The sword spirit suddenly lowered its height and landed in the middle of the dense grass along the vast plain, Yun Xiao snuggled on his shoulder, felt the wind around him suddenly stopped, and the smell of earth and grass mixed with floating, she rubbed her loose eyes, it seemed that she had slept in this short journey, looked around strangely, and asked, "Why did you suddenly land, won't you be caught up here?"

Xiao Qianye touched her forehead, feeling that her body temperature was still normal, and her frowning brows were only released, he put away the sword spirit and smiled: "You look tired, take a little rest." ”

"I ...... Are you asleep?" Yun Xiao hurriedly calmed herself up, but the look of exhaustion was still clearly written on her face, Xiao Qianye tightened her coat, and simply pulled her to sit on the ground again, nodding, "You can fall asleep standing on the sword spirit, you're tired, right?"

Yun Xiao pinched her cheeks hard, as if this would dissipate her sleepiness a little, and muttered strangely: "I'm so tired, I'm obviously very energetic when I was in the sewer, and I suddenly became sleepy." ”

"When you're tired, just get some sleep. Xiao Qianye knew that it was the consequence of the mixed-race Lingfeng clan taking the initiative to use the breath of the Lingfeng, he gently hugged Yun Xiao in his arms, patted her back gently, and silently looked up at the sky that was about to turn white, and said to himself, "Although the East is mountainous, a vast plain has been formed between the mountains, if there is no city established here, this kind of plain is called 'Star Hanging Field', the grass here is very high, and it is difficult for normal people to hide in it, you can sleep in peace, I will guard it." ”

"Aren't you tired?" Yun Xiao looked up at him slightly, unbuttoned his coat and pulled him into his arms, and said with a smile, "Your clothes were given to the beacon girl, I really can't see it, you also have a time to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!

Xiao Qianye's cheeks were red by her, and she couldn't help but giggle all the time, so she had to let her stuff herself into that coat, Yun Xiao's eyes were purring, but his face was a little surprised, his body was very cold, not at all like the body temperature that a normal person should have, Yun Xiao reached out and touched his face strangely, and then raised his hand flat to catch the falling snow, and said in a low voice: "It's so cold, why is your body colder than snow?"

Xiao Qianye was reminded by her, and he also touched his skin, although it was in the wind and snow, but he didn't feel how cold he was, but his skin was indeed temperatureless, like a living dead.

Before the two of them could figure out what was going on, a faint ball of light suddenly flashed in front of them, and Di Zhong's voice came faintly from inside: "The body is cold, it is the nature of the ancient species. ”

"Ah...... It's you, why did you suddenly come out?" Yun Xiao looked at this inexplicable thing in embarrassment, and couldn't help but reach out and poke it, Di Zhong smiled slightly, and said helplessly, "This is not the Heavenly Realm, the Divine Cracking Technique cannot be maintained, and I am not a person who is good at spells, it is already the limit to be able to talk to you in this form, don't poke it, you have the breath of the Spirit Phoenix on your body, in case it is punctured, I will not be able to condense again." ”

Yun Xiao hurriedly withdrew her hand, and the ball of light gently landed on Xiao Qianye's shoulder, and she could vaguely see a faint shadow that was so vague that it was not human, as if she was also looking up at the sky of the starry field: "The colder your body, the more obvious the power that belongs to the ancient species will be, but this is irreversible, if you feel very cold and uncomfortable, then lean close to her, the breath of the spirit phoenix is one of the few things in this world that can warm the bloodline of the fierce beast." ”

Hearing him say this, Yun Xiao moved to Xiao Qianye's side quietly and hugged him tightly.

"Irreversible......" Xiao Qianye didn't look at him, his eyes were strangely bright, and he gritted his teeth and read these three words from his mouth, Di Zhong paused for a while, and seemed to feel the violent fluctuations in his heart, but comforted: "When he was alive, he had been suppressing the bloodline of the ancient race, so the Xiao clan could be incognito in a place like Feiyuan for so long, but after all, he was dead, and it was only a matter of time before the instinct of the ancient race slowly recovered." ”

"Why did he die?" Xiao Qianye asked inexplicably, and Di Zhong also repeated with a wry smile, "Yes, why did he die?"

The two fell silent at the same time, and looked up at the sky at the same time, Di Zhong's voice became a little ethereal, as if it had passed through tens of thousands of years, becoming ethereal and illusory: "I have been here, a long, long time ago, when Zhen Island was still in the sky, I took Xiao here here, this sky and the plain field, compared with the past, there is not much difference, the reason why it will be called the field of stars is because at sunset and sunrise, you can see the shadows of countless meteors across the sky and fall into the plains. ”

Yun Xiao curiously imagined the picture he described, but unfortunately there was a fine snow under his eyes, and there was not a single star visible in the gradually whitening sky.

"Continue to walk inside, through the Empty Silent Holy Land to the Valley of Confinement, there should be a fairy grass, called the Moon Night Bud, that is one of Qi Qi's favorite things, because the leaves of the Moon Night Bud, in fact, melt in the mouth, but warm, they like to eat that kind of fairy grass, I heard that it can relieve the cold in the blood, so I took Xiao to find it together. ”

Xiao Qianye and Yun Xiao didn't bother him, they just quietly listened to him talk about those vicissitudes of life, and his heart was faintly touched, Di Zhong continued: "But that area is very dangerous, there are nightmare demons infested, and the nightmare demons at that time have not been accepted by Xi Hui, and I know very little about that kind of monsters. ”

He stopped suddenly, as if he was aroused by a distant memory, and couldn't help but sigh a few times: "It's very playful, and when it plays, it suddenly says it's sleepy, and then it sleeps directly in the fairy grass, I thought it was just tired of playing, but it still didn't wake up until the next night, and then I realized that something was wrong, I tried to wake it up with divine power, but found that there was another extremely evil force competing with me......"

"Can the Demon compete with you?" Xiao Qianye blurted out in disbelief, hesitantly tilting his head to look at the ball of light on his shoulder, "That thing is so powerful?"

Di Zhong smiled, his vague figure looked like he was shaking his head helplessly, and continued: "It's not that the demon is so powerful, it's just that I don't know about that kind of monster, Xiao has been unconscious, I can't gamble with its life, so I haven't dared to do it." ”

"Oh......" Xiao Qianye suddenly realized, and the corners of his mouth inexplicably hooked a gentle smile, "You spoil it too much, saying that it is willful and playful, and that is what you are used to." ”

"It's been sleeping, can't wake up, and its body is also being eroded a little bit, you know, that guy has a very thick layer of fur, since the seventh day after it was dreamed by the demon demon, a lot of fur has fallen off, I was very anxious, and even prepared to take it directly back to the heavenly realm to find Xi Hui, when I saw that guy was going bald, I met a person from Dongming. Di Zhong thought about it seriously, and suddenly said with some expectation, "I remember his name, it should be called Shui Mo, a warlock from the neighborhood, who came to pick the fairy grass medicine." ”

"Ink?" Xiao Qianye was startled for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Is it the Divine Guardian of the Valley of Confinement?" Feiyuan has always had rumors, saying that the position of the Divine Guardian was when the twelve gods passed by Zhen Island, and noticed that there were several dangerous places on the island, in order to prevent human beings from going deep into vain to lose their lives, seven divine guards were specially selected to be responsible for guarding the forbidden land, this passing twelve gods...... Could it really be you?"

"Oh yes, he's the god keeper of the Valley of Confinement now, and the god keeper is indeed what I did. Di Zhong then remembered what he had done back then, nodded, and coughed lightly, "He told me that this kind of monster is called the Nightmare Demon, which is a kind of monster that can be dreamed. The monster that steals the dream,It will devour the host's spirit in the dream for its own use,Eventually cause the host to sleep for a long time until death,The demon has been harming the East for many years,Because of its three-body coexistence,As long as the heart of the nightmare is not destroyed,The shape of the nightmare and the sound of the nightmare can be infinitely reborn,And to eliminate the heart of the nightmare,You need to capture the other two bodies at the same time,This special coexistence causes them to be unable to completely kill the monster,The locals have been hiding for a long time,Helpless against it。 "Chase literature

Xiao Qianye frowned, remembering the sound of the nightmare he had seen in the underground crack of the Holy Blind Clan, plus the heart of the nightmare nailed to the bottom of the lake by the ancient dust, and the remaining form of the nightmare was still missing.

"And then?" Yun Xiao was already sleepy, and was aroused by his words, she sat up straight and stared at the ball of light curiously, and asked.

"And now that you know the nature of the monster, it's not very difficult to deal with it. Di Zhong chuckled, gently floated from Xiao Qianye's shoulder and fell into Yun Xiao's hand, and sighed, "It's a pity that I was worried about injuring Xiao by mistake at that time, and I deliberately showed mercy, but I just hit it hard and didn't kill it, and after the demon broke away from its body, I didn't continue to chase and kill, so it escaped by chance, and continued to harm the party." ”

"Heh......" Xiao Qianye held his forehead and laughed, "The demon was let go by you once, and then he let him run away again, should I say that this monster is too lifely, or should I say that your heart is too soft?"

"He must have come back to Zhen Island to hunt down the demons. Di Zhong had already learned what happened in the glacier forest through Xiao Qianye's eyes, although he was puzzled, but he felt that it was reasonable, and he guessed to himself: "He was dreamed by the demon when he was still a fierce beast, and the monster knew his true identity, but he didn't seem to want this matter to be known by others, so he deliberately returned to Zhen Island to chase and kill the monster, leaving the ancient dust to seal the heart of the nightmare, and most of it was for this." ”

"Is it a big fuss?" Xiao Qianye answered lightly, "Gu Chen is much more important than the heart of the nightmare, he is willing to lose it, I really don't understand." ”

"He's always been like that, and I don't understand it. Di Zhong just smiled dotingly, without the slightest reproach, Yun Xiao blinked, gently held the ball of light in his palm to his eyes, and whispered, "No matter how important Gu Chen is, it is just a cold weapon, if you let the Demon find out about the ancient species, then the whole world will know that you are dead, for him, this is the most important thing." ”

Di Zhong thought carefully about her words and took a deep breath: "His thoughts have always been different, maybe this is the difference between humans and fierce beasts, I have never understood him. ”

The ball of light swayed, like a firefly, floating in front of Xiao Qianye, and Zhengse asked, "You also have some memories of him, do you know him?"

Xiao Qianye stared directly at the ball of light, but couldn't respond to that expectation, and said lightly: "All his memories are yours, and since you died, he has no memories left to future generations." ”

"Yes......" Di Zhong smiled and closed his eyes, "I've been thinking about what unsolvable difficulties he has encountered these days, I gave him everything, but he doesn't want to live anymore, with his temperament, he shouldn't take the initiative to give up his life, in the end...... What the hell is going on, I really want to know. ”

"I'd love to know, too. Xiao Qianye took his words, not understanding why he also had a strong curiosity about that fierce beast.

Di Zhong stared at him, but still couldn't help but complain: "You don't look like him." ”

The corners of Xiao Qianye's mouth hooked, and he didn't think about it and asked, "Disappointed you?"

"Not really. Di Zhong sighed, shook it in front of Yun Xiao's eyes, and said with a smile, "It's you, you are very similar to him." ”

"Me?" Yun Xiao pointed at herself, amused and helpless, and retorted, "You said the same last time, I'm also a beautiful girl, where do I look like that kind of beast?"

Emperor Zhong didn't reply again, the sky was already bright, the snow was still falling, and the wind was even colder.

Yun Xiao saw that he didn't speak, so she simply drilled into Xiao Qianye's arms again, touched his skin with her probing hand, and said worriedly: "Is it still cold?" I can use the sword array to draw out the geothermal heat to keep out the cold, but it's just ...... The light of the sword array is too dazzling, maybe it will attract pursuers, is it safe here?"

"It's not safe, don't use it, although the fire won't enter the plains, and the grass can block the sight of the three-winged bird, but the fox is a frequent visitor here. Xiao Qianye directly shook her head and denied her thoughts, pulled her clothes tight, she snuggled up to herself, that unique warmth flowed quietly like a beam of sunshine, which made him can't help but want to hug it tighter, suddenly, his face sank, I don't know if he remembered something, frowned and turned to Di Zhong, and said in a low voice, "Cough, that...... Do you still coexist with me as you look like now?"

"Huh?" Di Zhong looked at him, couldn't help but smile without piercing his careful thoughts, and said lightly, "This appearance is just convenient to talk to you, after all, you don't like me to speak directly in your head, right?" But the essence is the same, just in a different situation, I can still feel everything about you." ”

Xiao Qianye had a cold face and wanted to speak, only to want to hug Yun Xiao's hand subconsciously relaxed, Di Zhong looked at his small movements, and said with a straight smile: "You won't just find out, right? Whether you are holding hands or holding her, I feel the same way as you, so sometimes I will mistake you for myself, after all, I have neither a body nor a soul, just a residual consciousness, you should not be jealous with your consciousness, right?"

Xiao Qianye glared at him angrily, and blurted out impatiently: "You're so annoying." ”

Di Zhong snickered, caught a glimpse of the rapid flush on Yun Xiao's cheeks, and wanted to push him away, but was held in his arms and couldn't move, for a long time, the ball of light moved slightly upward, and the divine power shrouded the two of them in the middle like a thin net, Di Zhong looked at the two people who were leaning on each other, and smiled faintly: "You can also rest well, I'll just guard, are you not feeling tired now?" This is the role of the Heavenly Realm martial arts, but it will take a long, long time to fully master it, don't force yourself." ”

Xiao Qianye nodded, opened his five fingers and grabbed hard, after the battle in the Sea of Dusk, there was indeed an unprecedented power that had been filling his body.

Emperor Zhong said no more, and looked silently into the distant sky, and saw the remnants of a meteor dragging its long tail to the end of the plains—a sight he had seen before, and it was no longer human.
