Chapter 04: The Past Is Like Smoke
The lotus lantern went down the glacier river, and was dragged into the palm of his hand by a hand on the opposite bank with spiritual magic, Cen Ge looked thoughtfully at the small word "Xiao" on the wick, and his heart was also mixed.
Cen Qing watched his movements in surprise, according to the custom of the Bai Sect, it is not allowed to pick up the floating lotus lanterns on the glacier at will, which will block the sound of prayer, which is an ominous omen, but when she approached suspiciously and wanted to ask the reason, she followed her brother's gaze and noticed the people on the other side of the glacier, she hurriedly pulled the flying shadow who was still playing on the side back to her side, and lowered her voice: "Brother, they are ...... opposite"
"Well, it doesn't matter." Cen Ge glanced at the two people a hundred meters away again with his peripheral vision, his voice was very indifferent, and it seemed to be bottomless calmly, "Xiao Yibai's ambition is not easy to expose this matter with us, his brother has only come back and hasn't seen us for half a year, don't be nervous, you take Feiying to play elsewhere first." ”
Having said that, Cen Qing nodded her head very nervously, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a small word "Xiao" on the lotus lamp in his hand, she was slightly stunned, and only gasped for a while to react, and couldn't help blurting out: "Xiao...... Could it be, Master's daughter, Yun Xiao? ”
"Hmph." This time, Cen Ge's tone was even more indifferent, if it weren't for the fact that the name written on it was the daughter of the master who was so kind to him, now he would definitely destroy this lotus lamp directly, but as soon as he thought of the past, Cen Ge still sighed and carefully put the lotus lamp back on the water, his bright eyes flashed and dimmed at a faster speed, "Feiyuan has been refusing to interact with neighboring countries since he fell into the sky and falling into the sea, and he is even more repulsive to the point of disgust with outsiders, although his younger brother is taught by Kunlun Mountain in the Central Plains, After all, it is a powerful family living in the imperial capital city, although the Tianzheng Mansion is not as single-handedly covering the sky as Governor Gao, how can it be said that he is also a frequent visitor in the position of the military pavilion master, how can his noble background put his mind on a Central Plains woman? It must be that he has just come back and has not yet gotten used to it, and in a year and a half, he will no longer have such stupid thoughts, which will ruin his future and even implicate the entire family. ”
"The Tianzheng Mansion has been destroyed, where is there any family." Cen Qing muttered a few words dissatisfiedly, but the look in Cen Ge's eyes was worried and helpless, "Yes, so it is even more impossible for him to be tempted by a Central Plains woman, and forget her as soon as possible, which is good for everyone." ”
"Master's daughter won't like that kind of person!" Cen Qing Zhenzhen answered with words, and then lowered his head and wrenched his hands in a weak heart, she didn't know what kind of person Xiao Qianye was, but Tianzheng Mansion was a family of generals, and it was indeed in line with the iron training of "military orders like mountains" that for hundreds of years had carried out many encirclement, suppression, and killing of foreign races.
There are not many exchanges between Feiyuan and the Central Plains, the only port open to the outside world is located in the northernmost north side of the north side of the Yudu City, she is in the south side of the Jialuo territory, so many years of worrying about the external troubles of the Bai Sect belly back to the enemy, she is tired of coping with the fact that she has no chance to go to sea to Kunlun Mountain to see the master, naturally she has not seen the child, but she knew the child's name earlier than anyone else - that year, the master stroked her lower abdomen and gently shook it on the chair like all mothers, and she had several ancient poems of the Central Plains in her hand, After reading for a long time, she couldn't find the right words, until she looked at the snow lake in the apse with clear eyes, and suddenly said to her: "The water is clear and deep...... If it's a girl, let's call it 'Xiao'. ”
The snow lake is actually an artificially dug full moon-shaped lake, and only during the snow lake festival will the sect leader draw out the water of the source of the glacier, which is usually in a dry state, at that time she looked at the snow lake without water, and did not understand why the master suddenly decided on this word.
The brother and sister suddenly raised their eyes and looked at each other in tacit understanding, and some of the memories engraved in their hearts became irrepressibly clear.
They are members of the Ancestral Nights, and although their bloodlines are rare among other races, they are still just playthings that humans can hunt and kill at will.
That year, two powerless and powerless alien children depended on each other, stumbling back to the site of their hometown that no longer exists, it is a very inconspicuous small village located on the Weeping Snow Plateau, the wind and snow buried most of the house, the brother and sister hid in the ruins and held the broken bedding and struggled to resist the increasing wind and snow, just when the two were gradually groggy because of the severe cold, a pair of demonic red pupils suddenly flashed in the dark night, and a snow yasha grinned gloomily, holding a long fork and jumped in front of the defenseless child.
The elder brother instinctively protected her, using his weak body to stop in front of Yuyaksha, while the younger sister hugged him with her eyes closed, even if she was so scared that her whole body trembled, the two still hugged each other tightly and never gave up on each other.
Just when Snow Yasha's halberd was about to pierce her brother's chest, a sharp sword aura flashed in the night, and a light and vigorous figure stepped into the battle like lightning in the blizzard, the long sword in her hand was retracted freely, and she gently forced back the invading Snow Yasha, and then immediately rolled up the two children to protect them behind him, and at the moment of life and death, the sword deflected the angle and directly cut off the monster's hands and took the halberd, Snow Yasha was hit hard by a blow, and was killed by several sword shadows in the wind and snow at the moment of fleeing.
This woman is Yun Qiushui, the female sword fairy of Kunlun Mountain, she lowered her head and showed a smile as warm as jade, like a light that illuminated all the sights of the brother and sister.
The next day, she cleaned up the ruins, not only used the sword array to condense a warm barrier enough to resist the wind and snow, but also caught a few snow rabbits from the outside to make a hot dinner for the two children, they looked at this strange woman nervously and uneasily, different from Qingli's appearance, at this time Yun Qiushui was munching on dry food regardless of the image, and enthusiastically gave them vegetables to eat, her voice was clean and clear, her smile was as warm as the rising sun, her eyes were brighter than the stars, and finally let the two children let down their guard, The three of them sat around in the ice and snow and listened to her tell the story of the Central Plains.
Feiyuan is a country that is extremely discriminatory against foreigners, this is the first time they feel warmth from humans, and since then the two children finally have something to rely on, she found two thin pieces of iron from the ruins and sharpened them into a long sword, patted her chest and volunteered to be their master.
This kind of day lasted for about a month, Yun Qiushui found a water-red unknown flower on the vast snowfield, amazed that such a beautiful flower could be born on such a barren land, during that time all her mind was attracted by that mysterious little flower, and would take time to take care of the flowers every day.
It was at that time that she accidentally bumped into the then sect leader King Garan, that is indeed a man who will be unforgettable, not only has a face that is both rigid and soft, but also has a hot and powerful flame breath all over his body, you must know that the White Sect is a god of aliens, the only condition for being competent as a sect leader is that the bloodline can make the lotus god seat scorching and revealing color, among the more than 100 sect masters recorded in the sect, there are only a handful of people who can make the entire god seat translucent, but King Garan just approached and let the internal fire directly illuminate the entire Thousand Machine Palace!
King Garan is actually just a title, and no one knows the true lineage of that person so far, but he is the second person in the history of the White Sect to illuminate the Thousand Machines Palace, and the first person is the founder of the White Sect and the head of the hundred spirits, Lord Feng Ji.
But at that time, Feng Ji had not appeared for decades, and she didn't care about the affairs of the sect and let it develop, and for the aliens, the bloodline was above all else, so even if the origin was unknown, the disciples at that time also gladly accepted this man as the new sect leader, after the master and the sect leader met and knew each other, the two children were also taken to the White Sect General Altar to learn spells by Aiwu and Wudi, and the same rare alien blood gave them a high status in the alien people's divine religion, as if everything was moving in a good direction, but no one knew- That was where the tragedy began.
Two years later, the most serious civil strife broke out in the history of the White Sect, because the high-ranking sect leader insisted on marrying a Central Plains woman, which was simply a fantasy in the blood-first Bai Sect!
King Jialan was strongly opposed by Wu Yu, the then great secretary, and even some of the patriarchs in the sect who were originally to the sect leader also persuaded him to give up, after two months of stalemate between the two sides, Wu Yu took a group of faithful believers to kneel in front of the lotus throne in the main hall of the Qianji Palace to force each other to die, never expected that the angry King of Jialan not only did not retreat at all, but also put down the cruel words who want to die and stand up, he will be fulfilled one by one!
Wu Yu looked up to the sky and smiled, and then said the last words that still haunt the hearts of the brothers and sisters like a curse - "May I never turn a blind eye after I die, see when the sect leader will regret it, and see when the white sect will die!" ”
King Garan was silent, and the dead silence for just a few seconds seemed as long as a century, and then, step by step, he walked down the lotus throne, the flames burned at the place where he landed at each step, until he walked in front of Wu Yu, who would rather die than give in, the slender and slender fingers were contemptuously clasped on the eyes of the great priest, and the invincible sect leader sneered and agreed to his plea, and directly gouged out his eyes in front of all the disciples and put them on the amber jade on the top of the Thousand Machines Palace, and asked word by word: "Who else wants to see it?" ”
No one answered his question, and the believers who had sworn just now bowed their heads to him and bowed to him, saying the opposite of what they had in their hearts: "I wish the sect leader a hundred years of good harmony and long peace and stability." ”
When Yun Qiushui returned to the White Sect General Altar from Fulong Town, the unprecedented civil strife had been covered up by King Jialan's silent hand covering the world, and the two children looked at the master who knew nothing, and looked at the happy smile on her face when she heard the proposal, and for some reason chose to remain silent at the same time.
Half a year later, the master became pregnant, and before she had time to be happy, her body suddenly took a sharp turn, and she began to have a high fever at the age of two months, and she often fell into a coma when she was three months old, but the sect leader didn't seem to be surprised by this, and even determined to take the master to the imperial capital city for medical treatment. But it was such a coincidence that the eldest princess Mingyu, who was no longer young, fell in love with the sect leader at first sight, and even used her relationship to make an exception for Danzhen Palace to receive the master.
Master's time in Feiyuan is only three years, but she may be the most important foreign woman to the empire in the thousand years since the fall from the sky, it is to save her that the famous Shenyue theft case broke out - the sister of the current Holy Heavenly Emperor, the eldest princess of Mingyu, stole the ancient jade "Shenyue", which has been passed down from generation to generation of the royal family, for the king of Jialan, she was imprisoned, and the king of Jialan and his wife disappeared from then on.
After that, the siblings never saw the sect leader again, and many years later they learned that the master had returned to the Kunlun Mountains in the Central Plains alone, and she gave birth to the child safely, named "Yunxiao".
Fate quietly went towards an unpredictable end, the White Sect entered an extremely dark period because of the disappearance of the sect leader, and the repeated attacks on the main altar by the gods made this century-old god cult even more precarious.
Until five years ago, he picked up a three-year-old girl at the foot of the mountain, and took her back to Qianji Palace out of sympathy.
Cen Ge let out a long sigh of relief, and his long thoughts made his face look a little confused - he didn't know if the sect leader had regretted his original decision, but he had a very strong intuition, and the sentence in Wu Yu's mouth, "Look at when the White Sect will die", should already be within reach.
"Ah Qing, take Feiying to play in a farther place." Cen Ge finally spoke, and he glanced at the other side thoughtfully, Cen Qing said worriedly, "Brother, do you want to ......?"
Cen Ge's face was a little solemn, the moonlight was clear, the lotus lamps on the glacier were like beautiful water lilies, and the water surface reflected the halo that made him uneasy, and finally said his inner worries for the first time: "Well, when we meet for the first time, I always want to test what kind of person Xiao Qianye is, after all, ...... This attack is different from before, Ah Qing, the White Sect may really be defeated, maybe Xiao Yibai is right, people have a chance to change when they are alive, and when they die, there is nothing, and the lives of aliens are much longer than those of humans, maybe we also need to make changes. ”
"Brother......" Cen Qing's eyes instantly turned red, for fear of being detected by Feiying and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Cen Ge stopped by the glacier, stared at the lotus lamp that was drifting farther and farther away, and barely squeezed out a gentle smile for a long time: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon." ”
As he walked up the glacier, the lotus lamp drifted slowly downstream, and no one noticed that another hand silently stirred the breeze and quietly hooked it into the palm of his hand.
