The snow is covered and the sky is vast.

Xiao Chuan and Yaoyao, two children, supported each other in this snowfield, sprinting all the way, but they couldn't feel what was happening behind them, the clear sky was even more lonely.

After running for about half a pillar of incense, he stopped outside the city of Najingzhou.

All of them were out of breath and exhausted.

"It should ...... It should be safe. ”

Xiao Chuan sat on the rocks beside the road, ignoring the snow on it, he didn't have half the strength, if it wasn't for the critical situation, I'm afraid he didn't know that he could run so far in one go.

Yaoyao's face was flushed at the moment, and she was even more pitiful.

She was standing on the sidelines, but soon she didn't support anything, so she put one hand on Xiao Chuan's knee and squatted down in front of her. The breath fluctuated, and there was no time to respond to Ogawa.

Long.

The two little people seemed to have just recovered some strength, Xiao Chuan brushed away the snow on the stone with one hand, wiped it vigorously with his sleeve, and beckoned Yaoyao to sit up.

There is no longer a finger between them.

"Just now, were you going to kill yourself?"

Yaoyao leaned on Xiao Chuan's shoulder and asked out loud. At that moment before, she was frightened, thinking that Xiaochuan was going to kill her to survive, but she never thought that she was going to commit suicide and leave the chance of survival to herself.

In her heart, she can't forget the little beggar.

"I don't want to hurt you. ”

Xiao Chuan replied, "Besides, if you are taken by him to practice, wouldn't it be good?" ”

"Not really. ”

Yaoyao retorted suddenly, but then she didn't continue. There are some things that she doesn't dare to say without her father's permission.

After being silent for a long time, he said softly:

"I'm going home. ”

“...... Oh. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Chuan suddenly felt a little lost in his heart, and there was still a lot of reluctance. For a moment, a touch of amazement appeared on his cheeks, but in the end, he smiled reluctantly, "I'll send you home." ”

"When those three people die, I'm not afraid. Yaoyao pursed her lips and said, her expression was a little sad, and in her heart, she was reluctant.

"Xiaochuan, you can go back with me. ”

Suddenly, hearing Yaoyao's request, Xiao Chuan was stunned, and some wanted to agree. In the end, though, he shook his head stubbornly.

Maybe he knows that he and Yaoyao are not from the same world, and this encounter may be the last and only time.

In his young heart, there was suddenly some unwillingness.

"Otherwise, tomorrow you come to the City God Temple, and we will watch the lanterns together. ”

Yaoyao continued to mention. She was indifferent by nature and had a strict upbringing, and she had never played with others like any other child, let alone experienced such a bizarre story. This seemingly dirty, but stubborn and brave little beggar who no one else has, walked into her heart for the first time.

Perhaps, there will never be room for the second.

"Okay. ”

Xiao Chuan answered, revealing a pair of tiger teeth.

"Hee-hee-hee......"

Yaoyao also laughed comfortably for the first time, but it was a beauty that Xiaochuan had never seen before.

......

After watching Yaoyao walk into the city gate, Xiaochuan sat back on the snow. He wanted to insist on sending Yaoyao into the city, but he thought of his identity, a little beggar who was spurned.

In the end, I can only watch like this.

He suddenly gritted his teeth, and a pair of small fists were clenched tightly.

"Practice, I want to practice. ”

Secretly with this thought in mind, he staggered back to his ruined temple step by step. Although he doesn't know what cultivation is, as long as he can not be bullied, he can do anything.

He wanted to continue to stand by Yaoyao's side.

Night comes.

The cold wind blew and swayed the thatch on the roof. In the ruined temple, a broken window closed and creaked, but there was silence.

Ogawa slept under the statue of the god, cushioned with straw, and kept contemplating.

Even forget about the cold and hunger.

Is it really possible to practice without being looked down upon and bullied by others? But how can we practice? Who are the gray-robed old man and the white-clothed man during the day?

Ogawa thought.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, a black gas burst through the door and struck at him.

"Who?"

With an exclamation, Xiao Chuan quickly sat up, but the black qi had already invaded his body in the blink of an eye, and suddenly, a heart-rending pain suddenly hit his heart, only to feel that it was frantically converging somewhere in his body, slowly melting into the flesh and blood.

"If you can do it to yourself, the stumbling block, it seems that you are the son of the demon. ”

In a moment, the gray-robed old man walked into the hall during the day, his eyes fixed on the miserable little beggar on the ground, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's just that compared to the white sun, his gray robe was covered with blood, and one arm was soaked in bright red, and the palm under it could be faintly seen trembling slightly, as if he had been seriously injured.

"Save me, save me......"

Xiao Chuan lay on his back on the straw mat, unable to move in pain, only muttering in his mouth, as if looking forward to the appearance of the man in the day and save him again.

It's a pity that there is only a vast moonlight, a little desolate.

"Hmph. ”

The old man sneered contemptuously, glanced at the statue of Daozu Laojun above, turned around and went out, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Ah......h

Xiao Chuan was left alone in the temple to howl, his consciousness getting weaker and weaker, and finally passed out. Let the black qi flow into his body, and continue to condense and merge into his body somewhere below his lower abdomen.

Hara!

A cold wind swept by, rolling up snow and flying all over the sky.

Suddenly, on the roof, a man in white suddenly appeared, but he was lying on his back on the beam, holding a wine jug in his hand and taking a sip. There was neither anger nor compassion, and he glanced at the old man in the gray robe who had disappeared, and only let the black qi in the temple rage, changing the bones of a child.

more, to change his fate.

A high song, echoing in the lonely night sky.

"The cycle of heaven, the cycle of life and death. ”

"All living beings have a destiny. ”

......

The sun turns the stars.

In the blink of an eye, it was a day and night.

Xiao Chuan woke up from a coma, in a daze, but he couldn't remember what happened just now, and even, in a short period of time, he couldn't recall it anymore.

I only felt a splitting headache and my limbs were sleepy.

Slowly got up, there were no scars on his body, and his pulse and breathing were all normal. Only, I feel that my consciousness is confused, and my body seems to have undergone some kind of training.

I vaguely remember something, but when I think about it, I can't think of anything.

"City God Temple?"

A noun that falls clearly into consciousness.

But is there anything wrong with the temple? No, there should be something very important, and it should be very important.

Suddenly, Xiaochuan rushed out of the ruined temple and ran towards the brightly lit city of Jingzhou.

No matter what it was, but the urgency in his heart was real.

There, it's an appointment!

......

Lantern Festival.

At this moment, the city of Jingzhou is noisy and prosperous, although it is already night, it is still bustling with people, especially in the city god temple, there are crowds of people, and it is very lively.

There are many lanterns and fireworks.

It's a pity that this qiē is so far away.

Yaoyao lay on top of the attic of her home, looking at the lanterns in the sky from afar, feeling aggrieved in her heart. How she wanted to run into the hustle and bustle, and play with her favorite companions. But at this moment, she can't do it, and she can't fulfill the promise she once made.

He should be waiting for himself.

"Yao'er. ”

A noble lady pushed open the door and picked up her daughter from a high stool, as if with a slight reproach, "You child, why do you climb so high." ”

"Mother, I want to play. ”

whispered softly, and Yaoyao wanted to cry even more.

"Yao'er is obedient, I'll take you to play another day. ”

The noble lady carried her daughter to the couch and carefully advised, "At this moment, your father is discussing with the immortal chief in the hall, and the immortal chief will come to teach you the Tao after a while, this is a rare opportunity for a thousand years, you don't have to be willful." ”

Hearing this, Yaoyao pursed her lips, a pair of clear eyes, teary eyes.

The importance of this matter, she also understands in her heart that she has been sensible and obedient since she was a child, and she will not make her father and mother angry.

It is also a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes.

But......

"Mother......

Yaoyao threw herself into her mother's arms and sobbed softly.

......

Night.

The lively scene of the Lantern Festival gradually dispersed with the crowd and fell silent.

In the City God Temple, there are no more figures, and a few abandoned lone lamps are scattered everywhere, emitting a faint glimmer, getting weaker and weaker.

The moonlight is a little bleak.

Suddenly, a small figure came running from afar.

There was a plop, a stumble, and an accidental fall. A few people who had not yet left, seeing that the fallen child was just a little beggar, ignored it and continued to walk out.

Gradually, it seems that between heaven and earth, there is only the lonely figure of the little beggar.

"Am I late?"

The little beggar gritted his teeth, but he did not get up from the ground, but felt a sadness in his heart, a deep grief and indignation, spreading to every inch of his body. Although he couldn't remember what was going on in this City God Temple, he only felt that he had missed an appointment, the most important appointment in his life.

After that, it will be indefinite.

"Ah......h

A howl, a headache, hit my heart again. The little beggar lay on the ground trembling in pain, but felt the pain in his heart worse than the pain in his head.

I don't know how long it took for the headache to subside.

His eyes went black, and the little beggar fell into a coma again.

......

The night passed.

The sky gradually darkened, and after a while, Jingzhou City ushered in light again.

"Hey, hey......"

After a few soft calls in a row, and a few gentle pushes, the little beggar came to his senses. When I looked up, I saw a girl whose clothes were as tattered as herself, but very clean, slightly older than herself, but very beautiful, and she had never seen before.

"Why are you sleeping here, what's your name?"

The girl asked, squatting beside the little beggar and slowly helping the little beggar to sit up. Her movements were very slight, very gentle, gentle.

"My name is Xiaochuan, what about you?" the little beggar rubbed his eyes and looked at his sister in front of him.

With a shallow smile, the girl replied:

"You call me Sister Zihan. ”
