Xingyan and Qiong Wei said goodbye to Lingyi, floated hundreds of miles on the sea reflected by the afterglow of the sunset, and began to move cautiously after swimming past the island of Yinguangzhou, which was occupied by Sidu, and under the beckoning of Xingyan, the two of them half-dived into the dark blue water, and went due east in an instant.
At the moment of entering the water, in order to pay attention to the hour, he specially looked back at the sunset in the western sky, only to see that the sunset had lost its bright color at this time, and turned into a hazy dark red under the cover of a sea fog and sunset clouds, like a dusty persimmon half-floating on the waves and smoke. At this time, the sea water in front of him had turned into a deep dark color, and he could only see a little afterglow reflected from the crest of the wave. As the setting sun sinks below the surface of the sea, the shimmering waves in front of it gradually change from the twilight of the afterglow to the brilliant moonsilver. It turned out that before I knew it, two months had passed, and now the moon was full in the eastern sky.
Before this departure, he had already examined the charts in detail and had planned a suitable route for going deep behind enemy lines. This time, he planned to take Qiong Wei to the east for tens of thousands of miles, and then turn south, find the Bomu Mountain in the depths of the South Sea, and then march southeast along the land that stretches for thousands of miles on the east side of the Bomu Mountain, so that he can avoid the checkpoints in the South China Sea and find the place where dragons and ghosts are disputed.
After about three or four hours, it was close to midnight, and he felt that he had almost crossed the Shenmu Islands controlled by the South China Sea. Looking up at the moon wheel that was already biased towards the center of Tiannan, Xingyan breathed a sigh of relief, so he found a suitable reef in the sea and sat on it with Qiong Wei to rest.
Waiting to sit on this reef that has been washed by the sea and smooth as eggs, Xingyan opened the package prepared by Lingyi'er before leaving, took out some crispy pastries from it, took some delicate ones for Qiong Wei, and picked some burnt yellow and rough ones for himself, and the two of them began to eat the water in their skin bags together.
After eating on the reef for a while, waiting for a few pieces of oyster fried lotus root to settle down, Xingyan suddenly noticed four or five seagulls falling beside him, staring at him with round eyes in the moonlight. At first, when he saw these seagulls, he thought it was funny, so he couldn't help but look at the color of their eyes, but after a while, he found that the gulls around him were falling more and more, and in the blink of an eye, the two or three acres of reef under him was full of this most common bird in the sea.
"It's strange! There are so many seagulls at night!"
The young man with little maritime experience was amazed to see more and more seabirds flying towards him, cruising in the sea or hovering overhead.
This surprise was only fleeting, and when he saw the burning gaze of the seabirds that came at night, he immediately understood the meaning of these gulls. Obviously, these amphibious spirits in the depths of the ocean were coming for the fragrant package in his arms.
Aware of this, Xingyan opened the package without hesitation after a little thought, let Qiong Wei pick a few favorite pastry dishes to eat, and then added all the remaining food to the sea and sky with Qiong Wei, giving those gulls who salivate deliciously but dare not approach a full meal. Under such a painless throwing, in the blink of an eye, the huge bag carefully prepared by Ling Yi'er was only a few bags of water and a pot of wine.
"It's fun!!"
Although it was such a waste, the innocent little girl didn't know how to regret it, and when she finished throwing away the food in her hand and watching the birds scramble in the sea and sky, Qiong Wei only thought it was very interesting, so she just clapped her hands there. After the applause, the little sister turned her face, her eyes flashed and thanked the young man sincerely:
"Thank you, Brother Xingyan, for giving me so much delicious food!"
Such a sincere thank-you is as if you were feeding her just now.
"Huh!"
Seeing her so innocent, the young man couldn't help laughing, and after laughing once, he also told her the reason for what he had just done, which could be regarded as increasing her knowledge:
"Sister Qiong Wei—"
"In!"
"Well, that's right, just now we divided all the delicious food, one is that you also know that your brother has always been so generous, and the other is, you see that we carry so many delicious food, we will definitely follow many birds behind, and the enemy will see our whereabouts along the way!"
"Ah, I see, it's so dangerous!"
Hearing such an explanation, Qiong Wei was greatly moved, and couldn't help but admire her brother's generosity and foresight in fear—— and I don't know why, whether intentionally or not, this little girl cherishes being with her brother very much.
Gossip away, and when he left the group of seabirds that were still eating, Xingyan took Qiong Wei to the southeast, and after about two more hours, from the place where he started, Xingyan felt that the two of them had traveled tens of thousands of miles - tens of thousands of miles away, and he had to walk in the sea for so long, Rao is young and strong, and he also felt a little tired, and just wanted to find a place to rest.
"Alas, I didn't think the South China Sea was so big!"
At this time, Xingyan only sighed in his heart. Unlike at the beginning, he was all worried about whether he would be discovered by the South China Sea, and it was only after swimming such a long distance in the vast sea that he realized that he was beginning to be wrong, because whoever he was, whether it was like a mountain or a small dust, it was only a drop in the ocean. In the face of such a vast and boundless ocean, he and Qiong Wei are really inconspicuous, and it is not easy to be discovered.
sighed in his heart, and looked back at Qiong Wei again, but found that this girl, who had always been energetic, also shook her eyes at this time, and her eyes were hazy, and she looked quite tired. Seeing this, he made up his mind and decided to settle down and rest when he met the next Haizhou Haizhu.
After crossing hundreds of miles after this thought arose in his mind, Xingyan and the two came across a small sandy area in the sea, so he took his little sister out of the water and stepped on this flat sandbar to get ready for a good rest.
"Qiong Wei, be careful not to run around!"
As soon as he stepped on the beach, the boy's helpless reminder voice sounded. It turned out that the girl, who was tired just now, just stepped on the soft sand under her feet, and with a cheer, she broke free at once, and ran towards the white snow-white sandbar in front of her like a bird out of the cage!
"Hey!"
Hearing her brother's call, Xiao Qiongwei happily agreed, but there was still a gust of wind under her feet, just running happily on the soft white sand, the pair of white and jade bare feet sank and rose in the soft white sand, and the original pair of small embroidered shoes on her feet didn't know where to be kicked!
"Hehe~"
Seeing that the little girl was so happy, Xingyan didn't interfere anymore, because anyway, the sea is vast now, and there are only smoke and night clouds left in all directions, and he doesn't worry about those enemies who are thousands of miles away finding out.
So, when he woke up and used the method to spread his spiritual sense to test the distance and distance within a radius of 100 miles, he also followed Qiong Wei's example, threw off the two mango shoes on his feet, and accompanied the little girl to run freely on the soft white sand.
"Haha, I've got you!"
As in the past, he played with Sister Qiong Wei for a while, and after grabbing her arm in exchange for a series of "giggle" laughter, Xingyan let go of her and let her play by herself, and went to the package to take out the pot of wine specially prepared by Lingyi, paced under the leafy plane tree on the north side of the sandbank, and began to lean on the trunk and drink without a sip.
Drinking spicy wine, the young man who was temporarily idle took a look at the scenery in front of him. The fine sand island in the depths of the sea in front of me is very small, only about a dozen acres in size, and the shape is like an orange petal placed in the north and south. Except for the lonely sea tree leaning against his back, and the little unknown sea vegetable fern next to the roots, the ground of the rest of the place was covered with white fine sand, which looked white, like a pile of frost and snow. These white sands have just walked over by themselves, and when they come into contact with the soles of their feet, they feel delicate and smooth, and they still carry the residual temperature of the day's sun, which is very comfortable when they sink into it.
At this time, looking up at the sky, the full moon like a silver plate has hung slightly west of the south of the sky, and the moon on the background of the blue sky dome exudes brilliant brilliance, illuminating the already white silver island in front of you like a glorious silver mirror, which looks a little dazzling to the human eye. And on the edge of this vivid white sand, the dark blue waves in the middle of the night continue to hit, wave after wave washes onto the beach, and then retreats non-stop, leaving patches of gray water stains and a "whooshing" tidal sound.
On such a moonlit night with the sound of tide, in such a clean and peaceful Haizhu Island, the thoughts of the young man sitting under the plane tree also became extraordinarily quiet, as if there was no longer a trace of sorrow and worry, clear and empty. At this moment, although the road ahead is unpredictable, I don't know if it is safe, but it seems that as long as I can stay quiet for a moment in front of me, the original noisy and tense heart has become extraordinarily comfortable.
"Heh......"
The gust of sea breeze blows, the night under the moon is as cool as water, looking at the silver sand and snow in front of him, and the beating figure, it suddenly makes this young man who has been responding to it for many days only feel that only the life in front of him really belongs to him; Leaning on the sycamore, which is said to be able to fall the phoenix, the young man in green shirt who was born in the village thought wistfully in his heart:
"Alas, maybe I'm talking about it, it's really impossible to be a big man who can do big things......"
In this rare silence, the nineteen-year-old boy finally asked himself and began to reflect-
Speaking of which, in the past, although he was natural by nature, accustomed to being at ease with what he encountered, and did not ask for too much, he was mixed in the market since he was a child, and he was destined to be exposed to a lot of clever competitions, and he often had to struggle for food and clothing, so his bones were soaked with the two seemingly contradictory temperaments of tenacity and tactfulness. When encountering a major event for him, as long as he consciously aims righteously, he will often be unscrupulous.
Because of this, this peaceful young man is occasionally complacent, thinking that maybe he will be able to do something chivalrous and righteous like those great heroes and righteous people in the future. It's just that when the real fantasy came true, after the Luofu snow fell and the plum soul fragrance disappeared, his revenge road was brought into a real "earth-shattering weeping ghosts and gods" torrent whirlpool by various forces, but he suddenly found that he seemed to be just pushed by a huge current, although he was very sober in the process, but now that he thinks about it, to some extent, he is also very involuntarily.
Thinking of this, Xingyan couldn't help but think of the Four Blasphemy Monarchs.
These days, this free and easy old dragon monarch has regarded him as his own person, and all kinds of military schemes have never been hidden from him, because of this, compared with the kind of staggered and calculating plans, he found more clearly that in front of these unparalleled figures in the world, his original wisdom that could be considered good was only like a piece of cake. Because, after really coming into contact with the old dragon king's various thoughts, Xingyan thought about it carefully, and was shocked to find that the South China Sea and the ocean, which seemed to be high and wide, and the powerful and complex, all kinds of causes and consequences were all over the place, and in the eyes of the dragon king, it was just as clear as a small bowl of clear water!
"Hehe......"
I don't know if it's because I've been with that little sister for a long time, such a profound review and reflection didn't make him ashamed for long, and it was just a short while, when the young man was a little too ashamed of himself, the corner of his eyes swept away, and he caught a glimpse of Qiong Wei's fluttering pink and green dress, he immediately became happy again, and the solemn look on his face disappeared without a trace, and he was the most familiar laughing look again. The young man with a hippie smile thought happily in his heart:
"Well, why do I think so much? Do I really want to be like them one day?"
"No, no, I'm good enough now, I have food and clothing, I can tell divination, I know how to spell, even if I take revenge, I also have someone to help me with fists—alas, am I also a member of the Taoist sect? Why have I forgotten my Taoist first meaning now?!"
So, the teenager who made up his mind to go with the flow immediately relaxed and became lively again:
"Ha~ I'm going over there for a drink!"
When he was full of interest, he squinted and saw the silver sparkle outside the sandbar, so Xingyan stood up, picked up the wine gourd, and jumped into the waves!
When he jumped into the smoke wave, with a little mana, he lay sideways on the waves, supported his head with one hand, and raised the wine gourd with the other, and raised the Kunlun wine that the dragon princess had snatched from her drunken grandfather, and drank it in his mouth.
"Ha ......"
Although the special mellow wine of the Dragon Palace tastes spicy, it is actually not intoxicating, otherwise Lingyi would not let Xingyan take it;
At this moment, the sandy shore and beachhead where the waves were piled up like snow suddenly sounded one or two mellow sounds.
"Hey, how can anyone play the flute here?"
Unfolded his hazy drunken eyes and looked towards the shore of the silver sand, but only saw the water and the moon flowing brightly, and the light and shadow were chaotic and could not be seen clearly.
"Brother, it's me!"
Seeing that Xingyan was full of doubts, she just looked at it, and the girl followed the sea breeze and said:
"Brother, you drink, Qiong Wei will play the flute for you!"
“...... Flute ?...... How can you play the flute?"
"It's Ye Di!"
"Oh!"
The boy replied vaguely, and the girl on the shore knelt down on the white sandbar under the plane tree, put the newly folded green leaf whistle to her lips and began to play "Woo Ya Ya".
"Wow...... It's a pity!"
Rao was slightly drunk, and the young man who was well versed in the rhythm of music still heard the problem of the girl's flute at once:
"This ...... It's not in tune......"
It turns out that this little sister has never learned the rhythm, and she holds this leaf flute that she learned to fold from the uncles of the Xuanling monsters, and plays it as she likes, and she can't help but be a little confused when she listens to it. It's just that just when he wanted to speak out to give advice, he suddenly laughed dumbly, and said in his heart:
"Ha, just now I said that I want to be quiet and natural, why do I have to insist on correcting the tune that is really free and natural?"
Suddenly, he stopped, poured another sip of wine into his mouth, and began to truly appreciate the flute music in the sea breeze. Now that I listen to it so quietly, I feel that Qiong Wei's tune is natural, and it is like flowing water.
So in the simple tune of the simple girl who did not form a tune, this young man, who had just recently shocked this sea area, held a pot in his hand, and slapped the waves with his hand, and beat the knot for her;
"This life, this thing, this life.
White clouds, clear waves, that is, home.
To the moon lying tide, such as, wild, crane,
Buy wine, drunk, smoke, and xia all the time!"
This melodious and frustrating singing, the aftermath lingers in the wind and waves, it is the indescribable Chiang Mai long, and at this time the bright moon is at the head, the sea and the sky are like a dream, sleeping and lying in the tide, listening to the clear sound of the leaf flute, watching the waves and waves, it is the endless fun!
So when the sound of the flute gradually stopped and the tide became longer, Xingyan shook his clothes out of the water, and Ling Bo waded through the beach where the tide rose and fell, and gently picked up the star-eyed sleepy girl, and flew to the long branch of the plane tree, and leaned on the trunk of the tree, and let her lean on her arms;
"Legends...... A long, long time ago, there was a ghost recipe in the South China Sea, and there was a woman in the ghost recipe called the ghost mother, who could give birth to all kinds of evil ghosts, and each time she gave birth to a hundred ghosts, she gave birth in the morning and ate them at night. Before each meal, she counted: one ghost, two ghosts, three ghosts, four ghosts...... Sixty-Seven Ghost ......"
So in the sound of the young man's dream-like ghostly voice, it didn't take long for the little sister who was huddled tightly on his chest to feel that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and she slipped into sleep unconsciously......
At this time, on the branches adjacent to them, there were also two fat sea ducks that had come to settle in Haizhou, one big and one small, who were nestling up to each other and dozing on the branches......
