Chapter 226: Saying Relatives and Giving Sutras (2-in-1 Chapter)
The boatman also heard a lot of rumors about Peach Blossom Island, saying that the owner of the island kills people without blinking, and loves to dig people's hearts, liver, lungs and intestines, and cut off ears and tongues, so when they saw the two of them go ashore, they hurriedly put the rudder back to the ship, and they wanted to flee away, and they couldn't even care about the boat money, but they only hoped to leave this legendary dangerous place as soon as possible, for fear that if they stayed for a while, they would worry about their lives.
"Boatman, your boat money!"
Ling Muyun smiled slightly, took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms and threw it, and landed on the bow of the boat with a "dang" sound.
The boatman originally only wanted to be able to leave this place alive, but he didn't expect to have such a heavy reward, and he was overjoyed, and the evil feeling in his heart that was originally caused by Ling Muyun forcing him to come here suddenly disappeared, but he was afraid of the terrifying legend of Peach Blossom Island, so he still didn't dare to stop on the edge of the island, nodded to Ling Muyun and thanked him, and then hurriedly sailed away.
I came to the island, but I saw that the island was full of flowers and trees, and I looked around, but I saw that there were trails in the south, south, and northwest, but I didn't know which side to go. remembered that when she was in Guiyunzhuang, Huang Rong once said that although the layout of Guiyunzhuang was strange, it was not as wonderful as the opening and closing of yin and yang on Peach Blossom Island and the inversion of Qiankun. He couldn't even understand Guiyunzhuang, and if he ventured into this Peach Blossom Island, he would have to get lost.
Hong Qigong obviously also knew the mystery of this Peach Blossom Island, and he didn't go to the island after going to the island, and said to Ling Muyun: "Ling Xiaoyou, Huang Laoxie is extremely smart, astronomy and geography, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine and astrology, Qimen and five elements, all of them know everything, all of them are fine, this island has long been arranged by him like a maze array, if there is no one to guide the way, as soon as you enter, you have to be lost in it." So we can't break in, we have to ask him to come out and pick us up. ”
Speaking of this, Hong Qigong raised his head and shouted to the island Hong: "Brother Yao, I always call Hua to come to visit, won't the master of Brother Yao come out to pick it up?" The voice was like a flood of bells, teleported far away.
With Hong Qigong's skill at this time, he shouted loudly, and the sound could be heard for twenty or thirty miles. According to Ling Muyun's observation when he was at sea, the area of this Peach Blossom Island is actually not very large, and it is more than ten miles in radius. Hong Qigong's voice can be heard all over the island. The Huang Yaoshi in Buyu Island couldn't hear it.
Sure enough, as soon as Hong Qigong's voice fell, he heard a long laugh from Qingyue in the island: "Hahahaha, it's really a rare guest." Which fragrant wind blew the seventh brother to the little brother, and my desert island Burrow? ”
But when the laughter first sounded, it was still deep on the island. Wait for the voice to fall. It was already very close, and it was evident that the person who spoke had done it with great skill, and in just a few words he had rushed from the depths of the island to the closer.
Ling Muyun couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart. His prospective father-in-law is really not covered, from the peach blossom island to this coast, there must be several miles of land, this sentence is three or two breaths of work, in this short period of time, his prospective father-in-law can rush from the island to the sea, this light work is really amazing. I'm afraid that there is no one to compare with the world.
Before Ling Muyun's thoughts were finished, he saw a middle-aged scribe in a green shirt walking out of the flower tree in front of him, only to see that this person had a clear appearance, a plump posture, Xiao Shuxuan, and a clear god, it was the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master.
"Seventh brother, you are here, the little brother is this desert island is really full of splendor......" Huang Yaoshi walked out of the flower tree with a smile, and before he could finish his sentence, he saw Ling Muyun beside Hong Qigong at a glance, and his voice suddenly froze, as if he didn't expect Ling Muyun to come.
Ling Muyun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Huang Yaoshi: "The little nephew has seen Uncle Huang. ”
Huang Yaoshi nodded: "You're here too." ”
Hong Qigong laughed and said, "Brother Yao, I always called Hua to come to your Peach Blossom Island this time, just at the invitation of Ling Xiaoyou, how could he, the main master, not come?" ”
"Oh?" Huang Yaoshi was slightly stunned, looked at Ling Muyun, and while being surprised that Ling Muyun could invite Hong Qigong, he also wanted to know what the hell was going on, and asked Ling Muyun to ask Hong Qigong for help, it wouldn't be to go to his Peach Blossom Island to rob his relatives, right?
Huang Yaoshi was amused by his absurd idea that suddenly popped up.
Ling Muyun was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a voice as crisp and beautiful as a silver bell: "Seven Princes, Seven Princes......" Then a pretty girl with bright eyes and white clothes like snow ran out of the path between the flowers and trees, who is it not Huang Rong?
Huang Rong turned around the flower tree and saw Ling Muyun at a glance, and was immediately surprised, and quickly ran to his approach: "Brother Yun, you are really here, ......" was both joy and excitement, not a word, tears had already flowed, and then he threw himself into Ling Muyun's arms.
It turned out that Huang Rong heard Hong Qigong's voice on the island, and suddenly remembered the agreement between Ling Muyun and her when they were in Guiyunzhuang before, and guessed that since Hong Qigong had arrived, Ling Muyun would definitely come, so she hurriedly came out to check and greet her, but her light skills were much worse than her father Huang Yaoshi, so she arrived a little later than Huang Yaoshi.
Hong Qigong laughed and said to Huang Yaoshi: "Brother Yao, have you seen it?" Where is your precious daughter coming to pick me up? It's clear that she came to see her little lover under my guise.,No.,As soon as I saw my little lover.,I just forgot about my old flower.。 ”
Hearing Hong Qigong make fun of her like this, Huang Rong poked her head out of Ling Muyun's arms, and said coquettishly: "Qigong, what are you talking nonsense, if you talk nonsense like this again, I will never give you anything to eat in the future!" ”
Hong Qigong smiled: "Okay, good, good, it's always called me nonsense, you came out to greet me, look at Xiao Qinglang just by the way, it's okay now." But let's say it, I've traveled so far for your business this time, you can do more delicious hospitality and entertain the old flower. ”
Huang Rong burst into tears and smiled: "Seventh Gong, don't worry, I will definitely use all my skills this time to cook a few good dishes for you, and I promise that you will eat so much that you can swallow your tongue......"
When Hong Qigong heard Huang Rong say this, he immediately smiled: "Okay, okay, I'm waiting to taste your cooking skills!" ”
Previously, Hong Qigong said that he came to Peach Blossom Island this time because he was invited by Ling Muyun, and he listened to the meaning of what he said now. It seems that the matter is still related to Huang Rong, and Huang Yaoshi faintly guessed what was going on in his heart. Therefore, he was not busy asking Hong Qigong about their intentions, and said with a smile: "Seventh brother, this is not a place to speak, please go inside to serve tea." ”
"Brother Yao, please."
"Seventh brother, please."
Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong humbled each other, and Huang Yaoshi led the way in front, and Hong Qigong and others followed behind, all the way to the island. Although Huang Yaoshi did not greet Ling Muyun, Ling Muyun didn't care, knowing that Huang Yaoshi didn't greet him because he didn't look down on him. But in his heart, he already regarded him as his own. So he followed with a smile.
Ling Muyun and Huang Rong were unspeakably happy when they reunited, talking and laughing along the way, especially Huang Rong. even took Ling Muyun's hand. Laughter and laughter. If there was no one around, while exchanging heartfelt complaints with Ling Muyun, he also did not forget to introduce him to the scenery of the island.
The scenery of Peach Blossom Island is already very beautiful, and there is a beautiful girl like Huang Rong as a tour guide. The fun is even more interesting, not to mention Ling Muyun, but Hong Qigong, who has always only been interested in food, is interested, and listens to Huang Rong's witty explanations while watching the scenery along the way.
Under the guidance of Huang Yaoshi, everyone walked zigzag for several miles, turned a hill, and a large meadow appeared in front of them, and to the north of the meadow was a row of bamboo forests. I saw that there is a pavilion made of bamboo branches in the bamboo forest, the banner on the pavilion can be seen clearly under the illumination of the sun, it is the three words of "trial sword pavilion", there are sub-couplets hanging on both sides, it is the two sentences that are quite famous "the peach blossom shadow flies the sword, and the blue sea tide is born according to the jade flute".
There are bamboo platforms and bamboo chairs in the pavilion, all of which are things that have been used for many years, and they are moistened, and a faint yellow light appears in the sun. On the side of the bamboo pavilion are two large pine trees, with branches and branches, which are afraid that they are hundreds of years old. The pine and bamboo, the tranquility is incomparable.
"Brother Yun, we have a lot of scenery on Peach Blossom Island, but there are four of my father's favorite places on weekdays, namely Finger Peak, Qingyin Cave, Green Bamboo Forest and Sword Trial Pavilion. This bamboo forest and this pavilion are the green bamboo forest and the sword test pavilion. ”
Huang Rong pointed her jade hand to the bamboo forest and the pavilion in the forest, and introduced to Ling Muyun: "Daddy, he usually practices martial arts and swords, and he comes to the grass in front of this bamboo forest, and when he is tired of practicing, or has any understanding, he will go to the bamboo pavilion in the forest to rest, I also liked to come here to play when I was a child, especially in the summer." ”
Ling Muyun looked at the quiet green bamboo forest in front of him and the bamboo pavilion that was slightly deep under the shade of the bamboo forest, and couldn't help but nod secretly, the environment here is beautiful, clean and uninhabited, and it is really a good place to rest intermittently. In the summer, if you can rest and enjoy the cool in this bamboo pavilion, and then accompany it with a cup of fragrant tea, it is really a rare pleasure, no wonder Huang Rong said that she is willing to come here to play in the summer, in other words, he will also have this thought.
In fact, it was not only Ling Muyun, Hong Qigong also nodded after listening to Huang Rong's words, and turned to Huang Yaoshi: "Yes, Brother Yao, you are worthy of being smart and wise, you just can enjoy it and make such a good place." On this hot day, if you can have a pot of wine here, and then a fat chicken with a big butt, and eat a delicious meal while enjoying the coolness, it will be really comfortable! Brother Yao, don't you say? ”
As soon as Hong Qigong said this, the smiles on Ling Muyun and Huang Rong's faces froze almost at the same time, drinking and eating fat chicken in such a quiet and quiet place? Why does it feel weird, there is a kind of meaning of burning the qin and boiling the crane?
Even Huang Yaoshi, who was leading the way in front, couldn't help but be confused, turned his head and smiled at Hong Qigong reluctantly: "Seventh brother, you are joking, junior brother, when I built the pavilion, I only thought about it as a cool drink, but I didn't think about it so much. ”
Seeing this, Hong Qigong smiled and said: "Brother Yao, you don't need this look, I'm joking with you when I always call Hua, I know that Brother Yao is an elegant person, unlike Lao Hua, you probably won't enjoy this kind of blessing." Hahaha......"
"The seventh brother plays the world, and his state of mind is detached, which is beyond my reach." Huang Yaoshi shook his head slightly, smiled slightly, turned his head and continued to lead the way.
Everyone twisted out of the bamboo forest, and a large lotus pond appeared in front of them. The white lotus in the pond is in full bloom, the fragrance is bursting, the lotus leaves are in the field, and a small stone embankment passes through the center of the lotus pond. Huang Yaoshi stepped across the embankment and led everyone into a retreat. The house was made of pine trees that did not peel the bark, and the outside of the house was covered with green vines. Although it was hot summer at this time, everyone suddenly felt a burst of coolness when they saw this room.
Huang Yaoshi let a few people into the study, and the dumb servant brought tea. The color of the tea is turquoise, cold as snow water, and the entrance is cool and refreshing. Hong Qigong said with a smile: "The world says: I have been calling flowers for three years, and even officials don't want to do it." Brother Yao, if I live in your cool world for three years. But I don't even want to call flowers! ”
Huang Yaoshi said with a smile: "If the seventh brother is willing to be here to talk, our brothers and sons will drink and talk, and the younger brother really can't ask for it." ”
Hong Qigong heard him sincerely, moved in his heart, and said, "Thank you." It's a pity that the old flower is born to be a hard worker, and he can't be blessed like Brother Yao. If he hadn't been entrusted by Ling Xiaoyou this time, he wouldn't have come to disturb Brother Yao. ”
"Oh, it turns out that the seventh brother is here." Huang Yaoshi didn't have any surprise on his face, obviously he had already expected this matter, and asked with a smile: "But I don't know why Seventh Brother came this time?" ”
"It's not for Brother Yao, your baby daughter?" Hong Qigong laughed. Said: "Ling Xiaoyou and Brother Yao, your baby daughter, are in love. This time, he specially invited me to come to your Peach Blossom Island, just to ask me to ask you for marriage on his behalf, so I always asked Hua to leave the things in the gang and rush over. Brother Yao, you won't refute the old call to spend my face, right? ”
Huang Yaoshi secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough! ”
Before this, he had already guessed that Ling Muyun and Hong Qigong might be proposing. Now it turned out to be exactly what he had predicted. Eyes swept away. I saw my daughter Huang Rong bow her head with red cheeks. But the joy on his face could not be hidden. Looking at Ling Muyun again, Ling Muyun did not shy away from his gaze at all, his eyes were full of expectation and determination.
Huang Yaoshi suddenly sighed softly. looked at Ling Muyun: "Have you and Rong'er discussed it a long time ago?" ”
Ling Muyun knew that Huang Yaoshi was asking about this proposal, so he nodded: "Yes, Uncle Huang, Rong'er and I have indeed discussed it in advance, and it is precisely because I know Rong'er's intentions that the little nephew dares to invite the old man of Qigong to come to the door to propose marriage." ”
Huang Yaoshi's gaze turned to Huang Rong: "I'll just say, why did you suddenly become sensible when you came back Rong'er this time, you were waiting for this one after a long time!" No wonder they all say that girls are extroverted, and sure enough, look, this hasn't been out of the cabinet yet, and they have begun to find ways to help their lovers. ”
As Huang Yaoshi said, after Huang Rong returned to Peach Blossom Island this time, she suddenly became well-behaved and sensible. Although Huang Rong was not a barbaric and arrogant person before, and she was also quite filial to Huang Yaoshi, she was still a little temperamental and capricious, otherwise she would not have run away from home because she was reprimanded by Huang Yaoshi.
But after returning to the island this time, Huang Rong's little willful temper is completely gone, and she is so well-behaved and sensible that she seems to have changed into a different person. Originally, Huang Yaoshi thought that Huang Rong had gone out, experienced the world, and grew up sensible. But now it seems that this is clearly preparing for Ling Muyun's kiss!
Huang Rong was suddenly a little embarrassed, although part of the reason why she was a good girl during this time was that she wanted to make Huang Yaoshi feel comfortable and not to obstruct the marriage between her and Ling Muyun, but when Huang Yaoshi said it in front of people, she was still ashamed enough, and she threw herself into Huang Yaoshi's arms, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, look at what you said......"
"Okay, I won't talk about it, but this family business......
"What's going on?" Huang Rong suddenly raised her head from Huang Yaoshi's arms and looked at him with a nervous face, as if she was afraid of saying three words of disagreement from his mouth.
Huang Yaoshi saw his daughter's nervousness, and said with a smile: "Look at you, the man hasn't said anything, you can't hold back first, how did I raise such a shameless girl like you, you are so anxious to get married?" ”
"Dad-" Huang Rong knew that Huang Yaoshi was teasing her, her face was so red with shame, her head was buried deep in her chest, and she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to see anyone.
Seeing this, Ling Muyun stood up in a timely manner: "Uncle Huang, the little nephew really likes Rong'er, and I hope that Uncle Huang can fulfill it." In order to show his sincerity, the little nephew specially recited a thin gift, and asked Uncle Huang to smile for the sake of my infatuation with Rong'er! ”
As he spoke, Ling Muyun took out a silk wrapped bag from his arms and handed it to Huang Yaoshi with respectful hands.
Huang Yaoshi glanced at the package and knew that this should be the dowry, as long as he took it, it would mean that he had admitted this family business. Originally, according to custom, this dowry should have been sent by the man to the woman's family after the engagement and before the marriage.
Before the dowry ceremony, the matchmaker usually mines the post first, discusses with the woman's family, and then writes it on the book of rites after the discussion, presents the gift, and puts it in the red lacquered wooden plate and other utensils. After the woman accepts the dowry, she will give the man a receipt, and then choose an auspicious date for marriage.
However, Huang Yaoshi is known as the Eastern Evil, and has always been disdainful of secular etiquette, if it is really done in strict accordance with the folk marriage customs, I am afraid that it will not be happy, so Ling Muyun directly gave the gift in person, anyway, the meaning of this Huang Yaoshi will definitely be able to understand, both show sincerity, and not be bound by etiquette, so as not to cause him to be unhappy with the old father-in-law.
Looking at the shape of the package, it should be something like a booklet, Huang Yaoshi nodded secretly in his heart, Ling Muyun was not bad, at least he didn't get him some vulgar yellow and white things. Although he still doesn't know what kind of books are wrapped in it, since he has chosen to give away books, this style alone is more in line with his taste. If it was really like a secular mediocrity and those yellow and white things to be hired, Huang Yaoshi really had to consider whether he should agree.
"Please take it from Uncle Huang!"
Ling Muyun saw that Huang Yaoshi didn't react for a while, and handed the package in his hand forward.
Huang Rong couldn't care less about being shy at this time, and couldn't help urging loudly: "Daddy, Brother Yun has a lot of kindness, you should accept it quickly." ”
"Look at you, you're in a hurry, it's really a big woman!" Huang Yaoshi glanced at his anxious daughter, and pretended to sigh helplessly, "I'll just accept this gift, now you can rest assured!" ”
As he spoke, Huang Yaoshi reached out and took the package from Ling Muyun's hand, stretched out his hand to open the package and take a look, only to see that it was indeed a book, and the four words with silver hooks and iron marks written on the cover were "Jiuyang True Scripture"!
