Dragon Slay

The howling wind made the wind chimes on the eaves jingle non-stop. Chang Li sat on the railing, a cold moon hung on the top of a dead tree, and the jackdaws in the nest uttered hoarse calls.Pulling up the hem of the clothes, Chang Liwei raised his head and smiled softly.

The footsteps were very light, as if deliberately slowed down.She thought it was Chang Xiao, but when she turned around, it was Long Su's timid expression that caught her eyes.Dragons, time will not leave any traces on them.In her ninth day, she should also live forever, instead of being in a coma like she is now.Chang Li sighed and looked away.She is Chu Jiu's mother. Although she doesn't remember anything, the blood bond has always existed. She came here at night with her mother on her back just to visit Chu Jiu.

"You... are you Chang Xiao's daughter?" Long Su stopped a few steps away from Chang Chang. Instead of pushing the door to enter the room, she tilted her head and asked this question.Her expression was still cautious, and her hands tightly clutching her sleeves also revealed her nervousness.

"Huh?" Chang Changli was startled, nodded and said, "Yes, she is my mother."

"I seem to have seen you before, when you were very young." Long Su stretched out his hand and gestured, his eyes were soft, and a faint smile appeared on his face.She boldly took a few steps forward. Although the face of the person in front of her looked exactly like Chang Xiao, her aura was pure, not like Chang Xiao's gloomy and deep.

Chang Li didn't know how to answer, so he just nodded slightly.She heard it from Chang Xiao's mouth, Long Su lost half of the dragon ball, her memory was also damaged, she couldn't remember too many things.For more than ten years, she couldn't even maintain a human form, but could only float on the stone wall.People of the Dragon Clan have a lot of fate. If Jiu'er knew what her mother had gone through, she wouldn't know how uncomfortable it would be.Jiu'er, Jiu'er, when will she wake up?

"Inside, are my clansmen?" Long Su asked again, her eyebrows twitched, she pressed her hand to her heart, and then she was at a loss again, "It hurts, but I can't feel the beating."

"Yes, Jiu'er is a dragon." Chang Li nodded, a little surprised.Didn't mother tell her that Jiu'er is her daughter?Or is my guess wrong?Long Su is actually a clansman and has nothing to do with Jiu'er?

"There will be no more dragons in this world." Long Su said in a low voice. "Why is this place called Dragon Slaying Valley? Do the people here actually make a living by slaying dragons? Why is that?" There were many questions in her mind, but she didn't dare to ask Chang Xiao, for fear of attracting her get angry.

"I don't know." Chang Changli shook his head, saw Long Su's eyes were red, and was afraid of making her cry, so he hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "Do you want to go in and see Jiu'er? By the way, you are also from the Dragon Clan, you You should know about Dragon Ball—" Chang Li suddenly remembered that he hadn't told his mother about it.Perhaps Long Su knows more than mother.

"No need." A cold tone came over, and a trace of panic flashed across Long Su's face, and he leaned aside helplessly like a child who had done something wrong.

There was strong anger on Chang Xiao's face, and she was restrained enough.But when he saw Long Su running out of the house in the middle of the night wearing only thin clothes, he felt all kinds of emotions in his heart swell. "Come here." She lowered her voice, and seeing Long Su standing still, she quickly walked to her side, took off her long gown and put it on her body.She hugged Long Su and walked a few steps, then turned around suddenly, and said coldly to Chang Changli, "You don't need to stay here anymore, you can go back to sleep too."

"Yes." Chang Changli answered with her head lowered, she walked into the room and tucked the brocade quilt on Chu Jiu's body, and after a long while, she put out the candle and walked out of the room.Leaning against the door, she sighed deeply.The cold wind blows on the face like a knife cut in half.There was a tired look on her face, she had been back to Dragon Slaying Valley for several days, and Jiu'er's injury hadn't improved at all, how could she sleep peacefully?

There is a long distance between Chang Li's residence and the yard where Chang Xiao lives, and the trees in front of the court cast mottled shadows.The strange branches were slanting, and the strange birds in the valley would laugh loudly from time to time.Chang Li pulled out his Lushuang knife and started to dance in front of the court.The moonlight and the light of the knife are intertwined, and the vigorous branches tremble.The dead leaves on the ground were swept into the air, and suddenly shot out like a rain of arrows and nailed to the trees.It's common for Li's mind to be chaotic, and there is no way to speak of his every move.She closed her eyes, relying only on hearing to determine the location.

Sweating profusely, she seemed to be ignorant of her fatigue as she waved the Frost Knife, venting all the resentment in her heart until she lay down on the cold ground exhausted.Move your fingertips, let alone stand up again, you can't even hold the handle of the knife.She blinked, looking at the streamer piercing the sky, her mind became a little bit heavy.The inner breath travels through the veins, and the dantian is warm.Jiu'er's dragon ball is still in his body, warming his veins.

Chang Li was awakened by a chirping sound, she opened her sleepy eyes, and saw a few little sparrows dancing around her.His body was covered with dust, and he looked extremely destitute.Lying on the ground in the open air all night, she didn't even know when she fell into a dream.After lying down for a long time, she jumped up and brought water to wash away the filth all over her body.

Her wet hair was draped behind her, and she casually rolled up a towel to wipe it off, and hurried towards the courtyard where Jiu'er was. "Jiu'er?" When she got up every day, she thought that Jiu'er had woken up, and she was no longer as pale and weak as she was lying on the bed.When seeing the empty mattress, Changli's first thought is that Jiu'er has recovered from his injury.She went around the yard several times, and asked a few people, but they just shook their heads silently.There was no one around, and in the end, her smile froze on her face.

"What are you shouting about?" Chang Xiao stood under a withered sycamore tree in front of the court and shouted coldly.She was still wearing the black dress she wore last night, with her hands behind her back, her brows furrowed tightly.

A gleam of hope floated in Chang Chang's centrifugation, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, she quickly felt Chang Xiao's face, and asked eagerly: "Mother, have you seen Jiu'er? Do you know where she is?" ?”

"How do I know?" Chang Xiao got a little impatient, stared down at Chang Li, and sneered, "Isn't she in that room, your own people don't even look down on her, and you asked about me instead?"

"No, not in the house." Chang Li panicked, she took a few steps back, turned around and ran back into the house.Lifting off the already cold quilt, she bypassed the folded screen and searched for hiding places in the room. "No, still not..." She hurried out again, only to see Chang Xiao and Long Su talking and laughing beside the swing. "Mother..." Chang Li called out.

"Maybe she woke up by herself and left this Dragon Slaying Valley." Chang Xiao replied casually, without even looking at the flustered and distracted Chang Li.

"Why?" Chang Li pressed his heart, his face full of depression.

"Where are you going?" Chang Xiao shouted at her leaving figure.

"I'm going to find Jiu'er!" Chang Li replied loudly, without looking back, her figure quickly disappeared into the courtyard.

"She's gone." Long Su narrowed his eyes and said softly.

"It's fine to leave, this place is not suitable for her." Chang Xiao responded lightly, not thinking too deeply about this topic.Long Su saw through her thoughts, so she choked back the words she wanted to confide, and only sighed softly, "It's cold, will it snow in the valley?"

There was a rustle and a rustle.

The snowflakes drifted all night, covering the mountain peak with a layer of boundless snow.

Balls of snow rolled down from the hillside, and with a rustling movement, a figure emerged from the forest covered with snow on the branches.Wu Xuanhuang narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the mountain peak where the clouds were accumulating, and shook the fine snowflakes on his clothes.She stood there and waited for a long time before she saw Duan Yuqing walking Shi Shiran on the mountain path holding a bamboo umbrella.

"I told you a long time ago that the legacy of the Yunmiao Sect is unreliable. When Mu Qing and the disciples of the Yunmiao Sect were in trouble, she ran away in despair. Tsk tsk, she was talking about Taiyi Sect. Revenge, but in the end, she gave up everything she got." Wu Xuanhuang got under the umbrella, held Duan Yuqing's cold fingers, and said with a bit of schadenfreude.

"When did you say that?" Duan Yuqing glanced at her, and said slowly, "Furthermore, what you should be worried about is not the Yunmiao Sect, but the people of your Wumen, right? Nearly half a month has passed. There is no movement." Not only did the two of them disappear suddenly, but even the news of Duanyang Villa and Lingjian Palace was rarely circulated in the Jianghu.She didn't think that everything had stopped, this sudden silence seemed to be a sign of an impending storm.

"Before." After Wu Xuanhuang sneered, he fell into silence.She blinked, hiding the worry in her eyes.The elders of Wumen don't listen to her young master, let alone listen to her aunt.What I said before, I am afraid that I am playing the piano with a cow, right?Now I can only hope that I will see Li on her face and let everyone in the Wumen go.

"Martial arts? Longevity? What do you think these people are after?"

A sigh was blown away by the cold wind, and the figure gradually faded away, leaving only a few strings of deep or shallow footprints on the snow.
