Chapter 146: Half Saint Lotus

The lotus pond in the backyard of the ancestral shrine in the forbidden land, Qiao Zhi appeared with the figure of Jiuyou, Jiuyou looked at the endless lotus, connected to the sky, beautiful, her eyes were shining, she couldn't help but walk into the shore, and exclaimed that it was so beautiful.

"Do you want to eat lotus seeds?" Qiao Zhi suddenly asked with a deep gaze.

Jiuyou nodded happily at Qiao Zhi.

"Let's go" Qiao Zhi walked directly onto a small boat on the shore, Jiuyou also hurriedly followed, both of them sat down, Qiao Zhi directly picked up the double pulp on both sides and rowed up, Jiuyou watched his movements and learned it decently, and secretly said that it was fun.

The boat slowly moved towards a cleaned waterway, and Jiuyou looked up at the lotus leaves, lotus flowers, and lotus canopies high on the left and right, feeling like a lilliputian country, shuttling in the lotus pond leaves. Food is at your fingertips, beautiful scenery is in front of you, pleasing to the eye. It's really a good mood, and the pain just now has long been forgotten by her and she went out to the clouds.

She looked at the plump lotus canopy, and couldn't help but reach out and want to fold one, but she didn't know if she could fold it, she looked at Qiao Zhi with a puzzled look.

"This is more than 500 years old, the further in, the longer the vintage, the better the taste, if you want to eat it, you can also taste it first" Qiao Zhi said calmly.

Jiuyou heard that it was okay, and directly folded one happily, why do you have to wait until you are in the innermost part to eat, it is too painful to just look at it and not eat. How good it is to eat and watch, maybe 500 years has a 500-year taste, and a thousand years has a 1,000-year taste? She wanted to taste the difference in this vintage and the difference in taste.

Jiuyou directly gave up the paddling experience, and was busy peeling lotus seeds with both hands, looking at Cui Shengsheng, full lotus seeds, how to look good. Jiuyou hurriedly ate one, chewed it slowly, and a slightly astringent sweetness filled the entire mouth, it tasted crispy, and the lotus heart was a little green with a hint of bitterness, delicious.

Jiuyou peeled another lotus seed, watching Qiao Zhi paddle hard, but eating with relish is it a bit rude? She hesitated for a moment and handed over the lotus seeds she had peeled in her hand, wanting to comfort him.

Qiao Zhi waved his hand and refused, and continued to paddle leisurely, and the boat moved forward slowly.

Jiuyou happily began to appreciate the lotus and eat the lotus. After eating, he stretched out his hand to fold another lotus pod, and continued to eat, and so on, and so on, very happy.

She slowly discovered that the more she went inside, the taste of the lotus seeds began to change slowly, the taste became sweeter and the aftertaste was endless, and the spiritual power contained in the lotus seeds became more and more vigorous, but the corresponding lotus heart became more bitter.

Gradually, she gained experience, and directly broke out the lotus heart in the middle, and then ate the lotus seeds, so that she would not taste bitter.

After a full hour of incense, the boat finally moved forward to the middle of the section, Jiuyou was shocked to find that there was a green golden lotus in the middle, only to see that its lotus leaf lines are all golden, the lotus flowers are as white as jade, the lotus seeds are surrounded by golden breath, and the whole green golden lotus is surrounded by fairy mist, like a fairy lotus, which amazes the eyes of Jiuyou.

At this moment, Jiuyou felt the temptation of food, and the divine blood soul in his body suddenly opened his eyes and kept shouting, as if to say, "Eat it eat it." Jiuyou watched as it kept swallowing.

Qiao Zhi saw this green golden lotus, a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes, this is the favorite lotus of Grandpa Tai's life, in the past, Grandpa Tai liked to come here to stroke the piano for the green golden lotus, and he lay on the boat to sleep, which also became his secret base when he was a child. Now the lotus is still there, and the scene is still the same, but the person is no longer there, only memories remain.

This green golden lotus is also a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation of their Qiao Tian clan, in addition to absorbing the light of day and night every day, the root system is also connected to the earth's veins, absorbing the qi of the people in the Qiao Tian clan's realm.

According to the history books of the Qiao Tian clan, this lotus was planted by the first ancestor of the Qiao Tian clan from the ancient time and space, and it is as old as it is as old as the Qiao Tian clan has existed.

This is a life-saving half-holy lotus, and Grandpa Tai once said that if the time precipitation is enough, maybe it can produce spiritual wisdom and become a humanoid semi-immortal elixir. However, it is not yet mature, and the plant system grows very slowly, often taking a very long time to settle.

At this moment, Jiuyou seemed to feel the sadness in Qiao Zhi's heart, her thoughts were pulled back from the green golden lotus, she didn't understand why this beauty could see sadness when she looked at such a beautiful lotus, she wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know what to do, she suddenly thought of such a sentence in her mind, music can heal heartache, and then she took out the bone flute in the storage bag, and seriously played the wedding vow blessing song.

Qiao Zhi listened to the familiar sound of the flute from the opposite side, and was a little stunned, as if it had reappeared yesterday, and the figure of his grandfather had reappeared.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the green golden lotus next to him, wondering if her flute sound could be recognized by this green golden lotus and thus get its favors.

You must know that the holy relics have spirits, although this green golden lotus is not yet mature, it is already a half-holy lotus, and it has a plant like and dislike instinct. It likes to listen to music, and only when it recognizes the music, it will peel off a thing from its body and give it to the musician. And to be able to get its gifts, the character must be excellent. If you are proud to snatch it, even if you get it, it will definitely be poisonous and resentful, and eating it is harmful to the body. Therefore, in order to obtain the holy relics, you must first get its approval, and only those that it takes the initiative to give can be eaten with confidence, which is of great benefit to itself.

I remember that when his grandfather first brought him here to play the qin, he also gave him a lotus leaf, which was later boiled for him to drink by his mother, and then he found that his affinity for spiritual power had increased.

I wonder if she will get its gifts, and what will she get? That's what he brought her here for.

Ever since he knew that she was a witch, he had a sense of urgency, the Demon Decree of the Ten Thousand Clans was not a joke, and the shadow was too terrifying, the future was unpredictable, and her life trajectory was full of too many uncertain factors, and the risks were too high. He can only do his best to protect each other, if her fate has already been doomed, then when the darkness comes, let her see more of the light, feel more beautiful in this world, and also make more preparations for her, hoping that she will not despair in disappointment, run in despair, and the good memories can support her through the darkness before dawn.

When Jiuyou heard Qiao Zhi's heart, he suddenly felt inexplicable, what danger could she have? But for some reason, when she played this wedding vow blessing song, she could always smell a faint fragrance next to her snort, which made her feel quite refreshed, and the clouds in her mind also loomed, she saw in a daze that in the night, a couple of newlyweds were married in the tribe, and all the relatives prayed sincerely for them, and finally there was an eldest woman wearing a red sacrificial costume, standing on the high platform and silently playing this song for them. The couple was even more moved to cry, and the scene was so unwarm.

After the song, Qiao Zhi looked at the green golden lotus who was motionless, her eyes darkened, could she still not get its approval? Since Grandpa Tai left, this green golden lotus also seemed to fall into a deep sleep and did not react. Does this disapprove of her now, or is it still sleeping?

Jiuyou held the bone flute, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that his interest was high, and he couldn't help but continue to play it. If she blew it just now to comfort Qiao Zhi, then this time she blew it for herself.

In the dark, she seemed to feel it, her mind didn't seem to be so chaotic and heavy, and she didn't know if it was because of the unique smell and fragrance of this green golden lotus, or because of such a beautiful scenery that made her eyes suddenly open up and she was in a good mood.

With the sound of the flute, the chaotic memories in Jiuyou's mind seemed to be gently lifted again, and she saw a picture again.

In a small courtyard planted with a peach blossom tree, she sat under the peach blossom tree, and a woman who looked exactly the same as her mother was teaching her to play this wedding vow blessing song very seriously, Qingxue and her mother's pictures began to overlap, so that she couldn't tell who she was, the peach blossoms fell, night fell, from early morning to sunset, she has been teaching her very seriously, without any impatience, still so patient and amiable, the scene reproduces, as if it was yesterday, at this moment, Jiuyou feels that this picture is so familiar, I feel that this may be a memory that I have forgotten.

Who is she? Jiuyou was confused and in a predicament, and the next moment, she seemed to be caught in the mist of the lotus pond, the water under her feet flooded her knees, she didn't know who she was and where to go. She stood still, confused.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a woman's cry faintly around, who was crying? Why is she crying so sadly, Jiuyou is surprised, curiosity prompts her to start looking for the direction of the cry in the lotus pond to search, but when she searched carefully, she found that no matter which direction she walked, the cry was still the same, but it seemed to become out of reach, but when she was still, it was close at hand, as if playing hide and seek with her, she could never find anyone.

"Little Ghost"

Suddenly, a woman's soft shout sounded in her mind, she was stunned for a moment, so familiar and kind, who is calling me?

Jiuyou kept looking around, but in the entire fog of the lotus pond, she was alone.

The water below her was rising higher and higher, reaching her thighs, and she struggled to pull her legs out of the mire, anxiously and aimlessly running around.

When she was confused and couldn't help crying, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of her to guide her forward, she walked forward step by step, the fog dispersed, she found that it was a green golden lotus, she remembered, isn't she enjoying the lotus with the beauty? What about beauties? Where did it go? And wasn't she just sitting on a boat playing the flute? How could it be inexplicably mired in an underwater quagmire?

She looked at the green golden lotus, the temptation of food made her can't help but walk forward, and finally approached the green golden lotus, looking at the white lotus that was as white as jade closest to her, she cautiously stretched out her right hand, wanting to touch it, what is it? Or jade?

Just when her hand touched the petals, the touch of her hand really told her that this was a flower, not jade, cold and cold, delicate and tender, she was afraid that she would touch it too hard, and the next moment she felt as if she had turned into a three-color flower, just when she panicked, she found that she had become a human again, and she was so frightened that she withdrew her hand directly.

When she looked up again, she found that she was still sitting on a small boat, playing the flute, she put down the flute in her hand in confusion, looking around, I don't know if it was a dream or a fantasy just now, why is it so real?

When she turned her head to look at the green golden lotus again, she found that the white lotus she had just touched suddenly left the stalk of the green golden lotus and flew towards her quickly.
