[Windless] Mountain and sea

The two left the small restaurant, but saw that many people had already gathered outside.The not-so-wide stone road was crowded with people, and laughter was everywhere.Men, women and children, all dressed in festive costumes, held flowers and sacrificial wine in their hands, and walked towards the temple by the sea.

Feng Xi frowned and looked at the grand occasion in front of him, stepped back a few steps, and stood a little further away from the roadside.Unlimited speculation that he might not want to be in contact with humans, so he also stood beside him.

The laughing crowd gradually moved forward, and the two standing aside with expressionless faces seemed a little out of place.Soon, several children noticed them and whispered together for a while, and one of the bold boys took up the important task of communication and asked timidly, "Aren't the big brothers going to the festival?"

Feng Xi seemed to have not heard, still staring at the front coldly.Infinity also doesn't have much experience in dealing with children, so he just smiled slightly and said, "I'll go later."

"But... why doesn't big brother have any flowers?" The boy looked at his empty hands, "Did you lose them?"

Before Wu Wu could come up with a reason, another girl who was slightly taller had already stood on her toes and held the flowers in her hand in front of him: "Big brother, I will give you half of my flowers!"

"Use mine!"

"mine!"

Xu Shi smiled when he saw Infinity, and the children were no longer afraid, and started chattering, scrambling to hand the flowers to Infinity.Unlimited income is neither, nor is no income, it is a bit embarrassing for a while.Although Feng Xi on the side didn't look at them, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

"Big Brother, use my flowers!" A child managed to squeeze in front of Infinity. He was the youngest of the group of children, and around his neck was a long-life lock with a bell, engraved with patterns of sea waves, " Because my dad has seen Empress Sea God!"

"You've said it a hundred times..."

The others laughed happily, and the child's face was flushed red: "It was the typhoon before, my father and second uncle both saw it, and the empress was exactly the same as in the portrait, with a fish's tail, separated by a sword. Splash, send them back to shore!"

Hearing this description, Unlimited's heart moved, and he asked, "What does the Sea Goddess look like?"

"The Sea God Empress lives in the sea, she is the most beautiful person in the world!"

"The empress will bless us!"

"When the fishing boat encounters a storm, the empress will open up a calm road!"

"Your Majesty, you can also directly stop the heavy rain!"

The children were chattering and discussing, they had already forgotten the matter of scrambling to send flowers just now, and they didn't notice the changes in the expressions of the two adults next to them.

"...It's a goblin."

Infinite murmured.Feng Xi suddenly turned around and strode towards the direction of the crowd: "Go and have a look."

The place of the Sea God Ceremony is located at a corner extending into the sea, and at the end is the statue of the Sea God Empress.The two looked up and saw that the ancient statue was five or six meters high. Although the facial features had been eroded by the sea wind, they could still see the benevolent outline. The pointed ears were decorated with pearls and shells. Her curly long hair hangs down to the ground, and a fish tail is exposed under the skirt. She sits on a throne made of waves, with all kinds of flowers piled up beside her.

"It turns out...it's really a goblin." Unlimited's tone was a little surprised, "I've never heard of it before..."

"Why, you really think that the guild hall is omnipotent. Is it the king of the world?" Feng Xi glanced at the devout crowd and sneered, "The 'Sea God Empress' has exposed her identity in front of so many humans. Master Wu is planning to The representatives of the guild hall took her back?"

Infinity ignored his sarcasm, and just shook his head slightly: "I haven't seen such a scene for a long time."

His tone was somewhat emotional and nostalgic, and Feng Xi couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

The grand ceremony, the joyful crowd, the speech of good weather, the aroma of sacrificial wine, the whisper of prayer, the goblin who is honored as "god"... The scattered pictures in memory come one after another, and they gradually overlap with the scene in front of them , causing Feng Xi to be in a trance for a while.

The two of them were already in the crowd, pushed forward by the team, and when they came back to their senses, they had already arrived in front of the statue.Feng Xi spread out his palm, and a puff of emerald green leaves sprouted from his palm.Different from the quick life and quick death of attack spells in ordinary times, he carefully controlled the speed of spiritual power release at this moment, and then stretched out his hand in front of Infinity: "Here, your flower."

Unlimited for a moment: "...Thank you."

"Don't dare to be that." Feng Xi smiled narrowly, "Master Unlimited really caters to both men and women, suitable for all ages, and is so popular wherever he goes."

Unlimited coughed lightly, obviously a little embarrassed, and reached out to take the flowers handed by the other party.The ectoplasm-born plant grew slender buds between his fingers, and in a moment it burst into deep purple flowers, swaying in the sea breeze—the color of Wind's Breath hair.

Like those fishermen, the two bowed in front of the Sea Goddess in turn, and then offered flowers reverently.This grand sacrifice lasted for a long time, until someone blew the conch trumpet and everyone poured sacrificial wine into the sea, and the sacrifice of this day was considered to be over.

It was already late at night, but the crowd still had no intention of dispersing, and instead regrouped in the square by the sea.That is the place where the villagers usually organize to watch movies, but now it has been temporarily built as a stage.Infinity only looked at the crowds in front of him, but was suddenly grabbed by the wrist by Feng Xi.

"Come here."

Infinitely unknown, so he dragged him outside.The two squeezed out of the crowd, the target of the wind breath turned out to be a dilapidated fishing boat, most of which had been buried in the sand, the mast in the middle was still standing slanted, and the dilapidated sail was fluttering like a flag.

Feng Xi let go of his wrist, jumped onto the transom with a light leap, and waved his hand downward: "This angle is the best, infinite, come up!"

Among the thousands of lights, his smile was so bright and clear that it suffocated infinitely.

The two sat side by side on the mast of the fishing boat, condescendingly looking down at the stage not far away.Infinity looked at it intently for a while, and probably said that the evil dragon was raging, and there was a violent storm, and countless fishermen died in the sea.At this time, the Goddess of the Sea is holding an ice sword in her hand to slay the evil dragon, calm the wind and rain, save the fishermen, and protect the land and water here.

"Will Master Infinity report to the guild hall about this Empress of the Sea God?"

"Yes." Unlimited replied, he paused, and added, "I will also report the Sea God Festival and the villagers' remarks, the guild hall is not unreasonable."

Feng Xi hooked the corners of his lips noncommittally, and didn't answer any more.Until the end of this song, in the thunderous applause, Infinity turned his head to look at his focused profile, and said softly: "I thought you hated humans."

Feng Xi didn't look back, still looking in the direction of the stage.

"Is the human world not good?"

"not good."

"Human beings have many convenient and interesting things..." Infinite thought about his words, "Many elves in the guild hall like it very much."

"Really?" Feng Xi stood up holding the mast, "Lord Infinity thinks that I hate humans because I have never been in contact with them?"

The cold night wind passed by mightily, blowing up the big monster's long dark purple hair.He looked down at the strange lights on the stage, as if the light and shadows of the past century-in the beginning, human beings felled trees to build houses, felled wood and burned firewood, and they also merged into the forest.Goblins don't reject these outsiders, and they certainly bring a lot of fun.It was a good time, but no matter how good it was, it was just a "was".

"At what price are those convenient and interesting things of human beings bought, Master Infinity doesn't know?"

Looking at his expression infinitely, he shook his head: "Prejudice will only lead to deeper misunderstandings... Feng Xi, you should look at the current human beings."

"Where should I go? In the prison of Bingyun City?" Feng Xi thought it was a little funny, "Or is it that Mr. Unlimited wants to let me go?"

Unlimited was silent for a moment: "If you no longer hate humans, then naturally you are not the enemy of the guild hall."

After all, he didn't wait for Feng Xi's answer.The back of the big monster standing in front of the wind is thin and stubborn, always out of time, always going upstream, the high-spirited smile just a moment ago is like an illusion.

Feng Xi stared at the dark sea in the distance. Many years ago, at such a late night, he left Longyou with his companions in a panic.At that time Luo Zhu was still half a boy, he tugged at his sleeve and asked him, Fengxi, will we come back?

will be back.He said so.

——For a hundred years of wandering, why do trees turn into salary, fertile wasteland, how can the city go through the city forever.Why do goblins hide and leave their homes, and why do human beings thrive and live and work in peace and contentment.

One day, they will return to their hometown.
