Legend of the Tang Dynasty

After walking for a few days, the greenery that can be seen along the way is getting less and less. Trees, shrubs, sparse grassland, and all the Gobi as far as the eye can see now, the sun is scorching at noon, but fortunately, the wind is finally calm.

Shen Yin raised his hand to slightly block the glare of the light, looked into the distance and said, "Are you almost there?"

Bian Zechuan also looked around and said: "It should be. I didn't see anything except the corpses of a few wild animals along the way. I don't know what happened to them?"

Shen Yin has never been an optimistic person. Although the journey was smooth but difficult, she also knew that the journey of the other three people would not be comfortable. She sighed and said

"It's better to have a solid fight with a monster. When will we go like this?"

Bian Zechuan could only comfort him and said, "Our purpose is to wipe out the monsters on these three routes, not to go to the battlefield, otherwise, the five of us can just kill the dragon with lightning speed."

"That's right, these monsters deliberately don't want to fight us, they just want to consume us to death."

Bian Zechuan took out the water bag and handed it to her, Shen Yin took it and shook it and said: "There is not much water left, let's keep it for now."

"Fortunately, we have spiritual power, so it's okay to lack some food and drink. I hope this is not the case over there."

Just as she was talking, Shen Yin suddenly saw a white light that seemed to turn blue not far away, she fixed her eyes and said: "Brother, look over there."

Bian Zechuan looked in the direction she was looking at, and hesitated after a moment: "It can't be a mirage, can it?"

"But I didn't see anything, only that light." Shen Yin said

"There are visions for no reason, so be careful first." Bian Zechuan said

Two people approaching the direction of the light, if it is a mirage scene, it will be like an illusion that can never be touched, it will hang you forward until you die or it disappears, but the light and shadow in front of you It is really getting closer to them, and as the distance gets closer, the light it emits becomes brighter and brighter.

Although Shen Yin and Bian Zechuan were quite tired, they were not dizzy yet. The two stopped together when they noticed something unusual. Bian Zechuan said: "It must be a trap, we can't get any closer."

"You can't sit idly by, can you?" Shen Yin whispered

Bian Zechuan thought for a while, and thrust a dagger into the circle of light with one hand, retracted it in his hand in the blink of an eye, and said: "It should be an illusion, and nothing can be found inside."

"No demons?"

Bian Zechuan shook his head, pondered and continued: "If there is no one in it, where does the monster cast spells?"

"So I think, maybe it's a trap, or maybe it's just a barrier."

Shen Yin also naturally knew that he couldn't rush in suddenly, so he simply said: "Go in another direction, and this is not the only way."

Bian Zechuan and Shen Yin avoided the light and shadow, and after walking for half a moment, they looked back and saw that the light circle was still behind them. Although Shen Yin still felt that something was wrong, it seemed that they had indeed left the vision.

After another hour, the two finally came to Hezhou, surrounded by distant mountains and rushing torrents, they finally had some sense of 'geographical victory'.

After entering Hezhou, the two gradually saw some villages, but because of the war, most of them were sparsely populated and fleeing in a hurry. When they came to the door of a house, they saw an old woman washing clothes in the yard. , whispered softly

"Grandma, can we go in and beg for some water?"

The old woman seemed to be over sixty years old, but she was still able to see and hear. When she heard it, she immediately raised her hand and said, "Come in, girl."

After the two came to the yard, the old woman asked them to sit down, and then brought two bowls of water and handed them to them. After the two finished drinking, they thanked each other, and the old woman asked with a smile

"You two don't look like they're fleeing. How come you came to Hezhou in such a chaotic situation?"

"Passing through this place, unexpectedly encountering wars." Bian Zechuan agreed.

"That's really unlucky, there's a war going on around here." The old woman said as she sat back on the bench and beat her clothes.

Seeing that she was more enthusiastic, Shen Yin thought about what else to ask, and continued: "Mother-in-law, has anything strange happened in Hezhou recently?"

"Hey, girl, this is the biggest thing to do!" the old woman said frankly

"Uh...I mean, did any monsters appear?" Shen Yin asked tentatively

The old woman stopped what she was doing and said, "Monster? I haven't heard of that."

Just when the two felt that this should not be the case, a man dressed as a farmer rushed in outside the courtyard and said, "Grandma, my son said that he saw a beast as big as two tigers on the mountain just now. Is your granddaughter Xiaoai still in the mountain?" em!"

The old woman got up instantly, anxiously said: "What can I do! This girl hasn't come back since she went out in the morning, I'll go find her!"

Shen Yin and Bian Zechuan immediately stopped her, and said in a deep voice, "Hey mother-in-law! Didn't there be a beast in the mountain? It's too unsafe for you to go!"

"My mother-in-law is just such a granddaughter, what will I do if she dies!" the old woman cried

"Let's go find it for you." Bian Zechuan said

"Really? That mother-in-law is really thankful to you." The old woman was about to kneel and bow, Shen Yin pulled her up again and said, "You wait at home, we will come back and tell you whether we find it or not."

Bian Zechuan and Shen Yin hurried into the mountain while the sky was still dark, and there seemed to be no trace of the monster in the mountain. After they walked to the hinterland of the mountain forest, Bian Zechuan said: "Could it be The child who reported the letter has never seen any beasts, so it is a bit exaggerated?"

After pondering for a while, he said, "The children of village households and hunters are no more than those in Beijing. They have seen more wild beasts. I don't think they will talk nonsense."

But let alone beasts around here, there is not even a trace of the girl. "

While Bian Zechuan was talking, a faint voice called from not far away: "Is there anyone? Help..."

After hearing this, the two ran towards the direction of the sound, only to find that the sound came from a deep pit. Both Bian Zechuan and Shen Yin looked down, but there was only the girl's weak cry except for the darkness. sound, Shen Yin shouted down

"Are you Xiaoai?"

"Yes..." the girl in the pit responded

"Don't be afraid, we will rescue you right away." Shen Yin said and jumped into the pit, relaying left and right on the rock wall and quickly reached the bottom of the pit.

Shen Yin estimated that the trap was about three or four meters deep. She groped in the dark to help the girl up and asked, "Are you injured?"

Although the two of them couldn't see each other, the girl shook her head and said, "No..."

Shen Yin then took her with one hand and returned to the ground the same way. The girl was very light so it didn't take much effort, but after reaching the ground, before anyone could speak, Shen Yin and Bian Zechuan were stunned .

"You..." Bian Zechuan looked at this unforgettable face, speechless.

After pondering for a moment, he pulled the girl over and said, "You fox! You're not dead yet?"

The girl was frightened and cried instantly, and said in a panic, "My name is Xiaoai... What kind of fox are you talking about, sister?"

Shen Yin's hand couldn't help but let go, but his gaze was still fierce and he said: "Back then, only I knew that you ran away with seven tails broken, but Anxin can only say that you have been killed, and I have been unable to find you for so many years. Do you want to cheat the world!"

Bian Zechuan had already been worried, he looked at Shen Yin and said buoyantly: "You mean, she didn't die that year?"

Shen Yin consciously slipped his mouth, and a guilty look flashed in his eyes for a moment: "Brother, if I hadn't said that back then, how could you have recuperated with peace of mind? Isn't it?"

Bian Zechuan interrupted her, blushing and said: "But life and death are deterministic, Yin'er, why don't you tell me the truth?"

Shen Yin was at a loss for words for a while, and then said resolutely: "So what if she's not dead? She's going to die now!"

As soon as the Long Fan of Spirit Bone was held in his hand, before he could make any movement, Bian Zechuan blocked him and said, "She has lost all her mana now, and she doesn't remember anything. What's the use of killing her?"

"She's a demon! Have you forgotten how she harmed you back then? Besides, who said that she lost all her powers? The old woman in the village said she was her granddaughter, wasn't she deluded by her?"

"What are you talking about... Please don't kill me..." Little Esther trembled

Shen Yin glared at her, then turned to look at Bian Zechuan and said, "Zechuan, if I insist on killing her, will you still fight with me?"

Bian Zechuan's heart was already in chaos, and he sighed softly: "If you insist on doing something, I can't stop you, but Yin'er, have you ever thought that maybe she really isn't Miao Yu?"

Seeing that Shen Yin was shaken, Bian Zechuan continued: "Even if she breaks Nanao and escapes, it will be difficult for her to use magic power to save her life. If she can still charm others, why is she willing to cast spells on an old woman in the mountains to be her granddaughter?"

Shen Yin felt unable to refute after hearing this, and after holding the long fan vigorously, she still stopped and said coldly, "I want to try her."

"You have already used empathy once recently, and I am worried that it will harm your body." Bian Zechuan said

Shen Yin ignored his obstruction, walked straight over and pulled Xiao Ai's wrist. After connecting for a long time, when he let go of her, he was a little puzzled and said, "It's not..."

Bian Zechuan didn't know whether he should be thankful for this result, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe it's just that they look similar."

Shen Yin didn't want to say much, just said: "Let's go."

After the few people left the mountain, the sky gradually darkened, and it was already dark when they returned to the old woman's house. In order to repay Shen Yin and Bian Zechuan, the old woman wanted to kill chickens and sheep, and she must stay overnight. If you stay nearby, there is no problem living here.

It was difficult for Zechuan to fall asleep at night, he groaned all night without saying anything, but he knew that his words and deeds had hurt her, and she was indeed thinking of herself, he knew it all but he couldn't control his stress reaction, and in his heart He just didn't want to indulge in killing others by mistake, but somehow he acted like he was partial to that old relationship.

Bian Zechuan stood in the courtyard and looked up at the sky full of stars, when a voice that seemed to calm all his anxiety suddenly came from behind, saying

"Zechuan."
