    Huainan stood aside in front of the shrine where the Pear Blossom Illusion was worshipped, not knowing why Ya Xian brought him to this place.

    Seeing Yaxian come back, the people who danced and sacrificed by the three fire pits in the main hall came out to greet him, bowed down and kowtowed in front of Yaxian.  Yaxian raised his hand, and the three of them turned into crows and spread their wings away.

    Following Yaxian into the temple, the temple is still filled with incense and red candles.

    Yaxian looked at the walls on all sides, bent down and made a bowing posture, got up and said: "Do you know who is worshiped in this temple day and night?"

    Huainan looked around at the murals, and asked cautiously: "Is it all the vegetation, plants, and creatures on this mural?"

    Ya Xian nodded: "You understand. Back then, our family was an ordinary group in the forest of Dahei Mountain, because there were always humans living in the places we passed, and when we saw them in trouble, we would help them. After such a long time,  It was regarded as a spiritual bird by the people in the village, and many small shrines were built for our race to rest. Later, it gradually evolved into a kind of belief, and temples were built, and incense was worshipped day and night."

    "Even if you are incensed by human beings, you must not fall into the godhead. If you ask for it, as long as it does not violate the way of heaven, our clansmen are willing to help each other. Hundreds of years have passed like this, until an abnormal drought swept across, and the decline of faith,  Affected by the drought, the human beings at the bottom of the mountain died one by one. As the leader, I thought, I would like to use my blood as a sacrifice, and it would be fine if there is heavy rain one day.  solution to drought."

    "I flew over high mountains and long rivers, over forests and snowfields, over cities where humans gather, and finally found a way to alleviate the drought on a high mountain, but when I returned to Daheishan, it had already been burned in a fire  Ashes, the human beings who live in the mountains, and the vegetation and creatures that go up the mountains, are not spared."

    "In my distraught, I was shocked to find that my people, the creatures in the mountains, did not die from the fire, but a massacre from hunger. When I went to thousands of mountains and rivers to find a way to resolve the drought, under the mountain  Many people, because of starvation and death, have long forgotten the beliefs they used to worship, and turned to massacre with their own hands, and the fruit fell into the stomach of the hungry."

    Huainan looked up at him, and said softly: "So, in order to make them pay for their sins, you cast this enchantment with soul bells, trapped their souls for a thousand years, and used a thousand years of incense to repay all the grass and trees.  sin?"

    Ya Xian shook his head, "I didn't understand human beings, even after being incensed by humans for hundreds of years, I didn't understand what kind of existence human beings really are. But I know that if you die in such a fire, you can't cross the river of forgetfulness, and you can't get over it."  Naihe. Therefore, this enchantment is not only a redemption, but also a kind of purification. After a thousand years, the enchantment will be broken automatically. At that time, all human beings and vegetation trapped inside will have their consummation and go to where they should go  place."

    Huainan felt a little sad, "Then where are you going?"

    "Me?" Yaxian smiled softly, and his words seemed a bit bitter: "The soul bell can only call back the dead souls scattered in the wilderness. This enchantment is the result of my thousands of years of practice and hundreds of thousands of  My soul is drawn from the divine power obtained from human incense and worship for many years. When the enchantment is formed, I will be born. When the enchantment is destroyed, my soul will fly and annihilate."

    Huainan listened in amazement, didn't know how to reply for a while, and said softly: "Master Yaxian." Before he finished speaking, two black shadows suddenly turned over and grabbed Yaxian on the roof of the temple.

    Yaxian mentioned Huainan and retreated coldly, "In my enchantment, you dare to be presumptuous." Sweeping them with a long stick in his hand, he knocked them out of the temple. Just when they got up and were about to jump back, Yaxian raised his hand and swept them  However, it was as if a barrier had been drawn to trap them outside the hall.

    "Even if I have already fallen into the godhead, I am not something this little monster can deal with." Yaxian said, turned to look at the main hall, bowed down and bowed three times, and said softly: "It's been a thousand years, it's time to end  gone."

    The long stick in his hand hit the ground heavily, and the soul bell on the stick flew up. Suddenly, the ground cracked, the murals on the wall began to fall off slowly, and everything around was collapsing.

    Huainan called out to Lord Yaxian in surprise, Yaxian turned around slowly, walked out of the temple amidst the collapse, stood in front of the temple gate, and looked at the village at the foot of the mountain in the distance, there were countless crying and wailing sounds inside, little by little  Firefly, slowly rising in the village.

    "After casting this world back then, I could never go back to the original state, and could only leave in the shape of a crow. In the first hundred years, I went to many places where humans gathered, and even chased drought and fire, looking for such  What kind of choices will they make in the disaster. But after seeing too much disappointment and pain, they finally found a cave and fell asleep there."

    "It wasn't until nearly a hundred years ago that I suddenly woke up, perhaps because the enchantment was coming to an end.??, I know that I have only a hundred years left in my time, and I don¡¯t know where to go, so I walked casually until I met the child who was about to starve to death at the foot of the ancient city wall.  "

    Yaxian said, and slowly said: "Since you have seen her, you should also know the story behind. After the parting under the ancient city wall, I became aimless again, until when I flew over the Fushan post, I was caught by human beings.  I was hit by a slingshot and fell into the courtyard of human beings. I was rescued by the child at the time. I lived there for five years and watched her grow from a sixteen-year-old clumsy child to what humans call marriage  big girl."

    "Demons never remember time, because time may take a nap, and hundreds of years have passed. But I remembered her nagging, she said she was sixteen years old, said she was seventeen years old, said  She is 18 years old this year Saying she is 21 years old this year is meaningless to me, but I remember her optimism and cheerfulness, and when she is happy, she will dance in the yard with a broom, and I also remember  She is afraid and sad, and when she is bullied, she will just hide in bed and cry."

    "Human" Yaxian said with a deep sigh, "I still don't understand her emotions, joys and resentments. Why did the belief of hundreds of years end up in her stomach? Why was she bullied?  Don't fight back, but hide and cry quietly, and after crying, you can become friends another day."

    "What an elusive human being." Ya Xian sighed, "Let's go, it's time to end"

    In the distant village, more and more fireflies gathered, winding like a long river to the invisible horizon. They were all fireflies transformed from the souls of the dead in the barrier.

    Huainan raised his head: "Shall we go find Grandma Chi?"

    Yaxian nodded, looking at the fireflies in the distance, "Come on, come with me, go where you should go" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
