The sun rises and sets.

The ferry sailed on the sea for several days, and during the day the sun was scorching, and there was nothing to shelter from it, and at night it was cold and shivering.

In addition, they had very little food and drink, so they could only catch some small fish and shrimp floating by, or seaweed, and after only a few days, Qingyin was hungry and weak, her face was pale, and she lay on the bow of the boat, muttering in her mouth: "Water, water......"

Wei Xiao used her sleeve to block the poisonous sun above her head, and said to Xin Di, "How far are we from the land?"

Xin Di laughed: "It's not far, it's almost there." ”

Wei Xiao said: "It's almost there, when will it arrive?"

Xin Di paddled and said unhurriedly: "Ten days and half a month." ”

Wei Xiao stared at him.

"Ouch, you seem to have murderous aura in your eyes, people are so afraid!" Xin Diwei screamed, and then said: "A ferry, if you don't go through reincarnation, or you shuttle between the two worlds, and the worst is to go to the other side, so it's as short as a few days, as long as a year, and ten days and half a month is indeed not too long for the ferry messenger." ”

Wei Xiao heard what he said reasonable, slowly loosened his fist, and asked, "Then do you have a way to get fresh water?"

"Fresh water?" Xin Di chuckled, "Unless it's raining in the sky!"

Wei Xiao glanced at the clear sky, which didn't seem to show the slightest sign of rain, and asked, "Don't you drink water yourself?"

Xin Di swallowed: "If there is really no water to drink, I will drink my own blood, will you?"

Wei Xiao raised his left arm without saying a word, rolled up his sleeves, and moved his right hand like a knife, cut his wrist, and sent it to Qingyin's mouth: "Drink it, the water is here." ”

Qingyin was dizzy and thirsty, uncomfortable, and opened her mouth obediently when she heard the words.

A thick slurry like a clear spring flowed into her mouth, she sucked greedily, and licked her lips at the end: "It's delicious, is there anything else?"

"Also," Wei Xiao helped her up and sat down, leaning against the bow of the boat: "If you want to drink, you can have it at any time." ”

Qingyin's eyes froze, and then he saw the blood marks on his left wrist, and exclaimed: "Brother Wei Xiao, I drank it just now, is it your ......?"

"Just a little blood. Wei Xiao smiled: "It's not in the way." ”

Qingyin dipped her finger in her lips, saw that her fingertips were a little red, and said, "I actually ...... I actually drank the blood of Brother Wei Xiao......"

She looked at her fingertips apologetically, so sad that she almost cried.

"Does his blood taste good?" Xin Di interjected coldly.

Qingyin is a girl's heart after all, and while she is sad, she can't help but nod and reply: "It's delicious." ”

After thinking for a while, he said, "No, I've heard that human blood is salty and smells like rust. ”

Xin Di snorted coldly: "The blood of the Heavenly Realm Martial God General is of course different from that of mortals. ”

His voice was too small for Qingyin to hear clearly, and said, "What did you say?"

"I said," Xin Di coughed dryly, glanced at Wei Xiao, after all, he was a little jealous, and covered up: "Although this sea water is salty, but there is really no fresh water, you can drink a little less to save the emergency." ”

"Really?" Qingyin picked up a handful of seawater from the bow of the boat and said happily: "So, I don't have to drink Brother Wei Xiao's blood!"

"Don't worry, drink it, you can't kill it. "Xin Di is rare and patient.

Qingyin picked up the seawater, brought it close to her lips, and took a big sip.

But he heard Xin Di say again: "Although you can't drink the dead, but this sea area is still above the sinking of the Fengyan Continent, and I don't know how many human and animal corpses have been soaked in the seawater, and they emit a corrosive and fishy smell, and the taste is probably not good." ”

Qingyin squirted out a mouthful of seawater, and couldn't help but vomit loudly.

Xin Di couldn't help but laugh strangely, with a face that had succeeded in his conspiracy.

Wei Xiao hurriedly patted Qingyin's back: "Spit it out, the seawater soaked in the corpse is poisonous!"

Qingyin vomited for a long time, and spit out all the small fish and shrimp that she had eaten before, seeing that there was nothing to vomit about, but she kept lying on the bow of the boat and didn't get up, her shoulders trembling.

"What's wrong, Qingyin?" Wei Xiao asked softly.

Qingyin suddenly cried out loud with a "wow".

"Brother Wei Xiao, I miss Master! I think of my compatriots buried under this sea, they are just like my parents, brothers, and sisters, but now they are sleeping under such cold waters, thousands of them, aren't they cold? Are they not afraid of loneliness? They ...... They are all people who the Master sacrificed to become a Buddha and want to save!"

"Don't cry, Qingyin, don't cry. Wei Xiao patted her on the back.

The girl suddenly turned around and threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face: "I miss Master so much...... Sometimes I look at the boundless waters and want to jump down and follow Master, but I don't even know where Master's soul has gone after he dies, or has he been wiped out and can never be reborn? Has he gone to the underworld? Or has he been reincarnated as a human being? Or is he scattered somewhere to escape and sleep?"

"Don't cry, the ship will sink. Wei Xiao said: "Perhaps, your master is not dead!"

Qingyin's cry was really much quieter, and she desperately endured it, turning into a low sob.

"Really?" she raised her watery eyes and looked at him pitifully and expectantly, "Is Master really not dead?"

"Well, yes. Wei Xiao said: "The Buddha's heart relics are indestructible, all things are not broken, since your master has refined the Buddha's heart relics, he maybe," he stagnated, and said: "Maybe he will come back!"

He knew he was lying.

In the face of such a great change in heaven and earth, even if it is a high-ranking monk who reaches the sky, there is only one in ten thousand that the soul can survive.

But the naïve girl was completely convinced.

Perhaps, she would rather choose to believe.

She looked at Wei Xiao without blinking.

At that moment, she saw her brother Wei Xiao, his eyes were blue, as blue as the sky behind her, the endless sea.

At that moment, it was forever reflected in the heart of the girl Qingyin, and it was so beautiful that it was like a dream.

That year, the girl Qingyin had just turned sixteen.

She never knew that this big brother-like man would come into her life in the future, turning her life upside down and depicting a colorful legend.

It's just that that's a long, long time later.

At that time, she didn't know how guilty Wei Xiao felt when answering the word "yes".

Xin Di looked at the two people on the boat, and his always cynical face calmed down thoughtfully.

The long journey at sea passes in the monotony of day after day.

On this day, when Qingyin was counting the days again, Xin Di suddenly spoke: "Qingyin, do you want to hear the story?"

"Listen to the story?" Qingyin suddenly came to his senses and sat up from the bow of the boat: "Uncle Xindi, do you know how to tell a story?"

Xin Di pursed his lips: "I have been a ferryman for 3,700 years, and I have seen the stories of countless people, some of them are persistent, some are tragic, some are angry, and some are broken, which one do you want to hear?"

Wei Xiao was sitting cross-legged on the boat, after a few days of recovery, his injuries all over his body had healed a lot, and when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked at Xin Di: "Don't you want to fight any hell of a thing!"

"How come?" Xin Di snorted: "I just see that this girl is bored, tell her a story to relieve her boredom, you don't want to be kind to donkey liver and lungs." ”

"I want to hear stories, Brother Wei Xiao!" Qingyin pulled his arm and coquettishly.

Wei Xiao had no choice but to be silent.

Xin Di said: "Legend has it, at the end of the universe for hundreds of millions of years, when the heavens and the earth first opened, several ancient gods opened the heavens and the earth, and incarnated all things in the heavens and the earth and the three worlds, and in order to make the three worlds able to communicate news, the gods of the heavenly realms, the emperors of the human world and the emperors of the underworld were saved from war and strife. ”

Qingyin was curious when she heard it: "Hey, there is such a place, where is it?"

Xin Di blinked: "That's a secret! Except for the ferryman, among the Three Realms, there are very few who can know about its existence. ”

Qingyin nodded when she heard this: "Yes, if there are many people who know about the Santu River, then I don't know what kind of chaos will happen between the Three Realms." ”

Xin Di said: "On this day, I received a ferry task to pick up a monk to cross the river......

Qingyin interjected, "What day is this?"

Xin Di glared at her dissatisfied: "Don't interrupt my train of thought!"

Qingyin stuck out her tongue.

Xin Di continued: "That monk, like your master, is a monk who has attained the Tao, wearing a white robe, with upright eyebrows, fairy wind and Buddha bones, and looks a little weak, as soon as he gets on my boat, he meditates cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, and he doesn't say a word. ”

Qingyin listened with interest: "I thought that I was the only one handsome monk in heaven and earth, and my master also loved to wear white robes, Uncle Xin, you said, could he be the same person as my master, his doppelganger, or his previous life?"

Xin Di glanced at her: "Is it me telling the story or do you say?"

Qingyin immediately obediently stopped squeaking.

Xin Di coughed and said: "This monk frowned slightly as soon as he came up, and his destination is Santuchuan, I know that he must have something on his mind, and what he wants to do must be very important to him, so he didn't bother him, just rocked the boat silently." In this way, the two of us shook one and sat the other, and we rowed for five days and four nights, silently facing each other, without saying a word. ”

"On the night of the fifth day, we passed by a ferry, the name of that ferry is 'Ghost Sorrow', which means that the ghost will be worried, because that place is the place where the human world exiles the evil and heinous cultivators, and occasionally there will be evil gods in the heavenly realm descending here, and the whole day and night are full of fighting, plundering, calculating, bullying the weak, etc., even at the ferry, you will hear the sound of swords and soldiers in the distance, and you can see the light of the vicious battle of magic weapons and weapons in the air. ”

"As my boat passed through the crossing, a torch suddenly lit up at the crossing, and a girl covered in blood and hair ran toward the ferry, calling for help, and behind her were three fierce men chasing her, each with a knife and a torch in his hand. ”

Qingyin became nervous when she heard this, and her heart was pounding: "Then, uncle, did you save her?"

Xin Di sighed.

"I didn't want to save it, but when I got to a place like this, I just wanted to row the boat over as quickly as possible. Just as I was about to row the boat to the crossing, the girl had been struck down by the strong men behind her, and they pounced on her like eagles catching chickens, and while smiling, they tore her clothes, and the girl struggled desperately, crying and begging them to let her go, saying that she was a sinful person, and that she was born to kill all who had anything to do with her. ”

"The two men hesitated, and the third man said, 'What does it matter?' as long as we play with her and kill her with a knife, won't she be able to stop us?' The other two laughed, and the three of them went to arrest her. ”

Qingyin's body trembled when she heard it, and her eyes widened, as if what happened to that girl happened to her, and she said in a trembling voice: "That...... And what about later?"

She only felt that her throat was dry, and the words didn't seem to come out of her mouth.
