The crescent moon is like a hook, and a few old crows picked up all the cold branches and refused to lie on, and they were wailing in the night.

In mass graves, a pair of thin figures moved between the simple graves made of loess. A ragged boy was carrying a girl of about his age. The girl lying on his back had yellow face. Under the hunger and cold, only his eyes were still a little spiritual. The boy carrying the girl looked worried and tried his best not to touch the wound of the girl's thigh bitten by a wild dog. He and she were begging dozens of miles away. He begged along the road during the day, and at night he relied on finding the offerings for the grave to fill his stomach. There is this custom in the land in Shu. On the day of the burial, he put some steamed buns and pastries on the grave. One said that it was to let the soul eat on the road to Huangquan, and the other said that it was to buy nearby wandering ghosts and not to make things difficult for the souls of the burial beings.

"The rise and the suffering of the people have become earth. When the death and the suffering of the people have become earth." Because she was in a deserted tomb, the girl could only use her voice to enhance her courage. Although her face was pale, her voice was extremely light and agile. This was something she occasionally heard from the mouths of a scholar. When the spirit moved, she would sing it in a unique soft tone. At a young age, she was trapped in a troubled world and did not understand the great principles of being a peaceful dog rather than a troubled world. She just mixed the hearsay "Nostalgia of Mount Li" and Zhang Yanghao's "Shanpo Sheep" and sang it from her tender mouth. If she could listen to it in the ears of those who are interested, it would definitely feel a different feeling of bitterness.

The boy who had been walking with the girl for a long time was already covered with sweat and his eyes were vaguely visible. The strict ghost energy spreading among the wild graves made him creepy, but he didn't even dare to breathe, covering up his fear and fatigue to the greatest extent. However, this girl was with him day and night, and with his intelligence and beauty, how could he not know what he was thinking? After gently wiping his sweat, looking at the mass grave in front of him, the girl couldn't help but ask again: "Will we die?"

"No." The boy squeezed out a smile and comforted the girl.

"In the play, everyone says that one cannot escape death, and Grandpa Wu is also dead." The girl said sadly. She is a very smart child. Although she cannot come into contact with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting like a rich child, even if she has heard the poem once, she can catch up. Grandpa Wu is a fortune teller. She has been with them for a while. Whenever she has time, the old man will talk about gods and monsters, or teach the girl some lyrics and music that are wrong, and finally freeze to death on a heavy snowy night. This makes the girl have a deep taboo for death.

"The gods will not die." The boy opened his mouth, his lips were chapped, and blood was blooming, and he quietly licked the blood. He had a mouthful of snow-white teeth, which was in sharp contrast to the dark face. He hugged the girl tightly and looked at the mountain with a black beard in the distance. "Grandpa Wu said there will be gods in that mountain. When you get sick, I will take you to the mountain over there. Maybe we will not die when we meet the gods."

If you meet an immortal and want to die, these few words are simple, but they are more than a thousand times more difficult than Shu Road. Perhaps the old man just said casually to satisfy the curiosity of his two children. For poor families, those who seek immortals and practice Taoism are unattainable, let alone the illusory immortal gods.

"Finished!" Suddenly, the boy's eyes lit up. The boy who had been searching for the offering for most of the night finally saw a bowl of pastries placed on a new grave. The bowl was a broken bowl, and the pastries were destined to be cold and stiff, but in his eyes it was more precious than anything else, because he was not sure whether she could continue to hold on if she was hungry anymore.

He carefully put her down far away from the new grave, found a stone to lay a handful of hay, let her sit on it, and staggered, because the old saying goes, robbing food of the soul is a big bad thing, and it will shorten your life. Although the boy was lonely since childhood and had been tempered by the hardships, he would definitely be afraid of ghosts and gods. So he kowtowed nine times firmly on the grave, as if he felt it was not enough, so he kowtowed nine more times, then he took out the steamed buns from the bowl, turned his head to look at the girl, secretly chewing a small invisible mouth on four or five steamed buns, murmured to himself: "I took this steamed bun. If the monsters and monsters want to find it, I will find me alone. I have bitten it, it is mine, and it will also shorten my life."

Run back to the girl and squatted down, he handed all the steamed buns into her hands.

"There are four." The girl said excitedly.

She handed back the three to the boy, leaving one herself with a bright smile as bright as a summer flower, and said, "I have a small appetite, I will be full if I eat one. You eat two, and we will keep the remaining one for the rest on the way."

Seeing the girl stuffing the cold and hard steamed buns into her hands, the boy felt as if he was holding the rarest delicacy in the world.

"Eat quickly." The girl bit the steamed bun in small mouthfuls, looked at the silly boy, and laughed.

The boy was extremely hungry. Looking at the girl's smiling face, he deliberately bit a big bite on the steamed bun. He slowly bit his head in his mouth. Although he hadn't swallowed it yet, his hungry stomach seemed to feel much more comfortable. When he raised his head and was about to smile at the girl, the boy's eyes suddenly widened.

He suddenly saw a colorful light flying from the sky in the distance, looking like a meteor from a distance, but in a moment, it became much closer to the location where the boy and the girl were. And the closer it got, the brighter the colorful light became. Even the girl with her back facing the light discovered it. "What is that?" The girl pointed her fingers in shock, and then what made her cover her mouth incredibly was that she and the boy saw that the colorful light was actually a colorful dragon boat flying in the air!

The dragon boat was carved from purple jade, and it emitted a soft purple luster. It was several feet long, and the dragon head at the front of the bow held a red bead the size of a fist in its mouth, and the hull was also inlaid with various gems, and the colorful glow was emitted by these gems.

The extremely gorgeous colorful dragon boat travels through the sky!

The boy and the girl had never seen such a scene. They couldn't help but stagnate when they saw it for a moment.

But what shocked the two people even more was that there was a woman standing on the colorful dragon boat. The left man was wearing a purple palace outfit and a green hairpin on his head. His skin was better than snow. The right man was wearing a goose yellow palace outfit with a little yellow eyebrows. He was full of bright eyes and white teeth, and was gorgeous and indifferent.

The boy and the girl were stunned for a moment when they looked at the dragon boat that appeared in front of them. "It turned out to be two wild children in the mountains." The beauty in the palace at the left seemed to have not seen their existence. She frowned as if no one was around, "Senior sister, after leaving, he shouldn't hide in such a place."

The woman in goose yellow dress on her right nodded, "I also think he won't run to the vicinity of Shushan, so the master insists that we check here."

"Senior sister, do you think that thing is really that important? It has caused us to make a big fight and so many people are sent to find it?" asked the woman in the palace dress in the left head.

"When did you see the master so serious?" said the woman in the palace dress in the right head: "Let's go, so as not to be seen by the Shushan Gate and be entangled."

"Ah" exclaimed, and it turned out that the girl was wondering whether she was dreaming about the Dragon Boat Fairy. She unconsciously wanted to rub her eyes, but accidentally touched the wound on her leg and couldn't help but scream.

"Huh?" The two palace-dressed women on the two colorful dragon boats who were about to leave suddenly exclaimed lightly at the same time. Although the girl had a pale face and thin skin, her bones were extremely exquisite, which looked like the body of the nine-color mysterious woman with extremely high qualifications in the viewing chart. After looking at each other, the colorful dragon boats of the two palace-dressed women suddenly fell, "Little sister, are you willing to go with us?"

"Follow you?" The little girl's natural temperament was a terrifying person. After calling out incredibly surprised, she looked at the two women in the palace dress and asked: "Two sisters, you are so beautiful and your clothes are beautiful. Are you fairies?"

Both women in the palace dress smiled slightly, "We will take you to a good place, and in the future you will become as beautiful as we do, wearing the same beautiful clothes."

"Really?!" The girl almost jumped up, but she suddenly remembered something and clicked the boy beside her, "Will he go with us together?"

"He?" The two women in palace costumes looked at the boy, but both shook their heads at the same time, "He has too poor qualifications and can't take him away."

"Then I won't go." The girl was stunned for a moment and suddenly became anxious. When she turned to look at the boy next to her, tears were already rolling in her eyes. "Idiot, please promise them." When the boy heard two women in palace clothes saying that they could not bring him with her, she only felt a buzz in her mind, but when she heard the girl say she wouldn't go, the boy was even more anxious than her. She scolded the girl for the first time in her life.

The girl wanted to say no more, but the woman in the palace dress on the left was impatient. She rolled her long sleeves, "Let's go!" The girl only felt that she was flying like a cloud and mist. When she realized that she was already on the dragon boat in the sky, the boy below was only the size of an ant, and she couldn't see clearly. "Let me down." The girl was anxious and immediately cried out. The woman in the palace dress on the left was purple-clothed and ignored the girl. The woman in the palace dress was a little unbearable, and comforted her: "Little sister, don't be sad. When you are older, you can pick him up by yourself."

....

In the boy's sight, the ray of light of the colorful dragon boat flew farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.

"He has too bad qualifications, so he can't take him away... He has too bad qualifications, so he can't take him away..." The voice of the woman in the palace dress echoed in the boy's mind over and over again. Although her personality had been tempered to be extremely tough, she was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old mountain child after all. The dragon boat and the woman in the palace dress were more real than the fairy he imagined. He was full of hope, but he was abandoned with disdain, and even did not give him a chance to say a few more words. He thought about his past dependence on the girl for life, and thought that he might never see her again. Seeing the few cold and hard steamed buns in his hand, the boy felt sad and couldn't help crying.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that the so-called famous sect that ruled the right path in the world was also the robbery act." Suddenly, a sinister voice sounded in the boy's ears. "But don't worry, the little girl is attracted by them. This kind of blessing can't be obtained by others."

This sound actually came from a deserted tomb next to it. The crying boy suddenly shivered with a chill.

The tomb had collapsed and half of the coffin was exposed. With a "click", a grayish-white hand suddenly stretched out from the shabby coffin.

With a bang, the coffin lid was lifted up, and a man sat up, with a hawk nose and thin eyes, his face pale and blood-colored without a trace of blood. Even his pupils seemed to have no dark eyes, all of them were gray and white. A big red robe like blood was covered with a scarlet red robe.

"Huh?" Although the boy who stopped crying still had tears on his face, he did not run away as he imagined. The man in the coffin wearing a scarlet red robe turned his gray eyes and looked at the boy and said, "Why, aren't you afraid of me?"

"Not afraid." The boy shook his head.

"Why aren't you afraid of ghosts? Are you afraid of ghosts?" The man in the coffin looked at the ragged boy strangely.

"You have shadows, but ghosts have no shadows."

"Huh?" He looked down at his faint shadow in the night, then looked at the ragged little beggar, and the man in the coffin snorted, "I didn't expect that you have such poor innate qualifications, but you are quite brave."

When the boy heard the man in the coffin say that he had poor qualifications, the young man was shocked again and couldn't help but look in the direction where the colorful dragon boat disappeared.

"Little kid." Looking at the boy's painful and sad look, the man in the coffin suddenly smiled, "Look at your appearance, you probably haven't eaten for many days, right?"

The boy nodded. If he hadn't been hungry for many days and had no strength to run, and the girl disappeared by her side, sadness arose. Even if he found that the person sitting up in the coffin was a human or a ghost, the person in the coffin was covered with red clothes and a pale face, he might have turned around and ran away and would not have stayed here.

"Do you want to not suffer from hunger in the future? Don't you have to go to this wilderness to eat this kind of thing again, or can you come and go as freely as they do? See that little girl again?" The man in the coffin turned his gray pupils, and when he spoke, a spider-like red light suddenly shot the dry cold and hard steamed bun in the boy's hand. The boy only felt that his palms were burned, and in a daze, the steamed buns had turned into charred fine powder and fell from his hands.

For a little beggar who may not be able to eat enough for a few days, there is nothing more tempting than eating every meal. What's more, there is another shocking thing in this world called strength. The woman in the palace dress who can carry a colorful dragon boat to control the wind just showed the power of the immortal in his mind. The abandoned boy saw the man in the coffin show such power. Now the man in the coffin said that he could help him come and go as freely as them and see the girl again. The boy was scared and surprised. For a moment, he looked at the strange man in red robe, his thin body trembled slightly, but he couldn't speak.

The man in the coffin, who easily created the effect of darkness and brightness of the willows and flowers, was not surprised to see the boy's reaction at all, and a slight arc was pulled up at the corner of his mouth, "The Buddha said that he had not cultivated good deeds in his previous life, and he was only suffering from hunger and cold karma in this life. But do you believe it or not, I can help you escape from this sea of ​​suffering in the world?"

The boy looked at the man in the coffin. From the appearance of the colorful dragon boat to the present, it was indescribable to him. He was not particularly smart at first, and he couldn't help but ask, "You... who are you? How could you be in the coffin?"

"Most people in the world are blinded by false things. Who am I? Why is it in the coffin?" The man in the coffin glanced at the boy, still sitting upright in the dilapidated coffin, but stretched out his right hand and spread it wide. The boy unconsciously looked along his hand, and the distance in front of him had suddenly lit up. A bead as big as a thumbnail surging, and bursts of blue light were emitted from the hands of the man in the coffin. After closer inspection, there seemed to be a circle of ripples in the round beads that kept moving, while the surface as smooth as jade was sometimes lit up.

Looking at the young man whose bleak figure was stretched out by the glow of the beads in his hand, the man in the coffin said calmly: "As long as you eat this bead, you will never suffer from hunger and coldness. All things in the world will not escape the word cause and condition. I am here, you are here, this is fate. As long as you promise me something, I will give you this bead."
