Cangzhou monster story

She and Jin Han were born to be lingering with each other.

She knew it from the first day of her consciousness.

At that time, she did not have a name.Because she is just the wick of a painted gauze lamp painted with gold.She is one, and Jinhan is the other.Two people entangled with each other, twisted together.Only then can it become a complete wick and emit light.

I don't know what year the painted lantern is, because it has been infiltrated by the aura of the sun and the moon for a long time.Gradually cultivated into a lamp soul.Even the wick became conscious.

At that time, she was in his arms, and he hugged her tightly.

He said that he heard that the human world is very interesting.How about we go to the world together?

She nodded, "The sky is big and the earth is big, I will accompany you wherever you go."

So they practiced silently, in order to be able to play games in the world.

Finally, after a long time and suffering, they took human form.A man and a woman, wandering the world.

She still remembers the day when she first came to the world.It is the winter of heavy snow.

They first went to the small town under Jinlan Mountain, and the tiny snowflakes were wrapped in the north wind and fell rustlingly.Everywhere I look around is a vast expanse of whiteness.

The two of them were wearing splendid cloaks, walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow.The days are short and the nights are long on the snow field in the north. It is estimated that the time has just passed Shen Shi, but the sky has already darkened. There are snow-covered ice fields on the left and right, and it is difficult to tell the direction.

He supported her with one hand, then squeezed a formula on his fingertips, and lightly recited a spell.A little firefly melted from his fingertips, and the blue light drifted faintly into the depths of the ice sheet.

They are wicks, so they are especially afraid of the cold.The cold wind on the snowy field seemed to blow into her bones, freezing her sorely.

She huddled beside him and asked tremblingly, "How long will it take?"

It has been two days, and they have been walking on this white snow field for two days.There was no one in sight.He didn't even see the lights of the small town under Jinlan Mountain.

"Don't worry." Jin Han comforted her softly, and then took the firefly back into his palm.Sighing faintly, according to the markings on the sheepskin map, if you enter this snowfield, you only need to go straight to the north, and you will be able to see Jinlan Mountain within two or three days.

But they had been walking for two days, but they hadn't seen anything.

Could it be that there is really no such luck, and it is impossible to go the wrong way?

He silently hugged her into his arms, a little frustrated.

His face hurts from being scraped by the snow particles, and the temperature of his body is gradually passing away.This cold weather is like a natural enemy to them.

He knew that there were many risks in this trip, but he still wanted to come.Because when he was still the wick, he heard people mention the Jade Snow Lotus on Jinlan Mountain guarded by the snow unicorn.As long as you eat it, you will no longer be afraid of water, fire and ice.

Fearless Fire didn't appeal to him much.But water and ice are indeed the nemesis of the wick.He had just cultivated human form, and was afraid of being beaten back to his original form, so he couldn't wait to get that Jade Snow Lotus.

Before he came, he knew that Jinlan Mountain was deep in a snowfield, protected by snow unicorns.Ordinary people can't find it.Those who are lucky can walk for two or three days, barely able to walk to the edge of the town before freezing to death, and being picked up by the people in the town.

It’s just that most people were unlucky, either they were frozen to death halfway, or they were eaten by wolves looking for food in the snow field, or they simply lost their direction in the snow field and were buried here.

He knew all of this, but he wasn't afraid.Compared with getting Jade Snow Lotus, this obstruction and tribulation is nothing worth mentioning.But he didn't expect that he was so unlucky.

The two of them walked northward in the snow field, and she felt that her whole body was already stiff, and her feet were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.He hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, we can get out."

But her consciousness became more and more blurred, she thought with some regret, she originally thought that they could cultivate human form and travel hand in hand in this bustling world like a couple of gods, but they would freeze to death together on this vast snowfield.However, she was also happy to die with him.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of dogs barking in the wind.

He raised his head abruptly, and on the other side of the darkness, he saw lights in the distance, and the sound of dogs barking was blown far away by the cold wind, and drifted into his ears in mid-air.He knew that it must be the small town of Ember Lane Mountain.

He let out a long sigh of relief, bowed his head happily and said to her: "We found it, we found it."

The two stepped on the thick snow again and walked there.

However, the small town that seems to be close in front of us can't be reached.

The hope that had just been raised seemed to be dashed.He even wondered if the dog barking just now was his hallucination.

The cold wind blows into the bones like a knife.She trembled and fell into the snow.He hurried to help her, but he didn't have any strength. He fell head first, fell into the snow, and lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he thought he had turned back into a wick.My whole body aches unbearably.

Turning his head, he saw a young man squatting beside the stove, adding charcoal to the stove.The fire in the small stove was burning brightly, and it was glowing red. There was a small pot on the stove, steaming, and something was boiling.There was a smell of ginger.

Seeing him awake, the boy laughed, "You're awake." He picked up a bowl and scooped a spoonful of ginger soup from the pot for him, "Drink some first, to get rid of the cold. This ginger water is the best. It worked."

He took it, took a few sips, suddenly remembered her, and asked, "Where is the woman with me?"

"Send it to Wang Po's house. I'm the only man here, so it's inconvenient." The boy sniffed and said.

Hearing that she was fine, he picked up the bowl and drank slowly.

"Hi, my name is Xue Ying, what's your name?"

name?

He doesn't have a name yet, and everyone in the world has a name, which is used to distinguish him from others, so he should also have his own name.

"Jinhan." This is Jinlan Mountain, and the name is very cold.From now on he will be called Ember Han

"Jin Han." Xue Ying read it again, and chattered on the sidelines again, "You guys, life is really good. Fortunately, I came back last night, passing by outside the town, and picked you up. At that time, you were all frozen to death. I thought I couldn't slow it down."

"Thank you." He sincerely thanked.

"Thank you, no need. We haven't seen a stranger in this town for three to five years, so I'm very curious. What are you doing here? We only have a dozen families here, and nothing." Xue Ying sat on a bench beside him. , reached out to fiddle with the coals in the stove, "You didn't come to look for Yuxuelian because you heard about the story of Yuxuelian?"

Jin Han drank all the ginger juice in the bowl, put it in again, and nodded, "I'm indeed here to look for Yu Xuelian."

"Then I advise you to go back quickly." Xue Ying shook his head.

"Why?" Ember Han asked.
