Chapter 1: The First Encounter in the Pursuit
The kingdom of Yu is 1,500 years old.
The scorching sun of Mengxia brought a few clouds to come, making everything in the world seem to be no longer shallow.
The breeze withered a few flowers, letting them drift towards a forest in the territory of Nayo Country.
......
But before the flowers could land, more and more dark clouds began to gather in the sky above the forest at the destination. It didn't take long for the whole forest to turn from green to a cold darkness, and the rain began to fallβ
"Woo-ha...... Woo Ha ...... "At first, the sound of such rapid breathing was accompanied by the sound of raindrops gradually falling from the sky, and it sounded faintly from a distance.
Suddenly, a low thunderclap appeared with a dazzling and tragic white light, dispelling the darkness for a short time, and only then did I find a figure running desperately in this forest.
Long white hair, the figure of a seven or eight-year-old girl appeared in the rain together.
It's just that her face is full of mud, covering her facial features, but a pair of blood-colored eyes are extraordinarily bright, and the stubbornness and resoluteness in them are even more visible.
"Stop!
A group of figures with a glowing sword in their hands appeared next.
"Run...... You have to run fast......"
At this time, the rain became heavier and heavier, but the little girl's breathing became more and more rapid because of the injury, and the bright red liquid flowing from the wound also fell along her fingers, and brightly colored splashes fell on the waterlogged ground.
I don't know how long it took, but fortunately there was a dense bush in front of her, which seemed to be a hiding place for her while the sky was covered by dark clouds.
"What about Demon Cultivator?" asked a man in black angrily.
"I don't know, I just saw it in this direction, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye?" replied a man behind him.
So, the man at the front sneered and said, "I don't believe I can't catch her!" and then began to wave the sword in his hand continuously, cutting off the surrounding branches.
Of course, several other immortal cultivators also followed him one after another.
It's been a long time, and it's getting closer.
The little girl's eyes widened, and she looked closely at the pair of black boots that appeared in her sight, which made her hand covering her mouth and nose leave no gap, her face flushed, and then curled up to the minimum.
"Hey, it doesn't seem to be here, I don't have any aura of demon cultivation at all!" said the immortal cultivator who came to the place where the little girl was close at hand.
And he only needs to wave the sword in his hand one more time, and he will be able to find the little girl.
This made the little girl close her eyes and not dare to face it, and her heart was beating as if it was about to explode.
"Then let's look in that direction!"
With that, the footsteps and words of the group of immortal cultivators gradually moved away.
"Huh...... Hahh......"
The little girl could finally let go of her hand, and in an instant air poured in, filling her body. She seemed lucky to have escaped again.
In a moment, she forced her already shaky knees to stand up. After all, it's better to get ready to leave here right away.
But the rain was still falling, and the thunder and lightning were still roaring.
"Bang!"
In the next second, she fell again, but not because she had no strength, but because someone ...... attacked her.
The blood in her abdomen burst through the air in a gorgeous track.
"-Huh?"
But because the swift attack was coming from behind, she had no time to see who had attacked her.
"Hey, this demon cultivator is really easy to deceive?! Fortunately, we didn't stupidly go to the whole bush, otherwise we would have to die of exhaustion......"
After the owner of the voice finished speaking, he stepped on the wound in the little girl's abdomen with great interest.
"Ah, so they didn't leave? to fool me?"
Hearing this, the little girl suddenly realized. But I don't know if it was because of the excessive blood loss, her eyes began to darken a little, and her throat seemed to be blocked by pain and scalding, and she couldn't make any sound.
"If it weren't for the fact that she could only hunt for a few hours a day, and she could cover her demonic aura, she would have been caught a long time ago......"
"I heard that she is one of the very few demon cultivators who have survived in the past few days, and she has also killed several immortal cultivators with traps?! β
......
The group of immortal cultivators said to the little girl in a mocking tone.
And the little girl thought to herself: "If I don't die this time, I will definitely make this group of immortal cultivators pay the price." β
Just thinking about it, she couldn't stand up anymore, and even the strength to try to stand seemed to be exhausted, tears were about to slip from her eyes, and her heart was gradually shrouded in despair.
Her life may have ended there.
"I'm really going to die...... That's fine...... Running away all the time...... Hunted down by immortal cultivators...... Days like this...... Don't!"
Just when she was about to abandon everything, when the cold sword was about to slash through her neckβ
"That's it......" as the words rang out.
Whether it was the sword that was about to fall, or the light of lightning in the sky, they all stopped when this sentence was about to be finished.
However, in this stagnant time, there is a figure with a multicolored ghost face, dressed in white, which is approaching step by step.
Stretching out his white hand, he flicked his finger at the sword that was already stationary and slashed at the little girl.
"Collapse!"
The sword began to shatter into fine crumbs from where his fingers touched, floating in the air that had stopped flowing.
"That's it!"
Then, this low, languid voice reached the ears of everyone present, tapping on the eardrums.
At the same time, everything moved again, only to be different again, because the little girl could live, and life did not end there.
Such an accident made the little girl forget her previous situation and unconsciously became a little nervous. Both mentally and physically, it was as if they were overwhelmed by the presence of this man who suddenly broke in.
The same tension was conveyed to those few immortal cultivators.
On closer inspection, a circular circle of light shrouded the immortal man, bouncing the rain away.
should also be an immortal cultivator, and not an ordinary immortal cultivator.
The realm of immortal cultivators is generally divided into five realms: Qi training, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, and Shenhua, and each of these major realms is divided into small realms, the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage.
There are all kinds of legends about the way of cultivating immortals, which are uneven and widely spread, but the so-called immortals have a few noses and eyes, and no one has ever seen them, but they just listen to them and make people yearn for them.
"You..... Who are you?" asked one of the immortal cultivators, slurring.
"....." the man did not answer.
To everyone's disbelief, he gently picked up the dirty, demonic little girl and began to use spells to heal her wounds.
After a few immortal cultivators quietly glanced at each other, they said, "Why does Your Excellency want to help a demon cultivator!"
"Who am I going to save, and what is your business?!" replied the man.
Hearing this, those immortal cultivators were shocked by this momentum and were speechless.
"What should I do, it looks like I can't beat it?!"
"But he doesn't seem to have a sword?"
Their hearts are still stirring.
"This little girl, I'll protect her! If you want to do it, just try! I can beat you to the ground without a sword. β
The man said disdainfully, as if he had seen through their psychology. And this man can say these words so confidently because he is already in the early stage of transforming into a god, and he has experienced a heavenly thunder tribulation, and he is an immortal.
"No, this is a demon cultivator that we immortal cultivators have been chasing for several days, how can we let it go easily!" The black-clothed immortal cultivator drew his sword and pointed at Bai Jun, who was about to leave.
"You are also worthy of being called an immortal cultivator?!" the man said in a shuddering tone.
The next moment, a dinging sound sounded, the sword of the man in black fell to the ground, and the smell of blood spread, and everyone was shocked when they saw it: "What's wrong with your hand!"
Hearing this, the man in black lowered his head consciously, but what he saw was his hand holding the sword, which was lying on the muddy ground at the moment.
"Ahhhhh He let out a cry of pain and fell to his knees. "My hand!
"Self-defeating. I advise you not to keep up. β
With that, the man in white sneered, and then turned around with the little girl in his arms, leaving the few immortal cultivators behind him with panicked expressions whispering.
The little girl's vision began to flicker and disappear under the warm healing and extreme exhaustion of her body.
It wasn't until the end of her consciousness that she began to have a dream, and what happened in the dream-
After Pangu opened the world, his essence, qi, and gods composed everything in this world, so the creatures called "people" were created, and then they began to ask for immortals, and finally learned to introduce qi into the body, that qi is the aura that flows between all things, which is the practice of qi in the realm of cultivating immortals.
And then slowly formed, groping for other realms. But in this process, people are divided into different destinies, immortal path, demon path, and humanity.
Subsequently, two more countries rose, and for thousands of years, the Yu Kingdom was the one supported by the immortal cultivators, and it was the stronger side. Yingguo is the side that is secretly supported by demon cultivators, and it is the weaker side.
She was born in the country of Ying, her mother is an ordinary person, and her father is a demon cultivator.
Her physical growth is slow due to blood, but her mind is still growing normally.
She has been cursed by a group of immortal cultivators since she was a child, and a group of demon cultivators have issued blessings.
......
The memory of reality, called reality, was profoundly and intensely presented in her dreams.
Even as she struggled and moaned, soaked with sweat and tears streaming from the corners of her eyes...... Such a painful little girl suddenly felt that her body began to lighten, and the cruelty in her dream gradually dissipated.
- The reason is the hand.
Someone, holding her hand.
Whether it's a warm touch or that gentle feeling...... It all made her feel less uncomfortable.
After a long time, as soon as she opened her eyes from the nightmare, she closed her eyes again because the sun burned her pupils and she felt uncomfortable.
But. "You woke up and woke up, why did you close your eyes again?"
A voice spoke to her.
For this reason, the little girl suddenly opened her eyes, and she couldn't care about anything else, so she stepped aside and shrank back.
Her eyes were filled with the face of a man.
Dressed in white and black-haired, with bright eyes and bright teeth, standing up with a slender figure, his clothes and hair are fluttering, untied and untied, slightly frivolous, the sunlight exposed by the door behind him flows on his skin, and his eyes are like colorful glass.
But it's also a bit of a loner.
After a few seconds, the man took a few steps back with a friendly, sincere smile, signaling that he would not approach for the time being.
The little girl, too, opened her round eyes and began to look around.
A statue of an immortal encroached on spider silk and dust, a blackened tribute on a crumbling table, straw everywhere, and a puddle of ......?
When I looked up, I saw that there was a hole in the roof of the temple, and I could see the clear blue sky and the birds flying by from time to time.
It seems that this is a deserted temple, and it has become a resting place for people who pass by, and it is not a dungeon, or a water dungeon or anything like that.
The little girl's constricted body gradually relaxed, but ......
"Are you a demon cultivator?"
The word that came out of the man's mouth made her nervous again, and she pursed her mouth and her eyes lit up with wariness.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, you see......" Before the words fell, the man picked up the mask on the side and put it on his face. "I'm the one who saved you yesterday?!"
"The one who saved me?...... Then are you an immortal cultivator, why did you save me?" the little girl asked with some fear.
"I don't know?"
Although the man said this, from the moment he saw the little girl, an unknown special emotion burst out in his heart, as if he was familiar. And when he saw that the little girl was about to be killed, a wave of anger churned in his heart, and before he could react, his body had already acted on its own.
βοΌοΌοΌβ
As soon as the little girl heard the man say so vaguely, she immediately resumed her previous posture.
This made the man quickly take off his mask, looked at the little girl with sincere eyes, and said: "I have been shopping and traveling down the mountain these days, but I didn't expect to meet a large group of adult men who are actually bullying a little girl...... Fortunately, you have a special physique, which can cover up the aura of your demon cultivation......"
He talked endlessly, and the little girl felt completely different from the high-spirited look she had when she rescued her yesterday, but the words conveyed an inexplicable sense of peace of mind to her.
For a long time, she listened quietly, and at the same time, she couldn't help but carefully observe the man's expression and movements, and after a long time, her expression became a little sluggish.
"You're so good-looking. β
finally subconsciously said such a sentence, and an awkward atmosphere spread between the two.
"What's your name? My name is Bai Junqian, just call me Junqian. It seems to be ...... You can't call it that. β
The man scratched his head and stiffly shifted the subject.
"My name is Ling...... ......The little girl also seemed a little embarrassed.
So much so that he forgot to be vigilant and said his real name.
Then, in order to continue to heal Lingxi, Jun Qian stayed with her in this temple for a whole day. In the process, although Lingxi was still a little vigilant, after seeing Jun Qian's smile, he relaxed his vigilance a little.
After a long time, in a quiet silence of mutual acquiescence, the blue-white light that shrouded Jun Qian's body gradually began to fade, and Lingxi's injuries seemed to be healed, and even the wounds of the old wounds in the past disappeared, and the white skin returned to its original state.
"How is it? Is there anything else uncomfortable?" Bai Junqian asked.
"......" Lingxi shook his head silently.
"If you want to say that there are really many wounds on your body, large and small all over your body, and you are so young, you can imagine what ...... you suffered before"
Lingxi listened with some wavering eyes. Immediately unable to suppress the sudden drowsiness, she opened her mouth and yawned, and then rudely wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and secretly stretched her waist.
At this time, the evening sky outside the house was already sinking orange, and the moving clouds seemed to tell the end of the day.
"Do you want to sleep, then sleep! To be honest, I didn't expect me to save you, maybe it's because the two of us are destined, right?" Jun Qian said softly.
Hearing this, although Lingxi did not respond, he nodded and took these words to heart. and the delicate jade pendant dangling in front of her eyes, she also remembered it.
After a while, she closed her eyes in peace of mind, allowing uncontrollable sleepiness to invade her consciousness.
Bai Junqian looked at her and picked her up again as before.
The difference is......
