Chapter 252: Blood Lotus Down
"There is a way to be a glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine. Ye Boyu picked up a cup and played with it carefully, "Could it be that this is the luminous cup." β
Liu Feixu snatched the wine jug, his fingers flew, and poured a full glass. I saw the crimson, thick as blood like the wine poured into the emerald green wine glass, its red as blood, as green as blue, as if it was the color of a dream, Liu Feixu picked it up, and shone on the bright moonlight outside the window, it was even more transparent, and the bottom of the cup was full of light, as if there were more than a dozen colors, it was really like a rainbow reflecting the moon.
"Here you will taste it first. Liu Feixu shook his little head, stretched out his hand and handed it to Ye Boyu, Ye Boyu was already salivating, took it, raised his neck, and drank it all.
It was as if there was a cool line of ice passing through the throat and drinking into the stomach, indescribably refreshing. "Sure enough, it's a jade liquid. Ye Boyu sighed lightly.
Ye Boyu stuffed a few pieces of meat in his mouth and swallowed it vigorously, only then did he tell Liu Feixu about what he saw in the courtyard.
Liu Feixu was also puzzled when he heard it, firstly, the affairs of Ling Yun and Shang Yue had nothing to do with him, and secondly, he was angry when he thought of that Ling Yin, and he didn't want to guess more. just said: "Brother Ye, the two factions were originally inseparable enemies, but now they are sneaky, and they don't know what they are complicit, which is definitely not a good thing." We don't care about them, anyway, good things and bad things have nothing to do with us. β
Ye Boyu was actually just curious, his top priority now was to find Xuelian and save Meng Yao quickly, and he didn't have anything to worry about, so he nodded and said, "Exactly." Su'er, we have eaten and drunk enough, rest him for a night, and go to Tianshan tomorrow. β
The two chatted for a while, and Liu Feixu suddenly said: "Brother Ye, do you know? Just now I heard that there are many rare treasures in the Tianshan Mountains, and there are people here who come to hunt for treasures every day, more than hundreds, and as few as dozens of people, so although this place is deserted, people come and go, and it is very lively every day." β
"yes. Ye Boyu also said: "Tianshan Mountain has been a legendary fairy mountain since ancient times, and strange flowers and plants are of course not a problem. Aren't we also here for the thousand-year-old snow lotus?"
Liu Feixu's apricot eyes rolled, and then said, "Brother Ye, speaking of Snow Lotus." I just heard the little second brother here say that there is one of the most magical snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains, called the Blood Lotus, have you ever heard of it?"
"Blood Lotus?" Ye Boyu couldn't help but shake his head and muttered: "Blood Lotus, I have never heard of it, since ancient times, there has been a snow lotus, how can there be any blood lotus?"
"It's the Blood Lotus. Liu Feixu put down his chopsticks and said mysteriously: "I heard that this kind of blood lotus flower will definitely not be seen on weekdays, it only blooms once in ninety-nine years, and the meeting time will only be at midnight at three watches, and it will only bloom for one hour, as soon as the hour passes, the flower will wither immediately, and as soon as the flower withers, the blood lotus will disappear without a trace, and if you want to see it again, you have to wait for another fifty years." β
"Oh, look at what you say. Could it be that time is really such a magical thing?" Ye Boyu was also interested all of a sudden.
Seeing Ye Boyu's curiosity, Liu Feiyu tilted his head and said: "What's even more amazing is that as soon as this blood lotus blooms, although it is only for an hour, it is fragrant for hundreds of miles, thousands of miles, and the entire Tianshan can smell that rich fragrance." If someone who is destined eats the blood lotus, it will be a daytime ascension, and he will immediately become an immortal. β
Seeing Liu Fei's troubled appearance, Ye Boyu couldn't help but smile and said: "Su'er, how can there be such a magical thing, you can become an immortal if you eat it, isn't it even more powerful than Taishang Laojun's Nine Turns Immortal Pill? Ha ha. β
"Hmph! You don't believe it. Liu Feixu pursed her lips and snorted and said, "Anyway, this girl is determined to find this kind of blood lotus, unlike you, you can't see new things." β
I have long heard that the mutton on the Gobi in the northwest is a must, Ye Boyu has eaten several large pieces and is still not addicted, while eating, he deliberately teased Liu Feixu and said: "Okay, I want to see how our Miss Liu went to find the blood lotus, I don't even know where the people are." β
"Who said I didn't know, I had already inquired. Liu Feixu said unconvinced: "I heard that in the depths of this Tianshan Mountain, there is a sacred mountain, this sacred mountain is not seen at all on weekdays, only when the blood lotus blooms, the sacred mountain will be revealed, and the blood lotus is at the peak of the sacred mountain." β
"Deep in the Tianshan Mountains, a sacred mountain that you can't see on weekdays?" Ye Boyu couldn't help but laugh, and said, "The blood lotus that only blooms for an hour in ninety-nine years?
"Yes!" Liu Feixu's apricot eyes widened, and he said angrily: "What's wrong with the shopkeeper?
"Su'er, let's drink and eat. The food here is delicious, and the wine is luscious and mellow. Quick, fast. Ye Boyu picked up the luminous cup, picked up a large chopstick to roast mutton, swallowed it in one bite, and was full of praise.
"Brother Ye, don't look left to talk about him, do you believe what I just said or not?" Liu Feixu asked in a loud voice. She had just drunk a few glasses of wine from the Western Regions, her face was as bright as a peach blossom, her starry eyes were flowing, and she was very bright under the light.
Ye Boyu glanced at it, only to feel that his heart was slightly swaying, his face was red, and he hurriedly lowered his head and drank.
In fact, Liu Feixu himself also thinks that this blood lotus is too bizarre, so he just listens to it. After drinking a few more glasses of wine, and seeing the lights on the street outside, there were faint bursts of singing and laughter, so he stood up, opened the window and looked out, the long street that used to sell goods during the day had closed the stalls at night, hung with red lanterns, and became a lively and noisy orchid restaurant street.
I saw that the red lanterns on the street were unknown how long, as if they were leading straight into the sky in the distance. Under the lights, the yellow sandstone storefronts turn into colorful during the day, and every orchid shop is clad in red and green, full of exotic atmosphere. The most eye-catching thing is that in front of every wine shop, there are a few orchid women wearing clothes from the Western Regions soliciting guests, only to see that these orchid women look like they are in their twenties, with long necks, big eyes, exposed arms and calves like jade, waist and limbs seem to be only pinched, and their bodies are flexible, as if the spring breeze is blowing willows.
There are also orchid women who are even more bold, half of their bright and shaky bellies are exposed, their skin is brighter than snow, their waists are bunched, and they are indescribably bewitching. These orchid women are accompanied by drums and strings, and the dancers raise their sleeves and dance, constantly spinning, like the wind returning to the snow, and the fluffy grass is whirling.
"Brother Ye, look, it's so lively outside, why don't we go and take a look. Liu Feixu screamed and said happily.
Where did Ye Boyu have such thoughts, shook his head and said: "Su'er, we will go to the depths of the Tianshan Mountains early tomorrow morning, we have eaten wine and dinner today, let's rest early." β
"Come and see, what are you doing with such excitement outside?" Liu Feiyu took Ye Boyu's hand and came to the window.
"Hu Xuannu, Hu Xuannu, the heart should be stringed, and the hands should be drummed. The strings and drums raised their sleeves, and the snow fluttered and danced. Turn left and right tirelessly, thousands of turns of time. There is no comparison between the things in the world, and the wheels are slow and the whirlwind is late. Ye Boyu held the luminous cup in his hand, looked at the prosperous scene outside the window, and couldn't help but shake his head and say.
"So this is the Orchid Shop. Liu Feixu suddenly realized and said, Bai Juyi's "Hu Xuannu", of course Liu Feixu has read it. "'Wuling is young in the east of the golden city, and the silver saddle and white horse spend the spring breeze. Falling flowers wander wherever they go, and laugh into the orchid restaurant'. No wonder Li Taibai admires the orchid wine shop so much, and now it is really lively at first glance. There are songs and dances, and there are such bewitching orchids, I don't think Li Taibai will like it if he is a merry and talented person, let alone any gentlemen. β
Ye Boyu was speechless, he could only smile awkwardly, picked up the luminous cup again, and poured himself a few glasses.
Liu Feixu waited to speak, and pulled Ye Boyu out. Suddenly, there was a rough laugh from the next door, and then someone next door said loudly: "Seniors, we are here again today, I don't know what you plan to do this time?"
A dark voice said: "Once every three years, the money from the last snow lotus harvest has already been spent cleanly, and the money in the pocket is shy, why don't you come here?
Hearing the word Snow Lotus, Ye Boyu and Liu Feixu glanced at each other, and the two sat down together, wanting to hear what these people next door would say.
The rough voice said loudly again: "Brother Huazi, you don't drink or gamble, how can you spend so much money in three years? What is your brother doing?"
The old brother Huazi said suspiciously: "I have two wives and concubines, all of whom want to wear gold and silver, and the money from selling Snow Lotus can't withstand it for a long time." is not older than your boss Ke, and the whole family is not hungry when one person eats enough. β
Before Boss Ke could answer, another person next to him said: "Two, the six of us come to Tianshan once every three years, and it's the fourth time, how do we arrange our itinerary this time, where to find Snow Lotus?"
It turned out to be a group of lotus pickers, Ye Boyu was overjoyed, this Tianshan has thousands of mountains and rivers, stretching for thousands of miles, where to find snow lotus, when will the two of them find it. With this group of people leading the way, it saves I don't know how much trouble.
Liu Feifu also stuck out his tongue, and looked very cute under the light. She whispered, "With a guide, this group of people must know where the snow lotus is." β
