Drunk lying on the setting sun for the king

At dusk in the northwest, the setting sun casts a bloody afterglow, reflecting a continuous maple forest, dyeing the world in bright red.Pieces of maple leaves are fluttering with the wind, more like a sea of ​​blood swaying gently, gorgeous and dazzling.

And among the maple trees, there is a small building hidden.The glazed blue tiles shimmer like water, and the copper bells on the corners of the eaves jingle, dotted with a touch of brilliant copper yellow in this red picture.

In front of the small building's carved wooden door, Hai Yingxing sat cross-legged on the steps, holding a wooden plank in one hand, and sharpening it with a small knife in the other hand.And beside him, stood a boy in blue, with a pair of peach blossom eyes curved like crescent moons, and a smile on his face.

After a while, the wooden board was cut into the shape of a sword.Hai Yingxing waved it, handed it to the boy, and said softly, "Okay, this is for you."

The boy took it excitedly, and ran around the courtyard happily, like a chick flying into the blue sky for the first time.He waved the wooden sword in his hand, and within a short while, the maple leaves on the lower branches were cut off one after another and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Hai Yingxing came to the boy's side, leaned over and stroked the top of his head, "This is not acceptable, Hai Jing, this sword is not used to cut off leaves, but to protect others."

Hai Jing looked back, confused, "Protection?"

"That's right." Hai Yingxing squatted down, put his hands on Hai Jing's shoulders, and looked suddenly solemn, "From now on, no matter what kind of sword you hold in your hand, you must swing it for protection, not for killing."

Hai Jing tilted his head, "But...if I don't defeat my opponent, how can it prove that I am strong enough?"

Hai Yingxing smiled slightly, "Little fool, a real strong man is not judged by how many lives he can take, but by how many lives he can protect. I will make you stronger, strong enough to protect everything It's important, and by then, you won't have to hurt anyone."

Hai Jing was stunned for a long while before she understood Hai Yingxing's words. She smiled, nodded repeatedly, and gently put her arms around Hai Yingxing's shoulders.With a gentle smile on Hai Yingxing's face, he hugged his young body and walked towards Lin Nei.

The maple leaves circled the sky like red clouds, and the red butterflies fluttered.In the bright red picture of the red leaves piled up, when the last leaf quietly fell to the ground, the figures of the two had disappeared in the depths of the maple forest, leaving no trace.

When Hai Jing woke up, the bright red curtains like maple leaves were reflected in her eyes, and when she looked down, it was Feng Xiangyue wearing a red dress, staring at herself worriedly.

"Are you awake?" Seeing Hai Jing's eyes open, Feng Xiangyue heaved a sigh of relief, held his hand for a while, and let it go immediately.

Hai Jing felt his head was still a little dizzy, and sat up while rubbing the center of his brows, "Well... I had a nostalgic dream..."

Seeing that he was unstable, Feng Xiangyue hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Really? About your father?"

Hai Jing nodded silently, held Feng Xiangyue's hand, and leaned lightly on his side, "I dreamed that when I was young, my father told me that the sword in my hand should be swung for protection, not to kill anyone."

As he said that, his fingers suddenly tightened, and his voice trembled slightly, "...But, I can't even protect him who taught me this sentence, I can only watch him become like that..."

Listening to these trembling words, and seeing this normally smiling person become so fragile, Feng Xiangyue felt an unusually heavy heart, caressing his shoulder, his movements felt full of pity.

But Hai Jing didn't shed tears, instead he smiled wryly, "Ji Qianhuan is right, maybe my father has really become my demon..."

Feng Xiangyue felt even more sorrowful in her heart, "Hai Jing, even so, you have already dispelled this demon and freed Hai Yingxing."

Hai Jing seemed to recall the previous situation, and sadness appeared in his eyes again, "I hope so... those bugs..." He paused, with disgust on his face, "Although I don't know the origin of those bugs, but now it seems that The mummies on Wulan Snow Mountain must have something to do with Zhu Lian Island."

When Feng Xiangyue heard it, the writhing figures of those bugs also appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but tremble.But seeing that Hai Jing's mood hadn't improved, he turned all his attention to Hai Jing again, with a deep worry unknowingly on his face.

Finding that Feng Xiangyue was worried, Hai Jing quickly smiled and patted his cheek, "Okay, I'm fine, don't worry. I should also thank you for stopping me. If I lose control and kill Wu Sixuan, at this time You will definitely regret it.”

The corner of Feng Xiangyue's mouth curled slightly, "Hmph, thank you, I just don't want to watch you do stupid things."

Seeing him returning to normal, Hai Jing couldn't help but laugh.Suddenly, his smile faded slightly, "Father... where are their corpses?"

"It's still in that cave, but when I took you out, the mechanism of the storage room closed itself. Do you want to try to open it?" Feng Xiangyue said in a low voice.

Hai Jing sighed softly, "No need, I observed it when I came here, the mechanism cannot be opened from the outside, let them sleep in the ground together..."

Feng Xiangyue let out a "hmm" and his expression suddenly turned cold, "But Wu Sixuan took the Zhuxin Sword away, and now all three divine swords are in their hands."

Hai Jing was also solemn for a moment, "Really? Let's go find Ji Qianhuan quickly, he should know something."

Unexpectedly, when Fang wanted to get out of bed, his body became limp, so he could only lean against the side of the bed again.Feng Xiangyue hurriedly helped him sit up, "Don't worry, it won't be too late for us to go after you recover."

Hai Jing reluctantly agreed and closed his eyes, "Yeah, now that I am like this, I can't do anything." His gaze focused on his palm, full of doubts, "After all, I can't even do anything for important people." Protection, how can you confidently say that you can solve the Zhu Lian Island matter."

Seeing Hai Jing's rare depression, Feng Xiangyue knew that he had doubts in his heart because of the deaths of Hai Yingxing and Mu Xiangling, so he couldn't help but sigh, "Hai Jing, people's abilities are limited, no matter how powerful they are. If you want to protect something, you must lose something. After all, people have to raise their swords to protect, but when they are stained with blood, they will suffer terribly."

As he spoke, he tilted his head, looked at one side of the wall, and seemed to see something more distant through that wall, "...But, you don't have to be deterred by this, as long as you don't hesitate Just move forward, I will take care of everything behind you, my hands are already stained with blood, it doesn’t matter if they get dirty again.”

Hai Jing was startled, only to feel that Feng Xiangyue's determination was like a ray of light, reflecting the road ahead for him.He never thought that there would be someone in the world who would be willing to use his body as a shield and carry all the filth, just to pave the way ahead for him. His heart was filled with mixed feelings for a moment, and he was almost moved to tears.

Pressing back the tears that were about to burst into her eyes, Hai Jing burst into a smile, as soft and cheerful as usual.He hugged Feng Xiangyue, and caressed the deliberately turned away cheek, "What are you talking about, you are not standing behind me, but beside me. What should be done next, I There will be no more hesitation, if there is really any sin, it will be borne by the two of us together, even if the blood on the hands leads to hell and the underworld, I will go with you."

After finishing speaking, Hai Jing held up Feng Xiangyue's hand and kissed him on his fingertips, "Xiangyue, you will never be alone."

This kiss seemed to turn into countless warm currents, traveling up the blood, pouring into Feng Xiangyue's heart.His eyes were red, his face was hot unconsciously, he hurriedly looked away, and his tone was annoyed and happy, "Stupid, stupid... what are you talking about."

The next moment, he felt his hands tighten, and his whole body was pulled into Hai Jing's arms.The familiar body temperature and breath came over his face, and he couldn't help but look up, and Hai Jing's magnified smile appeared in his eyes.

Then, a shallow kiss fell on the forehead, clean and affectionate.

Even though the two had hugged so many times, Feng Xiangyue's heart was still throbbing.He buried his head in Hai Jing's chest, he was too ashamed to lift his head, but his arms wrapped around Hai Jing's waist, tightening even more.

Hai Jing looked at his shy appearance, the haze in his heart gradually receded, and his smile became brighter.He stroked Feng Xiangyue's hair strand by strand, looked at the eye-catching red dress in his arms, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, your dress..."

Feng Xiangyue interrupted without raising her head: "I don't plan to wear it for a long time, I will change it right away."

"That's not what I mean, I just want to say, seeing you dressed like this, I can't help but want you to marry me in a red wedding dress." Hai Jing teased.

Hearing this, Feng Xiangyue pulled away abruptly, and patted his shoulder with a palm, "Good idea!"

Hai Jing chuckled, pinched the tip of Feng Xiangyue's nose, "That's right, in my imagination, you are really beautiful in your wedding dress."

Feng Xiangyue gritted her teeth, and threw him onto the bed, "Stop talking nonsense, give me a good rest, I have to hurry later, if it takes too long, I won't spare you!"

"I obey." Hai Jing responded again and again, seeing that Feng Xiangyue was about to leave, she grabbed his sleeve and pulled him down on the bed, "You are tired too, let's rest together."

Feng Xiangyue really felt tired, so she didn't refuse.The two closed their eyes facing each other, rested quietly, and did not get up to leave until several hours later.

Passing through the rotunda covered with bones, the two walked out of the gate and came to the top of the mountain filled with black mist.Since they came on a straight road, they headed out along the main road in front of them, but they walked for a long time and returned to the starting point.

Hai Jing looked left and right, and found five roads appeared in the thick fog, and couldn't help being surprised, "It's strange, when I came here, there was obviously only one road."

Feng Xiangyue was also full of surprise, secretly thinking that he didn't see other roads when he came up with Wu Sixuan.Hai Jing rubbed his chin and looked at it for a while, then finally pulled Feng Xiangyue back and said, "Let's choose a different path from just now and try again."
