In the dream, for a while, the world was first opened, the five gods created the world, for a while, it was tribal disputes, dynasties changed, for a while, singing and dancing rose to peace, and for a while, wars were everywhere.

Clouds in the sky, wind in the forest.

There is fog on the top of the mountain, and the tip of the grass is exposed.

He doesn't know where he is, but he seems to be everywhere. He seems to be floating in the torrent of history, but he seems to be out of it.

Countless pavilions rose from the ground and collapsed, countless plants took root and withered, and countless people fell to the ground and died forever.

For a moment the baby cried, and for a moment the head turned white.

For thousands of years, it goes round and round.

……

The candles in the house flickered quietly, but the night outside the house had quietly faded into dark gray.

There was a trace of moisture in the wind that leaked in obliquely, and there was a tick-tock sound from under the eaves.

I don't know when it rained at night, and it came and went in a hurry, as if it wanted to clean up all the mountains, rivers, trees, palaces and buildings while people were asleep, so that there would be no traces of the past.

The chaotic picture in front of Shui Jing gradually faded away, and the clarity in his mind gradually recovered, and everything in his vision gradually became clearer.

He still supported his forehead with his elbows on the case, and he was stunned for a long time before he remembered where he was.

The cups, bowls and chopsticks on the table have been cleaned up, only the picture book is left in front of me.

Shui Jing stretched out his hand to put it into his bosom, thinking that Jie Wuyi had probably fallen asleep, so he looked up at the bed, only to find that the bedding was neatly spread and there was no sign of it being moved at all.

Shui Jing turned her head and looked around, but she couldn't see anyone, so she stood up on the ground and walked outside the house.

Opening the door of the house, the moist cool wind came in after the rain. Although it had already dawned, the sky was still a bit gloomy, and the dark clouds gathered together, as if the rain last night hadn't finished to its fullest, and another one was brewing.

Shui Jing looked into the courtyard, and at a glance, he saw Zhi Zhi Wuyi's back standing with his hands behind his back, his clothes were gently blown by the morning wind, his back was straight, his head was raised slightly, and he didn't know where to look.

The Yu Palace in the early morning was very quiet, except for the sound of water droplets falling from the eaves and splashing on the ground, there was no movement at all.

Shui Jing walked towards the place where Xie Wuyi stood, and after walking for a while, he vaguely noticed that the color of Xie Wuyi's clothes was a bit wrong, it seemed much darker than usual, as if he had been soaked in water.After walking another two steps, he realized that not only his clothes, but even his hair seemed wet after washing, and there were even a few tiny drops of water on the tip of his hair.

Shui Jing couldn't help wondering, was it raining?

He quickened his pace a few steps to get behind Xie Wuji, reached out and grabbed his sleeves, and finally confirmed that the clothes were completely wet, he couldn't help but frowned and asked, "You stood outside all night?"

Xie Wuyi didn't answer, but moved his arm and pulled his sleeve out of Shui Jing's hand.

Shui Jing was stunned, his empty hand was still hanging there, he didn't know what he meant.

Before he came back to his senses, he heard Xie Wuyi say in a deep voice: "The national teacher said that the master knows everything after drinking, and he can't deceive me."

I don't know if it's because of the sleepless night and the rain, Xie Wuyi's voice is a little hoarse at this time, and there seems to be a trace of suppressed sullenness in his tone.

Shui Jing was a little confused for a moment, not knowing where his inexplicable anger came from.

Xie Wuyi turned his head, only then did Shui Jing realize that his eye sockets were reddish, a few strands of rain-wet hair stuck to his forehead, his lips were a little pale, and there was an undisguised disappointment and exhaustion on his face.

Shui Jing's heart twitched, and she subconsciously raised her hand to brush away the broken hair for him, but before she could touch him, Jie Wuyi already turned her head to the side to avoid his fingers, her face was as cold as water He asked coldly, "Master, do you know what I said last night?"

Shui Jing couldn't help but froze in place.

In Shui Jing's impression, although Xie Wuyi's attitude towards him was not as respectful and obedient as ordinary disciples towards their master, it was at least as gentle and humble as towards a brother and friend.

Not to mention the past few years, even in the past six months, Shui Jing felt that he was avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally, but she had never seen him speak to her with such an attitude and tone.

Naturally, he couldn't remember what he said last night, and he didn't even remember whether he had spoken or not.

Even if he did, what could he say?It's nothing more than what I've seen and heard over the past 1000 years, but why do those innocuous things make me so unhappy?

Shui Jing couldn't think of a reason for the moment, but Xie Wuyi's eyes like ice picks kept chasing him, which made him feel a little uneasy.

He had never been so uncomfortable before, so he could only force himself to calmly ask softly: "What did I say?"

Xie Wuyi sneered very shallowly, squinted his eyes and said, "Master took a new law from the national teacher back then, but do you still remember where you took it?"

Shui Jing's breath stagnates, and he suddenly thinks of the "Dayu New Law" that Yun He put on the bedside, which is covered with densely packed small vermilion characters, and his heart skips a beat.

Several government orders that Daluan has implemented in the past few years can be found in the new law. If it is said that it has nothing to do with the new law, even Shui Jing will not believe it.

Shui Jing opened his mouth, he wanted to say that he didn't intend to bring the new law to Yun He, but accidentally left it in Luan Palace, but he felt that this explanation was very weak.

Now that the deal is done, does it matter whether it was intentional or not?

Shui Jing is not the kind of person who would find excuses to shirk responsibility, he closed his mouth and drooped his eyes for a moment of silence, then raised his eyes and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I..."

"I haven't finished yet." Xie Wuyi interrupted forcefully.

Shui Jing was caught off guard by him, so he could only swallow the rest of the words.

Xie Wuyi looked at Shui Jing's unprepared appearance, did not move at all, turned his head to look forward indifferently, and said: "In the year of An Yuguan, my father called me back to Beijing because of illness, and my master went back to the palace to inquire about my father's condition. , how did you tell me when you went back?"

The water mirror is like falling into an ice cave.

This time, he didn't even have a chance to argue that he didn't mean it.

He was the one who offered to go back to the palace to inquire about Xie Wuyi, and he was the one who concealed the false illness of the king.He once firmly told Xie Wuyi that the Lord of the Kingdom was indeed ill. In order to make Xie Wuyi completely believe it, he even made up an etiology of "occasional cold and overworked writing" in a decent way.

Shui Jing was speechless to refute, and Xie Wuyi looked ahead without saying a word. The two just stood in the courtyard, silent in the moist and cool morning breeze after the rain.

After an unknown amount of time, Shui Jing decided to break the silence. Although he didn't know what to say, he couldn't just admit his mistake or apologize.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to speak, Xie Wuyi said calmly: "Now that the emperor is bedridden, and the country's government affairs are heavy, I have no time to spare time to practice swords, and Master doesn't need to trap himself in this palace anymore."

Shui Jing's pupils shrank suddenly, and her heart sank suddenly, she could hardly believe the meaning of the words: "Are you... driving me away?"

Xie Wuyi seemed to be pouring out the emotions he had borne for a long time, and said without hesitation: "Before, Master extinguished my candle every night to interfere with my government affairs. I couldn't bear to blame it because of Master's affection. Now I might as well tell Master. There is no need for Master to intervene in my affairs."

He seemed to think that he didn't speak clearly enough, so he turned his head suddenly: "Besides, I can't rub the sand in my eyes, and I can't tolerate a person who has repeatedly lied to me to stay by my side. Master has been kind to me, and I don't want to." I won’t say anything about being disrespectful to Master and expelling him, and I ask Master not to make things difficult for me.”

Shui Jing watched his thin lips open and close, her ears buzzed like a buzzer, she felt that every sentence was like a stab, every word was like a knife, and it hurt her heart.

But Xie Wuyi didn't give him any chance to react at all, he just strode out of the court wearing his wet clothes and his hair still dripping.

Shui Jing hurriedly raised her hand, full of urgency but unable to speak, she could only stand there in a daze and watch his back gradually drift away until she was completely out of sight, then slowly curled up her fingers, unable to hang them down.

He hardly knew how he left Yu Palace, nor when he left Yujing.

He has always boasted that he has a clear mind. No matter how complicated the situation is, how complicated the troubles are, he can quickly find the thread in the mess and then peel it off.

But now, he felt that his mind was muddled, as if it was filled with paste, and he couldn't think at all.

From Qiguo to Daluan, from Daluan to Sangdi, and then to Qiongjing, Baihe, and Lanzhao.

Shui Jing wanted to find a secluded place to rest for a while, to calm down and think carefully, but found that although the world was big, there was never a place for him.

No door is opened for him, no lamp is left for him.

For the first time in more than 1000 years, he realized that he seemed to have never belonged to this world, and the only relationship he had with this world was all tied to Yudu. No sand" person.

And those words and sentences that linger in Shui Jing's ears for a long time are like sharp blades trying to cut off these entanglements.

This never-before-seen pain rampaged through Shui Jing's heart, tearing and gnawing fiercely, almost ravaging his breathing to pieces.

Shui Jing tightly clenched the skirt of his chest, frowned and gritted his teeth, hoping that it would calm down a little bit, but it was of no avail anyway.

He looked up at the sky, then flew straight up to the clouds, and headed north regardless.

There is no shelter in the world, but fortunately there is still a place outside the world at the end of the North Sea.He has never been so eager to return to Four Seasons Mountain as he is now, and he has never clearly realized that it is the only "home" that belongs to him in this world.

Flying over the mountains on the border of the world, flying over the blue waters of the vast North Sea, flying over the towering peaks covered with snow, Shui Jing finally returned to the isolated Four Seasons Mountain.

It was snowing heavily at the foot of the mountain, covered in silver, and the moment he saw the wooden house in the snow, Shui Jing suddenly remembered the glass ball he had brought to Xie Wuyi, and remembered that he had promised to take him to the end of the North Sea to see the snow scene, and his heart was throbbing again. .

He took a deep breath, took off the jade pendant around his waist, and threw it into the jade broken lake.The moment the jade pendant entered the water and turned into a fish, the four mountain peaks around the lake suddenly changed.
