There is the crackling sound of burning candles in my ears.

This reminded Songyang of the scene when he wrote letters to the students who traveled far away in the candlelight of the private school.At that time, I was really full of anticipation and entanglement. I also wanted them to grow up quickly, and I wanted them to come back early, so as not to accidentally catch the cold outside.I can't wait to write all the warmth and love in my heart into the letter and let the students carry it on their bodies.

"Wake up."

Beside him was the voice of a strange man, because it was late at night, it was deliberately lightened, and it made people feel peaceful for no reason.Song Yang turned his head sideways on the pillow, and saw silver ancient emerald green eyes.

"I mixed a little medicine for you, and I made it with all the wine. It might be unbearable for ordinary people, but for you, who is originally a light vein, it should be just right."

Songyang propped himself up to drink the medicine, his long hair, which had not been trimmed for a long time, slipped down from his shoulders, and was about to fall into the medicine bowl.Yin Gu stretched out his hand subconsciously, but he didn't make a slightly intimate move to block the hair, but just lifted the bowl and said, "Let's sit up."

A man who is gentler than himself, but more alienated than himself.

Songyang wanted to find an answer from the other party, swallowed the strange-tasting medicine, and said impatiently: "Mr. Yingu, what am I?"

His question was a bit rambling, but Yin Gu understood it.He thought for a while and said, "Although I have never seen a case like yours before, by definition, you should also be a 'worm'."

"What is a worm?"

"Insects are creatures that are closer to the 'origin of life' than humans."

Seeing Song Yang's bewildered look, Yin Gu smiled while biting a cigarette.

"Open your palm and look at your five fingers. If you compare the ecological circle of this world to a human body, then the most intelligent human being at the top of the food chain is probably the one farthest from the heart. tip."

Run the fingers of the other hand down the palm.

"The index finger, ring finger and little finger are animals like pigs, cattle and sheep, and the thumb should be all kinds of plants and fungi.

"If you follow the blood vessels and veins, and then continue to the direction of the heart, the classification of plants and animals will become blurred, and there will be a fourth existence of non-plants, non-fungi, and non-animals, such as between protozoa and fungi. "Ganoderma lucidum" among them."

Fingers across the inside of the arm, across the shoulders, towards the heart.

"The organisms around the heart are the closest to the blood pumping mechanism of the heart. In the current biological system, insects are lower than single-celled organisms, but there are many types. There may be more intelligent creatures than humans. race, but they are so secluded that they are hard to meet.

"Most of the worms that are rashly exposed to the human world are like the 'rui' that entangles you. They have no thinking ability and emotion, and only act on the instinct of survival. Because the worms are too close to the source of life, they have evolved to' Humans at the top can't easily see them."

Songyang struggled to digest, and said: "So if I am a 'worm', others should not be able to see me."

"Well, it's theoretically so, so I find it strange too."

Yin Gu motioned him to look at the scrolls and books piled up next to the wooden box.

"Unfortunately, the previous generation of insect masters did not record an example similar to yours. It's just that I vaguely remember seeing sporadic descriptions of the 'Lord of Light Veins' from others. If there is no entrustment in the near future, I will visit that one again people."

"What is 'light pulse'?"

Yin Gu pressed his mouth, covering up a yawn and a helpless smile.

"It's difficult to explain this clearly. How about this, one question a day."

... The share of one question a day is not enough at all.

This man is the first person who can tell him exactly what [Xu] exists since he was born 500 years ago.

Probably because Songyang’s disappointed expression was so pitiful, Yin Gu put away the scroll and said with a smile: “There are a lot of things, you have to see them with your own eyes to understand what I’m talking about. You’ve had enough sleep, I need to rest early. Wait until tomorrow, let's go on the road together."

"Let's go on the road together?"

"Don't you want to? You can choose to stay here, but I have an insect-attracting physique, so I can't stay in one place for too long."

...You have a physique that attracts bugs, but I am a bug.

This sentence is hard to say, Songyang replied with a smile: "Of course I am willing."

The white-haired insect master fell into a deep sleep.Songyang sat alone with Yuori in his cage, counting the time with a calendar.

When he left the black hole of tennis, it was the summer vacation at the end of August. After he entered the dragon vein, he completely lost the sense of time.The calendar of the villagers' home was torn up to mid-October. According to the villagers, when he appeared in the stream, it was around July.

There is a time gap of at least a year in between.

Had he been lost in the dragon's veins for almost a year?Or has it been many years?

What time is it now?Why does everyone in the village wear kimono and straw sandals and use old-fashioned tools, but Gingo wears shirts and trousers and dresses like a modern person?

Song Yang took this question to Yin Gu early the next morning.

"Because I am an insect master who travels with the light vein." Yin Gu said, "The light pulse will not be restricted by the world line."

Songyang's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to open his mouth to ask again, when Master Chong raised a finger and smiled wickedly: "One question a day."

...that's too cunning.

Yin Gu left some medicine for the villagers to treat minor illnesses, and took Songyang to set off.Before leaving, he used a bag of spring worm powder to change Songyang into a kimono, winter clothes and cotton socks, and put them in a wooden box.

"Winter in the mountains is very cold."

Yin Gu said.

Speaking of travel, Songyang's experience is no less than that of this perennial wandering insect master-almost 500 of the 400 years have been on the road.At the beginning, Yin Gu was worried about whether the incarnation of Guangmai would be squeamish, but when they went up the mountain together, Songyang reached the top of the mountain in no time.

"... Wait, wait for me?!"

The previous world was noisy and lively, but this world is full of mountains and mountains, and it is rare to hear even a bird's cry.

The sky is green, lonely and atmospheric.

Won't you feel lonely?

Although he wanted to ask Mr. Insect Master this way, Songyang thought about it carefully, and when he was wandering alone, he really wouldn't feel particularly lonely.

The moments when you feel lonely are probably only when you see houses with warm lights on a snowy night, when you see a lively family during the cherry blossom viewing season, and when you form bonds with people but have to travel far.

"Do you feel a little bored walking the mountain road?"

Before he could speak, Yin Gu behind him spoke first.

"Here's something fun for you."

What he took out from the wooden box was a glistening wine.

"This is something that flows in the veins of light. We call it 'light wine'. If it is a worm, it should be very fond of drinking this."

The things flowing in the veins of light...will it be of the same nature as his dragon blood?

Songyang carefully took a sip from the edge of the bowl.I can't tell what the taste is, neither sweet nor bitter, with a slight mellow taste.He tasted and drank it, and drank it up without paying attention. He really thought it was delicious, and he stretched out the empty bowl to try to pour Yingu again.

"...No. I don't have much left."

Yin Gu put the bowl back straight away, wiped some light wine in the bowl with his thumb, and rubbed it on Songyang's left eyelid.

"As the incarnation of light veins, it's a bit unreasonable not to see the worm. This is a temporary solution. After 2 minutes, open your left eye and take a look."

After 2 minutes, Songyang thought he had floaters.

All over the mountains and plains are tiny objects glowing with light.The crimson flower-shaped luminous objects stretched out their petals and circled above their heads, and there were very thin streams of bright white under their feet. If you look closely, they are all thin and long luminous creatures.Looking at the top of the tree, something even bigger was leisurely swimming past.

How should I put it... there is a kind of creepy beauty.

The more lush the tree, the more this luminous substance; and those plants that have been withered for a long time have less luminous substance.

The lonely mountain seems to have been lifted off a layer of tulle, revealing its original vigorous appearance.

"That's what life is all about."

Yin Gu said.

For him, Yin Gu is the leader who opens a new door, and he may be regarded as a talking companion for Yin Gu.Although I don't know where Yin Gu is going up and down to the countryside all day long, but as long as he can answer his questions, Song Yang can follow him anytime.

"It's normal for you to say that you can't be killed no matter what. A man can't kill the wind passing through the window with a samurai sword, and he can't kill the sea with a gun. You are not in the category of life and death defined by humans from the beginning , so you have always 'existed'." Yin Gu said.

The insect master listened carefully to the torture and hunting that Songyang had suffered.

"Humans are cowardly creatures who instinctively eliminate dissidents, and so do insects. All creatures are trying their best to survive and fight for it until they die. There is no right or wrong when it comes to survival."

The light wine on the eyelids has failed.

But Songyang will never forget that the world is so grand.
