Fengmou in troubled times

I don't know if the mountain wind is too strong, the blown snowflakes swirled up and then fell down, just like snow falling in Shaohua Valley where there is no season.

Ling Yan and Liu Yin sat side by side on the huge rock on the top of the mountain. From this angle, the entire Xianlin Village, which is shaped like a yin-yang fish, can be seen at a glance. Looking at the past through the shadowy thick fog, one can't help but feel a little like standing on the clouds overlooking it. The illusion of the world.

"Have you really decided?" Turning his head to look at Liu Yin for a while, Ling Yan looked at the cold and beautiful face that was almost the same as 20 years ago, recalling the scenes when he first met when he was young, and finally Can't help but ask.

Nodding slightly, Liuyin just looked at the village down the mountain, wondering if she remembered the time when she and Tingxue went to live in the village for a while, there was a trace of tenderness in her eyes, but it was replaced by indifference in an instant, as if a lifetime had passed in the blink of an eye. "It's been two days."

Hearing his calm and calm tone, Ling Yan's heart skipped a beat, he gritted his teeth to suppress the lingering sense of loss in his chest, and pretended to smile relaxedly: "Yesterday, Yin Ran and Su Yun took people to help the villagers move out. , I guess it’s almost time to move now.” Seeing that Liu Yin didn’t mean to answer, Ling Yan was not discouraged, and continued: “The devil received your invitation, so he should have guessed that you had already made the arrangements. So are you sure he will come as promised?"

Liu Yin finally turned around, but her eyes did not fall on Ling Yan.He seemed to be in a trance, his eyes were fixed on the snow, but his eyes seemed to be burning with fire, reflecting his fiery red clothes, as if he wanted to burn everything up. "He will definitely come." Liu Yin laughed lightly as she spoke, the smile that didn't reach her eyes coupled with that indifferent expression made her extraordinarily weird and unpredictable. "As long as he wants to continue refining that pill, he will definitely come."

The smile on his lips gradually expanded, and finally turned into a sneer, "Besides, he is such a proud and conceited person, how could he look down on the obstacles I set up." More than ten years have passed, and the demon king Lin Fei in his memory It has gradually become blurred, but the hatred in Liu Yin's heart has never faded away. "In his eyes, apart from that unknown elixir, what else can he not get easily? I know that Tingxue and I are nothing more than ants to him, the master of the demon world. But, I want him to understand , There is a price to be paid for usurpation.”

"Then what is the price you have to pay?!" Almost blurting out, Ling Yan couldn't help grabbing Liu Yin who was about to walk away, and persuaded unwillingly: "There are always other ways to get the best of both worlds, why bother?" ..."

Liuyin slowly broke free from Ling Yan's fingers holding his wrist, her slightly raised side face was resolute and resolute like an ice sculpture. "I've been waiting for too long, and Tingxue has been waiting too long... Ling Yan," opening Ling Yan's fingers bit by bit, Liu Yin felt a little cruel, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch, " I'm actually very happy, really."

He clearly knew that Liu Yin had decided that he could not dissuade him at all, but he still couldn't help but want to stop him, even if there was a chance of one in ten thousand... Unfortunately, the chance of one in ten thousand is really too slim... Ling Yan took a step back and sat down on the big rock that was once again covered with snow, watching the bright red figure gradually disappear into the vast white snow, feeling as if the flying snow was about to bury him.He is a cultivator, and he has never experienced Liu Yin's love so strong that he could sacrifice his life.But looking at Liu Yin, he seemed to be able to understand that kind of emotion that can be called love even if it is because of that person, even if it is separated by life and death.

He sat there blankly, unknowingly, thinking of many past events, even the slightly warm past with his junior junior sister and senior senior brother.Even if a person can never go back to the past in this life, he will always unconsciously fall into the deep and unable to extricate himself because of the emotions in those memories.Especially when you are determined to give up something.Even if you tell yourself ten thousand times that there is nothing you can't let go of, there are still some people and things that are stuck in your heart like nails, and you want to cut them off, unless you scrape the flesh and scrape the bones and bleed profusely...

Ling Yan didn't know how long he had been sitting on the top of the mountain. The Ice and Snow Valley was always covered by thick clouds during the day, and the sunlight was already very thin as it struggled to penetrate, let alone judging the time by the position of the sun.He just sat there in slumber until the snowflakes from the wind almost turned him into a snowman.With a body protected by a fairy cultivation base, he couldn't feel the coldness of Feixue, but it felt like a deep wound had been torn out in his heart, and the cold wind poured in, exuding a great chill from his body.

"Ling Yan."

Raising his head in a daze, Ling Yan looked at Ning Xilou approaching from the snowflakes. That expressionless face that had been eroded by the years and vicissitudes, how could it look like it was 20 years ago?

"West Building." Brushing the white snow all over his head and body nonchalantly, Ling Yan habitually brought up a smile at the corner of his mouth, which was a habit he had developed over the years, showing that he was no longer the ostentatious person he used to be. The young man is the mysterious master of the Rongshao Kingdom. "You want to find Liu Yin? He just went back."

Ling Yan who said this sentence firmly, got Ning Xilou's silence and shaking his head in return.Ling Yan, who couldn't help being a little astonished, paused, not because he was so confident in his own deduction, but because he unconsciously thought about the problem as he did when they first met 20 years ago.At that time, they were about the same age as Yin Ran and Su Rong now. It was the frivolous time when they were young, riding horses, singing songs, drinking cups and swords.Shaoyimo is the eldest brother, although he has nothing to do with prudence, he is the one who takes care of them the most; Fengtong is the most resourceful, mature and prudent one, what is even more rare is that as long as Fengtong speaks out the truth, even the most unruly Liu Yin also had to obey; while he and Liu Yin, although their personalities were vastly different, both had the willful and willful virtues, causing trouble for everyone; as for Ning Xilou...

Ling Yan took off the wine jug on his waist, and took a big gulp as if he was drinking in the past.The mellow and mellow wine burns down the throat and into the stomach, and the long and warm aftertaste steams up a puff of heat, which rushes to the top of the sky with a bang, like the shadow of a hazy candle, making people dizzy.He watched Ning Xilou take his flagon naturally, and in his blurred vision, he seemed to be able to find a trace of the upright and stubborn young man from that rigid face with great effort.Ling Yan looked at it, and with that little bit of alcohol, he opened his mouth without hesitation: "Xilou, Liuyin is no longer willing to wait any longer. So, what about you?"

Frowning deeply, Ning Xilou just lowered his head and held the jug, serious and focused.Ling Yan never thought that his drinking capacity would become so bad, and just after taking a sip, he was so confused that he could recall many scenes from the past.The first time he urged Ning Xilou to drink, he seemed to be doing the same thing, holding the jug and lowering his head, as if he was fighting against the guilt in his heart.But Ning Xilou would always drink in the end, probably because he was afraid that Liuyin would laugh at him.

Although they were still young at that time, they could see that Ning Xilou treated Liu Yin differently after a long time.Sometimes I want to ask Ning Xilou, who is so honest and upright, why he has a special liking for Liuyin who is flamboyant and fiery, but I just think about it, no one really ran to ask.Ling Yan vaguely remembered that because Liu Yin always deliberately avoided Ning Xilou's feelings that Ning Xilou was not good at expressing, they had always maintained a relationship similar to friends.Until Liuyin brought Tingxue to see them for the first time.

Although they were a little surprised and worried about Liuyin falling in love with their master at first, but when they really saw the elegant, quiet and beautiful Tingxue with their own eyes, they agreed not to say anything more.However, Tingxue's identity was still hidden from Ling Yan's eyes. When he made fun of Liu Yin about this, he didn't expect that Ning Xilou happened to hear it.What they didn't expect was that Ning Xilou's biological parents and all the clan members were innocently implicated and brutally exterminated because of the fight between goblins.

The so-called venting anger is sometimes because of the difficulty in one's own mind.Ning Xilou, who was unrequitedly in love but couldn't wait for the result, saw that the woman Liuyin loved turned out to be a monster with whom he could not share the sky, and his former admiration almost immediately turned into full of resentment.This kind of hatred and jealousy intensified as Liuyin and Tingxue got married happily, and finally became so strong that Ning Xilou made a mistake that he regretted for the rest of his life.

"Feng Tong should have guessed it a long time ago. He told Liuyin that there was an ambush on the road, and I intercepted and destroyed it." Ning Xilou said suddenly after taking a sip of wine. "I hesitated for a long time. When I arrived, Liuyin was already..." Ning Xilou felt his throat was blocked by a ball of cotton, and took another sip of wine before he could continue, "I'm holding He is covered in blood, only regret and heartache are left, wishing to kill himself with a sword immediately. I have always blamed the innocent Tingxue for my family's ruin and death, but seeing her rescue Liuyin recklessly, I ..."

If it wasn't for her childish and hateful anger, Liuyin would not be seriously injured and become what she is now, and Tingxue would not have been seriously injured and had to use the method of burning jade and stone to deal with the devil... Ning Xilou restrained it with the hand holding the flagon Trembling uncontrollably, years of guilt and remorse and that indelible admiration also made him suffer.He obviously hated the Yaozu the most, but he still couldn't help adopting Ziyi himself because he was born somewhat similar to Liuyin.But every time he sees Ziyi, he falls deeper into self-blame and cannot extricate himself, probably this is the retribution he deserves.

In fact, Ling Yan and the others already knew more or less about these things, but they didn't have any position to judge.He neither comforted nor blamed, but just quietly accompanied him.The villagers of Xianlin Village at the foot have probably moved to other places in an orderly manner under the command of Yin Ran, Su Rong and Lin Yuan.And for those who stayed here, it was time to put away their irrelevant feelings and concentrate on preparing for the battle.

……Dividing line……

Halfway up the mountain behind Xianlin Village, Shao Suyun, Feng Yinran, and Fang Linyuan stood side by side outside the cave leading to the Ice and Snow Shaohua Valley. Suddenly, the Xianlin Village under their feet was full of flames, billowing thick smoke straight into the sky, as if It will be swallowed up by the fire in the next second.

"It's finally started." The flames all over the sky reflected Shao Surong's face, in the flickering light and shadow, it was hard to see whether his expression was relieved or excited. "Are we really just staying here obediently?" He asked unwillingly while looking at the expressions of Feng Yinran and Fang Linyuan.Liuyin used Tingxue's surviving thousand-year-old snow lotus inner alchemy as bait to trick the demon Lord Linfei into attacking Shaohua Valley with his subordinates, but secretly contacted the five tribes of the demon world. The village set up an ambush, ready to defeat the demons in one fell swoop.At this time, the fire was ignited, presumably Ling Yan and the patriarch of the spirit world, Tan Ke'er, had joined forces with several patriarchs of the demon world to launch the prepared formation, and fought against the demon world.

Seeing the fierce scene of shouting and killing one after another at the foot of the mountain, Shao Suyun, who was holding the dragon-binding whip in his hand, couldn't help but feel eager to try. Liu Yin once said that the silver whip in his hand was a gift from the patriarch of the demon world, and it has the ability to kill demons and eliminate demons.Now that some demons have finally come, how can he be reconciled if he is not allowed to test the power of his own weapons? "Aran, Linyuan, can't your two weapons also kill demons? Master Ling and Patriarch Qin are only two after all, why don't we go to the village to help?"

Feng Yinran's saber was originally destroyed on the mass grave because of the poisonous corpse Tian Hai, but the "Severing Love" in his hand was brought back by Fang Linyuan after leaving the valley yesterday. In the hands of a swordsmith, it is also a magical weapon that can hurt demons and repel ghosts.Hearing Shao Surong's words, Feng Yinran touched the long sword on his waist, and shook his head shamelessly, "It is inevitable that some fish that slip through the net will find themselves on the mountain, we still guard the entrance to prevent What's more, "He pointed to Ning Xilou who was staring at the stone wall leading to Shaohua Valley in a daze behind him. Like the three of them, Ning Xilou, as a mortal, could only guard the entrance , there is no need to fight the demons head-on. "The two masters have both ordered us to keep an eye on Ning Xilou, and we can't let him go into the valley, and we can't let him go down the mountain."

Although he was very puzzled and unwilling, Shao Suyun curled his lips to see if he didn't refute Feng Yinran, but kept mumbling: "Why don't you two wonder what the demons look like at all?"

Fang Linyuan just smiled and didn't speak, although there is only one side of the cave, the inside of the Shaohua Valley and the outside of the valley are simply two worlds, the inside of the valley is full of snow, while the outside of the valley is full of beautiful flowers.He found a flat and clean stone and sat down, and took out a guqin that Feng Yinran "shun" out of the warehouse of Shaohua Valley. Fang Linyuan looked at Shao Suyun with a smile, and said, "Since you're so boring, why don't you play with me?" How about a song to pass the time?"

Seeing that both Feng Yinran and Fang Linyuan were resolute, Shao Suyun had no choice but to poke his lips as he agreed, put away his dragon-binding whip, and took out Lingyu Feiyin who never left him. "The two of you are really boring." Although he said so, he honestly sat down opposite Fang Linyuan, tilted his head and said angrily to Feng Yinran: "What do you want to hear?"

"Good boy, don't be angry." Feng Yinran wanted to touch Shao Surong's hair like sending a pet away, but he deftly dodged it. Feng Yinran, who lost his hand, had no choice but to give up, "Since they are fighting at the foot of the mountain It’s so painful, why don’t you try playing the marching song in an ensemble.”

Suddenly raised his head and glanced at the motionless stone wall, Fang Linyuan raised an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth, nodded and raised his hand, his slender fingertips slowly slid across the strings, a series of faint music brought a little madness and passion, but his mouth was light. Said: "I just hope that this time I can not give in to expectations, eliminate evil spirits and monsters, and change the world into a bright and bright place."

Lin Fei, the Lord of the Demon Realm who had hidden his figure, heard Fang Linyuan's words before he easily passed through the stone wall. I don't know if he was careless. I said it to him on purpose.Yawning noncommittally, Mojun Linfei followed Liuyin's aura and walked slowly towards the depths of Shaohua Valley, but he was thinking about whether to meet Fang Linyuan who regarded him as his deadly enemy after finishing the cunning Liuyin .

"The devil is indeed punctual."

Hearing this half-sarcasm, half-sarcasm praise, Lin Fei stopped and looked, and sure enough, he saw Liu Yin in a bright red robe appearing in front of him.Against the background of ice and snow, the groom's robe embroidered with double lotus flowers in gold thread was extraordinarily dazzling, which made the cold-faced Liu Yin even more gorgeous.Lin Fei looked up and down at Liu Yin, who was as cold as a piece of ice in front of him. He couldn't miss the tattoo-like snow lotus imprint on his snow-white neck. When I received the news that Xuelian Yaoyuan was still there, I was half-believed, but now I see that you are not a human, a ghost, and I am glad that I took the trouble to go this way." He walked towards Liuyin and stretched out his hand It seemed as if he wanted to hold Liuyin in his hand immediately and never let go, "Seeing that Tingxue left her inner alchemy in your body to save you, as long as you obediently hand over Tingxue's demon essence, I will not let you go!" Forget about you colluding with the demon clan and attempting to capture this deity alive."

Liuyin laughed loudly when he heard the words, and took off the bow on his back with a wave of his sleeves, drew the string and set up an arrow, aiming the silver arrow cluster at Linfei's heart, "I haven't seen you in more than ten years, the devil's arrogant temper It really hasn't changed at all." He said, pouring the monster power cultivated by Tingxue Neidan into the feather arrow, "Although I know myself well, I know that I am not your opponent, but it is definitely not my wish to sit and wait for death. . ” The silver clustered feather arrow pierced through the air as if stained with starlight, and poked Lin Fei’s chest, “I also ask the devil to give me some advice.”

As Liuyin's words blew away in the cold wind, ten silver arrows came one after another, as if a white light shrouded Lin Fei's head, sealing his escape route like a net, and killing intent was instantly revealed.The great murderous aura was approaching, but Lin Fei just stood there idly, the ink-colored marks between his brows suddenly seemed to flow with life, enveloping him in a thick cloud of black smoke.Every time Liuyin's ten feathered arrows penetrated an inch into the dense fog, the silver light on the tip of the arrow darkened a little, until the light disappeared, and Lin Fei easily swung it to the ground.

As if he had expected it, Liuyin just smiled, and shot another series of quick shots with his backhand. As the last feather arrow left the string, he suddenly moved quickly, and he was dressed in red and approached Lin Fei like a cloud of fire.Plain white fingers slid across the swirling snowflakes, and in a blink of an eye, countless blade-like petals transformed into Lin Fei's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Liuyin could display such profound and exquisite demon power, Lin Fei finally became serious, the black mist around him dissipated without a trace, but a blue flame ignited in his hand, collided with Liuyin's snow lotus petals, and suddenly felt like The fireworks burst into a light blue light and shadow in mid-air.In an instant, the entire snow field of Ice and Snow Shaohua Valley was reflected in a faint blue, and the broken white snow lotus slowly drifted down, mixed with the snowflakes, and slowly burned into ashes in the blue flame, and disappeared into the sky. In the cold wind.

Because of the huge momentum generated by the collision of those two forces, Lin Fei took a step back, his right hand behind his back trembling slightly.Even though he was the master of the demon clan who ruled the demon world and possessed superb mana, when he encountered Liu Yin's desperate style of fighting, he still suffered some internal injuries, but compared to Liu Yin, his situation was much better. "Liuyin," in that karmic fire, Lin Fei also incorporated a kung fu technique that could force out the demon essence in his body. At this time, the milky white bead overflowing with gloom was falling beside Liuyin, and the wind suddenly became more intense. Some light snow lotus aroma. "This deity has some admiration for you. But mortals are mortals after all, even if you keep this inner alchemy, you can't become a demon clan, let alone defeat this deity!" He said, taking the snow lotus demon essence into his palm, condescending Looking at Liu Yin lying face up on the snow, "You and Tingxue can die under the hands of this deity, and it is also a blessing for you two."

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth casually, Liuyin barely supported himself, and a trace of color flashed in his phoenix eyes, tilting his head and smiling at Linfei: "If you want to kill me with your own hands, the devil may not be able to do so."

Seeing his calm expression, Lin Fei couldn't help hesitating, before he could ask a question, suddenly there was a strong aura approaching from behind, so startled that Lin Fei immediately dodged to avoid it, but when he turned around, he saw a person with silver hair and purple clothes standing beside Liu Yin.

"Xiao Linfei, you have become more and more powerful these years." The unparalleled silver-haired man flipped the purple jade earring on his left ear casually, reflecting his beautiful purple eyes. It's better than the flying snow all over the sky. "Originally, I hated Long Yitian very much. But seeing you, I miss the days when he was in charge of Fan Bo."

Seeing the person's face clearly, Lin Fei couldn't help but his face changed slightly, and he was silent for a moment before saying: "The time of the demon king's retreat is much shorter this time."

The silver-haired man known as the Demon King smiled, and with a faint look, Lin Fei became alarmed. "My business, when is it your turn to say more?"

Although he was talking and laughing at Yanyan, Lin Fei, who knew his methods, felt a little terrified.Putting away the snow lotus inner alchemy calmly, Lin Fei's skills have naturally improved a lot over the years, but compared with the purple-clothed and silver-haired demon king Suxi in front of him, it's probably not worth mentioning.As the lord of the demon world but controlled by the demon king everywhere, Lin Fei was naturally very annoyed, and he didn't know why Su Xi, who had a special status, refused to be a good god and insisted on staying in the ruins to be a demon king.

Su Xi didn't speak, just waved his hand to help Liu Yin get up, looked at Lin Fei silently for a while, and then said slowly: "It sounds like those subordinates you brought have been cleaned up."

Lin Fei froze for a moment, his face changed several times, and finally he laughed softly, "It turns out that he didn't spare his life to hold me back for your demon clan." He shrugged nonchalantly, although Lin Fei's magic power was not as good as Su Xi's, But it is definitely several times higher than other monsters in the demon world, and Su Xi will always regard himself as an elder in front of him, so he definitely disdains to fight with him.Wanting to understand this, Lin Fei cupped his hands with a hippie smile, turned around and left, "Thank you, the demon king, for giving me the inner alchemy of the snow lotus, and I will change to the Japanese god and hold a banquet to thank you."

Seemingly sure that Su Xi would not stop him, Lin Fei walked out slowly step by step without even using spells.Su Xi frowned, but she really didn't intervene, she just turned her head to look at the pale Liu Yin, "With the friendship between Tingxue and me, even if you want me to kill him, it's fine. Why did you choose this way? "

After carefully tidying up her wedding clothes, Liu Yin touched the double lotus flower embroidered with gold thread on the hem of the big red dress. Although she smiled on her face, her tone was extremely cold and cruel, "Lin Fei wanted to remember her lover in the previous life for nothing. The elixir that killed my Tingxue caused us to be separated for many years. Now he gets Tingxue’s Yaoyuan and is full of joy to refine his elixir. When he takes the elixir, he will know what he loves or find When the one you love, but you have no choice but to die from poison, and your dreams come to naught, wouldn’t it be a better punishment?” Liu Yin said with a faint smile, her red dress and snowy face, enchanting and strange, “Although I have no chance to see that scene, I think it’s very good to think about it.” Wonderful."

Even the well-informed Su Xi couldn't help being a little dazed when he heard Liu Yin's words.Gaining one person can love the world at the same time, losing one person can ruin the common people, the word love really hurts people deeply... But he is only helping Liuyin for the sake of Tingxue's past kindness, so it is inconvenient for him to ask about his affairs.Now that what Liuyin entrusted was completed, Suxi didn't intend to stay any longer, and with a light sigh, he disappeared as quickly as when he came.

Liuyin didn't care about Suxi's going or staying. Losing Tingxue's inner alchemy, his body was rapidly depleted, so he had to grit his teeth and use the fastest speed to get to Tingxue before he was unable to move. The room of the ice coffin.The graceful woman in the coffin was wearing a fire-like wedding gown, embroidered with the same lotus flowers on Liuyin's robe, which was so beautiful that it burned people's hearts.This was originally embroidered by Tingxue for their marriage, but unexpectedly... Liuyin stepped into the huge ice coffin, lay beside Tingxue and hugged her in her arms.He originally wanted to be buried with Tingxue, so he carved this ice coffin with his own hands, and now he finally got his wish.

"Tingxue," softly calling the name of the woman in her arms, Liuyin put her forehead against Tingxue's cold forehead, and the smile on her face became softer and softer. , Waiting on the bridge for three years... After all these years, you are still waiting for me on the bridge foolishly?"

In the cold wind, there seemed to be a woman's sweet and soft laughter faintly, Liuyin hugged Tingxue tightly and closed her eyes with a smile, "You and I are left in Shaohua Valley..."

As his words fell, the walls of the cave leading to Shaohua Valley from the back mountain of Xianlin Village suddenly shook, and the stones collapsed in a blink of an eye, filling up the entire entrance of the cave.The only way to enter the Valley of Ice and Snow is nowhere to be found...
