The moonlight was like water, and she lay on the bed and sobbed sadly for a long time. With hazy tears, looking at the snow-white wall illuminated by the moonlight, the shadows of the trees swayed non-stop, very similar to the upright silhouette of Tuoba Ye, and his heart was even more sad and miserable. Suddenly remembered the words of Tuoba Ye on the eve of the crown saint on Gulangyu Island, "My love for you is by no means the love of men and women; I only regard you as the most beloved girl...... The cold and bone-chilling misery and grief froze the whole body like frost, and even the tears seemed to be frozen instantly.

When she fled from Gulangyu Island on the Snow Feather Crane that night, she had already made up her mind that she would never think about the ruthless and unrighteous stinky squid in this life and this life. But since I reunited with him on the Fengwei Tower, it was like an avalanche of spring water, and I couldn't help myself.

When these people get along with him, although they are as cold as ice, they are always looking forward to him being able to take care of themselves as they have in the past. Faintly, she even felt that even if he still just spoiled himself as the most beloved girl, she would be happy. But for some reason, the hateful bird thief had become so sluggish, as if he had lost even the courage to love her. Could it be that in his heart, he was so alienated, strange, and disgusting? When he thought of this, his heart felt like he was pierced by thousands of sharp cones! Tears thawed in an instant, and they flowed violently.

Slender trembled and wiped the tears rolling on her face, and took out the seven-hole conch from her arms. The orange-red translucent conch glows softly in the moonlight, and when the night breeze blows, the conch makes a subtle sound, like crying and sighing. She pressed the conch tightly to her face, a pleasant coldness, as if she smelled the fragrance of the waves, and remembered the scene of Tuoba Ye dancing wildly on the sunset beach, playing the conch, her heart ached like a cut, and she was confused.

The night wind blew the window, the tent shook the veil, and Xian Xian felt cold, curled up, shivering in the moonlight. His own shadow trembled slightly on the white wall, so lonely. She remembered the time when she slept in the same bed with Tuobano. When she woke up in the middle of the night, or couldn't sleep, she often quietly teased Tuobano, or pretended to be a snake beast with her hands, looked at the snake-like hand figure on the wall, stretched and "bitten" Tuobano's buttocks, covered her mouth and chuckled, or forcibly thumped her heartbeat, and secretly kissed the silhouette of Tuobano's cheek on the wall; The sweet, happy, and shy feeling is so far away now. In this life and this life, I am afraid that there will never be such a thing again.

A lonely figure, half of the moonlight. Xian Xian sat alone in the night breeze for a long time, feeling sorry for herself, suddenly her heart was like numbness, and suddenly all her thoughts were lost. In the vast world, it is so lonely and helpless, my heart is miserable, and I feel that the things in the world are not interesting. Tears flowed coldly, and he suddenly muttered: "Stinky bird thief, do you treat me as a rare you? I want to find my mother." ”

My heart struck, and I warmed up. It was as if a boat in the fog suddenly saw a lighthouse, and a pedestrian in the desert suddenly saw an oasis. Yes, she is not alone in this troubled world. The Queen Mother of Kunlun Mountain, isn't that the purpose of her coming all the way to this great wilderness?

For a while, my heart turned excited and happy, and I couldn't wait to fly to Kunlun Mountain immediately. She has always been reckless and does what she wants, and she wants to leave this place overnight. Then he thought again: "If you leave like this, most of the stinky bird thieves will be worried and anxious again." I wonder if he can still find me?" He snorted hatefully again, and muttered: "That ruthless and unrighteous bird thief is to make him so anxious that he can't find the south, east, west, and north! Hmph, if he really remembers me, even if he turns the great wilderness upside down, he will find me." "Thinking of Ming Yue Tuoba Ye and finding himself saying goodbye again without saying goodbye, he must be at a loss. "Poof" smiled, and his heart was extremely happy.

When it was, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside the window: "The Lord of the Eight Counties is back! The Lord of the Eight Counties is back!" Xian Xian jumped out of bed and looked out, only to see countless figures passing through the window, running towards the vicinity of Fengwei Tower. Her heart moved, it is easiest to fish in the mixed water, and if she doesn't leave at this time, when will she wait?

Without hesitation, he put away the conch, pushed open the window, and jumped out lightly.

The moonlight in the courtyard is sparse, and the shadows of the trees are uneven. She stood behind the locust tree, and waited for the raging flow of people to pass before jumping out of the fence of your hotel and running towards the west of the city.

Under the corner tower in the west of the city, there are few streets and alleys, no one is around, and the sentry of the city tower only cares about looking out. The slender heart is a little calm, the snow feather hairpin is plucked from the bun, the seal is silently recited, the snow feather crane is released from the hairpin, and the crane is gently jumped on the back of the crane to drive it high.

The sound of cranes is clear, and the snow feathers are like clouds. By the time the sentry posts found it, the snow-feathered crane had already soared into the sky, swept across the bright moon, and flew towards the northwest in the night sky.

※※※

In the Fengliu Pavilion, there are many people. Although the name of Fengliu Pavilion is Pavilion, it is actually a huge palace, located in the north of Fengclaw Mountain in the south of the city, stretching for several miles. Flying horns and eaves, criss-crossed, extremely majestic. This was originally the residence of Mu Yidao, the lord of Fengwei City, but after Emperor Yan took Fengwei City as the capital, it was changed to the Imperial Palace of Emperor Yan and the Hall of the Council of Elders.

Tonight, Emperor Yan feasted his ministers here, and nearly half of the banquet was heard, and when he heard that the lord of the eight counties had returned, everyone left the table to greet him.

When all the elders saw the Flame Stone returning, they were all overjoyed. As everyone knows, when it was said that his true body was taken to Yaobi Mountain by Chi Songzi, everyone couldn't help but be a little worried. That red pine nut is a great feud of the fire clan, and it is just when he is parting with the Nanyang fairy in life and death, if before the Nanyang fairy is separated, there is something unintentionally or unintentionally, and something happens that destroys the body of the scorching stone and the ice and jade, wouldn't it be extremely bad? Fortunately, the Chixia fairy told everyone that the sand guarding the palace on the arm of the scorching stone was still bright red, and the elders were relieved.

It turned out that after the red pine nuts and the Nanyang fairy were together in Yaobi Mountain for a few days, Nanyang's divine consciousness gradually escaped. Early this morning, Burning Smoke suddenly woke up and saw that he was sleeping on the legs of the red pine nuts, and he was so angry that he actually injured the seriously injured red pine nuts again. Seeing that Nanyang was dead, Chi Songzi's heart was like ashes, and he didn't fight back, but only laughed and told him about the incident. Flame Smoke Stone was shocked, left the red pine nuts, and rushed all the way towards Fengwei City, repeatedly encountered the rebels on the way, and relied on the strong Chiyan Zhenyuan in the body to kill the enemy, and finally arrived late at night.

Chiyou and Tuoba Ye stood outside the crowd, separated by countless heads, looking at the smoky stone with a cold smile, saluting everyone one by one, and suddenly felt so far away from her. Many scenes from a few days ago now seem like a world away.

Lie Yan caught a glimpse of Tuoba Ye and Chiyou, and beckoned happily: "Brother Tuoba, Brother Chiyou, come in quickly, the widow is sending someone to find you!"

Tuoba Ye and Chiyou smiled and promised, divided the flowers and willows, and strode in from the retreating crowd. Burning Smoke Stone turned around, and Bicui's eyes looked at Chiyou and the others lightly, not startled, as if they didn't know each other.

Chi You suddenly felt an inexplicable bitterness in his heart, and thought, "I don't know if you really forgot it?" or did you deliberately pretend not to recognize me?" Ignoring the crowd, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The grace of the eight county lords to save their lives, Chiyou will never forget!"

Most of the people didn't know about the fact that the smoky stone sacrificed their lives to save Chi You, and they were all in an uproar when they saw that Chi You, who was plain and cold, actually thanked him with a big salute. Lie Yan was also taken aback, and suddenly froze, could it be that Lie Yanshi actually fell into the magma in order to save Chi You? He has always understood his sister-in-law, and his surname is indifferent and extreme, if he is not an extremely important person, he will never pay attention to it, let alone sacrifice his life to save him. There was a "cluck" in his heart, and he guessed it probably, and he couldn't help but smile with surprise on his face, but his heart sank immediately, and he frowned silently. Although Chi You is untamed, but bold and brave, affectionate handouts, and himself is also quite in love, if the indifferent sister is devoted to him, good things are successful, he is naturally happy for his sister as a brother. But he immediately remembered that the Burning Smoke Stone was destined to be the fate of the saint who had been lonely all her life, and suddenly sighed gloomily and worried.

Burning Smoke Stone stared at Chi You, the dazed and confused look in Bi's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Did I save you?"

Everyone was even more surprised, only the Chixia Fairy's bright eyes flowed, and a gloomy and joyful look flashed in her eyes. The moment she met the scorching smoky stone, her mental power swept away, and she had already discovered that the heart lock of the eight county lords had disappeared, presumably the scorching smoky stone was in the volcanic magma, cut and boiled, and was surging by the Nanyang fairy primordial god and the volcanic spiritual power, and finally intensified the heart lock mana, making her forget the love entanglement with Chiyou in advance. Fortune and misfortune leaned on each other, and in order to save Chi You, Flame Smoke Stone sacrificed himself to jump into the Chiyan Volcano, but he cultivated into the incomparably powerful Chiyan True Yuan, and completely forgot Chi You. The development of the situation all went according to the mind of the Chixia Fairy, which made her inexplicably happy. But deep in my heart, there is a touch of guilt and sadness.

Chi You Yileng, did she really forget? Burning Yanshi said indifferently: "I don't even recognize who you are, and I will save you? Your Excellency must have recognized the wrong person." The voice was elegant and cold, like pouring a basin of snow water on Chi You's head.

Chi You slowly stood up, suspicious in his heart, and thought: "Yes, is it because she is thin-skinned and afraid that others will know, so she pretends not to know me?" But seeing that her eyes were as cold as frost and snow, and her expression did not seem to be fake, her heart sank. He glanced at Tuoba Ye and was surprised. What had happened from the moment the smoky stone fell into the lava? In an instant, this question surged in the hearts of both of them.

Tuoba has different ambitions, but with all the elders of the Fire Clan at the moment, it is not appropriate to dwell on this. He gently poked Chi You's elbow and said with a smile: "The lord of the eight counties has given great grace, and he doesn't take it to heart, and he really has the demeanor of a nobleman." ”

Fairy Chixia said lightly: "Prince Tuoba and Prince Chiyou glued the Holy Grail and rescued the Red Emperor, and they also have great favors to our clan, in comparison, what the apprentice did is nothing." This little thing is to ask Chiyou Gongzi to forget it!"

Chiyou and Tuoba Ye were slightly stunned, feeling that there seemed to be another deep meaning in her words. Chi You was slightly angry, and said in his heart: "His grandmother's seaweed fish skin, how can I Chi You be a person who knows how to repay his kindness!" was about to speak, but was gently pulled by Tuoba Ye, and heard him laugh and said: "What the fairy said is that the great favor is not thankful, and he will do his best to repay it." ”

All the elders laughed and said, "Prince Tuoba is polite! The great kindness of the prince, our whole clan should take it to heart." ”

Lie Yan smiled and said, "That's right! Brother Tuoba and Brother Chiyou, the two of you are more important to my Fire Clan than Chiyan Mountain! ”

Everyone smiled and said yes. Lie Yan pulled Tuoba Ye and Chi You into the table, and Zhu Rong, Chixia Fairy, and the elders also sat down one by one. Burning Smoke Stone and Chixia Fairy sat together, just across the main hall, sitting opposite Chiyou.

The orchestra sounded, the bladders were staggered, and everyone laughed and laughed, only Chi You frowned and said silently, staring at the scorching stone, and said to himself: "Could it be that the Yuan Shen was burned in the magma, so that he forgot the past? But if it is amnesia, why can't he only remember me?" Ever since he learned that Flame Smoke Stone had a deep affection for him and that life was in harmony, his heart was greatly shocked, and he couldn't help but have a trace of inexplicable feelings for her. Although it is far less divine than the soul of Xian Xian, it also has a gentle sense of gratitude. At this time, seeing that she suddenly judged the two of them, she was so indifferent that she seemed to have forgotten all the past. Surprised, I couldn't help but feel quite lost.

Seeing that he was staring at him all the time, his eyes did not move, and his eyebrows frowned slightly! A slight anger flashed in his eyes. Chi You's eyes were cold and disgusting, as if he were some disgusting monster. He had always been arrogant and self-respecting, and when his heart went down, he was also angry, and turned his head away from her. Suddenly, he thought to himself, "Could it be that in the volcano, I was hallucinating in a coma? This woman never rushed down to save me? Yes, how could this woman be so selfish and indifferent, how could she sacrifice her life to save me? What is interesting to me, most of it is that the bird thief is talking nonsense and speculating nonsense. Thinking like this, I was relieved, but the disappointment and bitterness in my heart were stronger for some reason. At the moment, I poured myself more than ten glasses of spirits, and from my throat to my stomach, it was like a fire knife cutting, but my heart was still empty and sour.

Suddenly, in the midst of the raging firelight, the tearful and sad smile of the Flame Stone came to mind again: the hands that gradually curled and closed like orchids, the broken and rapidly steamed tears, the gentle, sweet and sad eyes...... It was so real, so intense, that he shook violently, and the wine in his glass almost spilled.

The heart is like numbness, and for a while, this situation and the other scene are plausible, and the real illusion is difficult to distinguish. Suddenly, he mused, "That's it, it's beyond doubt that she saved my life, how can I just guess like this because she can't remember me? Wouldn't it be better if she couldn't remember my grandmother's seaweed fish skin? It's all the nonsense of the stinky bird thief that makes me have such inexplicable thoughts." Make up her mind now, whether she really can't remember herself or not, and be happy to keep her distance from her. As for the life-saving grace, I should do my best to repay it. As soon as I thought of this, my heart relaxed! I didn't think about it anymore, just tilted my head and drank.

After three rounds of drinking, I suddenly heard a noisy sound outside the hall. The dragon beast hissed, and someone shouted outside the hall: "The sentinel in the north of the city has something important to report!"

Everyone was shocked: "Could it be that the rebels are coming to kill them by detouring to the north?" The orchestra stopped, and the crows were silent.

A messenger soldier hurried in, bowed down in front of the steps outside the hall, and said: "The sentry of the sixteenth post in the north of Shicai City saw a woman flying out of the city on a white crane and heading northwest. The Flying Phoenix cavalry chased after the interception, but it was already a step too late. I couldn't see it clearly in the night, but it looked like a slender saint ......"

"What!" Tuoba Ye and Chiyou were taken aback, Huo Ran got up, Chiyou stood on tiptoe, and lightning flashed over everyone's heads and rushed out. Tuoba Ye hugged his fists and said: "Everyone, please come, I'll come when I go!" Before the words fell, the figure was already dozens of feet away.

The three of Tuoba Ye were the guests of the Fire Clan, and Xian Xian suffered a lot because of the Fire Clan, and when they heard that she did not say goodbye, where could Lie Yan and the others still sit still? They got up one after another, and rushed out of the main hall with the two of Tuoba Ye and rushed towards the Gui Hotel in the west of the city.

Hundreds of people swept across the long bluestone street like a violent wind, and went straight into your hotel. The guards were all shocked when they saw Emperor Yan, the Fire God, the Holy Maiden, and many elders rushing at the same time.

Tuoba Ye and Chiyou were anxious and searched around. The doors and windows are swaying, half of the moonlight is on the wall, and the house is empty, how can there be half a figure?

※※※

The wind whistled, and wisps of clouds flew through the ears in front of them. The sky and the earth are vast, the night is miserable, and the sense of loneliness and panic wells up in the slender heart.

This trip to Kunlun is far away, thousands of rivers and mountains, and I don't know how many sinister winds and rains during it. When she flew away from Gulangyu alone, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers and was fearless, but after experiencing successive storms and dangers, she knew to be cautious. In the distance, strange clouds and dark fog, clutch and change like demons dancing. The cold wind blew, and there was a sudden cold fear in my heart, and I wanted to turn around immediately, rush back to Fengwei City, and wait until dawn to go on the road with Tuoba Ye and Chiyou.

His mind moved, and he seemed to see Tuoba Ye's mocking smile, and seemed to hear him say disdainfully in his ear: "Silly girl, I knew you were coming back!" In his heart, he gritted his teeth and said: "Stinky bird thief, can't you live if I leave you?" I want to go to my mother alone!" He raised his head and said loudly: "What kind of demons and monsters, I'm not afraid!" But tears couldn't help but flow.

At the moment, he was angry and held back his fear, drove the crane to fly high, danced in the wind, and went all the way west.

After more than an hour, the sky gradually brightened. The morning star is faint, and the light moon is faint. Looking back, the east has already revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

After flying for a few more moments, ten thousand rays of light suddenly shot out from behind her, and the clouds were gilded with gold. The sun shone on her body, warm and crispy, and the previous cold and fear disappeared in an instant.

Slender heart full of joy, through the flying clouds overlooking the earth, only to see a thousand mountains stretching, strange peaks steep, clear water such as a belt, in the meantime; thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, majestic and magnificent, compared with the previous all the way to see, not a scene.

In the sunlight, the sky flies, the winged beasts hover, and the screaming monsters collapse into the clouds and mist. The snow-feathered crane cries happily, passing through the golden mountains and the sea of clouds in an instant.

The snow-feathered crane flies extremely fast, flying hundreds of miles in half a day. At noon, the sun was hot, the slender and sweaty were dripping, and the belly was hungry. At that moment, drive the crane to fly low and go to the nearby mountains and forests to find wild fruits.

The snow-feathered crane hovers and flies and lands in a valley with a babbling stream. Xian Xian found some lychees and other wild fruits on the hillside, washed them by the stream, and ate a full meal. The sun is gorgeous, the empty valley is lonely, and the crisp birds are accompanied by the flowing water, which makes it more quiet.

Xian Xian sat in the shadow of the grass slope and trees, looking at a pair of butterflies fluttering, and suddenly there was a sadness, tears dripping down for no reason, and she said in her heart, "It turns out that butterflies are so happy." "The snow feather crane stood proudly on one leg, and when he saw her suddenly crying, his white wings fluttered and gently patted her on the back, bent down his long neck, and sang clearly.

She smiled and stroked the long neck of the Snow Feather Crane, and said softly, "Sister Crane, are you comforting me?" She has been with this Snow Feather Crane for several years, and she has long been like a close friend in the boudoir, and she has nothing to talk about. At that time, the white dragon deer was also jealous of it, and was quite hostile to the snow feather crane, and every time he saw it, he would roar and pursue.

The Snow Feather Crane chirped several times and gently pecked her cheek. Xian Xian sighed, "You said that my skin is too thin, do you want me to give the stinky bird thief three or four first?" Xian Xian's heart was sour, and she said in a low voice: "Sister He, if he is half as good as you say, I won't leave in anger!"

Butterflies flutter and dance around. Xian Xian stared in a daze, and tears rolled down again. I don't know if the ruthless and short-lived stinky bird thief has been found at this time? Suddenly I regretted it for a while, and I should leave some clues in the house, so that the bird thief and squid could easily find it.

Just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a strange cry from the sky. Slender and overjoyed, blurted out: "The sun is black!"

The dense foliage is jagged, revealing a corner of the blue sky. Under the blue sky, the peaks are steep, the black rocks are abrupt, and the cry comes from behind the peak. Xian Xian suddenly thought to herself, "What if that stinky bird thief flies through the sky and doesn't see me? He pouted and thought, "Yes, I flew past him on a crane, and if he called me, I deliberately pretended not to hear, and I was angry with him." He pursed his lips and smiled.

The howls drew nearer and closer, and suddenly several black shadows flew out from behind the peak, rushing into the valley like lightning. Slender eyes, immediately saw that the black shadows were six black strange birds, huge beaks like hooks, red eyes better than blood, a huge sarcoma on the top of the head, wings black feathers like steel, when flattened there are more than four zhang wide. Abdomen with four claws, short in front and long in the back. At this time, the hind paws are slightly bent, and the front paws are hooked with a large pale cyan silk sac, which trembles slightly like a silkworm chrysalis.

Xian Xian was greatly disappointed in her heart, and muttered, "Stinky Bird Thief, I knew it wasn't you." Suddenly, there was a wave of grievance and bitterness, and tears welled up again. The Snow Feather Crane tilted his head and whined, as if he was very pity.

Suddenly, I heard the strange bird's cry, and when I looked up, a strange bird roared in sorrow, and suddenly fell straight from the air, and smashed heavily into the valley stream. The water splashed, and the strange bird twitched a few times! No longer moving, and the blood quickly dried up.

The remaining five strange birds swooped down, hovering around the corpse for a moment, their hind paws sweeping over it. Seeing that it was indeed dead, he roared and flew into the sky, soaring towards the west.

Slender jumped down the hill, walked over to the bird's corpse, and crouched down to inspect it. The giant bird lay in the stream, and the clear water upstream washed away, turning into blood from both sides, and the smell was unbearable. Slender frowned, picked up a branch, and flicked the giant wings of the bird's corpse. With a "snort", the branch was suddenly cut off by the wing feathers of the black corpse.

Xian Xian was taken aback and looked intently. I saw that above the giant wings, the feathers were black and shiny, like daggers. Fang knew that the wings of this strange bird were like ten thousand knives together, and they were extremely sharp. At that moment, he carefully opened its wings, and saw that between the ribs and abdomen of the strange bird, a long arrow was inserted, and the arrow feathers were missing. Thinking that this strange bird was hit by an arrow somewhere, and flew here with force, and finally died.

Xian Xian's heart was curious, this strange bird saw that it had great strength, and its wings were natural weapons, I don't know who had such ability to pierce its ribs with an arrow. At that moment, he carefully reached out and grasped the arrow feather, and with a sharp force, pulled it out, and sat down on the ground. The arrow was six feet long, which was quite heavy. The arrow cluster is made of colorful iron, the arrow body is bronze, and the word "heavenly arrow" is engraved on it.

Xian Xian frowned and said, "Heavenly Arrow?" When she was young, she listened to her father tell the story of the famous people in the Great Wilderness, and the famous archers of the Great Wilderness were also counted, but she had never heard of the name of the Heavenly Arrow, and she thought that she was an unknown archer in the wilderness. I didn't care about it at the moment, and used the long arrow to provoke the green silk sac in the claws of the strange bird. The giant claws of the strange bird clawed very tightly, and it took a long time to pick open the silk sac.

The snowfeather crane suddenly chirped loudly, its beak hooking its slender collar. Slender slightly, knowing that this spirit bird must have a premonition of something ominous. Could it be that there is something terrible and dangerous hidden in this silk sac??—Slender was frightened at once, but curiosity prevailed, and she carefully hooked the silk sac with the long arrow and the branch, and fixed her eyes on it.

"Ahh

Falling from the sky, her head was shattered, her limbs and bones were broken, her brains were mixed with blood, red and white, her eyes were wide open, she was full of horror and fear, and the tears in the corners of her eyes had not dried.

After vomiting for a while, she suddenly felt inexplicable fear and fear, and her sorrow came from her heart, and she trembled and cried in a low voice. The snow-feathered crane flapped its white wings and gently stroked it, whining lowly.

Xian Xian cried for a long time, and gradually calmed down. Thinking of the tragic situation of the girl, my heart felt sorry. Suddenly thought to herself: "Yes! The remaining five strange birds also caught such a silk sac, are they all children?" Although she has the surname of herself, she has been influenced by her father and Tuoba Ye since she was a child, and she is quite chivalrous.

I wonder why these strange birds take children captive, and if they feed on them, why do they wrap them in silk sacs, and why do they bare the children in their sacs? A whole bunch of questions suddenly popped into my mind. Xian Xian bit her lip and thought about it for a long time, unable to figure it out, and was upset. After a sudden pause, she made up her mind and said to Snow Feather Crane: "Sister Crane, let's track down those strange birds and see where they are going to take those children!" She was worried about the life and death of those children, and for a while she left her own safety and the purpose of her westward journey behind.

The snow-feathered crane shook its head and chirped. Xian Xian stuck in her waist and said crisply: "Sister He, you are not right! Let's walk the rivers and lakes, we should be righteous and brave, draw our swords to help, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death! These words were so arrogant that even his cheeks were hot. Snow Feather Crane turned his head sideways to read, muttered for a long time, nodded and chirped.

Slender was overjoyed, hugged the neck of the snow-feathered crane, and said with a smile: "Let's go," turned over and jumped on the crane's back, and flew towards the western sky.

※※※

The snow-feathered crane soars rapidly to the west, and the air gradually turns colder, as if it is gradually moving from midsummer to early autumn, and from early autumn to late autumn, early winter, and wax moon. The terrain is getting higher and higher, and the mountains all around are towering majestically, like axes and knives, and they are not connected to each other. Above the peaks, the trees are fading and covered with snow. Occasionally, it is soft green, and it is also a coniferous wood. The further west you go, the less greenery you get. Thousands of mountains are covered with snow, like jade pillars staggered.

Half an hour later, I finally saw the five strange birds. The slender crouched on the crane's back, following closely behind.

After flying for more than half an hour, the oncoming wind became colder and colder, and the wind and sand were combined! The sun is setting in the west, and although the sun is still shining, it cannot dispel the chill at all. The slender true qi is sparse and ordinary, and he struggles to gather his breath and concentrate, but he is still shivering from the cold.

Overlooking the vast land, there are many sharp cliffs, rift valleys, and thick snow; blue-gray peaks are staggered, and there are few cold trees, and even the birds seem to be extinct.

The cold wind was howling, the delicate teeth were clattering, the petal-like lips had frozen to blue and purple, and the arms were tightly hugging the crane's neck, as if they had frozen and could not move. There was a thin layer of hoarfrost on the eyelashes! When the eyelashes were crossed, the ice melted away and the snow melted like tears. She regretted it slightly, knowing that these five strange birds were going to fly to such a desolate place, she didn't fly with her. But when I thought of the girl's tragic situation, my blood boiled and I lifted my spirits. Suddenly, his heart moved: "Oh! Could it be that this is the Cold Desolate Country of the Western Regions?"

When she was a child, she heard her father say that the coldest and most desolate place in the Great Wilderness, except for Beihai, was the Cold Desolate Country of the Western Regions. The cold and barren country stretches for thousands of miles, full of dog-tooth sharp mountains, the trees are scarce, and it is as cold as winter all year round, and there are many fierce beasts in the area, most of which live on cannibalism. The eight barbarian tribes of the Cold Wilderness Country are brave and good at fighting, and they are more ferocious than the tribes of the Southern Wilderness and the Barbarians of the North Sea. The Eight Tribes of the Cold Wilderness have a vendetta with the Jin Clan, but thirty years ago, the White Emperor of the Jin Clan refused to exchange his sincere heart for the trust of the chiefs of the Eight Clans, and clapped his hands on the Xihuang Mountain as an alliance.

But the most famous thing in the Cold Desolation Country is not the "Western Emperor's Alliance", but the "Seven Beasts of the Cold Desolation". Among the "Top Ten Fierce Beasts" of the Great Wilderness Dynasties, there must be cold desolate demon beasts. Among them, the seven fierce beasts such as "Ice Armor Horned Demon Dragon" and "Cold Desolate Tree" are the most famous. Although the primordial gods of these seven fierce beasts were sealed in the cold and desolate mountains by the heroes of the Great Wilderness, they still wreak havoc from time to time, endangering the common people. Legend has it that these fierce beasts are the corpses of the ancient gods of the cold wilderness, so the eight tribes of the cold wilderness respect and fear and hate these fierce beasts, and worship them as the totem holy beasts in the clan.

Xian Xian Xin said: "These five strange birds are also cold and desolate strange birds. I saw the five strange birds screaming, shuttling high and low between thousands of dangerous peaks and cliffs, and flying towards an extremely steep peak in the distance. The peak has no grass, frost and snow are all over, and on the top of the cliff, there are many boulders, cracks in the road, and only in the snow on the top of the mountain, a green pine is like a cover, proudly crossing the sky.

Five strange birds flew around the side of the peak, screaming for a long time, and flew in a line into the depression and gap on the west side of the peak. The slender crane flies and follows away.

The frost and wind danced angrily, the sand and gravel flew, and countless gray sand and stone rain, snow foam and ice chips swept with the wind from the group of peaks and cliffs, and hit the ground with their heads and faces. Xian Xian covered her face with her sleeves, squinted her eyes, and saw that in the depression of the mountain cliff, there was a deep and dark population, narrow and narrow, and all the strange birds flew in from this gap.

There was a slight fear in Xian Xian's heart, and she didn't know what kind of world was in the darkness. But this is the end of the matter, how can we give up halfway? At the moment, we gritted our teeth and drove the crane away.

When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, a yin wind whistled out of the cave, and the smell was fishy, and his slender body shook and almost fell off the crane's back, and he hurriedly hugged the snow feather crane to stabilize his body. The snowfeather crane dodged the cold and fishy wind and flew gracefully into the hole.

Dazzling, suddenly darkness reigned, and the stench of blood was everywhere between the snorts, and the annoyance was disgusting. Xian Xian's heart thumped, she held her breath and concentrated, and took out the "crystal flint" given by the Tanggu Fire Clan Ranger from her arms, and looked around with the leaping fluorescence.

The two walls are uneven, the depth of the ground is different, and in front of it is a deep and winding road. Slender took a deep breath and mused, "These strange birds are very difficult, and when you find those children, take them out of the cave immediately." Holding back his fear, he sealed the Snow Feather Crane into the hairpin, held the crystal flint high, and walked in one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The yin wind shouted, the stench was pressing, and the slender was about to vomit out several times, for fear that the sound of vomiting would stir up in this corridor and alarm those strange birds. His own shadow dragged and jumped on the cave wall, fickle, like a ghost. There was a faint strange cry from the cave, and the ghosts cried and howled. Xian Xian was scared in her heart, and she didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

In her life, under the protection of her father and Tuobano, she had never walked alone in such a dangerous place, and her heart became more and more frightened, and she wanted to turn around and run out several times, and the hand holding the crystal flint gradually began to tremble, and her heart suddenly remembered Tuobano's warm smile, which flowed through her whole body like a warm current. Biting his lip and thinking, if Brother Tuoba is here, holding his hand and looking away, any fears and fears can be left behind.

Thinking of Tuoba Ye's alienation and indifference to him, tears rolled down his eyes, and his heart ached, and he thought: "What do you want him to do if the stinky bird thief is so ruthless and unrighteous to you? If he hadn't treated you like this, how could you have run here alone? It's been a whole day, and I haven't seen him chasing after me, and I must have gotten carried away in the arms of those singers and dancers." I'm afraid he won't even remember what you look like......" There was a sharp pain in his heart, and he leaned against the wall and sobbed. The cold cave walls, the cold and strange wind, the dancing of clothes and skirts, and the cold all around. She stood alone in this cave, only feeling that the world was so big, that she was so isolated and helpless, and for a time a sadness that she had never felt before came to her heart, and she cried silently, and was extremely sad.

I cried for a long time, and then thought to myself: "No one in this world cares about me, I just die here, who cares?" Suddenly, I felt that if I was really eaten by this strange bird, buried in this cave silently, and returned to no one from now on, it would be extremely happy. I felt sorry for myself, and thought, "I wonder if the stinky bird thief will feel sad and guilty when he learns about it?" Wiping away his tears and thinking for a while, the fear in his heart was greatly reduced.

Take a deep breath, pick up the flint again, and walk inside.

After walking for a while, the stone cave gradually widened, and there was a faint light flickering in front of it. Startled, Slender took the flint into her arms, held her breath, and crept into the cave wall. Suddenly, there was a strange cry ahead, and a gust of wind blew in the face.

Xian Xian was startled, and saw that there was a concave stone hole in front of her! The black shadows fluttered and screamed, and the strange birds flew and rushed by, and their huge bodies swept through the narrow hole, as light and free as swimming fish. The strange bird ran very fast, and did not see the slightest slenderness in the shadows, and in the blink of an eye it seemed to be out of the hole.

Xian Xian was relieved, and was about to stride in, when she suddenly thought, "I don't know if there are other strange birds in the cave?"

After going around several stone walls, I finally came to a rather large stone cave. The stalactites of the stone cave are hanging stones, the teeth are staggered, and many colored spars on the four walls are shining, illuminating the cave in a strange light. The walls of the cave are hollowed out, and many slightly smaller cave walls are adjacent. Dozens of green silk sacs hung in the air with crystal filaments, squirming slightly.

Xian Xian was taken aback: Could it be that those strange birds had caught so many children? Immediately rushed forward, took out the inch-long "Inch Heart Folding Knife" given by the Jin Ranger from his arms, and the blue light flashed, and with a low "snort", the silk sac was gently sliced open. Sure enough, a ten-year-old [***] girl immediately fell in response to the sound and was caught by her steadily.

The girl seemed to have been so frightened that she stared at her with wide eyes, and could not even cry. Slender felt pity and gently laid her flat on the ground, stroking her hair. Seeing that the fear in her eyes had subsided slightly, she moved to the other silk sacs and cut them one by one with an "inch heart folding knife".

In a matter of moments, more than 20 [***] girls were taken out of the silk sac. These girls are all delicate, round and jade, and they are all rare beauty embryos, but they all seem to be greatly frightened, and they open their mouths wide, and they still can't make a sound.

"There are no less than seventy girls here!" How can they be taken away at once? "I was very troubled. I don't know when those strange birds will come back, if I can't move these girls out of the cave in time, and if I meet strange birds, I will lose all my efforts, and maybe I will really have to take a surname.

As she frowned and pondered, she suddenly noticed that the twenty or so girls on the ground were looking behind her in horror, their mouths wide open, and they couldn't cry.

At that time, a gust of wind blew from behind, and the neck was cold, like a sticky, icy poisonous snake crawling down its back, its cold hair standing on end, and goosebumps all over its body were raised. She was taken aback, and turned to look at her suddenly. The walls are empty, the silk sac is shaking, how can there be half a figure?

Xian Xian sighed, frightened. When she turned around, she saw the two dozen girls staring behind her in fear, some of them urinating incontinence, and urine running all over the ground. The wind gusted in his ears, as if someone was blowing in his ears, and his heart "clicked", and a cold and terrifying feeling rose on the ground.

Holding back his fear, he held his breath, tilted his head slightly, and glanced behind him. The light and shadow flickered. But on the uneven ground, there were two figures! The last one with long hair swaying was himself, but the other was drifting and waving like a ghost.

Xian Xian screamed "ah", his heart seemed to jump out of his throat, and he desperately grasped the inch heart folding knife and stabbed it behind him!

His wrists were cold, as if he was being held by some iron hoop, and he couldn't move. Xian Xian was frightened like crazy, and suddenly remembered the "Flower Transfer" in the "Aoki Spell", silently recited the magic trick, the wrist ghost flipped, and it was withdrawn like lightning, and suddenly swept out a few feet away, and turned around and reprimanded in a trembling voice: "Where is the demon, dare to be presumptuous!"

The man didn't seem to expect her to get out suddenly, and with a "huh", he stood up, staring blankly at her, and didn't hide anymore.

Xian Xian stared intently, was startled, screamed, stepped back, leaned against the stone wall, gasped, and almost cried out in fear.

The man was like a ghost, erratic, the wind blowing, and his body twisted and deformed. The green face was stained with blood, the dull eyes were all whites, the place where the nose was originally was, only two black holes remained, the lips were torn apart, the tongue was drooping, the teeth were clear, and saliva was constantly dripping from the mouth; the belly was broken, the flesh was blurred, and a mass of twisted intestines dragged out of it, swaying leisurely; the two arms were mutilated, and the white bones were scattered, and they were stretching out straight towards the slender and ten fingers were dancing; a pair of stump legs with only white bones left moved gently forward, floating straight towards the slender and hoarse, and the mouth was hoarse and lowThe sound of "Hehe" was like a gasp and a moan.
