Zhao Li didn't know what kind of courage that letter had given Ao Guang, and what a terrible price this courage had endened, he was still exploring the place where the Eastern Emperor's half of his body was in the sea at the moment, but he already felt a little headache.

Fake, fake.

It's all fake.

He and Phoenix have been exploring this sea area of the Star Sea for almost a month, exploring all the possible secret realms one by one, but they still found nothing, all of them are false, and some of them are even traps at all.

If it weren't for the number of heavenly machines, as well as the guidance of the Eastern Emperor's power obtained from Haotian in his hand, all of which were determined to be in this sea area, Zhao Li would almost have to wonder if the gods and demons who searched for his memories at the beginning did not know the correct direction, and he was deliberately misled.

Now I can only sigh that before Donghuang Taiyi was seriously injured before, he actually had such a means, he was able to hide half of his body without others from discovering it, no wonder those gods and demons spent so long and found nothing.

At the moment, he and the phoenix have reached a helpless situation, although they know the approximate location, but they can't find the exact location at all, and it is impossible to leave, but it is useless to wander around here in vain.

Zhao Li thought that it would be in vain to look for it like a headless fly.

Although this is above the sea of stars, there are also places where the human race gathers, but those who have had great cultivation have come here to live in seclusion, and after the fall, the descendants have not been able to cultivate to a higher realm, and there are slowly mortals who have cultivated to a low level, which is not known for tens of thousands of years, and it has also multiplied here.

It is better to go to the gathering place and ask the inhabitants to see if they know anything, and sometimes, the signs that are common in the eyes of ordinary people, such as stars that appear once every ten years, or a certain change in heaven and earth that has been recorded, may be a sign.

The phoenix groaned slightly, and nodded in agreement.

The two of them landed on a thriving town, which was located on an island, and from a high vantage point, the buildings with a unique style were built around the undulating terrain of the island? Bright lights? It has an indescribable sense of beauty.

Zhao Li cast a trick to cover up the piercing white hair.

Only then did he enter the city with Phoenix? Drinking tea in a teahouse first? Listening to the small talk of those tea customers, except for a few merchants who said that the big customers who have been here for hundreds of years to buy food, wine and meat suddenly disappeared? It has a big impact on this town, and makes it possible to guess that this should refer to the gods and demons? And nothing.

Most of the things that are said are the short things of the parents in the town.

Except for listening to a hilarity? Nor did it come to it.

Immediately, Zhao Li pretended to buy some specialties again, and asked the people in this town some things at random, such as stars and the like, this place is extremely remote? Rare outsiders? In addition, Zhao Li used a small spell at will, basically those people knew everything about his problem, and they said everything, which was even more convenient for inquiry.

The phoenix stood beside the road, waiting quietly.

Red dust lights falling on you? gave people a sense of illusion, and the people who came and went did not even notice her.

Dressed in white and dyed with red dust? The black hair has become a slightly gentle bright brown due to a little light, and it is no longer cold? It's just that the eyes are lowered and the look is extremely flat? Feeling aloof and detached? Like standing in the middle of endless years? Straight Zhao Li walked forward, his brown pupils moved slightly, and he had a little more human breath.

Said lightly:

"How?"

Zhao Li spread his hands, shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "Nothing." ”

The Taoist scratched his hair, and said as he walked with Phoenix, "In addition to knowing that the price of the vegetable seller next to him has increased in order to marry his son's daughter-in-law, and that there is an old man beating his wife in the backyard, it seems that there are monks from the Jiuzhou realm who have come here to broaden their horizons, and it is worth it with a strong atmosphere." ”

Phoenix frowned: "Then why have you listened to it for a long time?"

Zhao Li shifted his gaze and said with a dry smile:

"This ...... It's always fun to listen to gossip. ”

Immediately felt a little embarrassed, coughed, and immediately turned back to business, Zhengse said:

"It seems that the last hand that Donghuang Taiyi originally arranged was not only hidden and hidden, but also did not have the slightest spiritual charm leaked out for thousands of years. ”

"But this road can't go through, is it true that you have to search inch by inch like the gods and demons in the Pantheon?"

Zhao Li now finally knows why those gods and demons took such a long time, and mobilized so much manpower to nothing, it's not that we don't work hard, but the Eastern Emperor is powerful enough, and he didn't leave a trace of it, but although he said it, he had to look for a needle in a haystack like a god and demon.

But he has the power of the Eastern Emperor in the pot in his hands.

With this force as a traction, compared to the heavy workload of gods and demons, it is tens of millions of times simpler, at most, spend some effort to find it slowly, you can always find it, Zhao Li looked at the sky, sniffed the red dust in this world, and planned to make another effort at the end.

Walking all the way to a remote part of the town, I knocked on the courtyard of an old man.

The old man is quite old, and the courtyard here also has an ancient meaning, Zhao Li hopes to get something from the other party, but unfortunately, this old couple also knows nothing, but for this rare guest, they showed considerable enthusiasm, and hurriedly said that there is a vacant room at home, if the two of them don't care, they can sleep here, it's okay.

One?

Zhao Li's eyelids jumped.

The old man looked at the green-robed Taoist, and the woman in white who didn't know when he was wearing a veil, gave a thumbs up, his face was full of wrinkles, and grinned: "Except for the black-clothed gentleman before, it's rare to see two people with such grace and bearing, how do you say that?

"Yes, it's a fairy couple!"

The old man stroked his palms and laughed, quite complacent about his knowledge.

Zhao Li's scalp was numb.

I only felt that the muscles behind her were a little tense, for fear that the woman behind her would react, she probably wouldn't do anything to ordinary people, but it was difficult for her to say, if she threw down a phoenix fire...... No, this can be assured, but the possibility of eating vegetarian for another three years is quite large, so big that Zhao Li almost feels like crying without tears.

But he didn't expect that the cold woman didn't react, just spoke flatly, rejected the old man's invitation, and immediately turned away, not feeling the slightest sense of joy and anger.

Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled bitterly at the old man and clenched his fists slightly.

Then he turned around and chased after the phoenix, the two of them walked quietly and silently towards the reef by the sea, the atmosphere was silent, and it was really a little depressing, Zhao Li coughed and said:

"Huang Daoyou, what the old man said, Daoyou don't have to take it to heart......

The phoenix stopped and said plainly:

"The life and death of mortals are like morning dew, and I don't take what I say to heart, why are you so stubborn?"

She glanced at Zhao Li with brown eyes, brushed her sideburns and black hair, and said lightly:

"Do you care?"

"This ......"

Zhao Li smiled bitterly and smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer, so he had to leave his hand.

The woman retracted her gaze, brushed her long hair on her sideburns, looked at the sky and the stars were brilliant, and said: "All living beings in the world live and die, as if the mud and sand gather and scatter impermanently, I don't know how many creatures I have seen in my life, from the prime of life to the old age, and then die and fall into the dust, and turn back and forth, and never stop, how can I care too much?"

"The vicissitudes of life, the world has been ten thousand years, and only the stars rise and fall, eternal and long, and have not changed so far. ”

When she said this, her tone was flat but a little alienated, as if she was a bystander standing on the edge of the world, maybe this is the sentimentality of the gods, immortality, and the loneliness of immortality, Zhao Li thought about it, and saw that the woman was quiet, and suddenly smiled:

"That's not bad, but it's not necessarily true to say that people have disappeared. ”

The woman's brown eyes fell on his face.

The Taoist smiled, sat on a black reef at random, lifted the hem of his clothes, saved himself from being wet by the waves, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Huang Daoyou, I once heard such a saying when I was traveling, I don't know if you are interested......"

The voice paused, and the Taoist said with a bit of a scoundrel momentum:

"Of course you're not interested, and I'm going to talk about it too. ”

The woman's expression was cold, she seemed to hesitate, and she also sat on a rock, separated from the Taoist by such a short distance, naturally, said to be sitting, but in fact, she was sitting on a layer of pure vitality, making a quiet listening appearance, Zhao Li knew the phoenix's habits, and he didn't care, organized the language, and said slowly:

"Hmm...... That's what my hometown says. ”

"There has been such a saying in the world, all things in the world are one and conserved, and they will not be born out of thin air, or disappear out of thin air, the so-called extinction is just from here to there, just like the flow of vitality, such as the nutrients in the soil are absorbed by the grass and trees, and the plants and trees are devoured by cattle and sheep, and the cattle and sheep are eaten by people, and everything rotates as usual, and finally becomes one. ”

And the bright stars in the sky are also made up of such subtle beings. ”

"The stars, by and large, do not perish, especially those that are extremely powerful and give birth to small worlds, but for a long time, for thousands of years, perhaps in the first days the stars have died, and their bodies have broken apart into tiny particles, and they have fallen to the earth, or they have become grass, or they have become cattle and sheep, or perhaps, they have become people. ”

Therefore, even if you die, your body will return to heaven and earth, and your soul will go to the ruins and re-enter reincarnation. ”

"Everything is one after all, life and death are just states, not complete ends. ”

"Therefore, there may be such a star, once dotted in the void, illuminating the great thousands, after death, its particles have gone through a lot of hardships, countless years, existing in the bodies of two people, these two people have the closest relationship, they may have a little bit of them once belonged to the same star......"

The Taoist voice was gentle.

Phoenix looked at him and suddenly said flatly: "Two people, just like you and me?"

Zhao Li's thoughts froze.

Phoenix's voice paused slightly, but his voice was still cold, and he said:

"It's a pity that I haven't changed for eternity, and I'm the only one after all. ”

"It can't be. ”

Zhao Li didn't notice the meaning of pity, a voice came from afar, and subconsciously raised his head to look, but it was the old man who was carrying something in his hand, shouting in his mouth, and the Taoist was surprised, got up to meet him, and only then did he know, but it was the old man who saw them coming in this direction from a distance, thinking that it was also those elegant guests who came here to enjoy the scenery, so he prepared some side dishes for them, as well as a pot of good wine produced in the town.

The dish is an ordinary stir-fry, expensive in the old way, and the ingredients are real.

The wine is also a normal cloudy wine, but it has a lot of flavor.

The Taoist carried this small fried old wine, and the gluttonous worms in his stomach began to run around again, swallowed his saliva, and subconsciously looked at the woman in white over there, who narrowed his eyes, was silent, and said flatly: "It's not an example." The Taoist was overjoyed, said good, great kindness, sent the old man away, and secretly pinched a spell to protect the old man.

Then he walked happily with wine in one hand and vegetables and chopsticks in the other.

The movements were neat, and he placed the dishes and chopsticks on the flat stone between himself and the phoenix, but it was roasted tofu, fried peanuts, and cold-cut braised pork, and the meat that was marinated just right, fat and thin, it was the best place to enter, and the cut did not seem to be thinly cut in the restaurant, but it was cut down in large pieces, poured with sauce and mixed.

The common dishes in the village are also the most touching part of Hongchen.

The Taoist sniffed deeply, couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks, and then handed another pair to the phoenix.

The woman did not answer.

Zhao Li withdrew his hand, the phoenix seemed to be quiet, raised his hand to turn into two pairs of chopsticks with vitality, and threw a pair to Zhao Li, Zhao Li knew that she was so temperamental, and she didn't care, the food was in front, anything could be, smiled and confessed to the old man, put the old man's chopsticks next to him, and reused the chopsticks that were transformed by pure vitality.

Got off the chopsticks and put them in his mouth, the taste was fat, and he poured another glass of wine, and poured three glasses of wine on his neck.

Looking at the sea and sky from afar, the field of vision is broad, and the bright moon is above, the stars are scattered, the mind can't help but open, the previous troubles and troubles are not very concerned, the wine into the stomach, it will turn into pride, the Taoist raised his hand and raised the cup, laughed loudly: "Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, the shadow into three people." ”

"The moon is not relieved of drinking, and the shadow disciples are with me!"

"For the time being, the moon will be shadowed, and the joy must be spring. ”

After half a month of solitude, half a smile and half a roar, but there was no interest to continue, leaning against the reef behind, the woman next to her thoughtfully, said, "Did you do it?"

Zhao Li replied with a smile: "No, it was copied." ”

The woman bowed slightly, drank half a drink, her voice was cold, and she said lightly: "I'll copy another one." ”

Copy another ......

But it's a good spirit.

The Taoist was stunned and couldn't speak, and suddenly laughed, since the matter of the Eastern Emperor's half body is in a hurry, it is not bad to steal half a day of leisure today, it is rare for this friend to have such a Yaxing, and said: "Okay, then I will copy another one." ”

Raising his hand, he raised his glass and said aloud:

"When will the moon come in the blue sky, I'll stop the cup today and ask it!"

..................

Late at night here, Jia Haochu and his friends walked on the island night road, the road is difficult to walk in the middle of the night, but for them who are so self-reliant, it is nothing, and enjoying the scenery at this moment is also a special taste, they are also the children of the Lanzhou family, and they have heard early that there is a wonderful scene to see at the edge of the sea of stars here.

Regardless of the dangers on the road, relying on his own strength and guard cultivation, it took several years to be here.

Enjoy the mountains and rivers of the world all the way, and broaden your horizons and weather.

And with words and a book in mind, it is not a wonderful method of cultivation, but it is just a pastime that they like to do, and they are humble as a small way, but they are also proud of these things that are not beneficial to cultivation, and this time I heard that the sea view under the moon at night is quite elegant, so I came here at this moment.

made an appointment to write some poems here, and the advanced Keqing was disdainful.

The Way of Verse?

It's better to learn the formation.

But before he got close, he could hear the chanting voice, and the first two sons of the family were slightly stunned, and then stroked their palms and sighed, saying that there are colleagues here, and immediately stepped up their pace, and the guards were no longer disdainful in their hearts, but they also had to follow honestly to protect the safety of their young master.

As they got closer, the words they heard became clearer and clearer, and the expressions of the three couldn't help but freeze.

The pace became more and more sluggish and slow, and finally it was difficult to take half a step-

Wide field of view.

On the reef, the woman in white looked indifferent and drank, clearly looking down on her appearance, but she only felt that it was rare in the world.

"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace!"

After listening to this poem, the young monk smiled bitterly and said, "Now I can't write poetry for fun......" Although he likes the way of poetry, he may not have regarded it as a pastime in the past, but what he hears today has made his heart feel great.

can deduce the poetry trail to this point, it can be said that he has never seen a wonderful man and a god.

I was just about to go out to see the ceremony.

The Taoist over there smiled casually:

"Huang Daoyou, do you want to listen to it again?"

The cold woman bowed her head indifferently, and the Taoist stroked her palms and smiled: "Yes, then let's do it again today." ”

Almost without stopping, he had already spoken: "The tide of the spring river is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is ...... together."

The voice is clear and peaceful, a long poem falls, not to mention the phoenix who has really seen the moonlight in the world, the three people who listened to it have almost lost their minds, and the guards whispered in their mouths who first saw the moon on the bank of the river, and when did the river moon shine at the beginning of the year, I felt that my mood was sad for a while, but also for a while, and there was a sense of loosening in cultivation.

Immediately, he was slightly shocked in his heart, knowing that the two people he saw in front of him were by no means ordinary, and he had already retreated at the moment.

At this moment, seeing that the person's face seemed to be a little drunk, he raised the wine cup, faced the heaven and earth, and suddenly said:

"I haven't seen the ancients before!"

With an abrupt sound, the ground exploded, and the arrogance was soaring, and the hair stood on end.

The second sentence has been released: "The one who comes after is gone!"

The spirit has been pushed to the limit, and then the last two sentences are like a sharp sword, blurted out.

"Thinking of heaven and earth, crying alone!"

The spirit seems to be majestic, but it has an indescribable, incomparably strong loneliness and pathos, the three visitors felt its artistic conception, their hearts were uncertain, after all, they did not dare to stay, quickly retreated, the Taoist stood in the sky and the sea, dressed in moonlight and starlight, lonely and lonely, not inferior to the previous phoenix.

However, one sees a long time and space, and the other sees three thousand worlds apart.

The Taoist staggered back to his original position, sat down, the wine was not intoxicating, the red dust was intoxicating.

The phoenix didn't ask him why he was in such a state of mind, and he didn't say anything, the two of them only drank at will, and the slightly drunk Taoist lay lazily on the reef, raised his glass to the heaven and earth, and drank quietly with the phoenix, and the phoenix opened his mouth and said lightly: "What you just said, will the soul also turn into dust?"

Zhao Li thought about it and replied with a smile:

"Probably, if I die, probably my soul will not survive, then all my soul and body will turn into dust, and I will return to the three thousand worlds, among the mountains and rivers, grass and trees, it is not bad. ”

"Hmm. ”

After drinking for a while, the last cup was drunk by the phoenix, the cup in her hand dispersed, looked at the stars in the distance, and said in a cold voice: "If you really turn into particles and return to the three thousand, I will gather the dust that belongs to you in the three thousand worlds, will you come back to life?"

Zhao Li was slightly stunned, and then sighed: "...... It was so bitter, I don't know how many years. ”

"But, probably possible, right? I don't know. ”

He immediately laughed and said:

"Do you really want to? I wish I could live forever like this......"

The woman in white said in a cold voice: "So, if you are really dead...... I'll gather your dust and let you come back again, no matter how many times, all the time, all the time, all the time, how about it?"

Zhao Li lost his mind.

Phoenix's voice paused slightly, raised his hand to brush the black hair on his sideburns, and said lightly:

"It's a reward for tonight. ”

Zhao Li exhaled slowly, stroked his palm and smiled: "Then I can be regarded as taking a big advantage." ”

"This night is almost over, and I have to continue to find half of the Eastern Emperor, I don't know where he is hiding, so he won't hide in the sky......"

Zhao Li's voice paused slightly, and a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind, looking at the starry sky.

The ancient star map that I once saw with my own eyes unfolded in my memory.

If you compare it with the star map you see now, there are some more insignificant stars in some parts of the outside world, but if you connect those stars with invisible threads, a huge portal hidden in the stars has already appeared in front of Zhao Li's eyes.

It's true!
