It's spring.

Outside the ancient city, there is a tea shed standing on the wild road, in the thatched shed, a stiff white-haired old man is hunched over his back to make tea. On the tiger stove made of grass, mud and green bricks, the hot water in the large iron pot is bubbling with steam. The small crackling sound of the firewood in the stove was drowned out by the conversation of the tea guests in the small shed. At this moment, the roof of the grass-covered shed was covered with a flock of sun-basking pigeons, white, gray, and flowered, and they were making a dull 'cooing' sound from their throats without tirelessness, adding a lot of life to the dilapidated shed.

The burned soot fell into the soil of the bottom layer of the tiger stove, and the fire gradually weakened.

The old man shook the fan and turned his fingers gracefully, and the dry firewood filled the gap where the second layer was about to burn out, and the fire was restored, and the tea guests were unaware.

The dove cooed.

The old man's face was as usual, and he looked into the distance like an unpredictable prophet, and after a while, he saw an ox cart with firewood and grass slowly coming from the east. On the ox cart sat a fresh-clothed girl dressed in Nanban costume, the sound of ruts came from far and near, and the wheels rolled and creaked, attracting the attention of several people in the shed, and quickly looked away.

With a dull sound, the ox cart was in front of the tea shed in a blink of an eye. The girl lifted the folded skirt and jumped down, the silver ornaments on her hands and feet making a crisp crashing sound. She was dressed in the bright clothes of the Southern Barbarians, the color was simple and intense, her head was tied in two buns, because she had not yet left the cabinet, she only wore some silver jewelry that was convenient for movement, adding a bit of playfulness and cuteness. She looked at the old man in the harsh sunlight, and did not feel that something was wrong, and her pupils were a light gray in the sunlight.

The girl's eyelashes are curly and slender, her round eyes are as wet as a fawn, revealing some not very clever stupidity, her face is flushed, her childishness has not been taken off, and her walking is staggering and stumbling, and she is a little bit of animal cub-like naivety.

It was a carefree girl, but with a look of resentment and reluctance. The old man saw through her thoughts, shook the pu fan and comforted: "Ten miles from the long pavilion, there will be a parting, and it is better to go away prepared, than to leave suddenly." There are thousands of injuries and partings, if you plunge into them one by one, where can you be busy. He has lived such a long time, looking down on life and death, success and failure, but he still won't comfort people with soft words.

"How can I not be sad - this is a farewell sky and a wide sea, life and death are slim, and there is no return date - I ...... I can't bear to be sister, woo ......" The girl pear blossom brought the rain, ran in three steps and two steps, and threw herself into his arms on her knees. The old man's body exudes the fragrance of plants and trees, warm and subtle, with some light spices, which is not at all like the sour smell that the old man will have.

"Ah Xing," the girl called Ah Xing raised her head and looked at the old man in front of her with teary eyes, "Human nature is to do the best to protect the people you love around you, and divinity is to make choices that take into account the overall situation, and to sacrifice a few to fulfill all sentient beings. Ah Mi went east this time, not only to atone for the sins of falling into the sky, but also to save the common people. She is our pride. ”

Ah Xing nodded as if he didn't understand, and stopped sobbing: "Then we'...... Is there a chance to reunite?"

"Everything in the world is fate. ”

The sun shines obliquely through the dead grass. In the low chirping of the dove, Ah Xing and the old man's true bodies were revealed in the sunlight, but they were just a little white deer with a shallow path and an old white crane that was about to die.

Suddenly, the pigeons on the grass shed fluttered their wings and spiraled up until they disappeared into the golden sunlight. Looking up from the ground, the fine sunlight is like crushed gold dust, tightly wrapping a pair of white doves, beautiful, and if you stand upside down in the dark clouds, the world is turned upside down, and it is a pair of black birds falling and falling towards the bottomless nine heavens. Beauty is beauty.

- The Fallen Dragon Maiden has been ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to go to the agreed place in the East China Sea to atone for the sin of killing gods.

Seeing that the watchman flew away from this place of right and wrong, the old man's originally sad face returned to his former favor and humiliation. The locks of the gods buried in his body, carved into his skin and bones, appeared in the air blatantly, and the blood turned into bright red sigils, faint and invisible. Whether it is a deer or a crane, it is just a layer of skin.

He doesn't want to be an omnipotent god.

He would rather be the one he wants to be the one who laughs and scolds, flesh and blood, to love, to get, and to lose.

The old man shook his body and changed back to his original graceful and handsome appearance. Ah Xing tilted his head and smiled sweetly.

The tanuki changed the prince, and the prince didn't know it. The "old man" looks far away, and only wishes that Ah Mi can go all the way.

At this moment, there was no wind, but the silver ornaments on Ah Xing's body tinkled non-stop, and the god-binding lock was like a red net, densely netting her. She has a bright chain hanging on her body, which is impossible to hide her breath, but fortunately, she has cut off a soul and a soul, so she can hide in the city silently. In an instant, the tea shed, the fragrance of tea, the birdsong, the "old man" and the girl all disappeared in an instant, leaving the stunned civilians in place, maintaining a posture of sitting upright, and sitting straight on the loess earth.
