Twenty-four years ago.

She was six years old and Xie Zhen was nine years old.

The two of them are world friends, and the funny thing is that she and Xie Zhen have never met before this.

Until Xie Zhen's birthday when she was nine years old, she and her mother stayed in Sun Moon City, and her father went to Jiangnan alone to attend the birthday banquet.

Xie Tingxue, the ancestor of the Xie family, is a genius in the century-old history of Xianmen, because of this, the Xie family was also extremely prosperous back then, but it is a pity that Xie Tingxue was ambitious, and in order to seize the spirit weapon of the ghost world, he broke into the ghost world alone, not only stayed in the ghost world forever but also harmed the generations of the Xie family.

On that day, Xie Zhen's father suddenly 'cursed', his consciousness dissipated into demons, and killed everyone present.

Only the nine-year-old Xie Zhen was left behind, and he was stuffed into the vat by his mother in time to escape the catastrophe.

Afterwards, the Xie family was surrounded by the Xianmen family, Xie Tingfeng knelt all over the scene, and everyone present did not exchange a trace of hope for Xie Zhen's life, and finally he drew his sword and killed himself, hoping to exchange his death for the young Xie Zhen's life.

When his father arrived, Xie Zhen was still hung on the demon platform, and Xie Tingfeng was tied in front of him and whipped the corpse.

At that time, Xie Zhen's face was expressionless, just staring at his father's corpse being whipped into a puddle of mud, without shedding a single tear.

The father was extremely heartbroken, hating that he had not arrived earlier, maybe he could have prevented the tragedy from happening, and for Xie Tingfeng's last wish, he desperately saved Xie Zhen and brought him to the Meng family.

That was the first time Meng Xingxue saw Xie Zhen.

The backyard of Meng's house.

Six-year-old Meng Xingxue looked immature, her eyes were firm, she pursed her lips, and threw out a spell with a 'snort', and a white mist exploded, flying out tens of thousands of red maple leaves, like moths that had been given life, gradually forming a barrier.

"Ayuki." A deep male voice came.

"Daddy." Meng Xingxue raised her hand to remove the spell for a while, and trotted in front of Meng Kuo, revealing a row of small teeth: "Daddy, you're finally back, is the birthday banquet fun?" ”

Meng Kuo rubbed Meng Xingxue's fluffy little head dotingly, and said, "Does Ah Xue miss her father?" ”

"Yes." Meng Xingxue smiled even more, tilted her head to see if Meng Kuo had brought her something to eat, but accidentally noticed the young man in white not far away.

The young man is dressed in white and snow, his body is thin, his face is picturesque, his long black hair is tied up high by a silver crown, and two strands of hair are left on his forehead to swing in the wind, he is in the sun, like an immortal who came out of the painting, the whole person is clean and clean, indescribably graceful and elegant.

"Ah Zhen, you come." Meng Kuo beckoned, and Xie Zhen hesitated for a moment before walking in front of him step by step.

"Ah Xue, this is Xie Zhen, I will be your senior brother in the future."

The little girl's posture was nervous, her cheeks were slightly redder than usual, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she gently restrained herself, reaching out to hold Xie Zhen's arm, but the other party was extremely sensitive and bounced her away, taking half a step back and looking defensive.

"Yes... I'm sorry I scared you. The little girl panicked and didn't know what to do for a while.

Meng Kuo knew what had happened to Xie Zhen, he squatted down and stroked Xie Zhen's back like a father, and comforted him softly while trimming his clothes: "Ah Zhen, this will be your home in the future, no one will bully you and no one will dare to bully you, this is Ah Xue, your junior sister." ”

Xie Zhen's amber eyes were full of vigilance, and after a while, he softened, he cautiously came to Meng Xingxue, followed her appearance, grabbed her arm, and said in a somewhat restrained voice: "Hello Senior Sister Axue, I'm Xie Zhen." ”

The little girl grinned and held Xie Zhen's cold hand with her backhand: "Hello senior brother, I'm Meng Xingxue." ”

The sudden warmth made Xie Zhen subconsciously want to withdraw his hand, but looking at Meng Xingxue's pure smile, for some reason his flustered heart gradually calmed down.

"Senior brother, come, let me show you my newly created spell."

Meng Xingxue pulled Xie Zhen to an open place, raised his hand and drew a spell and flew out, a golden light flashed, and with a 'bang', the sky exploded into a cloud of mist, and tens of thousands of red maple leaves flew out, turning into countless moths as if they were given life, fluttering in the air.

"Awesome." Meng Xingxue tilted her head, looking at Xie Zhen's eyes full of anticipation.

Xie Mu nodded sneeringly, "Amazing." ”

Meng Xingxue folded her hands around her chest and explained proudly: "This is a defensive talisman that I have studied myself, it has no lethal power, and it can confuse the enemy to buy time for escape." ”

Xie Zhen said: "It's amazing... What is its name? ”

Meng Xingxue scratched her hair, a little distressed: "I haven't chosen a name yet... Why don't you get one for me, senior brother? ”

Xie Zhen raised his eyes, looking at the dense maple trees in the sky, there was a sense of sadness between his eyebrows, and he said softly: "It's better to... It's called... Let's send a talisman. ”

-

As soon as dawn, after Meng Xingxue returned to Xingyun Academy, he was pulled to the dormitory by Xie Si and his party, who had just returned from the back mountain.

Jiang Yousi proposed to report the murder corpse in Houshan to Ouyang Changkong as soon as possible, but Yun Jinshu wanted to go to His Majesty to read a copy of him and accuse him of dereliction of duty.

"Hmph, Ouyang Changkong hasn't found a murderous corpse in the back mountain in Xingyun Academy for so many years, I'll add fuel and vinegar, it's best to let Your Majesty remove him."

Wen Ruyu said: "Ah, can it work? ”

Yun Jinshu said: "Why not, you all listen to me... Besides, even if you tell him what he can do, the Ouyang clan is a waste that only eats dry rice for nothing, and it is useless to tell them. ”

Jiang Yousi wanted to say something, but was immediately scolded by Yun Jinshu pointing his nose, "The surname Jiang, you were going to say that you were my little brother at the time, don't think that you dare to refute me now that you are on your thighs, shut up as soon as possible." ”

As he spoke, his eyes moved to Wen Ruyu and gave him a fierce look.

Wen Ruyu touched her nose and looked at Meng Xingxue: "Ah Li, what do you think?" ”

Meng Xingxue leaned on the edge of the table, her hands around her chest in thought. She subconsciously looked at Xie Si, and the other party seemed to understand what she meant, and bowed slightly in response.

She smiled lightly and said, "Tell Ouyang Changkong first." ”

Before Yun Jinshu went crazy, she immediately explained: "You are the county lord, Ouyang Changkong naturally doesn't dare to do anything to you, but we are different, skipping the level of the report, Ouyang Changkong will investigate it afterwards, we can't afford to provoke him." ”

Yun Jinshu felt funny: "You are also a master who is afraid of people? ”

Xie Si spoke up at the right time: "Seconded." ”

Unable to resist a few people, Yun Jinshu reluctantly came to Ouyang Changkong's residence with a few people.

Meng Xingxue's chin nodded, Wen Ruyu immediately understood, knocked on the door, raised her neck and shouted, "Dean, are you awake?" Students have something to say. ”

Ouyang Changkong opened the door suddenly, with a dark face, his eyes swept over several people one by one, and he reprimanded unhappily: "What do you want to do in the morning?" ”

Wen Ruyu said weakly: "Lord Dean, we have something to report to you. ”

"Say it quickly."

"Hey, when a few of us went to the back mountain to catch chickens, we found that there was an ancient well deep in the back mountain, and the murderous corpse would crawl out at night, so terrible."

Ouyang Changkong's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he reprimanded a few people even louder: "Who allowed you to enter the back mountain, did you listen to the rules of the academy on the first day of enrollment in vain?" ”

Wen Ruyu suddenly remembered the courtyard rule that 'Houshan is a forbidden land', and was just about to explain when she was drowned by Ouyang Changkong's spittle and retreated.

"You guys are so bold, don't you know what is going on in the back mountain after so many years in Xingyun Academy? The reason why it was established as a forbidden place is that you ignorant students are afraid that you ignorant students will break in and have an accident, but you dare to ignore the rules of the school and run in on your own? ”

"Tell me? The old man has been cultivating for so many years, does he still need you to remind him to find that group of murderous corpses? One by one, I don't know how thick the sky is, and the two volumes of the rules of the courtyard are all copied for me a hundred times, and if you can't finish copying, don't eat, and give me a roll. ”

With a 'bang', Ouyang Changkong slammed the door hard.

Wen Ruyu and Jiang Yousi looked at each other with bitter expressions.

More than 2,000 court rules copied a hundred times? This has to be copied to the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse.

Yun Jinshu cut it disdainfully, turned his head and left, complaining as he walked: "I said that I shouldn't come to tell him, you have to rush to be scolded, now it's okay, a hundred times the rules of the courtyard, copy you to death." ”

Wen Ruyu said: "Don't you copy it?" ”

Yun Jinshu was even more disdainful, "Whoever likes to copy who copys... The lord of this county will go back to the palace to visit him now, knowing that there is a murderous corpse and not dealing with it, the crime will be added to the first degree. ”

"Well, what do you think we're messing with?" Jiang Yousi let out a long sigh, remembering the rules of the courtyard a hundred times, scratching his head and cheeks worriedly.

Wen Ruyu was also worried, "Ah Li, this..."

Meng Xingxue raised her hand and said extremely casually: "Help me copy it, thank you." ”

Xie Si was more polite than her, and made a gesture: "And me, trouble Mr. Wen." ”

“......”

Wen Ruyu pointed to the backs of the two of them, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Could it be his?"

Xie Si caught up with Meng Xingxue, and the two were side by side.

Meng Xingxue said: "Refining the murderous corpse to manipulate the puppet requires a spiritual weapon as a medium, Ouyang Changkong and a mortal do not have such an ability, but... He didn't want to clear his name. ”

Xie Si said: "You might as well explore it again." ”

Hearing this, Meng Xingxue suddenly stopped and met Xie Si's eyes.

Xie Si was stared at a little unnaturally by her sudden gaze, and said, "What? ”

She raised her eyebrows, her narrow eyes flashed with essence, and she slowly approached Xie Si and said, "You... Know me? ”

This knowledge is not the other's understanding.

She suspected that what Xie Si knew at the moment was not Wen Li, but... Meng Xingxue...

Xie Si was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure in an instant, and said lightly: "Naturally, I know, Gongzi Wenli." ”

Meng Xingxue's cold face showed a touch of indifference.

"Brother Xie, I'm curious about what you look like under this mask, can you satisfy my curiosity?"

As she spoke, she reached out and tried to take off Xie Si's mask, but was stopped in mid-air by the other party.

"When the time comes, I'll let you see."

The sunlight shone faintly on the man's silver mask, the eyes hidden under the mask were complex and deep, and his voice was cold, but there was a hint of warmth.

The two were at a stalemate for a moment, Meng Xingxue hooked her lips, raised her eyebrows delicately, let go of the back of her hand behind her back, and spit out two words lightly: "Okay." ”
