Mopo counted in and arrived at the back floor. The moon landing platform is bright and lovely, so it stops. Looking at the moon in the west, I can only see the mountains. Sitting for a long time, no less different, snickering at the rumor. Pillow the stone on the floor and lie down to see the cow girl.

when I am exhausted, I feel sleepy. There is a sound of footsteps downstairs. When I fell asleep, I saw a Tsing Yi man, picking a lotus lantern, and suddenly saw the public, but I was surprised but retreated. Later generations said, "There is a living person."

Suddenly found Yin Gong, she was shocked and retreated, and said to the people behind her, "There are strangers up there.
