"Daddy!"

A childish voice sounded outside the Cloud Sea Gate.

Yun Hai quickly got up from the bed, put on his clothes and opened the door.

A little boy about seven or eight years old stood in front of the door.

"Song'er, what's the matter? What's the matter with getting up so early?" Yun Hai asked in surprise.

"Dad, have you forgotten? I'm going to clean the room on the mountaintop for the ancestor today." Yun Song reminded.

"Ah, yes, Daddy almost overslept. Well, wait for Daddy to get the lantern and dust whisk." Yun Hai looked like he was just waking up from a dream.

"Here, let's go." Song Ling'er had arrived at the door with a lantern and a whisk at some point.

"Aniang!" Yun Song saluted, "Aniang, do you want to go too?"

"Well, I want to visit this year too." Song Ling'er touched Yun Song's little head and smiled.

Yun Hai took the lantern and whisk from Song Linger's hand, took Song Linger's hand and said softly, "Then let's go together."

Song Ling'er smiled gently, and took Yun Song's little hand.

The three of them left Xiaoyue Pavilion and walked towards the top of Mount Taihe.

The sky is slightly bright, and the birds and beasts in the mountains are all silent.The air is cold, mixed with the fragrance of trees.

A new moon hangs on the side of the mountain, seemingly far away.

"Aniang, do you think grandma has really become the moon?" Yun Song asked looking at the new moon.

"Well, it should be. Master said that grandma is the moon god in the sky, so her sword spirit is the moon." Song Linger replied.

"What about grandpa?" Yun Song asked again.

"Your grandfather is just an ordinary person, but he is not ordinary either. He married a beautiful fairy, so he is more powerful than a fairy." Song Linger laughed.

Yun Song smiled faintly, then pointed to the morning star next to the new moon and said faintly: "That star is Grandpa."

Yun Hai wondered, "How do you know?"

Yun Song smiled slyly and said, "The secret must not be revealed."

Song Linger touched Yun Song's little head: "You're talking nonsense again."

Yun Song suddenly said seriously: "I'm not talking nonsense. It's true. Grandpa told me himself."

Yun Hai smiled and said, "You boy, did he tell you in a dream?"

"Well, how did you know?" Yun Song asked with a blink of an eye.

"Haha, of course I know, grandpa has been dead for so long, where else can he be if he is not in a dream... By the way, what else did you dream about?" Yun Hai thought that Yun Song was talking nonsense, so he teased him disapprovingly.

"Hmph, Dad doesn't believe what I said at all. What I said was not a dream, it was something in a dream...Grandpa said you are not calm enough, it is true." Yun Song curled his lips.

Yun Hai couldn't help laughing.

Song Ling'er giggled, "Okay, you father and son don't talk about each other, they are just children talking nonsense. Let's go, it's almost dawn."

Yunhai and Yunsong each "hummed" each other, no one paid any attention to the other, and walked up with their heads tilted.

Arrived at Xiaoyue Cave.

Yunhai opened the cave door, and the three of them walked in. They began to sweep the dust off the bed and wipe the tables and benches in the room.

"Tell me, where did Master go? Did he become a fairy?" Song Linger asked while wiping the bed.

Yun Hai shook his head, and then replied: "It should be. After I came back, I found that there was no one in the cave, but Master clearly told me to come here to find him. Master is so profound and has done so many good deeds. It's not surprising that he turned into a fairy. What's more, he was the apprentice of a fairy."

"Yeah, it would be great if that's the case, he and A Niang can meet again, A Niang is also a god, maybe Daddy will be with them too..." Song Linger sighed.

"Ling'er, come here!" Song Lan's voice sounded.

"Hey, Daddy!" Song Ling'er replied casually, but was suddenly startled, straightened up and looked around.

Yun Hai and Yun Song also stopped, looking at the bed.

A picture gradually emerged on the wall of the bed:

In the courtyard of Mingyue Pavilion, little Song Linger was catching butterflies.

Song Lan sat at the stone table and called, "Ling'er, come here!"

Xiao Ling'er reluctantly put down the butterfly net, and walked to Song Lan's side with her mouth pouted.

"Ling'er, look at the copybook you wrote, it's a mess! Can you write with dim sum? Why are you so playful..." Song Lan crackled and taught.

Xiao Ling'er pursed her mouth and felt like she was about to cry.

"Cough cough", Ming Xiyue came in, pretending to cough.

Song Lan pretended not to see it, and continued to teach Song Linger a lesson.

"Song Lan, what are you doing?... Oh, my dear granddaughter, don't cry, don't you just have a few copybooks, grandpa will write for you later, okay, let's go play." Ming Yu and Yue Qin also came in, and Seeing Song Linger wiping away her tears with aggrieved appearance, she immediately comforted her with distress.

Song Lan saw that it was his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and immediately got up, looking at a loss.

"You, you, why are you so strict with a child? She is still young and has a playful nature. Yue'er was also very playful when she was a child, but look at her, she is still very good at fairy arts..." Ming Yu reprimanded Song Lan.

Song Lan didn't say a word, and stood helplessly listening to the training.

"Pfft", Song Linger smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, it turned out that her father, like Yun Hai, was so afraid of Mr. Yuezhang.

"Okay, okay, don't put on airs. Don't you treat Yue'er the same way? You have been very strict with her since she was a child, which made her afraid of you. If it weren't for Xingchen to help her, she might be bullied by you all day long." Tears welled up in the training." Yueqin persuaded.

Ming Yu seemed to remember the past, so he closed his mouth, then took out a chessboard and said, "Sit down and play chess with me!"

Song Lan sat down obediently, but her face was wrinkled into a bitter gourd. She was not good at playing chess.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to? Let me tell you, if Yue'er and I hadn't begged Master to hold the mountains and loose people so that you could become a gold star, would you still be here? Would you still be able to marry Yue'er?  …" I don't know what's good about you, Yue'er insists on marrying you, how wonderful is Xingchen..." Ming Yu babbled again seeing Song Lan's reluctance.

"Father, can you take a break for a while? Let's play chess! Song Lan is the best kind to his daughter. Why do you say such hurtful things?" Ming Xiyue finally couldn't help but said, seeming a little angry.

Ming Yu quickly shut his mouth, "hehe" said with a smile: "Dad is old, and his mouth is a bit broken. Come, play chess, play chess."

Ming Xiyue sat next to Song Lan and taught him how to play chess. Song Lan immediately felt a lot more relaxed. He knew that Yue'er was very good at chess.

"Xingchen, you're here!" Yueqin was embroidering, and when she looked up and saw Xiao Xingchen pushing in through the door, followed by a little boy, she greeted enthusiastically.

"Little uncle, why are you here? Hey, who is this little boy?" Yue'er heard Xiao Xingchen coming, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Yes, I just came back from the mountain and brought some gifts for everyone... This is a colorful chessboard for senior brother, this is ice silk for senior sister, this is a silver kitchen knife for Song Lan, and this is rouge for you ..." Xiao Xingchen took out a bunch of presents from his Qiankun bag, and everyone gathered around to accept them.

"Master, where's my gift?" Xiao Ling'er saw that everyone had received a gift, but she didn't, so she asked.

Xiao Xingchen knelt down and said with a sly smile, "What gift do you think Master brought you?"

Xiao Ling'er tilted her head in thought, then hesitated and guessed: "Candy?"

Xiao Xingchen shook his head.

"clothing?"

Xiao Xingchen still shook his head.

"Bamboo dragonfly?"

Xiao Xingchen still shook his head.

Xiao Ling'er was a little anxious, and said coquettishly: "Master, what is it? I can't guess!"

"Yes, it might be me." A weak voice sounded behind Xiao Xingchen.

Everyone looked at the little boy who was talking.

His white face blushed immediately, and he saluted, "Hello seniors! My name is Yun Hai, and I am an orphan. Master took me as an apprentice and took me up the mountain. He told me that there is a little sister on the mountain who wants a playmate... umm , I can sing, catch birds, catch butterflies, fish...or I’ll show sister Ling’er a rope turn first.” After speaking, he took out a thin rope from his pocket, tied the two ends together, and then Holding it on the fingers of both hands, he began to flip through the flowers, explaining as he flipped through: "This is a bridge... this is a turtle... this is a star..."

Xiao Ling'er opened her eyes wide curiously, feeling attracted.

The two children played together immediately.

The adults would smile heartily, and then sit back at the table, and Ming Xiyue would pour tea for everyone.

"Xingchen, you are going down the mountain to help the world again. Sure enough, Master is right about you. You are really a good god." Ming Yu praised.

"Senior Brother Miao Zan, I just listened to Master's teachings. Master saved me back then, and I promised to repay this kindness. Now I'm just fulfilling my promise. The world is still not peaceful, I hope the world can be more peaceful and happy." Xiao Xing Dust smiled humbly.

Ming Yu and Yue Qin nodded and smiled.

"Father, mother, little uncle, come over to eat, Song Lan has already prepared." Ming Xiyue shouted.

Ming Yu and Yue Qin looked at each other and smiled, Song Lan was also an excellent son-in-law.

……

The picture on the wall gradually disappeared, and Song Linger had already burst into tears.

Yun Hai put his arms around her and comforted her, "Seeing that everyone is well, that's all."

Yun Song suddenly shouted: "Daddy, did you see that? Grandpa is Venus, and Venus is Venus. Am I talking nonsense?"

Yun Hai and Song Ling'er looked at each other and smiled. What does this kid pay attention to?

The three of them finished cleaning and left Xiaoyue Cave.

The crescent moon in the sky is about to disappear, leaving only a faint trace, and the morning star is gradually melting into the clouds, and it is almost invisible.

Song Ling'er looked at them and said to herself: "Father, Aunt, it's great that you have become the stars and the moon, always by your side. Thank you... goodbye."
