In the east, on the sea.

Murasa Mizumi drove the large ship wrapped in gold, traveling at a constant speed in the sky.

This was the return voyage.

After searching hard on the sea for a week, Lu Li had to admit that this mission was probably a failure.

They turned the bow and headed towards the land.

But what was interesting was that, except for the captain Murasa Mizumi, the three passengers, Lu Li, Kikyo, and Sheng Bailian, were sitting on the deck at the same time, but they were far apart from each other.

This was a silent voyage.

Sheng Bailian sat relatively close to the bow, cross-legged, and silently recited the Heart Sutra. Lu Li sat in the middle of the ship, near the cabin. He leaned his upper body on the wooden board, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Kikyo lay on the deck, between the two of them, about seven or eight meters apart.

None of them spoke. Listening closely, one could only hear the whistling of the wind and the sound of the waves.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the ship suddenly became weird.

Everyone understood where this weird atmosphere came from - it was simply because Lu Li's words"I will collect her body" were too ruthless and broke the little witch's heart.

"I will also help collect his body!"

Lying on the deck, Kikyo stared blankly at the clouds in the sky, but deep in her heart she had cursed this idiot brother who couldn't tell good from bad countless times.

——The little witch could be very vicious.

She was originally a country girl from the countryside. Unlike those noble ladies from the upper class, she had learned all the swear words.

However, after two quarters of an hour, when the little witch was tired of scolding and was fed up,

"Will I... die?"

She began to think about this question involuntarily.

From the beginning, she already knew the answer to this question.

……

Kikyo knew she would die.

From the moment she picked up the bow and arrow, her death was already destined.

She knew that witches always had a bad end.

But before that, she always had a hope in her heart:

"If, if I join forces with my senior brother"

"In this world, what can be difficult for us?"

Jigen had witnessed Lu Li's power with her own eyes.

Under the pressure of the tyrant, the losers collapsed without a fight. The scene is still fresh in her memory.

Kikyo longed for such a powerful Lu Li - and also longed for one day to become as powerful as Lu Li.

But now...

"I won't help you"

"If you are willing to die for those who have nothing to do with you, then go ahead and die."

Lu Li's words broke the little witch's heart.

Before this, she had never realized that her senior brother was such a mean person.

In comparison, the group of little monsters stationed in the countryside might be more affectionate and righteous than him.

"From now on, I can only rely on myself."

The hazy goodwill like mist was blown away by the harsh words that were colder than the wind. Kikyo finally realized the cold reality after she came to her senses: in this cruel world, she couldn't rely on anyone. The only person she could rely on was herself.

But, but.

Even so, she still wanted to say:

"Senior Brother."

She cursed the young man in front of her a hundred times a thousand times in her heart, but when those curses passed through her throat and poured out of her mouth, they turned into something that Kikyo herself had not expected:

"I won't collect your body."

"Because I will never let you die in front of me"

……

That is the kind of awareness that only saints can have.

It is the noble sentiment of"even if I hate you, I will protect you".

It is hard to say whether her awareness is higher or lower than Saint Bai Lian's awareness that"monsters are also worth saving".

Or perhaps, the heart of a saint does not distinguish between high and low, good and bad.

A person who walks on a path that he knows is doomed to die, but can still walk unswervingly, is a true saint.

"I will protect you"

"I will protect you"

"I will protect everything that should be protected."

The young witch's voice was still a little immature, but it was very powerful.

Her words even shocked Saint Bai Lian.

The saint who was about to reach the end of his life did not even recite the Buddhist scriptures, but just looked at the little witch in front of him with an admiring look, as if he was admiring a rare treasure in the world.

"Namo San"

"Namo San"

""Namo San."

She chanted the Buddha's name three times, feeling lucky for the people of the world. There was another living Bodhisattva in this world who was willing to save them from the dire straits.

Lu Li was also looking at Kikyo with a surprised look.

But what surprised him was not Kikyo's words or attitude - he knew how naive this little witch was. What really surprised Lu Li was the change that happened to Kikyo.

Clouds, a lot of clouds, rushed into her body crazily after Kikyo said"I will protect everything that should be protected." Her appearance began to become illusory and ethereal.

She was clearly standing there, but for some reason, she gave people a feeling as if she had transcended this world and did not belong to this world.

"Did she attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven in broad daylight?"

A ridiculous thought emerged in Lu Li's mind.

But in the next moment, he rejected this outrageous guess and found a more realistic answer.

"resonance"

"Her words resonated with the world."

"So that's it... This is the end of the sky, the corner of the sea... This is the end of this world."

This is the farthest place from the mortal world.

It is also the closest place to the"origin" of the world.

Just now, Kikyo's words from the heart resonated with the will of the world. It pulled out a part of the power in the root and possessed the little witch.

No, that's not right. It's not quite appropriate to describe it as"possessed".

To be more precise, her will is highly coincident with the will of a great being, so she became the one who"acts on behalf of heaven"

"I will protect you"

"Protect everything that should be protected."

The little witch repeated this sentence. She didn't realize that her eyes, which should have been black, had turned into a dazzling silver-white color.
