Qiezi. Snowy Night, Mountain Temple

The evening wind carried the last rays of the setting sun whizzing past, the shaken dry treetops made a rustling sound, the flying snow danced wildly in the sky, and finally quietly added another layer of snow on the ground , there are few people in a radius of dozens of miles, only a dilapidated and dilapidated mountain temple standing alone in the wind and snow.

It was the severe winter season, and the weather was extremely cold. The cold wind howled and tried to break through the dilapidated gate and get into the temple. Not a small effect, the cold wind can only find opportunities to pour in from some small holes and cracks, and it doesn't have much impact on the inside.

In the middle of the dilapidated temple, a raging bonfire was burning. It burned very vigorously, warming the small space. Seven or eight strong men gathered together, regardless of the oiliness, they directly tore the roasted pheasants, rabbits, etc. They ate food in big mouthfuls, until everyone was sweating profusely, and then untied the wine bag around their waist and poured a few mouthfuls of coarse spirits. It was really comfortable and happy. Larger beasts such as deer, it is obvious that this is a group of hunters who have to go to the mountains to hunt in the winter to make a living.

Everyone was yelling loudly and laughing and cursing with the strength of wine, when suddenly there was a "creak", the shabby door was pushed open by something, and the cold wind rushed in, everyone was stunned, They were about to yell and scold one after another, but suddenly it seemed as if someone had strangled their necks. The words of yelling and scolding were held back abruptly. In the white sky, there was a figure in white fox fur standing outside the door. The long fluff on the hood and the brim of the hat covered most of it, but from the figure, it was easy to see that it was a woman, and she was a graceful woman, but the waist that was supposed to be slender and soft at the moment But under the fox fur, it was bulging high, obviously she was pregnant for several months, judging by the size, she might be full term soon.

A group of men stared at each other, and felt that today's incident was extremely weird. In this damn weather, how could a pregnant woman appear alone in such a place where there was no village or shop behind?But it's strange, the rough-looking men are not bad at heart, and a leader-like man stood up and yelled at the woman: "It can freeze people to death outside, so hurry up and warm yourself up first. "As the man said, several people beside him had given up a slightly cleaner place, ready for the woman to rest.

The woman wrapped in fox fur didn't come in, she just panted and looked around slightly, a haggard face that was whiter than snowflakes was half hidden behind the silver-white down, when she saw a few vulgar men in the temple, There seemed to be a hint of disgust in the two eyes, but she was exhausted at this time, and she really had no extra energy to find the next place to stay, so she had no choice but to step into the ruined temple, but almost at the same time, The woman's right hand seemed to be lifted slightly, and a few cold lights flew out from the sleeve, and the seven or eight men fell to the ground without knowing what happened, and the faces that gradually lost their vitality were full of scars. The color of horror and disbelief.

The woman moved her abdomen without thinking about it, and frowned tightly in pain. She endured the pain, closed the broken door, and then staggered to find a slightly cleaner place to sit down. The woman struggled to drag Passing a still warm corpse next to her, she pressed her cherry lips to the deadly wound on the neck of the corpse, and began to suck it hard. She was unwilling to eat such a dirty thing, but at this moment she was about to give birth, It is necessary to accumulate physical strength. Although human blood is disgusting, it can provide her with nutrition in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, not only will the child not be born, but it is very likely that she will not be able to survive.

The sweet and warm blood gurgled into the abdomen, adding a guarantee of survival. The woman took a breath, but the pain in her abdomen became more and more intense. She hugged her stomach in pain and moaned continuously: "Evil, It's time to come out..."

The large snowflakes outside were blown randomly by the wind, the fire in the mountain temple was still burning brightly, the woman moaned in pain, the pain in her abdomen became more severe, and warm liquid had flowed from between her legs. It gushes out and wets the clothes.During the struggle, the hood on the woman's head slipped off, and the loose long hair was like silk and satin, covering her face. After a while, the woman cried out in pain, each sound worse than the sound, her body trembling uncontrollably, the corners of her lips had already been bitten by her teeth It was broken, she was in so much pain that her body convulsed slightly, she tried her best, but the lump of flesh and blood in her belly couldn't come down, helplessly, the woman moved her body with difficulty, climbed onto a corpse that was a little closer, and tried to drink again. Dripping blood, draw a little strength from it to give birth.

It was gradually getting dark, and after an unknown period of time, the snow became heavier and heavier, and snowflakes the size of goose feathers were flying between the sky and the earth. Suddenly, accompanied by a long scream, the clear cry of a baby came from the ruined temple. came out, but the next moment, everything suddenly returned to silence.

The ruined temple was full of bloody smell, the woman's face was pale, her hair was wet on her cheeks and forehead, she cut off the umbilical cord with a dagger, and tore off a skirt to wrap her newly born flesh and blood. The baby's body was covered with amniotic fluid and some dirt, and it was hastily wrapped up. It took a few days for the wrinkled face to grow back. This baby was a bit weird, except for crying aloud when it first landed, spitting out the amniotic fluid in its mouth, Afterwards, she didn't cry anymore, but opened her eyes instead. Seeing this, the woman remembered something, and suddenly stretched out her hand and put it on the baby's neck with difficulty, as if she wanted to strangle the baby, but she didn't know what it was. Without strength, the mother's nature finally prevailed. The moment she touched the baby's warm skin, her snow-white jade fingers trembled slightly. The woman paused, then suddenly let go of her hand, smiled bitterly, and said: " After all, he is my son...Okay, okay, let's call him Shi Yingchuan, use your grandmother's surname..."

"...Shi Yingchuan? It's a good name." A jade-like voice sounded without warning, and the woman's expression changed, but she quickly regained her composure, and sneered with difficulty: "Yan Fangdao ,You came?"

"Sister, you have done such a big thing, how can I not come." The dilapidated temple door suddenly shattered silently, and the cold wind howled in, making the bonfire that was already getting smaller inside even more wobbly. , a slender figure stood in the snow, the red cloak set off a delicate face extremely charmingly, the girl's clear eyes were as cold as ice, there was no trace of warmth on her face, she looked at the woman with disheveled hair, Suddenly she said softly: "As expected, she is the most beautiful woman in the world, Yan Luanyun. Even if she is in such a mess, I still feel pity for her."

Yan Luanyun sneered, but the strength in her body was getting less and less, and the stern cold wind whizzed in, freezing the baby in her arms until her face turned blue, but the child was strangely silent, and she didn't know Did she faint from the cold? Yan Fangdao turned her wonderful eyes slightly in the woman's arms, and said: "Where is Ning Huazhi? Hand it over, I will spare this child's life, take him back, and raise him up." After a lot of blood on the ground and the pale face of the woman: "Disease in childbirth... Sister, it seems that your true energy has begun to disperse, and it is obvious that you will not survive. Do you want to bring your own flesh and blood with you?"

The cold light in Yan Luanyun's eyes was colder than Fengxue's. Just as she was struggling to say something, suddenly a deep and pleasant voice came from far and near, and was transmitted by Fengxue: "...child, I will take you away."

A figure arrived almost at the same time as the voice. The man was wearing a green shirt and came walking on snow. His long hair was neatly combed and coiled on the top of his head. There were two antique jade hairpins inserted in his bun. If an immortal, Yan Fangdao's complexion changed slightly, and said: "Emotional insanity? Xiao Xinglei, this is my Yan family's business, outsiders should not interfere."

"The sound of the flute and flute is not true, the old rain in the rivers and lakes has turned into dust. There are only two lines of tears in my life, half for the common people and half for the beauty..." Xiao Xinglei whispered softly, he quietly looked at Yan Luanyun not far away, Knowing that she was dying and could not be saved, a complex look flashed in her eyes, and she said, "I'm late... Don't worry, although I can't save you, I must at least keep this child." Just said After saying this, Xiao Xinglei suddenly frowned slightly, looked into the distance, and saw two figures flashing in the wind and snow, among them the young man in black robe and high crown had a cold face, as if carved out of marble. Cheng, the black hair hanging on both sides of the cheeks set off the white and tender skin like a baby, and a fingernail-sized pearl was embedded on the left nose, shining brightly. A few feet away from him, another young man had a delicate face as if A piece of warm jade, full of spirits, Xiao Xing said in a deep voice with tears: "Shen Taicang, Li Donghuang...the two must have come here for Ninghuazhi?"

Li Donghuang smiled slightly, his exquisite face was like pearls and jade, and he looked noncommittal, but Shen Taicang, who was in black robe and high crown, didn't move at all.

Of course the rest of them couldn't let him succeed, no matter what their reasons were, the three of them stepped forward and shot at the same time!

How can this ruined temple be like this?The strong wind exploded, and the ruined temple was torn to pieces. Yan Luanyun watched the four people fighting coldly, struggling to take off the fox fur and wrap the baby. However, at this moment, Yan Luanyun's gaze suddenly changed. Unable to move any further, at the end of the wind and snow in the distance, a man wearing a plain oil umbrella came slowly, extremely abrupt, and extremely natural, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment. At present, the surface of the water is slightly white, and the hunters in the ruined temple were lying in ambush by the hot spring, and they killed many animals that went to drink and play in the water. At this time, the man seemed to have not seen it, and continued to float forward. There was a chill in his feet, and wherever he passed, the surface of the water under his feet condensed into palm-sized sheets of thin ice, allowing him to land on his feet steadily, and he could grow a lotus in one step. The ultimate performance, before the small piece of ice completely solidified, the man had already walked away, and the thin ice flakes behind him immediately melted in the hot spring.

The man's face was covered under the umbrella, so he couldn't see it clearly. At some point, Yan Luanyun's face seemed to improve. She was watching all this indifferently. Said: "Are you finally willing to come to see me? You once promised to come to see me before I die, and now you have done it... Very good, you don't owe me any more!"

After Yan Luanyun yelled these words, his face turned blue. It was obvious that the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry. At this time, the man holding the umbrella walked up to him, and the other four had already given up. Then it flew up silently, and returned to his hand automatically. Yan Fangdao's expression changed slightly, the eyelashes on her fair face trembled slightly, and there was a trace of nervousness and even hesitation in her eyes, and she said: "As No.20 Seventh Generation Rose, Why don't you practice in the Great Bright Peak, but come here from a long distance?" Li Donghuang looked at the man with flickering eyes, and suddenly smiled and said: "Forget it, since you are here, how can I succeed, go rest, go Hugh!" Before the words fell, the person had already walked tens of feet away, Shen Taicang frowned slightly, he was also a decisive person, now that he had reached this point, the man with the umbrella appeared, the plan would be considered a failure, let alone After all, Ninghuazhi was just a legend, and it might not have such magical qualities, so she turned around very neatly at that moment, and disappeared into the night just like Li Donghuang.

As soon as the two left, only Yan Luanyun's mother and son, Xiao Xinglei, Yan Fang Dao and the man holding the umbrella were left on the scene. Yan Fang Dao knew something was wrong, and that extremely beautiful face looked a little pitiful, but Everyone present knew what kind of woman she was, how could she be moved by these methods, Xiao Xinglei went straight to Yan Luanyun, and squatted down, with a strange expression on his face, like sighing or sad, After touching the baby, his expression suddenly changed: "It turns out that the meridians are tough and smooth, with innate inspiration, and excellent bones... This, this kind of physique..." He thought for a while, then suddenly looked at the woman: "Chaos Yun, have you taken Ninghua Zhi?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Fang's expression changed suddenly in the distance. She did not expect that Yan Luanyun had swallowed Ning Huazhi. After all, with Yan Luanyun's skill, it would take at least a year and a half to swallow this thing. You can really absorb the essence of it, and during this time Yan Luanyun is hiding in Tibet and is exhausted, how can she have the time and energy to use her skills to absorb the elixir?If after taking it, she didn't start to use the profound arts immediately, and quietly absorbed the essence of the elixir for a long time, it would be a waste of things, but now she understands that Ning Huazhi has completely fulfilled Yan Luanyun through the mother-fetal connection. The fetus in the womb, the period of time in the mother's body is the beginning of the chaos of life, the most mysterious, how many strong people need time to absorb the essence of the elixir, but here the physique of the fetus has been transformed from the innate!

Yan Luanyun's indifferent eyes were full of self-mockery, and the arms holding the baby began to weaken, even holding the baby was very difficult. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood spilled from her mouth, making the dress that had already been stained with countless blood water even worse. Tian Qiyan, she smiled with a very complicated expression, extremely tired, both her movements and her expression were extremely weak, she mocked: "Ning Huazhi? It's gone long ago, no one wants it anymore." She looked at The man with the umbrella in the distance, the anger, resentment, despair, sadness and other emotions in his eyes finally disappeared, she said sharply: "Take him away! His name is Shi Yingchuan, and his nickname... is Fengdi !"

As soon as the last two words came out, Xiao Xinglei's face changed slightly, and he said softly, "Fife, fife? That's how it is." Yan Fang Dao also twitched her eyebrows, but looked at the man holding the umbrella. The man's face was covered Covered under the umbrella, there are six fingers on the right hand holding the umbrella. He stretched out his left hand, and the baby in Yan Luanyun's arms a few feet away suddenly seemed to be caught by an invisible big hand, and was taken into the sky. In the man's arms, in the howling wind and snow, one person and one umbrella soon gradually became blurred.

After the man left, Yan Fangdao breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. Seeing that Yan Luanyun's face was gray, and she was obviously about to die, a pair of beautiful eyes flickered for a moment. After all, she drifted away without a word, leaving only Xiao Xing Tears remained on the spot, he silently straightened the woman's messy hair covering her face, her expression was hard to describe, Yan Luanyun fixedly looked at him, and said with a low smile, "Emotionally insane, I didn't expect that in the end it was you who collected the body for me... ...Just bury me here, and don't let anyone know." She smiled, her breath scattered: "Brother Xiao, I'm sorry... Before I finished speaking, the remaining look in her eyes gradually dimmed, like a candle in the wind, finally extinguished .

Xiao Xinglei was silent, he looked up at the sky, the snowflakes fell on the tip of his nose, it was icy cold, he got up and dug the ground, then put Yan Luanyun, whose body was already cold, into the pit, filled it with soil, Xiao Xing Tears did not set up a monument or even make a grave bag, the ground was flat and soon covered by heavy snow.

The man left quietly, his figure gradually merged with the night, only the murmur in the wind was unfathomable and lingering--

"The sound of the flute and flute is not true, the old rain in the rivers and lakes has turned into dust. There are only two lines of tears in my life, half for the common people and half for the beauty..."
