Ugly name Snow Lotus, in the twilight of his life, he has been feeling more and more tired recently, his mind is dizzy, and he knows that when he is exhausted, he is waiting for the return date. People are greedy for life and afraid of death, but I am not, although the sideburns are piled up with frost and snow, there is no sigh and grievances, calmly, calmly, calmly, and with a smile. You ask me, how can I be free and easy? Because of my life, I came to be confused, but I walked clearly! I know that although the chaotic time and space are large, there are all flowers that never fall, and all the light that cannot be extinguished! Recalling this life, I have only become a beauty, but I have left a bright one, and I feel selfless regret!

Since I was a child, I have been dull and slow, blind, and lazy, but I have failed in everything, I have not been able to read, I have not been able to cook, I have not been able to sew clothes, and I have not been able to grow fields...... 樗栎 (chū·lì) is mediocre, unbearable, often provokes laughter from neighbors, always worries about the hearts of parents, in the eyes of the teacher, after all, it is a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved! I also know that since I am a naturally useless person, I can't read the history of books, go through the past and the present, and I don't have great ambitions and hidden scriptures, so I just go with the flow, I don't feel sad and compassionate, and I am used to being obedient. Although I was casual and straightforward, I once looked forward to the end of the world and asked Canghai earnestly: "What is the meaning of my existence?" "The sea returns to me with the sound of the waves. I don't understand, and I don't ask. Perhaps, it is precisely because of this purity and harmony that I was born without being provoked by tears. Since I landed, I have not shed a single tear for many years, until then!

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival at the age of sixteen, the sea breeze swept the waves sporadically, there was a mountain shadow at the end of the sea, and the bright moon hung at the end of the mountain. This time, it took a few layers of relationships to send you to Uncle Guo as an apprentice. After this birthday, you are also an adult, so you should have some heart, Ming Dynasty, go with your Uncle Guo! I could only reply, "I did my best!" "I know in my heart that the so-called apprentice is just a sidekick who does errands and obeys the call, but at least it is also a job, and it is a job that only gets for the sake of the face of relatives; I understand better that my mother hates iron but not steel. I don't shirk and let it go.

To say that this Uncle Guo is not an ordinary person, he is the first batch of paleographers in our new China, and he is a proper Taishan Beidou in today's writing world. Therefore, I actually cherish it in my heart. For more than a year, I got up earlier than the rooster, slept later than the big black dog, worked more than the old scalper, and was busy. Because of my pure temperament and great admiration for him, Uncle Guo was also pleased with me—at least, I felt that he did not hate me as much as others did. Following Uncle Guo, I actually know a few oracle bone inscriptions, and I know a little bit about printing techniques. When I was nearly eighteen years old, a major event occurred in the field of paleography, and it was a major event in my life!

In a barren mountain in the east, a quarryman opened the mountain with earth explosives and blew up something remarkable - a metal sharp rod. Originally, it was not too rare to dig out some antiquities, spears and swords, and this metal pointed rod was highly valued, mainly because of its extraordinary weight and the symbols engraved on its body. It is so heavy that it is inconvenient to transport it out of the barren mountains, so the local government can only build a shed in the mountain and set up a temporary research base. The discovery shocked the whole country for a while. The state immediately dispatched relevant archaeologists, historians, naturalists, paleographers, chemists, etc., to form a research team and drive to the mountains. Uncle Guo happened to be on the dispatch list, and I, as his attendant, also went with him.

After discussion, experts and scholars concluded that the metal sharp rod may be an ancient cold weapon spear, but it is difficult to determine which dynasty and which generation, let alone what sect it belongs to. Fortunately, after instrument measurement, the real data related to the spear were obtained: 2.42 meters long, weighing 14999.85 kg (29999.7 kg, about 30,000 kg), the diameter of the trunk is 4 cm, the head of the gun is 45 cm long, and there is a strand of golden hair pattern at the transition between the head and the gun body, followed by multiple circles of heterogeneous lines. Radiographically detected, the gun body is solid. However, the relative atomic mass of the elements contained in the body of the gun is difficult to compare successfully with the periodic table of existing chemical elements, or it is difficult to determine whether it is an element in the universe that has not yet been recognized. In addition, striking is the fact that fifty-three symbols are engraved on the body of the gun. I rubbed the symbols on paper and gave them to Uncle Guo, Aunt Lin, and Uncle Liang. The three of them were scholars of paleographies, reading through the books, scratching their ears and cheeks, but they still had no clue. Don't laugh at their incompetence, it's not that I praise them, whether it's Sumerian or cuneiform, oracle bones, tadpoles...... They are all quite proficient, but the symbol of the gun body is really like a heavenly word! In this way, after a few months, due to the shortage of funds and no progress in research, various experts and scholars were transferred to other places one after another, and only Uncle Guo, Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin's disciple Yan Yan, and I were left in the mountains. The government plans to build a road in the mountains first, and then send trucks to transport the spears to the museum for further research.

But it didn't take long for a bamboo slip from the Han Dynasty to be unearthed somewhere, and the state would send Uncle Guo and Aunt Lin over to help. Aunt Lin said: "Yan Yan is smart, it's okay to stay here!" Yan Yan was frightened and cried: "The mountains are deep and the forests are hidden, I am a girl, how can I make it?" Aunt Lin replied: "The country is in ruins, and there is no difference between men and women who contribute to the country?" You can't have such class limitations, when you chose this path, you should understand that it is not easy! Yan Yan was speechless to refute, crying more and more miserable. I couldn't bear it, so I said, "Uncle Guo! Aunt Lin! Why don't I stay? "You?" Aunt Lin didn't say much. But I could understand from her tone that she knew how difficult it was for me to succeed and was not worried about me. Uncle Guo said with a smile: "Although Xuelian is not as smart as Yan Yan, she is also pure and modest, and she acts wholeheartedly. 30,000 catties of things, even if no one takes care of them, who can take them out of this barren mountain? So, in the end, in this research base in the barren mountains, only me and the spear were left.

Speaking of the spear, the two ends were held up by a jack rack, and it was suspended in the middle. The team built a tin hut around the gun to shelter from the wind and rain. I walked up to the spear and asked, "Lance!" You're only 2.42 meters, but why are you so heavy? As far as I know, the densest ones can't reach this quality, you must have some element in your body that hasn't been discovered yet, right? Of course, the spear didn't answer me. I thought to myself, "This gun is of great historical value, and I want to take care of it!" "Frankly speaking, I don't worry at all that there will be thieves stealing it, which is in line with Uncle Guo's words, after all, who can steal 30,000 catties, and how can he carry this barren mountain? I wiped it carefully every day, talked with each other, never got tired of watching it, and the gun was safe, and in this way, relying on the help and meager allowance of the villagers at the foot of the mountain, another few months passed. The days are boring and boring, although I am occasionally afraid, sometimes I feel lonely and lonely, and I am more content with the status quo.

Where there is a strange behavior, there must be a strange sign! The story, and so it happened.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year, the old lady under the mountain came to the base, carried a basket, and said to me with a smile: "Snow Lotus! This is a home-made mooncake, an apple on your own tree, you have to deal with it! "I am very grateful, and I also know how difficult the people's livelihood is, so I only accepted one apple, and gave some tickets to the hometown aunt, so that she could change the candy for the children at home.

The night is falling, the ice tray is hanging, the silver light is sprinkled on thousands of mountains, and the clear shadow is slightly moving to stir up thousands of waters, which is a full moon night for the Mid-Autumn Festival! I chanted to myself, "Eighteen-year-old Mid-Autumn Festival":

"The canopy hangs wide on the mountain, and the moon wheel hangs alone in the sky. Because of the purity of the heart, do not miss the miserable loneliness! ”

After reading, I walked into the tin hut, lit the oil lamp, and asked with a smile: "Long gun!" Pike! Which dynasty and generation are you, and which craftsman forged for whom? What is the meaning of the symbols engraved on your body? Why are you buried in this barren mountain? I have too many questions for you! Do you know? I am here for you, stay for you, keep for you, remember this fate, regardless of the reason! I don't fight or grab, I don't sigh that youth is passing in the barren mountains, this month's birthday, with you to spend it, I feel that the beauty is incomparable! After saying that, I smirked at the spear, and then said: "I know that many ancient weapons have the name of immortal spirit, such as Ganjiang (gān·jiāng), Mo Xie (yé), Juque, Tai'a, Qinglong Yanyue Knife, Zhangbadian Steel Spear...... Each carries a thousand years of fame, strange as a myth, leading people to reverie! But I want to ask, what's your name? I expect it to be beautiful and moving! Is the word of the Celestial Talisman on your body a record of your name, your origin, your past, everything you have? "I laughed and talked as if the gun understood me.

Thirsty, I took the apple out of my pocket and nibbled on it. In an instant, a sudden numbness like an electric shock pierced my heart vertebrae, and before I could react, I dropped the apple in my hand and fainted to the ground.

I don't know how long it took, I woke up, around, the cold moon and lonely lights, eye-catching, like a dream. I tried to get up, only to realize that I couldn't get up at all! By the light of the moon and the light, and looking closely, I was frightened like a tree, and my face was like ashes. That gun, dropped, was hitting my left foot! That's a 30,000-pound guy! I can't believe it, I don't believe it! I wiped my eyes and looked closer. That's right, that gun, smashed on my left foot! I understood that the numbness like an electric shock before, not because I ate the poisonous apple that the queen gave to Snow White, but because I was hit in the foot by a guy of 30,000 catties! "My feet! My feet ...... "I cried and cried, crying heartbreakingly, crying so much that my intestines and liver were broken, on this Mid-Autumn Festival birthday night, the first and only time in my life, I cried out! "Why? Why? My feet! My feet! Help me! Help...... "I desperately want to push the gun away, just kidding, that's a 30,000-pound guy, with me?" My tears poured down like a torrent of tears, and I roared wildly, uttering the words of sorrow: "Why are you hurting me? I take care of you every day, I see you as a confidant, why do you do this to me? "Tears soaked my clothes. I leaned forward slightly, trying to change the angle, trying to find a gap to pull my foot out, but in vain! "My feet must be crippled! I'm crippled! "I screamed, I was desperate, I was in pain, I panicked, I was terrified, I was overwhelmed...... The tears are getting more and more violent, and they are gushing like a spring, which is the tears that I have accumulated for eighteen years, only this time, all flowing out! The pool of tears soaked the ground and slowly soaked into the body of the gun. I struggled for a long time, and caught a glimpse of the moonlight outside, which was so delicate and beautiful, and I was already weak, and I had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery of the reunion of thousands of families. "I'm wasted! Scrapped! Probably going to die tonight! I said to myself. I couldn't stop crying, I just whimpered, and the tears still flowed. I cried out desperately, "Help—help!" "It's a pity that I'm exhausted, and my voice is only hoarse, not to mention, in a sparsely populated place, the engineering team has only only reached the foot of the mountain to build the road, who can I call for help? I cried in despair, asking myself in despair, "Why did I come to this barren mountain?" Why should I stay? I can't do anything, why did I come to this world? "In despair, I stopped crying and waited for death!

But at this time, the spear, the spear soaked in the tears of my life, shiny all over, shot out thousands of purple and golden lights, converging into a golden light belt, gathering into a golden light circle, paving into a golden light mat, weaving into a golden light carpet, pulling into a golden light curtain, building a golden light wall, and spreading into a golden light sea! I was surprised, I sighed, I was afraid, I trembled, I was stunned, I was confused, I was helpless, I was panicked, I was delighted, I was shocked...... I couldn't count how many emotions and how many shivers in my limbs came out of my heart at that time, I thought it was a dream, covered my eyes with my hands, and then opened them slightly, and watched them breathlessly through the thin fingers. If it's really that gun, it's emitting purple and golden light! I was stunned! I let go of my hands and stared at the sharpshooter with wide eyes, feeling the light shine but not hurt in the slightest. At this moment, I even felt like a princess in a Disney animation, shrouded in a radiant fairy tale world; I even feel like a goddess in a mythological story, flying in the ethereal and fantastic space fairy mansion. I stretched out my palm and spread my fingers, letting the light pass through my fingertips; I held my head high, sat up straight, and the light held me tight. Then, I closed my palms and tried to catch a ray of light, but I saw that the spear, on its own, slowly flew up and hung about a meter above the ground. I'm stunned, I'm stupid, I'm blindfolded, I'm hallucinating! I asked myself, "Snow Lotus! Saussurea! Is this a dream? "But I saw thousands of beams of light shooting at my left foot in a volley, surrounded by a circle, and my numb foot suddenly became conscious, and the indescribable taste in my heart was suspense, carnival, shaking, and amazement......

Looking at the spear, I found that the body of the gun seemed to have words, not the previous fifty-three characters, but more words, more and more hidden blood-red characters! I was bluffed again, and then I got up, got closer, and sure enough, it was a word, red and red, like a bloody word! I touched the body of the gun with my fingertips, and found that the characters on the body of the gun could be picked up by me! I took a word, I didn't recognize it, and put it back; I took out another word, but I still didn't recognize it, and put it back again. I laughed and said, "Sharpshooter, sharpshooter!" If there's anything you want to tell me, if there's anything you need my help with, you have to at least make me understand! These days, I'm a crappy paleographer, how can you let me be? "The gun, as if it understood what I meant, should be moved. I was stunned, then surprised, and said, "Do you understand me?" You must understand me! What are you hinting at me? "I was overjoyed, and I clenched the spear in both hands, and saw that its golden light was brighter, and it shone brightly through the mountains. My heart was surging, my emotions were high, I held it, I held it tightly, and for the first time in my life, I felt that the whole world was in my hands! I flew in the golden light, laughed in the golden light, waited in the golden light, and had the meaning of life in the golden light! I look forward to the spear's response, earnest and sincere. The gun suddenly burst out of my hand, and then turned the tip of the gun and stabbed it straight into my heart! I let out an "ah" cry and passed out again.

When I woke up again, it was dawn, the oil was gone, and everything else was as usual. It's just that the spear is gone! I panicked, dizzy, and didn't know what to do! I thought it was a dream, I hoped it was a dream, and I prayed it wasn't a dream! I tried to calm down for a long time, and walked out of the shed, but I met my fellow aunt who went up the mountain and asked me: "Last night, the purple and golden light of the mountain!" Snow Lotus, have you seen it? I forced a smile and replied: "It is the moon of this Mid-Autumn Festival, which is unusually bright, transparent to the universe, and washes away the dust!" ”

Sitting on the bench in front of the small desk, I pondered like a wood carving, and suddenly felt a pain in my heart, and four words popped out of my mind inexplicably: "Qingbin East Bank"! The more panicked I became, I asked myself, "Am I evil?" Why did I come up with these words? 'Qingbin East Bank', where is it? "I was confused, my limbs trembling, and I sat curled up on a bench, trying to calm myself. But it was a heartache again, and six words came to my mind: "There is a mountain named Yu Qi"! I was cold and panicked. After a while, another sentence came: "The mountain has three peaks"! After that, an idea came to me, and I shouted, "I see! I understand! I stood up "with a bang", my body was no longer cold, my limbs were no longer trembling, my head was no longer dizzy, and my heart was no longer afraid. "I see! It's the blood-red letters on the gun! The spear pierced into my heart, and the blood and red letters on the body of the spear were all engraved in my heart! Every time my heart aches, the words that come to mind are what Sharpspear says to me! I shouted with joy. I have never had such joy, I have never had such amazement, at that moment, I felt that my life was very meaningful from now on! I finally understood the meaning of this dull and sluggish me, the self who failed to do everything, and the self who was useless all the time. I finally understood that all the tears of my life were to accumulate until last night, to infiltrate that spear; I finally understood why I had come to this barren mountain; I finally understood why I chose to stay!

I quickly picked up a pen and paper and jotted down all the words that came to my mind. It hurts, but I love it! I'm looking forward to another heartache, heartache, heartache and heartache so that I can decipher everything about that spear! I want to know it, its name, its origin, its past, its story of everything! Let my heart ache! Let my heart ache as much as I want! But until it got dark, I didn't have any more heartache, I didn't think of any more words! I panicked! I asked myself, "Does it not want me anymore?" Does it think I'm not suitable? Does it also think that I am useless? "I was in a trance, trembling, my head was chaotic, I wanted to cry again, but I wanted to cry without tears! I'm not giving up, I'm still looking forward to it, I'm worried! It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that I had a heartache again, pain and joy, and four words came out: "The middle peak is the peak"! The indescribable joy made me laugh madly and stupidly, and the laughter echoed in this desolate mountain forest. I said to myself, "I got it! Sharpshooter it can't bear it! It doesn't want my heart to ache all the time, so it's a daily limit! I laughed and shouted, "It's a myth!" It's legendary! I'm going to translate the words of the heavenly talisman on the body of the gun, and I'm going to tell this story that no one else knows! ”

In the afternoon, I sorted out the materials and reported the disappearance of the gun. I wrote a lie on the material:

"On the night of August 15 of a certain lunar year, the caretaker Xue Lian, at 21:30, checked the spear as usual, which was still there, and locked the door of the tin house. The next day, on August 16 of a lunar year, the caretaker Xue Lian, at 7:30, opened the door of the tin hut to check the spear - disappeared. The door lock is intact. The caretaker Snow Lotus searched around, but failed to find it, confirming that the spear was missing. Report time: August 16 of a certain year. Reporter : Snow Lotus. ”

No one suspects me of stealing, after all, how can I steal that 30,000 catties of guys? The relevant departments sent people to look around, but of course, there were no clues. The scholars lamented and lamented, but could not do anything.

After that, I received a notice to transfer me back, but in my heart, I didn't want to leave! After all, because of dereliction of duty, I am not qualified to do my original job, even if it is a follower! Uncle Guo was disappointed in me, but out of embarrassment, he arranged for me to do the cleaning work in a library. I am willing to do it, because the meaning of my life is incomprehensible to others. Every time, after my heartache, I feel better. However, it hurt so much that I was often exhausted, and sometimes I even fell asleep sitting on the floor. How many times have I heard people laugh at me like this: "I can't do anything, I lose everything I see, and I can fall asleep when I sweep the floor!" 'Rotten wood can't be carved, and mud can't hold up the wall!' 'She's what she says, too! But I never got angry, never gave any explanation, it was in response to the words of Sage Confucius: "People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen?" "I can't explain where such a pure and harmonious character of mine came from, perhaps, it is innate, it is the chosen one! Every day I am full of anticipation, full of joy, and quietly jaunting the words of my heartache. Swimming in that mythical time and space, my love and hatred originate from everything in mythology. Decades have passed, and yesterday, I had no heartache; Today, too! I know, what Sharpspear wants to say to me, it's done.

I soaked the sharpshooter with the tears of my life, sensed it; I used the heartache of my life to interpret the magic spear and translate the words of the heavenly rune. In my life, I have spent ordinary times in the stacks of books in the library, in the sarcasm of others, and in a touching grudge and hatred. Now, I know that my mission is over, and I know that I am about to go to the ethereal void of high mountains and rivers. Before leaving, I will present the translated myths to the world, and in order to prevent condescension, I will delete its cumbersomeness, reduce its redundancy, take its essence, and polish it, so as not to waste the beginning or the end, and finally complete this book. It is not to make up the new and describe the old, but to carve the ancient and the present; It's not a pen, it's elegant; Because this is the cycle of reincarnation that is completed between destruction and rebirth, between love and hate!

Q: How does this story begin? In other words, it was a purple blood sand on the heart of the Spirit Ancestor, and it hurt a tear in his heart, and a touch of Outer Spirit Yuan wrapped in tears became the essence of tears, and it would not flow out...... A broken bone protected the tearful marrow, a strand of hair wrapped around the purple blood sand, and a speck of dust that fell on the shoulders when the chaos opened, desperately trying to redeem and dominate everything......

Exactly: the heart-wrenching words fall on the tip of the pen, and the myths are narrated.

After all, what's going on? Let's see the next time.
