Yuan Xianger sat on Nan He's back and flew in the wilderness, holding a transparent quartz jar in his arms, which contained a small black fish with a light-colored tail.
At this moment, it is the evening, the golden black is falling, the sunset is melting gold, the sky is full of clouds and clouds, and the mountains and rivers are full of blue and green.
In order not to frighten human beings, Nanhe flew very high, his feet slipped through the wisps of floating clouds, and two silver chain-like rivers converging on the vast expanse of the earth converged together, and ran together, Taotao heading east.
Yuan Xiang'er: "We've arrived at Lianghe Town."
The little black fish stuck to the bottom of the jar, looking at the small city at the confluence of the rivers, wondering what he was thinking.
A slender fishing line flew out of Yuan Xiang'er's palm, and the ethereal hairspring extended in the direction of the setting sun, and the silver-white Sirius rode the wind to chase after him.
When the clouds were all dyed, the gleaming thin line was thrown into a bustling and bustling town on the ground, and a wealthy family with an elegant courtyard disappeared.
After landing, I heard a loud cry of a baby coming from the wing, and the silk thread that was swaying all the way along the cry firmly sank into the window.
The maids in brocade in the courtyard were all happy.
"My wife finally gave birth, and she is still a young master! I was so happy that I couldn't sleep for a few days."
"Who says it's not, the master and wife are so charitable, but they have been lonely all the time. Now they are blessed with scales, and there will be happy days in the future."
The bracelet on Yuan Xianger's wrist shone slightly, and she set up a sky-covering ring to hide her figure.
They avoided the crowd and entered the room cautiously.
The light in the room was a little dim. This was a wealthy and wealthy family. The excitement and joy of having a child has not faded away. The nurse and maid who took care of the baby were whispering outside the screen, and the newborn baby was placed in a soft cot.
"The fish-shaped birthmark on the shoulder of the young master is really special."
"Yeah, not only does it look like a fish, but there is a red on the top of the head, it's alive and well."
"Master was very happy to see it. He said that there is an auspicious word here, called Koi Youjian, which is the fate of great wealth and greatness. The young master was named at the scene, and he was called Youyu, Young Master Youyu."
"What a nice name. The young master was born into such a family. He must be a blessed person."
The voices of the women gradually became smaller, and only a middle-aged nanny was left to guard the house. The nanny, who had been busy and excited all day, sat in the corner, and fell asleep while sitting.
She opened her eyes when she was half asleep, and vaguely saw a handsome man in a black robe standing in the shadows, leaning on the crib and looking inward.
The maid rubbed her eyes and took a look. In the evening, the orange-red sunlight shone into the house through the window screens, and there were tiny dust flying in the hazy light.
Where is the handsome man
The young master's hand stretched out the swaddling clothes, grabbed something in the sunlight, and let out a delightful laugh.
It must be sleepy, he is really a lovely young master, he must be a blessed person. Mammy closed her eyes again with a smile.
Nan He and Yuan Xiang'er were hiding by the window.
The newly born human cub looked immature and cute, and Nan He was the first to see it.
(Is this the river god Subai you said?) He looked into the swaddling clothes with some curiosity.
Yuan Xianger: (Yes, it is the reincarnation of Senior Subai. When I was very young, this senior was entrusted by Master and found me in my hometown.)
The two were whispering in their minds that only each other could hear.
(So humans can still be reincarnated after death, can they be found with such a magic tool?) Nan He looked at the gleaming fishing line in Yuan Xianger's hand, and his eyes lit up a little.
(But it may not always be a human being. Maybe it will become a little pig, a small fish, or even a tree.) Yuan Xianger put the fishing line into her sleeve and rubbed Nan He's hand, (Even if he is still human, he is no longer the same person from his previous life.)
She remembered the conversations when Senior Su Bai bid farewell to her in her sleep yesterday.
"That's great, senior, so you can be reincarnated, and we can still find you?"
The senior was a little helpless: "Although I said so, the new person will have a brand new memory and body, and it can no longer be regarded as an old one, but a brand new life. After today, there will be no whiteness in the world."
Yuan Xiang'er's smile froze again.
"You don't have to be sad about this. Although Su Bai has disappeared from this world, I am still looking forward to the next journey with joy." The white-haired old man smiled and said lightly, looking down on life and death. He was only concerned about his friends.
"Danluo, as a monster, is frank and stubborn by nature. I'm worried that he is too stubborn about my death and can't get rid of the knot in his life." He stood on the bow and looked down at the bottom of the water. Friend, "He's got a long life to live. So I thought I'd ask you to tell him that death isn't a complete disappearance."
Yuan Xiang'er opened her mouth and couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart.
Destroying life and death, forgetting both things and myself, and becoming an existence beyond life is probably the ultimate goal of all practitioners. But for thousands of years, there are a few people who can really do it.
Even an open-minded and indifferent person like Master is still willing to be stopped on the word love.
Su Bai turned to look at her and asked a more difficult question: "Mr. Yuan Xiao, what do you think is the basis for determining what a person is, is it our flesh or our soul?"
This question stumped Yuan Xianger. She has been a human being in two lifetimes and has been reborn through rebirth. Even if she is separated from her body, she still feels that she is the same person.
But if instead of being reborn with memory in this way, but only with her own soul being reborn into the body of an animal or a demon, without the memory of the past, Yuan Xianger would also feel that it was another life, not herself.
"Perhaps, the key lies in memory?" Yuan Xianger was a little confused, this question is still too profound for her age, "It should be said that using this body to experience the good and evil in the world, the bits and pieces of memory generated, the memory created by it. Three views of thinking, in general, I am Yuan Xianger. Anyone who lacks one of them can no longer be regarded as Yuan Xianger.)
"It really deserves to be a disciple of Mr. Nature. It's rare to be so young and transparent. With you, there may be more variables in this world." Su Bai nodded with a smile, his appearance gradually became shallow, "I'm going too, dear, my friends."
(Ah Xiang, why are you crying?) Nan He gently nudged Yuan Xiang’er, awakening her from her trance-like memory.
She touched her face, her cheeks getting a little wet.
(I understand it, but I still can't bear it after all.) Yuan Xianger sighed, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she stretched out her hand to encircle Nanhe's Yueyao, and pressed her cheek against his warm chest, showing a rare coquettish expression. , soothe your emotions.
The fish tank in his hand was empty, and Danluo in a black robe stood in front of the small crib, looking down at the little baby boy in the bed.
His broken fish tail never fully recovered, and his human-shaped legs were weak. He needed to rest his hands on the railings on the edge of the bed to barely support himself, but he stared unblinkingly at the new life in the swaddling clothes. That immature, young, full of vitality of the little human.
The iron chain with the seal on the wrist rattled slightly, and Danluo stretched out his hand towards the new life.
This is a strange cub. He is not Subai, and it can be said that he has no similarities with Subai, but inexplicably makes Danluo feel a little familiar and at ease.
Danluo's fingers are hanging in the air, wanting to touch but unable to start.
At this moment, the baby broke free from the swaddle, and the soft little hand grabbed Danluo's finger and let out a happy laugh. Nuonuo's little mouth also spit out a saliva bubble
So stupid, how could this be plain white. Danluo thought.
But it's a bit like, Su Bai just likes silly smiles.
When the baby waved his arms, a small shoulder was exposed, and there was a small black birthmark on the white and tender shoulder.
Shaped like a fish, it swims freely and unrestrainedly, with a touch of red on its forehead.
It turned out not to have completely disappeared between heaven and earth, but still there, but living in a different way.
Dan Luo's heart, which had been under pressure for a long time, suddenly felt relieved. It seemed that he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and landed on the ground lightly.
(Danluo seemed to laugh.) Nanhe said to Yuan Xianger.
(Ah, really. It turns out that he can also laugh. It has been more than half a year. I thought he only learned one human expression.)
After leaving this place, Yuan Xiang'er sat on Nan He's back, flying between heaven and earth, holding the small transparent fish tank in her hand.
"Senior Su Bai said, let me show you so that you won't be so sad." She spoke to Dan Luo, who was swinging her tail in the fish tank.
"I'll take you to the next world now. It's a world of demons, full of spiritual power, and follows your own laws. You sleep in the seal, and when you wake up, just live there."
Maybe he didn't want to, but Danluo is a monster that feeds on humans, and Yuan Xianger is a human race. This is the decision she made after weighing it.
At this moment, the sun is setting in the cloud forest, and the green hills are thousands of hectares. The quaint and deep Sirius Mountains quickly appeared in sight, and there was an entrance to another world in the depths of the ten thousand stacks of green mountains.
"When you enter the world, I will remove the chain seal on your wrist and find a beautiful lake to hide you under the water, what do you think?"
"I didn't dare to tell Wu Yuan and the others, otherwise those little guys might be reluctant to part with you, and they would jump up screaming."
As Yuan Xianger spoke, she flew all the way into the Tianlang Mountain, and stopped in the air on a lake where there was no one in the mountains and the water was shining.
They were only an arm's length away from the rippling blue water. The transparent and beautiful quartz fish tank was raised by Yuan Xianger on the water surface.
As long as he let go, the small fish tank would sink into the water with Danluo, which would make him fall into a long slumber.
This sinking will be a hundred years old. After Danluo wakes up, the passage between the two worlds may no longer be found. At that time, Yuan Xianger was long gone, and they never had the chance to meet each other again.
"This is Du Shuo's feather, and he asked me to leave it to you." Yuan Xianger put a special feather into the transparent fish tank and let it float on the water, "Although it's simpler, it covers your figure. It shouldn't be a problem to prevent the stray monster from discovering it. After you wake up, you can still use it."
"By the way, Shifu also sent a lot of reed seeds, and he asked me to scatter them by the lake, so that when you wake up in a hundred years, the scenery here will be very similar to your hometown, maybe you won't feel that way. Not used to it."
Yuan Xianger found that her words were a little trivial. She didn't know why she said so much.
It has been more than half a year since I came back from Lianghe Town. Watching the fish at the bottom of the lake swimming in the water every day, watching his serious injuries get better and his tail slowly growing, I gradually became more familiar with him.
It is no longer possible to lock him as coldly as before, and there is also the reluctance to part when parting.
"I bound your hands before, but now I'm forcing you to enter the next world, I'm really sorry." It was the end, Yuan Xianger tried to be gentle, "Do you need anything else? Please tell me, I will try my best to Do it for you."
Danluo was the same as before, silent, not even moving his tail.
Just when Yuan Xianger's fingers were about to loosen, the little fish in the transparent jar suddenly wagged its tail and swam half a circle.
Yuan Xianger didn't know what he wanted to express,
But Nan He suddenly said: "If you want to live in the floating world, speak now, otherwise there will be no chance."
The little fish in the jar swam half a circle again, just when Yuan Xianger thought he shouldn't say anything,
A low and unique voice suddenly sounded,
"But it's only a few decades, nothing is impossible."
Yuan Xianger didn't understand.
Nan He reluctantly added a sentence for him: "What he means is that the lifespan of human beings is only a few decades, and there is nothing wrong with being your apostle."
"Really?" Yuan Xianger was happy now, and raised the fish tank with both hands, "Do you really want to live with us?"
At this time, the bright moon rises in the mountains, the moon blooms on the earth, and the clear luster of quartz envelops the embarrassed aquarium in the water.
He wiggled his fish tail, but he didn't say anything of denial after all.
