Desolate Moon Continent, its origin is because the moon here is completely different from the moon on other continents. The moon in the sky here is huge and desolate. Its area is five to six times that of the moon on other continents, and it appears clearer and brighter...
Every clear night, the mountain peaks shown in the moon are so clear and desolate. The rolling mountains above, the ravines of different depths, and the crisscross paths are deeply engraved in the hearts of every mortal on this continent, just like the stamp of time stamped on the creek in my hometown by Bluestone Slab.
The end of the year is a festival that grows in the hearts of every mortal Desolate Moon Continent. It is a reunion, warm and grand festival.
It is held in the middle of the twelfth month of each year, on the fullest day of the moon. People sing and dance under the full moon, take out the best Demon Beast they hunt in the year, and raise the best wine collected at home, or the whole city celebrates together, or the whole family rejoices.
They stayed drunk under the bright moonlight and talked about their lofty sentiments and ambitions.
Talented men drank wine, composed poems and scolded Fang Qiu, while beautiful women played drums and expressed their love for each other under the moonlight.
At this time, the sky was already slightly dark, and a huge full moon appeared in the sky. Li Yan sat on the platform, looking at the hazy blue mountains in the distance, looking into the distance with confused eyes, as if he wanted to travel thousands of miles back to the foot of the familiar green mountains.
Li Yan came out today not just to practice magic. When he saw the giant moon in the courtyard at night a few days ago, it already evoked nostalgia in his heart. It was already the end of the year and the new year was about to arrive.
It has been more than a year since he came out of the mountain village, and he spent last year's New Year in exile. Although he was homesick at that time, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Today, looking at the full moon as usual, all kinds of thoughts come to my mind.
Early this morning, he had no intention of meditating, so he came to the platform early to practice his magic while waiting for the bright moon to rise.
Li Yan stared blankly into the distance. Firecrackers should be going off in the village now. The golden and fragrant Demon Beast tributes should also be placed under the old locust tree at the head of the village. The children in the village should be drooling around these tributes. They chased and played around for a few times, then ran towards the end of the village amidst the shouts of adults. After a while, they ran back to the end of the village amidst the frolic and frolicking. From time to time they glanced at the full moon in the sky, hoping that it would rise to the top of the old willow tree soon, so that they could start worshiping their ancestors and then have a big meal.
The village chief would hold a bowl of wine and have sex with every man in the village. He would also slap each child hard on the head to make them grow up quickly. In the middle of the night, he would fall asleep hugging the old willow tree and sleep until dawn under the huge moon.
The father rarely smiled, took a few puffs of cigarettes, drank a few sips of spirits with a group of old friends, and pointed at his children with his pipe from time to time.
The third brother would limp to sit next to his father, look at him with a smile, and occasionally whisper a few words to ask him to drink less.
Mother and four
</di>
My sister, like other women in the village, kept serving delicious meat and steamed buns, and occasionally met young people in the village. My mother and the aunts laughed loudly, pointed, looked at their girls, and said a few words in their ears from time to time.
The fourth sister, like the other young girls in the village, always blushed after hearing those words, and then continued to bring the food away after being embarrassed.
The young people in the village blushed and looked at the fourth sister and the others amidst the cheers.
Li Yan just stared into the distance, unknowingly bursting into tears.
After a long time, Li Yan withdrew his gaze and looked up at the huge bright moon above his head. Familiar faces seemed to appear in the full moon.
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears, stood up facing the moon, straightened his clothes, knelt down, and murmured "Mom, Dad, Happy New Year... Happy New Year... Happy New Year", and then kowtowed several times respectfully.
Just when he was about to stand up, a cold but hesitant voice came from behind him, "You... among you mortals, is there really such a thing as old age?"
Li Yan Hearing this, he stood up and turned around immediately, "Who?"
He looked back and saw a slender, graceful woman in white standing on the edge of the platform behind him, looking at him with a hesitant expression.
"Is it you?" Li Yan was disturbed by someone, and his heart suddenly became angry, and his words were somewhat accusatory.
At this time, the moonlight filled the platform like silver, and the light was extremely good. Li Yan could see clearly the person coming at a glance. It was none other than the senior sister Buli Peak whom he had met a few months ago, Zhao Min!
At this time, Zhao Min was standing on the edge of the bamboo forest from where he came from the platform. He was dressed in white clothes and fluttering in the wind. Under the moonlight, his handsome face, which looked like a white jade carving, added a bit of holy white light. A pair of black and white eyes under thick eyebrows still looked at Li Yan with a certain coldness.
"What? Can't I come here?" Seeing Li Yan's stern tone, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Li Yan also frowned after hearing this, and thought to himself, "Yes, this is not my little bamboo courtyard, why can't the other party come?", but he still asked the next moment, but his tone had softened.
"This is Small Bamboo Peak. It seems that the other four peak disciples only come to the middle of the mountain for business. The other peak disciples don't 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 never stayed in Small Bamboo Peak, as if there were restrictions. Therefore, when he received the spirit stone, he asked the second senior brother in the main hall and found out the paths, just as he guessed.
They are the same places where Small Bamboo Peak went on missions. Those disciples were obviously here to do missions.
"You know a little bit, but can't I come to the back mountain?" Apparently the girl in white was a little dissatisfied with Li Yan's previous attitude.
"This? Not really... it's just that there are very few disciples from other peaks coming here from the back mountain." Li Yan didn't really ask his senior brother whether disciples from other peaks are not allowed here. It's just that he has never seen disciples from other peaks. In addition, his worries were revealed just now, so he blurted out out of desperation. Now he felt that he was a little unreasonable, and couldn't help but scratch the back of his head with his hand.
When Zhao Min saw him like this, she couldn't be angry anymore. Moreover, she followed her heart today and came here involuntarily. She was a little curious after hearing what Li Yan said. She had heard the saying "New Year's Eve" among mortals since she was a child. It seemed to be very grand, lively, and valued, but she had never seen it before.
"Oh, this is a place I used to come often, but it's no longer Small Bamboo Peak. It's less frequent. You're right. Disciples from Houshan Mountain are not allowed to come here." Although Zhao Min's tone was gentle, it was still cold. 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 for a moment and thought to himself, "Listening to her words, it seems that she was also a disciple of Small Bamboo Peak before. Could it be that she is one of those disciples who left Small Bamboo Peak? In this way, it is not unusual for her to come here, and she seems to come here very often."
Li Yan The beautiful woman in front of her stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the giant moon with somewhat blurred eyes. After a while, she looked at the rolling mountains in the distance under the night. The silver moon shone on her body, and her face carved like white jade was glowing with delicate white light., standing in the wind, the clothes blown by the mountain wind fluttered backwards, causing the clothes to tightly wrap around the body, wrapping the two peaks on the chest more and more upright, and the slender and straight legs became even more sudden, as if the fairy from the Moon Palace came down to earth, Li Yan couldn't help but be stunned.
After Zhao Min asked, she immediately fell into her own thoughts. After a while, when she withdrew her blurred gaze, she didn't hear any movement behind her. She couldn't help but frown, and looked sideways to the back. What she saw was Li Yan looking like a pig brother, staring blankly at herself. She couldn't help but blush, and spat softly.
Li Yan woke up as if from a dream when he heard this spitting sound, his face turned red involuntarily, he coughed twice, and answered quickly to divert his attention.
"Zhao... Senior Sister Zhao, we do have this 'New Year's Eve' in our place. I have never been to other places that are too far away, but I heard from people in the village who have traveled far away that there are some, but? But it seems that there is no New Year's Eve in this sect. I didn't see any New Year's Eve decorations or atmosphere when I came out today."??
"Zong? Nian Guan? Huh, in addition to cultivation, there is also cultivation in the sect. What kind of warmth and kindness can there be... Can you tell me about Nian Guan in the mortal world?" Zhao
</di>
After Min heard this, a trace of disdain appeared on his jade-like face, and he snorted softly in his pretty nose. After a pause, he asked again.
Li Yan felt a little confused after hearing this, "Senior Sister Zhao is so brave to say such disrespectful words to the sect, and she is not afraid of being heard by others in the sect. It would be bad if the elders and the Law Enforcement Hall find out."
"Hasn't Senior Sister Zhao ever been to a mortal town? She grew up in an immortal sect since she was a child?" Li Yan had many questions, but she just thought about it. He thought to himself, "It seems that this senior sister entered the immortal sect earlier than the seventh senior brother. The seventh senior brother was only discovered by the immortal sect when he was twelve years old. This senior sister may have entered the immortal sect since she was young or ignorant."
After Zhao Min listened to Li Yan's words, she was silent for a while, and then sat down on the edge of the platform. She hung her long legs in the air outside the platform, swaying gently, raised her face and looked at the night with the silver light in the distance, and murmured, "I have never been in a mortal town, but I heard some Senior brothers and sisters said that it is very peaceful and lively there, with peaceful sunrise and sunset, day after day, year after year; relatives and friends often gather together, children have fun around their parents' knees, hold up lanterns and chase and play with their peers, and families can often gather around the table happily and talk... But I have only heard of it, but I have never experienced it."
Li Yan stood behind Zhao Min, looking at her pretty back and listening to her whispers. He couldn't help but think of his hometown, his sister and his playmates in the village.
Unknowingly, he took a few steps forward and came to the edge of the platform. He also sat down on the other edge of the platform some distance away from the girl in white. He sighed. Seeing the girl's back, he felt that she was a little lonely. He suddenly calmed down in his heart. After thinking about it, she was just asking about folk customs that almost everyone knew. Besides, he didn't want to go back early today, so he spoke softly.
"The mortal world has the fun of the mortal world, but it also has the joys and sorrows of life. My hometown is at the foot of Great Green Mountain, a million miles away from here. The village is not big, with dozens of families. The village is surrounded by terraced fields, and there are a few old locust trees at the head of the village. When the New Year comes, it is already spring, and the rapeseed fields outside the village are in full bloom, and wild flowers of various colors are scattered among them. At the end of the year, On that day, every family started preparing the richest food of the year early in the morning. The children were playing in the village. My mother, my sister and the aunts in the same village took out Demon Beast meat and flour from their homes and started cooking or frying various delicacies. The smoke curled up and the aroma filled the village; while my father and third brother worked with other villagers to tidy up the ancestral temple, place tributes, and clean the house..."
Under a bright full moon, the surroundings were quiet except for the gentle breeze blowing quietly. A pair of boys and girls were sitting on the edge of the platform, looking up at the bright moon and talking.
The huge moon seemed to include the two figures in the white halo circle. Occasionally, the girl asked softly, while Li Yan slowly told about the ordinary life of the mortal world...
