Chapter 121: Heavenly Fragrance Gu
At this time, Ling Wenxuan recalled something that was almost forgotten, it was an emerald green bamboo flute, which he had coaxed and tricked from Lan Lingxiang, it had been two days since the city had been separated, and I didn't know how the eldest lady was doing now, thinking of the scenes of Lan Lingxiang being Mo Yi in various *, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but appear a wry smile.
Why do you keep thinking about these useless things, Master Ban is not at the dock, it stands to reason that what should be worried now is that he should rent a boat and go down the Qishui River, and finally fooled Wang Zhaolin's second uncle, it took a whole day to make a plan yesterday, is it going to be robbed of the limelight by Wang Zhaolin?
In fact, this is just an ordinary bamboo flute, its preciousness is reflected in the relics of Lan Lingxiang's mother, it must have been played many times, but it was a long time ago, the temperature on the eldest lady's lips has been weathered on the flute for a long time, why can't he blow it himself? Besides, he has long wanted to try the music that Yuna played on the harmonica that night.
So Ling Wenxuan reviewed the rules of the timbre of each hole and played it softly. After a while, everyone applauded when they heard this beautiful melody, and Yuna jumped over in surprise.
"Isn't that the harmonica piece I play a lot?
"I usually learn things relatively quickly, especially music, and I can almost remember it after listening to it once. Ling Wenxuan stopped playing, clenched the bamboo flute, and ran down the sloping dirt slope, "Look, the heavenly fragrant flowers on both sides of the strait are really beautiful." ”
Everyone ran down the dirt slope in the direction of Ling Wenxuan's finger, and came to the dazzling sea of flowers, the two sides of the water were like dyed with a layer of apricot yellow carpet, colorful butterflies were flying, bees were dancing, and cheerful elves were shuttling between the flowers, full of intoxicating vitality, bursts of fragrance surrounded the surroundings, until the heart was refreshing.
Lu Juji bumped down and bowed: "Father Ling is worthy of being well-informed, and he actually knows such a rare flower seed, I admire it." ”
"The flowers are mostly grown in mountainous areas with high sea waves, and this flower is cold-resistant, moisture-loving, and has high light requirements, so it is distributed in patches on the sunny slopes of plateau rivers. ”
Just as Ling Wenxuan replied, the white bird descended from the sky and stopped on the huge stems and leaves of a heavenly fragrance flower in front of them.
"Cortana, isn't this your bird? I find that it flies to you every time that music plays. She found that the white bird was not afraid of people, and the light yellow peck seemed to be looking for something in the stamens, "Look at it! What is in its mouth?"
Ling Wenxuan glanced at the insect that was struggling with half of its body on the white bird's peck, and explained: "A caterpillar that feeds on the nectar of Tianxiang flowers, also known as Tianxiang Gu, this kind of caterpillar foraging relies on a pheromone produced by the fragrance of flowers, which is unique to Tianxiang flowers. ”
Before Ling Wenxuan finished speaking, the greedy little chirp swallowed the Tianxiang Gu whole, and Ling Wenxuan had no choice but to laugh and continue: "Some birds, such as Xiao Jiu, feed on the Tianxiang Gu, so people use this characteristic to confine the Tianxiang Gu in the copper bell, and cast a spell to increase the vibration frequency of the Tianxiang Gu, so that the birds that hear the bell will fly to their destination and deliver letters to people. ”
"But why does this harmonica piece I play attract Xiao Jiu to fly over?"
"It's just that the frequency of your piece of music happens to be similar to the vibration frequency emitted by Tianxiang Gu, I understand today, Xiao Jiu is actually an ordinary carrier pigeon, it seems that it can use its characteristics to help me deliver letters. ”
"Who are you going to send it to?"
"You don't have to ask about this matter, I was already going to send a letter to that person, but I don't have a way, how about Xiao Jiu borrow me?"
Yuna's index finger tapped lightly on her lips, and after thinking for a while, she said, "I have no opinion, but you have to ask Xiao Jiu if he would like to give it to you!"
"Oh! it's so troublesome, how can I communicate with this fat bird!" Ling Wenxuan took out the letter that was rolled into a thin cylinder and dipped some pollen from Tianxiang flowers on it, but Xiao Jiu saw him approaching him, and hurriedly flapped his wings and flew away.
Seeing Ling Wenxuan's embarrassed appearance, Gui Xun'er covered her mouth and smiled and bent over, while Wang Zhaolin on the side patted Ling Wenxuan's shoulder and said confidently: "Brother Ling, don't worry, Ben Shao has his own way." ”
I saw Wang Zhaolin grab a few Tianxiang Gu from the nearby petals and pinch them in his hand, and approached Xiao Jiu who stopped on the branch: "Doesn't this bird like to eat insects? ”
Wang Zhaolin's action immediately made Gui Xun'er suppress his smile, and the wriggling insects in his hand made Gui Xun'er retreat three feet in a row, almost vomiting in disgust.
Xiao Jiu saw the Tianxiang Gu in Wang Zhaolin's hand, and sure enough, he flew over, looked carefully for a while, and didn't peck it, but pointed his butt at Wang Zhaolin, and slowly flew away in another direction.
This made Wang Zhaolin angry, he threw the Tianxiang Gu to the ground, and shouted: "Damn fat bird, see if I don't roast you and eat you, bring a knife to Ben Shao!"
"Hey, don't freak out Xiao Jiu, it's too inappropriate to blame others for despising you if you're not attractive. Yu Na rolled her eyes at Wang Zhaolin while whistling, and the little chirp that heard her whistle quickly flew over.
"It seems that this fat bird still likes you, and it will depend on you to deliver letters in the future. Ling Wenxuan smiled and slowly approached Xiao Jiu, carefully tied the letter tied with thin strips of cloth to Xiao Jiu's leg, just after tying it, he suddenly remembered something, leaned down and took out a small bamboo tube from his coat pocket, and grabbed all the Tianxiang Gu that Wang Zhaolin had landed on the ground just now, "Although these insects are not very comfortable to look at, it is still useful for me to keep them." ”
"You seem to be having a good time, do you want to rent my boat, I'll take you down the river." Just as Ling Wenxuan squatted down to catch insects, Yuna let go of Xiao Jiu, and the other three saw a young man in an emerald cloth running over quickly.
"Who are you, why do you want to rent a boat to us?" Lu Juji looked at the young man who was wiping sweat on his forehead with his hands, and had doubts in his heart.
"I'm Master Ban's apprentice, aren't you looking for him to rent a boat......?
"Strange, how do you know we're looking for Master Ban?"
"Dead fatty, you shut up for me, I didn't talk to you now. The young man yelled at Lu Juji very unceremoniously, and then smiled at Wang Zhaolin, "I heard from the people in the village yesterday that Young Master Wang brought a few outsiders to travel to the village, and the master borrowed the boat but didn't borrow it. ”
When Wang Zhaolin heard that there were really people willing to lend them a boat, he was naturally very happy: "Young man, how is your rowing level? If you can't do it, don't force yourself, don't laugh at us as a fat man, if you can't row, lend us the boat, and then return the boat to you when we turn around the water." ”
The boy patted his chest and promised: "Absolutely no problem!"
"Then make a deal! How much do you want?" Wang Zhaolin reached out and touched the money bag on his waist, his purse had been bleeding profusely recently, and there was not much money left in the hard-earned months, seeing that the young man was still a little hesitant to make a gesture of fifty belons, and the money in the money bag was just enough, "Take it! I don't have much." ”
As soon as Wang Zhaolin handed the money to the young man, Ling Wenxuan patted him on the shoulder behind him, quickly pulled him aside, and whispered: "This person must be careful not to avoid the other party's plot to do wrong." ”
"Hey, it's just a child, it can't be anything, don't make a big fuss. Wang Zhaolin smiled slightly, not taking Ling Wenxuan's words seriously at all, "Anyway, we have a ship, and then we will act according to the plan." ”
"But if you look closely at your surroundings, you don't see anything wrong. ”
Looking in the direction of Ling Wenxuan's finger, it seems to be a beautiful mountain wonderland: the river passes through the endless sea of flowers on both banks, splitting the lofty mountains and mountains, forming a treacherous canyon, the mountains are carved by the current as sharp as a knife, and the shore not far from them is moored a young man's boat, which is a flat rudder powered by oars, and the structure of the hull is perfectly integrated with the surrounding scenery, making people feel like they are in the painting.
"It's because you're too careful, I don't see anything wrong. Wang Zhaolin shrugged his shoulders and followed the young man in the direction of the steering boat.
"Don't rush to get on the ship yet, I'm still not worried about the safety of this ship, or let me cast a spell first." Seeing this, Ling Wenxuan stopped a few people who were about to board the ship.
Gui Xun'er seemed to understand something, and took the initiative to come to Ling Wenxuan's side, and whispered, "Do you want to use the Heavenly Spirit Enchantment." ”
"That's right, shouldn't you forget the postures and spells I taught you, right?" Ling Wenxuan raised his right hand to gather spiritual power, and pressed his left hand on his shoulder to suppress the meridians, "Finally, do it with me, don't let me teach you again next time." ”
"You're enough! I've never admitted to being your apprentice. Following Ling Wenxuan's gesture, Gui Xun'er condensed a white light on the tip of her right finger.
The two silently recited the incantation, pointing their fingers at the ruddership, and the two white rays of light formed a translucent film that wrapped the entire ship from top to bottom, and after the spell was cast, the film merged with the surrounding air, making it imperceptible to the human eye.
"That's fine, let's get on board. Ling Wenxuan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and blew.
"Aren't you here for a tourist? Are you worried that my ship won't be strong enough?"
"This priest is just in case, don't you care, get ready to sail. Wang Zhaolin replied to the green-shirted boy first, and then whispered to Ling Wenxuan, "How strong is this enchantment, can it resist the attack of the Frost Python?"
"To be honest, I don't really believe the legend you said, the Heavenly Spirit Enchantment has another purpose. Ling Wenxuan sneered twice, and slowly followed Gui Xun'er onto the rudder.
"You...... Be careful that you will suffer a loss......" Wang Zhaolin pointed to Ling Wenxuan's back unconvinced, beckoning Lu Juji to follow with him.
The edge of the rudder boat was still a little high from the river, and Yuna almost fell without paying attention for a while, but fortunately, the green-shirted boy grabbed her hand in time and pulled her onto the boat.
"Miss, are you alright?"
"Oh, it's okay...... Thank you!" Yuna replied, suddenly subconsciously a little frightened by this person, and the smile on the corner of the green-shirted boy's mouth was bottomless.
