Life in the wild is actually not so good, eating and sleeping in the open is a trivial matter, in the case of the white bone cavalry chasing and killing humans everywhere, plus the corpses are rotting and breeding a large number of mosquitoes and flies, which makes the Thousand Islands Plain more and more anxious.

In a cave on an island in the north, Jiang Qiu roasted wild boar meat and sat cross-legged, seemingly hesitant to eat, while in front of him was a python that was no more than the length of his arm, and a sickle that he rarely took out to see the sun.

This was given to him by Master You, but Jiang Qiu still can't find the trick to use it.

It is rumored that there are a total of seven demon soldiers, each of which represents a complete inheritance, and even a soul is housed in it, which is a place that human technology cannot achieve for the time being.

Gently tapping the surface of the scythe, unlike the crisp sound of the rainy night, this scythe will not have the slightest tremor, and it can't feel the weight in his hand, and even Yang Ye, the third seat of the ice gate, will be moved by it, as for why the rainy night appeared in the hands of Shen Youchu, the little princess of the ice gate, Jiang Qiu didn't know.

After subduing a python and becoming a shadow beast, Jiang Qiu cautiously did not choose to inherit the python's memory, but on the condition of retaining all the python's memories, he subdued the python and named it Xiaohua, which made the wolf dog Xiao Hei, who had already understood humanity, feel a sense of sadness and pity, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the naming level of his master.

Liu Ye pasted some mud on her face under Jiang Qiu's teaching, and she didn't deliberately wash her clothes, her long hair reached her waist, and the pink pajamas that originally belonged to her had already turned black and brown, Liu Ye, a pampered girl, didn't care about this for a long time, and ate pork in a big gulp.

"Master, aren't you hungry?"

Jiang Qiu closed his eyes and recuperated, thinking in his heart how to use the ability of Xiaohua's python, and said with a slight smile: "You can't eat it alone, if you fill your stomach and one thigh, it's enough." ”

Liu Ye squatted beside the campfire, reaching out and quietly tapping the sickle from time to time, "Master, can I ask you a question?" ”

"Absolutely."

"I remember when I first entered Shattered Slope City, we met Shen Youchu on the road, she is from the Ice Gate, she will naturally protect me, didn't you plan to send the three of us over at the beginning? Why did you suddenly change your mind? ”

Jiang Qiu said: "There are too many people around her, you are the safest in Tianyang City, but here, I don't dare to bet on you if she is willing to protect you." ”

Of course, Jiang Qiu's gaze was always wandering on the rainy night, and he was even considering whether to return the humiliation that Yang Ye had caused him to Shen Youchu.

After a period of time, while teaching those children, Jiang Qiu took up his old profession as a hunter, making money in exchange for living supplies, and inquiring about the whereabouts of the beast, so as to formulate the current travel route.

Liu Ye deliberately said: "Hey, Master, if you sent me out at that time, I could eat meat as much as I want, and drink as much as I want, definitely not like being a thief like now." ”

Jiang Qiu began to learn Taoist meditation, his hands were folded on his abdomen, his breath was long, and with every breath, a wisp of green smoke would come out from under his nose, with the fragrance of orchids permeating the cave, the vigilant little black sniffed his nose, and couldn't help lying on the ground, his face full of intoxication.

When this special energy was first recognized by human beings, it was once defined as a terrorist force, an inhuman force, and even once forbidden by various countries.

Liu Ye became bolder, stood up and held the sickle in his hand, learning the speed of the action wheel in the TV series, "Master, when will you be able to rise to the fourth level?" Can you be promoted to the third level of the university? It's not that I lied to you, that girl named Qin Huaiyang is really a genius among geniuses, and Shen Youchu can't compare to her at all. ”

"There is no point in comparison, today I am better than yesterday, today I look forward to tomorrow, it is enough." In this regard, Jiang Qiu is surprisingly lazy, and he doesn't have the heart to make a long or short fortune with others, but he only wants revenge.

"No, my dad said, the so-called genius does not accumulate this statement, but achieves the ultimate in a certain aspect."

Jiang Qiu turned a deaf ear.

Liu Ye snorted, raised the sickle above his head, and swung it at the stone the size of a human head on the side.

There was no sound, but Liu Ye was speechless for a while, and his whole arm began to ache.

Liu Ye threw it aside angrily, "Master, your demon soldier is not worthy of his name, and he can't cut a single stone." ”

Jiang Qiu took the sickle, but it was just the simplest vertical chop, and he split the stone that Liu Ye couldn't cut alive or dead, "You can't use it." ”

There is no harm if there is no comparison, and Liu Ye, whose self-esteem has been hit a little, came to Xiao Hei's side, touched its fluffy hair, and hoped: "Master, I also want to raise a dog." ”

Jiang Qiu hesitated, "You can't even take care of yourself, and you still want to raise a dog?" ”

This is a complete blow to Liu Ye, this little girl seems to want to prove that she is not a waste of life, cut off a large piece of pork and roast it on the fire, trying to prove that her barbecue level is still very good.

The relationship between the two seems to be getting more and more complicated, the little girl still looks down on Jiang Qiu, but she is very dependent, trusting more and more and even constantly talking about the willow demon and contrasting with it, her father rarely takes care of her, so here in Jiang Qiu, who takes care of herself, the more Liu Ye mentions the willow demon, in fact, she thinks about Jiang Qiu's goodness, and even regrets the first time they met in a bar, and Jiang Qiu should not be humiliated.

Thinking that this kind of strangeness should not appear in my mind, but the lingering memories forget that the pork is still roasting in my hands.

When Liu Ye came back to his senses, looked at the already charred pork in his hand, subconsciously raised his hand, his mind was full of the word Jiang Qiu, and blurted out, "Jiang Qiu...... A taste? ”

Jiang Qiu took it, took a small bite, and spit out his blackened tongue, "It's so bitter." ”

Liu Ye's face was red by the firelight, staring at Jiang Qiu's tongue, and whispered sorry, I don't know if it was for the burnt meat, or the apology for humiliating Jiang Qiu when they met for the first time, Jiang Qiu smiled and said: "Sleep when you're full, I'm going to hunt the second beast tomorrow, our schedule is very tight, and the money left for Qingjiu is only enough to spend a week, so wishing Yucao is very important to us." ”

"Go to bed early, I'll keep vigil tonight."

Liu Ye blinked, Jiang Qiu patted his side, and said with a smile: "Sleep here, be warm." ”

Liu Ye nodded, leaning back to Jiang Qiu, wearing a coat with Jiang Qiu's scent, wolf dogs and crows guarded the entrance of the cave and the sky, Jiang Qiu stayed by her side, rubbing her head, "Don't worry, with me, I will definitely let you get out of here alive, this is my contract." ”

"Got it, Master."

......

......

Everything in the world is actually afraid of comparison.

There is jealousy with comparison, and then it will lead to hatred, the little princess of Bingmen only lived in Broken Slope City for a few days, and then went out of the city, and there was no sense of inappropriateness in sleeping in the open air, if it weren't for a bunch of Tianyang students behind her, it would be quite quiet, but when she stepped on the children's island, she saw a clean and bloodless school standing here, and a tall and plump extremely beautiful woman who didn't talk sat in front of the school gate, seriously teaching the children to read and write.

is also a woman, and she is also surrounded by stars and moons, for some reason, this little princess who aims to reach the highest peak of the sorcerer has a sense of failure, and her cold face loses to a gentle and peaceful face.

There were no wrinkles on the tall woman's face, no visible imprint of time on her body, and the ravages of the bone cavalry did not stop the woman from teaching and educating people.

Bingmen is a pure and bloody violent institution, which sounds extremely mysterious, and has absorbed countless geniuses over the decades, and in recent years, there has been Yang Ye, a genius who has risen to one of the chiefs, and Yang Ye's only disciple, Shen Youchu, who has emerged, but he is already a third-level magician in his early twenties, and has a tendency to become the youngest second-level magician.

The visitors of Tianyang City are just a group of tourists who come and go, enduring the difficult conditions and the charging mode of corpse dogs, leaving them here for the night, eating a few meals, and then the children will take advantage of the sunny weather to help their teacher and 'mother' clean up, and Shen Youchu is using the blackboard in the classroom to teach the students knowledge and survival methods.

Anyway, at the request of Shen Youchu, the students had to train in the Thousand Islands Plain and kill the enemy, which was also agreed by Liu Yangming, the ruler of Shattered Slope City, but when Shen Youchu and Liu Ji of the Daomen walked into the same room, there would be more or less one or two envious glances, as well as looking at the tall woman who had been listening and leaning against the door frame.

Among the top ten beauties in Tianyang City, the most famous is Liu Ye, the baby girl of the willow demon, but she is a college student, but she is especially better than the demon girl Li Rongrong, who is a mature woman, followed by Shen Youchu, who has the fastest promotion speed in Bingmen.

The room was clean and tidy, and it could be seen that the teacher here was cleaning very carefully, Shen Youchu took out an envelope and looked at it again, and then looked at Liu Ji who pursued him expressionlessly, "You can go out." ”

Although Liu Ji was injured and fell back to the fifth level from a fourth-level magician, it was also rumored that he had lost his heart and did not want to be promoted, at this time he was sketching a picture, and it could be seen that it was a topographical map, "I'm also busy, the wonders and magical creatures here, folk rumors, I'm very interested." ”

Shen Youchu said coldly: "I shouldn't have told you yet, my master has already married me to others. ”

Liu Ji's hand in drawing suddenly froze.

This genius of the Dao Sect was pinned on by everyone, and before meeting Shen Youchu, Liu Ji was known as the first person to cross the level and kill him, and he could be called a battle maniac, and even regarded fighting with the strong as more important than his own life.

After meeting Shen Youchu, Liu Ji saw something that fascinated him more than fighting, and he was willing to give up everything, even falling into the realm.

But he had to admit that Shen Youchu was really beautiful, her eyelashes and eyes were all beautiful, she looked beautiful from any angle, different from Li Rongrong's coquettish lady's temperament, different from Liu Ye's Chu Chu face that I wanted to protect, she was more like a carefully cultivated precious flower.

But such a beauty actually said that she was promised to someone else?

Shen Youchu's good-looking face did not change in any way because of Liu Ji's obsessive and heartbroken expression, and said: "I don't know who it is, but I have another mission here, in terms of interpersonal relationships, we are barely familiar friends, in terms of allegiance, you are a member of the Daomen of Hua Shaoguo, and I am a member of the Bingmen of Tianyang City." ”

Shen Youchu said very seriously, "The bell in the palace is suspected to be a demon soldier, and I want to make it." ”

Liu Ji looked at her quietly and said blankly: "How can you marry someone so casually, do you really like him?" Does he really like you? ”

Shen Youchu shook his head, "I don't care, other than that, I want to send a letter to a man." ”

Liu Ji asked, "Is it the person you are going to marry?" ”

Such a rude and boring question, Shen Youchu didn't bother to answer, just flipped over the envelope, and there was a line of vigorous and arrogant handwriting on it.

[A birthday gift for the little bastard Jiang Qiu. 】

"This is a gift from my master Yang Ye to Jiang Qiu, I don't know what it is, but according to the time, his birthday is around the fifteenth of September, and according to the internal time of the magic circle, it will be in these few days." Shen Youchu said: "I want to find him and give him something, that's it, it's a very simple thing." ”

Liu Ji didn't give up and said: "When this happens, I will be like Yang Ye asking for a marriage and asking him to marry you to me." ”

Shen Youchu said indifferently: "As long as my master agrees, I have no opinion." ”

Liu Ji was even more heartbroken, "What do you think?" ”

"I just want to climb to the highest peak, to stand high in the sky, to stand in the clouds."

"Why?"

"I should have told you."

Liu Ji scratched his head, "I'...... It seems to have forgotten. ”

Shen Youchu told his story without emotion, "Like you, I was born as the hope of family rejuvenation, a weapon to resist Hua Shaoguo, and the biggest bargaining chip for the restoration of the country, so I had to start training when I just learned to speak at the age of one." ”

Shen Youchu took out the skirt knife and made a cut on his index finger, the blood flowed out without the sound of pain, and he couldn't even see any changes in his face, "From one year old to thirteen years old, I have been living in a white house, and I have begun to learn to forget pain, forget emotions, forget my parents, and just remember the task. ”

"One time I tried to resist, and it was the only time I resisted, but I was thrown into the cemetery by my family, and I looked up at the sky by a hole no bigger than a fist, with only three loaves of bread and a bottle of water a day, and I lived in it for almost a year and a half, and almost never saw the sun."

"When Yang Ye rescued me, I hadn't eaten meat for two years, and I hadn't seen the sun, so what I longed for was to stand on the highest place, the highest cloud, and not want to touch the dirty ground, and I didn't want to be thrown into the soil and buried in the cemetery."

"It's the only hope in my life, I don't care about getting married, and I don't care who I have children with."

"If Yang Ye promises me to marry you, then I will marry you, if not, unless you can use a strong way."

Shen Youchu stood by the window and looked up at the night sky, looking at the white clouds that were high above the ground and far from the ground, without a trace of haze, and watched quietly like this.

Liu Ji looked intently at Shen Youchu, who was looking up at the sky, at the Milky Way in her eyes, and remembered something while being silent, "So you can watch a village being slaughtered by cavalry, and you can stand by and watch?" ”

Shen Youchu doesn't care about this accusation, he doesn't care about the flies on the ground, just like the name of the little princess, she has never been in the world, she has always been a god floating in the sky, far away from the world in the deepest part of the palace, "It has nothing to do with me, I just want to be stronger." ”

Liu Ji sighed and said: "But there is a little guy from Bingmen who traveled here with you, and he is only in his early twenties this year, but he died on the way to save the villagers, I think you are like this...... Not good. ”

"I don't know what that junior brother's name is, but the bravery of others, the life and death of others, and even ..... What you like about me, why should I respond to these things? Shen Youchu didn't reply, "I responded to the family, in exchange for painful memories, I don't even know what pain is." ”

Liu Ji tried to reverse the heart of his beloved, "The vast majority of people in the world have nothing to do with you and me, but this world has something to do with us, and we are born in the world and naturally want to repay the world." ”

Shen Youchu's beautiful cheeks did not stir up dust, and said: "Too strong empathy ability is a kind of torture, why do I have to help others if I have the strength?" The scorching sun never cares whether the billions of people on the earth insult or praise, because he is the most dazzling sun, and he deserves to bear everything, and so am I, I will be the sun, I will make you look up, and I will be far away from the turbid world. ”

Liu Ji's eyes drooped slightly, looking at the blood stained by the fighting, and looking at the dirty shoes that were caused by the slaughter of the village just a week ago, "I still like you very much, so I want to change you, I want you to change from the sun to a person in the world." ”

"Because I know it's not your fault, your upbringing caused your character flaws, and love is the strongest and worst curse, I can't bear to give up on you."

The room was quiet and tidy, but a pressure gradually diffused, the scorching temperature pushed the already hot summer day higher, Liu Ji was holding the charcoal in his hand, "You know, I've been stupid all these years, and I don't know what to say." ”

Shen Youchu was not impatient, as if he had given an eviction order, "Then shut up, so as not to fight and cause jokes." ”

Feelings are like this, blindly giving can't be exchanged for sincerity at all, but the party who pays is not only willing, but will also complain that he doesn't give enough and can't impress the other party.

Liu Ji only hated that he couldn't be by Shen Youchu's side when she was a child, otherwise she would not have been made what she is now.

Jiang Qiu didn't know that while the little princess of Bingmen was leading the team to travel, she also had to send a letter for Yang Ye.

Shen Youchu didn't know either, the corpse dog was sitting at the gate of the school, grooming Xiaodou's hair, and from time to time with a slight flick of his fingers, he smashed the white bone cavalry that was close five miles away.

The corpse dog listened to the love and hatred in the house, smiled and squinted, listening to gossip is every woman's favorite, but when she thinks of the future, the corpse dog is always a little disliked.

She, like the wurm beast Min, was already doomed.

Xiaodou raised his head and asked, "Sister, will that brother still come?" ”

The corpse dog shook his head softly and said, "I don't know, he should be very busy, right?" Missed him? ”

Xiaodou shook his head and raised his disabled left hand, compared to the students who came out of Tianyang City, she was thin and stupid, and she couldn't even eat, so she inevitably felt a little inferior, "That brother looks at me very normally, unlike those people who came today, they will always look at me a few times, and then help me carry water and water vegetables with pity." ”

"Huh? Aren't they helping you? ”

Xiaodou shook his head, "Hey, sister, some of the books that my brother gave me say that I can't help, but someone can help me." And mercy is what I could have done, but someone did it for me, I liked the first and didn't like the second. ”

"That's right."

The corpse dog stroked Xiaodou's head, took her into his arms, sang a nursery rhyme softly, and after lulling Xiaodou to sleep, he got up and left.

With one step, the surrounding concrete buildings began to dissipate.

The second step out, the mountains, forests, lakes and seas dissipated, and the world began to turn pale.

The third step out, there is no heaven and no earth, only a ruined palace in the distance, the bronze pillar supports this heaven and earth, on the throne at the bottom of the giant pillar, a figure with his chin on the chin as if he is napping, and as if sleeping.

The corpse dog stopped moving forward and muttered to the throne, "I love this world, I hate this world, just like you, so entangled that I have to ......"

"You can't even compare to the bug you look down on the most."

The corpse dog laughed to himself, "What's the use of scolding you, it's just a shell." ”

On the bronze pillar, black shadows emerged, looking at the tall women, silent and pitying each other.

The palace in the Thousand Islands Plain, the bell rings through the heavens and the earth, sad and resolute, if there are still living people guarding here, you will find that a large number of white bone cavalry did not wander the world, but began to purposefully cut wood, collect iron tools, collect the corpses of humans and beasts, and transport them to the depths of the palace.
