Ice coffin fleeting years

When Shaoqin was still a tree, she was born in the mansion of a silk and satin business in Leizhou, Dongyin Kingdom. It is said that the mansion of a family with a prosperous lintel will be guarded by a town house spirit. The more auspicious the lintel of this family, the more prosperous the population, The more harmonious the family is, the more peaceful the life will be, and the stronger the spiritual power of the town house will be able to protect the peace and harmony of the house.

Shaoqin is the town house spirit who guards the Zhuang family's mansion and descendants for generations.

He is a tree that has grown in the backyard of the dealer for hundreds of years. The dealer's kindness in cultivating him made him rely on the aura of the dealer's lintel. Integrity has also made a name for itself in Leizhou.

It is said that the family is rich and the children and grandchildren are not filial.However, the property of the Zhuang family has been growing gradually for hundreds of years. The master and servants under the eaves of the Zhuang mansion live auspiciously and happily, which saves a lot of energy for Shaoqin, the town house spirit. , accepting the rain and dew in the mansion during the day, and absorbing the auspicious aura of the mansion at night, he is very satisfied with the state of mutual benefit, and he can also devote himself to practice and step into the road of becoming a fairy as soon as possible.

But whoever thought about a good road to becoming a fairy was cut off when the dealer changed the No. 30 four heads.

Zhuangjia No.30 The four patriarchs have three sons under their knees. The eldest son died young, and the eldest daughter-in-law also died of dystocia when she gave birth to his son. All things are handled by the grown-up second son, and the second son Zhuang Youxi thus becomes the No. 30 five head of the dealer.

A few years later, the old Patriarch died of illness on the bed, and when he was dying, he entrusted his two last wishes.First, Zhuang Youxi married the main house for the next generation of bachelor patriarch, and added two concubines; second, entrusted the only poor grandson left to him by the eldest son to the second son to train him as the next generation patriarch.After completing these two last wishes, the old man closed his eyes with peace of mind, and his soul returned to the west.

After autumn, the howling northwest wind began to rage in Leizhou.Dongyin Kingdom is adjacent to snow mountains in the west, and Leizhou is in the west of Dongyin. Every autumn, a gust of cold air from the snowy region will arrive in Leizhou with wind and snow, and also send the silver snow orchid flowers that are unique to Dongyin. The climate will last until the end of winter.

In the dealer's courtyard, a thin figure held a broom in his hand and swept the floor under the osmanthus trees covering the sky.Because of his thin stature, holding a broom that is much taller than him, and wearing a worn-out thin padded jacket, it is easy to be regarded as an unpopular servant and hide in the dark, but the maids and servants who pass by occasionally will whisper to him Greeting, the disrespectful "Master Luo Yan" was not so much a greeting as a mockery that he had been accustomed to for many years.

After cleaning the backyard, Zhuang Luoyan turned around and was about to leave when he bumped into someone who suddenly picked him up. Such fright made him cry out.

Someone put him down, touched his head, which was not as high as his shoulders, and said with a smile: "You are a little man, why are you so timid?"

In front of him was a well-dressed young man with clear eyebrows somewhat similar to Zhuang Luoyan.After seeing the person coming, Zhuang Luoyan swept away his frightened face, and called him respectfully: "Uncle."

Seeing the broom in his hand that hadn't been put down, Zhuang Youli withdrew his expression, grabbed it and threw it on the ground. The fragile broom was broken into two pieces: "I'm making you do this kind of work again! You are the young master of the dealer. , look at what you are wearing! The second brother is getting more and more excessive, even the servants have a complete padded jacket to wear in this weather! Even if you don't care that you are the next head of the family, we are also relatives! Besides, how many people are there? Rare!"

He held Zhuang Luoyan's hand in his own, breathed out and said distressedly: "Look at how your hands are frozen..."

Zhuang Luoyan didn't withdraw his hand either, but just said with a smile on his face: "Luo Yan did something wrong. My mother has been ill for several days, but Luo Yan can't do anything for her. The second father punished Luo Yan because he was worried about my mother. of."

Zhuang Youli's breathless movements stopped, and he snorted coldly: "It's just an excuse. If Yan'er minds, I won't say anything." Then he took out a white flower from his sleeve, and the petals opened gracefully , the fragrance of flowers.

Zhuang Luoyan immediately called out its name after seeing it: "Silver Snowflake."

The white orchid Yinxue that is unique to Dongyin Kingdom, as long as it is a subject of Dongyin Kingdom, will not fail to recognize it. Zhuang Luoyan took the orchid and loved it very much: "The silver snowflakes have already bloomed?"

Seeing his happy appearance, Zhuang Youli also smiled and said: "You have never gone out, no wonder you don't know the situation outside. At this time, the silver snowflakes have already bloomed. In a few days, I will take you to the suburbs to see where the Silver snowflakes are truly beautiful."

Zhuang Luoyan's eyes suddenly darkened: "But...second father doesn't allow me to go out, he said I'm..."

At that time, Zhuang Youxi accepted Zhuang Luoyan under his old father's last words, but he was always dissatisfied with his father's doting on his elder brother, but he couldn't accept Zhuang Luoyan in his heart.Originally, I thought that if I had my own child, I would not have to face this son who got nothing for nothing every day, but I didn't expect that the main wife and the two concubines were not up to date, and he hadn't given birth to a child for many years.He gradually concentrated all his grievances on Zhuang Luoyan, saying that he was the fate of Keqin.Every time he made things difficult for him, he would use this sentence to scold him. Zhuang Luoyan grew up in such abuse all these years.

This morning, Luo Yan's young lady, Zhuang Youxi's newly married Xiaofang, fell ill, and he was in a bad mood, so he used that excuse to punish Zhuang Luoyan. Sweeping the yard in cold weather.

Zhuang Youli sneered at the second brother's words: "It's all nonsense, and some people will believe it! I want to take you out, and it's useless for him to object." Looking at the western sky that was about to go down the mountain, Zhuang Youli smiled and nodded Zhuang Luo Yan's nose, "Some beautiful scenery can be seen without going out."

As soon as the words fell, Zhuang Luoyan's waist was lightly grasped and fell into Zhuang Youli's arms, and then his feet left the ground. Before he could exclaim in surprise, Zhuang Youli took him to the osmanthus tree in the courtyard and sat on it. Thick branches, behind Zhuang Youli's shoulders.

"Why do you only gain age but not weight? You are... 14 years old this year, and you are as light as a ten-year-old child."

"I……"

"Okay, look over there..."

Following the direction of Zhuang Youli's finger, Zhuang Luoyan saw the beautiful picture drawn by the red clouds in the distance.He was happy in his heart, and asked the people behind him softly: "Uncle is coming back this time, do you want to leave?"

A chuckle came from behind: "Don't you want me to go?"

"I……"

"I'm not leaving. I met someone I like and decided to settle down at home. Are you happy?"

Zhuang Luoyan didn't speak for a long time, but Zhuang Youli knew that he was actually happy in his heart. At this time, Zhuang Luoyan asked in a low voice: "My uncle is learning martial arts, why?"

Unable to react to the sudden change of topic, Zhuang Youli was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "I used to dislike the businessman's way of doing things, but later I felt that I could protect myself, and now I think... I can also protect the people around me."

Zhuang Luoyan nodded with a smile: "You can still jump so high to see beautiful things."

Amused by his thoughts, Zhuang Youli held his thin body in his arms from behind: "Yan'er, do you want to learn martial arts? My uncle will teach you, okay? From now on, you will be able to protect yourself and not be bullied by others." ,OK?"

Zhuang Luoyan nodded without hesitation.

The sunset of that day seemed extraordinarily long, the two of them sat on the tree of Shaoqin until it was dark, and occasionally a few came here to find the third master for dinner, but they didn't find the two people who were depending on each other on the tree.

At that time, Shaoqin found the long-lost family relationship between them, which made him feel that he had absorbed a lot of pure spiritual energy in those few days.

But Chunliang is only for those few days.

A few days later, Zhuang Youxi's newly married daughter-in-law, Zhuang Luoyan's sickly daughter-in-law, said that she had a lot of nightmares recently and wanted to sleep on a pillow scented with sweet-scented osmanthus.Zhuang Youxi then entrusted Zhuang Luoyan with the task of "respecting the young lady", and asked him not to eat if he did not find enough osmanthus flowers to make pillow cores.

Zhuang Luoyan stood under the osmanthus tree and waited for the osmanthus to fall.The boy under the tree stared at him sincerely with dark eyes, but Shaoqin shook the leaves and felt contempt in her heart—even if it is the town house spirit, he is first and foremost an osmanthus tree, and there is no osmanthus tree in the world that would be in such a state. The weather is blooming.

Zhuang Luoyan waited under the tree for a day and a night, God didn't know how to show mercy, and even made things worse, the first snow of that year slowly drifted up.Zhuang Luoyan's shoulders and hair were covered with hoarfrost. He was obviously very cold, but his posture did not change at all.Maybe it was because he was used to this kind of life since he was a child, or maybe his limbs were already numb. His hands holding the cloth lapel did not tremble at all, and his eyes looking up at the osmanthus tree seemed to want to drill a hole out of the tree.

Under such eyes, Shaoqin felt something churning in his invisible flesh and blood, a strange and unfamiliar feeling.

There were panicked footsteps in the silent corridor, Zhuang Youli was weather-beaten, carrying a fur coat, and wrapped Zhuang Luoyan, who was almost unconscious, from behind.As he hurriedly hugged him and walked back, his distressed voice became farther and farther away: "What a fool..."

Zhuang Luoyan did not get an osmanthus flower from the osmanthus tree in the backyard, so Zhuang Youli made a pillow with the stamens of Yin Xuelan and gave it to his sister-in-law as the end of the matter.

The Zhuang family regained its calm on the surface, and Zhuang Luoyan would still wear a thin padded jacket under the osmanthus tree and sweep the snow with a broom every day, but only Shaoqin knew that in such a life, stimulated by some shameful words, there was Something was slowly rotting away, making the aura he absorbed become chaotic.

The first snow lasted for many days, and that night was a sunny day with a full moon, and the moonlight reflected the same light as the full moon on the thin snow in the yard.It was a rare and clear night, but there was a trace of blood that could not be ignored.

In the backyard of the Zhuang Mansion, a figure quietly appeared under the osmanthus tree, with a full sack at his feet.He dug a big and deep hole under the tree with a shovel, threw the sack into it, covered it with soil and buried it.After doing this effortlessly, the figure stood under the tree in a daze for a long time before turning back to the room.

Even though it was a full moon day, it suddenly snowed again in the middle of the night, hiding the strange changes in the backyard under layers of snowdrifts, and also sinking the bloody smell in the air into the snow.

Zhuang Luoyan slept soundly in his room. In his dream, he learned to fly, flew out of the backyard door wall, and flew into the beautiful sunset sky.

That night, Shaoqin knew the smell of human blood for the first time. The thick blood left by the killing was absorbed by his tree roots, mixed with the originally pure spiritual energy of the house, breaking his road to immortality that was only one step away. .Suddenly, he felt a power that did not belong to him grow in the dark——

There are rumors in the demon world that inhaling the murderous aura, becoming bloodthirsty and becoming a demon... Immortals and demons are between that and the absurdity.

On the second day, the head of the Zhuang mansion disappeared. Half a month later, the Zhuang mansion, where the head of the family was still not found, has undergone earth-shaking changes. Zhuang Youli became the next head of the house. main room.

Yan Qing is Zhuang Luoyan's daughter-in-law.
