Chapter 34: The Dreams I Harbored in Those Years

The sky is quiet tonight.

After Xiao Beichen recovered from his serious illness, his friends often made an appointment to play on the green lawn at the bottom of the mountain.

The aura of the grass and trees at the foot of the mountain is like a trickle, and the aura around them is dense, and the hazy starlight envelops the children's surroundings. This is a place to regulate the breath, and it is also suitable for cultivation.

Qiu Li was very obsessed with spiritual practice, and even on such a relaxing day today, he couldn't help but close his eyes in this place. The pure essence of plants and trees poured into the body, and the gentle green glow was constantly moisturizing.

The small lake next to it is very clear, like a jewel, and the blue sky and white clouds are clearly reflected in it. Surrounded by vines, colorful flowers are in full bloom, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers permeates the entire forest.

"Beichen, your neighborhood is so beautiful, we will come here often to play in the future. Xiao Yan's voice was still like cotton, soft and sweet. She was only an eight- or nine-year-old child, but the smile in her eyes seemed to be able to shine the whole starry sky.

"Uh-huh. Xiao Beichen nodded and smiled. He turned his head, looked at the quiet sky, and lay down.

Koiwa and Taniwa also lay down naturally. Qiu Li, who had been meditating, noticed some small movement, opened his eyes, followed the gaze of the other three, and then also lay down.

Xiao Beichen looked at everyone, looked around again, and did not speak. It seems that everyone deliberately maintains a bit of tranquility.

The starry sky is particularly quiet tonight, and the starlight is brighter than usual, but still soft and pleasant.

It's summer, and those gnats, crickets, and frogs who haven't slept are actually playing lyrical songs one after another in the fields and in the tree gaps. There is a small river flowing in the distance, and the sound of trickling water adds a lot of accompaniment to this piece.

The fragrant flowers and leaves next to it look particularly charming on this ordinary night.

In this way, the four of them lay on the same lawn, and the cool breeze was blowing.

Xiao Beichen discovered for the first time what beauty is. Simple times, sincere friends, and natural beauty make up the best memories of childhood. He didn't know why, he cherished the simplicity and sincerity so much.

......

......

Time passed little by little, and I don't know whose voice stirred up countless thoughts.

"What do you want to do when you grow up?"

This is Chuli's voice. His voice was as low and calm as ever, but it was a little less cold than usual, but a little more approachable.

Xiao Yan was most excited when he heard this, sat up vigorously, and said, "When I grow up, I must grow into a peerless beauty like my mother, and then marry a boy like my father." ”

"Look at your unproductive appearance...... Gu Yin couldn't help but sneer.

"You're so amazing, what do you want to do? Believe it or not, I'm shaking you out about looking in the mirror every day......"

"Little Rock...... I don't take you like this. ”

"Hahaha......"

Every time they heard the conversation between the two brothers and sisters, Xiao Beichen and Qiu Li couldn't help but smile at each other. This time, it's the same.

Xiao Beichen blinked curiously and asked, "Senior brother, what do you want to do?"

Gu Yin preemptively said, "Isn't his ideal obvious...... Look at him like that, just like my father, he is a Taoist idiot. I guess, he is dedicated to cultivating the Dao and detaching himself from the world. ”

A quiet smile appeared on Qiu Li's face, and he said slowly, "You're only half right, but I'm not bent on getting out of the world. I want to be a hero, I want to stand at the highest point in this world, I want all eyes to be on me. Speaking of this, there was a glimmer of light on his face hidden in the night.

"Why do you want everyone's eyes to be on you? Won't you be scared of this feeling?" asked Xiao Beichen.

"Scared? Chuli sat up suddenly. Even in the dark night, Xiao Beichen could see his expression that suddenly became serious.

He paused for a few seconds and continued, "When I was little, my dad left us behind. My mother, who also died of illness, told myself at that time that one day I would be stronger so that I could protect the people I wanted to protect and make those who abandoned me regret it. ”

The black eyes were like stars, and a trace of sadness swept by, although it was fleeting, it was seen by Xiao Beichen. He blinked, his face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, and his heart was even more mixed.

From the first day he met Qiu Li, he felt that this senior brother was different. But he never thought that he would be an orphan like himself.

"Senior brother, you can. Xiao Beichen said quietly.

Gu Yin and Xiao Yan also seemed to notice something strange and sat up as well.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "You are the strongest among us, I believe you will be able to." ”

Qiu Li smiled, then looked at Xiao Beichen and asked softly, "What about you?"

"Yes, yes, Beichen, what about you?" asked Xiao Yan, holding his cheeks.

Xiao Beichen was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.

He never thought about the future. For him, it's good to be able to live the moment. If the cold on his body can be stabilized and not increase further, Master will not have to run around for him all day long. This is my greatest wish.

But if you really want to think of something else, it's not for nothing.

This wish was also made after arriving at the academy.

"Beichen, what are you doing in a daze?" Xiao Yan looked at him, and under his long eyelashes was a pair of eyes full of expectation.

Xiao Beichen came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "I...... I want to go down. ”

"Go down the mountain? What is this, just let your master take you there. ”

"I want to go down the mountain and see the mountains and rivers of this continent, and see the islands floating on the sea. Xiao Beichen's voice was still very low. That's because of his cowardice - he didn't even dare to look up, for fear of seeing the slightest hint of disdain.

However, when he looked up, he saw a pair of piercing eyes.

"You're awesome, I never wanted to go out. When my dad was young, he was also very adrift, but since my mother had us, he has been living here. When I was very young, I also went to the holy capital thousands of miles away, but in fact, there is no difference between it and here. Xiao Yan said with a smile, with a warm glint in his eyes.

"When we grow up, we can protect ourselves, and many things can follow our hearts. Beichen, senior brother believes that you will get better. Qiu Li said slowly.

"Thank you, brother. Xiao Beichen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. This dream, which he didn't believe in when he said it, did not accept any skeptical eyes, but was a sincere encouragement.

He grew up in this area since he was a child, and he walked everywhere he could. Every river, every flock of birds, every tree, and this starry sky here is something he thinks is very beautiful.

But since he walked into the small library of the mirror, he found that the world is so big, and there are so many things he has never seen.

In the book house, at least half of them record the stories of the spiritual capital, the demon capital, the demon capital, and the holy capital. The four capitals of this continent have always been described by the master as thrilling and dangerous, but they are described very brilliantly in the book. The spiritual spring of the spiritual capital, the desert of the demon capital, the grassland of the demon capital, and the holy mountain of the holy capital all stir the heart of an adventurous teenager.

In addition to these interesting facts, there are also some legends. For example, the love story of the immortals of the Celestial Clan, the battle story between the Protoss and the ancient beasts, and the story of the grievances between the Dragon Clan and the Mermaid Clan. Although I don't know if it's true or not, it makes Xiao Beichen's quiet and somewhat boring childhood a little more colorful.

What he was most curious about was how the continent where the Protoss lived was destroyed. If the galaxy is really going to collapse, and even the powerful Protoss has to sacrifice the continent they live on to protect other territories, then will the continent of Middle-earth one day also face destruction?

Of course, an eight-year-old child would think that he was worrying about it in the eyes of any adult. But he seems to have been born to think about these things, and he is often confused by them.

The children sat quietly on the lawn, no longer talking, letting the cool breeze blow across their faces and the stars shine on their bodies. Perhaps at this moment, some seeds of dreams are being sown in everyone's hearts, waiting for the season to bloom......
