Chapter 162: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms
"It's so beautiful!"
Xue Yanran slowly spread her hands and then the peach blossom petals falling from the sky, the jade feet under the white skirt slowed down more and more, and the peach blossom forests on both sides of the official road embellished her holy pure white with a dreamy pink.

Meng Xiao's footsteps did not lag at all, he knew that Xue Yanran must be incomparably beautiful at this moment, but he really didn't dare to look at it, because if the disciples of the Jade Void Palace who followed closely behind him found that he had any undivided thoughts, they would have to greet him with a big axe.
It's just that this time he thought too much, because the crowd behind him had already been shocked by Xue Yanran's beauty at this moment, and the ghost would notice what his reaction was!
The capital of the Land of Light was originally called Huadu, and it was famous for the peach blossom forests that spread for ten miles on both sides of the official road outside the city gate. It's just a pity that this matter is because it violated the taboo of the monarch Gu Tianqi, so now people refer to this place as the capital.
"Haven't you been to the capital before?" Meng Xiao asked lightly as if he didn't care, for fear that there would be a slight strangeness in his tone and ask Huangfu to kill the night and wait for him to find out, but he knew that this thing had been staring at him tightly.
Xue Yanran shook her head, "This is the first time to come to the capital, have you been here before?"
Meng Xiao smiled: "I haven't been here either, it's just that the story of the ten miles of peach blossoms is too famous, so I already have some psychological preparation before coming." That's why I can do it indifferently, but I have to admit that it's really beautiful here. As he spoke, he reached out and pinched a petal.
"Story? There is still a story in these ten miles of peach blossoms? I have lived in the capital since I was a child, why have I never heard of it!"
Gu Shen approached curiously, and moved Meng Xiaola away from Xue Yanran without a trace. Of course, Meng Xiao understood what this buddy meant, secretly shook a look of encouragement, and said, "You don't know?"
Gu Shen shook his head, "I don't know, not only I don't know, but even they shouldn't know." As he spoke, he pointed with his chin to the man in the Hanging Mirror Division behind him.
Chen Qi snorted lightly, "We all grew up in the capital, and we haven't heard of any stories about the peach blossoms of ten miles, how can you know about the soil buns in a small village in the countryside?
Meng Xiao didn't care about this sour tone, in fact, since Xue Yanran no longer wore the veil, that kind of envious, jealous and hateful gaze had been surrounding them. It's just that he suddenly found that these people living in the capital really didn't know that story!
Gu Shen looked at Meng Xiao and suddenly asked silently, "Don't you know very little about the affairs of the capital, why do you know this story of ten miles of peach blossoms?"
Meng Xiao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I really didn't know anything, but this story was told to me by my mother before she went to bed when I was a child, and she said that it was a fairy tale that was a household name!"
"Aunt Qing's story must be very exciting, let's talk about it!" Xiao Qi took a few steps forward with interest on his face, grabbed the corner of Xue Yanran's clothes and pulled it towards Meng Xiao.
Meng Xiao was full of black lines, looking at Xiao Qi's prank-trick eyes, and really wanted to knead her fat face, Xue Yanran turned her hand and took Xiao Qi and said, "I want to hear it too." ”
Meng Xiao was helpless and said slowly: "This capital existed as the capital of a country in the previous dynasty, but this peach blossom forest did not exist in the previous dynasty. Later, in the trend of changing the dynasty, the most eye-catching stars entered the capital, and this peach forest was planted!"
"What are the brightest stars? do you mean the Founding Monarch Gu Tianqi and them?" Wu Miao asked curiously.
Meng Xiao nodded, "It's them, but it wasn't Gu Tianqi who planted this peach forest, but Bai Sandao, the beast king who was known as the first person under Qiankun at that time, planted it himself!"
"Hey, Beastmaster!" Gu Shen was startled, turned his head to look at the pink eyes, and suddenly seemed to think of something, saying that this peach forest had committed Gu Tianqi's taboo, but no one knew why. Could it be that Gu Tianqi had a conflict with Bai Sandao back then? But didn't it mean that they were brothers in life and death? In order to avenge Bai Sandao, Gu Tianqi also launched an all-out war against the Soul Refining Sect despite the opposition of the ministers!
Meng Xiao then said: "It is said that Bai Sandao laid down a huge piece of land in the Land of Light for Gu Tianqi back then, and when he was rewarding his meritorious deeds, Bai Sandao did not ask for any official position, but only made one request, that is, to plant this ten-mile peach blossom forest outside the capital!"
"Why?" Chen Qi asked, he liked to listen to gossip the most!
Meng Xiao replied: "Legend has it that at the beginning of the battle, Bai Sandao met a woman who was Zhong Yu Lingxiu, and the two fell in love at first sight! Bai Sandao had the responsibility to lay down a piece of the country for his brother at that time, so the two agreed that after the establishment of the country of light, he would plant ten miles of peach blossom forest outside the capital of the country of light, so that the woman would marry into the Bai family with the fragrant fragrance of flowers!"
"Wow, it's so romantic, if there is a man who can also plant ten miles of peach blossoms for me, then I ......"
"What are you, let's wait until I grow up on the washboard!" Xiao Qi clasped his hands into fists and looked like a who was suddenly hit by Gu Shen. And Gu Shen's punishment was two scratches comparable to the speed of sound for the little monkey!
"And what happened later?" Xue Yanran asked softly as she looked at the peach blossoms flying all over her eyes.
"Later?" Meng Xiao shrugged his shoulders, "Later, Bai Sandao died in the battle of Silent Hill before he married her!"
Speaking of the Battle of Silent Hill, everyone regretted that a proud son of heaven who had the most hope of being promoted to the Qiankun Dao Fruit in a hundred years died like this!
Speaking of which, it is almost certain that it is a tragic story, when people sighed for the beast king Bai Sandao, Gu Shen asked with a strange expression: "Bai Sandao is dead, what about that woman?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Meng Xiao, their eyes full of inquiry. In fact, Meng Xiao also asked this question back then, but it's a pity that Meng Xiao and his mother are a casual person, so they didn't tell Meng Xiao the story at all!
Meng Xiao shook his head after spreading his hands and making everyone unsatisfied, but this story made Xue Yanran's eyes deeper and deeper, and after struggling for a long time, she seemed to have made some decision, and turned her head and said, "Mr. Meng, Yanran has a reluctant request, I don't know if you can agree?"
Everyone was stunned, Meng Xiao looked at Xue Yanran, who was full of seriousness and seriousness, and suddenly had a feeling that it would be very troublesome if he agreed, but suddenly a sneering smile from the other party over the past few days flashed in his mind, and a fire surged in his heart, "You say!"
"Senior sister, the master has been waiting for us for a long time, let's hurry back to the Yuxu Palace!" Huangfu didn't wait for Xue Yanran to speak before he stepped forward and said hurriedly, he couldn't help but be in a hurry, although he didn't know what she was going to do, but he was really afraid that once he asked for an exit, he would never be able to recover.
Xue Yanran paused for a long time and was silent, Wu Miao watched the three of them fall silent at the same time, and naturally thought of some possibilities. His eyes unconsciously looked at Shang Rong, except for the disciples of the Jade Void Palace and Meng Xiao, no one knew what a rare opportunity he had given up in order to be with Shang Rong. He knew that feeling, at this time, he suddenly saw it from Xue Yanran's body. In just a moment, he seemed to understand something, but Xue Yanran was not him, and Meng Xiao was not Shang Rong!
"Well, in fact, if there is anything that the senior sister wants to do, she can let the junior brothers do it for you. If we can't do it, let's help come up with ideas!" Wu Miao stepped forward with a smile and interjected, his heart was towards Meng Xiao, if he could, he really didn't want to say this, but it was related to Meng Xiao's life.
Huangfu also felt that his previous words were a little anxious, and at this time, he heard that Wu Miao gave the steps and hurriedly said: "That's right, senior sister, you say it, Mr. Meng has been busy for senior sister for a long time, how can he trouble people again?"
Xue Yanran raised her head and said lightly: "Although I have been able to suppress the negative emotions easily, I still feel that anger every once in a while, I hope to play another game with Mr. Meng before leaving!"
“......”
Everyone was speechless for a while, please, big sister, isn't it just a game of chess? What's the matter with you making such a grand fuss!
Meng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's very simple, find a quiet place." ”
Gu Shen continued: "There is a pavilion five miles ahead, and the stone tables and chairs are all ready-made, just for playing chess. ”
"So that's where it is!" After Meng Xiao finished speaking, Xue Yanran nodded lightly.
Huangfu breathed a sigh of relief while leading his disciples to follow closely, in their hearts, this was probably the last twist and turn of the day, and then as long as the senior sister returned to the Jade Void Palace with them, this ordeal would be over!
It's just that accidents always happen inadvertently, and there are people in the pavilion, a monk, a scholar, and a domineering young man! )
