Chapter 3 Accommodation
The foot of Mount Tai is actually a considerable area, there are countless villages and countless hotels and inns, if it weren't for the girl in yellow who did her homework in advance, we would not have been able to find such a place as the mountain bottom dwelling, because it is really secretive, and in essence it is not a hotel in the strict sense.
Now, if you ask me where the mountain bottom house is, I can't say, because we took a taxi and passed through several villages to get there, Baimashi Village, Aijiazhuang...... I can only remember those two names now.
Countless visions weaved before my eyes.
Like a knife twisted, like a needle prick, like a thorn in the back.
Only then did I slowly realize that the woman in the illusions that appeared earlier was not Yuge, but Qin Se in front of me. Those fantasies are not predicting the future, but telling about the past. I believe it's because I've been here before that I feel so real.
I began to believe that there is an afterlife, because the story of Qin Se made me immersive, and even the pain of parting slowly emerged in my heart, and it felt so real, in a trance, this story seemed to happen yesterday, a love and a scene, vividly.
"I tried to hold her, but she broke free of me......
"You remember." Qin Se said slowly.
"I'm sorry, I'm ......" I felt a dull pain in my heart, and I felt like I was in a fog.
Genser gently covered my mouth, she didn't want me to say any more. "You're not him anymore. I wanted to lie to myself, but you really weren't. Even if you all recall, you're not. ”
She is so plain and elegant in her refined white clothes, and the wind and rain of the world after so many years seem to have never left a trace of dust on her.
"I've never seen that eagerness in your eyes, when you're staring at her." Jean Se and I looked at each other.
"You mean...... Feather Song? ”
"Yuge, what a beautiful name." Qin Se smiled slightly, "I haven't thought of naming her for so many years. ”
"Childe, can you allow me to play the only music?" As he spoke, Qin Se took out a worn-out guzheng from among the weeds by the lake. "I haven't played it in three hundred years."
The zither rose up with a thick layer of dust, like a mist in the moonlight, and Qin Se was hidden in it.
The sound of the piano suddenly started.
I felt the wind suddenly subside, the leaves suddenly stopped falling, and the lake suddenly froze. Even the bright moonlight was erased from its brilliance, and it seemed that there was only a guqin with a low sound left between heaven and earth.
I don't know music, but I can feel the endless desolation in the sound of the piano, to be precise, the music should be cheerful, but under the plucking of the piano, it makes people cry. Some tunes can turn from joy to sorrow in an instant as long as they change slightly.
"Childe, do you remember this song." Jean stopped abruptly and asked me, but the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and I had not yet woken up from that vision.
I shook my head helplessly.
Qin Se frowned, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"This is a phoenix." Genser's voice was already slightly hoarse, "But this should be the last time." ”
I always have an ominous premonition, the scene in front of me seems to disappear at any time, and there is always a taste of goodbye inadvertently revealed in the words of Qin Se.
"Can you tell me now that you left to decipher the ancient text for me, because you loved me, or because you couldn't get used to that poisonous curse." Qin Se put away the grievance, and turned his eyes to reveal a grievance, as if he was saying something that had been buried in his heart for many years.
"I don't remember."
I remember the scene, but I can't recall the feelings of that person in my previous life. I don't know what the reason for his departure? So I can't answer the question. But the scene of that spell was like a bottomless abyss, and as soon as it played back in my mind, I felt a wave of nausea, a tremor of uncontrollable fear.
It was so horrible that I couldn't put pen to paper the horror of that image. The birdmen felt like their souls had been hollowed out, and they couldn't stop wailing, and the spell was causing them untold pain.
I can now finally understand why these birdmen would behave so cowardly when the enemy is coming, and only care about their own life and death. Because this island has long been reduced to a cage for them, and survival is only their only luxury.
"What is this spell for? Is it just for this that they are subject to your rule? ”
Qin Se just smiled bitterly a few times and didn't say anything.
I didn't ask anymore and let everything fall silent.
"That spell won't be there anymore." The voice of the Soul suddenly returned to the moonlit night. "We made a pact before, if you bring back the answer to the ancient text, I will unravel this spell."
"Gense, you really ......" I couldn't believe my ears.
"I haven't taught anyone this spell, and after ego, it will be gone forever in this world."
"Thank you." I thought to myself that she was so reasonable

, It seems that all this is far less complicated than Yu Ge said.
"You don't have to thank me, this spell was born because of love, and it should die because of love." As he spoke, he took out the sachet from his body. "Take it, it's yours."
Then I saw the red feather caught between her fingers, like a firework in the night.
"I don't understand, what does it mean to be born of love?" I was very confused by what he said.
"The karmic fire burns away the negative people in the world, and also liberates the infatuated people in the world." Qin Se muttered to herself.
"You don't want to do this, can you please tell me bluntly?"
"Tell them, and say I'm tired of this island and flew away alone." Ice crystals gleazed in Qinse's eyes. "I also told them that in the future, everyone on the island will be free, and they can go wherever they want."
Qin Se's words caused a panic in my heart, is she going to fly away? Is this the price of unlocking spells? This is a bit excessive.
"Kinder, if unlocking this spell will cause you pain, forget it." I said tentatively. "Yuge will be sad to know that you will leave, maybe I should leave here alone."
Once again, her slender fingers covered my mouth. "Don't say that again, don't be like you in your past life. You were wrong in your previous life, and don't be wrong again in this life. ”
She gently gave me a kiss, a kiss as thin as a cicada's wing, and it disappeared in an instant.
"Childe, farewell."
Suddenly, she flew into the sky, spread her wings, and she stretched out her hands and waved them in the air like a harp again, the red feather swirling around her as if it had come to life, and the feathers on her wings kept being shaken off from above. Her brow furrowed, her forehead covered with drops of sweat, her lips twitching slightly.
It shouldn't be like this.
I could clearly see the white feathers shining through the moonlight.
That's when I realized that this spell wasn't that simple, it looked a lot like a ritual that would make the caster disappear forever.
"Don't, Jean."
Chinser didn't even bother to stop, she waved her hand faster, she closed her eyes and didn't look at me again. More and more feathers began to fly in the air, bits of white, like a bleak snowfall.
"Sadness and sadness parting, happy and happy new acquaintances." Qin Se recited mournfully.
Suddenly, the originally soft moonlight seemed to be an arrow piercing the heart, Qin Se seemed to have been pierced in the moonlight, and the moonlight sprinkled down, and she no longer had a shadow left. She is air, she is fog, she is a figureless being.
"No, Jean, stop."
But she couldn't hear it.
A red light stained the entire sky, eclipsing the stars and the moon.
I instinctively covered my eyes, unable to stare at the blinding glare.
The karmic fire feather suddenly burst, and the other feathers also burned into a fierce flame, and Qin Se was devoured in it.
Then I heard a voice from the sky, a voice I had heard before, the dusk of the fierce battle with the fish demon, this woman's voice had broken directly into my body, and it came from the feather that was on fire. "Child, you shouldn't fall in love with a Xuanyuan descendant, they don't deserve it."
"Ahh
From the flames came the heart-rending cry of the piano.
And so it was gone! There was no longer her fluttering figure in white clothes in the moonlight.
All that remained was the charred feathers, swaying alone in the wind, drifting in the direction of the settlement.
It was then that I understood why that song was the last time she played it, and I understood why this spell never existed again. Looking at the flying feathers, I lost all my strength. It's that I'm so selfish, and the spell I've always wanted to unravel requires sacrificing this flawless face.
Haori and Haka flew down from the sky and lifted me up as I collapsed.
"Childe, what's going on? Just now we saw a red light. Haori asked me anxiously.
"Jean Se...... She unlocked the spell. "I don't even have the strength to speak.
"What about Mom? How did she disappear. Yuge shook me, as if sensing something.
"Chinse, she flew away." I repeated it as Jean had said.
"Flew away? How can it be. "Bingxue's smart Yuge obviously won't believe my understatement.
"She was so sad that she said I wasn't that person at all, and she flew away." All I can say is that I can't bother to tell them the truth.
Haori grimaced. "Childe, if that's the case, I'm going to hurry back to the settlement now, those of my fellow clans have been unlocked the spells that have plagued them for more than three hundred years, and now they must be in chaos."
"Miss Yuori, before leaving, Qin Se asked me to tell you that you will give your people freedom in the future." This was the last thing Qin Se asked me, and I will not forget it.
"I see." Haori turned around and prepared to leave. "Childe, you

Let's go with my sister. ”
"Girl, wait a minute." I stopped her and took out the sachet. "This is what Jean gave me, but I think I'll leave it to you. This is the stuff of your people. ”
Haori took the sachet and smiled bitterly, then returned the sachet to me. "This sachet is your mother's heart for your previous life, you better take it away."
This inconspicuous sachet is in my hands at the moment, and I can't bear its weight.
"Childe." Haori was a little hesitant when she said this. "Do you know why Mother cast this spell that has been banned from our clan for many years?"
Haori took a deep breath.
"I was young, but I remember the scene vividly. At that time, on the first day of her mother's leadership, she proposed to the following clansmen the idea of marrying scholars, hoping to get the praise and blessings of her fellow clansmen. But what she got was endless accusations and slanders, and those people all screamed to eat the scholar, and her mother had no choice but to use the vicious spell as a protection for the scholar. Haori paused for a moment. The scholar didn't understand the birdman language at that time, and only thought that his mother did it for the sake of power. ”
Born by love, died by love, I realized at this moment.
After Haori finished speaking, she gave Hago another hug. "Sister, I hope you made the right choice."
"Sister......" Yuge couldn't help but cry, and she immediately got into Yuori's arms.
"Childe, you have to take care of my sister, or I'll settle accounts with you." Haori winked at me and smiled slightly.
He got up and flew away, never looking back.
"Let's go." Yu Ge shook me who was standing still. "I've already told my sister about the Thunder Resistance, and I'm sure my sister will have a way to convince my fellow people."
Yu Ge took me to the riverbank, the woods, and the lake, and I didn't want to see these scenes anymore, for fear of hurting the scene.
We came to the coast, after the baptism of war, here is already full of bruises, the wreckage of the fish demon army warship floats alone on the calm sea, witnessing the smoke of yesterday. When I looked closely, I saw a figure banging at a warship. The ship was tethered to the stake that our motorboat had been tethered to at the time.
I am familiar with this figure, it is my friend Long Shao, it turns out that he collected the wreckage on the sea today, and put it together into a complete ship, this ship looks majestic, much more atmospheric than our motorboat at that time, Long Shao can always surprise me, I didn't expect him to have such a craft.
"Brother Quan, you are finally here, I will repair all the warships for you, haha, Haha, Haori said that if you fly back directly, it will inevitably cause alarm, so it is safer to take a boat back." Long Shao wiped the sweat from his face, it seemed that he had been tinkering with this matter today.
"Long Shao, thank you." I hugged Long Shao tightly, I really wanted to tell Long Shao these stories that I didn't dare to tell Yu Ge, how much I hoped that he could go back with me. "Brother, have you really decided to stay here? There is no freedom here. ”
"Brother Quan, what is freedom? In fact, the days when I did a group performance in Beijing were like nightmares, I was tired of running every day and night, but I still lived in the ridicule and ridicule of others, and that kind of life was like a bottomless pit, constantly sucking my vitality, do you know that just because I am a fat person, I am crowded in the subway every day and others look at me strangely? Is this freedom? Long Shao's tone was very deep, his eyes were full of sadness, it was an expression I had never seen before, "But since I came here, I have become the person I dreamed of, although the people here are very weird, but they have the least respect for me, if it is really a dream, I also hope that I can live in this dream for the rest of my life." ”
Long Shao's words make me unable to refute anything, I know that every word he says is sincere, life has changed everyone, he has now made his own choice, and perhaps the most correct choice. Freedom is not just about removing the shackles from your body, only being with the right person in the place you like is called freedom.
"Alright then, take care." I tapped him on the shoulder, hoping he would be happier.
"Well, Brother Quan, you must come back to see me." Long Shao hugged me tightly, and then whispered to me, "The main thing is that there are beauties with me, who is willing to go." ”
Long Shao, there is really you, it seems that I really didn't misunderstand you. We both burst out laughing.
"Long Shao, you have to hurry back to the settlement, my sister may be in trouble now, and my clansmen may have to go to war with her." Yu Ge said.
"Really? I'm going to get you away. Long Shao said anxiously, "How can a girl bear all this." ”
I pulled Yuge onto the boat, and with a strong push from Major General Long, the boat slowly floated, and I gently flicked the oars on both sides, and drove little by little in the direction we had come.
The water waves under the boat spread in circles, and the moonlight sprinkled quietly, outlining this parting picture with exquisite ink, sometimes fate is like this, you don't know where to put the pen, but you can always give birth to an unexpected flower. In just a few days, it seems that there has been an endless long and poignant story.
