In the eternal winter in the north, the bones of monsters are buried.
The war between humans and monsters a hundred years ago left behind scorched earth and countless innocent souls. Priest Jing'e was drunk and Ciqing, dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe, covered with the fragrance of pine smoke and ink, and walked in the formation in this chilling place. He is a pure mortal, but he holds the authority to guard the evil spirits in the world; he is about to expire, but he always calculates variables that should not exist when deducing star trajectories.
This time, the variable is Yan Zhan.
Deep in the barren mountains, Shen Ciqing encountered a bloody fight. The young man with red hair like blazing flames, golden eyes that turned into vertical lights, and carrying the nine-ringed sword "Swallowing the Sun" was devouring the demon pill in an almost self-destructive manner. In order to avenge the blood of his parents, he swallowed the enemy's demon pills alive one by one, but as a result, he was on the verge of losing control and became the "junk-breaking evil star" that everyone feared.
At that moment, Shen Ciqing should have turned around and left. But he stretched out his hand, using the judge's pen as a lock and himself as a matchmaker, and forcefully pulled the rampaging beast back from the edge of hell.
"From today on, I will follow you."
"As you wish."
A simple conversation established a long-term bond.
Shen Ciqing's residence was no longer clean. That half-demon who was illiterate and had a hot temper could not only tear the demon clan into pieces on the martial arts field, but also curl up beside his bed like a large dog after waking up from nightmares in the middle of the night, mutely asking for a reassuring touch. Shen Ciqing thought he was noisy and dirty, but tolerated his transgressions time and time again, even going so far as to extend his short lifespan to stabilize his demonic aura and tamper with the way of heaven for him.
He looked at everything in the world with a cold eye, except Yan Zhan, who was the only one who looked away.
However, Jingesi is not a pure land, and the undercurrent of the capital is also surging. The conflict between the three demon pills in Yan Zhan's body intensified day by day, and the candlelight of Shen Ciqing's longevity lamp became weaker and weaker. When the former enemy reappeared, and when Yan Zhan finally realized that Shen Ciqing was "breaking his life" for him, the knife that usually only wagged its tail at him finally revealed its most ferocious fangs.
He wants to kill everyone in the world who has failed him, and he also wants to keep the person who wants to lead him to "live a good life".
This is a game about domestication and redemption.
Shen Ciqing thought he had picked up a hurtful knife, but in the end he discovered that it was the fire that illuminated the last days of his life.
Yan Zhan thought he had found a mortal to rely on, but in the end he discovered that he was a god worthy of protecting him throughout his life.
Farewell to the barren mountains is already an old dream.
As long as that person is still there, he will always be the crazy critic who is only willing to show his belly to him, and the only obedient knife in his sleeve.
Purpose: live a good life
