Chapter 33: The Sea of Rebirth
In the southernmost part of the world, there is an endless ocean.
The remnant sun is like blood, the clouds are changing, and the seagulls are flying.
On the coast, the three figures seem so small, and the waves are so magnificent.
Little Eleven looked at the sea and said, "There are many legends and poignant and moving stories in the sea of rebirth. The obsession of the bearer of the deceased in this sea is said to be condensed into the sea because the obsession does not disperse. There are also sharks in the sea of death. ”
At this time, Liu Xingyan said: "There are sharks in the South China Sea, and the water dwells like fish, and they do not waste their weaving achievements, and their eyes can cry beads." ”
"Do you also know the legend of the merman?" asked Xiao Eleven rhetorically.
Liu Xingyan stared at the sparkling sea, listened to the sound of the waves, and said: "When I was a child, my mother once told the legend about the merman, but I didn't expect that the South China Sea refers to this sea of rebirth. ”
"You wait here first, I'll go to the sea to find the specific location of the Afterlife Island, and then I'll come back and take you there. "The monkey flew away and flew out to sea.
"Speaking of the island of the afterlife, because of the abyss of the black water, there are very few creatures on that island, and the yin qi gathers. If an ordinary person lands on that island, at least the yin qi will invade the body and cause a serious illness, or the worst will become a madman if the soul does not gather and the body will become crazy. So the island of the dead became a desert island, and no one dared to go to it for many years. Little Eleven said about the island of the dead, squatted down and gently picked up the seawater, feeling the coolness of the water, closed his eyes and continued: "Do you know, it is said that every drop of water here represents the obsession of a deceased. ”
Liu Xingyan was curious, so he also followed the example of Little Eleven, picked up the seawater, closed his eyes and felt it carefully.
At first, he only felt that the sea water was cool and pleasant to the touch. But gradually, he suddenly felt as if someone was calling, but there was no sound. This is a very strange feeling, Liu Xingyan thought to himself, could it be that this is the obsession of those who have died?
A thought of thousands of rivers and mountains, a thought of extinguishing the vicissitudes of life.
People have obsessions, the sea changes, if there is no obsession, reincarnation can be peaceful.
Somehow, Liu Xingyan suddenly felt a sense of desolation, as if it was a call from a long, long time, it was a call that belonged to ancient times, trying to awaken somewhere deep in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the golden ring he picked up when he first met the monkey, and when he thought of the golden circle, he remembered the unfamiliar faces and images that appeared in his mind after wearing the golden circle.
"They are...... Ancient gods and demons...... Their obsession is in ...... "Liu Xingyan suddenly opened his eyes, as if he was frightened, and immediately threw away the puddle of water in his hand, looking terrified.
Xiao Eleven looked at him curiously and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Xingyan wiped the cold sweat on his face, palpitated, and said uneasily: "There seems to be an obsession in this sea that I dare not listen to, which makes me feel inexplicable fear and despair. ”
"It's really strange, why can't I feel anything?" Xiao Eleven squatted down and tried to hold a puddle of water, the sea was cold, and there was no other feeling.
"There is no special feeling in holding the seawater, are you hallucinating in your heart because you miss your sister and children excessively? I guess it must be so, in those days you drank every day, drunk every day, and dreamed of death, and good people would go crazy. Little Eleven reprimanded.
Liu Xingyan's face was solemn, he knew that the strange feeling just now was definitely not an illusion, and there must be some unknown secrets in the sea of death.
A moment later, the monkey flew from the sea and shouted "let me go" to the two, and Xiao Shiyi and Liu Xingyan flew up and followed the monkey.
The three of them came to the island of the afterlife, which was deserted and cold. The ground is covered with black rocks and sand, and it is difficult to find even a single grass.
There is no life on the island, and it is desolate.
"Do you two know where the Blackwater Abyss is?" the monkey asked.
Xiao Eleven looked at the monkey curiously and asked, "You have great powers, haven't you found the abyss of black water?"
The monkey shook his head and said, "I just searched the whole sea and found that there is only this island, so this must be the island of the afterlife." But I searched around the island and found no deep pools. ”
The three of them were looking for the island, and suddenly heard a faint girl's singing voice in the distance:
"The waves are surging~
Drowning the wheel of time~
Lao Yan flew separately~
Flew over the red dust billowing ~
I yearn for it in my heart~
The mist of water transforms the floating dust~
I don't see the flowers~
Relatives can be seen in the dream~
Isolated Island Zero Zero~
Far away ~ missing ~ no one ~"
Hearing this song, Liu Xingyan's eyes widened and searched around, shouting, "It must be a child."
It is the child who sings the child who sits alone on a lonely island and watches the sea. Tong'er is now eight years old, and although her voice is still childlike, it is no longer as immature as when she was a child.
Although Tong Er was eight years old, she was thin and small, dressed in dirty rags, and her little feet were not wearing socks, but were worn as shoes in a pair of shells, and the tattered clothes on her body were too small to fit, but she still tried her best to use them to wrap her cold and shivering body.
The three monkeys followed the song to find Tong'er, and at this moment Tong'er turned his back to the three. Hearing the footsteps, she turned her emaciated, pale, sickly little face to look at the three of them, timidly silent, her big eyes full of fear, and abruptly stopped singing.
Seeing the flickering wounds in Tong'er's torn clothes, Liu Xingyan's heart hurt as if it was torn.
"Tong'er, daddy is late, blame daddy, blame daddy!" Liu Xingyan immediately ran over, wanting to touch his daughter's poor face.
However, Tong'er hid timidly, and said fearfully: "You are not my father, my father is him...... He's not as good-looking as you. ”
Looking at Tong'er's pitiful appearance, Xiao Shiyi walked over with tears in his eyes, squatted down, and said softly to Tong'er: "Tong'er, we have seen it before, have you forgotten me, we said okay, my aunt will take your father to the Rakshasa Kingdom to pick you up." ”
Tong Er looked at Xiao Eleven's face carefully, looked at it for a long time, and finally showed a smile, and immediately cheered like a bird.
"Auntie, you are auntie, I remember you, I remember you!" Tong Er threw herself into Xiao Shiyi's arms and laughed happily.
Little Eleven burst into tears, looking at Tong Er still wearing the tattered clothes of his childhood, there was no good place on his body, and he was full of shocking injuries.
Liu Xingyan clenched his fists, his whole body trembled, and he roared: "Old demon woman Qingshui, get out of here, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to pick your skin!"
Listening to Liu Xingyan's roar, Tong'er looked over in surprise, showed an unbelievable look, and exclaimed: "He is really Daddy, this is Daddy's voice!"
The father and daughter finally recognized each other, Liu Xingyan held his daughter's little hand, trembling and speechless.
At this moment, Sun Wukong's eyes were cold, and he exerted his fiery eyes, looking for Qing Shui's hiding place. Even Sun Wukong, when he saw the tragic situation on Tong'er, he was angry, and he must destroy the old witch!
