"Oh, you're going to say that too......" the Sea Spirit said coldly, and a figure flashed not far away, and it laughed out loud and made a strange sound, "But before you worry about others, you should worry about yourself!" ”

The messenger looked to the side, and the girl from the fishing village he had seen during the day was sitting on a staff and waved at her gently.

When the messenger was stunned, the fishing village girl's squinted eyes suddenly opened, and she smiled and said, "Long time no see, G." ”

The messenger nodded, unsurprised, "It's really you, Keluo." ”

Ke Luo covered his mouth with his sleeve and snickered, "I thought you couldn't recognize it anymore, I became like this, I can't even recognize myself." ”

The messenger said, "I remember your eyes." ”

Koro, presumably one of the few synth companions of the Emissary who remembers their names.

But the messenger's impression of her is still on the purple-eyed girl who turned into a sacred statue and sealed the leader of the demon seed, Sun Wukong, when the Tower of the Sun suppressed the rebellious demon seed.

It's strange that many times she doesn't remember the past, but when she sees her,

There are five levels of the Ark.

One, the Creator - the Ark Commander who made most of the laws of this world, the ruler of civilization.

Second, the gods - members of the council dominated by humans of the Old World, the Heather Agency and the Overseer of Civilization, members of the Ark of a generation.

3. Servants of God - members of the second generation of the Ark, mainly synths, creators of God, and a small number of clergy.

Fourth, the clergy – the second generation of Ark members who are responsible for spreading civilization to every corner of the continent for the Creator.

Fifth, the new human beings - the people favored by fate that the members of the Ark of the first generation focus on.

In the hierarchy of the Ark, the authority that can be possessed between the members of the first Ark and the second generation of the Ark is like crossing the sea across the mountains.

Moreover, the Creator has decreed that members of God's servants and below do not have access to the first system, while members of the clergy and below do not have access to the second system.

Without the information of the first system, Ke Luo would not know that she is a synthetic, let alone the real Ke Luo, and her data donor would have already died.

Thousands of years later, when her consciousness was rewritten to the fishing village girl, she did not waste these still free times, but came to the seaside of her longing and became an ordinary fishing village girl.

However, she didn't expect that in just one year, she would meet the messenger.

She knew very well that the messenger recognized her at a glance, so he stayed at her house that night and brought her here.

"Remember, Lord Emissary, three thousand years ago, we went to the Tower of the Sun in the Northern Continent to suppress the Demon Seed Rebellion, and everyone else must have died except you." When Ke Luo said this, she was still dressed as a girl from a fishing village, and she liked her current self very much.

The messenger calmly replied, "No, I'm dead too." ”

Ke Luo raised her eyebrows, "Oh? ”

"Like you, it was Nuwa who resurrected me who was knocked to death by that monkey. Now, 3,000 years later, in the human era, Lord Nuwa needs us to reforge the glory of the past, so I have traveled far and wide to find you. ”

"Looking for us? Heh, it's going to be war again, isn't it? The Sea Spirit made a strange voice that sounded harsh, and Yayoi said, "When Lord Nuwa asked you to execute me, you didn't hesitate at all! ”

The messenger said, "Lord Nuwa has her own troubles, and I know that most of you will not go back, so I will come to see you and leave soon." ”

"That's it?" Yayoi asked, "This city is going to be destroyed, why don't you save it?" ”

"No matter how strong a person is, he can't win a natural disaster." The envoy's gaze looked through the transparent body of the Sea Spirit and looked at the place where the dawn broke, "Even if you don't activate the magic circle, it won't be long before the typhoon after Haiyuntian is broken by the Kunlun Patrol Envoy will destroy the coastal city." ”

"But your friend, the sage of the Jixia Academy, wants to fight against the power of the sea. ”

The messenger asked, "Do you think he will succeed?" ”

Crow replied, "The guy who uses the Force, I don't understand, he's going to be the biggest variable. ”

Yayoi continued, "But no matter what, I will unleash the Lost Pearl of the Sea and sacrifice Jiang County, if you want to stop me, as soon as possible, otherwise, I will kill you together." ”

"You can't kill me."

Yayoi smiled and said, "I know, but it can destroy your body, and it's not pleasant for your consciousness to be reinjected into another body. ”

"Besides, the fact that you haven't received orders from the Ark for so long means that you don't want to return to her control, so you'd better not be against us." ”

"You guys?" The envoy was stunned for a moment and looked at Ke Luo, "Why did you want to destroy Jiang County?" ”

Ke Luo covered his mouth with his sleeve, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, but the words he said were not moving, "The reason is very simple, we are too boring, we have to have some fun in our lives." ”

"We've sacrificed so much for the world, and no one remembers us...... It would be a lie to say that the era was destined to be sacrificed, to say that everything was worth it. ”

Ke Luo gritted her teeth and said, almost in an instant, her long hair turned back to gold, and her smart eyes also turned into unfathomable purple pupils.

"In this world, no one will remember us anymore, and our names will only appear in the chronicles of the Ark. Sadly, there are only names, and our lives will be unknown. ”

"This is not a reason for you to destroy Jiang County, in the end, you still have a grudge because Lord Nuwa did not choose you as an attendant officer."

"Of course, you have what I can't have, but I don't know how to cherish it." Ke Luo didn't deny it, his expression seemed to be a little trance, "In the eyes of Lord Nuwa, only you are special." ”

The messenger of the "......" closed his eyes and did not look at her.

"G, for the sake of the past, don't interfere, no matter what happens after the fall of Jiang County, we will accept it." Ko Luo raised the staff in her hand and pointed it at the messenger, "We want to leave a few lines of text in the glorious epic of the world, even if it is burdened with sin, it doesn't matter. ”

"I'm embarrassed that you're doing that." The envoy sighed, and while taking off his gloves, he said, "After the fall of Jiangjun, when Lord Nuwa finds out that I have been in contact with you, but does not stop you, then will I not be punished by heaven?" ”

The messenger summoned four spears, attached to the power of thunder, and aimed them at Ke Luo and Yayoi respectively, "Jiang Jun is destroyed, you will be hunted down by the ark, Jiang Jun will not be destroyed, you will live in this world safely, why not cherish the present, and do things that hurt heaven and reason?" ”

"G, you won't understand our feelings, if you forcibly intervene, we will wake up the magic circle now, and the day of the sea sacrifice in Jiangjun will be their end."

Ke Luo showed a strange smile and pointed at his lips, "Lord Messenger, you can tell which is more important!" ”

On the sea level, three figures, one blue, one white and one purple, confronted each other, lightning and thunder roared in the sky, and the waves on the sea were turbulent.

The wind whipped the cloak of the messenger and Koro, and the eyes in their eyes were full of cold killing intent, and the staff and spear roared as if they were about to fight in the next second.

After the silence, the messenger said, "Okay, I won't meddle in the affairs of Jiangjun. However, the sea clouds have been broken, and the Overseer is coming this way, and what you are doing now will definitely be detected by the Ark. ”

"Then destroy Jiang County before they arrive."

"You won't succeed......," the messenger paused for a moment, then added, "Even if Yayoi becomes the spirit of the sea, she will not be able to escape the punishment of heaven's damnation." ”

After saying this, the virtual projection of the messenger turned into a blue glow and disappeared.

The Spirit of the Sea looked at Da Qiao, who was sleeping in the cocoon, and said in a shrill voice that should be called gentle, "As long as I can destroy Jiang Jun and fulfill her wish, no matter what punishment she will receive later, I am willing." ”

Ke Luo returned to the dress of a fishing village girl, put away her staff, shook her head and sighed, "You are such a madman! ”

Wudi, Jiangjun, fishing village.

On the sparkling sea, the sky is like a mirror image of the sea, white birds are flying by, broken waves crashing against the reef,

The messenger sat on the rocks by the sea, his elbows propped up on his face, and his fine hair fell down, obscuring his thoughts.

At her feet is the shallow sea of crystal clear, the kun swimming freely and the dreams of frolicking together.

Not far away, under the eaves of the hut guarding the fishing ground, Zhuang Zhou and Guiguzi sat face to face, and some words were transmitted to the ears of the messenger through the wind.

"Guiguzi, do you know where you are in the stars?"

"Sages also stargazing?"

"I know a little bit about the art of arithmetic."

"So, can you do the math for me?"

"Nature."

There was a fluctuation of the Force behind him, and the messenger turned around, and under the eaves of the hut, a huge stargazing map appeared.

Zhuang Zhou was zooming in on some galaxies and pointing to Guiguzi.

The messenger heard him say, "Through this nebula, we may be able to reach Hirsch's homeland." ”

"How do you know?" Guiguzi asked.

"I have read the dreams of the Creator in the experience of Mengqi."

"And where are my stars?"

"I can't see your stars, but I do know the stars that represent Hirsch."

"Mine can't see? Why? ”

"I guess, it's because ......" Zhuang Zhou was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"The planet under our feet is his star." I don't know when the messenger who has come to me said.

"Yes, that's it, no wonder, you have the will of the world in you." Zhuang Zhou looked at Guiguzi, his eyebrows crooked.

No wonder the gods on the ark, he thought, would send messengers to follow him all the way.

Guiguzi nodded and asked, "Sage, where are the stars of Hirsch?" ”

Zhuang Zhou closed his eyes and felt it for a while, and after opening his eyes again, he shook his head gently, "Hmm...... It's far away, I can't really see it. ”

"Farther than Hirsch's homeland?"

"Yes." Zhuang Zhou nodded, and added, "Moreover, the two stars are in different time and space. ”

Guiguzi tilted his head, "Huh? ”

"It's complicated to explain, forget it today, let's talk about it later." Zhuang Zhou stood up, snapped his fingers, and soon, Kun swam over.

"The two of you, in a few days it will be Jiangjun's sea festival, do you want to go and see it together?"

"Worship the sea? Is it a festival on earth? I don't have a problem, although I haven't participated in this kind of festival for a long time......" Guiguzi finished speaking, thinking of that incident and asked, "Jiangjun is about to be flooded, how can the people be in the mood to celebrate the festival?" ”

"Because they don't know." Zhuang Zhou said quietly.

The messenger was also a little surprised, "Why? It is impossible that no one in Jiang County will notice that the magic circle has been activated. ”

"You don't seem to understand." Zhuang Zhou reluctantly told them about the current situation, "Now that the third of the land is in the midst of war, if you evacuate a city with great fanfare, or the national capital, do you know what impact it will have on the war?" ”

The capital is the foundation of the country, and once shaken, it will change the dynasty at least and destroy the country at worst.

Guiguzi sighed faintly, "Alas, I didn't expect it." ”

"Moreover, it is not irretrievable." Zhuang Zhou smiled and said, "The person who operates this magic circle is a kind child, and if you impress her with sincerity, you will definitely be able to save this city." ”

Guiguzi nodded and said, "However, since she wants to redeem his lover through blood sacrifice, it is impossible that she has not thought about the impact that the destruction of this city will have on the third of the land. ”

Zhuang Zhou sighed, "Yes, I just hope that everything is still in time." ”

"Forced?" Mengqi leaned over to the messenger and raised the conch in his hand.

Zhuang Zhou raised his eyebrows, and said with some excitement, "The sea festival is a traditional festival in Jiang County~"

"Is it fun?" Guiguzi's eyes lit up and asked.

"Forced?" Is there anything to eat?

Zhuang Zhou tapped his toes, sat down on the kun, and said with a smile, "Such a grand festival, there will definitely be what you want." ”

A long time ago, the festival was made to sacrifice to the gods who blessed the fishermen in the sea, but later, when the gods became legends, it became a grand festival.

Today, the festival is a festival to commemorate the souls of those who died in the war.

——The heroic sacrifice of the Jiangdong overlord, the sacrificial girl of the Demon Dao family, is interwoven into a wartime tragedy.

This year, the venue of the altar of worship to the sea was moved from the seaside to the Haitian Square in front of the lord's palace, and people were surprised by this decision, and only a few people knew how dangerous the seaside was.

Zhuang Zhou let Kun and Mengqi stay in the fishing village, and the girl with a smile on her lips was reluctant to leave the village to attend the rally, so she just helped the group take care of Kun and Mengqi.

However, on the day of the sea festival, the messenger told Zhuang Zhou that the girl from the fishing village named Ah Luo was not an ordinary person.

It's her kindred, the clergyman Korot who hasn't fully awakened and lives in seclusion here.

Zhuang Zhou was a little angry, but not angry yet, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

The messenger said, "Guiguzi wants to see the sea festival, if you let the sage know Ke Luo's identity, we won't be able to come." ”

"Why? Will she be bad for us? ”

"You don't believe in God, and you don't believe in the Ark, and although you always smile at me, I know you don't like me to follow you."

Zhuang Zhou raised his eyebrows, "Tsk, my intuition is very keen~"

"Sages don't have to worry, Ke Luo will do what he says, Mengqi and Kun will be fine."

"What if the sea is covered?"

"She's the embodiment of the ray, don't worry." After the envoy finished speaking, he thought for a moment, and then said, "It will be measured......"

Zhuang Zhou's intuition told him that the meaning of the two "TA" before and after must be different.

But he didn't ask at this time, but nodded and knocked on the room of Guiguzi next door.

They exchanged the jade they had obtained from the journey for the mainland's circulating currency, gold coins, and stayed in an inn near the river, which was originally a room for three people, but the envoy was still not used to sleeping in a bed, so it was changed to two.

As ever, the messenger sat on the roof and watched the sun set, the moon rose and sunset.

She felt in a trance that perhaps she had witnessed the setting and rising of countless suns, and had also witnessed countless sets and never rose.

"Hesh, it's time for us to go~" Downstairs, Guiguzi's message came up, and the messenger got up, put his thoughts behind, and put on his hood against the wind.

The scene on the day of the sea festival was even more lively than Guiguzi imagined.

Every year in late winter and early spring, in order to celebrate the high tide of the sea and bring the gift of the sea, a sea festival is held from Gang-gun in Kure-gu to all coastal cities.

This is the most lively festival in coastal cities after the Spring Festival in the whole continent.

From the evening of the day appointed by the lord, families, young and old, would put on their most beautiful clothes and carry white lanterns to pray for the spirits of the heroes to the moat that ran through the city.

When night falls, the people put prayer lamps into the moat and float down the river to the end of the moat, the mouth of the East China Sea.

A lamp of prayer decorates the entire moat into a river of light, carrying people's thoughts and sorrows, and sending them to the heroic souls who died at sea.

Along the moat, there are also vendors selling plain white prayer lamps, and there are also officers and soldiers patrolling the river.

When the prayer lamps are released, families gather in the square in front of the lord's house, and then the grand procession begins.

In fact, the sea festival is also a festival of blind date treasure hunting and trading in disguise.

At the end of the day, a huge bright moon will rise in the sky, and at that time, several lotus lantern shrine maidens will dance the sacrificial dance, and the lords of Wu will appear in anticipation and announce the new decrees of the year.

After that, the festival lasts for three days, and after three days, the prayer lamps that do not float to the mouth of the sea will be salvaged and burned.

Zhuang Zhou bought three lamps in the riverside building, and asked them to carry one by one and put them by the moat.

"I don't have a memorial to the deceased...... Even if there were, I can't remember. Guiguzi first excused himself, and when he saw the messenger receiving the lamp of prayer, he also took it.

However, he was too small to be handed over to the messenger, who picked him up and walked through the crowd.

Zhuang Zhou looked at the shop near the river with curiosity, and said with interest, "I haven't been in such a lively place for a long time, and I almost forgot this feeling." ”

The messenger said helplessly, "It's noisy, I really want to go back." ”

Zhuang Zhou shook the river lamp in his hand and said with a smile, "Then let's go and put the prayer lamp first, the dance of the sea festival is about to start, and there should not be many people in the moat." ”

Sure enough, as he expected, after nightfall, there were not as many people as there were before on the moat, so the messenger put down the awkward Guiguzi, walked down the stairs to the dock by the river, and rented a small boat.

According to the guidance of the old man of the fishing boat, that night, Zhuang Zhou rocked the boat to Lianhu.

Pillow full of green lotus, looking at the galaxy flowing in the sky, silent all around, lotus leaves and branches are slim, and the quiet sweetness floats into the dreams of travelers in a foreign land.

Zhuang Zhou lit the prayer lamp and stretched out his hand towards Guiguzi, "Guiguzi, please lend me your pen." ”

Guiguzi handed him the pen, leaned over and asked curiously, "Whose name are you writing?" ”

"Secret." Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly, and before Guiguzi saw it, he quickly conjured a butterfly and pushed the blessing lamp away.

"Hirsch, whose name are you writing again?" Guiguzi asked the messenger at the bow of the ship with a sideways face.

The messenger's fingertips lit up with a ball of light, and on the six lamp surfaces, six names were written.

They are Kailan, Luo Lu, Ke Luo, Yayoi, Huan, and He Xi.

"With so many names, who are they?"

"A former companion."

"Are they all dead?"

"Three thousand years, what do you say?"

"But you're still alive."

The messenger hummed and lowered the prayer lamp into the moat.

From afar, in the moat, the stars are colorful.

"The night in Gangjun is beautiful, isn't it?" Zhuang Zhou asked them with a smile.

"It's not worse than King's Canyon, but I still like King's Canyon."

The messenger turned away, looked at the stars, and listened to their conversation.

At this time, Nuwa's voice sounded in her ears.

- G, have you seen a young swordsman named Dongfang Yao at Jixia Academy?

"No, what's wrong?"

- His existence will be the biggest variable.

"Do you want to erase it early?"

- No, wait for the right time.

"Yes."
