The father once rescued a wounded deer left in the valley, but despite careful care, the young deer died from the severity of the injury.

The couple never had children, but after that, a baby was born in the family.

The couple believed that the child had something to do with the fawn.

The saying that "all things are animist" spreads in the hidden area of Yunmengze - it is close to the densest forest.

Contrary to secular conventions, everything that does not speak human language is seen here as the center of the world, not itself.

The clouds on the horizon, the stone orchid behind the courtyard, and the first subtle breeze when the seasons change, are all where the gods are.

This child does not belong to them entirely.

She is both the son of mankind and the trust of the deer spirit.

Yao grew up slowly, and as her pink hair became thicker, the antlers of the deer ears also emerged from it.

Her parents weren't surprised, and neither was she.

Ah Yao knows nothing about the truths of "children are like parents" and "people don't have horns".

Until she was a teenager one day, she went too far and came to a village far away from the forest, which was leaning against the swamp and smelled of rot.

Even though they seem to be living badly, they all have faces that they think are smart.

When A-Yao was helping an old woman pick up the missing fruit in her bag, someone shouted:

"What kind of monster is this!"

"Ugly!"

"Where did the mountain ghost come from!"

Mockery, ridicule, rocks, and people brandishing knives shouting "Don't scare her away!" Cut off the antlers to make medicine and eat. “

A few days later, Ah Yao returned home in the evening.

She told her parents that "those people" ate everything, that "those people" were stupid and bad, and that "those people" were the most unfortunate people she had ever met.

The mother sensed something more in her daughter's expression, as if she could no longer believe anything.

In addition, there are ......?

"Did you only see these people?" Mother asked.

"Didn't see anyone else." Ah Yao seems to have learned a human habit - lying. But it is very unskillful in use.

"When they were about to kill me, no, no gust of wind blew, no one appeared, he, he didn't scare those people away,

He did not come from the 'Land of Annihilation,' he had no wings, he did not wear human clothes, his feet were not claws......

Those people didn't call him 'God in the Clouds,' didn't kneel down and shout 'East God My God......," and they didn't hand in the offerings.

He didn't say to me, 'You go back.'" He didn't look at me, his eyes didn't look like he couldn't see anything,

He didn't say, 'Little Fawn, where are you from?' I didn't say, 'I, I'm ...... from that side'

He didn't say, 'Which side is over there?' I didn't say, 'That's over there.' ’

He didn't say, 'Okay...... Little Deern, go back. ’”

Mother listened patiently.

“…… The Divine Monarch in the clouds didn't say, 'Little Deer Girl, go back.' ’

"Yes."

Her deer ears and antlers are affected by her hair, smudged with a hint of pink.

"I don't want to know where he lives. I don't want to know that the Divine Monarch in the clouds also came from far away? Did he come from the clouds? Will I ever see him again? I don't want to know. “

Parents look at each other.

The father remembered the moment when he buried the young deer, and a bird was crying for a long time, hovering in the air.

"It has a partner." He muttered.

The mother still eats with a smile until the chopsticks seem to have accidentally fallen to the ground.

Jun in the clouds

In her previous life, she was a young deer living with a lone bird that was also helpless.

The reunion in this life made Yao, who was a young girl at the beginning, curious and angry about Yun Zhongjun......

He was originally a bird in the woods, and he was with the fawn, but the human war took the life of his partner, and the remaining lonely bird resolutely followed.

Guiguzi gave him life again, but he didn't know that everything was just meaningless torture, and Yun Zhongjun, who couldn't suppress the attack on miracles and humans, was surrounded and suppressed by his disciples, and was injured and blinded in the fight.

After fleeing to the west of the river, he was reused by the East God, and the fragment of memory that he desperately held on to gradually awakened and sprouted again in the subsequent encounters......

Yun Zhongjun was once a lone bird, living with a deer.

When the war between Chu and Han burned to the Yunmengze Forest, the fawn was shot and died, and soon, it shattered its body on the cliff rocks with great grief.

Guiguzi, who witnessed this scene, sympathized and recreated his corpse bones using the art of reincarnation, and the new life took most of the human form, but could be transformed into birds to fly and fight.

The memories of his past life remained in Yun Zhongjun's mind, and when they flashed, they were always accompanied by intense skin pain, making it uncontrollably attack humans and miracles.

Obsessed with miracles, the Guiguzi disciples launched an encirclement and capture of Yun Zhongjun and tried to erase his last memories, Yun Zhongjun struggled desperately to keep the last trace of memory, but his eyes were injured and blinded in the struggle.

It fled from the ground to the west, and finally reached the west of the Great River, where it was taken in and raised by the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and became his envoy, administering the city-state and keeping order in order for him, and the inhabitants of the place were hostile to all those who came east of the Great River......

In the encounter with Ah Yao, Yun Zhongjun's memory of the fetters of his previous life awakened bit by bit......

A-Yao is very good at lying.

But Guiguzi said that A-Yao's language is different from the lies of the world, and is a repeated combination of a series of dreams, ghost words and meaningless words.

Recently, she talked about Yun Zhongjun.

Yun Zhongjun lives in the clouds, which does not belong to the east side of the great river, nor to the west side of the great river.

He lives in the clouds because he wants to live in the clouds.

There are countless white feathers in the clouds, and even if he loses a feather in the world, he can make up for it in the clouds when he turns around.

One day he flew down from the clouds, because the sun was swallowed up, and the clouds were sucked away, and it was homeless and had nowhere to go, and it saw the horizon turn from white to pale blue, to deep blue and dark blue.

Then the purple blended in, erasing the blue.

It knows that life has changed, and it flies down. Down, down, down. Down, down, down.

It turns out that the world is so low.

Down, down, down. Down, down, down. Yun Zhongjun finally saw where the ground was.

It fell to the ground, the swamp stained its wings, and its feathers were stained purple.

Some people say, since you are so good at flying, then don't fly anymore.

People like to talk like that.

People don't like people to do things they can't do, and they don't like people to see things they haven't seen.

Yun Zhongjun has seen the world above the clouds, so its eyes should be taken away.

People took away its gaze.

But Yun Zhongjun still saw everything, and it still saw more and more beautiful things than they did.

To use him, they kept his wings, but put him in a man's robe, lilac, trimmed with gold, with a red thread tied around his waist and an ornament peculiar to messengers around his neck.

Yun Zhongjun put on his clothes and put on his pants. Putting on his boots and taking them off, his paws could not put them on.

Shoes should also not be worn. That was his weapon in the world.

Yun Zhongjun didn't know what a "weapon" was.

The person he met said to him, "You'd better know sooner."

What it knows is that it will eventually go up. Layer by layer flew off the ground, shaking off the mud on the wings.

It's going to go up.

Eventually.
