Chapter 3 The king is called Shali
The moon is bright in the sky, the sea breeze is blowing, and the waves are turbulent.
A cloaked black shadow jumped on the rocks, looking like a man. He was extremely agile and agile, and in a few clicks he was on the beach. The man stood on the beach for a few breaths, looked left and right, saw nothing unusual, and began to walk towards the island.
As soon as he took the third step, he suddenly felt a chill above his head. The intense life-and-death crisis forced him to react almost instantaneously, jumping backwards with a sharp leap.
A long sword glittering with cold light flew down from the sky and stuck straight into the place where the man was standing. The strong force was not hindered by the sand in the slightest, and the blade of the sword went straight into the sand, leaving only the hilt outside.
"Go any further, and you'll die!"
A majestic male voice made the man in black in a cloak look up. Under the moonlight, a man dressed in the costume of Qiyuan Island was staring at him, his expression was very cold.
"Who are you, and why did you come to my Qiyuan Island?" or ......?"
The island guard man's eyes were cold, and his tone gradually became sharper.
"You are originally from the island, what is the matter with leaving the island?"
The man in black apparently didn't want to answer the island guard's question. His figure flashed, and he was about to flee from his left side.
"I'm going to let you escape, do I want to be embarrassed?"
The island guard man stretched out his left hand, and the long sword that had been inserted in the sand flew back into his hand.
"Raging Sea Shark!"
With a soft shout, a dazzling white light appeared from the sword in his hand, and then quickly amplified, finally turning into a shark with sharp teeth, flying towards the man in black who was fleeing.
The white light shark gradually expands during the attack. When he approached the man in black, his huge mouth full of sharp teeth could completely swallow the man directly.
Sensing the approaching attack behind him, the man in black not only did not dodge, but suddenly turned around, facing the giant shark, stretched out his hands, palms down.
"Sea of sand!"
With the man's soft thought, a sandstorm broke out around him, quickly converging into a sea of sand in mid-air, trapping the white light shark.
Immediately after, the man in black turned his hands into fists.
"Sand Gathering!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sea of sand surrounding the giant shark quickly condensed, and finally formed a huge ball of sand.
The white light giant shark, which was already trapped, slowly dissipated in the sand ball until it completely disappeared. The sand ball fell, turning back into a pile of loose sand.
Seeing the giant shark being destroyed, the sword-wielding island guard's heart sank. The strength of the man in black in front of him may still be above him.
But where the duty lies, he can't retreat. He slowly raised the long sword in his hand and pointed at the bright moon in the sky.
"Ten Thousand Blades Descend from the Sky!"
With his loud shout, countless lightsabers flew down from the air towards the man in black, dense and dense, making it impossible for people to dodge at all.
But the man in black apparently didn't intend to dodge either. He pinched a mark with both hands at the same time, then pointed to the ground with his left hand and the sky with his right.
"Immeasurable Cliffs!"
With a soft snort, a spherical barrier appeared out of thin air, enveloping it tightly.
Ten thousand swords stabbed down in the air, but none of them could penetrate the barrier he had built.
"Do you want to continue?"
The man in black spoke slowly, but he was extremely hoarse, I don't know if he was born like this, or deliberately covered it up.
The island guard man did not speak, holding a long sword, gathering all his strength.
At this moment, under the moonlight, he and the sword seemed to have a magical resonance. He is the sword, and the sword is him, and he and the sword are tightly fused.
The man in black's expression began to become solemn, and there was nothing else in his eyes at this moment. It was as if there was only one sword left in front of him between heaven and earth, a sword that might kill him. He mobilized all his strength, condensed it on his right hand, and formed a claw in his right hand, ready to attack.
In this blow, either the island guard man was pierced by a sharp claw, or the man in black was dismembered by a sharp sword.
The island guard man moved, and with his sword, with his island guard glory, stabbed at the man in black.
The cold light flashed, and the two stood with their backs up. Blood dripped from the sword of the island guard man.
"It's you! It's you...... Why ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the island guard had fallen, and a bloody hole pierced through his chest.
The man in black stood beside the island guard and was silent for a long time.
No one would have thought that this duel that no one knew about would be the prelude to the bloody storm on this island that has been peaceful for thousands of years.
The home of the girl Kaifeng, the eighth day of the awakening of the naked man she picked up.
"Lulu, go and call your brother back, it's time to eat!"
Kaifeng set up the utensils and smiled warmly at the little furry beast that was quietly at her feet.
The beast is covered with light brown fluff all over its body, and only a small part of its abdomen is snow-white. The oval size, if it weren't for the fact that it has a pair of large fan-like ears, would really look like a living meat egg.
However, it is extremely eloquent. When the maiden shouted at it, a man stood up. After listening to the girl's instructions, her round eyes flashed extremely humanely, and then she changed from a standing posture to a four-legged landing and ran out of the hall.
Soon, the little beast returned, followed by a pale, short-haired boy.
"You're back, it's time to eat. β
The girl placed the food utensils and smiled at the man, and the pear vortex appeared.
Although the boy had seen the girl's smile many times in the past eight days, he would always look at her smile every time.
"Are you going to the beach again?"
The gentle and concerned voice came from the first seat. If there were people here, it would be hard to believe that such a heartwarming voice came from an old woman whose head was full of silver threads.
"I still haven't remembered anything?"
The boy shook his head slightly, slightly disappointed.
"Then don't think about it yet, baby. β
The boy looked at the girl. Little baby is the name of the girl in front of him for these days.
He woke up eight days ago and lost all his memories. All the people, things, things, and words are taught to him little by little by the girl.
When he made a mistake, the girl always patted him on the back of the head gently, and then puffed out half of her cheeks, as if she was angry: "The baby is so stupid, and he can't remember!"
The situation of the teenager at that time was indeed no different from that of the first baby.
The girl also looked at the boy. In the past half a month, she has taken care of the teenager in front of her almost like a mother, although the teenager may be older than her.
Being a mother seems to be the underlying nature of all women, and sometimes the actions of teenagers can make her crazy. But now that I think about it, it is the unforgettable beauty of those days as a 'mother'.
"Kaifeng, you told me that everyone has a name, right?"
After the boy sat down, he lowered his head and pondered for a few breaths, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"Yes, and everyone should have a name. β
The girl also came back to her senses from the memories.
"Kaifeng, Lulu, and Granny Xue Qi, you all have names. β
The young man's expression darkened.
"But I didn't, I didn't know who I was. β
After hearing this, the girl's face froze.
For all this time, she has been calling the man in front of her 'little baby'. Although it is a girl's naΓ―ve joke, it is also a helpless move.
She didn't know the boy's name, and although she had thought about giving him a name herself, she thought it was a big deal after all.
Her name was given to her by her deceased mother, like the last gift from her mother, who had lost her voice forever in her life before she could remember her voice.
"Kaifeng, you...... Can you help me pick a name? I want a name. β
The boy looked at the girl with longing in his eyes.
The girl's jade-like little hands were clenched tightly, and there was a glimmer in her starry eyes, and anyone knew her mood at the moment.
"Are you really willing to let me name you? This may be an eternal symbol engraved on you. β
"I want this symbol. β
The teenager did not hesitate.
The girl glanced the boy up and down, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth were raised.
Xue Qi, who was sitting next to her, shook his head helplessly when he saw her like this.
"Naughty ..... again"
"The day I met you, you were naked and standing upside down in the sand. It's better to call it, just call it ......"
The girl paused, and for some reason a pale pink appeared on her face.
"Shali!"
After saying these two words, she stopped speaking, and everyone would think that she was solemn about the matter. But Xue Qi clearly knew that she was holding back so that she wouldn't laugh out loud.
"Shali, Shali, Shali, Shali!"
The boy thought lightly at first, and then couldn't help but shout.
"From now on, my name will be Shari. Thank you, Kaifeng. β
Sha Li's excited hands subconsciously held Kaifeng's soft tightly. For a while, the slippery touch made him feel that his move was not appropriate, so he quickly withdrew his hand.
I could feel the warmth on my palms, but I thought to myself, how nice it would be if I could touch it for a while.
"Well, you finally have a name. It's time for us to eat, you see Lulu is hungry. β
Sha Li turned his head, and sure enough, he found that the little beast was looking at them with its round pale purple nose looking at them with an aggrieved expression.
"Hey, eat. Lulu, it's time to eat. β
"Hmm, hmm......"
Lulu suddenly chirped softly at the triumphant wind.
Kai Feng seemed to think of something, and reached out to take out the dark green oblate brocade stone embedded in the belt around his waist. The Jinshi was flashing with a green light, and it looked rather urgent.
"Isn't there something going on over there on the island guard?" Xue Qi asked softly.
Sha Li also looked at Kaifeng. During this time, he had known that Kai Feng was one of the guardians of this Qiyuan Island. This oblate brocade stone is called 'Hongyin', which is used by the island guards to convey the sound and language.
Kai Feng stretched out his slender jade-white fingers, and a touch of blue light condensed on his fingers, and tapped at the small hole in the center of 'Hongyin'.
"Ding!"
A deep voice rang out.
"Everyone, in a quarter of an hour, assemble at Silver Beach!"
"Ding!"
The sound is cut off.
"The captain rarely summons us at this time, or is it all called, what the hell is this......"
The triumphant wind is faint and the moth is slightly cheeky.
"You'll know when you go, you don't have to think about it. β
Xue Qi's face did not show waves.
"Kaifeng, I'...... I want to go with you. β
Sha Li hesitated, but finally spoke.
"It's not a good place for you to go there. β
Kaifeng then added, "For you. β
"Take him with you. Since it is a gathering on Silver Beach, it is not a formal occasion to come, and Chiping did not say that he would not be allowed to take people there. Besides, it's time for him to meet the others. β
Xue Qi slowly persuaded.
"But ......"
Kaifeng wanted to say something more, but seeing the unconcealed expectation in Sha Li's eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse again.
"Alright then, I'll take you. But you must not leave me, remember?"
"Uh-huh, uh-huh. β
Looking at Sha Li's nod like a green bird pecking at the valley, Kai Feng smiled, this is the most common action Sha Li has done in front of her in the past few days.
Silver Beach is a beach on the west side of Qiyuan Island.
Unlike other beaches, the coastline here is rounded and jutted out to the sea, and the white sand is very white and shining in the sun, which is very conspicuous among the beaches in this area.
In the depths of the Silver Beach, the huge crown of a 10,000-year-old banyan tree sticks out neatly, and the branches and foliage are dense, like a thick round triangular hat, casting a wide shadow under the scorching sun.
A sentry post, standing in the shade of a tree.
Dozens of figures had gathered around the outpost, talking about something.
"Chen, Kaifeng hasn't arrived yet, this is not like her style. β
A man in white with a tall figure spoke to his companion.
"It's also said that Kaifeng is usually the most active, and this kind of thing must be the first to arrive. β
Zhi Yu shrugged his broad and dark shoulders, and also expressed puzzlement, as a partner, he knew Kaifeng's temperament very well.
"I heard that you and Kaifeng picked up a naked man on the beach half a month ago, and Kaifeng took him home?"
The man in white asked with his eyes hanging and a little curiosity.
"Not bad. At that time, the man's whole body was stuck upside down in the sand, and it took me a lot of effort to pull it out.
The guy was unconscious at the time, and there was no way to hand him over to the Island Palace, so Kaifeng sent him to her house. β
"It's also pitiful, this guy slept for five days and four nights, and when he woke up, he had no memory and couldn't even speak. β
Kaifeng could only teach him to speak and read and take care of him. I went to Kaifeng to carry out the patrol of the island, and I met him. Speaking ......"
"How?"
The man in white looked at Zhi Yu's somewhat strange expression and couldn't help but ask.
"That guy is called, baby. β
"Little baby, heh, it's really in line with Kaifeng's temperament. β
The man in white smiled and shook his head.
"What are you two muttering?"
A faint fragrant breeze wafted in, and the two men who were talking turned around at the same time.
A pale blue figure stood vividly on the silver sparkling beach. Simple and capable short ice blue hair, porcelain muscles that bully frost and snow, phoenix eyes as bright as morning stars, and pear vortex appear at the corners of the mouth.
Although the slightly rounded chin still has a bit of a girl's youthful childishness, the light that flashes on its body is no less than the empty Haori.
"Kaifeng, you're finally here, hehe. β
He hurried towards Kaifeng, followed by the man in white.
"Little Kaifeng, Xiao Nizi has really grown up. I can't say that I have to hurry up and ask my mother to find Dr. Xue for marriage, it's too late. β
The man in white laughed at Kaifeng half-playfully, and the corner of his eye glanced at Cheng next to him from time to time.
Sure enough, Zhi Yu's face was already full of black lines at this time, although he was black himself.
"It's beautiful to think, I won't marry you old man. Hmph!"
Kai Feng seemed to pout at the man in white with disgust.
"Old man?" "This time it was the turn of the man in white with black lines on his face, "I'm only three years older than you, okay?"
"Hahaha, hahaha......"
The man on the side was already laughing and couldn't close his legs.
"This ...... Is that you, baby?"
Sha Li, who was standing next to Kai Feng, finally caught the attention of the man in white, and he also vaguely guessed the reason why Kai Feng had slowed down.
"His name is Shari now. Kaifeng made a serious face, "Also, little baby, I can only call alone." β
"Shali, this guy is also a brother who has played with me since childhood. β
Kai Feng casually introduced the man in white to Sha Li.
"What do you mean by brothers, we're obviously childhood sweethearts, okay?"
The man in white seemed to dislike this introduction.
"That's right, the brother of the childhood sweetheart. β
Kaifeng tilted his face slightly.
Ever since he came to this beach, he had noticed the man in white.
The long body is as tall as the skull. The hanging Danfeng eyes, the hanging hook nose, and the ink folding fan in his hand are really elegant and noble. Hearing about his concern with Kaifeng, I naturally regarded him as the same as Cheng Feng in my heart.
"In Xia Shali, I haven't asked Your Excellency for your surname. β
"Poof!"
Before the man in white could answer, Zhi Yu was already laughing out loud.
"Kaifeng, you taught these words, right?"
"I, no. Don't talk nonsense, he learned by himself. β
Kaifeng was visibly depressed.
The man in white was also dumbfounded.
"Under the exemption of Gao's surname Luo. As for the name, ahem, Brother Sha will know it in the future. β
The man in white snorted a haha.
"His name is Rosso. β
Kai Feng couldn't hold back a laugh, and deliberately pronounced the name quickly and very lightly.
"Verbosity? Well, I wrote it down below. β
Ever since he read the Book of Rites in the Spring and Autumn Period, Sha Li has been acting according to the above statements, and has often corroborated the people and events in his life with what he said in the books.
However, he still felt a little strange about the name of the man in white, why did it sound a little strange.
"It's not verbose, it's Rosso. β
The man in white was a little crazy, and his elegant and noble image was instantly disillusioned.
"Poof!"
Before Sha Li could answer, Zhi Yu had already laughed out of the sound of killing pigs.
"Alright, you don't ramble anymore, rambling. β
"Boom!"
Rosso was still about to argue, but the deafening roar was already heard.
"It's the Golden Snail, it seems that there is really something important to explain. β
Kai Feng's expression was solemn, as did Rosso and Zhi Yu on the side.
Following the roar of the horn, everyone present quickly focused their eyes on the outer railing on the second floor of the outpost.
A thin figure appeared in everyone's field of vision. I don't know how long he stood there, maybe because he was taller than the fence, and no one noticed him.
That was Yan Chiping, the head of the first district of the West Island Guard.
After Yan Chiping appeared, his deep and deep voice also sounded.
"All island guards, from today onwards, prepare for war!"
A solemn atmosphere permeated the entire Silver Beach.
"The tide of the beast is coming!"
