Ice Fantasy Chapter 6: Snow Country (1)

I want to come, the wind is light and the clouds rise late, and the pen falls on the west mountain.

Silver hair is thin and sparse at this time, and the palace is cold and rainy at another time

Brocade Persian Blanket Mahogany Thin Sun Warm

Raise your hand to hold Liulan and walk across the river of forgetfulness

Leaning on the door thousands of times, smoke from the neighbor's kitchen

The ice and snow are near in spring, and the lights illuminate the night boat in summer

Looking for the king thousands of miles, the soul is rare

The wind blows the dry leaves in a hurry

The vast world returns to the clouds

Green in the mountains

A lifetime of dreams

One piano, one hand song

One day for one season

I wait for a gathering

When I was 350 years old, I finally became the king of the Snow Empire. Standing on the magnificent city wall of Renxue City, I saw the undulating crowd below, and heard their calls. They were calling me, Ka Suo, our great king. Those people have never seen a king with such long hair just after taking the throne. Only I know that it is Shi's soul that continues in my life. His long silver-white hair is flying in the bitter wind. I heard Shi's words The undead sang clearly high in the sky, and I heard him whisper my name.

I can feel the traces of loneliness left by Shi's hair on my body. Their owner has died under my sword many years ago. The white blood, the outstretched fingers, the unbridled lotus flower... everything Everything in it is like the brightest and clearest star map in the sky, but no one can see how much despair is buried in it.

Whenever I look up at the sky, I will see snowbirds flying by in a hurry, piercing the air and hoarsely singing, so desolate that people want to cry. I can see Li Luo standing high on the unicorn, and see her happily manipulating the wind and snow, I can see Lan Shang in the sea as light as a butterfly, and I can hear the singing of mermaids filling the entire fantasy snow empire. I saw Shi's mischievous face like a child's, with a handsome yet sinister smile, and long hair scattered in all directions. I saw Shi holding a ball of flying snow in his left hand, and a ball of flickering fire in his right hand. lotus.

My younger brother is the one who loves me the most, but he loves too fiercely, he is like a child who is completely ignorant, although he has the most perfect face of a mature man, in fact, his heart seems to have not grown up Like a child in my life, willful and fragile. His spiritual power was much stronger than mine, but he died under my sword without even resisting. He was still smiling when he died, but there was so much sadness in his smile. Because he can't give me freedom, can't stand with me on the high city wall, let the wind fill our white robes, can't be with me, go back to the snow and fog forest, back to the beginning when everything didn't start.

There is also Li Luo, the greatest wizard buried in the depths of the ice sea by my father, and the beautiful woman who accompanied me to sleepless nights on the roof. There is also Lanshang, the little mermaid who loves vigorously. When I saw her fishtail when she died, my nails sank deeply into my palm. After the crowd of onlookers dispersed, I was so sad that I cried and tears fell Sprinkle it on Lan Shang's snow-white and crystal-clear hair.

However, they are all undead. I can only stretch out my hand to the blue sky, shake it in vain, and then shake it again.

The maids and guards are saying that I am the quietest king in history. During the day, I am used to holding rolls of sheepskin illusion codes, leaning against the cherry blossom trees, and learning those ancient and uncommon illusions; I would sit on the roof and watch the stars fall like poplars. Occasionally, cherry blossom petals would fly from far away and fall on my shoulders. I would pick them up and put them in my mouth to chew carefully. Occasionally, I could hear the playfulness of the children in the distant snow-fog forest and the heavy breathing of the forest. I smiled lightly, and when I looked up at the sky, I couldn't tell how many years had passed. The strong wind blew past, and the blue snow blew past bitterly. Blow it vigorously. The days passed peacefully.

One day I vaguely remembered that when I was in the snow fog forest, when I was not even a wizard, my mother-in-law always held my face, stroked my soft and delicate long hair and said: Ka Suo, when When you become the king of the Illusory Snow Empire, your days will suddenly become as calm as a river, and a thousand years, ten thousand years, will gradually flow by without a sound.

Life is silently consumed in eternity.

I am a lonely king. According to the practice of the Huanxue Empire, every old king can no longer stay in Renxue City after abdicating, including queens and concubines.

So I always hear my lonely footsteps in the huge palace. Because I didn't choose the queen and concubine, I can't forget Liluo, Lanshang, those kind and affectionate girls. I always dreamed that Liluo stepped down from the unicorn, knelt down in front of me, folded her hands, and said to me: "My lord, I will take you home." Her smile is so warm that I am not even afraid of the wind and snow. I always dreamed of Lan Shang dying under the cherry blossom tree over and over again, curled up, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes. Sometimes I go to the Snow Fog Forest, play with the kids there, and teach them some fun tricks, they are always amazed that I can conjure a flying transparent ice fish and a fluffy snow-wrapped head with water into a bear. My mother-in-law always stood beside me, looking at me quietly. A very beautiful boy said to me, you are the best king, can I be your guardian in the future? I said yes, then your hair will become very long, your current spiritual power is not enough, and all my four guardians in the south, east, north and west are all vacant. Seeing that boy's clean face reminds me of when Shi was a child, his eyes were big and transparent, as beautiful as a girl's, and his smile was like a blooming cherry blossom, clean and bright.

After a long time, my mother-in-law said to me: Ka Suo, you will always be like a child. Seeing you sitting among those children with a silent smile on your face, I always think of those children who were still in the snow and fog forest. day.

Yes, I am just a child, but I have grown up in the 30 years of exile in the mortal world, holding my brother in my arms and walking in the snow and dust of the world. Now Shi has disappeared into the sky, but I put on the phoenix robe of phoenix yarn and the crown of snow haze, sitting on the throne of mysterious ice, looking down on my people, and becoming a **** who will always shine in their hearts.

Sometimes I will lie on my mother-in-law's lap like a child like a few hundred years ago. My hair used to be short enough to be **** and coiled on top of my head, but now my hair is so long that it runs along my neck. Huangya's phantom robes scattered all over the ground. The mother-in-law said: Ka Suo, your spiritual power is getting stronger and stronger. I said: Mother-in-law, no matter how strong the spiritual power is, what's the use? It's like being alone guarding a beautiful scenery, but there is no one around. I have no one to protect. Mother-in-law, now I rarely talk except you and Xing Jiu. I find that I don't want to talk to others. I have never felt that Renxue City is so empty and big, like a huge and glorious mausoleum.

Mother-in-law, I want to see my father and mother. After I finished speaking, I felt my mother-in-law's hand stroking my hair suddenly stop.

My lord, no, the Imaginary Snow Mountain is a forbidden area. Except for the astrologers who can go to the astrology platform for astrology, no one in Renxue City can step into the Immortal Snow Mountain.

Why? I just want to see my mother. Ka Suo, after so many years and so many things, you should understand that there are no reasons for some things. This is just the rule of the Huanxue Empire. Although we are gods in the hearts of mortals, gods are also imprisoned. Ka Suo, do you know that in the past, the people of the royal family had wings on their backs, snow-white wings and soft feathers, but now although the people of the royal family can use Apparation freely, no one can fly.

Grandma, why doesn't my mother come to see me? I miss her.

Ca Suo, it's not that your mother doesn't want to, but that she can't. Why not?

Ca Suo, I don't know how to tell you about some things, but you will always understand in the future. Then I'll ask Xing Jiu. Xing Jiu will not tell you, because he is the same as me, as an astrologer, we have the right to astrology and dream interpretation freely. No one can force it. Moreover, Xing Jiu also knows what can be said and what can't.

I looked up at my mother-in-law's wrinkled face, her smile was warm but fuzzy, like a lotus blooming through the thick mist, far away like an illusion, I seemed to see the undead released on the clouds again, he A smile that slowly spread like ripples.

Great snowbirds flew across the sky, and their chirping tore through a blue sky. My temples started to hurt again.

A few months later, I still went to Huanxueshen Mountain, because when I was admiring the withered cherry blossoms on Luoyingpo, I saw a court lady next to Lian Ji. Her hair reached her ankles, which means, She is more powerful than any wizard in Renxue City. And that's almost impossible.

I want to know what secrets are hidden in the Magic Snow Mountain.

When I saw the queen mother, she was standing by a pool of spring water, her hair was loosely scattered at her feet, it was incalculably long, maybe even longer than mine, and a white unicorn stood beside her. Beside her, cherry blossoms flew into her hair one by one, and the water reflected on her face.

I called softly, mother. The queen mother turned around, and then saw me, and saw her son with flying hair in the Huangya phantom robe, the current king of the Huanxue Empire. Then her face began to become distorted and terrifying, she swayed backwards, and the petals of cherry blossoms collected in her hands scattered one after another. She just kept shaking her head, and then said to me: You go back quickly, go back quickly...

Niang's voice was sharp and hoarse in the howling wind, as if her throat was strangled by a big hand of fear.

Mom, don't you want me to come and see you? Mom, I miss you, I'm so lonely in Renxue City, how are you doing? I took a step forward, trying to get closer to her.

The queen mother still shook her head, but tears fell one by one. I was just about to get closer, when suddenly there was the sound of footsteps behind me, it was very slight, just the sound of some snow crumbling under my feet, but I still heard it, and so did my mother. Before I could turn around, the queen mother had already clasped her thumb and ring finger, pointed to the spring water, and then pointed her finger at me. Before I could see clearly, I was surrounded by a stream of water flying out of the spring, and soon Lost consciousness. In the short moment before coma, I heard the voice of the person behind me, it was Lian Ji.

In the rapidly rotating and changing water flow, I vaguely heard their conversation. Who was here just now? Lian Ji's voice was still the same as before, as sharp and cold as ice.

No one. Then why do you use the Water Curse?

There is no need to report my actions to you, even if I use the water killing technique, it is only my pleasure. In front of me you kill with water, you don't want to think about who you are in the magic snow mountain.

... When I was shocked by their conversation, a sharp cold penetrated into the bone marrow, quickly ascended to the brain, and then I lost consciousness. The last image in my eyes is my mother bursting into tears, and the huge air current swept the wind and snow towards her.

The cherry blossoms are cruelly falling, just like the winter when Shi died.

The snow and fog forest is always warm, the sun is like mercury running all over the ground, and the wild flowers are endlessly gorgeous. When I woke up, I was sleeping in my mother-in-law's house. The stove gave off a warm smell of firewood. My mother-in-law was sitting by my bed with a serene and calm smile. At the door, Xing Jiu stood against the light, and the bright light outside made his silhouette very clear. I saw the falling star staff in his hand. I know it's my mother-in-law's wand for astrology.

Grandma, your cane... Wang, I have already given the Falling Star Staff to Xing Jiu, because he is now the best astrologer in the Huanxue Empire, and I am already old. My mother-in-law said softly, stroking my hair. So do the best astrologers have the right to say what they want to say? Xing Jiu suddenly turned around and looked at her mother-in-law. His expression was cold and stiff, like the cold basalt on the altar. I never thought that Xing Jiu would speak to his mother-in-law with that expression.

No. You can't without me. The mother-in-law's tone was even colder. I've never seen her look so serious. I even saw the flexion of her fingers. It's obvious that she has been secretly accumulating illusion energy. The wind rushed in through the door, filling Xing Jiu's astrology robe, and the mother-in-law's hairpin also fell down, and the long silver hair was flying and entangled in the wind. I felt dizzy and murderous.

So I stepped carefully among them, in order to stop the fight between them in time. Mother-in-law, why can't you tell me everything? I am the king of the Huanxue Empire, and I have the right to know.

You will not be happy if you know it, and your future will be destroyed under these secrets. Don't you think he's not destroyed enough? He will be so lonely all his life, only his footsteps can be heard in Renxue City, what is the difference between this and living in a tomb? If one day I die and you die too, how will he live? In the past, because I didn't dare to talk about many things, I always hinted at Wang vaguely, but what happened? He killed his beloved and beloved brother. Isn't that enough? !

Xing Jiu, if you don't tell him, he just lives alone; but if you tell him, he may die because of it.

Grandma, is Yuanji really that scary? Yes, people who haven't met her will never understand how scary a person can be.

I heard every word they said but still didn't understand, so I turned around and asked who Xing Jiuyuan Ji was.

Yuanji, she is... shut up! Say another word and see! The mother-in-law raised her left hand, and fine wind and snow began to swirl around the fingertips on her fingers. I saw my mother-in-law's face suddenly turned pale blue, I knew Xing Jiu would surely die if this continued, I suddenly stood in front of my mother-in-law and opened the barrier to protect Xing Jiu. I said to my mother-in-law: Mother-in-law, your illusion is no match for mine, and I don't want to do anything to you. And I won't do anything to you, as long as you don't hurt Xing Jiu.

My mother-in-law looked at me for a long time, and I saw the radiance in her eyes. I seemed to see my mother-in-law's all-powerful appearance when she was young, but in an instant, the light in her eyes suddenly dimmed, and I saw her face was indescribably old.

I suddenly felt distressed, and great regret spread from my heart. Standing in front of me is the mother-in-law who brought me up single-handedly, the mother-in-law who loves me more than the whole world.

The mother-in-law lowered her head and said in a low voice: Yes, my illusion is no match for yours, Ka Suo, I know you won't use illusion on me... When the mother-in-law said the word "use", she suddenly Lightning shot, and then fingers along the back of my hand across my entire arm, my entire left hand was frozen in solid ice, completely incapacitated. Then I saw Xing Jiu on the opposite side was controlled by my mother-in-law within three moves, and Xing Jiu fell straight down like a fallen tree.

Grandma is indeed the best illusionist in Renxue City.

When the mother-in-law fell down and sat on the floor, she was obviously old, and she said: Ka Suo, I still lost to you. I thought my illusion was better than yours, Ka Suo, you have really grown up.

I looked at my mother-in-law and didn't speak. From the day Shi's hair grew on me, I learned the magic of the Fire Nation. When my mother-in-law restrained my left hand, she didn't guard against my right hand at all, so I defeated her with the simplest magic of the fire clan. The mother-in-law stood up, walked to the door, and turned her back to me and Xing Jiu, she said: Maybe it's God's will, Xing Jiu, if you want to say it, you can say it. There were shining traces flowing through the wrinkles of my mother-in-law. I lowered my head and didn't dare to think about what it was.

Xing Jiu came over to me and said: Wang, have you seen your mother queen? seen.

Have you ever seen the illusion she uses? I suddenly remembered that the illusion used by my mother was something I had never seen or even heard of. I don't know how the Queen Mother can directly manipulate liquid water, that's against the magic code. The magic tricks I learned since I was a child can only be manipulated by freezing water into ice, snow, or frost.

The illusion is the Water Curse, which is more powerful than Apparition. Apparation can only move by itself, but the Water Curse can move anything by manipulating water.
