Su Yun stood quietly in front of the wooden door. Outside the town, a spotted fox had its head covered with bruises from trying to catch a mole. Foxes were elusive and jumping around in the snow. The people who were making cooing sounds in the trees were villagers from Linyi Village, who were whispering to each other about whether they should catch a fox to eat.
Su Yun slowly withdrew his gaze. He saw Tianmen Town, the small town where he had lived for nearly fourteen years, became illusory, like a mirage in the mist, shaking with the winter wind.
He saw the residents of Tianmen Town, their figures in the mist, powerful, incredible, but without substance.
Boom, boom.
The sound of Qiang drums rang out in the town, a musical instrument unique to Shuofang.
“… The rise and fall of generations is like the waxing and waning of the moon! Boom boom!”
Su Yun looked in the direction of the voice. His eyes passed by Baozi Zhang who was selling steamed buns, Uncle Xu who was drunk, Grandpa Le and Grandma Le who were sitting under the eaves holding hands and stepping on their legs, the newlywed couple Yan Feiling, and Sister Fang'er...
These people he was familiar with became illusory, and when his eyes passed by them, he saw the familiar figures twisting, swelling, and becoming hideous in the haze.
Their familiar faces became strange, like the ghosts and gods in the temple!
They are like ghosts and gods, standing in the mist of Tianmen Town.
The unique accent of the people of Shuofang came from the gradually thickening fog, carrying the vastness of the loess and the majesty of the mountains, and singing along with the Qiang drum: "The mountain family has books piled on the desk, dong dong! Pine trees hang by the window, and ferns cover the ground. Dong dong!"
Tears welled up in Su Yun's eyes. The ghosts and gods in the mist turned their heads, and their gazes gave him a familiar feeling.
They are already dead.
All the residents of Tianmen Town had already died in the disaster six years ago.
They stayed here and created the illusion of Tianmen Town, actually to take care of him!
"Why bother to visit a noble family? Dongdong! White clouds can make you happy! Until now, it is hard to say what will happen in the world!"
Su Yun looked in the direction of the voice and saw Qu Bo sitting on the Tianmen, his face full of wrinkles and his eyes dim. He had a Qiang drum on his knees and was beating it with his hands.
The heaviness, vastness and grandeur of the north in his voice suddenly became extremely strong!
"There is not a single hero in the world! There is not a single hero in the world! Boom boom!"
Su Yun's blood boiled due to the last two drum beats. His blood and energy exploded almost uncontrollably, and he let out a melodious dragon roar. The surging blood and energy surged out of his body like a tide, transforming into a blood-colored dragon, circling around Su Yun's body for two weeks.
The dragon head protruded forward from behind his right shoulder, with its beard fluttering.
"Gee—"
The dragon roared, resisting the oppressive sound of the drums.
"Little brat, you've grown up!"
Qu Bo on Tianmen laughed loudly, stood up and carried the Qiang drum on his back.
His body suddenly became extremely majestic, like a multi-armed ghost, the spirit of a strong man after his death!
In the mist of Tianmen Town, the ghosts and gods looked at Su Yun's face with a look of relief.
"After we die, we have various wishes, and our last wishes are not fulfilled, so we have entrusted them to Tianshi. But we all have the same wish, which is for you to grow up safely."
Qu Bo's body seemed like a god of war, growing taller and taller, tall and illusory, hazy, giving people the feeling that it might dissipate and disappear at any time.
The houses in Tianmen Town were also stretched very long, like a dream bubble.
"This wish was given to us by Elder Cen. Elder Cen is gone now, and now that you have grown up, it is time for you to leave too."
The ghosts and gods in the mist said one after another: "If you leave, we will have one less burden weighing on us and one less wish weighing on our hearts. Little brat, go away!"
call-
The north wind was howling, and Tianmen Town became grand and illusory. Su Yun raised his hand, as if he wanted to grab them, grab Tianmen Town, and grab the memories of his childhood.
However, Tianmen Town disappeared.
In their place were patches of desolate graves, with withered grass on top, mud splashed on the tombstones, and dilapidated rubble all around, indicating that this was once a very prosperous and bustling town.
There is no one to offer sacrifices here, and no one to take care of the tombs. Among the tombs, there is only a thatched hut, which is the room where Su Yun lives.
"Uncle Qu, Aunt Luo... where have you been? You are still around, right..."
Su Yun walked with heavy steps among the tombs in Tianmen Town.
The tomb of General Li of Yuanshuo, whose taboo name was Xiaoyi.
He stood in front of a tombstone, and the words on the tombstone made him fall into memories. The name Li Xiaoyi was unfamiliar to him, but he knew that this was Muzi, the handsome young man that Sister Fang'er had a crush on.
The tomb of Taoist Xu of Yuanshuo Tiandao Temple.
He didn't know Taoist Xu either, he only knew drunkard Xu.
The tomb of Yuan Shuo, the master of Leiyin Pavilion.
He didn't know the Master of Leiyin Pavilion, but he knew Monk Lai who often appeared out of nowhere in the town to beg for alms.
The tomb of Zhang Huozhu in Yuanshuo is called Fentao.
Is Zhang Fentao Baozi Zhang
The tomb of Zhu Sicheng in Yueshui, Yuanshuo.
The pronunciation of Yue is the same as Le, so is Yue Sicheng Grandma Le or Grandpa Le
…
Unconsciously, he walked to the first row of tombs at the Tianmen Town ruins. On the tombstone was engraved the words "Tomb of Yuan Shuo Qu Taichang Huijin". Is this Qu Jin Qu Taichang the same as Qu Bo
In the snow, Su Yun kowtowed to Qu Bo's tombstone, and then came to Aunt Luo's grave and kowtowed again.
This winter, he bid farewell to the townspeople of Tianmen Town one by one, thanking them for their care and support over the past six or seven years.
He returned to his thatched cottage and packed up some things, mainly some new clothes, the five-zhu coins he had accumulated over the past few days, and a few volumes of ancient sage secrets that Mr. Yehu had given him.
He packed up and walked out of this hometown that existed in his imagination. He had been blind for six years, and had been fantasizing for six years. Tianmen Town also existed in his imagination for six years.
The spotted fox and the three little foxes sat outside the group of graves, waiting for him quietly, as if they had known that this day would come.
Su Yun looked back and saw that Tianmen was still standing there, dilapidated and no one had repaired it.
That gate was the one that Qu Bo had not repaired in the past six years.
Su Yun retracted his gaze, took down four small bundles and threw them over: "Second Brother Hua, these are your clothes and shoes. I don't know if they will fit. Put them on, and let's go to Tianshiyuan Post Station and prepare to enter the city."
The fox demons took the bundle, turned around and dived into the snow one by one. Four bulges appeared under the snow, and a rustling sound was heard.
After a while, a short, chubby little kid came out from the snow pile with a smile on his face. He was wearing a dog-ear hat on his head, a red velvet jacket on his body, dark red corduroy trousers on his lower body, and tiger-head shoes on his feet.
He jumped out of the snow, but because he was too short, he fell back into the snow, leaving only his dog-ear hat exposed.
Su Yun reached out and took him out, looking him up and down several times, and asked in confusion: "Xiao Fan? Still not happy?"
"I'm your second brother!"
The little kid said angrily, and then took off his hat: "Look, look! My hair is colorful!"
Su Yun said timidly, apologetically: "Second brother, you haven't reached my waist yet, I thought it was uneven..."
"I developed late and have a firm body, what do you have to do with me?" the little brat with spotted hair said angrily.
Su Yun touched his head, and the fox bared its teeth in a threatening manner, revealing two pairs of small fangs.
Su Yun pushed him into the snow, and only the hat of the flower fox was left exposed.
Li Xiaofan and Hu Buping also came out, and they were shorter than Huahu.
The two little fox demons seemed to grow symmetrically, and they wore exactly the same clothes: a floral plaid jacket with some cheap fur sewn inside for warmth. They wore a pair of slightly long floral cotton trousers on their legs, and the same dog-ear hats as the floral foxes on their heads.
The two little fox demons, one on the left and one on the right, stared at Su Yun with suspicion.
Su Yun remained calm and was stared at for a long while before he said, "Your clothes were all bought together. They look a bit alike, but they are sturdy and cheap. They do look good on you two brothers..."
The flower fox poked its head out of the snow, baring its fangs: "Is my clothes also bought from the same stall?"
"Well, the stall owner said that if you buy more, you can get a discount."
Su Yun said angrily: "Second brother, you should know that I am blind and cannot see beauty or ugliness..."
Something was rumbling in the snow, and a little girl wearing a white suede hat with rabbit ears came out. The two rabbit ears on the hat could move and twitched from time to time.
Li Xiaofan and Hu Buping were so jealous that their eyes turned red. They stared at the moving pair of rabbit ears, and then looked at Su Yun in unison.
"Girls must dress cutely."
Su Yun said calmly, "This is what the stall owner told me."
Below the rabbit ears are two dark blue braids, combed from the back of the head to the chest.
Qingqiu Yue walked out of the snow with great effort. She was wearing a pure white cloak-like robe with a red belt tied around her waist. The robe was furry and very warm, and it dragged all the way to her ankles.
She was wearing a pair of green fox shoes with green wooden soles, leather lining, and a fox head pattern embroidered on the uppers.
Huahu pulled himself out of the snow, stared at the tiger-head shoes on his feet, then looked at Qingqiuyue's green fox shoes, his eyes also turned red: "Little sister, your shoes..."
“It’s so comfortable!”
Qingqiu Yue was very happy, shaking her two braids. The snow-white clothes set off the braids and made them very conspicuous: "It looks good! And you see, the ears in the hat are hollow, I can hide my ears in the rabbit ears. When I move my ears, the rabbit ears move too..."
Huahu turned around with red eyes and stared at Su Yun.
"It was picked by the stall owner in Huangji Town."
Su Yun hesitated and said, "What I'm wearing doesn't look good either, and we don't have much money... Okay, okay, we should get going!"
Four cute little demon children followed him as they walked along the snowy road, one foot high and one foot low. Suddenly one of them disappeared. Whenever this happened, Su Yun would stop, reach out his hand, and pick up the little demon child who had fallen into the snow pit.
"Second brother, don't run around." Su Yun warned.
Huahu felt very aggrieved: "I didn't..."
Zhaizhu: Before publishing the book, when I gave the manuscript to the editor-in-chief for review, he said this chapter was good. Asxs. has already found a Qinqiang artist to perform the music, and will soon match the song with the drum music. You can look forward to it.
