The Book on the Pillow: The Sea and Moonlight

Donghua's primordial spirit went deep into the master's sea of ​​consciousness, and followed him across three scenes.

At the beginning, Donghua wasn't quite sure whether it was something that actually happened to the lord or a figment of imagination, just as he couldn't be sure whether they also existed in his own past.

Compared with the lord, the extra two hundred thousand years made him see some things and forget some things.

The novelty of entering the world for the first time, the desire to get closer, the loss of being rejected by others, the isolation of self-abandonment... Who didn't have illusions in their hearts when they were young?He also envied ordinary people who were warm and loving, and he also hoped to have close relatives who asked for warmth, but people's kindness was rarely shared with irrelevant outsiders. Although he knew it in his heart, he still affirmed his due time after time s position.He retreated to his own world in silence, and gradually got used to facing the rest of his life alone.

This situation did not change until I went to study in the marshes. The group of classmates I met there became one of the few close friends in the next few hundred thousand years. Although some were silent, some gossiped, some were stupid, some The impulsiveness, he didn't mean to alienate him who was withdrawn on purpose, so that he also had a sense of immersion in it when he acted as an expressionless bystander most of the time.Although those various homework can't help him, on the contrary, the daily life is more interesting, which makes him look forward to tomorrow.

Coming out of the water swamp, he and his classmates and comrades-in-arms are busy fighting for the four seas and wilderness. It is not so much a sense of responsibility as it is more appropriate to say that they have some kind of goal.He does not belong to any clan and has no awareness of fighting for his clan. He simply feels that the chaos affects his perception and mood. If you are obedient, it will be easy to grasp when the time comes to rub the circle and pinch it flat.Once he gets busy, he doesn't care about others, and the lonely little person in his heart will stay away.

Later, he had a home.Or because he got what he wanted, he finally let go of the pain of growing up. It has been a long time since he had the idea of ​​"standing alone and hanging from each other". in the corner.If there is still anxiety and entanglement, it must be about Xiaobai.

Because of this, Donghua is unlikely to be able to think of himself as a lonely and helpless child. A long time ago, that thin and thin child had already fallen asleep in his memory with the determination of the past.The old scars have faded from his heart, and now he is calm when talking about it, there are gains and losses, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. This is what he thinks about himself these years.

If the first two scenes were the lord's memory, he could already sense the difference between them.

The third scene came suddenly, Donghua was convinced that the tail belonged to the person he was most familiar with and closest to, but how could Xiaobai appear in the master's illusion?

From the perspective of time, this is almost impossible, no matter which world it is in, Xiao Bai will not appear so early, let alone Bai Zhi and Ning Chang are not married yet, where are the descendants?

Even the illusion has its logic, the most anticipated, the most feared, the most entangled, the most helpless... No matter what kind, there must be a knot that is difficult to overcome before you can generate the illusion for binding.But what kind of knot can two people who shouldn't know each other have?

Or, what factors triggered this illusion?However, if there is anything that can connect the lord's illusion with Xiaobai's original body, he seems to be the only one who knows that the woman in white that the lord saw in another illusion is actually the owner of the fox tail here. It was the same, and the master at this time didn't even know what was behind the tail.

Turning his thoughts around, Donghua thought of the illusion he had seen in the enchantment before, and the master who appeared in the illusion for some reason.There seemed to be some clues at hand.

He followed the opportunity for the appearance of the illusion, and one detail became clearer: when he entered the valley, he bumped into a silver light head-on, then entered the illusion, and then the Lord appeared.

What is that silver light?After thinking about it, there is only one possibility, which is the technique used by the Lord to support the barrier.

So is there a possibility that when he opened the barrier around his body and went deep into the thick clouds in the valley, he encountered the master's spell head-on, and the two interacted to create the result that the two were in the same illusion?In other words, it is possible for the two of them to use spells at the same time to have some kind of common effect? !

Donghua himself finds it inconceivable that he came to this conclusion after scratching the surface, but if there is no other reasonable explanation, the most unlikely conclusion may be the truth.

Needless to say, the origin between him and the lord, as the reflection of the same identity in different worlds, they are different in details, but they are also inextricably linked.In this sense, if they use spells in the same space, what wonderful effects will be produced, it seems not so difficult to understand.

And once you accept this setting, you can go back and find that the first abnormality should have appeared when they were exchanging ideas in the military camp. Thousands of miles tracking and deep enchantment.

In this way, it is even more understandable that he saw Xiaobai in the illusion of the lord at this time. After all, both he and the lord have used so many spells in the enchantment today, and when the thick clouds are not clear, the magic that can give birth to the illusion is the most. The evil spirit probably also played a role in their strange commonality.

The doubts seemed to be answered quite satisfactorily, but Donghua always felt that something was missing.

The boy in the illusion is already asking: "Who are you?"

The big, fluffy tail flicked, and disappeared into the mist.

The boy was taken aback for a moment, and started to chase after him.

A sharp fox mouth suddenly drilled out of the mist, followed by a furry fox face, round fox eyes, and a striking cluster of phoenix feather flowers on the forehead.The little fox came closer, barked a few times, and tilted his head to look at the boy.

"Phoenix Feather Flower?" The young man looked at the nimble little fox in front of him in astonishment, obviously paying more attention to the imprint on its forehead, "You are..."

Although the young man from the previous scene has been tossed and turned for a long time in the years, he still retains the repressed and incomprehensible emotions of the old days, and he is reminded of long-forgotten memories. Unmistakable red.

The young man leaned over and picked up the little fox that was sitting still, stroked its back gently, and asked in a low voice, "Did you come back?"

Donghua looked at the boy and the little fox in his arms with complicated expressions.Just as he didn't want to point to the woman in white and say "it's your future wife" to the lord, at this moment he actually doesn't want to see other people cuddling with the little fox.

But at the same time, the scene in front of him was like fireworks in the dark night, suddenly lighting up the obscurity in his thoughts, which made him feel enlightened, and he didn't have time to distract himself for a while.

To be precise, it was two ideas that hit him.

One is about what he saw after communion with the lord.

He originally thought that the common results were unconstrained and chaotic, but after thinking about it carefully, the scene he saw for the first time was actually predictable. At that time, he always cared about it, so he went to explore it. Ming Yuyi also had the development of subsequent events.Facts have proved that even if it is not in the middle, it is not far away.

The second time, they saw Xiaobai in the same illusion. He originally thought it was a reenactment of the scene before he and Xiaobai got married, but from another perspective, is it also a precognitive illusion for the master?His past is not necessarily incapable of becoming the Lord's future.As for why the little fox in front of him failed to remind the master of the little fox that could transform into a woman in white in the illusion, it may be because what the master saw was different from what he saw, and it was not a complete illusion.

So, in the same way, does the illusion at this time also herald some kind of future?If so, does it mean that the lord will also meet his Xiaobai?

This is something to be comforted with.He and Xiaobai were once said to have no destiny, and he didn't remember any predestined relationship before Xiaobai was born, but even Donghua thought that the first encounter with Xiaobai was actually the result of her long-term hard work, not to mention Sansheng In the third life, at that time, it was difficult to find even the whole life.

Thinking of the lord's murmured phrase "I seem to have seen her somewhere" in the illusion, and the boy's restrained and reluctant eyes looking at the gorgeous phoenix feather flowers in the second scene, Donghua's expression softened. some.

According to legend, the juice brewed from the rhizome of Phoenix Feather Flower represents infatuation, and giving it to others is a confession. The little Phoenix Feather Flower has already expressed its heart, and the young master may not know it, but is blocked by the fear in his heart. pace.

Presumably they still have a relationship. If this young man could meet his Xiaobai earlier this time, would it be possible to usher in a turning point?

However, Donghua is still very worried, and this is because of second thoughts, about him and the lord.

Ever since he recognized their differences in the first two scenes, Donghua realized that he really took it for granted. Even if they are the reflection of the same identity in different worlds, why do they think they are similar?

Must they have had the same experience?Must have the same lifespan?Are you bound to meet the same people?Will there be a happy result with Xiaobai?Why, why is he so sure?

Asking each question made him sweat and feel a chill down his spine.Yes, how can you be sure?

In fact, starting from the last world, various signs have shown that events will have different developments. The discrepancy between him and "Donghua" in that world was before the celebration of the Celestial Clan, and he clearly knew it at that time——Da Qian The world is unpredictable, and he is not the same person in different worlds. How can he turn his head and forget the truth of "he is not the same person, but his experience of nature is very different"?

But when he thought that he and Xiaobai could not always be consummated in the thousands of worlds, and that they might even be strangers and miss each other, Donghua felt a lump in his chest, and the heart-wrenching pain hit him again, making his eyes go black for a while. .It doesn't matter if you say he is greedy or persistent, it's fine if you haven't seen him before, even if you tell him to see them, you still have to watch them separate with cold eyes, how can you bear it!

Fortunately, at present, it seems that the master and his Xiaobai still have some fronts, but the fronts are still shallow and the way forward is unclear.

What makes him even more worried is that the so-called "prediction" is not completely accurate.Judging from the results of the first joint session between the two, he did see a strange bird in Yuyi Valley, but the strange bird did not devour all the Celestial Clan army as predicted, so the prediction and the reality are not the same, maybe There is only a partial truth, and there is still an uncertain "truth".Even if the lord has the heart, it is unknown whether there are other obstacles that make his wish impossible.

Thinking of this, Donghua closed his eyes, and sighed in his heart: This Laoshizi's "precognition" is really incomprehensible!That's why he doesn't like to use divination very much. What else can he do besides embarrassing himself?

The boy in front of him was still hugging his little fox, and he didn't feel bored even walking in the mist.

Not long after, a huge boulder appeared in the mist blocking the way.

The little fox beeped twice to signal the young man to come forward, but the young man was rather hesitant. He stared at the boulder and looked around, but he never took a step forward.

After a while, seeing that he hadn't moved, the little fox arched impatiently in his arms, and jumped onto the boulder with a few ups and downs with snow-white paws, then poked his head out to look at him from above.

Feeling the call of the little fox, the young man reached out to touch the boulder and wanted to jump up.Unexpectedly, the moment his hand touched the huge boulder, the ordinary and rough surface suddenly shook and shone with light.

Something seemed to be revealed in the light, the young man stared at it for a moment, and then his expression was disbelief.He raised his head to look at the little fox with a solemn expression, and hesitantly stretched out a finger to lightly touch the boulder, and a bright light flashed on the surface of the boulder.

The little fox above seemed to have sensed something, the hairs of the fox stood on end, and it raised its head vigilantly to look around.A strange wind blew from nowhere and pushed it back. The little fox immediately stretched out its paws and clawed hard at the cracks in the stone, but it was still swept back a few steps.

The boy quickly withdrew his fingers, and the invisible force around the little fox suddenly loosened. The little guy who was still resisting with all his strength couldn't hold back. He rolled twice before barely stopping on the edge of the boulder. It was shaking a little dizzy Head, lying down and looking pitifully at the boy below.

The young man thought for a while, re-formed the sword he was holding, and slashed towards the boulder.The always invincible soldier did not cut through the boulder as expected, but encountered a strong enemy for the first time in his life. The sharp sword tip sparked a series of sparks on the surface of the boulder, leaving only shallow scratches. There are no damage to the marks and other star debris.Reluctantly, the young man turned back and hacked. Not only was it ineffective this time, but even the scratches left just now gradually disappeared.

From above, the little fox whimpered in pain. It rolled over the rock with its head in its arms, as if the sword had not only hit the boulder, but also hit its head.When the boy woke up and stopped, the little fox came back panting heavily. It drooped its ears in grievance, and weakly whimpered at the boy below.

The young man didn't dare to take any more risks, he took a few steps back, stepped down a bit, and tried to go directly over the boulder, but when he came to the top of the boulder, he was blocked by something and still landed on the same spot.Changed a few directions, different movement techniques, no difference, it was as if a moat had been set up in front of the boulder, blocking his way alone.

He couldn't hurt the little foxes, but he also wanted to break the shackles that bound them. After several attempts, the young man's heart was chilled time and time again.He went up and down with the little fox, but they were only a short distance away, but they couldn't get any further.The little fox was so anxious that he spun around on the boulder, but he couldn't turn back into the boy's arms.

The young man looked at the little fox who was about to cry, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, as if he still couldn't accept the ending that he just met and couldn't get together, but his feet had already taken half a step back.

Different from the boy's blind obsession, Donghua saw something different.One person and one fox came to the boulder before there was no flaw, and the problem lies in this boulder.

Previously, his primordial spirit flowed with the master's consciousness, feeling the illusion he experienced, but there was more fog around him.As far as the source of the fog is concerned, it may not all be due to external forces. After all, when the mind is chaotic, there will indeed be chaotic obstructions in the sea of ​​consciousness. Hua never acted rashly.

But the next moment, the boulder seen by the people in the illusion, in Donghua's eyes, was the only dark vision in the white mist.

Looking carefully, the black mass is not static, but tumbling and surging, and even threw out two long tentacles, reaching for the boy and the little fox in the illusion, wrapping them within without a trace.

This situation is not unfamiliar, the evil spirits in the enchantment of Yanshan did such evil, and now they have sneaked into the master's consciousness.At this time, it doesn't matter how they sneak in, it's nothing more than when the lord rescued Bai Zhi, or when he was distracted to repel the remnants of the ghosts and demons who sneaked in, they were taken advantage of.

Evil spirits love to attack people's shortcomings, hold on to the things they mourn and fear, and arouse knots and even demons.

From this point of view, it confirms Donghua's previous conjecture that the blue bird and Fengyuhua really existed, and regardless of whether Fengyuhua and the little fox are the frontlines, the pain that the lord is entangled in the bottom of his heart is clear. It turned out that he was also afraid of separation.

Donghua was stunned for a moment, the lord here is so similar to "Donghua" in the previous world, but they chose two different paths: "Donghua" in the previous world was afraid of losing and not Willing to let go, the obsession is so deep that it affects the operation of the six realms; the lord of this world chooses to retreat because of fear of losing, and would rather lick the wound alone than hurt the other party.

However, he didn't laugh at their position. Separation is not his pain point. If Xiaobai and the children leave, he will not analyze the pros and cons calmly, and he can't even guarantee whether he can maintain his sanity.Slightly different from them, he will never give up lightly, and his primary goal is always to stay with Xiaobai and reunite with his family.

Looking at it now, experiences in different worlds seem to have different meanings. Donghua seems to see himself standing in front of countless checkpoints, because of different choices, he went to different paths.The ends of these worlds are open and narrow, but for him there are actually only two kinds: the world with Xiaobai and the world without Xiaobai.As long as it is the former, he will try his best to live to an end.

Now that the root cause has been found, it is natural to save it.Donghua used his cultivation base to trap the evil spirit who turned into a boulder, and then peeled off the tentacles from the boy and the little fox, watching them shrink little by little in the purple light, finally revealing the true colors of a square stele.

The light of purification ignited from the primordial spirit is exceptionally pure, and the backlash is also exceptionally large. According to this process, although Donghua's little remaining cultivation base can be supported, it is also difficult.

He had expected that this would be his last important task in this world, but looking at the gloomy young man in the illusion, he felt that there was one more thing he could do.

Bai Zhi almost rushed towards Mo Yuan.

He was most anxious about Donghua's injury, but he was assigned by the "Wenchang Immortal" to do the aftermath, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it. After all, he was the one who hurt Donghua, and Donghua and Wenchang were the ones who saved the army. , No matter how you look at it, I am the one who is relatively useless.

The remnants of the ghost and demon clans were pursued, and the clown, who was at the end of his strength, couldn't do anything; Yan's news was delivered without delay.

But now that Kung Fu Moyuan has arrived, Zheyan, that brat, doesn't know what he's dawdling about.

Bai Zhi couldn't wait, and Donghua's injury couldn't wait, and Mo Yuan could always help him if Zheyan wasn't around.He didn't care about other things, he dragged Mo Yuan to the barrier set up by "Wenchang Immortal", talking all the way, and finally explained the cause and effect clearly.

Due to the situation, the barrier is not so inaccessible, it is only slightly concealed, it seems that it knows that someone is approaching, and it has been removed in advance.

On one side of the couch, the pattern of one person lying down and one standing up entered the two people's field of vision without any obstruction.

Of course, Bai Zhi was most concerned about the person lying on the couch. Seeing that although he was still awake, his complexion was no longer pale, his expression was much more stable than before, and his breathing was smoother. Good way!"

Different from Bai Zhi, Mo Yuan pays attention to the standing people first.Now that he knew the antecedents and judged with common sense, he naturally understood that it was Donghua who was lying down and "Immortal Wenchang" who was standing.But from a distance, this fairy who was hiding in the shade of a tree with his back to them made him feel inexplicably familiar.

Bai Zhi rushed over to look at the people on the couch in a hurry, while Mo Yuan unconsciously slowed down and looked at the fairy carefully.His eyes swept across his plain black clothes, and slowly looked up to see his tall and straight back, and with the flow of light, he finally landed on a head of silver hair hanging on his shoulders.

Mo Yuan's gaze was fixed, Bai Zhi had never described Wenchang to him, he naturally didn't know what Wenchang Xianjun looked like, and silver hair is nothing unusual, only he knew that there were several of them in the demon clan, monster clan and even the celestial clan He was born with silver hair, but for some reason, his heart suddenly moved at this moment.

Before he could think about where this strangeness came from, "Wenchang Immortal" turned his head as if feeling something, and a face that was almost exactly the same as the person on the couch appeared in front of him.

Mo Yuan's rare thoughts paused for a moment, looked at him and then at the couch, then turned his eyes back to his face, and said awkwardly: "You..."

"Wenchang" seemed to be pleased by his astonishment, and said with a faint smile, "You are here!"

"You know me! Are you?"

"Mo Yuan, come and take a look at Donghua! Ouch, what are you doing standing there stupidly! I'll talk to Xianjun Wenchang later..." The question Mo Yuan finally uttered was suddenly interrupted, and the rough-haired Bai Zhi He thought that Mo Yuan was greeting "Wen Chang", but it wasn't until he inadvertently turned his head to see the people around him that he realized that the mature and prudent Mo Yuan had lost his sense of proportion.

"Ah? Why do you look like this, you, who are you!" The big fox who couldn't hide his words immediately yelled.

"Wenchang" shook his head with a low smile, ignored him, and still said to Mo Yuan, "Look at him, I should go." He walked away leisurely, took two steps and added, " Take care!"

"Wait!" Bai Zhi stretched out his hand to persuade him to stay, but within a short while, the man's distant figure gradually melted into the mottled shadow of the restored calm.

The sun shines through the forest, the breeze blows through the treetops, and the tranquility reveals ease, as if nothing has happened.
