At dawn, Liuli Island, located in the central sea area to the east, was quiet.
The island is small, with a capacity of less than a hundred people.
You could say it's a larger rock.
Because it doesn't even have vegetation cover.
It was bare and could only be considered a place to stay.
Seabirds don't like to poop here.
It's amazing that, regardless of the tides, this small island has never been completely submerged.
Even when the tide is at its highest, there's still enough room for one person to stand.
Viewed from above, the island looks like a fan.
The apex, pointing upwards, is the highest point on the entire island.
It is also the last piece of land exposed above the sea surface at high tide.
Long ago, the rock surface was inlaid with crystals of various colors, which looked colorful and beautiful from a distance, like glass, hence the name Glass Island.
There is also a beautiful legend about this island.
I don't know what year or month it was.
A goddess descended to earth from the realm of gods.
They rested here after fighting the siren.
Wherever his hand touched, every ordinary, earthy-colored stone was transformed into a sparkling, multicolored gemstone.
Soon, the entire island was covered with crystals.
Even in the vast ocean, its dazzling colors cannot be concealed.
This attracted many marine creatures to stop and watch.
Even the overlord of the sea, the Sea-Suppressing Dragon, was attracted here.
The dragon emerged from the sea and met the goddess.
It was love at first sight.
He will rise to prominence within a few years.
Together with the goddess, ascend to the celestial realm and become a divine couple.
This legend has many illogical aspects, but it is widely circulated.
Moreover, legends are inherently illogical.
It's about sentiment.
As long as it makes you happy.
Whether it's reasonable or not is not important.
If someone insists on arguing, the fishermen from the coast will only think that person is crazy.
However, these crystals are only beautiful on the island.
If someone were to pry it off, it would immediately turn into a charred black mess.
However, there are many people in this world who refuse to believe things they have not witnessed firsthand.
In particular, this matter might bring them benefits.
Moreover, if there is no harm in doing it, then you feel compelled to give it a try.
Whenever someone comes to this Crystal Island, they always manage to pry off a piece of crystal.
It's not enough to just pry off a piece and turn it into charcoal.
They might think, "Maybe it's just that this particular spot happens to turn black?"
Other things might be able to be saved.
Such a beautiful crystal would definitely fetch a lot of money if sold on land.
Even just one piece would be fine!
So they would keep trying until they couldn't try anymore, got annoyed, tired, and experienced countless failures before finally giving up.
They always think they are unique.
They feel that other people's experiences are too mediocre and not worthy of their unique selves.
However, it turns out that, at least in the face of these crystals...
Everyone is the same.
Over the years, Liuli Island has lost its former glory.
Now it's just a broken, unremarkable big rock.
The remaining crystals are either not pretty or are hidden quite well.
Ordinary people simply cannot break it open with ordinary tools.
The waves have washed over this scarred island, and the marks left by the chiseling away of the crystals are no longer very noticeable.
Perhaps in a few years, when people mention that this island was once covered in crystals, probably no one will believe it anymore.
An extremely handsome monk sat in the corner and reached out to touch the blue crystal beneath him.
He probably felt that the crystal was very familiar.
But I really can't remember where I've seen it before.
He has forgotten far too many things.
Some people simply want to forget.
But more often than not, people want to keep them but can't.
The monk opened the scroll and found the contents he had written down completely unfamiliar.
He even had to reconfirm whether the handwriting on the document was his own.
The scratches on the scroll were like the cuts he made to his own memories.
He thought these memories must be extremely important.
Therefore, he used to write on scrolls, afraid that he would forget.
But now, the cold words on the scroll can no longer evoke any emotional connection in him.
The scroll still has one last line left uncrossed.
Liuli Island.
There are only three words.
He doesn't remember the specifics of what happened.
I just felt that this place was quite important.
So I decided to come here and take a look.
The monk conjured a pen out of thin air, crossed out the last three words, and leaped into the sea.
It seems like he's done this countless times.
Very skilled.
...
When Su Hanjiang and his group arrived at Liuli Island, they only saw a scroll that had been thrown away.
Chu Yiming opened it, glanced at it, and felt it was necessary to show it to Su Hanjiang.
So, he handed it to Su Hanjiang.
Su Hanjiang took it casually, but his pupils contracted the moment he looked at it.
He seemed to freeze completely.
Everyone found his reaction strange and crowded around to look.
The scroll contained several lines of text, but apart from the five characters "Moon sets in Crow's Valley," there was nothing particularly special about it.
It didn't seem like something that could shock Su Hanjiang.
Even the most trivial things.
Aside from the fact that the first and last characters are place names, the rest looks a bit like parenting tips.
It can't be that he has another child, right?
I don't believe it!
The contents of the scroll are as follows:
Moonset over Crow's Cry Valley
[January: Boil goat milk over a low flame and feed half a bowl per meal, five meals a day. After feeding, gently pat the back at least twenty-five times.]
[One year old: Tripped, bumped his forehead, and cried. The threshold was chopped off.]
[Three-year-old: Deceived, fainted from hunger, but held back tears. The perpetrator has been punished.]
[Five years old: Tattling, puffed up in anger. The bully has been punished.]
[Age 12: Accidentally entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, was frightened, and begged to cultivate the Way of Ruthlessness, which was granted.]
[Sixteen years old: Talks back, ate the sweet cake, but still isn't sweet-talking. Heartbreaking.]
【Liuli Island】
The person who wrote the scroll probably raised a child until he was sixteen and was then talked back to, which caused him heartache, so he stopped writing.
Only three more words were written at the end.
Su Hanjiang read it word by word, his face showing an unprecedented panic.
Although it was extremely minor, it was already a very serious matter in the eyes of others.
The scroll contained more than that; what made Su Hanjiang show this expression was the handwriting.
To be precise, it was the person who wrote the scroll.
Ji Kongmeng asked worriedly, "Master, do you know the owner of this scroll?"
Su Hanjiang silently put the scroll away without replying, his cautious manner heartbreaking to watch.
After putting it away, he returned to his usual demeanor.
"This is something extraordinary, and I may not be able to come back. Think it through. If you have any concerns, you don't need to come along."
