Chapter 64: Quiet

Yannan in the morning, perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it with the Qiwu forest, there is no grassland here, and there are not many herdsmen, some only see the endless forest, the branches and green leaves, occasionally many small animals run out, jump on the branches in front of the thatched hut, it seems to be looking at the foreign guests.

When Li Yan got up, Qing Shi had already prepared breakfast for her, a bowl of clear porridge, with some pickled side dishes, which surprised her, she had only been in Yannan for a few days, but the diet here was indeed different from theirs, and it was rare to see these. But at the end of the night, she was indeed hungry, but years of upbringing did not make her rude.

Qing Shi served another bowl for her, and saw that she was very elegant eating one bite at a time, and did not speak, these etiquettes may be things flowing in their bones for them, and they have been like this since they were young, but it is difficult to change. "You eat first, I'll go outside and deal with it. ”

Li Yan didn't say anything yet, and when she saw that he finished speaking, she left, although she was curious, she still finished eating before getting up. He looked around and put away his rice bowl before stepping out of the door. There were leaves on the ground, and the leafy treetops she could still see last night seemed to have been looted. She had learned some fur from the palace guards, and seemed to know something.

Skirting the front room, she looked back. Qing Shi was taking care of the fruits and vegetables he planted, if it was impossible for Li Yan not to be surprised, she really believed at this moment that the former prince of the king, the young man who became famous at a young age, was really gone.

"What, not used to it?" Qing Shi straightened up and asked with a smile. The girl over there seemed to be stunned by what she saw. "The Qing Shi you know is just a vulgar man bound by the dust net, and the life I yearn for now is what I yearn for. ”

Li Yan shook her head and said, "I envy you, we were born in a cage, and I envy you for having the courage to break free from this fate." Now that I am away from the high-rise buildings and the spacious, I am guarding a thatched hut, which is natural. ”

"I don't believe in fate, all the fates of my life are written by myself. Qing Shi sorted out the things in the garden, straightened his clothes, and walked to Li Yan's side, "Let's go, take you to see the beautiful scenery of Qiwu Forest, and you can pick up some beads at this time." ”

Li Yan couldn't keep up with Qing Shi's train of thought, and when she saw him stretching out his hand towards her, she hesitated for a moment, after all, she put her hand in his palm, and then she felt the sound of hunting in her ears, and she closed her eyes in fright. There was a joking voice in his ears, "Silly girl, open your eyes and see." ”

Li Yan wanted to refute, but she couldn't help but open her eyes curiously, and she was instantly attracted by the beautiful scenery below. When I saw it again, I was holding her hand, and I could fly in the air with ease, and I was curious after all, "Qingshi, who did you learn from?"

Qing Shi didn't know how to answer for a while, since he was killed when he was young and went to Qingqiu to pass through the netherworld, he encountered too many incredible things, but who would believe him when he said it, it was better not to say anything. "Immortals, but I don't know which way of immortals they are, and what they learn is also fur, but it's just some wind control techniques. ”

Li Yanhu suspected, none of them had ever seen an immortal, this was all a person in myths and legends, she thought that it was about Qing Shi who was unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of her teacher, so she made up a beautiful story for him. "I know now why you're no longer greedy for imperial power and wealth. "Such a beautiful scenery, such a beautiful scenery, a fresh breeze and idyllic, if she doesn't want to wake up.

"The years are quiet, and the present world is stable. Qing Shi smiled, and then led Li Yan to fall on a ground, in front of which was a small pool, and there were many small lands in the middle, the size of several people. "Do you know why this place is called Qiwu Forest?"

Li Yan shook her head, her impression of Yannan was still in the grassland, and there was also the frontier, if she hadn't come here in person, she probably wouldn't have known that there was such a scenery outside the Saiwai. "You guy, you like to hang your appetite, say it quickly. ”

"The phoenix does not inhabit the sycamore, does not eat the bamboo, does not drink the liquan, and the forest is named after it. Red is a phoenix, blue is a luan, I will take you to see Qingluan. "Qiwu Forest is rarely populated, and he has lived there for many years, and one day he accidentally entered the Qingluan habitat.

"Qingluan!" Li Yan's eyes lit up suddenly, there are thousands of strange things in the world, she hasn't seen too much, she didn't expect to see so much on this trip to Yannan, "Qingshi, you take me to see it, don't let Qingluan leave in a while." ”

Qing Shi saw the excitement between her eyebrows, smiled and patted her head, and said: "Little girl, what's the hurry, Qingluan lives here all the year round, how can you run away in a while, I'll take you all the way to pick up beads first." ”

"What beads?" Li Yan was puzzled, there was something more important in front of her than looking at Qingluan, her mood was not on any beads at all, "Is there still a pearl picked up for nothing?"

"There are no pearls picked up here, but there are pearls of the night. "Every morning, when the tide of the South China Sea rises, some night pearls from the South China Sea will flow into Qingyue Lake in the Qiwu forest with the seawater, and some will remain in the grass.

Li Yan's eyes shrank suddenly, remembering that when she first met Qing Shi yesterday, the lights in the house were flickering, but she had never seen a candle flame, "Night Pearl? Rare Treasure Night Pearl, Qiwu Forest Can Be Picked Up?" As if she heard some joke, she couldn't believe it.

"Do you think that everyone can live in the Wuwu Forest? The days and nights here are cold, the human body itself is not well adapted, and there are many animals and birds in the forest, most of them are not good, and most of those travelers come and go in a hurry, how do you know this? When the sky is brighter, these night pearls will flow into Qingyue Lake with the flowing water, and so on, so few people know. "In the eyes of Qing Shi, these night pearls are not much different from ordinary beads, and the only use is that they can be illuminated.

Li Yan followed Qing Shi, no longer spoke, very curious about the surroundings, saw Qing Shi around the crooked stream, squatted down in a bush, her eyes signaled to her, she went up to open the grass, and saw that there was indeed a huge night pearl there, shining in the daylight with a dark and turquoise light.

Born in the royal family, she can be regarded as having seen rare treasures, but she is still shocked by the things in front of her, all say that the deep sea produces pearls, but no one has ever told her that she can see such treasures when the grass is pulled out. "Why is the Night Pearl here?"

"I don't know why, but I followed the direction of this stream all the way to the South China Sea, and I guess it probably came from the South China Sea. As for why the South China Sea produces night pearls, I don't know. "When he came one by one in the Qing Dynasty, he was also curious at the beginning, tracing back to the source, but there was no trace of him when he arrived in the South China Sea.

"The pearl in the sky falls into the dust, I have heard that there are sharks in the South China Sea, the water dwells like fish, does not waste weaving, its eyes can cry beads, so there is a poet cloud 'the sea and the moon beads have tears', we have never seen the shark people, maybe the sharks cry tears into beads, that bead refers to not necessarily pearls. ”

"The world is so big, there are no wonders, who knows. However, every full moon night in the South China Sea, you can always see immortals haunting. Qing Shi bent down again and picked up a night pearl, but there was no surprise in his eyes, perhaps these rare treasures in the eyes of others were just things illuminated at night in his eyes, not very unusual. He told the story, and when he saw Li Yan's look of disbelief, he explained again: "What I saw with my own eyes is a very beautiful fairy. ”

"Depending on the wisdom of the people, maybe I will be a male fairy when I go. It's too illusory, whatever you want, but in this case, I must go to the South China Sea to see and see. Li Yan didn't think so, and the two of them stopped all the way, and a cave appeared in front of them in the wooded stream.

Qing Shi took Li Yan's hand, signaled her not to be impulsive, and whispered: "Qingluan doesn't like people, we can only watch from afar." ”

Li Yan nodded, and walked lightly into the cave, there was a trickle in it, and the light was very dim, when they looked up, they saw that there was a very high and narrow hole at the top of Qingluanwo, and the sunlight only shone slightly from there, maybe they were there in the past.

The cave was dim but there was a green light, and Li Yan guessed that Qingluan might have taken the night pearl outside and threw it in the nest, so it didn't look dark here. She tilted her head and asked in a low voice, "Qingshi, why didn't you see any of them?"

Qing Shi chuckled, pointed to the hole in front of him, and said, "Don't worry, it's about time to go out to forage, the young birds are still in the nest, and they will come back in a while." ”

"I found out that you know too much, and it's a pity that my father didn't recruit you to make a book in Hanlin. Or, next time I go back to Beijing, you can go back with me. ”

"No matter how good Fengjing is, maybe I will be allowed to pick up the night pearls every day, and I will be allowed to fly with birds? When he was young, he didn't see through this, but now fame and fortune are like floating clouds, and everyone has their own way of living.

"You're asking for a lot, but it's a good place to forget about mundane things. But when people eat grains, where can they be carefree and carefree? When Li Yan said, she was very lonely, she was born in the emperor's family, and she was born with some responsibilities that ordinary people did not carry. When she looked up at that side, she was stunned, she pointed to the one over there, and her fingers trembled a little, "Qing, Qingshi, is that Qingluan?" ”

However, while speaking, a pair of Qingluan hovered in the air, slowly landing from the entrance of the cave, and it seemed that they had not yet noticed that there was a stranger in the cave.

Li Yan was afraid of disturbing the pair of Qingluan, so she didn't dare to speak, but it was only a quarter of an hour, and the pair of Qingluan flew out around the original road again, so she straightened up and asked: "I heard that Luan danced solo, and for the first time I knew that the phoenixes were in pairs, and the Luan birds were also in pairs, how did you find out here in the Qing Dynasty." ”

Qing Shi just wanted to answer, but when he saw it, Li Yan said to herself: "It seems that your opportunity is very good, keep the countryside and be happy." ”

"My peace of mind is home. Qing Shi guided Li Yan out of the cave, the outside was already bright, and the golden crow hung in the air, which was different from the dim light in the cave, so that Li Yan couldn't open her eyes for a while, and when she heard the words clearly, she suddenly remembered her family in the Forbidden Garden of the Deep Palace.

I asked Lingnan if it should be good, but he said, this place of peace is my hometown.
