The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

Qi, shape, and quality are integrated into one without separation, which is "chaos".

Chaos is an undivided state of unity, also known as "One", which is "Tai Chi".

From the "Tai Chi" life into two, "the light and clear go up to the sky, and the turbid and heavy go down to the earth", and then from the heaven and the earth to produce people and all things - this is the beginning of the heaven and the earth.

The ancient Yan family in southern Xinjiang has always believed in this state. They believe that the purest power is at the beginning of the world. Chaos gave birth to Pan Gu, and Pan Gu opened the world.

——"The heaven and earth are as chaotic as a chicken, and Pangu was born in it. Eight thousand years old, the heaven and the earth were opened up, the sun is clear, the sky is cloudy, and the turbidity is the earth. Pangu is in it, changing nine times a day, the god is in the sky, and the holiness is in the earth.

The sky is ten feet higher every day, the earth is ten feet thicker every day, and Pangu is ten feet longer every day, so it is eight thousand years old.

The sky is extremely high, the earth is extremely deep, and Pan Gu is extremely long.Later there were three emperors.Counting begins at one, stands at three, completes at five, prospers at seven, and stands at nine, so heaven and earth are ninety thousand miles away. "

This is a story that Yan Keqing liked very much when he was very young. He often thought that the sun and moon in the sky were Pangu's eyes, the trees were his hair, and the river was his blood. What would Pangu look like?

There is a saying that the sunlight separates the chaos, so the Yan family prefers the night. They move around at night without using candles. Slowly, they stay away from the crowd, live in the mountains, and gradually have extraordinary night vision. .

Like ghosts that are only suitable for the night, they walk through the forest in their own way, and are isolated from those groups outside the forest. After a long time, no one approaches them.

Later, Yan Keqing heard the evaluation of the outside world, and they called the forest where Yan lived as "Dark Forest".

The person who told him was the only person he had ever loved in his life, a woman.

Yan Keqing is already the great wizard of the Yan family.According to regulations, the great wizard of the Yan family should be appointed by the previous great wizard, and must be at least 20 years old. Before Yan Keqing, no one broke this rule.

But the longer he studied with the great wizard, the more Yan Keqing wanted to become a great wizard. Everyone's almost fearful admiration for the great wizard made Yan Keqing envious. At that time, he didn't realize that the great wizard had been working hard How terrifying is power.

With her intelligence, youthful recklessness, and a little bit of luck, Yan Keqing used a little trick to let herself take office early.

The too-young great wizard made the tribe uneasy. At first, Yan Keqing's work was not smooth.

He was always impatient. Why did the tribe ask him so many boring questions? His attitude fell into the eyes of the tribe, and there was another interpretation.

Yan Keqing is very troublesome.That day, the moonlight just climbed into the night sky, and he walked out of the residence, as if he was angry with someone, he walked further and further, until he left the clan boundary, he still did not stop.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.Yan Keqing walked through the forest alone without any hindrance.

Suddenly, he heard an exclamation, which was a woman's voice. After the exclamation, Lin Zi fell into silence, as if it was just Yan Keqing's illusion.Yan Keqing stood there and listened for a while, then chose a direction and strode over.

The thick roots of the big trees broke through the ground, and the undulating roots made it difficult to walk, but Yan Keqing did not struggle at all. He went around a certain tree and saw the thickest roots and roots. In a hollow formed by the tree, nestled a strange girl.

The young girl's skin was fair, covered with a faint silver glow under the moonlight, and tears left two marks on her face, like the silhouette of the Milky Way.

She tightly covered her mouth with her hands to keep herself from making a sound, her eyes were big and bright, staring straight at Yan Keqing, obviously terrified.

After approaching, the smell of blood that he had just smelled was even heavier, Yan Keqing looked at the girl's leg, where it was injured, and blood was still gurgling out.

The exclamation must have come from the girl.

The girl looked at Yan Keqing with unconcealable fear in her eyes.She knew that this was a dark forest, and the clan members told her not to come here on weekdays, saying, "It's a forest that you can't get out of."

But her grandmother was ill, and only this forest had life-saving medicinal materials.It's risky, and she doesn't know what dangers lie in the woods.

The forest is too big, as she walked deeper and deeper, she became more flustered, just when she thought she really couldn't get out, a man appeared in front of her, dressed in white, with a calm and distant temperament like a fairy, beautiful The face was so handsome that the girl had never seen before.

But the girl immediately thought of the "ghosts" in the forest. I heard that they have human form and are very handsome. They only walk at night, devour people's hearts, and are extremely terrifying.Confused, she slipped and fell, and a bloody gash was drawn on her leg.

Maybe it was the girl's fear, or maybe it was because of the strangeness and freshness, in short, the girl made Yan Keqing feel an inexplicable attraction, so he knelt down to check the girl's injuries.

The girl flinched, but there was no way to retreat.Yan Keqing saw the herbs falling aside, picked them up casually, tore up the leaves and put them in his mouth to chew.

The girl was stunned, and rushed to Yan Keqing to get back the herbal medicine: "You spit it out! It was for my grandma's treatment! Don't eat it! Isn't it a heart-eater? You eat me!"

Yan Keqing raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl.The girl seemed to have come to her senses, not knowing where she had the courage to say such words.

With a chuckle, Yan Keqing continued to chew the leaves in his mouth, then spit out the grass leaf residue in his palm, pressed it into a flat piece, and applied it to the girl's injured leg.

"This is the blue heart grass that stops the bleeding. It shouldn't cure any serious illness." Yan Keqing said lightly.

The girl was completely stunned.

"What's wrong with your grandma?"

"Ah?" The girl's dazed expression was cute and funny, so Yan Keqing smiled candidly and asked again.

"Sick disease..."

Yan Keqing said "oh", this is not a serious illness, but it is rare for him to be helpless.Yan Keqing took out a cloth bag from his bosom, picked out a pill from it, and handed it to the girl.

"Take this back to your grandma, cut it into three parts, soak it in water and drink it, and drink it for three days."

The girl's expression was very confused, Yan Keqing couldn't help thinking of the squirrels running around.

They have the same big eyes, they seem to be very timid, but also very smart, looking into them vigilantly, but there is a sense of foolishness from the inside out.Yan Keqing smiled, "There are a lot of herbs in the forest, you just found the wrong one."

The girl took it suspiciously, held it in her hand and looked at it, secretly observing Yan Keqing by the moonlight.

The more you look at it, the better it looks.The girl's face was slowly turning red, the tears had long since dried up, and the moonlight fell on her face, showing a different style.

Yan Keqing stood up and stretched out his hand to the girl, "I'll take you out."

The girl hesitated for a while, then put her hand in Yan Keqing's.

A hand with well-defined joints, and a slender and white hand, the girl heard a "bump" in her heart.

Yan Keqing might have heard it too, but he just smiled, led the girl out of the forest, and showed her the way back.

Before parting, Yan Keqing asked the girl's name.

"Jiang Qi." The girl said.

Three days later...

As the sky darkened, Yan Keqing went out of his residence, heading to the place where he left the girl last time.He had a premonition that Jiang Qi would come.

When the moon was on the top of the forest, the cold air hit Yan Keqing's robe, and the moonlight like water covered him.Jiang Qi came running from the other side of the road, and she saw Yan Keqing from a distance.

Jiang Qi's grandma woke up, and she came to thank Yan Keqing.The two did not agree in advance, but she knew that Yan Keqing would come back.

Panting and stopping, Jiang Qi looked at Yan Keqing, overjoyed: "Azuma woke up, your medicine is really powerful."

"That's good……"

"You didn't even tell me your name."

"You didn't ask."

Jiang Qi was startled, a little dumbfounded, "Okay, please tell me your name."

"My surname is Yan..." Yan Keqing looked into Jiang Qi's eyes very seriously and said, "Yan Keqing..."

The moonlight that night was very good, but time passed too quickly, it seemed that we had just met and we were about to part.

The love happened so fast and suddenly that the two were reluctant to part with each other. Yan Keqing promised Jiang Qi: I will wait for her here tomorrow.

For the next day, two days, and three days, they all met like this, at night, under the darkness of night.

But it didn't last long, Yan Keqing couldn't get out of the night, Jiang Qi couldn't get out of the day, both of them suffered a lot.

So they had to meet every few days, first every other day, then every two days, but every time they met, Jiang Qi was full of joy, but Yan Keqing wanted to see each other every day.

"Let me go back and find a way." Yan Keqing said, "Let me look up the family books, maybe there will be a way." For many years, the Yan family has never intermarried with foreigners, and only living in darkness has become the biggest restriction .

"Okay." Jiang Qi agreed. She knew that Yan Keqing was the great wizard of the Yan family, and he was a very powerful person, so she believed in him, trusting him unconditionally and blindly. This kind of trust gave her a kind of "entrusted" happiness feel. "Did you know there is an apricot forest there? It's blooming now, and it's very, very beautiful."

"is it?"

"Pink, lumps, lots and lots."

"What color is pink?" The tone in the dark night was monotonous and boring, Yan Keqing had only seen gray apricot blossoms.

"That's right..." Jiang Qi thought for a while, "I'll take you to see it next time, let's watch it together."

"it is good……"

Days of exhaustion made Jiang Qi look haggard, but Yan Keqing was still in good spirits. Standing together, Jiang Qi inexplicably felt uncomfortable.

"You are so beautiful, like a god."

Yan Keqing took Jiang Qi's hand and pressed the back of her hand to his cheek, "Just be your only god."

During that time, Yan Keqing said love words that he had never said in his entire life, because he fell in love with someone for the first time, and since then, he has never fallen in love with anyone else.

Some tribesmen noticed that their great wizard had changed, and this change made people panic. Their great wizard actually wanted to leave the forest, leave the Yan family, leave the night, and go outside to live with a foreign woman.

Yan Keqing was very annoying, he felt more and more that the so-called "Great Wizard", the so-called "Yan Shi", bound him, bound him, he was neither self-righteous, but also confined within an inch.

Someone began to plan secretly, intending to choose another new great wizard.There was a tense atmosphere in Yan's family, Yan Keqing pretended not to know, and went to see Jiang Qi as scheduled.

But Jiang Qi didn't come.

On the second night, Yan Keqing went again, but Jiang Qi still didn't come.He couldn't believe that Jiang Qi would break their agreement, but on the third and fourth day, Jiang Qi still didn't show up.

On the fifth day, Yan Keqing couldn't hold back anymore.That was the first time he saw the sun, from the twilight dawn, to the morning glow in the sky, and then to the clear daylight, he walked in the daytime, his body was exhausted, but he did not die.

Wearing a hood, Yan Keqing wrapped herself tightly and walked to Jiang's territory along the way Jiang Qi came every day.

Yan Keqing found it strange that everything under the sun was colorful.On the way, he passed a small forest, not far from the forest, the trees were full of apricot blossoms, Yan Keqing stopped, stopped and admired for a while, it turns out that pink is like this.He picked the next one and carefully put it in his arms, thinking how happy Jiang Qi would be when he saw him.

The Jiang family's territory is in a bustling and bustling small village, and when Yan Keqing was walking, the surrounding noises were completely different from those of the Yan family.

Walking along the main road, at the other end of the village, there is a raised wooden platform on which a dying woman is tied.

——That was his Jiang Qi.
