Between seas

When Shen Boru left Guixu, he took a small white lotus the size of a palm with him.

He built a small house on a small island in the South China Sea, and kept the little white lotus in a clean water tank.

Everyone in the world said that the things born in the abyss of Guixu are monsters that should not survive and should be cut off.But Shen Boru has always liked beautiful things, since this little white lotus bloomed to him in the dark, he couldn't let it go.

The nightmare monsters in the ruins all held great malice towards Shen Boru, so the kindness shown by the little white lotus towards Shen Boru was particularly precious.This feeling is as if the spring breeze blows away the willows outside the pass, very gentle.

Shen Boru would often come to the reef at the southernmost tip of the island with a clean water tank in his arms, look into the distance at the simple fishing boats returning from the waves, or listen to short songs hummed by sharks when weaving rope under the full moon.Every time, Shen Boru would smile and say to Xiao Bailian: "Look, this is the South China Sea, a very beautiful place."

Little Bailian couldn't speak, but Shen Boru felt that it could hear what she was saying.Maybe it's because he's been alone for too many years, but he regards Xiaobailian as a bosom friend and loves to talk to her about everything.

Little Bailian didn't say anything, and stood quietly by Shen Boru's side. Occasionally, when the wind blew, it would gently shake the stems and leaves, and make a small "rustling" sound, as if there was a response.

In winter, the temperature in the South China Sea drops sharply.Shen Boru would move the little white lotus into the inner room and burn some charcoal to make the room warm.

They lived in the South China Sea for many years, until the day when the Tianzhu collapsed.

A long time ago, humans and gods lived together on the same land, and the two were almost the same.It's just that the gods are in the north of Kunlun, and the people are by the Yellow River, so they don't come and go very often.

The sky and the earth are separated by the high Buzhou Mountain, separated by [-] miles.Therefore, Buzhou Mountain is also called "Tianzhu".

It was fine, but two human leaders jumped out of nowhere, and broke Buzhou Mountain during the fight.

This is a big deal.

The dense thunder and lightning split the sky, like an old pottery with cracked lines, and began to tilt to the southeast, pressing against the trembling earth.Water flooded down from the break of Buzhou Mountain in the sky, and the Milky Way fell straight down, submerging the people and animals in the village, and the fertile Central Plains became Wanli Zeguo in an instant.

After such a big event happened, Shen Boru settled his little white lotus and went to Buzhou Mountain.

When he arrived, it was already the seventh day since the Tianzhu collapsed.The Goddess who once made earth for human beings refined the five-color divine stones, cut off the four feet of the giant turtle, and went to fill the hole in the sky.

Knowing that she would not come back again, the goddess bid farewell to the gods on Kunlun Mountain before leaving.She walked up to Shen Boru and said to him: "Ah Chen, you are young. If we are not here in the future, you have to guard this world well."

Seeing that Shen Boru was depressed, the goddess knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be sad. The so-called life and death are just that we will always stay at a certain place on your long road of life and will not move forward. In fact, for you , we are just passers-by, and you will continue to move forward. Maybe you will become more and more lonely, but don’t stop. Because you are carrying what we have not completed, no matter what, you must go on happily for us.”

The goddess smiled again: "Then I'm leaving."

Shen Boru was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and whispered: "Take care."

Then, she never came back.

After the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, it was the highest in Kunlun. The gods cast copper pillars on the top of Kunlun Mountain to support the sky and earth, and sent white dragons to guard it.

After doing these things, a group of innate gods left Kunlun, and opened up the heavens, no longer interfering in human affairs.

Shen Boru chose to stay in the world.

He returned to his South China Sea.

That dilapidated little house still stands alone on the small island in the sea.When Shen Boru pushed open the "squeaky" wooden door, he didn't see the little white lotus he raised. There was a boy squatting beside the bed and grilling fish.

He has not yet fully transformed, and there is a big emerald lotus leaf on his head.

Seeing Shen Boru pushing the door and coming in, the boy's eyes lit up, he threw the half-cooked fish in his hand, and murmured: "You're back, I'm hungry."

Shen Boru stood at the door, and the morning light elongated his shadow and landed in front of the boy.He smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

The boy moved forward, raised his head and thought for a moment, picked up the half-grilled fish that was thrown aside, and handed it to Shen Boru: "I like you...you made it."

Shen Boru went over to pick up the fish in his hand, sat on the ground and grilled it.

The boy leaned against Shen Boru and asked, "Where did you go? It was raining heavily before, and those people said that the sky was going to collapse. I thought you left me and fled alone."

"I won't escape."

"Will that leave me?"

"Neither."

Satisfied, the boy smiled.

Shen Boru glanced at him and asked, "We've been together for so long, I still don't know your name."

The boy said: "I don't want to choose a name now."

"why?"

"The name must be called for a lifetime. I want to find a very, very good one. It's best...It's best to be comparable to a god."

Shen Boru shook his head and chuckled, he handed the boy the grilled sea fish, and said in a helpless tone, "Okay."

"By the way, the god." The boy leaned on Shen Boru's side with his legs propped up, gnawed a big mouthful of hot fish, looked at Shen Boru, and smiled shyly: "Does the god like my flowers? But flowers are important to our plants. I will be embarrassed if you like that big baby that has been passed on from generation to generation."

Shen Boru: "..."

Shen Boru couldn't react a little bit, didn't it mean that the refined white lotus is soft and cute, crying and chirping at every turn, do I feel pity for it?How did he raise this, which is a little hard to describe?

I think that when he was a child, at most he would make the old man angry, and he didn't know what "passing on the family line" meant, let alone uttered swear words like "big baby".

Shen Boru lowered his eyes, avoiding the sight of the little white lotus spirit: "Don't say such words in the future."

But Xiaobailianjing smiled. He blinked, deliberately looked into Shen Boru's eyes, and asked, "Which word does God not let me say? Pass on the family line, big baby, or... like it?"

Shen Boru didn't know what to answer for a while, he suspected that his little white lotus was an acquired dye.

The author has something to say:

The fairy tales that everyone knows are abbreviated.

Also, when everyone sees that my description is suddenly detailed, or when I use a series of idioms, I am Kawen (my favorite apprentice brother in Jisanli also praised me for being delicate, I...I am just Kawen)
