of the people, "Get out."

Countless creatures quickly retreated towards the periphery of the ancient battlefield in the next moment.

Guifeng didn't care about the changes around him, he just observed the bronze mirror in his hand.

"It seems that the legendary mirror that symbolizes destruction is not very good."

"Not aggressive at all, I really think highly of him." Ghost Dragon seemed to agree with the other party's opinion, "But it's better to be careful, seal it."

"Just seal it like this? Doesn't it mean that this thing can fulfill all wishes?"

"It's definitely not easy to have such a fierce reputation. We can still seal it now, and it will be bad if something happens. What's more, the method of using this thing has not been handed down, and we don't have any wishes I need this ghost thing to help." The other king didn't seem to care about this, black energy emanated from his body, and the fire light surrounded the ancient bronze mirror.

Immediately, the bronze mirror flew out from the hand of the king dressed in red, safely suspended in mid-air at the core of the ancient battlefield, surrounded by red flames and black energy, and the palpitating power of the seal intersected from black to red. pierced through the radiance, sealing off all dead power.

Guifeng looked at the bronze mirror sealed at the core of the ancient battlefield, and did not speak, but a complicated expression flashed in his eyes.

"Let's go." Ghost Dragon said.

"Since you have sealed the Mirror of Vain Life, why did it appear in the Copper Time and Space again?" Xia Yu listened to the red figure who was still standing by the river looking at the bridge in the distance telling his story unhurriedly, and asked with some doubts asked.

But Guifeng didn't answer right away.

Feeling the numbness of his feet, Xia Yu brushed off the dust on the slightly flat rock beside him, and sat on it without hesitation, waiting quietly for Guifeng's answer.

For a moment, a desolate voice sounded.

"Yeah... If it is really sealed, it will not appear in the copper dimension."

"...and I won't be here anymore."

(nine)

No one in the world can be truly desireless.

As long as one has self-awareness, desire will be buried in the depths of the mind, and once provoked, it will break through the buried soil and take root tenaciously and quickly.

Even Guifeng, who is the king of the Netherworld, is no exception.

He and the ghost dragon have the same root and origin, and they have stayed together for thousands of years, ruling the world of the netherworld together. The pride and self-confidence of the ancient creatures are their deep-seated characters, and their human appearances are all formed. The ancient powerhouses of their spiritual bodies.

Everything about him and Ghost Dragon is the same.

Only the hundreds of years when the ghost dragon left the ancient battlefield.

For Ghost Dragon, during tens of thousands of years of accumulation and evolution, he can always feel the company of another consciousness, and finally condenses into reality on that day, leaving the boring and monotonous ancient battlefield.In the world of ghost dragons, there has never been a feeling of complete loneliness to the moment of seeing the existence of another life.But for Guifeng who had no choice but to accept the hundreds of years of complete silence, when he opened his eyes from the endless silence and saw the existence of another life, it was an unforgettable touch.

So much so that this touch has been lurking in his heart, prompting him to yearn for a world full of flowers.

The creatures in the nether world are only ghosts and monsters with low intelligence, and demons who have no emotions.But all the spirits in the nether world, the human world described by ghosts and demons, has unprecedented prosperity, and everyone is a wonderful and not monotonous creature.

So he is almost obsessively yearning for a world of endless colors.

It is not so much the longing for the human world, but the longing for the moment when the spiritual body, which was born after thousands of years of precipitation, was moved from monotonous to colorful.

But the Huangquan River, which can corrode everything, perfectly surrounds the entire nether world, and the only way to reach the human world is to walk across the Huangquan River to the other side that cannot be seen clearly.

——The price of crossing the bridge of Naihe is to cleanse the soul and get rid of all memories.

This means that he will forget the endless years of staying with the ghost dragon's consciousness, forget the moment when he condensed into a solid body and opened his eyes to see that person standing in front of him, and forget the hundreds of years that followed to conquer the world.

Compared with longing for the world, Guifeng would rather continue to stay with Guilong in the dim Netherworld.

He has somewhat given up on this obsession for many years.

Until the moment when Wu Shengjing appeared in this world.This mirror possesses the mysterious power passed down from ancient times, and can fulfill all the wishes of the wishers.

He and Ghost Dragon personally sealed the Vain Mirror at the very center of the ancient battlefield, intercepting the power of death within the seal.The Netherworld restored order the moment the source of darkness was blocked, but the desire triggered in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

One month after he was sealed in the Vain Mirror, he returned to the ancient battlefield alone.

Ghost Dragon is sleeping soundly in the northern palace at the moment, completely unaware that his consciousness is temporarily sealed by his trusted partner.

The unpretentious bronze mirror is still wrapped in black and red mixed energy, silently suspended in mid-air in the center of the ancient battlefield.The resentful spirits floated aimlessly above, but they didn't dare to approach the seal at all.

He walked up to the bronze mirror.

The red flame suddenly rose, wrapping him and the sealed bronze mirror together.

The flame that originally surrounded the mirror of vain life burned the black energy intertwined with it at the moment when the fire light wrapped the ghost phoenix and the seal, and the breath of destruction seeped out from the gradually weakened seal, but could not penetrate the periphery Surrounded by flames.

After a long time, the black energy completely disappeared, Guifeng stretched out his hand, and took back the flame that had sealed the mirror of vain life for more than a month.

The copper mirror, which had lost all restraints, exuded an aura of death without fear in an instant, but was blocked by the surrounding flames.

Guifeng grabbed the floating mirror and observed it carefully.

The mirror of vain life has long since lost its owner, so it uncontrollably exudes an aura of death.And the method of using this ancient artifact has long been buried forever along with its owner in the ancient battlefield that was once full of glory and dignity.

He looked at the mirror, thinking about possible ways.

But apart from the black aura emanating from the mirror body, this ancient myth has nothing special about it.

"Isn't it just a mirror that is very easy to seal? I don't believe how mysterious this thing can be." He turned the mirror in his hand and muttered to himself.

Guifeng poured her own power into the mirror, but there was no response.

He continued to try every conceivable way.

But in vain Shengjing still stubbornly exuded the breath of death, and there was no other reaction.

The king who inherited the pride of the ancient soul was not willing to give up, but explored the possible ways of using it more seriously.

"There must be a way." He looked at the mirror, which was still unmoved, and his frowning face was reflected on the mirror.

He said: "I must know the way to the world other than walking through the bridge of Naihe."

The accident happened in the next moment.

In an instant, the mirror of vain life shined brightly.

Milky white light emanates from the mirror body, and through the flames surrounding it and the ghost phoenix, it illuminates almost the entire ancient battlefield.

Guifeng was stabbed by the sudden light and subconsciously closed her eyes.

After some time, the glaring feeling gradually disappeared.

He slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him has already changed another scene.

(ten)

"That's just an illusion." Guifeng replied.

Xia Yu, who was sitting on the rock, looked at the tall and straight back, but was even more puzzled, "Why is it an illusion?"

"At that time, I didn't realize that it was an illusion." Guifeng's voice did not fluctuate in the slightest, but it did not have the usual domineering, with a heart-wrenching low-pitched tone, "I only found out after waking up from the illusion... ...The use of the Vain Mirror is very simple, you just need to say your wish to it. However, the wisher must pass its test."

"It means seeing through the illusion, right?" Xia Yu continued the other party's words.

Guifeng just nodded.

With his back turned to Xia Yu, Xia Yu could only see his nodding in affirmation, but couldn't see his expression clearly.

Xia Yu asked: "What happened later? What kind of illusion did you encounter?"

There was no sound from the front again.

Xia Yu, who has long been accustomed to delayed answers from ghosts and phoenixes, stood up from the rock, walked slowly to the river, stood side by side with the man in red, watched the gurgling river flowing in front of him, and waited patiently The other party's opening.

He randomly picked up the stones on the ground and threw them upwards gently.

Four splashes of water splashed straight and neatly above the river surface.

"I'm lost in an illusion."

Niutou didn't answer Mazui's answer.

Xia Yu turned his head and looked at Guifeng not far away.From this angle, Xia Yu could only see Guifeng's delicate side face, but still couldn't see the other party's expression clearly.

He didn't continue to ask the question just now, but listened to the other party politely and continued: "I don't know how long the outside world has passed, but I just stayed in the illusion for thirteen days. I never thought that it was an illusion, but It’s not the real world. Everything in the illusion is so real that I can’t doubt it at all. Until the No. 13 day, the illusion suddenly collapsed bit by bit before my eyes, and then I woke up.”

Opening his eyes, Guifeng still saw the unchanging scenery of the ancient battlefield.

Countless resentful spirits floated in the sky, with dead bones everywhere.

Black energy surrounds his body, dispelling the wraiths who want to approach.

But the mirror of in vain disappeared.

He had absolutely no idea what was going on.In his memory, he briefly sealed the ghost dragon's consciousness, came to the ancient battlefield, took down the mirror of vain life that he and the ghost dragon had suppressed together, and expressed his wish.

Immediately, a blossoming world appeared before his eyes.

The endless bustle and bustle, the endless flow of figures, every creature has a different characteristic, and every place has a different splendor.

Green mountain forests, blue streams, flowers of various colors, the completely invisible blue sky in the netherworld, and crowds of countless hues gathered and living together.

Everything is so beautiful, so wonderful.

He thought this was the legend of Wu Shengjing fulfilling his wish.

It wasn't until the moment when the scene in front of him collapsed little by little in front of him that Guifeng realized the falseness of this world.

When he woke up the next moment, all he could see was the ancient battlefield that couldn't be more clearly in his memory.

The energy surrounding him did not come from the red color of his underworld fire, the mirror of vain life disappeared, and he did not originate from the core of the ancient battlefield—this is where he was born and evolved his consciousness.

Then he saw Ghost Dragon's message.

Xia Yu looked at Guifeng who was suppressing his emotions. He could fully feel the sadness of that person, but he didn't break the disguise of the other party's collapse, but asked calmly, "What did Guilong say?"

"...he said everything."

Xia Yu was puzzled, "What does everything mean?"

"Everything that happened after I entered the illusion."

"He didn't wake up until I temporarily sealed his consciousness for three days. Later, he found the ancient battlefield after my breath. What he saw was me with my eyes closed, and the mirror of vain life floating in front of me. "

Speaking of this, Guifeng paused, and casually picked up the stones on the ground like Xia Yu, and threw them into the river ahead, as if venting something.

The next moment, nine neat and straight sprays appeared on the river.

"He couldn't wake me up, and my soul breath was declining little by little. He couldn't do anything about it. So he tried to use the Wusheng Mirror just like me. But he was luckier than me, or in other words, He's better than me." Guifeng smiled and admitted without hesitation that the person in his mouth was better than him, without the slightest bit of refusal to admit defeat, "He passed through the illusion and knew that I was lost in the mirror of vain life. In the illusion of the test, I know that if I continue to indulge in the illusion, my soul will disappear little by little until it ceases to exist, and I also know... the method to wake me up."

"What method?" Xia Yu blurted out almost subconsciously, but realized his faux pas the next moment.

The eyes of Guifeng who said these words were already full of sadness.

But Guifeng didn't care about Xia Yu's questioning at all. He turned his head, but he was not looking at the bridge not far away.

He looked straight at Xia Yu, and said word by word: "Once you make a wish to Wu Shengjing, Wu Shengjing will remember the breath of the wisher's soul and bring his consciousness into the illusion. If you can't get out Out of the illusion, the soul will gradually disappear with the sinking of consciousness. When the soul disappears, the lost person really no longer exists. To wake up the lost person, one must put his The consciousness is brought back. To bring the consciousness back, it is necessary to let the Wusheng mirror erase the soul breath it remembers."

"...In the entire Netherworld, in the whole world, only the Naihe Bridge can erase the soul breath of all people and things that pass by."

Hearing this, Xia Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and already had the answer in his heart.

But he didn't ask.

This kind of reality is too cruel, so cruel that the listeners can't bear to resort to it.

(eleven)

The setting sun hangs over the not-too-high green hills in the distance, and the soft goose-yellow sunlight shines obliquely on the water surface, reflecting layers of yellow waves.Occasionally, birds flash by, splashing a little bit of water.

Xia Yu will never forget Guifeng at that moment for the rest of his life.

It is clear that he is standing upright by the river, looking so strong, but there is only endless sadness in his eyes.

He looked at the bridge across the river, and said word by word the almost cruelest facts to him, but his tone was extremely gentle, with a hint of deepness.

"He took the mirror of vain life and walked across the bridge of Naihe."

"I clearly remember the last sentence of the words he left me."

"He said, wait for me to come back."

"I believe it."

"I was by the Huangquan River, looking at the Naihe Bridge. I watched it every day and every year without giving up. I watched it for more than 200 years."

Xia Yu didn't know how to speak, he just quietly looked at Guifeng in front of him and listened patiently.

Guifeng's eyes were obviously full of sadness, but Xia Yu didn't see a single tear from this lonely Phoenix. ——A spirit body has no tears.

Even if there was, how could such a person cry?

"...What happened next?" The deep voice was interrupted for a long time, Xia Yu looked at Guifeng who was already somewhat unable to speak, and finally gave him a little courage to speak.

Guifeng was still unable to speak.

He didn't follow Xia Yu's words right away, but turned around again, looking at the slowly flowing river and the bridge where pedestrians and vehicles could be vaguely seen.

In a trance, Xia Yu suddenly understood why the person in front of him insisted on looking at this scene.

It seemed like a long time before Xia Yu heard Guifeng's voice again.

"I have waited for more than 200 years, and I can't believe him anymore.——So I also set foot on the bridge of Naihe."

The water of the Yellow Springs blocks all the creatures of the Netherworld, clearly separating the human world from the Netherworld, but it also prevents the dragon and phoenix who have been together for thousands of years from meeting each other.Only the bridge of Naihe, which cleans everything, can lead to the unknown world.

Once you step on the bridge leading to the world, you have to give up everything.

But Guifeng still walked up.

In order to find the ghost dragon that has been away for more than 200 years.

Guifeng continued, "Maybe it's because he and I are special spirit bodies. We are not attached to the unborn baby. We are washed away and become a normal person. Naiheqiao can't really wash away Our memory and soul breath can only be sealed in our spirit body. And we can't fuse with the unborn baby. We can only be an additional spirit, attached to the ancient strong that originally evolved us. The ones are in the masters and reincarnations of various time and space."

"As for the seal on our soul, unless we accumulate enough energy, it will be difficult to break even a corner of it. So this time, if I hadn't unintentionally accepted the fire attacks from all the flame emissaries, Thus breaking through the seal—" He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Perhaps I will cling to your body as I did for more than 1000 years after I arrived in this world. And one short life. Then...forget about him."

The words fell, relatively silent.

The seal of Guifeng has been completely released.But what about the ghost dragon?

Xia Yu clearly remembered that on the extremely cloudy day, the ghost dragon instantly absorbed too much energy from the underworld magnet and disappeared into Xia Tian's body.

"Ghost Phoenix... Since you have been in my body for so many years, you should be very clear that before you appeared, Ghost Dragon..."

"Suddenly absorbing too much energy may be the same as me. He might break through the seal and go back at that moment." Guifeng interrupted Xia Yu's words without hesitation. He said, with a rare flash of light in his eyes. The light of hope.

But Guifeng was able to balance such a huge amount of energy and break the seal because of the sharing of Xia Yu's soul.

Xia Yu didn't know if Guifeng was deceiving himself or not.

He just stood there, looking at Guifeng, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long time, Xia Yu said slowly, "Guifeng, you told me this...why?"

It was a past that belonged only to ghosts and phoenixes, a past thousands of years ago that had been buried by countless histories.

But Guifeng told him that he was just the body of the first life without any concealment.

"Of course I want you to help." The man in red suddenly returned to his previous appearance, the sadness in his eyes had been hidden a little, he had his hands on his waist, and although he said he wanted to help, his expression was It looked like he couldn't refuse, "I want to go back to the Netherworld."

Back to the nether world.

The purpose is already obvious.

Although Guifeng didn't say it clearly, Xia Yu knew what the other party meant very well.The only way from the Nether Realm to the Twelve Dimensions is the Naihe Bridge, and there is only one way from the Twelve Dimensions to the Nether Realm.

The extinction of the guardian of the Xialan Xunde family in the era.

(twelve)

When Xia Yu returned home, the night had already covered the entire sky, and the dots of lights were especially bright in the dark night.

He walked into Xia Mansion, Xia Mei and Xia Mei were watching TV in the living room, brother Xiong was clearing the dining table, apparently after dinner.

As early as when the ghost and phoenix spirit body woke up, Xia Yu called to order takeaway, and by the way told brother Xiong that he might not come back for dinner.

He patted the shoulder of Xia Tian who was sitting on the sofa.

"Brother?" Xia Tian turned to look at him.

"Xiamen, can you come up for a while? I have something to ask you."

The person sitting on the sofa eating potato chips nodded quickly, put down the potato chips and stood up.Xia Yu watched his younger brother's hasty movements, smiled unconsciously, and then took Xia Tian back to his room.

"Brother, are you going to court today?" As soon as Xia Yu entered the door, before Xia Yu could speak in the future, the people behind him couldn't wait to ask his own question.

Xia Yu froze for a moment.

"How did you know?"

"Oh, when you went out today, you put the court hearing notice on the desk, so I saw it, sorry." Xia Tian said, scratching his head, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Xia Yu didn't care about his younger brother's behavior at all, "You still volunteered to help me clean the room?"

Xia Tian did not speak, just smiled.Then he said: "So brother, you are really going to be a lawyer? Then can I go and see next time?"

"What are you looking at, it's boring."

"It's not boring, it's not boring, I just want to see how your lawsuit looks like, brother."

"No, you still have class that day. Let me tell you something first."

"What is it?"

"Xiaxia, tonight... can you help Guifeng enter the Extinction with me?" Xia Yu directly explained the purpose without any delay.

But the person who was requested froze there.

"what?"

But he didn't explain, "Xiamen, do you believe me?"

The person in front of him nodded.

"Then you can help me."

The person in front of him nodded again.

Xia Yu looked directly into Xia Tian's eyes, "Ghost Phoenix needs to go back to the Netherworld... to find Ghost Dragon, but Mie will only drive for 5 minutes without external force, you know that too."

"Ghost Phoenix, go find Ghost Dragon?" Xia Tian recited this sentence, as if he had thought of something.

"But Mie is just a passage leading to the Netherworld. If Guifeng only enters Mie for 5 minutes, it is not enough to reach the exit of the passage, so—" Xia Yu pointed to himself, and then pointed to Xia Tian, ​​"We need to use special abilities , and keep the entrance of Mie open for a longer time.”

"Okay. But brother, why did Guifeng go to Guilong?"

Dragon, Phoenix.Reading these two words silently, even without asking, Xia Tian can almost guess the reason why the ghost phoenix is ​​looking for the ghost dragon.

But he still wanted to know, he wanted to know what kind of story had happened to these two people who had the same appearance as him and Xia Yu, and shared the same body.

"Ghost Phoenix has been waiting for Ghost Dragon for hundreds of years." Xia Yu said slowly.

"From the birth of the ghost dragon to the awakening of the ghost phoenix, there have been several hundred years. It has been several hundred years since the ghost dragon left - if you want to hear, I can tell you slowly." That treacherous but shocking dream, he wanted Xia Tian to know.He thought, he wanted Xia Tian to know how the ghost dragon and the ghost phoenix were accompanying each other.

Xia Tian looked into Xia Yu's eyes and suddenly smiled.

"I'll listen to their affairs later. Brother, when will it start?"

"Well... when everyone is asleep. You remember to put a layer of soundproof and image-proof protective magnetic field around you."

"Ok!"

In the middle of the night, Xia Tian and Xia Yu opened the entrance of Mie, and set up a camouflage barrier in the room.The ghost phoenix's spirit body gradually separated from Xia Yu's body, and bursts of cold air and dark supernatural aura emanated from the bottomless intersection, but the ghost phoenix standing at the entrance of Mie was not affected at all.

Xia Yu and Xia Tian stood behind Gui Feng, watching him leave.

Gui Feng suddenly turned his head.

"Xia Yu," he said, "that guy and I have subconsciously accumulated energy in every life, in order to break through the seal that we didn't know at the time. And he came more than 200 years earlier than me, and accumulated energy more than 200 years faster than me Hundreds of years ago, I felt that an existence similar to mine was almost able to break through the seal and leave his host. I think it was him. Now I clearly remember that he was sealed for some reason at that time Go back. So we missed the first reunion."

"And more than twenty years ago, when I was born with enough energy, I was washed away with a lot of energy and sealed in your body, but he awakened, although he didn't unlock the seal of memory. So We missed the second reunion."

"Now, I woke up and picked up everything from the past, but he was gone. So we missed the third reunion."

He was clearly talking about the pain that belonged to him, but he smiled at Xia Yu and Xia Tian as he spoke, "And now, I don't know where he is, but I don't want to miss him, I want to go back to Huangquan River and wait." So, thank you for giving me another chance to go back and wait for him."

After saying that, before Xia Yu could say goodbye to the king of the underworld who had been in his body for more than 20 years, the red figure resolutely jumped into the endless blackness.

"Goodbye." He said softly to Mie.

Xia Tian maintained the output of the ability index, and kept the opening of the extinction.Xia Yu covered the surrounding fluctuations, looked at the entrance of Mie, and seemed to be still watching Guifeng's back.

He suddenly remembered the ghost dragons that occasionally appeared in the past twenty years.

If the ghost dragon really broke through the shackles of the deepest memory because of the energy of the magnet of the underworld, the ghost king who would rather bring the mirror of in vain to the world through the bridge of Naihe for the sake of the ghost and phoenix does not know what he wants to protect The people in the world have already come to the world, maybe the ghost dragon has already returned to the Netherworld.

Perhaps this king was born on the ancient battlefield where the strong fell, conquered the entire nether world, and came to the world, but in the end he never even thought of his most glorious life, and the majestic king fell to such a ridiculous thing that absorbed too much energy. On the grounds.

Regardless of the outcome, the man in red returned to the Netherworld, looking for the person he believed to still exist in this world.

Staying with that person again in the Netherworld, or standing on the bank of the Huangquan River and looking at the Naihe Bridge that washes everything away, is the ending that the ghost and the phoenix should have.

The time had already reached Guifeng's requirement, Xia Tian quickly withdrew his combat power index, the entrance of Mie was closed quickly, and everything returned to calm.

The night was dark.

Xia Yu looked at the tightly closed refrigerator, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

Regardless of Guifeng's ending, he can only guard the family he wants to protect in Tie Shikong, make a wish for that person in his heart to meet and stay together, and write a beautiful and warm story in his mind. ending.

That's enough.

---------------Fin---------------

Extra

The rain slapped the umbrellas held by pedestrians mercilessly, and the puddles on the ground were always stepped on by people inadvertently, splashing a piece of mud.

Xia Yu stood at the door of the court and glanced at his watch with some concern.

It was almost time for dinner, but without an umbrella, he could only stand at the gate of the court to shelter from the rain.

Xia Yu looked at the rain, which was not too small, and was a little annoyed that he had rejected the client's invitation when he walked out of the court.

"Brother!" A familiar voice came from outside the door.

Xia Yu looked up, Xia Tian walked towards him quickly holding an umbrella, the water splash had already soaked his trousers.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come?" Xia Yu was a little surprised.

"I've already left school. I just saw that it's raining and you haven't come back yet, so I wanted to ask if my brother didn't bring an umbrella, so I came over to have a look." Xia Tian said, covering the heads of the two of them with the umbrella, "Brother ,let's go."

As he spoke, he wanted to go out.

Xia Yu didn't intend to leave.He looked at Xia Tian with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother?" Xia Tian was a little confused.

There was still a smile in Xia Yu's eyes, he shook his head at Xia Tian, ​​"It's nothing, let's go."

Then he got up and walked forward.

Xia Tian hurriedly followed, and the umbrella once again blocked the tops of their heads.

In the rain curtain, umbrellas of various colors covered the bodies of the elder brother and the younger brother. They walked forward side by side, as if they were still talking about something.

In the ordinary years, companionship is not a vigorous game life, nor is it a so-called love story with twists and turns, as long as he stands aside to hide from the rain in the rainy background and watches him walking with an umbrella.

Just this moment is enough for a lifetime of happiness.
