This red lotus has been growing in the pond for tens of thousands of years.

Tens of thousands of years ago, Ziyi Shenjun went to Lingshan to go to the Buddha's Bilan puja, and the Buddha entertained guests with a few lotus seeds.

The next day, I went to dig the purple mud of the Tianshan Mountains to accumulate fertilizer, and after a few hundred years, a pool of white lotus bloomed, and only the central essence of this pond weakly bloomed a red lotus.

Ziyi was overjoyed, and took special care of this red lotus from then on.

Unexpectedly, after 10,000 years, the red lotus actually cultivated into a human form and turned into a slim girl.

Ziyi valued this girl very much, taught her to practice all kinds of multiplicative methods, and now she has become the first natural immortal in Danxia Mountain.

On this day, Qixia went to the red lotus room to learn needlework embroidery. The spring light is just right, the lively sunlight spills down obliquely through the Qiansha window, two people sit on the Luohan couch, one hugs an embroidered brace, a bunch of colorful needles and threads on the kang table, and a pot of ambergris jasmine slices simmer slowly on the small gold stove.

Qixia took a needle to scratch on the scalp, embroidered a few stitches, and even if the embroidery was finished with a lily, she looked at it for a long time and showed it to the red lotus.

Honglian nodded and said with a smile: "Sister's needlework is becoming more and more lean, this flower is embroidered like a living one, but the color of the butterfly is a little mixed, it looks a little charming, it is not as elegant as plain." ”

Qixia smiled, pointed to the butterfly and said: "This is embroidered according to the butterflies in the garden, the finch said that this butterfly is beautiful, it is really eyeless, and it is cheesy to death." After speaking, he leaned over to look at the phoenix embroidered by the red lotus.

The red lotus embroidered the light ochre phoenix pattern on a light cyan fine linen, and the large white peony flower bloomed in the middle, the embroidery work is complex and delicate, the stitches are neat and symmetrical, and it is exquisite and good-looking.

She admired it and asked, "Is this the clothes embroidered for the Divine Monarch, what a skillful work!" Our gentleman likes the phoenix pattern the most, but it is too time-consuming and laborious. ”

Honglian pursed her lips and smiled: "It's good if he likes it, what is he afraid of with some effort, but I'm afraid that Baba will do it, and he won't wear it if he can't wear it a few times and throw it there." ”

"The clothes made by my sister are the most fitting and good-looking, how can Shenjun be willing to lose them! The yellow shirt with cloud brocade pattern made last time, which matches the shoes and socks, is still worn! ”

Honglian poked Qixia's forehead with her finger and said with a smile: "You know everything, at a young age, you have a lot of ears." ”

She giggled and said, "Sister doesn't know that our finches are jack-of-all-trades!" Who's on this island has what to eat for dinner, what time has it done homework, it doesn't know anything, and I am almost annoyed to death by the constant noise when I come back every day. After that, he tilted his head and thought for a while, leaned over to the red lotus, and asked quietly: "Sister, you said that our Shenjun is a phoenix bird, do you have to find a female phoenix to get married?" ”

Honglian listened to her interesting question, and smiled unconsciously: "There are only three phoenixes in this world, one is our king's mother Xiujie Shangxian, who is now living in seclusion in Lingshan, and is known as the Doumu Bodhisattva; One is the Xiaguang Shengyuan Venerable of Chiyun Mountain, who is a male god who is in charge of the fortunes and misfortunes of the world; One is our god king, who do you say we will marry? ”

Qixia listened to Honglian talk about Shenjun's mother, and asked curiously, "I heard that Shenjun's mother is a great immortal. ”

Honglian nodded and said: "Yes, when the Three Realms War was in turmoil, Xiujie Shangxian did a lot of things to benefit the world, and his mana and Taoism are boundless, and he is a true Daluo Immortal." And when she was in danger, she saved the current Emperor of Heaven and raised the Emperor of Heaven as an adult. ”

Qixia couldn't help but praise when she heard this: "No wonder the gods in the world have such respect for the gods, even the Wuyue emperors are courteous to the gods." ”

"Our lord is respected by the gods and demons of the world, not just because of his family background!" Honglian Zhengse said: "The king has practiced the supreme Shenyuan method since he was a child, and worshiped Shennong as a teacher to learn medical skills, and has gone through countless calamities and treated countless immortals and demons, so that he has today's status, and it is also appropriate to be respected by others." ”

Qixia nodded and said, "Let's just say that the son-in-law of the Dragon King of the South China Sea is sick in the dark, and he has eaten all the good medicines in the world, and he can't cure the leprosy on his body." We went to Shenjun alone, put him in the Qiankun bottle and practiced three times, and his illness was cured, don't you think it's strange? ”

Honglian said: "It's nothing, the mother of the former Demon Lord accidentally injured her eye, and it was the Lord who healed her." What she changed was a pair of spirit ape eyes on the Tianshan Mountain, which were several times better than when she was original, and this old lady was originally a mortal! In the end, the gentleman gave her another pill of pills, and she extended her life for thousands of years, and the old lady is still alive now, and I don't know if her body is hard or not?! ”

Qixia's eyes lit up when she heard this, picked up the gold tea bowl on the table, took a sip of hot tea, and said with a slight smile: "This demon lord •••••• is really a filial son!" Every time the peaches on Nanshan are ripe, he has to pick a basket and bring them to his mother, are you afraid that his mother will not have peaches to eat? ”

"This demon lord is calculating! Not only peaches, plums, and apricots, but all the fruits on this mountain, his mother and mother have eaten them. But it's no wonder that his mother is a mortal, living one more day is a day, and eating more fruits from the fairy world to prolong her life. Honglian said and stuck the needle in the embroidered cloth, thought about it sideways, and asked, "Has my sister seen the Demon Lord?" ”

"I saw it once, I was picking peaches in Nanshan that day, and it happened that he was there." Qixia tilted her head and thought for a moment, "This Demon Monarch is gentle and elegant, long and handsome, he really doesn't look like a leader of the Demon Realm!" My Dao Demon Lord should have a blue face and fangs, but he is a white-faced scholar! It's a little similar to the Divine Monarch, like the brother of the Divine Monarch! As she said that, she remembered the handsome appearance of the Demon Lord, and she blushed unconsciously and quickly lowered her head.

Honglian looked at her crimson face and asked quietly, "Who do you think is more handsome, the Divine Monarch or the Demon Monarch?" ”

Qixia covered her mouth and smiled: "Naturally, the Demon Lord is more elegant and handsome!" The appearance of the Divine Monarch was a little more terrifying. Sister, what do you say? ”

In terms of appearance, the Divine Monarch and the Demon Monarch are both outstanding and good-looking, that is, temperament and demeanor, and they are also among the best in heaven and earth.

Ziyi's appearance and temperament are cold and lonely, like the snow lotus on the mountain that day, proudly opening on the top of the white snow-capped mountain.

And the Demon Lord Moyin is gentle and elegant, more like a small cluster of green bamboos in front of the mountain gate, standing tall and green among the strange rocks in the mountains.

Qixia loves that clump of bamboo, although the snow lotus is beautiful, but it can only be viewed from a distance, and cannot be enjoyed in front of her.

In the end, Ziyi is more like a god, while Mo Yin is like a friendly boy next door.

When Honglian heard her say this, her heart was put down, it turned out that this little girl didn't love Shenjun, and she was too careful.

She steadily refilled the pot of hot water in the teapot, handed a plate of pine candied fruit to Qixia, pinched her little face with her hand, and laughed: "Little Nizite has no vision!" I think it's better for us to be born! This demon lord is too feminine. ”

"It's not feminine, I think it's just right, I like men who are gentle, and they look more delicate," Qixia heard Honglian say that Mo Yin was feminine, and couldn't help but be anxious to defend him, and her face flew red again as she spoke, "This demon lord is a careful person, and he borrowed a basket that day and asked the maid to return a basket of Sakya fruits, saying that we don't have it on the mountain, so I sent it to try it." ”

Honglian covered her mouth and smiled: "You, you are an ancestor who eats!" A basket of fruits will buy you, I think in the future, you have to find a brother-in-law who can eat and pay attention to eating! ”

"Sister, don't care about me, I don't want to get married yet, but my sister is not a small one, and she is tens of thousands of years old, and if she doesn't marry, she will become an old girl." Qixia dragged the job there, peeled a hazelnut with her hand, put it in her mouth and chewed it.

Honglian picked up the work in her hand, gently stroked the phoenix pattern on it with her fingers, and sighed lowly.

"I know what my sister is thinking," Qixia put her hand on her cheeks and picked out the dried berries in the fruit bowl to eat, "Why didn't my sister say that she knew with Shenjun?" ”

Seeing that she asked directly, Honglian was not easy to prevaricate, and said with a faint smile: "I have something on my mind, but I am just self-inflicted, and my heart is on my sister, and my sister should cherish it." ”

Qixia ate dried berries by herself, and the dried berries were very chewy, and her teeth were sour. She swallowed a mouthful of spit, showed a smile with thin teeth of glutinous rice, and said: "Shenjun is my benefactor, teacher, in my heart, my sister and Shenjun are a match made in heaven." ”

When Honglian heard her say this, her cheeks turned crimson, and she said angrily: "Sister, don't say that, shame people!" You still have Sister Qingning in your heart, where is my place? Zuo is just a big housekeeper, how can he think about these things after being busy all day long! ”

Qixia saw that her face was blushing like a fire cloud in the sky, and said with a smile: "My sister blushing looks so good!" However, I think that Shenjun relies on his sister the most in his heart, and he has passed on all the Taoist forensic skills to his sister, and only my sister is the true inheritance of Shenjun among the immortals on this island, what doubts does my sister have?! What I envy the most is my sister, when I am also like my sister ••••••, go to the sky and the earth, and travel all over the world, that is called the infinite scenery! ”

"But Qingning ••••••."

"That day, Shenjun gossiped with me, and said ••••••, the only woman on this island is my sister who is the most virtuous, intelligent, and understanding. •••••• Qingning is beautiful, and her temperament is a little irritable, not like a cultivating fairy woman, but like a jealous and sour woman in the mortal world, just ignore her! Qixia learned Ziyi's tone, finished speaking, and went to eat the dried berries on the plate again.

After eating the dried berries, he turned around and ate the crab and cucumber seeds in the box, and said while eating: "Sister, listen to what this means?" Isn't there only a sister in my heart? ”

Honglian was stunned when she heard this. After staying for a long time, he asked silently, "Did the king really say that?" ”

Qixia cursed: "That's what you said! If you tell a lie, you will not die well! ”

Honglian hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, and grinned: "Okay, okay, swear with such a gambling curse!" I know you're really temperamental! I will never tell a lie. ”

"It's good that my sister knows my heart, and I only tell my sister in this way, and I can't let others listen to it." Qixia said solemnly.

"I know, my sister is not a layman in the world, and she is not just blindly innocent and childish, her sister has her own merits in her heart, but it is not something that we people can understand."

"My sister said this and this, it is not in vain that we have a fellowship, and there is finally someone in this world who can understand my heart. I, ah, •••••• just want to go to the red and mundane world to experience it, so that I can appreciate this life. When she said this, her two beautiful big eyes looked out of the window, "The world says that immortals are good, but I think being a fairy is the most boring." ”

Honglian heard her surprise, hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered, "Grandma! That's unspeakable! After thousands of years of penance, it's not as good as your words! ”

Qixia pushed her hand away and sneered: "My sister has been bound by these rules and precepts for too long, so naturally she can't think of it, I just say a word and I'm scared like this." ”

While the two were talking, the finches flew in through the window, "The two girls are chatting so lively, I don't know what happened outside!" ”

"What's the big deal?" The two of them asked in unison.

Que'er chirped: "Our Qingning girl was almost eaten by a big fish, but it was thanks to the patrol Yaksha on the sea that reported to the Divine Monarch in time, so she was rescued." ”

Red Lotus Qi said: "How was she eaten by a big fish?" Our island has always been calm, where are the big fish? ”

"The girl doesn't know, this Qingning girl is going to the deep sea to catch the green god fish, because the god said to make a pair of quivers, the fish skin of this green fish is a sacred object, and it is suitable to make an arrow bag. When Miss Qingning heard about it, she went to the deep sea alone, and this time it was more than ten days. The green fish is extremely fierce and cunning, and has divine power, Qing Ning fought it, but he lost a lot of patrol yaksha to the rescue, and sent another one back to report the news, and the god went in time to save Qing Ning. Now it's crooked in the arms of the Divine Monarch! ”
