It is said that Lu Yang fulfilled his long-cherished wish in the 'Realm of Joy'. Achieved fame and returned to his hometown in Runan as an official. He was selfless, cared about the people's livelihood and welfare, led the people to dig ditches, diverted river water to irrigate the fields, and made outstanding political achievements, and did not take anything from the people. The people were praised.

Time flies, but it is as early as August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival. The breeze was refreshing, and the Yulu met for the first time, and the county of Runan became rich quickly under the management of Lu Yang. On the occasion of this festival and wonderful month, the people made wine and slaughtered pigs, hung flowers and hung colors, and spontaneously arranged a ten-mile feast to celebrate the annual sunset moon event.

On the night of the festival, the begonia flowers bloom, and the moon shines in the night sky. Lu Yang wanted to have fun with the people, so he changed out of his official uniform, put on the clothes of ordinary people, and joined the people's wedding banquet with an entourage. In this Mid-Autumn Festival, the people have the custom of making moon cakes by hand, which are filled with halva and bean paste, which are delicate and elegant. Its shape is as round as the moon, and it symbolizes people's expectations for beauty and reunion.

The people warmly invited Lu Yang and Lu Hengchuan to have a banquet and drink and admire the moon. The two of them sat down, but saw that the moon in the distant sky was like water, like thousands of bright lights, blurring the silent sea of stars and dust. At this time, the moon before the flowers, the wind is good, and the beauty is intoxicating.

Three glasses and two thin glasses of wine into his throat, Lu Yang was also a little immersed in it, he came to this dream-like world in a daze, but he also enjoyed it. He was reluctant to pay attention to the things that irritated him, even though in the previous 'Realm of Wrath' he had seen that there was greed and a dark side to this world. But he also recognized himself in anger and hatred. Now, he just wants to do his best to benefit the people under the rule, and he has never had a trace of greed.

In the wine glass in front of him, the shadow turned into the moon on the horizon, and in the enchanting moonlight, there seemed to be a long road that could be seen but not seen, unchanged for eternity, guiding people to move forward. But what will you gain at the end of that cloud and fog?

At this time, Lu Yang didn't know whether he should go towards his dream, chasing the clear moonlight, or immersing himself in an illusory world here? He had too many ties, reluctance to his teacher and his hometown Runan, and expectations for the people's livelihood. But for some reason, he never got out of the maze in his heart. The figure that existed in his memory seemed to call him sadly in this illusory place. So he never dared to dallow too much in joy.

"According to legend, a long time ago in Zhongzhou, there were ten days together. At that time, day and night overturned, and the fields were scorched. The people were struggling to survive, and a warrior stood up, he had unparalleled superb archery skills, and with a sun-shooting bow in his hand, he shot down nine suns in one go, and was regarded as a great hero who saved the world by the people. This big hero is called Hou Yi, he is like a god, a beloved warrior. ”

Beside Lu Yang, those innocent children ate moon cakes and gathered around the old mother-in-law, listening to her tell the ancient story.

"Hou Yi has a beautiful wife named Chang'e. The people envied this fairy couple. One day, Hou Yi went to the distant Kunlun Mountain to ask for immortals and ask for immortal medicine. This immortal elixir, if a person eats it, is enough to feather and ascend to immortality, leaving the world and going to the heavenly fairyland. However, Hou Yi didn't want to leave his wife to become an immortal alone, so he handed over the elixir of immortality to Chang'e for safekeeping. ”

"But there is a despicable subordinate named Peng Meng, who wants to steal the immortal elixir and live forever himself. So he waited for the opportunity, and when Hou Yi went out hunting, he broke into Hou Yi's house, coerced Chang'e, and handed over the immortal elixir to him. That Pengmeng was really bad, and he forced Chang'e to give him the medicine, otherwise, he would kill her with a sword. ”

"What happened later? Did Sister Chang'e give the medicine to that bad guy?" the children asked curiously.

"Later, ah......" The silver-haired old woman looked at the full moon in the sky, and said gloomily: "Chang'e did not let Pengmeng's conspiracy succeed under the crisis, she swallowed the immortal medicine, and slowly, she flew up and flew towards the distant night sky. ”

"That night, as it was tonight, the moon was very large, like a jade plate. Hou Yi was galloping in the mountains on horseback, but saw her beautiful wife flying away in the sky. She waved a long cuff and waved goodbye to Hou Yi, who shouted her name, and galloped desperately, trying to catch up with Chang'e, but he couldn't catch up with Chang'e, who flew into the sky, he could only look at Chang'e, flying farther and farther, and flew to the distant Moon Palace. ”

"Look, is there some black shadow in the moon? That is Chang'e, who is on the distant moon, thinking of her husband Houyi. The old woman pointed to the moon, and the children followed her, but in the distant sky, the bright moon and the stars reflected each other, but the distance between this world and the stars and the moon was not more than thousands of miles, thousands of miles?

Lu Yang listened to the story silently on the side, he seemed to remember something, the beautiful story of Hou Yi and Chang'e has been circulating in Zhongzhou for an unknown amount of time. Chang'e ran to the Moon Palace alone, and since then she has been separated from Hou Yi forever, missing her wife, and making moon cakes to express her lovesickness for Chang'e. However, in this moon cake, there seems to be a voice telling the unforgettable thoughts that have been passed down for thousands of years.

He was eating moon cakes, and he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and Hou Yi had people in mind, but what about him? Although Lu Yang was in joy now, where was the person he was thinking about waiting for the king's return?

Lu Yang felt the feelings in his chest, and unconsciously surged into his heart, and at that moment he left the table and came to the long pavilion outside the city alone, looking at the moon in the distance alone, nostalgic. For a long time, I could hear the sound of the piano song, echoing in the pavilion, the moon shining on the sky and the sea, and there was silence between the four fields, but the string sound was poignant and soft, but it was not like the tune of the Central Plains.

With the mellow wine in his arms, he sat on the pavilion with his clothes open, and let the wind blow that night, sending a burst of coolness. For a while, I couldn't help but feel a little excited, and I didn't know where to sigh lovesickly. Seeing the cold moon and long smoke, the autumn water is cold. And his own lonely shadow is alone, leaning on the oblique railing, but he can't keep thinking in his heart. Where the affection is imposed, the willow is folded for the pen, and the words are born in the book. It is difficult to dispel the lingering thoughts in my heart.

"Alas! The poems are all miserable, and they pity each other a few times. Lu Yang let out a long sigh, leaving only half a remnant on the ground, and turned around. But I saw a blue-eyed and blonde exotic girl, sitting alone in the pavilion, playing the brilliant golden harp with her bare hands. The music she composed is very different from the qin songs of the Central Plains, a little less elegant, but more of that faint melancholy rhyme. couldn't help but arouse Lu Yang's thoughts, this exotic girl played, just like him at this time, is in the end of the world, I don't know where I am, how can outsiders understand the meaning of loneliness?

The harp is melodious, echoing in the moon pavilion, she gently plays the strings, in her piano sound, Lu Yang seems to have walked into the dream she depicted, where is an empty and distant starry sky, the sound of the harp in the ears, echoing in this vast and fantastic world. With the blowing of the night wind, her strange beauty loomed under the veil, and in her sapphire-like pupils, there was such a deep beauty and sorrow.

At the end of the song, Lu Yang just woke up from a dream, the beautiful sound of the harp, so that the sorrow that he had been gathering in his heart for a long time seemed to be shattered with the sound of the piano, he understood that the exotic girl who appeared in front of him played an extraordinary sound, presumably she also has a story hidden deep in his heart to rely on.

"This is the piano that my sweetheart gave me. She smiled at Lu Yang, she was really beautiful, if it was about her face, this beautiful girl who came from nowhere, who seemed to look like a foreign Hu person, was not inferior to the beautiful woman in the Central Plains.

I only heard her speak in a non-standard Central Plains dialect: "My name is Jielaxia, today, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in this land, although it has been many years since I came here. But I always miss my hometown, and the man who promised to wait for me. ”

"The sound of the girl's piano is very different, not like the rhythm of the Central Plains, but I don't know where the girl came from?" Lu Yang asked in surprise. She is not like the women of the country of the western part of the sea who always carry a trace of charm, nor is she like the desert outside the border, the people are fierce, and the women are not graceful. But in the feeling she brings to people, there is a trace of holiness and elegance, which is different from the girls in Zhongzhou and even the surrounding countries.

"I'm from another world. That world, called Augustus, is my homeland. She looked at the night sky in the distance, held her heart in her hands, and said quietly: "Just like the story of Chang'e and Hou Yi in this world, the distance between us is very far, across the distance of the galaxy, but I don't know if we will see each other again, my love." ”

"It seems that you are also an extraordinary person. She said to Lu Yang: "Your talent is very strong, stronger than anyone I have ever seen, if you become a knight in our kingdom, you will definitely be the most powerful." However, in your eyes, I see that you are in a confused illusion. I have the ability to read minds, and although I can see through your past, I can't see through your future. ”

"I don't know what to choose, but there has always been someone in my heart, and she seems to be the most important thing to me. Lu Yang said gloomily: "I don't know if this joyful world is true, or if the world I was in was true." I would love to stay here, but there is a voice in my heart calling me to find my way. ”

"Listen to the voice of your heart and think back, the important person in your heart. And, trust fate. The path you are going to embark on will be the right choice for you. She whispered, and in an instant, she turned into golden shattered shadows and disappeared between heaven and earth.
