Yao's biographical record.

When she was young, the deer girl Ayao accidentally broke into the edge of the city of the Eastern God and was besieged by the villagers there. The villagers wanted to kill her and sacrifice her to the east god along with the offerings. The Eastern God Messenger Yun Zhongjun let her go.

When A-Yao reappeared in the City of Eastern Gods, she was already a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and her lies could easily deceive any adult, and her pranks were so varied that she always made children cry. However, compared to the panic caused by Ah Yao, Dongshen was more concerned about the message she brought. It turned out that in a series of events, what she left behind was the symbol and password that Guiguzi wanted to pass on to him: the conflict between Chu and Han was exacerbated by a miraculous movement, and the iron cavalry may trample to the great river valley to find the lost power for his own use.

Ah Yao's confusion about the world is much more than what adults talk about. Compared with Yun Mengze's future, she cares more about her past. The closer you get to the Toshin Palace, the more dream-like fragments of memories flood in: she is a young deer living with a lone bird that is also helpless, and one day the sounds of armies and fighting pour into the forest, and they try to hide but are swept away......

While delivering a message to Dongshen, Ah Yao tried to find clues to her partner in the palace, but she didn't understand that the bond was in the hands of the person who was against her - what a person Yun Zhongjun hated. When she was a child, she was actually infatuated with him!

Yun Zhongjun has been unable to see things since he was a child, and he is used to sketching pictures in his mind according to people's descriptions. Dongshen once said that the world in Yun Zhongjun's mind is clearer and lighter than reality.

Recently, he thought about Ah Yao, and then thought about everything in this world, Ah Yao is a girl related to the forest.

Guiguzi gave her a magic staff and taught her to guide Xuanweizi and master the spell that stimulates the growth of matter. When A-Yao walks through the barren land, green vines will grow, green vines will become trees, and forests will become forests. This is the expected picture. A-Yao is still a child, and the things she summons to grow often turn into a wisp of green smoke halfway through.

A-Yao's language is dewy and survives in the night and darkness. When daylight comes, it flickers and then fades away.

And Yun Mengze has almost no daylight.

Yunmengze has no daylight and no light. Bounded by a great river, the dark forest to the east and the dark city to the west. Both Guiguzi and Dongshen have seen miracles, but in their hands grow completely different worlds.

The eastern god was in the air, and when he blew a breath to the west of the great river, the castle of the eastern gods was born. Believers bow down to the eastern gods. The East God is nowhere to be seen, and people only know that he always rises into the sky and devours the clouds and sun. Darkness is the gift of the Eastern God to the entire Yunmengze. Darkness makes people immortal.

The forest is also in the dark. People say that because Guiguzi is much shorter than Dongshen, he is more interested in studying geography than celestial phenomena. Guiguzi is convinced that power comes from the ground, and if a person places his palm on the earth, he will naturally understand that all things are equal to him. Guiguzi explored Xuanweizi after a long time, and Xuanweizi brought the forest overnight. Forests spread east of the great river, and they flickered and disappeared from the valleys.

Ah Yao jumped, and when she landed, the world seemed to be stretched open by the power of vines. From the first time she broke into the west of the Great River, the panic in the City of the Eastern Gods never stopped. No one has ever seen anyone like this. First of all, wear too little. Secondly, I always like to put my hands on the ground. "Dirty on the ground" is a truth that all human beings must know after birth, and this person is already a teenager.

Again, very bad. The children were afraid of her unpredictable rhetoric, and the adults were embarrassed by her sudden eccentricity. In the past, the name of Toshin could scare children into obedience, but now when children are made to cry by A-Yao, they always call Toshin. But once did Toshin come down from the sky for these things.

The king of the clouds reported the panic caused by Ah Yao, and the east god tossed up half of the rotten apples in the sacrifice.

"Let her make more trouble here."

The apple faded its last luster in his hand and turned into the color of the three balls that surrounded him.

"Don't let her break my window with a stone one day."

The palace windows were shattered.

There was a brief silence.

"Shall I say it a second time?" Toshin asked, "You go and take care of it." “

…

In Yao's childhood...

"It was the deer spirit who brought you to us." Since childhood, my mother said to Ah Yao in the cradle. Sadness also crept into her heart, one day in the future, will it take her away again?

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, not a gust of wind blew, no one appeared, he, he didn't scare those people away, he didn't come from the 'land of destruction,' he didn't have wings, he didn't wear human clothes, his feet weren't 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, 'Where are you from, Little Deer?' 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.

How could she not understand her daughter's mind, she is a little fond of this Divine Monarch in the clouds.
