flagship summer song

Chen Yao was acupointed by Xu Xuan, and he couldn't move his body. Through his clothes, he could only see the fire on the stone platform, and the big bat pounced back and forth on the stone platform, and sand and gravel fell down from time to time.

After a while, the big bat swooped down towards the stone platform again, but this time it failed to fly again. A huge flame rushed from the stone platform to the top of the cave, and the sparks scattered like iron chains, trapping it tightly. Caught the big bat.

He heard the shrill cry of bats.

The fire continued to extinguish for a long time, and he felt more and more uneasy. He took a deep breath and opened the acupoints. He quickly got up and jumped onto the stone platform.

Looking around, there are circles of fire on the stone platform, and above the fire circles are big bats bound by flame chains, exuding the smell of barbecue.

In the circle of fire, Xu Xuan sat on the ground with disheveled hair, staring blankly at something. There was a purple-red flame bird on his back, spreading its wings, as if it was about to fly out of his body at any time.

Chen Yao wanted to rush into the circle of fire, but as expected, the oil-paper umbrella jumped out in time to block him.

"You don't want me to go in alone, so let's go in together!" Chen Yao grabbed the oil-paper umbrella and jumped into the fire circle lightly.

When he fell into the circle of fire, the flames changed their combustion trajectory by themselves, as if he had entered a moving maze built by walls of flames.

The oil-paper umbrella helped him block the flames rushing towards him. While hiding, he carefully observed the changing trajectory of the flames, and suddenly felt familiar.

During these days at Xu Zhen's house, apart from treating illnesses and healing injuries, he just watched Xu Zhen's talismans.

Xu Xuan likes to create mazes, even drawing talismans can draw a maze. Chen Yao used the talismans he drew to solve them when he had nothing to do, and he often came to a dead end. In the first few days, he didn't go through a single time.

Seeing that he couldn't solve it, Xu Xuan reminded him: "You won't go the other way?"

Chen Yao patted his head, squinted his eyes and looked towards the center of the fire circle. Although there are many paths from the starting point of the maze, there is often only one solution from the end point. He wondered if all mazes were like this, at least in Xu Zhen The same is true of the mazes in the pen.

Chen Yao spotted the route, and while dodging the flames, he jumped into another jump passage when the flame wall was displaced. Anyway, no matter how the flame wall shifted, the correct path to the center of the fire circle would be impossible. won't go away.

Soon he was in the middle of the circle of fire.

Seeing him approaching, the purple-red flame bird flapped its wings, then slowly retreated behind Xu Ming.

"Xu Xuan!"

Xu Xuan woke up suddenly when he heard the cry, sat up from Chen Yao's arms, looked at the flames everywhere, then turned his head to look at Chen Yao, and stretched out his hands up and down to check the clothes on Chen Yao's body.

"How did you come up? The fire didn't hurt you, did it?"

"I'm fine," Chen Yao was slightly relieved when he saw Xu Bing's eyes recover, and explained the situation of walking the maze just now.

Chen Yao: "Is there something you are hiding from me?"

"No," Xu Xuan looked up at the poor big bat, grabbed the bamboo stick and struggled to stand up, but his legs seemed not strong enough to support him standing, Chen Yao bent down, picked up his knees and hugged him up.

"I'm fine, you put me down."

"Is it all right?"

Seeing Chen Yao's serious face, Xu Xuan opened his mouth and didn't dare to speak any more nonsense. He just turned his head and gently wrapped his arms around Chen Yao's neck, allowing Chen Yao to carry him out of the maze of fire rings he set up.

He was a little tired, and the flames behind him seemed to be the scene seen by the baby who was held by the husband back then.

The tinder left by that year has now hatched in him.

He needs a little more time.

When they came down to the stone platform, the fire on the stone platform was extinguished, and the big bat fell on the stone platform, panting for breath, it seemed that it could not fly for a while.

A small purple-red will-o'-the-wisp floated down from the stone platform and followed Xu Wei, who patted Chen Yao on the shoulder and said, "Let me down."

Chen Yao gently put him down, he stomped his feet, and could barely move around with the bamboo stick.

"I'm a little tired, why don't you take a rest in this cave?" He suggested, Chen Yao was also a little tired, nodded, and helped him to a corner of the cave wall and sat down.

Xu Xuan took out the steamed buns he brought in the morning from his pocket and gave them to Chen Yao, saying, "I knew I could eat some meat with some roasted bats just now."

Chen Yao frowned, he didn't have that appetite.

Xu Xuan was very hungry, so he ate two steamed buns in one go, and fell asleep leaning on Chen Yao's shoulder.

Although Chen Yao was tired, he couldn't fall asleep. He put his coat lightly on Xu Xuan's shoulders, and the will-o'-the-wisp fluttered up and down in front of him, like a guard.

Dressed in purple, he walked lightly in front of them, and the will-o'-the-wisp jumped out of the warning spark, and Chen Yao opened his mouth.

The little goddess didn't approach, but just put her index finger on her lips, signaling him not to speak, and beckoned him to come over. He looked down at the sleeping person beside him, carefully put him on the ground, got up and walked to the little goddess .

The will-o'-the-wisp didn't care about his departure, and still guarded Xu Zhen's surroundings.

Chen Yao glanced back and asked in a low voice, "Little Goddess, why are you here?"

The little goddess looked at him and smiled softly, shook her head, and said, "Yao'er, I'm not a little goddess."

Chen Yao was shocked, and looked at the little goddess who looked like his mother in amazement, and forgot to answer for a while.

"Little Goddess" stretched out her hand and gently touched Chen Yao's face, her eyes were full of kindness.

"Mother..." He called softly and knelt down on his knees.

"Little Goddess" hurriedly helped him up, raised his sleeves to help him wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Mother, why are you on the little goddess? She, why is she..."

The person in front of him sighed softly, but his eyes looked at Xu Zhen who was sleeping in a corner, and he said slowly: "It turned out that I listened to the old slave's nonsense and thought it was the child's father who falsely accused the elder brother to the court. Our Chen family ransacked and beheaded, so I asked ghosts and gods to cast spells... Did that child tell you about the price of dealing with ghosts and gods?"

Chen Yao shook his head.

"Little Goddess" smiled, and continued: "That's right, if it wasn't for Bai Yang, the child would have gone with his parents. I don't know what price I will pay for the crimes I committed. I just lost Bai Yang, I didn’t expect that ten years later, I would lose you too... It was that child who saved you, and you didn’t resent him for taking my life, and you didn’t continue my mistakes, I’m very pleased.”

"Mom, I don't understand..."

"It's normal if you don't understand. Your mother and I did another thing." She lowered her head and stroked her hair with a sad expression, and said, "Two years before you fell ill, the old slave who had been taking care of me told me about the things in the mountains. You know that unicorns don’t grow in places like Nanyuan. I didn’t believe it, so I went into the mountains with my old slave to see. There really are. I’m so excited. Thinking that the old slave would knock me unconscious while I wasn't paying attention, he carried me back into this bat cave... At that time, I didn't know that the old slave had made a deal with the devil with my blood and hair, and when I woke up , the demon gave me a baby girl, saying it was my daughter, she looked exactly like me, I was terrified at that time, I left the baby girl in the cave and fled home, I also took my Xun I lost it, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt sorry for the child. I wanted to go back and take her home, but I found that there were many bats in the cave. As soon as I entered the cave, they jumped at me and bit me. The old slave advised me not to go again , so as not to affect my reputation, I have never seen that baby girl again. I always miss that child, so I named her in the letter. It was agreed with Bai Yang a long time ago. If I gave birth It’s a daughter, so I’ll name it Yuehua, and I think that if the baby girl can survive, she must be like Moonlight, quiet and reassuring.”

"Mother didn't reincarnate because of that old slave?"

"Yeah, Mother said she would trade her life for you, what else can't let go, mother has saved people and killed people with her hands, there is nothing to be afraid of, mother is not afraid of death, but mother can't be reincarnated, this old slave will die after me He made a deal with the devil before, and he also used the little goddess to open Kitazawa's ghost gate."

The little goddess itself is a copy of Chen Yao's mother, an excellent soul container, and also a so-called sacrifice. If it weren't for Xu Zhen's two river lanterns that misplaced the formation, maybe Chen Yao's mother would be able to use the body of the little goddess that night. Come back to life.

"Why didn't he let mother go? The Chen family treated him so well, why did he treat us like this?"

"It's not me that he doesn't let go, it's the child from the Xu family." She looked at Xu Zhen, frowned, and said, "That child is a child of hell, and it is a sin to be born into the world, even if he doesn't hurt the world, it's a crime." There are still people in the world who want to get rid of him... You probably don't know the origin of our old slave. His ancestors were all Taoists who subdued demons. In his generation, he has fallen, but he is focused on revitalizing his family. He used me to kill the couple and Bai Yang, but he didn't expect that I would wake up and kill him in the end, so it's all over."

"Little Goddess" stood on tiptoe and touched Chen Yao's head, remembering that Chen Yao was so young when she left, and now she couldn't reach her anymore.

Chen Yao knelt down, kowtowed to his mother a few times, fell on the ground, and asked softly, "Mother, what will you do in the future?"

"Yao'er, mother just wants to see you. I didn't have the chance to look at you when we met before. When mother is gone, little goddess, she is your sister. Take good care of her for mother, okay?"

"Hmm..." Chen Yao clenched his fists tightly, tears falling down uncontrollably.

"That child, you like him, don't you?" The mother gently helped Chen Yao up and asked with a smile.

"Well, the boy wants to spend his whole life with him."

His mother looked at him, smiled, and said, "Oh, I don't understand you anymore, you can make up your own mind, whether it's long or not, talk about it if you have something to say, don't be like your mother, You're so confused, you don't know if someone took advantage of you, your father didn't like that old slave at the beginning, I think it would be nice to explain it clearly to your father at that time, he must hate me to death."

"Father... didn't hate mother, he didn't blame anyone."

"Really, but mother is still sorry for him, and I don't know if I can see him again after going down."

"can."

The two were stunned for a moment, and looked up to see Xu Wei standing behind them at some point, leaning on Mr. Zhu's bamboo stick in his hand.

"Little Goddess" opened her mouth and hurriedly knelt down for Xu Zhen, but Chen Yao hurriedly supported her.

"Mrs. Chen, I'll take you to see Mr. Chen, please return the little goddess to Chen Yao." Xu Wei pinched a piece of talisman paper in his hand, blood dripping from his fingertips, "Chen Yao, I want to take your mother away. "

Chen Yao bit his lip and turned his head away from him.

"sorry."

Xu Xuan lightly tapped the talisman paper on the forehead of the little goddess, and a white light floated from the little goddess. Chen Yao gently picked up the little goddess, but saw his mother nodded and smiled at him in white clothes.

Xu Xuan threw out four talisman papers, opened the gate of ghosts, let Chen Yao's mother go in first, jumped in after himself, and looked back at Chen Yao.

He said, "Chen Yao, don't forget the promise you made with me."
