After Bai Yu stopped crying, he led Lu Dongqing to a well and washed his wound with clear well water.

She kept her head buried all the way, silent, and her steps were no longer as brisk as before, and her shoes dragged across the ground, making dull footsteps.

She was like a bird that fell into a bucket, and the feathers on its wings got wet, so it couldn't fly.

Lu Dongqing turned her head and asked her softly, "Have you never lost?"

"How do you know?" Bai Yu opened his eyes wide, raised his head to meet his gaze, and quickly lowered his head to avoid it, "My kung fu is better than everyone else, they are not willing to challenge me, even Senior Sister Ren Lan avoids it I... probably they all hate me."

Lu Dongqing looked at her, shook her head and said, "I think they just don't want to compete with you, they don't hate you."

"Really?" Bai Yu blinked, "Even if you lose to me, you won't...hate me?"

Lu Dongqing asked back: "You lost to me just now, do you think you hate me now?"

Bai Yu was startled for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "I don't hate you, you just sacrificed your life to save me, you are so kind to me, I... like you very much."

She spoke quickly and in a hurried tone, for fear that the other party would miss a word.Seeing it, Lu Dongqing suddenly felt a strange intimacy in her heart. If she had a younger sister, she might look like Bai Yu.

He vaguely recalled that his parents often joked with him in the past, wanting to have a cute and smart little sister for him.

Unfortunately, this joke never had a chance to be fulfilled.

Thinking of this, Lu Dongqing simply stopped, squatted down in front of her, looked into her eyes, and said slowly: "Bai Yu, as long as you compete with others, you will win or lose. Winning or losing is a very normal thing. , Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Even if you lose, you don’t need to be ashamed, let alone impatient. If you try to be strong, others will only be afraid of you. Only when you maintain your dignity, others will like you.”

"Yeah." The girl nodded, and quickly lowered her gaze, shrunk her shoulders, and wrung her hands together: "I... I'll try."

Lu Dongqing smiled at her, and while pressing her into his arms, stroking the top of her head, said softly: "Next time, you must protect yourself and don't act recklessly. I was really scared just now. If you really I stumbled and fell off the cliff, but what to do."

"...Hmm." Bai Yu buried in his shoulder, answered in a muffled voice, her soft and rough hair brushed against his shoulder.

Lu Dongqing couldn't help sneezing.

He pushed the girl in his arms away, and said apologetically, "It seems that the evening wind is a bit chilly."

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "No, it's not because of the wind, but because it's too close to Youmao."

"You Swamp?" Lu Dongqing raised her eyebrows and said, "Yushan is a place where the gods are swamped, so there is also a You Swamp?"

"Yes, yes." Baiyu replied like a cannonball, "There used to be a bad god who stole the things of the Emperor of Heaven and was locked up in the secluded swamp of Yushan Mountain for punishment. Since then, bad people who made mistakes have all to be locked in."

"Oh?" Lu Dongqing raised her eyebrows, "The bad god you're talking about is Gun who stole Xiyang."

Bai Yu blinked: "It seems to be the name."

"So that's how it is, so it's here..." Lu Dongqing said to herself with emotion.

The story of immortals is indeed well-known in the state of Yu.Before Dayu retreated to control the flood and completed the feat of benefiting the people, another god also tried to control the flood.For this reason, he secretly stole the soil of Zhuzhaoshen's breath, which is an inexhaustible soil.As long as it is sown on the ground, it will grow like a vine.He cast soil on the passage of the waterway, causing it to grow a high barrier, trying to bury the flood.

It's a pity that his method didn't work. Instead of subduing the flood, it made the water even faster.The flood took the lives of more innocent people.And he also received the punishment, deprived of his godhead, and imprisoned in the secluded swamp.

Lu Dongqing couldn't help looking towards the direction of the valley. In the vast night, the sound of running water could be heard continuously. Under the vast sky, the darkness seemed to be getting deeper.

Seeing that he was silent, Bai Yu said, "Senior brother, don't be afraid, there is a black bird watching over us."

Lu Dongqing couldn't help being a little amused: "Why are you so sure that the black bird is an ancient rare beast? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Bai Yu pouted and said, "It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it, does it have to be seen with the eyes to be real? I can feel it is here."

Lu Dongqing looked at her in surprise.

The girl's expression was clear, as if she had a devout belief in the mountains and rivers under her feet.

It was only then that Lu Dongqing remembered that she had never left Yushan a step since she was born, and this was her entire world. She might act recklessly, or be eccentric, but she would not lie.

After the monstrous flood receded, the gods stayed away from the land of China one after another. Some of the spirits they left behind turned into the oldest spiritual defense in northern Xinjiang - the Great Wall of the Northern Wilderness, and the other part boarded on the creatures in the world. The god of faith.

Could it be that the child's primordial spirit has sprouted?

Seeing that he was silent, Bai Yu pouted again and said, "I knew it, you are just like everyone else, you don't believe me."

Lu Dongqing shook her head: "How come, I believe you. I am also looking for what is hidden in your heart."

Bai Yu stared at him with wide eyes: "Then did you find it?"

Lu Dongqing sighed lightly: "Not yet, my cultivation is still far behind."

Bai Yu shook his head vigorously: "You are not bad, you must be a very powerful hero."

"How do you know?" Lu Dongqing asked in a half-joking tone.

"Of course I know, because...because..." the girl clenched her fists, furrowed her eyebrows, and held back for a while before saying, "Because I lost to you!"

Lu Dongqing was finally amused by him: "Baiyu, why are you so afraid of losing?"

"Because uncle will be sad if he loses. I don't want him to be sad."

"Others are others, what do you think about yourself?"

"Me?" She stroked her chest, "I don't know. Even if I lost to you, I didn't feel unhappy. Why..."

Lu Dongqing said: "Because I am your senior brother and your friend, you will feel happy chatting and competing with me, it has nothing to do with winning or losing."

"Is it okay?"

"Friendship in the world is not just divided by winning or losing."

Bai Yu looked at him blankly, as if it was difficult to understand what he said.

Lu Dongqing looked at her profile, feeling a little pity in her heart.

This child is very talented, and he is expected to teach the most exquisite martial arts, which is better than many adults.But she can only live in this cage-like landscape, tasting the coldness of the heights, but unable to appreciate the true human feelings.

Lu Dongqing looked into her eyes and said, "If you want to become a hero admired by others, it's not enough to have good martial arts, you also need to become strong enough."

Bai Yu shook his head: "I don't understand."

"The martial art is strong enough, at most it is only good at killing, and the heart is strong enough to protect more people."

"I still do not understand."

Lu Dongqing had an idea: "It's okay if you don't understand now, didn't you just say that as long as I win, you promise me one thing?"

Bai Yu nodded with a bewildered face.

"You have to remember this sentence, and one day you will understand."

"Oh, well, I promise you." Bai Yu blinked, and the corners of his mouth curled up, and asked, "Brother, are you really younger than Sister Ren Lan?"

"Ah?" Lu Dongqing went in without knowing.

"The way you spoke just now looks like an old man."

Lu Dongqing: "..."

Only then did he realize that he was unconsciously imitating Master's words and deeds, and couldn't help explaining the truth to the child he met for the first time.

"Baiyu, are you there?"

A voice came from the direction down the mountain.

"It's over, it's over, Tudou is catching up, I'll take a step first," Bai Yu jumped up, as if the soles of his feet were loaded with springs, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait—" Lu Dongqing tried to stop him.

However, the girl had already run a certain distance, and when she heard Lu Dongqing's voice, she turned her head and put her index finger on her lips: "Shh, don't tell him I've been here."

Lu Dongqing couldn't help smiling wryly, this request is really too difficult for others.
