East boundary

When I woke up again, it was already dawn the next day.Thranduil opened his eyes, and met a pair of misty white big eyes. Without thinking about it, he knew it was the curious baby of the sea boy.

He poked Thranduil with his index finger, and then showed a surprised expression: "It can move..."

Thranduil realized that he was just a three-inch peacock now.He couldn't help sighing softly in his heart, looking around, this is not the devil world, probably on the small island before, he was lying on a thick layer of leaves, next to a gurgling stream, the breath of green leaves and clear water always makes people feel peace of mind.

The undersea boy stared at him curiously, holding the baby in his arms, but Cang Qi was not there.

"Where's Cang Qi?"

The boy under the sea was very excited: "Ah! He can talk..."

"..." Thranduil held his forehead, not intending to continue asking.

The curious boy stretched out his fingers and carefully stroked his hair and the hem of his clothes.Without blinking, he stared at his exquisite facial features and the gemstone ring on his hand carefully, and exclaimed from time to time.If he could, he would definitely hug Thranduil up and rub him.

Thranduil looked up at the sky, and there was a strange light on the land in the sky. The side facing the sky was a dark demonic energy, and the side facing the sea was a faint fluorescent light, a bit like spiritual energy, but not exactly, but Just imagine how a continent has mountains and rivers growing on both sides?

When Cang Qi came back, he was holding sweet water and wild fruits in his hands. Although he didn't need to eat grains, the elves, sea birds, and the baby all needed nutrition.Unknowingly, he has learned to take care of others and consider others, which feels amazing.

Cang Qi put the Hui Gan Shui in front of Thranduil, it was a bamboo tube, filled with pure dew, shining with a faint aura.Thranduil looked at the waist-high bamboo tube amusedly, and said, "Cang Qi, I am very grateful to you, but do you want me to drink all this water..."

Cang Qi said in a daze: "Of course not, you may have stained something in the Demon Realm, taking a bath with this may help you get back to normal."

"Em...thank you."

The undersea boy was eating peaches at the side, and suddenly he slurred a word, and Cang Qi laughed after hearing it.

Thranduil had an intuition that it was not a good thing to say, and asked, "What did he say?"

Cang Qi said frankly: "He said, you can wash while drinking."

"..." Thranduil's face darkened instantly.

The undersea boy also knew that he had said the wrong thing, swallowed, and moved away with the baby in his arms.

Cang Qi looked at him, couldn't help but deepened his smile, and said: "The sun is coming out soon, the little elf hasten to wash up."

Thranduil looked around, seeing that there was no shelter, he said, "Wash here?" He doesn't like taking a bath in broad daylight.

Cang Qi understood what he meant: "Wait." He moved a few stones and piled them around the bamboo tube, leaving a gap, and then used branches and leaves to support the stones to form a green simple roof, and the gap became a green roof. a door.

Thranduil walked inside, and the morning light slanted down from among the branches and leaves. Instead of looking gloomy and dull, there was an inexplicable sense of security.Cang Qi even found a small stone and placed it beside the bamboo tube as a stepping stone for him.

So careful, so gentle.

Thranduil unloaded his weapon, knife and dagger, took off his silver robe and light boots, stepped on the stones, and stepped into the temporary bathtub. The water of the earth washed away the filth on his body, and the source of life kissed his skin lightly.The sweet water full of spiritual power surrounded him, like the beautiful breath of the giant green forest, Thranduil even felt that his body became lighter and his soul was about to fly.

Standing beside the stream, facing the morning sun, Cang Qi spread out his palms, revealing a beautiful circular pattern, faintly visible in the dawn, shining blood-red light.There was no joy on his face, only silence.

A black butterfly flew to his hand from the other side of the stream, fluttering its wings on the palm pattern.

It stays on it for a long time, as if it is a fragrant flower.

Cang Qi's vision was a bit blurred, he blinked.

Thranduil took a bath and dressed neatly. When he walked out of the small stone house, he saw Cang Qi staring at the butterfly in a daze. His back was smooth and calm, neither arrogant nor frustrating. , not to mention the arrogance of King Xi Zhan who stood proudly, he just stood there quietly, the wind blowing away the flowers, standing still, as if he wanted to merge with the sky and the earth.

Thranduil even felt that the sky would turn into blue fluorescent light at any time, scattered in the sky, floating in the wild, illuminating the heaven and earth until the end.

A butterfly flutters in its hand, the sky does not move, and the butterfly does not leave.Time seemed to stand still. Thranduil could imagine Cang Qi looking at the butterfly and smiling gently, just like he was to himself. He always released his enthusiasm and smile without hesitation, but this enthusiasm seemed to be separated by Difficult to cross the gap, the gully is a boundless river called time.

Thranduil suddenly realized that he was no different from a butterfly in Cang Qi's eyes.In Cang Qi's eyes, there is no difference between living beings living in luxuriant life and dying in the morning and evening...

The wind blew, startled the butterflies, and lifted the elf king's wet blond hair.

Inexplicable emotions stuck in my heart, like a weed.The Elf King is just one of the many beings --- in the years when the sky was as vast as a nebula.

It wasn't until later that he realized how important he was to Cang Qi. Of course, this is a later story.

Wait, stop these inexplicably depressed emotions, now he has a lot of problems to solve urgently, shouldn't he be awkward like a child who can't get candy, this is really enough, Thranduil frowned again.

"Elf."

Thranduil came back to his senses, Cang Qi was walking towards this side, he knelt down and looked down at the elf's tiny body, with a regretful expression: "It seems that my method is useless."

Thranduil regained his composure and looked calm: "Yes, it doesn't seem to be working." He didn't have much hope, and said, "However, just taking a bath is a beautiful thing in the world. I feel very relaxed now." He thanked again : "Thank you, Cang Qi."

Cang Qi stretched out his hand and let him go to his palm: "Think of a way, little elf."

Thranduil stood on his hand again, and also saw the red mark on the opponent's palm,

"Cang Qi, what is this?" Standing on the pattern, he felt a faint red light underneath.He remembered very clearly that this was the circular pattern that appeared when Cang Qi cast a spell in mid-air that night.

"A curse."

Thranduil frowned and looked up at him: "What?"

Cang Qi sat on the stone by the stream: "Because I used the blood spell, which is a forbidden technique, and I will be cursed."

Thranduil's expression became serious: "What will happen then?"

Cang Qi seemed very calm: "I don't know either. There are many kinds of curses. The last time I used blood to invoke a curse was a long time ago."

Thranduil simply sat on his hand and asked, "Then what was the last curse?"

Cang Qi couldn't see his serious face clearly, as if he thought of something funny, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "You must not have imagined that I turned into a grain of sand and landed on the coastline."

Thranduil was a little surprised: "Then how did you change back?"

"Time has no opponent. No matter how powerful the curse is, it will wear it down."

"How long was that?"

"It's only about 100 years, I don't know."

"...that looks worse than I do now."

Cang Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "No, although I have become a dust, the whole world has expanded, and my eyes have never been so clear as before."

He leaned closer to Thranduil to make his sight clearer, his handsome face and pale golden hair were all in his eyes, his eyebrows were like black phoenix feathers, and the starlight falling into the sea became his eyes, Although his body has become smaller, his coldness and aloofness have not been weakened in the slightest.

Thranduil also looked up into his bright eyes, only to hear Cang Qi's low voice: "I saw the sea rushing in, and there were ten thousand small water droplets in the splashed water droplets, and there were many transparent water droplets in the small water droplets. Every time they are pushed ashore, they start to make noise, and occasionally kiss me quietly on the cheek."

His voice was clean, with a warm smile, and his low voice was like a sea breeze, as if he didn't want to wake up the flowers or leaves in the forest. Thranduil felt as if there was light blue sea water flowing in his ears. The sandy beach leaves behind waves of wonderful echoes.

Thranduil said softly: "Who would have thought that there would be Cang Qi living in the sand."

Cang Qi's vision became more and more blurred, he put Thranduil on his shoulders, and continued: "The sea sent me to the woods, and the fallen leaves covered me. I saw white clouds and snow falling inside the leaves. They are slowly falling, and finally melt into the soil. Ant fairy lives in the flower stamen on the tree, it is very lonely, has no friends and family, it starts to sing every sunset, the singing is very small, but very pleasant."

Thranduil was fascinated: "It seems that this curse is not bad for you at all."

"Yes, in fact, we have always been in nature, but we rarely feel its beauty."

Thranduil stood on his shoulder, facing his ear: "Cang Qi, you will always be so different. But I don't want you to turn into sand again, so I'm afraid I won't have good eyesight to find you."

Cang Qi felt the breath in his ears like a breeze, he moved his eyelashes, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I can live in your eyes."

"..." Thranduil never expected that Cang Qi would actually make a joke.

Cang Qi is very serious: "There are seas and stars there."

The author has something to say: Really, I like Cang Qi very much.
