Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 133, Moon Dance Solo

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are not so many doorways. The adults are reunited at home, while the children hold lanterns and 'explore' everywhere with their friends.

In fact, it is an adventure, and the most active area is in the village, or in a corner not far away. This kind of place is very safe and can give children a feeling of "exploring".

Individual children are afraid of the dark, but groups of children can easily explore the darkness, holding lanterns, looking for the happiness that belongs to children.

"Lantern!" Hanxiang rested her chin in her hands, stood on the top of the tree, looked at the children down the mountain, her face full of envy.

At the same time, Li Yun also used Xiaoyaoyou to stand on the top of the tree, but not for anything else, just to lift Ah Er from the tree.
Who the hell knows how this husky got on the tree.

"Hanxiang, do you want to play lanterns with the children? You can go down the mountain and play together." Li Yun said to Hanxiang.

Han Xiang was a little cautious, but soon shook her head like a rattle, and said: "No, no, today is the day to sacrifice to the moon. I am also a female crown anyway, so I can't be playful."

Li Yun smiled and didn't say anything more. After giving Ah Er a little lesson, he returned to the Taoist temple. Han Xiang also followed him back, and took out the mooncakes and tea that had been prepared in the back kitchen .

"People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes. Today, the moon is full, and people unite, and we will worship the luck of the heavens, so we can worship the queen of Taiyin."

Li Yun took out the incense and fire dragon pattern table, lit incense candles and burned incense, and placed the offerings in it. A plate of hot mooncakes had just come out of the pan, filled with lotus seed paste, exuding a fragrance.

The ones stuffed with sesame seeds and the ones stuffed with spiritual grass and peanuts have to be eaten by yourself.
"Tell me, will Fairy Chang'e be lonely on the moon?" Han Xiang said while arranging the offering utensils, "There is only one rabbit and one tree feller. It doesn't look like ordinary loneliness."

"By the way, brother, what is the legend of Chang'e? I seem to have heard many versions before, and I don't know which one is true." Hanxiang muttered.

"There are many legends about Chang'e, including love, betrayal, and kindness, but no matter what kind of legend, they all represent a theme, that is [reunion]. On this day, Chang'e's family will be here. A banquet was held under the moon to show the reunion with Chang'e." After Li Yun finished arranging the worship items on the table, he said with a smile: "As for whether Chang'e will be lonely, I don't know, Brother Shi. Not Chang'e."

Hanxiang doesn't know, she doesn't know what to say when she looks at the bright moon in the sky, she can't feel the feeling of being alone, at least she is bound on this elephant head mountain, where there are small animals, flowers and plants, which used to be There are mountain gods on other hills.

feeling lonely
"So can our offerings make Chang'e less lonely?" Han Xiang raised her chin and looked up at the sky.

"Maybe, or maybe she doesn't like mooncakes at all?" Li Yun smiled slightly.

"Puchi, girls like to eat sweet things, she must also like to eat mooncakes." Hanxiang paused, and then added: "But Chang'e definitely doesn't like to eat mooncakes with five kernels!"

Hanxiang pouted. When she was a mountain god, she also received offerings of mooncakes, such as five-nut mooncakes, banana mooncakes, durian mooncakes, and mooncakes with unknown names.

But what she hates the most is the five-nut moon cake!

"Uh, actually, I think the five-nut mooncake is quite delicious, especially when paired with salted tofu flower."

"Senior Brother Yun, you can only eat sweet tofu flowers!"

Li Yun is not convinced.

Can't bear it!How to eat sweet tofu flower?
Just when Li Yun was about to argue with reason, the hour had come, and now was the time to worship Taiyin Xingjun.

When the full moon hangs high, the galaxy shines high and worships Chang'e.

Li Yun also stopped playing around and started preparing for the sacrifice.

"The time has come."

Incense, start!

As Li Yun recited, the green smoke from the incense rose slowly and floated in the sky, as if it was about to float to the moon at any moment.

Just as the incense was blowing up, the blue smoke condensed into a woman, an illusory and beautiful woman, wearing a white dress, with a melancholy and beautiful face.

From Li Yun's point of view, the beauty of this woman can no longer be described in words, it is a pure concept, and the concept of "beauty" is directly presented in the mind.

Very magical feeling.

The beauty under the moon dances alone, and Chang'e, formed by the condensed fireworks, dances lightly under the bright moon, as if she is telling her sorrow, her loneliness, and her love.

Only when the moon is full, can we get together with the one we love, but getting together is also a solo dance.

However, after a long time, Chang'e suddenly stopped dancing.

Another ray of incense and fireworks turned into a strong hunter in short-sleeved animal skin with a wooden longbow on his back. He couldn't see his face or figure clearly.

Two wisps of green smoke embrace each other and pass away——

The moon sacrifice is over.

A plate of cheap moon cakes was exchanged for Chang'e's solo dance.

"It's so beautiful, is this Chang'e?" Hanxiang finally woke up from the shock at this time, but she still had an expression of disbelief on her face.

It's so beautiful, it's breathtaking.

"There are many versions of the legend of Chang'e, many of which say that Chang'e was actually greedy for life and afraid of death, and betrayed Houyi, but now it seems that this is not the case." Li Yun was also very shocked. He had never thought of this before. A worship will make Chang'e appear.

"It is said that there are gods up three feet above the head, legends and legends, what are legends, you can't believe it all, and you can't believe it. Everything has a cause and effect. The Taiyin Star King is Chang'e, the lonely beauty in the moon palace, the one who looks at the moon and misses his lover. Chang'e." The system suddenly spoke at this moment.

Li Yun is not surprised. The so-called legend itself is a kind of anecdote, and the way of transmission is very unreliable.

In the past, when Li Yun was in school, he knew that all kinds of rumors would be distorted in the way of spreading. It is possible that what she said was one thing, but it became another person's mouth.

This is the so-called legend——

"The so-called longevity, is it beautiful? Or is it lonely? Chang'e obtained the elixir of immortality, soared in the daytime, and became the god of the sun, but is she really willing to do this?" Han Xiang asked doubtfully, holding her chin.

"This is the theme of the Mid-Autumn Festival, reunion and choice. After leaving, I understand more how much the time together is worth cherishing. She gained longevity, but said goodbye to her lover and family forever." At this time, Li Yun He also thought of his master and adoptive father Xuan Daozi.

I didn't feel anything before, but after Xuan Daozi really went on a long journey, the reluctance in my heart.
"This is the feeling of being a human being. You can't ask for love and leave hatred."

Li Yun closed his eyes slightly, wanting to recall the past time.

However, at this moment, someone interrupted his thoughts.

A little boy appeared in front of the Taoist temple inexplicably.
