Nine Nights Frost

The number of demons has always been very limited, and so far there are less than 300 people, scattered in Weiyu Mountain and Huanliu Desert.

The winter solstice celebration is approaching, and the demons have arrived at Mount Weiyu one after another.

Immortals and humans have black eyes and black hair, dragons have blue hair and blue eyes, monsters and filthy people often no longer have human forms, and demons have inherited the appearance of gods, hair color and eye pupils. The colors vary.

On the first day of the winter solstice celebration, the grand meeting was held in the main hall of the Temple of Devouring God, and there was a lot of toasting and jubilation.

The vast majority of people who are demons still cannot forget the honor of being a god. The program of the dinner tonight is completely held in accordance with the moon swallowing event of the gods.After toasting and drinking three glasses, all kinds of delicacies were presented one by one.

During the period, people kept coming up to toast me.

At first, it was all polite greetings and flattery, but then everyone drank more and more, and many people gradually became a little bit unrestrained.Some people unbuttoned their fronts, some knocked wine glasses down on the table, and some pulled their personal attendants over to hug him and sit on their laps.

The diva still sang the same happy song that was often played at the moon-swallowing event: Time is short like a spring dream, fame and fortune are as contemptuous as autumn clouds, coming and going, hard work, everything is preordained.

Today's wine is good, three cups are hard to drink, and it is rare to see a new tree outside the window.

The bright moon in the sky is also cloudy and sunny. You and I laugh for a while and go on a blind date.

My eyes wandered across the hall, and I softly asked Su Lan beside me: "Where's Ting Xia? Why didn't I see him? Didn't he come?"

Su Lan was stunned: "Star Master, Ting Xia passed away a month ago."

"What's going on?" I frowned, "Does anyone dare to offend my demons?"

Complicated emotions filled Su Lan's violet eyes, "No, Star Master. Ting Xia's lifespan is just over, so..."

I hesitated for a moment, then waved my hand silently.

Su Lan backed away silently.

This is the third news of the natural death of the demons that I have heard after I ruled the demons.

The lifespan of humans and filthy races is less than a hundred years, the lifespan of immortals, dragons, and monsters is about 3000 years, and the lifespan of gods and demons is more than ten thousand years, and the stronger the power, the longer the lifespan. Can live for billions of years.

But no matter how long the lifespan is, there will be a moment of end, and the gods and demons will also face the death of their lives.

Human beings expect us to grant them eternal life. In fact, there is no such thing as eternity. It is only a few thousand years of extra life, which is already called "permanent" for human beings.

The gods are gone, and the demons themselves are sterile, and there will be no new demons. This race is doomed to perish.

Maybe millions of years, maybe tens of millions of years, one day, I may be the only demon clan that exists, and I will face everything in the future alone.

I looked at the bright lights in front of me, but I had already foreseen the end of the song in the future.

It's not a good feeling to see through everything like this.

I thought of Xinglin again, and remembered that when I locked him in the Palace of Immortality, I asked him hysterically, "Why can't you love me? Why don't you even try? Why don't you even have a shred of hope?" Would you like to leave it to me?"

His answer was so calm and so meaningful.

He said, "I have been waiting for someone who can make me stay away from loneliness. Shen Yin, you can't do it."

At that time, I couldn't understand and didn't want to understand. I just thought it was just an excuse.

Now, after tens of millions of years, I have been able to understand.

The kind of transparency that sees the end of everything brings nothing but endless loneliness.

I was directly created by Xinglin, and some places are too similar to him.Standing in the position where one person is under one person and above ten thousand people, I can no longer have others in my eyes. I always feel that he is my only choice and the right choice.I am afraid of living alone, so I must be with him.

But he already understood everything.

So she took pity on me and rejected me without hesitation.

Now I also understand, but after pushing him into the ending of being separated from his lover.

Gradually, the first night's dinner came to an end. Most of the demons were drunk, some were humming unsung tunes, some fell asleep on the table, and were taken down by the attendants to rest.

I also drank a lot, but my mind is still clear.

The maid behind me poured another glass of fine wine for me. Just as I picked up the glass, a sapphire-haired demon came up to me and stretched out the glass to me, "Xingzhu, Tonghong toasts you!"

After I swallowed the wine in the glass, Tong Hong had already filled another glass, and sat face to face with me.

Su Lan at the side wanted to help him up, but Tong Hong hiccupped and pushed her away.

I waved my hand to signal her to step down and drink a full glass with Tonghong.

Tong Hong was already completely drunk, he shook the fine wine in the glass, and suddenly said without thinking: "Star Lord, tonight I suddenly thought of Master Taichang."

The name that no one has mentioned for too long made me startled, and then I remembered that Taichang was the eastern king of the protoss. He had green hair and green eyes, and often appeared in the appearance of a girl, but he spoke and acted like a man. group.

Back then when I was the King of the North, I never paid attention to others except Xinglin, so I gave the impression that I was withdrawn and gloomy.

The king of the west, Bai Shang, is arrogant and self-willed, while the king of the south, Zhe Dan, is modest and polite but keeps a proper distance from everyone. Only Tai Chang is warm and open-minded, and is very kind even to the lower-level gods, so he is very popular among the whole gods. Good, but also has many admirers.

Tonghong was slurred, but with a smile on his face, "Master Taichang is really pretty, her hair and eyes... are the color of spring, and when she smiles, her eyes are crooked... like two little crescent moons, I really... really I like him. How much I like him... So one day when I was drunk, I wanted to kiss him... I was punished, and then... I became a demon."

"Master Shen Yin...Master Shen Yin, don't shake it, I won't be able to see you clearly." He looked at me with blurred eyes, and even changed his name, and he couldn't tell the north from the south when he was drunk, "Shen Master Yin, do you know? At that time, I followed you against the Protoss, I hated the Protoss...Why do they live in Tanhua City, and we can only hide in that shitless Huanliu like cockroaches... I live by eating souls. Those human beings whose souls were eaten by me are all scared like something... I thought we all like to eat them! Who knows, those things are really fucking unpalatable! Sticky, When I smell that smell, I feel nauseous... vomit..."

Tonghong retched a few times, but he didn't spit out anything, "I hate those protoss, what can they be proud of... Without the natal flower, they are probably not as good as me! But I have never hated... I have never hated Lord Taichang...why did he disappear? After the great war, I couldn't find him no matter how hard I searched...Master Shen Yin, do you think I have harmed Master Taichang? Maybe...maybe it is I killed him. I really didn't think about it... really didn't think about it..."

Tonghong sniffled, "Actually, I haven't dreamed of him for a long time, but I don't know why... I suddenly dreamed of him last night. Mrs. Taichang raised his sword to kill me, I was very scared... just from the dream Woke up."

"Master Shen Yin," he suddenly grabbed my sleeve, and stared at me with dull eyes, "Master Shen Yin, do you think I'm going to die? When I woke up last night... I found that I had a white hair..."

Hearing this, I was startled, and couldn't help but look at Tong Hong's long sapphire-colored hair.

The hair color of the demons varies, but they all turn white at the end of their lives.

From the appearance of the first gray hair to death, it took only ten years. For the protoss with a life span of more than ten thousand years, this is just equivalent to the blink of an eye.

Tears slowly rolled out of Tonghong's sluggish eyes, "I know I'm bad, and I've made mistakes many times... But, but I really don't want to die, I never thought about what it would be like to die... Lord Shen Yin, I Scared... I went there when Ting Xia was about to die, his skin was wrinkled, he looked like a monkey, he was so ugly, he used to love beauty so much...Master Shen Yin, I was really scared...I was scared..."

He shivered and curled up into a ball, sobbing for a while, then suddenly lay down on the table and cried again, without even realizing that Sulan came over and patted him on the shoulder.

But his soft sobbing did not attract too many people's attention, the singer's charming singing overwhelmed everything.

I sat alone behind the table, holding the wine in my hand, but never passed it to my mouth, just watching the singing and dancing in front of me.

＊＊*

By the time the banquet officially ended, Dongfang had already faded.

The attendants sent their masters back to their residences, and I also returned to the bedroom of the Temple of Devourer.

It was getting brighter and brighter, and I tossed and turned in bed, but I couldn't fall asleep anyway.During the time when I couldn't fall asleep, I inexplicably thought of many things in the past.

Those painful, bloody memories emerged one by one, almost reburying me.

Finally, I put on my clothes and got up, and simply took advantage of the morning light to walk around, but unknowingly came to the side hall.This is where Lu Mingchen lives these days.

I lifted the bed curtain, sat down beside his bed, and looked at him quietly.

In the morning light, his brows were as bright as jade, but the corners of his mouth were slightly drawn, showing his originally stubborn personality.

For some reason, my mood suddenly calmed down.

I thought about the short period of one and a half years from the first time I met him to now, but I didn't expect things to develop as they are now.People often say that the world is unpredictable, and it does make sense when you think about it.

From the temptation that he tried his best at the beginning to the bold and false words in front of me now, I am sure that he must have come with a specific purpose, and whether he really has deep affection for me now makes people unable to judge rashly.

But for sure, I enjoyed his company.

Although it is still far away from the feeling of love.

I don't know how long I stared at Lu Mingchen until he slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing me sitting on the edge of the bed, he stretched out his hand to me in a daze, pulled me to lie down beside him, then hugged me around his chest, and closed his eyes again.After a while, he heard the sound of his even breathing, and fell asleep again.

I wonder if he thought he was dreaming just now.

But the comfort of being surrounded by warmth is really good. It didn't take long for me to feel drowsy, and I gradually fell asleep with peace of mind.

……

When I woke up again, the night had already fallen, but what I saw when I woke up was Lu Mingchen's bright eyes.

I looked at him for a while and asked him, "Aren't you hungry after lying down like this for a whole day?"

There was vivid joy in his eyes, "I didn't think of this when I saw you."

Hearing these words, I shook my head amusedly and sat up. Lu Mingchen immediately helped me get dressed, and then began to tidy up my clothes.

He was still smiling until the maids arranged the dinner neatly and we sat down facing each other.

I helped him put vegetables into the bowl, "What are you happy about?"

"Why didn't you wake me up?" He asked me back, while eating those dishes, "I thought I was dreaming, dreaming that you were looking at me all the time."

I didn't have much appetite, so I stopped after eating a little, and asked casually, "What are you doing these days?"

"I've read a lot of books, but I didn't expect such a rich collection of books here. I saw some things related to spells, but I didn't get to know them before, so I didn't quite understand them." The human youth showed a confused expression.

I brought him some more food, "Spells are strictly controlled by the Immortal Clan and the Flood Dragon Clan. It's normal if you haven't seen them before. If you really want to learn, I can teach you, but you have to start from the most basic." Start studying, the books here are too esoteric for you at this stage. However, there is indeed no interesting place to go in Weiyu Mountain. After a while, we can go to the wilderness, except It’s been a long time since the stars gathered together, and I haven’t left Mount Weiyu for a long time, and I don’t know what the plain of Guangdu has become now.”

"Really?" Lu Mingchen gradually restrained his joyful expression, and said in a very serious tone, "Star Lord, I'm really happy today, really."

"But..." He suddenly looked at me worriedly, "Star Master, did something happen today?"

"It's just a small matter." In my heart, I was slightly surprised at the young man's sensitivity.

After a pause, I still said, "Ming Chen, have you ever seen death?"

My words made the young man put down the chopsticks in his hand. He looked at me for a while, then suddenly held my hand, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

I didn't answer.

The young man glanced at the untouched food in front of me, and said slowly: "Yes, Star Lord. In fact, I have seen too many deaths, starting from a very young age. Compared with demons and immortals, human beings It is really too weak, sometimes a wind and cold can kill a person, and many people gave up their lives for various reasons."

"Actually, before I met you, I liked someone, when I was 13 years old."

"She is a girl, the same age as me. When I first came to that terrible place, she taught me a lot of things, such as how to survive the time of being very hungry when I was punished not to eat..." the young man Laughing self-deprecatingly, "She is very beautiful, and there is a pear dimple on the left side of her face when she smiles. We made an appointment to escape from there. But it didn't take long for her to be 14 years old, and she was sold on the first night." It was a good price, and I haven't really seen her since. The only time I saw her was when she was carried out on the second day when she was rolled up in a tattered straw mat. I couldn't see her face. Wearing the silver bracelet I bought her earlier."

"Mingchen..."

There was a bitter smile on the corner of the young man's mouth. I walked over and hugged his head in my arms while standing.

The young man continued softly, "From that moment on, I swore that I would never fall in love with anyone again."

He suddenly looked up at me, and the arm holding my waist trembled slightly, "But Star Master, I still fell in love with you again. But it doesn't matter this time, it doesn't matter this time, right? You are so powerful, no one can You caused harm, right?...I...don't want to see the person I love die in front of me again."

He buried his head in the clothes on my chest, and his arms were so hard that I felt pain.

I gently stroked his hair comfortingly, gradually relaxing him.

After a while, I said slowly, "Ming Chen, don't think about those tragic images anymore. I have experienced death before, and I know what it feels like. People who are truly carefree will not feel pain because of death. People who don't want to face death must have something in their heart, so I think that girl must be attached to you. You have brought her happiness, and she has brought you happiness. You have to believe that she must have had A very happy moment, and this kind of happiness may not be available to a person with a long life. In this world, at least you remember her, and she will always live in your memory. This is the new gift you gave her. life."

No life is eternal, and no matter how long the road is, there will be an end.

The so-called real death is not the end of simple life.But one day, the person who remembers you is no longer there, and the person who is there has gradually forgotten you.When the gaps in memories are gradually filled, death will truly come.

Love may cause great pain, but if this pain is missed, it will be a more painful thing.

Love will make one person's life continue in the memory of others. When I open my eyes, you see the world with me; when I close my eyes, you sleep with me.

When my life is over, we will die together.

When this day comes, life and death will no longer be the distance between you and me.
