After that, several years passed.A Chi began to grow a beard, and his skin became dull.

On this day, they finished planting a batch of rice and returned home in the dark.The two put away the farming tools, took out the small cloth bag containing Yao Ye, and put it on the wooden table for lighting.

"Xiayun, why don't you grow old?"

Ah Chi sat on the pit, pressed his chapped heel, and grinned in pain.

Xiayun gnawed on the rice bran cake, a little innocent: "You mean white hair? If you insist, I can change my look."

The middle-aged Ah Chi shook his head and said, "I'm just worried that if you continue to act like this, it will arouse suspicion from others."

Xiayun thought for a while, removed the camouflage spell, and said: "So, it should be no problem, right?"

Ah Chi was stunned, and it took a long time before he said: "This... seems more suspicious, you should change it back."

Xiayun felt a little wronged, but she still changed back to her burly appearance.He stared at Ah Chi for a while, stretched out his hand to brush his nose, and said, "Then, how about this?"

A Chi looked at the beard growing on his lips, and said with some amusement: "Okay."

Therefore, Xiayun continued to stay in the Second Yi Kingdom for several years.

Such a peaceful day was suddenly broken by a rush of trumpets one day: "All men under the age of 60, gather immediately!"

When Ah Chi heard the sound of the horn, his face suddenly turned pale.He pulled the bewildered Xiayun and came to a vast school field with the sound of the horn.

There are large and small camps all over the place, surrounded by wooden fences on the sides, and several sentry towers stand high.

In the school grounds, they need to obey the words of the "Commander".According to the Commander, their "Two B Kingdoms" fell out with "One Jia Nation" and they will launch a war in the near future.

His Majesty the Lord sent an edict to call all the middle-aged men for training in preparation for the formation to kill the enemy.

"Dedicate yourself to the best of your ability, and die after death!"

This is an order given to them by the Commander, and it is also a slogan to boost morale.

Xiayun doesn't know what war is, but thinks those galloping horses and weapons made of cold iron are very fresh, but they need to do a lot of training every day, and occasionally they will be a little tired.

Nevertheless, food can be obtained without "money".In Xiayun's eyes, the whips in the barracks were no different from the leather whips wielded by landlords.

He even saw the landlord's foolish son in the barracks.That kid was crying for the first two days, and he could collapse even when he took a piss, let alone training——

But after the landlord visited several times and sent the heavy boxes to the commander's tent, he followed his father and left with a playful smile, attracting envious eyes.

Xiayun also often heard sobbing and crying from the bed beside her in the dead of night.But he really didn't understand what it was that made his companions so sad.

One day during a training break, Xia Yun drank pickled vegetable soup that was like white water. Seeing that Ah Chi was worried, she asked, "Ah Chi, is it a bad thing to fight?"

Ah Chi gnawed on the hard steamed bun, and said, "Yes."

"Then, wouldn't it be better not to fight?"

Ah Chi stopped chewing.He lowered his head and took a hard bite of the sour steamed bun.

"This is not something you and I can decide. Whether you like it or not, you have to go to the battlefield after all."

Seeing that he was unhappy, Xia Yun said, "If you don't like it, I'll take you away, shall I?"

A Chi shook his head and said, "As a subject of the Second Yi Kingdom, it is my duty to protect my family and the country."

He glanced at Xiayun and said, "It won't be safe here soon, do you want to stay?"

Xiayun was puzzled, and said, "I'll stay, okay?"

A Chi sighed deeply, and said, "I don't know either. I hope you can stay and help, but I'm worried..."

He paused for a long time before continuing: "Remember, no matter what the situation is afterwards, you can't show those strange abilities in front of anyone."

Xiayun smiled and said, "I know. You've said it so many times that my ears are almost numb."

Ah Chi smiled, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a stern voice: "Are you full? Hurry up and go out when you are full, don't dawdle there!"

This is not good in the barracks, even the time for eating and sleeping must be strictly controlled.

Xiayun felt that she could still adapt, but Ah Chi was different.Those intensive trainings made him more and more emaciated, and the ends of his hair were also grayed.

Several times, Xiayun saw Ah Chi sitting up in the middle of the night, and then staring out of the tent in a daze—but every time Xiayun asked the other party what was wrong, she only got a vague reply:

"You don't understand."

Xiayun felt a little innocent, but Achi just sighed and let him get back under his bed to sleep.

In this way, after many months, Xiayun and Achi left the barracks for the first time and went to the battlefield.

Because of Xiayun's excellent performance in training, he was promoted to the general soldier, leading hundreds of soldiers including Ah Chi.

He was a little excited when he heard that the war was about to start, but seeing the sad faces of the soldiers, he felt as if he had done something wrong.

After Xiayun finally set foot on the battlefield, he finally understood why everyone rejected the fight so much.

Seeing the flames of flames and blood flying on the battlefield, Xia Yun understood for the first time what fear is.

He watched as the weapons chopped off heads one by one, and then those "people" fell down, exuding a strong bloody smell, almost as pungent as the smell of gunpowder.

He was sitting on a black horse, holding the cold Fang Tianji in his hand, his body trembling slightly.

During training, he can easily hold and wield this heavy weapon.But now, he only felt that what he held in his hand was an extremely heavy piece of black iron.

It turns out that "people" are so fragile in the face of death—and war is such a terrible thing.

Xiayun watched familiar faces fall down and be buried in the raised sand.He stared blankly ahead, suddenly not understanding where he was and what he was doing.

He is a spiritual body born from the Wanren Mountains, and he was supposed to stay in the mountains and practice until he ascended.

But now, with an unfamiliar face on his face, among the fighting crowd, he watched life disappearing continuously...

On the battlefield, how can people be allowed to be distracted.

Seeing a big hammer swung towards her, Xiayun subconsciously raised her hand to resist, but was thrown off the horse by the hammer.

"what……"

Xiayun was stunned, and touched her right hand, but didn't feel the slightest pain.He stood up, held Fang Tianji in front of him, and tried to jump back on the horse.

However, when he raised his eyes, he saw that the mount under him had been shot by several sharp arrows and fell slowly to the ground.

With a roar, several horses galloped past, directly trampling on the black horse.

After the dust dispersed slightly, there was only a bloody mess left.

The blood in Xia Yun's body seemed to be frozen.He couldn't help but leaned over and retched.

"Xiayun, be careful!"

He heard a familiar cry, and then saw flesh and blood exploding in front of his eyes.

A Chi stood in front of him, his chest was pierced by a long spear, and a lot of red foam spewed from his mouth.

"Hey!"

The enemy soldiers saw that one blow could not be achieved, so they directly raised the tip of the gun——

Xiayun watched helplessly as Ah Chi was swept away, with blood splashing from his chest, and quickly disappeared under the horse's hooves.

"Achi!!"

Xia Yun's face was spattered with some blood, and the few stars of warmth quickly cooled down, freezing into the bone marrow.

No, Ah Chi won't die, after all I can...

He frantically rushed towards Ah Chi's direction, his body seemed to have been hacked several times and stepped on heavily - but it didn't matter.

He is the spirit conceived by Wanren Mountain, as long as the mountain still exists, it is impossible for him to die.

Xiayun lay on the ground, her back seemed to be torn apart, but she didn't feel any pain.He kept groping, and when he touched Ah Chi's face, he was overjoyed, patted it quickly, and said, "Ah Chi..."

He paused.

Ah Chi opened one eye, his gaze was empty.

His body had been rotten to a pulp, and what Xiayun caressed was only the left half of Ah Chi's face.

A horse's hoof stepped down, stepping Xiayun's palm hard into the mud.He watched Ah Chi's face being crushed, and the slurry flew far away.

"No—Achi, Achi!!"

Xia Yunben held hope and wanted to bring Ah Chi back to the barracks for treatment.But now, Ah Chi is dead, and even his body is broken into many pieces.

He is just a fairy, without the ability to raise the dead, flesh and bones.

"Achi..."

For the first time, he felt powerless, hopeless, and heart-piercing pain.

Sand and gravel flew on the battlefield, and black shadows kept falling down, lifting up, and then falling down again.

Xiayun lay quietly on the ground, allowing the infantry and horses to step on her body.He thought of the years spent with Ah Chi, although it was very short for him, it was already half of Ah Chi's life.

He lay on the battlefield for a long time, his chest seemed to be lit with flames, and there was a voice in his mind roaring, asking him to avenge Ah Chi—but he watched the fallen figures one by one, but finally did nothing.

On that day, the battlefield was slaughtered in darkness and blood flowed like rivers—and this was just the beginning.

After the two countries withdrew their troops, Xiayun stiffly stood up and lay down on the pile of corpses.

His Fang Tianji had been lost, and he didn't want to get it back.

He lay there, looking at the gray sky.

There are no white clouds, no glowing clouds, only large groups of wolf smoke, and a few black crows flying by occasionally.

Xiayun closed his eyes and lay there for a long, long time, until the rain fell from the sky and hit him densely.

He opened his eyes, only to see devastation.

He thought of the peace of the Wanren Mountains, the fruit trees, vegetation, clear spring water and the fragrance of flowers there...

So, he lay down for a long time before struggling to stand up, and under the moonlight, he removed the disguise from his body.

He was barefoot, stepping on the bloody water.The rain wet his eyelashes and slid gently down his face.

Same as when he came, Xiayun walked for several days and returned to Wanren Mountain.

However, the world that only belonged to him was crowded with hundreds of people at this moment.

……

Xia Yun was a little confused, but still waved her hands vigilantly, covering the group of people under the barrier.

"God, God, please let us go. We just came here to take refuge, and we didn't mean to break into your fairy mountain..."

Those people found themselves trapped by an unknown force, and seeing Xiayun's otherworldly appearance, they thought they had offended the gods, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Xiayun looked around, and saw that those people looked ashamed and helpless, they didn't look like soldiers who came to arrest him.

"You, who are you?"

He asked softly.

"I, we are the people of Yijia country... We live near the battlefield, and we hid here in order not to be affected by the flames of war."

When Xiayun heard "Yijia Country", she suddenly felt disgusted in her heart.He raised his hand, condensed a thunderbolt, and was about to strike into the barrier——

"Wow!"

Xu Shi was frightened by the lightning in Xiayun's hand, and a child cried "Wow".

Xiayun was taken aback, only to see the child's mother quickly covered the child's mouth, and kowtowed:

"Master Immortal, please let us go. Lan'er is ignorant, she didn't mean to annoy you..."

The child's mouth and nose were covered, his face was flushed red, but tears were still falling.

Xiayun thought of the corpses piled up on the battlefield, and the blood red sprinkled all over the ground.

War is so terrible, it's normal for them to want to escape, right?

What's more, they are involuntary.

Xiayun thought of her comrades who were afraid of fighting but had to go to the battlefield.With a sore heart, he withdrew the enchantment technique and said:

"You can stay."

The hundreds of people looked at each other, as if they thought they had heard wrong.

After a while, a young man said timidly, "Master Immortal, may I ask—"

Xiayun interrupted: "I'm not some god, just call me Xiayun."

The young man was stunned for a moment, and said: "Then, Master Xiayun... can we really stay?"

Xia Yun said: "I said, you can stay. Do you have any questions?"

He had just experienced the flames of war and lost his friends, so he naturally didn't have a good temper when facing the people of the enemy country.

The young man rolled his eyes and said, "We...can we live here for a long time? Can we build a house, cultivate farmland, etc.?

Xiayun felt a little annoyed, and said, "Isn't it just a house? Build it if you want." With a wave of his hand, the soil on the flat ground suddenly gathered together, twisting and turning into earth houses.

The layout of those earthen houses is the same as that of Ah Chi's house, but they only occupy a small area.

Xiayun waved again, and a lot of rice grew beside the earthen house, shining golden light.

"It's, it's a fairy..."

Those people were surprised at first, and then they showed joy. They all knelt down to Xiayun and said, "Thank you, Lord Xiayun!"

Xiayun was not in the mood to pay attention to them, so she lightly touched the ground and leaped away.He ran around in the forest and returned to the place where he first woke up.

There are lush greenery and gurgling rivers, and everything is no different from before he left.

Xiayun submerged herself in the water, roared silently for a long time, then lay down on the grass, looked at the rising moon, and murmured:

"Did I just have a dream..."

He closed his eyes, but his heart was not as happy as before.
