Forcibly asking for things that are destined not to belong to oneself is a disease, a disease that eats people like poison. Sickness seeps into the bones, water cannot be washed away, knives cannot be scraped, and people are tormented and miserable......

******

After a long time, Zitong woke up. The sea beside her was still asleep, his arms across her chest, with a resolute sense of domination, so that she could not move. His heroic sword eyebrows were curved into a slightly gentle shape at the moment, his closed eyes, long eyelashes, high nose bridge, and pursed lips looked very handsome.

went around and around, and finally returned to him, although he was still a little puzzled and a little regretful......

Zi Tong couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, but was caught by a warm big hand.

When he opened his eyes, his eyes were clear: "My dear little girl, do you want to flirt with the boss?" ”

Zitong didn't speak, withdrew his hand, and sat up.

He chuckled and grabbed Zitong's right ankle and pulled it over. Pull a reed from the side and gently sweep it over the instep of her foot with a reed flower.

Listening to Canghai, the reeds around the Lechuan River are the obsession of the soul that refuses to disperse.

The silver glittering reed flowers brushed over the skin, the same as the feeling of obsession, crispy and numb to the bones, a different kind of wonderful taste.

"Let go of my ......" In the interval of low gasping, Zitong begged in a low voice. Biting his lip, his voice was muffled.

……

Canghai chuckled, and simply carried Zitong on his back and walked slowly in the reeds.

Zitong pressed the side face against his thick back, listening to his feet rhythmically step on the weeds on the ground. Like the feeling of a grandfather clock swinging slowly, clicking, clicking, and shaking until the sky is old. Zitong didn't know where he was going to take him, maybe he didn't have a direction at all. But what does it matter, as long as you are with him, what is the difference?

The two wandered together for a long time, and suddenly there was a burst of silk and bamboo music in the distance, mixed with the long chirping of birds.

Zi Tong looked up and followed the sound to find that there was a huge parrot flying in the dark sky. The parrot was red all over, like a layer of flame, and spread its wings to cover a large area of the sky. The parrot had a rein on it, and behind the reins pulled a large red wooden boat. The wooden boat is carved with beams and painted buildings, which is very gorgeous.

"Zitong, stand back......" Canghai put her down and pulled out the knife from the sheath.

After becoming a ghost, Zitong is no longer strange about many things. Even if there was a ship flying in the sky, she calmly flashed behind the sea.

In the blink of an eye, the parrot rushed down at them, swept past them, and then pulled the big red boat, silently levitating in mid-air.

The ship's string baffle was pulled open, and a roll of red light yarn stretched from the direction of the ship's string to Zitong's feet. Then, two figures slowly appeared on the other end of the light veil.

A quiet and beautiful man dressed in a black robe, with delicate facial features and an ice sculpture.

The man was holding a girl in his hand, his long black and bright hair fell straight on the girl's waist, and the goose egg face with a little baby fat was slightly red, looking cute and shy. A pair of peach blossom eyes blinked smartly, eyelashes danced like butterflies, and a cherry-like mouth pursed slightly, as cute as it was.

As soon as the girl saw Zitong, she ran over on the thin light veil and threw herself into her arms at once: "Mom, I miss you so much." ”

Zi Tong was stunned in surprise, when did she become this girl's mother!

However, she and this child just met, I don't know why, she loves this child to the core, it is the kind of love from the heart.

"Good boy, who are you? Why do you call me Mom? Zitong asked softly while touching the girl's head lovingly.

"Mom, I'm Aiwan! Mom doesn't remember me? The girl said coquettishly in Zitong's arms.

This boat is Aiwan's home, which is three stories high.

There are many rooms on it, a small garden on the top floor, and even a large bath full of red lotuses. The servants on the ship were shadow-like black shadows, and their faces were covered with white paper cut out with scissors. Some played music on the deck, while others picked up their belongings and floated around silently.

Looking at it, Zitong's chest was stuffy and painful. Although this ship is gorgeous and there are so many dark shadows playing, it floats coldly above the secluded underworld, and it is not the slightest bit popular. Aiwan is so young, how can she survive living in such a place?

"Aiwan," Zitong couldn't help but ask, "Why do you live here alone, your family?" ”

Aiwan blinked her big flickering eyes: "Family? Mom, don't you live with Dad in the human world? ”

"Aiwan, neither demon nor god, neither ghost nor demon." The man's voice sounded beside him, he raised his hand and stroked Aiwan's head, his eyes flashed with a man's unique forbearance and distress, "I can't tolerate the Three Realms and Six Realms, and I have nowhere to stay." You can only live in the underworld temporarily. ”

Hearing this, Zitong's chest inexplicably felt a tearing pain. She looked at Aiwan's lovely face in a daze, and almost burst into tears: "Why ......?"

Not far away, the sea leaned against the railing of the ship, and snorted coldly: "Just rely on the delusion of the demon corpse to give birth to evil debts." ”

Zi Tong turned his head to look and saw that he was looking at the man with a sneer, without hiding his emotions, Zi Tong was busy thinking about playing a round: "Boss......"

"My lord," the man interrupted Zitong's words, he didn't seem to care about Canghai's contempt, quietly facing Canghai's face, he bowed his head slightly, "Demon corpse Mingyue, there is something to ask for." ”

It turned out that this man was the demon corpse Mingyue.

Mingyue has something to ask for the sea, what will it be?

The men's conversation took place in the living room, and Zitong squatted on the deck to play ball with Aiwan. The poor child had few playmates, and she had a lot of fun despite being a normal game. While playing, she suddenly held the ball and was stunned.

Zitong was very worried, and hurriedly walked over and took her hand to check: "Is it a nail split?" ”

She raised her head and looked at Zitong, wisps of mist appeared in her gorgeous red eyes, and her nose turned red: "Mom, can you stay on the boat all the time." You, Dad, and me, the three of us live happily ever after on board. ”

Promise her, it is bound to disappoint her. Rejecting her will make the child sad again. Zitong was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to speak.

Seeing that Zitong didn't speak, Aiwan's tears finally rolled down: "If Mom doesn't stay, Dad will leave." Back in the human world, Dad will be in danger. ”

Taking a step back, she knelt down on her legs, "Please don't go back to the human world for the sake of your father, if your mother doesn't leave, your father will definitely stay." In the Netherworld, Aiwan's mana can also compete with the python demon. If she goes to the human world, Aiwan is afraid of yang energy, and her strength will not be enough to protect her father. Please Mother do not leave this boat, do not leave the protection of Aiwan. ”

Seeing her perform such a big gift, Zitong was startled. Knowing that it would be rude to help her, he had to kneel down and accept the salute: "Child, what are you talking about?" ”

Aiwan still lowered her head, maintained a saluting posture, and said seriously: "The python demon has reappeared in the human world, if the python demon leaves his current body, he will definitely ask his father for his body." My father is a thousand-year-old demon corpse, and he cannot tolerate heaven and earth. If you are possessed, you will be destroyed. Aiwan, I must protect my father. ”

Zitong's mind went blank: "What?!" ”

was in a daze, but saw Aiwan looking up at her, her face was full of tears: "Is Mother hesitating?" When Aiwan was still in her mother's arms, she saw that her mother and father were very affectionate, and you all loved Aiwan. Why doesn't my mother remember Aiwan and my father now? Why doesn't Mother want us anymore? She finally cried like an ordinary girl, "Mother was with another man just now, and Aiwan and father saw it. Will my mother not care about my father's life or death because of this? ”

There was a mess in her mind, and Zi Tong vaguely understood the meaning of Aiwan's words, but she didn't clearly understand. After thinking about it, she comforted: "Aiwan, I'll go to Mingyue and ask clearly, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to protect Mingyue, okay?" ”

Hearing this, Aiwan suppressed her crying and nodded quickly.

Walking outside the living room, Zitong asked Aiwan to wait outside the door, opened the door and walked in.

Turning around the smoke-like cherry blossom screen at the door, I saw Mingyue and Canghai sitting across the tea table.

I only heard Mingyue say: "The demon corpse is not afraid of death, but the daughter is young." Speaking of this, he suddenly took two steps back, changed his kneeling posture to a kneeling posture, and bowed his upper body deeply: "Please lord, accept Aiwan as a righteous daughter, so that you can take care of it." ”

Picking up the teacup, Canghai took a sip, glanced at me lightly, and then fell back to Mingyue: "I refuse, because there is no reason." ”

Mingyue was silent for a while before explaining to Canghai: "When the python is resurrected, it is necessary to take away Aiwan's mana. The Father wants the Son to die, and the Son has to die. Except for adults, there is no one to trust the demon corpse. ”

Canghai put down the teacup and smiled slightly: "The demon corpse and demon son are filthy, and they should have been annihilated." ”

"Nonsense!" Zitong couldn't help but scream.

Zitong didn't want Mingyue to die, and she didn't want Aiwan to have an accident. That cute child, Zitong would rather block all disasters for her, even if the sea curses her to death.

Canghai glanced at Zitong coldly: "Go out." ”

Although his eyes were very intimidating, Zitong still wanted to fight for Aiwan: "Boss, help them, you are not very ......"

Canghai frowned slightly: "It's none of your business." ”

"Is it really none of my business?"

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing.

Zitong clearly knew that she was Zitong, not Dongfang Piaoxue, nor anyone else. But there are some things that don't exist if she doesn't ignore them, she can pretend to be confused for herself, don't delve into many pasts, and live a simple happy life without heart and lungs. But when it's time to take responsibility, she has to take her responsibility. Aiwan is her responsibility, and she must protect her.

Canghai looked at Zitong, his eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "I called you...... Get out ......."

Even in the face of the vicissitudes of the sea, there are some things that cannot be backed down. Zitong clenched her fists: "I want to protect Aiwan." ”

"It's only been a while...... Canghai's eyes gradually turned cold, and his lips repeated, "It's only been a while......

At this moment, Mingyue jumped up and knocked Zitong down.

The sliding door and the screen exploded to pieces with a bang. The sawdust fragments were like daggers, and the brush brushed around Zitong, and entered the wood for three points.

A thin girl stood in the doorway, wearing a bright red gauze skirt. The hair was tied up high, and the long strands of hair swayed gently in the fierce murderous aura. On his shoulder, he carried a Qinglong Glaive Knife that was more than twice as tall as himself, and his eyes were so red that they were about to drip blood.

"Mom and Dad, don't beg him." She said. As he spoke, the Green Dragon Glaive had already slashed towards the sea sitting at the tea table. It suddenly lengthened in mid-air, turning into a pure red python the size of a bucket, and its fangs were cold and light, crowding the room without any gaps.

There was a loud bang, and the whole ship squeaked and shook violently, and the furniture beams fell to the ground.

Zitong instinctively closed her eyes, only to feel a strong wind surging up and down, hitting her so that even the roots of her teeth were numb, and her head rattled. Suddenly, his body shook lightly, and when he opened his eyes, he shrunk into Mingyue's arms and was already on the deck of the wooden ship.

And the thunder in the sky was like a war drum that broke the sky.

Subconsciously raised his head, and couldn't help but stop breathing, Canghai and Aiwan had already fought in the air.

The red python in Aiwan's hand kept flipping and circling, blocking the figures of the two, and they couldn't see their movements clearly. The swift movements set off a fierce wind of ghosts crying wolf, rolling the silver reeds in the sky into the air, like a goose feather blizzard.

Zitong was worried about the sea and Aiwan, so she quickly jumped out of Mingyue's arms: "Mingyue, go stop them, go and persuade them." ”

Mingyue waved her hand to block a piece of flying wood debris for Zitong, and frowned and looked at the sky: "I, I can't stop it." ”

As soon as Mingyue's words fell, she saw Aiwan jumping high, holding the red python's tail with her right hand and flicking it violently. The red python opened its mouth wide and broke through the air and bit straight down towards the sea.

Fortunately, an incomparably powerful wave of pale silver qi spiraled from Canghai's body, wrapped around his blade, and blocked the red python's mouth with a bang, but his body was carried by the red python and fell straight to the reed ground.

There was a loud thunderclap and dirt splattered.

Zi Tong was stunned, and her body was so cold that she was shocked. Then the tears rolled down, pushed away Mingyue and rushed frantically to the side of the boat: "Boss...... ...... owner"

Ran to the string of the boat and looked down, there was a huge mud pit in the reeds, where could you still see the shadow of the sea,

He's not going to be blown to pieces, is he?

Aiwan sat on the red python with her legs crossed, gently floated above the mud puddle, and showed a pure smile: "Mom, I'm sorry, he's dead." In the future, my mother can only be with me and my father. ”

Zi Tong looked at her from afar, feeling that her head was a mess of twine, as if she was in a nightmare.

Zitong thought that she should resent her, but looking at Aiwan's eyes bent like crescent moons, she couldn't hate her.

Not knowing what to think, she instinctively screamed. With both hands, I climbed over the strings of the boat and wanted to jump down.

was stopped by Mingyue and hugged him: "What are you doing?" ”

Why didn't he let himself jump, why didn't he let himself end this nightmare?

The crazy Zitong roared and struggled like a beast, but it was useless. Mingyue hugged her body tightly, no matter how Zitong grabbed him and kicked him, she didn't say a word.

"Yes, I will be sad for the boss, and the boss is very pleased." A voice came from not far away.

Zi Tong looked up and saw the inky black slender figure standing on the carved eaves on the roof of the wooden boat, his heart beat wildly, and the chaotic nerves quickly returned to their original places: "Boss......"

It's the sea...... He's not dead!

Zitong's nose was sour, and he couldn't help but push Mingyue away and wanted to run towards him.

But the red python fell from the sky again, thinking of lightning and piercing straight to the sea on the roof. However, this time, the sea did not move at all, and the monster-like python was firmly blocked in the air as soon as the knife was horizontal, and even Aiwan, who was floating in the air, was blocked together.

Suddenly, the sound of the strong wind suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings were as quiet as a vacuum.

Immediately, Canghai snorted coldly, and his voice was faint, with a cold breath that penetrated into the bones: "The little girl who can only show off her mana, it's time to make enough." ”

As soon as the words fell, a powerful wave of qi rose from his body again, turning into several strands along the blade, and wrapped around the body of the red python like a snake. Then he twisted it like a meat grinder, and twisted the body of the red python until it fell apart, like pieces of bright red glass shards, which suddenly dispersed in the air.

Then Canghai's figure flashed, and it swirled lightly in front of Aiwan. Like a bullet, Aiwan's body fell heavily on the ship, smashing countless planks into the air.

"Aiwan ......" The voice sounded in her ears, and the bright moon had flashed past. But the black lightning-like shadow had only swept two steps before it was intercepted by a figure, which bounced back heavily and hit the string of the ship, and the whole person was embedded in the side of the ship. He fell to the ground again, spitting out a mouthful of dark purple blood, looking very embarrassed.

Canghai glanced at him, sneered and flicked the ash on his sleeve: "I bumped into you, I'm sorry." His eyes were cold, and the silver-like sword light swept straight towards the bright moon on the ground.

Mingyue lay on the ground and couldn't move, seeing that she was about to be struck by the sword light, when suddenly a red light flashed, hitting the silver light.

The moment the two lights collided, there was a thunderbolt-like cracking sound again, and the sound was so loud that it almost pierced Zitong's eardrums. The wooden boat shook violently, her legs went limp, and she sat down on the ground.

When the sound dissipated, Zitong saw that there was an extremely deep opening on the floor of the wooden boat. At the end of the mouth, Aiwan knelt down on one foot in front of Mingyue, and her bloody hand was still tightly grasping the broken big handle. Panting heavily, staring at the sea with hatred, his bright red eyes flashed with an unusually determined light: "Don't hurt my father, for the sake of my father's happiness, I must kill you." ”

Canghai's eyes sank: "It's really a ...... for the annoying father and daughter"

Zitong was just about to round the field, but it was too late.

"Drink ......" Aiwan jumped into the air with a shout of rage, and the broken knife handle in her hand turned back into the appearance of the Qinglong Glaive Knife and slashed into the air. Canghai retreated back lightly as if he didn't care, and saw Aiwan cut into the air and fell to the ground. Standing still, the arm with the knife and the thin body trembling.

Zi Tong sensed that something was wrong: "Ai Wan ......"

With a "snort", dozens of wounds suddenly opened on Aiwan's body. Severed hair, shredded clothes, and blood splattered like a fountain before the body slammed to the ground.

Zi Tong only felt that there was blood red in front of him, he couldn't see anything clearly, and he seemed to vomit. Trembling, he crawled towards her like a madman: "Child! ”

She had just climbed halfway when she was blocked by the sea hanging down her scabbard.

"Don't make me kill, I really hate them." Looking down on Zitong condescendingly, Canghai said lightly.

At this time, Ai Wan in the pool of blood supported her body again, and looked up at the sea: "Damn, I want to defeat you, I want to protect my father......"

"Don't move," raised the knife in his right hand, pointed the tip of the knife at her forehead, and Canghai sneered, "If you move again, even if you are a little girl who is hundreds of years old, you will die." ”

"Yikes!" Lovely Wan still roared, and the broken handle in her hand turned into a bayonet again, stabbing into the sea like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow stood in front of the sea.

It turned out to be Mingyue, he was facing Aiwan, his body was pierced by Aiwan's bayonet, and purple blood fell down the tip of the knife.

Zitong was stunned.

Aiwan also froze, and after a while, she cried weakly: "Dad...... Daddy......"

Mingyue raised her hand and brushed away the blood on her eyes: "Good boy, don't fight." ”

"Hmm......" Aiwan responded, and her body collapsed weakly in Mingyue's arms. The bayonet pierced Mingyue's body also turned into red shards in an instant, and disappeared without a trace in the air.

"Let's go." Canghai took Zitong's arm, dragged her, and pulled her towards the string of the boat.

Zitong came back to her senses, tried hard to break away from him, and cried out: "I'm not leaving, how can I go, let me go!" ”

Aiwan was lying there like a bloody man, how could she leave this poor child and walk away?

The hateful sea beats Aiwan like that......

Thinking of this, Zitong kicked his leg fiercely and scratched the back of his hand.

Hate him, never hated him so much!

She hates him so much!

Canghai looked straight at Zitong with his eyes, was silent for a while, and suddenly said softly: "You three deserve to die!" ”

With a wave of his hand, Zitong was thrown out heavily, falling to the ground and sliding for a long distance. The skeleton of the whole body hurts, and the throat is fishy and sweet.

Trembling and propping herself up, Zitong crawled to Aiwan's side to check on her injuries.

She curled up in Mingyue's arms, her eyes closed, and she was twitching unconsciously. His body was completely soaked in blood, and there were dozens of cuts on his face.

Will she die? This fear caused Zitong to cry frantically: "My poor child ......"

"Mommy......" a weak voice floated from her lips.

Zi Tong hurriedly grabbed her cold hand: "Mom is here, don't be afraid." ”

"Don't worry...... I'll get better soon......"

Zi Tong was about to reply, but Canghai said slowly not far away: "The bloodline of a demon corpse is naturally good quickly. Zitong, ask you again, come with me, or stay ......"

Zi Tong turned his head, looked at his cold and ruthless face, and screamed: "Get out!" ”

Looking at Aiwan's injury, Zitong was angry, even if he was Canghai, she couldn't forgive.

"Get out?" Hearing her shout, Canghai laughed instead, "Good, good, very good." ”

The laughter crossed the ship's strings with his figure and was gone. There were only a few red clouds rolling in the remnant wind in the inky sky, dark and oppressive. (To be continued.) )
