[Comprehensive] living to death

What is the sky?

Many people have had this question.

What is the sky?Why, on the one hand, Tian Gang said that the king should be benevolent, and that countries should not invade each other, but on the other hand, God wants to choose a person who is not suitable to be the king, or when the king loses his way, God wants to punish the innocent Qilin?

For example, the former Qing Queen Shujue was timid about government affairs, and killed all the women in the palace because she fell in love with Jingtaifu; the former King Feng, Xiangqiong's father, firmly believed in eliminating evil and killing countless poor people.Why do these people become kings?

In the country of Dai, there was a villain who imprisoned the king of Thailand and wanted to kill Taiqi. Why didn't God immediately punish the murderer?

Long ago, this place was the place where the gods lived.He carefully arranged the system here, formulated a set of detailed rules, and observed what the state of the world would be like under the rules.When the rules fail, he will make adjustments.

Everything was perfect back then.

Later, the god was exiled and disappeared into the void, only the rules he wrote at the beginning are still running.But without the hand that adjusts the rules, the rules are just rigid rules; they can only realize the predetermined arrangements, but they cannot respond to changes in reality.

Yanqi once thought: Why must a country have a king?

When Jing Qi faced Yu Wang Shujue, he thought: Why should such a weak girl be the king?

General Li Zhai of the Dai Kingdom, when facing the rebellious officials and thieves, asked sadly and indignantly: Why doesn't the sky protect the real king and Qilin?

——Where is the sky, where is the Emperor of Heaven?

There is no sky, no god of heaven.In the Nine Heavens that mortals look up and imagine, there is no Bai Yujing for a long time.

This dilapidated world, after exiling the fallen gods, stumbled, drifted around, and continued to be broken, and finally divided into two parts: the "capital" where the Emperor of Heaven once lived was separated, and the rest merged into another world. Generate a brand new world.

The "capital" is attached to the world across the sea, becoming the reflection of that world.When people here drift past by accident, they will be corrected by the laws of the main world, and put a coat on these "shadows".And an existence like Qilin will appear as a phantom with an indeterminate figure.

This is... the truth of this world.

"It is said that there are three ultimate questions in life: who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going?"

Green bamboos sway in Cuihuang Palace, and there are waterfalls and cold pools in the depths of the forest. The water in the pools is dark green and reflects the blue sky.The triple waterfall falls, the blue current surges, and when it falls, it hangs into a snow-colored long practice with rumbling water.There is an open space not far from the cold pool, green and yellow bamboo leaves are intertwined on the open space, and a few stones are pressed on the bamboo leaves to surround it, and some dead branches and leaves are piled inside, faintly glowing with fire.

A burst of roasting aroma filled the bamboo forest.

Mingyue pulled the soil away with a branch, exposing the sweet potatoes buried underneath.The black and red skin split open, revealing the golden inside.

"My future..." Mingyue declared solemnly, "is in the roasted sweet potato."

"Eat yours." Itachi knocked her on the head, but he had already peeled a small sweet potato and handed it to her.Mingyue took a bite of the sweet potato, thinking that Itachi was so considerate and thoughtful, and at the same time stretched out her hand as a matter of course, asking him to pour a glass of water.

San Riyue, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was sitting on the side drinking tea, his smile and movements were so elegant that it made people ashamed; when he slightly raised his head, the golden tassels adorning his dark blue hair were only slightly shaking, but not messy at all.

"Does Sanriyue eat sweet potatoes?"

"Huh? Thank you Lord Mingyue for your kindness, but as a sword, it is my limit to be able to enjoy fragrant tea." The blue-haired young man looked at Itachi with a smile, "I also want to thank Your Excellency Itachi, no, thank you His Majesty the King Treat."

Itachi shook his head, indicating that it was nothing, then he looked at Sankaiyue with some probing eyes, and asked in thought: "Mr. Sankaiyue...is it really a sword?"

"Hahahaha, yes, yes, does His Majesty the King think it doesn't look like it? Well, I was actually surprised when I turned into a human. All this is thanks to Lord Mingyue."

Mingyue looked up from the sweet potato: "Sounds like complaining?"

"Oh? I never meant that. It's just that when I woke up and was told it was over, no matter how I thought about it, I felt a little regretful."

"So that's how it is." Itachi said, "I used Mr. Mikazuki without knowing it. I'm sorry."

Sanriyue smiled wryly. "Your Majesty is too polite." He sighed with a smile, "Whether it is by the side of Lord Mingyue or by His Majesty, it is a very wonderful and unforgettable experience for me. For Dao, being able to play It is the greatest honor to fight side by side with your own power."

"Itachi, Sankaiyue likes you very much."

"I also like Lord Mingyue very much."

Itachi smiled.He is born with a lonely and cold personality, and the temperament of this cold pond and bamboo forest is also naturally cool and dusty, but now I don't know if the smoke and fire of roasted sweet potatoes have destroyed the beauty of this tranquility, anyway, when there is a smile on his lips, he is dark. There was nothing but warmth in his eyes.

He asked Mingyue: "Where do you plan to go in the future?"

"There are still many things to do." Mingyue finished eating a sweet potato, clapped her hands and began to peel off one, "I took a lot of the world's core power before, some of these powers are with me, and some are still with Orwell. Go back to the Endless Temple first, and then start to return the cores one by one world next to each other, otherwise these worlds will soon be GG."

Although this "quick" unit is calculated in millennia.

"There are still some favors owed from the past... A few days ago, didn't a tour group suddenly come to the palace, three men and one girl, and the one with a group of white pets."

"Those who caused the Custodians to dispatch? I remember you gave them a feather."

"Well, that's the memory of that little girl. When I was not strong enough, I made a deal with them. I helped them once, and they lent me the feather for a while. It was the feather that strengthened the power of Sanriyue."

Mingyue handed the peeled sweet potato to Itachi: "Eat it while it's hot."

King Gong took the sweet potato and gnawed it seriously.

"Although Master Mingyue said that you can lend me strength, but as a sword, you must have the pride of a sword." San Riyue took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I decided to go back to my own time, to return to Master Zongjin, to witness my true self. History to be witnessed."

"It was a pleasure spending time with both of you."

"I will accumulate my own strength through the passage of time. At that time, Master Mingyue, Your Excellency Itachi, I hope we can meet again."

The young man with blue hair and fine attire gently put down his teacup, his eyes like the dawn sky finally bent.

"Farewell, both of you."

"Goodbye, Sanriyue, I hope that when we meet next time, you have learned to tidy up the bits and pieces of gorgeous decorations on your body."

"Oh, that's a bit embarrassing for me..."

The elf born from the sword stood up, and her gorgeous figure gradually disappeared into the swaying bamboo forest.A few bamboo leaves fell slowly, covering the land he had just existed.

Mingyue looked down at her empty waist, but she did not see the long knife that accompanied her all the time.She couldn't help but let out a breath and said, "No matter how many times you have experienced parting, you will still feel a little lonely."

"Itachi, do you really want to stay here?"

After eating the roasted sweet potatoes, the black-haired young man was washing his hands with a little water in a bamboo tube, and skillfully used the fire to dry the water droplets on his hands when he was done.After finishing all this, he can pat someone who is still a unicorn for the time being, and say, "This is already my country."

"But, you're here alone..." Mingyue was as worried as an old woman, and urged him unwillingly, "Why don't you travel with me?"

"Qiaoguo can't lose the king yet." Itachi shook his head, his tone calm and determined, "Not only the ordinary people, but also the officials I entrusted with important responsibilities. I promised them that Qiaoguo would be revived, and that's what I must do Or, Mingyue, you don't believe me?"

"Don't dare." Mingyue hugged her head depressedly, "It's a pity that I thought very well at the beginning, thinking that I could drag you along when things were settled, but I ignored your super serious and responsible personality..."

"Mingyue, I also have my own ideas."

"I know, your expression is so serious, obviously I have never had the hobby of making choices for others." Mingyue laughed, "Well, I will come back to see you every year. Wait for the day when you feel that the responsibility of being king has been fulfilled, You can leave now, please tell me."

"If there is such a day."

It was clear from his bland look and tone that he didn't think that day would come—at least not anytime soon.

That's right, the celestial framework is slowly failing, and there will even be no celestial constraints in the future; the changes in the world will be turned upside down.How do you say that?The golden scale is not a thing in the pool, it will transform into a dragon when encountering a storm.A man like him, whose goal is peace, always seems to thrive in a world of turmoil.There are always many contradictions in the affairs of the world, but it is precisely because of the existence of various contradictions that there is room for human beings to strive hard, and countless wonderful and even great achievements are born from this kind of hard work.

"I really like this wonderful world very much, and I also like wonderful humans very much." Mingyue thought for a while and corrected, "No, I am also a human being, so I like all this as a human being."

"So I must return what I took away. All those worlds, all those people, at least don't be destroyed because of me."

"I have already returned the power here." She carefully calculated, "The order is released, and the female monster has her own will because of the invalidation of the tiangu. She no longer regards taking care of the unicorn as the meaning of life... er, the meaning of being a monster The remaining part of the power is injected into the outline to delay the expiration date of the rules, so as to allow enough reaction time."

"Mingyue," Itachi asked suddenly, "after you return all your power, what will happen to you?"

"Me?" Mingyue thought for a while, "I will become an ordinary human, just like when I was first born."

"Shards of the sun god's godhead...?"

"Give it back to Orwell." Mingyue smiled, with a little pride in her eyes, "I never coveted his power, or the power of other gods. I never wanted to be a god, I just wanted to be a human being."

There are spring and autumn, life and death, laughter and tears, both humble and great——

Humanity.

She stretched and put an arm around Itachi's shoulders. "Don't worry, Your Majesty the King." She giggled, "That day will take a long time for me. I promise to come back to see you, until you don't want to see me."

"We all have to work hard on our own paths. Not only for the people around us, for ourselves, but also for..."

"—Meet you next time."

——Your Majesty, Da Sikou said that there is an urgent report!

"Being king is really not easy." Mingyue said with a deep face, "so you must eat well, take care of yourself, and avoid staying up late. If I see a Uchiha · Mediterranean · Itachi in 50 years, I will definitely be confused forced."

The young man whose appearance was still at the age of 21 found it difficult to imagine that scene, but was amused by her expression.

He looked at her, and then turned to look at the waterfall in the bamboo forest.The spring water fell from the sky, and when it passed through the Cuihuang Palace, it was reflected in pure emerald green, so his entire field of vision was filled with shades of green, and even the blue sky above his head seemed to have a layer of clear green shadows.The large expanse of green sometimes reminds him of Konoha—his hometown, the valley he loved so much; but more and more often, he just thinks of Cuihuang Palace itself, Qiaoguo, his present and future Responsibility.

This is his way, his life.

Itachi walked in the direction of the front hall along the path he had come from.Bamboo leaves pave his way quietly, and the delicate sounds in the wind are so pleasant and real.

"Taking advantage of the last few days, let's finally fulfill your duties, Yu Taifu."

The black sleeves brushed the green bamboo; his figure was straight, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and there was a faint smile.

"Then, I wish you the best of luck."
