In ancient times, monsters were rampant, disasters and desolations, the lives of the world were devastated, and the people were not able to make a living. Even if there are some capable people who have mastered the ancient secret art to fight against these demons, there are many demons, and most of them were born at the time of Hongmeng, and their cultivation is profound, their strength is strong, and they are irresistible.

One day, the immortals of the fairy world for some purpose, descended a secret island on the sea side of the Dongfang Qin Island in the mortal world.

On the day of the arrival of the secret island, a large number of immortals appeared in the Nine Heavens and the earth, and Edgeworth was born, roaming all over the mortal realm like a swarm of locusts transiting, slaying demons and subduing fierce beasts. The demon beasts in the world disappeared in just a few decades, and then the immortals flew to the immortal realm and never appeared again.

Since then, the human world has rarely been affected by demon beasts, and capable people and strangers have also retired to the world. For hundreds of years, the wind and rain in the mortal world have been smooth, and human beings have lived and worked in peace and contentment, just like a peaceful and prosperous world.

After another hundred years, a monk suddenly appeared on the seashore of the Eastern Continent, this monk claimed to be a messenger sent by the fairy world, because of the emptiness of the immortal position in the heavenly court, he hereby went down to the people who were destined to become immortals and share the Shangyuan immortal world.

If you ask, how do you count as having a fate, and how can you attain enlightenment?

Fang Shi raised his hand and pointed and said: "Facing the direction of the sun, walk to the end of the road, cross the fierce water and blue sea, or there is an island, which is called immeasurable." If you meet it, you will be ranked in the immortal class and drink with the immortals. ”

All beings in the mortal realm are addicted to the words of the priests, and they are convinced of this. For a time, the mortal realm set off a frenzy of going to the East China Sea to find the immeasurable realm.

It's just that, for hundreds of years, none of the people who went to find the Immeasurable Realm have returned. People have speculated that these people may have been swallowed by the sea, or they may have really entered the immeasurable realm and become immortals.

However, these are only speculations after all, and no one can confirm them.

As more and more people go and never return, some smart people find that there seems to be clues in it, and some people boldly point out that the so-called immeasurable realm is a big lie!

The sudden appearance of such remarks seemed to make people sober up a little. Is it worth abandoning one's wife and children and one's life to find the unproven island of immortals? So many mortals hesitated in their hearts and did not dare to go there easily.

It's just that everyone in the world has the natural instinct to say that grapes are sour when they can't eat grapes, and when they don't dare to look for it, they don't want others to find the legendary fairy island. So those who didn't dare to venture into danger to find the immeasurable realm made up another statement: "To the east of the Qinhai Sea, there may be an island of lies, which appears once in a thousand years, and those who see it avoid it." ”

As a result, the Immortal Island Infinite Realm has become what people call the "Lying Island of the Border Sea", which is a lie deliberately made up by demons on the sea to lead people to eat people.

But is this statement true or false? No one knows.

There are two kinds of people in the world, one kind of life is blessed by God, blessed by the body, rich and noble in life, and the family and things are prosperous if they are not good, this kind of person will naturally choose to believe in the second statement to comfort himself. But there is another kind of person, who is fatally ruined, haunted by evil spirits, the light one is poor, and the most serious one is ruined, this kind of person often chooses to believe the first statement, and takes his life as the last gamble, hoping to regain his life.

About a thousand years later.

In a fishing village on Qin Island in the East China Sea, there is a family surnamed Chi Miao, who is in charge of the family, has an old mother, and a virtuous wife, who makes a living by fishing all day long.

It is also strange to say that almost all the people in the fishing village make a living from fishing, and everyone can live a life of food and clothing, except for the four walls of Chi Miao's family.

Every time Chi Miao saw someone else put away a fishing net full of seafood, he felt a huge sense of frustration. Looking at the empty net he took back every time, he could only complain that it must be heaven working against him.

Seeing his wife's belly gradually bulging, and the family did not even have enough food, Chi Miao sat on his fishing boat and sighed silently every day.

One day, Chi Miao returned home and found that her old mother suddenly suffered from a cold illness and was dying.

Chi Miao hurriedly went out to find a doctor, but the doctor wanted to charge five hundred shells of silver, and Chi Miao couldn't take it out at all, so he begged the doctor to help heal first, and the money could be made up later.

The healer shook his head slightly, Chi Miao knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and as a man, he cried urgently.

Unmoved, however, the healer took a sip of tea and waved his hand at Chi Li, telling him to let him scrape together enough money to come back.

When Chi Miao returned home disheartened, his old mother was already lying motionless on the bed, no longer alive. Chi Li shook his old mother's cold hand and shed unwilling tears again.

After burying her old mother, Chi Miao decided to find another way out.

He found an open piece of land in the back mountain and reclaimed it to grow food.

Originally, he wanted to focus on farming, supplemented by fishing, but fishing was never harvested as always, but the seedlings planted in his field grew as long as possible, so he completely gave up fishing and devoted himself wholeheartedly to farming.

Seeing the seedlings she had worked so hard to plant slowly sprout and eventually produce food, Chi Miao's heart was full of hope.

However, the heavens always disobey people's wishes, and the storm for several days destroyed all the seedlings planted by Chi Miao.

Chi Miao knelt on the land, looking at the mess in front of him, his heart almost collapsed.

When he returned home before he could tell his wife the sad news, his wife suddenly had a pain in her abdomen, and when she looked down, her water had broken and she was about to give birth.

The clouds in the sky were getting darker and darker, the wind was getting stronger, and the occasional flash of thunder lit up the sky. Chi Miao stood anxiously outside the crumbling broken door.

With another thunderclap in the sky, the cry of a baby was finally heard in the house.

But then, the midwife's voice came from the house: "Demon, monster!"

Then the midwife ran out of the house in terror.

Before Chi Miao's joy could rise to her face, she was replaced by doubt. He hurried into the house, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a scene that made him grief-stricken.

His wife's lower body was soaked in blood, her face was pale and expressionless, her mouth was slightly open, her eyes were wide, and she was obviously dead.

He hugged his wife and wailed, when suddenly a baby's cry pulled him out of the pain of losing his beloved wife, and he looked up left and right, and finally followed the sound to find the baby wrapped in a quilt in the corner.

He carefully picked up his child, lifted the quilt and saw that where was the baby, this was clearly an old man the size of a baby!

Looking at the white-haired, wrinkled, and tooth-decaying baby in his arms, Chi Miao knelt on the ground and cried out: "What a cruel God! What kind of sin have I done to treat me like this!"

The clouds in the sky still rolled, the lightning still flashed, and the wind still howled, as merciless as the healer.

Three years later, the cloaked Chi Miao put the trembling Chi Li from the bed to the ground, he looked at his son for a long time, and then touched the dry white hair on Chi Li's head and said: "My son, your mother lost her life for you, and I have endured these three years of suffering for you, so it is reasonable that we don't owe you any more." Now you can walk, although, although it is difficult to live, but this is your life. ”

Chi Miao looked down at herself and continued: "It's fate, you have to admit it." I'm going to leave here early tomorrow morning. ”

Who knew that the three-year-old, old man-like Chi Li was very calm, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are you going?"

Chi Miao turned her head to look at the sky in the distance and said, "Lying Island in the sea." ”

Chi Li nodded slightly.

When the bright moon was hanging high that night, Chi Miao took advantage of Chi Li's sleep to slowly walk to Chi Li's bed and squat, he looked at Chi Li's delicate body and old face, and couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes. After a long time, Chi Miao got up and walked out of the door.

In the darkness, Chi Li opened his eyes and stared at the roof vacantly, until he heard the sound of the door closing, he closed his eyes again and went back to sleep.

The next day, Chi Li sat up from the bed with difficulty, and he slowly moved to the door step by step, pushed open the wooden door, and watched a red sun slowly rise on the sea level.

Chi Li looked in that direction for a long time, and he silently wrote down in his heart that it was the direction his father left.

Chi Li's father left him alone in the fishing village, and the old woman who delivered Chi Li's mother knew about it and kindly adopted him.

Ten years later, Chi Li's body slowly grew up, and he was already like a normal old man, and even seemed to be a lot younger, from the appearance of being eighty or ninety years old when he was born, to the appearance of more than seventy years old.

When Chi Li was seventy years old, he was a handsome young man of twenty years old. Chi Li knows that other people's lives are a river from top to bottom, going lower and lower, while he himself is going higher and higher from the bottom up.

When Chi Li was eighty years old, he married a girl from the village. But when his wife slowly changed from a young and beautiful girl to an old woman with a long body, he was still twenty years old.

When Chi Li was one hundred and fifty years old, his old wife lay on the bed and stroked Chi Li's bright silver hair with her hand and said, "I really envy you, you can be young and energetic forever." ”

Chi Li said expressionlessly: "If I can, I am willing to exchange with you." ”

A flash of light suddenly flashed in his wife's dim eyes: "Don't you want me to leave?"

"No, I mean I envy you just as much, you can be born, old, sick and die like normal people. ”

The wife smiled bitterly and said in a weak voice: "I, I've spent a lifetime still not being able to warm up your piece of ice." ”

Chi Li didn't react.

The wife said, "Well, I just want to ask you one last question, what will happen to you if I die?"

Chi Li said expressionlessly: "Bury you and continue to live." ”

The wife nodded thoughtfully: "I don't blame you, you shouldn't belong to this world, I'm very satisfied to be able to accompany you for so many years." Goodbye"

After saying that, she slowly closed her eyes.

After burying his wife, Chili bought a fishing boat and sailed alone in the direction of the rising sun, in the direction of his father. He knew that there was an island, that there was a different world, and that that was where he really belonged.

The legend of the Infinite Realm and the Lying Island of the Border Sea was temporarily put aside, and between the exchange of the sun and the moon, the world gradually forgot about it, and only a few people passed it on as a secret. Again, it begins thousands of years later.
