Chapter 125: The Dragon of White Water
Behind the steep slope connecting Qianhua City and Qiu Ze Mountain, there is a mountain forest, and the forest paths are wanton and horizontal, interspersed and interspersed, until they lead to the innermost.
Behind the mountains and forests, there is a strange pool of water, surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is no fluctuation all year round, and the name is white water. It is said that in the white water, a green-skinned dragon was once blocked. After a long time, petrified at the bottom of the pool, turned into a stone statue, this stone statue has a spirit, so every day in early March, it will form a big whirlpool of jade plate in the middle of the pool, the whirlpool turns and turns, and there will be a road to the bottom of the pool. Mortals can enter, and there are pearls and gold all over the ground. There were also many dead bones.
The sky just lit up with a touch of fish belly white, Xiangxue got up to clean up her things, yesterday Mo Yanxi specially instructed Xiangxue to make more pastries, and take them out today.
In the stove room, the open flame was vigorous, and a wisp of green smoke rose up. The plan of the day is in the morning. Not long after, the sound of reading came from the courtyard.
At the end of the day, everyone packed up, sat in a carriage, and took advantage of the mist to go to the white water pool in the mountains and forests.
Nan Ke lay on the window, lazy, like a kitten, yawned, and complained: "What are you doing when you get up so early, and then there is nothing to see in that place, and there will not really be any dragons, gold and pearls, but they are nothing but imaginary things written by predecessors, just read them as a book, what can be strange." ”
Mo Yanxi also looked tired, last night she spent almost the whole night reminiscing about the Chaohai in the dream of the Li family, the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep, and she didn't fall asleep until dawn. At this time, I look listless, like a persimmon beaten by frost.
"Just come out to breathe, there are many people in Qianhua City, and the noise is a headache, but now it is far away from the smoke and fireworks, and it is so clean and clean."
Mo Yanxi whispered, and he didn't know whether he was saying this to Nan Ke or to himself. In short, the people in their carriage, except for Sakura Niang, didn't look very interested.
"Yesterday I specially asked the old housekeeper in the yard, it is said that there are a lot of cherished wild game near Baishuitan, even if the scenery is not liked, this eating and drinking is also a pleasure, and I think the place is really good."
Sakura said, a smile on her face.
Nan Ke listened, and asked with a disgusted expression: "What can there be to see if the fog is so big, the mountains are high and the road is far away, if it rains for a while, the mountains and forests will definitely be cold, maybe the mountain delicacies and game have not been eaten, and you have to toss a sick body back when you turn around." ”
"Phew! What a frustrating thing to say! When Sakura Niang heard this, she hurriedly snorted several times, "This white water pool is spiritual, don't talk nonsense, in case it really rains later, the road is so slippery, we will definitely not be able to come back." Take out such bad things! ”
Half an hour later, the fog slowly cleared, and the morning sun pierced the trees, casting a dappled glow. The sky was clear and cloudless, and it was a rare good weather.
The air was dewy and cool, and it was so fresh that you could hear the sounds of all kinds of beasts along the way.
Yuan Huaisheng knocked on the table, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and there was a small bamboo tube on the table. With the carriage swaying from side to side.
After another half an hour, the horse finally stopped, Xu Ruojin got out of the car, stretched his waist, and said loudly: "Come out quickly, we have arrived!" ”
When everyone heard the words and got out of the car, they couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of them.
I saw that the front of the open is abnormal, a pool of water like a mirror is in it, three sides are rolling green hills, the green mountains are reflected in the clear pool, the water and the sky are the same color, it is very spectacular. In addition, there is a circle of crisp and tender bamboos around Baishuitan, all of which are unusually tall. There is also a stone pavilion not far away, which should have been built by the predecessors, because no one took care of it, and many weeds and wildflowers grew in the nearby sea.
Nan Ke, who was still in a mess just now, is now completely like a wild horse on the loose, looking at everything new and tight.
"I've been here twice when I was a child, and now it's a matter of people, but the scenery hasn't changed. Why don't we go and pick some wild game, by the way, not far from here, there is also a field of flowers, although they are all wild flowers, but they are really beautiful and tight, and they may bloom at this time. You can go and see. ”
"I'll go, I'll go! I'm going! ”
Xu Ruojin's voice did not fall, Nan Ke had already raised his hand excitedly, and in the end, Xu Ruojin took Ying Niang and Su Changqing to the mountains and forests to pick mountain treasures, Su Changfeng followed Nan Ke to find the flower field, Mura Yi and Xiangxue sat by the pool and fished, and the wind fan didn't know where to go. As for Mo Yanxi, he could only choose to accompany Yuan Huaisheng to sit in the stone pavilion and play chess.
Yuan Huaisheng fell, looked up and saw Mo Yanxi looking absent-minded, and said: "Being in Cao Ying's heart is in Han, it doesn't matter if you don't go down." ”
Mo Yanxi hurriedly came back to his senses, looked left and right, and found a place to fall.
"Left and right, when you enter the center, aren't you throwing yourself into the net, raising the flag and surrendering? Okay, the guests are almost here, and I don't want to force myself. ”
Yuan Huaisheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, there was a hearty laugh on the path not far away.
"It's too late, oops, I made you wait."
Mo Yanxi turned his head to look, and saw a smiling boy dressed in white, looking pale from ordinary people, and walked over lightly.
Seeing this, Mo Yanxi was overjoyed, and whispered: "Since the ninth master has made an appointment with the guest, then Yan Xi will no longer bother." ”
Yuan Huaisheng raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "You stay, bother to add some tea." ”
Mo Yanxi looked at it again, gritted his teeth, and Tao Zhiran had already walked in. glanced at the two of them: "It seems that it was not the right time to come down, and the two of them were disturbed." ”
Yuan Huaisheng didn't bother to raise his eyes, and only said coldly: "Sect Master Tao is idle, I can see you everywhere." Since you're here, have a cup of tea, and talk about it, let's have it. ”
Tao Zhiran put down the folding fan in his hand, didn't drink the send-off tea in front of him for a long time, sighed and said: "What am I going to do, you kid already knows it very well in his heart, don't mock me here, you have to come forward in this matter, I always feel that others are unreliable." ”
"This is your Three Poison Sect's business, what does it have to do with me, I have never liked to meddle in any idle matter, especially idle things that are not good for me."
Yuan Huaisheng said, with a hint of murderous intent in his tone.
Tao Zhiran touched his nose and smiled embarrassedly: "You kid, remember the grudge, it's really stingy." I'm a businessman, and if I don't do a business that makes money, it's nothing. It's just a few boxes of medicinal herbs, people want them, and I happen to have them here, and as for what others want to do with them, it's not something I can manage. ”
Saying that, Tao Zhiran leaned closer to Yuan Huaisheng: "Besides, this matter is beneficial to you, but I heard that you want red tassels, so I did everything possible, not far away, and spent a lot of financial resources and manpower to find such a piece for you." Now that you have been taken away by others for no reason, are you willing? ”
Mo Yanxi added tea for Yuan Huaisheng, and said in his heart: That piece of red tassel stone was really replaced.
Yuan Huaisheng sneered: "If you really give it to me sincerely, it's just a matter of sending someone to me directly, why send it to the Holy Fall Assembly and calculate it with Chongshan Dao?" Someone else can figure it out with a snap of their fingers, so why do you coax me. ”
Tao Zhiran shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with me, I definitely don't have anything to do with Yuan Chuqing." I just think it's too easy, it seems that I'm flattering, and I'm also the head of a sect, if it gets out, where will I put my face? That's why I found a way for you to get it yourself. Anyway, this thing will never escape the palm of your hand. Well, then, the matter is mine, and if you can get it back, I will grant you something. ”
"A thing? I don't lack anything, unless it's your head, I'm not interested. ”
Yuan Huaisheng put down the teacup and said coldly, there was really a hint of imminent movement in his words.
Tao Zhiran shrunk his neck: "Don't stare at me, if I say it's the hiding place of the Heavy Mountain Road, I don't know if you're interested?" ”
The lake was windy and crumpled with waves. Yuan Huaisheng finally raised his head: "Since you are a businessman, such a transaction is not benevolent, will you do it?" ”
Tao Zhiran sighed: "I'm also being forced to be anxious, the ghost Shura has been shouting at my head again and again, how can I let them come nonsense." It's just too deceitful! So whatever you give, I want them to pay! As for the Shigeyama Road, there seems to be a change recently. I just thought I was chatting with my friends and saying a little more, and I couldn't take it seriously. ”
Mo Yanxi added tea for Yuan Huaisheng, and couldn't help but shake his head: It's really no treacherous business!
"I never wanted to be threatened to do something I didn't want to do."
Yuan Huaisheng chuckled lightly, seemingly indifferent.
Tao Zhiran drank tea and hugged his fist at Yuan Huaisheng: "Where is the threat, even if you lend me a hundred guts, I don't dare, this matter is related to the dignity of the Three Poisons Sect, and it is what I Tao Zhiran requested." You and I have been friends for many years, if there is a need for the Three Poison Sects in the future, as long as it does not involve the interests of the entire Three Poison Sects, you say hello, and the Three Poisons Sects will be used by you. ”
"For my use, there is no interest involved, Sect Master Tao really thinks I am a fool?"
Tao Zhiran laughed: "This superficial polite remark still has to be said." The heavy mountain road alone is something I can't afford to offend. This kind of trading, no matter how you count it, is more profitable. You should be a poor old friend and do this. I'll be a cow and a horse for you, and you can sing and play the piano! ”
Yuan Huaisheng narrowed his eyes, waved his hand and simply refused. Singing and playing the piano is okay for others, but Tao Zhiran can't.
Speaking of which, the first time Tao Zhiran and Yuan Huaisheng met was also because of singing.
It was Tao Zhiran's first time in Yuanling, and he heard that Xicheng was unique in the world, Tao Zhiran was happy and lively, so he naturally didn't want to let it go.
So he drank and had fun, sang music, and scared away all the guests in the building, and Yuan Huaisheng was sitting next to Tao Zhiran at that time.
Hearing this tragic song, he directly crushed the cup, threw his shoes to block Tao Zhiran's mouth, and said in his heart: "It's extremely ugly, it makes people vomit." ”
