16. Chapter 16
"Why would you call it that?" She gently stroked the texture of the jade, feeling the warmth creeping into her body, and there was an indescribable comfort.
"The girl doesn't know." The shopkeeper looked at the jade in Mo Lan's hand, and there was a hint of mystery in his eyes. "There is a legend about this piece of jade."
"Oh?" Mo Lan looked at him with some curiosity, "What legend?" ”
"Legend has it that there is a fairy in the divine realm named Snow Dance. Snow Dance loves to dance, and her dancing is as beautiful and light as silver snow, but she never dances easily, because whenever she dances, it snows heavily. A snow dance went down to the world to play privately, and when passing through a field of daylilies and flowers, he was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery and couldn't help but dance among the flowers. Snowing in June, drunken dancing among the fairy flowers, will there be a more beautiful scene in the world? When the shopkeeper said this, his eyes were covered with a layer of intoxication, as if he was telling an eager fascination.
"And then?" Zheng'er couldn't help but interject and asked.
"Later......" the shopkeeper retracted his longing gaze and continued, "Later, such a picture fell into the eyes of Shen Ge, the world's number one qinist, and Shen Ge was amazed by the beautiful dancing, and immediately composed a song to accompany the snow dance. ”
"Are they in love?" Mo Lan asked softly. She seems to see that in the distant time and space, the song of the white-clothed Shengxue and the snow dance of the country and the city, one is the hook string pluck, the clouds and the flowing water, and the beams are endless; One is the flower waist dance, like a frightening dragon.
"Yes, they are in love."
"They must be happy." She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, imagining the mood when they met each other, it should be the heartbeat when they suddenly looked back in the vast sea of people, and met the right person's eyes, right?
"They're happy." The shopkeeper nodded, "They have walked through many places, enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the world, and left their piano music and dancing postures everywhere they went, conveying their deep affection to each other in the heavy snow." ”
Mo Lan narrowed his somewhat hazy eyes, such a picture was too beautiful and too far away for people to touch, and they could only rely on their imagination to draw their outlines.
"It's a pity that the things that are more beautiful are often shorter." The shopkeeper sighed faintly, "Snow Dance has already violated the rules of heaven when she falls in love with mortals, and she is becoming more and more obsessed with dancing to the sound of Shen Ge, but their warmth has brought a terrible snow disaster to the world. In a fit of rage, the Emperor of Heaven captured Xue Wu back to the Divine Realm and locked him in the Snow Palace. Shen Ge fought against the sky, and in the end only ended up in ashes, Xue Wu exhausted his immortal power and escaped from the Snow Palace, but what he saw was the last wisp of Shen Ge's soul that was about to dissipate, and the warm jade he wore in the chaotic grass. ”
"This is this jade?" Mo Lan lowered his eyebrows and looked at the "Blood Dance" in his hand, it turned out to be Shen Ge's Peiyu.
"Not bad." The shopkeeper responded. Xue Wu took the singing Peiyu back to the Snow Palace, and washed her face with tears in front of Nuan Yu all day long, and there has never been a single snow in the world. And that piece of jade has a spirituality under the watering of her tears, and whenever she misses Shen Song deeply, even the jade will shed tears. Later, when Xue Wu's tears were gone, she began to raise jade with blood. ”
"Raising jade with blood?" Mo Lan looked up in confusion.
"Yes, raise jade with blood." The shopkeeper looked at her solemnly, "She believes that there is the soul of Shen Ge in the warm jade, so she uses her own blood to conceive it, every time a bloodline is broken, the jade body is a little more dark red, and in the long run, the warm jade that was originally just a pale green has become what it is now." ”
Mo Lan trembled in surprise, those dark red star patterns were actually embellished by the countless bloodlines of the Snow Dance?
After Xue Wu died, this piece of jade fell to the world, and legends about it have spread ever since. Legend has it that when someone touched this piece of jade, they would see dark red stars dancing in blood, and the name "Blood Dance" may come from this. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he fell silent. When no one spoke anymore, the small store was a little quiet.
