In fact, the depth of the water is only more than half a meter, as long as you hold back the panic and stand up, it will be fine, but Zong Qing feels that his ankles are entangled by a strange force, and he can't break his feet by saying anything, and his body is gradually submerged in the water, and he chokes on several mouthfuls of pond water.

A passing little novice heard the sound and had to take a flat pole to carry water with his senior brother and his brother to rescue Zong Qing. Zong Qing was frightened, hugged the thigh of the little novice and cried: "In the water, there are monsters in the water, master save me!" ”

The little novice looked at Zong Qing's dirty clothes with disgust, and desperately struggled with his thighs, "Where are there any monsters in the quiet place of Buddhism?" The pool was not very deep, and the donor was just scaring himself. ”

Another older novice glanced at the lotus flower in the pond that was destroyed by Zong Qing's struggle, and said to him very unceremoniously: "I didn't see the donor yesterday, and there was no outsider to stay in the temple, how did the donor come into the temple early this morning?" ”

Zong Qing couldn't answer, and the big novice felt that this poor scholar was here to fight the autumn breeze or come to the temple to steal food, and he didn't have a good impression of him, so he urged him to leave quickly.

Zong Qing had no other way, his whole body was soaked, so he asked the big novice to borrow him a monk's robe full of patches, and finally had a change of clothes, and then returned to his home. After going back, he was inevitably nagged and scolded by his family again, and Zong Qing himself felt very ashamed.

I was already in the pond and suffered from the cold, and I was frightened a lot, and I was depressed, so I actually caused a serious illness. Because the family is poor and has no money to grab expensive medicinal materials, they can only grab cheap recipes to eat. Later, he became more and more ill, as if he was about to die.

The servant of the family hurried to the bazaar to buy a coffin for him, and met a woman on the way. He was asked to him, "Are you a servant of the prime minister?" The servant replied, "Yes, but he is dying." ”

The woman said, "Zong Xianggong is my cousin, and I heard that he is very sick, and I wanted to visit him, but I happened to be unable to go. Here's a pack of elixir, and I'll give it to him. ”

The servant took the medicine and took it home. Zong Qing thought that there were no sisters among his cousins, and he knew that it was the fox demon Xiaowan who wanted to save him. After taking this medicine. Sure enough, the illness was cured, and the body fully recovered in more than ten days. He was very grateful to Xiao Wan in his heart, so he prayed to the air. Hope to see her again.

One night, Zong Qing was drinking alone when he suddenly heard the sound of his fingers tapping the window. Pull out the latch and go out to see that it was Xiaowan. Zong Qing was overjoyed. Hold her hand and show gratitude. And invite her to sit down and have a drink.

Xiao Wan said to him hurriedly: "Why haven't you brought that red lotus home yet?" Zong Qing shook his head: "Don't mention it, not only did you not touch the red lotus, but you almost lost your life." When I go to that temple again in the future, the novices in the temple will not let me enter again, and look at their eyes, they will treat me like a thief! This group of bald donkeys who just eat fast and don't work, when I add a red robe one day, they will definitely make them look good. ”

Xiao Wan didn't like to listen to Zong Qing's words. He frowned impatiently and said, "It seems that the red lotus has been on guard for a long time and will not let you get close." I'm afraid that even your entry into the water is her means! So be it. Tomorrow morning, you go to Nanhu a little earlier, and you see a woman picking lotus flowers, and one of them is dressed in red, so you sail to her. If you can't tell where she is, look at the embankment and find a short-stemmed lotus hidden under the leaves, so you can pick it up, light a candle and burn the flower pedicle, and she will appear! ”

Zong Qing believed it to be true, and was a little more dissatisfied with the lotus girl she had never seen, it turned out that she was bad for her to fall into the water and almost die of illness, if she could get her, she would definitely humiliate her.

Xiao Wan lowered her head and pursed her lips, if it weren't for Zong Qing, who still had a lot of years to live, and had accumulated blessings in his previous life, he would not have died easily, so he would not have entrusted him with such an important task. He really has no strengths other than being lustful.

Unwilling to see Zong Qing's face again, Xiao Wan stood up and wanted to say goodbye, but Zong Qing was itching to keep her again and again, Xiao Wan was very unhappy, and said sharply: "Since the last disaster, I have had an epiphany on the right path, why exchange the love of the pillow for the hatred of others?" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and disappeared with a twist. It's fake, and it's true that I can't look down on Zong Qing.

In addition to looking for some men to absorb essence these days, Xiao Wan spent the rest of her time exploring Qihe's whereabouts. Qihe practice is not slack, rarely traveling, the only day to travel is the lotus festival on June 18 every year, she will turn into a human form and a group of lotus picking girls in the South Lake to pick lotus flowers.

Xiao Wan decided to help Zong Qing and find Qihe's true body, so that Zong Qing defiled her spirit body and damaged her cultivation.

On the 18th of June, it is the festival of all the lotus flowers in the world, and many young lotus pickers gather in the South Lake, rowing a boat to cruise in the lotus leaves of the fields in the lake.

"Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian, fish play between lotus leaves. Fish play lotus leaf east, fish play lotus leaf west, fish play lotus leaf south, fish play lotus leaf north. Who is the daughter in the depths of the lotus? Give me a green lotus coat ......" The crisp voice echoed in the lotus pond, and the pedestrians on the shore stopped one after another, wanting to see which lotus picker had such a good voice.

I saw that among the lotus leaves of the pavilion, there was a small boat carrying a pair of mustache girls, black hair and powder, and she was born beautiful. When the boat looked closer, it turned out to be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, dressed in red, dazzling like a red lotus among the green lotus leaves.

The body is soft and light, picking a small boat of lotus canopy, only a slight leap to step on the shore, only to see her white face embedded with a pair of beautiful eyes, radiant, beautiful not like a mortal woman.

The girl in the red dress is tall, a red dress tightly tied to the belt, the waist is tightly gripped, and a pair of jade feet under the water silk pants are put in narrow red shoes, like two dexterous little finch, revealing the pointed toe of the shoe.

The girl dragged the boat to the shore, and the lotus canopy was full of greenery, tender and lovely. Tourists on the shore rushed to buy the girl's lotus pod. In the lotus festival, the more beautiful girls pick lotus flowers, the more people spend a lot of money to buy them, in order to find a good omen for the daughter of the family. The girl saw the crowd around her, and smiled and revealed a pair of small pear vortexes.

Zong Qing's red-clothed girl, her two eyes couldn't turn away as if they were hooked by a hook, her throat kept swallowing saliva, and when she saw everyone rushing over to buy the red-clothed girl's lotus canopy, he touched his flat money bag, gritted his teeth and came over.
