Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

"..., they look a bit alike?"

Qiu Puryue: ………

Qiu Puryue: ???

"Huh?" Qiu Puyue's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Qin Xiao in disbelief.

Then, he looked at Qin Yun's saddle in the distance.

Thinking of what Yin Xihui said, Qiu Puyue's expression became complicated for a moment.

"Are you sure?" Qiu Puryue turned her head, looking confused.

Yin Xihui said with a smile: "So I'm asking you, do you think it's similar?"

Qiu Puryue's mind was a little confused. She glanced back and forth between the two of them no less than five times, with Yin Xihui's question echoing in her mind.

Does it look like...

Does it look like...

You know what, now that you mention it, they do look a bit similar.

Qiu Puyue replied with difficulty in her heart.

Perhaps seeing what Qiu Puyue was thinking, Yin Xihui chuckled: "It's just a vague feeling, maybe it's a coincidence."

Qiu Puyue didn't think it was that simple.

but……

"...Are you trying to change the subject?" Qiu Puryue suddenly turned her head and asked with a frown.

Yin Xihui: ...

Seeing Yin Xihui smiling kindly, Qiu Purue turned her head away again and didn't say anything.

She knew this would happen.

It was like this every time. She could clearly sense that he was worried, but every time she asked him, he would pretend to be confused...

Qiu Puryue snorted lightly, then lay down with her back to Yin Xihui, holding Taotie.

"Then you just keep watch well." Qiu Puryue said and closed her eyes.

Yin Xihui looked at the childish Qiu Puryue, feeling somewhat amused and helpless, and responded with a "OK".

After hearing this, Qiu Puryue pouted her lips even higher. She closed her eyes and listened secretly for a long time, wanting to see if Yin Xihui would have any reaction. However, she heard nothing and felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Amid the crackling sound of flames licking the whetstones, she lost consciousness and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Yin Xihui chuckled twice in amusement and shook his head.

Nothing happened that night. As the night fell and the sky brightened, it suddenly started to rain.

The drizzle dripped on the charcoal that had long been extinguished; dripped on the slender green grass leaves; dripped on the furry little beast in the girl's arms.

When the first drop of rain fell on Yin Xihui's fingertips, Yin Xihui opened his eyes, looked up at the sky as if he felt something, and a drop of rain happened to fall on his eyes.

Yin Xihui stood up and woke up Qiu Puryue.

"It's raining?"

This was the first thing Qiu Puryue asked when she woke up. She could feel the rain falling on her face.

Yin Xihui responded and wanted to call Qin Xiao, but before his hand touched the latter, he saw him open his eyes.

Qin Xiao stood up, as if he also felt the raindrops. He stretched out his hand and looked up at the dark sky.

"...let's go."

After a simple tidying up, Qin Xiao saw that Mo Hanyu still showed no signs of waking up, so he wanted to carry him away, but just as he stretched out his hand he was stopped by Qiongqi.

Qiongqi didn't say anything. He threw Mo Hanyu onto his back and looked at Qin Xiao seriously, his meaning was very clear.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao did not intervene.

Hearing the noise over there, Taotie opened his eyes and glanced at Qiongqi, without saying a word, and continued to take a nap in Qiu Puyue's arms.

Mo Hanyu was in a coma for three days in a row, and only opened his eyes slowly in the early morning of the fourth day.

"woke up?"

As soon as Mo Hanyu opened his eyes, a voice came from beside him.

Mo Hanyu turned his head and saw Qin Xiao sitting next to him. It was dark all around him and he could only vaguely see his outline, but for some reason, he could clearly sense the surrounding environment and even knew the movements of every stone.

They were in a mountain without any vegetation, and the mountain was full of rocks. The bonfire in the middle had gone out, and the people around had fallen asleep long ago. Mo Hanyu then found that his talent was indeed much stronger - he didn't even need to think carefully to confirm the identities of everyone around him.

This should be halfway up the mountain. Mo Hanyu was lying on a big rock with Qin Xiao sitting next to him. The rest of the people were scattered around, leaning or lying on other rocks. Mo Hanyu turned his head to look. It was dark at night and he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but he could feel that he was in a good mood.

Mo Hanyu wanted to get up, but because his body had not fully awakened yet, he was unable to exert any strength and fell back to the ground.

"Hiss——" Mo Hanyu frowned and felt his whole body. He was surprised to find that not only was he not injured, but the circulation of Qi was much more comfortable than before.

"You slept for four days." Qin Xiao said, "You met Tian Miao again on the way, and he helped you heal your wounds."

"Qin Xiao..." Mo Hanyu just spoke and found that his voice was very hoarse.

Mo Hanyu finally propped himself up and sat up. He looked around and found that everyone around him was sleeping, so it was so quiet.

"We are preparing to leave the mountain now. Tian Miao and the others have found the exit, so——"

"Aren't you going to--" Mo Hanyu was stunned, a little surprised.

Although Mo Hanyu didn't finish his words, Qin Xiao already understood what he meant. Qin Xiao's eyes were calm, and there was no clue on his face: "That thing is gone."

“? Was someone there to get there first?” Mo Hanyu frowned.

"Yes." Qin Xiao observed him carefully, and did not see anything unusual on Mo Hanyu's face. "How is your health now?"

"It's OK..." Mo Hanyu touched his neck after hearing this, "I always feel an inexplicable comfort, as if there is something more in my brain, and my tendons and veins have expanded."

"So what exactly is the treasure?" Mo Hanyu was still very curious.

"I don't know." Qin Xiao closed his eyes as if tired, "I heard it was strength."

"Power?" Mo Hanyu was just wondering when suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and all his questions were answered in an instant.

Mo Hanyu, who knew the whole story, paused, his heart skipped a beat, and then he lowered his head, feeling uneasy and a little guilty.

"……sorry."

Qin Xiao turned around and knew what was going on as soon as he saw his expression. He didn't care and said calmly, "There's no need to apologize. That thing originally belonged to you, and I didn't really want it. I was just interested in it."

After hearing this, Mo Hanyu tentatively raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Xiao. He knew that what he said was true, but he still felt a little uncomfortable: "But you have been looking for so long..."

"Maybe you can tell me what you saw." Qin Xiao smiled, "Will you?"

"Of course." Mo Hanyu finally perked up. He looked around before opening his mouth. After making sure that everyone around him was asleep, he moved closer to Qin Xiao and whispered in his ear, "It's really amazing to say the least. I..."

Mo Hanyu told Qin Xiao everything he had seen in detail, but for some reason, he subconsciously concealed the part where Mo Ze asked him what "Xiao" was like.

Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes when he heard him talking about Mo Ze. He listened to his description and roughly imagined Mo Ze's movements at that time in his mind.

"...That's what happened, and then I lost consciousness. I just felt like I had a nap, but I didn't expect to be unconscious for such a long time." Mo Hanyu said, as if he felt tired again. He leaned on Qin Xiao's shoulder and closed his eyes.

Qin Xiao recalled that when he saw Mo Hanyu, he saw him lying face down, standing out against the backdrop of the floating corpses around him.

Actually, he was planning to give first aid after fishing the person out, but he heard a faint "hissing" sound around him and suspected there was a snake, so he took him out.

"Then do you think your attributes have improved?" Qin Xiao asked, and saw that when the child saw that he did not stop him, he fell down directly, resting his head on his thighs and looking up at him.

"I don't know, but I feel that my perception has become much sharper. I can feel that the Qi in the air around me is much more abundant..." Mo Hanyu said, watching Qin Xiao taking his pulse, and did not resist.

Qin Xiao saw that Mo Hanyu had no intention of stopping him, so he injected a trace of Qi and let it flow along his tendons. If you don't see it, you won't know. As it flowed, he felt that his Qi was like a stream flowing into the sea. His vast and abundant tendons generously accepted this small trace of foreign Qi and allowed it to flow and explore.

Qin Xiao let go of his hand and just as he lowered his eyes, he met Mo Hanyu's bright gaze.

"How is it?" Mo Hanyu smiled slightly. The moonlight sprinkled between his brows, looking particularly soft.

"Very good." Qin Xiao rubbed his head, "I can try it when I have the chance."

Mo Hanyu chuckled and closed his eyes, as if he was still a little sleepy.

"If you feel sleepy, sleep a little longer. It's still a long time before dawn." Qin Xiao said, looking up at the moon again.

Mo Hanyu responded, closed his eyes and fell asleep with peace of mind.

Before falling into a dream, Mo Hanyu muttered in a dreamy voice: "It's been such a long time since we last met, luckily you haven't changed much."

After hearing this, Qin Xiao looked at Mo Hanyu who was already asleep and laughed.

He really hasn't changed much, but Mo Hanyu has become more handsome.

The child is in the growth stage, and having not seen each other for almost a year, Mo Hanyu's facial features have begun to open up. Just as he expected when they first met, this face is becoming more and more like the person in his dreams.

Qin Xiao thought about what Mo Hanyu had just said and sighed imperceptibly.

Qin Yun'an woke up from his dream and looked around blankly. He found that it was already dawn. Although the others were still sleeping soundly, only Qin Xiao looked at him.

Qin Yun'an met Qin Xiao's gaze without thinking much. The influence of the dream on him had not yet ended. He panted hysterically and touched his forehead.

After a moment, Qin Yun'an restrained his strangeness and raised his head again.

Seeing that the people around him were still asleep, he took the initiative to talk to Qin Xiao.

"Has he woken up?" Qin Yun'an noticed Mo Hanyu lying on Qin Xiao's legs, and asked in surprise.

Qin Xiao nodded.

Mo Hanyu suddenly frowned, opened his eyes abruptly, and swept his sharp gaze towards Qin Yunan.

Qin Yun'an suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if he had been seen through.

"Um...hi?" Although Qin Yun'an had looked at Mo Hanyu when he was unconscious, this was the first time he spoke to him while he was awake.

Not knowing what to say, Qin Yun'an could only greet him tentatively.

Mo Hanyu looked at him and frowned.

"I met him on the road." Qin Xiao introduced him.

"Yes, yes, my name is Qin Yun'an." Qin Yun'an said, smiling and extending his hand to Mo Hanyu.

Mo Hanyu stood up and stared at him with an unclear look.

Just when Qin Yun'an thought that he would ignore him and was about to retract his hand with a wry smile, Mo Hanyu held his hand.

"Hello, Mo Hanyu."

Mo Hanyu said, smiling at him.

Qin Yun'an was stunned by his sudden smile, but he quickly reacted, laughed dryly a few times, and sat down on the spot.

Qin Xiao looked at Qin Yun'an, as if he had thought of something, and whispered a few words to Mo Hanyu in his ear.

Mo Hanyu's eyes changed again when he looked at Qin Yun'an.

"You want to go out?" When Mo Hanyu said this, not only Qin Yun'an was stunned, but Qin Xiao also paused.

"...Of course, right?" Qin Yun'an forced a smile. "I have been in this damn place for decades. Before I came here, I had an agreement with someone. Now, after so many years, I don't even know if he is still alive."

"...Do you have any solution?" Qin Xiao asked.

Mo Hanyu heard something wrong in his tone and turned his head to look, but still didn't hear any of Qin Xiao's mental activities.

"I don't know either, but it should be possible." Mo Hanyu said, touching his neck.

"After so many years, you should have figured it out."

A voice suddenly came from behind, and all three of them were startled. Qin Yun'an even shivered.

At the same time, they looked back and saw that Qiongqi had sat cross-legged behind them in human form, staring at Mo Hanyu with burning eyes.

Mo Hanyu met Qiongqi's dark golden eyes and was stunned for a moment, and his eyes changed slightly inadvertently.

"Qiongqi..."

Qin Yun'an raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Hanyu inexplicably.

This kid must be seeing this monster for the first time, right?

Qiongqi leaned on his shoulders, his thick black hair falling down his shoulders until it reached his knees. Qiongqi did not reply, staring at Mo Hanyu with an inexplicable expression.

"(Although I see that you haven't recovered your memory yet, your strength has almost recovered, right? Just remove the seal. Wasn't the purpose of your sealing to prevent humans from taking away the things you left behind? Now that you have obtained it, the seal should be lifted.)"

Qiongqi spoke in that strange language, and Mo Hanyu frowned.

He clearly didn't understand before, but now he can completely understand what Qiongqi wants to express, as well as every word he said...

Qin Xiao glanced at Mo Hanyu calmly.

He could feel that Qiongqi was communicating with Mo Hanyu in the same tone and manner as he spoke to Mo Ze, which meant that he was now treating Mo Hanyu with an equal attitude, regardless of whether he had recovered his memory or not.

This surprised Qin Xiao. After all, no matter who Mo Hanyu was in his previous life, he was just a child under ten years old in this life, not to mention that he had not recovered his memory. Although Qiongqi said that Mo Hanyu's strength had almost recovered to the previous level, he still did not think that the current Mo Hanyu had the strength to defeat Qiongqi.

Qiongqi is a ferocious beast, and this name obviously was not communicated in a friendly way like it is now.

Mo Hanyu was also a little surprised.

He could tell that Qiongqi actually wanted to talk to another person, his so-called "previous life". But unfortunately, his previous life did not give him any memories of the past, so naturally, he had no memories of interacting with Qiongqi, but he felt somewhat familiar with Qiongqi.

"...I will unlock it." Mo Hanyu didn't know what attitude he should take towards Qiongqi, but the familiarity deep in his soul could not deceive anyone. So Mo Hanyu obeyed his inner thoughts and asked tentatively, "What are you going to do after you unlock it?"

Mo Hanyu didn't know that the moment he asked this question, a golden light flashed in his eyes.

The time was short, but long enough for Qiongqi to capture it.

"..."Qiongqi's eyes changed, and he tilted his head to look at him carefully.

Qiongqi's gaze was sharp and scorching, which made Mo Hanyu uncomfortable. Although he didn't show it on his face, his heart was beating fast.

Did he say something wrong?

Suddenly, Qiongqi bared his teeth and revealed a strange smile.

It seemed like it was showing off its sharp teeth, but it also seemed like it was just smiling.

"I will go out with you." Qiongqi narrowed his eyes, his smile became brighter, with a hint of playfulness.

Seeing this, Mo Hanyu turned his head, touched his neck awkwardly, and responded casually twice.

Qin Xiao watched from the side without interrupting.
