The Lotus Lantern is with you

Thunder struck, the wind howled, sand and rocks flew, and a downpour enveloped the entire village.

Everyone waited eagerly at the entrance of the village, until in the distance in the rain, an indistinct black spot moved slowly towards the entrance of the village, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

The person in the distance is gradually approaching, the wet long hair is stuck to the back, and the slightly longer bangs cover the other person's eyes, it seems that in the world, in this rain, only the black and red constitute a trembling person A picture of the heart.

When everyone saw the person in front of them clearly, they couldn't help gasping. His eyes were numb, as cold as a stiff corpse.

"Chen Xiang!" Liu Yanchang grabbed his arm, "What happened, why did you..."

"I'm fine, Dad, I need to rest." Chen Xiang lowered her eyes and said, walked around the crowd and walked towards her own room.

Some things, although ignored all the time, exist there and cannot disappear until a certain opportunity disrupts a wave of calm lake water.

Chen Xiang let himself lie on the bed, listening to the sparse rain outside the window, and did not change his wet clothes. The cold made his mind clearer. On this quiet rainy night, he calmly looked at the roof and stayed up all night. .

……

The monster's attack has not weakened. If Liu Family Village was not protected by Chen Xiang's magic power, it might be attacked too.

Fortunately, Heavenly Court has already taken some action. During this period, the speed of the spread of demons has slowed down a lot, but they are still spreading.

Chen Xiang looked up at the cloudy sky, dark clouds had been filling the sky these days, he knew that it was the coming of heaven, accompanied by a few thunderclaps from time to time, probably Thunder God and Mother Thunder were also helping.

Everyone is busy, distributing medicinal materials and food, and searching for supplies to relieve the affected people. They are busy almost day and night.

Suddenly a red light flashed outside the house, Chen Xiang was slightly startled, but saw a young man in armor walking towards him with a pointed gun in his hand.

The boy had a red Huntian satin wrapped around his arms, and a Qiankun circle around his neck. His face was frosty. Although he was a little immature, he faintly exuded a trace of majesty.

"Nezha?" Chen Xiang was taken aback when he saw the person coming.

……

The disaster situation in the north eased somewhat. Everyone knelt down and thanked the god of heaven. After Xiaoyu distributed the medicine and food, she looked at the ragged men, women and children who kowtowed to her in gratitude, with mixed feelings.

These people said that she was a fairy sent by the Queen Mother to save the world, but how did they know that she was the vixen who they said was causing trouble for all beings.

What is the difference between gods and monsters?She looked at the slight whitening of the eastern sky, and began to think about this question for the first time.

Soon a messy quarrel interrupted her meditation, Xiaoyu blinked her eyes, as if the noise came from North Street.

She touched the ground lightly, slid across the house, and landed in front of a dilapidated house following the sound.

I saw a few skinny beggars in ragged clothes surrounding a man. The man had black hair hanging down his shoulders and a high jade crown. His handsome face was full of indifference, and his cold black eyes were full of endless chill.

And these beggars surrounded the man maliciously, and one of the withered and yellow hands full of dirt stretched out towards the man. The incomplete gray nails grabbed the man's apricot hem, and dyed some blue-black spots on it. stains.

The man frowned and stepped back, there seemed to be a glint of light in his eyes, Xiaoyu was startled, although she didn't know much about the world, she also knew that these people must have seen the man dressed in noble and bright clothes, and they were afraid that they were greedy.

In the apricot-yellow long robe, the corners of the man's lips suddenly curled up slightly, and Bai Yu's face was filled with a mocking smile. Although he was dressed in simple clothes, even though he deliberately restrained his whole body, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes. That's right, it's disdain. Xiaoyu is sensitive to the fact that this person doesn't seem to be angry, because these people are not worthy of his anger at all in his eyes.

The ants are not worth his anger, it's just a matter of waving hands, the lives of these people are like thin smoke in his eyes.

Xiaoyu sighed helplessly, but she still gracefully landed in front of the man. The girl's appearance was beautiful and graceful, with an elegant charm, but also a hint of playfulness. , showing off the girl's icy muscles and bones, like a fairy descending to earth, but the pink eye shadow that was picked up has a touch of coquettishness.

However, when they saw this girl, the people who were around before backed away in horror. They still remembered that she was the "fairy" who attacked the town demon a while ago. Seeing her ability with their own eyes, naturally they dared not make a move. For the second time, he lowered his head and fled away.

Xiaoyu looked at the backs of these people running away, but her heart had calmed down. For so many days, she had seen all kinds of people, and her emotions became more indifferent.

Hearing a cold snort from the people around her, she then carefully looked at the man in front of her. When she got closer, she found that this man was carrying a coercion, just like the human emperor she saw last time, but It seems that there is something more than him.

"Young master, the world is not peaceful now, so you should come back earlier." She didn't ask who this person was, nor did she ask why such a person who was either rich or noble appeared here, her gaze was extremely Calm, as if the person in front of him was no different from those beggars before.

However, when this person saw her, he seemed very surprised. Xiaoyu only felt that his eyes were very complicated, as if he was looking at someone through her.

Strange person, Xiaoyu shook her head, turned and left, he was not a simple person, Xiaoyu would intervene not because of this person, but because he was worried that he would kill those beggars, they lost their homes and loved ones, no matter how barren their lives were It's always good to come down.

And she still has a lot to do.

……

It's early morning, and it's time to gather herbs.

Just a few hours later, when she was treating several patients with fever and dizziness, the light at the door suddenly dimmed.

A man in an apricot-yellow robe stood at the door.

"My lord, you are blocking the door." Xiaoyu frowned and said, seeing that the other party did not respond, she said again, "Is there something difficult about you, lord?"

The man walked into this dilapidated room, his pace was neither too fast nor too slow, and the light yellow clothes brought a slight breeze. It was obviously an ordinary room, but it felt like the man had walked out of the royal palace.

Xiaoyu became alert.

"I came along the road, these people were saved by you." He said in a positive tone.

"I'm just in charge of distributing medicine," she said. "There are other people who saved more innocent people."

"Really? Little girl, what's your name." The man's eyes were deep that he didn't understand.

Xiaoyu was a little puzzled, but still answered the other party, "Xiaoyu, my name is Xiaoyu."

"Xiaoyu?" The other party seemed a little surprised.The girl couldn't help touching her face, is her name so strange?This person is really strange. He looked at her with very familiar eyes from the beginning, but he didn't know her name.

The man seemed a little confused. Although he was expressionless, Xiaoyu felt that the other party was troubled.

But what did it matter to her, he hurried away, as inexplicably as he came.

It was just a one-sided meeting, she met too many people in this short period of time, and an insignificant person was quickly forgotten by her.

She carefully arranged the medicinal materials, put away the medicine bag, stroked the folds of her clothes slightly, and walked towards the small courtyard where she temporarily lived.

She walked very slowly, her footsteps were very light, and there was almost no sound. There were only one-third of the town's population left, the streets were dead and empty, and there was still a faint stench in the air.

She burned a large number of corpses in front of everyone in the past few days. The plague infection was caused by the fact that the dead corpses were not dealt with in time, and mortals were very afraid of burning corpses.

But she still did it. Under the fearful and terrified gazes of the crowd, she walked slowly, and greeted the gazes of people who were either grateful, frightened, timid, or obsessive.

It doesn't matter, she's used to it.

Xiaoyu saved many people, but not everyone is grateful to her.

After all, the medicinal materials are limited, but the food is not unlimited. The crops in this land began to wither for some reason, but the imperial court has always opened a limited warehouse, so although some people did not die of disease, they died of hunger.

But mortals are afraid of life and death, and these fears have nowhere to vent, and the distortion in their hearts is only a thought.

"Looks like a fox, but I don't know if it's true or not. Look at that captivating appearance. Don't be those monsters who deliberately framed us."

When Xiaoyu heard it, she didn't look at the woman who said her, but just paused, and then left silently, she had heard a lot of words like this.

Although it doesn't matter, it's still a little uncomfortable.

The girl was sitting by the lake, hugging her knees, quietly looking at the faint lake water, wondering what she was thinking, when suddenly an apricot-yellow figure appeared beside her.

"That woman insulted you so much, didn't you react at all?" The man sneered, and he watched it from beginning to end.

"I don't know, but... it will be a little sad." Xiaoyu was not surprised that this person would appear. These days, she had a faint feeling that someone was following her, but the other party seemed to have no malicious intentions, so she let him go.

"It's just that I'm used to it..."

The man was full of ridicule, "This is human beings, little girl, you saved them, but they were ungrateful, you gave them hope of life, but they insulted you behind your back, is such an ungrateful and ugly soul worth what you pay for them? "

Xiaoyu was slightly surprised, as if she felt a little inconceivable that the man spoke for her. After all, she could clearly see the indifference in this man's eyes, but the other's words still made her feel a little warm.

The girl smiled lightly, her smile was fresh, like the cool spring breeze and the morning dew, giving people a refreshing feeling.The clear black and white eyes made the man take a step back unnaturally.

"They're not ugly..." The girl sighed slightly, looking at the clear mist in the distance, she seemed to be thinking about something, "I'll tell you the truth, that girl is right, I'm indeed a monster, or a fox demon" Xiaoyu Seeing that the other party's expression was still calm, as if he was not interested in her identity, he smiled lightly.

"It's very strange. I'm obviously a demon, but I yearn for a human life. I...don't remember many things. I remember my brother, I remember my name, but I don't remember anything else. I don't remember my parents. I don’t remember where my home is, I don’t remember many, many things, this place is blank.” The girl suddenly relaxed and put her hands behind her back, looked up at the vast and clear sky, and exhaled.

"The life of a mortal is so short and fragile, but... I am very envious, strong, tenacious..." Xiaoyu thought of her past, and smiled wryly, "I am very envious... In my life, I actually..."

She lost her memory, but she often felt dizzy, and she couldn't remember anything after the dizziness. Although she didn't pay attention to it at first, but the more times, she gradually became a little uneasy, as if she was trapped by something, no longer be yourself.

But this feeling is vague, and she can't tell others that she doesn't want everyone to worry about her.

"I'm sorry, I told you so much without realizing it, and I made it difficult for you." The girl smiled a little embarrassedly, but she heard the man sneer disdainfully, as if he didn't care about her words.

"I'll take you to a place." Xiaoyu thought for a while, then stood up suddenly, patted the grass clippings on her body, "Come with me, okay?"

Maybe it was the girl's firm gaze, which made the man follow behind the girl through the collapsed houses. Behind a few trees, it was a dilapidated house. Inside, a woman gently comforted a sleeping child. Fan Feng, her eyes were full of love and affection, she was not at all the sarcastic woman who spoke out sarcasm before.

The man was a little surprised, is this the woman just now?

The woman touched the boy's forehead, and kissed him sadly, then she gently covered her stomach and walked towards the kitchen. There was only a bowl of cold water on the table, and the woman sighed softly , pouring it slowly.

"She met me. At that time, her child died, and I...couldn't do anything..."

The man was slightly stunned, but when he turned around, he saw that the girl's face was still calm, but her eyes were full of helplessness and vicissitudes.

"...Let's go..."

The girl led him through a tidy street again, "This place was still a mess half a month ago, but now we can see what it used to be like."

Along the way, the ugliness of the world is in the eyes.

The girl was wearing tattered clothes, pleadingly stretching out her dusty and blood-stained hands, but no one paid attention to it. At this moment, it was not easy for her to survive, and who would give alms to others.

The man frowned and sneered, "Why, little girl, why didn't you make a move this time." Stop spreading your kind heart.

Xiaoyu shook her head, with a helpless expression. After so many days, she left her brother and Liujia Village. She was the only one in the outside world, without Ao Chun and Ding Xiang. She gradually understood many things.

"I can't change it... I may be able to save their lives for a while, but survival is beyond my control."

The girl looked at a dilapidated corpse on the side of the road, which had been submerged in weeds. It could be vaguely seen that it was a child. The girl knelt down on one knee slowly, brushing her hand over the corpse, and the corpse turned into soot and dissipated.

"If I give her food, the next moment will be that little girl lying here..."

The man seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and the sarcasm in his eyes became more profound, almost undisguised, "Since this is the case, why do you need to go to such lengths to save them? If you save them, you will die. It is better to let them fend for themselves."

Xiaoyu got up slowly, put her hands in her sleeves, and walked very dignifiedly, "Ordinary people are fragile when facing a disaster. When a disaster strikes, they may form a compact group to fight together, or they may kill each other and die together. Live regardless of the means and the cost."

"However, to live is to hope. They have imperfections, desires, and greed. At the same time, they also know how to cherish, so they have sincere feelings."

When talking about feelings, the man sneered, but he didn't interrupt the girl.

"A strong and unyielding soul, no matter how much hardship it encounters, can always survive tenaciously. If it survives, it will have a chance to change. Maybe it's... mortals, life is so short, so they value other things very much."

The girl's voice was a little fuzzy. Along the way, there was only a dilapidated world, with dilapidated houses, and the world was full of things.

"It's going to be okay...it just needs to change before it does, it will take time..."

The man was silent, he didn't understand why he followed the girl on such a dirty and dilapidated street, when he turned around the thatched hut before, the girl's mournful and desperate crying stopped the two of them, as if heart-piercing .

The child was dead, starving, from which no mortal could escape.

Xiaoyu watched quietly, didn't do anything, just left silently, the lowered eyes couldn't see her expression clearly, but the man knew that she should be... sad.

It was night, and when the girl returned to the hut, a disheveled man ran out in a panic. When he saw the girl, he took a few steps back in horror and was about to run away.

With a wave of the girl's hand, the man was bound by an invisible rope. The girl stared at the medicine bottle that fell out of the man's arms, and was stunned. Then she lost her mana, and the man couldn't believe it, and stumbled away.

"Why let him go, he stole your medicine."

The girl didn't answer, she walked towards the house, leaving behind a faint voice, "It's getting late, sir, please go back."

……

The moonlight was covered by thick dark clouds, and the night was quiet and cold. The girl sat cross-legged on the bed. In the quiet room, the girl suddenly asked, "Why do you still stay here, my lord?"

"I don't understand." In the empty room, a man in an apricot-yellow robe suddenly appeared, without any embarrassment of being exposed. He stared at the girl,

Xiaoyu opened her eyes, her black and white pupils were clean and clear, "He is the willow tree demon."

The man frowned, of course he knew.

"I found him around my house a few days ago, he seemed a little hesitant. I heard that he fell in love with a mortal woman. This time he came to steal medicine to save people."

Xiaoyu closed her eyes, "He thought I was really a fairy in people's mouth, so he didn't dare to ask me, but how would he know that I'm just like him, I'm nothing more than a goblin, but my practice is more profound... "

"What is the difference between gods and demons? Gods commit crimes and mortals, and demons will also save the world... It's just that they were born differently." The girl's tone was a bit bitter, "Maybe...someone will change this."

The girl was fast asleep, her breathing was very slow, her pretty face seemed to emit a faint halo, she really looked like a holy fairy.

fairy?The man sneered, a golden light flashed in the room, the man's apricot-yellow robe gradually turned into a golden color, and the five-clawed golden dragon on the sleeve was about to take off into the sky.

The man looked at the sleeping girl with complicated eyes, and murmured.

"It's really like... Really like, Shang, if you are still alive..." He paused, "I'm afraid you will be angry with me."

The woman who was always gentle and tolerant of him, but in her heart she valued the common people in the world more than anything else. She said, "As the ruler of the Three Realms, you must cherish your people."

"Human life is too short, but it is so short that we cherish it so much," the woman said while looking down at the earth, "You don't have to worry about them being crushed, because the new life will bring the land back to life, protect them, and watch They, become their belief." The woman looked into his eyes, determined to get his promise.

However, she died... at the hands of the humans she guarded...

So what about the gods, what about the ruler of the three realms, he couldn't save her, he could only watch her disappear before his eyes.

The man covered his face and laughed, his dragon robe was wet with tears.

He clenched his hands tightly, staring at the quiet girl in front of him, with murderous intent in his eyes, at first he was just surprised by this almost identical face.

With expectations, he followed this girl, but then he realized that even though she had the same looks and temperament, she was not her after all, and Mingshang was unique, so he clenched the sword in his hand, and he would not allow her face to grow in other people's eyes. on people.

The sword edge drove the flow of air and pierced the girl's heart.

In the nick of time, the girl's wrist suddenly shone with five-color light, which blocked his attack. At the same time, the moon ice stone on the girl's neck also emitted a milky white halo, firmly protecting the girl.

"There is actually a protective formation." The man was surprised. "This power does not belong to the power of the Three Realms. Hmph, I want to see where this thing is."

Violently swinging the sword again, the light became more intense, competing with his strength. At this moment, he saw a blue-purple pattern appear on the girl's neck, and a more familiar aura emanated from the girl.

The man was startled, and then he laughed inconceivably, "So that's the case, that's the way it is, you really have a good plan."

The man squinted and looked at the girl as if her body trembled, a blue-purple light diffused from the neck to the surroundings, and faint black lines appeared on the girl's skin, but quickly, quickly dissipated.

Unexpectedly, this thing that had been restrained by the two protective formations on the girl's body would break through the suppression and slip out because of his sword.

He stretched out his hand, tapped the girl's forehead with his index finger, and a golden light shot into the girl's inner body.

"Yuan, if you want to fight with me, you are a little too early..."
