Everything is like a bucket and the stars are moving, vivid, like a dream, but everything is real and visible, just like today.

"My name is Mercy, and you have stayed on the island of Forgetfulness from this day onwards under my protection. But I'm not your master, and you're not my apprentice. I won't teach you any spells, and likewise, you're not allowed to learn from anyone on the island, let alone leave the island without my permission. But correspondingly, I want you to memorize all the books you can see engraved on the cloud wall when you come here every day to clean. It's three thousand, you don't understand what it means, naturally you don't know anything, but you have to memorize them all, word for word. ”

It was the first time Qiu Shaohu saw the scene of Mercy Mo, and at that time, Qiu Shaohu still thought that this woman looked very young, but she really looked like a fairy, and she came to this island from the barren snow-capped mountain in the blink of an eye. After that, I also agreed to this agreement......

"The tea you make is so good, much better than mine, do you like tea?" Tasting the tea brewed by Qiu Shaohu, Lianmo exclaimed.

"I know tea," Qiu Shaohu paused, adding, "but I never drink it." ”

understands tea because he once deliberately learned it in order to please the powerful; If he doesn't drink, he didn't have this opportunity because he was once poor......

"Even if you have a pure heart and few desires, you still can't smooth out the rebellion in your heart." Mercy Mo seemed to sigh, "People are like boats crossing the sea, the heart is like stopping the water, it is flat, the movement is not quiet, and the waves are reborn, and it is difficult to cross the other side of the road since then." You still didn't listen to what I told you in my ordinary life. ”

"The water rises because of the wind and goes down because of the situation, and it is said that the humiliation is not shocked, but in fact it is just a prelude to the waves. Water has stillness, nature has ripple marks, the two are one, why admit one side but deny the other? ”

Qiu Shaohu said: "I also understand the truths you told me; The sages of Forgetful Island left behind many classics, and it is also very beneficial for me to read them repeatedly, and I understand this. But no matter how much I try to find the chapters and sentences, what sentence makes me blind to the pain of the past? Even if there is a great reason, why should I be asked to be angry with my enemies? ”

On more than one occasion, he and Mercy Mo had similar arguments. The immortal gate is pure, and it is incompatible with him after all......

"You went fishing on the beach again, and you caused a lot of commotion, causing other disciples to watch and have no intention of cultivating! You have been on the island for a long time, why are you still so uncalm. Senior Brother Meng Chen reproached him.

"Originally, I just wanted to make a small fish and fight tooth sacrifices, but I didn't expect to meet a big one." Qiu Shaohu didn't care.

"You grandstand and delay everyone's cultivation!" Dusty said in a deep voice.

"Wherever the fairy road goes, it is the choice of the heart. They're coming here on their own, am I wrong? ”

"You have created and killed evil, and all living beings can't bear it!"

"All things are born and nourished, and they are not forced by one person. Life and death are commonplace, and all beasts are feasible, but I can't? ”

"Eating meat is contaminated with filth and fish, and it defiles the holy land of Xianmen!"

"Grass and papaya fruits are born from the soil, and they are born from filth, is it really noble? Meat is born after the living beings themselves absorb nutrients, and the essence left behind is nourishing, and what is discarded is impurity and filth, and there is one more screening, isn't it purer? ”

"Do you think you can hide it from others? You've come to the beach three times, all trying to figure out the sea conditions, and you're planning to leave the island! ”

"I don't know what you're up to, I just want you to dispel it as soon as possible. The path of cultivation is vast and arduous, and the young disciples are impetuous, and the prosperity of the outside world is a great temptation for them. Forgetthe Island is beyond the world, so they can barely suppress their desire to play. If you set a precedent, others will run away, and then how will they resist the erosion of the world? Do you really want to harm others because of your own selfishness? ”

"Besides, there are already restrictions around Forgetful Island, and you can't leave at all—unless you can fly out of the sea like Master Mercy Mo!"

Those were the words that Dusty had warned him before he was ready to leave. It stands to reason that he really can't get out of the island of forgetfulness, but this time, he was wrong.

At the end of the sea, only on the island of Forgetfulness can you see the stars surging during the day, and the morning sun is accompanied by the stars.

On that day, Qiu Shaohu saw that the starlight that was abundant all the time automatically converged, divided into two neat rows, and turned into two neat rows, which were yin and yang of each other, as if a big road had been opened up from the sea. Corresponding to the sunlight in the sky, it is very bright.

Those starlights, according to certain laws, also converged in Qiu Shaohu's eyes, allowing him to penetrate everything.

With his amber eyes.

……

In the cabin of the passenger ship "Hmm......", Qiu Shaohu slowly woke up by leaning on a chair. He didn't expect that he would still dream about things on the island of forgetfulness, and the reason for waking up was that he was woken up by the sounds around him.

Leaving Lizhou for Chaomen, he changed to a passenger ship halfway to avoid being found directly. But this ship was not as clean as before, and it was crowded with merchants from the north and south, and the people were in an uproar.

Especially the three or five people at the other table recently, they spoke very loudly, and it was almost like no one was around.

"Brother Zhou's overseas travel this time can be regarded as a return to his hometown."

"Where, where, Brother Zhang praised it."

"Hey, how can this be regarded as Brother Zhang's false praise, Brother Zhou, you are in the overseas islands this time, and once you come down, you have earned gold and silver in the country of exchange, just taking overseas copper, it is simply a city, this time back, your old man must be very happy."

"I don't know what Brother Zhou is going to do when he comes back this time? Could it be that you want to go to the court to ask for an official? In the DPRK, there are high-ranking officials to protect them, and there are connections below, so it is much more convenient to do anything. ”

"What kind of official, I get angry when I look at those errand commanders, I think if Brother Zhou chooses, it is better to find a good martial artist to worship his subordinates, and learn a good skill, I see who dares to bully."

"You're really short-sighted, don't do a good business, be a martial artist. Brother Zhou came back this time, I guess he must be reviving the family business! ”

The man surnamed Zhou was so complimented by his companion, and said polite words, but the joy on his face was overflowing.

"Well, cough-" Qiu Shaohu couldn't help it, coughed dryly, and motioned to them. Not for anything else, these people are too noisy.

Only then did these people notice him, and after the person surnamed Zhou looked him up and down, he immediately came up and took the initiative to talk: "In the next Zhou Fuyun, if you disturb this brother with your friends, I will say sorry first." Dare to ask where did Brother Tai come from? ”

Qiu Shaohu had already changed his dress, a Luo Sha Cheng Zi dress, with a brocade decorative pattern on the edge, which not only conformed to the imperial court etiquette, but also highlighted the luxury as much as possible, looking no different from a businessman, so Zhou Fuyun would come over to say hello.

Hearing the other party's words, Qiu Shaohu just glanced at him and said, "I am doing business from overseas, and I came back today." ”

In fact, he said a polite but useless remark. Now on this ship, nine out of ten people doing business overseas want to return to the mainland, so he said this is equivalent to saying nothing.

"Oh," Zhou Fuyun was a little surprised, "Then dare to ask Brother Tai, since he is returning from business, why does he have nothing to grow?" ”

Qiu Shaohu only has an ordinary suitcase beside him, and looking at his belongings, I'm afraid he won't be able to put a few books.

"That's why I can't stay overseas anymore." Qiu Shaohu said.

The other party obviously didn't want to talk to him, so Zhou Fuyun didn't bother himself and continued to talk with his classmates. The content of the chat inevitably mentions the trip itself.

Listen to a person: "This time I came back, it was really smooth, there were no twists and turns along the way, and I should have encountered Lang Guo's ship blocking the road and robbing it." ”

"Hmph, Luzhou Zhuzi, you can't do anything else, it's a good hand to rob homes and houses, and every time we go to sea, we are panicked, why doesn't the court exterminate them. We are Xia people, the people of the empire, and we are inseparable from the barbarians! ”

"If the imperial court had this ability, it would not have moved south. The barbarian's strong bow came and went like the wind, but it was more fearful to the court than the fire cannon of Dingguo. They still occupy the good port east of the Jielian Pass, harass the trade routes of the imperial court with small boats, and the materials that can be transported on weekdays have been robbed by them. As for the Empire? Now that the Central Plains are two kingdoms, North and South Zhao, who is orthodox? was originally a family called Xia, but it became two families. I think that if the imperial court can't think of a way to level the Kou, I'm afraid that it will ......"

"Brother Fang, silence!"

Seeing that some of his companions were becoming more and more excessive, others hurriedly reminded him, for fear that there would be spies from the imperial court around him.

"You don't have to worry." Qiu Shaohu suddenly said beside him, "I can guarantee that you and I can sit back and relax on this journey." ”

"Oh, I don't know why Brother Tai is so confident?" Zhou Fuyun could feel the ship getting closer and closer to the shore, and wondered if this was the other party's reliance?

Qiu Shaohu said: "I look at this celestial phenomenon, the clouds roll up but do not gather, the wind rises from the sea, straight to the sky, and the white rainbow is reflected, just in line with the image of the Ninth Five-Year Plan of the main road - the flying dragon is in the sky, and it is beneficial to see the adult, so I expect you and I to be able to go all the way." ”

"It turns out that my brother is still easy to learn." Zhou Fuyun said.

"I know a little bit about it." Qiu Shaohu didn't say much.

"Then borrow the auspicious words of the son, and wait for the ...... when you go ashore" Before the words were finished, there was a sudden "boom" in the sky, and after the thunderbolt on a sunny day, thick clouds and sudden winds pressed in.

"This ......" The people who heard Qiu Shaohu speak all looked at each other, they were not thinking that Qiu Shaohu was inaccurate, but they were surprised that this day would change, and it was too unforeseen.

Only Qiu Shaohu suddenly got up in the cabin, looked at the sky, and had an incredible expression, "It's the early spring season, everything is newborn, people's hearts are stable, and a country's luck should be full of vitality." This place should have been in the area where the luck of the Zhao Kingdom was shrouded, why did such a bad omen appear in the blink of an eye? Could it be that Zhaoguo's luck has declined to the point that he can't even shelter his own country? ”

But in an instant, the dark clouds in the sky rolled back like a blanket, and were never seen again. It was as if it was just an illusion.

"Strange, I'm going to have a heavy rain."

"It seems that what this little brother said is still right."

There was a lot of talking.

"Strange." Qiu Shaohu was puzzled, and followed Zhou Fuyun and the others to see that he directly took out a long clairvoyant mirror from the package and kept looking towards the place where the dark clouds dissipated just now.

"The clairfront mirror that only exists in the place of convergence, a good thing."

"I heard that this thing looks close to things in the distance, although it is not particularly rare, but it is indeed a little more expensive, and it is really distressing to buy one to play."

"Its lenses can only be polished by the transparent crystal, which is a local specialty of the archipelago, and it will be completely shattered with a little force, even if the craftsmen who are not fully skilled in the Shengong Sect dare not take on such work."

Qiu Shaohu ignored their discussion, and his pupils quietly turned yellow with the obstruction of the lens tube, and he began to stare at any wind in the strange sky.

It's business as usual, and it doesn't seem to be anything unusual at all.

Only a white shadow flashed in his vision, like a bird's feather falling. But where the bird feather passed, it was like the aura of a thousand armies, and the surrounding clouds retreated.

Qiu Shaohu's gaze was in hot pursuit, moving the clairvoyant mirror, staring at the trajectory.

Soon, his vision came to an end.

A huge gate hundreds of feet high blocked all view. The entire body of the gate is cast in brass, standing in the middle of the sea, washed by thousands of waves, and still unshakable. The complex machine stands on the top of the gate, and every time it rotates, it drives the heavy gate to slowly lift, and the "click" sound of the mechanism mosaic spits out tons of seawater, regulating the water surface of the harbor and the open sea.

Countless ships in the port are constantly moving, and large and small cargo ships are moored at the wharf in turn, transporting a steady stream of materials for the city behind the wharf. The three-tiered locks carefully built by skilled craftsmen at the wharf can suspend multiple ships at the same time, greatly improving the efficiency of cargo transshipment and injecting more vitality into this city that is born on maritime trade.

The coastal port city in the south of Zhaoguo - Chaomen, is close at hand.

……

On the island of forgetfulness, in a dark space, a figure sits quietly. It was a petite woman, with a wide black blouse draped over her body, which accentuated the pale complexion of her complexion, and her long black hair hung around her waist, like countless streamlines, implicating many changes and infinite interpretations in the world.

She is Lianmo, the most respected person on the island, even if it seems that she is even younger than Qiu Shaohu.

This is the forbidden place of Wuwang Island, and it is also the place where Qiu Shaohu recited the classics here for two years.

In the void, three thousand cloud walls floated, representing the three thousand Dao Fa.

Lian Mo looked at the cloud wall while drinking tea slowly. "It's really boring when you're gone, and no one can make me such good pine forest tea like you."

During her retreat, the last place Qiu Shaohu had come to before leaving was here, and she wanted to check it out.

The cloud walls were safe and sound, in fact, they were completely transformed by vitality, and after Qiu Shaohu carried them all down, it was impossible to destroy them in the slightest.

But only behind the last cloud wall, Lian Mo saw some debris on the ground.

Her eyes flashed, and brilliance emerged from her hands, and the tracing technique that could only be performed by the Great Dao of Heaven made everything return to the way it was at the beginning, so that Qiu Shaohu had seen something here.

The surrounding clouds and mist surged, converging in the light, and finally turned into a new cloud wall.

Three thousand cloud walls became three thousand and one.

The handwriting on it is:

"The heavens and stars are divided into twenty-eight, headed by Ziwei, and in order are ......"

"However, in ancient times, the starry sky was divided into nine fields and nine heavenly residences, each performing its own duties."

"The nine fields are: Juntian, Cangtian, Changing Heaven, Xuantian, Youtian, Haotian, Zhutian, Yantian, and Yangtian. The power of each chief god is ......"

"The Nine Fields take the Nine Nights as the source, if you get the Star of the Nine Nights first, then the Nine Fields can follow the traces of each day."

"The first of the nine nights, that is, the 'greedy wolf', the fate of the division is a disaster, and the main disaster is a blessing and a curse."

There is very little handwriting, but at the end of the cloud wall, the position of a star is clearly engraved, lonely in an area, alone.

Except for this cloud wall, none of the other 3,000 classics are related to the starry sky.

"It's Wanyin." Lian Mo guessed who left this cloud wall, as a highly respected master of Wanyin, he had never appeared in the retreat many years ago, and he was also the most mysterious.

At the same time, she also knew what Qiu Shaohu had taken. The power of the greedy wolf is the eyes that perceive everything.

"You are bent on leaving, but you are entering the Tao with stars, and there has been no such thing in the island for thousands of years." In the dark, Lian Mo saw the succession of Qiu Shaohu's life, "But no matter what path you choose, I hope you must be cautious, after all, there is no wrong way." ”

There is no way to deviate, which is a principle that all the monks of the island of Forgetfulness keep in mind.
