The Book on the Pillow: The Sea and Moonlight

Although Jiangnan is good, it cannot wait any longer.This time Luoxia Mountain and his party finally revealed their Xingzang, those little children will definitely say something when they go back, and staying here for a few months should be enough.

So one morning, the neighbors in the neighborhood discovered that the yard where the "Bai Gongzi" family stayed was empty and disappeared.Those seven aunts and eight aunts who always found various reasons to spy on the door had to turn back in front of the closed door, and the chat after tea, after ten days and a half months, it faded away.On the contrary, the schoolmates are very disappointed. The boy lost his leader and the boss lost his backbone, and the girl lost her gift object and her fingers became soft. The master shook his head and sighed. .

Gun Gun took the time to bid farewell to Little Flower Spirit. The little thing didn't quite understand the meaning of the parting, but his mood was a little depressed. He folded a flower and gave it to Gun Gun as a souvenir.Gun Gun wouldn't take it away, and at his young age of more than 1000 years, he also knew that some things don't have to be forced.Xuan San didn't need to worry, it was a well-informed trumpet flower, hugged its billowing legs and cried for a while, and said that it would look for him when it grew up.Just keep laughing and let it go.

As for where to go next, the little fox points to the north, the little fox guides, and with the support of the little fox's husband, it is conceivable that the last lost one must be the little fox.

However, the mother was soft-hearted in the end, and promised Gun Gun a chance to let him throw back the veil, and they would go wherever the veil went.

Rolling up the handkerchief, looking at mother and father, he thought, Jiujiu, what kind of fantasy do you have for father!He murmured that it was fine.

Sure enough, the corners of my father's brows were raised slightly, as if to say that he was still aware of current affairs.

Donghua thought the car was slow, so he drove Duoyun with his wife and children to the north.

The scenery in the north is different from that in the south of the Yangtze River. The further north you go, the magnificent and vast roughness gradually replaces the gracefulness of the slanting wind and drizzle. The clothes of the people are not as exquisite as those in the south of the Yangtze River. It seemed empty and lonely.

Gun Gun chatted with Feng Jiu on the top of the cloud: "Jiu Jiu, look, that mountain village is a bit like the place we lived in before, but it's much more desolate here, and the mountain looks very barren."

Feng Jiu looked at the place Gun Gun pointed at but didn't think much of it, there are so many remote areas in the world, they all look similar.

Speaking of which, she didn't think much of those mortal worlds these years.Before that, she went to the mortal world to experience and play, but that time it was to escape.Going from one place to another was a bit of a struggle, but it was a lot of fun with the company.But when she thought that the premise of these fun was her misunderstanding with Donghua, it was difficult for her to arouse her interest in reliving those pasts.Whether it is right or wrong, whether it is sad or joyful, since it has gone with the wind, there is no need to mention it again.

She was afraid that Donghua would get hurt again, so she hurriedly changed the topic: "I don't think it looks like it. Hey, it looks like a big town over there!"

Passing a city below Yuntou, the squares are very regular, the streets are criss-crossed, very imposing, and there are a lot of people's voices in several places, which is indeed much more lively.

Seeing this, Fengjiu thought of Chengyu Kingdom, the place where she and Donghua had many entanglements.She and Wang Jun also walked on such a street. At that time, she felt that it would be a pleasure to have this lover for a lifetime, but she was reminded of her mission as a robber by Si Ming, and she had to hurt the king time and time again. Your heart.It was the first time she entered the mortal world when she was physically and mentally exhausted. After returning to the fairy world, Donghua didn't remember what happened at that time, but it seemed that she was depressed and lonely.She didn't know if it was right or wrong to do this, anyway, it's all over, and Chengyu Kingdom has already become the sand between her fingers.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Donghua followed her gaze and saw that it was a bustling capital city, so he asked, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

Feng Jiushang was too immersed in the memory to react, Gun Gun had already pulled her sleeve and pleaded: "Go Jiujiu, it's quite lively down here!" After drifting with the clouds for half a day, although it was leisurely, it also lost a lot of fun.

After a while, the three of them appeared in the bustling market.

The capital of Northern Yan Kingdom, Chongyuan.

As the famous city of Chongyuan with "Northern Country Jiangnan", this place is indeed different from other northern cities.The steep and steep Shaoyang Mountain in the north of the city is a natural barrier, which not only weakens the north wind blowing from the north, but also prevents the neighboring countries from the north from staring at it; a Chongyuan River runs across the city from west to east, so that the people here have enough The source of water is convenient for farming outside the city.As a hub connecting east, west, north and south, the land and waterways here are very prosperous, and all kinds of goods from north and south are available here.

Donghua walked with Feng Jiu and Gun Gun very slowly, and both mother and son had to go and see every stall just to say goodbye to him.

Seeing his father looking kindly at his mother, Gun Gun suddenly felt that the opportunity had come, the little fox wagged his tail and dragged his mother from one street to another. The food and play were delicious and novel, useful and useless. pile.

Feng Jiushang remembered to appease her husband, and handed over a noodle man for a while, picked up a candied fruit for him to taste, and stuffed a bunch of candied haws for him, and secretly whispered to him: "Eat it first, and I'll give it to you when I get home." Be a sugar fox!"

Although Donghua carried his hands full of things, he felt that it was very ironic.

After walking for most of the day, the mother and father are still tireless.This section of the road was quieter than before, Donghua took the opportunity to put away the "fruits of battle" in his hands, stopped for a while, and watched the two little foxes hop to the shop across the street to buy food.

Along the way, his eyes were only on his wife and children, but he didn't know that the three of them in his line were also scenery in the eyes of others.For example, at this moment, although he covered himself and his rolling hair, and his clothes were not gorgeous, but with only his white clothes and outstanding figure, he had created a barrier between himself and his surroundings.The young man in white stood calmly in a corner, with his hairpin and jade clothes fluttering lightly, which made passers-by involuntarily slow down their steps, not to mention that when his unwavering gaze swept over, his detached detachment made people feel awe.He seems to be a firm rock in a turbulent river, even the sound and light can only become flowing water walking around the rock.

"Excuse me, are you the elder from Shouyang Palace?" A hesitant voice came from behind.

Donghua looked back slightly, and saw that a man in official uniform was saluting to him. Behind the man was a group of guards. Although they were respectful, they seemed to come in a hurry, and they didn't even catch their breath.

"No." Donghua has never had a hobby of meddling in other people's affairs, so he directly denied it.

The man showed regret, and explained: "I saw that the young master has an extraordinary bearing. I thought it was the fairy elder from Shouyang Palace. What a disturbance, what a disturbance!" After finishing speaking, he took two steps back and looked around. Go behind Donghua.

It was only then that Donghua noticed that there was a Taoist temple behind him, and the Taoist priest that the man was looking for was probably in the temple.

Feng Jiu and Gun Gun on the opposite side were probably confused. They tasted this and that, looked at their left hand, then at their right hand, and finally decided to pack a portion of them all.The young man surrounded the two of them very attentively, while tying up the package with his hands and feet, he recommended the new products in the store.

Seeing the two little foxes buried in it, Donghua shook his head and planned to fish them out.

There was another sound of footsteps behind him.A familiar voice followed: "So, I have to trouble my lord to lead the way!...Hey, isn't this Mr. Bai! Mr. Bai!"

Donghua paused for a while before realizing that the "Bai Gongzi" was calling himself. He turned around and saw that there were two more Taoist priests in the team of officers and soldiers who had just entered, and it was the little Taoist priest Mo Wen and his elder brother again.He couldn't help thinking, what kind of fate is this!

The little Taoist Mo Wen came forward to greet him very warmly: "Mr. Bai, why are you here?"

"We're here to play." Feng Jiu and Gun Gun were coming over with their hands full of things, and others would naturally understand who he was referring to by "we" when they saw it.

"Your journey is quite fast, and my brother and I have just arrived."

The little Taoist said inadvertently, but Donghua couldn't tell him that it was because they were driving the clouds, so he said: "You are not slow."

"That's because we used Master's magic weapon this time..." The little Taoist blurted out, feeling as if he had said too much, and changed his words, "This time we have something important to do. Speaking of it, Mr. Bai is very capable." , you can go with us..."

A cough interrupted his conversation, and the helplessness on the senior brother's face was very familiar.

The officials who were walking with them on the side were puzzled: "Shangfeng only asked the lower officials to welcome the two Taoist priests, and did not say that there were others." Obviously, he does not have the authority to expand such authority casually.

Donghua took the large and small parcels from Feng Jiu's hands, nodded to Mo Wen and his party, and said, "If that's the case, don't bother the business officials, just leave now!"

Mo Wen looked at the family of three leaving, feeling deeply regretful, he said to the elder brother: "Senior brother, Mr. Bai and his wife are very good, this time the master only sent me two to come first, master They won't arrive until later, it's not a bad thing to have Mr. Bai and them help!"

The elder brother hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "After all, we don't know their details! Besides, it's not up to us." He glanced at the official, motioned Mo Wen not to talk, and walked towards Miyagi with the team of officers and soldiers. go.

Because Feng Jiu and Gun Gun You were still enjoying themselves, the three of them found a secluded inn and stayed in the city for a few days.The bustling streets are full of singing and dancing, and merchants from north and south are bustling, which really lives up to the name of Jiangnan.

On the last day, they met a group of soldiers at the north entrance of the city, carrying supplies and supplies, as if they were going to the northern border. Upon closer inspection, the faces of the old and the young, the young and the old, were heavy. They did not see the mighty aura of the conquerors, but they were a little depressed. .

The surrounding people were rarely silent, and some people in the crowd sighed softly.

From whispers, Donghua and the others learned that Northern Yan State and Yuzhi State were engaged in a diplomatic war at Yaoguan in the north of Shaoyang Mountain.The Yuzhi Kingdom is a nomadic tribe, and they have always been at odds with the Northern Yan Kingdom. In the past, they only came here for two or three months every year to plunder some money and food, but the Northern Yan Kingdom didn't take it seriously.For some reason this year, the Yuzhi Kingdom is coming in a menacing manner, and it is quite difficult to deal with. The Northern Yan Kingdom has assembled troops from all over the country and sent troops to the border three times, all of which were defeated. Troops go.However, the strength of the people gradually weakened after several conquests, and some families went to the battlefield for three generations. Lonely, widowed, women and children were seen off by the roadside, and there were endless voices of mourning.

Wars have always been like this. For ordinary people, they have no ability to resist, but they are struggling to survive in the torrent with all their strength.

As the co-lord of heaven and earth who has fought for hundreds of thousands of years, Donghua is naturally very aware of the price paid behind each battle. The glory belongs to the winner, but if he loses his life, all glory is vain!

Donghua's eyes darkened slightly. Seeing Feng Jiu staring at the group of soldiers silently, he somehow thought of what she said on Chengtiantai with her chest puffed up: "...the strong are born to protect the weak. If I don't If I save them, I will become weak, so what qualifications do I have to protect my subjects."

His Xiaobai is definitely not a king who ignores the people, but the mortal world is not Qingqiu, the disputes of the country and the disappearance of lives are just insignificant grains of quicksand, and immortals cannot intervene.He took Feng Jiu's hand and shook it.

Until the group of soldiers walked away, the surrounding air finally began to flow again.Crowds have their own way of repairing their wounds, either rising up or forgetting.

All the way to the north, away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, even the wind is bleak.

Seeing that Feng Jiu was still in a low mood, Donghua comforted him and said, "It's always been like this, Xiaobai, there's no need to be like this."

"Why is there a war?"

"Everyone has his own way, and the way is different. Whether you are fighting with others, fighting with the country, or fighting with the clan, there is no exception in the six realms."

"Is this also the way of heaven?"

"The way of heaven is the origin of all things. The way of heaven is invisible, and the way of heaven is also permanent. It is different from the way of each person."

"What else is there beyond the Dao of Heaven?"

"Unsolved. I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I just live in this mountain."

Feng Jiu sighed lightly: "If you think about it carefully, the six realms are all in the way of heaven, and there is no difference between the heavenly race, the demon race, the human race, the demon race, and the ghost race. There is absolutely no need to think so highly of yourself."

Donghua said: "I have a lot of emotions today, but my mood has improved!"

Feng Jiu relaxed, stretched her waist and said, "It's just a feeling in my heart. Thinking about it this way, we are quite lucky!" She didn't elaborate, but stretched her hand into Donghua's palm and clenched it tightly.

After crossing the top of Shaoyang Mountain, the sky and the earth in front of it are high and wide, and an official road extends to the distance. The weeds on both sides are blown down by the wind, and the few crows make it even more scattered. It is like two worlds with the other side of the mountain.

Looking at the thin sun, Feng Jiu was just about to say a few gossips to ease the atmosphere when she suddenly felt something.

As far as the eye can see, there is a faint smoke rising.A fluctuation of a spell suddenly came, who practiced it in the mortal world?She turned her head to look at Donghua, and saw that his eyes were also somewhat solemn.
