His old enemy deceives the world

6000 years ago, on the top of Qiongtu Mountain.

The cold morning wind blew past, and a fine layer of frost and snow had already condensed on the canopy of the sycamore trees that towered into the sky.And the flaming phoenix was walking on the branch near the top. It slowly stopped in front of a slender branch and leaf, lowered its neck and picked off the dead leaves on it with its beak, and then let it go with the wind. .

"Thank you." The leaves rustled. Behind Phoenix, a tall and straight young man gradually gathered from ink and wash. The lines of his side face are very clearly lined up. He looked into the distance at this moment, as if he said with a little melancholy: "I may be sick. It has been three years since Chuchu last said goodbye... the leaves on my tiny branches began to sprout one after another. dry."

When Fenghuang heard this, he shook the feathers on his head in a funny way, and said: "You also said that it was a trivial matter, so it seems that this problem is not very serious."

"How could it be?" The young man raised his head, and his cold facial features emerged from the shadows: "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest, didn't Chu Chu teach me this?"

"I also taught you to know how to know the long flow of water." Phoenix was helpless, it spread its wings and jumped off the branch, landed on the ground and took the shape of a human. After subconsciously hooking the cuff with his fingers, he turned his head and looked at the The young man behind him asked, "Why did you suddenly think of shapeshifting? Didn't you always think that...a tree only needs to be rooted in the soil?"

"Don't Chuchu like it?" The young man raised an eyebrow and asked irrelevantly.

"No." Chu Yu had to raise his head slightly to look directly at the young man in front of him. He set his eyes on the dark pupils like a deep pool, and asked, "It's just...why would you want to change into this?"

Different from birds and beasts, the appearance of the grotesques can change as they wish, and Ah Zi has never been to the top of Qiongtu Mountain since he took root, and there are only a handful of people he has seen to describe their appearance, so Chu Yu is really curious. How did he change into such an aesthetically normal appearance?

——And, not to mention, it actually suits him very well.

"I didn't change it." The young man replied: "It's Chu Chu's portrait drawn on rice paper, and I used it."

"Portrait?" Chu Yu was taken aback for a moment. He carefully looked at Ah Zi's face, and found that there was indeed some familiarity between the edges and corners, so he recalled in a daze, when he was with Ah Zi on the top of the mountain in the past, He often read some story books to pass the time, and even made a few portraits of the plots in them, but he just put them away after painting, but he couldn't find them when he tried to look for them afterwards.

At that time, he thought it was blown away by the wind, but he didn't expect that it was actually put away secretly by Ah Zi.

"Well, I chose one of them to be my skin, because only Chu Chu inscribed words on that portrait, so I guess Chu Chu might like this skin very much." The young man brushed his fingers over the corner of his mouth, not quite Smiling skillfully, the emotions revealed in his words and deeds are very light, just like the cold and solemn plane tree behind him.

"I...well..."

But Chu Yu bent his knuckles and pressed them against his lips. His usually calm face was a little embarrassed at the moment. He couldn't explain to Ah Zi that those portraits were all characters in cliche novels about demons, ghosts and foxes, and he The reason why he only mentions words in this one is because the tragic end of this character won his heart.

——This character was originally a mountain spirit and ghost who lived deep in the wild and had no knowledge of the world. After saving the prince and noble who fell into the mountain stream because of being hunted down, he gradually began to know and love him in his daily relationship. It can be called the first time. For the first time, I tasted the maddening feeling of love.

So from then on, he began to willingly go through fire and water for the royal family, doing all the things that hurt nature and reason.But just when the royal family finally got their long-cherished wish and sat on a high position, the matter of driving monsters to harm people came to light.So the royal family had no choice but to abandon the car to protect the handsome man, and lead people to encircle and suppress the monster to that mountain stream with a ruthless heart, and then stabbed him to death with a sharp weapon for killing monsters in full view of everyone.

But this alone was not enough to make the royal family feel at ease, so he then asked people to dismantle the monster's bones into several pieces and put them in the walls of eight mausoleums in different directions, ordering hundreds of Taoist priests to chant day and night The magic trick to ensure that I can sleep peacefully every night.

Although Chu Yu still marvels at this story, he doesn't want Ah Zi to know about his little-known hobby.After all, even in his spare time, the demon lord, who has always been very powerful, should do it to comprehend the way of heaven, instead of relying on reading old-fashioned and bloody human world scriptures under the shade of a tree, and even read a little. serious face.

So thinking of this, Chu Yu raised a reserved smile, and said calmly: "It's very suitable for you, Ah Zi, I like it very much."

"Chu Yu..." But who knew that the young man's eyes darkened, he suddenly took two steps forward, leaned down and kissed the corner of Chu Yu's mouth, and said in a low voice, "I also really like...you."

"Ah Zi!" Chu Yu suddenly pressed his palm against the young man's forward-leaning chest. After a brief shock, his consciousness began to gradually return, so the distance between the two was suddenly opened, and he looked a little embarrassed and said: "I said , don't do this suddenly!"

"So, it's okay not to 'suddenly'?" the young man asked.

Chu Yu was speechless. Thousands of thoughts welled up in his chest at this moment, but they all sank into the bottom of his heart when no one noticed. It was not until after a long while of silence that he finally calmed down, took a deep breath, and looked He said solemnly to the young man: "Ah Zi, I said before, I don't want to lie to you, although somewhere in my heart it is indeed hard to let go of the bond with you, but I also can't let myself indulge in it... I can't extricate myself."

"..."

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the young man asked, "Why?"

"I... I don't know, Ah Zi, maybe the time has not come yet." Chu Yu said, avoiding his gaze.

"Then how long will I have to wait to get to that 'time'?" The young man asked calmly, his eyes were as hard and heavy as marble, staring at Chu Yu's face and said: "Or that day will never happen?" Arrival?——Because you are busy saving the demon lord who was born in the water and fire, and I am just a sycamore tree trapped on the top of Qiongtu Mountain by the ban of heaven and earth. You can't accompany me all the time, so you won't either Make a promise to me easily, don't you?"

"Ah Zi..." Chu Yu raised his head suddenly.

"...But I don't care, Chu Yu." The young man slowly knelt down in front of him, with a pious expression on his face: "You can't find time to come and see me, and even if you leave for three or five years...it doesn't matter. Because I am a tree, I have endless years to wait for, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, I will be here, waiting for you to fall on my branch again... Chu Chu, as long as you can open your mouth and agree to that sentence now, I will do anything Can endure."

"Ah Zi." Chu Yu stuck his sharp nails into his palm, and said in a deep voice, "Have you ever thought that maybe I'm not worth what you've paid so far?"

The young man lowered his eyes: "But you also taught me, 'A sinking boat can be repaired, but a flooded boat cannot be recovered', so I don't want to regret it."

"Is it hard to get rid of the water..." Chu Yu was a little surprised. His mood at this moment was indescribable, but in the end, he felt a sense of relief that "my family has a baby who is just growing up", which made him suddenly feel both moved and ridiculous.

"Promise me, Chuchu." The young man also stood up at this time, he raised his arm to hold Chu Yu's hand, and said hoarsely: "Turn me into something that only belongs to you."

Chu Yu was genuinely moved from the bottom of his heart, but after hearing the young man's words, his expression darkened instantly, and he gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Ah Zi...are you peeking at me?" My book collection?"

Seeing this, the young man still remained expressionless, and said, "Chu Chu has been away for three years, so I naturally want to use something to talk about."

"..." Chu Yu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a cold air between his brows, and he said coldly, "If you want to talk for comfort, why don't you use your right hand?"

"How does Chuchu know that I'm useless?"

"..."

Chu Yu never expected that Ah Zi could understand this, so he was choked immediately, and after a pause, he turned to keep secret: "No wonder you withered so many leaves."

After he finished speaking, the young man originally wanted to say something more, but suddenly the crown of the sycamore tree behind him shook violently as if being blown by a strong wind, so that even a layer of snow mist fell down freely, and the entire mountaintop was shaken. Time snowed heavily.

And in this white haze, several trees and vines broke through the snow in an instant, they rolled and chased in mid-air, and in just a moment, they tightly tied up the shadow that was watching in the dark, and sent a sharp knife to the ground. The spikes rested on its throat.

"Ah Zi, stop." Chu Yu patted Ah Zi's shoulder reassuringly as he spoke, and after he put him down, he stepped forward, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the person coming, and said, "Wu Yin, it's you." ..."

He said with a hint of power in his words: "I remember that I clearly instructed the guards of the Suzaku tribe at the bottom of the mountain to let them remember that whenever there is a strange mouse passing by in this mountain, they must come up and let me know."

"Hehe...is that so?" Wu Yin was thrown to the ground by the tree vines, and he held his chest and forced a laugh: "It seems...even if you use absolute force to suppress|suppress them for thousands of years... , there are plenty of people out there who don’t agree with your meager pedigree.”

These words can be described as very presumptuous, but Chu Yu remained indifferent, not because of anything else, but because he has been in the top position all year round, he has been used to being able to remain calm under any provocation, and it is also the same at this moment, he His eyes were calm and he said: "Really? It's a pity that they obeyed my orders when they were in front of me, and they didn't dare to do anything wrong. I guess it's the arrogance you said... Actually, it's not hard enough yet?"

The smile on Wu Yin's face faded, he stood up, the light in his blue eyes was vague, and he said in a sullen tone: "Chu Yu, don't forget who promoted you from your humble body back then, if you didn't Me, all your life you can only be a little bastard mixed with mortal blood, muddled under the hands of the Karmic Bone Demon King, and allowed to be bullied by others, how can you be where you are today?"

Chu Yu glanced at him coldly, and replied word by word: "Sometimes, I really would rather be a muddle-headed bastard for the rest of my life."

"Hahaha—forget it! Chu Yu!" Wu Yin laughed abruptly when he heard the words: "Why do you have to act like that noble and flawless demon lord? You and I both know who you are! Power, fame, power , How many monster bones have you stepped on because of these things? ——I think you can’t even remember it yourself!?”

Hearing what Wu Yin said, the young man at the side couldn't help but move, but Chu Yu quickly stopped him.

I saw that his expression remained calm, but the outside of the dark red pupils had already been smudged with a circle of red golden arcs, and he just stared at the human being in front of him with such an imposing manner: "Kigakure, no matter how much you don't want to , I became a demon master is already an established fact, and over the years, no matter how you have committed crimes, I have never pursued any crimes against you, because I will always remember the helping hand you gave me when I was in Jinshazhou Grace."

"And the oath I made at that time will also be counted forever, so I will not trace the reason why you came here today, let alone punish you for your rudeness, because..." He slowly opened his lips: "We are Brother, isn't it?"
