Section 13 Dream of Cloud Mountain (Part II)

Yunshan is worthy of being a holy place for herb picking, following the mountain road, all the way are all kinds of herbs, the little brother introduced this and that with great interest, Yang Ying listened carefully, and he also grabbed a handful, and he almost took a back basket to be a medicine boy. Yao Jin used to have nothing to do in order to exercise and would climb Liuzhou's Lingshan, most of the day up and down is not a problem, this Yunshan mountain road is gentle, and they take the wide road that many people have stepped on, which is naturally very easy for her. Along the way, everywhere he looked was lush and green, Yao Jin felt that his eyes were much more relaxed, and pulled Long Wan and said: "I heard that there are many mountains in that Fujian country, so let's go climb the mountains if we have nothing to do in the future." ”

But listening to the fierce Murong Jing, the capital of the Fujian Kingdom, Da Ori, has no mountains, but there are very tall coconut trees everywhere. ”

"That's not bad, let's climb the tree and play, and see who climbs high!" Yao Jin teased Yang Ying seriously, and she stammered in fright: "Listen, I heard that the tree is straight and high, weird, strange and scary, Your Highness, Yang Ying can't climb trees......"

"No, no, you have to, otherwise I will let Murong Jing throw you to the canopy, he will definitely be happy. ”

"Your Highness, don't!"

"Then you don't usually treat people well?"

"He's always fierce, and he won't talk well, I, I'm ......"

A few people talked and laughed, and walked for half an hour, the little brother of the pharmacy pointed to a gazebo not far away and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, please see, that is Qiongju Pavilion!"

"Qiong Juting, why is it called that?"

"Returning to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the name of this pavilion does have a legend. Legend has it that many years ago, there was a medicine master who went to the mountains to collect medicine, accidentally was bitten by a poisonous snake to rest in this pavilion, only because the snake venom attacked the heart, there was no herb around that could cure the poison, the old gentleman's consciousness gradually declined, just at the time of life and death, there was a fairy child in Tsing Yi who did not know where to feed the old gentleman an elixir, which not only solved the old man's snake venom, but also made him rejuvenate and become a young man. The young man asked the fairy boy why he saved himself, and the fairy boy said, many years ago, when he had not yet cultivated into an immortal, it was just a green bamboo in the mountain, and someone wanted to cut it down on him, and the old gentleman who was young at that time happened to pass by, so he stepped forward to dissuade him, and also took out the silver taels to the person who cut it, asking him not to cut down the green bamboo, so he had this act of repaying his kindness. The young man said that when I saw you, I was green and lovely, and I couldn't bear to be cut down, even if I rescued you, the merit was really small, and today you not only saved my life, but also rejuvenated me, and lived for several more decades, which is really my great benefactor. However, Xiantong waved his hand and said, when you voted for me with papaya, today I should repay it with Qiongju, hoping that in your extra decades of life, you can cast thousands of more papayas, and you will harvest more Qiongju in the future. ”

"So, this place is called Qiongju Pavilion?" Yao Jin stopped, feeling that although this legend was old-fashioned, the meaning was still good, and she looked in the direction of the pavilion, which happened to be built in a place with a wide view, and in front of it was a quiet and empty valley. Yao Jin's expression was a little detached, and after a moment of silence, she said to the little brother: "Brother Lao is here to guard for me, I want to go to the pavilion to sit and meditate." ”

"Yes. ”

Yang Ying and Long Wan glanced at each other, they both wanted to follow but didn't dare to speak, seeing that the master had walked slowly for a while, Yang Ying was almost about to speak, and Yao Jin suddenly said loudly: "Wan'er, Yang Ying, you also come." ”

"Yes!" the two replied in unison, and hurriedly trotted to follow.

When the three of them walked to the pavilion, they felt that the pavilion itself was built simply, and there were no characteristics, but the location was excellent. People walk to the pavilion, just face a valley in the mountains, because they have not yet reached a very high place, lean down to look down, a thin few clouds and mist disperse, a piece of emerald green color, faintly there is a dingdong dong mountain spring water flowing sound, even the air is sweet, occasionally a few kingfishers flutter by, make a crisp call, make people feel comfortable, refreshed.

"It's really a good place here, and the pharmacy guy didn't lie to us. Yang Ying helped Yao Jin take two steps, and carefully laid a handkerchief on the stone bench soaked in moisture, "Your Highness has been walking for a while, why don't you sit down and rest for a while." ”

Yao Jin smiled and shook his head, "I didn't call you two up to let you serve me. ”

"Does Your Highness have anything to tell the slaves and maids?" Long Wan turned to look at the pharmacy brother in the distance, who was sitting honestly on the side of the path, and it should be impossible to hear the conversation in the pavilion above.

"Just now, that little brother told a story of 'vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju', and now, I also want to tell you a story. ”

Long Wan saw that Yao Jin's expression was a little solemn, and she knew that it was not a trivial matter, so she hurriedly pulled Yang Ying, who was still stunned, and the two knelt down together, "Slaves and maids listen to each other." ”

"It is also said that in the past, in a far, far away place, where there is perennial snow, there are continuous snow-capped mountains, people think that there will be no people living in such a place, so no matter how the outside world kills and fights, no one has ever been to that snow-capped mountain, and no one knows, beyond that snow-capped mountain, it is a plain, with warm lakes and dense jungles, there is a tribe that has lived there for generations, they never interact with the outside world, life is self-sufficient, free, this tribe, called the Snow Tribe. ”

"The men of the Snow Tribe, who are brave and good at war, are good at crafting all kinds of weapons and tools, hunting prey in the forests, hunting white bears and grizzly bears in the snowy mountains, and obtaining beautiful and warm bear skins, and the women of the Snow Clan, each of whom has the most beautiful face in the world, who is skillful in singing and dancing, and who loves their homes and children very much—the most beautiful and intelligent among them is the only daughter of the chief, whose name is Zhen Ji. ”

Hearing the word "Zhen Ji", Long Wan and Yang Ying both raised their heads in surprise, looking at Yao Jin's still faint face, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, the story has just begun." ”

"Zhen Ji, as the daughter of the chief, has been engaged to marry since she was a child, her fiancé is the most handsome and brave young man in the entire snow clan, he will go to the continuous snow mountains every year to look for the precious snow lotus, the snow lotus only blooms once a year, one flower only blooms for one day, every year he will find it, and send it to Zhen Ji when the snow lotus is in full bloom. But Zhen Ji gradually grew up, and gradually she no longer liked Snow Lotus, she wanted to go to the world outside the snow mountain to see, of course, her father and her people did not allow it. So one year, she begged her fiancé to take her to look for Snow Lotus, and then on the snowy mountain, she quietly escaped alone. ”
