I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

Hearing that he suddenly mentioned the country of Qi, Shui Jing didn't understand what he meant for a moment, but soon, a young man raised in an earthen jar appeared in front of his eyes.

A few years ago, he and Shijiu went to the Qi Kingdom together, and that time, they met the eldest son of the Qi Kingdom Emperor who was raised in an earthen jar like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered according to legend.

There are countless cruel things in this world, and Shui Jing and Shi Jiu have seen too many. When they hid in the dark and saw the child's situation from a distance, they didn't have much emotion, they just said in their hearts "the world is the best" No surprises."

The eldest son of the emperor was taciturn, maybe it wasn't taciturn, it was just that no one spoke to him.

Later, when Shui Jing passed by Qi Country, he visited him a few times, and he found that the child closed his eyes most of the time, and even if he opened them, he couldn't see any emotion in them, just like a corpse with eyes open.

Only once, Shui Jing saw a completely different look in his eyes than usual.

It was late at night, and there was a ten-year-old girl sitting in front of the crock, with an empty medicine basket beside her, sitting on the ground with her knees hugged, with a sweet smile on her face, chattering in a low voice. Lacy chattered, occasionally giggling to himself when he mentioned something interesting.

Her eyes have been looking at the eldest son of the emperor seriously, but she doesn't seem to need a verbal response from him.As if as long as his eyes were open, she could feel him listening.

After talking for an unknown amount of time, the little girl seemed to say that she was thirsty. She licked her lips, looked up and looked around, but couldn't find anything to drink. Her eyes fell back to the earthen pot in front of her. Fingertips dipped a drop of concoction from the jar into his mouth.

Before the eldest son of the emperor showed his astonishment, her face wrinkled into a ball, she squinted her eyes and frowned, sticking out her tongue, and muttered childishly: "It's really hard."

The eldest son of the emperor obviously didn't expect this, his eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't recover.

The little girl raised her eyes and saw his eyes, she suddenly gave a chuckle, bent her eyes and said playfully, "But it doesn't matter."

She raised her hand and took out a small crumpled paper ball from her bosom, peeled off the paper layer by layer, twisted out a rough grain of sugar from the inside, and reached out her hand to the mouth of the eldest son of the emperor.

The eldest son of the emperor stared blankly at her, and after understanding what she meant, he looked down at the candy, seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still opened his mouth slightly and sipped the candy into his mouth.

The little girl smiled in satisfaction, licked the sugar residue on her fingertips, rewrapped the ball of paper and stuffed it into her bosom, she put her palms together and said seriously: "Okay, now the medicine is bitter, but you are sweet." .”

At that moment, Shui Jing leaned against the corner and listened to the little girl's innocent words, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but follow her with a hint of a smile.

There are thousands of sufferings in the world, and all living beings have their own pains, but it seems that as long as there is such a ray of light, a gap can be cut in the dark night.

When the little girl left with the medicine basket in her arms, the eldest son of the emperor followed her back until she drifted away and disappeared into the hazy night.

He didn't look back, but still stared in that direction, not sure if he was lost in thought or thinking.

After a long time, he lowered his eyes, sipped the sugar in his mouth, the corners of his mouth curved as if there was nothing, and then closed his eyes.

……

Seeing Shui Jing's distraction, Shi Jiu didn't know what he was thinking, and said, "The eldest son of the emperor, do you still remember?"

Shui Jing came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Of course, I don't know how the child is doing now."

Shi Jiu shook his head slowly, not knowing whether he was regretting or sighing, Shui Jing gave him a puzzled look, and then Shi Jiu said: "I went to see him a few times later, there is someone who grew up with him beside him. The eldest maid who added medicine, often accompanied him and chatted with him in the dead of night, she looked like a clever girl, probably the only light in the child's dark life."

"Well, I know her. I saw her when I went there two years ago."

Shui Jing agreed, but suddenly felt a little strange: "Isn't this very good? Why are you shaking your head?"

Shi Jiu glanced at him and said, "When I went there last year, that girl was gone."

Shui Jing was surprised: "It's gone?"

Shi Jiu nodded and said: "I heard that he fed the little prince something that shouldn't be fed when adding the medicine, and was caught and exposed and sentenced to death, not even a whole body was left behind."

Shui Jing saw the little girl's sweet smile, and the little hand holding the sugar grains, suddenly felt a little depressed, frowned, raised her hand and reached for the gourd on the table.

Shi Jiu quickly slapped his hand away, and took the gourd back into his hand.

Shui Jing stared at him in disbelief: "Why?"

Shi Jiu hid the gourd behind his back, squinted at him and said, "Don't even think about getting a drink with me, you'll have to talk about the beginning of the world and the conflicts between nations in one sip, and you may not be able to stop talking about the three poles in the sun."

Shui Jing was angry and funny: "Is it that exaggerated?"

Shi Jiu snorted and said with a smile: "If you really want to drink, you can't do it. After drinking, I will take you to the king and let you tell him the secrets of his bed."

"Tsk," Shui Jing looked at him suspiciously, "I even said that?"

Shi Jiu raised his eyebrows to look at him, "What do you think" was written in his eyes?

Over the past 1000 years, Shui Jing has encountered wine just once, and it happened to be on the way to swim with Shijiu.

He remembered that he only drank less than one glass that time, but when he sobered up, he looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.

It was only later that he realized that after drinking, he neither made noise nor fell asleep, so he adhered to the principle of "telling the truth after drinking" and started talking about it seriously from the beginning of the world, which is almost equivalent to those thin books that hid him in Four Seasons Mountain. I recited it all over again.

When someone asks a question, he will take the trouble to answer every question. When no one pays attention to him, he will talk to himself until he sobers up.

He tried to interrupt him in the middle of drinking, so he picked some questions that he thought he would not be able to answer to make things difficult, but unexpectedly he answered them fluently without hesitation, even the birthdays of the empresses in the harem of a certain country are like a treasure.

Shi Jiu jokingly said: "Just like you, if you are captured someday, you don't need to torture to extract a confession, just give you a glass of wine and you will be able to expose yourself."

"Then someone has the ability to catch me." Shui Jing smiled disapprovingly, "not to mention a clean and self-conscious person like me, who can tell people everything, so why not? "

"Well," Shi Jiu nodded with a half-smile, "I just don't know how those kings should feel when they heard about the love affair between their beds from you."

Shui Jing didn't quarrel with him anymore, she got up and walked to the window that was opened when he came, took a deep breath of the moist air mixed with the fragrance of green grass, and drove away the oppression that had just passed away from her chest.

Shi Jiu got up behind him, and joked as he walked towards the window: "Why, are you going to show me another June Snowstorm?"

Shui Jing couldn't help laughing.

When he and Shijiu first met, because Shijiu was curious about his so-called aura, he waved a snowstorm in the midsummer, which made the people of the city panic, and they all said that if something abnormal, there must be a demon. , One after another dragged their families and planned to leave here. It took the government a lot of effort to appease the restless people.

It has been a thousand years in a flash, but it seems like yesterday.

"You have a good idea," Shui Jing smiled and glanced at the jade pendant on his waist, "I don't have much spiritual energy left, so I won't waste it on you."

He paused, then chuckled again and said, "Perhaps in another one or two hundred years, I will experience reincarnation just like you."

Shi Jiu walked up to him, followed his gaze to look down at the jade pendant, raised his head and said, "Why, it's almost exhausted?"

Shui Jing nodded.

Shi Jiu was silent for a moment, then said again: "But I remember you said that spiritual energy can be replenished."

Shui Jing raised an eyebrow and smiled, noncommittal.

What Shijiu said is right, there is indeed a way to replenish the spiritual energy. Guruo, Fulan and Gongyuan once planted a tree on the top of Nanshan Mountain, and that tree is a sacred object that absorbs spiritual energy. Turn the souls of the world for your own use, and make the souls scattered into aura and collected in the jade pendant.

It's just that he has never tried it, and he doesn't plan to try it.

Thousands of years ago, he grew up in the Four Seasons Mountain and had not set foot in the world. When he first saw the memory of the dragon blood tree left by his mother, Gu Ruo, he was very puzzled.

Why did Gong Yuan and his parents leave this tree behind?Is it just a fetish for him to replenish his aura?

It is understandable that parents have such selfishness, but why does Gongyuan agree?Humans are created by the common abyss, how could he be willing to destroy thousands of souls to protect one?

Later, he left Four Seasons Mountain and went south, crossing the North Sea to the human world, wandering in the human world for thousands of years, and after seeing countless fights and plunders, he gradually understood.

Long before Gu Ruo created amniotic fluid to wash his memory, there was a turbulent disaster in the human world that caused the loss of life due to the long-lasting memory.Whether it was the same or different, even the mountains, rivers, forests and grasses that the five gods spent tens of millions of years shaping with their own spiritual energy, all of them were almost destroyed by that disaster.

Perhaps it was at that time that Father, Mother and Gong Yuan became worried about whether human beings could coexist safely with all things in the world.

They are not sure what kind of existence human beings will become in the end, whether the existence of human beings is good or bad for the whole world, and more importantly, they don't have much time to be sure.

Therefore, they left a door between the continuation of the world and the extinction of the world. This door is the dragon blood tree, the carp is the key, and Shui Jing is the gatekeeper.

If one day, that disaster happens again, before human beings are destroyed, Shui Jing can turn the world around with the power of the dragon's blood tree, turn all human souls into spiritual energy, and then use these spiritual energy to reshape the world.

However, Father, Mother and Gong Yuan seem to be overly concerned.

For thousands of years, not only have human beings never had the desire to destroy the world, but they have carefully crafted the world to have their own order, laws, and way of survival.

War still exists, but the meaning of its existence is no longer "destruction", but "change", changing the world pattern and the way of human existence.

Save the fittest and discard the chaff.

The "door" of the dragon's blood tree has long been useless. Shui Jing believes that if Gong Yuan and his parents can witness today's world, they will be gratified by it.

As for the secret of the dragon blood tree, let it never see the light of day.

When one's aura is exhausted, one enters the world and reincarnates, touches love and hate in one life, and forgets the past in the next life, no one in this world will know the true use of the dragon blood tree.

So, great.

Shui Jing was still in a daze, Shi Jiu saw that he didn't intend to elaborate, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Since there is a way to replenish the aura, and Shui Jing said that he will start reincarnating in 200 years, it probably only means that he doesn't intend to use that method.

Thinking of this, Shi Jiu smiled with relief: "It doesn't matter if the spiritual energy is exhausted, anyway, even if you are a cold person like you, even if you reincarnate, you will never forget the past like me, and it is no different from you now."

Shui Jing knew that his teasing was to avoid the topic just now, and followed his words: "Yes, there is no difference."

He turned his head to look at Shi Jiu, suddenly raised his arms, raised one eyebrow and shook his head, sighing, "It's just a pity for my handsome and handsome skin, I don't know if I can be so suave after reincarnation."

Shi Jiu was stunned for a moment, then he sneered, and then trembled all over his body. With trembling arms, he handed the gourd to Shui Jing, and said with a smile, "Come on, let me use you to wash my eyes, I'm afraid I'm not blind." gone."

Shui Jing patted his hand away and laughed too.

The two laughed side by side for a long time before they finally stopped their smiles and both of them took a deep breath.

After the laughter and talking stopped in the room, it seemed more silent than before, only the pattering rain outside the window continued.

For thousands of years, the two of them have long been used to being alone, and they are not unfamiliar with this kind of silence, nor do they feel the need to say something to break the silence.

After standing there facing the night and the rain for a while, Shui Jing suddenly said: "You stayed in Yu Country this time, it's not all because of the war in Qiongsang, right?"

The tone of his words didn't sound like a question, but more like stating a fact.

Shi Jiu was not surprised by his judgment, but asked calmly, "What do you think?"
