predecessors
The ancient gods and demons - Yinglong and Xiangliu, fought against each other in the East China Sea, which shook the mainland of China and caused countless casualties. In order to protect the people of China, the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, together with the warriors from all over the world, jointly established the "Demon Killing Order", in which
Led by the four major sects of Tianxuanmen, Shifangdian, Chiyun Tower, and Dusui Valley, thousands of practitioners take it as their own duty to slay demons and demons in the world, and extract the inner elixir of demon spirits to seal the gods and demons of the East China Sea.
The demon spirit Ming Snake? Gui Haiming suffered the disaster of annihilation. When he was seriously injured and fled, he was rescued by the panda fairy Mo Bai and his adopted human girl Yue Xiaozhu.
Ten years later, the four sects came to Mo Baixianjun to ask for the magic weapon Yun Shengjing, Gui Haiming and Xiaozhu protected the panda master who was knocked back to his original form.
The top disciple of Chiyun Pavilion? Bi Fei - the latter almost died protecting his friends and was expelled from the disciples.
The four of them went through thorns and thorns along the way, experienced the hardships of the world, witnessed all kinds of entanglements, and were full of love and hate: Guo Hongfei, who devoted himself to supporting his old father, and his filial piety moved heaven, and Zhong Wujia, a brother and sister who were misunderstood by the world and would give everything for each other.
Jin Jian's friend Xiao Xingzhi speaks like a poem...
At the same time, a weird and terrifying conspiracy gradually emerged: the master of Chiyun Tower, Zhengde Zhende, was manipulated by Venerable Yinglong, and actually used tens of millions of living beings to set up a "spirit-devouring demon array" to refine the world's most evil and poisonous people.
——Qian Lingzhen. The culprits who turned the Zhong Wujia brothers and sisters into monster snakes, killed Guo Hongfei to seize the Thunder Pearl, and beheaded Xiao Xingzhi to seize Feng Lingjiao were also the Four Yinglong Masters.
It turns out that after Yinglong was sealed in the East China Sea, he was unwilling to accept it and instructed the four venerables - Jiuhuang, Xuying, Burning Sacrifice, and Hunsha - to search for a way to unblock the seal in the world. Gui Haiming turned out to be the four venerables.
"Burning sacrifice" ranks third in the list.
Yan Luo Zhao, Shui Xuan Lin, Lei Ming Eyes, Feng Ling Jiao, and the four spiritual weapons gathered together to break the forbidden spell and destroy the East China Sea seal? The Seven-Seal Star Pillar. The ancient god and demon? Ying Long, returns to the world! However, Gui Haiming
His parents did not resurrect, and the latter realized that they had been deceived by Ying Long. Gui Haiming risked his life to kill Ying Long and correct his mistakes, but his struggle was no different in front of the ancient gods and demons.
The worms shook the big tree. Just when Gui Haiming's life was hanging by a thread, Mobai Xianjun and Xiaozhu came to the rescue again.
In order to protect young people and girls, Immortal Mo Bai risked his life and used his magic to send Gui Haiming and Xiaozhu out of danger. But he himself was hit by Yinglong's burning fire, and his body was instantly burned, leaving only one black and one white.
Two rays of spiritual light were scattered between heaven and earth...
Chapter 1 Old Dream
◎ ◎ ◎
The snow feathers were falling, falling into the world one after another, and falling into this small flat city. The white snow flakes fell silently, shuttling between the warm orange-red lanterns.
On this day, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every household hung up lanterns, either hexagonal palace lanterns painted with beauties in pink and white, or lotus lanterns with layered lotus petals. They were hung on the eaves outside the house, gently blowing in the wind.
Swaying, it illuminates this cold winter night. The warm candlelight reflects the figures of everyone laughing and reunited. It also reflects the warm yellow light on the falling snow on the street, seeming to warm the snow.
The lights are shining thousands of miles away, the snow is falling, and the night view of the mountain city is like a picture scroll. In the midst of this picturesque scenery, two figures, one large and one small, are walking.
The older one is a thin young man. He is dressed in white, with hair like ebony, handsome eyebrows, and slightly raised corners of his lips, seemingly smiling at all times.
The younger one, about six or seven years old, wore a thick green cotton-padded jacket, had two cute buns, and had a pink and tender face. He was holding a rabbit lantern in his right hand and still holding it in his left hand.
It was a colorful little windmill. She held the windmill high and ran with her short legs, watching the blades rotating in the wind, her eyebrows turning into crescents in the sky.
"Plop!" The little guy ran too fast and accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, face down in the falling snow. The fall was not light, but she didn't cry or make a fuss, and quickly got up on her own.
, stretched out her short hand and touched her sore forehead. Then, she stuck out her tongue and smiled apologetically at the young man behind her, as if she was reflecting on her rashness.
"Girl, what do you want me to say to you?" The young man in white smiled and shook his head. He squatted in front of the girl and reached out to brush the snow foam from her hair with a very gentle movement.
"Master, Master, you are the best!" The girl's voice was sweet and soft. She hugged the young man's arm with her two soft white hands and shook it gently. Her pleading was beyond words. Only then did the young man realize that
, the rabbit lantern fell into the snow, and the bamboo frame was crushed. He bent his index finger and gently tapped the girl's forehead. After giving a small punishment, when no one was paying attention, he raised his clothes.
He covered the broken lantern with his sleeve, and at the same time tapped his right hand lightly. A golden brilliance suddenly shone in the void, and the rabbit lantern bathed in the brilliance suddenly returned to its original appearance, as white as new.
The female doll happily clapped her hands, then stretched out her short and chubby arms, hugged the young man's neck, pressed her little face against the other man's side, made a "chirp" sound, and generously printed a kiss on the young man's face.
Kiss. The young man chuckled helplessly. He picked up the lantern and windmill with one hand, and hugged the little girl with the other hand. The girl found the most comfortable position with familiarity, leaned into the other person's arms, and buried her little face in the master's neck.
, smiled sweetly.
These two people are none other than Mo Bai and Xiao Zhu. Mo Bai was originally a panda in the mountains, but by chance, he cultivated into an immortal king. He lived in the mountains for hundreds of years and did not care about worldly affairs, until one day, he picked up something in the bamboo forest on a moonlit night.
When he saw a dying newborn girl, he used fairy magic to prolong her life and adopted her, naming her "Yue Xiaozhu".
Although Mo Bai has strong magic skills, he is a single male panda after all and knows nothing about child-rearing. He had not been stained by the world for hundreds of years, so he had to hold the baby girl and leave Duanyun Mountain, where he had practiced for many years, and entered Shu.
In the mountain city, he claimed to be a failed scholar, wrote family letters for his neighbors, wrote couplets during the holidays, and got along harmoniously with his neighbors. Not only did the aunts nearby teach him how to take care of babies, some even used their own milk
Feeding the bamboo shoots.
This stay lasted six years.
"Hey, Mo Xiucai, are you bringing your daughter to enjoy the lanterns?" The energetic female voice called to the two people walking through the lights of the street.
Mo Bai stopped and looked back, only to see a woman with a stocky figure and plain clothes. Seeing her, Xiaozhu smiled sweetly and called out in a sweet voice: "Aunt Liu, have a good holiday~~~"
This woman from the Liu family was their neighbor. When Mo Bai brought Xiaozhu into Pingcheng, she had just given birth to a posthumous son named "A Gang" after experiencing the pain of losing her husband. The aunt of the Liu family had strong bones and abundant milk.
So she often asked Mo Bai to hold Xiaozhu and nurse her. In this way, she was half of Xiaozhu's wet nurse, so Xiaozhu called her "Mother Liu" and was very close to her.
However, just last year, another tragedy befell this warm-hearted aunt. On that day, Aunt Liu took A Gang back to her parents' home to visit relatives, and they encountered a man-eating monster on the road. The vulture swooped down,
A pair of sharp claws grabbed the little Gangzi sleeping on Grandma's back. Grandma Liu tried her best to chase, but how could she catch up with the winged monster on her own two legs? Wait for her to catch up.
When they went to the mountains, all they found was the child's clothes, which were covered with blood and torn scratches...
From then on, the lonely Widow Liu was depressed all day long and never showed a smile. Whenever she saw Xiaozhu, her face would turn pale: the same child who grew up on her own milk, Xiaozhu became more pink and cuter,
The more it reminded her of her poor only son who was devoured by monsters. Xiaozhu was also an exquisite and clear child. When she noticed the ups and downs of Nanny Liu's mood, she stopped clinging to her to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable when he saw her.
But what the two of them didn't expect was that Aunt Liu was now free of her usual gloom and sadness, with a smile on her face and eyes, and her whole person was more energetic. Seeing her smiling face, Xiaozhu also felt relieved.
After taking a breath, he asked the other party in a soft voice: "Mother Liu, are you coming out to look at the lights too?"
"How can I have the time? Why don't I take it out to see the doctor!" The "it" in Widow Liu's mouth is a snow-white lamb, but there is a cloth strip tied to the right hind leg, and there is a faint trace on the cloth strip.
There was blood oozing out, and it looked like he had been injured by a trap in the mountains. Aunt Liu held the little white sheep in her arms, caressed its back lovingly, and said softly: "I loved it as soon as I saw it.
It's amazing, I always feel very friendly. Look at its big eyes, it seems like it can talk."
Just as Widow Liu said, the little white sheep raised its head and looked at the person in front of it with its big, bright black eyes. Xiaozhu tilted her head, looking at its pair of eyes that looked like black jade, and she suddenly
She felt warm in her heart, as if her whole body was being sucked into those black eyes, into a bottomless cold pool. She shrank back in fright, and hurriedly buried her face in Mo Bai's neck, but right here
At that moment, she suddenly heard a clear male voice:
——Don’t be afraid.
The voice was not close to her ears, but sounded in her mind. For some reason, she intuitively realized that it was the voice of the little white sheep. Xiaozhu turned her face secretly, and slowly opened her eyes, which were closed due to fear.
With his eyes, he cautiously glanced at the little white sheep. He saw it wagging its tail, and its dark and gentle eyes as dark as jade were staring at her:
——I am Baize, not an evil monster. Don’t be alarmed or afraid.
"Bai... Ze..." Xiaozhu murmured to herself and recited the name in a low voice. The next moment, she raised her head, looked at Mo Bai's handsome side face, and asked curiously: "Master, master, what is Bai Ze?"
?”
Mo Bai didn't answer, he just looked at her tenderly and gave her a gentle "shush". After receiving the hint, Xiaozhu immediately stopped talking. She looked at the well-behaved and clever little lamb in confusion, and then looked at her again.
He looked at Aunt Liu. The latter seemed not to hear Bai Ze’s inner words at all, but looked worriedly at her injured leg wrapped in bandages:
"Bai? What is Bai? I won't talk to you any more. I'll take it to the doctor to have a look at it. I wonder if this bad leg can be treated properly."
Seeing that Widow Liu was about to leave with Bai Ze, Mo Bai smiled and said: "Aunt Liu, Mo Bai knows a little about medicine, and there are some herbs at home that can treat common skin and flesh injuries. If you don't mind, let me treat this little white sheep.
Just take a look."
Widow Liu was naturally grateful. Mo Bai stopped shopping any more and went straight home with Xiao Zhu in his arms. Leaving the bustling lantern market, the three of them walked all the way to the alley in the east of the city. Mo Bai and Xiao Zhu's residence was not big, with only two rooms.
The small wooden house is very simple in furnishings, just like an ordinary house, with nothing more than a living room, bedroom, stove and dining room. But what is different is that this courtyard is guarded by a row of bamboos, unlike other houses with bricks or tiles.
It is surrounded by fences. At first glance, you can see green grass, green bamboo covered with falling snow, and it has a unique charm.
Walking into the courtyard, Mo Bai casually hung the rabbit lantern on the bamboo branch beside the house. The warm lanterns and candles swayed gently in the wind, and the bamboo shadows whirled like a light dance. Stepping into the house, Xiao Zhu jumped out of Mo Bai's arms consciously.
, pattering on her short legs, ran to the table and held a lamp. The candlelight illuminated the four walls, and also reflected the rows of ancient books on the bookshelf, as well as the rubber balls and bamboo dragonflies scattered on the ground.
Xiao Zhuji was very well-behaved and clever. She brought the bench with a "hey, hey, hey" sound, and was about to invite Aunt Liu to sit down, when she heard Mo Bai smile and say: "Aunt Liu, making medicine requires a lot of effort. Otherwise.
You go back and rest first, and I will deliver the little white sheep to your house early tomorrow morning. What do you think?"
It was already past the hour, and it was inconvenient for Aunt Liu to stay. She put the little white sheep on the table, and reluctantly patted its head. After thanking her repeatedly, she turned and left. Xiaozhu sent her out of the yard and said sweetly
They said goodbye until the other party's figure could no longer be seen, then they ran back to the house, threw themselves on the ink-white thighs, raised their heads curiously, and asked softly:
"Master, Master, why did you send Aunt Liu away? And, what on earth is Bai Ze? Why can't Aunt Liu hear what it says?"
Mo Bai held the lamb on his knees and carefully untied the cloth on its right hind leg, revealing the bloody wound. He didn't look for any herbal gauze, but just put his hand on top of the wound and chanted aloud
After reciting the phrase "Qi Healing Technique", golden brilliance gathered on the fingertips, and dots of golden light fell on the wound. In just a moment, the blood flow stopped, the skin and flesh grew, and the wound healed.
The lamb jumped off its ink-white knees in one stride, spread its hooves and swayed on the ground. After confirming that the injury was healed, it suddenly stopped and closed its eyes. The next moment, dazzling white light burst out from its whole body.
The light dissipated, and there was no shadow of the lamb. Only a boy who looked fifteen or six years old stood. He had handsome features, picturesque eyebrows, a light golden pattern on his forehead, and a pure white fur draped over his shoulders.
Wearing a pair of black leather boots, he held up his fists, slightly bowed his hands to Mo Bai, and said loudly:
"Kunlun Baize, thank you Immortal Lord."
"I don't dare to accept it. It's just a gesture, no need to say thank you." Mo Bai also bowed back, then patted Xiaozhu's shoulder and said softly: "Girl, let Bai Ze answer your question."
The young man readily agreed. He nodded slightly to Xiaozhu and said, "I am Bai Ze. I have been living in Kunlun Mountain to practice. Master Taiyi made it clear that if you want to achieve success in practice, you must first step into the world of mortals to experience and eliminate demons and correct your mind.
Only then can you ascend to immortality."
"Oh, that's it~~~" Xiaozhu protracted the last word and shook her head. She knelt on the chair with two calves and her arms lying on the table, looking at the other person curiously. Bai Ze kept saying "I" and "I".
"I" went. Some of the sentences she heard were confused, but the general idea was not difficult to understand: "Anyway, your master wants you to come here to practice, and then you can become an immortal king like Master Panda."
!”
"That's right," the young man Bai Ze said with a slight smile, "Master also specifically told me that there is a monster causing trouble in the mountain city of Shu. It kills innocent people indiscriminately and is cruel and despicable. Let me eliminate the evil for the people. I followed the instructions and came here. I noticed that the mountain forest
There was indeed a demonic aura in it. Just when I was pursuing the demonic aura and trying to track down the whereabouts of that evil beast, I suddenly heard the sound of a child crying..."
"Ah!" Xiaozhu straightened up immediately. Her eyes widened and she said in surprise, "There is a child in the mountains? Could it be Gangzi? Master, Master, is it possible that Gangzi is not dead?"
As she said that, she reached out to pull the hem of his dark clothes, shaking the hem of his clothes, and asked ecstatically. However, the latter lowered his eyes, and he reached out and gently stroked the back of her head, shaking his head slowly.
Seeing his pitiful and helpless look, the surprise and expectation in Xiaozhu's eyes suddenly dimmed: "I...I thought...it would be great if Gangzi hadn't been captured by the monster, and Grandma Liu wouldn't be sad.
Already..."
The sad look on the baby girl made Bai Ze pause for a moment. He recalled the sad face of the woman called "Mama Liu" when he first met her, and the pair of black eyes looking around.
Her eyes were filled with hope and prayer, but were dimmed by disappointment again and again. It turned out that she was looking for her biological son. Bai Ze thought for a moment and then continued: "At that time, I heard the cry of a child.
Then I went to check. Who would have expected that it was the evil creature that pretended to be a baby and led me into the poisonous array it laid. When I noticed something strange in my breath, I had already inhaled the poisonous gas, and my body was severely damaged..."
Xiaozhu exclaimed and couldn't help but hugged the master's arm. Mo Bai patted her head comfortingly, smiled lightly, and said: "You have lived in Kunlun Mountain for a long time. It is a fairyland with natural treasures and spiritual energy. There is no evil.
Evil beasts come and go. Therefore, if you don’t know the various conditions in the world and the world is dangerous, it is inevitable that you cannot understand the tricks of the evildoer. The voodoo sculpture looks like an eagle with horns, has a voice like a child’s cry, and spits poisonous smoke. Back then, Gangzi was killed
It kidnapped me, and I searched for it in the mountains, intending to kill the monster. But it was extremely cunning and cunning. After I cut off one of its wings, it screamed, attracting hundreds of birds to come out of the forest. It took advantage of the chaos to escape, and has never been seen again since.
There is no trace. Unexpectedly, the monster has lost its wings and is now playing the trick of waiting for prey, using baby cries and poisonous smoke to attract prey."
After listening to his words, Bai Ze clasped his fists again and said: "It turns out that it was the Immortal Lord who took action to trap the evildoers in the mountains and protect the people's lives. As the Immortal Lord said, I am still young and lack experience, so I have no chance to become an immortal."
Even though he had divine power, he still fell into the trap of that evildoer. Fortunately, he did not forget what he had learned in his life, and in the end he killed the vulture, and fortunately he did not disgrace his life."
"That's great, that's great!" Xiaozhu clapped her hands until her two little hands were red. She jumped off the bench, ran to Bai Ze's side, raised her head and looked at him with a smile.
: "Brother Bai Ze, you are so powerful, you killed that bad monster in one go!"
Mo Bai nodded and said with a smile: "Bai Ze is indeed the most powerful divine beast on Kunlun Mountain. If it were me, and I had been poisoned by that guy's barrier, there would be no way I could kill the culprit and escape unscathed."
"Wow, the strongest divine beast, it looks so powerful," Xiaozhu said in surprise, but the next moment, she tilted her head again and put on a puzzled expression, "But Brother Bai Ze, you are so powerful at killing Gu Diao.
Why did he become a little white sheep again and step into the trap of the hunter uncle?"
Her question caused the young man Bai Ze to show a slightly embarrassed look: "I'm ashamed to say that this battle was extremely embarrassing. Although I won, my skill and body were damaged and I was knocked back to my original form.
In addition, the poison gas invaded his brain, and he stepped into a animal trap buried in the mountains and forests in a daze. Fortunately, he was rescued by the woman surnamed Liu."
Xiaozhu suddenly realized: "That's it. Aunt Liu is so pitiful. She must still miss Gangzi very much, so she doesn't give up and goes to the woods to look for him every day..."
Bai Ze raised his eyebrows. Although Xiaozhu did not explain the cause and effect clearly, from her words, Bai Ze pieced together the encounters between "Mama Liu" and "Gangzi" and made a close guess.
10. He lowered his head in silence and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "This Aunt Liu has been kind to me in saving my life. I will do my best to repay her."
Hearing what he said, Xiaozhu clapped his hands again: "Okay, okay, I think Grandma Liu likes you. I haven't seen Grandma Liu as happy as she is today for a long time!"
Bai Ze's words of repaying his kindness made the little guy happy, and Mo Bai smiled and nodded. At this time, the three of them never expected that this kind-hearted repayment would actually lead to a bloody storm, which would end with a tragic ending.
The wailing and mournful tears wrote an ups and downs tragic song.
