second to none

Chapter 34

When Yuan Zhong opened his eyes, the sky was already covered with big and gorgeous sunset glow.

He leaned on the wooden table and raised his head slightly. Tan Yin was sitting beside him, lowering his head to carve a simple wooden bracelet with a carving knife. The fluff and the loose hair falling around her neck make her look less like a high-ranking goddess.

Yuan Zhong stared at her for a long time, then suddenly stretched out his hand, as if tentatively, gently stroked her snow-white face, the skin touched by his fingertips was slightly cool and soft.

"Are you awake?" Tan Yin was still concentrating on carving the bracelet without raising her head.

Yuan Zhong saw that she had a 15-year-old face, but she spoke and acted as if she was 80 years old. It's not the appearance of those well-educated ladies, but boring, and occasionally stupid, he couldn't help laughing.

"How old are you?" He asked in a low voice, his voice still languid and sleepy.

Tan Yin didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, and immediately buried himself in the calculations: "17 years as a mortal, 410 years of living soul wandering in the mortal world after death, 510 years of becoming a god... Well, the total is..."

"Old woman." Yuan Zhong immediately drew her conclusions without waiting for her to finish the calculation.

She didn't know how to get rid of her title of "old lady", so she just stared at him blankly, his beautiful eyes were full of smiles, maybe he had just woken up, the black and white pupils had a kind of wet aura, Long and thick eyelashes, warm, charming, and an inexplicable temptation.

"Tan Yin." He called her in a low voice.

"……Um?"

"Don't go anymore." He flicked her forehead, "I won't wait again next time."

Tan Yin felt that she was about to be seduced by the vivid and mysterious color in his eyes, she said lightly: "Then... where are you going?"

He smiled: "I won't tell you."

She wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say. The delicate charcoal in the brazier was burning vigorously, with a secret and sweet smell, and she had a comfortable feeling that her whole body was soaked in warm water. Taihe is far away from her, so far away that only Yuanzhong's voice, Yuanzhong's breath, thousands of mountains and evening snow, prehistoric world, only her and him.

He took the bracelet in his hand to play with. This wooden bracelet is really not exquisite, it is made of camphor wood, with four grooves dug on it, inlaid with four transparent and flawless crystals the size of fingernails. I don’t know if this crystal has been made before. What processing, emits a faint white light, other than that, there is nothing special about it.

"What is this?" Yuan Zhong thought she had done something weird again.

Tan Yin took the bracelet, polished the rough wood smooth, took out a handkerchief and wiped it clean, and then put it on her wrist. The faint light that permeated her body immediately subsided, and the divine power that made him feel kind and awe disappeared instantly. At this moment, Ji Tanyin is like the most ordinary mortal.

"If you walk around outside, this is to avoid being noticed." She smiled. "Actually, after becoming a god, I shouldn't have any contact with the mortal world. I violated many precepts."

Yuan Zhong sneered: "What commandments, what can't be in contact with the mortal world, there used to be foxes and war ghosts, and they are still tribes that serve the gods."

"That was in ancient times." Tan Yin shook her head, "After the Great War between Gods and Demons, everything is different."

Yuan Zhong supported his head, interested: "Tell me about the God Realm, how did you become a God?"

Become a god?Tan Yin smiled: "At that time, I didn't think I would become a god..."

She was the last living member of the craftsman Ji's family. After her death, the Ji family was completely extinct.Her living soul could not cross the Naihe Bridge, and she wandered around her corpse for several days, meeting many people, those rich and wealthy royal families who had spent tens of thousands of gold to buy an exquisite house, those neighbors who usually get along well, everyone They were all talking about the fact that the Ji family was condemned by the heavens, because all the things they made were against the sky, so they died of terminal illness, and even the youngest she was not spared.

Maybe she couldn't cross the Naihe Bridge and was forced to wander in the mortal world, and she was also being punished by God, so what about her father?What about other ethnic groups?Do you also wander the world with your soul like her and find no peace?

In the beginning, her living soul was trapped in Ji's old house, unable to leave a distance of several feet, and hid in the shadows all day long. If the sun shines on her body, she will feel as painful as being thrown into a raging fire.The living soul is in a daze and does not know the age, and gradually, she can leave the old house, and gradually, she can appear in the sun, and can manipulate small stones, small branches and other things with her thoughts.

Under the ruins of Ji's old house, she used branches to draw countless ideas in the ashes. She wanted to make too many things. She was not afraid of death, and death could not erase her love for craftsmen.

Until one day, she suddenly felt enlightened, a golden light fell from the zenith, and the god of origin summoned her to the upper realm, and she was endowed with a godhead, becoming a unparalleled craftsman and a unparalleled goddess.

"When I first went to the Realm, I didn't know anyone. I ran around in the God Realm, came to the Tianhe River, and met... um..." Tan Yin stopped suddenly. For some reason, she didn't want to mention it to Yuan Zhong. Regarding the Taihe matter, she avoided the Taihe section with a guilty conscience, and began to say: "There is gold sand in the Tianhe River, and I took the Tianhe gold sand, so the first thing I made after going to the realm was the concentric mirror. I saw it in the imperial mausoleum last time." the one."

Yuan Zhong didn't notice the slight pause in her words just now: "Are there many gods in the God Realm? You just mentioned the Yuansheng God, what is that?"

Tan Yin said with a smile: "There were quite a lot of gods and goddesses at that time, but the God Realm is vast and cold, and everyone performs their own duties. It is common for hundreds of years not to see each other. As for the Yuansheng God, I actually don't know much about it. They are different from gods and goddesses like us, they should be regarded as real gods. When I went to the world, all I saw were balls of warm and majestic golden light. Those are the primordial gods. ..."

She was originally a mortal, and her understanding of the gods was the same as all the legends in the world. They should all be beautiful and powerful, but the existence of the gods of origin broke all her previous understandings.

They...or should use the word them.

They don't have human bodies, they are just clusters of soft light-like existence. Later, she understood that the gods of origin are the existence of individual thoughts, unlike the gods and goddesses, who still retain traces of "human beings", they have nothing. remain.

They don't have the kind of communication that people usually understand, or in other words, at the level of gods, kings and goddesses, they still can't fully understand the existence of the primordial gods.

Tan Yin stopped suddenly. There was a flash of light in her mind. For some reason, thinking of the form of the god of origin, she also thought of the body of the gods and goddesses that turned into transparent light chips when they fell, and then she couldn't help but think of Han. The human calamity mentioned by the woman seems to indicate the arrival of the human calamity when the body of the god begins to perish. What about Taihe?He just lost his left hand, but there was no trace of dying. Why did he sleep?
Tan Yin fell into deep thought. She felt as if she had grasped some clues, but the connection between them was too vague. She didn't have those spiritual intuitions. The craftsman's thinking was always step by step. I can't blame Taihe for saying that she doesn't look like a girl. .

"What are you thinking about?"

Yuan Zhong put his face in front of her, the tip of his nose was almost touching hers, she was startled, and her body suddenly fell back, the flash of inspiration just now was frightened away, and she completely forgot about it.

Yuan Zhong smiled maliciously at her while holding his face, and said slowly: "There is no vigilance at all."

Tan Yin blushed, stood up suddenly, and stammered, "Well, it's getting late, I'm going back to my room, you, you should go to bed early."

He chuckled: "I just woke up, why are you still resting?"

He just likes to see her look at a loss sometimes, she can't speak completely, and she tries to put on a calm expression, which makes her look not like a high-ranking goddess at all.Many times, he couldn't tell whether he liked the cold eyes on the high platform, or the mortal Ji Tanyin.In fact, they were one person, he had known for a long time, but during the time he didn't know, Ji Tanyin, that stupid, stupid mortal, was already unique to him.

Yuan Zhong wanted to say something more, but suddenly the door was carefully knocked twice, Yuan Xiaozhong whispered softly, revealing an obscene energy, and asked with a smile outside the door: "Master, Da Zhong, you... cough cough , Your um, um, day is over, is it over? Do you want to eat something to replenish your body, and then continue?"

Tan Yin, a stupid girl, obviously didn't understand the obscene meaning in his tone, and opened the door for him quickly. Yuan Xiaozhong stood at the door, holding a tray in his hand, with his neck stretched out, and his eyes scrambling into the room. Taking a glance, he saw the neat and tidy beds where no one had slept in, and he rolled Yuan Zhong's eyes in disgust.

"Black-bone Chicken and Turtle Soup!" He handed the tray to Tan Yin, raising his voice on purpose, "Make it up for someone! If you have the heart but not the guts!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Yuan Zhong holding a small wooden stick and walking towards him with a murderous look, he was so frightened that he ran downstairs and shouted: "Da Zhong, I am doing it for your own good! You don't know the heart of a good organ man!"

Yuan Zhong slammed the door hard, and continued to stare murderously at the tray in Tan Yin's hand, on which were two water-rippled porcelain soup clocks, probably the black-bone chicken and turtle soup he was talking about.

Tan Yin put the tray on the wooden table, opened the lid, and the fragrance overflowed. Yuan Xiaozhong's craftsmanship surprised her, the owner.She turned her head to greet Yuan Zhong: "Come, have some soup."

Yuan Zhong glanced at Tang Zhongli, his expression changed suddenly, he pushed open the door, turned into a golden light and rushed towards the lake, the poor old turtle probably sensed his coming, and burst into the water with tears streaming down his face. He stretched out a front leg, and sure enough, a large piece of flesh was cut off on it.It gently bumped Yuanzhong's leg with its head, motioning him to look into the Xiexiang forest.

Yuan Zhong couldn't bear to look at it. There were more than a dozen cranes in the Xiexiang Forest, and they were the fairy gifts given to him by the owner of Xiangtuo Mountain last time... Needless to say, the black-bone chickens in the black-bone chicken and turtle soup must be the cranes he raised.

He felt dizzy for a while.

"What's the matter?" Tan Yin, who didn't know where he was, chased him out and asked repeatedly.

Yuan Zhong turned around and suddenly smiled softly at her: "I have to do one thing."

There is a murderous look in this smile!Tan Yin quickly took a step back, and watched him turn into golden light and rush towards the small building, with a cold voice: "Yuan Xiaozhong! Come out!"
