The branches of the weeping willows on the shore are slender, with dewdrops hanging on them, accumulating layer by layer, and finally falling into the small spring below. The air here is quiet and lonely, and the sound of water droplets tinkling, tinkling, seems to be tapping on the heart, as if it is awakening something.
The clouds and mist were lying tiredly in the forest, and a few birds chirped. Then they flapped their wings and flew to another treetop, looking left and right, feeling lazy and comfortable.
This is an isolated island, and no one knows how many years this island has been rooted here. Visible all around are scenes of birds singing and flowers fragrant, with bright fragrances and butterflies flying among the grass and flowers, like a dream.
The sea of trees is passing by in waves, and the grass is rustling slightly. There are two people with their fingers clasped together. Their hand bones are pale and their meridians are visible, as if they were born to be connected.
Ten miles of green grass are her red makeup and his tomb. The two of them sleep on an isolated island. The glitz, chaos, desolation, love and sorrow of the world are all in vain.
In the dream, some people become happy when they think about it, and flowers are blooming everywhere. There are also people who are obsessed with it when they think about it. They miss each other every inch, and they are not harmonious at all, but they have no chance to get together even in dreams.
The sky and the earth are the same color, and there is no end as far as the eye can see. Outside the island is the dark sea water rushing and flooding. However, this isolated island has become an exception in this world, a ray of light between the gloomy and dim sky and earth, rooted in eternity.
There are no miscellaneous trees, the grass is bright green, and there is an occasional breeze. Fallen flowers float from nowhere, swirling in all directions, and fall quietly under the earth.
It seems that after walking a long, long way, I finally chose a destination.
Ji Qing's face turned pale when he was woken up, gasping for air. His eyes gradually changed from being distracted at first to becoming clear.
Suddenly he looked around nervously. Before he could take a closer look, he was shocked by the man next to him who was covered in blood. Ji Qing turned over and half-knelt beside him, trembling and losing his voice, saying: "Brother Gu Yuan... ."
Ji Qing was so frightened that she gently shook Mo Guyuan's body again, calling the unconscious man's name urgently, but the man was still lying flat on the grass, as if he were dead.
Ji Qing bowed and lay on the man's chest, his body trembling uncontrollably, and his sobs were filled with endless self-blame and unwillingness. His cries echoed throughout this isolated island, but there was no response.
"Brother Guyuan, you won't die. Trust me, I won't let you die." Someone was calling deeply, singing and crying.
"Don't you still have important things to do? You still have important people to save. Are you a big fool? Since those things are so important, why do you have to care about me?" Ji Qinglihua burst into tears despite the rain. .
Leaf by leaf, sound by sound, someone murmured and swayed away.
Ji Qing's long hair was flying, blue light surged all over his body, and his whole body was as transparent as glass.
At this moment, on his forehead, there was a crack like a sky eye slowly opening, a dark blue light appeared, and the blood all over Ji Qing's body gathered from bottom to top, and seemed to be pouring out from his forehead.
Just when the dark blue sky eye was about to shoot towards Mo Guyuan, a red umbrella from the sky rushed towards his head, blocking Ji Qing's own bloodline.
The red umbrella was flying, and a man flew over, holding the handle of the umbrella in his bare hands, waving lightly and circling. A black veil fluttered to the ground in the wind, a red umbrella resting on her shoulder, her brows looked faintly at Ji Qing, and a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes.
Ji Qing raised his head, and the next moment he said angrily with red eyes, "It's you!"
"The Di people are the purest descendants of the ancient Nuwa Empress. Now you are willing to use up all your blood for a man. How stupid are you?" The woman in black gauze was the blood of the two men who were hunted before. Oh my god, I am here now.
"If it weren't for you, how could Brother Guyuan be killed by you? If I want to save him, what does it have to do with you? If you want to kill them all, just do it." Ji Qing sneered, his face calm.
Xuesha looked at the desperate Ji Qing in front of her, and her eyes were dazed for a moment. The look of him giving up everything made her look inexplicably familiar. It was so similar when she was young and filled her heart with passionate love.
"People's hearts are fickle, so how could you not be lucky enough to be a man in fine clothes? Didn't Liu Yanchen teach you that the worst thing in the world is for a man to betray his heart? If you risk your life to save him, how do you know that he will miss you when he wakes up? Besides, he is already good at you. Why do you have to be wishful thinking and sentimental when you care about her?" Xue Sha didn't have the previous fierceness at this moment, but spoke in a rare leisurely manner.
Ji Qing hated the woman in front of him so much that her spell was interrupted by her, and now she seemed to be laughing at him, teasing him with incomprehensible words.
Then he replied sarcastically, "It doesn't matter if I am wishful thinking or self-indulgent. Brother Gu Yuan can risk everything for me, so why can't I? What does the person he misses have to do with me? Why do I need Brother Gu Yuan to miss me?" , Do you think you can see through the world like this? Why do you need to point fingers at what my grandma taught? Are the people you read the same people in your eyes in this world? Who are you?"
Ji Qing asked several questions in succession, all with contempt.
Under the force of separation, Xue Sha was speechless. She looked at Ji Qing blankly with a pair of eyes full of thoughts. After a long time, she seemed to be relieved. She sighed slightly and said, "He's not dead. You don't need to risk your life."
Ji Qing was stunned, with an expression of disbelief, and looked at Mo Guyuan with excitement, but no matter how she checked again, there was still no sign.
Ji Qing couldn't let go and felt that the woman was teasing him again. Just as he was about to scold him, he heard the woman in black gauze say softly, "This person's body is extremely weird. He was clearly severely injured by my Qiankun Jiuyao Diagram before, and he resisted." If I hit the Purple Light Blade, even those with the most profound cultivation in the world of immortals and monsters would be hard-pressed to survive. But this kid still has some Qi left in his body, and this Qi is continuous, as if it is prolonging his life. ."
Ji Qing listened with half-belief, but the miserable situation of Mo Guyuan now taught her how to recognize clearly. Even if what the woman said was true, how could she save Mo Guyuan's current injuries.
"You are the one who wants to kill or injure me. Are you pretending to be a good person here now? Do you think that brother Guyuan is not dead and want to kill him again?" Ji Qing looked at the woman in front of him and said fiercely.
"Why should I go to such trouble if I want to kill him? He still has some vitality and is just relying on some weird things in his body to survive. His cultivation is weak and he cannot withstand such an attack. Now, even if he is alive, They are nothing more than the living dead, what is the difference between being dead and dead in my eyes?" Xue Shao tilted her head slightly and said slowly to Ji Qing.
Ji Qing was furious and said, "What do you want to do? If you don't let me save people and don't kill me, are you sick?"
Xuesha looked at the girl in front of her with curious eyes, and asked her doubts, "Who are you, Liu Yanchen?"
"Why should I tell you that my grandma is not here now, otherwise do you think you can really do whatever you want?" Ji Qing said angrily. The words were just impulsive, and the woman in black gauze shook her head in amusement upon hearing this.
Ji Qing also realized his slip of the tongue and looked annoyed. He didn't bother to talk nonsense with her at the moment. Since she didn't take action and he didn't want to waste time here, he wanted to take Mo Guyuan away.
But then I heard the woman in black gauze say slightly, "Do you know where this is?"
Ji Qing was stunned, looked back at the woman, and then walked forward towards the forest.
"If you really want to save him, even if he survives he won't be able to get out of this place. Once you die, he will be alone here forever and ever." Xuesha said coldly.
Ji Qing paused, and then heard the woman behind him say, "This place should be the immortal existence in ancient times, called Eternal Island, and it can be regarded as one of the seventy-two islands in the sea in the past. I thought that with the passage of time, it has long been Disappeared in time, but unexpectedly, it was sucked into the belly of Huludao and hidden here. It is really ridiculous that this island is hidden in the island, but there is still this eternal prison."
When Ji Qing heard this introduction, he suddenly remembered that he had heard rumors about the Eternal Island from his grandma in the past.
Legend has it that the Eternal Island was transformed from the head of Xingtian, the god of war in ancient times. In the past, Xingtian was beheaded by the Yellow Emperor in a battle with the Yellow Emperor in Changyang Mountain. But even though Xing Tian's head was in a different place, his body still refused to fall. He used his bare upper body as his head, his breasts as eyes, and his navel as his mouth. He continued to fight with the Yellow Emperor day and night with his sword in hand, but in the end he still lost at the hands of the Yellow Emperor. .
The Yellow Emperor was deeply moved by his unyielding spirit, so he ordered that General Xingtian be buried at the foot of Changyang Mountain and set up a sacrifice. But Xingtian always wanted to get his head back and fight Huangdi again. Huangdi was also afraid of Xingtian's endless entanglement, so he split Changyang Mountain with his sword and threw Xingtian's huge head into the deep mountain stream.
Later generations of dramatists recorded that someone traveled far across the sea and found that Xing Tian's head had drifted here and transformed into an island. The island was full of life, which was where the god's war intention was in the past. The body was still carving mountains in Changyang, and the head was glaring at the sky, immortal and immortal. Forever and ever.
Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, there is one thing about the Eternal Island that makes people believe it. Anyone who enters the Eternal Island by mistake will be imprisoned here for the rest of his life.
Some later generations once said that this was Xingtian's will to serve as a warning to others.
Ji Qing felt miserable in his heart and stumbled to the ground. He looked at Mo Guyuan beside him with a confused expression on his face. If he used his life to save brother Gu Yuan, then he would be alone here when he woke up. Ji Qing didn't dare to think about it, more because he didn't want Mo Guyuan to bear such harm in vain for him.
"What, do you regret it? You swore to be honest before, but now that you know the existence of the Eternal Island, you just give up?" Xuesha followed closely behind, not getting close, and just said teasingly from behind Ji Qing.
"Isn't it different for you? At least I still have brother Gu Yuan with me. I'm afraid you will die of old age alone." Ji Qing looked back and said with a smile.
"That's right. Although this kid has become a living dead now, after all, his weird energy has been flowing continuously. Maybe he will wake up after waiting for tens of millions of years, and then he can stay here with you forever. Yes. It's really a good deal to put it this way, but it's a pity that the boy's sweetheart has no whereabouts whether he is dead or alive." Xue Sha said back with the same contempt.
Ji Qing's face turned green and red. He wanted to reject it but didn't know how to speak. The old woman in front of him had lived longer than him. She spoke in a weird and eccentric manner, and he couldn't resist it at all.
Just hearing these words made Ji Qing feel aggrieved. Tears burst out of his eyes. He choked and said, "I didn't! I didn't think about it that way. I just didn't want him to lose his life for me for no reason, and I didn't want him to be trapped here for the rest of his life." No. He still has someone important to save, and that person must be waiting for Brother Guyuan to go back. I just hope that Brother Guyuan can go smoothly and safely and complete what he wants to do."
"Are you stupid? If you care so much, why do you have to sacrifice so much and end up wronging yourself?" Xuesha suddenly felt flustered and asked loudly.
"Why am I wronged? He is so kind. I don't feel wronged at all. If he feels wronged and refuses, then how can he be brother Guyuan." Ji Qing replied eagerly.
Have you ever loved someone properly? Love occupies and destroys, love is willing and does not care, that is all love. Love is actually very simple. It is because we ourselves are too fragile and sensitive that we make it complicated. What changes is that time changes people beyond recognition and makes people lose their original intention.
You have experienced so many people and things in your life. You have read all the worldly things and experienced all the vicissitudes of life, and you have long been indifferent to them. Have you ever thought that someone would tell you that the world is not just like that? Some people have become exceptions in this world, so that there is still love in this world.
You will definitely say that she is simply ridiculous, then just be naive and ridiculous.
The cry was clear and crisp, and every word Ji Qing said was so sincere. Xue Sha was stunned when he heard it. Inexplicably, I remembered what he said to himself by the Shigure River that year, "It's not that I don't want to, but I still have something to bear. If I am lucky enough to be alive in the future, I will come back."
At that time, Xue Shao was puzzled by how many people in the world could hurt him in the Five Classics of Mountains and Seas, and what could make him go away forever.
Spread out the broken red jade in your hand, the strand of purple silk is nostalgic, the Cangshan Mountain is covered with snow, and the floating life is at rest.
Xue Sha looked at Ji Qing again, her eyes suddenly softened, and she gently tore Mi Li away, revealing that shocking smile. Xuesha lowered her eyes and quietly walked towards Ji Qing. Then, for the first time in more than two thousand years, she said to the woman in front of her with concentration and shame, "I'm sorry."
A gentle breeze blew away like dust and smoke, blowing away the ties of obsession and deep hatred, and blowing away two thousand years of obsession.
Xue Sha smiled and looked at Ji Qing with tears streaming down her face. Her tears burst into tears, but her face was clearly full of smiles.
Ji Qing wiped his tears with one hand, looked at the woman in front of him, still a little worried, and said, "Don't play tricks on me."
Xue Sha patted Ji Qing's head and whispered softly, "Thank you."
Ji Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This man was really incomprehensible. Could it be that he had lost his mind and gone crazy?
One by one
Two days later, Ji Qingxuesha was walking on the island, and the two of them chatted softly, not as quarreling as they did at the beginning.
Xuesha once told Ji Qing that the drunk man she and Mo Guyuan met on Huludao that day was Duan Nianchen, and she also told Ji Qing in private about her past with Duan Nianchen.
Ji Qing was angry when he heard that, and cursed Duan Nianchen for being ungrateful, but Ji Qing also honestly told some of the past experiences between his grandmother and Duan Nianchen. Ji Qing didn't understand the twists and turns of love, but hearing it in Xuesha's ears made her even more thoughtful and speechless.
"Ji Qing, look at the flowers blooming on this Eternal Island, do you know what they are called?" Xuesha said quietly, looking at the distance.
Ji Qing looked around. Ever since he first landed on the island, the wild flowers had bloomed all over the island. Although these wild flowers had strange shapes, almost all the wild flowers on the island looked like this. They were spread all over the land. Qing didn't pay much attention to it.
There are two wild flowers, one black and one white, small white and large black. There is a green stem at the bottom extending to the soil. If it were not for the special color difference, it would be the same as ordinary flowers and plants.
Ji Qing looked at Xuesha in confusion, wondering what she wanted to say.
"This flower is called the Twin Flower. It doesn't have much use in the world market. But it grows in this Eternal Island, but it has become the key here." Xuesha turned to look at Ji Qing with a very serious expression.
"Twin Flowers, that's a really nice name. Do you want to say that it can unlock the confinement of Eternal Island?" Ji Qing said subconsciously.
"Yes, twin flowers have two flowers on one stem, blooming at the same time. One must continuously absorb the soul of the other to survive, otherwise both will fail. Therefore, one of them is destined to be annihilated from the moment it takes root and sprouts in exchange for the other. Duo's survival." Xuesha said slowly.
Ji Qing didn't know why, so he had to wait for the bloody gauze to come down. I saw her face struggling and hesitant, glancing at herself from time to time, and then looking into the distance.
Ji Qing suddenly realized something and said hurriedly, "Can I leave here after eating these twin flowers?"
Xue Sha said nothing and wanted to wave away, but was pulled tightly by Ji Qing. Ji Qing said, "You are not allowed to leave. You are the one who brought us here. Please tell me quickly!"
Xuesha looked at the stubborn expression of the woman in front of her and frowned for a long time. Finally, she leaned slightly towards Ji Qing and sighed softly, "This twin flower must be taken by one man and one woman. That means you two have to eat one part of the twin flower." Petal, if you take this twin flower, from now on you will be connected to each other, bound by destiny, you can live together, but it is difficult to die together."
Ji Qing didn't care about anything else and said to himself, "Will Brother Guyuan wake up?"
"Um."
"That's good."
"Don't be ridiculous. If one of these twin flowers accidentally takes the one that you are willing to sacrifice, it will be equivalent to surrendering your life to the other. If he is safe, it will be fine. If something unexpected happens, do you know the consequences?"
"What will be the consequences?"
"If the person who eats the dead flower accidentally falls, it doesn't matter. If the person who takes the raw flower dies, even if he is thousands of miles away, even if he is at the end of the world, the latter will disappear and go with him."
"Then I'll eat the white one."
Xuesha glared at Ji Qing's nonsensical head.
"Look at the flowers on the island. They are all small in white and large in black."
Xuesha's body trembled, and then she remembered the scene in front of her. She knew that the island was full of twin flowers, but she never paid attention to the size of the two petals. The scene in front of me is completely natural, and all the twin flowers are like this. The fact is that all the white flowers are willing to do so.
"you!"
"I will be fine, and brother Gu Yuan will be fine too, I believe in him." Ji Qing raised his head and smiled brightly at Xue Sha.
On the forest floor, all the twin flowers were dancing and spinning around each other. In each other's eyes, they were each other's world.
Xuesha said nothing, but quietly looked at the thin but courageous little girl in front of her.
For a long time, the island was filled with wind, flowers, snow and moon, and the clouds surged into the sea. Like splashing ink and swiping a pen, someone gently painted this scene of life and death, with tears in their eyes.
"You and he have only known each other for more than ten days. Is it worth it?"
"Oh, it's not worth it. I obviously want it." Ji Qing smiled happily. Looking at Mo Guyuan in front of her, she suddenly remembered what her grandma said to her a long time ago.
"Some people have known each other for a lifetime but become strangers to each other, and some people can be identified for a lifetime with just one glance. There are thousands of holy words and Buddhist principles in the world, but they are nothing compared to what you like. Don't care whether he likes you or not, and don't care about the cold eyes of the world. You just have to like it."
At that time, Ji Qing looked at his grandma. Her eyes were full of contentment and joy. Ji Qing felt that her grandma was extremely cute at that time.
Yes, there is nothing better than what you like in the world.
