【Qijie】The Kingdom of Eternal Life

Qi Ya gritted his teeth, and violently pulled Xiao Jie from the edge of the dangerous cliff to behind him.In order to pull Xiaojie in, he used great strength, and both bodies staggered towards the direction of the cross.

But Xiaojie himself, who was about to die in Huangquan, still had no fluctuations on his face, and he didn't even blink his eyelashes. He raised his hand and passed through the high-altitude cold wind, and then he attacked Qi Ya's lifeblood with the momentum of thunder.Qi Ya didn't even have time to adjust, and Xiaojie's thumb pinched the deadliest aorta in the neck with great precision.

The aorta in the neck is the deadliest part of the human body.If you press it precisely, a person can be shocked by hypoxia in less than 1 minute, and can kill a person in 3 minutes.

But Qi Ya didn't panic, nor did he rashly attack Xiaojie to let him go.

His hand covering Xiaojie's shoulder moved up quickly, and at the moment when the two of them fell to sit down, he leaned over with lowered eyes, and kissed him tenderly.

He smelled the undried blood on the Sentinel's body, mixed with a gradual sense of dizziness, like a snake's red letter licking his brain, Qi Ya's white ear tips began to turn red due to lack of oxygen, but his lips turned slightly white.But he didn't care about anything, didn't say anything, and let the aorta struggle and throb wildly.Xiaojie's fingers were still pinched on his artery and he didn't move at all, but his elbows, arms and shoulders unexpectedly didn't use much strength, and they even looked obedient. Qiya put one hand on his shoulder, staggered along those few steps, and pulled him away. into his arms.

Xiaojie seemed to be taken aback.

The moment their lips and teeth meet, a ray of incandescent light sweeps from the distant sea horizon, and the sea breeze picks up the flames of the kingdom of sunrise from the other side of the ocean current, swallowing the whole body with a gesture more gentle than sleep but more proud. A sleeping continent.As if a divine bird from a distant star descended with radiant wings, the dim heaven and earth vaults came to life, shimmering, and the deep night transitioned to light blue as light as a whisper. Leaning on the bed between the gap with the dawn and spit out a few bubbles.

On the top of this extremely high tower, there is nothing superfluous except for the alternating dawns and stars. The light and shadow are divided and intertwined by the high cross, casting a slender cross shadow on the two people who are embracing each other. For a moment, it was as sacred as an oath.

The spiritual power of the guide poured out majesticly like a waterfall, like a tsunami overwhelming the sky, divided into thousands of spiritual threads, wrapped the sentinel in it, and easily passed through the completely tattered and riddled spirit Barrier, penetrate inside.

Xiaojie's hands loosened slowly, and he still put them there, without blinking his eyes, if it wasn't for the fact that there was still no emotion and no light in those eyes, he seemed almost at a loss.Perhaps it was because he had just come out of the medical cabin, and his black hair was still wet with moisture. The ends of the sentinel's bristling hair, which was always dissatisfied, were hesitantly slumped, drooping on the back of his neck, and blown up by the howling sea wind. It was drooping between the brows and eyes again, and it almost seemed that the facial features that had lost their expression and looked murderous had become childish again.

Qi Ya found that even though he was almost strangled to death by him, almost scared to death by him, and nearly pissed off by him, he couldn't help but feel that he was cute at this moment.

He vaguely let out a sigh like a chuckle, lightly rubbed Xiaojie's smooth forehead, and said vaguely: "I'm going in."

He closed his eyes, swam forward quickly along the spiritual thread connecting the two, and then fell.

The guide fell from the sky and landed on the dry, decaying soil.

He looked up in shock.

The pitch-black water surrounded the soil under his feet, there were no shadows in it, and nothing could be seen clearly, not even Qi Ya's own face could be reflected.Behind him are rotten trees, and the dark woods are like paradoxical ghostly shadows. It is too quiet here, as if there is an invisible bloody mouth, which opens its head into a watermelon cut in half, and greedily eats everything. Swallowed into the stomach, not even the wind and sound are left.

The world is dead silent, without light or stars, but that's not enough...

As far as he could see, the seemingly endless sea area was cut off in the middle, and was tightly wrapped by a large cloud of turbid and ominous black, and the water flow was indifferently swallowed by the black.The sky is like a broken bowl, and like a cut-out curtain full of big holes, black water pours from each hole into several upside-down water columns, and it is hard to tell what happened for a while. Is the water pouring down from the sky like the sky, or is it being sucked up into the sky.

This small, shattered spiritual realm has become a pot of boiled noodle soup with little water, and someone is tirelessly adding seasonings to it.

no life.There is no sound.Like a satirical mime.

That wasn't the case here.It used to be extremely blue and extremely green. This small island is like a round pearl surrounded by blue sea.It was once shaped as if a white whale fell from the sky and fell headlong into the grassland.It comes from an ordinary sea area on this planet, a long-missed youth among hundreds of millions of people, an eternal hometown full of light, heat and the sound of tides.

And because of the greed and desire of some people, it and its owner have endured pain that most people will never imagine in this life, like being bitten by a giant spider with venomous fangs, and it has become so fragmented and bizarre.

Qi Ya gritted his teeth.

Although he had psychological expectations before coming in, when he actually saw such a scene, he still found that it was much harsher than he imagined.

How to deal with it?

Although he... entered Xiaojie's closed mental landscape in this way, it was obvious that this place had been almost completely destroyed by that kind of mental toxin, and it would be completely annihilated into ashes in just a little more time.

At that time, I am afraid that Xiaojie really can't get better at all.

But Qi Ya would never allow this kind of thing to happen.

He walked around the spot a few times, carefully looked at every dead tree, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

Almost in the next second, Qi Ya stepped forward and took action. He walked to the edge of the dark water, and the next moment, Qi Ya jumped into the water without hesitation.

Darkness and coldness surrounded him like a shadow, like a tarsus worm. The desolate coldness seemed to come from outside the sky, and also seemed to come from the deep underground. There was no trace of life, which made people think of withering and death.

It was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't see anything clearly.He was falling fast, into the depths of the deep sea that no one knew about.In the depths of this fallen ocean current, who knows what might emerge?

But Qi Ya didn't panic, nor did he move rashly.Gale appeared beside him, the snow leopard's silvery white fur seemed to be shining in the dead darkness, it silently carried its master, and swam faster to a deeper place.

Qi Ya and his spiritual guide fell for an unknown amount of time, when a glimmer of light suddenly lit up in front of his eyes.

His pupils shrank slightly.

Xiaojie's spiritual guide has an inappropriate name relative to his identity.

Compared with names like Gale or Christine, the name he chose for the spiritual guide sounds a little too cute, and it can't hold back the dignity that a tower of S-level sentries should have. Not only can't it, it's even a little soft Duh, one can't help but wonder if its owner is also a child who hasn't grown up at heart.

Later, things became more complicated, and he forgot about it for a while.

But at this moment, he looked at the scene in front of him, opened his mouth, and tentatively asked the name:

"Boob?"

A two-person fox bear was firmly locked to the ground by a chain as thick as the mouth of a bowl.There were scars all over its body, and gurgling blood flowed out. The blood didn't dissipate when it flowed into the water, but condensed into tiny specks of pale golden fluorescence.It probably heard the call, and opened its mouth to roar at him that should have been deafening—it should have said that, naturally, because its voice was all swallowed up in the dead sea water.

Fox bears are tall and have a sense of smell and vision a hundred times sharper than ordinary humans. They are extremely explosive in an instant and can chase wild foxes or deer that are running away at a thousand miles. They are well-deserved kings of the forest.In most cases, they are gentle and rarely attack humans actively, but foxes and bears who are or their partners are pregnant or breastfeeding will become very special. They are sensitive, violent and irritable, and any creature that steps into their territory will Torn to shreds without hesitation.

Like—yeah, like Jay getting pushed to the bottom line.

Most of the fox bear's fur was white, perhaps because of the change caused by the toxin.It was bleeding, and it looked exhausted, but even from this distance, Kiya could see the pain and violence in its eyes.It vigilantly and sharply straightened its scarred back, carrying the heavy iron chains that weighed more than a thousand tons, like a majestic mountain standing in front of Qi Ya and Gaifeng, opened its mouth, and let out a silent roar.

I don't know if it was Qi Ya's illusion, he felt that it seemed to be preventing it from approaching behind it.

There is a trench behind it.what's inside

Qi Ya frowned, dived under the gust of wind, landed beside the fox bear, and walked towards it lightly.The king of the forest opened his mouth and roared vigilantly, waving his wounded claws continuously.But the snow leopard was obviously lighter and more agile than the scarred one. The snow king dodged those last-ditch attacks, walked to a not too far away, and lay down.

The snow leopard's tail moved, then flicked slowly.

The fox bear's movements slowed down. It looked at the flexible snow-white tail suspiciously, tentatively stretched out its claws to touch it, but was moved away lightly by the wind.

Qi Ya released his spiritual power, covering the two spiritual guides.Perhaps because of his familiarity with his mental power, Boubo finally seemed less tense. He relaxed slowly, his eyes fixed on the snow leopard's tail, and after a while, he lay down.

Under the comfort of the guide's spiritual power, it seemed much more docile and calm.

Qi Ya made a well-done gesture to Gaifeng, slowly walked around the fox bear, came behind it, and fell into the black abyss.

He fell in eternal night.

It's too dark here, as if the light will never come.

But Qiya knew that this place was once a sea area sung by light and eternity.It is blue and vast, connected to the sky, and the stay of cloudy days and nights will always be taken away by the bright and vast sunlight, even the deepest seabed does not have a little haze.

— just like its owner.

Just at this moment, a glimmer of light appeared in front of his eyes.

The same light as the fox and bear.

A tiny boy sits on the ground with his arms wrapped around his knees, his face buried in the crooks of his arms, curled into a small, world-denying mass.Crystal clear light golden spots are constantly emitting from his body, breaking into foam, illuminating this side of the bottom of the sea.It was as if a round of exhausted and dissipating sun lay quietly in the water. The light was dim and glimmering, like a flower that bloomed and withered quickly, sprinkled in the water, and soon disappeared.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the boy's figure is somewhat empty, it looks... as if he is about to disappear.

Qi Ya felt a giant hand squeezing his heart cruelly and viciously, as if he wanted to squeeze out the remaining fresh blood from that poor organ, he raised his hand with difficulty to hold the boy's shoulder , restrained his own strength and shook carefully: "...Xiaojie?"

After a while, the boy finally raised his head blankly.He looked very young, about 12 years old, his hair was wet with water, sticking between his eyebrows and eyes, his facial features were still immature, like a ignorant cub.

He's presumably part of Jack-Jack's conscious self—just like Kiya is now.

In the deepest part of the spiritual landscape, sentries and guides will have a conscious body that exists in their own form, reflecting a part of their true self that they are either conscious of or unconscious of.

Qi Ya suddenly thought of the scarred and exhausted fox bear above the abyss. It had been badly injured long ago, but it was still struggling to carry the heavy chains, its eyes were cracked, and it stood above them like a mountain. in front of it, trying to protect what is behind it.

Now he knew that it was trying to protect its owner.

What makes Qiya feel a little more at ease is that although this conscious Xiaojie is only 12 years old and looks completely out of shape, his eyes and face are full of emotions, not completely numb or empty.

Qi Ya said: "Little Jie!"

The 12-year-old Xiaojie narrowed his eyes, then slowly focused on Qi Ya's face. After a while, he said lightly, "Qi Ya?"

At that moment, Qi Ya suddenly felt the blood and air rushing into his lungs, and he realized almost belatedly that he hadn't breathed for a long time.

"It's me," he felt that the boy's body was as cold as ice: "...are you okay?"

Xiaojie blinked sleepily, as if he wasn't listening to him at all, he just tucked into his arms, "Why are you here?"

He muttered, "I haven't had time to apologize to you yet."

Qi Ya didn't realize why he was apologizing for a moment, but after a few seconds, he suddenly realized what he was talking about.

"I'm sorry, Kiya." Xiaojie whispered, and the boy dropped his head on his shoulder, "I'm sorry for making you sad."

If the situation didn't allow it, Qi Ya suspected that he might cry.

Xiaojie's consciousness seemed to be upside down. He paused for a while, as if he had forgotten what he had just said, and asked in a daze, "What are you doing here?"

I'm here to save you.Fool.Qi Ya thought through gritted teeth in his heart.

Misty golden fragments are constantly emerging from the boy's body, separating out and floating into the water, like sweet dreams falling into the depths, and like souls that light up the darkness and float away into the sky.Qi Ya didn't dare to think about what those golden light spots meant.He tried his best to calm down his chest, and pulled the corner of his lips to show a comforting smile: "Don't sleep, do you hear me?"

Xiaojie didn't speak.

"Boob is guarding you up there, how can you fall asleep?"

Xiaojie repeated slowly: "Boobu?" He seemed to wake up a little suddenly, thought for a while, and asked, "Is Bobu okay?"

"The blast is playing with it."

"I want to play too." Xiaojie said, "But now that Qi Ya is holding me, I am very satisfied."

He said he was going to sleep again, Qiya hugged him, shook his shoulder vigorously to prevent him from closing his eyes: "Open your eyes and look at me, Xiaojie."

Xiaojie was sleepy and tired, but he managed to open his eyes and looked at the silver-haired young man: "Huh?"

"Do you want to see the stars?" Chiya asked.

Xiaojie waved his hand, swaying the sea water with his fingers, and scattered golden debris during his movements: "Aren't these?"

"Go and see something better." Qi Ya grabbed his hand, "Come?"

Xiaojie looked at his face, it was really a beautiful face, with deep eyebrows, straight nose, beautiful silver eyes.In this never peaceful underground, this abrupt outsider is as dazzling as a lamp, a speck of light like gold powder falls on his eyelashes, the light shines in his eyes, he has the sea in his eyes, Mountains and rivers, there is an all-inclusive earth, and naturally there are stars.

He almost wanted to reach out and touch it.

Best looking I've ever seen.he thought.

But he still nodded and said, "Okay."

Qi Ya hugged him violently.

At that moment when the sea water poured back, Xiaojie felt dizzy all over the world. The black tide turned into a huge whirlpool, twisting the red sky and the dark gray earth into grotesque fragments.A pair of hands clasped tightly on his back, holding him in his arms, as if it was his most precious treasure, and he couldn't let go for a moment.

"Open your eyes." Qi Ya said softly and gently.

So Xiaojie slowly opened his eyes.

He sees stars.

He saw endless stars, and in that neon city, he had never seen so many stars.

Stars exploded around him, collapsing fearlessly into scorching white dwarfs.They stepped in the air, and the planets revolved around them day after day. The nebula was like a long crystal clear sand, and it was like a school of fish overwhelming the sky. There was a long echo from light-years away. Since ancient times, the melody has been passed down by word of mouth by hundreds of millions of creatures.

They stood in the middle of the Milky Way, and the long stars were broken into smoke and sand, like wandering souls, like the lights of thousands of families.

Here is the lonely starry sky, the colorful sea of ​​stars will never extinguish their light, they rotate above the head of every tiny creature on the earth, becoming the eternal truth.

Xiaojie lowered his head and found that his hands had become long and broad again from the tender palms of a 12-year-old child.He looked at Qi Ya, and found himself reflected in his pupils.

The silver-haired young man looked at him and smiled softly.There was a grand and splendid aurora passing behind him, and the comet was fleeting in it, rubbing white and blazing light trails on the retina, but it was still not as bright as the light in his eyes.

"This is my spiritual domain. I have given you many spiritual counseling, but I suddenly remembered that you have never been here."

Qi Ya said, and smiled lightly.

He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes grew like a dream catcher, and Xiaojie realized that the golden powder was still set on the tip of his eyelashes, like a star caught in a dream catcher.He has fair skin, rare hair color, and rare eye color, which is sharp and cold silver at first glance.Xiaojie smelled the light and cool breath on his body, like wine like ice, the smell of strange pheromones, the smell of snow in the deepest winter.

But now he doesn't look like Xue at all.

He is like a glass of warm milk.

The guide lowered his head, and the corner of his lips touched the sentry's forehead lightly.

"You're fine."

So Xiaojie looked over his shoulder and saw the whistling aurora rushing into the broken and half-remained planet under their feet, scattering the tattered sky, and plunging into a piece of sea water .

He belatedly realized that it was his own spiritual realm.

He lowered his head and glanced, there was a bright silver light coming out of his heart, passing all the way, not entering Qi Ya's heart.This once broken thread is as soft as silk, but heavier than Wanshan, and it unbreakably binds them together.

He stretched out his hand and held the lost and recovered light, like holding his lost and recovered dissipated heart.

Before meeting Qi Ya, Xiaojie was alone from beginning to end.Anyway, he has always been a warrior. If he is alone, even if he leaves, even if he has regrets, he will not have any inseparable concerns.

But it's different now.

If he fights, this line is his armor.If he is injured, this line is his good medicine.If he went to an unreachable distance...

Xiaojie raised his eyes and looked at Qi Ya's face.Those eyes were rare silver, but neither cold nor piercing. There was a slight smile on the corner of his lips, and the wind and frost on his shoulders melted away, turning into a crystal-clear glass color.

No matter how bright the sparks are, it can't compare to the Milky Way in the square inch of his eyes.

This person, like now, came to pick him up along this line.

How could he forget this.

Kiya - half of his soul.

Xiaojie looked over Qi Ya's shoulder and saw that magnificent dreamlike aurora built a magnificent bridge from the sky to the ocean, the galaxy filled the ocean, and the never-withering star frost sprinkled the dark water bottom, so finally, from now on, he never Another nightmare.
