Of the thirteen states of China, Fengning City belongs to Linzhou, and the whole city is divided into two halves by the river. The north side of the Heming area, and the south boundary is called the egret area. And because the river carries sediment and accumulates in the middle of the river for a long time, it forms a small island, which is called the Huangli area.

It is said that a long time ago, an immortal ascended to the sky on a white crane, and when he ascended to the sky, birds and birds surrounded him for a long time, hence the name of this place.

Yeyu's hometown is in the Bailu district to the south, which is also a slum among the local population. Egret District is divided into two cities, east and west, and the west city is poorer than the east city, so the night metaphor of living in the west city when he was young has seen the warmth and coldness of the world since he was a child.

It's just the presence of a mother that gives Yeyu the only remaining ray of light, so that Yeyu never stops chasing hope even when he is in the dark.

Ye Yu held the back of her head with both hands, her mother was a very gentle person, her voice was soft and glutinous, as if she was afraid of waking someone up.

Mother often took the wooden basin to the river to wash clothes before dawn, and the night Yu family in that era could not afford to buy such high-end goods as washing machines.

The neighbors gave a surprisingly good evaluation of her mother, who was a weak and weak woman in the eyes of others, but raised a son and two daughters in a dim old house in Zhizhu Lane.

Smack

A drop of rain fell on the windshield, and it didn't take long for the torrential rain to pour down.

The closer you get to your destination, the smaller the surrounding houses become.

Cao Tianzhi watched as the rainstorm covered his vision, and although the wipers had been turned on to the maximum, he still couldn't see the road in front of him.

The car still kept moving at a high speed, and no matter how Cao Tianzhi stepped on the brakes, it would be useless.

"Don't worry, drive slowly."

Ye Yu straightened up, gently pressed Cao Tianzhi's right hand with his left hand, which he didn't know how to place, and said slowly.

Night Yu closes his eyes.

I have walked this road countless times.

Mother, please show me my way home.

The car was still speeding away, but there was no more rain in front of me, only endless darkness, and even the roar of the engine disappeared.

"Xiao Yu, your aunt made braised pork today, come to my house for dinner."

"Brother Ayu, don't run so fast, my mother brought me a few buns, I can't finish eating, you can help me eat some."

"Xiao Yu, is soy milk delicious? Yes, that aunt will make you some next time, you have to come and play often. Hey, our family's Xiao Yu is really good at talking, and I don't know which girl can marry our Xiao Yu in the future. ”

"Don't worry about this kid, leave it to me, Poor Dao doesn't dare to pack a ticket to say anything about the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but three meals a day of coarse tea and light rice, Poor Dao can still afford it."

"Dao Chief, my Xiao Yu will trouble you, Xiao Yu, you go to the Dao Chief's house to listen to the Tao Chang's words, you can't cause chaos to others, okay, promise Mom."

Countless voices came from the surroundings, Ye Yu closed his eyes, and two lines of clear tears slipped down silently.

This is an extremely cruel reality, after the Sword Immortal suppressed the demons, the original magic circle was created by the Sword Immortal. The core of the circle is made up of grass and trees in the city, all the way and one house as part of the formation, and the guardian is used as the eye of the formation to suppress the demons, so as to protect the common people in the world.

In the hundreds of years that followed, the war continued, and the tragic situation of cannibalism was staged again and again, and the monks found that whenever the formation was destroyed, the demons would appear again to plague the world, and in order to suppress the demons again, the human race paid a terrible price.

In order to solve this problem, after a heated discussion among the monks, they finally chose to use a solution to this thorny problem.

That is, the city is rubbed on rice paper like the words on jade, the real city is still the city, and the "fake" rubbed is turned into a magic circle.

This move suppressed the demons for two hundred years.

Two hundred years later, people suddenly discovered that when the predecessors were rubbing, due to the interference of various factors, a part of the city was eventually rubbed into the fake.

In other words, the formation still operates according to the formation on the fake, but there are several boundaries in the fake city, which are real cities!

So what should these people do? No one knew, no one dared to dismantle the magic circle and reprint it, and in the end, the person who was in the forgery was sucked clean by the demons and gave his life in the world.

In the eyes of the outside world, the city is still the same city, and there is no gap between the people in the fake and the real city, but it is also a fact that the people in the fake are short-lived.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the five major sects united with strangers to rescue the people in the fakes, but in the end they still returned in vain.

These people are born destined to die.

Fengning City, Egret District, and Zhizhu Lane are the birthplaces of Yeyu, but they are also the only places in the city that are in the fake.

That year, Ye Yu served as a four-star monk in Kyoto, and only heard rumors from the outside world that more than 300 people died in Fengning City overnight.

When Ye Yu rushed home day and night, her mother's body had been covered with a white cloth.

Looking at the more than 300 corpses in the morgue, Ye Yu stood up tremblingly, took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

From a burst of anger, to low sobbing, and finally looking at the vast number of graves, Ye Yu knelt down one by one and kowtowed three times.

That day, Ye Yu knew the truth from Liu Zong. Liu Fang looked at the haggard young man in front of him and wanted to comfort him a few words, but he wanted to remind him not to be rash, but Ye Yu looked at the heavy night and said that he wanted to go to the outside world to see.

Looking at the resolute young man in front of him, it was difficult for Liu Fang to connect him with him many years ago when he was a child.

"Well, I won't interfere in the affairs of your young people." Liu Fang turned his back and lit a cigarette: "I will report to the organization, Ye Yu defected, and I have tried my best to search and arrest him, but to no avail."

After that, Liu Fang took a deep breath of cigarette, and said without giving up: "Do you really want to do this, you have betrayed the country like this, and there is no place for you in the great country of China."

"I don't know." Ye Yu looked tired, and raised his head numbly to look at Liu Zong, "Old Liu, I'm too tired, I'll leave after a night of rest with you." ”

Liu Fang looked at the young man in front of him, there was no trace of brilliance in his eyes, and he couldn't help but have a sour nose when he recalled the young man's vigor when he first met, and there were a little ripples in his heart.

"Sleep, sleep."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu."

Yeyu leaned on the sofa and fell asleep with her head down.

Liu Zong's expression was complicated, and after a while, he still extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette in his hand, and went upstairs to bring a quilt for Ye Yu.

Sleep, child, after this night, you will never sleep well.

Liu Fang draped the quilt on Ye Yu's body, turned around and gently closed the door. Under the moonlight, the crowd was crowded, and the weapons in their hands glittered in the moonlight. Liu Fang lit his cigarette again, and this old man, who had been in the Jiangnan Military Region for 30 years, felt anxious for the first time in his life.

Nuoda Huaxia can't tolerate a child who avenges his mother.

Xiao Yeyu has no mother, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have any elders in the family!

Liu Fang took down the cigarette, looked at the shiny sword and flicked the cigarette ash, and grinned: "Contemptible Liu Zong, fire attribute cultivator, please give me advice."

……

What the children who travel far away miss most is the three meals a day, coarse tea and light rice under their mother's hands, and the jingle of firewood, rice, oil and salt echoes in the hearts of each child, and also implicates the bond between themselves and their families.

Li Xiuzhen stood in the darkness and looked at the two young men quietly.

"Ye Yu, under the tutelage of Lu Yu, the head of the six kings of the six-pointed star, the wolf king, the holder of the sword of the sword immortal fire, the four-star cultivator of the stranger, the only son of the third child of the night family, every title is taken out, it is a well-known existence."

A middle-aged man in a green shirt with a sword on his back walked out behind Li Xiuzhen, looked at the two Ye Yu who were in deep trouble, and said a few words without being salty.

"This is a matter between me and him, and you don't need to interfere." Li Xiuzhen said without looking back.

The middle-aged man laughed, "Then what do you want to do, don't you want to fight your life with your life, a person of age is still living in the past, a six-star cultivator of the alien organization, the next head of the Fengming Sect, made a decision that disappoints people." ”

"I don't need you to remind me of who I am." Li Xiuzhen turned his back and looked directly at the comer, this old cultivator who was highly respected in the stranger and recognized as having the best temper, was a little angry for the first time, "Whether it is a six-star cultivator or the head of the Fengming Sect, can it be worth a human life, or is it that according to the truth of you scholars, human life is valuable, as long as the value is higher, others can be abandoned at will." ”

The middle-aged man also looked gloomy: "Li Xiuzhen! You don't represent yourself, you represent the lives of 6.3 million ordinary people in Fengning City! was pointed at his nose by a hairy boy under the age of thirty and scolded a few words, and he was about to seek death and life? Wouldn't all the guardians of the world have to apologize for their sins! ”

The middle-aged man drew his sword in his hand, his gaze crossed Li Xiuzhen's face and fell on Ye Yu's face, and he said calmly: "You can't do it, I'll see if he is qualified to come and ask you."

Li Xiuzhen looked at the man's resolute gaze, sighed faintly, and turned sideways to get out of the way.

The middle-aged man held a three-foot Qingfeng in his hand and slashed with a sword.

The heavy sword qi like a tide flew towards Ye Yu, but it was suddenly scattered ten steps away from Ye Yu.

The man frowned and muttered, "This can't be."

Next to the car in the rainstorm, there were more than 300 souls of the dead crowded around the car, pushing the car forward slowly.

Yeyu leaned against the car window and called in a low voice: "Mother, I miss you so much."

The rainstorm dissipated, and a ray of light enveloped the car from top to bottom.

"Xiao Yu is good, Mom has been there."

In front of Ye Yu, a woman with a golden light fell from mid-air.

"How could it be...... How could it be ......" The middle-aged man looked at Li Xiuzhen on the side in disbelief, but found that Li Xiuzhen was also stunned to look at the scene in front of him.

Those who have been devoured by demons in the ancient city are not allowed to reincarnate, so they have to wander in the world, and finally there is nothing left that is burned by the yang energy of the world.

That's why ghosts are often bumped into in the world.

"They...... They died voluntarily?! The middle-aged man almost shouted, "How is it possible, how can anyone be willing to give up their chance to live, what are they ...... for?"

"For the sake of the night."

A child suddenly appeared on the roof of the car, and he looked at Li Xiuzhen and the others playfully, and his disdain was overflowing.

"You are the demon who was suppressed in this city, the repentant of the seventy-two demons."

The middle-aged man's hands were bruised, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Li Xiuzhen gently pressed the middle-aged man's shoulder, and at this moment he could no longer hide his decline, because the appearance of regret meant that he had broken through the last line of defense.

After several years of painstaking management, suppressing the development of Xicheng, and weakening the power of demons by operating the Yin and Yang Arrays of the Huangli District and the Crane Ming District, he finally lost to an inconspicuous little person.

Regret sat on the roof of the car, and said with a hippie smile: "Good calculation, as soon as you come, you want to use the quenching fire that your Fengming Sect has inherited since the time of the Sword Immortal to completely burn me to death." How can the land in the Huangli District be as strong as it has been for decades, and why are there so many rich people in it, isn't it caused by you pouring all the soil and water essences that belong to the Egret District into the Huangli District? ”

"The worst you think is nothing more than to blow up the entire East and West City into the sky, burn me to death with a quenching fire, and let the Huangli District take over the position of the Egret District that originally belonged to the Yin and Yang Formation, and then let the formation continue to be maintained. People from the Egret District? Oh, if you have a good heart, you might move them out in advance, but if it's ugly, you'll have to fish with bait. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Li Xiuzhen in disbelief, "What he said is true?" ”

Li Xiuzhen closed his eyes, raised his head and nodded heavily.

"This is not over, Ye Yu's family was implicated by the Ye family, and when his sister died tragically, you didn't even dare to let out a fart as a guardian, and you blurred the memory of Ye Yu afterwards, if it weren't for the fact that you later knew that Ye Yu had Lu Yu's support behind him, I don't believe you wouldn't let Ye Yu disappear completely."

"I feel that I owe someone and can't make up for it, what should I do, it's better to let this person disappear forever, isn't this what you humans do." Repentant grinned: "So, Wang Wan, that is, Yeyu's mother, voluntarily came to me and asked me to take her life to ensure that her children would not be eaten by me to continue to eat away at the few remaining Yang Shou."

Speaking of this, Regret shook his head and said with emotion: "Women are weak, mothers are strong, I never thought that anyone would be willing to give up their hope of living for others, but she is a mother, and she takes what she does for granted." More than 100 families in Zhizhu Lane also took it for granted, and they all came to me and said that they would like not to live in the next life, so that their children would be safe. ”

When the weak woman finally saw herself after trying hundreds of ghost talismans according to the ghost drawing in the book, she was not frightened by her real body and couldn't stand up, but trembled and begged herself to spare her child.

Of course he wouldn't want to, the reserve grain is just like that, one less is one, he asked the woman to prove his determination, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the oil pot on the side and asked her to jump in.

Wang Wan stayed for a long time and didn't move, regretting that she was about to leave when she was bored, but she only heard a pop sound from behind.

Regret stayed where he was, clenched his teeth, and suddenly looked back and said, "Stinky woman! Don't die! ”

……

Wang Wan died quietly in her sleep that day, and when she left, the corners of her mouth were still smiling, and when the morning sun rose again, there was no sound of pounding clothes by the river, and Ye Yu lost her mother at that time.
