Between seas

Shen Boru entered the world in the mural.The veil-like mist permeates the surroundings, the red sun hangs high in the sky, and the clouds are steaming and rosy.

A small wooden table was placed in front of Shen Boru, with black and white chess pieces placed on the table.A young man who may be in his early twenties is sitting at the table, lightly twisting a chess piece in his hand, and is thinking about where to put it.

His face was exactly the same as that of Zhang Jipeng's uncle, and he still had the sharp short knife pinned to his waist that disappeared in Zhangjiacun.

Hearing Shen Boru's footsteps, the young man raised his head slightly and said with a smile, "Shen Jun, we haven't seen each other for several months since we left Zhangjiacun. What are you doing standing up, sit down quickly."

The tone was friendly, as if he was talking to an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Shen Boru held down the restless Chao Sheng, carefully observing the surroundings.He didn't speak, but stared at the knife on the waist of "Big Uncle" and sat across from him.

Shen Boru raised his right leg a little, pointed his toes slightly to the ground, leaned forward slightly, and put his right hand on the handle of the knife intentionally or unintentionally. This posture is like a leopard gaining momentum in the dark, and it may rush out to grab it at any time. The head of the prey comes.

He could pull out his knife at any time, jump up and cut off the head of the person opposite.

The two were silent for a long time, just looking at each other.

"Brother Uncle" suddenly laughed, dropped the white piece in his hand, shook his head and said, "Shenjun, do you believe in destiny? Many, many gods have said that we nightmare monsters are monsters born in a very evil place, and we were born not to live." Fate." He paused, and then said: "There is a poem in the world, saying that we are born to be useful, if we are born only to be hacked to death by the gods, then what do we do when God is born? So, I don't believe it. Life."

"Besides, Shenjun doesn't have much time right now. Wouldn't it be nice to live a good life with that little Bailian surnamed Jiang? It's so easy to travel around the mountains and rivers, why bother with these nosy things?"

Shen Boru heard the words, and smiled: "It's a coincidence, I don't believe it either. God wants my life, but I don't want to give it. As for me and Yizhou, your Excellency is too lenient. Idle now is idle Come on, minding your own business is fine."

"It's such a pity." The young man picked up another sunspot, rubbed it between his fingers, and said softly: "The reason why our Nightmare Monster uses the word 'Nightmare' as its name is taken from the meaning of nightmare, and it will fabricate illusions to make people feel uncomfortable." Falling into fear, I can't get out until I die. It just so happens that Shenjun is also a god who is good at creating illusions. I wanted to try it a long time ago. If Shenjun entered my illusion, what would it be like..."

"Today, the gods are honored to step into this place. The illusion I created is also giving me face. It's worth my effort to teach those two incompetent stone children to lead the gods over."

As the young man said, his right hand dropped, and he was about to put down his chess piece.Only then did Shen Boru realize that the positions of the chess pieces on the table were actually the same as those of the stone puppets in the world in the painting.The entire chessboard is a shrunken version of the world, and a chess piece represents a person.

When he first entered the world in the painting, the white piece that the young man put down represented Shen Boru.And the sunspot in his hand now represents Nightmare Demon himself.

At this moment, Shen Boru thought about something clearly.

The ancient murals are not really alive, and the girls' heads are not really connected to the painted bodies.

Nightmare used this ancient mural as a medium to create a barrier leading to the illusion.The illusion is arranged according to the appearance of the ancient murals, creating the illusion that the mural scenes have become reality.And the heads of those girls were placed in it, and negative emotions such as hatred, anger, fear, etc. were absorbed by this illusion, causing it to grow abnormally and become a huge carrier, a carrier capable of carrying curses on gods and gods.

The entire world in the painting is an extremely complicated and vicious nightmare suppression technique.

Shen Boru clenched the handle of the knife with his right hand and jumped up instantly.Like a sharp arrow that had been simmering for a long time, it finally left the string at this moment.The silver frost-like knife light condensed into a line, cutting horizontally towards the nightmare monster and the small table in front of him.

The nightmare attached to the uncle's body did not hide or dodge, he smiled and looked at the oncoming sharp sword light.The moment it struck over, it landed the sunspot on the chessboard.

The small table shattered, sending sawdust flying everywhere.The Nightmare Demon was also struck by the knife light, and turned into dust and smoke.

This Nightmare Suppression Technique is still activated.

Shen Boru only heard the crisp sound of a chess piece falling on the chessboard, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed. The stone girl and the sunset glow all disappeared, and the surrounding area was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Shen Boru heard the sound of waves lapping on the beach, crashing and crashing for a long time.He took a few steps forward and smelled the smell of salty sea water.He bent down and stretched out his hand to touch the front, and the cold water rushed up and wrapped around his fingers gently.

Not long after, a ray of light pierced the darkness, the clouds dispersed, and the sky and the earth gradually became clear.And that light became more and more dazzling, illuminating the endless sea, and dyed those blue waves with a faint red.

On the calm sea, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and the sea shook violently, setting off waves after waves, and the white waves scattered and splashed like chaotic stones piercing the sky, pearls and jade.It seems that something is about to rush out of the vast sea.

Suddenly, the white foam stirred up by the waves gathered together and gradually condensed into a solid body.

It was a sharp knife, showing its edge in the turbulent sea.

The sky and the earth were empty and silent, the whistling sound of the knife mixed with the sound of the waves, and the sound shook hundreds of miles.

The surface of the sea has not calmed down yet, countless waves of water gathered together and swirled around the Guixu Land in the middle of the sea, layer upon layer, like a lotus flower in full bloom.

At the core of these water waves, a column of water leaped high, reaching directly into the morning glow of the sky.

The sea suddenly calmed down, reflecting the sky like a smooth mirror.All the water waves seem to be frozen, condensed on the sea surface, as if they are holding their breath and waiting for something.

The water column leading to the sky became transparent little by little, and the water waves slowly surged, making a sound similar to singing.

When the water column completely dissipated, a boy's figure appeared on Guixu.All his clothes were transformed by the blue sea water, and his hair was tied loosely. He seemed to be awake, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and yawned.

Wan Dao Xiaguang reflected the boy's eyes full of ignorance and curiosity. He looked at the sky and the earth and smiled.As soon as he stretched out his hand, the long knife transformed from the waves fell into his palm.

When the world first opened, it was born in Guixu in the South China Sea with the first ray of light.

The illusion that the Nightmare Demon made up for Shen Boru is his past.

Shen Boru is not a qualified fairy, especially when he was young.Although he is one of the earliest gods born, his heart is the most childish one.

At the dawn of chaos, all the gods and gods were busy constructing the world, but Shen Boru felt that his South China Sea was perfect, and there was really nothing to build, at most, he could just fill a few cups of water into it.

Shen Boru has nothing to do all day long, running around with his knife in his arms.He wanted to help other gods, but the more he helped, the worse he got.I have broken Shennong's ocher whip, Yushi Chisong's whisk, and Wangshu's frame, but I have annoyed a bunch of gods.

One day, Shen Boru saw a goddess making a clay figurine.As soon as those villains hit the ground, they would run, jump and talk.He found it interesting, pinched one according to the appearance of those villains, put it in his palm, and excitedly went to show it to the goddess.

The goddess touched his head and said with a smile: "Ah Chen, is this just a pig spirit you pinched?"

These words were like pouring a basin of cold water on Shen Boru's head, he looked at the "little pig spirit" in his palm, and felt aggrieved in his heart, he couldn't hold back, and burst into tears with a "wow".

The goddess couldn't see the child crying, so she hurriedly comforted her: "It's not a pig spirit, Ah Chen pinched it...well, it's quite similar."

No matter how bad Shen Boru was, he was still a god, so he could hear that the goddess was trying to praise him, and cried even harder.He picked up his knife and ran away angrily.

Shen Boru has been bored alone in the South China Sea for many years.Later, I heard that the gods on Kunlun Mountain designated a place called "Human World" for the little clay figurines they made, and many gods stayed in the world to teach the little clay figurines various knowledge and skills.

He was curious, so he went to the world to join in the fun.

The world is actually a beautiful place, with famous mountains and rivers, and different scenery in four seasons.More importantly, there are many kind and simple people living on this land.

Shen Boru met the goddess' elder brother, Fuxi, who was called "Holy" by everyone in the world.

To be honest, Shen Boru didn't like Fuxi very much, he felt that this old god was too rigid, every time he met him, he would teach people the truth in the area of ​​the Yellow River.

Fuxi saw that Shen Boru was still childish, and hadn't made any progress for hundreds of years, so he really didn't look like a decent fairy.He kept him by his side and taught him the truth.

If Shen Boru's age is calculated according to human calculation, it is only five or six years old, which is still very young.Asking him to listen to the truth is like playing the piano to a cow, knowing a fart.Like all impatient children in the world, he likes to make troubles under Fuxi's nose, looking for some fun and excitement.

Shen Boru is often kicked out by Fuxi and punished to stand. He has a quick temper, even if he is punished, he can't accept the punishment honestly.

Fuxi's youngest daughter is named Concubine Mi. She is also a human child, older than Shen Boru, and she is a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.From time to time, she would give Shen Boru candies to eat, and Shen Boru also liked these small candies, so he often followed her and called her "Sister Ami".

Concubine Mi is good at temperament and can play the piano well, even the fairies in Kunlun Mountain can't compare to her.She is also beautiful, and there are not a few people who pursue her.

One day, Concubine Mi said quietly to Shen Boru: "Ah Chen, I fell in love with someone, and his name is Feng Yi. Even my father doesn't know about this, so I'll tell you secretly, don't tell others."

Shen Boru scratched his head, puzzled: "Sister Ami, what is liking? What does it feel like to like someone?"

Concubine Mi folded off a few flowers and plants around her, wove it into a small wreath and put it on Shen Boru's head, and said with a slight smile: "If you like something, you just want to put it in your heart and hide it, so that no one will see it. When you like someone, you are willing to put this person in your heart, and dare not forget it until you die."

Shen Boru still didn't understand.

Concubine Mi smiled and said: "When you grow up and meet someone worthy of liking, you will understand."

Shen Boru said: "So, I'll just wait?"

Concubine Mi didn't answer, just laughed.

In the next few days, the water level in Luoshui soared, flooding the villages along the way.Concubine Mi was born on the banks of Luoshui and was the daughter of a god. Naturally, she had the responsibility to quell the flood.

She took her lyre and went to Luoshui alone.Before leaving, Shen Boru also wanted to follow, but Concubine Mi did not agree, she said: "You are the god of returning to the ruins of the South China Sea, and your responsibility lies in the South China Sea, not here. The matter of Luoshui, we in Luoshui will take care of it .You wait for me to come back, sister will buy you candy."

However, Shen Boru didn't wait until Sister A Mi came back, he waited for Luoshen to come back.

The young man named Feng Yi also threw himself into the Yellow River and never appeared again.

It is said in a book that Fuxi's youngest daughter stopped the flood, played a qin and sang by the Luohe River, sacrificed to the Luohe River behind her, and turned into a god.

Such a simple line of words hides all love and hatred.
