Spring has arrived, and the northern grasslands no longer see the white snow, but instead look full of life.
The tender green of the grassland is refreshing, and the transparent and clear river flows through the meadow, with winding and moving twists and turns.
The white clouds hang low in the sky, as if the sky is within reach.
But for some reason, on the way back, Yan Liuyuan always felt that the sky was also gloomy, and the dark clouds never dissipated.
Until the moment he saw Sister Xiaoyu, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and the skylight penetrated the dark clouds and went straight to the earth, and the abyss was also illuminated.
When Sister Xiaoyu saw Yan Liuyuan, she felt that he had changed. But when he saw her, he immediately changed back.
For Yan Liuyuan, Sister Xiaoyu is like a solid anchor. As long as this anchor is still there, he will not get lost in the deep sea.
In front of Sister Xiaoyu, he is no longer a god, nor a young hero on the grassland, but just Yan Liuyuan.
"Sister Xiaoyu, my brother is still alive," Yan Liuyuan said softly while sitting in the royal tent.
Sister Xiaoyu, who was sewing clothes for Yan Liuyuan, suddenly froze. She turned to look at Yan Liuyuan: "He...where is he?"
Yan Liuyuan He took off his black visor from his cheek and said, "But I didn't go looking for him."
There were only two of them in the royal tent. Sister Xiaoyu looked at Yan Liuyuan's expression. Feeling a little sad, she said, "Is it because of fear?"
Yan Liuyuan suddenly talked about something else: "Sister, you know my ability. Every time I used it, there would be backlash." "
Sister Xiaoyu said with a gentle look: "The first time I discovered your ability was when your brother's bones were all broken. At that time, we were held hostage by Li's troops to work. You Wrestling every day makes you bruised and bruised, and those who have been cursed by you have all fallen to death."
"Well," Yan Liuyuan nodded: "The backlash of that curse is very simple, what am I cursing? , the corresponding backlash will come to me, but it has been different since the battle in the river valley. The earth is constantly cracking, and the cracks in the ground continue to spread into the distance, but I have not suffered any backlash. The cracked earth is like It's like opening the shackles on myself. Every time I use it, the shackles will be opened a little more."
After hearing these words, Sister Xiaoyu did not rush to respond, but listened silently to Yan Liuyuan. Continue talking.
Yan Liuyuan said: "The cracks in the shackles are like the gaps in the abyss, constantly expanding. I feel as if there is some kind of will calling me, letting me become a part of that will, no , to be more precise, it is to replace that huge will. Only when I return to you can I feel that the cracks are slowly closing, and I will regain more... human emotions."
< p>"Liuyuan, you have unified the grassland, don't use your abilities anymore," Sister Xiaoyu said softly as she sat opposite Yan Liuyuan."Well, I will try my best to restrain myself," Yan Liuyuan promised.
"Then what are your plans in the future," Sister Xiaoyu asked.
Yan Liuyuan was silent for a long time: "This The next time I went south, thousands of people died innocently in the massacre, and some women were humiliated because of the Qiu Dun tribe. I didn’t know how to face him, and I didn’t know how to tell him that his closest brother had become The person he hates the most. "
"But you know, although he wants you to be a good person, he will never abandon you just because of this kind of thing. Have you ever thought about how hard it is for him to find you now? You know your brother's character. If he doesn't see you for a day, he will keep looking for you day by day until he dies," Sister Xiaoyu said.
Yan Liuyuan stopped talking.
At this time, Sister Xiaoyu looked at Yan Liuyuan's expression and suddenly realized that it was not that Liuyuan could not face Ren Xiaosu, but that he could not face himself.
At that time in the market town, Liuyuan could speak well. Imitating Ren Xiaosu's tone, he would do whatever Ren Xiaosu liked.
This child has had an inexplicable admiration for Ren Xiaosu since he was a child. He has always taken Ren Xiaosu as his role model and wanted to be like Ren Xiaosu. .
But in the end, he became the person that the other party hated the most, and Yan Liuyuan was scared.
"Sister, give me some time," Yan Liuyuan said. “I’m going to check on the salt pond first. "
With that said, Yan Liuyuan put on the black visor again. When he walked out of the royal tent, there were already countless tribesmen waiting for him outside. Hassan stood up for him. After taking the horse, Pu Lanqi knelt on the ground respectfully and willingly became a horse stool.
This is the treatment of the gods.
Yan Liuyuan first checked the injury of the deceased. Pu Lanqi confirmed from the side: "They were all stab wounds, but they should have been heavy swords. The chop was so powerful that the person was almost cut into two pieces, and his ears were also cut off, like a ritual. "
Yan Liuyuan nodded: "Are there any survivors? Have you seen the appearance of the perpetrator? "
"No, these are the only twelve people who went to the salt pond to carry salt, and they are all dead," said a leader.
He Guyan squatted next to the corpse: "Knife The injuries were all positive, and no one escaped. They were all the bravest men on the grassland. Master, do you want to chase them to the north to avenge them? I can be a pioneer. ”
“Let’s bury the warriors in the sky first,” Yan Liuyuan said calmly.
After saying that, several falcons flew from the sky and landed next to the corpse as if there was no one around. All the tribesmen knelt down. For the grassland people, if the body of the deceased could be eaten by falcons, it meant that the soul of the deceased could fly to the sky.
But in the past, sky burials required the dead to be buried. Being dragged to the grassland to wait for seven days has never been as magical as before.
In their opinion, this is the funeral held by Yan Liuyuan personally for the tribe, and it is the baptism of the gods.
< p>Yan Liuyuan turned his horse and walked in the direction of Yanchi, hundreds of soldiers behind himFollow him like a personal follower.When they arrived at the outskirts of the salt pond, Yan Liuyuan had already seen the blood stains in front of them.
On the vast white salt pond, the purple-brown blood stains were extremely eye-catching. Yan Liuyuan asked: "Is this where the body was found?"
"Yes, master." A prairie man replied.
"Have any of you seen those people from the north in recent years?" Yan Liuyuan asked.
"No," Pu Lanqi shook his head: "It is said that the ones with the most activities in the north should be my Pu Lan tribe, but I have never seen them."
"That's strange. "Yes," Yan Liuyuan said, "Why did these people suddenly go south and come so close to our territory?"
At this moment, a black figure appeared on the vast salt pond in the distance, and Hassan subconsciously He moved forward, leading his men to form a defensive formation in front of Yan Liuyuan.
Yan Liuyuan watched the other party gradually approaching from horseback, and then said calmly: "Here he comes."
