I don’t know who the other party is, I don’t even know what its name is.
But he recognized the other person, or he had had contact with this mysterious woman.
It was when he and Old Man Zao were heading to the City of Wasted Death that Old Man Zao brought the mysterious woman he met.
Thinking of this, he knew what the other party was afraid of asking.
He looked a little embarrassed. After all, so much time had passed and he had basically forgotten all about what the woman had asked him to do. He only said that he was looking for someone.
I was given a painting and a paper crane.
He was thrown into Meatball's mouth. If it weren't for the scene of the other party across the screen today, I might not be able to remember it at all.
Of course, it's my fault that I can't remember it, but I can't say that when it comes to my mouth.
Ding Xiaoyi thought about his words, stepped forward and said, "I thought I accidentally offended the princess, but it turned out to be you."
The woman behind the screen hummed slightly, but said nothing, as if waiting for the next step.
"I'm also looking for what you asked me to do. I went overseas some time ago and traveled around a lot overseas, but there was no news. I came back again and went to a foreign land, but there was no news. After a while, I will come back.
I plan to visit other places.”
Anyway, don't worry about whether people can find it or not. Ding Xiaoyi just said one thing, I have been looking for it and I have searched in many places. You can't blame me if you can't find it.
Sure enough, a satisfied voice finally came out from behind the screen: "Well, that's all. I have nothing to do. I just remembered and asked you to come and ask."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the maid on the side brought a wooden box up to him.
The box was opened and there was a fruit inside.
The fruit is shaped like a lychee, but is about the same size as an apple. Its golden skin seems to be sprinkled with a layer of blue crystal powder, flashing with little bits of fluorescence.
"This fruit is for you. It is a reward for you. From now on, every time you look for it for a period of time, come to the city of Fusi to look for me. No matter whether you find it or not, I will reward you."
Is there such a good thing??
If you don’t want it, you don’t want it. Whoever wants it for free doesn’t want it.
Ding Xiaoyi's eyes lit up and he put the box away without any politeness.
"Don't worry, princess, I will definitely take this matter to heart." He repeatedly patted his unfounded conscience and assured him, yes, take it to heart. You can't find it anyway, it depends on fate.
After saying that, he was ready to say goodbye and leave. After all, Tu Tu and Liao Qiu were still waiting for him.
Unexpectedly, before he could say goodbye, he had already stood up, took the maid and left without even intending to say hello to him.
After the princess left with her maid, Ding Xiaoyi happily opened the box and took out the [Mirror] to shine on the fruit.
The dog's eyes behind the mirror slowly opened, and he only heard:
[There is a tree in the land of Kunlun. It is like a poplar and has a fruit. This fruit blooms during the day and dies at night. It can only be picked when the sun and moon meet. If it has no seed, it has the skin but can be eaten. Those who eat it
, prolong life, have clear access to the five senses, gain access to the aura of heaven and earth, and comprehend the day and night of the sun and moon]
After hearing what [Zhao Youjing] said, Ding Xiaoyi was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. He was really a treasure.
This time I came to Youshan, it was a bit surprising.
However, just when he was happy, he suddenly heard someone sneer in his ear: "If I were you, I wouldn't accept this fruit."
"Um!!"
Hearing the sound, he turned around suddenly, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
The person behind him was none other than Bai Pangpang, who had disappeared for a long time.
"Damn fat man, why are you here?"
Ding Xiaoyi's teeth hurt when he saw him. He stepped forward and hooked his arms on his shoulders, patted the top of his shiny head, and said with a look of resentment: "Pangpang, you are not authentic!!"
Bai Pangpang frowned, obviously not used to being so close to Ding Xiaoyi: "I have always been by your side. I just left when I watched you get on the carriage."
Ding Xiaoyi looked unhappy and said: "Haha, is this the reason why you threw me into the wolf's den?"
"How could I harm you? If there really is a fight, I will help you secretly. Well, it's no problem to beat up those six boys. Who asked you to play tricks and wasted the opportunity I gave you."
Bai Pangpang sighed and told him his previous plan.
He couldn't tell whether what the fat man said was true or false, and he didn't want to continue to struggle with this issue. He raised the box in his hand and said, "Then tell me why I can't accept this fruit."
Bai Pangpang opened the box and took a look, and sneered: "You don't know that people die for money and birds die for food. If you accept someone else's fruit today, they will have the opportunity next time to catch you for being lazy. You pretend that they can't hear it.
Were you just talking casually about what you said before?"
Ding Xiaoyi nodded thoughtfully and put his palms down from Bai Pangpang's shoulders: "Oh, the worst is that I won't go find her next time."
"If you don't go to her, can't they come to you??"
Bai Pangpang had the attitude of someone who had come before, and spoke with sincerity.
"Yes, yes, you are right!"
He nodded repeatedly, no longer arguing with Bai Pangpang. He carefully took out his mobile phone with one hand and sent a message to the group.
"Let's go. It's rare to come to such a good place. Let's go for a walk together. I can take you to have some fun."
After Bai Pangpang finished speaking, he took his arm and walked forward without giving him a chance to refuse.
"Ah, but this is the emperor's palace. Tutu has said that you can't just leave..."
Ding Xiaoyi's scalp felt numb for a while, but Bai Pangpang didn't care at all: "What are you afraid of? I'm here, and besides, I even stole his back garden, so it doesn't matter."
Ding Xiaoyi's heart skipped a beat, but there was a strange look on his face. Following Bai Pangpang, the two of them passed through some inconspicuous palaces and walked all the way up the mountain.
Occasionally, a few guards passed by them on the road, but when they saw Bai Pangpang and Ding Xiaoyi, they acted as if they hadn't seen them.
Gradually he became bolder.
"Look, this is the psychic pool!" Bai Pangpang pointed to the huge pool in front and introduced it to him.
I saw the sparkling water in the pool, with misty white mist above it. Several black lotus flowers stood in the water, the lotus leaves were stained with dewdrops, full of vitality, the black lotus flowers bloomed, and a few gem-like lotus seeds inside shone with rainbow-like wonder.
Light, brilliant and dazzling.
“If you want to see something, you only need to throw a pebble into it and bury your face in it, and you will be able to go back in time and see the things you want to see and the people you meet.
"
Bai Pangpang said, picking up a stone from the ground and handing it to himself, indicating that he could try it.
"Past? Present and future?"
"It's happening now, and the future hasn't happened yet. It's all uncertain. Everything has its fate. In this vast world, who dares to say that we can really see the present and the future clearly, let alone a small psychic pool!"
Bai Pangpang shook his head and rejected his idea.
Seeing this, he stopped thinking about it and walked to the edge of the pool to take a closer look.
In the mist, the bottom of the pool is clear, and the fish at the bottom can be seen swimming happily.
A crab was waving its claws and clamping the tail of a fish, as if it had caught a long-lost delicacy.
"You can see everything?" He confirmed to Bai Pangpang.
"Not necessarily. Some things work and some things don't work. But you'll know after you try it."
Bai Pangpang stood aside, looking forward to seeing Ding Xiaoyi and wondering what he wanted to see.
Ding Xiaoyi nodded and stood at the edge of the pool, his brows knitted together as if he was struggling with something, and he held the stone in his hand tightly.
However, for a moment, he breathed a long sigh of relief and casually returned the stone to Bai Pangpang: "I don't want to see it."
"Ah!!" Looking at the returned stone, Bai Pangpang was suddenly startled: "You don't want to see your grandpa??"
"I don't want to see it." He took a deep breath, and when he talked about his grandfather, the bridge of his nose felt a little sore.
But he still said firmly: "I will think about him in my heart and write about him in my diary, but not in this way."
"Why?"
There was some change in Bai Pangpang's eyes.
But he saw Ding Xiaoyi looking at the pool, lost in thought for a while.
The fish in the pool that was caught by the crab were struggling desperately.
"I don't want to live in the past, and grandpa doesn't want me to live in the past.
because……
That’s not happy.”
The diary the old man left for himself was for his last companionship.
But when I understood the contents of the diary, all the contents in the diary disappeared and turned into blank paper again.
In the words of my grandfather's diary, this is a new beginning, a new story.
People can cherish the past, but they must not live in the past. People who live in the past will never have the chance to welcome the future.
Such people will only suffer and will never feel happy.
This is why grandpa made a decisive choice to give up all preferential treatment, forget all about this life, and even forget about himself.
When Bai Pangpang heard this, his eyes flickered and he stared at Ding Xiaoyi: "You really look like your grandpa!"
As he spoke, the muscles on Bai Pangpang's face began to squirm, and under the blurry light, the clothes on his body also transformed into a black robe.
He had wildly dancing black hair, sharp-edged cheeks, straight eyebrows, and his eyes were like an abyss, as if just one look at him would make him fall into it.
A large robe is draped around his body, and you can see the strong mermaid lines exposed under the gap in the robe.
Having had the bad experience of looking directly at the empress, Ding Xiaoyi immediately lowered his head obediently, not daring to look directly at the great emperor.
"When did you discover it?"
The eyes hidden by the long hair were staring at him. Even if he was not looking directly at the other person, he could still feel the sharp gaze, as if he was trying to dig himself open.
"When I encounter something I don't understand, Bai Pangpang never talks about ancient prose with me. He knows that I don't understand, so he always speaks in vernacular to be more direct. But at this time, I haven't doubted you yet.
"
After listening to Ding Xiaoyi's words, the man finally smiled and asked: "Humph, then why did you suddenly doubt me?"
He raised his head carefully and glanced at the man quickly: "Because you...are not greedy enough!"
