Awakening of Rebirth

It had only been a few days since the news of the victory in the civil war spread from Taran to the southwest, and the convoy of Knossus and his relatives had already arrived at Taran.

"A barbarian is a barbarian. Marrying a princess is as urgent as rushing to reincarnate. Will your highness break his promise?" Frange stood in the back row of the crowded crowd, frowning and looking at the convoy that had just entered the city gate, his eyes full of disgust: "It's really not worthy."

Both of his parents died in battles with Knossus, and he chose to join the army when he was young to kill these invaders. Even though this victory was due to Knossus' concession, he still didn't have a good impression of these people, and even more so What's more, in this marriage, one party was completely forced to accept it.

"Your Excellency, you must be clear about your identity, what to say and what not to say." Mo Ni is not as tall as Frange, and even if she stands on tiptoe, she can't see into the other end of the crowd, and can only quietly listen to the bustling sounds , I suppressed the feeling of emptiness in my heart alone, then stood where I should stand, and said what I should say: "Princess Nora is the most honorable woman in Knossas, and His Royal Highness Mingluo can marry her , the war in the southwest can finally cease, which is a good thing.”

Frange was speechless for a while, Moni was his subordinate once, he knew of Moni's temperament, this girl was very strong, never willing to show her weakness in front of others.He saw that there seemed to be tears in Mo Ni's eyes, and wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't bear to see the loss in her heart, so he fell into silence.

That afternoon, with the help of the wind chimes, Jiang Zheng was packing her luggage for Wodo, when suddenly a person came outside the door, holding a few folded dresses with hairpins and hair ties on them, looking into the room , and asked Jiang Zheng: "When are you leaving?"

As she said, she walked into the room and put the clothes in her hands on the bedside. Seeing Jiang Zheng and Fengling's eyes were a little surprised, she couldn't help touching the hair that was cut to the ears in embarrassment, and said: "I think I still I'm not used to wearing long hair in skirts, but is it too short?"

Mo Ni joined the army since she was a child. She has a tall and straight figure, and her facial features are much tougher than ordinary women. With her wheat-colored skin and short neutral hair, she looks a bit indistinguishable at first glance, like a handsome young man. The two same-sex friends in the room almost failed to recognize each other.

Jiang Zheng reacted to the noise from the street in the distance, and hurriedly approached Mo Ni with a smile, looked at Mo Ni, and said, "You are so heroic, Mo Ni, have you always been like this before? No wonder Frange said No one in the barracks used to treat you as a girl, isn't this just a handsome guy? Is he not afraid that a little girl will want to marry him?"

"No, it's just that the hand trembled too much... I thought it was hopeless, so I might as well make it shorter." Mo Ni said, and then changed the subject: "Are you planning to go to Wodo? "

Jiang Zheng nodded: "The important things are almost done, and the keel matter can't be delayed any longer. It's just a while before Changsheng's enthronement ceremony. It's time to go to Wodo to end all this."

"Although Mrs. Franke and I have tried our best to clean it up, there is still no guarantee that there will be no demon forces in Ainota. Be careful on the road."

Feng Ling: "Don't worry, Mo Ni, I will protect Jiang Zheng and Chang Sheng."

Mo Ni nodded, and subconsciously asked: "After this time, will you come to Ainota again?"

Feng Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head after regaining consciousness, the bitterness in her eyes could not be concealed.

What she thought and thought in her heart was not free in life before, but now he has turned into a wisp of smoke and dust and returned to heaven and earth. From then on, in the mountains and fields, rivers and seas, he is allowed to wander as he pleases, no longer restrained.And she, who is destined to live and die in Wodo in this life, no matter what year and month of the night, when she looks up, she will see the moon that she watched with him that year.

It turns out that to love someone, you don't need to face each other day and night, as long as you engrave him in your heart, it can be regarded as being inseparable for the rest of your life.

***

After going to Wodo, Changsheng only picked a dozen guards, and then took Jiang Zheng and left Talan with the wind chime.

Jiang Zheng could tell that Changsheng had been deliberately busying himself with busyness lately, and every night when he came home, he was exhausted with preoccupations, and he didn't want to talk too much with others. sleep.How could she not understand that Chang Sheng had a knot in his heart, it was the hatred of everyone who left him, every time he stretched out his hands, he was unable to keep any hatred, it was the blame and disgust for himself.

Now, this thorny road is finally coming to an end, and Changsheng will return to the original place that bears all responsibilities to end all this, and then, she can finally accompany Changsheng, and use the rest of her life to heal all that she has suffered trauma.

This beautiful longing made Jiang Zheng no longer care about the pain caused by the backlash of the seal on his body, as if it was just a bitter candy, and the pain would eventually come.

It's just that when she wanted to share the joy in her heart with Changsheng, she found that on the way to Wodo, Changsheng had been very quiet, so quiet that the surrounding atmosphere was particularly depressing. courage.

In the past, Chang Sheng wrote everything on his face, and she could guess it when she saw it.

Now Chang Sheng puts everything in her heart, she can only see the forbearance, she can't figure it out, and she doesn't know how to comfort her.

On the day of arriving at Wodo, the tree of life was covered by a layer of enchantment that never existed before—inside the enchantment, the demonic energy was extremely strong. It was the demon god who had returned from hell, and would break through the last shackles at any time and come to the world.

The Tree of Life is gradually withering under the erosion of the demonic energy. The once dense green leaves have turned dark yellow. The only warmth and vitality that was once on the snowy top of the mountain have disappeared. The severe cold has replaced everything and invaded the limbs and bones of strangers. .Qianye Quicksand is quietly swinging under the tree haunted by demonic energy. The swing that I don’t know when I built it, the toes touch the ground, and the clothes and skirts that reach the ground make the dead leaves flutter up and down, reflecting the back Thin and lonely.

She heard footsteps behind her, she got up with her feet on the ground, and looked back at the long-awaited visitor, her gaze was difficult to distinguish between joy and sorrow, and she only walked forward slowly: "Wodo has made all preparations."

After all, he walked towards the pale Jiang Zheng.

Despite the power of the phoenix, Jiang Zheng is still a flesh and blood body that has not been cultivated, and it is difficult to withstand the erosion of the dragon bones. Now the five dragon bones are gathered here, and although they are suppressed by the broken seal, they are still reluctant to produce each other. Induction, this kind of induction, is very harmful to her spirit and body.

Seeing Qianye Liusha put his hand on Jiang Zheng's forehead, Changsheng felt vigilant for some reason, and subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop her, but saw a spiritual wall suddenly formed beside the two of them to isolate her. The flames intertwined and lingered, and finally pulled a cloud of black and purple smoke from Jiang Zheng's body, and collected it all in Qianye Liusha's palm.

She turned around and carefully put it into the tree of life, only to see that the yellow leaves that were about to fall were eroded to dryness by the strong devilish energy, and the wind passed by and fell to the ground.

Changsheng immediately stepped forward to support Jiang Zheng, seeing that she no longer frowns in pain, he felt relieved, raised his eyes to Qianye Liusha and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Tomorrow, I will call together the elders and spiritual girls of all ethnic groups. With the help of Jiang Zheng, I will tear open the space-time rift with all my strength, undo the keel seal, and throw it into it."

"Azheng is very weak now. You also said at the beginning that she is no longer a body of celestial soul, and that power can no longer be used lightly, otherwise there will be extremely serious consequences." Chang Sheng frowned.

"Don't worry, I will protect Jiang Zheng. If there is an accident, I will definitely bear the backlash for her."

Chang Sheng couldn't help being silent, and turned his gaze to Jiang Zheng.

With the dead leaves falling in front of Jiang Zheng's eyes, he couldn't help asking Qianye Quicksand: "Will it return to its original state?"

"I have taken the keel out of your body, and your body will recover slowly." Qianye Liusha said, "Take a good rest tonight. After tomorrow, all the pain will be over."

"Will it return to its original state?" Jiang Zheng stepped forward and asked.

She didn't know why, but she suddenly cared about Qianye Liusha's answer, her eyes were stubborn like a child's.

Qianye Liusha reached out to pick up a dead leaf, remained silent for a long time, turned his back, and replied: "You have your own answer in your heart, you should firmly believe in it."

Jiang Zheng stood there looking at Qianye Liusha's back in a daze for a long time, finally sighed softly, turned around and went with Changsheng to the temporary residence led by Fengling.

That night, Chang Sheng couldn't help asking Jiang Zheng: "Do you really care about the answer to that question?"

"You mean the tree of life?"

"Correct."

"I was just... at a loss for a moment."

"Then, what's the answer in your heart?" Chang Sheng asked.

Jiang Zheng smiled and said: "Grass and trees do not die, they will eventually return to spring, but they just grow new leaves, not the same as before. I think the same is true for people. As long as life is not dead, time will eventually be on a certain day in a certain year and a certain month." , to wipe away all the unsightly scars in your heart." Jiang Zheng said, holding Chang Sheng's hands, "We have a longer life than ordinary people."

Chang Sheng didn't know how to respond, so he just looked at Jiang Zheng quietly.

Jiang Zheng said: "Everything will pass. Before it passes, I am willing to accompany you in grief. After it passes, will you return my joy?"

"I..." Chang Sheng couldn't help being dazed.

——If you cooperate with an unscrupulous person like Qianye Liusha, are you really not afraid of losing everything?

That voice was like a nightmare haunting her endlessly. When she closed her eyes, she saw blood in them, and when she opened them, her heart was full of desolation.

She couldn't let it go, the four seasons in the flames under Destoke City took away forever a young man who couldn't let go of his worries.Unable to let go, when Blind left, a teardrop slipped from the empty eyes, chilled the blood-stained face, and finally fell into the dust.I can't let go of Tafil's bloody appearance when he died, and the letter that did not defend himself.

"Changsheng?"

——The girl you care about has the power to destroy me, whether she can bear such power.

——Do you think that Qianye Quicksand will tell you the truth?

Why, so many people have lost their cherished things, friends, relatives, lovers and even their lives in dire straits, and the person who watched with cold eyes or unscrupulously contributed to all this with his own hands, can finally say lightly: "All pain will come to an end. become the past."

Qianye Liusha... In order to get rid of the black dragon, even the person he loves the most is willing to sacrifice, will he really protect Jiang Zheng as promised?

Jiang Zheng frowned, "What are you thinking?"

Changsheng came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to brush the hair next to Jiang Zheng's ear, his eyes were infinitely gentle: "I would like to give you everything I have."

She has thought about a question countless times, if one day she will face the choice that Qianye Liusha faced more than 2000 years ago, how will she choose?

The one you love is more important than thousands of people. Others can always make choices easily, because in the eyes of others, one and tens of thousands are just cold numbers. It is clear at a glance who is bigger and who is smaller. Only those who really have the right to choose People will know how unique that "one" is, and it is difficult to give up.

She fell into thinking time and time again, while marveling and admiring Qianye Liusha's determination time and time again, she also came to the same result time and time again: "I can't do it."

She can't do it, even if the other side of the scale she can't see is as heavy as the whole world, she can't sacrifice the one and only thing she is willing to put on her eyebrows and heart all her life.

Chang Sheng looked at Jiang Zheng, who was in a deep sleep, and his fingers lightly brushed the corners of her slightly raised mouth, his mind was in a trance.

She closed her eyes, and her consciousness entered nothingness.

It was the place where she had been sleeping for a long time. In the darkness not far away, there was a locked door.

She walked forward slowly, and the dark power surged behind the door, trying to swallow her, but was isolated.

Chang Sheng hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to touch it.

In the next second, countless sounds and pictures flashed through her mind—that was what the evil dragon under the tree of life had seen and heard in the seal.

——Priest, I still feel that Changsheng and Jiang Zheng have the right to know what will happen after tearing apart the space-time rift...

——Feng Ling, selfishness is everyone's nature, I can't bet the whole Vodo whether they will sacrifice voluntarily.

——But once Jiang Zheng is sacrificed, Changsheng... will never forgive us.

——Changsheng is a dragon, her life is long enough to forget the feeling of loving someone.

"why……"

"I betrayed my race, and I lost all my friends and relatives... What do the lives of thousands of people have to do with me? I have given up so much for those strangers, and now I just want to keep one of her, But am I being greedy?"

Chang Sheng tremblingly touched the door of darkness with a hoarse voice, asking questions that no one could hear.

Those joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys that have been experienced, the unyielding beliefs that have been firmly established, the love and hatred that have or have been lost-all, all, become extremely heavy at this moment, and despair is like a tide. Submerged her heavily, and tore her ruthlessly.

It turned out that in her life, no one step was right.Everything she wanted to change came back silently on the way to being changed, like a demon, using the cruel reality again and again to mock her innocence and ignorance, and crush her love and hope.

"If it was destined to be lost, why should I have it in the first place?" She hugged her knees tightly, trembling, curling up, and sobbing, her heart hurting so much that she seemed to be about to lose the strength to breathe.

—You have other options.

——The weak always accept the protection and sacrifice of the strong when danger strikes, but no one has ever thought about why the strong should protect them.

——What did they pay for you?What do you gain by sacrificing everything for them?

——Power, in your hands, you have the right to decide who to protect with it, why should you care what those irrelevant people think or think?

"Power..." Chang Sheng's eyes were red, and he stared blankly at his palm, his eyes that were originally extremely painful and confused gradually became firmer, until he tightly clenched the empty palm.
