Chapter Twenty-Three: Frogs Singing in the Mountains
The three of them left the Lingzhi Spring and walked towards the Magu Wonderland. Cheng Liu talked about the legends of the seven sages of Nanyue, of course, these legends are not unfamiliar to Aunt Mei who came to Nanyue in her teens, and even added at the end, she said: "There are seven sages in Nanyue, one of which is a pine, two frogs, three stones, four fishing cloud people, five maples, six cypresses, and seven bamboos. ”
Chengliu actually didn't know much about the specific legends, but he didn't know that there were so many elegant things in Nanyue, so he believed that there were indeed books that recorded poems such as "Stone Murmur Spectrum", and he blamed himself for not learning and not knowing, and he was born and raised here, but he was so lonely and unheard.
Liu Nan was also fascinated by what he heard, but he had some doubts in his heart, and asked: "Aunt Mei, why are six of the seven sages things, but why is one of the sages a person?" Who is this cloud-fisherman? ”
Aunt Mei said: "Maybe it's not a person, but no one has seen it." Some people say that the man was Zhu Rong, the god of fire, who fished the sun out of the darkness when he was fishing in the clouds, and since then Nanyue has had light. ”
Liu Nan said: "No wonder this fourth sage is not a cloud, it is the cloud that envelops the sun, and it is a representative of darkness, so it cannot be called a sage." Ha ha...... I see! Liu Nan laughed heartily, just like the sun in spring, Chengliu was also fascinated.
Aunt Mei continued: "This Lingyun fishing sun shadow is to watch the sunrise from the top of Zhurong Peak on the clouds. The moment the sun jumps out of the sea of clouds, it is still dancing like a fish caught on the surface of the water with a fishing hook, which is very spectacular. ”
Liu Nan said: "I really want to go and see it." ”
Chengliu felt that he finally had a chance to perform, and said when he saw the stitches: "Then it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and go tomorrow!" ”
Liu Nan said: "School starts tomorrow!" Aunt Mei said, "There will be rain tomorrow." The two of them said at the same time, and Chengliu's words were sent back.
Cheng Liu had to laugh embarrassedly: "When I didn't say it." ”
Aunt Mei said: "The best season to watch the sunrise is at the turn of summer and autumn, the weather is refreshing, and the clouds and fog are not so heavy. Cheng Liu patted his head, and suddenly felt like an enlightenment, and said: "Alas, I actually forgot." ”
Liu Nan quipped: "Your geographical knowledge needs to be supplemented." ”
Between the words, Magu Wonderland has arrived. After dusk, the wind poured down from the distant mountain wall, and a slight coolness came to my heart. The sun has sunk into the West Ridge, and there are traces of night in the shade of the trees. Because of the special protection of the scenic spot, the landscapes, flowers and trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish here are all very nourishing. The fish swimming in the pool are so happy that there is no day and night, and when they see someone coming, they all wag their tails and play with their style. They rested for a moment, and the night grew deep in their nap.
Just as they got up to leave, the frog jumped in front of them. Liu Nan was taken aback and hurriedly shrank behind Aunt Mei. When Cheng Liu saw it, he couldn't help laughing: "It's just a frog." With that, he drove the frog into the water.
The sound of the frog entering the water "plop" actually caused a wave of frogs entering the water, and I only heard the sound of "plopping ......" continuously. At this moment, the lights of Magu Wonderland came on, and with the help of the light, they could clearly see a steady stream of frogs pouring out of the grass and bushes. Not only frogs, but also toads, moving densely into the pool, the scene is both spectacular and a little frightening. Liu Nan was so frightened that he closed his eyes, and Cheng Liu was so shocked by this spectacular scene that he saw for the first time in his life that he was speechless, only Aunt Mei was still calm.
After a while, the frogs had covered the surface of the pool, and their dense eyes were on the three people on the shore. At this time, the sound of frogs sounded, followed by several frogs, and gradually, the whole pool became a chorus square for the frogs. This chirp, although not deafening, can be regarded as thrilling. Nariyu hated frogs since he was a child, but today he doesn't have that bad feeling, because today's frogs are different, they seem to be deliberately preparing a show for themselves. At the same time, the people who came to see the frog today were different, even if Liu Nan was scared to the point of being earthy. So, for the first time, he felt that the frog chirping was so beautiful.
After a while, there were no more frogs entering the water, and their chirping gradually became neat, and this neat sound seemed to have a resonance in Cheng Liu's heart, so that a low but clear sound appeared in Cheng Liu's mind, like a frog's chirping. Cheng Liu followed the voice and read the frog chirping:
"The night is endless
The stars drip into an unswerving oath to death
To us linger among the boiling mountains
The love that spreads in the rice fields and mountain streams
Let the face stop in the middle of the night
Find another pair of affectionate eyes
Let the running water take away the loneliness
Cultivate in Huayan Lake
Our shouts
Plump up the mountains here
After the flowers, before the scorching heat
A love note in love
Climb on the eternal stone cliffs
To you and her sleepless ...... tonight," Cheng Liu, after reading, added, "This is listening to the croaking of frogs with your partner!" After speaking, she glanced at Liu Nan, who was still with her eyes closed, and Liu Nan was obviously not interested in this kind of manipulation. Aunt Mei smiled and said, "Let's go!" ”
Liu Nan heard Aunt Mei say to go, so he closed his eyes and asked anxiously, "Wait a minute, are there any frogs on the road?" Don't step on them. Cheng Liu's heart suddenly sympathized, he couldn't imagine that Liu Nan was still so loving, even if he was afraid, he wouldn't hurt, so he replied: "No, open your eyes." So saying, he picked up a branch and threw it into the water, and the timid frogs saw that something was coming, so they dive into the water in a panic.
Liu Nan cautiously opened his eyes, looked at the path in the distance, and continued: "Scared me to death, this thing is really scary, if you step on them, you have to disgust me to death." As soon as these words came out, Cheng Liu suddenly felt that she would be wrong, it turned out that she was afraid of disgust so she didn't step on them. He thought about it for a while, and when he saw frogs and toads all over the mountains, what girl wouldn't feel disgusting?
Leaving Magu Wonderland, the frog chirped behind him, the moon hung on the treetops, and the frog chirped with the three of them. The clouds in the sky and the moonlight kept competing for the void, which was a sign of rain, and the three of them quickened their pace and returned home. Cheng Liu found an opportunity when Liu Nan was not there, and asked Aunt Mei about Shi Mu and Frog Ming, and learned that Aunt Mei had the same special ability as Cheng Liu when she was a child, and she could hear the voice of the Seven Sages. The book that recorded "Stone Murmur Spectrum" is naturally nothing.
For safety, at the suggestion of Aunt Mei, Chengliu returned to the temple of consecration. In order to thank the Eight-Fingered Buddha, Chengliu donated all the money that Zeng confessed to himself to the temple.
