Song Yuchen was still silent for a long time: "It's late, go to sleep." ”

That was a long time ago.

When the first emperor was there, he was very kind to the two brothers Song Yuchen, and once the first emperor was seriously ill and coughed up blood, and the palace was shrouded in a dark cloud. During that time, the first emperor asked the palace to heal him all over, but he did not see any improvement in his illness.

Later, it was a traveling doctor who unveiled the emperor's list and gave the emperor a prescription, so that people could see hope. The other medicines on the prescription are ordinary things, and they are available in the Tai Hospital in the palace, so it is not difficult to find. What is difficult to find is a medicine primer called water Ganoderma lucidum, which grows in the deep water of the south, and cannot be found in the Fuxian Lake.

With the best medicine, the first emperor's illness could be delayed for a month at most, for the first emperor's illness, the two brothers resolutely embarked on the journey to Fuxian Lake. The two of them marched all the way for three or five days before finally arriving at Fuxian Lake.

The two brothers looked at the white mountains and black waters of Fuxian Lake, and couldn't help but be intoxicated, forgetting the fatigue of hurrying for days.

"Two sons, do you want to swim in the lake?" There are not a few dignitaries and dignitaries who come to Fuxian Lake every day, and as soon as the two of them stopped in Fuxian Lake, there was a small boat lady who thought they were coming to play, and came over to ferry the boat.

The water of Fuxian Lake is clear, and the people are also clear, the girl has willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and there are two shallow pear vortices on her face when she smiles, and her skin is fair, like a fairy dotted in a landscape painting.

"Okay." The two brothers just wanted to take a look at the center of the lake, so the elder brother took the lead and nodded to the girl: "We are just going to take a ferry to the center of the river." ”

"Okay!" When the boat lady heard this, she rowed the boat to the shore with a smile and waited for them to go ashore: "Two sons, seeing that you are outsiders, you may not know some things!" ”

The girl smiled and introduced to the two brothers: "Although Fuxian Lake is beautiful, it is bottomless. And it seems to be calm, but there is always a whirlpool under the center of the lake. ”

"We used to have a couple of people here who were very water-based, and they were all folded there. Therefore, no matter how good the water is, people can't rush to the center of the lake. Let's hold the boat over, and don't be careless, don't fall into the lake. ”

The two brothers looked at each other.

"Girl." My brother spoke: "I heard that there is a strange medicine in Fuxian Lake, called Water Ganoderma lucidum, which can be used as a medicinal guide, right?" ”

The girl looked at the two brothers and nodded, "Yes." ”

"My two fellow villagers gave their lives to collect water Ganoderma lucidum, in fact, after my father died, Fuxian Lake never produced water Ganoderma lucidum again?"

"Your father?" The two brothers listened to the boatgirl's words and said in unison.

"Yes." The boatlady skillfully rocked the oars and nodded to the two brothers: "My father used to be the best person in the water here. It's a pity that he gave his life in order to collect water and Ganoderma lucidum. ”

The girl seemed to be talking about something sad, and after a short pause, she shut up. It wasn't until she came to the center of the lake that she began to introduce them to the scenery of Fuxian Lake.

The two brothers were concerned about the matter of water lingzhi, and constantly looked at the surrounding terrain on the way to the lake. The center of the lake is the deep water area of Fuxian Lake, if you can still see a few local men in the river bank just now, then there is indeed no one in the center of the lake.

"Childe, look!" There seemed to be an undercurrent at the bottom of Fuxian Lake, and the girl picked up an arm-long bamboo branch from the boat and threw it towards the lake. The bamboo branch originally floated lightly on the surface of the water, but in less than a moment, it was sucked into the bottom of the water by the undercurrent.

"This ......" This is probably the reason why water Ganoderma lucidum is hard to find.

"Girl, do you know if there is really a water lingzhi growing at the bottom of this lake?" If it grows, then there is hope for the emperor's illness, but it will take a lot of twists and turns.

"That's for sure." The girl nodded: "My father left a root when he was picking water Ganoderma lucidum, no matter what, there must be one now." ”

"You keep saying that you are here for the water reishi?" The girl asked innocently, the light in her eyes was beautiful.

"Yes." The younger brother nodded and admitted: "Our father is seriously ill, and now he needs water lingzhi as a medicine, so we came here." ”

"Then I'm afraid ......" The boat lady shook her head regretfully, which made the two brothers' hearts even heavier.

Early the next morning, the two brothers came to Fuxian Lake again, this time they gathered many locals of Fuxian Lake who were good at water, and on the surface of Fuxian Lake, Song Yuchen explained his purpose: to collect water Ganoderma lucidum.

Anyone who can harvest water Ganoderma lucidum will be able to get 10,000 taels of gold, and the glory and wealth of a lifetime will also be available.

But the people they summoned shook their heads without exception, and refused to accept such a dangerous errand. Regardless of whether you can get the gold taels for the time being, you can go to the bottom of Fuxian Lake, which is tantamount to throwing away your life.

"Hey......" When the last prime man was about to leave, he seemed to think of something, he suddenly turned around and said to the two brothers: "Two young masters, do you really need this water Lingzhi?" ”

"Hmm!" The two replied in unison, nodding.

"Before, we had the best water to collect water Ganoderma lucidum and didn't come back. Now, if you really want to fight, go find a little boat lady named Liluo. Her father, known as the water duck, was the one who had harvested the water lingzhi in the past. But she wasn't necessarily willing to take the risk. ”

It is said that Liluo is the daughter of the "water duck", with excellent water nature, flexible and petite body in the water, and is more dexterous than the man in Fuxian Lake.

She always rushed to the lake at the right time to ferry boats for those in need and earn some money to make ends meet.

As the sun rose, the two brothers braved the sun and waited on the shore, until it was almost noon, when they saw a girl in a blue shirt walking slowly.

She is not as gentle and demure as everyone in Wangcheng, and she abides by etiquette in every move, but she has her own taste.

"You're you again?" The person who came was the girl who ferried them yesterday, and when she saw the two brothers, she said hello lazily.

"Hmm." The younger brother nodded and looked at her thoughtfully: "Your name is Liluo?" ”

"That's right." The girl stood on the boat and untied the ropes: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"We ......" The two brothers couldn't say anything when they faced the girl, and when the words came to their mouths, they changed their words: "We still want to see the center of the lake." ”

After that, the two brothers came to Fuxian Lake every day, and they also found a few people with good water characteristics to do things, but without exception, they all failed.

The days passed, and just when the two brothers were disheartened, a secret report came from Kyoto. The first emperor's illness is getting worse and worse, and if he can't find the rare water lingzhi, he can only go back and wait for mourning.
