Chapter 266 Destiny
The snowfall was so cold it seemed to freeze the season.

Even if it's already night, the white crystals are still falling, and the world is as dead as an ice age.

But it is completely in line with common sense. After all, it is indeed the winter season, and it still belongs to the earth's climate 300 years ago.No matter how you look at the snow, it doesn't violate any meteorological laws, not to mention that it is always like this these days, and it often snows from time to time.

It can be said that it is neither accidental nor abrupt. If there is any difference, it is just that the snow tonight is a little...concerning.

How should I put it, it is a sudden whim, but it is not meaningless to the metaphysical perception possessed by Tier [-].

Therefore, Mu Xiu stood up from the fire, and gently placed a completed rune stone on the warm animal skin blanket next to him.Then he glanced at the unsealed window, and saw the white-stained darkness outside the house through the unsealed window——

So, he decided to go out as a matter of course.

At this time, it was probably midnight, and the fields, mountains, villages, and even the whole land seemed to have fallen into a peaceful sleep.

There are only white fragments in the black sky, fluttering down like feathers.

Just pushing the door open and stepping out, the boy walked directly into the silver world outside the house, walking in the snow that kept falling in this silent white night.

There is no particular purpose.

Just had a hunch, so I went to that place.

It seemed as if he was just walking aimlessly in the silence, as if he was going to reach the end of the gray and wide night.But at some point, Mu Xiu had already arrived at the lake near the village, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was taken aback for a moment.

Because he had been here once a few days ago, but at that time he remembered that the entire lake was covered with ice and snow.The surface of the lake turned into crystal clear ice. Under the sunlight at that time, it seemed to reflect the holy light, which made people afraid to cast their feet.

But now, the clear lake reflects the whole world as clearly as a mirror.

And, there she is—

A girl with long black hair reaching to her waist was standing quietly by the lake, as if she was staring blankly at the miraculous beauty in front of her.She just stood there so simply, exuding a noble and elegant princess temperament.

"..."

Maybe it's because of the extremely beautiful snowfall and the clear lake, the scene in front of me is too beautiful.

Even Mu Xiu couldn't help being in a trance for a while, and then came back to his senses, his eyes seemed to have a hint of suddenness.But even so, he still held his breath subconsciously, for fear that the slightest movement would shatter the tranquility.

The snow that fell one after another was silent, and it just quietly melted into the darkness.

...after a long silence.

She finally turned her gaze slowly, and then sighed softly, as if she was very helpless, words leaked from her lips in a low voice: "...you are still here."

This girl with waist-length black straight hair and Ji hairstyle has the image of Yamato Nadeko as a whole, and surpasses any girl Mu Xiu has seen before with overwhelming beauty and temperament. .

——It is no exaggeration to say that it is like the most perfect interpretation after materializing the existence concept of women, a beautiful girl in the true sense.

In the past, Mu Xiu just felt that no matter how beautiful a person is, there should be a limit, but now he can't see this limit in the other person at all.

If before he thought it was the tranquility and extreme beauty of the snow scene of Minghu Lake that set off the other party, then after the girl looked back, this kind of thinking has directly changed to a diametrically opposite extreme direction of thinking.

But it's not enough to lose his mind, even the moment he heard Penglai Shan Huiye speak, he immediately reacted with concentration, and secretly raised his vigilance.

Just the next moment-

A ray of light shone in the hands of the princess, and an inexplicable force spread directly in all directions, and in an instant, it radiated to a place farther than the limit of Mu Xiu's perception.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Xiu felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world, and he realized that something was not right in an instant.

Because the snowflakes that were falling leisurely all around seemed to suddenly turn into barrages of ghosts and beasts, falling from the sky crazily, and then fell to the ground in an instant.

It seems that the world has turned on the game mode at once, and it is still the kind of barrage game where even the game masters who can pass the level with one life can only kneel directly.

Although Mu Xiu didn't feel any strange feeling himself, he reacted in an instant conditioned reflex, and no matter whether his own time slowed down or the time of the outside world speeded up, the result was the same.

But he didn't wait for a good way to think about it, but when he subconsciously entered the state of the maximum safety limit of the liberation of the restricted area of ​​life, he felt a certain abnormal throbbing feeling deep in his genes and soul.

At the same moment, a special wave of monster power appeared on him, gently smoothing another conceptual power that was working, and even ripples and ripples appeared in the void...

To use a common saying, that is to say, it is too late, and then it is too fast. Anyway, it is only a few seconds in Mu Xiu's subjective consciousness, and everything in his perception has returned to normal.

He raised his eyebrows. This seems to be the effect of Zi's spell?Not only can he complete his own internal realm, but he can also balance the effects of external forces with a realm nature?

From this point of view, it seems to be a very powerful continuous buff. No wonder she looked so tired and weak after finishing the spell.

Then, he didn't have time to think more, because Mu Xiu was surprised to find that he hadn't finished the calculation, and there was a deeper "chemical reaction" happening rapidly in his body——

As if some mechanism was touched by these two conceptual forces, Mu Xiu felt something produced in his soul.

Although it was just an extremely weak light at the beginning, it was like a seed of possibility, slowly growing bigger and stronger, thriving, and finally growing to the point where it was constantly spinning and sprinting in the body, and finally overflowed !

If it is said that Yakumo Zi has temporarily completed the basis of his existence through the power of the realm, and only repaired the foundation, then the direct intervention of Mount Kaguya's eternal power has achieved the most critical one. catalytic effect.Because the former is like preparing firewood, which makes it possible for him to burn it, but the latter actually ignites the fire...

It's as if the soul is sublimated in an instant, reaching a weird essence that can distort the law——

A rising twilight-like flame appeared on the surface of Mu Xiu's body, and then it burned quietly without heat or radiation, just like an illusory and exquisite holographic image.

However, it was not sparks that shot out, but countless words full of unknown meanings. No matter what angle you looked at, they were extremely weird. Apart from having a flame-like shape, other aspects had nothing to do with flames.

Suddenly, everything stopped.

Mu Xiu was taken aback for a moment again, and then his attention couldn't help being diverted.

He looked at the flame on his body strangely, then raised his hand and moved around, carefully experiencing the feeling at this moment.It was a strange feeling, as natural as blood and breathing, without any consumption.

As long as you can still think, "think", and have the will, you can liberate this kind of power. It no longer seems to be unconnected with each other like before, and there is no way to control it at all... But now actually It can only be controlled initially, to the extent of passive defense.

Couldn't do more with this power.

The quietly burning flame turned into a tangible and intangible dim light, which gradually wrapped around Mu Xiu's body, repelling some kind of strange power fluctuations, making it difficult for that strange ability to break through the defense wall and take effect on him. .

"..."

The black long straight girl frowned slightly, but she didn't show much surprise, but she no longer tried to use the concept of "moment" to restrict the other party, but turned the distance between herself and the other party into " forever".

Then she raised her head proudly: "Irreverent, what are you trying to do?"

Mu Xiuxiu was staring at the dim light curtain around him, thoughtful.It seems that this is really the light of the soul, and the real ability seems to be related to "time", otherwise it would not be really inspired by Penglaishan Huiye's ability to actively fight.

But what he really struggles with is, is it possible for him to have the aptitude to personalize the light of the soul at the fourth-level elementary stage that has not yet been fully obtained?It is understandable to use it initially as a defense, but depending on the situation, it seems that the distance from complete personalization is very fast!
What's more, this kind of power is said to be sleeping deep in the soul, but it is often triggered by an extremely strong will or obsession. When did I...

His mind was in a mess, and Mu Xiu, who was still thinking wildly, heard the girl's cold voice, raised his head and returned to reality, and immediately twitched the corners of his mouth.

"...Isn't it what you want to do?"

"My concubine lived here before you, and all her actions were just to avoid and protect herself."

Penglai Shanhuiye frowned imperceptibly, looked at the other person's expression, and then said: "On the contrary, you have been staying here since you heard about my concubine's deeds, even if I have avoided you many times You came to the door... Don't you have bad intentions?"

"..."

The corner of Mu Xiu's mouth twitched a few times, it seemed that it was true.He ignored this detail, and always felt that he had never met this princess before, so he thought it was the first time he met her.

However, in fact, since the other party always avoids me, they must be well aware of my several visits. It is estimated that the first impression was not very good at first.

"...This, in fact, is like this..."

After hesitating for a while, quickly thinking about various reasons in his mind, Mu Xiu subconsciously took a step forward, and then found that the distance between himself and the long, black girl standing by the lake hadn't changed at all.Because the eternal power just now worked directly on him, but now the relative distance between the two has become "eternal".

Mu Xiu's inner light defense can only ensure that he will not be easily affected, there is no way to do more.

However, at this moment, there was a sound behind him, and Mu Xiu subconsciously kept silent. Looking back, he saw the old man Sanzaki Zomaro walking over while panting and leaning on a cane. Yuan's expression seemed to be very surprised.

"...You, what are you doing here? Old man, I just said why I woke up, and the old woman said you were not in the room over there..."

"Zaoma Lu, you don't have to worry too much, this is just a matter between the concubine and this Your Excellency... You should go back and rest first!"

Horai Shan Kaguya frowned, never thinking that Taketori Ong would run over at this time.She understood that this was because she had just fallen back into this world from "forever", and the old couple noticed at that time.

But the current situation is not so good no matter what, what if the dangerous person facing him directly tears off his face and grabs the hostage?
Mu Xiu didn't act like that, he just blinked his eyes with interest, and found that the legend of "The Tale of Bamboo Tori" is really quite different from the reality.It seems that this Kaguya Hime and Taketori Ong are not a father-daughter relationship, but more like a peculiar relationship of mutual respect.

Horai Shan Kaguya maintained a respectful attitude towards Taketori, but he did not call him his father. Although Sanuki old man did not use an honorific title, he inevitably showed a kind of respect for Horai Shan Kaguya in his words a feeling of.

Like family members but not family members, like masters and servants but not masters and servants.
