Chapter 4 Small Talk (2nd Update)
"Penglai Jade Branch?"
In the courtyard, Huiyin took a sip of hot tea, then raised his head and said: "Listening to the name, it reminds people of the Penglai Immortal Mountain above the East China Sea......
Ah Li on the side asked curiously: "That legendary Penglai Immortal Mountain?" Is that real? ”
Huiyin and Mo Wenyan both nodded.
Huiyin opened his mouth and said: "In history, Penglai Immortal Mountain is real. But now it doesn't exist anymore......"
While listening to Huiyin explain the ins and outs of Penglai Immortal Mountain to Ali, Mo chuckled and tasted the tea in the cup.
In fact, the reason why he knew about this was because he heard it from Huiyin when he was chatting with Huiyin in the past......
I have to say that for Bai Ze, who controls history and knowledge, there are really few past and truths in this world that she doesn't know. It can even be said that he himself has benefited a lot from this chat, and therefore has a deeper understanding and cognition of the past of this world......
After explaining to Ah Li, Hui Yin looked back at Mo Dao, "But why did you suddenly mention this?" Do you want to find this so-called 'Penglai Jade Branch'?
Mo shook his head, "No, it's not me who wants to find it, but someone else." ”
Ah Li tilted his head, "Could it be the head of the Fujiwara family who came to visit today?" ”
Seeing Mo nodded, Huiyin asked strangely, "What does he want this thing for?" Could it be that there is something special about this Penglai jade branch? ”
This shouldn't be, if it's really a treasure handed down from history, occupying a place in the long river of history, she should be able to know more or less about its existence.
But now it's the first time she's heard of it, which means that this Penglai jade branch is not a special thing in the past history. Just like the literal meaning, it's just a branch of a tree on Penglai Mountain.
What is the use of such branches, except that they are relatively rare because of their provenance?
Mo shook his head, "Hehe...... This Penglai jade branch itself should not have any special abilities. But it was a problem that someone else gave him......"
Hearing this, Huiyin smiled, "In this way, the person who asked the question didn't want people to achieve it." ”
"That's exactly the case, but I don't think he has any intention of giving up......", Mo shook his head, it's all like this, and he still refuses to retreat from the difficulties, and continues to entangle, I'm afraid that in the end he will only end up losing face. But anyway, he said everything that should be said, and it has nothing to do with him how the other party chooses.
"What the hell is going on?" , Ali couldn't help but ask curiously.
And Huiyin on the side also looked over, "I am also a little interested in this person who came up with such a problem." ”
Mo chuckled and shook his head, "When the other party said to me, he was also vague and evasive. But I also curiously ordered someone to inquire afterwards......"
"This matter has to start with an old man who cuts bamboo......
Once upon a time, there was an old man. He often went to the mountains to cut bamboo, make bamboo baskets, bamboo cages and other utensils, and sell them to others to make a living.
One day, he went to cut bamboo as usual. I saw a bright light shining from a bamboo pole. He felt strange, and when he got closer, there was light coming out of the bamboo tube. After cutting out the polished bamboo knots, there was a delicate little girl about three inches long, who lived in it.
The old man took the girl home and raised her with his wife. And the girl is like a bamboo shoot that grows into a bamboo, and after three months, she has grown into a girl. At the same time, the child grew more and more beautiful, so that the house was full of light, and there was no darkness, so he named Kaguyahime......
After Kaguyahime's reputation spread all over the world, there were many suitors. But most of them gradually gave up after hitting a wall, and only the last five people remained begging and pleading.
In the end, Kaguya gave the five of them a difficult question, agreeing that whoever could reach it first would marry them.
Swallow Amber, Penglai jade branch, Buddha front stone bowl, fire rat fur, dragon neck jade...... These are the five strange things that Kaguya Ji proposed, and they are also the five problems that were handed over to them.
And the one who came to visit today was one of these five people, the head of the Fujiwara family.
Because the other party had a friendship with Mo's father, Mo also received the other party. And the other party's purpose is also very simple, that is, he wants to ask for help from the power of ink to see if he can get this legendary treasure.
As for the results, it is also obvious......
After listening to the whole thing, Huiyin shook her head and smiled:
"Hehe, among these few strange things, unless the Penglai jade branch was taken out from Penglai Immortal Mountain thousands of years ago, it is absolutely impossible now. As for the jade of the dragon's neck, hehe, let's not talk about whether you can find the legendary divine dragon, even if you really find it, with the power of mortals, how can you get it? ”
"As for the swallow Ambei, the stone bowl in front of the Buddha, and the fur of the fire rat, these are all strange things that can be encountered but cannot be sought. It's not necessarily that precious, but it takes a lot of luck to get it. Or to put it another way, it takes enough fate. ”
"That Kaguya made such a request, but she was just refusing it in another way. Can't these people understand this kind of thing? ”
Mo shook his head, "It's not that I can't understand it, but it's just that I'm unwilling." And I can't say that they will try their best to get fake things in order to get by......"
"If that's the case, they're just going to lose face. can ask such a problem, how can a person with such a vision be deceived by a mere fake......", obviously, Huiyin is not optimistic about the final fate of these people.
"But if that's the case, they're to blame." , After listening to the whole thing, Huiyin's perception of these people is obviously not very good: "I know that the other party is not mortal, but because of all kinds of selfishness, I want to be vain, heh......"
Huiyin turned her head to look at Ah Li, and when she saw her look of contemplation, she asked, "Ah Li, what's wrong?" Is there anything you care about? ”
"Huh?" , Ah Li raised his head, then shook his head again and said, "No, it's actually nothing, I'm just a little curious, how beautiful is that Kaguya?" can make so many people unforgettable, even at the cost of moths to the fire. ”
Forehead...... Huiyin and Mo were stunned for a moment, and then they both burst out laughing.
Mo shook his head and smiled, "That's a good question. When you say that, I'm a little curious about what this Kaguya looks like......"
"Well, why don't we pay a visit?" , Huiyin suggested with a smile.
"Hey, is that okay?" Ah Li turned his head to look at Mo.
"What's wrong with this......", Mo smiled and shook his head, "It's just another matter whether the other party is willing to see each other or not......"
"That ......"
"It's just a long-lost outing, as for whether you can see each other, everything depends on fate......"
In this way, about tomorrow's itinerary, it was decided. The three of them went to visit the legendary Kaguya-hime......
…… To be continued......
(PS: If you don't know Kaguyahime's children's shoes, you can go to see Taketori Monogatari.) But I think you should all know about coming in because of the Oriental fandom 2333)
