The mountains are continuous, and the forests are undulating.

In a valley near a water source, tents were erected. At this time, it was already dark, and there should have been a bonfire and a thousand lights in the tent, but in order to hide the traces, there was no light or sound in the dark valley, only a group of soldiers in dirty clothes and tired expressions patrolling back and forth.

Xiang Liu quietly walked through the camp tents, and the white clothes like snow were like a breeze, slowly drifting across the camp, becoming the only light in the oppressive night, and every soldier who saw him unconsciously felt relieved and refreshed a little.

Many years ago, a recruit complained to a veteran with dissatisfaction: "What is that hydra showing all day? Are we going to war, not going on a blind date, do we have to dress so blindly?"

The veterans who have gone through life and death and burned the corpses of the robes with their own hands always smile lightly with the vicissitudes of life: "After a few tough battles, you will understand!"

When the corners of the recruits' eyebrows and eyes were also dyed with vicissitudes, they understood the words of the veterans. All soldiers are afraid of the red to white figure, but on the battlefield, as soon as the white figure appears, it will immediately attract the attention of the enemy, and the most powerful attacks will be led away by him, and there will always be more soldiers who will live to the next battle; In the camp at night, as long as you see that white figure, no matter how close the enemy is to you, the soldiers can sleep soundly.

After burning one corpse after another of the robes that had fought side by side, the soldiers felt that they understood why Sang-ryu was always dressed in white—perhaps he was just too arrogant to let the enemy see him at a glance; Maybe he's just a good general, and he wants all the soldiers who are fighting bloodily to see him at a glance, no matter how dark it is. What is the reason, no one dares to ask Xiang Liu for verification, and the reason why Xiang Liu always wears white clothes has become a topic that can never be debated in the camp, but will always be debated.

Aiyanagi walked past the camp and walked to the top of the hill, looking down on the camp from a high position.

There was a faint fire in the mountains and forests in the distance, which was set on fire to the mountains and forced them to fight. The moment of the final battle was approaching, and all the soldiers knew their fate, but they still chose this path without hesitation. The world is peaceful, the people live in peace, they have been ruthlessly abandoned by time, they have become superfluous people, death is the best relief, but also the best destination.

Xiang Liu sat down on the bluestone, took out a wood carving of Fusang Shenmu, and carefully carved it, a cute big-bellied laughing doll had been formed, only the eyebrows and eyes were still a little short.

After Xiang Liu carved it carefully, he looked up and down and felt quite satisfied. He put the pot-bellied laughing doll head down, upside down on his lap, opened the base, revealing his hollow belly, and took out another ice crystal ball.

The crystal clear ice crystal ball is wrapped in a pool of turquoise sea. In the secluded water, there are colorful small fish, red coral, and a large white shell, blooming like the brightest flower. A beautiful female mermaid sits sideways on a seashell, the seaweed-like green silk draped, and the beautiful fish's tail is half on the white shell, half floating in the sea. There was a man standing beside her, holding the female merman's outstretched hand, and staring at the female mermaid with a smile. In the corner, a male mermaid floats in the waves, seemingly not far from the shell, but his detached posture makes people feel that he is actually in another world, not in the quiet and peaceful ocean.

Xiang Liu stared quietly for a while, and with his fingers as a blade, he quickly wrote two lines of small words on the ice crystal ball. At this time, a ray of bright moonlight passed through the trees and shone on the ice crystal ball, reflecting the two lines of small words next to the male merman: strong self-protection, someone to rely on, there is a place to go, may you be happy and worry-free!

A white-feathered golden-crowned eagle swooped down from the sky and landed on the cliff, holding a jade bucket in its mouth, which was filled with thick green fuso juice, and the aura was so abundant that the green mist lingered. The white eagle hairball knew that the Fusang Shenmu looked gray, and in fact, it would burn its feathers if it was not careful, so it carefully put the jade bucket next to Xiangliu, and immediately jumped away a few steps, not daring to disturb it silently, but just watched Xiangliu's every move curiously.

Xiang Liu put the ice crystal ball into the empty stomach of the laughing doll, not big or small, just contained the ice crystal ball, covered the base, and the ice crystal ball was sealed in the belly of the laughing doll. Ice crystals are water, Fusang is fire, water and fire are combined, cold and hot are accompanied, it just so happens that the ice crystals are no longer cold, and the Fusang wood is no longer hot and scorching, and ordinary people who do not have spiritual power can also pick up the Fusang laughing doll in time.

So-ryu soaked the laughing doll in the juice of Fuso. The body and base of the laughing doll are the same piece of Fusang Divine Tree, as long as a formation is set up, after a few months, the base will grow together with the laughing doll, but now there is not so much time, and it can only consume spiritual power.

Xiang Liu used blood to arrange the array, using dozens of sunstones that had extracted tens of thousands of years of sunlight essence as a guide, urging spiritual power, and the green fusang juice in the jade bucket was surging and undulating, like boiling water. Gradually, the juice is absorbed by the laughing doll, less and less, and when the juice is completely dry, the body of the laughing doll has completely grown together with the base, and there is not a single crack in sight, as if the entire wood carving is made of a solid piece of wood.

Xiang Liu used four or five percent of spiritual power, and wanted to open the laughing doll, but he didn't open it; He drew his weapon again and slashed it twice, and the laughing doll did not have the slightest crack, and Xiang Liu finally nodded with satisfaction.

The furball stands on one foot, tilts his head, and stares at Sang-ryu like a madman.

Xiang Liu stared at the big-bellied laughing doll in his palm, the laughing doll had crooked eyebrows and eyes, grinning and looking at him with a smile, and the corners of Xiang Liu's lips slowly curved upwards and smiled slightly.

He put the laughing doll into a bag and tied it to the back of the hairball, the hairball cooed, and Xiangliu said, "Go to Yushan and tell the Jun, this is his wedding gift to Xiaoyao." ”

The hairball stared at the bird's eyes wide, and screamed, not understanding why it was obviously made by the nine-headed demon, but it was said that it was made by the fox, Xiangliu slapped it on the head and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, just say that!"

The hairball gurgled a few times in its throat, vibrated its wings, and soared into the air, flying in the direction of Jade Mountain. Xiangliu raised his head and watched the hairball fly farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into the dark night.

I still remember the first time we met outside Qingshui Town, you had a hippie smile and a mouth full of lies, and the only truth was: I have no power to protect myself, no one to rely on, and nowhere to go.

After decades of archery, you have been able to protect yourself, and you no longer have to use your body to protect the people you want to protect when you are in danger; A wishful lover, you already have someone to rely on, you don't have to be alone, with a lonely widow as a companion; The sky is high and the sea is wide, you already have a place to go, and you don't have to be chased by others and have nowhere to settle down.

Xiang Liu said silently in his heart: Xiaoyao, from now on, I can no longer protect you, you have to take good care of yourself, I wish you peace and happiness in your life!
