In the middle of the night, Jia Lan held the sword in his hand and faced the ruined temple, the cracked walls had already been blackened by the fire, and a small grass grew between the dark cracks, adding a touch of life to the decay. Under the walls was a thick layer of moss, spreading and creeping up the corners. The temple has long been abandoned, the Buddha statue in the temple has been cracked into ashes, and the withered pillars support the few remaining green tiles of the eaves, and the bird's nest under the eaves is empty, losing its only vitality.

There was a "rumbling" sound in my ears, like thunder faintly drifting in the distance, one after another. Behind her stood several elders of the Mountain Ghost Clan, all of whom had come to invite her to leave, and they only dared to follow from a distance, not to approach easily.

In winter, the forest is always silent, and no animal will come out to hunt for food. Jialan stretched out her hand to push open the half-hidden broken door, but after a pause she took it back, even if she went in, she couldn't see anything, and what was once in this temple was now gone. She lowered her head and looked at the sword in her hand in a daze, rubbing the uneven lines on the hilt as if she was thinking about something. She looked up and rubbed her sour eyes, red eyes glistening with tears from unusually exhausted.

She shuffled forward with heavy footsteps, stuck her sword in her hand, slid down with her back against the wall, and sat on the mossy ground beside a small knee-high clump of grass. She sniffed, and the tip of her nose was full of grass, which made her feel at ease.

It's already winter, but the grass in Tongshan is growing against the trend.

Her fault.

Alin hurriedly followed, secretly sat next to Jialan, and carefully observed her expression.

"Jiajun......" Elder Yilan saw her sitting on the ground and closed her eyes, and couldn't help but speak. They saw everything in the mountain viewing mirror in the Fang Palace. As long as she is still around, the spiritual creatures who have opened their minds in the Mountain Ghost Domain will be frantic and uneasy because of the fear of the spiritual power she exudes, and even want to forcibly break out of the barrier.

Elder Ming Qi stopped Yilan and didn't let her get close to Jialan, who seemed to be decadent and messy. "I'm afraid that Jiajun has already fallen into the devil, so don't approach it easily. ”

"Demon, how is it possible!?" Yilan shook his head with wide eyes, "Jiajun, she ......"

"Don't move, the karma on Jiajun's body is too heavy, and we can't get close. ”

Yilan realized that Jialan's body was full of dark spiritual power, she originally thought it was a black dress, but when the wind blew Jialan's sleeves, she saw a touch of blue.

The cold wind was blowing, the sound of "rustling" came, and the snow began to fall in the dark sky, and it will fall soon after, this is the first snow of the year, and it is a little late. Jialan seemed to be awakened by the voice, and looked up in confusion, and a faint smile appeared on her pale face when she realized what it was, but it quickly disappeared. She seemed to fall into some kind of memory, and said, "Snow." ”

Alin couldn't stand the cold wind, and shrank at the base of the wall and shivered vigorously. She is the spirit of the maple tree, she is still young, and she is most afraid of the cold. Alin looked at Jialan with a pleading gaze, expecting Jialan to see her, but Jialan was completely caught up in her own world and didn't notice her at all.

Alin sobbed aggrievedly, firstly because of the cold, and secondly because Jialan had been like this for ten years, and he would kill people every time he saw them, which was undoubtedly the enemy of the entire Terran race, and the Terran had already reorganized the army to encircle and suppress Jialan. On the way here, they encountered more than a dozen assassinations, and each time Jialan would kill mercilessly, and did not stop until the killings were gone. Jialan is very strong, and even though it looks like it is about to fall like rotten wood, she can always use that sword to fight her way out.

Jialan looked very terrifying when she killed someone, and Alin was timid and always didn't dare to look at her, but she didn't dare to leave Jialan. She didn't dare to disturb Jialan, afraid that she would suddenly go crazy again. In the past two years, Alin has always tried to bring Jialan to Tongshan, but he has never succeeded.

A month ago, Jialan seemed to suddenly wake up, and it seemed that she had fallen deeper into the devil, and no one could enter her eyes, but she kept walking in the direction of Tongshan. Alin has been following Jialan since a hundred years ago, when Jialan was very gentle and took care of her everywhere, although Jialan was always reluctant to admit that Alin was her god, but Alin was still willing to follow her.

"God. As soon as she opened her mouth, Alin couldn't help crying, tears kept pouring out of her eyes, and her throat seemed to be choked with something that made her unable to open her mouth. The sadness in the heart of the "god ......" was surging because of this word, and she cried while calling for Jialan. She hadn't called Jialan like that for a long time, and Jialan always stayed away from her when she was abnormal, and didn't let her get close.

If Jialan doesn't get better, then at least let the mountain gods know that they're back. Alin knew that Jialan had always been obsessed with Tongshan, and maybe the mountain god was a ray of life. But...... Alin turned his head to look at the mountain ghost elders who had been in a wait-and-see state. The mountain ghosts have been following them since they entered Tongshan and not allowing them to enter the mountain ghost domain, so Jialan and Alin can't meet the mountain god.

Alin thought that he would be momentarily awake when he arrived at Tongshan Jialan, but Jialan's chaotic appearance was no different from before, let alone going to see the mountain god.

Jialan suddenly came back to her senses, staggered to her feet, and walked towards several elders, who were all scattered when they saw this, their brows furrowed, and their weapons clenched with expressions of death.

A gust of wind blew, and Jialan staggered by, only to realize that Jialan didn't look at them.

Jia Lan pulled out the sword inserted into the soil, and in an instant, the cold air overflowed, blowing open the hair covering her cheeks, and her red eyes were bloody, and she was extremely excited. She walked past the elders again and muttered, "Someone is coming, I'll kill them before I come." Wait until I kill them all...... Just come back......"

"God!" Alin panicked, if they killed people in front of the mountain ghosts, they wouldn't even be able to stay in Tongshan.

Alin cried and crawled towards Jialan, she looked at Jialan's distant back and shouted: "Tongshan has arrived, please come to your senses! ”

Sober, Jialan thinks she's always been sober, she knows what she's doing, what she wants or doesn't want. She knew that she had to clench the cold light sword in her hand and kill all those who had taken everything from her and still wouldn't let her have a good time, the Terrans had already fought with her, and so did she.

The mountain ghost only thought that she killed people because she was crazy, but I don't know why she became like this, yes, everyone who knows the truth is dead. The word "god", she didn't dare to take it, she was not a god for a long time, oh no, it should be said that she was never a god, and the title of god was just a means for the mountain ghost to deceive her.

From the moment she entered Tong Mountain, the army of the Terran clan had gathered many Boundary Breaking Monks outside the mountain to break the barrier of Tong Mountain, and those elders should have known the purpose of the Terran before they came to drive her away. In fact, she didn't have to rush, she would clean up those eyesore, and she wouldn't go into the mountain ghost domain, she just wanted to stay in that temple and get a good night's sleep.

She was so tired, she couldn't count how many years, she kept walking, she kept fighting, she kept looking ahead and couldn't turn back. Even if she can turn back, she doesn't want to go back, the hatred for the human race has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, straight to the soul, either you die, or I die.

When Alin arrived, she saw a fire erupting and corpses burning, and Jialan stood in the flames and raised her sword to cut off the monk's head, and her feet were full of human corpses, and blood flowed and soaked the whole land. The black qi on Jialan's body became even thicker, almost engulfing her.

Arin's eyes widened, and he looked at Jialan like Shura in horror. She seemed to wake up to the fact that the god standing in front of her was no longer the god she knew, and her god was long dead.

Jialan sensed something and turned her head. There was still blood splashing on her face, and the flesh and blood in her right eye were blurred, and there was a dagger inserted, and the blade was completely submerged, and only half of the hilt was still exposed, so you can imagine how much force the person used at that time.

Arin gasped, tears poured out uncontrollably, she only felt that her mind was blank, her legs were weak, her ears were buzzing, and she couldn't hear anything clearly.

In the past, no matter how embarrassed Jialan was, she would not let people's blood stick to herself, and she had never suffered such an injury, she was really scared, afraid that Jialan would die, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. Alin stumbled towards Jialan, wiping her tears with her sleeves, she didn't want Jialan to die.

Jialan saw Alin running towards her, and suddenly smiled. With the sword still in her hand, she opened her arms to greet Arin, and her slightly cool, thin body crashed into her arms.

Alin's height just reached her chest, it was really immature, Alin cried very sadly, Alin loved to cry in memory, but he had never cried in her arms like now. Jialan smiled softly and tightened her arms, holding Alin tightly in her arms. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of white* floating down, and she looked up, and the silver snow under the firelight fell on her blood-stained face, drifting into her eyes, slightly cool. She stroked Arin's hair and smiled as softly as she had been years ago.

"You gave it to me from him, and now I have to give it back to him. Jialan leaned into Alin's ear and said softly.

Jialan grabbed Arin's shoulders and pushed her away, meeting her stunned gaze. Jialan smiled, drew her cold light sword, wiped the blood from the sword with her sleeve, and turned to leave. Alin fell to her knees holding her wound, blue ice crystals began to spread from the wound to all sides, her gaze gradually drifted, and the last picture she saw in front of her was still Jialan's back alone.

Jialan slowly walked back to the temple with heavy steps, the mountain ghost elder had already left, and Alin would also be taken back to the mountain ghost domain. Now, she doesn't have to worry about anything. Her body has long been overdrawn and can't support it for long. The blood spread all the way along her footsteps, and her gaze remained calm and unwavering.

Hundreds of years later

"Offer, when will my eyes grow?"

“...... Dedicated?"

Footsteps sounded, and a pair of hands grabbed her by the back collar and lifted her into the air.

The woman carefully examined her face, opened her mouth, and a cold and hoarse voice sounded.

"I don't know, you can ask him when the baby spoon comes. ”

Jia Lan had just woken up from the debris on the ground, her tiny body glowing with a light green light. She looked up, and there was only a small pink mouth on her bare head. The little hand pulled the hem of the woman's skirt, and she opened her mouth and shouted: "Jade, jade, want, want." ”

The priestess grabbed her little feet and lifted her upside down, then grabbed her hand and pulled the hem of her skirt out of her hand.

"Open your mouth. ”

Jialan's hands hung in the air, and she obediently opened her mouth. The woman pinched her chin and looked inside, and from her point of view, she could clearly see the blue gums, and the small teeth in them had just popped up. She stretched out her fingers and touched them, her teeth were cold, and she nodded:

"Well, it's good-looking. ”

Jialan was embraced into a blazing embrace, and she was scorching in pain.

"Dedication, dedication, scalding, scalding. She struggled and kicked her limbs, desperate to get out of the hot embrace.

"Well, got it. The hoarse voice carried a hint of helplessness, carefully putting her down.

"What are you doing in such a hurry to grow up?" the female offering stroked her small fleshy nose that had just grown and had not yet formed, and lay beside her.

"I don't know, I guess I'm going to do something. Jialan said uncertainly.

"What's the matter?" the woman took out a jade-colored stone from her bosom and stuffed it into her mouth. She smashed her mouth twice, spit out the stone and held it in her two small hands, and inhaled the aura on it in small mouths.

"What do you remember?"

"No, just feeling. I think I can do it as long as I grow up. Well, maybe I'll be able to remember more things when I'm older. In this way, I can talk to you about the world outside the stars, and the world outside the stars must be a bright world, unlike here, there is no light at all. She pursed her lips and swallowed the stone in one gulp.

The woman's eyes were calm, and there was a cold light in her golden eyes. She took her into her arms, and the heat instantly wrapped her tight. She gasped for breath, and her face instantly turned red. But at this time, Jialan didn't push the female sacrifice away even if she was hot from the heat.

"Your eyes haven't grown, how do you know that there really isn't light here?" the female sacrifice hugged her for a moment and then immediately let go, so as not to burn her still immature body.

She thought for a while and didn't understand, so she simply twisted her face angrily and said, "Anyway, I just know." ”

The woman looked at her quietly for a moment, then put her hand over her eyes. The part of the eyes has no facial features, it is the most tender place, and now she is so naked that the palm of her hand is hot, and she immediately screams that she is going to take away the hand of the female offerer.

The woman smiled, and the light in her eyes softened a lot. In fact, she didn't hate Xinghai, on the contrary, she felt that this place was very comfortable. But Jialan didn't think so, she felt that Xinghai was a cage that imprisoned the freedom of the two of them.

She desperately wants to go out and see the outside world, which is why she is so eager to devour the cold stone and want to grow up.

"Jialan, although I haven't seen anything in the world, I don't see the light of day in this sea of stars. But what I know is that your body is an ancient jade. Ancient Hanyu is a rare divine jade in ten thousand years, you have your own way of living, your own reason for existence, and the gods will not forget you like this. ”

They're just waiting.

Nuxian looked at her, hoping she would understand. At this time, all she can do is to tell Jialan as much as she knows, during this period of shaping, the help of the baby spoon plays a major role, but her presence is also essential.

The female offering is like a mother, helping her to bring her into the world, while the baby spoon is like a father, teaching her the basics.

The female offering didn't know much, and the baby spoon didn't allow her to stay in the sea of stars when she taught Jialan, so most of Jialan's affairs were judgments and guesses she made based on what she had heard and seen in the past.

"They asked me to feed you with the cold stones at the bottom of the Tianhe River, and the stones at the bottom of the Tianhe River are extremely cold, and only I can get them. Xinghai is the best place for you to grow up right now...... There must be someone waiting for you outside. ”

Jialan put down the stone in her hand and looked depressed.

"They are waiting for me just to take advantage of me. ”

The female sacrifice turned over and sat up, touched her bare head, lowered her eyes and whispered: "God will trade, disdain to use it." You should know that one day you will be out. ”

"Dedication, let's go out together!"

Sensing that the Nuxian was about to get up and leave, Jialan staggered to her feet and shouted at the Nuxian. "Let's leave the sea of stars together!"

The nuxian looked back at her, and Jialan fell to the ground and groped and crawled helplessly. She tried to go over and help her up, but hesitated for a moment, and then lowered her outstretched hand again.

The female sacrifice crossed Jialan to look at the dark sea of stars behind her, and the black star stone could be faintly seen moving slowly at an extremely slow speed as far as her eyes could see.

"Dedication!" Jia Lan was a little panicked, the sea of stars was silent, and what she was most afraid of was the lifeless silence.

The woman suddenly stopped talking, which made her a little inexplicably scared before she had grown eyes.

"I'm here. The woman came back to her senses and took Jialan's hand and helped her to let go before letting go.

"We all need to grow. ”

"Yes, we all need to grow. ”

"We're trapped in this little world and we've never seen the outside world. You once said that I was originally a whole spirit, but for some reason I suddenly disappeared after spending three days in the sea of stars.

I don't know my past, you don't know why you exist, we are all fatherless and motherless spirits, and we can only choose to be passive before we grow up. Jialan fumbled to take the woman's hand, but due to the limited range of movement, she only touched one stone chip.

"But, when we grow old enough, we can rebel against the gods who are at our mercy!"

"At the mercy of that? That's a new word. The nu was curious about how Jialan's idea came from.

"They are gods. God has never been at our mercy. She never felt at God's mercy. On the contrary, she always has a sense of purpose. Like Jialan, there is an idea that something must be done in the future.

“...... Don't interject!" Jialan was angry, waving her little lotus arm to hit her.

When the woman saw this, she did not speak again.

The air was silent for a few seconds, and they looked at each other without saying a word.

It was Jialan who broke this atmosphere first and alleviated the embarrassment between the two spirits.

"I remember that Baby Spoon said earlier that they were called gods, gods who were in charge of all things. We...... Does it belong to all things?" asked Jialan. If they and their maidens are also one of all things, then it is reasonable for them to be supervised......

In this case, wouldn't they even have the qualifications to struggle? Thinking of this, Jialan was a little unwilling.

"I don't know. It's just that I always feel that ...... woman wants to say something and stops, and I don't know what to say."

"What do you always think?"

"You're not you, I'm not me. After holding it for a long time, the woman looked at her lightly, the small lump of flesh overlapped with the woman in blue in her memory, and she separated violently as soon as she touched it. Lingering memories lingered in her mind, making her feel in a trance.

Jialan was stunned for a moment, pouted and said angrily: "I offer you to say something I don't understand!"

What are you not you I am not me, how can I not be me!

Jialan turned her back to the woman, she was angry, she didn't want to touch the heat of the woman.

After a while, Jialan heard the female sacrifice sigh softly, and she quickly covered her ears.

Jialan understood that the sigh of the female sacrifice was a reminder to her, to remind her not to play stupid.

They have always felt that there are often memories in their minds that do not belong to them. More or less, vague, although not really, but it does exist. And the gods in the memory exist in the outside world, where there is light and all things, unlike here there are only dark and black star stones.

"Maybe one day we will all leave the sea of stars. The maid took Jialan's hand and forced her to turn around. She looked at Jialan, with a hint of softness in her cold eyes.

Only the two worlds of living beings made them understand each other, and she knew that Jialan was afraid, and Jialan was once very afraid of the dark world she described to her, and she was afraid that she would stay in the sea of stars and not be able to get out.

Jialan seems to want to go out more, but she just wants to live well, and even she can't figure out why.

Nuxian is different from Jialan, she has lived in an environment even worse than the sea of stars since she was born, compared to this, she has nothing to fear. She clearly knew that if Jialan had been afraid of the environment in which she lived, Jialan would not be able to transform successfully.

"There was once a god who said to me that one day I would leave the dark Yanggu and one day I would walk in the sun. So I'm here a hundred years later. Although there is no light here like Yanggu, at least it will not be full of dead air all day long. They took me out and never said a word to me, and I didn't know what I could do to them.

On the day I entered the Sea of Stars, I met the God Emperor, and he said that on the day the Star Sea Spark was rekindled, he would personally take me out......

You see, Jialan, we have never been forsaken spirits. The voice of the female sacrifice was neither sad nor joyful, and she looked calmly ahead, as if she was explaining a very ordinary matter.

She wanted Jialan to understand that the sea of stars was not their end. But Jialan's idea of being expelled and abandoned seems to be deep-rooted, and no matter what the nu Xian says, it is useless.

"Offering ......" Jialan turned her head and hugged the female sacrifice violently, burying her head in her arms. Even if a small face is hot and red, he refuses to let go.

She understands what Nuxian said, what she fears is not that she can't get out, what she really fears in her heart is not even her own, fear has always existed, but she still can't remember what she is afraid of.

"What should I do, I want to cry......" Jialan said sullenly.

What is crying? What is crying? Nuxian searched in her mind, but the amount of information in her mind was really lacking, so she had to follow Jialan's words to coax her.

"Then you can cry. ”

"But my eyes haven't grown yet......"

“......”
