Chapter 5: Drifting
"The two flowers only bloom once in a thousand years, will Chiyan wait quietly for me to bloom?"
"I waited until the flowers bloomed, but why did I see tears in your eyes?"
The naΓ―ve and simple person who was once affectionate and sexual, only for a flower to bloom once, but will fall for the rest of his life, and burn out a sincere heart with his life is the fire god Chiyan, one of the five yuan gods.
At the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, the power of the five elements of chaos gradually divided, each forming a life soul spirit, the five elements of the gods should be born at the right time, the five gods first came to the world, with divine power, but they did not know their respective missions, and the spiritual power contained in the bodies of the five gods was not fully awakened.
Among the five gods, only the water god was born in the demon world, and the fire god Chiyan was born when Bi Fang came to the world, the hell evil fire raged in the world, Bi Fang deliberately introduced the evil fire spirit into the body of the fire god, fortunately the fire god was born with a simple heart, so the evil fire has not been able to find a chance, with the increasing improvement of the fire god's cultivation, the evil fire was finally suppressed, but even if the evil fire god is destroyed, the evil spirit will gather the evil qi of the world and hell for a long time, the evil spirit will be condensed and reborn, the fire god Chiyan in order to prevent the evil fire from harming the world again, the evil fire original god has been sealed in the body.
That year, the jade crown flowers by the Yaoshui River bloomed particularly beautifully, blooming under the moon, blooming the beauty that should not exist in this world, perhaps it was so beautiful that the world could not tolerate it, but one night was blooming, but the next day it was full of withering, the petals fell, and the color also changed from beautiful jade white to sad yellow.
A pale blue figure stood beside the flower tree by the Yaoshui River, quietly watching its decaying face, this tree has been through wind and frost for thousands of years, the roots of the tree stretch to the demon world, but the flowers bloom in the mortal world, for some reason suddenly the vitality is dim, she tried all kinds of methods, the jade crown flower tree is just silent, she has to accompany it, watching it go through the last journey of life.
It happened to be passing by the Yaoshui River, and the curiosity in his eyes made him stop his eyes on this person and a tree. Strange people, standing motionless, as if listening patiently; A strange tree, with all the petals falling off, and no leaves left on the branches.
After a moment's pause, he decided to leave, perhaps he shouldn't disturb the tranquility of this heart-to-heart intersection and break this silent tacit understanding. Suddenly, a light rain drifted in the clear and cloudless sky, and some inexplicable emotion surged in the hearts of the person who had turned around and was about to leave, and he looked back at her, she was still motionless in the rain.
"She seems to be very unhappy."
The thought flashed in her mind, and the life marks on Chiyan's forehead loomed, and half a drop of rain suddenly disappeared around her, and an invisible barrier blocked the rain in another world, and the rain evaporated invisibly as soon as it touched it.
She realized something, the moment they looked at each other, Chi Yan found that there was a puddle of autumn water in her eyes, the rain was like her sad tears, Chi Yan had a feeling that she had done something wrong, so she had to show an embarrassing smile.
The stranger was actually smiling at herself, and when she looked at the people around her, it was clear that he was keeping the rain out, but his smirk made it clear to her that he was just out of kindness and had nothing else to do.
She wiped away the tears from her eyes, and the rain in the sky disappeared in an instant, and he wondered in his heart: "Could it be ...... The rain was really tears in her eyes......"
"How do you know how to spell? You are not mortal. β
"I'm just a ...... A mortal who knows magic. β
"You lie, how can a mortal have such a powerful spiritual power in his body."
"I ......" Chi Yan was speechless for a while, he was not used to lying.
"Thank you for sheltering me from the rain."
"You're welcome ......"
She set her eyes on the bare tree and sighed deeply: "It seems that Jade Mian has made up her mind and does not want to live alone anymore, Drifting Miao can understand your feelings, but Drifting Miao is really reluctant to let you go." β
The jade crown was still silent, and Drifting Miao sat down with her hands and knees leaning on the jade crown tree, "Can you sit with me?" β
"Me?"
"Is there anyone else around here?"
"Oh!" Chi Yan walked to the jade crown tree and sat down, under this dull atmosphere, Chi Yan didn't know what to say, so he could only follow silently.
"Don't you know what to say? Then sit back and listen to me. β
Although Chi Yan was surprised that this woman actually knew what she was thinking, she still smiled and nodded very cooperatively.
"The jade crown flower tree that grows by the Yaoshui River was originally male and female, but a thunderstorm made the female pearl burn into ashes, the demon has practiced for two thousand years, and the merits can still be ranked in the immortal class, but a tree must have thousands of years of cultivation to cultivate the spirit of the demon, and before obtaining the essence, it has to accept the test from the heavens, if it is struck by the thunder, everything will be wasted."
"Male and female corona flowers and trees accompany each other day and night, get along day and night, originally agreed to practice together, and one day can be reborn and cultivate fairy roots. They originally had no quarrel with the world and no worldly feelings, but this nightmare made everything nothing, so the male plant was disheartened, and opened a prosperous life overnight, and used his life to hold the most splendid funeral for the female pearl. β
After listening to Chi Yan, he knew that this woman was crying for such a poignant love, although he had never shed tears, and he couldn't shed tears, but at this moment his heart was like a vast ocean, and there was an inexplicable emotion surging.
Chiyan was silent for a moment, and Zhiwu said, "But...... In this case, the male plant is treacherous. β
"Treachery?" Drifting Miao looked at him with wide eyes, she couldn't allow others to say bad things about Jade Crown.
"If Xiongzhu gives up his life like this, he will violate their original agreement and give in to fate...... So ....."
Chi Yan originally wanted to say that the death of the male plant was just a sacrifice in vain, but fortunately, he reacted in time and hurriedly stopped without saying anything.
Drifting Miao was surprised when she heard such short and straightforward words: "Aren't this kid's words just the many words I said in a roundabout way?" It was only because he was afraid that the male plant would be even more sad because of this, so he said it relatively tactfully. β
"Treachery...... Yield ......"
Drifting Miao didn't notice the subtle changes in the jade crown flower tree, she leaned her chin on her arm: "I was born in the demon world, born in the season when the jade crown flower tree blooms, when I walked out of the demon world from the Yaoshui River, the first thing I saw was the jade crown flower, the flower bloomed two trees, I never thought that there could be such a beautiful existence in this world, and I stayed under the flower tree for a lot of time after that, and it was because of the jade crown flower that I began to be nostalgic for the mortal world, but no matter where I was, I would return to the Yaoshui River when the jade crown flower bloomed." In this way, we became good friends who talked about everything, but now the jade crown flower tree is alone, and even the male jade crown is leaving me, although I can understand his feelings, but I really can't bear to ......"
Chi Yan didn't know how to comfort her, seeing that the sky was becoming gloomy again, and the sky seemed to be raining again, Chi Yan was even more sure that this rain was the tears in her eyes.
"Isn't it...... If you shed tears, it will rain? β
Drifting Miao raised her head and said in a somewhat choked voice: "Yu Mian once said that he likes rainy days the most, but now that the rain is falling on him, he is no longer conscious. β
Drifting Miao couldn't suppress the tears in her eyes anymore, and cried loudly, and the raindrops gradually became bigger, pouring down in a moment.
It was the first time for Chi Yan to enjoy the taste of being wet in the rain so "heartily", this feeling that he had never felt before made him very uncomfortable, but he knew that he couldn't dissuade Drifting Miao at this time, and he hoped that her heart would be a little more comfortable after her emotions were vented, so he just sat quietly beside Drifting Miao, letting the rain blur his vision and mess his thoughts.
In the rain, a green leaf fell from the jade crown flower tree, and the color of life flashed in front of Miao's eyes, "Is it? Drifting Miao held back her tears, the sky suddenly cleared, she turned around, green leaves actually grew on the originally bare branches of the Jade Crown Flower Tree, he was alive, she was ecstatic and wanted to ask Chi Yan to share the joy in her heart at the moment, but only the air was touched by her fingertips, and Drifting Miao found that he fell to the ground.
She wanted to help him up, but as soon as her fingers touched his body, she felt like she was burning, and Drifting Miao quickly retracted her hand, why was his body so hot? That's not the temperature of a fever, it's a burning force.
The water droplets falling from the leaves of the jade crown turned into water vapor and disappeared in mid-air, and Drifting Miao found that his body was covered with a layer of faint red light, and there was a bright red mark on his forehead, and there was a similar mark on her forehead, but the shape and color were different, could he be a demon like himself, but he did not have the familiar demon breath on his body. Drifting knew that if the mark on his forehead appeared, it would only mean that he was using spiritual power, or that he could not control spiritual power.
"What should I do? Looking at his situation, it seems that his body is full of fire spiritual power, and my spiritual power comes from water, so it is incompatible with water and fire, and I don't know if he is worried about his life if he continues like this? β
"Chi Yan, have you ever heard that when the power of the Hell Evil Fire and the Bright Light Divine Fire converge, it will be the time to destroy the heavens and the earth, and now that my evil fire spirit has been controlled by you, why not use this power to turn the heavens and the earth into your palms?"
Chi Yan, who had passed out in a coma, was when his strength was weak, and the evil fire spirit that was sealed in his body wanted to take advantage of his lack of consciousness to drain his will and control his life and soul.
Fortunately, the rain stopped in time, Chi Yan woke up instantly, the life marks on his forehead disappeared, he opened his eyes, and this glance condensed into eternity in an instant. There were no tears in her eyes, but they were full of watery tenderness; The lips are not opened, but they are full of smiles; The jade cheeks were fragrant with two pieces of peach, and the eyebrows were even more skinny, and she was looking at herself with wide eyes, and her cheeks suddenly burned into red clouds.
"Are you awake?"
"Hmmm......"
"What's your name?"
"Red ...... Red Flame. β
"Why such a strange name?"
Chi Yan propped himself up with his hands: "When I came to this world, I was in a sea of fire, and my name was taken by an elder. β
"A sea of fire? What kind of place is that, only fire? β
"It is the hottest place in the Six Realms, and it is not only fire, but in the sea of fire there are beautiful bright light flowers, fireworks and butterflies flying everywhere, and golden elf trees all over the body, and below the sea of fire is the never-ending hell fire, and the elder said that the hellish fire is the shadow abandoned by the bright light divine fire."
"No wonder you have such a powerful fire spiritual power in your body, it turns out that you came out of the sea of fire, and I am the opposite of you......"
Drifting Miao pointed to the Yaoshui River with her finger, "When I came to this world, it brought disaster to the world, the water of the Yaoshui River overflowed the surrounding villages overnight, many houses were submerged, many places were not harvested, and many people's lives were swallowed up by the water, not only by the Yaoshui River, the flood in the world that year was raging, and the corpses were all over the wilderness......" Speaking of this, Drifting Miao's heart became extremely heavy, she always thought that it was her sin.
"That's not your fault......"
"No, you were born on earth, and I ...... Born in the demon world, demons, is a disaster. β
"It's not like that, people have evil people, demons also have good demons, I was born when Bi Fang came to the world, and the world was ravaged by evil fires everywhere, so I am the same as you, I am a demon, but I believe I am a good demon."
Drifting Miao looked at his sincere face, and suddenly showed a sweet smile: "Thank you." β
Seeing her laugh, Chi Yan also smirked.
Legend has it that when the flowers bloom, you can conclude the most wonderful marriage in the world, you are as innocent as a child, can you understand my mind, I just want to say that I wait for time, because I believe in the existence of miracles, and you are stupid and stupid, obsessed with a moment of flowers, but with a lifetime to exchange, if I know that the ending is like this, I would rather the flowers of the two lives never bloom, so that maybe we can love each other forever.
Legend has it that when the two flowers bloom, one of the flowers will exchange their lives for the other one that will never decay, so there is a lonely flower on Nanzhao Mountain, they bloom for 10,000 years, do not seek fairy fate, just to protect that silent love, I want to turn into one of them, in exchange for your happy existence, I waited for the flower to bloom, but I saw the petals that withered instantly, so it is okay, waiting for the next flower to bloom.
