Eighteen years ago.
Near the Yellow River, at Xuanyuan Hill.
In the sky, the Big Dipper is surrounded by electric light, the clouds are colorful, and hundreds of birds are flying.
In Xuanyuan Palace and Chaori Palace, everyone was busy.
Under the dim oil lamp, a beautiful woman was lying on the bed.
Tearing pain spread throughout her body, sweat dripped from her forehead, and she tried her best.
Wow! A cry.
An old woman held a baby in her arms and lowered her head and said, "My dear, it's a boy."
The beautiful woman was exhausted, nodded, and smiled happily.
A young maid came forward, brought a basin of hot water and wiped the woman, "My Lady, please rest first."
The old woman carried the baby into a bamboo basket bed.
It was February 2nd, and the spring thunder was rolling.
The old woman turned her back to the bamboo basket bed to pick up something.
A bolt of lightning illuminated the entire Xuanyuan Palace.
She turned back and looked at the bamboo basket bed, and was suddenly startled.
She trembled and said, "W-why is there an extra baby here!"
Outside the window of Asahi Palace.
A woman said with tears: "My child, you must live."
A man held the woman's shoulders, his eyes wet, and said: "Bing'er, stop talking."
The woman looked pale and shook her head. She knew that her life had come to an end. She whispered: "I have no regrets. Meeting you is the happiest thing in my life."
The man was holding the woman, his hands were soaked in blood, and his heart was torn.
The woman's eyes were blurred and her voice was weak as she said, "Bai Ling, you are not from this world, are you?"
After she asked, she quickly shook her head and said with a wry smile: "You never talk about your affairs, and you never tell me why we do this."
The man burst into tears and said repeatedly: "Bing'er, I'm sorry, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"
The woman smiled softly and said, "Fool, how could I blame you? It's just..."
She was unable to say anything further and coughed several times in succession. Blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth and her eyes slowly closed.
The man knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. He just wanted to complete a task, but he didn't know why he was in so much pain.
If it weren't for the true feelings, why would it be so painful?
There was a sound of footsteps, and then someone yelled: "Who is that!"
The man looked back and saw a group of guards arriving. Without saying a word, he waved his hand and disappeared into the darkness together with the dead woman.
Under the sky, the thin spring rain was silent, and the occasional thunder sounded dull.
In the Asahi Palace, two babies with rosy faces were lying side by side, sleeping soundly for a long time.
A baby wears a jade pendant around his neck. The jade pendant looks like breathing in the dark night. It flickers on and off for a while, then exudes a faint green light.
Late at night has arrived, not far away, in the Chenxing Palace.
A man walked back and forth.
A woman next to him said: "Shaodian, this child sent from heaven is either a fairy or a devil, so you cannot keep him."
The man thought for a moment and said: "Both immortals and demons are gifts from God. The well-being of our people still needs God's blessing, which is irreversible."
The woman continued: "But my sister is frail and may not be able to raise two children."
The man nodded and said, "Go to Xingshou Village to pick up your sister."
The woman frowned slightly and was about to say something. She saw the man walking to the window and looking out the window.
There seemed to be a ghost ax in the sky, splitting the dense clouds from it, and bursts of lightning loomed in the layers of dark clouds on both sides.
The stars of the Milky Way can be glimpsed from it. After several meteors flash past, the dark clouds on both sides merge into one.
Sunset and moonrise, in the eyes of the world, this is just an unchanging order, a monotonous and endless cycle, with no contradictions, no goals, and no future.
The moonlight was left blank in the shadow of the mountain, and no one was in the mood to linger in unnecessary sadness. They carefully hid their destiny and kept moving forward, even if they were disappointed and collapsed.
Peng You continued to walk westward with the team of Xirong magicians, like a boat drifting with the current.
He was full of questions, why did the girl go to Xuanyuan Palace? What is the secret of your life experience? How to get rid of these murderous demons?
While Peng You was thinking about it, Shrewd Fox ran up to Zuo Tu and cupped his hands and said: "Master Zuo Tu, please forgive me. No one could have thought that waste people could attack. If they were massacred at Yunzhong Pass, I'm afraid this would not be the result. .”
Zuo Tu said with hesitant eyes: "How dare you ask me about my sin!" He said as he was about to sacrifice the magic knife.
The cunning fox said hurriedly: "Don't dare, sir, please calm down. The land to the west can still be occupied by the sir."
He looked sideways at Peng You and said, "But why don't you give this jade pendant boy to us so that we can go back and do business."
Zuo Tu sneered: "If you want to take it, just take it yourself."
The cunning fox looked at Peng You. Peng You looked at him with an angry look, and the dagger in his hand was about to fly out at any moment.
Jiao Hu quickly waved his hand and said, "Sir, you are joking. Since Master Zuo Tu likes this boy, he should naturally belong to you."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Peng You seemed to regard himself as a commodity that could be traded, and felt sullen in his heart.
The cunning fox was at a loss and said: "Moving forward, our team will go south back to Jiuli. I wonder if you want to go west back to Xirong, or go south with us, so that Chief Chi You can have a look at your style."
Zuo Tu said indifferently: "If the land of the Southern Barbarians is filled with despicable people like you, it would be better not to go there."
Shy Fox was scolded, and felt resentful in his heart. He just cupped his hands and said, "I'll see you later, Mr. Zuo Tu. I hope to see you on the battlefield again in the future."
Zuo Tu snorted coldly and said, "I won't send it away."
The cunning fox left angrily, and the owl wolf saw him return disappointed and said nothing, leaving the jackal with its broken arm feeling sorry for itself.
The cunning fox suddenly thought of something and said, "That's not right. This young man wearing a jade pendant was hit by our poisonous arrow. There is no antidote. He is supposed to have died from the poison."
Xiaolang said: "He has the ambergris sachet around his waist, which is naturally invulnerable to all poisons."
The cunning fox said strangely: "This young man is not an immortal master of Dongyi. I can't figure out why the sachet is in his hand. There are too many strange things about him."
Xiaolang suddenly said: "This young man can protect against poison, but these magicians may not be able to protect against our poison."
The cunning fox said: "What do you think, sir? But the magician of Xirong is also a master of poison. Will he be found out?"
Owl Wolf said: "I can feel two vipers nearby."
Shrewd Fox asked curiously: "But why don't we see the two spies following Princess Butterfly?"
The owl wolf said: "I don't know who did it. I don't care for the moment. I will call the two snakes to control the left figure. The rest will be easy to explain."
The cunning fox said: "Exactly!"
The two teams of Jiuli Crossbowmen and Xirong Magicians were at the crossroads of Yunzhong Pass, heading south and west respectively.
Zuo Tu said to Peng You: "Your martial arts are quite good. Who is your master?"
Peng You heard that Zuo Tu's tone was much gentler and answered truthfully: "Li Mu is my martial arts mentor, and Dahong is my literary mentor."
Zuo Tu nodded slightly: "Chinese Archery God Li Mu, military strategist Da Hong, they are actually your masters, but with your talent, if it is not taught by them, it will be a waste."
Peng You looked at Zuo Tu, who was in his early forties, dressed in black robes, and had the air of an immortal, and felt both close and alienated.
Seeing that he was silent, Zuo Tu seemed to be afraid of himself, and said: "I will not let anyone hurt you before confirming your identity. This time we attack Yunzhong Pass with Jiuli. This is the intention of our chief. "
Peng You listened attentively when Zuo Tu explained the purpose of his trip to him.
Zuo Tu continued: "I am just following orders, but Jiuli is insidious and it is impossible to send troops with them again." He continued: "It is my division's order to find you, but I am lucky to find you."
Peng You said coldly: "It's a pity that my relatives and friends are not so lucky to meet murderous demons like you!" As he spoke, he raised the dagger slightly in one hand and made a fist with the other hand.
