The Book on the Pillow: The Sea and Moonlight

I don't know if he was dreaming, but the person on the bed turned over unsteadily, his black eyebrows frowning like distant mountains, his head shook slightly as if he was dodging something.

Donghua patted twice across the quilt to try to comfort her, but instead of relieving her, it made her move even more. Feng Jiu's body froze, she curled up with her head in her hands, and she began to babble half-dream and half-awake: "Head is good!" pain……"

Donghua's complexion moved slightly, which seemed to be not only a reaction after being drunk.Since he came here, because he wanted to avoid suspicion, he couldn't know everything about Feng Jiu in detail, and he couldn't find out about her situation for no reason. Could it be that she had a hidden disease that he hadn't discovered?

He circled Feng Jiu's half body with one hand, and condensed a ball of brilliance around her forehead with the other.A purple halo circled around the head of the scorpion and disappeared between the foreheads, Feng Jiu's tense body finally relaxed slightly.

Donghua calmed down a little, and manipulated techniques to sort out his inner breath for consolidation.His original intention was to alleviate her pain with his own cultivation, fearing that he would misjudge her injury, he spared a part of his consciousness to penetrate into Feng Jiu's sea of ​​consciousness.

Unexpectedly, this exploration made him an unexpected discovery.

Feng Jiu's sea of ​​consciousness is a vast nebula, although there is still a gap with him, an ancient god who was born in heaven and earth, but he is still a god after all, and his consciousness has a large scale.There is a red light shining in the nebula, which is very commensurate with her technique, and the core part is dazzling, like a star wrapped in it.

Ordinary people probably couldn't even look directly at it, but Donghua found a restriction in this dazzling brilliance.Forbidden is hidden in the spiral arms of the nebula, which is much darker than the surrounding strong light. The soft outer layer covers the hazy interior. If it is not for the trembling light that is emitting strong and weak light at this time, even he would hard to spot.

The familiar aura emanating from the ban once again attracted his attention.Over the past few days, this shadow has appeared around him anytime and anywhere, engulfing him and gradually walking to the center, step by step, the curtains are lifted layer by layer, and the truth has been slowly presented before his eyes intentionally or unintentionally.

Donghua carefully drove the divine consciousness closer in Feng Jiu's sea of ​​consciousness. Sure enough, there was no repulsion between the spells, and the purple luster of divine consciousness easily merged with the restriction. He shivered and saw the truth behind the restriction. thing.

It was a memory.To be precise, it is a memory of her and Donghua here seen from Fengjiu's perspective.

The beginning of memory is in Taichen Palace.

Feng Jiu was walking on the corridor with a tea cup in her hand, the huge palace was a bit deserted.

After Gun Gun got married, he brought his daughter-in-law, A Shu, to buy another mansion.Although Youyou didn't move out, she likes to travel around, and she also takes on the duties of Qingqiu's female monarch. When she comes back, she is often invited by Qingqiu people to handle official business, so she is considered a rare visitor.

The Taichen Palace has returned to the way it was before the children were born, solemn and quiet, although there is no shortage of fairy servants, but she is used to innocent laughter and slapstick, she always feels that it is too quiet.

Ordinarily, Donghua should be the most happy to see the results.Gun Gun and You You had just reached the height of the table, and he was always thinking about how to send them away. If the Xiwu Palace couldn't fit, he would send them to the Ten Li Tao Lin, and if the Ten Li Tao Lin couldn't fit in, he would send them to Kunlun Xu. At the time of collection, he actually came up with the idea of ​​letting the children stand on their own. The wisdom of the old god was never soft-hearted when he used his wisdom to calculate his own children.Feng Jiu laughed at him as a big jealousy, and was punished several times by him in one way or another.

I am happy to see it come to fruition, it was indeed the case at the beginning, Donghua proudly dragged her to heaven and earth for a while, looking like a honeymoon comeback. .

I don't know when it started, Donghua was a little absent-minded. He was often absent-minded, and he couldn't even sleep well at night. Several times she woke up in the middle of the night and found that his eyes were still open, and he didn't know what he was thinking.Although gods usually do not rely on sleep to recover their spirits, it is peculiar to Donghua who likes to stay in bed. She asked worriedly several times, but was fooled by the old god with Tai Chi.Seeing that there was nothing unusual about him other than this, Feng Jiu also put it down after a long time.

Until the accident that happened four hundred years ago.

Ever since Ye Hua became the Heavenly King, in order to rectify the evils left by the previous Heavenly Kings, he has been very diligent and diligent. He has always been frank in state affairs, but he always feels that he owes Bai Qian. There are fewer tours, so thousands of years ago, after he had been the emperor for 20 years, he dragged A Li out to inherit the Datong with a sense of relief, and he and Bai Qianyun disappeared.

Although Fengjiu was reluctant to part with her aunt, over the years, her aunt had indeed expressed her envy for her being able to spend time with Donghua everywhere, so she could only reluctantly bid farewell.The aunt lightly asked her to take care of Ali, so she packed her son and sent him to help him.

Ah Li has been close to Gun Gun since he was a child. He said he was a nephew, but in fact he is almost like a brother.Fang Cheng Datong, the forces of all parties are intertwined, there are always some undercurrents turbulent, although Taichen Palace has not entered the court for a long time, with the title of Emperor Donghua, other idlers dare not provoke it easily, and with the help of Qingqiu, it is indeed smooth many.Gun Gun has a straight and upright personality, although he will not take the initiative to take the initiative, but he never slackens in the errands that come to him, and he acts fairly and pays equal attention to kindness and power.

After Ah left Tianjun, he spent the first 500 years in stabilizing the court and getting familiar with government affairs, and finally had some spare time.After all, the kid is still sensible, and he didn't go on a tour with much fanfare, so he took Gun Gun to travel around on the pretext of knowing the folk customs of the Six Realms.

This year, they arrived in Xihuang.Since Qing Cang was sealed, the scene where the ghost clan and the god clan fought against each other no longer existed, and the vitality of the ghost clan was greatly damaged.During the Tianting court meeting, someone proposed to redistribute the land in the Western Wilderness, but there were different opinions on how the various ethnic groups should arrange it. After decades of quarreling, no progress was made, so it was shelved.

A Li and Gun Gun's destination was not here, but they were brought to the hinterland of the Western Wilderness for some reason.They encountered ominous beasts Zhuhuai, Jiaojiao, Jiuying, Wuwu, and Qiongqi one after another in an ancient ruins.Ordinarily, some of these fierce beasts are in the south and some are in the north, but they unexpectedly appeared in one place, which is already unusual.Even so, with Ah Li and Gun Gun's cultivation base, although it is possible to retreat completely without suppressing the victory, but that time of distress was completely out of the two's control. It occurred to me that ferocious beasts were not ordinary ferocious beasts—they were already fierce and powerful, and they were blessed with some unknown power. Not only did they continue to maintain ferocity and combat power when injured, but they also eroded the wounded so that their wounds deteriorated rapidly.After fighting for a long time, the disadvantages of Ah Li's superiority in words and skills emerged, and he was used as a weak point to focus on attacking. Gun Gun not only had to resist the offensive against him, but also pay attention to Ah Li at all times. He accidentally got seriously injured.

When Donghua noticed that the Tiangang cover was damaged and arrived, Gun Gun was already dying.Afterwards, Donghua took Gun Gun and A Li to rush to Zheyan in Shili Taolin for treatment, and Feng Jiu didn't get the news until then.

The strange thing is that even in Fengjiu's hidden memory, what kind of injury Gun Gun suffered is very vague. All I know is that Zheyan and Donghua spent a lot of effort to heal Gun Gun.

Fengjiu once inadvertently heard Zheyan say to Donghua: "...Actually, it's okay to find other ways to say for sure, why do you have to..." Donghua asked back: "You also said yes' I can't tell, do you think I will do something I'm not sure about?" The two of them stopped talking when they noticed her approaching vigilantly, so she still didn't know what they were talking about, and she always had doubts in her heart.

However, this doubt has not been answered even by Gun Gun and A Li.

After Gun Gun recovered, Donghua took Feng Jiu less time to go out and more time to retreat.Feng Jiu wondered if he was injured trying to save Gun Gun, but he didn't find any clues.

On the contrary, whenever he goes out of the customs, he entertains more like an idle old fairy, sleeping by the pool with a fishing rod, or playing the rhythm piano by burning white sandalwood, and using Cang He as the fruit-beating tool to pick loquats for her , Apricots And Cherries.In contrast, his Buddhist scriptures are no longer approved, and his calligraphy and paintings are also idle, not to mention how long he has not fired kilns.

Before that, he had devoted himself to practicing cooking skills, but at this time he was also thrown to the back of his mind.Fengjiu wanted to make a big meal to cheer him up. Seeing that the old god was bored, she pulled him to help him, euphemistically calling it "husband and wife advance and retreat together". Fanji put all the wonderful ingredients together and made a mess of the kitchen, and was finally invited out by the temperless Fengjiu.

Even so, Feng Jiu still felt weird.Donghua was always gentle towards her, but Fengjiu felt that he had something on his mind.At night, he tossed and turned more frequently than before, but he also knew how to cover up. Once he noticed that she woke up, he quietly covered his breath.

This calmness continued to the moment in Fengjiu's memory, the moment when she was walking on the corridor of Taichen Palace with a tea cup in her hand.

This has been Fengjiu's three consecutive days of coming to the inner room to look for Donghua.

Donghua suddenly stopped his previous laziness half a month ago and became busy, but the busyness was quite mysterious.That day he said that he would retreat for half a month and told Feng Jiu not to worry, but he didn't say why.

Feng Jiu hesitated and agreed.However, fifteen days later, Donghua did not leave the customs as scheduled, so she waited here every day, fearing that he would have any accidents, and at the same time comforting herself that what could happen in Taichen Palace.But without seeing him, my heart is always uneasy.

The servants of the immortals had been sent far away, and there was no one around the inner room of Donghua's retreat.

Feng Jiu lingered here for a moment with the teacup in hand, but she didn't leave as she did two days ago. She hesitated for a while, and decided to open the door and go in for a look.

The door didn't lock.This is not uncommon, generally it is not locked, and ordinary people will not approach rashly, if there is something important, there will be a restriction inside.

However, when Feng Jiu stepped into the door, she found that there was no one inside.

This place is not a palace with many institutions. There are two rooms inside and outside, one big and one small. They are all empty and unobstructed structures. It is clear at a glance whether they are there or not, and there is no confusion. She didn't find any trace of the old fairy, and she couldn't help feeling tense.

If it was said that Donghua planned to deceive her from the very beginning, she would not believe it, and there was no need for it. She had never restricted his whereabouts.She couldn't think of where she had gone but she couldn't tell her. If this was the case, the door should be closed tightly.

Another possibility is that Donghua was indeed retreating here, but due to some sudden factors interrupting the process, he was in a hurry to deal with it.This sounds more reasonable, but there is also a question, even if it is urgent, why didn't Donghua send a message to her?

Feng Jiu wandered around here for a while to no avail, and returned to the main hall in a trance.Thinking that maybe we should send someone to investigate the places Donghua often goes to, but it's hard to explain too clearly. If it's really just a delay, wouldn't it appear that she is ignorant?

She stayed restless until the second day, but still did not see Donghua come back.

Those who returned from Zheyan, Lian Song, etc. did not bring any news.Feng Jiu felt that she couldn't just sit and wait. She thought about where Donghua might go, and the first thing that came to her mind was Bihai Cangling.

As a legendary blessed land of fairyland, Bihai Cangling has always been a place where people in the six realms look up to the mountains, but there are only a handful of people who are lucky enough to see its grand occasion. It is not a reason to obstruct everyone, but the last time Bihai Cangling opened the door to entertain guests was when Donghua and Fengjiu were married 20 years ago, so it has become a legend in everyone's hearts.

Fengjiu was obviously not bound by this, and she was able to come and go freely thanks to Donghua.

Perhaps because she was too used to this kind of unimpeded flow, she ignored that it took a little longer to pass through the barrier this time, so that when she was in the dark cloud and the windy blue sea, she became extremely suspicious, and she was shocked. She failed to react in time in the crisis-ridden situation, and when she met the embarrassed Donghua by the dim and chaotic Lingquan bank full of anxiety, she had already fallen into a coma involuntarily.

Feng Jiu couldn't tell what she saw in Bihai Cangling. Although she knew the catastrophe of chaos that everyone said, she didn't connect the two. She only knew that the situation was not optimistic.

She didn't know how long she slept, and when she woke up several times, Donghua held her in his arms, surrounded by boundless darkness, only a little light remained around the two of them.She felt the constant loss of cultivation and life, and also saw the self-blame and grief on Donghua's face.

At that time, she thought that life is indeed fragile, no matter whether it is a god or a mortal.In the past years, she and Donghua have both encountered critical moments. They saved themselves from danger time and time again, and won for themselves the years and years of being together, but these are not eternal after all. One day they will have an end, Now comes the end.

She was thankful that she was the one who walked ahead this time, and she couldn't bear to watch Donghua fall down again but could do nothing.Dying to her has never been the scariest thing. She was ready to die with Donghua when she was 23 years old, let alone today at [-] years old; what she fears most is dying in loneliness and hopelessness, without him. Die in loneliness and hopelessness.She can be very strong, can be very free and easy, that is when the love has passed away, but now, she hopes that she will not wake up from the intoxication, how can she think of losing him and forgetting him!

She felt sorry for Donghua. From the bottom of her heart, she couldn't bear to let him be sad, and she also knew that Donghua must be hurt by her departure.But she was even more unwilling to let Donghua hurt the root for herself. The predicament they were in at this time was not resolved, and there should be something that Donghua needed more, but she couldn't do more for him.

Feng Jiu's heartbeat was sluggish, her whole body was cold, and her vision was blurred. Only Donghua's long hair like frozen snow on a green hill poured into her heart like a river pouring down.

She is peaceful and light, even content.She used to think that she could only be destined to have nothing to do with him, but they broke the destiny, and they have been together for 10,000+ years and have children. She should be satisfied.

Lightly stepping through spring blossoms and autumn fruits, high mountains and long rivers, every memory is like pearls and jade, she hummed that song for him softly, hoping that he would remember her love and warmth.

There was rain falling on her face, it was Donghua's tears.

After a long silence, Feng Jiu thought this was the way home, but she heard the voice again.

An exasperated voice sounded like Zheyan: "...you don't want to die! How can you do it!"

"This fate, don't forget it!" Donghua's tired voice came over a beat later.

"You'd better listen to me, or neither of you will get well!" Zheyan banged the table loudly.

What answered him was a series of coughing sounds, and then he said: "You cure her first!"

She felt warmth in her chest, and distress surrounded her again.

After an unknown amount of time, Fengjiu was able to finally open her eyes. She saw Donghua's emaciated but excited face. He even hugged her tightly uncontrollably, and shed two lines of hot tears on her face. Between her items.

They should all cherish being able to cuddle up to each other like this.In the ensuing decades, Donghua watched over Fengjiu carefully, never leaving her side.

Fengjiu had just recovered from a serious illness, so it's not good to waste too much energy, so Donghua had to worry about every detail.Perhaps because of this, he also lost a lot like Feng Jiu.In the end, Gun Gun and You You went out together and took over the job of taking care of their parents. Only then did the embarrassment of Taichen Palace be resolved, and the number of Zheyan jumping feet was finally reduced.

Feng Jiu hadn't let go of the unsolved mysteries yet, and there was one more at this time, but every time she brought up this topic, Donghua would be able to divert a thousand miles away.She couldn't see the meaning in his eyes, but she had an intuition that the matter had not been resolved.

Today's days are already stolen time for her, every inch of time is worth every inch of gold, they should be glad that they can still hold hands, if she wants to see it better, she doesn't have to care about everything so clearly.

After that, came the day when the catastrophe of chaos came back.

The broken sky and Donghua's silent back appeared in Fengjiu's memory.

Zheyan, Lian Song, and Ah Li came and went in a hurry. Gun Gun and You You stayed with their father in the main hall for a long time. Dong Hua looked up at the entrance of the zenith, thinking silently.

That night, Donghua didn't fall asleep for a long time.

Although Fengjiu wanted to accompany him, but she was not in good spirits.While half dreaming and half awake, she felt someone gently kiss her hair, and he said in a hoarse voice, "... Xiaobai, take care!"

The memory stops here.

The figure who was still vivid just now suddenly became dark, and disappeared into the air as a cloud.

Donghua held his chest and gasped for breath.He never thought that he would face such a memory directly. The sorrow and joy in the memory penetrated his spiritual consciousness without hindrance, and quickly infected him who was close at hand.

Although it was Feng Jiu's memory, he could easily feel the pain and helplessness of Donghua in his memory.If what he felt in Bihai Cangling before was just the tip of the iceberg, then today he should have seen most of it.He thinks he can roughly guess the unsolvable mysteries in Feng Jiu's memory.

The overly intense emotion caused his heart to sink to the bottom uncontrollably after ups and downs. He felt the same pain as the person in his memory. He squeezed his oppressed chest uncomfortably, and fell down on the edge of the couch.
