twilight endless

In the 25th year of Wuxing, the winter festival is approaching, all officials are dead, and the commercial market is temporarily closed. From the high-ranking officials to the common people in the market, they are all busy with family reunions and visiting relatives and friends.Even though the north wind was cold, it still couldn't stop the joyous and hasty footsteps in the capital, but those who passed by Prince Xun's mansion all involuntarily slowed down a little.What attracted them was not the tall and shiny horse, nor the gorgeous carriage with the word "Shen" on it, but the two people standing in front of the door.

One is a tall and handsome young man, and the other is an exquisite girl carved in powder and jade.I don't know how long they stood in front of the door, but the little girl seemed a little cold, so she moved closer to the young man.

"Rui'er." Xi Yuan gently shook Rui'er's hand, and asked in a childish voice, "How long do we have to wait?"

"Wait a little longer." Rui'er knelt down, tightened the hat on Xi Yuan, and said with a smile, "The Master is here to worship the Winter Festival, King Xun will not let us in."

"But...uncle doesn't open the door every time." Xi Yuan's round face was clouded with gloom, she hesitated for a long time, she tiptoed to Rui'er's ear, and said softly, "Rui'er, I'm afraid. "

Rui'er's hand that was supporting Xi Yuan suddenly clenched into a fist, and then let go after a while, still looking at Xi Yuan with a smile, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Rui'er is with Lord Weng."

Xi Yuan pursed her mouth and nodded, and buried her head in Rui'er's arms.Rui'er gathered up her cloak, to protect herself from the cold wind from the north, and looked at the closed gate of Prince Xun's mansion, feeling uncontrollable sorrow in her heart.

In the mansion, Wu Chang'an, the chief official of King Xun's mansion, hurried through the corridor, and at a glance, he saw Zhou Ji in his unlined clothes, sitting on a stone bench in the garden blowing the northwest wind, but staring at an old saber on the stone table in front of him, and Standing under the wall next to Zhou Yu's servant, Diao Qiu who was hugging Zhou Ji was trembling.

"Oh my lord!" Wu Chang'an snatched the sable fur from the servant's hand and wrapped Zhou Yu tightly without any explanation, and complained, "It's such a cold day, what is your lord doing!"

"Is it cold?" Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and tore off the sable fur, and asked Wu Chang'an, "Is it the cold wind in the western pass of Sichuan, or the cold in the jail?"

"It's cold!" Wu Chang'an insisted on wrapping the sable fur back, and said with some distress and helplessness, "His Highness is messing around with his own body, and he's sick from the cold, and he won't be able to go to the palace banquet tomorrow."

"That's just right!" Zhou Kai drew out the saber on the stone table, a cold light overflowed from the blade, but it didn't cool Zhou Ji's voice, "I don't want to see those pickled scum." Then he danced the sword.

The boundless hatred of Zhou Yu was wrapped in Sen Liangjian's mind. The martial arts and wise father, the beautiful and kind mother, and the elder brother who is omnipotent in martial arts and martial arts, are all in that place. The winter night is gone.Also disappearing was a boy who sneaked out from the hair tie ceremony.The golden figure descending from the sky in the forest of God's vision, the laughing and talking in Qianluozhuang, and the slightly drooping eyes that gleamed when seeing delicious food, were all buried in the snow of winter night by Zhou Yu.One cold winter after another, Zhou Yu repeatedly sharpened, and the snow eventually turned into solid ice, without a single gap.

During the years of staying behind closed doors, Zhou Yu silently built a high wall in King Xun's mansion, with thorn traps all over the inside and outside of the high wall.Rui'er outside the wall felt the swan song and roar from the other half of the Yin-Yang sword from his saber, gently pulled Xi Yuan into his arms, and whispered: "Master, let's go back."

The next day at the Winter Festival Palace Banquet, Zhou Yu did not come due to illness.After hearing Zhou Chu's report, Emperor Wu Xing snorted coldly and said: "It's such a cold winter, Jingmeng ran to sit in the courtyard all night, is his Chang Sui dead?"

"Report to Emperor Father." Zhou Yu leaned back and said, "King Xun has not been with him."

"What?" Emperor Wu Xing was slightly annoyed, and looked at Shi Zhangzhi beside him, "Yushen, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty." Shi Zhangzhi, the imperial god of the World Spirit Hall, leaned on the ground, and replied, "According to the regulations, the prince will get a half-demon follower when he reaches fifteen years of hair ceremony. The World Spirit Hall has been selected by King Xun two years ago. The half-demon always follows, but..."

"But what?" Seeing Shi Zhangzhi hesitated to speak, Emperor Wu Xing said slowly, "You can just say it."

"Yes." Shi Zhangzhi thanked him, and then continued, "But King Xun refused to reincarnate several times, and he suffered a serious illness the day before the hair tie ceremony, so he missed it."

"It's really rigid." After hearing this, Emperor Wu Xing became even more annoyed, "Can't you wait for him to heal before holding the hair tie ceremony?"

"Your Majesty, the World Spirit Hall is indeed doing this, but..." Shi Zhangzhi said in embarrassment, "Every time the date is re-selected, King Xun always happens to be ill. After several times, Zhang Zhi dare not disturb King Xun again. .”

"Nonsense!" Emperor Wu Xing's slight annoyance turned into anger, he suddenly pointed his finger at Zhou Chu, and said angrily, "This one is to pretend to be the Seven Killing Army and not to be a half-monster, and that one actually pretended to be sick for two years. It’s unreasonable not to let me worry about each of them!” Emperor Wu Xing snapped a few cases, and said to Shi Zhangzhi, “Since King Xun is so stubborn, there is no need to give him the haircut. Choose a half-demon for him to follow, and make a contract as soon as possible." Emperor Wu Xing turned to Zhou Yu again, "You go to spread my will, and you will also escort him to Reincarnation Lake!"

"Yes." Zhou Chu and Shi Zhangzhi took orders at the same time.

After the palace banquet, Shi Zhangzhi went back to the World Spirit Hall, and summoned Bai Yuheng, the half-demon chief teacher of Qianluozhuang, overnight.

Bai Yuheng was rumored in the middle of the night, and he didn't know what happened. He was startled in his heart, and after hearing Shi Zhangzhi's intentions, he became even more uneasy, and hurriedly leaned back and said, "The selection of the emperor and the half-demon has always been made by the imperial gods and imperial palaces. After discussing the decision, Yu Heng dare not argue."

"The reason why I called you here in the middle of the night is because I didn't want Liang Zesheng to participate." Shi Zhangzhi said straight to the point, "As for why, I don't need to say more?"

Shi Zhangzhi's frankness made Bai Yuheng a little hard to digest for a while, and after a while, he said, "I don't know what Yushen wants Yu Heng to do?"

"If I remember correctly, you have been a Disciplinary Spiritualist in Qianluozhuang since you were awarded the rank, and it has been a while since you were promoted to the head teacher. You should know everything about the disciplined spiritualists and half-monsters in Qianluozhuang. .”

"Dare not to slack off within your duties."

"That's good." Shi Zhangzhi said very straightforwardly, "Choose a half-demon brought out by a discipline spiritual master with a clean background."

There is no need to pick and choose, that is, King Xun's half-demon Changshou, Na Luoluo is the best.The only thing to do is how to make everyone feel that this candidate is the best.Bai Yuheng held back the anxiety in his heart, let out a long breath secretly, calmed down again, and said respectfully: "If you have such concerns, the candidate must be Luo Luo."

"Who is the discipline spiritual master?"

"it's me."

Shi Zhangzhi was silent, and asked after a while, "How are you going to convince the crowd?"

Bai Yuheng had already thought about this question just now, but he didn't rush to answer. Instead, he thought about the answer again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said: "According to the usual practice, half-demons often follow more than 20-year-old half-demons." Selection within the demon, Luo Luo has only met the fourth prince with a haircut since she turned 20 years old, but she was not selected that time. Now that Luo Luo is over 24, if she can't be selected this time, she will serve as the Seven Killers. But in today's Qianluozhuang, the papers and martial arts are all the best, so it's a pity that such a talented person is exiled to the army."

What Bai Yuheng said was the truth, Shi Zhangzhi thought about it, and felt that there was no doubt, nodded and said: "Well, the reasons you said are all true, and Liang Zesheng probably won't be able to refute them, so I will tell him tomorrow. You go back and prepare, the reincarnation ceremony will be held soon."

"Yes." Bai Yuheng bowed and withdrew, looking at the sky full of stars, his relieved relief was mixed with secret joy and a sense of powerlessness being played by good fortune.When King Xun tied his hair, Bai Yuheng spoke lightly and could not recommend Luoluo. Fortunately, King Xun delayed the reincarnation of a half-demon and the hair tie for two years due to his serious illness, and the candidate at that time was gone.Later, it was the eighth prince's hair tie ceremony, Zesheng Yudian personally chose the half-demon for his nephew, and it was not Luoluo's turn.Bai Yuheng was still feeling sorry for Luoluo who was about to fill up the Seven Killers, but who knows that there is another village, and the two childhood sweethearts still bump into each other after going around, it really is unpredictable.

"Great." Bai Yuheng clasped his hands together, and prayed to the star official in the sky, "May God bless you this time, so that there will be no more such ordeals, so that Luo Luo can accompany King Xun to complete his life, I don’t seek power and glory, but I seek peace in my old age. If God allows it, I, Bai Yuheng, wish..."

"I've been listening to his senior brother Su Cheng all my life." Su Sheng appeared out of nowhere, and whispered the second half of the sentence next to Bai Yuheng's ear.

In the middle of the night, on the path of God's View Forest, a head suddenly appeared behind him, and Bai Yuheng's three souls and seven spirits were half scared, and he even pulled out his saber in a hurry, but Su Sheng held his hand and inserted it back.The whole set of movements was done in one go, and Bai Yuheng finally saw that it was Su Sheng, but when he turned around, his legs went limp.

Seeing this, Su Sheng stretched out his hand to pick him up and pulled him into his arms, and said strangely: "What's wrong with you? Yushen made things difficult for you?"

"No." Looking at Su Cheng's wolf-tailed appearance, Bai Yuheng dared not be angry or speak out, and said while reassuring his soul with his inner breath, "It's a good thing."

"What a good thing?" Su Sheng wondered, "It can make you vow to listen to me for the rest of your life."

Bai Yuheng was stunned when he heard that, he blinked his big eyes and looked at Su Sheng, then clasped his hands together, and continued the prayer just now: "What I asked just now is not counted, I only ask God to give me supernatural power, so that I can fight... Ah!" Before Bai Yuheng finished speaking, Su Sheng pinched him hard on the waist.

"Yu Heng, you're not being good." Su Cheng looked down at Bai Yuheng, and said with a sinister smile, "How can you be insincere in your prayers? Come on, repeat."

"Senior brother..." Bai Yuheng felt Su Sheng's condescending coercion, and begged for mercy with a mournful face, "I was wrong."

Su Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth contentedly, let go of Bai Yuheng, and said seriously, "My wish has been fulfilled?"

"Yeah." Bai Yuheng finally laughed, "I'll tell Luo Luo when I get back."

Seeing Bai Yuheng's smirk, Su Cheng also smiled slightly.

"Huh?" While talking and walking, he was about to reach Qianluozhuang, when Bai Yuheng found out the problem, and asked Su Sheng in puzzlement, "Brother, why are you hanging out in the Forest of Gods in the middle of the night?"

"Isn't it because you are afraid that you won't dare to walk at night?" Su Sheng said calmly.

Bai Yuheng stayed in the moment, and after a while he said cautiously: "Senior brother, the most terrifying thing is to have you on the road at night."

"Tsk!"
