When the devil
Chapter 177
【Yutu Xitingshan Cave】
Gu Yuan lit a lamp, carried it with one hand, and walked into the depths of the cave step by step.
There is an illusion formed by barriers here, like layers of walls, which require special spells to break through, and Gu Yuan himself has unique magic power. He walked through the walls and down the steps for a long time. Finally reached the deepest point.
This is a palace built underground. When Gu Yuan pushed the door and entered, the sound of chains pulling suddenly came from the empty interior. He stood still in place, and in front of him was a man with loose black hair who was clawing at him with his teeth and claws. The iron chain was worn blood red, so that there was only a short distance between his pale hand and Gu Yuan.
"I'm sorry, brother, Yu is in a mess, and the heroes are gathered. If I move this enchantment, I'm afraid someone will notice it."
Gu Yuan showed an embarrassed smile, held the hand stretched out to her in the palm of her hand, and patted it comfortingly.
Under the messy black hair, the man raised his head, revealing his thin cheeks.
He is Gu Xuancheng.
His eyes were dry, his face was haggard, and even his lips were thirsty and cracked.
He didn't know how long he had been imprisoned here. Looking back, it was after he left the palace alone to meet Wei Ling. It was unknown who leaked the news, and it finally reached Yue Erzhen.Seeing that the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is approaching, the demon disciples from the east were worried that Gu Xuancheng would affect the overall situation, so they decided to suppress him on their own initiative, and replaced his existence with a fully awakened "Gate of Hell", even without the qualification of being a "human being". are taken away.
Gu Yuan brought him here and imprisoned him on the grounds of saving him.
right.Gu Yuan once said that she did this to save him.
After everything is over, give him real freedom.
"The gates of hell are out of control, and in the end they will perish. I guess your master should have discovered that he is not you - after all, he is a defective product created by forbidden techniques. It is already the limit to be able to imitate your mind to this extent." Gu Yuan said helplessly: "I have persuaded the queen earlier, the more you look like a cowardly person like you, the more troublesome it will be. If 'he' can be more ruthless, the queen's evil wish will not be so difficult to come true."
"What did you do?" Gu Xuancheng asked dully.
"I didn't do anything, just watched a show." Gu Yuan took out a steel fan and waved it in front of Gu Xuancheng's eyes: "By the way, I'll help you get back a good thing."
Gu Xuancheng was trembling all over, and he stretched out his hand to grab the fan, but Gu Yuan raised his hand, allowing Gu Xuancheng to snatch it away.
"The gate of hell is gone, Yue Erzhen is dead, brother, you don't feel anything about the long-lost freedom?" Gu Yuan looked at him condescendingly.
Gu Xuancheng's expression was bewildered, and the iron chain was rattling.
"Freedom?" Suddenly, he laughed: "Gu Xiao never thought that I would inherit his position, the crown prince will be deposed before he is established...he doesn't even bother to depose..."
Gu Yuan looked down at him: "It's a pity that he is dead, and the will is in my hands. As long as I don't take it out, no one will know what is written in it."
"That's enough, it's not important, I'm not interested." Gu Xuancheng raised his head and stared at the steel fan in Gu Yuan's hand: "Yuan'er, I treat you well, if you have the heart, let me go."
Gu Yuan chuckled lightly, and said, "Why don't I, I have always regarded you as my only support since I was a child."
His voice was clear and transparent, as if no matter where he hid in any corner, he couldn't escape his announcement.
Gu Xuan stopped talking, he stared blankly like this, he couldn't seem to hear what Gu Yuan said, the steel fan held in mid-air was everything he wanted.
Gu Yuan looked at him blankly for a while, then suddenly stepped back, pulling the distance even further.
"Do you want it?" He said to Gu Xuancheng, "Kneel down and beg me."
With a "plop", Gu Xuancheng knelt on the ground without thinking, raised his hands high, and stared at the steel fan: "Yuan'er, give it back to me..."
"A fan, is it so important to you?"
"That's what Master gave me."
Gu Yuan shook her head: "It's time to wake up from the dream."
Gu Xuancheng stubbornly opened his eyes wide, and the dark pupils seemed to be dizzy: "...that is not a dream!"
Gu Yuan chuckled, eyes full of love, he lowered his hand, and handed the steel fan to Gu Xuancheng.
"Ignorance itself is a bliss."
He looked at Gu Xuancheng's expression and showed a gentle smile as his hands touched the steel fan.
"Brother, I really regret it. If I could have prevented you from going to Liuli Mountain, you...wouldn't have ended up like this."
When the words fell, the sharp blade of the steel fan slashed across Gu Xuancheng's throat the moment Gu Yuan waved his hand, and the scarlet blood seeped along Gu Xuancheng's clothes. He opened his eyes, his smile froze on his face, and then The turbidity surged, fragmenting the firelight into the silent darkness.
Gu Yuan looked down at him, threw the steel fan away as if it was dirty, and threw it beside Gu Xuancheng.
Soon, ice slowly formed around the steel fan and slowly devoured it.Those ice crystals are like a group of ants spreading and climbing continuously, climbing up Gu Xuancheng's clothes, hair, cheeks, freezing his skin inch by inch.
"Where's Wei Ling?" Gu Yuan asked.
A thick voice echoed around: "When the gate of hell closed, Zhu Wu rushed to swallow the curse. He is fine, and he should still be in a coma now."
Gu Yuan's eyes lit up: "That's really great."
The voice continued: "You promised Your Majesty that you would not do anything to him."
"It's nothing to do with others, it's his life that deserves to die." Gu Yuan smiled wryly and shook her head and said, "Yu Wu made a bet with me. If he doesn't die, I can't touch his people. Who would have expected this bet to be played for so many years?" , did not come to fruition."
Gu Xuancheng's body was surrounded by ice, more and more hoarfrost surged around him, and soon he turned into a giant dragon covered in ice, coiled in the narrow cave.
"You also lose bets sometimes?"
"I didn't lose." Gu Yuan rubbed her temples, turned around and stopped looking at Binglong: "However, being deceived by him is longer than the length of life, and I don't know how many thousand years it will take, but you see, he wanted to save him. My little lover, eat gluttonous food first, then swallow the gates of hell, even if he doesn't die this time, he will have to turn into a meowing little cat."
"Maybe he can escape back to the Demon Realm to save his life."
Gu Yuan frowned, and worried for a moment: "...forget it, cats have nine lives, and it's enough for him to waste a few more times."
The surrounding frost churned, layer upon layer among the rock walls and rocks.
Binglong asked him in a low voice: "What should I do next, inherit the throne as His Majesty wishes?"
Gu Yuan muttered to himself, and walked forward self-consciously: "At any rate, it's my brother's legacy, so it's natural to inherit it."
Binglong sneered: "Your brother just died in your hands."
Gu Yuan paused for a moment, then slowly turned her head to stare at the ice dragon, with a bit of murderous intent in her eyes, causing the ice dragon to freeze for a moment.But in the blink of an eye, the killing intent disappeared again, as if a wind had blown away the smoke, and faded into a smile without waves.
"My brother died long ago."
he said softly.
"No matter how long the dead body lives, it doesn't make sense."
The snow seeps into the coniferous forests and rustles with a gust of wind.
Gu Yuan walked out of the cave, choking on the cold so that she sneezed.This cave hidden next to the waterfall at the back of Xiting Mountain is guarded by an enchantment. The enchantment was made by Yu Wanfeng. Now that his demon power has dissipated, the power of the enchantment is also gradually dissipating. It's just that the streamer is moving at this moment. The water spray of the waterfall rippled in the air, as if a wandering hungry child smelled the fragrance of breastfeeding, a breeze blew up amidst the restlessness, smearing light and dust into Gu Yuan's eyes.
A figure appeared in his eyes, and soon a polite smile appeared on his face: "Brother."
Xia Zhou stepped out of the shadows, the faint halo of the enchantment illuminated his handsome yet evil face.He was carrying a black object in his hand, and he threw it in front of Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan was startled, covered her mouth and backed away, her smile disappeared immediately, leaving only a pretty face pale with fright.
"This is……?"
"People's hearts." The red light in Xia Zhou's eyes did not go away, and as he narrowed his eyes slightly, the black cloud of smoke and dust quickly dissipated, turning the stirring things inside into a hard crystal.
"People, people's hearts?"
"Well, the gate of hell is a collection of countless resentments. As long as you donate your heart, they will become independent beings, imitating the master of the 'heart', and living like a human being." Xia Zhou's eyes were full of smiles, his tone Li, however, pretended to be a little helpless: "I helped you get his heart back, and I wanted to save his life... Now it seems that I am late?"
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that this cat's acting skills were too bad, and it was clearly intentional to make people feel uncomfortable.
"Does what you promised me before still count?" Xia Zhou took another step forward, his black hair scattered, exuding the courage of a ghost.
Gu Yuan laughed and lowered her head to pick up the black crystal while laughing. In this cold winter, the crystal felt warm to the touch.Gu Yuan suddenly became interested and weighed it for a while, then suddenly raised her head, and said sincerely: "Forget it, of course, there is no need to be so strict in our friendship. Tell me, what else do you want from me?"
Xia Zhou said: "After I leave, I must keep A Ling safe."
Gu Yuan blinked, and said half-jokingly: "This is a bit of a shame, brother, the so-called willingness to gamble and admit defeat—"
"Nothing is willing to gamble and admit defeat. If you don't agree, with my current monster power, I still have the energy to play with you." After the words fell, a chill instantly enveloped Xia Zhou's surroundings.
"Ah, don't play, don't play, this king said casually, don't take it seriously." Gu Yuan was scared by him and took another step back, the smile on her face finally faded: "Brother, we have known each other for so long, You should also be aware of the virtues of this king who knows how to repay you, for example, this king likes the gift you gave me very much, and this king will naturally accept your little request."
Xia Zhou laughed lightly and didn't answer, that's all he wanted to say.After Gu Yuan's voice fell, the airflow in the forest suddenly increased, the flying snow blended with the black mist, and the surroundings were still shrouded in a powerful murderous aura that seemed to come from the abyss, Xia Zhou retreated into the darkness, the reddish eyes finally dimmed , just in an instant, it disappeared completely.
After a while, the forest returned to calm.
Gu Yuan felt cold and sneezed again.He rubbed his nose, then hummed a little song, and walked into the forest alone.
The sky is getting brighter and the snow is gradually subsiding.
The black mud mottled on the road has nowhere to escape under the light, slowly shrinking into the corners of the eaves, shrinking into the festering mud.
The demon sealing array in the sky collapsed, the breath of death covering Yudu dissipated, and the soldiers cleaned up the mess. Under the sunshine, more and more people woke up from their long sleep. They walked out of the house like a nightmare. After countless nights, it has come to an end.
There was a terrible scene near the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven, and blood seeped into the moat, dyeing the river red.
The bells in the city are ringing, which is a mournful cry to appease the dead.
In the next few days, the Xue family took the remnants of the soldiers busy with major and minor matters in the city. Someone else from the Taili Academy took over, but it is not known who it is.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or someone arranged in advance. The garrison in the north camped outside the city of Yudu, and was ordered by the military to assist in the reconstruction of Yudu. .
The night before the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, although Wei Ling was invited, he didn't show up until the end. Later, Shen Feihuan joked that no one dared to offend Gu Yuan before he became emperor. What a talent, if one day he died suddenly, it would most likely be Gu Yuan's revenge.
He also said: "Both you and Pavilion Master Xia look down on him too much. Although that person lives in a muddle-headed way, he has a nature of vengeance and is extremely cold-blooded."
These words did not sound like advice, but more like an answer to Wei Ling.
At this time, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and there were not many carriages leaving the city. What was amazing was that the carriage that Shen Feihuan brought was the one from before Prince You's Mansion, and the guards at the gate did not stop them at all when passing through the city gate.
"No one underestimates him. It's just that if he really wants to kill me, I may not be able to survive Jinchuan's catastrophe. The reason why I haven't touched me is that he doesn't want to kill, or he can't kill." Wei Ling held in his hand. Holding the flagon, lying on his back on the cushion in a daze, Zi Wan'er and Bai Li fell asleep beside him, breathing very lightly through the swaying curtain.
Shen Feihuan said: "Listen to my advice, since he let you go, don't come back."
Wei Ling was acquiescing, thinking about all the things Gu Yuan had done, maybe... it's a good thing not to be his enemy.
The carriage wobbled.
Through the window of the car, he could see the clear moon in the sky, and everything that happened in the past few days made him feel unreal.
About an hour ago, Shen Feihuan proposed to go with him. The reason was simple. He said that Xia Zhou had saved his life, so he came to send him out of the city. Anyway, it was late at night, and it was lonely without anyone to accompany him.
The words "no one to accompany me" made Wei Ling silent for a moment.Shen Feihuan was very clever, and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he made the mistake and continued: "The master of the pavilion has suffered a great loss of demon power, so he will definitely not stay in Yudu... Besides, if he is here, why doesn't he come to see you?"
Thinking of this, Wei Ling became a little more conscious. He opened the curtain of the carriage and climbed onto the roof of the carriage. The cool winter wind was blowing his hair, and he watched Yudu, who was illuminated by the fire, gradually go away.
"Is the eyeball Xia Zhou left for you still there?" Wei Ling asked Shen Feihuan.
"Hey, I forgot if you didn't tell me." Shen Feihuan fumbled inside her clothes and took out the knife: "I thought I lost it when I killed Yu Wanfeng, but luckily I went back to look for it, thinking my sister-in-law would keep a knife." Think about it."
"..." This kid really doesn't have good deeds.
Wei Ling took the eyeballs and poked them, but there was no response.Shen Fei comforted with a smile: "Most monsters are cultivated from all things. After death, they will turn into the original. The presence of eyeballs proves that they are still alive. They may be wandering in the world, or they may have returned to the demon realm."
Wei Ling let out a "hmm" and didn't comment.
"Shen Feihuan, you are not allowed to bully brother." Zi Wan'er's little head protruded from the carriage.
Shen Feihuan glanced at her, but before she could speak, she shrank back in fright.
After a while, Zi Wan'er's voice floated out of the carriage again sullenly: "Brother, let's not be with him anymore, he is a murderer, and sooner or later he will pay with blood. Let's go find Xia Mao Mao."
Shen Feihuan was amused by her: "Haha, there's no need to drive me away, after passing the post in front, Shen will just say goodbye."
Zi Wan'er: "Hmph, hurry up."
"If you talk about blood debts, I'm afraid I have paid more debts than any murderer in the world." Shen Feihuan took out the small flute that he carried with him, and twirled it in his hand: "People's pain can only be felt when they are alive." Will feel, death is a kind of relief, understand? Little brat."
"Nonsense! You're the brat! If you die, you'll lose everything. I don't want to sacrifice the chance to eat delicious food just because I'm afraid of pain."
Shen Feihuan rubbed his ears, and suddenly kicked the horse. The horse was startled, and the carriage was shaken.
Zi Wan'er screamed in fright, not daring to speak any more.
Shen Feihuan sighed maliciously: "Where did this stinky girl come from? It's really noisy."
"..."
Thinking about it, Zi Guaner met Wei Ling and the others only after she was hunted down by Shen Feihuan. Shen Feihuan probably forgot all about it.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you do a good job and take Xiaobai away. From now on, you will have both children, and you will never worry about being childless when you grow old." Shen Feihuan said while cleaning the flute.
He said this casually, but when Wei Ling heard it, there was an illusion of deliberately emphasizing it.
Wei Ling turned to look at him, under the silver moonlight, Shen Feihuan's figure seemed to be shrouded in a layer of darkness that couldn't be brightened.
"General Bai's whereabouts are unknown now, why don't you take Xiao Bai to find him?"
"Back then, Bai Lie saved my life, and I paid him back, so it's even..." Shen Feihuan said calmly, "Besides, I'm a disaster, whoever stays with me will have a bad life."
Bai Li in the carriage was still sleeping. The child must have been exhausted, and he didn't see any reaction when he carried it around before going out.
Wei Ling said: "He wakes up and clamors to see his parents, I don't have time to worry about it."
Shen Feihuan said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, he is much more sensible than his peers... He will definitely not cause you too much trouble."
At this point, Wei Ling finally understood.
Maybe Shen Feihuan's reason was to entrust Bai Li to him.
Although he didn't say a lot of things, Wei Ling was thinking that maybe the carriage in Prince You's Mansion was not a coincidence, nor was it a coincidence that no one was blocking the city gate.Now that Taotie is dead, the engraving on Shen Feihuan should have dissipated, but if there is still a demonic aura lingering around him...
Many thoughts fell to the bottom of my heart, but in the end no one brought them up again.
The night wind blows, and the sky is bright and vast.
The carriage moved slowly along the road.
After a while, Shen Feihuan played the flute, and the melodious sound of the flute made the silent night no longer lonely.
Wei Ling thought that he must have drunk too much, Shen Feihuan's flute sounded so sad, he put down the flagon in silence, and took out that little eyeball again.
Summer cat, summer cat.
Wherever you go, I will find you.
……
……
There was a heavy humidity in the air.
It was as if the heavy snow had receded, and the weight of the whole winter was here.
When Bai Lie woke up, he was lying on the rickety carriage. It was a corpse carriage. There were other corpses beside him. Although he was conscious, his whole body was in pain. When he opened his eyes, he felt The sun above his head was extremely dazzling, as if he was still living in a dream, which had not subsided for a long time.
"do not move."
The man with the carriage spoke to him.
"Let's go out of the city like this, all the way to the north, the world is so big, we always have to look around."
Bai Lie absolutely didn't want to hear that voice at this time, but he was exhausted and didn't want to talk to him.
Why are you still alive.
He felt strange.
But the other party replied in a low voice, as if he could see through his mind, "The thing is in the palm of your left hand."
Hearing this sentence, Bai Lie moved his fingers, and then slowly raised them up.
The necklace dangled from his blood-stained fingers.
"..."
When will the child be returned to him?
Bai Lie suddenly felt it was funny, and slowly recalled Bai Li's immature but resolute eyes in his muddy consciousness.
"Be more serious about pretending to be dead."
His hand was caught by someone, and he put it back to his side. The man leaning over showed a mocking smile, his eyes were crimson, showing a demon that couldn't go away.
"Where are you... taking me?" Bai Lie asked him.
"This place is too unlucky, I have to pay attention to the scenery when I eat."
"Ah."
"why are you laughing."
"…nothing."
The man was not happy when he heard it: "Do you think your mortal body can withstand the gate of hell? Kneel down and thank me after you recover from your injury. I am a peerless beast. Meeting me is your blessing through the ages." .”
After Bai Lie talked to him a few words, he was already dizzy and confused, and the man behind him was still chattering non-stop, but he couldn't hear clearly anymore.
Mere demons...
he thought to himself.
After he recovers, he must be killed with his own hands.
[Glass City in half a year]
In the past few years, such a passage has always been circulated at the foot of Liuli Mountain.
Immortals chasing demon kings away, there is no pure land in the world.
Later, the most famous storyteller in the city explained that this did not come from any poem or any rumor at all, it was a sign from the heavens, which clearly pointed out that the immortals on Liuli Mountain were bewitched by the demon king, and abandoned them to the mortal world.
People in Liuli City have always regarded this as a joke.Now that the new emperor is enthroned, the eastern border is destroyed, the demon gate is sealed, and the border war is gradually returning to peace. Seeing that the peaceful and prosperous age is approaching, how can people take any rumors of ghosts and ghosts to their hearts? The pat on the chest was quickly forgotten.
What's more, Liuli Mountain is a fairy mountain, and there are many newly recruited apprentices, which can be seen in the city from time to time. Even if there are real demons coming into the world, if they are afraid of provoking them, they still have to learn how to behave like humans.
However, a few days ago, it was suddenly rumored that a cat demon was in trouble and stole a house of wine in the wine alley next door. Liulishan sent people to investigate, but in the end they couldn't find out why.
At this point in the story, Li Zhongqing, the storyteller, picked up the teapot and took a sip of water. The audience below all stared. There are monsters?The people in Liulicheng half believed it, and they couldn't hide their curiosity. The tavern was full today, just to see what new information Li Zhongqing could find.
"As early as a few years ago, the enchantment of the demon gate fluctuated, and most of the monsters hidden in the human world returned to the demon domain, and the ones left today are more or less monsters with extremely high cultivation levels. I don't think it's easy for the cat monster , maybe—it’s a big evil monster that can eat people.”
Seeing that everyone below was listening seriously, Li Zhongqing couldn't help but accentuate his tone.
"He couldn't be talking about Xia Zhou."
It was Zi Wan'er who was sitting in the cubicle who was talking, unexpectedly, she would listen to the bragging of the book with relish.
"How can the majestic demon king be reduced to stealing people's wine? I don't think so." Yuan Chun held his chin, playing with chopsticks boredly.
Coincidentally, after Yuan Chun left Yudu, she pretended to be a Taoist priest and mercilessly slaughtered people for a large sum of money on the grounds of subjugating demons. She lived a chic life. A few days ago, she saw A cat hunting notice at a sky-high price. I thought it would be profitable, but I didn't expect to meet Zi Wan'er.
The cat I want to look for is not a meowing wild cat on the roadside.
……
Find a chance and run away, Yuan Chun thought silently.She never wants to have anything to do with Zhu Wu in this life.
Zi Wan'er pursed her lips at this time, with a sad expression: "That's right, Xia Maomao likes my brother so much, why hasn't he shown up for so long, is he dead...or has gone back to the Demon Realm."
Yuan Chun rolled his eyes at the sky: "Nine times out of ten, he is dead."
Zi Wan'er was sad: "Then what about my brother?"
Yuan Chun's sorrows and joys were not connected with hers: "What should I do? With his looks, it would be a waste not to marry three wives and six concubines. A big man, why did he hang himself on a stinky cat?"
Zi Wan'er stared, but she was a little angry: "You don't know anything."
Yuan Chun: "Huh?"
Zi Wan'er: "It's been half a year, and my brother hasn't let go of any clues to find him. If, if this happens again, I'm afraid I really have to go to the Demon Realm to find him."
"How can it be so easy to go to the Demon Realm? Wei Ling is a human being, and the enchantment of the Demon Gate is thousands of years, er, or a hundred years? Anyway, it only opens once in a long time. By the time he goes to the Demon Realm, I'm afraid he will already be old."
Yuan Chun is not living for a living. She really has no hope of finding Zhuwu, and she doesn't want the money anymore. What a cat-hunting notice, it's a waste of time and life. It's best to be with this group of people forever Don't meet each other, life is short, don't delay too long on messy things.
In fact, if Yuan Chun and Zi Wan'er really went to find the cat that stole the wine, they might really have a chance to find Xia Zhou.
Since the end of the Yudu Rebellion, Xia Zhou's monster power has been severely injured, not to mention turning into a human being, even being a lively kitten is enough for him.This embarrassment, of course, cannot be seen by Wei Ling. He has thought of ways to restore his demonic nature, but after much deliberation, if he kills and eats people and let Wei Ling know, he will have to be scolded. After the demon power is exhausted, I'm afraid he will really turn into a kitten who starves to death by the side of the road.
How to do it.
Xia Zhou thought, maybe he should go back to the demon domain, return to his own demon hall to recover, and wait for the next opportunity - if someone recruits a demon again, no matter who it is, he should respond first, and then figure out a way when he comes to the world .
So, in half a year, Xiazhou traveled long distances, from Yudu to Liuli City, and then from Liuli City back to Seam Cloud Mountain, but the demon power passed too quickly, and he lost his mind several times on the way, chasing the mouse's butt uncontrollably .
He stayed in Liuli Mountain for a long time, went to Shuiyue Pavilion, saw that the disciples he had taken in were still living there, went to the foot of Liuli Mountain, and found that the barrier had been reset, and he couldn't go up the mountain even if he wanted to , In the end, he went to the restaurant to steal wine and drank. When he was drunk, he stood on the roof and meowed. When he was tired, he lay down on the cold roof and slept.
He really missed Wei Ling.
Familiar streets, familiar shops, familiar mountains, water, and bushes in Liuli City.
Unknowingly, Xia Zhou stayed in Liuli City for too long, until someone spread the story of the cat demon to Liuli Mountain, and the little Taoist priests on the mountain chased him in groups in the city. He left Liuli City without hesitation and continued to go up Seam Cloud Mountain.
It was hot summer then.
But there was still heavy snow falling on Seam Cloud Mountain.
Xia Zhou's legs and feet were weak, and he walked hard on the snow. His demon nature completely disappeared, and only the purest strength of a cat remained in his body. After a lot of hard work, he finally arrived at Cangming Temple, but found that the barrier that sealed the demon gate did not respond.
correct.
He has lost all his demonic power, and is no different from an ordinary kitten now.
He couldn't pass through the enchantment of the demon gate, and sooner or later he would freeze to death in the ice and snow.
Xia Zhou raised his head and meowed at the demon door several times, sweeping his tail back and forth in the snow, and waited for a while, but there was still no movement from the demon gate.
The ferocious beast Wuwu died so tragically in the world, if Chaos knew about it, he would laugh at him for thousands of years.
So what.
If he really died, he lost the bet with Gu Yuan, and that terrifying monster would never let Wei Ling go.
Xia Zhou stumbled and walked back to Cangming Temple, he thought, if he wants to die, he must find a place where no one will find out and die quietly, so that he can hide from the world and no one will know.
He stepped on the rotten wooden floor and walked into Cangming Temple, but he was so tired that he lay on the ground as soon as he entered.
The snow fell silently, and the world was so silent that it was frightening.
His vision was blurred, looking at the white snow outside the house.
Many years ago, there were demons with nowhere to go, desperate people.
The kitten curled up and hid in his arms.
The kitten's warm fur is all he can rely on.
Dressed in white, similar to the flawless winter scene.
The kitten is always chasing him, as if once it stops, it will lose its trace in this chaotic world.
"Aling..."
He called out this name dreamily, and seemed to hear footsteps in a daze.
But Xia Zhou couldn't open his eyes, only his tail was moving slightly.
Wei Ling held an umbrella in his hand, and the falling snow fell on the umbrella, tilting and falling when he let go of his hand slightly.
He lowered his body, his cold fingertips touched Xia Zhou's soft fur, touched his neck, and rubbed it like a dragonfly.
"You can really run."
He felt Xia Zhou rubbing against his hand.
Maybe it was falling into a dream, the movement was very light, but it seemed to be entangled with him with all his strength.
"Come home with me."
The snow keeps falling, as if winter will never go away, and spring will never come again.
But time goes on, day after day.
The ice of the river melted, and it was cold and froze again.
The snow blows off the trees, and the trail is covered again.
Memories are intertwined, tossed and turned day and night.
I returned as scheduled, this is the meaning of meeting.

--------------------
The author has something to say:
Finally finished!I thought I had to say a thousand words, but after I finished writing, I seemed to have nothing to say... Thanks to the friends who have been following the article, the first novel wrote 70 words, and I really thought about it a few times in the middle (especially when I was locked. ), in short thank you again!
Gu Yuan lit a lamp, carried it with one hand, and walked into the depths of the cave step by step.
There is an illusion formed by barriers here, like layers of walls, which require special spells to break through, and Gu Yuan himself has unique magic power. He walked through the walls and down the steps for a long time. Finally reached the deepest point.
This is a palace built underground. When Gu Yuan pushed the door and entered, the sound of chains pulling suddenly came from the empty interior. He stood still in place, and in front of him was a man with loose black hair who was clawing at him with his teeth and claws. The iron chain was worn blood red, so that there was only a short distance between his pale hand and Gu Yuan.
"I'm sorry, brother, Yu is in a mess, and the heroes are gathered. If I move this enchantment, I'm afraid someone will notice it."
Gu Yuan showed an embarrassed smile, held the hand stretched out to her in the palm of her hand, and patted it comfortingly.
Under the messy black hair, the man raised his head, revealing his thin cheeks.
He is Gu Xuancheng.
His eyes were dry, his face was haggard, and even his lips were thirsty and cracked.
He didn't know how long he had been imprisoned here. Looking back, it was after he left the palace alone to meet Wei Ling. It was unknown who leaked the news, and it finally reached Yue Erzhen.Seeing that the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is approaching, the demon disciples from the east were worried that Gu Xuancheng would affect the overall situation, so they decided to suppress him on their own initiative, and replaced his existence with a fully awakened "Gate of Hell", even without the qualification of being a "human being". are taken away.
Gu Yuan brought him here and imprisoned him on the grounds of saving him.
right.Gu Yuan once said that she did this to save him.
After everything is over, give him real freedom.
"The gates of hell are out of control, and in the end they will perish. I guess your master should have discovered that he is not you - after all, he is a defective product created by forbidden techniques. It is already the limit to be able to imitate your mind to this extent." Gu Yuan said helplessly: "I have persuaded the queen earlier, the more you look like a cowardly person like you, the more troublesome it will be. If 'he' can be more ruthless, the queen's evil wish will not be so difficult to come true."
"What did you do?" Gu Xuancheng asked dully.
"I didn't do anything, just watched a show." Gu Yuan took out a steel fan and waved it in front of Gu Xuancheng's eyes: "By the way, I'll help you get back a good thing."
Gu Xuancheng was trembling all over, and he stretched out his hand to grab the fan, but Gu Yuan raised his hand, allowing Gu Xuancheng to snatch it away.
"The gate of hell is gone, Yue Erzhen is dead, brother, you don't feel anything about the long-lost freedom?" Gu Yuan looked at him condescendingly.
Gu Xuancheng's expression was bewildered, and the iron chain was rattling.
"Freedom?" Suddenly, he laughed: "Gu Xiao never thought that I would inherit his position, the crown prince will be deposed before he is established...he doesn't even bother to depose..."
Gu Yuan looked down at him: "It's a pity that he is dead, and the will is in my hands. As long as I don't take it out, no one will know what is written in it."
"That's enough, it's not important, I'm not interested." Gu Xuancheng raised his head and stared at the steel fan in Gu Yuan's hand: "Yuan'er, I treat you well, if you have the heart, let me go."
Gu Yuan chuckled lightly, and said, "Why don't I, I have always regarded you as my only support since I was a child."
His voice was clear and transparent, as if no matter where he hid in any corner, he couldn't escape his announcement.
Gu Xuan stopped talking, he stared blankly like this, he couldn't seem to hear what Gu Yuan said, the steel fan held in mid-air was everything he wanted.
Gu Yuan looked at him blankly for a while, then suddenly stepped back, pulling the distance even further.
"Do you want it?" He said to Gu Xuancheng, "Kneel down and beg me."
With a "plop", Gu Xuancheng knelt on the ground without thinking, raised his hands high, and stared at the steel fan: "Yuan'er, give it back to me..."
"A fan, is it so important to you?"
"That's what Master gave me."
Gu Yuan shook her head: "It's time to wake up from the dream."
Gu Xuancheng stubbornly opened his eyes wide, and the dark pupils seemed to be dizzy: "...that is not a dream!"
Gu Yuan chuckled, eyes full of love, he lowered his hand, and handed the steel fan to Gu Xuancheng.
"Ignorance itself is a bliss."
He looked at Gu Xuancheng's expression and showed a gentle smile as his hands touched the steel fan.
"Brother, I really regret it. If I could have prevented you from going to Liuli Mountain, you...wouldn't have ended up like this."
When the words fell, the sharp blade of the steel fan slashed across Gu Xuancheng's throat the moment Gu Yuan waved his hand, and the scarlet blood seeped along Gu Xuancheng's clothes. He opened his eyes, his smile froze on his face, and then The turbidity surged, fragmenting the firelight into the silent darkness.
Gu Yuan looked down at him, threw the steel fan away as if it was dirty, and threw it beside Gu Xuancheng.
Soon, ice slowly formed around the steel fan and slowly devoured it.Those ice crystals are like a group of ants spreading and climbing continuously, climbing up Gu Xuancheng's clothes, hair, cheeks, freezing his skin inch by inch.
"Where's Wei Ling?" Gu Yuan asked.
A thick voice echoed around: "When the gate of hell closed, Zhu Wu rushed to swallow the curse. He is fine, and he should still be in a coma now."
Gu Yuan's eyes lit up: "That's really great."
The voice continued: "You promised Your Majesty that you would not do anything to him."
"It's nothing to do with others, it's his life that deserves to die." Gu Yuan smiled wryly and shook her head and said, "Yu Wu made a bet with me. If he doesn't die, I can't touch his people. Who would have expected this bet to be played for so many years?" , did not come to fruition."
Gu Xuancheng's body was surrounded by ice, more and more hoarfrost surged around him, and soon he turned into a giant dragon covered in ice, coiled in the narrow cave.
"You also lose bets sometimes?"
"I didn't lose." Gu Yuan rubbed her temples, turned around and stopped looking at Binglong: "However, being deceived by him is longer than the length of life, and I don't know how many thousand years it will take, but you see, he wanted to save him. My little lover, eat gluttonous food first, then swallow the gates of hell, even if he doesn't die this time, he will have to turn into a meowing little cat."
"Maybe he can escape back to the Demon Realm to save his life."
Gu Yuan frowned, and worried for a moment: "...forget it, cats have nine lives, and it's enough for him to waste a few more times."
The surrounding frost churned, layer upon layer among the rock walls and rocks.
Binglong asked him in a low voice: "What should I do next, inherit the throne as His Majesty wishes?"
Gu Yuan muttered to himself, and walked forward self-consciously: "At any rate, it's my brother's legacy, so it's natural to inherit it."
Binglong sneered: "Your brother just died in your hands."
Gu Yuan paused for a moment, then slowly turned her head to stare at the ice dragon, with a bit of murderous intent in her eyes, causing the ice dragon to freeze for a moment.But in the blink of an eye, the killing intent disappeared again, as if a wind had blown away the smoke, and faded into a smile without waves.
"My brother died long ago."
he said softly.
"No matter how long the dead body lives, it doesn't make sense."
The snow seeps into the coniferous forests and rustles with a gust of wind.
Gu Yuan walked out of the cave, choking on the cold so that she sneezed.This cave hidden next to the waterfall at the back of Xiting Mountain is guarded by an enchantment. The enchantment was made by Yu Wanfeng. Now that his demon power has dissipated, the power of the enchantment is also gradually dissipating. It's just that the streamer is moving at this moment. The water spray of the waterfall rippled in the air, as if a wandering hungry child smelled the fragrance of breastfeeding, a breeze blew up amidst the restlessness, smearing light and dust into Gu Yuan's eyes.
A figure appeared in his eyes, and soon a polite smile appeared on his face: "Brother."
Xia Zhou stepped out of the shadows, the faint halo of the enchantment illuminated his handsome yet evil face.He was carrying a black object in his hand, and he threw it in front of Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan was startled, covered her mouth and backed away, her smile disappeared immediately, leaving only a pretty face pale with fright.
"This is……?"
"People's hearts." The red light in Xia Zhou's eyes did not go away, and as he narrowed his eyes slightly, the black cloud of smoke and dust quickly dissipated, turning the stirring things inside into a hard crystal.
"People, people's hearts?"
"Well, the gate of hell is a collection of countless resentments. As long as you donate your heart, they will become independent beings, imitating the master of the 'heart', and living like a human being." Xia Zhou's eyes were full of smiles, his tone Li, however, pretended to be a little helpless: "I helped you get his heart back, and I wanted to save his life... Now it seems that I am late?"
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that this cat's acting skills were too bad, and it was clearly intentional to make people feel uncomfortable.
"Does what you promised me before still count?" Xia Zhou took another step forward, his black hair scattered, exuding the courage of a ghost.
Gu Yuan laughed and lowered her head to pick up the black crystal while laughing. In this cold winter, the crystal felt warm to the touch.Gu Yuan suddenly became interested and weighed it for a while, then suddenly raised her head, and said sincerely: "Forget it, of course, there is no need to be so strict in our friendship. Tell me, what else do you want from me?"
Xia Zhou said: "After I leave, I must keep A Ling safe."
Gu Yuan blinked, and said half-jokingly: "This is a bit of a shame, brother, the so-called willingness to gamble and admit defeat—"
"Nothing is willing to gamble and admit defeat. If you don't agree, with my current monster power, I still have the energy to play with you." After the words fell, a chill instantly enveloped Xia Zhou's surroundings.
"Ah, don't play, don't play, this king said casually, don't take it seriously." Gu Yuan was scared by him and took another step back, the smile on her face finally faded: "Brother, we have known each other for so long, You should also be aware of the virtues of this king who knows how to repay you, for example, this king likes the gift you gave me very much, and this king will naturally accept your little request."
Xia Zhou laughed lightly and didn't answer, that's all he wanted to say.After Gu Yuan's voice fell, the airflow in the forest suddenly increased, the flying snow blended with the black mist, and the surroundings were still shrouded in a powerful murderous aura that seemed to come from the abyss, Xia Zhou retreated into the darkness, the reddish eyes finally dimmed , just in an instant, it disappeared completely.
After a while, the forest returned to calm.
Gu Yuan felt cold and sneezed again.He rubbed his nose, then hummed a little song, and walked into the forest alone.
The sky is getting brighter and the snow is gradually subsiding.
The black mud mottled on the road has nowhere to escape under the light, slowly shrinking into the corners of the eaves, shrinking into the festering mud.
The demon sealing array in the sky collapsed, the breath of death covering Yudu dissipated, and the soldiers cleaned up the mess. Under the sunshine, more and more people woke up from their long sleep. They walked out of the house like a nightmare. After countless nights, it has come to an end.
There was a terrible scene near the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven, and blood seeped into the moat, dyeing the river red.
The bells in the city are ringing, which is a mournful cry to appease the dead.
In the next few days, the Xue family took the remnants of the soldiers busy with major and minor matters in the city. Someone else from the Taili Academy took over, but it is not known who it is.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or someone arranged in advance. The garrison in the north camped outside the city of Yudu, and was ordered by the military to assist in the reconstruction of Yudu. .
The night before the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, although Wei Ling was invited, he didn't show up until the end. Later, Shen Feihuan joked that no one dared to offend Gu Yuan before he became emperor. What a talent, if one day he died suddenly, it would most likely be Gu Yuan's revenge.
He also said: "Both you and Pavilion Master Xia look down on him too much. Although that person lives in a muddle-headed way, he has a nature of vengeance and is extremely cold-blooded."
These words did not sound like advice, but more like an answer to Wei Ling.
At this time, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and there were not many carriages leaving the city. What was amazing was that the carriage that Shen Feihuan brought was the one from before Prince You's Mansion, and the guards at the gate did not stop them at all when passing through the city gate.
"No one underestimates him. It's just that if he really wants to kill me, I may not be able to survive Jinchuan's catastrophe. The reason why I haven't touched me is that he doesn't want to kill, or he can't kill." Wei Ling held in his hand. Holding the flagon, lying on his back on the cushion in a daze, Zi Wan'er and Bai Li fell asleep beside him, breathing very lightly through the swaying curtain.
Shen Feihuan said: "Listen to my advice, since he let you go, don't come back."
Wei Ling was acquiescing, thinking about all the things Gu Yuan had done, maybe... it's a good thing not to be his enemy.
The carriage wobbled.
Through the window of the car, he could see the clear moon in the sky, and everything that happened in the past few days made him feel unreal.
About an hour ago, Shen Feihuan proposed to go with him. The reason was simple. He said that Xia Zhou had saved his life, so he came to send him out of the city. Anyway, it was late at night, and it was lonely without anyone to accompany him.
The words "no one to accompany me" made Wei Ling silent for a moment.Shen Feihuan was very clever, and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he made the mistake and continued: "The master of the pavilion has suffered a great loss of demon power, so he will definitely not stay in Yudu... Besides, if he is here, why doesn't he come to see you?"
Thinking of this, Wei Ling became a little more conscious. He opened the curtain of the carriage and climbed onto the roof of the carriage. The cool winter wind was blowing his hair, and he watched Yudu, who was illuminated by the fire, gradually go away.
"Is the eyeball Xia Zhou left for you still there?" Wei Ling asked Shen Feihuan.
"Hey, I forgot if you didn't tell me." Shen Feihuan fumbled inside her clothes and took out the knife: "I thought I lost it when I killed Yu Wanfeng, but luckily I went back to look for it, thinking my sister-in-law would keep a knife." Think about it."
"..." This kid really doesn't have good deeds.
Wei Ling took the eyeballs and poked them, but there was no response.Shen Fei comforted with a smile: "Most monsters are cultivated from all things. After death, they will turn into the original. The presence of eyeballs proves that they are still alive. They may be wandering in the world, or they may have returned to the demon realm."
Wei Ling let out a "hmm" and didn't comment.
"Shen Feihuan, you are not allowed to bully brother." Zi Wan'er's little head protruded from the carriage.
Shen Feihuan glanced at her, but before she could speak, she shrank back in fright.
After a while, Zi Wan'er's voice floated out of the carriage again sullenly: "Brother, let's not be with him anymore, he is a murderer, and sooner or later he will pay with blood. Let's go find Xia Mao Mao."
Shen Feihuan was amused by her: "Haha, there's no need to drive me away, after passing the post in front, Shen will just say goodbye."
Zi Wan'er: "Hmph, hurry up."
"If you talk about blood debts, I'm afraid I have paid more debts than any murderer in the world." Shen Feihuan took out the small flute that he carried with him, and twirled it in his hand: "People's pain can only be felt when they are alive." Will feel, death is a kind of relief, understand? Little brat."
"Nonsense! You're the brat! If you die, you'll lose everything. I don't want to sacrifice the chance to eat delicious food just because I'm afraid of pain."
Shen Feihuan rubbed his ears, and suddenly kicked the horse. The horse was startled, and the carriage was shaken.
Zi Wan'er screamed in fright, not daring to speak any more.
Shen Feihuan sighed maliciously: "Where did this stinky girl come from? It's really noisy."
"..."
Thinking about it, Zi Guaner met Wei Ling and the others only after she was hunted down by Shen Feihuan. Shen Feihuan probably forgot all about it.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you do a good job and take Xiaobai away. From now on, you will have both children, and you will never worry about being childless when you grow old." Shen Feihuan said while cleaning the flute.
He said this casually, but when Wei Ling heard it, there was an illusion of deliberately emphasizing it.
Wei Ling turned to look at him, under the silver moonlight, Shen Feihuan's figure seemed to be shrouded in a layer of darkness that couldn't be brightened.
"General Bai's whereabouts are unknown now, why don't you take Xiao Bai to find him?"
"Back then, Bai Lie saved my life, and I paid him back, so it's even..." Shen Feihuan said calmly, "Besides, I'm a disaster, whoever stays with me will have a bad life."
Bai Li in the carriage was still sleeping. The child must have been exhausted, and he didn't see any reaction when he carried it around before going out.
Wei Ling said: "He wakes up and clamors to see his parents, I don't have time to worry about it."
Shen Feihuan said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, he is much more sensible than his peers... He will definitely not cause you too much trouble."
At this point, Wei Ling finally understood.
Maybe Shen Feihuan's reason was to entrust Bai Li to him.
Although he didn't say a lot of things, Wei Ling was thinking that maybe the carriage in Prince You's Mansion was not a coincidence, nor was it a coincidence that no one was blocking the city gate.Now that Taotie is dead, the engraving on Shen Feihuan should have dissipated, but if there is still a demonic aura lingering around him...
Many thoughts fell to the bottom of my heart, but in the end no one brought them up again.
The night wind blows, and the sky is bright and vast.
The carriage moved slowly along the road.
After a while, Shen Feihuan played the flute, and the melodious sound of the flute made the silent night no longer lonely.
Wei Ling thought that he must have drunk too much, Shen Feihuan's flute sounded so sad, he put down the flagon in silence, and took out that little eyeball again.
Summer cat, summer cat.
Wherever you go, I will find you.
……
……
There was a heavy humidity in the air.
It was as if the heavy snow had receded, and the weight of the whole winter was here.
When Bai Lie woke up, he was lying on the rickety carriage. It was a corpse carriage. There were other corpses beside him. Although he was conscious, his whole body was in pain. When he opened his eyes, he felt The sun above his head was extremely dazzling, as if he was still living in a dream, which had not subsided for a long time.
"do not move."
The man with the carriage spoke to him.
"Let's go out of the city like this, all the way to the north, the world is so big, we always have to look around."
Bai Lie absolutely didn't want to hear that voice at this time, but he was exhausted and didn't want to talk to him.
Why are you still alive.
He felt strange.
But the other party replied in a low voice, as if he could see through his mind, "The thing is in the palm of your left hand."
Hearing this sentence, Bai Lie moved his fingers, and then slowly raised them up.
The necklace dangled from his blood-stained fingers.
"..."
When will the child be returned to him?
Bai Lie suddenly felt it was funny, and slowly recalled Bai Li's immature but resolute eyes in his muddy consciousness.
"Be more serious about pretending to be dead."
His hand was caught by someone, and he put it back to his side. The man leaning over showed a mocking smile, his eyes were crimson, showing a demon that couldn't go away.
"Where are you... taking me?" Bai Lie asked him.
"This place is too unlucky, I have to pay attention to the scenery when I eat."
"Ah."
"why are you laughing."
"…nothing."
The man was not happy when he heard it: "Do you think your mortal body can withstand the gate of hell? Kneel down and thank me after you recover from your injury. I am a peerless beast. Meeting me is your blessing through the ages." .”
After Bai Lie talked to him a few words, he was already dizzy and confused, and the man behind him was still chattering non-stop, but he couldn't hear clearly anymore.
Mere demons...
he thought to himself.
After he recovers, he must be killed with his own hands.
[Glass City in half a year]
In the past few years, such a passage has always been circulated at the foot of Liuli Mountain.
Immortals chasing demon kings away, there is no pure land in the world.
Later, the most famous storyteller in the city explained that this did not come from any poem or any rumor at all, it was a sign from the heavens, which clearly pointed out that the immortals on Liuli Mountain were bewitched by the demon king, and abandoned them to the mortal world.
People in Liuli City have always regarded this as a joke.Now that the new emperor is enthroned, the eastern border is destroyed, the demon gate is sealed, and the border war is gradually returning to peace. Seeing that the peaceful and prosperous age is approaching, how can people take any rumors of ghosts and ghosts to their hearts? The pat on the chest was quickly forgotten.
What's more, Liuli Mountain is a fairy mountain, and there are many newly recruited apprentices, which can be seen in the city from time to time. Even if there are real demons coming into the world, if they are afraid of provoking them, they still have to learn how to behave like humans.
However, a few days ago, it was suddenly rumored that a cat demon was in trouble and stole a house of wine in the wine alley next door. Liulishan sent people to investigate, but in the end they couldn't find out why.
At this point in the story, Li Zhongqing, the storyteller, picked up the teapot and took a sip of water. The audience below all stared. There are monsters?The people in Liulicheng half believed it, and they couldn't hide their curiosity. The tavern was full today, just to see what new information Li Zhongqing could find.
"As early as a few years ago, the enchantment of the demon gate fluctuated, and most of the monsters hidden in the human world returned to the demon domain, and the ones left today are more or less monsters with extremely high cultivation levels. I don't think it's easy for the cat monster , maybe—it’s a big evil monster that can eat people.”
Seeing that everyone below was listening seriously, Li Zhongqing couldn't help but accentuate his tone.
"He couldn't be talking about Xia Zhou."
It was Zi Wan'er who was sitting in the cubicle who was talking, unexpectedly, she would listen to the bragging of the book with relish.
"How can the majestic demon king be reduced to stealing people's wine? I don't think so." Yuan Chun held his chin, playing with chopsticks boredly.
Coincidentally, after Yuan Chun left Yudu, she pretended to be a Taoist priest and mercilessly slaughtered people for a large sum of money on the grounds of subjugating demons. She lived a chic life. A few days ago, she saw A cat hunting notice at a sky-high price. I thought it would be profitable, but I didn't expect to meet Zi Wan'er.
The cat I want to look for is not a meowing wild cat on the roadside.
……
Find a chance and run away, Yuan Chun thought silently.She never wants to have anything to do with Zhu Wu in this life.
Zi Wan'er pursed her lips at this time, with a sad expression: "That's right, Xia Maomao likes my brother so much, why hasn't he shown up for so long, is he dead...or has gone back to the Demon Realm."
Yuan Chun rolled his eyes at the sky: "Nine times out of ten, he is dead."
Zi Wan'er was sad: "Then what about my brother?"
Yuan Chun's sorrows and joys were not connected with hers: "What should I do? With his looks, it would be a waste not to marry three wives and six concubines. A big man, why did he hang himself on a stinky cat?"
Zi Wan'er stared, but she was a little angry: "You don't know anything."
Yuan Chun: "Huh?"
Zi Wan'er: "It's been half a year, and my brother hasn't let go of any clues to find him. If, if this happens again, I'm afraid I really have to go to the Demon Realm to find him."
"How can it be so easy to go to the Demon Realm? Wei Ling is a human being, and the enchantment of the Demon Gate is thousands of years, er, or a hundred years? Anyway, it only opens once in a long time. By the time he goes to the Demon Realm, I'm afraid he will already be old."
Yuan Chun is not living for a living. She really has no hope of finding Zhuwu, and she doesn't want the money anymore. What a cat-hunting notice, it's a waste of time and life. It's best to be with this group of people forever Don't meet each other, life is short, don't delay too long on messy things.
In fact, if Yuan Chun and Zi Wan'er really went to find the cat that stole the wine, they might really have a chance to find Xia Zhou.
Since the end of the Yudu Rebellion, Xia Zhou's monster power has been severely injured, not to mention turning into a human being, even being a lively kitten is enough for him.This embarrassment, of course, cannot be seen by Wei Ling. He has thought of ways to restore his demonic nature, but after much deliberation, if he kills and eats people and let Wei Ling know, he will have to be scolded. After the demon power is exhausted, I'm afraid he will really turn into a kitten who starves to death by the side of the road.
How to do it.
Xia Zhou thought, maybe he should go back to the demon domain, return to his own demon hall to recover, and wait for the next opportunity - if someone recruits a demon again, no matter who it is, he should respond first, and then figure out a way when he comes to the world .
So, in half a year, Xiazhou traveled long distances, from Yudu to Liuli City, and then from Liuli City back to Seam Cloud Mountain, but the demon power passed too quickly, and he lost his mind several times on the way, chasing the mouse's butt uncontrollably .
He stayed in Liuli Mountain for a long time, went to Shuiyue Pavilion, saw that the disciples he had taken in were still living there, went to the foot of Liuli Mountain, and found that the barrier had been reset, and he couldn't go up the mountain even if he wanted to , In the end, he went to the restaurant to steal wine and drank. When he was drunk, he stood on the roof and meowed. When he was tired, he lay down on the cold roof and slept.
He really missed Wei Ling.
Familiar streets, familiar shops, familiar mountains, water, and bushes in Liuli City.
Unknowingly, Xia Zhou stayed in Liuli City for too long, until someone spread the story of the cat demon to Liuli Mountain, and the little Taoist priests on the mountain chased him in groups in the city. He left Liuli City without hesitation and continued to go up Seam Cloud Mountain.
It was hot summer then.
But there was still heavy snow falling on Seam Cloud Mountain.
Xia Zhou's legs and feet were weak, and he walked hard on the snow. His demon nature completely disappeared, and only the purest strength of a cat remained in his body. After a lot of hard work, he finally arrived at Cangming Temple, but found that the barrier that sealed the demon gate did not respond.
correct.
He has lost all his demonic power, and is no different from an ordinary kitten now.
He couldn't pass through the enchantment of the demon gate, and sooner or later he would freeze to death in the ice and snow.
Xia Zhou raised his head and meowed at the demon door several times, sweeping his tail back and forth in the snow, and waited for a while, but there was still no movement from the demon gate.
The ferocious beast Wuwu died so tragically in the world, if Chaos knew about it, he would laugh at him for thousands of years.
So what.
If he really died, he lost the bet with Gu Yuan, and that terrifying monster would never let Wei Ling go.
Xia Zhou stumbled and walked back to Cangming Temple, he thought, if he wants to die, he must find a place where no one will find out and die quietly, so that he can hide from the world and no one will know.
He stepped on the rotten wooden floor and walked into Cangming Temple, but he was so tired that he lay on the ground as soon as he entered.
The snow fell silently, and the world was so silent that it was frightening.
His vision was blurred, looking at the white snow outside the house.
Many years ago, there were demons with nowhere to go, desperate people.
The kitten curled up and hid in his arms.
The kitten's warm fur is all he can rely on.
Dressed in white, similar to the flawless winter scene.
The kitten is always chasing him, as if once it stops, it will lose its trace in this chaotic world.
"Aling..."
He called out this name dreamily, and seemed to hear footsteps in a daze.
But Xia Zhou couldn't open his eyes, only his tail was moving slightly.
Wei Ling held an umbrella in his hand, and the falling snow fell on the umbrella, tilting and falling when he let go of his hand slightly.
He lowered his body, his cold fingertips touched Xia Zhou's soft fur, touched his neck, and rubbed it like a dragonfly.
"You can really run."
He felt Xia Zhou rubbing against his hand.
Maybe it was falling into a dream, the movement was very light, but it seemed to be entangled with him with all his strength.
"Come home with me."
The snow keeps falling, as if winter will never go away, and spring will never come again.
But time goes on, day after day.
The ice of the river melted, and it was cold and froze again.
The snow blows off the trees, and the trail is covered again.
Memories are intertwined, tossed and turned day and night.
I returned as scheduled, this is the meaning of meeting.
