Chapter 4 Second murder for the first time in his life

It was already winter, and the first snow fell in the Illusory Snow Empire.Winter in the Illusory Snow Empire will last for ten years.And it will snow every day for ten years.I looked up at the heavy snow in the sky, and thought of the snow-fog forest. In the snow-fog forest, there is never heavy snow, and the four seasons are never distinct. It seems that it is always late spring and early summer, and there will always be a warm glow like the setting sun in the entire forest. Walk slowly. There was a chirping of flying birds in the sky, I turned my head and saw Ying Kongshi under the cherry tree.The branches and leaves of the cherry blossoms have all withered, leaving sharp dead branches piercing the blue sky, Shi's figure looks so lonely.He looked at me with a smile. His hair had already grown to the ground, while mine had just reached my ankles. The spiritual power of the Ice Race illusion is measured by the length of the hair, so Shi should have stronger illusions than mine. Summoning ability.He has been a very talented child since he was a child.

Shi looked at me with a bright and innocent smile, and he said, brother, it’s snowing, the first snow this winter.Snowflakes fell all over his hair, his shoulders, and his young and handsome face, but there was no snowflake on my body.I asked him, Shi, why don't you use illusion to shield the snowflakes?I raised my hand to open the barrier on his head, and he raised his left hand and clasped his ring finger, gently dispelling my illusion, and then said to me, brother, do you hate snowflakes falling on your body so much?He looked at me with an unbearable sadness in his smile.Then he turned and left, looking at his back, I felt vaguely sad in my heart, this is the person with the longest hair and the strongest illusion in the entire Illusion Snow Empire, this is the only one who doesn't use illusion to shield Luoxue, this is me The only younger brother, the person I love most in this life, Ying Kongshi.

In the 30 years of exile in the mortal world, I have hardly learned any illusion. I can only make a living by turning water into ice sculptures of various small animals.And we have to keep walking to avoid the pursuit of the fire clan. Once, a person took all my ice sculptures, but didn't give me money. Shi stood in front of him, bit his lips tightly, and didn't say a word Looking at him intently, the man pushed Shi to the ground.So I picked up a bowl of wine and walked up to him and handed it to him. The man smiled ferociously, and he said, "Little bastard, do you want to poison me to death with poisoned wine?"So I took a sip of the wine, then smiled and said to him: So you are so afraid of death.The man was furious, took the bowl and drank it down, and said: I'm afraid of you, a little bastard.Then he died.When his eyes widened in disbelief before he died, I said to him: You are wrong, I am not a bastard, I have the purest blood.

I just turned the wine that flowed into his body into ice, into the shape of a three-half sword, piercing through his chest. That was the first time in my life that I killed someone, and it was also the first time I discovered that mortal blood was different from ours, not white, but fiery bright red.I suppressed my fear, when I looked at Shi, I didn't understand why there was such a cruel and evil smile on his face.But that smile was fleeting. When that person fell down, the sky started to snow again. I hugged Shi and stood in the middle of the snow.Shi Wang looked at me and said, brother, we will never be killed by others again, right?I said: Yes, Shi, no one can kill you, I will protect you with my life, because if I die, you will be the future king.

When I was 139 years old, I met Li Luo, the youngest and greatest wizard in the Snow Empire.People in the royal family will turn into adults when they reach 130 years old, so when I walked in the snowy street with Ying Kongshi, who was still a child, everyone thought I was Shi’s father, no Everyone knows that we are the only two remaining princes of the Huanxue Empire.I still remember that when Liluo appeared, the heavy snow on the ground was suddenly rolled up, covering the sky and blocking the sun, and everyone fled in all directions. I hugged Shi and stood there without moving, because I didn't feel any murderous intent.At the end of the snowflakes, Liluo stood tall on top of the unicorn, and the heavy snow fell beside her like poplar flowers. When she fell, she walked over and knelt in front of me, crossed her hands and said to me, Wang, I will pick you up. .

That winter was my last winter in the mortal world, the snow was like catkins, and willow was my favorite plant in the mortal world, because its flowers were like the heavy snow in Renxue City, which has been snowing for ten years. Seven days later, when Shi Youliluo and I stood under Renxue City, I suddenly burst into tears.When I left home, I was just a child, but now, I have grown into a handsome and tall prince like my brothers, the future king of the Huanxue Empire.The new city wall is even more majestic. I saw my father, mother, and all the wizards and astrologers standing on the city wall looking at me. They smiled at me. I heard them calling my name and Ying Kongshi's.Shi hugged my neck and asked me, brother, have we gone home yet?Wouldn't we be killed by those red ones?I kissed Shi's crystal clear pupils and said, Shi, we are going home.

When the gate of the city opened slowly, I heard the cheers of the court. Amidst the cheers, I took Liluo's hand and said, I love you, please be my princess. Many years later, I asked Liluo, and I said, Liluo, I fell in love with you seven days after I saw you, how about you?When did you fall in love with me?Li Luo knelt in front of me and looked up at me, she said, Wang, when I got off the unicorn and knelt in front of you, I fell in love with you.After she finished speaking, she smiled at me, and the white cherry blossoms fell down one after another, covering her white hair, and the pollen fell on her long eyelashes.Li Luo's white hair is slightly blue, not pure silver white like mine.Because Liluo doesn't have the purest blood, she can only become the best wizard, but not an illusionist.But I don't care at all.

When I was 200 years old, I said to my father, my father, please let me take Liluo as my wife.When I finished speaking, there was not a single voice in the entire palace.One month after that, an unprecedented heavy snowfall fell in the Illusory Snow Empire. In that heavy snowfall, Li Luo disappeared. Later my mother told me everything in tears.Because my father does not allow a person with an unrighteous bloodline to become my concubine.My princess can only be a mermaid in the deep sea palace. I remember that when I rushed into the imperial father's bedroom, he was sitting on a high black ice chair, and I used all my illusions to defeat him.When he was lying on the ground and I stood in front of him, I suddenly felt that he was old, and the father in my heart who fought in the world and commanded the world was late. At that moment, I shed tears sadly, and my father , did not say anything.My younger brother, Ying Kong Shi, stood beside him, folded his hands, and watched all this coldly. Finally, he smiled and turned to leave.

Some people told me that Li Luo had gone to the mortal world, some people said that Li Luo was sent to the Magic Snow Mountain because of her witchcraft, but Xing Jiu told me that Li Luo had actually been buried in the depths of the sea of ​​ice. Later Shi asked me, he said, brother, do you want to go to find her? Find?Maybe she's dead. just maybe.Maybe she's still alive. No need, so what if I find it, I will eventually become the king of the Huanxue Empire, and Li Luo will never be the queen. Brother, do you like being a king that much?Can't you go with her? How do you want me to let go of my father, my mother, my subjects, and you, Shi.

Brother, if I love someone, I can give up everything for that person.After speaking, Shi turned and left, while I stood alone under the boundless snow.For the first time in my life, I didn't use illusion to shield it, so heavy snow fell on Shi and my shoulders. That night, I dreamed of Liluo, as Xing Jiu said, she was buried in the deepest part of the ice sea, she smiled and called my name, she said she was waiting for me, she called me Ka Suo, Ka Suo , Caso... She got down from the unicorn, moved her lotus steps lightly, knelt in front of me, crossed her hands, her whole body was covered with silvery white and slightly blue light, she raised her head and said to me, Wang, I will take you home...

Xing Jiu is the youngest and greatest astrologer in Renxue City, and also the only one who did not die after reading astrology for Ying Kong Shi.When Shi became an adult, he had the same silver-white hair as me, but inside, there were strands of red hair like flames.Father asked seven astrologers to perform astrology for Ying Kongshi, and the first six were all in the process of astrology, and died suddenly, vomited blood and died.Xing Jiu was the seventh, I only remember that he and Shi stared at each other for a long time, and then both of them smiled, evil and weird. After Xing Jiu finished his astrology, he walked up to me, knelt down, crossed his hands, and said to me, Ka Suo, my young king, I will use my whole life to ensure your safety.After speaking, he turned his head to look at Shi, and then left.After that, he didn't tell anyone about the astrological results. But after a long time, he asked the maid to give me a painting. In the painting, there was a black rock standing on the shore. Beside the rock, red lotuses bloomed like flames. In the sky, there was a huge white bird hovering. . Later, when Shi saw this painting in my bedroom, his eyes were suddenly filled with snow, and he turned and left without saying a word. The wind blowing from nowhere suddenly filled Shi Xuebai's robe. I took this painting back to the snow and fog forest where I had been away for a long time.Those towering ancient trees still have green shade that covers the sky and the sun, and the sunlight falls from the branches and leaves like fragments, and falls into my white pupils.The grassland spreads softly and endlessly, and the wild flowers burn all the way to the sky. There are still beautiful streams flowing in the forest. Beside the streams, there are beautiful white deer and some children. They all have pure blood, some are astrologers, some It's a wizard, only, no illusionist, the illusionist has grown up and comes back with a painting. I stood in front of my mother-in-law, looking at her wrinkled face, I said, mother-in-law, I am Ka Suo. She came over, raised her hand to touch my face, she smiled, and said, Wang, you look like your father when you grow up, handsome and tall. Mother-in-law, can you tell me the meaning of this painting? Yes, my young king.That piece of coast is called Lian'an, and that black stone is called Lianyu Stone. Those who violate the taboos of Huanxue Empire will be tied to that stone and imprisoned forever. Granny, what about the bird? That is the snowbird, this kind of bird always appears at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, because their calls can melt the ice and snow. So why haven't I seen this kind of bird in the snow fog forest? Ka Suo, my young king, because there is no winter and no snow in the snow fog forest. Granny, what about those red lotuses?What do they mean? Ka Suo, I don't know, maybe Xing Jiu can tell you, but I can't, I'm old.I only know that a very old king once told me that the red lotus, which grows undefeated on the land of the fire elves, symbolizes despair, rupture, and love at all costs. Mother-in-law, Shi and I have passed the test of illusionists at the highest level. yes?Ka Suo, how's the grade?How many cherry blossoms are left? Mother-in-law, no, not a single piece left I saw a warm smile blooming on my mother-in-law's wrinkled face, smudged round and round, like beautiful ripples.The clear and chime-like laughter of those children came from my ears, and I suddenly remembered that I hadn't heard Shi's laughter for a long time.
