Hot as China, cold as snow

The night in Cang Qiong Mountain was completely silent, and the villages seen after breaking the barrier were also plunged into the black night.

"Fortunately, it's not too late." At the entrance of the village, Liu Moran finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the dark night as usual.He thought about it and decided to rush to the patriarch overnight to inform him of the news.

Before approaching the patriarch's house, Liu Moran noticed the swaying tree shadows around him. This shadow reminded Liu Moran of the Desperate Building. The people hiding in the shadow of the night were very skilled. If Liu Moran hadn't experienced the cold black blade special If you give advice, you probably won't find this small flaw.Heiying didn't seem to notice Liu Moran, but just minimized the traces caused by his actions, lowered his voice, and opened the window to enter the inner room.

Liu Moran followed, guessing that this person should be Tong Shen's hired killer.The room had already been scented with incense, and the person inside was sleeping soundly. That person was very cautious in doing things, and he was still cautious.Seeing that the dagger was about to hit the patriarch's chest, Liu Moran attacked the killer from behind. The man reacted quickly to the murderous aura, put down the prey in front of him, and stabbed back with his backhand.I think it is well-trained, and it is not at the same level as the killers I have come into contact with before.

The two of them did these movements quietly, fearing to disturb the people who were still asleep.When the man turned around and saw that it was Liu Moran, he was stunned.The old patriarch lying on the bed didn't sleep well. Although there was incense to help him sleep, it didn't seem to be of much use to the patriarch with a high level of cultivation. Su Heng turned over unconsciously on the bed.But the two confronting each other stopped their movements at the same time.The man in black glanced at Liu Moran meaningfully, regardless of the prey in front of him, stepped back, and left through the window.Liu Moran hurriedly followed and chased after her.Strange to say, this time the red fox Hua Xi not only didn't help, but also took a leisurely nap nearby, basking in the moonlight, as if he wasn't worried that his master would suffer.

The two chased to the stable one after the other, Liu Moran insisted on catching him, but the man just hid and didn't attack, it seemed that it was a remote corner, and he was not afraid of being caught, so he was not in a hurry to escape .

"Who the hell are you? The killer hired by Tong Shen." Liu Moran was sure that this person was the one hired by Tong Shen to kill the patriarch. He was glad that he was able to stop the killing in time, but why was this figure so familiar? He didn't dare to guess.Liu Moran leaned over, made a fake move to attack him, but freed his other hand to take off his mask.The man seemed to be very familiar with Liu Moran, he had foreseen it long ago, blocked Liu Moran's hand, but did not hurt him, his eyes were gazing hotly.Liu Moran's move failed, his body lost his balance, and he fell to one side. Behind him was the fence. If he fell on it, he would be injured. When the man saw him, his eyes showed anxiety, and he turned around and hugged Liu Moran, and the two changed. In one direction, they all fell down. The man in black used his back as a cushion and protected Liu Moran in his arms. He slammed hard on the fence, making a gap in the fence.

Liu Moran took the opportunity to tear off the man's mask.The four eyes met, speechless, and the horse's uneasy neighing could be heard in his ears.

"You knew it was me, why didn't you show up? Why did you assassinate the patriarch when you knew about my relationship with the Ziwei clan?" Liu Moran fell into Leng Xuanren's arms and forgot to get up for a moment. The damaged stable ran out, even crashing into the cowshed next to it.Leng Xuanren pulled him up to a safe place, but he didn't even give a half explanation.

Liu Moran shook off his hand: "That's right, you are a killer, and you take money to do things. You don't show affection at all, so I am being unreasonable. Leng Xuanyan, have you never looked for me?" Leng Xuanyan didn't The words are acquiesced, Liu Moran smiled sarcastically: "It seems that you are doing well, the killer Tien Mian of Suominglou is a leader in the killer world everywhere, so I'm just pretending to be sentimental."

The horses and cows running outside startled the people in the village, and soon the torches were lit everywhere. When someone's voice was approaching, Liu Moran glanced outside, and turned his face away from Leng Xuanren: "You go!"

Leng Xuanyan didn't intend to move, Liu Moran turned his head and glared at him: "Still leaving, wait for them to catch you?" Leng Xuanyan took a step forward as if he had something to say, looked at the approaching crowd and Huo Guang, just hurriedly said: "Liu Moran, trust me. No matter what I do, I don't think it will be bad for you, so trust me." Leng Xuanyan turned and left after speaking. Just when he was about to disappear, he turned to look Moving his mouth in the direction of Liu Moran.Liu Moran saw it, and Leng Xuanren said silently, wait for me.

The torches were lit to illuminate the sky, and the villagers of the Ziwei tribe quickly gathered here, rushing back to the scattered horses and cattle, Liu Moran walked out of the shadows and was dazzled by the fire.Soon he was brought to the patriarch Su Heng and all the elders.

Liu Moran was pushed to the center of the crowd, and knelt down in front of the patriarch. You could see that the largest and oldest crape myrtle tree in the square was still in full bloom, but half of the tree had been scorched and withered.Liu Moran remembered the thunder before he was carried away by the light of the crape myrtle tree. Several months have passed, and the natural disaster has left traces after all.What remains unchanged is that Liu Moran has always been following the red figure, and the red fox Hua Xi will never leave.

"It's you, Liu Moran? Why are you here?" Elder Yuan Ai asked while leaning on a cane.Liu Moran knelt on the ground, raised his chest and raised his head, but didn't say a word, so he couldn't say that someone was going to assassinate Su Heng.If they ask, what about killers?Could it be that Liu Moran let him go.

"I'm asking you something. Is it possible that you will be dumb after not seeing you for a few months! It will be no good to meet you. On the day of the natural disaster, we Ziwei people live and die together, but you can use your own ability to escape, and you still have the face to come back." Tong Yao has been It's not a big match with Liu Moran, and every sentence in his words at the moment is thorny.

Liu Moran thought, could it be that the space tunnel opened that day was made by himself by using the ability of the Ziwei clan's blood?This is impossible.

"That's right." Someone beside him responded, "When I saw him this time, the horses and cows in the enclosure were restless, why don't they come out normally?"

"I think he is the scourge of the Ziwei clan. I don't believe that he can be the kind-hearted child Yun Che with clear eyes. You are a fake! You are still protecting him, the patriarch."

Liu Moran's eyes were sharp: "I am Yun Che, and I, Liu Muran, am Yun Che!" This sentence shocked a group of people, Liu Moran was unwilling to admit to life and death before, how did he change his temper this time.

"What's going on? He's Yun Che. Didn't he say he's Liu Moran? Why did he admit it? Don't just hear that it's a counterfeit, just make up a lie! After all, what are your plans for coming to our Ziwei clan? ?”

Liu Moran remembered what Yun Che had said to him after meeting Yun Che in the holy city.

Liu Moran raised his eyes and looked at everyone in front of him: "I am Yun Che, and Yun Che is me. The Yun Che who disappeared back then is me, but I have been away from the Ziwei clan for so many years, and I have used other names, Liu Moran, when I travel around the world." He Breaking free from those who restrained him, he tore open the front of his chest, revealing the five-colored crape myrtle flower on his chest: "The crape myrtle bloodline, this is the proof. I can tell lies, but this birthmark can never be fake What's more, my pure blue hair color, which is different from the black hair of my tribe, is a unique and [-]% throwback to my ancestors."

Su Heng waved his hand and was not surprised by his acknowledgment, but just changed the subject and asked: "Why did you appear here at this hour? What's the matter with these wild horses?"

"I rushed back overnight and was exhausted. When I led the horse to the stable, I accidentally startled the horse and broke the fence, allowing both the horse and the cow to escape."

Yuan Ai saw that Su Heng was deliberately asking Liu Moran some unimportant questions, so she couldn't help but asked angrily: "Then where were you then? If I remember well, old lady, didn't you always want to leave, didn't you want to leave?" Are you fulfilling your responsibilities as a returnee? There is such a good opportunity to leave Cang Qiong Mountain, why did you come back?"

"Because I saw Heaven's Punishment, the days when I returned to the Ziwei Clan made me feel family affection. In the past few months after Heaven's Punishment, I watched the lives of outsiders outside, thought a lot, and realized that I was wrong. Life is given by the Ziwei Clan, and it's time for me to pay the responsibility and complete the mission." Liu Moran's lie said that he didn't even bat an eye.

"Okay!" Yuan Ai seemed to believe him completely, and shouted: "It's good that you are willing to fulfill your responsibilities. It's getting late today, and the cattle and horses will disperse after returning to the pen! Patriarch, what do you think?"

Su Heng took a deep look at Liu Moran, whose face remained unchanged, and responded to Elder Yuan Ai's words: "Elder Yuan is right, everyone, please tell me tomorrow. He'er, take Yun Che to the guest room to rest."

"Yes, Daddy."

"Please call me Liu Moran. I have been familiar with this title for many years. Yun Che has not been called for a long time, and it is already unfamiliar."

Tong Yao watched from the side, and was naturally upset when he heard Liu Moran's words. He was about to scold him, but saw Xi Yuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, pulled Liu Moran's arm: "I'll just take him. Su He is a woman. No matter what, it's inconvenient." He pulled Liu Moran away from the crowd without a trace.No one spoke to the two along the way.

The night wind came and brought a gust of cold, only then did Liu Moran realize that his back was already icy cold, and although his face was calm, he was still sweating nervously.When the words 'I am Yun Che' are spoken, there is no regret anymore.

Liu Moran recalled that when he met Qingling, he was the real Yun Che. At that time, Yun Che asked Liu Moran with a negotiating attitude: "Let's make a deal!"

"What deal?"

"If you want, just be me!"

"what for?"

"You can see that every trace on your body indicates that you are an ancestor of the Ziwei clan. Why don't you call your name Yun Che after you return to the Ziwei clan?"

"Don't be kidding, don't you know that I'm not from here and I'm going to leave sooner or later?" They are connected with each other, and they can see the memory of their life experience by holding hands.Liu Moran thought of that person, and smiled softly: "What's more, I have to find Leng Xuanyan."

"How do you know that you will be able to leave? Since you are here, there must be a reason for coming here. Every arrangement of God has its own purpose. What's more, do you know how to leave? Also, don't say I hit you, so For a long time, you played music on the sapphire flute, the secret treasure of the Ziwei family, and your reputation has spread. If he wanted to find you, he would have come to you a long time ago. I think he is probably a heartless person. I am here Hua ManLou has long seen clearly that there is no reliable relationship in the world. The most reliable thing is your own hands."

"Don't talk nonsense, it won't happen." Liu Moran was a little nervous after hearing Yun Che's words: "I am who I am, and I will leave sooner or later. You are here."

Yun Che shook his head: "You're wrong, Liu Moran. I don't have the birthmark of the Ziwei tribe on my body, and even my appearance is ruined. Agree! You are me, this deal is suitable for you." Yun Che pointed to himself He pointed to Liu Moran again, very confident.

"Is there any advantage for me to make a deal with you? Why don't I know, I only know that if I get rid of your siege, no one will come to you again if I come forward." Liu Moran didn't take his deal seriously.

"News, I have the financial resources here, and I also have sources of information. You probably don't know who the owner of Huamanlou is? How could your news spread so quickly if you only rely on these customers? I didn't intervene. "

"You are the owner of Huamanlou? You help me pass the news? It's really a wishful thinking. You not only use me to disturb the sight of those who are looking for you, but also make me feel that you are helping me and making me owe you a favor." .”

"Smart, I admit to taking advantage of you! But isn't this compensation for you? I unconditionally support your financial resources behind the gossip, on the condition that you agree to become Yun Che. Look, you have the mark of the Ziwei clan, and more What's more, after experiencing the punishment of heaven, the entire Ziwei clan now believes that you are a throwback to the ancestors, and you cannot escape."

"Are you not afraid that I will expose you?" Liu Moran asked back.

"You forgot a question, no one will believe it. I don't have a birthmark and my appearance is ruined. Even if you don't agree to me, you will be recognized by the Ziwei people, so I am actually helping you. How about it? Answer or not, It’s okay, you don’t have to give the answer now, it’s a big deal, you can think about it.”

At that time Liu Moran didn't think about this question seriously at all, but when he saw Leng Xuanyan again today, his heart turned cold.After seeing the crape myrtle tree that had been burned down in half, the guilt towards the crape myrtle family that I had felt in my heart since I was a child came out, so I changed my mind.The Taoshan people beat him, scolded him, and taught him. He was once called a monster, and it was predicted that he would become the extermination of the Ziwei clan, but in fact, in that world, there was no one in the Ziwei clan except him.Now that he came to this space by accident and was treated as a lucky person by the atavistic people, maybe it's not bad to be 'Yun Che'.

It seems that the patriarch Su Heng and the elder Yuan Ai believe it now.

"It's here." Xiyuan's crisp voice called Liu Moran out of his memories.

Liu Moran felt a little sorry for him, obviously Xiyuan was the person he believed in the most when he came to this world, obviously he once said 'believe'.But now she can't bear to deceive him like this.

"Xiyuan"

"You don't need to say it, I know your reason for doing this." Xi Yuan made a silent gesture and smiled slightly: "I know who you are, and it doesn't matter who you are, the important thing is that you probably don't know What does it mean to be a member of the ancestors?" This young man still believes in Liu Moran at this moment.

"What does it mean?" Liu Moran felt uneasy while being moved. Is there anything else he doesn't know?

"'Yun Che' returning to the ancestors means sacrifice. There is only one way to appease the gods, and that is sacrifice. You will be sacrificed as a sacrifice. I really don't know whether your return is right or wrong."

The words "sacrifice" hit Liu Moran hard, he didn't want to die yet, remembering the weird smile on the corner of Yun Che's mouth, he didn't expect that Yun Che didn't tell himself the most important point.It made sense to contact each other before and after.Ancestors have divine powers that can calm God's anger and change God's will, so they are robbed by people with intentions. Misfortune happened to Yunxi when he was young, and Yunxi did everything possible just because he knew that he would be "sacrificed" Hiding from those men in black and the people from the Ziwei clan, Liu Moran was tricked into becoming Yun Che.

Liu Mo then regretted it, but at this moment he couldn't escape, would he really be treated as a sacrifice?
