Seeking Longevity by the River of Forgetfulness

During the Hungry Ghost Festival that year, Xue Shi did not return to the underworld.

In the middle of the night, only one candle was lit in the huge Hall of Eternal Life.The candlelight swayed strangely in the wind, the inside of the hall was covered with ice and it was bitingly cold, and the sound of the wind outside the hall always gave people a feeling of chills down the spine.

Long Bieyi sat cross-legged on the ground, pointing the candle directly at his face, the light and shadows on his face were mottled by the dismal fire.He had a book of stories spread out on his lap, and he was telling Xue Shi ghost stories.

Long Bieyi lowered his voice: "Zhang San didn't believe in ghosts or gods, so he hid the man's body under the bed. When he woke up the next day, he found himself kneeling in front of the Ten Temple Wheel-Turning King. The blue-faced fangs born of the Hades , ferocious and terrifying, exuding black nobility all over his body, and his voice was harsh like a file. The King of Hades of the Ten Temples asked: "You dare to come to my underworld to make trouble?" All the hair turned into a poisonous tongue, and he spitting out the letter, "Go to Abi Hell and be cut in the shape of a living person, so that you can't live, you can't die!""

After Long Bieyi finished speaking, he took a deep breath.He took a sip of tea, looked at the face of the opposite person in the dim light of the fire, and asked mischievously: "Xiao Xue, how is it? Are you afraid? If you are afraid, hide by your husband."

Xue Shi whispered, "What is behind you?"

"Ah——" Long Bieyi screamed, knocked over the candle, threw herself into Xue Shi's arms, and said tremblingly, "What is it, Xiao Xue?"

Xue Shi held up the candle and put it in front of his face, with a solemn expression and an erratic voice: "Look carefully, am I still your little Xue?"

Long Bieyi screamed "Ah—" and stepped back several meters away, leaning against the pillar of the dormitory, her face buried in her knees trembling.

Xue Shi chuckled, took a few steps on his knees, hugged Long Bieyi tightly in his arms, and lit up all the lamps in the bedroom with a wave of his hand.For a while, the lights were brightly lit, as bright as day, Xue Shi held Long Bieyi's face in his hands and asked, "Look, I am your little Xue."

Long Bieyi let out a "hum", and turned her face away.After a while, he buried his face tightly in Xue Shi's arms as if he was afraid, and said in a muffled voice, "Big villain."

"Coward." Xue Shi said.

"I'm not a coward," Long Bieyi murmured, "I'll go to the underworld after I die. I'm not afraid no matter how much the King of Hades from the Ten Palaces threatens me. I will reincarnate and continue to be a human being, and then pester you."

Xue Shi patted his head: "What if His Majesty the Tenth Prince insists on you entering the animal realm?"

Long Bieyi smiled and said: "Then I'll be a milk cat, meowing at your door all day. You look cold and unattainable, but in fact you are very easy to soften your heart. I will rely on you, Let you pick me up, if you get married, I will lose my temper and turn your family upside down."

With a picture in Xue Shi's mind, he chuckled softly, "That's really an irritable cat, you can't keep it, get rid of it and then quickly."

Long Bieyi pushed him away: "What are you talking about? This king is an aristocrat, even if he turns into a cat, he is still a big tiger with the word 'king' on his head. He is extremely ferocious. If you mess with me, I will bite you to death." , die in love with me."

Xue Shi nodded between his eyebrows: "Okay, you and I will fall into hell together, and we will never be reborn forever."

Long Bieyi pouted, but thinking that being able to suffer together with Xue Shi didn't seem to be a bad thing, so he smiled slightly.He looked around and asked coldly, "Why are all the lights on?"

Xue Shi paused, and said with a guilty conscience, "Yuman ordered it just now."

Long Bieyi frowned: "This kid moves fast enough, I didn't even realize it."

Xue Shi pinched his face and changed the subject: "Are you leaving the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Long Bieyi's eyes glowed, and he asked full of expectation: "Can you leave the palace? Is your body okay?"

Xue Shi: "No problem."

The yang energy in the palace city is too heavy, but going out of the palace is comfortable, and it can make the child happy.

Long Bieyi nodded: "Then I'll go out of the palace with you after I've dealt with the minister."

He kissed Xue Shi's neck, and said softly: "Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year's Eve, Shangyuan, birthday...you will spend the festive season with me every year from now on." For some reason, he always felt insecure in his heart, Intuitively think that Xue Shi and him are not from the same world, they appeared suddenly at the beginning, and they will disappear suddenly in the future.

Xue Shi gave an "um" and kissed him on the forehead.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is like frost, and the royal city is very lively and full of voices.

Xue Shi was wearing a bright red silk dress, and Long Bieyi was wearing a light golden robe. The two touched shoulders and walked side by side, interlocking their fingers secretly from time to time in the bustling crowd.

After visiting the night market, Long Bieyi was filled with mooncakes, meatballs, and sugar cakes, and dragged Xue Shi to see the sky lantern.Xue Shiwen took his hand, led him away from the crowd, and climbed up a small hill in the dark.

"What are you doing here? Everyone's crowded underneath!" Long Bieyi said hastily.

Xue Shi tapped Long Bie Yi's head with a paper fan he didn't know where, and said, "Be safe and don't be impatient."

Just as Long Bieyi was about to speak, Xue Shi pointed to the distant sky and said, "Here."

Under the dark night, thousands of sky lanterns are slowly rising, in different shapes, but without exception, they all exude warm light, like a warm flame, illuminating the endless night brightly, as bright as day .

Long Bie couldn't stop admiring, with bright lights printed on the bottom of his eyes, his eyes were more piercing than ever.

The first batch of sky lanterns rose to a high place, and they became tiny stars, dotted with the distant Milky Way; while the new batch of sky lanterns rose continuously, continuing the bright fire that brought people hope.

Long Bieyi touched the scene and fell in love, but suddenly his shoulders sank.Xue Shi hugged him from behind, put his face gently on his shoulder, and said: "May my beloved live in peace and joy forever."

The beautiful scenery of the prosperous age has a panoramic view, the lover whispers softly in his ear, Long Bieyi's eyes are sore, and he can't help crying.

"May the rivers and rivers in this world be clear and clean, and may my beloved live forever and live without worries. May I live up to the years and be buried in the Mausoleum of Heroes after death."

Long Bieyi read in a trembling voice, every word came from his heart.

Xue Shi turned his head and kissed Long Bie Yi's face, and Long Bie Yi also turned his face to kiss him.Tears wet the cheeks of the two, and also watered the most sincere yearning and love in the hearts of young people.

The author has something to say: Thanks for reading~

The inspiration for watching the sky lantern comes from the Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival, which was observed in Taiwan during the Lantern Festival this year. It is really a superb night scene.
