Section 5 Laurel Fireflies

Xiao Yaoqin, who was laughing, suddenly found that a prominent boulder on the side of the cliff actually emitted a blue-green bewitching light, sparse and sparse, and disappeared from one to another, quietly flowing its different beauty in this dark and dark valley. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info hurriedly took his father's hand, pointed to the flickering streamer over there and said: "Dad, look, there's a huge sapphire over there, it's so beautiful, let's go over and see if it's okay." ”

Yao Li also seemed to be stunned by this abnormal scene at this time, only to see the edge of the cliff, a wisp of silver waterfall like a frightening waterfall straight down, stirring up thousands of feet of mist on the lake at the bottom of the valley, a silver lotus blooming on the surface of the lake like a mirror, the moonlight also poured down from the sparse clouds at this time, sprinkled on the silver waterfall, forming a gauze curtain; Reflected in the mirror lake, painted into a famous painting; Shot in the light stone, stirring up countless blue-green sparks; Through the hearts of the viewers, it turns into endless emotion and amazement.

On the valley, the combination of movement and stillness is so flawless, it makes people feel like they are in a dream. For a while, we were all stupid, and we stood like this for a long time, until a trace of fireflies crossed our sight on the horizon, and then we recovered.

Suddenly, I found that the glowing sapphire on the edge of the valley cliff was not a stone, but an extremely huge and dense tree, deeply rooted in the stone of the cliff, its dense branches covered a radius of ten zhang, and the blue-green fluorescence on it was the thousands of flying fireflies living on the tree, under the illumination of the moonlight, they all swayed away against the glow, like a bright meteor, in the night sky through a series of hard wounds.

"It turns out that there is such a dreamlike fairyland in the world." Yao Li let out a heartfelt sigh.

Xiao Yaoqin next to her said stupidly: "It's so beautiful, it turns out that there is such a beautiful valley on Yao Mountain, there are so many beautiful fireflies, Dad, let's go over there and see if it's okay." ”

"It's okay, it's also our blessing to be able to see such a beautiful scenery, so let's take you over to see it." So he took Xiao Yaoqin and groped his way to climb under the big tree on the cliff.

When I got closer, I realized that this tree was not ordinarily big, and I suddenly felt an overwhelming breath surging in the middle of it, and the trunk alone needed at least ten people to surround it, and the branches on the tree continued to extend into the distance, like a big umbrella standing on the stone platform, and the moonlight shone through the sparse branches, looking up, a little stream of fireflies quietly flickering on the branches, just like looking at the stars in the endless night sky.

Xiao Yaoqin tilted her head back, trying to see clearly, but she couldn't see the boundary of the branches clearly, and couldn't help but sigh: "This tree is so big, I've never seen such a big tree, what kind of tree is this." ”

Yao Li pondered at this time: "If I guess correctly, this is a laurel tree under the gods in ancient times, the laurel tree is a sacred tree, according to legend, there is a laurel tree as high as 500 zhang on the moon, in ancient times, the gods came to this moon in order to find a better place to live, and found that the moon was full of this kind of laurel tree, which was not suitable for habitation, so he sent the god Wu Gang to the moon to cut down the laurel, but there were too many laurel trees on the moon, and they could not be cut down. As a result, later generations will be able to see the image of Wu Gang endlessly cutting laurel in the moon. When you look up at the moon, it looks like a woodcutter cutting down a tree. ”

"Hey, when you say that, Dad, it really looks like a woodcutter cutting trees there, could it be that there are really gods running up to the moon to be woodcutters?" Xiao Yaoqin looked at it carefully and said incredulously.

"I don't know if there are really gods cutting down trees on it, maybe it's just an optical reflection, after all, how many myths and legends have been handed down are unverified. And the laurel tree in front of us is the seed of the laurel tree brought down by the gods from the moon, which was planted by a god on this Yao Mountain, and this god has been playing the harp under this laurel tree since then, and talking about the heavens.

"The more time passes, even this valley becomes like a fairyland under the influence of the gods. This is the origin of the legend of our Yao Mountain, and this tree is also called the Moon God Tree. As for whether there are gods in Yaoshan Mountain, no one has seen this, and it is impossible to verify whether they have left, but the villagers of Yaoshan Village believe that the gods do exist, and Yaoshan Village has been protected from natural disasters for thousands of years by the protection of the gods. So if you have a deep fortune in the future, you may be lucky enough to see the gods in this Yao Mountain. “

Xiao Yaoqin nodded excitedly, and ran away to chase those flying fireflies.

Looking at his son's carefree smiling face like an elf, Yao Li hoped from the bottom of his heart that this smiling face would never disappear.

"Hey, Dad, there's a beautiful guzheng here, come and take a look, could it be that there really a god happened to play the piano here."

Yao Li walked over and said: "This is not the qin used by the gods, but the villagers of Yaoshan felt the blessing of the gods, so they made a guzheng under this laurel tree, hoping that the gods could have piano music at this time when they came to their leisure." ”

"That's it, Dad, don't you like to play the piano very much, why don't you just play a song for me here, Qin'er likes to hear you play the piano."

Yao Li thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, under the rare and beautiful moonlit night, being able to play the piano in a place where the gods play is also a great pleasure in life. So he sat down on the ground, stroked the mottled smooth, antique zither, and sat quietly.

Yao Li's thoughts flew far, far away at once, as if in the light of another world, there was a beautiful woman on the other side who kept smiling at him.

The slender fingers danced, plucking a mournful and beautiful melody on the strings, sometimes crisp, sometimes tactful, sometimes low, sometimes high, like flowing water, like falling jade beads.

The thoughts flew faster and faster, and the melody gradually reached a climax, at this time, countless fireflies seemed to be attracted by the sound of the piano, and they all surrounded Yao Li, dancing like elves, the moonlight shone obliquely on Yao Li's white clothes, and the sword eyebrows starry face, the corners of the eyes flashed with stars and tears.

Xiao Yaoqin suddenly seemed to see another god and was deeply attracted.

The sound of the piano ended in a poignant trill, the fireflies flew back to the branches, Yaoli stood up, at this time the tears in the corners of his eyes had disappeared, and said to Yaoqin who was in a trance: "This song is called Yaoshan, it is I composed for your mother, we met for the first time on Yaoshan, your mother likes the guzheng, likes to listen to me play the piano, often accompanies me to play the piano by my side, and compose new songs." Your mother was born in a family of music and rhythm in Yaoshan Village, and has made a living by building pianos for generations, which is the origin of your name. ”

Xiao Yaoqin looked at the guzheng quietly on the side, and then said, "Since my mother likes to listen to others play the piano, then I also want to learn the piano." At this time, the watery eyes were so bright in the moonlight, and the tone was more firm than ever.

"Okay, go back and ask your Uncle Aoba to build you a piano, it's not too early, we should also go down the mountain and go home." After speaking, he looked at the guzheng with fascination, and then turned around and pulled Xiao Yaoqin down the mountain.

It's strange to say that there are no mountain spirits and ghosts blocking the way along the way, and the two of them went down the mountain smoothly and returned home. Tonight's night is very deep, and in her sleep, Xiao Yaoqin seems to have dreamed of something, whispering and stretching out her hands to grab something...
