The moonlight was warm and cool, and I climbed lazily through Fengming Mountain, and then rested in the house at the foot of the mountain.
The house faces north and is built in a very square shape. The front hall is a very wide courtyard, but it is empty and has no buildings. There is only a tall main house slightly to the north, with east and west wing rooms on both sides.
In a certain wing, a young man who was exhausted from training was once again carried into the room while he was sleeping soundly. The two girls, Mistress 3 and Mistress 5, carefully took off the boy's sweaty clothes and pants, gently put his body into a sleeping position, and finally tucked him in carefully, and then gently withdrew. go out.
Today is the full moon and it will be midnight soon...
At this time, the white hairband on the boy's head suddenly moved, and the knot untied itself. The whole hairband coiled and stretched in the boy's hair like running water, and then stretched hard towards the full moon in the sky, as if it had stretched out greatly. Lazy, in the quiet night, a very slight but very beautiful girl's voice came out:
"Heh...ah...the Sandman retreats..."
One end of the hairband stood up slowly, still a little sleepy. If you look closely, you can see that it has changed into an unknown race.
I saw that her body was covered with thin green scales, and there were two delicate sharp horns on the top of her head. Her four paws were carefully curled up, and her sharp nails had already been retracted into the soft flesh pads. That strange-looking little head On the bed, a pair of big eyes were looking at the sleeping boy without blinking. Her eyes, which were rippling like water waves, contained pity and attachment that seemed to melt mountains and seas. Then she gently knelt beside the boy's pillow again. , breathing the young man's breath intoxicatedly.
...We haven’t seen each other for another month...Yu...are you okay?
The wind playfully blew open the curtain, and more moonlight illuminated the wing, as well as the hairband and the boy. The original two tassels had now turned into two slender whiskers, but they were blown in by the breeze. into the boy's ears. The sleeping boy unconsciously stretched out her hand and rubbed it a few times. The two thin whiskers were rubbed several times, and the entire hair tie was twisted into a spiral shape, but she endured it. He overcame his dizziness and did not make a single sound.
The young man turned over and continued to sleep. Then she carefully flew away and swam in the moonlight that filled the room. The fine scales on her body opened and closed as if they were swallowing the moonlight. Gradually, her whole body glowed. Colors like the bright moon…
She floated like this for a while, and then she couldn't wait to fly back to the boy's bedside. The moonlight she had absorbed just now dispersed from under her scales, and the entire hairband began to become bright and clear.
At the same time, her body continued to change, and after a long time, a slim girl appeared.
She climbed onto the bed gently and slowly pressed herself against the boy's body from behind. Her snow-like jade arms tentatively stretched out from the space under the boy's neck, and gently hugged the boy.
The boy slept like a baby. She needed to constantly make slight adjustments in order to follow the ups and downs of the boy's chest without being noticed by him. She maintained a laborious and weird posture like this, breathing together with him...
For this hairband girl, every moment she spends with the boy is the most precious treasure in her heart!
She cherishes the little snuggle time she only gets every full moon now!
Even if this forced transformation brought her constant and severe pain, even if he has forgotten his existence now, even if he remembers her, she is just a spiritual creature that he raised with his hard work - that hair Just bring it...
Soon, after more than ten seconds, the energy in the moonlight was exhausted, a faint light flashed, and she turned into that hairband again, with only her head still barely able to maintain its original shape.
"It's getting late, it's time to go see my mother-in-law..." She reluctantly left the room and floated towards her mother-in-law's house. Her speed was not fast, and even the slightest breeze could make her sway, which was very laborious.
Her mother-in-law had been waiting for her in the room for quite some time. When she saw her floating over, she quickly stretched out her hand and a soft wind element enveloped her and hovered in front of her.
"Aileen, if your body is so weak, don't force yourself to transform!"
The mother-in-law said with great pity:
"You have only been ill for a few years. You are lucky to have survived. Now you have lost the most important source of strength. Even the Canglong clan, the strongest among the dragon clan, will have a hard time growing back in their lifetime..."
…Eileen! It turns out she is Aileen! Aileen who gave her most important things without hesitation!
One end of the hair tie shook vigorously, and the cute movements revealed unparalleled determination.
"No, mother-in-law, don't worry about me!"
Erin will always remember how weak she once was. When she was still a dragon egg, she could barely hear her heartbeat. She had no choice but to be broken open by her father, the leader of the Canglong Clan, to take out the eggshell. from!
She was supposed to be the most favored princess of the Canglong clan, living a carefree life, but after her birth, the clansmen tried almost all their efforts and tried all methods, but they couldn't make her grow. She can hardly do basic survival...
If she continues to be weak like this, the only fate waiting for her is death!
Just when she was dying and her consciousness was about to disappear, she was sent to the boy's side!
For the first time in her life, she felt the warmth of life! Only after a long time did she realize that it was the young man's gurgling hard work, which was absorbed by her starved body, making up for her lack of vitality bit by bit...
In the thousands of days and nights since then, the boy did not know how much precious blood he had fed her, and she did not know how many times she had felt the holiness in the boy's blood. No, it was more than just holiness! So clear, so bright, and so pure kindness seemed to illuminate the whole world, and also illuminated the bottom of her heart...
...Although in the boy's memory, she was just the spiritual object she cultivated for the first time in her cultivation career, just the white hair ribbon...
But during the time she spent with the boy, she savored and was moved by his daily joy, daily loneliness, daily sweat and growth. Even on that extremely dark night, she was always there. Stay with the boy and never leave him for a moment!
To her, the boy was definitely not just the owner of the spiritual creature, nor just the benefactor who saved her life, but a treasure that transcended words, transcended love, and was more important than anything else!
For this boy, she would be fine in any way, as long as he could be safe...
But, when will he feel his presence again? When can I summon her, that spiritual creature named "Lin"...
Only in that way could she appear beside him naturally without being implicated in that dark memory!
By the way, I wonder if my mother-in-law discovered anything about the book collection last month...
Thinking of this, she asked anxiously:
"Mother-in-law, did you find anything useful in those books last month? He...has he gotten better recently..."
When the mother-in-law heard this, she was speechless. After a period of suppressed silence, she helplessly replied:
"Aileen, you are a good boy... If it hadn't been for that incident, you might have already made that contract with him. In this case, girls from other families can be freed from this ancient restraint as soon as possible... "
"It still doesn't work?"
Aileen didn't care at all about what her mother-in-law said later, she was just asking anxiously...
"...I have read all the methods in the book, and I have tried all the methods that I can try. His familiar environment, familiar tools...the whole mansion is the same as when he was a child, even the Heather family's I have reconstructed the little girl and the path he took secretly to climb Fengming Mountain... I watched him grow up. This child is as clean as a piece of white paper. He is never on guard against the people close to him and does not hide anything strange. But I, what he dreamed about, completely closed himself off, completely closed off the little memory left after that night... What happened that night was really too cruel to him..."
You know, memory closure is a problem that even the powerful in the altar are helpless to solve! If the young man hadn't subconsciously closed that memory on his own initiative, perhaps the unbearable and unimaginable pain that others would endure would have already driven him crazy!
In comparison, the result of memory closure is good enough, at least there is hope of recovery...
However, it wasn't just that memory that he sealed off. Everything related to it was selectively forgotten, and even the closest relatives around him had no memory at all!
I want the young man to uncover the scar bit by bit and slowly accept the fact as time goes by, and I can't tell him directly!
——If you recall too much at once, the collections of books from major families have warned you more than once that just having a mental breakdown and going crazy can be said to be the best outcome...
As for those more tragic endings, just the few words mentioned in the book will make people shudder!
Therefore, the mother-in-law and the others maintained an ordinary life in front of the boy, and they did not dare to mention those key things in their words, for fear of arousing any bad reactions!
They can only try some subtle methods, hoping that one day, the young man can truly enter his dream, truly find himself, and then accept himself...
God knows how exhausted they have been over the past two years!
"But...but there are only three months left before the three-year agreement!"
Erin buried her head sadly and sobbed uncontrollably...
time!
The time that a young man should not be lacking has been capped by a certain agreement for some reason!
…Three years! Three short years! Only three years...
The mother-in-law hugged Eileen to her chest with trembling hands, her throat seemed to be filled with dead leaves. It took a long time before she came out with a dry and hoarse voice:
“The dragon leaps over the abyss, how can heaven imprison it?
"The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind can't destroy them..."
My mother-in-law seemed to have returned to that night again and heard the crazy sneers of those dark beings!
She also glared at the night sky like this, even though she was already the altar of the Seven Stars! One of the most powerful people in the human race, but still powerless...
A monstrous momentum suddenly emerged from the body of the mother-in-law, which immediately woke up Eileen, stirred up several auras in the corners of the mansion, and also inspired countless secret magic circles in the area of Jialuo City State.
However, this kind of stressful incident of the magic circle is just like the monthly theft of books, and it is destined to remain hidden in the eyes of most people.
Ailin shook her head vigorously and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Mother-in-law, please help me activate the teleportation array. Today's targets are only two mid-level families, there is nothing dangerous."
"Child, don't look for those ancient books anymore. The libraries of the seven major families must have been combed through last spring... You don't have much time to wake up every month, so stay with him. You don't like to be around him the most. Of?"
Ailin shook her head. After regaining some strength, she reappeared as a dragon and began to call her guards.
The guards of Princess Canglong are all strong enough to stand alone! But he hides in this house all day long, waiting for her monthly call.
"Mother-in-law, Grandpa Su Yuan is still watching from the sky. As long as there is still a little hope, I will never give up!"
The mother-in-law is helpless, but Ai Lin's character is as stubborn as a teenager! She had no choice but to whisper a lengthy incantation, apply her most powerful protective spells layer by layer on Eileen, and sighed softly:
"Child, why are you doing this..."
Ailin stood in the teleportation formation and smiled brightly when she heard this:
"But this is the only thing I can do..."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
At the foot of Fengming Mountain, in the backyard of the mansion, Yu had just finished today's training and had just released the weight-bearing halo. He was so tired that he didn't even want to move a little finger. He had to lean against the machine and try to regain some strength. Night, already Very deep.
...At least I have to walk back to my room by myself...
Yu blamed herself very much - Xiaosan and Xiaowu must still be awake, waiting for him till late every day!
He is the only boy in the family, he cannot be so willful! Training or something is not the reason at all!
Thinking of the clothes and pants neatly folded on the bedside every morning with incense, Yu blushed very much.
...It’s really strange. I make up my mind to walk back to my room before training every day, but I forget about it unknowingly during training. It has no effect at all, but I feel relieved naturally. Is this the feeling of home? ?
So sleepy... No, I can't sleep...
He supported the floor and tried hard to stand up, but he really had no strength at all. Every muscle was in extreme fatigue, and his eyelids could hardly open.
In the haze, he vaguely felt his body being gently carried into the room again, and his clothes and pants were gently taken off again. The shame and guilt that surged into his heart were submerged in the tide of sleep and disappeared. without a trace...
...Xiaosan...Xiaowu...Thank you so much for your hard work...
Not sure whether her feelings were conveyed, Yu murmured in her consciousness and fell into sleep.
The dream came as expected, and the boy once again came to the sea of fragments in the sky.
Before he had time to calm down, several fragments seemed to be alive and flew toward him, pulling him into the scene in the next second.
This seems to be the first time such a thing has happened, but this may be a good thing for Yu, who has always been confused in the dream space.
——After all, he also has his own guesses about those fragments, but he has never been able to confirm them.
If the dust in these seas of light is all pain, maybe it is better to forget it. Although I am not sure what I have lost, I already have enough in this world, right?
This should also be the choice of the so-called "self" deep down in the heart - in essence, the young man is a guy who believes in following his own heart, and is so simple that he is frightening.
But this time the scene was very strange!
The young man could only see an unknown magic circle of less than one square meter, surrounding the owner of the scene in the center of the magic circle. However, the outside of the magic circle was blurry and nothing could be seen clearly.
This magic circle is a standard six-pointed star skeleton, and the gaps are filled with very advanced patterns. With his current knowledge of magic circles, he can't understand the meaning of the patterns at all.
Generally speaking, no matter how complex the formation is, it is composed of hundreds of basic runes that cannot be further divided. Even if you cannot understand the principle of the formation, you can at least identify the basic runes. Then we can deduce the purpose of the pattern arrangement.
——This is common sense in magic circle learning. I dare not say anything else. In the young man’s magic circle theory class, there was not a single incident of distraction.
However, what is even more strange is that even though he clearly does not understand the meaning of the formation patterns, every direction of the heaven and earth energy flowing into the formations in the formation patterns is clearly and completely controlled by him!
It was as if every bit of flow of each elemental force had a different form, and he could see it with his own eyes...
At this moment, the elemental force in the array has filled all the formation patterns, inspiring a spiral elemental force field that completely surrounds the owner of the scene.
The concentration of Yuanli in the formation was also increasing rapidly, and finally maintained at a level that was many times higher than that in ordinary space!
This unknown formation is somewhat similar to the spirit gathering formation in elementary magic formation science, but the effect is completely different.
The owner of the scene did not pay any attention to such a magnificent and magical array. All his attention was on the small ball of something carefully held in his hand.
This unknown object is currently in the center of the Yuan force field. Where the Yuan force is the thickest, it only emits a little light, and a small rope-like part can be vaguely discerned inside, which is very weak. Lying down, looking weak.
In the right hand of the owner of the scene, a black iron dagger suddenly appeared, the body of the dagger was as cold as a wash!
Then, without hesitation, he inserted it into the heart!
When the dagger was pulled out, a stream of bright red blood spurted out. There was an invisible force in the formation that pulled them and splashed them on the rope. Not a drop was wasted!
Although there is no sound in this fragmented space, the pain of the dagger piercing the heart and the fatigue of blood loss still make the young man feel a familiar feeling that he has not seen for a long time...
Watered by blood, the rope seemed even hungrier, and all the blood was absorbed in the blink of an eye!
The owner of the scene had to raise the dagger and insert it into his chest again and again. While injecting blood into the rope, he was still trying to seize a little time before being absorbed. He dipped his hands in his blood and drew something on the rope.
Time is short, painting often fails, and the owner of the scene has no choice but to prick the heart more ferociously, in exchange for more blood pouring out...
If it weren't for the unknown formations around him that were rapidly being repaired, anyone who dared to torment his body like this would be seeking death...
Yu was speechless as he experienced it, but something suddenly entered his consciousness, allowing him to understand that what was going on in this unknown magic circle was a ritual.
It’s called “heart-wrenching efforts lead the spirit, borrowing things to hide the interest”!
It seemed that only the rope was changing in the scene. After countless efforts, the rope gradually began to stretch and lengthen. It began to wait spiritually for the painting to be completed before sucking blood. However, the light on the body became more and more intense. Sheng makes it difficult to see the whole rope clearly.
Finally, the owner of the scene stopped moving. He sat upright and put the rope against his chest. The pulsation of his heartbeat and a certain rhythm emitted by the rope slowly got closer. When they finally merged into one, Yu finally listened. The sound appeared in this sea of silent light for the first time in more than two years!
That is the owner of the scene calling gently:
"In the name of Saint, wake up, Lin..."
Just when the name just took shape and appeared, everything suddenly came to a standstill, and then it seemed like a speeding magic train. Countless scenes came suddenly, but rushed like crazy, and finally connected into a vast white...
That kind of heart-rending pain once again swallowed up the bewildered young man!
……it hurts! Head hurts! My body hurts so much! Every hair trembles in pain!
The young man covered his head, just like a withered grass on the frozen soil in the north, trembling in the cold wind all year round...
"Time is up!"
A voice came from the outside, full of joking and malice.
……Time is up? What time has it come? ?
In the bottomless dream space, a fruit-like thing suddenly appeared!
Countless tiny light spots are swarming and crowded on the surface of the fruit, as if there is an invisible suction force holding them tightly inside!
Even if a few light spots struggle out, they are like balloons that have lost their buoyancy, drawing hopeless arcs around the fruit, and then plunge into the fruit again...
It seems like tears, but also like dripping blood...
"Time is up!"
Right in the center of the fruit, dozens of sounds seemed to sound at the same time, and the fruit exploded with the sound!
The sky is full of light spots, millions of light spots! Lonely and sadly, it illuminates the world, and also reveals the black eye in the center of the fruit...
The moment he saw the eyes, the young man froze!
An indescribable horror enveloped him firmly. He couldn't even tremble. He could only watch in vain, watching the eyeball open, watching it scan, watching it differentiate into ten numbers. The black energy invades and smears wantonly in this space...
"How many years! How many years!"
These dozens of black energies are laughing wildly!
When the entire space was occupied, they finally focused on the boy!
"You are ours!"
With this announcement, all the black energy penetrated into the young man's body almost at the same time, pulling him, driving him, like a toy...
He didn't know what he was doing, and couldn't see any external scenes. There were screams and screams from extremely distant places, and severe pain was felt in many parts of the body...
He could only listen silently and endure it silently, curling up into a ball with the millions of light points squeezed around him...
…
After an unknown amount of time, it finally became quiet here.
The black energy disappeared somewhere and seemed to have replaced the entire space!
He tried to open his eyes, but in an instant, his pupils shrank into needles!
He saw an old man with gray beard and hair, stroking the top of his head lovingly...
He saw that his arm was inserted into the old man's chest, and the old man's heart had been crushed into mud by him...
He saw that there were ruins all around him, and an unknown number of people, dead or alive, lay aside...
What he saw reflected in the old man's clear eyes was a young child covered in black energy and roaring ferociously!
With a face very similar to his!
……This is where?
……Where am I?
...My chest is cracked and my heart is broken, but why are you still smiling?
...What a kind smile, the whole body is filled with warm light...
...but...who are you...
Tears flowed uncontrollably from the young man's eyes, dripping on his arms shrouded in black air, but burning in the young man's heart!
The huge hand of sorrow pulled him into the abyss in an instant, and he didn't even have time to let out a whine!
...Pain, it would be nice if you could forget it...
...But if you forget, will it no longer hurt?
In the young man's mind, these two voices were arguing with each other, getting louder and louder, one after another, deafening!
He couldn't bear it anymore and howled in despair...
The mother-in-law came after hearing the sound, and the unusual power fluctuations in the air made her heart sink to the bottom!
When she opened the door, she saw the young man sitting weakly, with tears streaming down his face, staring at her blankly, and asked:
"Mother-in-law...who am I...in the end..."
