The next sentence in the Hall of Eternal Life on July 7th is: In the middle of the night when no one is whispering.
Excerpt:
I sent my farewell message again, and the words contained an oath that two people know each other.
On July 7th, in the Palace of Eternal Life, no one was whispering in the middle of the night.
I would like to be a winged bird in the sky, and a twig on the ground.
The eternity of heaven and earth will eventually come to an end, and this hatred will last forever.
Translation:
I asked the alchemist attentively before leaving, and sent a message to the king's expression, and the oath in his words is known only to the king and me. On July 7th of that year, there was no one in the Changsheng Palace at midnight, so we made an oath of alliance. In the sky, I wish to be like two birds flying together, and on the ground, I wish to be like branches growing side by side. Even if it lasts forever, there will always be an end, but the hatred of life and death will never end.
