The origin of the Barren Moon Continent is because the moon here is completely different from the moon of other continents, the moon in the sky here is huge and desolate, and its area is five to six times that of the moon of other continents, which is clearer and brighter......

Every clear night, the peaks in the moon are so clear and desolate, the rolling mountains, the ravines of different depths, and the vertical and horizontal directions of Qianmo are deeply engraved in the hearts of every mortal on this continent, just like the imprint of the years trampled on the bluestone slabs on the stream in his hometown.

The New Year is a festival that grows in the hearts of every mortal in the Barren Moon Continent, reunited, warm, and grand.

It is set in the middle of December every year, the day when the moon is at its fullest, people sing and dance under the full moon, take out the best monsters of the year, hold up the best wine in the house, or celebrate with the city, or have fun with the family.

They are not drunk in the bright moonlight, and they point to the sky and talk about their ambitions.

The talented people drank and wrote poems to reprimand Fang Xuan, and the beauties beat the drums under the moon to spread the flowers and eyebrows.

............

At this time, the sky was slightly dark, and a huge full moon appeared in the sky, Li Yan sat on the platform, looking at the mountains in the distance, which were already a little blue and hazy, and looked into the distance in confusion, as if he wanted to travel thousands of miles and return to the foot of the familiar green mountains.

Li Yan came out today, not just to practice immortal arts, a few days ago when he saw the giant moon in the courtyard at night, he had already aroused the nostalgia in his heart, calculating that the time was already the end of the year, and the new year was coming.

It has been more than a year since he came out of the mountain village, and last year's New Year was spent in death, although he also had homesickness at that time, but he did not dare to slack off.

Today, looking at the full moon as in previous years, all kinds of thoughts come to mind.

Early this morning, he didn't have much heart to meditate, so he came to the platform in advance to practice immortal arts while waiting for the bright moon to rise.

Li Yan looked into the distance blankly, now the village should already be firecrackers, flashing golden butter, the fragrant monster tribute should also be placed under the old willow tree at the head of the village, the children in the village should be around these tributes drooling and chasing and playing a few circles, and then in the shouting and scolding of the adults, run to the end of the village, after a while, and then run back to the village in a frolicking and playing, from time to time to look at the full moon in the sky, hoping that it will rise to the top of the old willow tree as soon as possible, then you can start to worship the ancestors, and then you can eat a large piece.

The village chief would take a bowl of wine and take a bite with every man in the village, and he would pat each child on the head so that they could grow up quickly, and in the middle of the night, he would sleep with the old willow tree in his arms and sleep against the huge moon until dawn.

Daddy rarely smiled, took a few puffs of cigarettes, drank a few sips of spirits with a group of old friends, and pointed a few words at his children with a cigarette pouch from time to time.

The third brother would limp to sit down beside his father, look at him with a smile, and occasionally whisper a few words to make him drink less.

Like other women in the village, the mother and the fourth sister are constantly serving fragrant meat and steamed buns, and occasionally meet the descendants of the village, while the mother and those aunts laugh loudly, point and point, and then look at their own girls, and say a few words in their ears from time to time.

The fourth sister, like the young girls in the village, always blushed after hearing those words, and continued to deliver food after twisting it.

The descendants of the village blushed and looked at the four sisters in the midst of a commotion.

............

Li Yan looked into the distance blankly, and before he knew it, he burst into tears.

After a long time, Li Yan retracted his gaze and looked up at the huge bright moon that seemed to be close above his head, and familiar faces seemed to be born in the full moon.

He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, stood up in front of the moon, straightened his clothes and knelt down, muttering "Dad, mother, New Year...... Okay, new ...... Good year", and then kowtowed respectfully a few times.

Just as he was about to stand up, a somewhat cold, but somewhat hesitant voice came from behind him, "You...... Among you mortals, is there really such a thing as a year pass?"

Li Yan stood up when he heard this, and immediately turned around, "Who?"

He looked back, and at this time, at the edge of the platform behind him, Huo Ran stood a slender and slim woman in white, looking at him with a somewhat hesitant expression.

"Is it you?" Li Yan was knocked into his heart, and his heart suddenly became angry, and there was a bit of reproach in his words.

At this time, the moonlight was like silver pouring all over the platform, the light was excellent, and Li Yan could see the person at a glance, it was the senior sister who had met a few months ago, Zhao Min!

At this time, Zhao Min was standing at the edge of the bamboo forest when the platform came, dressed in white clothes fluttering lightly in the wind, and his handsome face carved like white jade in the moonlight added a bit of holy white light. A pair of black and white eyes under the thick eyebrows still looked at Li Yan with a little coldness.

"What? Am I not here here?" she saw that Li Yan was stern, and her thick eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Li Yan also frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart, "Yes, this is not my own small bamboo courtyard, why can't the other party come?", but he still asked the next moment, but his tone had eased.

"This is Xiaozhu Peak, it seems that the other four peak disciples are only halfway up the mountain, and the disciples of other peaks will not come here on weekdays. ”

In the past few months, he had only met a few other peak disciples halfway up the mountain, but it seemed that except for the few paths he had seen, those people had never settled in the rest of Xiaozhu Peak, as if they were restricted. Therefore, he also asked the second senior brother in the main hall when he received the spirit stone, and knew that those paths were just as he guessed, they were a few places where Xiao Zhufeng went on a mission, and those disciples were obviously here to do the task.

"You know something, but can't I come to the back mountain?" Obviously, the girl in white was a little dissatisfied with Li Yan's previous attitude.

"No, no...... It's just that there are few other peak disciples coming over in this back mountain" Li Yan didn't really ask the senior brother if the disciples of other peaks were not allowed to come here, but he had never seen the disciples of other peaks, and his heart was broken just now, so he blurted out in a hurry, and now he felt as if he was a little unreasonable, and he couldn't help scratching the back of his head with his hand.

When Zhao Min saw him like this, it was not good to be angry anymore, and she also walked with her heart today, and she came here involuntarily, and she was a little curious when she heard what Li Yan said, she had heard the word "New Year" among mortals since she was a child, it seemed to be very grand, lively, and very important, but she had never seen it.

"Oh, this is a place I used to come to often, but then I didn't come to Xiaozhu Peak anymore, but I came less, you are right, the disciples of this mountain peak are not allowed to come. Although Zhao Min's tone was softened, it was still cold, and as she spoke, she walked lightly to the platform, and slowly walked to the edge of the platform, facing the huge full moon.

Li Yan listened to it for a while, and said in his heart, "Listening to her words, it seems that she was also a disciple of Xiaozhufeng before, is she one of those disciples who left Xiaozhufeng?" In this way, it is not unusual for her to come here, and she seems to come here very often. ”

The beautiful woman in front of Li Yan stood on the edge of the cliff, her eyes were a little confused looking at the giant moon, and after a while, she looked at the rolling mountains in the distance under the night, the silver moon sprinkled on her body, such as the face of the white jade carving with delicate white light, standing in the wind, the clothes blown by the mountain wind fluttered backwards, making the clothes tightly wrapped around the body, wrapping the two peaks in front of the chest more and more upright, and the slender and straight legs were even more abrupt, like the moon palace fairy coming down, Li Yan couldn't help but be stunned.

After Zhao Min asked, she immediately fell into her own thoughts, and after a while, when she retracted her confused gaze, she didn't hear any movement behind her, she couldn't help frowning, and looked at the side of her face obliquely back, what she saw was Li Yan's appearance of a pig brother, staring at herself blankly, and couldn't help but have a jade face, and snorted lightly.

Li Yan woke up like a dream when he heard this spit, his black face couldn't help but flush, he coughed dryly twice, and hurriedly replied, which he was using to divert his attention.

Zhao ...... Senior Sister Zhao, we have this 'New Year' Pass there, and I haven't been to other places that are too far away, but I heard from people in the village who have been far away from the door that there are also some people, but it seems that there is no New Year's Pass in this sect, and I didn't see any New Year's Pass dress and atmosphere when I came out today. ”

"Hmph, in addition to cultivation, or cultivation in the sect, what kind of warmth can there be...... You, can you tell me about the New Year in the mortal world?" After Zhao Min heard this, a trace of disdain appeared on his white jade-like face, and he snorted lightly in his pretty nose, paused, and then asked again.

After hearing this, Li Yan was a little puzzled in his heart, "This Senior Sister Zhao actually said such disrespectful words to the sect, but she is so bold, and she is not afraid of being listened to by others in the sect, if you let the elders and the Law Enforcement Hall know, it will not be good." ”

"Hasn't Senior Sister Zhao ever been to a mortal town? she grew up in the Immortal Gate since she was a child?" Li Yan had a lot of questions, but he just thought about it. He said in his heart, "It seems that this senior sister entered earlier than the seventh senior brother, the seventh senior brother was only discovered by the immortal gate at the age of twelve, and this senior sister may have entered the immortal gate since she was a child or was ignorant." ”

After listening to Li Yan's words, Zhao Min was silent for a while, and then sat down at the edge of the platform, she hung a pair of long legs in the air outside the platform, swayed gently, raised her face to look at the night sprinkled with silver light in the distance, and murmured in her mouth, "I have never been in a mortal town, but I heard some senior brothers and sisters say that it is very calm and lively, and the calm sunrise and sunset rest, day after day, year after year; Friends often get together, children gather around their parents' knees, lanterns chase and play with playmates of the same age, and families can often happily gather around a table and talk...... But I've only heard it and never experienced it. ”

Li Yan stood behind Zhao Min, looked at her pretty back, listened to her whispering, and couldn't help but think of her hometown, her sister and her playmates in the village.

He unconsciously took a few steps forward, came to the platform, and sat down on the other edge of the platform that was some distance away from the girl in white, sighed, saw the girl's back, and felt that she was a little lonely, he suddenly calmed down in his heart, and thought about it, what she asked was just folk customs that almost everyone knew, not to mention that he didn't want to go back earlier today, so he said softly.

"The mortal world has the fun of the mortal world, but there is also the great joy and sorrow of life, my hometown is at the foot of the Daqing Mountain, which is millions of miles away from here, the village is not big, dozens of families, the village is surrounded by terraced fields, there is an old willow tree at the head of the village, every time the year comes, it is already spring, the rape fields outside the village are open layer by layer, all kinds of wild flowers are also scattered in the meantime, on the day of the New Year's pass, families begin to prepare the most abundant food of the year early in the morning, the children play in the village, the mother and sister and the aunts of the same village take out the monster meat and flour from their respective homes, and begin to cook or fry all kinds of delicacies, the smoke curls up, and the aroma wafts all over the villageAnd the father and the third brother worked with the other villagers to tidy up the ancestral shrine, place tributes, and clean up the house............"

Under a bright full moon, only the breeze was quietly blowing, and a pair of boys and girls were hanging on the edge of the platform, looking up at the bright moon and talking.

The huge moon seemed to contain the two figures in a white halo circle, and occasionally the girl asked softly, and Li Yan slowly told about the ordinariness of the mortal world......
