Chapter 16: The Golden Flower
The moment I entered, I stayed where I was.
From surprise to surprise, I can't accurately express my mood at the moment.
As far as the eye could see, there were golden flowers that I had never seen before, blooming and stretching together, like a golden road to heaven.
I unconsciously walked into the sea of flowers, and when my fingers touched the tender petals, I couldn't help but ask, "What kind of flower is this?"
"Manju Sahua"
Manju Sawa ...... Legend has it that it blooms on the banks of the Lethe River in the underworld, but I never knew it could bloom golden.
Lowering your head close to it, you can smell a faint smell between your nose, which seems to be fragrant but as if it is not.
"Did you plant it?"
Xuan Chen leaned on the pillar in front of the door and looked over, and replied, "Do you like it?"
Pure gold, it seems that it has not been contaminated with any earthly fireworks, holy and dazzling, no one will not like such beauty, I nodded and smiled: "I like it"
"I know you're going to love it!no matter how much time passes......"
Listening to his words, I couldn't help but be more curious about the origin of this flower, "I have never seen the introduction of golden manju sawa in any books or materials, there are a lot of red."
Xuanchen slowly walked into the sea of flowers, lowered his head and looked at the golden flowers and said lightly: "The red flower on the other side is born in the Yellow Spring, blooms on the bank of the Santu River in the underworld, and is the flower of the other side of the Lethe River."
The legend does describe it, but the living have no way of knowing. Just listening to Xuan Chen's words, I actually had a feeling that he seemed to have seen it, and I couldn't help asking, "You seem to have seen it?"
Xuanchen lowered his eyes and looked at me, his expression was a little melancholy, and the corners of his lips pulled up a small arc, "It happened many years ago!"
I suddenly felt a little creepy, if Manju Sawa was really born in the underworld like the legend, and only the soul can only be seen when he passes through the reincarnation of Lethe, then hasn't he really been to the underworld?!
I moved back to distance ourselves and cautiously asked, "Did you mean you'd seen it in the Underworld?" It's not that I'm imagining too much, it's just that what has happened in the past few years is too extraordinary and unbelievable, so I can't help but think about it too much.
Xuan Chen's eyes suddenly looked at me with a little coldness, which made me even more nervous, and I was thinking about how likely it would be for me to escape if he suddenly transformed?!The next moment he smiled again, just as gentle as before, "Imagination is too rich, it's easy to grow old quickly!" After speaking, he reached out and stroked my cheek and said, "With me by your side, you don't need to be afraid at any time."
For his intimate behavior, I was a little stunned and then a little ashamed, but after listening to his last sentence, these emotions inexplicably turned into a faint joy in my heart.
"Let's go, go in and have a cup of tea"
As I walked into the house after Hyun Chen, I couldn't help but look back at the sea of golden flowers again, I had read in a book that Manju Sawa meant despair and death, but looking at this golden I only felt hope and beauty.
In the center of the hall is a group of leather sofas, and in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the right side is a one-person high screen, on which are painted with undulating green mountains and grasses.
"Master, refreshments are ready"
I was startled by the sudden sound of the voice, and I hurriedly turned to look at the source of the voice, and a man in a white robe stood respectfully behind the screen, his head bowed, and I could barely see his face.
Turning to look at Xuanchen, he was looking at the screen beside me, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.
I can't see through things and people, or do I feel the feelings?
Xuanchen slowly stepped forward and walked around behind the screen, and I followed, only to defend the original There was no world behind the screen.
An antique chaise longue is placed behind the screen, and next to the couch is a mahogany tea table shaped like lotus leaves and several wooden chairs.
At this moment, the tea on the tea table is fragrant, and a few plates of pink and white pastries are obviously the refreshments that the man in the white robe just said.
I was just about to sit down, and suddenly I thought that the white-robed man was standing behind the screen just now, and I was standing next to the screen, and I didn't hear half a sound or footsteps, how could this be possible?!
I turned to look at Xuanchen, who had already sat down to drink tea, and wondered, "Why didn't that person make any noise just now?"
Xuan Chen pointed to the tea cup in front of me and said with a smile: "Try it"
Delicate white porcelain tea cup in a pool of blue tea soup, it looks fresh and lovely, I took a sip, the entrance is bitter with a bit of sweet taste, in the past two years in the tea community I have also drunk and seen a lot of good tea, according to the color and aroma of the tea in the cup at this moment, this tea is excellent, I can't help but praise: "It's really good tea."
After a cup of tea, Fang listened to Xuanchen and said casually: "He is not human, naturally there will be no sound"
"Huh?" "Isn't it a person?!Who?" I thought for a moment when I put the tea cup down, and then looked at Xuanchen who was leisurely drinking tea incredulously, and said incredulously: "You mean that the white-robed man just now is not a person? Could it be a ghost?" Thinking of Manzhu Sawa in the garden, I suddenly felt an eerie coldness.
"He's not a ghost, he's just a puppet I made with magic."
Although I have seen a lot in the past few years, although I can accept the fact that the man in the white robe is inhuman, what shocked me even more was Xuan Chen's words.
I don't know what the puppet he is talking about, but I have never seen it before!
I've never seen him use spells, but my instincts tell me that he should be very powerful, maybe not under Musin.
I asked with some caution, "That puppet is very powerful, isn't it?"
Xuan Chen pinched a piece of pastry and handed it over, I quickly caught it and waited for his answer, but I didn't want the other party to just smile slightly: "It's just a little trick" said while continuing the tea: "If you want to learn, I can teach you, but I don't think it's necessary, with me by your side, you can tell me directly what you want."
After directly ignoring the second half of the sentence, the previous proposal is still very exciting to me, a free obedient servant, except for the little bit of no interest, it's a dream, "Then please teach me!"
Listening to my request, Xuanchen added tea to his hand, looked at me and smiled: "It's not difficult to teach you, but with your current ability, I'm afraid it's difficult to control."
I just dislike me for being weak! Then what are you going to teach me?! Hmph! I was a little angry and stuffed the pastry in my hand directly into my mouth and chewed it a few times.
But angry and angry, the taste of this pastry is not ordinarily good, sweet but not greasy, soft with a hint of fragrance, like the sweetness of a flower but it is difficult to distinguish for a while.
After eating and drinking, I calmed down, remembered the purpose of my trip, wiped my mouth and asked, "Why did you end up there that night?"
Xuanchen's subordinates looked at me with a smile and said, "Because I can sense you"
Sensed me? This was a surprise to me!
I didn't know if what he said was true or not, but I couldn't see anything when I carefully examined his expression, and I couldn't help but say, "Induction, how to induce?"
Xuan Chen smiled and pointed to his chest and said softly: "Of course it is with your heart"
At this point, I was sure that the so-called induction that this guy said was teasing me, so I threw him a blank slap in the face.
Xuanchen laughed, his smile was almost as bright as the light of those golden manzhu sawa in the garden, which made me lose my mind slightly.
"Do you like me a little?"
Listening to his somewhat playful question, I coughed a little embarrassed and pulled out the jade plaque around my neck, and asked the second question, "Do you know the origin of this jade plaque?"
He glanced at the jade plate on my chest and said lightly: "It's useless"
Listening to his words, I became more and more sure that he knew something about this jade plate, and quickly said: "There was a touch of red in this jade plate before, and it was that red that saved me that night."
After listening to my words, Xuanchen didn't say anything but slowly sipped the tea, and I didn't rush to ask any more questions, because my intuition told me what he would say to me about this jade plaque.
Sure enough, my intuition has always been very accurate, and after a cup of tea, I heard Xuanchen say lightly: "That's not a touch of red, but a drop of blood."
A drop of blood, the same as Mu Xin said, it seems that he really knows, I subconsciously clenched the jade plate and asked: "A drop of blood?
Xuanchen looked at me steadily, as if he was looking deeper through me, and after a long time I heard him say, "The blood of the man in your dreams."
The blood of the man in my dreams...... I suddenly remembered the woman on the green jade platform, but what shocked me even more was Xuanchen's words just now, and I said in disbelief: "How do you know my dream?"
Xuan Chen's gaze moved from my face to the jade plate, and after changing his gaze a few times, he said lightly: "You will know in the near future!"
Although he gave me a plausible answer compared to Mousin's silence, this answer not only did not solve my doubts, but only made my doubts stronger.
How did he know about my dream? I never told anyone about that dream but Musin! Could it be that Musin told him? But my intuition was not! And who was the woman on the green jade platform in the dream? If it was as Xuanchen said, then how did Musin get the blood of the man in my dream? When and what did he mean by the near future?
I didn't have a clue about these questions until I got back to my apartment, and I suddenly found myself falling into an abyss of mysteries, and I had no way of knowing how deep it was.
After lying down for a long time and still not feeling sleepy, I simply turned on the light and sat up and took off the jade plaque around my neck to look at it.
Xuanchen said that this jade plate is useless, so why did Mu Xin give it to me before leaving.
Cher was woken up by me, jumped on the bed and lay on my lap, I touched the soft fluff of the little guy and couldn't help but say, "Where do you think Musin will be now?"
Cher rubbed her head against my palm and screamed.
I couldn't help but pick up Xue'er, touch her forehead and smile: "It's good to have you, otherwise I would really miss him!"
Cher stretched out her little tongue and licked my eyes, the soft damp heat was a little itchy, and I smiled and hugged the little one back to bed.
Although Xuanchen said that the jade plate is useless, I think I will keep it forever, just as Mu Xin left me a thought, maybe he will come back one day!
When I woke up and opened the door the next day, I almost tripped over the bottle at the door, and I was a little surprised when I looked at it.
A golden flower sparkles in a transparent crystal vase, sparkling in the morning sun.
I picked up the bottle and looked at it, the bottle was filled with a light blue liquid, and the manzhu sawa soaked in it looked very fresh, I remember that Xuanchen didn't go to the garden again when I left the villa yesterday, when was this flower picked?
I went downstairs with the bottle in confusion, and Xuanchen was eating breakfast in the living room.
I held up the bottle in my hand to him, "Did you pick this yesterday?"
He looked at the Manzhu Sawa in my hand and said, "If you like it, keep it."
I naturally like such beautiful flowers, and when I put the bottle on the table, I smiled and said, "Thank you"
Xuan Chen smiled and said, "Let's eat, you have a history class in the morning, and I'll send you to school in a while."
I nodded and started my breakfast.
In the past few days, I have become a little accustomed to eating face-to-face with him like this, and there is a little bit of warmth in the quiet.
My eyes fell on the Manzhu Sawa next to me, I don't know if it was my illusion, I think the color of this flower is more intense than what I saw in the sea of flowers yesterday.
