Chapter 3: The Rebirth of the Glacial Lake
Yu Zhen fell as quickly as a streamer, and when she was about to fall into the lake, she condensed all her immortal power into the Demon Sword, forming a huge protective qi layer at the tip of the sword, colliding with the surface of the lake, and the crystal splash of water rippled.
She was held upside down on the surface of the lake by this sword aura, and with this force, she turned around cleanly and spun around, flying towards the cliff, and fell unsteadily on the mouth of the cliff, which was less than three feet from the lake. If it weren't for the support of immortal power and sword qi, it would be difficult to survive from such a high cliff, and it might have sunk to the bottom of the lake long ago.
Yu Zhen was a little exhausted, and slowly got up and looked around, this is a secret passage in the cliff, there is nothing but darkness and dampness, she gasps to calm herself, and her grandmother's words before she died have been around her ears.
"Zhen'er, don't feel guilty, everything is a certainty, if you want to atone for your sins, you must live well. You find a way to jump into the ice lake, so that the people of the demon world think that you are dead, only in this way can you escape the pursuit of the demon world, and there is a secret passage left by the ancestors on the cliff under the ice lake, from where you escape. ”
"Now that the phantom spirit is extinguished, the lock demon tower has fallen, and the human life will definitely be ruined. Only by finding the person who can open the holy relics and awaken the jade soul can she get rid of the demon king and reorganize my phantom spirit. The phantom holy relic is the red bead on the phoenix hairpin, which is the blood soul condensation of my phantom ancestor, you must live well and find that person... ”
She remembered her grandmother's last words, she didn't dare to fall down easily, she must get out alive.
She exerted her strength, and her face turned pale. She twisted her face, squeezed out the last bit of immortal magic, lit up the secret passage, dragged her tired body, and walked with difficulty.
She didn't remember how long she had walked, but she felt like she had passed through one fork after another until there was no road ahead. At the end of the road, blocked by a pool of spring water, Yu Zhen sat exhaustively by the spring, the thirsty Yu Zhen turned around and held a handful of water, suddenly her eyes flashed, she put her hand into the center of the water again and read: "This water is not as cold as the water of the ice lake, but a cool and sweet living water, presumably the source of this spring water comes from the outside world." ”
She quickly got up and slowly plunged her feet into the spring, and there was nothing unusual except for a cool feeling that invaded her skin.
Yu Zhen dived into the water and swam in the direction of the water source, and after swimming for a long time, a trace of light penetrated into the water. She swam quickly in the direction of the light. Stretching out his head violently, Yu Zhen poked out of the water and found himself in a valley that was like a paradise, where the green mountains surrounded by majestic peaks, green trees, birds and flowers, and the lake water was crystal clear.
Yu Zhen, who was nervous, finally couldn't support it when he walked to the shore, only to feel that his eyes were dark and he fell down.
The demon king and his entourage stood on top of the cliff and looked at the ice lake under the cliff.
Qinghe said: "Demon King, do you want to send someone down to search." ”
Although Zhan Li is bent on recovering the great cause and unscrupulous means, he is very affectionate in his heart, Tu Liu is brought up by him, how can he not be sad in his heart, who makes him the supreme king, he can only show majesty
The demon king said lightly: "No need, being able to be buried at the bottom of this lake together can be regarded as fulfilling the two of them." ”
Qinghe said: "That phantom relic..."
The demon king sighed with some emotion: "This phantom spirit clan is gone, what is the use of that holy thing." After a moment of contemplation, he said:
"The extermination of this phantom will definitely alarm the Three Realms, you tell those little demons, they have all given me some peace recently. ”
Qinghe: "Yes!"
"You stay and clean up the mess, I'll go back to the demon world first. As he spoke, a burst of silver light vanished.
By the valley river, after a long time, a man in white came, with a handsome face and his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin. A majestic and upright body, a graceful appearance.
The man's name is Lu Zhanfeng, a wandering folk mage, who is good at using spells and magic circles, chasing an evil ghost here a year ago, and finding such a paradise, he decided to practice here.
Zhan Feng stepped forward to look at Yu Zhen who fell to the ground, and Zhan Feng probed Yu Zhen's snort through the veil, and was not surprised in his heart: "There is such an otherworldly woman in the world, why is she here." ”
After pondering for a moment, Zhan Feng picked up Yu Zhen and returned to a simple wooden house, all of which were built by Zhan Feng and cut bamboo little by little. In addition to a simple bed, a table and chairs, on the innermost wall is an altar full of runes, and in front of it is a table full of cinnabar, pen, ink and paper.
After putting Yu Zhen on the bed, Zhan Feng gave Yu Zhen a pulse, Zhan Feng's face changed complicatedly, and Zhan Feng muttered: "Look at her smooth pulse, at least she has been pregnant for more than three months, but her pulse is strange, she is not a mortal woman, what kind of person is she, and how could she faint in this valley." ”
Zhan Feng didn't think much about it, so he quickly turned out the herbs he had dug up on weekdays, and made a pan-fried one. After the medicine was boiled, Yu Zhen hadn't woken up yet, but Yu Zhen's body was too weak, and he had to take the medicine quickly, otherwise the child might not be able to keep it.
Yu Zhen was veiled, he didn't know where to start, in this case, when he took off the veil, Zhan Feng would feel that he was taking advantage of others.
He was embarrassed for a long time and really had no choice, so he found a hollow thin bamboo, put it in his mouth and blew on it and tried it. Wan Wan said helplessly: "Girl, Zhanfeng didn't mean to offend, if you delay it any longer, it will be one corpse and two lives!"
After that, Zhanfeng put the bamboo on Yu Zhen's mouth through the veil, he first took a sip and put it in his mouth, and then blew it into Yu Zhen's mouth through the bamboo, and fed it little by little.
Thanks to Zhanfeng's careful care, Yu Zhen woke up after being in a coma for three days.
Yu Zhen slowly opened his eyes and stared straight up. She sat up suddenly, instinctively touched her veil, and saw that her hands had been neatly bandaged, and she was dazed.
At this time, Zhan Feng came in with the boiled medicine and said:
"Ma'am, are you awake?"
When Yu Zhen heard the footsteps, he immediately took off the phoenix tail on his head, held it in the palm of his hand and hid it behind him, and looked at Zhan Feng vigilantly.
Zhan Feng didn't expect Yu Zhen to not only have a refined temperament, but his eyes were so smart, but his eyes were too cold. Seeing Yu Zhen looking at himself vigilantly, Zhan Feng said lightly:
"Don't worry, madam, your body is fine, just rest for two days. ”
Yu Zhen didn't know why this Zhanfeng screamed one by one, she just stared at Zhanfeng vigilantly and didn't speak, Zhanfeng smiled: "Madam, my name is Lu Zhanfeng, I am a warlock who has traveled here, and I rescued you when I saw my wife faint by the river that day." ”
"Oh, the medicine has been boiled, madam, drink it quickly!"
Yu Zhen saw the medicine in Zhanfeng's hand, as if she remembered something, she stroked her lips with her slender fingers through the scarf, looked at Zhanfeng angrily, and clenched the phoenix tail in her hand again.
Zhan Feng understood Yu Zhen's meaning and said: "Madame, you can rest assured, although I fed you medicine, I have not lifted your veil, but the situation is urgent to protect you and the child in the womb, so I made this decision." Zhan Feng picked up the bamboo pole that fed Yu Zhen medicine and explained.
Listening to Zhanfeng's words, Yu Zhen touched his stomach and looked at Zhanfeng in shock.
Zhan Feng understood for a moment and said, "Oh, ma'am, you don't know yet, you have been pregnant for more than three months. ”
From Yu Zhen's awakening, Zhan Feng finally captured the expression on Yu Zhen's face, that kind of despair, grief and indifference. Anyway, there is no joy of being a mother, Zhan Feng knows that it is better to shut up at this time, but after thinking about it, he is still worried about the child in his womb, and he stepped forward to bring the medicine to Yu Zhen and said, "Madam..."
As soon as Zhan Feng opened his mouth, Yu Zhen looked at Zhan Feng with a vicious look, and Zhan Feng was so frightened that he quickly shut up. Yu Zhen didn't know why Zhan Feng called herself like that, she hated and even hated this name.
Tu Liu is the demon who destroyed his entire clan and put her in a catastrophe, and she was pregnant with his evil seed, isn't this a great irony and joke?
She didn't know why God gave her such a joke, and she was so sad and angry that she knocked out Zhanfeng's medicine bowl. Zhan Feng looked at Yu Zhen blankly, after all, he had traveled to the rivers and lakes for many years, and he roughly understood what was going on, so he immediately changed his words: "Girl, don't get along with yourself, you have to drink this medicine!"
Yu Zhen closed her eyes and a tear fell, she slowly raised her hand, aimed the phoenix tail at her abdomen, and stabbed it towards the abdomen with a horizontal hand.
Fortunately, Zhanfeng reacted quickly enough, grabbed Yu Zhen's hand, and Yu Zhen struggled desperately.
Zhan Feng pleaded excitedly and loudly: "Girl, don't think about it, he is a life! Even if you really don't want to give birth to him, you have to cherish your own life, you will die if you do this." ”
The phrase "cherish your life" touched Yu Zhen, yes! What qualifications does she have to die, the thousands of lives of the entire Phantom Clan were wiped out overnight because of her. Yu Zhen gave up the struggle and smirked coldly.
"That's right, I said that it's better to die than to live, since the child is here, it's fate. Don't worry, I'll go and refill a bowl for you" Zhan Feng said and ran out quickly, and ran in quickly, after all, he was afraid that Yu Zhen would not be able to think about it.
Yu Zhen took the medicine and drank it in one go, Zhan Feng looked happy and said, "You must be hungry, I cooked some porridge in the pot, and I will drink a little later." ”
Yu Zhen nodded, but there was still no expression on his face.
In the days to come, Yu Zhen still refused to speak, and what he wanted to do was a look.
This style of exhibition is very tacit, and I can understand every meaning of Yu Zhen.
Zhanfeng would often go hunting in the mountains to replenish Yu Zhen's body, and Yu Zhen would sometimes go together. But it's also a riverside daze. Yu Zhen's body is getting heavier and heavier, and after dinner, Tu Liu will always say that it is good for the fetus, and coax Yu Zhen to take a walk in the valley, after all, this is the nature of motherhood, and Yu Zhen should respond every time. Since it was only one room, Yu Zhen slept on the bed, and Zhan Feng slept under the eaves of the door by himself. In fact, it is completely possible to cut some bamboo to build one, at first it was because Zhanfeng was afraid that Yu Zhen would not be able to open it, but then it became a habit. Zhan Feng himself couldn't have imagined that guarding a person would become a habit, so no matter how windy or rainy, he still slept at the door. Half a year passed like this
Yu Zhen is not hard-hearted after all, she sees everything in her eyes, how can she not understand the hard work of Zhanfeng. In the severe cold of ice and snow, the wind in the past six months has become a little warm sunshine in her life. She was grateful, even wanting to say "thank you." It's just that she has too much hatred and obsession in her heart. I can't let go of that bit of pride and self-esteem, I can't let go of that bit of defense, and I isolate the whole world.
