Chapter 21: The Maple Leaf Banyan Tree
To find this person, I have to go to the Treasure Pavilion, and the Treasure Pavilion should have some news about him, although it is not ruled out that he will sell the medicine and leave like me, but whenever I have the opportunity, I should give it a try.
The fastest way is to meet the young man who has been rumored to be a god, and he has displayed the two fiery red spirit beads as the treasure of the town pavilion, and it is impossible not to be interested in the owner of the fiery red spirit beads.
I took a sip of tea, squeezed the cup hard, and said to Ying Sheng: "If I am the one who made the fiery red spirit bead, what is the chance of meeting Master Xuan?"
This time it was Kagekatsu's turn to squirt out a sip of tea.
......
Two days later, I got up to water the seedlings in the yard and saw the cat at the east gate again. This time she walked gently over the fence of the courtyard. I didn't bother to take care of her anymore, so I turned around to take care of the other seedlings, and when I turned back, she was gone.
It was already June, the weather was warm and comfortable, so I found a good spot in the yard and lay on a lazy chair to bask in the sun. The warm wind blew and I took a nap unconsciously. I had just opened my sleepy eyes, when I was pierced by a bright reflection and closed my eyes.
I raised my hand in front of my forehead, squinted my eyes, and saw a little white fox running from nowhere, looking like a clever ghost, hiding on the side of the gate of my house, with a piece of something as bright as a mirror in his mouth.
That's what sparkled my eyes. The light is very dazzling, and I look closely... This, the appearance of gold... Isn't it the gold leaf in my baggage?
I was so angry and annoyed. Insisting on stripping the beast's fox skin, I thought to myself with hatred that this fur was smooth and supple, and that it would be excellent to make a scarf in winter.
If before, I still had enough money, and this gold leaf was taken away by this playful beast, but in this part of life, I am still a newcomer who does not know how to plan.
Ever since I sold the fiery red spirit bead, I have lived a life of sitting on the mountain and eating the empty land. Before you know it, only this one piece is left. I regret it, I thought I would save some, this gold leaf should have no problem until I go back to Kongsang Mountain, after all, I don't want to play the trick of digging out the heart again.
This beast was so arrogant that he stole my gold leaf and shook my eyes in front of me. Seeing that I got up to fight, I rushed out of the gate with a "boom".
My door has always been tightly closed, and now it must be the ghost of this little demon fox again. It doesn't matter if it runs, but I have to chase my gold leaf.
I chased it out, and I saw it turn onto the street, and when I chased it again, it went straight to the roof, twice and three times, and finally ran directly out of the east gate.
I thought that my light skills were not bad, but I didn't expect to be led by the nose by this little beast all the time. Out of the east gate, it was carried around for dozens of miles, over the mound, through the grove, and finally on the edge of the lake, rushed ahead of it, blocking its way.
Even so, it also made me exhausted and out of breath. Seeing that he couldn't run away, this guy gently put the gold leaf in his mouth on the ground, and looked at me with fox eyes open and teary eyes. As soon as I was about to teach it a lesson, it instantly took the gold leaf back into its mouth, with three points of cunning and seven points of arrogance in its eyes, as if it had grasped a talisman.
I can't help it.
The moment the beast saw that I had lost consciousness, he threw the golden leaf into the water, turned his head and slipped into the grass on the edge of the lake.
I felt sorry for my gold leaf, and I didn't bother with it, and rushed into the water regardless of it.
The water of the lake is very clear, and the golden leaves are very conspicuous in the bottom of a large pebble lake, and it did not take much effort to find it.
I found it, but I was soaked.
When I went ashore, I felt really tired, so I carefully put the gold leaf into my sleeve, found a clean stone, and sat down to rest, but I could not take care of half of my manners. I tried to dry the water under my skirt, but the soaked shoes and socks were very unpleasant, so I simply took them off and left them aside.
The sun is still shining, but it is not easy to dry shoes and socks.
I straightened my feet, and saw that the ground was still clean, and there was a big rock behind me, so I simply leaned on it to bask in the sun.
Once you are relaxed, you will find that the lake and mountains in front of you are particularly beautiful. Even in such a warm weather, the entire lake is still shrouded in a white mist, as far as the eye can see, the blue waves are vast and hazy.
As far as the eye can see, the surrounding mountains are stacked and green, and several green islands in the middle of the lake loom, as if floating in the vast sea of smoke, as if far as near, a gust of wind comes, suddenly seems to have, a gust of wind goes, and then cares about nothing.
I haven't been out since I entered Biancheng, and I miss the scenery outside, and now that I see this beautiful scenery, I can't stop me from wanting to go to the island in the lake. It's just that I see that there is no boat house around, and I am afraid that if I want to come here, it is just a barren mountain around Biancheng.
Without doing anything, I picked up my shoes and socks, pinched the trick and flew to the island.
The soil on the island is soft, the air is fresh, and there are a few birdsong sounds from time to time. A few pomegranates were interspersed in the forest, and I walked slowly through a small ginkgo forest, and several steps and a short stone path appeared in front of me, which seemed to be a man-made structure. I thought it was just an uninhabited desert island, but there are still people living on this island.
From time to time, I smelled a dark fragrance on the tip of my nose, but I couldn't find any flowers and trees, so I continued to look forward, but what I saw was a large maple forest.
The maple leaves in June are in full bloom, like a hermit who does not know the world. I had long heard that the maple leaf forest in late autumn was bright red, but I had never really seen the real scene, so I decided that I must live here in late autumn.
In the depths of the maple forest, there is no one to see, but a huge banyan tree grows. The branches are intertwined, and the green leaves of the old banyan tree are overwhelming, layered on top of each other, as if half a green cloud has floated down from the air, and the air feels particularly cool and fragrant when you walk into this cloud. I jumped up to the tree, barefoot, with a shoe in one hand, and walked on the balance beam.
I walked cautiously from one end of the big banyan tree to the other. The dense foliage obscured my vision, and in the gap between the foliage, I could faintly see a white jade table in the empty space under the tree.
I craned my neck to look, and sure enough, there was a flask on the stone table, and two or three other leaves were scattered, and a few wine glasses were scattered around. I freed my left hand, lifted the leaves and looked at the trees, and saw a bench next to the stone table, on which seemed to be a man, because it was obscured from view, and I could only see a pair of silver-white boots embroidered with dark patterns.
