Killed 99 times

Xue Buji caught a few dogs-like animals in the sea in the north, peeled their skins to make sails, burned the fat into oil, and smeared them on the surface of the boat to make them waterproof.Jiang Haixi managed to make a simple compass. On a sunny afternoon, the two prepared food and set off in the boat.

This time they sailed at sea for a month, and sailed around the island at a distance of [-] feet from the island. Except for the island, they didn't see any land as far as they could see.The outer edge of the circular island is not a regular curve, but has edges and corners.

The food and water were almost used up, so Xue Buji drove the boat back.After a month, he set out again with water alone, hoping that with food and water alone, he could last a little longer and discover other lands.

This time there was a storm on the sea, although Xue Buji had martial arts, the boat couldn't hold it up, it was overturned by the wind and waves, hit the reef and broke.Xue Buji could only lie on the reef and wait for the wind and rain to pass. Holding a board, he swam for three full days and nights.

Jiang Haixi had been waiting on the shore for a long time, and when he saw Xue Buji appearing on the sea level, he plunged into the water, swam to Xue Buji's side, touched Xue Buji's face with a look of concern.

Xue Buji signaled that he was fine. In the past, he would never have been able to swim for so long, but now, he just feels a little tired and hungry.It seems that after staying on this island for three years, his body is no longer what it used to be.

Jiang Haixi supported him and swam to the shore little by little, took out water and fed it to Xue Buji.Xue Buji raised his head and poured a jar full of water, only then did he feel better.Jiang Haixi helped him to sit in the shade under the tree again, and fed a piece of dried fish soaked in honey into Xue Buji's mouth.

Xue Buji chewed the dried fish slowly, thinking about things in his mind.The Huanxin Island is surrounded by sea on all sides. He has sailed for so long, but he has not seen a stranger or stepped on a piece of mud. Maybe this Huanxin Island is the only piece of land in the world, and the rest is sea water.In any case, of the two conjectures he assumed two years ago, the first one is impossible to establish.

In this way, they can only verify the second.

But how to verify the second one?There is still a world wrapped in this world, so what kind of power is wrapped in this world?Is it a transparent membrane, a transparent cover, covering that world?Then why can't they touch this transparent membrane, the transparent cover?And who has this ability to cover a huge world in a hood?

Also, why on earth did they fall out of this cover when they fell off the cliff?

Xue Buji thought about it, couldn't help feeling desperate, and thought to himself: Could it be that my junior brother and I came to this outer world by chance, maybe we won't have a chance once in 100 years?Does that mean we can't go back?

He couldn't imagine that on this desert island, thinking too much would drive him crazy.Xue Buji could only immerse himself in practicing kung fu with Jiang Haixi. Originally, the two would still discuss this "magical cover", but after another five years, the two had kept silent about it, and they no longer talked about going back. up.

Two years ago, Xue Buji had achieved success in tempering his body.He was 17 years old when he came here, and he was 23 years old when his body was tempered.He was able to achieve success in body tempering at such a young age. Firstly, it was due to the miraculous skills of "Taiyu Hanzhen Jue", and secondly, it was due to the rich aura here.

Every autumn, he would take his younger brother to Tianji Peak to steal ripe rice and wheat.That was the only moment when the brothers felt connected to the outside world.The disciple of Tianjimen who was farming was stolen again and again. At first, he put up a sign a few times, yelling at the thief, but then he didn't know what kind of mental journey he went through, and he regarded the thief as a visitor from outside the sky, a mysterious fairy, An altar was specially set up, and five grains and three animals were offered. Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi laughed so hard that their stomachs ached, and they took all the sacrifices politely.

The two of them had been on the deserted island for so many years, and their clothes were already worn out, so Xue Buji stripped off the fabric from a scarecrow standing beside the rice field in Tianji Peak, took the hemp and used fishbone as needles to mend for Jiang Haixi. clothes.That day, the disciple of Ji Sect probably figured out what the "immortal" was thinking, and the next day he presented him with a new set of clothes.

Three years later.

The storm looked like it was coming.

Xue Buji stepped onto a rock, and the cool sea breeze swept along the ground, blowing his robes billowing endlessly.On the sea level ahead, there are layers of black clouds, extremely low and dense, the light is dim, the sky is dark blue, the sea water seems to have changed color, as if it has been poured into ink, it keeps churning and roaring.

Jiang Haixi hasn't come back yet.

He has practiced the Fighting Sea Sword to the last moment, but he has not been able to comprehend the last move, Fighting the Sea and Turning the River. For the past three days, Jiang Haixi has been sitting alone on a protruding cliff near the sea, watching the sea for meditation.

Xue Buji walked towards that cliff, the sea wind was so strong that it could blow a small boat over, but Xue Buji had already gotten used to it, walked to the cliff without haste, just like walking in a garden. The string of small shells on his wrist was blown by the wind, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Sitting there was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a shell around his neck with the word "Xi" written on it. Xue Buji also had one of this shell, which was a pair with him, and the word "Ji" was written on it. .This young man is slender, with an unmistakable temperament. His youth is pure and white, with phoenix eyes and bright eyebrows. He is a first-class beautiful young man. Last year, he has also achieved success in tempering his body. He is not afraid of the heat and cold.

The two have lived together on this island for 11 years, and they have a very tacit understanding with each other. Xue Buji doesn't need to speak, Jiang Haixi already knows his purpose, opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother, the storm is about to come." Here we come. I want to take advantage of the rain to comprehend the last sword."

Xue Buji stood in the wind, nodded and said, "I'll take care of you."

The sky was getting darker, and it was almost impossible to see the scenery five steps away.All I could hear was the increasingly violent wind and waves, blasting through the sky and earth, cracking rocks and piercing clouds.This is the first time Xue Buji has seen such a strange celestial phenomenon in 11 years. He was terrified in his heart, but he thought to himself that with his martial arts, if his junior brother encountered any accident, he would have time to save others, so he stood far away. .

As the first thunderclap exploded overhead, heavy rain fell with a crackling patter.The rain became heavier and heavier, and the vast rain curtain completely blocked the sight, weaving a piece of white smoke in the dark world.Thick black clouds gather above the head, the surroundings are pitch black, only the distant horizon has a trace of white light.

The higher the wind, the faster the waves. A big wave suddenly rose, about ten feet in length, and headed towards the west of Jianghai!Xue Buji moved forward, taking two steps against the wind and rain.He was about ten steps away from his junior brother, but he could already feel how terrifying and frightening the monstrous waves were!

After the big wave, Jiang Haixi was still sitting cross-legged, motionless!

Immediately afterwards, each wave was higher and more violent than the last, as if a god was going through a catastrophe, Jiang Haixi was hit by nine waves in succession!The last big wave rose high and was more than thirty feet long!

Jiang Haixi suddenly drew his sword!

"Since my family's sword art is called Douhai Sword, the night is long and the wind is high and the waves are rough. I can only stand up with my sword! Even if my body is smashed to pieces, I will have no fear or regret in my heart!"

The white sword is like a rainbow!

Like a white lightning, piercing through the dark world!

At that moment, the sword light illuminated Xue Buji's white vision.

Jiang Haixi only made one sword, this sword swallowed the long river, all the gods of heaven and earth were condensed in one sword, the moment it pierced the hundreds of feet of waves, it exploded like a firework, and fell like a meteor!

At that moment, the sky thunder gathered on the dome and crashed down!

"Junior brother!" Xue Buji hurried forward, holding a white hand in the black waves of Taotao.

A strange force came from Jiang Haixi's hand, as if it was the power of a star explosion hundreds of millions of years ago, it exploded in Xue Buji's body. , I don't know about personnel.

Xue Buji has woken up, but his eyes still cannot be opened, and his whole body is weak.Something cold fell on his face. Although he had already quenched his body, he could still feel the heat and cold.He felt a little cold.

cold?

Huanxin Island is warm like spring all year round. Even the northernmost part is cool, not cold at all. How can it be cold here?

Xue Buji opened his eyes.

The eyes are white, and the pine forest on the horizon in the distance is covered with snow, like a row of silent soldiers, simple and silent.

Xue Buji raised his body, and the snow under his body had already made a human-shaped pit. His hands were still tightly grasping Jiang Haixi's, and their fingers were intertwined.

Jiang Haixi had also woken up at this time, sat up with his head supported, looked around, and when he comprehended the last sword, his cheek was hurt by the waves, bleeding a little, and now it has scabbed over.He had an unbelievable expression on his face, his eyelashes were covered with snow, and when he blinked his eyes lightly, snowflakes fell.

"Brother, do we..."

"We're back!" Xue Buji was excited, but he couldn't believe it easily.He originally had no hope of coming back, but he never thought that he would actually come back again and see Master in his lifetime!

Xue Buji suppressed his excitement, pulled Jiang Haixi to stand up, looked around, it seemed to be a wasteland, and he couldn't see any smoke from the kitchen, Xue Buji planned to find someone to ask, the 11 days when he and his junior brother were not here In [-], did anything happen here, is Master okay, is Uncle Mei okay.

The two of them were barefoot. Although they had successfully tempered their bodies and their feet would not suffer from frostbite, they would still feel cold after stepping on the snow for a long time.If he had known they would come back, Xue Buji should have put on the winter clothes.

Thinking of this, Xue Buji couldn't help laughing again.He and his younger brother stayed on the desert island for 11 years, and they had grown up so much, how could they still wear their old clothes.I don't know if their appearance appears in front of old acquaintances, whether they still recognize themselves.

The two walked for half an hour, a little red flashed in the distance, it was a red fox.Xue Buji raised his hand, threw a pearl, and the red fox fell down.

Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi walked over quickly, planning to peel the fox's fur to make two pairs of boots.Unexpectedly, at this time, three feathered arrows suddenly shot at them, only three "puchi" sounds were heard, and the feathered arrows sank into the snow, three inches in front of the two people's feet.
