Chapter 37: Look at the Sea
"Xiyun, doesn't it matter if you have a back injury?" Before leaving, the maiden was a little worried about Xiyun's injury.
"It's okay, it's just that the skin is broken a little, and now it's all scabbed, and Jasper has re-medicated me just now."
"If it still hurts, we'll go see the sea another day."
"Well, I really want to see the sea, let's go." Xiyun pulled the maid and walked outside the inn.
I didn't take a closer look at the building of the inn last night, Xiyun is only white today, these stone buildings are a mixed building of wood and stone, stone walls, wood is the roof, the overall structure is still somewhat similar to the wooden house, that is, the windows are not so exquisite, and the more simple lattice frame also looks rustic.
Xiyun and the two of them got into a carriage, the two maids of the maid, Cuiwei and Taosi, and Xiyun's Ningxiang and Jasper took another carriage.
The maiden opened the curtains and let the wind blow in, she gave Xiyun a cup of tea, and drank a cup herself, thinking of something, and asked, "Xiyun, what have you heard of all the way?" β
"What did you hear?" Xiyun took the teacup and tasted it, this tea is fragrant, good tea, and I am satisfied with the tea.
"Is it a rumor about the "Heluo Nakshatra Chart"? β
"It seems that when I heard the legend of my father, I mentioned this picture."
"It is said that this picture is an artifact that can affect the fate of the world, and now there is a lot of uproar on the rivers and lakes, it seems that all the major sects on the rivers and lakes are looking for this map, and there are three things that can solve this map."
"Does this picture really exist? I always thought it was just a legend. β
"Looks like it's real." The maiden said, took out a roll of things from the cabinet on the couch, and handed it to Xiyun.
Xiyun opened it gently, and when he saw it, it was three pieces of paper with patterns drawn, and he looked at the girl in puzzlement.
The girl pointed to the pattern on the paper and said to Xiyun, "These are the three things that can be unraveled on the rivers and lakes nowβthe Qianyuan ruler, the square stone, and the yin moon mirror." β
When Xiyun looked closely at the pattern of the lunar mirror, he was shocked on the spot. Isn't that the pattern the jade mirror that fell out of the sachet that the white-haired old man gave her?
"Xiyun, Xiyun, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xiyun motionless looking at the pattern in her hand, the maiden gently pushed her.
Xiyun recovered from the shock and hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm just too curious about this drawing." β
"It's okay, I thought you were stunned." The maiden patted her chest. "I just knew that it would be, and it was similar to your expression, if there were really these things, would you say that the world would be in chaos."
"The world is in chaos?" Xiyun said as if talking to herself, she thought that the small mirror would be a yin moon mirror, why would the white-haired old man give her such an important thing, was it accidental? However, this reason was too far-fetched, and if he did it intentionally, what would it have to do with her? She couldn't figure out why.
Seeing Xiyun, the girl sighed for a while, frowned for a while, thought she was sick, and touched Xiyun's forehead with her hand, Xiyun took her hand, held it in the palm of her hand, looked at the girl's eyes, and said a little seriously, "Miss Shu, if you get these three things, what will you do?"
"If I get these three things, I'm going to have to look for them."
"And then?"
"And then, let those who should disappear disappear, and those who should appear." The maiden said with hatred and hope in her eyes, and after she finished speaking, she withdrew her hand and slapped Xiyun on the forehead, "How can we have a chance to get these things, don't think about it." At least, it didn't appear, and maybe it was just a rumor. Forget it, let's not talk about that. β
Xiyun was full of worries at this time, and his face was also gloomy. She can't tell anyone about it, after she goes back, she has to hide the lunar mirror well, maybe she thinks too much, maybe the white-haired old man is really wrong, then the next time she sees him, she will return the things to their original owners.
The maiden only thought that Xiyun was tired, let her lie on the couch and rest for a while, and then ask her to get up when she arrived. Xiyun obediently lay down, closed his eyes and rested, trying to make the impact of that incident slowly weaken, otherwise he would definitely arouse the suspicion of the concubine. If this matter is really related to her, she doesn't want to involve the concubine.
After the carriage drove out of the city gate, the road was a little bummer than before, and the maiden found some soft pillows to cushion behind Xiyun, so that she could lean on more comfortably and not scab over the wound. The maiden looked at Xiyun apologetically, there were some things, not that she didn't say it, but that it wasn't time.
The carriage had been running for two quarters of an hour, and the maiden smelled the salty smell in the air, and she looked out the window of the carriage, and behind the low grass was a blue sea. She was very excited, "Xiyun, wake up, we're here." β
"Really?" Xiyun hurriedly got up, and when she saw the sea, the worries in her heart were temporarily put aside.
The maiden hurriedly shouted to stop the carriage, the carriage stopped, and the two hurriedly got off the carriage, and were just about to lift their feet to step over the grass, when the chariot boy shouted, "Miss, it's not here." β
"Not here, what do you mean?"
The little servant lowered his voice and said, "I heard that it is haunted here, let's go a little further." The maiden burst out laughing, "In broad daylight, the ghost who came, you let him come out for me." β
The little guy hurriedly shushed, and looked around his eyes, "Miss, this is true, people who came to this beach before will be sent back quietly." That's why no one dares to come to this beach. β
"I don't believe it, someone must be playing a prank, I'm going to go down, you open the way for me."
"Miss, Shopkeeper Dong has instructed me to protect your safety, you can't go down here, if you have a good one, how should I explain to Shopkeeper Dong."
Xiyun saw that what the little guy said was serious, she also looked around, Lin Feng was gusting, she couldn't help but shudder, there really wouldn't be anything. She has been afraid of these since she was a child, she pulled the sleeve of the concubine and said, "Concubine, why don't we go." β
The maiden patted the back of her hand and said comfortingly, "Xiyun, don't be afraid, with me here, I don't believe in this evil, you open the way for us." β
Seeing that the maids insisted on leaving, he had to lead them through a very small path in front of him, and as he walked, he used the machete he carried with him to cut down the weeds on both sides of the path.
Seeing this, the concubine was very satisfied, she said, "What's your name, you're doing a good job, go back and ask the shopkeeper Dong to give you a reward." β
"Don't dare, Miss. I also acted on orders, just hoping that the eldest lady could go back safely, so I could explain to the shopkeeper Dong. β
They soon made their way through the grass to the beach, followed by the four of them. Xiyun had never seen the sea before, standing on the beach and looking at the sea and sky in front of her, she really wanted to see what the end of the sea would be. The waves crashed against the sand, and the soft fine sand moved in and out with the sea. Xiyun wanted to feel the seawater, so she took off her shoes and socks and walked into the waves.
"Miss, why do you take off your shoes, if people can see them." Jasper was a little worried and looked around.
"Jasper, how can you feel the sand and sea water if you don't take it off, it's okay, you guys take it off too."
"It's a good way, it's indescribably comfortable to step on the sand barefoot." The maiden immediately took off her shoes and socks and ran on the sand. Xiyun followed, happily playing in the seawater, and had long forgotten the strange events that the little guy said.
The maiden suddenly stopped, turned around, and said, "I heard that if you make a wish on the sea, your wish will come true." β
"How I've never heard of it." Xiyun looked at the maiden suspiciously.
"Really. I've heard from others, too. β
"Quick, let's make a wish together."
Xiyun watched as the maiden seriously put her palms together on her chest, and made a wish, she also put her palms together on her chest, intending to make a wish. Who knows, before she made a wish, the maiden splashed water on her face, and looked at her and bent over with a smile.
Xiyun knew that it was the maiden who was teasing her, and she pretended to be angry and said, "You girl, dare to tease me." She waved her hand and splashed the maid with water. The two of them went back and forth there, and had a lot of fun.
Ning Xiang and Momo are the same age, and they also played there. Only Biyu and Cuiwei stood there stiffly, helplessly looking at the two young ladies frolicking in the water, they glanced at each other and smiled.
What they didn't know was that at this moment, on a cliff near them on the beach, there were two people standing watching them frolic.
"Master, you say, they are really bold and dare to come here to play."
Xiao Jingyu didn't speak, just quietly looked at the figure who was smiling arbitrarily in the sea breeze, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly.
Xiao Yi felt that the sun was really coming out of the west, and the master actually smiled.
"Master, do you want me to go down and remind them?"
"No, let's go first, and tell people not to disturb them." After speaking, Xiao Jingyu turned around and left.
Xiao Yi was shocked again, this is not a place that the master cares about very much, no one was allowed to approach here before, but this time these girls were allowed to frolic here. He scratched his head, still puzzled. Forget it, he still listened to his master, he picked up the flute and played a song. A whistle echoed in the distance.
