Chapter Twenty-Four: The Eye Pond
"Arrived?" Xu Sheng looked at the thorny jungle in front of him, and there was nothing special about it. Reaching out to the jungle in front of you, it was as if you had entered another world.
It's a wonder of the world.
The most striking thing in the eye is the endless blue lake, like a sapphire set in the sky and the earth. There seemed to be an island in the middle, looming, hidden under a thick fog. Countless flying birds and seagulls hover above the lake. Macaques, foxes, hares, pheasants, and even tigers, elk, are all free to frolic here.
There are no predators and predators at all, and the laws of survival in the jungle seem to have a powerful force that makes them put down all their fighting.
The most important thing is that it is winter, even if it is almost spring, but the scene here is actually autumn. As far as the eye can see, it is all autumn.
All the trees are covered with yellow leaves in autumn, and the ground is covered with fallen leaves.
One day the golden color fills the blue lake and connects the blue sky of the lake.
They stood on a small cliff. Look out at the jungle trees and various rare beasts below, and the azure sea and sky in the distance.
No one would have imagined that in the capital, there would be such a source outside the world. Although it is in the suburbs, where is this lake connected in the distance? I'm afraid no one knows.
There is such a world hidden, this is the eye pond mentioned in the ancient books, I always thought it was fake, it was a legend. After all, in the capital, after all, in the royal hunting grounds, not no one has looked for it, but no one has been able to find it. Now, he was discovered by the children around him.
Some things really need to be counted.
"What a beautiful place." Si Koulin couldn't help but sigh, "How good it is to live here." ”
"That's the little secret you discovered?" Xu Sheng took the child's hand, took a step forward, and entered this paradise that was too beautiful to say. Xu Sheng could imagine that there would be a bigger secret waiting here.
"Hmm!" Si Koulin took Xu Sheng's hand and looked up at Xu Sheng. It's like a child looking at his big brother trustingly, and even childishly wanting to show off and say, look at how good I am.
Xu Sheng looked down at the elf-like child and touched his head.
I may have picked up a treasure, but what is the price behind this treasure?
"Can we go down?" Si Koulin looked at the cliff below his feet, there were many rattans beside him, and the entire cliff was densely covered, like a huge golden curtain. It's not impossible to think about it, but it's a little scary.
After all, this place is too beautiful to be real, and even feel that any trespass in it will destroy this paradise-like place and be punished.
However, there is a strong feeling that I belong here. Or maybe there is something powerful here that attracts itself.
Xu Sheng looked at the young man who was eager to try and a little timid. Now that I'm here today, if I don't go to see it, I may not have a chance in the future. It's a chance to be here.
Xu Sheng stretched out his hand and pulled a thick rattan, tried his strength on his hand, and clamped the young man with one arm, "Hold me." ”
Si Koulin hugged Xu Sheng's waist, and the whole person was carried by Xu Sheng, flying into the whole beautiful picture scroll from the top of the cliff at a high place. Like a bird, it feels so free.
There is a 100-meter-high cliff that moves rapidly in front of you.
Xu Sheng hugged the young man, slowed down, and landed firmly on the ground.
The soft earth, the fragrant meadows, a flock of birds flew up and scattered, and all sorts of small animals jumped and hid in the jungle.
Not far away is the blue lake, even if you look at it so closely, it is still beautiful and unreal.
Xu Sheng took Si Koulin to the front of the lake and looked at the small island in the middle of the lake in the distance, looming. "Do you know the legend here?"
"Legends?" Si Koulin squatted down and scooped up a scoop of water with his hands, which was cold and cold. "This legend must be beautiful."
Xu Sheng smiled and said slowly, "It's really beautiful." ”
Si Koulin looked at Xu Sheng's golden eyes, reflecting the yellow leaves in the sky, and felt that he should belong here. I felt that in the eyes of the golden whirlpool, there was a whole world, and I was deeply immersed in it, and asked obsessively, "What is it?" ”
"This continuous group of mountains is called Qiushen Mountain, and legend has it that the ancient gods of heaven mastered this autumn, but they fell in love with mortals and violated the way of heaven. He picked one eye and turned into this eyeball, and the original god was restored back to the giant worm, guarding the mortals. Mortal sons are born here and die here. Xu Sheng looked at the maze island in the distance, looked back at the young man, and said slowly, "In this way, he lived a life in his eyes." ”
Si Koulin looked at Xu Sheng's golden eyes, and followed him and said slowly, "In his eyes, he has lived for generations. "What do you want to think ,,,, such beautiful eyes?! Si Koulin was shocked by his own thoughts.
"Moreover, monsters are easy to grow here." Xu Sheng has always known that there must be those things in this world. "Can you feel it?"
"Yes, there." Si Koulin raised his hand and pointed to the lake in the distance. I think there's something there.
"What?"
"I don't know. Just think. Si Koulin closed his eyes and slowly felt, "It seems like this is the way it was." As if there was nothing. ”
Xu Sheng lowered his head, looked at the young man with his eyes closed, reached out and touched his head, the soft hair felt very delicate in his hands.
Si Koulin stiffened his head and didn't dare to move.
The two of them walked and watched the autumn scenery in this place full of yellow leaves, and the time was almost ready to go back. Xu Sheng let the young man lie on his shoulder, hugged his neck, used his internal qi, and climbed the rattan with his powerful arms to climb the cliff.
Return the way you came.
Xu Sheng couldn't remember the roads he had walked when he came, but the young man remembered them very well, as if he was being guided in the dark.
Back at the mansion, it was already dark.
The two had dinner. Xu Sheng returned to his room, opened the secret door, and took out the ancient book from the carpenter Weng.
After coming out, go to the next room.
Si Koulin was wearing his underwear, lying on the floor, with his long hair scattered, looking at a book.
Xu Sheng handed over the ancient book to Si Kolin, which was about some mental cultivation. It can strengthen his mind, not to be invaded by evil spirits, and not to be mentally unbalanced all the time.
Xu Sheng originally thought that this matter was in his own hands, and there was nothing wrong.
But in the middle of the night, Si Koulin suddenly broke into his room, shook him awake with a frightened look, hid behind him, rushed to the door of the room, and whispered, "There's something there." ”
Xu Sheng comforted the young man, looked at the door of the room, there was nothing, and asked, "What is it?" ”
"I don't know, it looks like a ghost." Si Koulin hesitated and said, "It doesn't seem to be." He seemed to understand what we were saying. ”
Xu Sheng stopped Si Koulin from continuing, drew his sword, and walked to the door of the room, but it was empty, nothing.
Si Koulin, who was following behind Xu Sheng, said, "He's gone." ”
"What?" Xu Sheng was still puzzled.
"I don't know, he has the aura of a ghost on him, but it doesn't look like after a person dies, but another powerful feeling, I have never felt it, and it even makes people feel eerie and cold when they think about it."
Xu Sheng was more concerned, "You say, can he understand our words?" "Ordinary imps are dead and unconscious, but this one is actually conscious?
"Yes." Si Koulin was still very nervous, if it was in the past, he would never tell anyone about these strange things, but now, he trusted Xu Sheng, "When I told you that there was something, he seemed to be surprised that I found him. And he left. ”
Xu Sheng thought, maybe it was the place where he went today, where something followed.
But he didn't say it.
Instead, he coaxed the boy back to sleep, but Si Koulin was very scared in his heart, that feeling, as if he had been vaguely feeling those things in the dark, but one day he suddenly saw the real thing. I don't dare to be alone.
Xu Sheng had no choice but to accompany him and wait until he fell asleep before going back to his room.
The next day, Xu Sheng asked someone to secretly order some tricks from the carpenter Weng to stop the ghost chicken from coming over and placing it in the yard.
Si Koulin was surprised, and dismantled several places to study, but with these things, he was not afraid of those ghosts and evil spirits.
A small courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.
In front of a scholar stood a black shadow.
Qi Wenxiu listened to Kuang Jue's lecture about the psychic proton in the Tai'an Palace.
It turned out that what came to the Tai'an Palace's Mansion today was not something from Qiushen Mountain, but the ghost beside Qi Wenxiu. Qi Wenxiu has actually sent someone to stare at Xu Sheng covertly. So what happened on Qiushen Mountain this morning was seen by Qi Wenxiu's spies and told Qi Wenxiu.
In the Autumn God Mountain, he can actually make the wild deer stop and obediently stop in front of him. The back is nowhere to be found. It wasn't until late in the evening that he suddenly appeared and returned to the palace. Qi Wenxiu thought about it, it was really not simple.
Qi Wenxiu thought that this young man also had a little special talent for understanding animal habits, and deliberately asked Kuang Jue to go to check, with Kuang Jue's ability, it was impossible for others to discover him.
Unexpectedly, this teenager could feel him.
And this Xu Sheng hides such a treasure, and he is silent.
I thought that this general, who was only twenty years old, was smart, but not deep enough. actually escaped this matter from his own eyes.
Looks like I'm going to have to go on my own tomorrow.
The next day, the palace of Tai'an.
Qi Wenxiu visited Xu Sheng.
Coincidentally, when Xu Sheng was talking with Qi Wenxiu in the courtyard, Si Koulin really came to Xu Sheng to teach him how to practice swords. Since the last time Si Koulin practiced sword with the coach, he was accidentally injured. And this kid really doesn't get close to other strangers. Except for Xu Sheng, he also thinks that everyone in front of him, he feels very restrained.
Since then, it has been Xu Sheng who has taught him personally.
Xu Sheng didn't know that Qi Wenxiu already knew about it, and he thought that the strange thing last night was because of Qiushen Mountain. So I didn't guard against it.
