Chapter 111: Towering Trees
The quiet sky is a gray-blue sea, and the stars grow luxuriantly, stretching to the end of the eye, it is like a heavenly path, guiding people to the deep secrets.
Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing were lying on the Three Realms Mountain, blowing a cool breeze, looking at each other with the stars.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Shouxi has been away from the old world for more than a year, except for memory, he has no tokens on his body to remember, thinking about it, it seems that only the girl next to him has become a reference, so that he can remember the past and the future road.
Mu Shijing also had similar thoughts.
Whenever she calmly looked at the night sky, she always felt that this sky was so thin that it seemed to be able to tear it open with her fingers, and behind the sky, there was another world.
Many poems she had memorized in her childhood came to her mind, and at this moment, her red lips fluttered, and she read them softly, as if she was talking to herself.
When she read 'It seems that this star was not last night', the girl also fell silent unconsciously, and a sense of ethereal emptiness of the boundless avenue of heaven and earth poured into her heart, as if her past self and the present were no longer the same person. She reached out to grab something, but there was only a fleeting night breeze between her fingers.
Cool nights are the most poignant.
Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing were lying together, the young man was handsome, the girl was beautiful, they were both dressed in black and had black hair, as if they were made in heaven, but they were obviously so close, but they never looked at each other.
Mu Shijing sat up suddenly, stretched her body, her black dress was already loose, she was wearing it casually at the moment, her clothes slipped to one side, and you could see her bare shoulders, and her shoulders were glowing milky white in the moonlight.
Lin Shouxi looked at her side face and thought of Xiao He again, if there was a petite and delicate Xiao He beside him at this moment, he should be able to hug her into his arms......
Mu Shijing is cold and cold, like a thorny flower, in the past world, she is the descendant of the Daomen, and she is a well-deserved first beauty, even if she is now showing the delicacy of her youthful body like a demon, it only makes people feel appreciation, not any blasphemy.
"Are you really okay?" Lin Shouxi asked suddenly.
Mu Shijing thought that he was asking himself, and just wanted to ridicule this hypocritical concern, but saw that the direction he was looking at was the heart of the keel. Mu Shijing also looked at the huge heart covered with colorful scales, and the three-flowered cat was struggling to write, writing with red eyes, and there was no appearance of exhaustion of talent.
This state of affairs is clearly not right......
How could anyone write like that? What's more, the three-flowered cat is a dragon, and it is not an evil god with tentacles.
"I ...... I'm fine. When the three-flowered cat spoke, it was already clearly weak.
The sound of the heartbeat seemed to weaken as the night wore on.
The cats themselves knew that they had serious problems.
The memory of the King of Turquoise continued to invade it, and it had been invading for a whole day, and only constant writing could alleviate it, but gradually, writing became a thirst-quenching thing, and it no longer even knew what it was writing, and it was almost impossible to remember what the main character's name was.
It's losing track of who it is.
It has only been a year since it was born, and the truly profound memory of the past year is only this time, although it is dangerous and beautiful, enough to remember for a lifetime, but when the memory of the king of Cangbi grows up to the point that he does not know the years, its short one-year life is like a target made of blank paper, welcoming tens of thousands of iron arrows that come through the air.
It's a miracle that it lasts for a day.
The day of the broken wall is only the starting point of its memory, its memory is constantly regressing, through the long sleep, this keel is like a living history book, from which you can spy on the changes of the world throughout the ages, glaciers, lava, floods, meteorites...... In the depths of its memory, there seemed to be countless pairs of unpredictable eyes of the old god, and it knew that if it remembered there, it would be completely devoured and become the second king of the blue sky.
The Scales Sect didn't know if they had expected this situation, but in any case, Zhong Wushi and Du Che were dead, and they couldn't ask any questions.
Lin Shouxi took its manuscript and flipped through it for a moment, his brows furrowed.
He guessed that Sanhua might be facing some problems, but the problem seemed to be more serious than he thought.
"Talk to me." The cat said, "My head seems to be a little dizzy. ”
"Okay."
Lin Shouxi got up, jumped to the white bones near the heart, stretched out his hand to touch the surface of the heart, and unexpectedly felt cold.
Mu Shijing raised some legs, hooked the small pointed-toe shoes that were in the way with his fingers, and also came to Lin Shouxi's side, sitting on a huge bone.
"What do you want to talk about?" Mu Shijing asked.
"Tell me your story." Sanhua cat said.
"Our story?"
Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing glanced at each other, and both shook their heads: "We don't have a story." ”
"Eh, aren't you old enemies? Didn't you know each other for a long time? ”
"Although we are old enemies, our enmity is forged by our masters, not ourselves." Lin Shouxi said: "I have really known her for only seven days. ”
"That's it......" the three-flowered cat regretted, and it was rare for it to play a little trick, "but I just want to hear the story." ”
"Then let him tell him about his love affair with his fiancée." Mu Shijing said.
She is also quite curious about Lin Shouxi's fiancée.
"This ...... There's not much to talk about. Lin Shouxi didn't shy away from this, but for some reason, he didn't want to talk about it in front of Mu Shijing.
"And what kind of person is she?" Sanhua Cat asked.
"Gentle and kind people."
"Are you obedient?"
"Of course."
"I don't believe it, you have such a soft temperament, you must be bullied by your fiancée every day." Sanhua cat said.
"How is it possible, she is very obedient to me." Lin Shouxi insisted, "You'll understand when you see her in the future." ”
The three-flowered cat will be skeptical, and Mu Shijing will not believe it at all.
"So, there's really no way for you to get married, right?" The three-flowered cat is weak.
"Why do you always worry about this?" Mu Shijing asked.
"Because then I can gain the ability to speak my way, and I can get myself out of this heart." Sanhua cat said.
Ever since it learned how to do it, its words have never been wonderfully fulfilled, and it can only pin its hopes on the prophecies of the past......
"It's not about marriage or not." Mu Shijing said: "This is about true feelings, even if we pretend to marry you in order to fulfill it, I'm afraid your ability will not take effect." ”
"Then you can't be sincere...... said weakly.
"Do you want to leave this body so much?"
Compared with marriage, Lin Shouxi is more concerned about the current situation of Sanhua cat.
"Hmm...... Inside, there's a little stuffiness. Sanhua cat said.
"Is it just boring?"
"Hmmm......"
Sanhua Cat was vague.
"Okay, okay, since there is no story, you go down first, I'm going to continue writing a book." The three-flowered cat said in as lively a tone as possible in its heart, and deep down, when reason had not yet been swallowed up, it finally made a decision.
Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing were urged to drive off the keel.
Lin Shouxi repeatedly asked about the Sanhua cat's condition at the moment, but the Sanhua cat insisted that he was okay at all, but he was feeling a little tired, so he asked them not to worry or bother, it just wanted to sleep for a while.
Since the day before yesterday, Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing had not slept either, at this time, in the dead of night, the autumn breeze was cool, they also felt sleepy, and after lying on the mountain rock for a while, they were a little half-asleep and half-awake.
"What if we were really engaged as children?" Mu Shijing closed his eyes, and his words were like a dream.
"It's not going to be good." Lin Shouxi said: "Marriage can only bring short-term peace, the concept of the Demon Gate is different, this is something that will inevitably detonate, if we are really engaged, in the end, it will only be a doomed tragedy." ”
"Hmm." Mu Shijing nodded.
The Demon Dao is destined to be incompatible, and their harmony can only be exchanged for the end of the other side.
"My senior brother and sister...... Are they okay? Lin Shouxi asked softly.
"How do I know?" Mu Shijing said lightly.
She came with Lin Shouxi, of course she didn't know what happened after the fall of the Demon Gate.
"Then what kind of person is your master......" Lin Shouxi asked again.
He wanted to return to the past world, he wanted to save his master, but now he had no clues, and this emotion could only turn into a vague worry.
"Don't worry, Shizun should not be a person who loves to kill." Mu Shijing said.
She was also a little worried.
She didn't know those people in the Demon Gate, she didn't care about them, she just didn't want to become mortal enemies with the young man next to her.
Lin Shouxi didn't ask again.
He leaned against the rock, looked at the Three Realms Village from another angle, looked at the towering sacred mulberry tree in the darkness, and gradually closed his eyes.
Even if he closed his eyes and recuperated, he held the Zhangong Sword in his hand and waited for it to shine at any time.
But no.
Lin Shouxi didn't know that after the death of the Time and Space Demon God, the last time and space it connected also collapsed, but there seemed to be a strong wish attached to the Zhan Palace Sword, and this wish was conveyed to Lin Shouxi's heart along the sword.
Like a dream, Lin Shouxi saw Xiaoyu again.
In an empty wooden house, Xiao Yu stood quietly, the usual brightness between her eyebrows disappeared, replaced by a hatred and perseverance that did not match her age, the scars on her cold face had not healed, her immature face had not smiled, she no longer wore the iconic fire dragon clothes, but instead wore a monotonous plain clothes, with a small yellow flower pinned to the arm of the clothes.
It represents the loss of a loved one.
Whisper...... What's wrong?
Lin Shouxi felt strange, he called her name softly, but the whisper didn't seem to hear it at all, she just stared quietly ahead, with a terrifying calm in her eyes.
"Is that all?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Well, ......that's all I found," said the other apologetically, "the ruins are still being cleared, and we're still sending people to find them." ”
"No need." Xiao Yu shook his head slightly, looked ahead, and said, "It's enough to have it." ”
Xiao Yu said something to the man, Xiao Yu listened quietly, Mu Ran nodded, and there was bottomless sadness in his calm eyes.
She knelt in front of the sword, her head bowed, and she didn't move, as if she could kneel like this all the time.
There are quite a few people behind her, most of them their peers.
They also cast many glances, some pitying, some angry, some mocking, some gloating...... Xiao Yu didn't seem to feel anything, she just lightly put her hand on the sword.
At least the sword was found......
This is the only fortunate thing that Xiaoyu has experienced among the countless disasters she has experienced in these days.
She wants to contact Master, she wants to tell Master what kind of disaster she has experienced, and she also wants to tell Master that she has survived, and she has also learned a lot of things that she didn't understand in the past, and she wants to practice, become a real immortal, investigate the truth behind this matter, and ...... for her parents Settle an old score.
She hadn't spoken a word for days, and the only person she wanted to talk to now was Master.
"Master......"
The people of the wooden house dispersed one after another, and the twilight entered obliquely through the window, Xiao Yu knelt in front of the sword, and finally stretched out her hand tremblingly, she tried to squeeze out a smile, but her expression was far-fetched and sad.
The other end of the sword did not respond.
The setting sun fades in color.
Xiao Yu put his hand on the sword and waited quietly.
Master may have something to do......
Thinking so, she sat down in front of the sword and waited quietly, but she waited for nothing until the morning sun rose.
……
I don't know how much time has passed.
"What kind of person is your master?" An old man with white hair and long eyebrows asked her with a whisk in his hand.
Xiaoyu also seems to have grown a little taller.
She was stopped by this question, and only said in a hesitant manner: "Master is a patient, kind, and gentle ......"
"I'm asking specifically, name, age." The old man was holding a pen and recording something.
Xiao Yu couldn't say anything.
"If you don't know anything, the mountain gate can't help you find it." The old man put his pen away and sighed.
Xiao Yu recalled for a long time, and finally just said: "There seems to be a muddy river where Master lives, and there is a village there, and there are dragons, snakes, and so on......
"None?"
"Nope."
The old man left, leaving Xiaoyu in a daze.
I don't know how long it has been.
The old man is back.
He really brought the news.
The people sent by Yunkong Mountain found the Turbidity River and found the python body Canglong statue in Dragon Scale Town, where there is indeed the Three Realms Mountain, but there is no Three Realms Village at all, below the Three Realms Mountain, there is a terrible ruin, even if there were villages and houses here, I am afraid they have already been destroyed.
"Who destroyed it?" Xiaoyu has thought about countless possibilities these days, but when she really has to face it, she still feels unacceptable.
"Probably ...... Dragon. The old man said.
"Dragon ......"
It's a dragon again.
Xiao Yu was unable to support it, fell to the ground, and broke down and cried.
She understood, she understood completely......
The dragon who destroyed Master's village must be the Blue Pupil Dragon King, on the day of her monthly test, the King of Cangbi woke up, destroyed countless villages along the way, and finally crashed into the Divine Wall, she had the protection of the Divine Wall and her relatives, and survived by luck, but there was nothing outside the city......
Although it is no coincidence that there is no book, even if fate wants to teach her to grow, there is no need to kill everything so cruelly, leaving her alone......
Xiao Yu hugged the sword and couldn't cry.
The old man did not leave, and he told another story after the girl had cried.
"According to the seekers, he also saw a tree in the ruins."
"One Tree ......"
"Well, it's a filthy land, and no crops should have grown, but a tree has grown there." The old man said.
"Tree, Tree ......"
The whisper was sluggish.
Something suddenly occurred to her.
The old man said this only to encourage her, to tell her that no matter how barren she was in the filthy ruins, there would be seeds of hope that would break through the ground and take root.
But Xiaoyu doesn't think so.
She immediately thought of the seeds she had obtained after winning the monthly test, and when she and Chu Miao were running away, she had accidentally thrown out the envelope containing the seeds and hung them on the dragon's body.
Won't it ......
No, how is this possible......
She felt that her conjecture was absurd, but her subconscious told her that such an absurd conjecture was probably true!
But, but ......
Hasn't the dragon been killed, hasn't it been captured by the sacred mountain and soaked in the divine turbidity, how could the seeds fall outside the city?
Could it be ......
Xiao Yu's back was drenched in cold sweat, and she recalled the scene of the dragon breaking the city again, and suddenly realized.
yes, how could such a creature be captured? When Kamiyama said this, he just wanted to calm people's hearts......
"What's wrong with you?" The old man asked suspiciously.
"It's all right, sir."
Xiao Yu shook her head, she looked at the ancient sword she named 'Zhan Gong' on the side, and said softly: "I believe that it will grow up well, and by the time I go there next time, it must have grown into a ......."
"Towering trees."
The girl's voice drifted away.
Lin Shouxi woke up from his dream and burst into tears.
In front of his eyes, the dragon rose into the air, its wings rolled up and the wind whistled, and the sacred mulberry tree in the distance swayed in the wind.
……
Mu Shijing woke up at some point.
She also looked in the direction of the Divine Mulberry Tree, and she showed a look of disbelief, and whispered:
"Master ......"
Lin Shouxi found that there was an extra figure on the sacred mulberry tree.
The shadow standing with the sword drawn.
She was so small compared to the giant tree, but once she saw it, she couldn't ignore it.
The woman looked over, but instead of them, she looked at the dragon, and the anger and hatred in her eyes seemed to have been precipitated for tens of thousands of years.
