Night Tales

Chapter 5 Melting Eyes

The next day, the senior brother came back with a message.The mortal army that entered Yuque was all dead, one of them was dead, and even the crown prince died here.Killed by the sky nucleus!

Chen Yu didn't express anything, just closed his eyes and looked tired.

Mijia didn't know anything about treating illnesses and wounds, so Wu Ruan immediately checked her injuries and bandaged the wounds: "Fortunately, there are no fatal injuries, yo, this little face can be regarded as a wound."

"You took off all my clothes just to see the painted face?"

"Hey, you don't have a good place on your body anymore, who is in the mood to take advantage of you." Wei Yuanji hurriedly covered her with a quilt.

"Is the kid back?"

"No, no one knows where she went."

"Hey, let her go."

"If she didn't enjoy killing enough, what should she do if she went to Mortal Realm?"

"That's out of your control. Well, don't worry about me. It looks like you didn't take care of your injuries."

"I'm relieved when I see that you're fine. Brother still has something to do, so I won't play with you."

"Huh? What can be more important than your junior sister?"

"Hey, what's this..." Wei Yuan didn't say anything, her face was already blushing, "That day, one accidentally drank a little too much and put Qin Li's eldest daughter to sleep. I didn't expect it to be a coincidence. She was actually pregnant. I haven't seen her for a few days, so I don't know what's going on. There must be something to indicate that this is a mess, so..."

"Then why don't you go quickly." Chen Zhu looked at Wei Yuanji with disdain, and urged him to leave quickly, and Wei Yuanji would not delay any longer, prepared some food and medicinal materials for her, and told Mi Jia a few words, Hastily slipped away.

The whole world suddenly became quiet.The people of the mortal world who lost their loved ones cried silently, as if they would be turned into blood mist by the palm of a child who crawled out from nowhere if they were a little louder.

Emperor Wei Mingyou suddenly developed a high fever, his eyes were dull and his whole body was trembling. One million troops disappeared overnight, including his most beloved son.He seemed to see above his head, countless innocent souls crying bitterly and dying, their ears were noisy all day long, and they couldn't get rid of it, and the water and rice wouldn't enter, and they would drive westward within five days.

Yuque has turned into a red hell, and there is no place that is not covered by scattered blood mist. The supporting army has withdrawn here one after another. In just two days, there is no living person on this land, not even birds or animals. Nostalgia again.The place that was originally the most lush and lively in the night environment has become a dead place.But no one talked about it.

Disturbed by the strong smell of blood in the air, Chen Xi couldn't rest at ease to heal his wounds. Although the protective barrier of Shenbi Peak had been broken, its spiritual power was still there, blocking the blood mist spreading around the peak.She barely supported her body and Umega helped her to go out, and saw a dark red as far as she could see, the sky was no longer dark and deep, but was covered with a low red veil.

The scene in front of him made Chen Yu sick, not only physically, but also mentally.It's not that she hasn't experienced war, and even personally provoked domestic chaos overnight.But compared with the destruction of Yuque this time, it was like a stream facing an abyss, and her heart was riddled with holes.She watched helplessly as her home was destroyed and the people went into exile.He watched the soldiers bleed and his bones became barren.Although the war is over, she is even more desperate.She drank harder than ever.I don't dare to think about everything that happened in the past, and I can't see any bright future.This is the night realm, there was no light in the first place, only endless darkness and endless oppression.Once young and frivolous, she fantasized that she was a hero who would change the world.However, the world has changed, and she is just a speck of dust on the vast earth.The surviving dust pays homage to the unfortunate past.She began to doubt and think about whether the way of heaven she was pursuing was correct, what is the way of heaven, and why the existence of the sky core is for redemption or punishment. She began to feel that the world became incomprehensible and everything was meaningless .She sat slumped on a moss-covered stone, drank a jar of wine, and stared at the distant mountains in a daze.

A thin red figure entered her line of sight.Just like her actions that day, she crawled on the ground step by step.She passed by her, but didn't look at her, but climbed like a mountain forest, step by step, although the movement was slow, the speed was extremely fast.

What is the meaning of this child, her existence?Chen Yu stood up and followed behind her.

The child crawled to the place where Wen Gong put her down before, looked around, and crawled towards a stream not far away.She tentatively touched the surface of the water with her little finger, and a trace of red mist instantly fainted in the water.After that, she stretched her whole arm into the water to wash, then moved her little feet, and slowly entered the water, but the stones in the water were too steep for her, and one accidentally fell into the water with a "plop", and the people in the distance "Puff" laughed out loud.Mijia saw Tianhe come back and followed behind Chenhe, her expression was not right recently, the sudden laughter made her think that the man had gone crazy.

The child poked his head out of the water and looked at her blankly.Chen Xi couldn't believe that he was still in the mood to laugh at this time.The child was not annoyed at all, and she also noticed that the child's aura was no longer turbulent, and the resentment and hatred in his eyes were no longer so strong.To kill so many people, it was as if nothing had happened to her, which not only made Chen He feel terrible, but also felt a little relieved, so he took another look at her, turned and left.

After all these twists and turns, the little baby still doesn't let Chen He get close to her, and still stays in her own little world every day, playing with flowers and grass.

Chen Zhi also lives her own life, which has nothing to do with her.He used to like to tease Mijia, but now he seems to have lost interest in female sex.Shenbi Peak was originally a forbidden area, and it was inconvenient for Mi Jia to stay here, so he found a day and left.

She still drinks without incident, sometimes she doesn't say a word, sometimes she sleeps silently, sometimes she screams at the moon, sometimes she plays the piano and sings.

"I plant crimson heart grass, and the ice and snow plant moon bridge; I plant red vine trees, and the crimson shadow is three thousand paths. One grass and one cup of wine, one tree and one drunken man. A thousand cups worship the dust, and the world forgets worries together..."

Whenever she played the piano, the child would sit where she could see and listen quietly.If she leaves, she will run to the piano, stretch out her hand to pluck the strings, and play the tune she just talked about one by one. Although it is slow, the tune is accurate. If she cannot reach the place, she will run to the opposite side Dial it, if it takes two hands to play it, she will put a small stone on one place, and then stretch out her hand to dial another place.After running dozens of laps around the piano, he clapped his hands and stomped his feet happily after playing the last verse.

Another time, Chen Yan put the half-drunk wine jar on the ground, got up and went to the house to get a book out, passing by the window, saw the child walking slowly, looked around, sat on the ground, picked up the wine The altar drank.After taking a sip, he choked out with a "cough cough".She hugged the jar and looked around, picked it up again to drink, took a few sips, put the jar down, stood up, and walked forward unsteadily, the movements were recognizable by the dust, it was clearly a miniature version of herself.

She took a few steps, and seemed to sense something was wrong. She stopped, scratched the back of her head, and walked a few more steps, realizing that her footsteps were steady.She went back, finished all the rest of the wine, walked a few steps while holding the wine jar, and then stopped, scratching her head.In the end, she threw the jar away and walked away steadily.The dust in the house saw this scene, and laughed so hard, this child, it's fine to imitate her in drinking, he is obviously a master who never gets drunk, but he still wants to imitate her to get drunk.

Before I knew it, three years had passed.The little baby who could only crawl and walk can now run all over the ground.Unknowingly, she locked herself in Shenbi Peak for three years without contacting the outside world.But the distance between them didn't get much closer. The children still ran when they saw her, and came as soon as she left, imitating what she had done.However, most of the time, she likes to climb trees and play with flowers and birds.

Chen Xi finally felt that the life was too bleak, which made people panic.On this day, she took a shower, changed her clothes, and took a leisurely walk, intending to meet all the old friends she hadn't seen for a long time.

Yuque has been destroyed, most of the original residents of Yuque moved to Wangjing, and the rest flowed into other places.The newly-appointed Mistress of Yuque Palace, Pianyue Jingfeng, resigned from the post of Mistress and became a general under the command of the King Realm.Pianyue Jingfeng has no children, the original Yuque palace master left behind a daughter, named Pianyue Fuyu, who is almost four years old, and was raised by Pianyue Jingfeng.Chen Hui went back to his hometown, Soul Devourer Villa to have a look, and remembered that there was such a child, so he went to Qianhuang. Everyone was very surprised by Chen Zhu's sudden appearance.

"You have figured it out, and you are willing to come and see us old faces." Pianyue said in shock.

"I'm tired of the wine at Shenbi Peak, so I should change my mind to a different place."

"Is the Magic Brush Peak not affected?"

"On the surface, it doesn't seem to be affected, but the large areas of jade mines under the Tibetan Jade Mountain have turned red."

"Hey, Lan Huang and I are still discussing that we can rebuild the Yuque one day, but now it seems that even the Tibetan Jade Mountain has been polluted, and I'm afraid there is no hope.

"As long as you have the heart, after a few decades, the blood mist will dissipate. Are you afraid that there will be no chance to rebuild?"

"We will all be old in decades, and the younger generation is afraid that there will be no one who is willing to endure hardships and stand hard work. Who can say for sure. I don't know, but do you know that the world is in chaos now." Pianyue said in shock.

"what happened?"

"Millions of troops from the mortal realm collapsed at Yuque, the people mourned everywhere, and after being instigated by someone with a heart, the anger of the people turned from the core of the sky to the imperial court and the heavenly realm. Then capable people and strange people gathered together to resist the imperial court. The West After all, Emperor Qing was thinking of his husband and wife relationship with Emperor Wen back then. Now that his descendants died, he became furious and led the southern demons to take the opportunity to attack Mortal Realm. Compared with Yuque, Mortal Realm now only has a few living people. It’s finally hard for the heavens to sit idly by and start sending out troops. It’s a pity that we have also been severely injured, otherwise we would have to bring the vengeful army to fight over.”

"With the help of the heavens, the mortal realm cannot cause chaos, and the mortal realm is vast and abundant, and it is difficult to empty it out for a while. But the top priority of the tonight realm is to cultivate and rebuild the homeland. Otherwise, no matter how much hatred there is, no strength, it will eventually destroy itself with eggs."

"You're right. I think there are some talents in our night realm. I heard that Mijia, who was imprisoned by Jingnan Lijun for his research on spiritual energy, has now been released. I heard that he is your old lover."

"It can't be called a lover, it's just for fun. And it helped a lot in the war against Mortal Realm. By the way, how is Qingfeng's child?"

Pianyue shook her head in shock: "I'm afraid I won't live long."

"how?"

"Just like her father, she has a bad temper and is aggressive."

"Aren't all Yan people like this?"

"You don't know. As the saying goes, every person who is perfect must have great shortcomings. This child is so talented that it is rare in the world. A four-year-old child can knock down two soldiers with his bare hands. How powerful do you say that is. But he has a bad temper , she would throw a tantrum at the slightest upset, throw pots and bowls at the slightest, get angry and bloody, and vomit blood. They all said that this was the reincarnation of a ghost. All of us let her in so as not to offend her. It was rumored that she would not survive ten years years old, but who knows."

"What about the child?"

"Lan Huang took her out to play."

Just as he was talking, he saw Lan Chun leading a spunky little girl bouncing towards the two of them.

"The little guy is wearing new clothes, but he is happy." Lan Chun said.

Seeing Chen Yu, the little girl thrust one hand towards her waist, pointed at her with the other and said, "Who are you and why did you come to my house?"

"I..." Chen Yu rolled his eyes: "I am your distant relative, your distant ancestor missed you very much, so he asked me to come and see."

"What is a distant ancestor?"

"A distant ancestor is a person who is much, much older than you."

"Is it older than my daddy?"

"That's natural."

"But my father is gone."

"Isn't this kid not bad? He can speak so fluently when he's four years old." Chen Xi praised.

"I want to see your sword." The little guy said.

Chen Yu looked at her waist. It was a sword made of pure jade. The jade was soft and fragile. She spent a whole year polishing and strengthening it. Always remind yourself to hide your killing intent.

"Do you like jade, or do you like swords?"

"Aren't I Jade?"

Chen Xi took off his sword, walked forward, squatted down in front of the child, put the sword on the ground, and asked, "Do you look like it?"

Xiao Fuyu looked at the blade of the sword that was more than twice as tall as her, and shook her head.

"What's not like it?"

"I don't have the same temper."

"Do you like his temper or yours?"

"its."

"Good boy." Chen Yu patted the child's head, but Pianyue Jingfeng and Lan Huang panicked, the child disliked being touched very much, and would throw a temper tantrum if he couldn't handle her well.However, the child looked at Chen He indifferently.Chen Yu turned the sword sideways and handed it to her: "Since you like it, then this sword is for you."

"Really?" Xiao Fuyu asked in surprise, took the sword from her hand, held the hilt, and lifted it steadily.

"No regrets."

"Never regret it."

"You gave me something, so I should give you something too."

"What are you giving me?" Chen Zhu also asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Xiao Fuyu pondered for a while, then asked, "What do you like?"

"I like you."

"I can't give you me, so isn't this sword returned to you?"

"I like you, I like everything you give me."

Xiao Fuyu sent the sword to Chen Shu's arms, and ran away "dendendenden".

"What is she going to do?" Chen Yu asked.

Lan Huang shook his head.After a while, the little guy ran back again, holding a pile of clothes in his hands, looking carefully, it should be a set of children's clothes.

"This is my new dress, I like it very much, I will give it to you."

"Hey, Aunt Chen is so big, how can she still wear your clothes?" Lan Huang joked.

"It's okay, I suddenly remembered that there is a kid who is as tall as you in my family, who runs around with his buttocks naked all day long, and has no clothes on."

"You still have a child at home!" Xiao Fuyu said in surprise, "Wait a little longer, I'll give it to you again." So she stuffed the clothes in her bosom into Chen He's hand again, and ran away in a hurry.

"The kid you mentioned, can't it be the sky core?" Lan Huang asked.

"It's the sky core."

Lan Huang was speechless, but took a slight breath.

"Are you afraid of her too?"

"Look at Yuque's appearance, can you not be afraid?"

"But she didn't do anything to us."

"Hey, I was lucky enough to take a look at that child. He looks like a human being."

"There are so many people who are afraid of her, but not even ants are afraid of her." Tired of squatting, Chen Yu stood up from the ground and let out a long sigh.

"That child can't be killed and can't be killed, and he can't be killed. After all, he has to face it."

While talking, Xiao Fuyu ran back again, this time with a rattle in her hand: "I defeated a big villain, this is a trophy, give it to her. When will you bring her to play?"

"Take her out to play when she's in a good mood."

"When is she in a good mood?"

"I don't know that either."

"Why is she in a bad mood?"

"Because people always bully her."

"Wow, I'm going to help her."

"You can help her when you grow up."

"They said I couldn't grow up and I was vomiting blood all the time."

"Do you want to grow up?"

"think."

"If you think about it, you have to think about happy things, you know?"

"I can't see my father and mother, I'm not happy."

"Be good, your father and mother will come back, as long as you behave well, they want to see a happy little baby, so you must be obedient."

"En." The little guy nodded firmly.Afterwards, she stuck to Chen He, and while Chen He held her in his arms and teased her, he chatted with the two of them.For the next few days, Chen Xi stayed with the child in Wangjing, so that on the day she left, Xiao Fuyu burst into tears and refused to obey, even coaxing and tricking her to comfort her.

I haven't seen it for a few days, and I don't know what happened to Xiaotianhe.Chen Xi took out the child's clothes and thought about it for a long time, but the child was avoiding me, so how could she be willing to wear the clothes I gave her?After returning from going out, Shenbi Peak has changed a little bit compared to when we left. There are more birds in the sky and more animals on the ground, and the trees on Cangyu Mountain have sprouted again.

Chen Hui returned to her Shenxin Pavilion, and found that the child was digging dirt on the grass in front of the door. When the child saw her coming, he ran away in fright.

A smile flickered across the corner of Chen Yu's mouth, what on earth is this kid afraid of her?She went up to check the overturned land, guessing that she might be planting something, there were a few missed seeds sprinkled on the ground, when Chen Hui picked it up, it turned out to be rose seeds.Chen Yuxin's head was scratched, bleeding deeply.She turned around and returned to the house, and the cabinet next to the bedroom was opened, and there was an open and exquisite small box on the desk, which was originally her collection of rose fruit.The child casually rummaged through her things without her consent, and it was the most important thing she cared about most. Chen Xi closed the box with a "snap", turned and went out angrily.

Xiao Tianhe quickly returned to the big tree where she used to rest, patted her chest in fear, stretched out her tender little hand, looked at the few flowers and fruits left in her hand, picked a large leaf, Wrapping the flowers and fruits carefully, before closing the last corner, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Give it back to me!" The man stretched out his hand to her with a bad tone.

It's not that Chen Xi doesn't know that this child has a weird temper. Once he angers her, it's hard to guarantee that his blood will splatter on the spot the next moment.But who has died once, especially a person with a dead heart, how can she care about the flesh and blood, once her bottom line is touched, she will not be afraid of even the most powerful ghosts and evil spirits.

She was ready for the child to throw her out with a palm, but she didn't, but looked at her with aggrieved face, seeing the anger in her eyes.So she stretched out her little hand and put the leaves containing the flowers and fruits in her hand. Because the leaves were not completely closed, a few fell off, and she lowered herself to pick them up one by one and handed them to her, then walked silently. open.

Looking at that crooked, young but lonely figure, her heart suddenly ached even more.

"Wait a moment."

The child turned his head.She walked up a few steps and returned the flower seeds to her: "Take it and play."

The little thing stared at her with wide eyes in confusion.

"Don't stare, the eyes are already big, it's scary to stare." Chen Yu joked.

When the little thing heard about it, he lowered his eyes sadly.

Chen Yu took out a set of children's clothes from the void bag and handed it to her, saying: "Seeing that you run around naked and often cut your skin, put on some clothes to protect your little body."

She held the clothes in her forearm, looked at her, then looked at the things in her hand, tilted her head and thought for a while, and wanted to use one hand to free up to get the top one, but as soon as she was free, several pieces All the clothes fell on the floor, and she hurriedly bent down to pick them up. The clumsy appearance was funny and cute, so Chen He had to help her herself.Well, with a delicate face and cute clothes, who can give birth to a child with this appearance, he will definitely be a monster when he grows up.Chen Xi looked at the little thing beautifully, but she stood there in a daze.

"What do you think?"

That was the first time she spoke. Although she could make a sound before, it was always babbling: "They...did...did...kill...you...?" The voice paused, like a small stammer .

"what?"

"All...the...people...who...protected...protected...me...they...are...dead..."

What happened to such a small child?

"Those [-] Celestial Clans, why did you want them?" Chen Zhu asked again.

"Because...he...they...wanted...to kill...me..."

"Why did they kill you?"

"Because...he...they...killed...no...I..."

She touched her messy little head: "Don't worry, they didn't kill me that easily. You are here, and no one can touch your finger."

"I... want... kill... they... they... kill... all... all... people!" Saying this, endless dissatisfaction appeared in those dark eyes Interfering with hatred.However, the next moment, the light of vengeance dimmed again: "But... this... will kill... more... many... people."

She lowered her little head and rubbed the corner of her clothes.

The person in front of him didn't speak, wondering if what he said was too scary, the little guy raised his head, but was pulled into the embrace of the owner by a hand.

"You have done a good job. You are the best and kindest child in the world." At this moment, she really didn't know how to comfort her. Wen Gong was right, this is indeed a kind-hearted child , However, everything she suffered distorted her mind.She can touch every animal that comes close to her, and she can turn around and kill tens of thousands of mortals.Her heart became two halves that blended with each other, one half was soft and delicate, the other half was violent and cruel.

Wengong hoped that she could change this child and make her forget her hatred, but even if she did nothing, the child would hypnotize herself, which made her feel that for this child, forgetting hatred is also cruel.

"Does your body hurt?"

The little guy shook his head: "Daddy taught me a way to make the little bugs in my stomach sleep for a few days."

"Daddy?" Chen Zhiyu repeated with doubts.

"Daddy... was locked up, as young as me, but he grew up in that world, as big as you."

Only then did Chen Yu know that the "father" she was talking about was not her real father.

"Who is your father?"

"My daddy...that's daddy...he can't grow up, and when he grows up, he will drive the Heavenly Emperor away." Chen Yu has heard a little about the legends of the heavenly world, but it's hard to distinguish the true from the false, and they all take it as a story and let it go Now, when the child said it, she vaguely guessed who the "daddy" she was talking about was, but she couldn't confirm it, so she just put it aside and didn't deal with it.

"And this." Chen Xi suddenly conjured up a rattle, shook it twice, and handed it to the little guy: "This is called a rattle, and it was given to you by a little girl who is as tall as you."

Holding the handle with both hands, the little guy stood up from Chen Xi's arms, shook it a few times, and laughed happily.

"Are you still afraid of me?"

The little guy shook his head.

"Why are you afraid of me?"

The little guy shook his head again.

"What's your name."

"The sky core."

"What kind of name does Heaven account for? It's so ugly. Why don't I name it for you?"

The little guy nodded.

Chen Xi looked at the sky and thought for a while: "What about Fan Yi, which means comprehending the ordinary."

The little guy nodded happily.

Suddenly, everything around it turned black from south to north.The dust raised his head, and a huge object covered the sky, covering the few stars and the moon.

"What?" Dust asked to himself.

"Heavenly steps!" Xiaofan was even happier, jumped up and waved to the sky.
