Chapter 22: Autumn Leaves
It was autumn, and there were a few maple trees outside the Shuxing Pavilion in Yuyuntai, and the leaves were redder than the yellowing leaves around them. He Hongxue once asked his master why he only had these maple trees and didn't plant a maple forest directly. Master's reply was, "I don't know, they grow there like that." ”
He Hongxue sat against one of the maple trees, with a low table in front of him that had been moved out of the house, and under the paperweight was a painting being traced.
In order to make good use of the gold pen, He Hongxue obediently practiced painting, but most of them splashed ink and freehand, and rarely had fine brushwork. At this moment, she was holding a paintbrush and carefully drawing the Shuxing Pavilion in front of the picture. The Shuxing Pavilion in the painting is hidden among the layers of maple leaves, and the reddish-brown corridor lies quietly in the autumn sun, warm and peaceful.
He Hongxue usually has more time to babble and less quiet time, and her long black hair is tied in a simple bun, and the thin tassels are lowered by two golden steps, and the small pearl at the end is pendant next to her ear. The dark red gown was covered with a white tulle, a yellow silk tie tied the sleeves and hem, a pair of smooth forearms were connected to a pair of slender and powerful hands, at this moment He Hongxue held a paintbrush in his left hand, dipped some paint carefully, and carefully depicted the scenery in front of him.
Qin Kuang was really taken aback by what he saw when he arrived. He Hongxue he met had never been so elegant, even if the two had some unspeakable relationship, he had never imagined He Hongxue like this.
This picture is a little beautiful, and Qin Kuang rarely knows how to disturb this rare peace.
He Hongxue finally finished painting and rubbed her somewhat sore arm, only then did she see Qin Kuang standing nearby waiting for her.
"Something?" She didn't bother to be polite to him.
"Hmm...... No, just come and see, and the two children you brought back. ”
"Oh, this is the corner of the wall? Don't have any thoughts about them, we want these two children. He Hongxue packed up the painting materials, re-laid the painting, and the picture under the paperweight recorded the best appearance of Shuxing Pavilion this year.
A red leaf fell from the top of Qin Kuang's head and gently landed on the yellowed grass. It reminded him of those things in the secret realm that year.
At that time, a few of them had just killed the hydra, and several people got together to heal each other's injuries, and among their group, He Hongxue was the least injured, and He Xinyue gave her a simple treatment of the flesh wounds, and she jumped alive. After resting, she ran to the body of the hydra and began to dissect it, ignoring the dirt, and put the parts that could be used for research into her own bag, and everyone else was already exhausted, watching her busy there.
Huihai meditated and chanted, and other monks also meditated and rested.
"Xiaoxue, give me a bottle of hydra's blood." He Xinyue threw a small porcelain bottle to He Hongxue and asked her to collect some elixir materials for herself. He Hongxue was as good as a stream, filled her with a bottle slowly, stuffed the stopper hard, and jumped back and handed it to her.
"If this is the Ancient Fantasy Realm, it must be more than this dangerous magical beast." I heard that in ancient times, people and demons were mixed, and there were large and small demonic beasts everywhere, and small-scale conflicts between humans and demonic beasts could be seen everywhere. So what other adventures will there be in such a small world of illusion?
Everyone fell silent, the monks entered the small world to explore the secret in order to seek opportunities, and now this secret realm of mountains and seas not only has no natural treasures to grab, but it is full of dangers, and their lives have been threatened, and several people have the idea of retreating. But at this moment, the spells that contacted the sect had failed, and the people of the various sects were scattered everywhere, and it was lucky that a few of them could get together.
"I believe in our research on Yuyuntai, here the ancient world is sinking, and it has merged with other worlds to become what it is now." He Hongxue also joined the ranks of meditation, but her mouth kept talking, "So there must be good things here, and I don't plan to go out here." ”
She offered a gold pen, and the gold pen slowly swirled in front of her with a faint light, illuminating the darkness in front of her, "What about you? ”
The people present also included Huihai of Shiyin Temple, Qin Kuang of Xuanzhen Sword Gate, He Xinyue and He Xinyang sisters and brothers of Lingxi Valley. Huihai was the most seriously injured, but there were medical sisters and brothers here to deal with it in a timely manner, and there was no major problem for the time being.
"I'm not going out either." Qin Kuang was meditating on the side with the "remnant sun", the expression on his face was a little solemn, but he did not lose his edge.
"Then let's go shopping again." He Xinyang was lying on his sister's knee and was a little coquettish, with a baby face, and it was completely inconsistent to do this action at the age of dozens of years.
Hui Hai recited the Buddha's name, saying that since everyone could continue, how could he, a monk, abandon his Taoist friends and ignore it.
Just as a few people were repairing and chatting, a wail came from not far away, and it got closer and closer: "Help! Hongxue, are you here? ”
He Hongxue put away the gold pen and held it in his left hand, judged the direction of the sound, and the spiritual power instantly outlined the Yuyuntai Dao method "Wall Order Break", the complicated magic circle flew towards the source of the sound, and the next second a male cultivator in disarrayed clothes stumbled and ran in front of everyone, and the group of demonic beasts chasing him behind him was temporarily separated from the wall by the wall order and could not move forward.
"Ayi." He Xinyue recognized the comer, it was Yang Yi from Yuyuntai, this time he was thrown in from the laboratory with his collar.
"Drawing Shape, Taoism and Nature!" He Hongxue's spiritual power was injected into the gold pen, and a black ink-colored flame spread towards the group of demonic beasts between the splashes of ink, and the appearance of the demonic beasts struggling in the black flames looked weird and distorted.
He Hongxue was a little puzzled, although Yang Yi was not a monk who was good at fighting, he was not so bad that he couldn't even deal with a few demonic beasts. When I asked recently, I realized that his magic weapon, Yunxiao Flute, lost its power as soon as he entered this small world, so now he can't even cast the basic spells of Yuyuntai.
He Hongxue was puzzled, she turned the gold pen around her fingertips, and then looked at the "remnant sun" in Qin Kuang's hand, and an immature thought appeared in her mind.
The memories were interrupted, Qin Kuang was embarrassed to stand to the end, and helped He Hongxue move the painting tools and low table back to the house, He Hongxue was very satisfied with today's paintings, and hummed a little song to find a painting bucket and roll the painting. Speaking of which, this was the first time Qin Kuang had entered He Hongxue's room, but it was very different from what he imagined.
Just when He Hongxue thought that she could spend a leisurely day today, the sound transmission stone on her body that was specially connected with Zhang Mu rang again. "Hey, Dr. Zhang, ah no, Mr. Zhang, uh-huh, then I'll come right away, don't run around!"
Qin Kuang stopped He Hongxue, who was about to run out, but was gently pushed away by He Hongxue: "Busy, someone called me, you play in Yuyuntai by yourself, if you really have nothing to do, go to the laboratory to talk about life with Yang Yi." ”
He Hongxue wanted to take out the Tianzhou, but he was afraid that Qin Kuang would see the problem of his cultivation, so he hurried to the Spirit Beast Garden and found the dear "radish" with ease, the donkey that was scalded by the red water array and still bald.
"Come with me." As soon as she walked out of the door of the Spirit Beast Garden, she met Cen Yan who came straight to her, and she asked the radish: "Can you bring two people?" "The turnip grows and a donkey barks, indicating that you look down on me. She waved her hand at Cen Yan and asked him to sit on it too.
"Uncle Shi, where are we going?" Before he officially apprenticed, Cen Yan could only be regarded as a disciple of Yuyuntai, and all those of He Hongxue's generation could only be regarded as his uncle, as for whether to worship under her, he was still thinking about it.
"Go see the fun." He Hongxue didn't bother to explain, anyway, she should have known when she arrived, she rode a radish and took Cen Yan to carefully fly to the location indicated by Zhang Mu. I don't know if it's because the forage is in place this time, the radish is unusually obedient, so it goes east and never west, and it finds Zhang Mu's foothold - a farm very smoothly.
In fact, He Hongxue didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Mu's gourd, and the communication only said that there were beautiful things for her to enjoy, and the rest didn't say anything, when the two of them landed in front of him, he was a little happy, and felt that this young man was a little eyesore.
"What do you want me to see?"
"Look, is it pretty?" Zhang Mu took He Hongxue's slender fingers and walked out of the village, and after walking for a mile, a golden sunflower entered He Hongxue's eyes.
The fields under the setting sun are golden, and the huge flower disks of sunflowers twist towards the last sun, and there is no edge as far as the eye can see.
"Is it pretty?"
"That's ......"
"I just thought it was beautiful, so I wanted you to come and see it." Zhang Mu pulled He Hongxue's hand that he wanted to withdraw, "Somehow, I want to watch all the beautiful things with you." ”
He Hongxue could feel that her face was heating up, and hurriedly broke free of Zhang Mu's hand, and took out a pair of jade jue from the Qiankun bag driven by external spiritual power, which was the pair of eighth-order jade jue she had auctioned in the treasure hunting workshop, which was engraved with a delicate joyful Zen pattern. She grabbed Zhang Mu's hand, put half of the jade jue in the palm of his hand, and then slipped out of her sleeve with a gold pen, and a complicated spell entered the jade jue, and then He Hongxue took out several spirit stones to fill the jade with spiritual power.
After doing all this, she shook Zhang Mu's hand, blushed and said, "We can use this pair of things to contact in the future, don't look at it, I am also a girl no matter how I say it." According to the yin and yang direction of Huanxi Zen, she gave the yin half to Zhang Mu, and left the yang half for herself.
"I'll just give you that flask. I left the flask at home. He Hongxue realized that she was wearing women's clothes and came without changing, and at this moment, the last ray of sunset penetrated the transparent tulle on her body, and her steps shook quietly without sound.
Zhang Mu responded to her, clenched his fist and put things in his pocket, even if he didn't look at it, he could feel what it was from the sense of touch, his little concubine was very good at playing.
The sun finally disappeared on the horizon, Zhang Mu lowered his head and gently kissed He Hongxue's forehead.
