Those who know, be calm
Work related
God can't bear it. "
Jiang Qingmei looked at her slender fingers with a regretful expression, "It would be great if I could be as strong as you."
Xi Yan sighed softly, being strong also has a price, "Can you tell me about the lecturer and the shadow guard?"
"Hey, sir, don't you know, the magician is too fragile, especially in the process of performing the spell, he has no power to protect himself, so he needs a shadow guard to protect him. The magician and the shadow guard can say It's the most intimate relationship."
No wonder, I used to be alone in the temple without anyone hindering me, but I suffered a lot from fighting Zhan Yunyi several times.
Jiang Qingmei caressed the broken curse seal on her arm, "Shadowkeeper and magician are usually connected to each other through the concentric spell, which means that they are of the same mind," she said with a wry smile, "but ah, the spirit of the magician can't bear such a strong Therefore, at the age of 30, you will close your spiritual veins and return to being an ordinary person."
"What about the shadow guard?" Xi Yan couldn't help asking.
"The fate of a Shadow Keeper is to sacrifice. Almost all of them die to protect their sorcerers. A sorcerer may have many Shadow Keepers, but a Shadow Keeper will only protect one Warlock throughout his life."
It was the first time I heard about this kind of thing, Xi Yan was a little shocked, "Then Miss Jiang, your shadow guard..."
"She's gone." Jiang Qingmei's voice was a little choked up, and Xi Yan didn't know how to comfort her for a while.
"Here we come!" Jiang Qingmei immediately put away her fragile expression, her eyes were sharp, and dozens of assassins were approaching outside the door.
The female gentleman's smile was free of impurities, clean and holy, and the white color made Zhan Yunyi feel a little dazzling.
"Brother Yunyi, since when did you stop calling me by my name, it's so natural."
Zhan Yunyi hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "You are a queen, but I am just a foreigner, how dare you surpass her."
The lady couldn't help laughing, "Are you taking revenge on my father?"
Zhan Yunyi looked at her speechlessly, and there was no wave in her dark green eyes, "I have always been a person who holds grudges alone, so why should the lady joke."
"Sigh, brother Yunyi is still the same," Nujun smiled helplessly, "It's the same as when I was a child, when I first saw you..."
"Don't mention the past again." Zhan Yunyi interrupted her bluntly, with a stern look on her face, as if some bad memory had been mentioned.
The lady was so frightened by Zhan Yunyi who suddenly showed a fierce look, she couldn't help trembling, "Brother Yunyi..." She thought of the time when she first saw Zhan Yunyi many years ago, when she was hiding in Qianjiang Behind the master, he secretly looked at the child of unknown origin. The thin child had a pair of terrifying dark green eyes, as if he harbored deep hostility towards everyone, and he glared viciously at others like a wounded wolf.But only Huan Chao knew that this child was actually frail and frightening, unable to sleep every night, curled up into a ball, trembling and crying.
Zhan Yunyi finally realized her gaffe, rubbed between her brows, and put on a cynical smile, "Today is a big day, what do you want to do?"
"Yes, today is a big day." The lady smiled weakly, "Father must have been killed by you."
The lady said it as if nothing had happened, but Zhan Yunyi's smile faltered, "We are just following the lord's wishes. Prime Minister Zuo tried to break Liangchuan's rules, so he will naturally be punished."
"I knew it would be like this," the lady forced a smile, her face was pale, "Brother Yunyi, Liangchuan has never believed in God, why has he obeyed the control of that adult for thousands of years, my father I just want to break this paradox and let Liangchuan go out, there is nothing wrong with that."
"Do you know what kind of disaster you and your father will bring to Liangchuan? Going out means that we will also be bound by Tianjing's prophecy. Do you want Liangchuan to be trapped in the so-called Under the shadow of fate?" Zhan Yunyi gritted his teeth, as if he hated it deeply, "This world is involuntary, and I don't want to care about it after seeing this point. What happens to Liangchuan has nothing to do with me, I just hope to keep it What I hold dear."
"Doesn't this include me?" The lady looked at Zhan Yunyi expectantly.
"..." Zhan Yunyi looked at this innocent child-like female monarch, and couldn't bear to say anything else. His purpose this time was to kill the female monarch and completely eradicate the leftist faction.It was originally Qian Jiangyue's task, but it was snatched by Zhan Yunyi. He knows Qian Jiangyue too well. My child, he will feel uncomfortable, why not himself, but let him bear all the sins alone, and he suddenly thought of what Xi Yan often said: It's not a big deal.Zhan Yunyi couldn't help laughing.
"Well, I know you don't want to lie to me. I didn't do this for any righteousness. I just hope that you will no longer be restrained," the lady didn't notice Zhan Yunyi's gentle smile, but said to herself , "However, your answer is exactly the same as Master Zhizhi."
"Huh?" Hearing the word "knowledge", Zhan Yunyi regained his composure and restrained his smile.
"Yesterday, I went to see Lord Zhizhe and chatted with him for a while. He can really calm people down. He is really a gentle person."
"..." Zhan Yunyi was speechless again. You wouldn't think so if you saw him blowing his hair, but Xi Yan looked like a sympathetic prophet in front of others, and that unfathomable expression could definitely fool you There are many people living here, probably a qualified magic stick.
"But Lord Zhizhe is also a very cute person, no wonder you like him so much."
Hearing these words, Xi Yan would probably go berserk again.
The lady coughed twice, and her face became paler, "Sometimes I really miss the time when we were together, Master Qianjiang, Master Xiaoling, Brother Yue, Brother Right Xiang, we are all still together, why do we have to be together now? Are you dead or alive?"
Zhan Yunyi's face darkened, "Tell me what the right minister is doing, you disgusting guy."
The female gentleman couldn't help laughing, these two people still couldn't deal with each other after so many years. "It's better not to mention him," the lady hesitated, "Brother Yunyi, we are getting married today, can you... give me a hug?"
Zhan Yunyi looked at her silently, sighed softly, stepped forward and hugged her, the female gentleman's body was thin, he was afraid that this person would break if he hugged her hard, he thought of Xi Yan, he also had the same feeling Painfully thin body.Zhan Yunyi was thinking, the Bailu knife in her sleeve came out of its sheath, and the cold point of the knife pierced her back, as if it was cold, the female monarch shivered, and the dark red blood soaked through her clothes.
"Thank you." The female gentleman's voice was inaudible, Zhan Yunyi pulled out the knife ruthlessly, and the female ruler couldn't bear it any longer and fell into his arms, "This ending is not bad... I can die in your arms. "The lady spoke intermittently.
"I owe you." There was no expression on his face.
"Ahem... At this time, the people who killed Consciousness Sea should all be sent away?" Blood gushed out of the female monarch's mouth.
"What did you say?" Zhan Yunyi suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Knowledge is very important to you, but, but a person like you will kill him sooner or later, and you will be in pain... I am worried about you, so I, I ordered people to send away the guards who killed the Sea of Consciousness, The lady still has this bit of right... I am afraid that Lord Zhizhe has already been..." The lady insisted on finishing her words.
Zhan Yunyi's expression changed, and he got up and ran towards the sea of killing consciousness.
Huan Chao smiled wryly, she really cared so much about Master Zhizhe, it seems that what she did was right, she would rather Zhan Yunyi hate herself than him be sad for killing the person she loved.
Jiang Qingmei used the bone flute to draw purple spells one by one in the air, killing seven or eight assassins in a row, and her breathing became short of breath. This won't work, I need to draw a formation to kill these assassins at once, her fingers slightly The lavender silk thread was winding around her body, but while she was performing the spell, the assassin's sharp blade was already less than an inch away from her vital point.
It's over, Jiang Qingmei felt cold, she failed to protect the knower, if only my shadow guard was still there.
At this time, Xi Yan suddenly raised his hand, his usually dull eyes were filled with cold light, white light flickered at his fingertips, a chessboard composed of white light filled the entire room, and the criss-crossing lines instantly strangled the necks of all the assassins. They fainted.
Xi Yan withdrew his hand and rubbed his aching forehead, "Miss Jiang, are you alright?"
Jiang Qingmei was stunned, she was dumbfounded by such a powerful and precise spell, is this the power of the knower who is closest to the gods, it seems that he does not need his own protection at all. "No, nothing."
Zhan Yunyi hurried back to Killing Consciousness Sea, Xi Yan said that this guy is also a knower, he should not be killed easily, besides, he asked Jiang Qingmei to protect him, but there was no panic, afraid of seeing him die In front of him, thinking of Huan Chao's words, he would kill Xi Yan one day, Zhan Yunyi didn't dare to think about such a possibility, he gritted his teeth.
When he returned to the sea of killing consciousness, there was no one there. He kicked open the cell door, "Xi Yan! You didn't..." In the small cell, there were dozens of people dressed as assassins, and Xi Yan was calm and relaxed. Sitting at the table playing chess, Jiang Qingmei was in a daze.
"It's so noisy." Xi Yan raised his head when he heard Zhan Yunyi's voice, his face was indifferent.
His intuition told him that Jiang Qingmei must not have done these things, and seeing that Xi Yan was safe and sound, Zhan Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're fine."
Xi Yan still looked indifferent, but he was furious in his heart. Didn't he say that it is safest to kill the Sea of Consciousness?
Zhan Yunyi calmed down and stared at Xi Yan, making him a little uncomfortable. Suddenly Zhan Yunyi stepped forward and hugged him tightly, "I see, you must be blaming me for being so cold to me!" Zhan Yunyi Yun Yi returned to her usual rascal appearance.
"Damn it, let me go!" Xi Yan pushed him desperately, as if smelling that there was blood in Zhan Yunyi's body, he was inexplicably uneasy.
Jiang Qingmei on the side minimized her sense of presence as much as possible, suddenly felt that she was superfluous, but he didn't get mad when so many assassins ran into his room, but the place must be cleaned up again in a while.
feast
What day is it today, Xi Yan got up from the table in a daze, it was so noisy, it seemed that many people were imprisoned in Sha Zhihai's prison.He rubbed his forehead, yes, I heard from Zhan Yunyi that today seems to be some kind of celebration banquet, a banquet to celebrate the success of eradicating the leftist faction.Thinking about the way Zhan Yunyi rushed back that day, Xi Yan wondered, was he worried about himself?This is impossible, he is just afraid that what he has done will destroy his plan, yes, it must be so.
Xi Yan got up irritably and walked out of the prison, but the guards of Shazhihai didn't stop him.The long-lost sunshine outside made him unable to open his eyes.The rich aroma of wine and the sound of dance music flowed in the air.However, none of these can cover up the strong smell of blood. Not long ago, there was a brutal killing here. The strong smell of blood was lingering, and Xi Yan could almost hear the screams of innocent souls.
Originally, I wanted to come out to hide, but I didn't expect that the outside is not as good as being in the prison. It's really bad.
Xi Yan sighed, although his eyes had just recovered, although he could see clearly, there was still some stinging pain.
"Hey, isn't this the little beauty, where are you going?" The frivolous voice was very familiar, Xi Yan frowned, it was indeed the right look.Xi Yan didn't make a sound, and didn't want to talk to him, just kept walking.
The Prime Minister on the right shook his fan, and continued, "Hey, you should be the one who knows. What kind of concubine and servant are all deceived. It seems that you have a good relationship, but I still have to advise you, leave Keep him away, or he will be..."
Will it be killed?Xi Yan sneered, it's really ridiculous to say that one or two, ignore him, just walk along the corridor so slowly, don't know where you will go, the fresh sea breeze unique to Liangchuan can't blow into this place The decaying palace, this place has rotted from the inside, but there are still people who try their best to maintain the crumbling country. Perhaps Zuo Xiang's thinking is correct.
Xi Yan smiled wryly, what's the use of thinking so much, after all, I'm just a bystander, even if the country dies tomorrow, it doesn't matter to me, I've seen too many such things.
He shook his head, if he could really want to see the sea in Liangchuan, he has never seen the sea in so many years, and he doesn't know... eh?Xi Yan tripped over something, it was a jug, he looked up and looked around, and unknowingly came to the end of the corridor, a very remote place, layers of tree shadows blurred Xi Yan's sight, originally No one should come to such a deserted place on such a day, but to Xi Yan's surprise, there was another person here - Zhan Yunyi.
Tsk is really unlucky, this can happen.Xi Yan's face darkened, and he turned around and wanted to leave, but he noticed Zhan Yunyi sitting there with a lonely expression, with two wine jars poured beside him.Is he sad about the matter of the queen?Xi Yan wondered, how could he see such an expression on this person's face, and walk in front of him unconsciously.
Sensing someone, Zhan Yunyi looked up at Xi Yan with a smile on his face, which made Xi Yan's heart skip a beat.
"Come on, dead face." Zhan Yunyi tilted his head and raised the wine glass in his hand.
This sentence successfully angered Xi Yan again, and the sliver of goodwill just now disappeared, "I'm here, woman face." Xi Yan replied angrily, Zhan Yunyi rarely ignored him this time, but Guzi drank the stuffed wine.
Xi Yan lowered his eyebrows, "Huan Chao is a good girl, you are not good enough for her."
Zhan Yunyi's expression was serious, he didn't know what he was looking at in the void, "I know," he smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I don't understand why you all insist on being trapped here. Prime Minister Zuo wants to get rid of that person's control, and want to get out, isn't it good?" Xi Yan sat next to him, and he himself was trapped and locked in the temple, so They can understand Zuo Xiang's thoughts, and they have been controlled by others, and they don't even have the freedom to go out and have a look.
"Master the great knower, do you think those countries are really willing to accept the prophecy you release every 30 years?" Zhan Yunyi took a sip of wine, "Knowing your own ending but unable to change it, Liangchuan is the only one For a country that does not obey the prophecy, as the price, the one who made a contract with God not to let Liangchuan interfere in the affairs of the outside world is not a kind of protection, but Zuo Xiang and the female monarch tried to break the contract and bring disaster to Liangchuan .”
Xi Yan was silent, his eyebrows lowered. This was something he had never thought about. He had always believed that prophecy was a gift from God, and he never imagined that there would be people who would not be willing to receive prophecy. Moreover, for the Holy One behind Liangchuan, he still had no idea. Full of doubts, why did he go to such lengths to rob himself at the expense of confronting the first god? Could it be for the sake of Tianjing?
"I don't think it's right." But Xi Yan didn't know how to express it. Those countries outside were trapped by Tianjing's prophecy, while Liangchuan was stuck under the control of the Holy Lord. In his opinion, the two essences are the same. the same.
"Oh, let's not talk about this, anyway, these have nothing to do with me," Zhan Yunyi looked at Xi Yan again, "Come here, I have something to tell you."
His tone was serious, he didn't look like he was joking, what's wrong with this guy, could it be that the death of the female monarch hit him too hard, Xi Yan was dubious.Still leaning down, approaching Zhan Yunyi, as if feeling too far away, Shi Qiyan grabbed his arm and pulled him closer.
It was too close, Xi Yan's eyes flickered, and he wanted to step back, but he was caught firmly.Zhan Yunyi's face suddenly moved closer, so close that he could feel his warm breath, what is this guy doing?What is the purpose of such a serious expression?Seeing Zhan Yunyi's eyes getting closer and closer, Xi Yan was very uneasy but could not avoid it, what's going on, the atmosphere is too ambiguous!Those dark green eyes with a smile seem to be tempting me, I can't move my eyes, it's so scary.
Xi Yan closed his eyes with difficulty, forcing himself not to look at him again.Zhan Yunyi's chuckle came from next to his ears, and suddenly he felt something was wrong, Xi Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and saw Zhan Yunyi raised his hand and poured a pot of wine on his head, the amber wine flowed down Xi Yan's mouth. His long hair flowed down his face.
"..." For a moment, the air froze.Xi Yan seemed to have been greatly stimulated, and he couldn't react for a while, until the mellow wine flowed to his lips, he jumped up and entered a state of rampage, "Zhan Yunyi! You...you..." Xi Yan said angrily His voice trembled a little, as expected, he shouldn't have believed that this guy would suddenly become serious, but he was teased again, damn it, Xi Yan was so angry that he didn't know which spell to teach him.
"Hahahaha..." Zhan Yunyi almost laughed out loud when he saw his reaction, sure enough, teasing this guy would make her feel better.
The drunk!Xi Yan's face was full of murderous intent, and his fingertips faintly glowed, "I have been rude to those who know me many times, today I will definitely kill you."
But before the operation was finished, Zhan Yunyi grabbed his wrist, "I think you still need a shadow guard," he curled his lips, "What do you think of me?"
Xi Yan was stunned, but forgot to pull out his hand.
"Now that everything is over, it's time to discuss the next thing." Zhan Yunyi paused, "My opinion is that it's better for you to stay. How about we continue to be allies?" He looked expectantly Xiang Xiyan.
"We have never been allies." Xi Yan's tone was indifferent, and if he formed an alliance with Zhan Yunyi, he would either be tricked or mad to death. He must not be trusted, and he must stay away from him. Xi Yan made up his mind.
Zhan Yunyi obviously didn't intend to give up, "We've been together for so long, we should know each other a little bit, how about this, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Why are these words so twisted, but he said it seriously, Xi Yan bowed his head and thought about it for a while, "You are an impolite, playboy, bastard, slut..."
"Okay, don't talk about it." Zhan Yunyi held his forehead, why his image is so bad, "Then let me tell you about you." And Xi Yan has an expression that I won't agree to what you say .
"Actually, you are very afraid of loneliness. You have been locked up in the temple for so long. When I took you out last time, I saw that you really like the excitement outside. Although you said it was annoying. Don't go back to the temple, stay here , come with me, we can go anywhere in this land as long as you want." Zhan Yunyi's tone was sincere.
lonely?People in the world think that the knower has insight into everything in the world, has endless life, and is accompanied by gods, and everyone envies him, but he says he will be lonely.Xi Yan's eyes were erratic, he couldn't be trusted, maybe he was going to take advantage of him again.But what he said was very tempting, and now that he has left the temple and has nowhere to go, it is obviously the best choice to agree to him, Zhan Yunyi also took a fancy to this, so he used this kind of tone that must be won .Not reconciled, like a prey being targeted by a hunter, his own thoughts are under his control, and he doesn't want to agree to him so easily.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhan Yunyi took his hand and kissed his fingertips devoutly, "My lord, I want to be your shadow guardian and protect you for the rest of my life." The whisper of the lover, but it was so firm that he could not refute it.
Xi Yan's face turned red, "I..." The magician and the shadow guard can be said to be the most intimate relationship...the same heart and the same life...a shadow guard will only guard one magician in his life... In a daze, Xi Yan thought of Jiang Qingmei's words.It was the first time someone made such a serious oath to him, Xi Yan felt his cheeks were hot, he gritted his teeth, looked at Zhan Yunyi's beautiful and affectionate face, took two steps back, and left in a panic like fleeing, Zhan Yunyi Yun Yi smiled, anyway, he would agree in the end.
Oh my god, what was I thinking, I almost agreed to him just now, Xi Yan fled back to the prison, cursing inwardly, but it would be nice to be able to get rid of the temple in the future and travel around, although there will be an annoying ghost by his side, Xi Yan doesn't know that he At this time, there was a faint smile on his face.
Xi Yan pushed open the cell door, but felt that the space was distorted, and there was an ominous feeling in his heart.Inside the door was the icy Lingyi Mountain Temple. The nine-fold stone door opened seemed to mock him coldly, and his face turned pale instantly.
Syracuse
The late winter in the extreme north is very difficult, especially in Syracuse, a city at the foot of the Kuninte Snow Mountain, many poor people often cannot survive the last few days of winter.But the nobles of Liuxuechuan were obviously not worried about this. The sudden heavy snow only added to the fun of going out for fun, but most of them chose to stay behind closed doors or go south to avoid the cold.
However, there are always people going against the flow of people. Two dusty travelers are entering the gate of the capital city of Xuecheng. These two people are Zhan Yunyi and Qian Jiangyue.At this time, it had been three months since Liangchuan put down the rebellion, Liangchuan had elected a new monarch, and all affairs had been sorted out, so Zhan Yunyi received a new task at this time.
Taking off the hood, Zhan Yunyi exaggeratedly complained, "This place is too cold." Qian Jiangyue beside her didn't say anything, she still had a straight face.
"I said Qian Jiang, you don't have to follow me to this hellish place, I can handle this mission." Zhan Yunyi was still talkative, and he had been persuading Qian Jiangyue for an unknown amount of time, but this wooden head couldn't listen at all. , I guess he is the only one who can stand Zhan Yunyi's talkative talk.At this time, Zhan Yunyi misses the knower who loves to blow hair.But when I think about it, I am very angry. Last time I sincerely invited him, I thought he would definitely agree, but this guy somehow escaped, and then there was no news. When I catch you, I must...
"I'm going to die." Qian Jiangyue, who had been keeping a cold face, finally opened her mouth. Zhan Yunyi didn't realize it for a while. This mission was indeed dangerous. To be honest, she was not sure, so she didn't want to involve Qian Jiangyue.
"Haha, my life is so hard, how could I die."
Qian Jiangyue frowned, trying to say something.
"Yunyi, you are finally here." A gentle voice came, and Zhan Yunyi's eyes lit up. This was Xue Fan, the city lord of Xuecheng whom they had already agreed to.
"Long time no see, Lord City Lord. We are here to ask for something."
"Of course I will do my best for your affairs." Xue Fan smiled, he and Zhan Yunyi are old acquaintances, and he really understands what Zhan Yunyi is thinking, "Well, now is not a good season to go to the mountains, if If you are not in a hurry, you can stay in Syracuse for a while, and wait for the spring to enter the mountains."
"That's exactly what we mean, so we're going to bother you for a while." Zhan Yunyi nodded, and it's true that going into the mountain at this time is courting death, and it's useless for the master of Liangchuan to be in a hurry.
"Why are you so alien to me?" Xue Fan smiled, "Let's go, go to my residence first."
The two followed Xue Fan to his mansion. Unlike the nobles in Syracuse, City Lord Xue Fan's residence was quite low-key. Although the layout was simple, it was also plain and clean. One could tell that the owner here had extraordinary taste.
"Hey, I was so busy talking to you that I almost forgot that I still have an appointment with someone." City Master Xue Fan tapped his forehead, obviously regretful. "Sorry, I have to go to the appointment first." Xue Fan was about to leave when suddenly a guard stepped forward and whispered something in his ear. Xue Fan looked serious and waved the guard to leave.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Yunyi asked Xue Fan's preoccupation.
"There are some trivial things to deal with," Xue Fan frowned, "I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the appointment for a while, and I have to send someone to inform me."
Seeing Xue Fan's solemn expression, Zhan Yunyi didn't ask further, "Who is it that you value so much?"
"It's a little gentleman who is proficient in Tianji chess. He came to the mansion two months ago and broke my chess game in just three moves. Now he is my disciple." Xue Fan explained.
Zhan Yunyi became interested as soon as he heard it, "Oh? This person is so powerful. I just happen to be studying Tianji chess, why don't I take a look for you?"
"Since when did you become interested in playing chess?" Xue Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't think about him, this little gentleman is a serious person."
"Don't worry, go and get busy with your work." Although Zhan Yunyi made a strong promise to him, Xue Fan obviously still didn't believe his nonsense.
Zhan Yunyi left Qian Jiangyue in the wing room and went to look for the little gentleman who could play chess. He heard from Xuefan that he lived in Xinuan Pavilion, and it was really cold in Snow City this season. Zhan Yunyi pushed open the door of the Nuan Pavilion , This place is really nice, as soon as I entered the door, I felt that the cold air on my body was dispelled.He casually took off the black cloak he was wearing, and walked through the screens into the inner room.Someone inside has been waiting for a long time.
Even in the Nuan Pavilion, this person still seems to be shy of the cold. He is wearing a rather thick white fox fur, and his long black hair is casually draped over his shoulders. Twirling a black jade chess piece with his fingertips, his presence makes the whole space quiet and peaceful, just like a painting.
Zhan Yunyi raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, his dark green eyes gleamed dangerously, like a wolf that had found its prey.
"It's rare for the city lord to be late today." The man still didn't open his eyes and said leisurely.
Zhan Yunyi approached, "The city lord can't come today, why don't I play chess with my husband?"
Finally realizing that something was wrong, the chess piece in his hand fell unsteadily, and he opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him in horror.
"You made it easy for me to find you, my lord." Zhan Yunyi slowly approached step by step.
Xi Yan's eyes widened, the gray pupils looked like blind people, "You, why are you here, don't. Don't come here!" Finally, Master Zhizhe couldn't calm down, and stepped back unconsciously, his voice trembling a little, Probably the bad memories Zhan Yunyi left for him were too deep.
Xi Yan huddled in the white fox fur, staring wide-eyed, like a furry fox, it might be more appropriate to say that it is a rabbit that only wants to bite people.
"Why can't I come? By the way, last time you left without telling us, shouldn't we settle it carefully?" Zhan Yunyi sneered.
Xi Yan calmed down, showing contempt on his face, "You have disrespected those who know you repeatedly, and I should settle the score with you." However, seeing Zhan Yunyi's unkind expression, Xi Yan shrank back without confidence, damn it What's wrong with me.
Zhan Yunyi raised the corners of his lips, his smile made people feel like a spring breeze, but it made Xi Yan's hair stand on end, he must be thinking about how to trick himself again.
"Master Zhizhi, I've forgotten it, I've always been very rude to you, so," as expected, Zhan Yunyi suddenly rushed towards Xi Yan, restrained his hands and pressed him on the soft couch, "You won't be offended if I do anything to you."
Xi Yan had already guessed that there would be such a development in the end, and he grabbed the chessboard and threw it at Zhan Yunyi's head, but was caught by the numbness of his wrist. The shaking chessboard fell to the ground, and the pieces crackled and fell off both of them.
"Presumptuous!" Xi Yan was impatient.
"My lord, please keep your voice down. This is the mansion of City Lord Xue Fan. It's not good to be seen like this."
Xi Yan snorted coldly, turned his head away and stopped looking at him. "Speaking of which, why did Lord Zhizhe come to be the servant of the city lord of Snow City? It's really puzzling."
"Do you threaten me?"
"How dare I, I'm just stating the facts." Zhan Yunyi raised his eyebrows.
"Even if this kind of thing is told, no one will believe it. Those who know are now staying in the temple." There was a sarcasm in Xi Yan's tone.
"That's right," Zhan Yunyi was thoughtful, "Then what about a person of unknown origin who colluded with the commander of Liangchuan Shazhihai and worked hand in hand with a corrupt regime?"
Xi Yan's expression finally changed a bit, even with a hint of ferocity, if you dare to destroy my plan, you will definitely die without a whole body, "Oh, there is no need to drag yourself into the water if you want to threaten me, Xue Fan like you The city lord will naturally suspect you." That's right, who wouldn't have doubts about the pawns from other countries sneaking into their own country for no reason?
"How do you know that Xue Fan won't trust me? Our friendship is pretty good. What, do you want to take a gamble?" Zhan Yunyi pondered for a moment, "Actually, you also have your own goals. If you don't want to do bad things, it's okay, but ..."
Xi Yan felt angry, "What exactly do you want?"
"Let me hug you, and then I won't do anything to you."
"..." Xi Yan was speechless, what on earth was this guy thinking, but a few days ago he was taken advantage of a lot, hugging him is nothing, and it can save some trouble, Xi Yan struggled for a while, and finally compromised, "Hug it, just give it a shot."
Zhan Yunyi threw herself into Xi Yan's arms excitedly like a child, buried her head deeply in Xi Yan's neck, and almost greedily felt the faint breath of ice and snow on his body. hostility.
What's going on with this guy, there's no end to it, Xi Yan is a little impatient.
"Sir, I'm so sorry, I'm here..." Someone came into the Nuan Pavilion, he was obviously shocked by the scene in front of him, Zhan Yunyi and Xi Yan raised their heads at the same time, Xi Yan gasped, "Master Xuefan, don't mistake me ..."
Zhan Yunyi interrupted him, "Why did you come back so soon, this little gentleman and I hit it off right away, and we were discussing chess theory." He firmly held down the jesting words that were about to get up, and said solemnly.
How shameless, Xi Yan scolded secretly.
"This..." City Master Xuefan looked at the ambiguous scene in front of him, Zhan Yunyi was pressing on Mr. Xiao, and Mr. Xiao had a refusal expression on his face, and suddenly felt embarrassed, "Sorry to bother you. "After finishing speaking, he left as if fleeing.
"City Lord!" Xi Yan wanted to cry, but City Lord Xue Fan must have misunderstood. "Get off!" Xi Yan's eyes were red with anger.
"Okay, okay, just get out." Zhan Yunyi was afraid that Xi Yan's raising his hand would be a critical blow, so he immediately rubbed oil on the soles of his feet, and did not forget to leave a sentence before doing it, "I will come to see you again." Angrily, Xi Yan bluntly grit your teeth.
Xue Fan opened the letter sent by his confidant, feeling very worried. Sure enough, something happened in the south, and it was inevitable in the end.
bet
It was late at night, and the winter night in Xuecheng was very difficult. Xi Yan wrapped himself tightly in the fox fur. Even so, it was still cold, the cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.The flames of the candlestick were flickering, and the last chess piece was dropped. Xi Yan sighed, and retracted his cold fingertips into his sleeves. It was very close to the Kuninte Snow Mountain, so it could be regarded as returning to his hometown.Speaking of Xuecheng's Xueshi lineage, he can be regarded as his descendant. It is a wonderful chance that he can feel the familiar bloodline in Xuefan.
Xi Yan was in a trance, and couldn't remember anything. He couldn't remember the events of the year, his tribe, hatred, and love. Time is really terrible. Even the most important memories will be erased. It is not the gods who trapped him, but It is the time that goes on and on forever, devouring memories.
Master Xianshen... Xi Yan recalled what happened after he was brought back to the temple.
Xi Yan looked at the white stone bricks engraved with curse marks under his feet, his fingers trembled slightly, and it was like this every time, whenever he saw a glimmer of hope, Lord Xianshen would ruthlessly smash it to pieces. Is it his pleasure? How many times does he have to repeat it if he wants to see his desperate expression.
After a long time, Xi Yan swayed almost out of strength. He held on to the stone gate, and the giant beast on the stone gate hurt his hand. Ah Xie... He muttered in his heart, and immediately straightened his back and walked towards the interior of the temple. The time when the Formation of Time stopped here, there was not even a breath of wind.
Lord Xianshen's whereabouts are uncertain, and he is often not seen for decades, and the one who spends the long time with him is Ah Xie, the divine beast left by the mother goddess and sealed on the stone gate.Before I knew it, I went back to the Mother Goddess of Lingyi Mountain, where the mother god of creation was enshrined. Every 30 years, the long-closed nine doors would be opened here to accept the worship of monarchs from all over the world.
Xi Yan took a deep breath and entered the deepest part of the temple, where the Xianshen had long been waiting for him.The last time I saw him, I had a big fight with him, probably because I was really angry. Xianshen almost took away his sky mirror. I thought I would be killed, and I thought I could be freed. Leaving myself here, I don't even care about Mo Ling trapping me
Jiang Qingmei looked at her slender fingers with a regretful expression, "It would be great if I could be as strong as you."
Xi Yan sighed softly, being strong also has a price, "Can you tell me about the lecturer and the shadow guard?"
"Hey, sir, don't you know, the magician is too fragile, especially in the process of performing the spell, he has no power to protect himself, so he needs a shadow guard to protect him. The magician and the shadow guard can say It's the most intimate relationship."
No wonder, I used to be alone in the temple without anyone hindering me, but I suffered a lot from fighting Zhan Yunyi several times.
Jiang Qingmei caressed the broken curse seal on her arm, "Shadowkeeper and magician are usually connected to each other through the concentric spell, which means that they are of the same mind," she said with a wry smile, "but ah, the spirit of the magician can't bear such a strong Therefore, at the age of 30, you will close your spiritual veins and return to being an ordinary person."
"What about the shadow guard?" Xi Yan couldn't help asking.
"The fate of a Shadow Keeper is to sacrifice. Almost all of them die to protect their sorcerers. A sorcerer may have many Shadow Keepers, but a Shadow Keeper will only protect one Warlock throughout his life."
It was the first time I heard about this kind of thing, Xi Yan was a little shocked, "Then Miss Jiang, your shadow guard..."
"She's gone." Jiang Qingmei's voice was a little choked up, and Xi Yan didn't know how to comfort her for a while.
"Here we come!" Jiang Qingmei immediately put away her fragile expression, her eyes were sharp, and dozens of assassins were approaching outside the door.
The female gentleman's smile was free of impurities, clean and holy, and the white color made Zhan Yunyi feel a little dazzling.
"Brother Yunyi, since when did you stop calling me by my name, it's so natural."
Zhan Yunyi hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "You are a queen, but I am just a foreigner, how dare you surpass her."
The lady couldn't help laughing, "Are you taking revenge on my father?"
Zhan Yunyi looked at her speechlessly, and there was no wave in her dark green eyes, "I have always been a person who holds grudges alone, so why should the lady joke."
"Sigh, brother Yunyi is still the same," Nujun smiled helplessly, "It's the same as when I was a child, when I first saw you..."
"Don't mention the past again." Zhan Yunyi interrupted her bluntly, with a stern look on her face, as if some bad memory had been mentioned.
The lady was so frightened by Zhan Yunyi who suddenly showed a fierce look, she couldn't help trembling, "Brother Yunyi..." She thought of the time when she first saw Zhan Yunyi many years ago, when she was hiding in Qianjiang Behind the master, he secretly looked at the child of unknown origin. The thin child had a pair of terrifying dark green eyes, as if he harbored deep hostility towards everyone, and he glared viciously at others like a wounded wolf.But only Huan Chao knew that this child was actually frail and frightening, unable to sleep every night, curled up into a ball, trembling and crying.
Zhan Yunyi finally realized her gaffe, rubbed between her brows, and put on a cynical smile, "Today is a big day, what do you want to do?"
"Yes, today is a big day." The lady smiled weakly, "Father must have been killed by you."
The lady said it as if nothing had happened, but Zhan Yunyi's smile faltered, "We are just following the lord's wishes. Prime Minister Zuo tried to break Liangchuan's rules, so he will naturally be punished."
"I knew it would be like this," the lady forced a smile, her face was pale, "Brother Yunyi, Liangchuan has never believed in God, why has he obeyed the control of that adult for thousands of years, my father I just want to break this paradox and let Liangchuan go out, there is nothing wrong with that."
"Do you know what kind of disaster you and your father will bring to Liangchuan? Going out means that we will also be bound by Tianjing's prophecy. Do you want Liangchuan to be trapped in the so-called Under the shadow of fate?" Zhan Yunyi gritted his teeth, as if he hated it deeply, "This world is involuntary, and I don't want to care about it after seeing this point. What happens to Liangchuan has nothing to do with me, I just hope to keep it What I hold dear."
"Doesn't this include me?" The lady looked at Zhan Yunyi expectantly.
"..." Zhan Yunyi looked at this innocent child-like female monarch, and couldn't bear to say anything else. His purpose this time was to kill the female monarch and completely eradicate the leftist faction.It was originally Qian Jiangyue's task, but it was snatched by Zhan Yunyi. He knows Qian Jiangyue too well. My child, he will feel uncomfortable, why not himself, but let him bear all the sins alone, and he suddenly thought of what Xi Yan often said: It's not a big deal.Zhan Yunyi couldn't help laughing.
"Well, I know you don't want to lie to me. I didn't do this for any righteousness. I just hope that you will no longer be restrained," the lady didn't notice Zhan Yunyi's gentle smile, but said to herself , "However, your answer is exactly the same as Master Zhizhi."
"Huh?" Hearing the word "knowledge", Zhan Yunyi regained his composure and restrained his smile.
"Yesterday, I went to see Lord Zhizhe and chatted with him for a while. He can really calm people down. He is really a gentle person."
"..." Zhan Yunyi was speechless again. You wouldn't think so if you saw him blowing his hair, but Xi Yan looked like a sympathetic prophet in front of others, and that unfathomable expression could definitely fool you There are many people living here, probably a qualified magic stick.
"But Lord Zhizhe is also a very cute person, no wonder you like him so much."
Hearing these words, Xi Yan would probably go berserk again.
The lady coughed twice, and her face became paler, "Sometimes I really miss the time when we were together, Master Qianjiang, Master Xiaoling, Brother Yue, Brother Right Xiang, we are all still together, why do we have to be together now? Are you dead or alive?"
Zhan Yunyi's face darkened, "Tell me what the right minister is doing, you disgusting guy."
The female gentleman couldn't help laughing, these two people still couldn't deal with each other after so many years. "It's better not to mention him," the lady hesitated, "Brother Yunyi, we are getting married today, can you... give me a hug?"
Zhan Yunyi looked at her silently, sighed softly, stepped forward and hugged her, the female gentleman's body was thin, he was afraid that this person would break if he hugged her hard, he thought of Xi Yan, he also had the same feeling Painfully thin body.Zhan Yunyi was thinking, the Bailu knife in her sleeve came out of its sheath, and the cold point of the knife pierced her back, as if it was cold, the female monarch shivered, and the dark red blood soaked through her clothes.
"Thank you." The female gentleman's voice was inaudible, Zhan Yunyi pulled out the knife ruthlessly, and the female ruler couldn't bear it any longer and fell into his arms, "This ending is not bad... I can die in your arms. "The lady spoke intermittently.
"I owe you." There was no expression on his face.
"Ahem... At this time, the people who killed Consciousness Sea should all be sent away?" Blood gushed out of the female monarch's mouth.
"What did you say?" Zhan Yunyi suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Knowledge is very important to you, but, but a person like you will kill him sooner or later, and you will be in pain... I am worried about you, so I, I ordered people to send away the guards who killed the Sea of Consciousness, The lady still has this bit of right... I am afraid that Lord Zhizhe has already been..." The lady insisted on finishing her words.
Zhan Yunyi's expression changed, and he got up and ran towards the sea of killing consciousness.
Huan Chao smiled wryly, she really cared so much about Master Zhizhe, it seems that what she did was right, she would rather Zhan Yunyi hate herself than him be sad for killing the person she loved.
Jiang Qingmei used the bone flute to draw purple spells one by one in the air, killing seven or eight assassins in a row, and her breathing became short of breath. This won't work, I need to draw a formation to kill these assassins at once, her fingers slightly The lavender silk thread was winding around her body, but while she was performing the spell, the assassin's sharp blade was already less than an inch away from her vital point.
It's over, Jiang Qingmei felt cold, she failed to protect the knower, if only my shadow guard was still there.
At this time, Xi Yan suddenly raised his hand, his usually dull eyes were filled with cold light, white light flickered at his fingertips, a chessboard composed of white light filled the entire room, and the criss-crossing lines instantly strangled the necks of all the assassins. They fainted.
Xi Yan withdrew his hand and rubbed his aching forehead, "Miss Jiang, are you alright?"
Jiang Qingmei was stunned, she was dumbfounded by such a powerful and precise spell, is this the power of the knower who is closest to the gods, it seems that he does not need his own protection at all. "No, nothing."
Zhan Yunyi hurried back to Killing Consciousness Sea, Xi Yan said that this guy is also a knower, he should not be killed easily, besides, he asked Jiang Qingmei to protect him, but there was no panic, afraid of seeing him die In front of him, thinking of Huan Chao's words, he would kill Xi Yan one day, Zhan Yunyi didn't dare to think about such a possibility, he gritted his teeth.
When he returned to the sea of killing consciousness, there was no one there. He kicked open the cell door, "Xi Yan! You didn't..." In the small cell, there were dozens of people dressed as assassins, and Xi Yan was calm and relaxed. Sitting at the table playing chess, Jiang Qingmei was in a daze.
"It's so noisy." Xi Yan raised his head when he heard Zhan Yunyi's voice, his face was indifferent.
His intuition told him that Jiang Qingmei must not have done these things, and seeing that Xi Yan was safe and sound, Zhan Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're fine."
Xi Yan still looked indifferent, but he was furious in his heart. Didn't he say that it is safest to kill the Sea of Consciousness?
Zhan Yunyi calmed down and stared at Xi Yan, making him a little uncomfortable. Suddenly Zhan Yunyi stepped forward and hugged him tightly, "I see, you must be blaming me for being so cold to me!" Zhan Yunyi Yun Yi returned to her usual rascal appearance.
"Damn it, let me go!" Xi Yan pushed him desperately, as if smelling that there was blood in Zhan Yunyi's body, he was inexplicably uneasy.
Jiang Qingmei on the side minimized her sense of presence as much as possible, suddenly felt that she was superfluous, but he didn't get mad when so many assassins ran into his room, but the place must be cleaned up again in a while.
feast
What day is it today, Xi Yan got up from the table in a daze, it was so noisy, it seemed that many people were imprisoned in Sha Zhihai's prison.He rubbed his forehead, yes, I heard from Zhan Yunyi that today seems to be some kind of celebration banquet, a banquet to celebrate the success of eradicating the leftist faction.Thinking about the way Zhan Yunyi rushed back that day, Xi Yan wondered, was he worried about himself?This is impossible, he is just afraid that what he has done will destroy his plan, yes, it must be so.
Xi Yan got up irritably and walked out of the prison, but the guards of Shazhihai didn't stop him.The long-lost sunshine outside made him unable to open his eyes.The rich aroma of wine and the sound of dance music flowed in the air.However, none of these can cover up the strong smell of blood. Not long ago, there was a brutal killing here. The strong smell of blood was lingering, and Xi Yan could almost hear the screams of innocent souls.
Originally, I wanted to come out to hide, but I didn't expect that the outside is not as good as being in the prison. It's really bad.
Xi Yan sighed, although his eyes had just recovered, although he could see clearly, there was still some stinging pain.
"Hey, isn't this the little beauty, where are you going?" The frivolous voice was very familiar, Xi Yan frowned, it was indeed the right look.Xi Yan didn't make a sound, and didn't want to talk to him, just kept walking.
The Prime Minister on the right shook his fan, and continued, "Hey, you should be the one who knows. What kind of concubine and servant are all deceived. It seems that you have a good relationship, but I still have to advise you, leave Keep him away, or he will be..."
Will it be killed?Xi Yan sneered, it's really ridiculous to say that one or two, ignore him, just walk along the corridor so slowly, don't know where you will go, the fresh sea breeze unique to Liangchuan can't blow into this place The decaying palace, this place has rotted from the inside, but there are still people who try their best to maintain the crumbling country. Perhaps Zuo Xiang's thinking is correct.
Xi Yan smiled wryly, what's the use of thinking so much, after all, I'm just a bystander, even if the country dies tomorrow, it doesn't matter to me, I've seen too many such things.
He shook his head, if he could really want to see the sea in Liangchuan, he has never seen the sea in so many years, and he doesn't know... eh?Xi Yan tripped over something, it was a jug, he looked up and looked around, and unknowingly came to the end of the corridor, a very remote place, layers of tree shadows blurred Xi Yan's sight, originally No one should come to such a deserted place on such a day, but to Xi Yan's surprise, there was another person here - Zhan Yunyi.
Tsk is really unlucky, this can happen.Xi Yan's face darkened, and he turned around and wanted to leave, but he noticed Zhan Yunyi sitting there with a lonely expression, with two wine jars poured beside him.Is he sad about the matter of the queen?Xi Yan wondered, how could he see such an expression on this person's face, and walk in front of him unconsciously.
Sensing someone, Zhan Yunyi looked up at Xi Yan with a smile on his face, which made Xi Yan's heart skip a beat.
"Come on, dead face." Zhan Yunyi tilted his head and raised the wine glass in his hand.
This sentence successfully angered Xi Yan again, and the sliver of goodwill just now disappeared, "I'm here, woman face." Xi Yan replied angrily, Zhan Yunyi rarely ignored him this time, but Guzi drank the stuffed wine.
Xi Yan lowered his eyebrows, "Huan Chao is a good girl, you are not good enough for her."
Zhan Yunyi's expression was serious, he didn't know what he was looking at in the void, "I know," he smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I don't understand why you all insist on being trapped here. Prime Minister Zuo wants to get rid of that person's control, and want to get out, isn't it good?" Xi Yan sat next to him, and he himself was trapped and locked in the temple, so They can understand Zuo Xiang's thoughts, and they have been controlled by others, and they don't even have the freedom to go out and have a look.
"Master the great knower, do you think those countries are really willing to accept the prophecy you release every 30 years?" Zhan Yunyi took a sip of wine, "Knowing your own ending but unable to change it, Liangchuan is the only one For a country that does not obey the prophecy, as the price, the one who made a contract with God not to let Liangchuan interfere in the affairs of the outside world is not a kind of protection, but Zuo Xiang and the female monarch tried to break the contract and bring disaster to Liangchuan .”
Xi Yan was silent, his eyebrows lowered. This was something he had never thought about. He had always believed that prophecy was a gift from God, and he never imagined that there would be people who would not be willing to receive prophecy. Moreover, for the Holy One behind Liangchuan, he still had no idea. Full of doubts, why did he go to such lengths to rob himself at the expense of confronting the first god? Could it be for the sake of Tianjing?
"I don't think it's right." But Xi Yan didn't know how to express it. Those countries outside were trapped by Tianjing's prophecy, while Liangchuan was stuck under the control of the Holy Lord. In his opinion, the two essences are the same. the same.
"Oh, let's not talk about this, anyway, these have nothing to do with me," Zhan Yunyi looked at Xi Yan again, "Come here, I have something to tell you."
His tone was serious, he didn't look like he was joking, what's wrong with this guy, could it be that the death of the female monarch hit him too hard, Xi Yan was dubious.Still leaning down, approaching Zhan Yunyi, as if feeling too far away, Shi Qiyan grabbed his arm and pulled him closer.
It was too close, Xi Yan's eyes flickered, and he wanted to step back, but he was caught firmly.Zhan Yunyi's face suddenly moved closer, so close that he could feel his warm breath, what is this guy doing?What is the purpose of such a serious expression?Seeing Zhan Yunyi's eyes getting closer and closer, Xi Yan was very uneasy but could not avoid it, what's going on, the atmosphere is too ambiguous!Those dark green eyes with a smile seem to be tempting me, I can't move my eyes, it's so scary.
Xi Yan closed his eyes with difficulty, forcing himself not to look at him again.Zhan Yunyi's chuckle came from next to his ears, and suddenly he felt something was wrong, Xi Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and saw Zhan Yunyi raised his hand and poured a pot of wine on his head, the amber wine flowed down Xi Yan's mouth. His long hair flowed down his face.
"..." For a moment, the air froze.Xi Yan seemed to have been greatly stimulated, and he couldn't react for a while, until the mellow wine flowed to his lips, he jumped up and entered a state of rampage, "Zhan Yunyi! You...you..." Xi Yan said angrily His voice trembled a little, as expected, he shouldn't have believed that this guy would suddenly become serious, but he was teased again, damn it, Xi Yan was so angry that he didn't know which spell to teach him.
"Hahahaha..." Zhan Yunyi almost laughed out loud when he saw his reaction, sure enough, teasing this guy would make her feel better.
The drunk!Xi Yan's face was full of murderous intent, and his fingertips faintly glowed, "I have been rude to those who know me many times, today I will definitely kill you."
But before the operation was finished, Zhan Yunyi grabbed his wrist, "I think you still need a shadow guard," he curled his lips, "What do you think of me?"
Xi Yan was stunned, but forgot to pull out his hand.
"Now that everything is over, it's time to discuss the next thing." Zhan Yunyi paused, "My opinion is that it's better for you to stay. How about we continue to be allies?" He looked expectantly Xiang Xiyan.
"We have never been allies." Xi Yan's tone was indifferent, and if he formed an alliance with Zhan Yunyi, he would either be tricked or mad to death. He must not be trusted, and he must stay away from him. Xi Yan made up his mind.
Zhan Yunyi obviously didn't intend to give up, "We've been together for so long, we should know each other a little bit, how about this, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Why are these words so twisted, but he said it seriously, Xi Yan bowed his head and thought about it for a while, "You are an impolite, playboy, bastard, slut..."
"Okay, don't talk about it." Zhan Yunyi held his forehead, why his image is so bad, "Then let me tell you about you." And Xi Yan has an expression that I won't agree to what you say .
"Actually, you are very afraid of loneliness. You have been locked up in the temple for so long. When I took you out last time, I saw that you really like the excitement outside. Although you said it was annoying. Don't go back to the temple, stay here , come with me, we can go anywhere in this land as long as you want." Zhan Yunyi's tone was sincere.
lonely?People in the world think that the knower has insight into everything in the world, has endless life, and is accompanied by gods, and everyone envies him, but he says he will be lonely.Xi Yan's eyes were erratic, he couldn't be trusted, maybe he was going to take advantage of him again.But what he said was very tempting, and now that he has left the temple and has nowhere to go, it is obviously the best choice to agree to him, Zhan Yunyi also took a fancy to this, so he used this kind of tone that must be won .Not reconciled, like a prey being targeted by a hunter, his own thoughts are under his control, and he doesn't want to agree to him so easily.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhan Yunyi took his hand and kissed his fingertips devoutly, "My lord, I want to be your shadow guardian and protect you for the rest of my life." The whisper of the lover, but it was so firm that he could not refute it.
Xi Yan's face turned red, "I..." The magician and the shadow guard can be said to be the most intimate relationship...the same heart and the same life...a shadow guard will only guard one magician in his life... In a daze, Xi Yan thought of Jiang Qingmei's words.It was the first time someone made such a serious oath to him, Xi Yan felt his cheeks were hot, he gritted his teeth, looked at Zhan Yunyi's beautiful and affectionate face, took two steps back, and left in a panic like fleeing, Zhan Yunyi Yun Yi smiled, anyway, he would agree in the end.
Oh my god, what was I thinking, I almost agreed to him just now, Xi Yan fled back to the prison, cursing inwardly, but it would be nice to be able to get rid of the temple in the future and travel around, although there will be an annoying ghost by his side, Xi Yan doesn't know that he At this time, there was a faint smile on his face.
Xi Yan pushed open the cell door, but felt that the space was distorted, and there was an ominous feeling in his heart.Inside the door was the icy Lingyi Mountain Temple. The nine-fold stone door opened seemed to mock him coldly, and his face turned pale instantly.
Syracuse
The late winter in the extreme north is very difficult, especially in Syracuse, a city at the foot of the Kuninte Snow Mountain, many poor people often cannot survive the last few days of winter.But the nobles of Liuxuechuan were obviously not worried about this. The sudden heavy snow only added to the fun of going out for fun, but most of them chose to stay behind closed doors or go south to avoid the cold.
However, there are always people going against the flow of people. Two dusty travelers are entering the gate of the capital city of Xuecheng. These two people are Zhan Yunyi and Qian Jiangyue.At this time, it had been three months since Liangchuan put down the rebellion, Liangchuan had elected a new monarch, and all affairs had been sorted out, so Zhan Yunyi received a new task at this time.
Taking off the hood, Zhan Yunyi exaggeratedly complained, "This place is too cold." Qian Jiangyue beside her didn't say anything, she still had a straight face.
"I said Qian Jiang, you don't have to follow me to this hellish place, I can handle this mission." Zhan Yunyi was still talkative, and he had been persuading Qian Jiangyue for an unknown amount of time, but this wooden head couldn't listen at all. , I guess he is the only one who can stand Zhan Yunyi's talkative talk.At this time, Zhan Yunyi misses the knower who loves to blow hair.But when I think about it, I am very angry. Last time I sincerely invited him, I thought he would definitely agree, but this guy somehow escaped, and then there was no news. When I catch you, I must...
"I'm going to die." Qian Jiangyue, who had been keeping a cold face, finally opened her mouth. Zhan Yunyi didn't realize it for a while. This mission was indeed dangerous. To be honest, she was not sure, so she didn't want to involve Qian Jiangyue.
"Haha, my life is so hard, how could I die."
Qian Jiangyue frowned, trying to say something.
"Yunyi, you are finally here." A gentle voice came, and Zhan Yunyi's eyes lit up. This was Xue Fan, the city lord of Xuecheng whom they had already agreed to.
"Long time no see, Lord City Lord. We are here to ask for something."
"Of course I will do my best for your affairs." Xue Fan smiled, he and Zhan Yunyi are old acquaintances, and he really understands what Zhan Yunyi is thinking, "Well, now is not a good season to go to the mountains, if If you are not in a hurry, you can stay in Syracuse for a while, and wait for the spring to enter the mountains."
"That's exactly what we mean, so we're going to bother you for a while." Zhan Yunyi nodded, and it's true that going into the mountain at this time is courting death, and it's useless for the master of Liangchuan to be in a hurry.
"Why are you so alien to me?" Xue Fan smiled, "Let's go, go to my residence first."
The two followed Xue Fan to his mansion. Unlike the nobles in Syracuse, City Lord Xue Fan's residence was quite low-key. Although the layout was simple, it was also plain and clean. One could tell that the owner here had extraordinary taste.
"Hey, I was so busy talking to you that I almost forgot that I still have an appointment with someone." City Master Xue Fan tapped his forehead, obviously regretful. "Sorry, I have to go to the appointment first." Xue Fan was about to leave when suddenly a guard stepped forward and whispered something in his ear. Xue Fan looked serious and waved the guard to leave.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Yunyi asked Xue Fan's preoccupation.
"There are some trivial things to deal with," Xue Fan frowned, "I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the appointment for a while, and I have to send someone to inform me."
Seeing Xue Fan's solemn expression, Zhan Yunyi didn't ask further, "Who is it that you value so much?"
"It's a little gentleman who is proficient in Tianji chess. He came to the mansion two months ago and broke my chess game in just three moves. Now he is my disciple." Xue Fan explained.
Zhan Yunyi became interested as soon as he heard it, "Oh? This person is so powerful. I just happen to be studying Tianji chess, why don't I take a look for you?"
"Since when did you become interested in playing chess?" Xue Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't think about him, this little gentleman is a serious person."
"Don't worry, go and get busy with your work." Although Zhan Yunyi made a strong promise to him, Xue Fan obviously still didn't believe his nonsense.
Zhan Yunyi left Qian Jiangyue in the wing room and went to look for the little gentleman who could play chess. He heard from Xuefan that he lived in Xinuan Pavilion, and it was really cold in Snow City this season. Zhan Yunyi pushed open the door of the Nuan Pavilion , This place is really nice, as soon as I entered the door, I felt that the cold air on my body was dispelled.He casually took off the black cloak he was wearing, and walked through the screens into the inner room.Someone inside has been waiting for a long time.
Even in the Nuan Pavilion, this person still seems to be shy of the cold. He is wearing a rather thick white fox fur, and his long black hair is casually draped over his shoulders. Twirling a black jade chess piece with his fingertips, his presence makes the whole space quiet and peaceful, just like a painting.
Zhan Yunyi raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, his dark green eyes gleamed dangerously, like a wolf that had found its prey.
"It's rare for the city lord to be late today." The man still didn't open his eyes and said leisurely.
Zhan Yunyi approached, "The city lord can't come today, why don't I play chess with my husband?"
Finally realizing that something was wrong, the chess piece in his hand fell unsteadily, and he opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him in horror.
"You made it easy for me to find you, my lord." Zhan Yunyi slowly approached step by step.
Xi Yan's eyes widened, the gray pupils looked like blind people, "You, why are you here, don't. Don't come here!" Finally, Master Zhizhe couldn't calm down, and stepped back unconsciously, his voice trembling a little, Probably the bad memories Zhan Yunyi left for him were too deep.
Xi Yan huddled in the white fox fur, staring wide-eyed, like a furry fox, it might be more appropriate to say that it is a rabbit that only wants to bite people.
"Why can't I come? By the way, last time you left without telling us, shouldn't we settle it carefully?" Zhan Yunyi sneered.
Xi Yan calmed down, showing contempt on his face, "You have disrespected those who know you repeatedly, and I should settle the score with you." However, seeing Zhan Yunyi's unkind expression, Xi Yan shrank back without confidence, damn it What's wrong with me.
Zhan Yunyi raised the corners of his lips, his smile made people feel like a spring breeze, but it made Xi Yan's hair stand on end, he must be thinking about how to trick himself again.
"Master Zhizhi, I've forgotten it, I've always been very rude to you, so," as expected, Zhan Yunyi suddenly rushed towards Xi Yan, restrained his hands and pressed him on the soft couch, "You won't be offended if I do anything to you."
Xi Yan had already guessed that there would be such a development in the end, and he grabbed the chessboard and threw it at Zhan Yunyi's head, but was caught by the numbness of his wrist. The shaking chessboard fell to the ground, and the pieces crackled and fell off both of them.
"Presumptuous!" Xi Yan was impatient.
"My lord, please keep your voice down. This is the mansion of City Lord Xue Fan. It's not good to be seen like this."
Xi Yan snorted coldly, turned his head away and stopped looking at him. "Speaking of which, why did Lord Zhizhe come to be the servant of the city lord of Snow City? It's really puzzling."
"Do you threaten me?"
"How dare I, I'm just stating the facts." Zhan Yunyi raised his eyebrows.
"Even if this kind of thing is told, no one will believe it. Those who know are now staying in the temple." There was a sarcasm in Xi Yan's tone.
"That's right," Zhan Yunyi was thoughtful, "Then what about a person of unknown origin who colluded with the commander of Liangchuan Shazhihai and worked hand in hand with a corrupt regime?"
Xi Yan's expression finally changed a bit, even with a hint of ferocity, if you dare to destroy my plan, you will definitely die without a whole body, "Oh, there is no need to drag yourself into the water if you want to threaten me, Xue Fan like you The city lord will naturally suspect you." That's right, who wouldn't have doubts about the pawns from other countries sneaking into their own country for no reason?
"How do you know that Xue Fan won't trust me? Our friendship is pretty good. What, do you want to take a gamble?" Zhan Yunyi pondered for a moment, "Actually, you also have your own goals. If you don't want to do bad things, it's okay, but ..."
Xi Yan felt angry, "What exactly do you want?"
"Let me hug you, and then I won't do anything to you."
"..." Xi Yan was speechless, what on earth was this guy thinking, but a few days ago he was taken advantage of a lot, hugging him is nothing, and it can save some trouble, Xi Yan struggled for a while, and finally compromised, "Hug it, just give it a shot."
Zhan Yunyi threw herself into Xi Yan's arms excitedly like a child, buried her head deeply in Xi Yan's neck, and almost greedily felt the faint breath of ice and snow on his body. hostility.
What's going on with this guy, there's no end to it, Xi Yan is a little impatient.
"Sir, I'm so sorry, I'm here..." Someone came into the Nuan Pavilion, he was obviously shocked by the scene in front of him, Zhan Yunyi and Xi Yan raised their heads at the same time, Xi Yan gasped, "Master Xuefan, don't mistake me ..."
Zhan Yunyi interrupted him, "Why did you come back so soon, this little gentleman and I hit it off right away, and we were discussing chess theory." He firmly held down the jesting words that were about to get up, and said solemnly.
How shameless, Xi Yan scolded secretly.
"This..." City Master Xuefan looked at the ambiguous scene in front of him, Zhan Yunyi was pressing on Mr. Xiao, and Mr. Xiao had a refusal expression on his face, and suddenly felt embarrassed, "Sorry to bother you. "After finishing speaking, he left as if fleeing.
"City Lord!" Xi Yan wanted to cry, but City Lord Xue Fan must have misunderstood. "Get off!" Xi Yan's eyes were red with anger.
"Okay, okay, just get out." Zhan Yunyi was afraid that Xi Yan's raising his hand would be a critical blow, so he immediately rubbed oil on the soles of his feet, and did not forget to leave a sentence before doing it, "I will come to see you again." Angrily, Xi Yan bluntly grit your teeth.
Xue Fan opened the letter sent by his confidant, feeling very worried. Sure enough, something happened in the south, and it was inevitable in the end.

It was late at night, and the winter night in Xuecheng was very difficult. Xi Yan wrapped himself tightly in the fox fur. Even so, it was still cold, the cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.The flames of the candlestick were flickering, and the last chess piece was dropped. Xi Yan sighed, and retracted his cold fingertips into his sleeves. It was very close to the Kuninte Snow Mountain, so it could be regarded as returning to his hometown.Speaking of Xuecheng's Xueshi lineage, he can be regarded as his descendant. It is a wonderful chance that he can feel the familiar bloodline in Xuefan.
Xi Yan was in a trance, and couldn't remember anything. He couldn't remember the events of the year, his tribe, hatred, and love. Time is really terrible. Even the most important memories will be erased. It is not the gods who trapped him, but It is the time that goes on and on forever, devouring memories.
Master Xianshen... Xi Yan recalled what happened after he was brought back to the temple.
Xi Yan looked at the white stone bricks engraved with curse marks under his feet, his fingers trembled slightly, and it was like this every time, whenever he saw a glimmer of hope, Lord Xianshen would ruthlessly smash it to pieces. Is it his pleasure? How many times does he have to repeat it if he wants to see his desperate expression.
After a long time, Xi Yan swayed almost out of strength. He held on to the stone gate, and the giant beast on the stone gate hurt his hand. Ah Xie... He muttered in his heart, and immediately straightened his back and walked towards the interior of the temple. The time when the Formation of Time stopped here, there was not even a breath of wind.
Lord Xianshen's whereabouts are uncertain, and he is often not seen for decades, and the one who spends the long time with him is Ah Xie, the divine beast left by the mother goddess and sealed on the stone gate.Before I knew it, I went back to the Mother Goddess of Lingyi Mountain, where the mother god of creation was enshrined. Every 30 years, the long-closed nine doors would be opened here to accept the worship of monarchs from all over the world.
Xi Yan took a deep breath and entered the deepest part of the temple, where the Xianshen had long been waiting for him.The last time I saw him, I had a big fight with him, probably because I was really angry. Xianshen almost took away his sky mirror. I thought I would be killed, and I thought I could be freed. Leaving myself here, I don't even care about Mo Ling trapping me
