Chapter 1: The Boy in the Snow

Next Chapter

It's cold.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, thousands of peaks are wrapped and thousands of trees are withered.

The flying snow is based on the earth, the mountains and rivers are the walls, and the sky is the top, casting the world into a cage ravaged by wind and knives.

Frozen everything, only a mouthful of clear water and cold pools remained, ancient and deep.

There was a thin figure standing by the water, with a naked upper body and skin like black charcoal, which was particularly eye-catching in the vast snowy scene.

This is a teenager with slender limbs and a thin torso, and he doesn't seem to be aware of the snowflakes falling on his neck.

I don't know who exclaimed, and the figure by the pool had jumped into the water, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The splashes of water turned into countless scattered jade beads, and the ding dong fell and shattered the mirror, and circles of ripples of different sizes rippled silently.

The cold pool is more than ten zhang wide, and the back is against the unclimbable steep mountain.

At the edge of the stone wall, the narrow and sharp transparent icicles hang vertically, and the cold light of the forest is prohibitive.

Further up are endless snow-capped peaks, just above the highest snowy flat, pale and dotted with a grain of red pink.

A young girl in a precious robe was condescending, and a snow-white steed loomed in the snow-colored shadow.

Not far away, another bloated yellow figure came up, twisting its clumsy body and climbing onto the snow with its hands and feet.

"Miss." The man called, put one hand on his waist, and gasped for air.

"How?" The girl looked back down the hill and looked at her personal maid.

"I inquired clearly, it was Steward Feng who offered a reward below to catch fish." The maid replied.

The girl looked puzzled: "Catch fish?"

The maid explained: "Two days ago, Steward Feng bought a strange fish that he had never seen before in the hands of the fishmonger in the market, and the uncle was full of praise after eating it. ”

The girl's eyes showed a hint of curiosity, and she asked, "Father's mouth has always been very tricky, what kind of fish can lower his imperial tongue?" ”

"It is said that the strange fish was shaped like a paulownia leaf and red as a red flame, and as soon as it came ashore, it was steaming hot, and it could be eaten without cooking. The flesh of the fish is as sparkling as jade, both as juicy as cooked fish and as tender and refreshing as live fish, and the taste is wonderful. The uncle also specially gave the name - a leaf red. The maid paused and added, "Such a thing of unknown origin, naturally I didn't dare to give it directly to the uncle at first." Steward Feng used three coins of silver to coerce and lure him to persuade Ning Er to try it. ”

"It's special." The girl nodded and looked at the mountain again, "But it seems that this fish is not easy to catch." ”

"Yes." The maid responded, "Steward Feng has made a meritorious contribution to the fish and has been rewarded by the uncle." On the second day, he went to the fishmonger again, and after questioning, he realized that this 'Yiye Hong' came from the cold pool below. The fishmonger was just passing by that day when he happened to come across a fish that jumped ashore on its own. ”

The girl stared at the calm water from a distance, and her eyes showed a strange look: "I have some impressions of this cold pool, it is said that it existed before the local ancestors moved here. For countless years, the water in the pond has never frozen, but the water temperature is extremely cold. A long time ago, there were many incidents of passers-by accidentally falling into the water. It is said that those who fell into the water stiffened as soon as they touched the pool, and after struggling for a few breaths, they sank directly into the water, and none of them survived. Later, it gradually became regarded as an ominous place, and few people set foot on it. ”

"So dangerous?" The maid shook her head and said with some regret, "I just glanced at it from a distance below, and saw that the person who entered the water was only wearing a single coat on a snowy day, and I thought it was a high and bold artist, but now it seems that most of it is more than lucky." ”

"He's been in the water for a while, and we'll know if it's good or bad." The horse's hooves kicked up a black and white slush on the ground, and the girl smiled slightly and whipped the horse down the mountain.

"Let's go, go down the mountain and have a look."

There was a grumbling voice behind him: "Miss, I just came up from below and climbed for a long time." ”

————

In the dark underwater world, a cyan strange fish slowly fell downward, still unwilling to struggle before dying.

At the site of a hideous wound in his head, there were several strands of flesh that were about to break, and at the other end were a spike more than a foot long.

Judging from the shape of the wound on the head, it was bitten off by a person, and the eyeballs on both sides of the fish's head were also pinched alive, leaving only two hideous and terrifying blood holes.

The surroundings were filled with blood, as if they had just experienced a life-and-death battle.

Not far away, the young man who entered the water was quietly suspended in the water with his eyes closed, his long hair floating in the water covering his face, and bright red blood oozing from his left shoulder from time to time.

The diffuse blood spreads like a light and soft tulle that stretches down an irregular path.

Until the blood was diluted to the point that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, a faint light lit up in the deepest part of the endless black waters, as if something unknown that had been sleeping for endless years had finally been awakened.

The light flickered incessantly, as if anxiously calling for something, and finally gradually reverted to dimming and fell into a deep sleep.

The unconscious boy was unaware of this, and a faint light shone on his right hand, and a big fiery red fish was struggling wildly in the fishing net.

Just as the fishing net was about to be freed, the boy suddenly opened his eyes, and his slowly released five fingers suddenly clenched.

————

On the shore, Steward Feng clasped his hands in his sleeves and stared at the water quietly, without a trace of expression on his cold and white face.

A middle-aged subordinate stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's been so long, I'm afraid the corpse is cold." ”

Steward Feng's thin lips trembled slightly, and he let out a sigh.

At this moment, there was a "bang" on the surface of the water, and a figure broke out of the water.

The young man's black and thin body fell to the ground heavily, and as soon as the splashed water droplets touched the snow, they instantly condensed into crystal round ice beads.

Steward Feng's face turned into surprise, and the subordinate hurriedly stepped forward to take the fishing net in the young man's hand.

The flesh of the wound on his shoulder was still turned out, and blood was still oozing out, but the young man got up and walked to the side, picked up a gray and white light shirt and put it on.

He wiped his hands clean before carefully hanging a plain red amulet back around his neck.

Steward Feng waited quietly for him to finish this, and was about to speak, when a figure suddenly rushed in front of the young man.

The person who came was the yellow-clothed maid who came in a hurry, she looked the young man up and down curiously, stuffed a white porcelain bottle into his hand, and dropped a sentence, "My young lady gave you the golden medicine." And he hurried away.

The young man didn't know why, and looked in the direction where the maid ran away, only to vaguely see a pink-clothed figure riding a white horse with a slight sideways smile, and then left in style.

There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes, but he didn't do anything, turned around and asked Steward Feng for a reward, and then he was satisfied and planned to leave.

Steward Feng looked at the young man's back and suddenly asked, "What's your name?" ”

The young figure was about to speak, when a gust of wind swept through the snow, enveloping everyone.

"Mo Hansheng."

A slightly hoarse voice came from the front, and Steward Feng barely opened his eyes.

I saw that the young man gradually moved away with the wind and snow step by step, and although the pace was slow, it was very steady.

For a while, it was impossible to tell whether it was the boy who walked into the snow, or whether the wind and snow were chasing him.

————

"What do you think of this boy?" On horseback, the pink-clothed girl who was gradually walking away asked.

"Hmmm......"

The maid groaned and blurted out: "Black! ”

"Black?"

"It's so dark! It's like digging out of a coal pile. ”

The girl shook her head: "I'm asking you, what's so special about him?" ”

"Isn't it special to be so dark?" The maid laughed and asked, "Miss, why are you so interested in a fishing boy, could it be that you have taken a fancy to him?" ”

But seeing that the girl in pink was not ashamed, she smiled and said: "A generation of legendary heroines and sword gods Ning Xitao, walking the rivers and lakes, will inevitably encounter many strange things. One day, the female sword god went out and met a black charcoal boy, and at a glance she saw that this child's bones were strange, not a thing in the pool. The female sword god cherished her talents, and took it as a follower and clicked a move and a half with her fingers. Unexpectedly, ten years later, this black charcoal boy became famous and shined in the rivers and lakes with a move and a half pointed out by Ning Nuxia. How, isn't it a good story for this story to circulate? ”

"Miss, you better read less of these nonsense scripts, if the uncle knows about me, I will be trained again."

"Dead girl, I'm in the mood of a woman again, look at the sword!"
