Chapter 62: A Dream Within a Dream

After all the sounds disappeared, the first thing Xiao Qianye felt was still cold, it was a cold that even Kunlun's cold heart method could not resist, like a maggot on the tarsal bone that penetrated his whole body little by little.

He looked strangely at the cold air coming out of his palm, although since the Night King's battle, there was indeed a strong frozen power in his body, but this was the first time that it was so obvious tonight.

Such a scene seemed to have been seen somewhere, so he pressed his forehead slightly uncomfortably and leaned on the Tianzheng Bird.

In a trance, he seemed to hear the person's voice again, and the emperor in front of him was also leaning on the rocks of the snowfield like this, and the fierce beasts around him were kicked away by him several times.

It's you again...... Xiao Qianye was concentrating, and for a while he couldn't tell whether he was awake or in a dream, only to see the fierce beast pacing around Di Zhong, circling around him, and the people who turned were dazzled, the god of war raised his hand, crackled and gave it a slamming knock on the door of the head, and pushed the fierce beast away with his feet again, he rubbed his eyes that had just woken up, and said unceremoniously: "Don't you lean over, don't you know that you are a cold-blooded animal?

"But my fur is thick, and it will give you shelter from the wind. The beast sat down obediently, shaking its long snow-white hair, and Di Zhong smiled, "It would be quite warm if you took off this fur and made it for me to wear, but it will be cold on you, colder than this rock." ā€

"You can keep the ...... first when I change my moult," the beast put forward its own opinion, making the god of war laugh so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, and refused, "Don't, I'm upset that your fur usually falls off, and it's good if I don't cut it all for you, you still want me to keep it for clothes?" ā€

Qi Qi hung his head, even if it was a fierce beast, it was inevitable that it would be the same as ordinary animals, and he would always change his hair when the season changed, his white hair was long and hard, and he often stuck to his clothes and couldn't shoot it off, Di Zhong nagged many times, but there was no good way to solve it.

Xiao Qianye subconsciously raised his hand and touched the Tianzheng Bird, its body was also cold, close to him.

"Let's get out of here, it's so cold in here. After a long time, Qi Qi took the opportunity to lean over again, it put its head on Di Zhong's knees, and would wagging its tail like a domestic puppy, "I don't care, but you look afraid of the cold!

"If you stay away from me, I won't feel cold, how can the climate of this snowfield be as cold as the cold on your body?" Although Di Zhong was chattering, he was actually extremely gentle with this fierce beast, Qi Qi turned over, stretched his four paws towards the sky, and asked curiously, "You have been traveling so aimlessly, don't you return to the Heavenly Realm?"

"I'm not going back for the time being. Di Zhong replied silently, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and sighed, "I had a little conflict with a fellow practitioner, he is such a proud person, he can't stand any grievances, I'm afraid that if he continues like this, one day he will be trapped by his obsession and fall into the devil's way, he is a very powerful person, even I don't dare to say that I will be able to win him, he is enough to have peace and stability in the heavenly realm for a long time, anyway, he looks at me upset, and I am not happy, so I come out to relax, the sky is so big, there is no harm in walking more." ā€

"You have such a good temper, it must be that he is wrong. Qi Qi didn't ask about the complicated relationship, but came to a conclusion very firmly, "It's been two thousand years since I met you, when did you come out?"

Emperor Zhong suddenly raised his head, how long has he been out? The Heavenly Realm has no concept of time, anyway, every day and every night is a similar life, he walked through many places alone, until two thousand years ago, he picked up this naturally disabled beast on Xiao Qiao Island, and was entangled by it before he was forced to join him.

What is the current situation in the Heavenly Realm? Is Huang Yan still angry with him?

Di Zhong shook his head, feeling very irritated when he thought of these things.

"Anyway, you're walking around aimlessly, why don't we go find Ukiyo-yu!" Qi Qi jumped up happily, and Di Zhong looked at it in surprise and said, "Where did you know about Ukiyo-yu?"

"Just the group of soul-breaking birds I met earlier! Didn't they say that once in a thousand years, ten thousand birds and phoenixes in Ukiyo Island, it seems that the time is almost up, let's look for it now, maybe we can catch up!"

Emperor Zhong did not reply, only the land they had set foot on would enter the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Realm, and the legend of the Ukiyo Island, is only the god realm of birds, the legend has it that there lives there is an immortal bird with flames burning all over the body - the blazing phoenix, is the embodiment of the sun, and is revered as the king of ten thousand birds, every thousand years, the birds of the world will strive to return to the Ukiyo Island, participate in the Ten Thousand Birds Dynasty Phoenix!

However, perhaps due to racial restrictions, the Heavenly Realm has not been able to find out where the Ukiyo Island is, one of his fellow initiates Xi Hui has followed various divine birds many times, but he always lost it inexplicably, so far, the only thing that can be determined is that Ukiyo Island should be directly south of the Heavenly Realm, because every time Xi Hui tries to follow, the birds are flying in that direction.

Even Xi Hui, the Night King who commands all beasts, can't find a place, how can he easily find it if he walks around so casually?

Di Zhong suddenly rolled up his sleeves, there was a faint burn on his left arm, the wound was already very old, it should have been left a long time ago, Qi Qi sniffed in surprise, and asked, "Who was this injured?

"This is what was burned by the blood of the immortal bird. Di Zhong sighed, thinking of the legendary immortal bird Blazing Phoenix, when its wings were fully spread, it could cover the sky and the sun, and the fire spread for thousands of miles, and it could dye the entire sky into a bright fire color, which was also one of the strongest opponents he had encountered so far, and even when the blood of the divine bird dripped on him, the skin was instantly burned and left this scar that could never be healed.

He knew that it was the immortal bird that his fellow practitioner Xi Hui had been looking for, and when it completely retracted its wings, it was only as large as an ordinary blue bird, but it was so fast that he couldn't catch up at all.

"Then, then shall we go to find it?" Qi Qi asked cautiously, Di Zhong frowned and caught a glimpse of the curiosity in the eyes of the fierce beast, and said helplessly, "You can find it if you want, but I have to remind you now, I have a fellow practitioner who has been looking for tens of thousands of years and has not found it, don't be too happy, Ukiyo Island should only allow birds to enter, although you also have a pair of bone wings, you shouldn't be a bird, right?" Qi Qi ...... Count beasts, right?"

"Uh-huh, I'm a beast. The beast licked its paws, not at all unhappy, "As long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter if I can find you or not!" I just don't want you to be so aimless, feeling so lonely and lonely......

At this moment, the God of War Emperor Zhong smiled inadvertently and gently touched the head of the fierce beast.

Indeed, until he met this annoying little guy, he had always been alone, not wanting to return to the heavenly realm, but not knowing where to go.

Xiao Qianye also laughed, not realizing that he had silently left a tear in his closed eyes.

A so-called god of war who was helpless to run away by his companions, and a fierce beast Qiqi who was abandoned by his own clan and was born disabled, their relationship is really good...... It's no wonder that at that time, even if Di Zhong committed suicide, he had to save this only friend, right?

"You're crying. ā€

In a trance, a lonely voice swayed in Xiao Qianye's mind, and he suddenly opened his eyes and found that the sky was already white, the morning star was hanging high, and the dawn was coming.

He stood up with his sword in surprise, it was just a dream for only a few minutes, and a night passed before he knew it!

Who's talking...... He calmly stabilized his emotions, and the voice sounded directly in his head, a strange male voice he had never heard before.

The next moment, an old lady's sharp scream came from the Lala village not far away, Xiao Qianye noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed into the village, at this time Nanjing and Meng Sha had also rushed over, they would be the other people who woke up outside a room, their faces were pale.

"What's going on?" Xiao Qianye squeezed into the courtyard, only to see Grandma Sun slumped to the ground, her crutches were thrown far away, and she raised a finger to the house, unable to speak clearly, "Sasa, Sasa......"

"Cover the sand, go out and stop people. Xiao Qianye's heart sank, Meng Sha quickly turned around and went out, and closed the door of the courtyard deadly, Nan Jing's eyes were staring at the house, congested and red, and he didn't realize that he had bitten his lip, blood dripped down the corner of his mouth to the collar, in the open room, Sasa was lying on the ground, countless black ants came out of his body and retracted, his eyes had been eaten by ants, and even bones could be seen on his shoulders!

Xiao Qianye then remembered the ant in his body, could it be that it was transferred from him last night to this child named Sasa?

"Nanjing, go take care of the old man first. He shook his subordinate and found him dumbfounded, just staring at Sasa's corpse.

"Nanjing!" Xiao Qianye called him again, Nanjing suddenly came back to his senses, gasped for breath, took a few big steps back, and leaned against the courtyard door swayingly, "Send the old lady out, and what about the girl last night?"

"Little Jiu......" Nanjing's mind was in chaos, and he couldn't think calmly at all, so his eyes swept across the courtyard in a panic.

Xiao Qianye walked into the house alone to check, the room was very simple, only a pair of stone tables and chairs, on which there was still the jar of rice wine they drank last night, Sasa was lying in the middle, his clothes were still intact, there were no weapon scars on his body, he should have just been bitten to death by ants.

The group of ants circled around his feet, but did not dare to climb on top of him, he continued to stride towards the back of the house, there was also a bedroom inside, the thin mattress was still messy on the bed, but the girl named Xiao Jiu was missing.

"You, you, it's all your fault!" Granny Sun came in on crutches at some point, and scolded, "It must be because you came and angered the undead of the White Sect......! I—I'll kill you!"

The old man threw at him with a cane, Xiao Qianye caught the crutche, pushed it unceremoniously, and asked sharply: "I angered the undead of the White Sect? Then let those undead come at me! What do they need to kill a five-year-old child to warn you? Do you old things understand that the White Sect is a cult, and it will not protect you at all!"

"You, you still dare to speak wildly, insult the gods, I will kill you!" Granny Sun didn't give up, Xiao Qianye didn't want to really hurt her, he avoided the crutches in annoyance, Grandma Sun didn't stand firm on her feet and fell to the ground all of a sudden, twisted her waist, and couldn't stand up anymore.

"Granny Sun......" Nanjing rushed in from outside, saw Granny Sun moaning in pain, and hurriedly went over to help her up, Xiao Qianye endured her anger and waved her hand, "Get her out for me, and call here again, even if it's an old man, I'm not welcome." ā€

Nanjing seemed to feel the anger of her boss, and hurriedly picked up Grandma Sun and retreated.

At the same time, Xiao Qianye pressed his forehead with a painful expression and sat down directly against the chair in the room.

Splitting headaches...... Is it because you are too angry?

No matter where he is, respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue, even if Grandma Sun insisted on driving him out of Lalazhai last night, he was not the slightest angry, but why did he hear what he just said, he couldn't help but be angry, and even wanted to cut this unreasonable old woman with a knife?

Xiao Qianye bit his lip hard, and the pain of the sword spirit in his palm - the ant crawled out of the bag given to him by the county lord of Haoyue, with the character of the third county lord, he would definitely not do these insidious and cunning things, it must be that the emperor has other people who know the relationship between the county lord and himself, and deliberately use the county lord to design and frame him. Sasa was undoubtedly killed because of himself, and the ant didn't dare to attack him, so he turned to the defenseless child!

Damn it...... Xiao Qianye closed his eyes again, feeling that his head was about to explode, he was helpless against these spells, and finding the eldest brother as soon as possible was the best way at this time.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind and walked out of the courtyard, only to see all the old people outside the courtyard surrounding, staring at him with disgust, and because the Fourth Legion of the White Tiger did not dare to speak disrespectfully to him.

Xiao Qianye didn't care about the disgusted eyes of the group of people, directly found his lieutenant general, and ordered: "Nanjing, you stay to clean up the aftermath, I must go back to Qianji Palace today." ā€

"Young Pavilion Master?" Nan Jing looked at him in disbelief, the cause of Sasa's death was unknown, and Xiao Jiu hadn't found it yet, so the Young Pavilion Master wanted to leave it alone here?

"I shouldn't have any more accidents when I leave......" he added in a low voice, hearing this, Mrs. Li in the crowd couldn't hold back any longer, he stomped on his crutches and scolded, "Listen, he confessed! It's because he came that the undead will warn Lalazhai! Pity Sasa and Xiao Jiu, kindly received him, and in the end he was killed by the undead! You can't go! You have to stay to pay for your life!"

"Yes, you alone are worth the lives of two children, you are not enough to compensate!" Mrs. Fang also accused, and even picked up the wooden bucket on the side of the well with her hands and feet and smashed it over, "Don't think that if you are the master of the military pavilion, your life is more valuable, you have angered the undead, and if you don't pay for your life, the undead will continue to take revenge on Lalazhai!"

The empty sword had already fallen in his palm, Xiao Qianye's brain was buzzing, and he couldn't hear a word of the accusations in the crowd, but he was surrounded by a group of old men and old women, and there was a nameless annoyance in his heart.

"Young Pavilion Master, don't, don't do it!" Nanjing held him down, his whole body trembled, he had seen Xiao Qianye angry, in the early years, the second team of the White Tiger had encountered a group of robbers on the snowfield, they robbed a caravan in Snow City, destroyed a cart of precious life-saving medicine, and brutally killed four doctors, when the second team arrived, the robbers were searching for property on the corpse, and the most precious herbs had already been trampled on, the young pavilion master happened to patrol here, and he was so angry that he cut all the robbers under the sword with a sword, and ordered someone to transport the robbers' bodies to Snow City and hang them on the city wall to make amends!

With such superb swordsmanship, when the young pavilion master mentioned it later, he even said lightly that he was too simple, and he should let them die slower and taste the pain.

With the swordsmanship of the young pavilion master, even if he moves his wrist slightly, where can these old people in Lalazhai bear it?

"Nanjing. Nanjing ...... "He called the lieutenant general twice in a row, his hand holding the sword relaxed slightly, and his spirit was slowly recovering.

Nanjing breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Meng Sha, who hurriedly waved his hand and beckoned his soldiers to drive the group of old people back to the house.

"Are you okay?" Nan Jing looked at him worriedly, feeling that Xiao Qianye's face was terrible pale, and the other party pointed to Sasa's body in the house, "Let's burn it with fire first, burn it carefully, I'll go to the eldest brother later, and let him come over to see if the ants have slipped through the net." ā€

"Ants?" Nan Jing keenly captured the most important information, he noticed the abnormality early in the morning, Jia Luo has a cold climate, there will be no ants of this size, so many appear at once and even bite people to death, there must be a problem!

"Could it be related to the ice corpse last night?" he then asked, feeling that his heart was in his throat, the young pavilion master followed strange things wherever he went, and this time the things must have come for him!

"Probably so. Xiao Qianye didn't deny it, lowered his head and turned the sword spirit in his hand, "Maybe it's safer for me to go back alone, you just stay here to deal with the matter of Lala Village first, and let the White Tiger Team scatter to find the girl named Xiao Jiu, she shouldn't have come out of the village last night, and there are people around the village who have been patrolling, most of them are still in the village, I'm afraid it's already ...... Killed. ā€

Nanjing wondered in his heart, Lalazhai is such a big place, if he is killed, how can he not see people alive and dead without seeing corpses?

"Young Pavilion Master, Nanjing, come and see here!" Meng Sha suddenly shouted in horror, he picked up the bucket that was smashed by Mrs. Fang and wanted to put it back, and casually glanced at the well, only to see a girl floating on the water with a pale face, and her eyes were bitten off, and countless black ants crawled out of her mouth!

"Little Jiu......" Nanjing suddenly lost her voice, and the two worked together to fish up the girl's body from the water, and the corpse that had been soaked overnight was frozen to blue and purple, her abdomen was completely bitten, and her intestines were twisted together and dragged out.

Xiao Qianye took off her coat and covered the girl's body, and couldn't bear to look at it again.

"Xiao Jiu, is it Xiao Jiu!" Granny Sun, who had bent her waist, lay on her window and cried from afar, "Come and show me, is it Xiao Jiu?

As soon as she cried, all the old people who had just been persuaded back to the house by the soldiers ran out again, and a few children who were playing well rushed over and lifted their clothes to check.

Nanjing's tears fell, and the remaining children hugged him, crying profusely.

"Young Pavilion Master, you go first. Meng Sha was afraid that this group of old people would anger him again, so he hurriedly grabbed him and walked out of the village, and Mrs. Li limped after him, scolding while chasing: "Don't go!

Xiao Qianye's eyes flashed with terrifying blue light, and the instinctive shot of the empty sword directly knocked back Mrs. Li and slammed it to the ground!

There was silence all around, and a few old men who were still chirping shut up instantly, the military pavilion master really did it!

"Do you have to suffer a little?" Xiao Qianye said coldly, as if he was a different person, Meng Sha didn't dare to let him stop for a moment, and dragged him desperately to the outside of the village.

"You go back, after the matter here is over, go find the second team to meet. Xiao Qianye shook his head in disgust, and the Tianzheng Bird also spread its wings to greet its master.

"I understand. Meng Sha didn't dare to say anything, after all, he was a high-ranking official in the imperial capital, even if he really killed a few old people in anger, what could he blame him!

The moment the Heavenly Expeditionary Bird flew up, the unfamiliar male voice laughed lightly in his head: "It is worthy of being a descendant of the fierce beast, if it weren't for the suppression of Emperor Zhong's bloodline, Fang would have died at that moment." ā€

"Who are you?" Xiao Qianye silently opened his mouth to talk to the voice in his head, but the other party just sighed slightly and said no more.

"One or two of you, it's really annoying to talk to yourself in my head without permission......" Xiao Qianye was distraught, and at the same time as the ice and fire textures appeared in his eyes, the Heavenly Expedition Bird suddenly turned around and flew towards the east of the snowfield!

He was shocked, the Heavenly Expeditionary Bird had always only listened to his orders, how could he act without permission, and where would he take him?
