Chapter 35: The Heart Knot
"Daddy, it turns out that you are so good-looking, from now on, no one will say that Daddy is a monster. The boy smiled carefree.
However, looking at his daughter's smile, Liu Xingyan was in pain.
How can the poor child, with his thin body and scars all over his body, not make people feel distressed?
The three of them took Tong'er to the edge of the island, and Tong'er looked back into the distance, she knew that the nightmare of the past five years was finally over.
"Mother, Daddy has found Tong'er, when will our family be reunited?" Tong'er silently told her mother.
Qing Lian's voice appeared in her mind, and she smiled happily when she learned that the father and daughter were reunited. Looking at the dark starry sky outside, he muttered: "Follow my aunt to learn your skills, and my mother will count on your father and daughter to save me in the future." ”
"Auntie, my mother asked me to learn skills from you, and I will go with my father to save her in the future. Tong'er accompanied Xiao Eleven and said in a crisp voice.
Xiao Shiyi's eyes were still red, he took Tong'er's little hand and said, "Didn't your mother ask about Qing Shui's fate?"
Tong'er shook his head.
"Sister doesn't want to ask, or doesn't dare to ask. No one can tell the grievances between them. But they were all just as miserable. People in the world say that the gods are good, since ancient times, the gods are lonely, and they live in panic like grass, yearning for more leisure in the mortal world. ”
"You're right, mortals want to become gods and immortals, and who knows that immortals are more envious of the colorful hustle and bustle of mortals. People always feel very good about the unknown, and when they get it, it is not empty of joy. There is a definite number of life and death, and there are consequences for good and evil. People, you can't think too much, you can't be too greedy. Desire is a bottomless abyss, and if you fall into it, you can't get out. The monkey carried the golden hoop stick and sighed. Several people stopped on the island and looked at the surrounding sea, the waves were magnificent and endless.
"Auntie, what's your real name, is it called Little Eleven?" Tong Er suddenly asked Little Eleven.
Xiao Shi touched Tong'er's head and said, "Because my aunt is the youngest in the family, everyone calls me Little Eleven." But Xiao Eleven is not my aunt's name, my aunt's name is Qingze, because your grandmother likes clear things, so she named us all after the word 'Qing'. ”
"Isn't it true that the gods can't get married, why does the aunt also have parents?" asked the child curiously.
Liu Xingyan and the monkey listened to it on the side, and they also pricked up their ears.
Xiao Shiyi explained: "The gods are different from mortals, because my aunt and your mother and other sisters have been nourished by your grandparents' immortal energy and cultivated their true bodies, so we became their daughters. ”
"So that's the case, I thought that the gods who had relatives were like the Tota Heavenly King and the Three Eyes. The monkey muttered quietly.
When Liu Xingyan heard the monkey's words, he asked rhetorically: "The three eyes you mentioned are people with three eyes." If so, do you know a pig-headed man, a minotaur, a woman with a fan, and a fire-breathing child?"
The monkey was shocked when he heard this, and exclaimed, "How do you know, I know all these people you are talking about." As he spoke, Sun Wukong spit out the banana fan from his mouth, then made the banana fan bigger, and said to Liu Xingyan: "The woman with the fan is holding this fan?"
Liu Xingyan looked at the banana fan carefully, nodded and said, "That's right, the woman is holding this fan." ”
"Tell me where they are!" the monkey was so excited for the first time, pressing Liu Xingyan's shoulder, Liu Xingyan felt that his bones were about to be crushed by him.
"You tap, I'll tell you slowly. Liu Xingyan frowned.
The monkey let go of his hand, and Liu Xingyan told him about picking up the golden ring. After hearing this, the monkey pondered and said: "After the scriptures are over, the golden hoop on my grandson's head has disappeared, and all the heavenly gods and Buddhas have disappeared for 10,000 years, how did it appear again, and what kind of things are hidden in it?"
Xiao Eleven told Tong'er about things like today's palace, and the monkey told Liu Xingyan about the heavenly court 10,000 years ago.
They told each other about their interesting experiences, looking at the sunset and blowing the sea breeze.
The sky was getting dark, and the moon rose from the sea, like a beautiful mirror, and the silver light caressed the earth like a gentle hand.
The few did not leave immediately, and spent the night on the island of the afterlife. The child snuggled up to her father's arms and fell asleep, this was the most soundly sleep she had in five years, and she had the most beautiful dream.
Liu Xingyan fell asleep with his daughter in his arms, and the monkey also fell asleep leaning on the boulder. Only Xiao Eleven didn't sleep all night.
For Little Eleven, today is a day she will never forget. Not only did she kill her sister with her own hands, but it was also the first time she killed someone. Her mind kept echoing the words of Qing Shui before he died.
The clear water is not clear, what is right and wrong, right and wrong, who is good and who is evil.
Before he died, Qing Shui was full of resentment and dissatisfaction. Xiao Eleven didn't know whether what she was doing was right or wrong, but the fact had happened, and she knew that it was useless to think too much now, so she comforted herself, thought about her thoughts, and sat by the beach until dawn.
The morning breeze blows across the sea, waking up the sleeping people.
Tong'er was the first to wake up, and although the weather was cold, she slept warmly that night, because she had been snuggled in her father's arms, and she was still warm.
Breaking free of his father's embrace, Tong'er ran towards Xiao Eleven in the distance, came to her side, and asked, "Auntie, why did you wake up so early?" ”
"Because my aunt has something on her mind, go and bring the bag on your father's body, you have to eat an elixir every day. Little Eleven pinched the child's little face and said with a smile.
The boy obediently ran to his father's side, stretched out his hand and carefully untied the cloth bag on his father's body, for fear of waking his father up.
At this time, Liu Xingyan closed his eyes, but he pursed his lips and smiled.
"Daddy, are you dreaming too?" saw his father laughing, and Tong'er whispered.
Liu Xingyan still had a smile on his face, but he slept more soundly. Over the years, he has been thinking about his wife and daughter, and now that he has found her daughter, he can finally sleep peacefully.
The boy was holding the cloth bag and looked back to see that the monkey had woken up. When she saw the monkey, Tong'er asked her sweetly, and the monkey smiled at her. Tong'er's appearance is so pitiful that even the monkey can't help but protect this poor and lovely little girl every time he looks at Tong'er's heart as if it has melted.
Tong Er handed the cloth bag to Xiao Shi'er, who rummaged in it for a while, took out a pill, and let Tong Er eat it.
The monkey stretched his back and yawned. walked up to Liu Xingyan and woke him up, saying, "Don't sleep, we should go back to Green Snake Town." Night quicksand and Tang Xuansong are still waiting for us. ”
"Hey, it's so annoying, I finally got a good night's sleep, and I woke you up. Liu Xingyan rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat up lazily, looked at his daughter in the distance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Smiling and smiling, his face suddenly became solemn, and he said to the monkey beside him: "You said that Qing Shui got so many magic Gu, she must have used magic Gu to abuse Tong'er, will Tong'er be in danger?"
The monkey also looked at the boy in the distance and said, "Tong'er is a demigod body, and she has been abused by Qing Shui for five years and is still alive until now, which shows that she is not afraid of the poison of the Demon Gu." And now Xiao Shiyi lets Tong Er eat a pill of elixir every day, it should also be to heal the Demon Gu's infringement on Tong Er's body. ”
