The Book on the Pillow: The Sea and Moonlight

Another half month passed.

On this day, Gun Gun came to the bamboo building with the soup his mother made for his father.The bamboo grove is quiet, the bamboo building is quiet and elegant, father and mother do not like to be served by others, and no one comes near them on weekdays.

Today he came a little earlier, hesitated for a moment at the door, thought about taking it directly to his father, mother thought it was so cold, but lost her taste.

Turning up to the second floor, he saw the brilliance of the technique reflected in the room of his father and mother, but he didn't think much about it. Recently, Donghua was practicing his skills and breathing at this time, and he probably came early, so his father hadn't finished yet.But before he walked a few steps, he saw the purple magic light suddenly flashing a few times, and a sound came from the room.

Gun Gun walked a few steps over, and saw Donghua covering his chest with one hand, propping up on the table with the other, bending his body slightly and frowning forbearance, a few drops of red-golden blood fell on the ground in front of him.

The bowl in Xiaotuanzi's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he ran straight to Donghua in fright, calling out in a trembling voice, "Father, Father, what's wrong with you?" Want to go out, "I, I'm going to ask God Zheyan to come!"

Donghua's hoarse voice came from behind: "Don't, don't go..." He panted a few more times and said, "Don't go, roll, Zheyan, I have seen it for my father, it's okay, it will be fine after a while!"

After a while, Donghua's frowning brows relaxed again, and his face relaxed a lot. Seeing Gun Gun's anxious face, he comforted him and said: "Gun Gun, my father was slightly injured when he was in the mortal world, so my mother didn't give up. Bring us to Qingqiu for recuperation. Father takes medicine every day, nothing serious, don't be nervous!" He rubbed his head again and said, "You don't need to tell mother what happened today!"

"But..." Gun Gun inexplicably felt that it would be inappropriate not to tell his mother.

"Your mother is here to work on official business, so don't let her worry!" Seeing his hesitation, Donghua said again, "If you are worried, you can go to Zheyan's tomorrow to get some medicine for my father. Do you have any questions?" He is!"

Xiaotuanzi took Donghua's hand, carefully looked at his father's face, and said worriedly: "I will definitely go to God Zheyan! From now on, I will leave my father's medicine to Gungun! Father, what do you have?" If you feel uncomfortable, even if you don't tell mother, you must tell Gun Gun!"

Gun Gun's serious appearance made Donghua a little emotional. At this time, Xiaotuanzi's eyes looked like his mother's, and he suddenly felt like his son had grown up.

"Okay." He nodded.

Sure enough, Gun Gun went to Zheyan's place to ask for proof, and the statement he got was similar to Donghua's, so he didn't bother with it any more. Instead, he pestered Zheyan and asked a lot about the points and taboos of taking decoction and medicine, and he specially sorted out a jade talisman , can be said to be careless.

Every day, he still does his best to send the food cooked by his mother, but he puts more energy on taking care of his father, serving tea and pouring water, decocting medicine and delivering medicine around his father, coaxing the old god to be very happy.

Donghua was happy, but Gun Gun became more and more worried.Over the past few days, I have been with my father for a long time, only to realize that he is obviously not very happy for a while every day. Although he only closes his eyes and does not speak, but looking at that pale face and tightly furrowed eyebrows, there must be nothing on the surface. Go so breezy.At this time, Gun Gun came to his senses, he could not blame his father for his poor appetite, and he could not blame his father for not going out much recently.He was a little annoyed that he was too careless before, that his father, lord and mother didn't let him know about some things, so he really didn't notice.He was also worried about whether his mother knew about it. Although he promised his father not to tell his mother, he always felt that his father's temperament would not make his mother worry about him.

After thinking about it, Xiaotuanzi Gungun had something on his mind.He thought, since mother has official business to do, and father doesn't want mother to know, then he has to find a way to do something.

Another day, friends from the old school came to find Gun Gun to play.Having not seen each other for hundreds of years, they have all grown up quite a bit.

Gun Gun didn't want to go at all, but Donghua looked at him and said, "Gun Gun, since you have nothing to do, go! Children always have to go out to play, and always do what their father does!" Seeing Gun Gun bowed his head and said nothing, he knew he was worried He also said, "Father, it doesn't matter here."

Gun Gun went out with his little friend with a heavy heart.Seeing that he was not in high spirits, the people in the company tried every means to make him happy.They told all the old news about Qingqiu for so many years, and they didn't know how to talk about the rare grass in Qingqiu. They said that not long ago, someone discovered Yuzhen grass on Yuze Mountain. It is said that this kind of grass is a rare healing agent. The holy product of nourishing qi is also of great benefit to gods.Although most of the people in Qingqiu are peaceful, there are also those who are competitive. Even if they don't use it themselves, they can get a lot of benefits from other walks of life, so people flock to Yuze Mountain to hunt for treasures.

Gun Gun was taken aback.He was worrying about his father's injury, but he didn't expect to get such news.He recalled the books he read in his father's study in the past, and there was indeed something like "Jade True Grass".It is said in the book, "There is Cao Yuzhen, which lives in the shade of the mountains. The leaves grow long and the seeds are white, and they are tall and full-inch. They appear in the sun and hide in the sunset. Take the seeds, use the leaf juice as a guide, and take it together with the Chihuo Mingyu Pill. It has miraculous effects in healing." But most of this grass does not grow in Qingqiu, but it is more common in Beihuang, which is different from the book.But if it's real jade grass, maybe Yu's father's injury really has an effect.

Thinking of this, Gun Gun suggested, "Why don't we go and have a look at Yuzhen Grass!" The others thought that Yuze Mountain is not far away anyway, so it's nothing to look at, so they agreed.Several half-sized children went to Yuze Mountain together.

Entering the mountain, as my companion said, there are many people who go to find grass.

Gun Gun frowned and looked at the passing merchants on the road and the weeds on the side of the road that were almost trampled to pieces. He felt that these people were messing around. If there were so many rare and rare grasses gathered in crowded places, they would have been taken away long ago. Well, why wait until now!

He looked at the sun, observed the direction, and chose a road to the north to the shade of the mountain.He thought, although the real jade grass should be born in the northern wilderness, but if there are also green hills, the characteristic of "living in the shade of mountains" can't be wrong.

Others have always followed the lead of the horse, and this time there is no objection.

There is only one road to Shanyin. At the beginning, the road was three or four people wide, with occasional carriages and horses passing by.The children were only doing an outing, talking and laughing while picking wild fruits on the roadside.Only Gun Gun was in a hurry to hurry, but it was inconvenient to say more about the reason, which seemed out of place with them.It's just that he's the smallest among the few people, and that's okay. Gods with high mana usually grow slower after the gods. This has nothing to do with age, but it's a fact that people have short calves, so his anxiety doesn't seem so prominent.

I found nothing along the way, but the mountain road became narrower and narrower, and the mountain wind in the shade was a bit fierce. Gradually, the children lost the good mood at the beginning, and their voices became much quieter. They procrastinated for a while and said their legs were sore. Feet hurt.Someone asked: "Should I continue walking? I'm a little hungry and I can't walk anymore." One said, and the others echoed.

Gun Gun didn't find any trace of Jade True Grass in the grass, and although he didn't hold out the hope that he could find it once, but since he came, he had to check it out again.Seeing that it was getting late, he urged them, "We're almost at the top of the mountain, just keep going, if there's no one over there, we'll go back."

A few companions humming and chirping fell behind, Gun Gun couldn't wait to go up the mountain first.There were ten last steps left on the narrow stone steps, and he climbed up the last step in two steps in three steps, and then there was a flat open space.Gun Gun looked around and was a little disappointed. Although there were many weeds here, most of them were tall and thick, which did not match the appearance of real jade grass.He looked at the sun that had begun to set, and sighed softly.

At this moment, I caught a glimpse of light from the corner of my eye, turned my head to look, and found a trembling green grass beside a boulder on the top of the mountain. The jade-colored grass seeds contained dew, reflecting the setting sun. light.

This, is this real jade grass?Rolling heart was overjoyed.He rushed to the boulder in a hurry, squatted down and looked at the grass carefully.

At this moment of lightning, the faint light reflected by the dew on the grass seeds suddenly brightened, and a halo of light engulfed the grass together with the grass, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

When the few companions behind climbed up to the top of the mountain, all they saw were the undulating weeds under the setting sun, but Gun Gun disappeared.At first they thought that Gun Gun was hiding somewhere, they searched around suspiciously, and found that there was no place to hide, so they became nervous and afraid.

Lost the little highness of the female lord's family, how can this be!A few people rushed down the mountain immediately, only regretted that they lost a companion who was originally a bird, otherwise they would be able to go faster.

Rolling along with the halo, he fell to a desolate mountain pass. He was still thinking about the real jade grass he was holding, but unfortunately, that grass also turned into fly ash after the halo disappeared.Gun Gun was a little annoyed, wondering if it was because he didn't keep it properly.But it's useless to be upset at this time, the most urgent thing is to know where you are and how to get back.

He stood up, tugged at his slightly wrinkled robe, and chose a direction to move forward.

The sky here is very dark, there is no sunlight, and no stars can be seen, even the Qingqiu after sunset should not be like this.He had no reference to identify the direction, and he walked a little slowly.

There are some sparse vegetation on the ground, but it is not the grass green that is common in Qingqiu, but a deeper dark green or even black.The flowers and plants look very strange, some are scorched, some are emaciated, some are hideous like strange beasts, and some are jagged like strange rocks.

Not far away is a meandering stream, but what flows is not a clear spring, but red magma. The viscous magma slides slowly through every bend. There is no gurgling sound of spring water, and the magma licks the fine grass on the bank. There was a scorching sound, and what was strange was that there were fish-like creatures jumping up and down in the magma.

This place is like the Southern Wilderness of the Demon Race.

The Demon Lord Yan Chiwu had invited Feng Jiu and Gun Gun to play in the Demon Race, but most of them were blocked by Donghua's various incidents, so although Gun Gun felt like it, there was no proof.

At this time, although he was not afraid, he was alone after all. Gun Gun felt both the vigilance of something extraordinary and the excitement of a novel encounter. He touched his body, only the handle of a mahogany sword and a box of ointment for removing blood stasis, he couldn't even think about it. After retreating, he settled down and continued to move forward.

After walking for a while, he heard the sound of weapons clashing not far away, as well as the sound of scolding and fighting, which was very clear in this wilderness.Consciously weak, he carefully hid behind a protruding rock and waited with bated breath.After a while, only a few screams were heard, and then suddenly there was no sound outside.

Gun Gun poked his head out from behind the rock to look around, and saw a group of people lying scattered on the open space in front of him, some were Qingqiu people, some were dressed as demons, and they were all dead.He didn't know why they fought, but he couldn't stand by and watch if there were still alive.Out of this thought, he took a few steps forward and took a look.

Unexpectedly, after a look, he saw something different.

Most of these people were holding weapons, and sword wounds were unavoidable in the battle, but the strange thing was that some wounds had blood, while others did not.Because of this, the soil color is already red, no matter how much blood seeps into the soil, it doesn't feel abrupt, even if no blood flows out of the wound, it doesn't feel conspicuous.

On the pale skin of the corpse, there were several criss-cross cuts, but no trace of blood flowed from the hideous wounds, like an old doll being abandoned here, which is very strange.He looked at the clothes again, and confirmed that there were not only one side of the corpses with bloodless wounds, it seemed that there were both sides of the conflict.What's the point?

As he was thinking, a cool breeze passed behind his head.Gun Gun was vigilant, and immediately rolled on the spot, a black sword edge gleaming faintly pierced his temples, startling him into a cold sweat.
