Chapter 32: The Merman Changyuan
Xihe walked to the window, looked up, and saw a person lying on the eaves in the distance, and his shadow was stretched out so long under the moonlight.
She leaped and flew over.
Seeing that he had his eyes closed, his posture languid, one hand supporting his head, and his long black hair hanging down behind him, she walked up to him and sat down.
The two men were silent, one lying and the other sitting.
After sitting for a long time and feeling the wind blowing a little cold, I couldn't help but shiver, and at this time, the mountain ghost who had been closing his eyes said, "Go back to the house when it's cold." ”
Xihe turned his head to look at him, and asked with a smile, "Mountain ghost, aren't you asleep?" ”
He opened his eyes, revealing beautiful purple pupils, and his tone was cold, "Benjun is just closing his eyes to recuperate." ”
Then he said, "Didn't Benjun see that you were very happy shopping?" How can you still have time to come here? ”
"How do you know?" Originally, when she went out, she wanted to call him and Xue Gu, but when she went to the room to look for her, there was no one there, so she had to go out with Yu Jingzi.
The mountain ghost didn't answer her question, but put his gaze in the distance, and Xi He glanced over, and then understood how he knew that she was out.
From this angle, the scene of several bustling streets in the country of Narcissus was in full view, and the flow of people was surging, coming and going, and it was very lively, which was more and farther than she could see from the window of her room.
"What's that?" Xihe suddenly saw white lanterns gradually rising on the side of the bridge in the distance, only a few at first, and soon more and more flew into the air.
"Haven't you seen it?" He asked.
Xihe thought for a moment and hesitated, "It seems....I've seen it." ”
She wasn't sure if the lanterns she had seen in Priest Bodhi's courtyard were the same lanterns.
The mountain ghost stood up, put one hand on her shoulder, and smiled faintly.
When his feet hit the ground, he was crowded with people, watching the lanterns with handwriting in front of him fly into the night sky.
The mountain ghost handed her the wishing lamp he bought, and said, "The wishing lantern of the Yuanri Festival is people's good wishes for their relatives and friends, and the wish is written on the lantern and released, in the hope that the heavens can hear their hearts and realize their wishes." ”
Xihe looked down at the wishing lamp in his hand and said, "It turns out that this is a wishing lamp, when I was a child, I went to the courtyard of the Bodhi priest, and a piece of lanterns flew in his yard, at that time I always thought that the Bodhi priest was afraid of the dark, and deliberately lit these lanterns in the courtyard, but I didn't expect it to be the wishing lamp sent by mortals." ”
After the mountain ghost opened the wishing lamp in his hand, he directly lit the wax heart, and when he was about to let go, Xihe asked, "Lord mountain ghost, don't you write something?" ”
He lowered his eyelids and said lightly, "Benjun has neither relatives nor friends, so there is no need to write." ”
After saying that, he let go of his hand, and the wishing lamp immediately flew out of his hand, gradually merging with the many wishing lanterns.
Xihe lifted the pen on the side, thought for a while, and wrote on the wishing lamp, "May Master, Xuegu, Mountain Ghost Lord, and Yujingzi have a smooth life and be healthy and happy every day", after writing, she lit the wax heart, and was about to fly, when she suddenly saw that most of the people around her were flying the wishing lamp together in pairs.
Looking at the wishing lamp in his hand, he suddenly felt a little empty.
At this time, a white hand appeared in her eyes, and when she pinched the two corners of the wishing lamp, the person in front of her pinched the other two corners.
Xihe smiled at him contentedly, and he returned her with a faint smile.
After the wishing lamp was released, looking at the wishing lamp in the distance, she asked, "Do you know how to see each of these wishing lanterns?" ”
"I don't know."
"There are so many wishing lanterns, I guess he can't even look at them...," Xihe muttered in a low voice.
She took out a delicate and small peace charm from her sleeve, and the body of the charm was embroidered with a beautiful red acacia, and the charm faintly exuded a burst of fragrance.
She pinched the peace charm in her hand and said, "Lord Mountain Ghost, before I met you, I had no family or friends except for my master and Xue Gu, and you helped me so many times along the way, if it weren't for you, Xue Gu and I might not be able to go now."
She handed him the peace charm and said, "This peace charm is for you, I wish you peace and success in the future, and all your wishes will come true." ”
Do you want to do it?
The mountain ghost looked at her pure smile and lost her mind, lowered her eyebrows and looked at the dazzling red peace charm lying in the palm of her white palm, and when she raised her hand, the lock spirit bracelet in her sleeve was exposed, and the bracelet at this time was the same as the peace charm in her palm, red and dazzling.
Just when he was still stunned, Xihe put the peace charm in the palm of his hand.
When I returned to the inn, it was close to dawn, and after a short rest, I was called by Xue Gu, "Why are you getting up late today?" You're the first to get up on weekdays. ”
She smiled and replied, "I learned from you." ”
Then, he took out an embroidered bag from his waist and handed it to her, "This is for you." ”
Xue Gu took it, looked at the little cat on the embroidered bag, couldn't help but smile, and asked, "You went out last night?" ”
"I wanted to go with you, but I didn't know that there was no one in your room."
"Oh, I went out last night too." As she spoke, she took out the same red peace charm from behind her and handed it to her, "It's just a good time to exchange gifts." ”
Xihe was a little surprised, because Aunt Xue only likes to drink and sleep in addition to practicing, and she has always scoffed at other things that little girls like to do, "You also went shopping last night?" ”
She touched her nose and explained nonchalantly, "No, I just bought it when I went out to buy wine." ”
Xihe knew that she was cheeky and didn't fight with her, she looked at a red rope that was brought out behind her, and asked, "Is that for Master?" ”
Xue Gu looked down, panicked and stuffed the peace charm into her waist, and replied, "No... No, it's... That's what I left for myself. ”
"Buy yourself a peace charm?" Xihe looked disbelieving, she carefully looked at Xue Gu's flustered eyes, not wanting to pierce her careful thoughts, and instead smiled, "Okay, I won't tease you." ”
Xue Gu only reacted at this time, what is her heart empty!
Usually she bullies her, so she should behave a little more boldly!
After the narcissus country, further south is the waters of the East China Sea, plus the first day of the day, the weather warms up, and the scenery on the road is getting better and better.
This road did not stop for half a month, and it was not until it passed by Donghai South Town that it walked more slowly.
"I heard from the master, there are many strange and rare treasures in Donghai South Town, and many strange people and talents gather here, and many immortal officials in the Heavenly Palace have ascended here." Xihe said as he walked.
Yu Jingzi clasped her hands to her chest, walked next to Xihe, and said with a smile, "It seems that although my sister rarely walks around in the mortal world, I have heard a lot of this story." ”
Xi He said, "Although I have heard a lot, I am not as well-informed as you." ”
"Sister, if you marry me, I will take you to travel all over the Three Realms, and see enough mountains, rivers and scenery." He leaned back against her.
Suddenly, a snow-white scabbard came in between them, Xue Gu walked to the middle, separating the two, she looked bad and glared at him, "Just talk, why are you so close?" Don't have bones? ”
He smiled and replied, "If my sister is willing to let me lean on, even if I am crippled." ”
She glanced at him with disgust, "Disgusting." ”
While a few people were talking, there was a commotion in front of them, and soon the street, which was not very wide, was blocked by a succession of people, all of them sticking their heads and leaning their waists, and even some of them sat on the neck of another person, curiously watching something in the middle.
"What are they looking at?" Xihe couldn't help but come up.
The three of them crowded with the crowd, and they heard the people in their ears arguing, "Don't crowd!" It's all about to be squeezed to death! ”
"Can you let me? Can you get a single bit out of it if you see enough of it? ”
"Don't pull me, I haven't seen enough, I've never seen a blue fishtail merman!"
…..
Xihe squeezed for a long time and couldn't squeeze in, and now she can't get in and is squeezed out of the crowd, just when she is in trouble, a long arm suddenly stretched out in the crowd and encircled her in her arms, and a faint fragrance rushed to her face.
The crowd squeezed them tighter and tighter, his face pressed directly against his chest, the sound of her heart beating in her ears.
Yu Jingzi looked at her frowning brows, smiled helplessly, and said, "Sister, it's too crowded here, why don't I take you out first?" ”
He didn't feel too crowded, he wished he squeezed it tighter.
That way he could hug her tighter.
He twisted a spell, stood in an open place in an instant, Xihe came out of his arms, straightened his clothes, and said, "Don't you know that the mountain ghost and Xue Gu are still inside?" ”
"No, isn't that?" Yu Jingzi raised his eyes and signaled.
Xi He looked at it, and the two of them really stood upright on the opposite roof, one tall and one short, one holding a fan, the other holding a sword, and the two beautiful faces were unanimously indifferent, looking inexplicably compatible.
When the two of them also flew up, Xue Gu came over with a solemn expression and said to her, "It's Changyuan." ”
A flash of surprise flashed in Xihe's beautiful eyes, and she looked into the crowd below, the fish-tailed human body, a large blue tail with a shining silver light stained with blood, and the fish-man was dying in a huge cage.
"Sister, is he your friend?" Yujingzi saw that her face was not good, and asked.
She said, "Changyuan is my mermaid friend, I don't know how they caught me here." ”
Donghai South Town faces the East China Sea, the East China Sea is a well-known shark area, Changyuan appears here is not surprising, but the strange thing is that an adult shark was caught by humans, and was injured like this, sharks are good-natured, but after being caught, it is impossible to be good enough to be caught, and it is impossible for humans to be harmed arbitrarily.
Although there are many strange people and talents in Donghai South Town, people are people after all, and it is still far from catching a shark, besides, the East China Sea has specially divided a piece of water for coastal villagers to fish, and if you really want to catch a shark, you have to go to the deep water, but I am afraid that these people will be swept away by the wind and waves before they reach the deep water.
"Sister, I'm going to help you get him out."
As soon as he took a step forward, the mountain ghost behind him, who had been standing by and watching, slowly reminded, "If you disturb the lives of mortals, you will be punished by heaven." ”
Xihe dragged him back, "Lord Mountain Ghost is right, let's wait for the night to quietly rescue him." ”
