(7) Dripping blood Bodhisattva

The head of the city is fierce battles and brutal battles;

In the lake is the melodious sound of flutes and innocent laughter;

The distance between the same Wanqiu region is only ninety miles, but there is a regional heavenly difference.

The boys and girls on the bamboo raft will surely mature in this tempering of blood and fire;

In the ever-changing world of Jiuzhou, welcome the baptism of fate and achieve an extraordinary life.

"Sister Yue, look!"

Xuanyuan Xing on the bamboo raft looked at the sky and exclaimed loudly.

Yan Yue and Lu Zisong looked at the same time in the direction that Xuanyuan Xing was pointing.

You can vaguely see a large flock of birds, flying fast at a high altitude of about ten miles away.

Because the distance was too far, they could only see a large area of black pressing, and they couldn't identify it at all, it was the Flying Bird Silver Armor Army led by General Gao Qing of Lanling.

Although nearly one-third of the losses in the battle of Wanqiu were lost, more than 2,000 birds crossed the sky, which was still spectacular.

"Little uncle, is that Uncle Heng's army? Could it be that they have come back from Luoshen Peak?"

Yu Yue was also surprised.

"It's not Daddy's troops!"

Regulus's tone was affirmative.

"Daddy's bird army never flies next to each other, they will be divided into several groups, there are three echelons in the front, middle and back, and the march is arranged according to the upper, middle and lower levels, and there are many single or double flying generals around the queue, Daddy said that this is called strategy. Besides, it's not flying in the right direction!"

Xuanyuan Xing has loved to read military books since he was a child, and often listens to Xuanyuan Heng and his generals talking about military formations, and quickly denied Yu Yue's speculation.

"Xing'er is right, they are heading in the direction of Luoshen Peak, if the prince returns to the city, it should be the opposite direction. ”

Lu Zisong was also full of doubts. "As far as I know, Wanqiu City's bird army has been all dispatched, they shouldn't be Xuanyuan's army, are they ······?"

At this time, the air team was far away, and only black dots the size of rice grains could be seen.

The navy-blue flying bird gliding quickly at the end of the lotus leaf interrupted Lu Zisong's thoughts.

"Xing'er, Yue'er, you found a good place, and you didn't call me!"

But in the blink of an eye, the navy blue bird was already hovering over the bamboo raft.

The breeze with its wings flapping blows up layers of waves on the surface of the lake.

The woman standing on the back of the bird has slender eyebrows, lightly drawn into the temples, and her eyes are like pearls, like water and tender.

Although he is slightly thin, his chest is convex and his hips are curvy, and his curves are perfect.

The clothes are similar to those of the moon, and the short tops and skirts are hand-sewn with silk threads of different colors to form a patch of fabric of different colors, which is very exotic.

She is the beautiful woman Susu next to Gongsun Eying before the Wanqiu War.

Entrusted by Gongsun Eying, she came here to pick up Xuanyuan Xing and others back to the city, and her spirit beast mount was named Blue Bird, which was famous in Jiuzhou for its gorgeous dark blue feathers and extremely fast speed.

The bluebird is a mild type of spirit animal, herbivorous and insectivore, not aggressive, but flying faster than swifts.

If no one sits on it, it can fly at full strength, and it can reach 300 kilometers in half an hour.

"Auntie, you're here too!"

Yu Yue jumped to say hello.

"Aunt Susu, is there something wrong with our Wanqiu City?

The smart Xuanyuan Xing thought the same as Lu Zisong, worried that the troops just now were likely to pass through Wanqiu, and it was more likely that they would raid Wanqiu.

"Aunt Susu, Aunt Susu, you kid, you have said that you can be the same as Yue'er, call me aunt, anyway, we are all the same ······"

Su Su suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she didn't finish her words, and avoided the topic with a smile.

"Your mother is fine, but your father told me to take good care of your mother, she has something to do, how dare I run away. I'm here to see your Uncle Lu to discuss some things in the clan. ”

Su Su knew that Xuanyuan Star was eccentric, and she didn't want him to see through it, so she hurriedly gave Lu Zisong a look.

"Yes, Xing'er and Yue'er, you play by yourself, and I'll discuss some things with your aunt. The ship is also going to dock, and we will return to Wanqiu in a while!"

Lu Zisong knew that there was a change in the city, and after tacitly taking over the conversation, he flew lightly to the stone bridge not far ahead.

Su Su deliberately made a relaxed appearance to the two children, smiled and nodded, and then fell to the bridge.

Xuanyuan Xing is indeed smart and quick-witted, after all, he is only a ten-year-old child, and after listening to Su Susu's words, he quickly dispelled his doubts and had fun again.

"How's Wanqiu doing?"

Lu Zisong had already seen the clue, and he didn't go around the corner, took Su Su's hand, and asked eagerly.

"Brother Lu, rest assured, Lanling's 50,000 troops have retreated, and Wanqiu is safe and sound!"

Su Su described Wanqiu's battle situation in detail, and Lu Zisong was amazed when he heard it.

While Su Su and Lu Zisong were talking, the two children on the bamboo raft were also having fun.

They sat on bamboo rafts, barefooted, and slapped the water to their heart's content, splashing all over their bodies and faces, and the sound of cheerful laughter echoed through the mountains.

"Xing'er, let's give this lake a name! ”

Yu Yue looked at the endless lotus flowers, pouted, thoughtful.

"What's the name, Sister Yue?"

Xuanyuan Xing scratched his cheeks and scratched his head, and followed Yue'er to think, there was something wrong.

"Then let's call it 'Xingyue Lake'!"

Yue'er's big eyes flashed, and she clapped her hands and smiled.

"There is a 'Jingyue Lake' in my clan, and the scenery is also very beautiful; there is a 'star' in your name, and I have a 'moon'; so it's called 'Xingyue Lake'. ”

"Good name! Good name!" 'Xingyue Lake' is the lake of Xing'er and Sister Yue'er, and every time I celebrate my birthday in June, I invite Sister Yue to come here to row boats and see lotus flowers, and I will play the best flute music for Sister Yue!"

Xuanyuan Xing danced happily.

Yu Yue took off a necklace from her neck and stared at Xuanyuan Xing's handsome face.

"Xing'er, Sister Yue gave this to you as a gift for your tenth birthday. ”

Xuanyuan Xing curiously took the object in Yue'er's hand and looked at it carefully.

I saw that on the chain woven with purple silk threads, there was a warm jade like a green leaf, and a thumb-sized crimson gemstone was inlaid in the middle of the jadeite jade.

The most peculiar thing is that the red gemstone is not connected to the jadeite jade, as if there is some kind of magical power that levitates the ruby in the center of the jadeite.

It's like a bright red dew on a green leaf.

"Wow!"

Xing'er was dumbfounded, delighted, and surprised.

"Sister Yue, what a beautiful gemstone necklace, this glowing gem hangs in the middle, it won't fall off!"

"Come, Sister Yue will bring it to Xing'er. ”

Yu Yue carefully and solemnly tied the necklace.

"This is called 'Dripping Blood Bodhisattva', the most precious gem of our Miao Sang clan, I picked it when I was six years old, and it is the only one in the whole of Jiuzhou, and my brother Xing'er has to carry it all the time. ”

Yu Yue's tone was serious, and she put on a serious look.

"Sister Yue, I promise, I will always carry this 'Blood Bodhisattva'. ”

Xuanyuan Xing didn't know what was so strange about this blood ruby, but from the eyes of Yu Yue, he understood how valuable this gift was.

He also felt how much she cared.

"I was originally going to give it to you tonight when I celebrated my birthday, but I don't know when Uncle Heng and they will come back, it's too late, and there are so many people, I'm afraid I'll forget it." ”

Yan Yue rubbed the "Blood Bodhisattva" on Xing'er's neck with her hand, and continued: "You see, the jade and jade around this Blood Bodhisattva were polished by my own hands according to the shape of the leaves of our Bodhisattva tree not long ago. I am still pestering my father to use the yuan power to refine, in which to open the space-time realm, which can be used as a storage device, there is only a space for a hundred, if you cultivate in the future, you can continue to expand its capacity. ”

Xuanyuan Xing's mouth opened wide in surprise and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"And whatever!"

Looking at Xing'er's stunned appearance, Yue'er pursed her lips and chuckled.

"Xing'er, you haven't noticed it yet! inside this leaf-shaped jadeite, there is also a purple auspicious knot. ”

Xing'er's eyes widened, and she looked carefully at the place where Yue'er was fingering.

"Really, really! I thought it was the texture of the jade itself!"

"I knit the auspicious knot with ten of my own hair, but it took a lot of effort to quench it. Because the blood-dripping Bodhisattva only has a sense with me, so dipping my hair in the jade will produce the power of sensing and summoning with the Bodhisattva in the middle, so yes, he won't fall off, so you don't have to worry. And, as long as you carry it, I can sense my little brother Xing'er even from a long distance. ”

After listening to Yue'er's explanation, Xuanyuan Xing was silent, and just pressed the blood Bodhisattva tightly to his chest.

A burst of warmth welled up in his heart, and at the same time, he also had a belief: he would carry this magical necklace for the rest of his life, and protect it from the slightest damage.

"Yue'er, she ......"

Yue'er's actions were seen by his little uncle Lu Zisong, and he was about to stop it, but he was dragged back by Su Susu.

"Su Su, you see, Yue'er seems to have given the blood Bodhisattva to Xing'er, how is this good!"

Lu Zisong was a little worried.

Su Su naturally knew that this "Blood Bodhisattva" was a rare treasure, and it was a divine elixir that people in Jiuzhou had dreamed of.

She naturally knew what it meant to the Miao Sang clan as a sacred artifact.

But she knew that this was her own choice and decision.

"Brother Lu. ”

Su Su looked at Lu Zisong affectionately.

"The Bosang tree of our Miao Sang tribe 'blooms once every ten years, blooms for a hundred years, bears thousands of seeds in a hundred years, and one of them is a divine product', and this 'one' is said that in addition to the nine hundred and ninety-nine purple Bodhisattva seeds, this red 'blood Bodhisattva seed'. Legend has it that it is invulnerable, can bring the dead back to life, and can allow cultivators to instantly improve their Yuan Force cultivation for more than ten years, however, these are the legends of the ancestors in the clan!"

Lu Zisong looked at Su Su with a serious look, did not argue, just nodded silently.

"You also know that our Miaosang clan respects the mother's family, and the children all follow the mother's surname, and in the eyes of foreign people, our Miaosang women are very strong, but Brother Lu, others don't know, but you know very well that the women of our Miaosang tribe are loyal and affectionate to men, as long as they identify the person in their hearts, they will give him everything they have, even if it is their own life!"

At this point, Su Su's voice began to tremble and choke, and her eyes were filled with tears.

Lu Zisong hugged Su Su's thin waist tightly at this time, stroked her long soft hair, and sighed deeply.

He understands very well that it is precisely because of Su Su's simplicity and warmth, and because of Su Su's steadfastness and persistence in love, that they broke through many barriers and relied on each other today.

Su Su adjusted her mood, leaned on Lu Zisong's shoulder, and smiled at the two children on the lake.

"Although Yue'er is not yet thirteen years old, she already has the thoughts of her daughter's family, and as her aunt, I know best. The blood Bodhisattva is a sacred relic of my Miao Sang clan, but only Yue'er can get it, and she has been wearing it on her for more than six years. We should only respect her choice and support her decision, even if the chief's sister is here, she will probably agree. ”

"Okay, good, good! I just want to say hello to the children, look at you, a bunch of big truths, as if I was a wicked person who beats mandarin ducks. ”

Lu Zisong prevaricated with a smile and quickly changed the topic.

"By the way, Su Su, when Wanqiu was fighting, did you make a move?"

"That's not true, Madam is worried about Xing'er, she told me to leave before the war, but I still don't feel at ease, I stayed in the back mountain for a while, and when I saw that the battle was decided, I came to look for you. It is not early in the morning, and we should go back, so as not to worry Madame. ”

Su Su looked at the moon and stars frolicking in the lake, full of relief.

"Madame called you here before the war?"

After listening to Su Su's words, Lu Zisong hurriedly asked.

Madame also specially instructed me to take a detour to the back mountain, otherwise Wanqiu is less than a hundred miles away from here, and at my speed, I would have already arrived here. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Su Su didn't understand.

"Madame is not afraid of danger, the war is imminent, but her mind is so meticulous, she is worthy of the name of a talented woman. ”

Lu Zisong sighed and continued: "I see that Madame called you here, not only to take Xing'er back to the city, but I am afraid that Wanqiu will not be able to protect and it will be difficult for me to get out, so I will ask Xing'er to us, she knows that you and I spirit beasts fly very fast, if you encounter a strong enemy, although you can't win, but there is no problem to retreat with the children." ”

"I see, no wonder ······"

Su Su listened to Lu Zisong's explanation and nodded again and again.

"That's not all, my stupid Susu, even if there is no such danger, Madam will not let you interfere, the battle of Wanqiu. ”

Lu Zisong pulled Su Su to sit on the railing of the stone bridge, and continued with a smile. "Susu, don't forget, you are the elder of our Miao Sang clan, if the Lanling army finds out that you help Xuanyuan, no matter what the victory or defeat of this siege is, then the Lanling army will inevitably hold a grudge and burn the war to my Miao Sang, Madame is already disgusted with battlefield fighting, and also knows that our Miao Sang has not participated in the struggle between various ethnic countries for many years, and has always remained neutral, how can she hope to harm the innocent Miao Sang people because of your participation. ”

"Oh! Madame is really well-intentioned. ”

Su Su's admiration is beyond words. "It seems that my sister asked me to come to Wanqiu to talk to Mrs. Wang Ye about Xing'er and Yue'er, and I came to the right place. ”

"Yes! Our Miao Sang people do not rely on force to prosper the country, the tribe to silkworm handicraft, jade mining industry, so abundant food and clothing, the treasury is abundant, in the Jiuzhou nationality is the richest, coveted people are not a few, if you want to long-term stability, marriage is also a helpless move, I originally did not agree very much, but as far as today's events are concerned, I have to admire the vision of the chief's sister, I only hope that Xing'er Yue'er will live up to our intentions. ”

Lu Zisong sighed a lot.

"Alright! Alright! Nag, you think too much, think too far. Nag again and the sun is setting!"

Su Su was full of joy, pulled Lu Zisong, walked down the stone bridge together, and then shouted in the direction of the bamboo raft: "Children, it's not too early, it's time to go back!"

Lu Zisong also smiled and beckoned.

When the two children heard the cry of the concubine, they got up and prepared to go ashore.

At this time, Xing'er coldly put her lips on Yue'er's pink cheeks and kissed them gently.

Then he flew up in the air with Yue'er's steps and ran towards the stone bridge.

The sudden kiss made Yu Yue's cheeks suddenly smeared with crimson.

"Sister Yue, when I grow up, I will definitely marry you as my wife. ”

When Xuanyuan Star leaped, he turned back and shouted to the moon.

"Okay, you Xuanyuan Xing, stop for me, you not only steal my 'Phantom Streamer', but also bully me, I'm your sister Yue!"

The shy face of the concubine, with a swollen face, followed closely.

"Sister Yue, you know that I can't forget it! This month, you have often practiced 'lame cat walking' in front of my eyes, and I have already learned it!"

Looking at Xuanyuan Xing's agile pace on the lake, Yu Susu's face was full of astonishment, and she silently thought in her heart: "Yue'er began to cultivate 'Phantom Streamer' at the age of eleven, and broke through the first realm 'Chasing the Wind' in one year, and has initially dabbled in the second realm 'Stasis', which is already a rare genius, and now, Xing'er has learned the essentials of 'Chasing the Wind' in less than a month without opening the cultivation of the Yuan, and the future creation is unlimited, but Mrs. Eying does not like to kill, nor has she ever taught Xing'er the method of cultivating the Yuan, it is really a pity!"

While Su Su was pondering, Xing'er had already flown to the shore and hid behind her.

"Aunt Susu...... Youngest maternal aunt...... Help me!"

"I don't care, who told you to bully Yue'er. ”

Susu deliberately makes it bad.

"Xing'er doesn't dare to bully her, I want to marry Sister Yue'er when I grow up. Xing'er knows that Aunt Su Su and Uncle Zisong came to Wanqiu this time to give us an engagement!"

The Xuanyuan star people are big ghosts, and they said seriously.

After Su Su and Lu Zisong heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

"What kind of marriage is engaged, you are just bullying me, see if I don't kick your little ass!"

Yu Yue also flew ashore and kicked Xuanyuan Star again.

"Save the star, save the star, auntie, Uncle Zisong......"

There was another burst of fighting and laughter on Xingyue Lake.
