On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, according to the marriage contract between the Qilin and Hunyuan tribes, Zhusha and I will have another wedding in Kunlun Mountain. The wedding in Kunlun Mountain is the most satisfying and comfortable for me. It is really
Honesty, people really trust each other, and they are equal without distinguishing between each other. Even people like Shangguan Yunseng, the most they show here is the word kindness.
The most disturbing thing is Zhusha's body. Although it is not as serious as when she first went to Kunlun Mountain, her body and bones are obviously very weak. She often sweats from exhaustion even after walking for a few steps. It seems that the so-called inheritance is imminent for her.
.
Occasionally, I would carry cinnabar on my back, follow Shangguan Jielong and my third aunt Guo Jiayan, wrap myself in a thick cotton-padded jacket and climb the snowy peak to watch the sunrise.
Kunlun Mountain is really cold and quiet. We looked at the top of the sky in the distance and the white fish belly in the east. We stood there quietly. For a long time, the golden light of the rising sun shone on our faces. Cinnabar cried,
This time I didn't coax her, but let her vent it out. Specifically, the reasons why she cried were many and complicated, but I really didn't want to go into details because I wouldn't let her down.
Sangu patted Zhusha on the back and held Shangguan Jielong's hand. Shangguan Jielong was a lump in the tree. He didn't react at all, but he didn't make any resistance either. He just held Sangu's hand gently.
This may be the destined life of the children of our two tribes, just like Sangu and Shangguan Jielong. It can be seen that Sangu likes Shangguan Jielong very much, but Shangguan Jielong is like a quiet pool of water. He does not seem to care about the relationship between men and women.
Without too many requests, it is difficult for me to know what he is interested in.
Compared to him, he doesn't need to be the Qilin King, because he is the second child, and it's not ancient times now. He can go to the mountains and wander around, like Xuanyuan, playing like the Yellow Emperor. He seems to have something unspeakable, and he is like
It felt like something was stuck in his throat. In short, he was very calm, so calm that he sat and lay down here and there, like a vegetable.
I often wonder if this is because I was beaten stupid by Shangguan Yun Seng when I was a child. He is still willing to say a few words to me occasionally. He is not like Shangguan Yun Seng, who is a doting sister, but like a brother.
Like any other friend, he would often have a toast with me and invite me to watch the sunrise.
Maybe many people don't understand him and think he is aloof, but I can always see a bit of cinnabar in her quietness or introversion. Sometimes I even feel strange.
I think I like this man.
But it is not the kind of love between lovers, nor the kind of love between brothers or friends, but an indescribable love. In other words, my love for him does not need words to express it at all.

The last day of 1946 was also the 30th of the twelfth lunar month. This year’s New Year’s taste is different from the past. This is all related to the grandfathers. The grandfathers and the third aunt said that they should make dumplings during the New Year, otherwise the Qilin people will have a bad year.
It's boring.
So this year it was hosted by the grandpas and the third aunt. The entire Qilin clan was very happy. We all ate dumplings and played with red envelopes, which made Shangguan Jielong look a little happy.
Some people say that water cannot be caught, but time is even more so. In the blink of an eye, it was March of the following year, 1947, and Cinnabar was about to pass on. Fortunately, her parents were with her, so she would not be too nervous.
Lonely.
The night before, Zhu Sha hugged me and cried for half the night, reluctant to leave me. Xuan Xuan Book Bar
I touched her hair and smelled the fragrance of her hair, "Okay, it's only been ten years. I will not be late every year in the twelfth lunar month and come back to spend time with you. Our life span is so long, and there will be a lot of good times in the future."
Zhu Sha nestled in my arms and raised her eyes to look at me, "I'm afraid you are in danger. You said you have no skills and still have to do so many things. You have a second brother following you, but the second brother is also a human being. He It's not like you have three heads and six arms. What will I do if something happens to you?"
I thought so, but isn't life like this? There are so many fixed endings in life. They are all composed of countless unknown numbers. Whether it is life or death, in addition to luck, you still have to rely more on your own coping ability. and wisdom.
He patted Cinnabar and said comfortingly: "Don't worry."
Carrying cinnabar to the outside of Xiujia Ancient Tomb, I found that Xiujia Ancient Tomb was also built in a cave. The huge bronze door can be more than thirty meters high and ten meters wide. It is difficult for me to understand why there is such a huge door in the world. Bronze door, there are not too many bells and whistles on the bronze door, not even any carvings or patterns, it seems to be a door made of two huge bronze plates!
And this kind of bronze should be an extremely old old-fashioned bronze. In addition to being thick, it feels like stone.
There is an eye on each of the two doors, and a huge bronze bell hangs from one bronze door, like a water tank!
The other door is a bronze chain that leads from the outside to the inside. It is estimated that this door leads to the main coffin of the main chamber of the Xiujia Ancient Tomb. However, whether the Xiujia Ancient Tomb is an ancient tomb or not, only the Qilin people themselves can tell. Know.
Shangguan Yun monk said that Cinnabar did not go to Xiujia Ancient Tomb. This bronze door was the main door. There were three bronze doors inside, one leading to the inheritance site, one leading to Xiujia Ancient Tomb, and the third one. It leads to the secret place of snake breeding, but the bronze door of the secret place of snake breeding is sealed. There are many monsters there, which is a very dangerous place. They are monsters grown from ancient snakes. To put it bluntly, they are unicorns. The ancestors of the clan, but after so many years, whether those monsters are dead or alive today is just a question of Schrödinger's cat, and all we can do is not to open the ancient bronze door and not to wonder about Pandora's box.
When the bronze door opened, it was completely dark inside. The light from the outside could not shine in at all, as if it was being sucked in. It was like a black hole. However, the Qilin tribe seemed to be able to enter and exit at will without the need for light. I put my hand on my back The cinnabar was given to the Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West pinched the cinnabar's neck gently and she fell asleep.
Maybe the Queen Mother of the West did this to prevent Zhu Sha from being even more sad. The Queen Mother of the West and the King of Qilin looked at me meaningfully, and the King of Qilin said to me: "Don't be late."
Queen Mother Xi glanced at Shangguan Jielong and then at me, "Be careful."
Shangguan Jielong and I both nodded. When the huge bronze door closed, I seemed a little unable to accept it. I didn't feel the separation when Zhusha was there, but when we were really separated, the huge bronze door The door seemed to have cut off our world, and my heart couldn't help but hurt.
