Chapter 112: Snow Lotus
Su Qiang hesitated for a long time and decided to follow the deepest footprints to the mountain, rather than following the similar deepest footprints to the bottom of the cliff. Although, on the mountain and under the cliff, it is possible to see snow lotus.
"Ah Zhuang, you will definitely choose the snow lotus on the mountain, not only because you can look far away from there, but also because the higher the place, the more beautiful the snow lotus blooms! If it were me, I would also take the woman I liked to see the most beautiful snow lotus!" Su Qiang muttered, and walked along the footprints one foot at a time, "Look at this footprint is very deep, it must be Ah Zhuang who sees Man'er walking slowly, and is reluctant to let Man'er's feet get wet and get frozen, so he carries her on his back." Well, the reason is completely reasonable. ”
"Today is exactly the fifteenth full moon day, and the snow lotus flowers bloom the most beautifully! At this hour, I have also seen the snow lotus, it is time to come down, right?!" Su Qiang stretched his neck as he walked, watching the footprints meandering over the hillside, extending towards the pine and cypress bushes, until the end was blocked by a huge thousand-year-old pine and cypress, and he couldn't help but itch the root of his teeth: "Ah Zhuang, this simple person! It's unreliable to do things, it's dark, and it's dangerous in the wild! And he took a girl to run all over the mountain, what a guy who doesn't let me worry!"
The footprints meandered long along the hillside and into the pine and cypress trees. This piece of primitive forest is unusually dense, and the pines and cypresses that were originally green and clumped in green were covered by snow at this time and turned into pure white, and the sky and earth were all silver white.
"Gua Wazi! Running in this corner, although there are fewer wild beasts here, the terrain is high, and it is cold! It is still very difficult to climb!" Su Qiang shook his head, gritted his teeth and climbed up, and scolded in a low voice, "Climbing such a steep mountain with a person on your back, Ah Zhuang, you Gua Wazi, aren't you afraid of being tired and panicking?"
The hillside is neatly covered with pines and cypresses, and the pines and cypresses stand straight in the cold wind. When you get closer, you can see that on the needles on the branches, there are some small snowballs like white cotton peaches hanging evenly, and when the wind blows, they tremble and tremble, as if they are nodding their heads meekly.
"I'm cold to death! Su Zhuang, you stupid baby! At this time, you are still staying in this ice and snow with the girl! Look back, you don't scare people away, I don't have the surname Su!" Su Qiang finally climbed up the hill, wrapped the deerskin jacket on his body, and began to look around with his neck cursive and scolding.
The hill was high and sharp, and on the top of the hill the size of three or four basketball courts, it didn't take long for Su Qiang to walk all over, and he didn't see a single figure.
Su Qiang did not give up, climbed the rock to the highest point of the hill, the top of the rock was so windy that people could not stand upright, Su Qiang bent on his waist, probed his head to look at it and immediately squatted down, his fingers clutched the rock, just afraid that he would be blown away by the cold wind if he was not careful.
From a high place, the snow-covered cedars and cypresses stretch endlessly, winding around Sujiazhuang, like a majestic silver dragon, entrenched in the valley, guarding the ruins of the ancient city shaped like dragon balls.
The moon began to rise slowly, and from the angle of Su Qiang's stomach, the dragon was plated with a layer of silver by the moonlight, which made it even more concave and three-dimensional. The moon gradually rises and the moon shines brighter. The snow on the pines and cypresses reflected the moonlight, like the silver-white scales on the dragon's body, shining brightly. At this time, the giant dragon seemed to have all its beards and claws, both form and spirit, and it was as vivid as if it was about to rise into the air between Su Qiang's breaths.
"My mother-in-law!" Su Qiang only felt that the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, "Didn't my eyes collide with unclean things, and I actually saw a dragon!?"
Sujiazhuang has been passed down from generation to generation, and there is a dragon who has been punished here to guard the treasures of the gods, and the treasures of the gods protect the peace of this side of the water and soil. Dragons can't see humans, and humans can't see dragons, and they've coexisted peacefully for thousands of years. If one day this balance is upset and someone sees the dragon, it will anger the gods, and the land and water will be turned upside down, and life will be destroyed. It is necessary to raise the dragon with the soul of the person who saw it, so that the world can be peaceful.
"I'm a sign that my little life is going to be lost, right?!I saw the dragon, but I can't be reincarnated if I die! I have to dedicate my soul to the dragon as a slave!" Su Qiang muttered to himself, and the whole person fell down and collapsed on the rock, covering his eyes with one hand trembling, and not forgetting to firmly grasp the edges and corners of the rock with the other hand.
His jaw was grinding against the rough rocks in severe pain, which was unbearable, and Su Qiang subconsciously glanced through the gap between his fingers, and was stunned for a moment. In the crack of this rock, there is a flash of light, it is a light!
One, two, three, four! It is the familiar one that has been lit up and extinguished four times in a row! This is the code of agreement between himself and his younger brother Su Zhuang, and the code of needing to save his life! Su Zhuang has an accident!
Su Qiang suddenly became more courageous, no longer paying attention to the silver-white dragon that was snaking and breathing with mist under his feet, and carefully examined the huge stone under him.
Unobtrusively, at an angular leeward place, Su Qiang saw a cluster of pure white snow lotus flowers in full bloom, and the crystal clear flowers in the moonlight were thrillingly beautiful. On the raised stone edges of the flowers, there is a faintly stuck strip of torn cloth.
Su Qiang stared deeply, the strip of cloth was the color of Su Zhuang's clothes! There, it must be the entrance that Su Zhuang would fall under the stone!
Su Qiang untied the cowhide string that never left his body and braided a wide belt, skillfully untied the noodle-like thin strips of cowhide one by one, and then re-knitted it. In the blink of an eye, the thick cowhide belt turned into a thin, long rope.
This extremely resilient belt making process is a secret of the Su family's tiger hunters, and it is only passed down from father to son and son from generation to generation, and it usually looks inconspicuous, but it has a huge effect when needed.
Su Qiang tied the rope firmly to the edges and corners of the boulder and tied it in a knot. So that he can go down to the snow lotus and take the rope back.
Su Qiang began to fall steadily, stepping on the edges and corners of the rock, and descending step by step to the depression of the snow lotus. At this time, the full moon protrudes from the clouds, and the moon suddenly brightens, and the snow glows with a cold green light.
The jade-like snow lotus is soft and colorful, white and crystalline; The waterlily-like petals were as thin as silk yarn, pure and white, flowing in the rippling moonlight, elegantly erect.
Its flowers look extremely delicate, and they can be destroyed and destroyed in a breath, but they can ignore the snowstorm and storm and bloom on their own, calmly showing their unique magical charm.
In this strange cold and supreme environment close to the heavenly realm, it grows and blooms, like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, stepping on the snow and standing here without a trace, condescendingly accepting the worship of all things in the world, silently and silently dark incense veins.
This is the legendary Snow Lotus King, the Snow Lotus of the Bright Moon! It silently sways with rare holiness, and its beauty is breathtaking.
