Chapter 244: Planting Lotus
Standing on the shore of the lake, Ning Que looked back, only to see the green trees towering to the sky, the pink walls and black eaves looming in the meantime, seeing Qinggui in the quiet, thinking that this is his home, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, great satisfaction, and said: "We will live in a bigger house in the future." ”
Sang Sang was a little surprised, tilted his head and said, "The bigger house than here can only be the princess's mansion and the palace." ”
Ning Que stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, rubbed her head dotingly, and said: "We also often go to the princess's mansion and the palace, if you really want to live there in the future, I will ask Your Majesty." ”
Sangsang leaned against his chest and laughed happily.
The light leaking from between the green leaves of the ancient tree suddenly became much lighter, and Ning Que looked up at the sky, only to see a few large clouds floating in the sky above the treetops at some point, obscuring the blazing sun.
He pushed Sangsang away from his arms and said, "Go rowing." ”
The different treatment before and after did not make the little maid feel too uncomfortable, she sighed, and walked towards the newly built simple boathouse on the shore of the lake.
The wooden stack about several zhang long stretches out to the Yanming Lake, and there are two small boats moored in front of the stack, with oars at the stern and canopy on the boat, which are extremely new in condition, which is newly bought by Ning Que.
The wooden oar pierced the white clouds and blue sky reflected on the surface of the lake, and the lake waves gradually rose, swinging into the distance, messing up the aquatic plants between the clear water, and startling the fish in the aquatic plants.
The boat left the pier and headed for the middle of the lake.
In the middle of Yanming Lake is a lotus field.
Ning Que was half-lying on the bow of the boat, and the single collar on his body had been untied. He lay in the shadow of the canopy, sniffing the faint fragrance of lotus in the wind, and closed his eyes comfortably.
Sangsang stood at the stern of the boat, slowly rocking the oars.
"You close your eyes and feel it, too. ”
Ning Que said.
Sang Sang Yiyan put down the oars in his hand, walked into the canopy, leaned against him and closed his eyes, his sparse eyelashes blinked slightly, and his yellowish hair trembled lightly in the lake breeze.
"What do you feel?"
"The lake breeze was cool and cool. ”
"I'm asking about the breath of heaven and earth. ”
"Like...... It's a little thicker than on the shore. ”
Sang Sang opened his eyes and looked at the lotus field not far away, his thin brows furrowed.
Ning Que took out the drawing from his arms, pointed to the Yanming Lake about the size of a fingernail on the map and said: "This lake is the left eye of the city of Chang'an City, the imperial court sparsely Ling this lake last year, in the name of the Ministry of Industry at the request of the Chang'an Mansion, in fact, the daily maintenance of the Shocking God Array by the Tianshu Office. ”
Sang Sang was puzzled and asked, "Then we bought a house by the lake, and the court agreed?"
"The array of Chang'an City is now in my charge, not to mention this lake. ”
Ning Que continued: "The reason why I want to buy the house by the lake is that the first reason is this lake, the big array of Chang'an City has never been launched, but it has been running slowly, Yanming Lake is the left bronchia, and it is natural to condense some heaven and earth vitality Although the self-homogeneous power of heaven and earth is too strong, the concentration here cannot be too special, but it is good for cultivation." ”
Sang Sang nodded as if he didn't understand.
"The most critical question is that if I can really control the big array of Chang'an City, I will be able to link the formation designed by Senior Sister Seventh for us with the Amazing God Array. ”
Ning Que said: "At that time, there is no need to activate the Shocking Array to alarm the world, and I have enough ability to borrow the situation from Chang'an City and plant someone with lotus flowers."
Sang Sang thought for a moment and said, "It sounds difficult. ”
Ning Que thought about his studies in the palace these days, and said with a slight astringency: "It's harder than hard." ”
Sang Sang said: "Young Master, I believe you will definitely be able to do it. ”
"Hopefully, it's just that time is running out. ”
Ning Que looked at the lotus field not far away, thinking that in autumn, these verdant lotus leaves would all turn into withered yellow leaves, and the person would also return to Chang'an, and couldn't help but be silent.
"Go over there to the lotus field. ”
He said.
Sangsang got up from his side and walked to the stern of the boat, shaking the oars again.
"Let's swing the ...... sculls"
Ning Que's singing sounded on the boat on the lake.
Yanming Lake belongs to the public land of mountains and forests owned by the government, and it is not allowed to be sold, and it is impossible to become Ning Que's private property, but he bought up the mansion by the lake, and the imperial court will not compare with him in terms of his identity, and the Yanming Mountain on the south bank of the lake is not famous, and there are very few tourists, so Yanming Lake is actually equal to the private lake of his house, and on the pleasant lake, there is only a cloth boat swinging.
Sealing up such a good scenery and turning it into a private garden that can only be enjoyed by oneself cuts off the opportunity for the people of Chang'an City to get close, of course, it will seem a little unkind, and even have some problems in morality, but Ning Que master and servant are originally nouveau riche, they have never been kind-hearted, and they don't care much about moral issues.
The more than ten acres of lotus fields in the middle of the lake are the lotus flowers that Ning Que spent money to hire people to plant, after these days, nourished by the lake mud, the lotus leaves have long been dense, and the flowers are also blooming.
Sang Sang shook the oars, and the boat slowly sailed into the lotus field, and as far as the eye could see, except for the blue lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers, there was nothing else to see, as if entering a quiet labyrinth, entering a graceful world completely different from the scorching summer world.
The cyan round lotus leaves, like a fan boat lying on the water, stretching out in the air, touching the wall of the boat from time to time, making a rustling sound, the lotus flowers will bloom on the side of the boat, those pink and white soft and tender smooth jade petals, close to the two people, and even can clearly smell the faint fragrance.
Ning Que leaned on the bow of the boat, looking at the lotus leaves that were brushing his body like a pampa fan boat, holding a pampa fan in his hand and shaking it gently, his eyes narrowed slightly, while admiring the beautiful shadow of the lotus field, while meditating and practicing, using the qigong method learned during the retreat in the cliff cave, he kept breathing and exhaling the breath of heaven and earth in the lake, and stored the haoran qi in his body.
The drop of liquid condensed by Haoran Qi in his body was now more and more round and full, and it looked like a drop of water rolling on a lotus leaf that could fall into the lake at any time.
The boat went deep into the lotus field, the houses by the lake and even the Yanming Mountain on the south bank were covered by lotus leaves, Sangsang put down the oars, sat down next to Ning Que, stretched out his hand out of the boat, and picked a lotus pod among the leaves.
With a slight force, the little hand tore apart the fresh lotus that had not been in place for a long time, and picked out the pale green lotus seeds from it, she carefully peeled off the lotus seeds and picked out the thin lotus core inside, and then sent them to Ning Que's lips.
Ning Que didn't open his eyes, he ate the lotus seeds with her fingertips, and when he chewed until his mouth was full of fragrance, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "The lotus core of the first lotus is not bitter, so why bother to pick it out." ”
Sang Sang had already processed several lotus seeds, fed them all into his mouth, and didn't listen to what he said, but still carefully picked out all the lotus cores.
"I heard that the lotus core can be used in medicine, but it can't be wasted. ”
She said with her head down.
Ning Que was speechless and said: "How can we say that we are also people with a big mansion now, why are we still so frugal, with that kind of kung fu, you might as well let me write a few more calligraphy." ”
Sang Sang thought about it, thought that this was indeed the truth, looked at the lotus core on his lap, made up his mind, threw the lotus core into the lake, washed his hands in the lake water, and walked back to the stern.
"Where are you going?"
Ning Que watched the boat sway and asked, puzzled.
Sang Sang said: "Go back and let you write a few more books, buy this house and spend all the money, even if the palace has rewarded a lot of things, but last night, it was still a few thousand taels of silver for the fourth master." ”
Ning Que said helplessly: "Don't be in a hurry, right?"
Sang Sang laughed and said, "Teasing you, hurry up and say, where to go at this time." ”
Ning Que said: "Feel free to draw it." ”
Small boats wander freely in the lotus fields.
Ning Que unwrapped the package beside him, took out the small iron can, and carefully touched the deep straight lines on it, and found that he really didn't have the ability of the sixth senior brother.
He casually threw the small tin can into the lake.
These days, the sixth senior brother has made a total of more than thirty small iron cans, and now he is still doing them in the mountains behind the academy, and as long as he has time, he will continue to supply energy.
The small iron kettle was stuffed with enough weight of broken iron filings to increase the power during the test, and it was thrown into the lake water to ensure that it would not float.
The more troublesome thing is the fire charm in the small iron can.
Although Ning Que's mental power was much stronger and more abundant than that of ordinary cultivators, more than thirty consecutive runes with the fullest rune meanings still made him feel a little hard.
Sangsang shook the oars.
He leaned on the bow of the boat, and from time to time threw the small tin can into the lake, ignoring the startled fish on the lotus leaves.
The boat swam around at will, and he threw it at will, which seemed to be pleasant and natural, but in fact he remembered the location where he threw the small iron kettle into the lake.
Between the boats and lotuses, the green leaves and fields.
The lake is bursting, puffing, crisp and good-sounding.
It's like every now and then a frog jumping from a boat into the lake.
When the boat sailed out of the lotus field, the small iron kettle had all sunk into the lake, and the sky was already covered by rain clouds, and I don't know if it was twilight or when.
Ning Que stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the shore of the lake that was getting closer and closer, the Yanming Mountain on the shore was a little steep, but not high, squinted his eyes, and the lake breeze that was much cooler than yesterday hit his cheeks, which was very comfortable.
The boat reached the south shore, the two landed in the forest, pulled grass all the way and walked on the road, and finally walked on the peak of Yanming Mountain, the peak is not high, but can overlook the lake.
Ning Que looked at the courtyard on the north shore of the lake, looked at the lines that loomed between the eaves of the flowers and trees, and silently compared it with the formation left by the seventh senior sister in his heart, confirming that there was no deviation.
"If Haotian can give me enough time to connect this lake and mountain with the Amazing God Array, then I believe I can kill whoever I want here. ”
Just after he said this, it seemed that Haotian could no longer tolerate his arrogance and arrogance, and a bright light suddenly flashed in the depths of the dense rain clouds in the sky, and then there was a rumbling thunder.
The torrential rain fell without warning, and instantly turned into countless water curtains, enveloping the entire Chang'an City, and Yanming Lake and Yanming Mountain were silent in the rain.
At the moment when the lightning and thunder roared, Sang Sang opened the big black umbrella as fast as he could.
Ning Que looked up at the black umbrella and said, "It's easy to be killed by an umbrella during a thunderstorm." ”
"You said it when you were a child, but we weren't hacked to death. ”
Ning Que sighed and said, "It's really a very magical world, then close your eyes and feel it." ”
Heavy rain is like a note.
Thunder and lightning.
Sangsang stood on the edge of the cliff, facing the uneasy lake, closing his eyes tightly and clutching the handle of the big black umbrella.
I don't know how long it took.
Ning Que asked with a solemn expression, "How do you feel?"
Sangsang opened his eyes, and the brightness in his eyes was better than the lightning in the rain clouds.
"I can feel a qiē. ”
(It's really gone today, see you tomorrow...... Now it's a daytime book, it's really uncomfortable, and my eyes are always flowering, but it seems to be efficient, and I hope it can continue. (To be continued)
