burn snow

Drowsy, nightmare like waves, Jiang Baizhou couldn't help himself, being pushed away by the endless white waves, he didn't know where he was.

Suddenly, he saw the master.

His master's surname is Zhou and his first name is Ji. He is a kind old man, more like a grandfather than Gongsun Bo.But at that time, Jiang Baizhou's feelings were indifferent, he didn't know what "grandfather" was, and he never cared.His master is the same, his heart is wider than the world, but occasionally he sighs because of his mother.

People are mortal, and when Zhou Ji had a premonition that his life was coming to an end, he once had a talk with Jiang Baizhou.

Nothing down to business.He has already arranged the business, needless to say, the rest is homely gossip, trivial and long-winded, like a spring rain, beating the soil with little fluff, without pain or itching.Jiang Baizhou no longer remembered the specific content, only the sound of rain remained in his ears.

It was only later that he realized that it was farewell.

Jiang Zhu also said goodbye to him.

But she is not kind, not gentle, not even speaking.

As usual, she came to the elders' house alone, staring at XiaobaiZhou and writing.Seeing that he made a mistake, she helped to correct it. If he didn't make a mistake, she just watched him silently, looking at his writing, his hands, and his face.

Occasionally, the mother and son met their gazes, Jiang Zhu still had no expression on his face, and Xiao Baitian turned away unhappy, unwilling to pay attention to her any more.

Jiang Baizhou remembered that what he wrote silently that day was "Xiaoyaoyou". "Peng's migration in Nanmingye, the water hits three thousand miles, and the one who swings upwards ninety thousand miles." This kind of bird?"

Jiang Zhu is an honest mother, she said: "I don't know, I haven't seen it."

Xiao BaiZhou sighed: "It would be fine if I were it."

That was the first time in his life that he sighed, regretting that he was not a bird.

And when he wrote "The perfect man has no self, the gods have no merit, and the sage has no name", Jiang Zhu just got up and was about to leave.

Before leaving, she asked, "Do you understand this?"

XiaobaiZhou nodded resolutely, even a little unhappy, thinking that she underestimated himself, and said with a bit of a temper: "Of course I understand! Master said, I am much smarter than you were when you were young!"

Jiang Zhu smiled: "Okay, you should be smarter than me."

Her smile is very beautiful, but her smile is extremely rare, like an incomparable rainbow, it is colorful.

In the evening, someone said to Xiao Bai Zhou: "Your mother has passed away."

It turned out that that smile was also a farewell.

The last words she left were "You should be smarter than me".

Jiang Zhu died, and brought Gongsun Shu with him, XiaobaiZhou didn't cry.

Zhou Ji died, and the grown-up Baitian lost the person who treated him best, but he didn't cry either.

His master said: "The endless sea is boundless and boundless, and there is plenty of water. You don't need a drop of tear. You should keep it."

Jiang Baizhou carried his master's body into the sea soul boat with his own hands, and held a sea burial.

Amidst the Great Elder's chanting, the surging waves pushed away Jiang Baizhou's closest relatives.

The seabirds wailed, and the sun was setting. He stood in the sea breeze, as if his soul had been blown away by the wind, and his body turned into a rock on the Thirteen Islands of the Endless Sea, guarding it all his life.

Jiang Baizhou couldn't wake up.

Countless pictures flashed in the dream, and finally a flower appeared.

Ruined temples, statues of gods, burning snow in full bloom alone.And one... more than once someone with red eyes in front of him.

Jiang Baizhou was pulled back to the present world by a familiar voice, and slowly opened his eyes.

This is a dimly lit house, the oil lamp is burning, the wick like a bean swaying slightly, he is lying on the bed, smelling the aroma of food.

He tilted his head slightly and looked under the bed. There were three people sitting at a dining table, they were Long Ying, Long Xin and Ji Yunchan.

They seemed to be talking about the history of Wu's family, and when they talked about "Wu Kuo went to sea", they found that he was awake, and they all turned their heads.

Ji Yunchan said in surprise, "Brother Zhou, you finally woke up!"

Long Xin was still wearing the cloak, but the veil was taken off, revealing a complete face, with a shy and soft smile, and asked him: "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Long Ying didn't speak, just stared at him, silent very delicately.

Jiang Baizhou also stared at Long Ying.

For some reason, she suddenly subconsciously looked at him.

There is no doubt that Long Ying is a person with outstanding looks, with profound facial features and serious manner.Although he often acts coquettishly in front of Jiang Baizhou, that kind of coquettishness is a kind of deliberate flattery. He really doesn't like to laugh. Like Jiang Zhu, he likes to stare at Jiang Baizhou silently the most.

In the past, Long Ying's silence was sharp, just like himself, thin as a knife, dormant like a beast, with a murderous aura of insubordination, as if he was about to wait for an opportunity to deal Jiang Baizhou a fatal blow.

But now he has changed inexplicably.

His silence suddenly became heavy, as if something was pressing on his heart like a mountain, almost crushing him.It also left him no time to think about how to attack Jiang Baizhou. Just "enduring" this matter would consume all his strength.

He seemed to be in pain.

"..."

Jiang Baizhou was surprised that he had become so sensitive and sensitive. He had never been able to notice these things before, but now they suddenly became clear, rushing into his eyes and heart, as if the mountains that suppressed Longying were also pressing on his heart.

Jiang Baizhou tried to get up, but Long Ying immediately came to help him, hugged him halfway, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to eat?"

Jiang Baizhou nodded.

In the past, he almost didn't eat three meals a day, and he seldom felt hungry, but now he really seems to have lost his immortal soul and become a mortal bone.

Long Ying fed him with his own hands, but Jiang Baizhou refused, but Long Ying refused to listen and insisted on feeding him.

Jiang Baizhou had no choice but to bear it. He ate some porridge slowly, and felt that his strength had recovered a little. He pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm not really hungry, am I?"

Both Ji Yunchan and Long Xin laughed, but Long Ying didn't smile. He put away the porridge bowl, ignored the two sisters watching, and kissed Jiang Baizhou's mouth very naturally, and said, "There are soldiers hunting us inside and outside the city. , this is the place where Longxin lives, in the deep forest in the outskirts, let's hide for a while."

To be precise, this is the place where Wu Kun lived in seclusion before his death, and it was later owned by Long Xin.

The house is not big, but it is clean and tidy, with everything you need.There was a window, and it was dark outside the window, it was night.

What Wu Kun left to Long Xin was not only the hut he built with his own hands, but also countless classics and Wu's unknown family secrets.

When Jiang Baizhou was in a coma, the three of them had already exchanged information, and at this time he told Jiang Baizhou again, Long Xin said: "Wu's blood is divided into two branches, one has been passed down for dozens of generations, and the last The descendants are Wu Kun's predecessors. The other is Wu Kuo's descendants. According to Wu Kun's predecessors, Wu Kuo took his family to sea and escaped from the paradise, but he did not intend to be alone and never come back. a secret."

"...What secret?" Before Long Xin finished speaking, Jiang Baizhou had a premonition in his heart.

As he expected, Long Xin said: "Back then, the formation was completed, the leylines were damaged, and the power of the leylines was mixed with the poisonous gas. If it erupted endlessly, the poisonous gas would use the power of the leylines to quickly destroy everything in the world. Wu Jia couldn't solve it." Even Wu Kuo can't. But after Wu Jia's death, Wu Kuo painstakingly studied for dozens of days and nights, and found a way to relieve it. That is to use the crossing spirit stone to transfer the power of the earth's veins to places with more crossing spirit stones. As a 'store', one day, if someone can crack the five elements, heaven and earth, and then turn back the power of the earth veins, the world can be saved."

"..."

If so, the power of the earth veins is in the endless sea.

No wonder Wu Kun would ask "When will the moon come in the blue sky?" Like his ancestors for generations, he has been waiting until his death, waiting for the return of his old friend who is far away from the vast sea, to save this world full of holes.

But Wu Kuo had calculated everything, but he didn't know what happened. Wu's formation was inherited in the Thirteen Islands of the Endless Sea, but no one knew the secret.

Has this history been deliberately erased?

Since which generation has it been lost?Why?Probably for "self-preservation".

After all, the Five Elements Heaven and Earth are so vast that Jiang Baizhou sighed in admiration.

But he is already the most proficient in learning formations among the high priests and many heirs of the past dynasties. What would other seniors who are not so proficient in formations think?Naturally, close the door and protect yourself first.Otherwise, the formation will not be broken, and disaster will be caused.

This is human nature, and it is difficult to be harsh.

But people are also different. Some people only sweep one house, while others are willing to sweep the world. I am afraid that it is to prevent future generations who are in charge from taking the risk of making the second choice. A certain ancestor will hide the history and simply not tell them.

Jiang Baizhou sighed, feeling complicated for a while.

He leaned against Longying and didn't speak for a long time.Long Ying didn't speak, and an invisible depression spread between the two.

Ji Yunchan was much more naive than them, and said optimistically: "Brother Zhou went back to the endless sea to rescue the soldiers, wouldn't we be able to break the battle immediately?! At that time, the common people will stand by our side, join hands, bang bang bang!" Bang, knock down my father and the others!"

She danced and danced, with voices in her movements, as if singing an opera.

Long Xin smiled softly, and said tactfully, "I'm afraid it's not that easy."

"why?"

"Wu Kuo only said 'transfer', but did not leave a way of 'transfer'. The reason why the power of the earth veins can go to the endless sea is because the endless sea has a huge crossing stone mine. What should we do when we come back? There are not so many crossings in Buried Star Spirit stones, we can't transport as many mountain crossing spirit stones from the depths of the sea, and it suppresses the power of the leylines, so I'm afraid it can't be easily excavated."

"Then what should we do?" Ji Yunchan was dumbfounded, and turned her gaze to Jiang Baizhou, "Brother Zhou, do you have a solution?"

Jiang Baizhou shook his head and said, "I'll go back and think about it."

So, the topic went back to saying goodbye.

Jiang Baizhou is not a spring rain, nor a rainbow, he is a mountain that weighs on Longying's heart, uneven and endless, steep but also generous, cold and ruthless but also gentle and tolerant.What did Long Ying want him to say?

Long Ying herself didn't know either.

Or don't say anything, just come back.

Saying goodbye should not be done too solemnly, otherwise it will become a hint of farewell.

Long Ying don't want to say goodbye forever.

"I'll wait for you." He said to Jiang Baizhou, "I'll wait for you forever."
