I opened my eyes in the shaking, and found myself lying on the cramped bed, standing up and walking outside, the moon reflected in the endless sea, and the bright and soft afterglow covered the sea like a silver veil.

Standing on the side of the boat, the sea in the night is sparkling, and the occasional night breeze blows by, stirring up layers of waves to crash on the side of the ship.

Tian Ji and Gong Jue stood beside me, and when he saw me wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and Tian Ji said, "When we were floating in the sea, we were rescued by this boat, and I have been asleep for a day."

The three of us stood side by side by the boat, without the joy of the rest of our lives, thinking of the sunken Jieshi Palace, and Ling Zhihan, who was abandoned by me, and heavy sadness hit us again.

Tian Ji suddenly pulled open his backpack, grabbed a handful of gems and threw them in the sea.

"What are you doing?" Gong Jue and I asked in surprise.

"The Jieshi Palace where the four of us went together, now there are only three of us left, and Zhihan is still inside......" Tian Ji's voice was low. The grievances that can't be let go, these things should be for Zhihan's funeral. ”

Any gem thrown into the sea is extremely precious, and a person like Tian Ji who is greedy for money now has a very calm face, but more of a powerlessness, no matter how much wealth he has, he can't exchange it for Ling Zhihan.

I sighed heavily, and also grabbed a handful and threw it in the sea, watching the gems drowning in the sea, I didn't feel anything at all, it was a kind of comfort, this is the only thing we can do for Ling Zhihan, but it didn't make me feel guilty and sorry in the slightest.

The three of us scattered an entire bag of gems in the sea.

"If I had known this was the case, I shouldn't have come here in the first place." I looked down at the sea and said.

"The world is unpredictable, and who knew what would happen in the end." Tian Ji patted me on the shoulder and said reassuringly. "You know I'm not afraid of death, but of course if I were to replace you, I would let go as well."

"Who will you let go?" I asked.

"Release the heaviest one." Tian Ji didn't even want to blurt out, this answer made me stunned for a moment, we have been playing tricks on Tian Ji, because he is the stupidest, but now I find that he is the real wisdom and foolishness. "Whoever you let go, I won't blame you, but I know that you will be uneasy in this life, I don't persuade you, I know that there is no persuasion, Zhi Han finally said, I hope we can help her find Ling Xuan, let's not live up to Zhi Han's entrustment."

"I know I shouldn't ask you......" The palace lord hesitated. Why me? ”

"Because I'm selfish."

"......" Gongjue and Tian Ji looked at me in surprise.

I have a strange feeling about Ling Zhihan, that feeling may be what Xie Tianhui said about the love between children and daughters, but for Gong Jue, it stands to reason that he and I should be brothers and sisters.

At that time, Xie Tianhui forced me to let go of one of them, I was not as simple as Tian Ji, in fact, I weighed it before letting go, I would be very sad to let go of Ling Zhihan, and I felt that the moment she fell, my heart was also broken.

But......

If I let go of the palace lord, I don't even have to think about it, I can feel that I will be even more sad, and even that sadness is something I can't bear, I can't imagine what it would be like without him around me.

So my final choice was selfish, and I chose the palace lord because I didn't want to suffer that kind of pain.

"I understand what you said, we started from Beibi Mountain, and we lived and died together through thick and thin all the way, although the three of us are not brothers, we are afraid that the relationship is far beyond this." Tian Ji nodded and said.

I also understood it this way, but I always felt that something was wrong, and the palace lord looked at me without saying a word, as if he had something to say to me.

"By the way, in Jieshi Palace, don't you have something to say more?" I asked.

"No, it's fine." Gong Jue retracted his gaze, looking a little flustered.

"What the hell is going on? You were serious at the time, as if you were going to explain what was going on, and I was afraid that you would say it. "The more he was like this, the more curious I became.

"Don't you want to know?"

"At that time, I was afraid that after you said it, I would break free, of course I didn't want to know." I looked at the palace lord seriously and asked. "Listening to your tone at the time, you seem to be hiding something from me?"

"What can I hide from you, you said, you don't want to know for the rest of your life, let me wait for you to die, go to your grave and burn paper." Gong Jue diverted the topic.

"What the hell is it, you can tell me clearly." I asked.

"I forget, I didn't know what to say at the time, I'll tell you when I remember."

Gong Jue obviously didn't want to tell me, what he didn't want to say, he couldn't ask, but thinking of his eyes and smile at that time, I am a little confused now, I feel that at the moment of life and death, Gong Jue seems to have changed a person, a person I have never really understood.

"You're so damned, I almost didn't find you."

A voice came from behind us, so familiar, and we turned around to see a man with a wide forehead and a tiger's waist approaching with his clothes draped.

When the man approached, he could see his appearance clearly, his beard was full of eagles, and a clearly visible scar hung diagonally on his cheek, looking rough and bold.

"Bai, Uncle Bai?" The three of us shouted in unison almost at the same time.

Unexpectedly, Bai Jin would be on this ship, and it had been several months since he was separated from him in Hongbai Mountain, and now when he saw him again, Bai Jin was still as imposing as a rainbow and heroic.

"Uncle Bai, why are you here?" I asked, surprised.

"I saved your lives, without a word of thanks." Shiro looked us back and forth recently, laughing heartily. "Running from the desert to the sea, you can really toss, hahaha."

The three of us looked at each other, we always thought it was good luck, and we were rescued only when a boat passed by, but now when we see Bai Jin, we realize that saving us seems to have nothing to do with luck.

The last time we saw Bai Jin was when we escaped from the Vientiane Divine Palace, when we were taken to the underground base of the 117th Bureau by Du Yi, we never saw Bai Jin again, and I remember that he was still with Bu Dongyuan at that time.

Bai Jin told us that when he woke up, he was already in Yumen Pass, only Bu Dongyuan beside him, and he didn't know what happened at all, he wanted to turn back to find us, but he didn't know where to go, so he had to return to Liaodong first, and sent someone to the Sifang pawnshop to investigate, and he was relieved to learn that we and Ye Jiuqing were safe and sound.

"What the hell happened then?" Bai Jin asked.

"Uncle Bai, how many people have mentioned the matter of the Vientiane Divine Palace?" I asked seriously.

"No, the things in the Vientiane Shrine are too bizarre for me to leak out."

"That's good, Uncle Bai, the matter of Vientiane Divine Palace is not as simple as we thought, the less we know, the better, you are the general's brother, I don't want you to be involved."

"My life is thanks to you in the Vientiane Divine Palace, otherwise where would I have survived to this day, you can rest assured, my mouth is very tight, and I will not say a word about the Vientiane Divine Palace." Bai patted his chest and said.

"Uncle Bai, why are you here?" Tian Ji asked suspiciously.

"I should ask you this, say okay, Liaodong will remember to come to me in the future, you are good, when you get to my territory, I don't know if I don't know, if someone doesn't tell me, I don't know you're here." Bai Jin complained a few words.

"The matter of the Vientiane Divine Palace is not over yet, after we rescued the shopkeeper, we were led here, and we continue to track down the matter of the Nine Dragons Boat in the Moon Palace, I thought that I would visit you first, but I never had a chance to get out." Gong Jue said.

"Coming to Liaodong has something to do with the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace?" Bai Jin was stunned for a moment, his expression was grim, and then he sighed heavily and waved his hand and said. "Forget it, don't tell me, it's all this age, there are still a few days to live, and I don't want to toss anymore, let's know my fate."

"Uncle Bai, you just said that someone told you that we arrived in Liaodong, who is it?" I asked.

"There can still be someone, Xie Tianhui."

……

We were stunned for a long time, and it took us a long time to come back to our senses: "Uncle Bai, do you know Xie Tianhui?" ”

"Who doesn't know him in Liaodong, but I'm strange, Xie Tianhui and I have never had any contact, how could he suddenly write to me this time and talk about you."

"When did I tell you?" I asked.

"It's half a month." Bai Jin scratched his head and thought about it.

I was stunned, from the time calculation, we entered the bottom of the sea to find the Jieshi Palace, and now it is almost half a month, that is to say, Xie Tianhui told us that the time when we were in Liaodong should be when we were ready to enter the bottom of the sea.

Hearing Bai Jin talk about Xie Tianhui, I remembered this person: "What about Xie Tianhui?" ”

Bai Jin sighed gloomily, turned around and took us silently, in a room under the cabin, we saw Xie Tianhui lying on the bed with his eyes closed, I stretched out my hand and stopped in front of his nose, there was no longer a snort.

"When I rescued you, I was all unconscious, and Xie Tianhui's injuries were too serious." Bai Jin took out a few broken arrows from the side, all of which were as thick as fingers. "They all shot through his body, and they were all critical, and he was out of breath when he got on the boat."

Bai Jin didn't ask what happened, he had been going on for decades, and he should also understand that the more he knew, the worse it was, but the general can call Bai Jin brothers, and I am especially relieved that Bai Jin, who can make the general treat each other, I will also respect and trust.

Without Xie Tianhui, I would have died in Jieshi Palace, this person I saw for the first time, but did everything to protect me to live until now, he has too many secrets that have not been solved, but now I can't ask the answer, but no matter what, Xie Tianhui has a life-saving grace for us.

I stepped forward, helped him tidy up his clothes, untied his cloak and covered his body, Bai Jin said next to him: "The Xie family has rules, no corpse is left after death, where the death is burned, since Xie Tianhui died at sea, the dead are the greatest, respect the rules of the Xie family, send him away on the sea, I see you are with him, there must be something between you, so wait for you to wake up and decide." ”

"Break the Radiant on the sea? He, there is no one in his house, we burned him like this, how can we explain to his family when we go back? Tian Ji asked.

"Xie Tianhui has nothing to worry about, and he is the only one in the Xie family." Bai Jin said.
