Chapter 40: A Beautiful Man Out of the Water

After experiencing this, Xiao Qingqian suddenly remembered the Tang monks and apprentices who went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, they went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties to reach the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple to seek the true scriptures, what she experienced was nothing, of course, she did not have such a grand wish, she had been Lu Yunyan before, maybe pious to follow the direction indicated by the astrolabe to move forward, and one day he could leave here, so he thought about it and felt a lot happier, and couldn't help humming the song: "You carry the burden, I lead the horse, lala......" behind the "la" It's all forgotten.

"Miss Xiao, what are you singing about, it's weird and ugly." This song is really incomprehensible, and it is not good to say it directly.

"You know what, this song is a childhood memory for many people." Xiao Qingqian saw that there was little on the road, except for climbing up the hill and going downhill, and looking at the barren mountains and waste rocks, he suddenly became interested in telling a story, "Let me tell you a story, once upon a time, there was a monk named Tang Sanzang who wanted to go to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures, and on the way to it, he also accepted three apprentices, one of these three apprentices has a hairy face, and the other is ......."

When Xiao Qingqian was talking about it, they climbed down a small hill, and suddenly their eyes couldn't help but light up, and a big blue lake at the bottom of the slope was bright and shining, which immediately attracted their attention. In such a barren and barren place, there is a lake as beautiful as a sapphire, so quiet that it is like walking to the end of the world, as if you have plunged into a surprise and accident!

"It's so beautiful!" Xiao Qingqian forgot the story of Tang Seng and his apprentice that was being told in his mouth, and was stunned by the lake in front of him, and in an instant, they accelerated their pace to the bottom of the slope.

The lake is blue and quiet, just like in a painting, stretching to the foot of the mountain in the distance. When they left the Imperial City, the high priest had warned them of many dangers in this direction, and their clansmen would always avoid this side, but Xiao Qingqian had no worries, because the astrolabe had already indicated this direction, so they had to move forward bravely.

"Hahaha......" Several of them were also very happy, and after the Thunder Tiger rushed to the bottom of the slope, he jumped directly into the lake, splashing a lot of water, "Hahahaha, comfortable!" Immediately afterwards, General Guo and the Evil Devouring Monarch also jumped down, in their memories, after coming to the astrolabe, the water was not seriously drunk, let alone bathing, the dirt on the body was accumulated layer after layer, and now they couldn't directly rush over when they saw such a bright pool of water.

"Miss Xiao, you come down too!"

"I'll get the blind man down first, and you can catch him!"

Unexpectedly, the blind man refused, "I don't know how to swim." ”

General Guo probed with his body: "This lake is not deep, stand up and cross my waist." ”

"Yes, this water is clear and not deep, you haven't taken a bath for hundreds of years, it's rare to go down and wash if you have water, don't worry, I can swim, you follow me." Xiao Qingqian said and helped the blind man to the lake, and then went into the water first, and only after standing firm did he help the blind man slowly come down step by step, the lake water was very soft and gentle, just the opposite of the wasteland of the rough mines around him.

Xiao Qingqian washed her face comfortably, it was really pleasant, she still wanted to wash her hair, but when she saw the three reckless and evil men not far away, she suddenly felt a little obscene and simply didn't wash it, the blind man was still standing not far from the water's edge, so she went over and pulled the blind man to a deeper place in the water. However, this water reached Xiao Qingqian's abdomen, and it only reached the blind man's thighs, which was not deep, but the blind man was really afraid, so Xiao Qingqian didn't force him, let him stand in the water, sit, turn around and go ashore, Xiao Qingqian soaked in water with his feet off the ground, but unfortunately he couldn't enjoy himself with clothes.

The blind man stood in the water for a while before he got used to it, and then slowly immersed his whole body in the water, the feeling that made his body refreshing made him tremble, he thought that he had already lost his feeling like a dead wood, but he didn't expect that the moment he entered the water made him feel like a new life, just like a dead wood encountered rain and had the meaning of survival, he immersed his whole head in the water, enjoying the long-lost pleasure.

Seeing that the blind man was sinking into the water, Xiao Qingqian was startled, thinking that he was drowning and hurriedly scooped him up, "What are you doing!" Did you know that this is dangerous? ”

No matter how anxious others are, the blind man is still the kind of person who is not in a hurry or is cold, and said slowly: "Just wash your face." ”

"You can wash it with water in your hands, why do you have to bury your whole head in the water, it's easy to drown." After seeing the blind man's face touching the water, the face was dirty, black, yellow and dirty, and the long and smelly hair was stained with water and was dripping black and yellow water against his chin, which was so dirty that Xiao Qingqian couldn't see it, and for his sake, he had to say: "Look at your dirty face, I'll wash it for you." ”

Thunder Tiger swam over, "It's not fair to only help the blind wash, I also want you to wash me." ”

"Get out of the way, you're not out of sight." Xiao Qingqian kicked him away with a kick as he spoke, and then said to the blind man, "You squat!" "Seeing that his face is so dirty that he can't get off his hands, he should wash a piece of black mud. Xiao Qingqian rubbed him while flicking the water, and rubbed layer after layer before she reached his skin, and she wanted to pick up a stone to rub his face.

After rubbing his whole face, Xiao Qingqian ordered the blind man to sit in the water and let him rinse off the layers of dirt rubbed out of it, while she went behind him and helped him sort out his weed-like hair in the water.

"Alas...... My dad and I have never served like this, but now I have served a blind man, what do you say this is? Xiao Qingqian sighed while arranging the blind man's hair.

Unconsciously, the water in the lake was faintly stirring, Xiao Qingqian thought that the thunder roaring tiger and a few of them were making a fuss, and when she reacted, she realized that something was wrong, this lake was no longer the ripples they came down to make a fuss, the lake was calm and the bottom of the lake was swirling, and in an instant the waves swept in, and the people began to shake, Xiao Qingqian didn't have time to shout danger to call the three people in the depths of the lake back, the lake suddenly seemed to be controlled, and even the people with the water poured into the distance.

Xiao Qingqian, who can swim in the water, is also powerless to parry, and has been carried away by the water, just like being swept away by a sudden flood, no matter how she struggles, there is nothing around her that can grasp and stabilize her body, until she is washed into a forest, she is blocked by the trunk of the tree and does not continue to be washed away.

Choked on a stomach of water, fortunately, it was okay, Xiao Qing staggered up, touched the astrolabe in her pocket to make sure it was not lost, fortunately her pocket has a zipper, otherwise the astrolabe will be washed away by the water, and now the top priority is to find a few of them, the blind man doesn't understand water and doesn't know how.

"Hey! Where are you? Ay! If you hear it, you'll call me back! Xiao Qingqian shouted while looking for it, now he has completely lost his direction, the trees in this forest are all about the same, the same tree species has the same thickness and height of the bowl, and he can't tell where and where he is, looking left and right, looking at the front and back are almost the same, just like there are thousands of mirrors around, looking at everything.

The water has receded, but there is still half a foot of water left on the ground, even if it is not deep, it will drown people, especially the blind man who does not know the nature of water, Xiao Qingqian is particularly worried about him. "Blind! Thunder Roaring Tiger! General Guo! Eater of Evil! Where are you all? Hear me! It's a pity that her throat is hoarse, and no one responds to her.

After a long while, an echo came from not far away: "I'm here." It was the voice of a blind man, Xiao Qingqian turned his head to look for his figure, only to see him holding on to a tree, his long wet hair covering the side of his face, Xiao Qingqian hurriedly rushed over in joy, "I finally found you!" When she pulled the blind man's arm and saw his face covered by his long hair, she was shocked, is this still blind?

At this moment, in addition to closing his invisible eyes, he can be said to be handsome with handsome facial features, and his angular face is extremely handsome and extraordinary.

Xiao Qingqian was dumbfounded, if it weren't for his long hair and long clothes, she wouldn't have dared to believe that the person in front of her was blind, thinking that when she first saw him, she was considered a monster in the cave, but now she has become a beautiful man after washing and soaking. At the beginning, Xiao Qingqian was still very puzzled about how the person indicated by the astrolabe was such a dirty and ugly blind man, it turned out that everything had a deep meaning, after all, appearance is justice.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Xiao Qingqian suddenly didn't move for a long time, the blind man groped around, Xiao Qingqian came back to his senses and regained his composure and grabbed his sleeve instead, "It's okay, it's great to find you, you can't swim and can't see, I'm worried about whether you will be drowned." ”

"The water at such depths is not enough to drown people." The blind man comforted her.

"It's hard to say." Xiao Qingqian looked around and continued: "The three of them were also washed away by the water, these trees look almost identical, I don't know how to find them. ”

"If you can't find them, they'll come to you."

"That being said, we can't wait here."

"In that case, they are also washed away by the flowing water, and we can find them in the direction of the current."

Looking around, Xiao Qingqian couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, where else could she tell what direction of the water flow, just when she was confused, a dead leaf fell from her eyes to the water, watching the fallen leaf whirlpool on the water surface and then drift away with the flowing water, she suddenly understood, "This way." ”

Unexpectedly, the blind man also pointed in that direction at the same time and said, "This way." ”

Xiao Qingqian smiled, the blind man's hearing is really amazing, it seems that not to mention a leaf falling, he should be able to hear the subtle sound of water.

"Let's go, these trees are very dense, be careful of hitting your head, I'll pull you."
