Light and Darkness 5
After the battle between the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Yun Sheng and the Black Qilin King Ye Xiu, Ye Xiu disappeared.
No one knew where Ye Xiu went or whether he was dead or alive.
After the humans and beasts signed a treaty of peace, the Dutian Blood Realm became a place for both humans and beasts to commemorate.
The Dutian Blood Realm, which used to be barren, was gradually planted with vegetation. A small village was also gradually formed in the Blood Realm.
Every year, there would be many young martial practitioners, as well as some citizens of the continent that would come to Bloody Sky Metropolis Jie to tour.
However, the most popular places were the eight tombs of the beasts.
This was especially so for the Celestial Fox Tomb and the Qilin King Tomb. These two tombs were the cenotaphs of the Celestial Fox People's Chief Hu Yan and the Black Qilin Tribe's Chief Ye Xiu. Therefore, there was an endless stream of people visiting them.
Every person who visited the tombs of the Celestial Fox Tomb and the Qilin King Tomb would go to the front of the Celestial Fox Tomb and ask for a pair of marriage fated locks.
Legend had it that the marriage fated locks sold in front of the Celestial Fox Tomb were spiritual. As long as a pair of marriage fated locks were locked together and thrown into the Crimson Moon River, the lovers would be together forever.
No one knew if this legend was true or not, but every year, there would be an endless stream of people coming to buy marriage fated locks and throw them into the Crimson Moon River.
Most of these people who lost their marriage fated locks were young men and women.
On this day, another pair of young lovers walked by.
"Buy a pair of marriage fated locks."
The lock seller in front of the Celestial Fox Tomb took out a pair of marriage fated locks. He didn't say anything.
"I heard that he's mute."
"How pitiful. Everyone else is in pairs, but he's alone. I wonder if he has a family."
The pair of young lovers glanced at him, whispered among themselves, and walked away.
It was an old man whose age was unclear. The reason why he was called an old man was because of his tattered clothes and long hair. His eyes were hidden under his hair, and he looked very old.
The old man never spoke. When he saw someone come to buy locks, he would hand over a pair. As for the rest, he didn't say much.
"Grandpa, is this the tomb of Celestial Fox?"
A young and adorable voice entered the old man's ears.
The old man did not speak. There was no fluctuation in his eyes, as if he was deaf.
Who would have thought that her hand would suddenly reach out and tug at the old man's beard.
The old man finally reacted. For the first time in many years, there was a ripple in his emotionless eyes. He looked at the owner of the pair of hands.
It was a little girl about three or four years old. She was pink and tender, with big eyes and a small oval face.
The little fellow seemed to be very angry at this moment. He was looking at the old man angrily.
She didn't know where this little fellow came from. Her parents were too careless. How could they allow a baby to run around?
Looking at the little fellow like this, the old man couldn't get angry for a while. He snorted and ignored the little fellow.
"Grandpa, are you angry? I didn't mean to. I was separated from mother and father. They said that if I got lost, I should wait for them outside the tomb of Celestial Fox. " The little girl was very good at reading people's expressions. She pitifully circled to the front of the old man and softly said.
The old man looked at the little fellow and his heart softened.
"This is the tomb of Celestial Fox." After a long silence, the old man's voice was a little hoarse.
"That's great, then I'll wait here for Mother and Father. Grandpa, do you want me to chat with you? "The little girl seemed to like this strange old man.
Chat with him?
He should be the one chatting with her, this opinionated little fellow.
The old man was annoyed in his heart. He humphed noncommittally. Forget it, let her be. In any case, he won't answer.
"Grandpa, my name is Little Yue. What's your name?"
"…"
"Grandpa, do you have a family?"
Although the old man didn't answer a word, the little girl was very interested and talked about a lot of things about her and her family.
The old man already knew that there were five people in her family, including her, her parents, and a bunch of twin brothers who were about to be born.
Hour passed, but the little girl's mouth was still chattering non-stop. The old man didn't notice that from the beginning, he completely ignored the little girl. Later, he gradually nodded and shook his head.
"Grandpa, you are alone outside the tomb of Celestial Fox. You don't even know Ji Mo?" The little girl's little mouth didn't stop.
"I … am looking for something." His heart moved slightly, the old man's lips moved.
This was the second time he spoke today, and also the second time he spoke in several years.
"Looking for something? What are you looking for? Little Yue will help you find it? "Seeing the old man finally opened his mouth to chat, the little girl's big eyes sparkled.
"That thing has been lost for many years. It's been so long that I don't remember where it is." The old man shook his head.
"That won't happen. Little Yue will tell you a little secret." After looking around and confirming that there was no one else around, the little girl said mysteriously in the old man's ear. "Grandpa, I have a very magical power. As long as you tell me what that thing looks like, I can find it."
The little girl's appearance made the old man feel a little amused. When this thought came to his mind, the old man was a little shocked.
Laughing … This thing, how many years has it been since he had this kind of thing?
"Tell me, Grandpa. I will definitely help you find it." The little girl patted her chest.
Looking at the little girl's confident eyes, the old man was momentarily dazed.
There was once such a woman who also exuded such confidence.
But unknowingly, he lost that person.
"That is … a pair of locks. Two names are engraved on it. Ye Xiu … Hu Yan. "When he said the last name, the old man's voice was indescribably sorrowful.
"Oh … Grandpa, wait for me here. Wait for me." The little girl didn't know if she heard the old man's words clearly.
The little girl ran away like the wind.
The old man didn't say anything. He seemed to have sunk into his deepest memories.
Just as the old man thought that the little girl wouldn't return, she ran back after a while.
However, unlike before, her hair and clothes were wet.
From the looks of it, she seemed to have fallen into the river.
There were small wounds on her chubby hands and feet.
"Grandpa, take a look. Is this it?" The little girl looked very happy. She stuffed the thing in her hand into the old man's hand.
"What are you doing?" The old man looked at the little girl's appearance and then looked at the thing in his hand.
When he saw the pair of locks in his hand, the old man's eyes instantly blurred.
It was a pair of locks. A pair of locks that had been left behind thousands of years ago.
"Ye Xiu, this pair of locks is like the two of us. Hu Yan and Ye Xiu will be together forever. We will never leave each other. "The woman's clear voice sounded like it was by his ear.
The locks were covered in rust and moss, but the two words' Ye Xiu 'and' Hu Yan 'on the locks were still vaguely visible.
"Thank you … Thank you." The old man couldn't help but cry bitterly.
He thought that he would never have a chance to find this pair of locks again.
"Grandpa, this pair of locks fell into the Crimson Moon River. Don't be sad. Since the locks have been found, you should go home and reunite with your family. "The little girl didn't expect the old man to be so sad. She hurriedly patted the old man's shoulder with her small hand.
"Child, I, Ye Xiu, will remember your kindness for the rest of my life." The old man looked at the little girl in front of him. His voice was full of sincerity.
"Grandpa, you're welcome." The little girl giggled.
"Ling Yue …"
Not far away, a young man and woman were walking over.
The little girl turned her head to look, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her small face.
"Mother, Father, Little Yue is here."
It was a pair of parents who were as dazzling as the sun and moon. The woman was dressed in white and had picturesque features. The man beside her was tall and handsome. At this moment, he was nervously supporting his big-bellied wife and kept telling her to slow down.
When he saw the young man and woman, the old man's expression suddenly changed.
It's them … This little girl was actually their daughter.
The old man thought of the little girl's delicate face and her eyes that were exactly the same as her mother's. He sighed in his heart.
"Ye Lingyue, how many times have I told you not to run around?" When Yun Sheng, who was close to giving birth, saw her daughter, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she pulled a long face and pulled Little Lingyue back to give her a harsh scolding.
"Father, Mother is angry." Little Lingyue hurriedly hid behind her father, Ye Beiming.
"Little wild cat, don't be angry. Lingyue has just returned to the human world and is a little playful. Be careful of your body so that the baby won't be affected." Ye Beiming hugged his wife dotingly and kissed her on the lips.
After they went to the Eight Desolate God Realm, they were busy for several months. It was rare for the family to come to the human world. Yun Sheng suggested that they go to the Blood Dutian Realm to take a look. After all, this place had a special meaning to him and Yun Sheng.
"Night Fox, there's a child here." Yun Sheng's face was red.
"Little Yue can't see anything. I can't see Father eating Mother's mouth," Little Lingyue said mischievously.
Yun Sheng was angry and amused at the same time.
"Lingyue, where did you go just now? How did you end up like this? "Ye Beiming saw that his daughter was injured and was a little worried.
"I went to help an old grandpa look for something. That old grandpa is very pitiful. He's just …" Little Lingyue pointed behind her.
There was no one outside Celestial Fox's tomb.
"Eh, he was just there. How strange. "Little Lingyue was a little depressed. It wasn't easy for her to become friends with the old man.
"She's probably talking about the lock seller outside Celestial Fox's tomb. Forget it, it's getting late. Let's go back." With that, Ye Beiming carried his daughter in his arms and hugged Yun Sheng.
"Father, tell Little Yue about the story of Celestial Fox and the Qilin?" The little girl's voice echoed in the wind.
The family of three followed the setting sun and walked along the Crimson Moon River.
Outside Celestial Fox's tomb, the lonely lock seller was still lonely.
The Crimson Moon River flowed forever. The story of the Celestial Fox People Chang Hu Yan and the ancient Qilin Wang Yexiu also continued to spread.
