I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

He pulled out the long bronze sword that pierced into the shark's back and threw it aside, raised his hand to cover the sword hole on its back, and after a while, the sword wound healed under his hand, but the giant shark remained motionless and did not respond.

Shui Jing froze for a moment, then withdrew his hand.

died?

He walked around the giant shark and found that it did not have any signs of being alive.

Reiki can heal wounds and rejuvenate vegetation, but it cannot bring back to life the dead.

Humans have soul essence, birds and beasts also have soul essence, the soul essence will leave the body when the body dies, even if the body recovers, the soul essence cannot be recalled.

"Tsk," Shui Jing murmured, "Why are you so delicate?"

He has never liked to intervene in the life and death of the human world, and he treats birds and beasts equally, and has no intention of exchanging the life of this giant shark for the lives of those ships. A delay is a step too late.

But now that the matter has come to this point, there is nothing Shui Jing can do, he is not the one who hurts the spring and the autumn, and he has no guilt at all for this giant shark.

He sat on the ground, patted the shark corpse and said: "You hurt people's lives before I hurt your life for others. According to the human world, this can be regarded as retribution of karma, and you won't have any complaints."

He picked up the long sword that he dropped just now and looked at it. At this time, the sword body was bent, with a lot of wear and tear, and it was covered with blood. It was obviously unusable.

Shui Jing thought for a while, tapped the shark corpse with the blade of his sword, and said: "Since you are dead now, and your soul is separated from your body, in my opinion, don't waste this body and flesh, I will make the best of it for you." Use it."

After finishing speaking, he got up and quickly picked out the shark bone from the shark corpse, and dragged the remaining flesh and blood into the sea.

As soon as the corpse entered the sea, the sharks swarmed up and devoured it in a short time.

After eating, the group of sharks no longer gather here, and instead swim to the deep sea.

Shui Jing cleaned the shark bone with sea water and put it aside, sat on the beach and stretched, took out the booklet soaked in water from his arms, shook it, spread it out to dry beside him, and then Lie back on the pillow, raise your legs, and look at the sky.

For thousands of years, Shui Jing has long been used to being alone at this moment.

When you are alone, you don't have to pay attention to the change of the sun and the moon, you don't have to care about the rain and snow, and you don't have to worry about the passage of time.

He has never known what loneliness is, and he has never cared about it, but at this moment, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky, fleeting images flicker before his eyes from time to time.

Looking at the top of the Ming Pagoda, the boy kneeling down looking at the sea.

Under the star river, the slender figure standing on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back.

In the moonlight, the boy closed his eyes and raised his jaw slightly at the stern of the boat.

Shui Jing couldn't help bending his eyes and smiling.

The clouds roll and the clouds relax, the sun rises and the moon rises, and the day and night change.

After an unknown amount of time, Shui Jing got up, stepped on the reefs on the shore, dived into the bottom of the sea, and explored for a while.

After landing again, he put the dried booklet into his arms again, took the shark bone, and flew northward.

……

After returning to the land, Shui Jing did not stop, but turned to walk and continued northward, then eastward, until entering the territory of Qiongguo.

The battle of Daluan's attack on Qiong lasted for a very short time. After Qiong's defense line collapsed, Qiongdu immediately fell.

After the capital was taken, the defenders of other cities surrendered without a fight. Therefore, the loss and impact of the war on Qiong was very small.

Qiong State is different from Sang State in that it is suitable for survival due to water and soil improvement. It is "naturally beautiful", covered with green mountains, green waters, and fertile soil. It seems that when the world was created, the gods favored it very much.

The so-called one side of water and soil raises one side of people. Born in this land of beautiful mountains, clear waters, red, green, and green, most Qiong people have an innate talent and agility. They are good at calligraphy, painting, poetry, singing and dancing, and fine craftsmanship.

But also because of this, the whole country is filled with an atmosphere of "drinking today, worrying about tomorrow, worrying about tomorrow". From the common people to the court, "timely enjoyment" is regarded as the way of survival.

In the words of the world, this is "not thinking about making progress", but in Shui Jing's view, there is nothing wrong with it.

Life is only a few dozen years, if it is all used to plan "tomorrow", then "today" is not torment?

However, everything in the world is too much, and it is precisely because of this atmosphere that the Qiong Kingdom's royal family was finally wiped out.

On closer inspection, there are two reasons.

First, all the pavilions, palaces and gardens in Qiong Kingdom are built extremely luxuriously and beautifully.

How gorgeous is it?When Qiongguo buildings appeared in the South China Sea and turned into mirages, people said that they were fairy mountains on the sea, with exquisite pavilions and five clouds, and there were many fairies among them.

Luxury and splendor do not come out of thin air. The treasury has limited gold and silver. Since we must continue to invest in the construction of buildings, we must increase taxes and waste money.

Second, the royal family of Qiong Kingdom has almost strict requirements on the sophistication of utensils and playthings, ranging from screens and couches, to tables and folding fans, to cups, saucers and chopsticks. .

What is the mystery?

Or it can be folded, or it can be disassembled, or it can have a mechanism, or it can have interlayers, or it can be hidden in some way.

In short, the screen can’t be just a screen, it’s better to cover a bronze mirror, and the couch can’t just be a couch, it’s better to store thousands of books.

Therefore, in Qiong Kingdom, the status of a good craftsman will even surpass that of a general with great military achievements.

With so much emphasis on utensils and light on military affairs, why did the royal family resist the enemy and not be destroyed?

While thinking wildly, Shui Jing continued to head east, and then turned north until he reached the border of Qiong Kingdom, which was close to Zhongling Kingdom, and entered a small town named "Yaotao".

Recipe, Shining.

As its name suggests, this town is full of peach blossoms in full bloom, and there are countless peach forests of different sizes. Looking down from the sky, the houses and houses are dotted among the flowers, which is picturesque.

Arriving outside a peach orchard surrounded by wooden fences, Shui Jing walked around to the main entrance and stopped.

There is a half-person-high stone in front of the door, with a word "stone" engraved on it, as if afraid that others will not know that it is a stone.

There is a wooden plaque on the lintel, engraved with the words "Attack jade with stone".

It is not accurate to say that it is a door. The door has only a frame, but no door panel. It seems to be announcing to those who come that this Yaotao Town is a peaceful place.

Stepping into the peach forest, the breeze is blowing in the face, and the flowers are falling everywhere.

Shui Jing walked through this maze-like forest with ease, and gradually heard the sound of gurgling water.

Ask him how clear is it? Come for the active water.

The water in the pool is clear to the bottom, fish and rocks are in harmony, and the wooden bridge on the pool twists and turns, leading to a wooden house on the opposite side. The wooden house stands on the water, and behind it is a low-hanging waterfall. In the middle, I don't know where I will go.

Shui Jing stepped onto the bridge and zigzags to the front of the house.

There is a door to the house, but it is also wide open, almost the same as the courtyard door.

The doors and windows were open, and the room was very bright. One person sat cross-legged at the edge of the small desk with his back to the door, his hands on the desk, his head bowed deeply, as if he was concentrating on tinkering with something.

Shui Jing shook his head and smiled, feeling very helpless that he was so focused that he didn't even notice anyone approaching, but he didn't want to scare him, so he whistled like a bird singing towards his back.

The figure paused, then turned around.

It was a young boy of twelve or thirteen years old, with delicate features, looked very gentle and tranquil, and still had a bit of childish innocence.

He turned his head and saw the water mirror outside the door, first his eyes widened in surprise, then the corners of his mouth raised and he grinned, revealing a very happy smile.

Shui Jing was amused by his exaggerated expression, and said as he approached, "Little dumb?"

The young boy stared at him for a moment, and he was not at all unhappy when he heard this name, but nodded his head a few times, as if he wanted to show that he heard it.

The little boy is indeed a little mute, but he is not a simple little mute.

His surname is Shi, and he was the youngest craftsman in Qiongguo's Magic Pavilion before Qiongguo was captured by Daluan.

The Huanji Pavilion was established by the royal family of Qiong Kingdom by recruiting all the famous craftsmen in the country, and its existence is to meet the royal family's requirements for the most exquisite and beautiful utensils.

There used to be hundreds of craftsmen in Huanji Pavilion, all of whom were from well-known families of craftsmen from all over Qiongguo. From gold ware smelting to jade carving, from pottery firing to painting and calligraphy mounting, they each had their own specialties, and each of them had their own specialty. The best of craftsmen.

And the Shi family where the little mute in front of me is, the original ancestral skill is to make weapons, but the weapons are not liked by the royal family of Qiong Kingdom.

After the little mute entered the Magic Pavilion, he was often forced to transform the weapons that had been cut into iron and mud into ostentatious decorations. In his opinion, this kind of behavior was not only wasteful, but also an insult to ancestral skills.

Therefore, he often shirks that he is not skilled in craftsmanship and cannot bear the responsibility.

As time passed, he became less and less valued in the Pavilion of Fantasy.

The little mute doesn't care whether he is valued or not, and he can't do what he likes to be good at. He would rather go back to his hometown, but the royal family doesn't allow him to leave, so he can only stay in the Magic Pavilion.

Being leisurely, the little mute often observes other craftsmen's creations in the pavilion, and learns a lot from them.

Coincidentally, he thinks that the most useful thing he has learned is the "mystery" required by the royal family.

The royal family hoped that the utensils contained "mysteries", and the craftsmen worked hard on this "mystery", studying how to set up interlayers, add mechanisms, or make them detachable and reorganized.

The little mute tried to set the "mystery" on the weapon, but found a lot of surprises.

For example, adding organs to the bow-crossbow can make the crossbow-arrow shoot continuously.

For another example, adding a dark layer to a long sword can create a "sword within a sword".

The results of his experiments were discovered and appreciated by the royal family, but this appreciation was not because these weapons were "useful" but "interesting".

The royal family did not put those weapons into the army, but rewarded them as "exquisite playthings" to dignitaries.

After Daluan attacked Qiong, the royal family of Qiong Kingdom was destroyed, and most of the craftsmen in Huanji Pavilion fled in all directions during the war in the capital, but there were still dozens of people who failed to leave in time, and the little mute was one of them.

Qiongguo Huanji Pavilion has a long-standing reputation and has been heard of by other countries. Emperor Daluan was very curious about the skills of these craftsmen and ordered people to invite the remaining craftsmen to Daluan.

Emperor Daluan did not use "deposit" but "invitation" because he promised them that he would treat them and their relatives preferentially and "invite" them to settle in the capital of Daluan.

However, this kind of "invitation" is actually no different from "bet". Three points are lure, seven points are coercion, you have to go if you don't go, you have no choice.

Shui Jing first saw the little mute when Daluan soldiers sent the craftsmen to Daluan.
