Chapter 298
Yu Tu was forced to visit the Grass and Wood Tribe using a vest that looked like an old machine with poor signal reception. When the vest's slow reaction came out, he truly experienced what it meant to feel like a thorn in the back.
Faintly, Elder Di Xiu snorted coldly behind him, and Zhi Huai whispered to Di Xiu: "Let's make him drink the medicine in the Grass and Wood Clan today before we go back."
It is obvious who that "he" refers to.
Yu Tu pursed her lips, suppressing the cough that was about to come out and the itching in her throat, and in her heart she kept scrolling through the crying cat emoji pack.
When they arrived at the place where the main body was planted, the air pressure among the plants became even lower. Yu Tu looked at the main body and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with its height. Why did it feel... a little shorter?
With doubts about the height of the tea tree, he hadn't even started to ask when Elder Di Xiu's cool voice reached his ears: "Senior Buyehou, don't worry, the tea tree has regressed ten centimeters in height."
Yu Tu: “……?”
Yu Tu: “!!!”
Why is his height deducted from his real height for the vest? He finally grew to 2.06 meters, but now he is less than 2 meters tall even with his body and feet together QAQ.
Yu Tu gestured in disbelief: "How is it possible to get shorter as you grow older?"
"You can ask yourself after you wake up." Di Xiu flexed his wrist, "There's plenty of time."
Yu Tu took a step aside and looked at Elder Di Xiu, who had a bad face. He said with a stiff face, "Just think... that concentration is the essence?"
Emperor Xiu: “???”
The smile on Di Xiu's face became even more distorted: "Your jokes are quite funny."
Diwu silently took a few steps back, trying to minimize his presence. On the way back, he bumped into Guiyu, and the two plants exchanged glances quietly————
[See, spoiling children, not admitting it, and making excuses for them is all a habit.]
[It feels like Elder Di Xiu is going to turn evil out of anger.]
[Even without Zhihuai telling me, I know that the medicine is extremely unpalatable.]
[Stop gloating over misfortunes. Haven't you done enough bad things, Chief?]
[Hey! Don’t just accuse the tree!]
Yu Tu held onto the trunk of the original body and transferred half of his consciousness over. While this half of his consciousness was trying to force the original body to transform into a human form, Yu Tu immediately prepared to escape - but failed.
Song Rong and Yi Lin each found an excuse to delay the time, and Zhi Huai came over with a large bowl of black medicine.
Yu Tu's pupils trembled as he looked at the bowl that was almost as big as his head. After taking this bowl of medicine, he wouldn't need to eat for the whole day, although Ma Jia didn't need to eat either.
Zhi Huai handed him the bowl with a serious face, and Yu Tu enjoyed the 360-degree gaze.
There was no way to hide, Yu Tu took the bowl with a sigh. When the bowl was close to his mouth, the strange smell made him feel dizzy. Yu Tu decisively closed his sense of taste and swallowed it in one breath.
Showing the empty bowl to them, Yu Tu said helplessly: "Can I leave now?"
Di Wu secretly glanced at Di Xiu's expression. Di Xiu nodded slightly. Considering the doting nature of the senior Marquis Buye, it was difficult for him to teach the bold Yu Tu a lesson on the spot. Today's medicine had already been taken, so it was okay to let the tree go back.
The half of Yu Tu's consciousness that remained in his body finally transformed into a human form. Seeing that their attention was still on the vest, he tiptoed to escape, but the next second he was grabbed by the scruff of the neck by two forces. Yu Tu raised his head and looked back. On the left was the Emperor's House, and on the right was Guiyu.
"Tu Tu." Guiyu smiled brightly and passionately, "You can't avoid it."
Yu Tu said pitifully: "...I know I was wrong."
"You know you're wrong, but you won't change." The gentle voice in the past passed through two deadly door gods, and at this moment it was more terrifying than a ghost story. "Tu Tu, who told you not to take your own safety seriously? Huh?"
Yu Tu slowly, slowly closed his eyes.
My life is over!

That night, when the loyal readers of "Shan Hai Zhi Yu" were bored and scrolling through the book many times, they suddenly and inexplicably saw an update.
Since the comic was revealed to be true, the update schedule has become unstable. The last update was at the end of November. Yu Tu and his friends were drinking and saying goodbye in Zhu Ming Yue. The five of them were drunk and staggering. The moonlight poured in from the wide-open window, which felt like a gentle and sad farewell.
At that time, some readers joked that the "Lang Tao Sha" in the artificial moon of Chang'an Academy was really inappropriate to the context. Even if it was "Song Bie", "Outside the Changting, Beside the Ancient Road" would be much better than this.
"Lang Tao Sha"...just hearing the lyrics sounds like a flag!
At that time, some comic readers comforted others in this way—
[All five of them passed out drunk, Yingying didn't say anything, the flag didn't work, don't panic! ]
Everyone had a vague premonition of something, so over the next ten days, many people would check their phones from time to time while working to see if there were any updates to the comics, but on the tenth day, there was no update.
Because Tianyan is sometimes late and sometimes early, everyone starts waiting for the eleventh day’s update, and then... there is no update.
Day 12, no update.
Thirteenth day, no update.
On the fourteenth day, when everyone had given up hope and suspected that the comic would be abandoned after the reveal, it was updated instead. Readers who discovered the update called their friends and quickly gathered.
[The old thief Tian Yan finally updated, he still remembered that he has a comic series!!!]
[The comic book fan in front, don’t be so brave! The comic book is real. Think about who Tian Yan is (grabbing his shoulders and shaking him desperately)]
[Fuck! I silently deleted the long paragraph of beautiful language I just typed out…]
[Fuck! Me too…]
The real-time scrolling comment section was blank for half a minute due to a reminder from a kind-hearted comic fan.
[Since the comics are real, can we make a wish here? Can we wish for world peace?]
[I promise to see my wife through legitimate means, and it would be even better if I could be close to her!
PS: There is no harm to me and my family, no negative emotions, and no cost (additional information here)! ]
[The comic friend upstairs is very serious [stunned.JPG]]
[So is it easier for Him to see my wish if I make it here? [Universe Sublimation Cat Head.JPG]]
[Don’t choose between going to work and going to school to burn incense!]
So this update starts with a fierce debate on whether or not to burn incense and treat Tianyan as a turtle in a wishing well (crossed out).
The comic's initial scene was pitch black, but as the view slowly zoomed in, it was discovered that it was not night, but an inky blue sea. The sky was the same color as the sea, so the edge where the sea and the sky met could not be seen.
There are two figures standing by the straight coastline. One looks like a young man, and the other is wearing a grey robe that reaches his feet. The picture continues to zoom in, and they are Gu Hongying and Kuang Mian.
Kuang Mian seemed to be chanting some obscure and difficult to understand language. Tian Yan did not mark it, and only abstract gibberish was revealed. But as he chanted, a reflective white gradually emerged from the blue to almost black sea, like a mirror-like ocean rippling. Those reflections seemed to connect into lines from the stars, like some swimming creature - it was a silhouette of a white fish.
In the night-like light, they were blurry and soft, swimming head to tail and floating on the surface. Specks of light fell from the white fish, some sank to the bottom of the sea, and some floated up to the sky, becoming stars swimming on the dark blue sky.
With the appearance of the white fish, the calm sea surface "came alive" and the waves surged to Gu Hongying's feet like a rising tide. Kuang Mian stretched out his hand and gave Gu Hongying a push from behind.
Gu Hongying fell into the sea. A group of white fish swam over and wrapped around him in circles. Gu Hongying closed his eyes. Wrinkles began to appear on his skin, his hair turned gray, and his body became hunched. The white fish surrounded him and he gradually died.
Kuang Mian did not pay much attention to Gu Hongying. He looked up at the sky. The stars had become bright, some dimmed, and some withered. In the midst of life and death, new stars appeared - death and rebirth were intertwined and performed on the star map every day.
The comic then introduces a hazy memory, as if it is a house late at night, with only outlines of all objects left, and the faint moonlight leaking through the window making the colors blurred.
"Guixu is the home of the souls of all creatures. It is connected to the endless sea. In the sea is the Gate of Life and Death. Life and death never cease, but the Gate of Life and Death is immortal." Someone stood in the shadow of the blurred tones, and only his words were clear. "It's not that I don't know."
The other person was wearing a gray robe, the edges of which blended into the darkness. It seemed that he was Kuang Mian, who pushed Gu Hongying into the sea. "Use the energy of life and death in the Gate of Life and Death to polish his spiritual energy and quickly improve his physical fitness without leaving any sequelae."
The person in the shadows was silent for a long time for some reason, and then he said, "We can't... repeat the same mistake again."
[Who is the person who is talking to the thief? (Beware)]
[Urgent, urgent, are you going to add some new characters at this time?]
[You didn't even draw the outline, just guessing?]
[Actually, I have a bad feeling. It always feels like... um...]
[Hmm? What are you talking about?]
[I thought of that, too. I was scared.]
[Me too! When my wife first appeared, I felt that she had a special flavor of the beautiful, strong and tragic Bai Yueguang!]
[Come on! You can’t talk nonsense like that!]
While readers are guessing who is in the shadow, the comic has already developed to the next part - the vortex formed by the white fish surrounds Gu Hongying in the middle, and from the gaps between the silhouetted white fish, one can see Gu Hongying with his eyes closed slowly curling up when he is extremely old, and he emits the same light as the white fish.
In the soft and blurry light, the silhouette of Gu Hongying showed a pair of graceful curves on his head and a fluffy tail behind him. His wings slowly spread out behind him, emitting star-like light.
Gu Hongying suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes were no longer the normal human color, but the same dark blue as the ocean. He closed his eyes, with no focus in them. His wings flapped, and he flew upwards against the circling and descending school of fish. His body shape slowly changed, and it looked like he was about to fly to the surface of the sea.
This ocean seemed to be worthy of the title of “Endless Sea”. In the vast expanses of dark blue, Gu Hongying was like a drowning bird. The higher he flew, the closer he became to a beast.
In the dark blue ocean, at the deepest point where the fish swirled and descended, a turquoise fish came up with its tail wagging. It bumped into Gu Hongying without a care, and turned into a light wind, carrying him away from the sea.
The moment it left the sea, specks of white light peeled off from Gu Hongying's body. These fragments of light formed the shape of a small beast, and then turned into a white fish. It swam into the depths of the ocean, and a gap appeared at the front of the school of fish that were connected head and tail. It filled the gap.
The stagnant school of fish began to sink again, swimming towards the darkness that seemed to have no end. Occasionally, some white fish would break away from the school, swinging their tails and swimming to the surface of the sea. The moment they poked their heads out, they turned into white birds flapping their wings.
The cycle of life and death is always changing.
Gu Hongying had completely transformed into a human form. The wind carried him higher and higher, flying above the clouds.
He opened his eyes again in the ocean.
This time, the eyes have a completely human color.
The stars in the sky suddenly began to adjust their orbits on their own. In the comic, a line of small words appeared next to Gu Hongying's eyes:
【The fate is fixed and cannot be changed.】
