Chapter 30: Star Picking Tower (3)
Tianxue hurriedly comforted Leng Guqing and said: "Xue'er believes that there must be this kind of flower in the world, otherwise how can there be a record in the scriptures? By the way, master, just now Xue'er found a red lotus leaf in the pond, and a large flower bud growing in the middle of the blood-red lotus leaf is also red. Have you ever seen a red lotus leaf in a pond before?"
"There will be red lotus leaves in the pond? ”
"Xue'er feels very strange, why do lotus leaves turn red?"
"For the teacher, maybe it's because the water in the pond hasn't been changed for a long time, and the water is too dirty for the lotus leaves to change color, so let Xiaobai change the water in the pond. Today, the teacher is going downstairs once, just now Yunyan Shangshen used the Jinqin to transmit the voice and said that there is something to find me, and the teacher will go to see what he has to do. Xue'er is upstairs to practice the swordsmanship taught to you by the master in the book, and if there is something you don't understand, I will teach you when the master comes back in two days. ”
"Although the master is busy, Xue'er must practice swords at home. By the way, master, Xue'er saw a sword in the study of Baihuayuan, can Xue'er use it to practice swords?"
"Go ahead, that sword was originally prepared for you, you can take it and use it first. ”
Tianxue lowered her head and bowed and said, "Xue'er understands, Xue'er thanks the master for the sword." ”
"Go ahead. ”
Tianxue was about to turn around and leave, but she realized at this time that the guqin on the table would make a beautiful sound if no one played it, and there were secret words hidden in the sound that others couldn't understand. She sighed in her heart, the master's fairy baby is too powerful.
The little fox pursed the fox's mouth and said to himself, "The pond is so big, how much mana will it take me to change the water? No, I have to eat more, otherwise I won't have the strength to work." ”
Tianxue didn't wait for the little fox, and went back to Baihuayuan alone.
Out of the gate of Yeming Palace, on the way back to Baihuayuan, Tianxue kept thinking about the red lotus leaf in the pond and the legendary leafless black rose.
She said to herself as she walked along the rainbow cloud road: "The leaves of the lotus flower are originally green, but the water in the pond can make it red, so is there a kind of water that can make the red roses black? More than 10,000 years have passed, the master has not found black roses, maybe there are no wild black roses in this world, if I can grow black roses." ”
Back in Baihuayuan, Tianxue searched around in the courtyard, and finally found a water tank that was not too big. She bent down and tried to hug it, but feeling that the tank was not too heavy, she picked it up and walked slowly in the direction of the pond.
She walked very carefully, for fear that she would fall and break the water tank if she was not careful. When she came to the pond and placed the water tank closest to the red lotus leaf, she filled it with a wooden scoop.
At this time, a little fox flew in the sky, and it came to change the water in the pond. The white fox saw Tianxue filling the water tank from afar, and didn't know why she did it.
"Sister Fairy, why are you loading a tank of dirty water? There is a well in the backyard of Baihuayuan, and you can draw water from the well if you want to wash your clothes. The little fox flew to Tianxue's side as he spoke. ”
Tianxue put down the water scoop, turned her head and replied, "I want to plant flowers in this jar." Little fox, can you find a way to dig out that red lotus? I want to transplant it into this vat. ”
"Sister Fairy wants that red lotus, you wait a while, I'll pull it up." ”
The white fox "swished" and disappeared.
Tianxue looked up at the turquoise pond, and saw the white fox standing on the lotus leaf dressed in black, and with a wave of his hand, he conjured a long bamboo pole out of thin air, stretched into the water and uprooted the red lotus and brought it out of the water. He hugged the whole red lotus and smiled at Tianxue from afar, turned around and quickly flew to the shore.
With a "plop", the red lotus was thrown into the water tank by the white fox and splashed all over the ground.
Tianxue gave the white fox a grateful smile: "Thank you, Xiaobai! I have one more thing to ask you for, can you help me find a few red roses? I want to plant some roses in the Baihua Garden." ”
The white fox's face was a little naughty, and he smiled very happily, and deliberately said in a strange voice: "Oh! The words 'thank you' come out of the mouth of the fairy sister are really good, I really like to listen to the fairy sister! The fairy sister likes roses? There are a lot of roses in the Liuling Palace downstairs to pick stars, but they are beautiful! When I finish changing the water in this pond, I will go downstairs and pick flowers for my sister." ”
"Did you hear me wrong? I'm going to plant flowers, and I want whole roses, not just flowers. ”
"Isn't it just to appreciate the fairy sister who grows flowers? I'll just pick some for you every day, why does my sister bother raising flowers?"
"You're really wrong, I'm not raising flowers for the sake of looking at them, I'm doing experiments to see if I can make red roses bloom black. ”
The white fox was stunned for a moment and seemed to understand what Tianxue meant, and couldn't help laughing: "Sister Immortal is really whimsical! How can you make the red roses black? But if you can let the three gods in the ancestral hall know about this intention, they will definitely be moved to tears." ”
Tianxue squinted at the white fox: "You dare to laugh at me? Let me tell you that there is no impossible thing in the world, and all miracles can happen." I'm going to water the roses with the water in this tank, I think this water can make the green lotus leaves red, maybe the red roses black, and when I grow black roses, see if you dare to laugh at me. ”
Seeing Tianxue's serious face, the white fox didn't dare to laugh at her anymore, and felt that her stomach hurt.
As soon as he turned around, he flew to the other side of the pond, and shouted at Tianxue from a distance: "Sister Fairy, slowly study the matter of planting flowers by yourself, I will change the water in the pond." ”
The white fox went downstairs after changing the water in the pond, and Leng Guqing also went downstairs to find Yunyan, and Tianxue was the only one left in the big star-picking building.
In the kitchen of Baihuayuan, the white fox has already prepared kitchenware and tableware, as well as many ingredients. Tianxue was only eight years old, and her mother had hardly let her cook, so she was a little worried when she looked at the red, green, and green vegetables and the rice noodles in the jar.
Fortunately, Tianxue learned a few tricks from Xiao Ci in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, so she didn't go hungry for lunch, but simply boiled a bowl of porridge and ate a few bites of her own fried green onion eggs, barely filling her stomach. She suddenly felt that it was better to have a little fox in the future, and she must learn how to cook from the little fox in the future.
Tianxue came to the study and found the meteorite sword, the golden scabbard was more than an inch wide and more than three feet long, and there were several small nightshade flowers carved on it, and it was painted with dyes of different colors, purple, red, and yellow, which looked very exquisite.
Tianxue stroked the sword and said to herself: "This sword must be the master of Baihuayuan, how much does this person like nightshade flowers, and he even carves nightshade flowers on his sword." ”
She reached for the sword, expecting it to be a little heavy, but it was so light that it seemed to be nothing in her hand.
Tianxue carried her sword to the edge of the pond, there was a large and spacious open space, which was very suitable as a place for her martial arts training.
Tianxue stood on the shore of the pond, looking at the four-cornered pavilion in the middle of the pond, recalling in her mind the sword tricks and moves that her master had taught her in books. The first layer of swordsmanship is called sword swinging, which is to swing the sword to turn the aura on the sword and one's own internal force into a strong wind, blowing up the dust on the ground or setting off a wave of wind and waves on the water surface to block the enemy's sight.
She took a deep breath, and slowly pulled out her sword from the sheath in her palm, and jumped up with a "whoosh" sound, a pink shadow flashed, and then saw that Tianxue was already standing at the top of the pavilion.
She looked down at the endless green lotus leaves in the pond, and swung her sword at the water, expecting that it would set off several long waves of water like the master in the book when he swung his sword, but the reality disappointed Tianxue, and the calm water surface barely moved at all, just a few ripples like a breeze blowing.
Tianxue couldn't help sighing, shook her head and said to herself: "Why didn't you make waves? Could it be that my internal strength is too weak, or that this sword doesn't listen to me as an outsider?"
She picked up her sword and examined it carefully, the blade of the sword was shining with a cold light, and there was nothing wrong with it. She swung her sword again calmly, and did not make waves as before.
She picked up the sword again, and gently stroked the blade with her fingers, and suddenly a pain in her fingertips and a drop of blood flowed on the blade. She was about to take out her handkerchief to wipe it, but the drop of blood seeped into the body of the sword and disappeared instantly.
At this moment, the sword body that was originally holding white light instantly flashed red because of the drop of blood that sucked Tianxue, which made Tianxue very surprised and stunned for a while.
After a while, Tianxue felt her arm shook, and the sword in her hand seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force, and suddenly flew into the sky with her.
The sword kept circling and flying in the air, and Tianxue held it tightly with all her strength and did not dare to let go, for fear that it would fly away and never be able to find it again.
One person and one sword flew around the entire Star Picking Tower several times, and finally landed in the Hundred Flowers Garden.
The snow was unsettled, and I felt my heart pounding against a small tree, gasping for air, and the sweat on my head ran down my neck.
She looked at the sword in her hand and said to herself: "Why is this sword so evil? It was fine just now, why did it suddenly go crazy and fly around? Can't it get bloody, it will go crazy when it gets bloody? It seems that I can't control it yet, so let's wait for the master to come back and ask the master for advice." ”
Tianxue dragged her tired body into the house slowly, and lay on the bed for a while before recovering her strength.
She later learned that this meteorite sword was spiritual, and it flew around the Star Picking Tower to find its owner, and finally failed to find its owner before falling into the Hundred Flowers Garden, because its owner had been living in the Hundred Flowers Garden during his lifetime.
The next morning, Tianxue came to the pond early in the morning to see if the red lotus flowers planted in the tank had bloomed.
She gently touched the blood-red bud with her hand, and said, "I haven't seen it all night, it grows so fast, it has grown so big, it looks like it will bloom tomorrow, I want to see what the big red lotus looks like, how beautiful it is." ”
