Chong Zi - Epilogue 1 of 3 : Where to Return

The years are endless. Life goes through changes.

On the wide river, a light boat on the river goes down the river. There are luscious peach forests on both sides, peach blossoms, flowing water, and morning mist fills the air.

The immortal in white sat on the bow of the boat. A teenage girl stood beside him, wearing a white shirt, white hair tie, light and moving body.

"Teacher, where are we going?"

"To the sky, to the end of the sky."

"It's far."

The immortal in white was taken aback, and turned his face to the side, "Shuixian...don't you want to go with the teacher?"

"No." Seeing the sadness in her eyes, the girl hurriedly shook her head and grabbed his hand with both hands, "Where Master goes, Shuixian will go!"

"Is that true?" The white-clothed immortal smiled faintly.

"Right..."

...

Nowhere in the world, between the clouds and the water, the ship has died.

In your previous life, you were mesmerized by me.

In this life, I will become Immortal for you.

***

Vast mountains covered with snow. Above the mountainside was shrouded in cold clouds and mist, and the mountain peaks could not be seen. Two children stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up, a boy and a girl.

"This mountain is very high. What are you doing here?"

"I want to find Immortal. I want to become a disciple of Xianmen."

"Immortal is where?"

"On the mountain. There is a god on the mountain." The girl swore, "They would come down the mountain every night and go to the other side of the lake to see the stars."

The boy immediately exposed him, "Nonsense! Shishu Zhu said he went hunting in the snowy mountains, there was no one on the mountain, not even a house!"

"They don't live in any house!"

"Where are they live?"

"They live in the sword."

"Is that true?" the boy was shocked.

The girl's face was full of seriousness, "Really, I've seen them."

The boy couldn't believe it, "What are they like?"

The girl sat on a rock and held her face in memory, "They are so charming. The older brother is called Big Brother Chong'er and the younger sister is called Chongzi. He can't talk, can't move, can't laugh."

"What if he doesn't speak?"

"Big brother will hug him and see the stars."

"And then?"

"No longer."

"How is it not there anymore?"

"The elder brother hugged him and got into the sword!"

"You're lying!"

It's another summer night. The sky is thousands of miles away, the stars and rivers are bright, boys and girls sit side by side on the rocks by the lake. Looking at the snow capped mountains in the distance.

The girl suddenly said mysteriously, "Last night they came out to see the stars again."

"They?"

"They are Immortals!"

The boy was suspicious, "What happened to them?"

"When the elder sister spoke, my brother smiled, and the smile was very beautiful." After the girl finished speaking, looking a little crazy.

"What did he say?"

"Very nice."

"What is it?" the boy wondered.

"He said good." The girl glanced at him sideways.

"What's good?"

"Good is good!"

...

"See!" The boy had a sharp eye, raised his finger and pointed into the distance, a beam of silver light swept across the snow-capped mountains, streaked across the night sky, and flew towards the long river like a meteor.

The girl exclaimed happily, "Big brother and little sister are really immortal!"

The boy deliberately said, "No, they are demons!"

"You are talking nonsense. They are Immortal!"

"It's a demon!"

The two children were arguing endlessly when an old man with a white beard suddenly appeared behind them with a kind and friendly face, he patted his little shoulder, "Two little devils, run again!"

"Grandfather Xingxuan!" The two children jumped, screamed and laughed while tugging at the old man.

The old man stroked his beard and looked pleasant, "What are you two arguing about?"

The girl was the first to tell what happened.

The old man nodded, "You are right, they temporarily live in the sword, not humans, but they will return one day."

The boy hurriedly asked, "Then are they Immortals or Demons?"

The old man also sat next to him, "Well, there is no difference between the Immortal and the devil in the world. If you have good thoughts in your heart, then the devil is a fairy, and if you have evil thoughts in your heart, the Immortal can also become a demon."

The girl wondered "I don't understand how a demon is an Immortal, and how an Immortal is a demon."

The old man touched his head and explained patiently, “Just like us, we have good thoughts of Immortals and evil thoughts of devils. If you believe that he is an immortal, he might really become an immortal; devil just because he is a devil, not only is he a devil, but you will also become a devil."

The boy was confused, "Then are we Immortals or Demons?"

The old man laughed and patted the little head again, "Silly boy! Forget this, we're humans!"
