Under the same starry sky.
Far away in the Medicine King's Palace to the north of the North Sky Star Territory on this continent, there were also two young figures sitting together on the steps outside a very old wing.
They looked up at the stars quietly.
One of the little boys stretched out his thin arms and gently hugged the little girls next to him. The two were similar in age, about six or seven years old.
Although the little boy is thin, his eyes are bright.
He looked up at the stars in the night sky, which seemed to blink like countless pairs of bright eyes, and whispered to the little girl next to him.
"Xiaomeng, do you think there is someone in the sky? I feel like a pair of eyes are always looking at me."
"Human? Why are people in the sky?" The little girl stared at the boy with doubtful eyes.
"Yes, why are people in heaven? It seems that my mother's statement that she will be watching us from heaven is not true."
The little boy's eyes were full of loss and frustration.
However, they had no idea what was about to happen would plunge them into despair...
The little boy was originally the youngest son of Yu Wenhai, the lord of the Northern Star Territory, and his name was Yu Wenyan.
A year ago, during the test of awakening the life soul of the disciples of the Beitian Star Territory, Yu Wenyan was found to be unable to awaken the life soul.
Of course you can’t practice!
This is absolutely unacceptable to Yu Wenhai, who attaches great importance to the talents of his children. He has always regarded children with great potential as treasures, while leaving Yu Wenyan alone.
It just happened that at that time, there was a fight between the two major forces of the Beitian Star Territory and the Arctic Medicine Palace. After the conflict was mediated, in order to stabilize the situation, each side sent their direct descendants to the other's palace to serve as hostages.
Therefore, Yu Wenyan, who had just turned six years old, was sent here.
Yu Wenyan's mother begged Yu Wenhai, but to no avail. Before leaving, she hugged Yu Wenyan and cried and told him that she would always watch from the sky and told him not to be afraid alone.
In this way, Yu Wenyan came to the Arctic Medicine Palace.
The little girl next to him was the little girl who was asked by his mother to stay with Yu Wenyan before leaving.
The little girl's name is Xuan Meng. She was very timid when she first came here. She would often hide in her room and cry secretly because the gang in Yaowang Palace were mean to her.
Later, I stayed with Yu Wenyan for a long time, and with his care, I slowly adapted to life in Yaowang Palace.
During the more than a year that Yu Wenyan was in the Medicine King Palace, he often went to their Pharmacopoeia Pavilion.
It's strange to say that Yu Wenyan has been curiously aware that he has a photographic memory since he can remember.
Moreover, sometimes he will see some weird scenes, especially when he is concentrating or when he is highly nervous, he will find that the movement of everyone and things around him has become slower, of course it is only slower. A little bit.
However, this special ability did not allow him to practice, so he was sent here anyway.
However, in just one year here, Yu Wenyan memorized all the classics on alchemy and medicine in the Pharmacopoeia of Yaowang Palace.
Although he has not yet been able to refine the elixir himself, he has completely remembered all the refining methods, as well as the refining experience and techniques of some senior alchemy masters.
If the senior officials of Yaowang Palace knew about the existence of such a person, they would never allow him to freely enter and leave the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion.
However, it all happened within the span of a year.
Yu Wenyan and Xuan Meng are currently staying in the "cell" set up for them by Yaowang Palace, which is the old and dilapidated wing behind them.
The reason for this is that not long ago, Yuwenhai from the Northern Star Territory started a war against Yaowang Palace again.
Yu Wenhai seems to have forgotten that he also has a son who is a hostage in Yaowang Palace.
He was invincible along the way, killing everyone in all directions, and the Yaowang Palace was unable to fight back. In less than a month, he occupied one-third of the land within the Yaowang Palace's sphere of influence.
The senior officials of Yaowang Palace were furious and decided to unite all the major forces on the mainland who wanted Yaowang Palace to fight back.
At the same time, they did not forget that before launching a full-scale counterattack, they had to sacrifice Yuwenyan, the son of Yuwenhai in the Northern Star Region, with the flag.
Yuwenyan has been locked up here for three days...
"Xiaomeng, are you hungry?"
Yu Wenyan asked with concern, looking at Xuan Meng who was shivering close to him.
It has been three days and no one has brought food. It seems that they will starve to death first.
"You're not hungry, Brother Yan, are you hungry? I have half a pancake here for you to eat." As he said this, Xuanmeng actually took out half a shriveled pancake from his arms.
Yu Wenyan's eyes lit up.
He remembered that this was their meal three days ago. He and Xuan Meng each got a piece of cake. Unexpectedly, Xuan Meng only ate half of it, and what he took out now was the remaining half.
Yu Wenyan was indeed extremely hungry. He took half of the cake from Xuan Meng's hand and carefully broke it into two halves, giving half to Xuan Meng and half to himself.
But when they were just about to eat the cake, a group of people came outside the door, they were the guards of Yaowang Palace.
They grabbed Yu Wenyan without any explanation and walked out the door. Xuan Meng, who stayed where he was, was so frightened that his face turned pale, and the small half of the cake in his hand fell to the ground.
Yu Wenyan was carried towards the back mountain by the guards. He didn't know what these people were going to do, but seeing such a posture, he was terrified in his heart.
"Alas, this boy has a hard life. He was sent as a hostage, but I didn't care about him!" One of the guards said with a hint of regret.
Another guard also sighed.
"It's just a child, alas!"
At this time, the leading guard turned around and ordered them.
"Hurry! Throw this kid into the cave."
"yes!"
The two guards immediately replied.
Later, Yu Wenyan was taken into a dark, damp and gloomy cave by the two guards.
After leaving him behind, the two guards quickly left.
Lying on the ground, Yu Wenyan felt only the howling wind in the cave, which made his hair stand on end. He ran desperately towards the entrance of the cave, trying to escape, but he only heard the voice of the chief guard outside the cave.
"Put it down!"
Then there was a deafening crash, like the sound of tens of millions of pounds of boulders falling to the ground.
After a while, he heard no more noise.
When he touched the entrance of the cave, he found that the door had been sealed by a huge stone wall and he could not get out.
Panicked, Yu Wenyan looked around for an exit, but the entrance to the cave was only a few feet wide. He groped back and forth many times to check, and was finally convinced that there was really no way out.
At this time, a strong fear gradually arose in his heart.
He had never been locked up alone in such a dark and gloomy place. Even during the three days of being imprisoned, he could still stay with Xuan Meng, so that at least he could still feel a trace of warmth.
However, at this time, all he had in his heart was endless loneliness and fear.
He slowly squatted down his young body, curled up into a ball, and sobbed helplessly, his thin face already soaked with tears.
Just then, a light appeared in the darkness!
Yes, it was really a light, a faint light.
Originally, light had no shape, but in this dark and dim cave, this light actually condensed into a shape. It looked like a person, gradually getting bigger and bigger, and finally formed a light and shadow about the size of a human being.
Suddenly there was light in the cave. The light penetrated from between Yu Wenyan's arms and shone on his thin and miserable face. He noticed something strange in the cave. He slowly raised his head and found that there was a life-size figure in front of him. The light and shadow slowly condensed into a bright solid human form!
It's a woman! A very familiar face, this beautiful cheek often appeared in his dreams.
Because this beautiful face belongs to my mother!
