Jiang Baizhou is a person who lives in his own world.

He is interested in all people and things he doesn't understand, but his interest is relatively small. He often listens to a few words with a little curiosity, thinking to himself, "So that's how it is, so interesting", and it's over, that's all.

He won't think about it any more, because he feels that those are just passing clouds and have nothing to do with him.

There is very little that "has anything to do" with him.

There are even fewer people "related" to him.

Right now there is one, Jiang Baizhou stayed in that left envoy's tent for a long time, and when he left, he suddenly remembered this person.

——Things have to start six years ago.

Six years ago, Jiang Baizhou was eighteen years old, and he had achieved a great deal of skill.

He was born in the endless sea, which is far away from the outside world. There are thirteen islands in the sea, which are the fairy islands in the world.

But "Fairy Island" is just a legend. There are no gods on the island, only tens of thousands of Jiang Baizhou's fellow villagers.They have lived in seclusion on the island for thousands of years, ignoring worldly affairs, and only set up a magic circle called "Hai Gate" on the periphery of Endless Sea, which cut off the communication between Endless Sea and the outside world.

The Sea Gate Formation was jointly deployed by dozens of masters sent by the Endless Sea God Temple. The depth of the formation and the wide range are almost unprecedented.

It is said that it is a living formation with ninety-nine and 81 auxiliary formation eyes, which together form a main formation eye. The position of the main formation eye will change with the trajectory of the stars. There are many dangers in the formation, and trespassers will undoubtedly die.

As long as the sea gate is not open, the Thirteen Islands of the Endless Sea can rest in peace.

In that year, Jiang Baizhou learned all the more than 300 formations taught by his master. There was no place to continue practicing, so he came to Haimen formation alone, trying to solve the formation.

——It didn’t work out.

But I don't know which chance he triggered in the dark, or this mother sea has a natural tolerance for him. Even if it is solved wrongly, it can't bear to hurt him. By mistake, he broke into Haimen.

That was the first time Jiang Baizhou went to sea.

Before that, he didn't know what the "human world" looked like.

He came to a wild forest.

It seems to be winter.

The thirteen islands of the Endless Sea are like spring all the year round, and it was the first time he smelled the cold wind blowing against his face.

He was wandering aimlessly in the wild forest, and when he passed a frozen river, he met a man.

A child, to be precise.

Jiang Baizhou couldn't tell his exact age, he just felt that he was thin and pitiful, like a little hare that hadn't eaten enough, his fur was not smooth, and even his tail was dry and drooping.

He was also seriously injured. If he was not treated in time, he would die in Huangquan, so Jiang Baizhou had no choice but to save him.

It is not difficult to save people, but it is difficult to take care of the sick.

Although Jiang Baizhou is not a god, he is indeed a person who does not touch the world of mortals. For the first 18 years of his life, he devoted himself to cultivation almost every day. He didn't know how to deal with people, and he didn't have this consciousness. I just want to leave.

——At that time, he didn't dare to stay outside for too long, the Temple of the Endless Sea God had strict rules, he couldn't go out to sea without authorization, and he should return immediately.

So, Jiang Baizhou turned around and left after confirming that the child would not die easily.

He went out for the first time, looked around, still reluctant to part, and walked very slowly.

Then he heard footsteps behind him.

The child dragged his unhealed body and couldn't even stand upright, but he followed him closely like a tail.

Jiang Baizhou turned around and asked, "What are you following me for?"

The child didn't speak, his lips were tightly pressed, his eyes were black, and he was staring at him.

Jiang Baizhou understood.

He had rescued a little white snake from the mouth of a bird of prey before. The snake became stupid after being rescued by him. It couldn't find food by itself. It waited for him to feed it every day, and it would starve to death without him.

This kid probably does too.

Jiang Baizhou's kindness was so great that he also found a valid reason for himself not to go home. He stayed for a while and didn't go anywhere. He and the child found a ruined temple in the wilderness to keep out the wind. shelter from snow.

Until the wounds that should be healed are finally healed, and those who should go are finally going to go.

On the day of leaving, Jiang Baizhou thought he had understood a little bit, and he greeted the child: "I'm going home, take care."

The number of times the child talked to him was very limited. If he hadn't called him "brother" one time, Jiang Baizhou would have thought he was a little mute.

"Little dumb" said: "Okay, goodbye."

Jiang Baizhou left.

After walking for a while, he heard footsteps behind him again.

The "little dumb" waded through the dead leaves all over the ground, his hair was blown by the cold wind and half of his face was blurred. Seeing him turning his head, he immediately hid behind a dead tree, knowing that he couldn't hide, quietly stretched out half of his head, and One eye sneaked at him.

Jiang Baizhou said: "I'm leaving, don't follow me."

The child nodded, looking very cute.

But Jiang Baizhou continued to walk, and he continued to follow.

Jiang Baizhou was a person with almost no temper. He just thought this child was strange, and said softly, "My home is far away, so no outsiders should know about it. You are not allowed to follow me."

The child was no longer dumb, his eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again. For some reason, he asked him sadly, "Is it the sky? You really are a fairy brother."

"..."

Jiang Baizhou felt that he was a little silly, but also very funny, so he smiled at him: "Just take it for granted."

The child was even more sad.

Jiang Baizhou didn't know what he was sad about, maybe it was because of the parting.

Then he asked Jiang Baizhou: "Will you go down to earth again? I'll wait for you, okay? Zhou... Brother Zhou."

How did you answer back then——

After six years, the already blurred past became clear again, a pitiful crying face appeared in Jiang Baizhou's mind, and he remembered the child's name: Long Ying.

"My name is Longying."

"Which word is it win or lose win, or firefly's firefly?"

"It's the one at the bottom of the word fire."

"I got it, my dear girl."

"What does Yinghuo guard your heart mean?"

……

Dragon Ying.

Dragon Ying.

Long Zuoshi?

Jiang Baizhou heard a guard address that Zuo envoy, his surname was Long.

No wonder Jiang Baizhou felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity every time he came into contact with Long Zuoshi - I don't know if there are many people with the surname Long in this place, can it be such a coincidence?

probably not.

Jiang Baizhou recalled it carefully. Six years ago, Longying was thin, stupid, and disheveled. She was a poor child.And that Mr. Zuo Envoy is handsome and handsome, his whole body is air-conditioned, and his temperament is very different from that of Long Ying.

How can people change so much in just six years?

It was hard for Jiang Baizhou to imagine that they were the same person.

So, how is that kid doing now?

I don’t know if the things he left behind are still there——

Jiang Baizhou was thinking while walking, when he bumped into someone suddenly.

This is the Huiwu Camp, just now the envoy Long Zuo opened the door to see the bearded man away, Jiang Baizhou took the opportunity to walk out of the tent.

The "blindfolding" has not been removed, others can't see him, he was distracted when he was walking, and he didn't see someone coming next to him, so the other party couldn't avoid him, the two bumped into each other unexpectedly, the man thought he had bumped into each other Seeing an invisible ghost or something, he was so frightened that he almost cried out—it was the old coachman Jiang Baizhou had been looking for.

"Old man, shh." Jiang Baizhou had no choice but to show up. He pulled the old coachman behind a military tent, avoiding the patrolling soldiers, and whispered, "Don't panic, it's me."

The old coachman stroked his heart, heaved a sigh of relief, and said repeatedly: "Young master, I'm looking for you, let's go quickly! The left envoy summoned me alone just now, and he told me that he wanted to find someone and asked me to meet him." never seen it."

Jiang Baizhou was curious: "Who?"

The old coachman shook his head: "It is said that his younger sister has been separated from him for a long time. He has searched all over the years to no avail. A few days ago, he suddenly found a clue, saying that she is in Yangcheng... Sigh, although the old man is a postman in Yangcheng, But you don’t have ten or eight eyes, so how can you know everything?”

"That's it."

"Really! But he asked me, and I didn't dare to say I don't know. Everyone in Feiguang Palace kills people without blinking an eye. If he kills me in a fit of anger..." The old coachman hunched over, with cold sweat on his forehead It flowed to the face and dripped down the clusters of wrinkles.

"Then what did you say?"

"I said that the little girl in the portrait looks familiar. I may have seen it before. After I go to treat my son-in-law first, I will help him find it later—let's go! This military camp is really scary! Young master, let's go first." Let's go out and talk."

Jiang Baizhou disappeared again, and followed the old coachman to the place where the carriage was parked.

Seeing his "invisibility" ability, the old coachman was surprised and sighed, and asked repeatedly: "My lord, who are you? You are amazing."

Jiang Baizhou smiled: "It's just a trick."

The old coachman didn't believe it, but he didn't want to say more, and it was inconvenient to keep asking.

The two returned to the place where the carriage was parked, and got into the carriage one by one. Du Ning and the two children were waiting. Seeing that they were safe and sound, they felt relieved.

When leaving the Huiwu camp, the soldiers on the road turned a blind eye to the carriage and did not stop it. It should be the Long Zuo envoy who greeted him.The old coachman rode his horse into the official road at full speed, and when he turned around and could no longer see those terrifying weapon racks and military tents, he spared the panting old horse and slowed it down.

"Buying Xingyi is just ahead, and we will enter the city in half an hour." After the old coachman finished speaking to Jiang Baizhou, he turned around and found that the latter didn't listen to him, and was staring at a small river outside the curtain in a daze. The river passes through the deserted forest, and the surface is frozen, but the sound of gurgling water under the ice can still be heard.

The old coachman said: "This is the Dead Man's River. You have never heard of it? It's an evil place. If you go into it, you will bump into a ghost wall. Don't look too much."

"..."

Jiang Baizhou accidentally reunited with his old place, how could he not take a second look.

He didn't believe the theory of ghosts and gods, and said politely: "Old man, I won't go into the city with you, and we will meet again by fate."

The old coachman was taken aback, and called him together with his daughter Du Ning: "My lord, where are you going?"

Jiang Baizhou didn't say a word, and he didn't ask the old coachman to stop. They didn't see how he stood up. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Baizhou floated off the carriage, and the white figure flew to the river and disappeared.

Du Ning held the child in her arms, staring at the direction where he disappeared in a daze.

The old coachman looked back and wanted to say something to his daughter to prove that what happened today was not a dream, but he opened his mouth and lost his voice.

——How could this son be a mortal?
