[Windless] Mountain and sea

It was another early morning, and the golden red sun shone through the shade of the thick green trees into the forest, spreading the thin light of the stars on the grass.Unlimited woke up early as usual, got up and added some firewood to the bonfire, and looked up to see Feng Xi still leaning on a tree branch with his eyes closed to adjust his breath.They have been in Chuanyang for several days, and the other party sleeps on the tree like this most of the time, and it is not known whether it is the habit of the wood-type goblin, or simply wants to stay away from him.

Looking at the big monster's half-hidden figure among the branches and leaves, Infinity was a little lost in thought for a moment.

I think he has traveled through the world for more than four hundred years, and he has never had anything to worry about.When the guild hall first ordered him to hunt down Feng Xi, he just regarded him as an ordinary wanted criminal.Even after decades of entanglement, he pushed Feng Xi to a dead end countless times, and was cunningly escaped by him countless times, Infinity never tried to understand him.

Until they meet on an outlying island, one person and one demon are forced to travel together, embarking on a long journey of extradition between the square-inch raft and the vast sky and sea.Watching Wuwu's tenacity in protecting the little tree during the fight, and his sadness when talking about his companions and hometown, although it can't be called moving, there are some strange feelings in his heart.

Afterwards, there was the grand Sea God Ceremony.Feng Xi's concentration when watching the human drama, and that fleeting bright smile, made Infinite vaguely feel that maybe the other party doesn't hate humans as rumored.

——It is neither incurable, but there is a possibility of transformation, and the journey is still very long.

Feng Xi has never shown any intention of resisting or escaping. It is completely different from the troublesome prisoners that Infinity usually encounters, and his behavior can be called well-behaved.Of course he guessed what Feng Xi must be planning, such a submissive gesture might just be waiting for an opportunity.Infinity doesn't think he can escape, this is the arrogance of the strongest enforcer.

But he never thought about it, and before he could figure out how to persuade the other party to turn back, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse due to the poaching tragedy.It was his dereliction of duty as an executor to take the shot in infinite desperation, and it was impossible to say that he was not guilty.Afterwards, Feng Xi woke up in his psychic space, and broke out the fiercest resistance since he was caught. He would rather lose his cultivation life than be taken back to the hall by him.

Contrary to his usual forbearance, the big demon's determination made him astonished.

He probably knew some of Feng Xi's obsession with his hometown, but he never expected it to reach such an extent.For the first time in his life, he wanted to get to know someone else, he wanted to know what the other person was thinking.

——As an opponent, as an enemy, as the executor of the guild hall and the top of the most wanted list, as an ordinary human being and an ordinary fairy.

He was too focused on it for too long, until Feng Xi jumped to the ground, and waved his hands in front of his eyes a few times in dissatisfaction: "Hey, you burned the meat, and the smoke floated up the tree!"

"……what?"

Infinity suddenly came back to his senses, only then did he notice that the things he had put on the bonfire had been smoky black.Feng Xi looked at his expression, and teased: "This is the new dish of Mr. Infinity, coke?"

The strongest executor who was once again defeated by cooking rolled up his sleeves: "...I will try again."

Feng Xi twitched his lips in obvious distrust. With the experience of the past few days, if he still believes in infinite cooking, he would have lived for more than 200 years in vain.

Twenty minutes later, Infinity handed over a fat, fat bird with a determined expression: "This time it will definitely work."

Feng Xi's suspicious eyes lingered back and forth on Infinity and the grilled skewers, but this time it was not confused, and it even smelled a little fragrant.However, after weighing it in his mind for a while, he still regretted his life and said, "You eat first."

Infinitely following the goodness, he took a big bite—then his expression froze, and the unswallowed piece of meat just fell to the ground.He stared at the skewer in his hand, and said in an indescribable tone, "...what kind of bird is this?"

"Wild pheasant, the meat is tender and delicious, and it is a common game. And," Feng Xi replied fluently, emphatically reading out the last eight characters, "The cooking is simple and easy to master."

"……Oh."

It is said that the morning glow does not go out, and the sunset glow travels thousands of miles. Just after noon this day, the sky gradually became gloomy, and soon it began to rain.Feng Xi quickly built a shed with branches to keep out the rain. Although he couldn't get water, but his injuries hadn't healed yet, this kind of weather was extremely difficult.

Unlimited looked at him sitting aside tossing and turning, frowning, and kindly asked, "Go to my space to avoid the rain?"

"No." Feng Xi flatly refused, "In the space, I am not at your mercy."

"Outside the space, you are still at my mercy."

He took it for granted, Feng Xi gritted his teeth in secret: "Master Unlimited, has no one said before that you are very good at chatting to death?"

"No one talked to me before."

"..." Feng Xi decided not to speak.

After being silent for a while, Unlimited suddenly spoke in a calm tone: "The speed of your wound healing has slowed down."

The other party must have seen it before saying that, so Feng Xi didn't try to refute anything.A trick that is too simple really can't be used a second time, even if the opposite is infinite.

It's just that he waited for a while, but there was no iron plate or other punishments waiting for him.The strongest executor was still sitting beside him motionless, staring blankly at the rain that was blown skewed by the wind.Just when Feng Xi was feeling uneasy, he suddenly heard Unlimited ask: "Why are you so resistant to going to the guild hall?"

Feng Xi wanted to laugh a little: "I know that there will be no return, so it's strange if I don't resist?"

"The club has always been tolerant towards goblins, if you are willing to let go of your prejudice..."

"Helping humans expel the prejudices of their own kind?"

Unlimited felt that their conversation had reached the same dead end again. He was not good at words, and he basically had no experience in persuasion.So he sighed with some headache: "Don't you just want a place to live?"

The other party's tone was genuinely incomprehensible, Feng Xi looked at Infinite's calm face, and finally smiled slowly: "Is this the arrogance of Infinite Master as a 'human being', or as an 'guild hall executive'?" ?”

Infinity did not see Feng Xi laughing a few times in total, and most of them were not at good times, either with sarcasm in his words, or with an angry smile - but now, the big demon only looked at him lightly, with a tired and desolate smile.

Infinity felt that he had caught something at that moment, but it disappeared with the gradually fading smile.He was silent for a few minutes, and finally spoke again: "The hut in the spirit space is my former residence."

"I got it."

"Nothing remains the same, you and I are the same." Infinite said slowly, "My hometown is not just a place, but also people from my hometown, or... the same kind."

"Same kind?" Feng Xi raised his eyebrows, "Then Master Infinite, as a human being, why did you become the executor of the Demon Spirit Guild Hall?"

Unlimited startled.

Feng Xi has undoubtedly known him, much more than he knows Feng Xi.But at this moment, the big demon looked at his expression and said softly: "The people, cities, and even the country you want to protect are gone tomorrow morning."

"Then move forward." Infinite's eyes were calm and serious, "Guard what I can, that's all."

"It's the same with me and my companions - fight for what we can, and do whatever it takes."

"Do you not hesitate..." Infinity recalled the companions in the other party's mouth with these words, but suddenly remembered some tiny details that had been overlooked, "Your brothers also include that kitten? Such a weak demon power , he is not yet of age."

Feng Xi lowered his gaze: "We have only known each other for a long time, and he doesn't know anything, and I hope that Lord Infinity will be merciful."

"He is indeed not in the materials of the guild hall. A young goblin is willing to fight for you after only knowing him for a long time. What methods did you use to make him give up on you?"

Infinite's words were rare and sharp, but Feng Xi was unmoved: "His name is Xiao Hei, the forest he lives in has been destroyed by humans, and he is homeless. I took him in."

Unlimited shook his head: "Although I don't know which sentence it is, but Feng Xi, you are lying."

"Master Unlimited, if you don't believe me, you can prove it yourself."

"It's not a lie, that's because of other reasons. Your mood is different from just now."

"..."

"why?"

"..."

Feng Xi still didn't answer, but the calm expression on his face was peeled off like a shattered mask.Not to mention Unlimited's keen intuition, anyone can see that his emotions are fluctuating violently at this moment.Seeing that he still didn't speak, Wu Wu's tone became cold: "Feng Xi, what are you planning?"

After being silent for a long time, Feng Xi finally raised his head and let out a soft breath: "I should say...has Mr. Infinity finally become smart?"

His tone was light and airy, without any emotion, but Unlimited looked directly into the big demon's eyes, and said word by word: "You have never hurt a fairy."

The wind trembled slightly.

The calm pretense that he barely maintained collapsed in an instant, and he knew that Infinity was looking at him momentarily, trying to read the secret that had to be concealed from every subtle reaction and expression.

Yet he couldn't control it.The surging guilt overwhelmed him like a tide, Feng Xi could only cover his face in embarrassment, not wanting Wu Wuxian to see his wavering and struggling at the moment.

In the darkness, Feng Xi remembered that dream again.

In the huge and quiet ruins of Longyou, the white sky without sunlight, the little black cat curled up in his arms, and his body gradually turned into a floating spirit.

The great pain and confusion tore him apart, making him almost out of breath.One end of the balance is the long-term stand and perseverance, and the other end is the deep obsession and the expectations of the partners.

However, he has thought about it for too long. From the day he decided to embark on this road, he has done everything he can to achieve his goal—even if he has to sacrifice his life, dignity, bottom line, and conscience.

On this road, he has no way to retreat, and he will not regret it.

"Wind breath."

A hand rested on his shoulder, a human, warm and firm hand.Da Yao's body froze suddenly, but he didn't avoid it. He understood that this was the most out-of-the-ordinary consolation that Infinity could do: "It's still too late to turn around now."

After an unknown amount of time, Feng Xi finally lowered his hand to cover his face bit by bit.

"Master Unlimited, in your opinion, am I just an old-fashioned person who is obsessed with obsession?" He looked over the mountains, the dim sky, and the centuries in front of him, looking towards a place far away, "On the contrary, I have to travel farther away. Everyone is far away, so it is possible to fight for a home for them."

A bolt of lightning pierced the sky at the right time, followed by billowing thunder, a sudden gust of wind rose, and the grass fell low.The increasingly dense rain lines connected the sky and the earth into one piece, Wu Wuxian saw Feng Xi slowly straighten his back, and the clear bridge of his nose divided his face into bright and dark.

"What we want is not a place to live." The big demon's tone was gentle but decisive, like the sound of wind piercing through heavy rain, "It's a free life, no need to hide in the crowd, no need to deliberately conceal abilities - it belongs only to the goblin itself, Home."

"……I see."

Infinite murmured.

The rain gradually subsided, and the dark clouds piled up overhead gradually dispersed, revealing the indigo sky of the evening.It was in the midst of the smoke and dust, the heavy light and shadows, that for the first time, he felt that he had surpassed all prejudice, arrogance, pretense and forbearance, and touched the truth deep in Feng Xi's heart.

The wind and rain are like darkness, and the sky is beginning to see.
