Nine Nights Frost

I suddenly remembered that at the end of the Great War, in order to completely wipe out the Protoss, I ordered all the Protoss who refused to surrender to be gathered in the Chifeng Valley, and their original feathers were cut off uniformly.For ten days and ten nights, the mournful cries of the protoss captives echoed throughout Weiyu Mountain, overshadowing the roaring north wind, and the blood and tears that flowed out stained the entire valley.

Weiyu Mountain and Chifeng Valley got their names from this.

Although I have never used forbidden techniques, I have done too many cruel things.

I made Xinglin and his lover separate from each other, so they spent tens of thousands of years alone.

I have peeled off the original feathers of countless gods, so one day I will have to endure such pain.

But for many things, when making a decision, it seems that there is always only one path that can lead to survival or victory.

God said that forgiveness and patience lead to salvation.

But the age of God is long over.

I have missed the chance to be saved, so I can only move forward along the path I have chosen.

It's not that I don't want to look back, but that I can't.

"Have you thought about it?" Su Lan asked softly in her ear again, "Star Master, have you thought about it?"

"Okay, I... tell... you," I said intermittently, "you... first... let go..."

"You've finally figured it out." Su Lan smiled happily, "In this case, then—follow your order."

He turned his head and told the other demons: "Let go...don't worry, it's difficult for him to even move now, and he doesn't have the strength to escape."

The other demons seemed to be obedient to him. As soon as the words fell, the demons who had restrained my hands and feet retreated one after another, and returned to stand still under the bed. Only Sulan was still sitting by the bed, looking at me with great interest. It took a few tries before I slowly sat up again.

I closed my eyes and calmed my breathing.

After waiting for a while, Su Lan said: "Star Master, can we say more? We don't have much time, and our patience is limited."

The excessive pain made the wound a little numb, and my strength seemed to recover a little for a short time.

I opened my eyes, "Say? What are you going to say?"

"You?!" My pretending to be confused made Su Lan's eyes widen, and then her eyes narrowed dangerously, "Star Lord, it's already here, so don't play tricks with us. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise you're going to be like this, aren't you—right?!"

I pulled hard behind my back with my left hand, which was already prepared, and the original feather hanging on my left shoulder was pulled up by the bones, and the bloody original feather was thrown to Sulan's feet.

The unspeakable pain made my eyes seem to be filled with a layer of blood mist. I supported my body that was about to fall with one hand, and the blood flowed down the arm I supported.

My lips were almost bitten off, and my mouth was filled with the taste of blood.

The scream almost broke through my chest, but I forcibly suppressed it. I could only rely on this retrograde airflow and wait for the redness in front of me to gradually dissipate.

"You..." Su Lan's voice trembled for the first time, and together with several other demons, she stared in horror at the disfigured Yuan Yu at her feet.

"If...don't... believe it, you...you can... pluck out another... one... Yuanyu...try...try," I showed them a blood-soaked smile, "this way... ...can...can...know...whether I...do...method...to be reborn..."

"Crack!" One of the demons retreated a few steps, and finally fell to the ground with both feet weak. The others were shaking like chaff, unable to move at all.

Su Lan took several deep breaths before she managed to make a sound: "First... take him down, and lock him into Chi, Chifeng Valley."

＊＊*

Losing half of Yuan Yu was a huge loss to me, and I fell into a coma shortly after being brought to Chifeng Valley.

I don't know how long it has been since I woke up again. I barely sat up and looked around.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Temple of Devouring God, Chifeng Valley has been used as a prison, and the people who were initially imprisoned were the most powerful clan in the entire continent - the Protoss.

Although Chifeng Valley is titled "Valley", it is actually a huge underground palace.When it was first built, the underground of the valley with a radius of ten miles was completely hollowed out. Among them, there were thousands of tightly guarded cells. The fences separating the cells were all made of black iron, which could not be penetrated by ordinary magic power.

The underground palace is divided into six floors, named after the six realms of reincarnation in mainland legends. From top to bottom, they are the heavenly realm, the asura realm, the human realm, the animal realm, the hungry ghost realm, and the hell realm.

The surroundings were dark, and the two adjacent cells were empty, so no effective information could be obtained from the surrounding environment.The layout of the entire cell is very simple.A bed made of hay, next to two old porcelain bowls, filled with a little water and two hard steamed buns.

I ate the steamed buns with clear water, and wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but the burning pain in my back made me unable to fall asleep smoothly.

Yuan Yu, who lost one side, seemed to be a little dizzy.

In a daze, it seemed that a long time had passed.During this time, Sulan came over again and pressed me for the method of rebirth through the iron gate, but in the end it was fruitless, probably because they were frightened by my action of pulling out Yuan Yu with my own hands, so they didn't take any further actions for the time being.

But whenever I wake up from lethargy, I always force myself to eat normally.

In the current situation, my physical condition is much weaker than usual, and I don't have the strength to use medical skills, so I need to maintain physical strength and a clear mind.

What worries me most now is Lu Mingchen.

Does he remember every step I gave him, can he get what I need smoothly, is he really worthy of my trust?

However, there is the most important item, even if he really lived up to the entrustment, the place he can return to is only my bedroom in the Temple of Devourer, how can he find me accurately and give me that thing ?

Things in this world are so wonderful sometimes.

Back then, in order to prolong the life of his lover, Xinglin separated three of his ten natal flowers and planted them on Su Yilan's right hand, but it became an opportunity for me to be resurrected.Later, I designed and obtained one and a half of them from Su Yilan, and set up a special mechanism when building the Temple of Devouring God to store these true gods' natal flowers.

The Protoss is a group that has the closest bloodline to the true god, and also has its own natal flower, called "Wu Geng Tan", which looks like an epiphyllum and is snow-white in color.

And the natal flower of the true god is called "Tachishenhua", which is huge and looks like a peach blossom. It grows in the snow in the Guixu Hall.

Although my rebirth has benefited from the Tochidum flower, when I snatched it, I simply used it as a means of remembering the arrival of the stars.I never thought that one day I would be so embarrassed because of it, and I could only pin my hope of turning defeat into victory on it.

Over the years, I have increasingly found myself in a terrible cycle.

Everything that was done wrong in the past seems to be slowly showing the final result.

It's like a hunter who kept a vicious dog, and one day his neck was bitten off by a hungry hound.

This is probably the "rule" of the true god, and no one can be spared.

But before the final retribution comes, I will still live tenaciously, in order to board the city that only appeared in my dream.

If this is the pain he wants me to suffer, then I will never run away from it.

The inability to measure time is most likely to confuse the senses and drive the mind into madness.

After my eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness here, I began to use my fingernails to carve marks on the mud floor to count the passage of time according to the number of guard patrols.After a long time, based on the characteristics of the guard's footsteps, I gradually heard that the guards guarding here only have two shifts in total, and they rotate once every two meals.

Since the number of guards is not large, at least it means that not all the demons joined the rebellion, or they took advantage of the fact that "most demons are not in the Temple of Devouring God" and actually participated in this operation The number of demons in the world is extremely limited.

But now, all I can do is wait.

Waiting for the enemy to take the initiative to reveal their flaws, or for Lu Mingchen to arrive.

Another few days passed, and Sulan came twice more, and I could feel his getting more and more anxious.Not long after, the guard opened the door, pushed a man in white into the cell next to me, and fixed him on the opposite wall with iron shackles.

The man seemed to have fainted, and his long black hair hung down, completely covering his face.

In the darkness, I could barely see the blood on his white clothes, as if he had been severely tortured.

Since the guards guarding us are the same group of people, the person who imprisoned him should also be Su Lan or his accomplice.

I was guessing the identity of this person, when suddenly, the man in white coughed twice, slowly raised his head and looked in my direction.After a while, he probed softly: "Star Lord...?"

"Ming Chen?"

The faint sound sounded like thunder in my ears. I wanted to go a little further to check his injuries, but because of the black iron railings, I couldn't get close to him who was locked on the opposite wall of another cell.

"... Star Lord, that's great." His breath was very weak, but there seemed to be a slight smile on his face, "I finally found you, and it's not in vain..."

His voice dropped again.

Just now the guards passed the iron shackles through his lute bone, hanging his whole body from the wall with a suspension lock.In just a moment of talking with me, the blood dripping down his toes formed a small puddle under his feet.

The people of Su Lan are frightened by my power in the past, and they dare not continue to torture me these few days, but if the target is a weak human being, they don't have to worry about it.

Now I can't heal the young man's wounds, or even get close to him.

I couldn't distinguish the emotions in my heart at this time, I just felt that I was enveloped by an unprecedented anxiety.

Why was he caught?

What about the injury?

I tried to tell myself to calm down, but there were still ripples in my heart.

"Star Lord, don't worry," the young man raised his head again, he seemed to be smiling at me, "...wait for me."

"Come here? Are you going to..." My heart trembled, and before I finished speaking, I saw the young man start to pull the iron shackles that penetrated his flesh and blood.

The cell space was originally small, and it only took a few steps to reach the black iron railing separating the two cells.Under Lu Mingchen's forceful pull, the part of the iron shackle that was originally hanging on the wall was untied a lot, and the length of the chain could be extended to the vicinity of the iron rail.

But his luteal bones on both sides were pierced, and if he wanted to move, he had to let the chain pass through the flesh and blood body inch by inch.

He is just a human being, and his ability to endure pain is far lower than that of demons. I can't imagine what kind of pain it is for humans.

Step by step, the human youth walked towards me slowly, and the black iron shackles turned dark red after passing through his body.

I should have spoken out to stop him, but all the words I wanted to say were stuck in my throat, and I could only watch him gradually approaching me.

The distance of a few steps seemed so long at this moment because of the condensed blood.

"Star Lord, am I not late?" He asked me again, this time I could finally see his face clearly.

There was still blood on the corner of his mouth, and there was a wound more than an inch long on one side of his face, his hair was disheveled, and he was in a panic.

But the eyes are clear and soft, looking at me quietly.

That kind of staring seems to come from ancient times, passing through the vast time and space, and even illuminates those dark memories.

This kind of gaze is too clear and gentle, even the deep affection that should have been kept secret, made my heart tremble, and I took a step back involuntarily.

I didn't know what I was afraid of, but I didn't dare to approach it for a while.

Seeing my movement of retreating, Lu Mingchen's eyes flashed with sadness, but he just silently untied his somewhat messy bun, and took out half a flower branch from it.

The stem of the flower branch is black, and there are three flowers blooming on it, each of which is densely clustered with petals. Room Shenghui.

This is Tochishi flower.

The flower of the true god's life.

Can give all things a new life.

Lu Mingchen handed the tochidou flower to me, and the flower branch passed through the magic barrier of the black iron railing and came to my hand.

The white clothes on the youth's shoulders were completely dyed red, but he still smiled: "Fortunately, Star Master, I'm not late, am I?"

I should restore my strength with the Tochibuta flower immediately, but I can't take my eyes off the young man's pale face.

At this moment, I figured out all the joints, "You deliberately let Su Lan and the others find out, right? Have you ever thought that if they didn't bring you here, they would kill you directly; If everything is not so lucky, then you..."

I looked at the blood stains on the Tochishin flower, and suddenly I couldn't continue talking.

In fact, I know the reason why he did this, he said it too many times.

But I never really believed it.

"Star Lord, can I gain your trust?" The young man still looked at me, but because he hadn't received a response for a long time, he shook his head and smiled miserably, his body slowly softened, and fell into the dust.

"Mingchen?!" Reflexively, I wanted to reach out to support him, but was bounced back heavily by the magic power attached to the black iron, and I fell hard to the ground, the wound on my body was stinging again.He could only see him lying on the ground with unknown life or death, his whole white clothes were stained red with blood, and the black air of death gradually gathered between his eyebrows.

I was very anxious for a while, knowing that the situation was extremely critical, so I hurriedly restrained my mind, picked off a tochidou flower, pressed it between my palms, and activated the little magic power left.Gradually, my palms were scorching hot, and a soft force came from my palms. I held my breath and concentrated on guiding it to slowly flow through my whole body.

As the flower fades from my palm, my senses are sharpened.

The chatting and laughing of guard soldiers in the distance, the howling of the north wind outside Chifeng Valley, the sound of ice and snow condensing on Weiyu Mountain, and even the echo of moonlight shining on the earth, all became very clear in my ears.

My body seems to be completely new from the inside out, I can clearly feel the wounds on my body are healing rapidly, and the newborn feathers are growing rapidly.

When I opened my eyes again, the darkness in the cell could no longer obstruct my sight, and everything in front of me was so bright and fresh.

I stand up, my body is so light.

With a wave of my hand, the black iron railings that were originally powerful in magic were all shattered.

I walked over and hugged Lu Mingchen into my arms, and lightly squeezed, the iron shackles that locked him were shattered inch by inch.

"Mingchen..." I called his name with emotions that even I couldn't distinguish.

His body was cold, I probed under his nose, but found that he was not breathing.

The light of life has slowly faded from his brow.

He is dead, and his soul will dissipate within a moment.

This human being really gave his life for me.

This is his proof.

This is his love.

He did everything that he, who was weak in strength, could do.

I closed my eyes, but I couldn't restrain my emotions, something was boiling in my head.

I know I already believe it.

No matter why he came to me, at this moment, I am willing to believe every word he said before.

I released the magic power, first immobilized his soul, then untied his clothes and checked his wounds.

Apart from the wound on his shoulder, there were countless whips and burns all over his originally smooth and delicate skin, which were traces of being tortured.My fingers slid over those scars one by one, healing those wounds one by one.

Then, I lowered my head, kissed his lips lightly, and breathed the breath of life into his body.

Then I took off my coat and wrapped him gently, picked him up and walked outside.

The road leading to the outside of Chifeng Valley is in a spiral shape, and it is built on a huge column leading to the ground.

I walked quickly along the winding road, but was stopped by guards who heard noises.

I recited the incantation, and suddenly there was a thunderstorm in the depths of the ground.The ground began to tremble, and the column to which the road was attached broke and fell to the side with a loud roar.The earth shook and the mountains shook, and countless boulders fell from the sky, smashing all the soldiers with swords and halberds into the abyss.Countless screams and screams rang out in my ears, I spread my huge wings, and flew out of the underground palace with Lu Mingchen in my arms.

Outside the Chifeng Valley, the ice mirror is bright.

I was flying in mid-air, passing through vast forests along the way.The canopy of those trees, in the strong wind of the wings behind me, separated to the two sides, and closed behind me again.The branches and leaves of countless trees swayed, like rolling waves under the moonlight.

The body temperature of the young man in his arms gradually returned to normal.

In the bright moonlight, I gently touched his handsome face.

I've given love, but I don't know what it's like to receive it.

He said he loves me.

Humans are so weak, but maybe their love isn't.

Maybe because of loving others, he is willing to give everything of himself, including his life.

I think of that time, my hopeless love, and Xinglin's cold rejection face.

I know all too well the feeling of not being rewarded no matter how hard you try.

I think I should be nicer to the person in my arms.

It's like hugging the softly crying self in memory.
