Text Chapter 9, Spirit Shirt
After a while, Huang Qiaoqiao came back with two sets of silk clothes, one green and one pink. Seeing that Li Bingtong's upper and lower lips were also stained with pink juice, he couldn't help but smile.
"This is a green robe, which is for your younger brother. This is a pink dress, and it is for your sister Zhen'er. In the past, there was a kind of magical empty mulberry tree growing on the Wuji Peak of Ziyang Mountain in the west, and the silk spit out by the fairy silkworm fed by the empty mulberry leaves was called fairy silk, which was two sets of clothes made by the mother with fairy silk. Wear it on your body, be in the thunder and fire and not be afraid of burning, sink in the ice water without soaking in the cold, walk on the river and sea without sinking, and fall into the void to save your life. Moreover, when worn on the body, it will grow as it grows taller, and it will shrink accordingly when the body is thin and shrinking. Today, I am fortunate to have met the two of you, my jealous little brother, and my little sister who is kind and true, so I will give it to you. ”
After hearing this, the two hurriedly stood up and said in unison: "This is my sister's treasure, we can't accept it!"
"Don't do that, you two sit down!
The two of them sat back in the long wicker chairs. Qiaoqiao sat between them, put her arms around their necks, hugged them in her arms, caressed their faces with both hands, and spoke to them gently.
"I haven't finished telling you yet, actually, this is a pair of spirit shirts, worn by two men and women of the same age and with similar hearts, such as twin brothers and sisters, or brothers and sisters who are similar to twins who have a very good relationship, or a couple who have a heart-to-heart relationship, or a couple who understand each other, it will work better when wearing it. People who are thousands of miles away, wearing it, can sense each other with each other, and even think about each other's thoughts, think about each other's thoughts, and can connect with each other's hearts and minds, seek good fortune and avoid evil; ”
"Is it really so magical?" asked Li Bingtong in surprise.
"Of course, the key to why these two sets of clothes are so magical is the source of the fairy silk of these two sets of clothes and the jade ornaments on the belt. ”
"Sister, don't sell it, tell us about it. Zhen'er was even more curious.
"The raw material of these two clothes, fairy silk, one comes from the pupal cocoon formed on an empty mulberry tree, and the other comes from the pupal cocoon formed on another empty mulberry tree. In other words, an empty mulberry tree finally spun a spirit rhino shirt, and two empty mulberry trees finally spun a pair of spirit rhino shirts. But these two trees are very special. ”
"What's so special?" asked Zhen'er with curious eyes.
"Listen to my mother, these two empty mulberry trees originally grew together from the same place after two seeds were blown down by the wind, so after they grew into saplings, the two small stems grew tightly together. Just in time for the fifth ancestor of the Ziyang faction, Ziyang Zhenren, went up the mountain to look for the legendary green maple trees, but the green maple trees were not found, but they stumbled upon them, thinking that the two trees would grow together, and they would compete for sunlight and nutrients and interfere with each other, and as a result, no one could grow well, so they asked someone to dig them out and want to separate them and recultivate them. As a result, after digging out, it was found that although the exposed trunks were attached to each other and could be separated, the roots of the two small trees were tightly entangled, and they could not be separated at all, and some of the roots could not distinguish who belonged to whom. The disciples who were in charge of planting the trees were in a dilemma, what should they do? Then I went to ask the master to tell the master? The leading senior brother said, do you need to trouble the master again for this little matter? After that, he drew his sword, and with a 'click' sound, the entangled roots were split between the two trunks. Dig a pit five steps to the east and plant the one on the east, and dig a pit five steps west and plant the one on the west. ’......”
"Three years later, in the autumn, Ziyang Zhenren slipped into this place again, and found that there were two empty mulberry trees with strange crowns, and the branches on the canopy were neither growing towards the sun nor growing in the shape of a spherical crown in all directions, but all of them were crowded and stretched in the middle of the two trees. The middle part of the two trees is thick and thick, and the outer parts of the east and west ends of the two trees are not only sparse, but the branches also turn back to the middle when they grow, as if the sun only shines on the middle of the two trees and the ends are always dark. The ancestor felt very strange, remembering that he had let people plant empty mulberry trees here, so he asked the original disciples to call, only to know the actual situation at the beginning, and his heart suddenly swirled with remorse, and he had no choice but to plant it for three years, and the wood had become a boat, and it could not be restored, so it could only be so. But the ancestor is the ancestor, he saw the tree decorated with silver silkworm chrysalis cocoons, suddenly in his mind flashed, so he called my mother's master Chong Lingzi, took my mother and her sisters to pick back the cocoons respectively, and then boiled the cocoons respectively, each spun a man and a woman two sets of clothes, and found a piece of the best blue light jade from the peak, cut it in half and ground it into two gems, and inlaid it on the belt buckle of the two shirts. At that time, my father and mother were preparing for the wedding, so I gave it to my father and mother as a wedding dress. In the next period of time, if there is anything that needs to be done down the mountain, let my father and my mother wear this suit and go together. As a result, a year or two later, I tried out the mystical uses I had described earlier. Since then, this kind of clothing has been called 'Lingxi shirt' and has become one of the treasures of Ziyang Mountain. Because there are only two trees, the amount of cocoons produced is limited, so there are not many ready-to-wear clothes, and the fairy silk produced on each tree every year is enough to weave a piece, and there are few left; This set was originally specially made for me by my mother and left for me, but now I have left it useless. It's also a chance for you two to meet me today, so I'll give it to you both!"
"I definitely don't want it, my sister will keep it first, and she will definitely use it in the future. Li Bingtong said resolutely. These two sets of clothes are so precious, how can they accept such a valuable gift from someone just because they happened to help someone once?
"Sister, what happened to my uncle and aunt, and how did you end up in Fengluo Town on the East China Sea?" asked her softly.
"You two are still too young, there are some things, when you grow up, when you have a chance in the future, I will tell you two slowly, okay? I talk too much now, and you may not be able to understand it. After Qiaoqiao finished speaking, he sighed faintly.
"My sister is older than us, but how much bigger?" said to her softly, sitting in her arms.
Huang Qiaoqiao sighed faintly and said with a smile: "You little girl, what do you understand?"
"Sister, you have a beautiful face and a beautiful heart, and now you will assert the things of a lifetime, and I think it's too early to say that you don't need this spiritual rhino shirt. Zhen'er stuck to her point.
"Anyway, your sweet little mouth makes my sister like it. ”
"Sister, I think Zhen'er is right. Li Bingtong said.
"You're big!" Qiao Qiao said, flicking his head slightly. "Do you recognize me as a sister?"
"Why don't you recognize it?" Li Bingtong got up, grabbed Zhen'er's hand with one hand, and grabbed Huang Qiaoqiao's hand with the other. "Zhen'er, let's have a sister worship ceremony with Sister Qiaoqiao today, and marry Jinlan, okay?"
He said with sincerity, his nose was sore, and his eyes overflowed with crystal tears.
The sudden traffic accident and the bizarre encounter in just a few days made him lose all the relatives and friends he knew well. Traveling to the Dahua Dynasty thousands of years ago, he fell into a completely strange ancient world alone, and his heart was already lonely. And when he learned about his image in this world, he felt that he was a superfluous person. Except for Miss Zhen'er and the new mother in the Hou Mansion, he felt that everyone in this world was a stranger to him, and they all had inexplicable hostility towards him. But the sister named Huang Qiaoqiao in front of him, although she had just met, could treat him as a younger brother as kindly, and even give them such a priceless treasure, how could he not be moved?
"Good!" replied in a loud voice, and stood up as well. "The three of us will marry Jinlan today and become sisters and sisters with different surnames. ”
Huang Qiaoqiao was really infected and moved by the innocence and innocence of these two children.
"Okay! I agree with the ceremony of worshipping your sister, but it's not the marriage of the three of you, you two worship me as a sister, and I just recognize you two as younger brothers and sisters. The two of you are a couple, closer than your brother and sister, so you don't need to do any more worship ceremonies. Huang Qiaoqiao said, smiling secretly.
"It's okay, anyway, the two of us have long been called brothers and sisters. Li Bingtong said, his face flushed slightly.
Zhen'er hurriedly turned her face away and followed Huang Qiaoqiao to find something.
So the three of them put on the incense burner in the green courtyard and lit three pillars of incense. Weaver girl Huang Qiaoqiao was in the middle, Li Bingtong and Bai Suzhen were on both sides, facing the gods in the south, kowtowing and bowing, and making an oath of true qing.
"I, Huang Qiaoqiao, kneel here to worship the gods, recognize Li Bingtong as my younger brother, recognize Bai Suzhen as my sister, and swear to treat the two of them as my closest relatives. ”
"I, Li Bingtong (I Bai Suzhen), kneel down here to worship the gods, recognize Huang Qiaoqiao as my sister, and swear to treat her as our two of our own dearest, if there is disobedience, it will be the anger of people and gods, the sky is thundering, and ten thousand arrows pierce the heart. ”
After the three of them finished worshipping and sat for a while, Huang Qiaoqiao took the spirit rhino shirt and gave it to the two, but the two said that they would not accept it if they died.
"So be it. These two sets of clothes will officially be yours from today onwards, but I will keep them for you for the time being, and when you are older, I will send them to the two of you again when I have a chance. ”
"Since my sister said so, we respect our orders. ”
Li Bingtong replied impatiently, and then smiled slyly at Bai Suzhen. Bai Suzhen also smiled slyly.
"You two little guys, what's the bad idea?"
"Hehe! no, sister!" Zhen'er smiled, "However, we have been out for too long, it is time to go back, Madame will worry about us!"
"That's right, but you're still hungry? I'll make you something to eat." ”
"At noon, we were already full at the food stall in the Drum Tower, and now we are still uncomfortable? Sister, you touch your stomach!" Li Bingtong said with a smile.
"Little one, you're not full, but you're not hungry either, well, since you two have been out for too long, go back quickly." ”
"Sister, you have to be more careful in the future, it's best not to go out and set up a stall alone. Zhen'er instructed like a big girl.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful, it is estimated that Long Qishao will not dare to come over again for the time being. I quickly sold the remaining umbrellas, and then rushed back to Fengluo Town to find my father. ”
"Sister, if you have time to come to our Hou Mansion to play, we will also come to the Bell and Drum Tower Market to find you, or come here to see you. ”
"Okay. Even if I went to Fengluo Town, it wasn't far away, wasn't it only 200 miles? ”
