Chapter 19: Shenmu - The Girl's Heart Moves
The girl named Mantianxing doesn't look very old, but according to Man'er, she is the eldest sister of the clan, and she is deeply loved by the children of the clan, and she is full of curiosity about the world outside the Shenmu Forest, and always wants to go out for adventures, but she has never practiced martial arts, and the patriarch is afraid that she will encounter danger when she goes out, so he does not agree.
"Sister Xing, these two young heroes came from the fairy of love and came here to visit my sister."
"In that case, please come in, thank you."
"Sister is polite, I'll go first."
"Okay."
All the houses in the Divine Wood Forest are not very large, only the Divine Wood House where the patriarch Wu Kuihu is located is slightly more spacious, it is located at the intersection of all the branches, has a solid foundation, and is naturally built larger.
The furnishings in the room are all wooden, and in addition to the abundant aura, there is also a faint medicinal fragrance.
"May I ask the girl, is there a medicine hall around here?"
"Yes, it's not far ahead."
"No wonder, there is a smell of herbs in this room."
"The Shenmu clan has some research on poison, which is also part of the mental method practiced by Shenmu's disciples."
The star girl brought some snacks made by herself, and went to fetch clear spring water, and found the tea that had been stored for many years from the cupboard, and when the water boiled, the aroma of the tea wafted out, and it was a very refreshing taste.
"The love fairy asked the two young heroes to come, presumably for the sake of that notebook."
"Exactly."
"Actually, I don't know much about the story of the Shenmu Clan, but I heard some from the old people in the clan, if the two of you want to know more, the patriarch and Elder Yun Zhongyue should know better."
"Thank you for your advice."
"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I heard that Chang'an City is very lively, the two of you are from Chang'an, can you tell me?" The round platform at the top of the tree can see Chang'an, but it is not very clear, only the criss-crossing streets and alleys, as well as large and small houses. ”
Star Girl has lived on the Divine Tree since she was a child, and has only been as far as the round platform at the top of the tree and the junction between the Divine Tree and the Martial God Altar, and there have been many times when she wants to sneak out, but she is afraid of being blamed by the patriarch, so she has never left half a step.
"Every Chinese New Year's Eve, Chang'an Avenue will be full of red lanterns, every household will change into a new Spring Festival, and there will be many more tourists and merchants than usual.
The star girl listened carefully, imagining all the scenes that Xiao Zhen said, and looked forward to Chang'an on the other side of the God of War Mountain, as well as the vast world.
"In the evening, there will be all kinds of singing and dancing performances along the street, and when the sun is right, you can also see beautiful fireworks."
"Ah, I should have seen that fireworks, in previous years, on Chinese New Year's Eve, in addition to the lights all over the city, what I could see was all kinds of fireworks over Chang'an City, and the moment it bloomed was very beautiful, but unfortunately it disappeared in a blink of an eye."
"When I came, the lady was worried that she wouldn't be able to rush back to Chang'an in time, and she missed the fireworks when she was young, but she could see it here, so she didn't have to be in such a hurry."
"But if you look at this fireworks in Chang'an, it must be very different, after all, the top of the sacred tree is high into the clouds, and the fireworks are mixed in the lights, and it is difficult to distinguish them."
The star girl was a little disappointed when she said this, she walked to the window and watched the disciples in the door go to Chang'an, her eyes were full of envy.
The branches and leaves of the sacred tree forest are luxuriant, and the sunlight falls on the staggered branches through the gaps, which is originally warm, but it can't warm the sadness in the heart of the star girl.
"The dim sum made by Sister Xing is so delicious, it must be delicious."
Xiao Zhen looked at the dim sum with different shapes, and didn't know which one to eat first for a while, so he looked back and forth for a long time before choosing a plum-shaped sweet cake.
The sweet cake is a little soft and glutinous, and it tastes very sweet, and the more you eat it, the more rich it becomes, but it is not greasy at all.
"The girl tastes all the food in the world, and these small snacks of mine are really simple, which makes the girl smile."
Originally, Xiaozhen wanted to make the star girl happier, but it seemed to fail, but Xiaozhen really liked the dim sum she made.
"The food in the world has its own uniqueness, and so is the dim sum made by the girl, my lady already likes those delicate little dim sums, and it seems that she likes this sweet cake very much."
"Husband, this sweet cake is sweet but not greasy, you can taste it."
Xiao Zhen said, handed Xiao Yu a piece, although he doesn't like sweets, but he is also willing to taste those rare new foods.
"I don't like sweets, so every time the lady makes a snack, I always only eat what she makes, but the sweet cake made by the girl is quite special, very delicious, and it is indeed endless."
"Childe has won the award, since the two of you like it, eat more, I made a lot."
Although Xiaozhen likes all kinds of delicacies on weekdays, he can't eat much, only these small snacks can eat a lot.
Xu was in a hurry to eat, and Xiao Zhen accidentally choked on that snack, and his face turned red for a while, which scared Xiao Yu.
"Lady, you eat slowly."
Xiaoyu gently patted Xiaozhen on the back and handed her another glass of water, and it was not until she drank the glass of water that Xiaozhen finally recovered.
Seeing that his beloved wife was a little embarrassed, Xiaoyu laughed softly.
"Husband, you're laughing at me again."
"Where is there a joke about you, it's just that the lady has always been elegant, and the first time I saw the lady so reckless today, I felt extraordinarily cute."
"You two are so affectionate, it's enviable."
The star girl looked at the husband and wife, her eyes flashed with a different light, she was always looking forward to meeting someone who really loved her, always accompanied her, and protected her.
"Since the girl wants to go to Chang'an, why not explain it to the patriarch? Now the Three Realms are also peaceful, even if there are demons and spirits in chaos, but it is not as rampant as before, not to mention that Chang'an has always been peaceful, as long as you don't go out of the city, you shouldn't encounter any danger. ”
Hearing this, the star girl was even more moved, she had been yearning for Chang'an for a long time, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, Man'er began to pack her things early in the morning and prepare to go to Chang'an, how good it would be if she could go to Chang'an with her.
"The two young heroes are also going back to Chang'an in the evening, right?"
"Exactly."
"I wonder if you can intercede with the patriarch for me, if so...... I can go to Chang'an with the two young heroes, and the patriarch should agree. ”
"That being the case, why don't the girl go with us to visit the patriarch, I heard the barbarian girl say that she is also going to Chang'an, and we can go together."
"Thank you both."
As soon as the words fell, she hadn't seen the patriarch yet, and she didn't know whether it would be or not, so the star girl happily went to pack her bags, she believed that there were husband and wife interceding with the patriarch, and there were barbarians walking together, and the patriarch would definitely agree to her going out.
"By the way, this is for the two of you, and it should be regarded as a meeting gift."
The star girl handed each husband and wife a green leaf, the leaf was not big, but in her hand, she could feel the powerful spiritual power circulating in the veins of the leaf.
"This is the leaf of the sacred tree, and the spiritual power it contains is enduring, which can ward off evil and defend oneself."
"Thank you, girl."
After the star girl packed her bags, the three of them walked together towards the Shenmu house where the patriarch was, and before they had gone far, they met Yun Zhongyue, the elder of the Shenmu clan.
