Chapter 43: The Legend of Fuxian Mountain
At dawn, Ji Yao went to find Mu Fan.
"Mu Fan, today is to tell the story of Fuxian Mountain. Ji Yao reminded.
"Let's go. Mu Fan nodded, how could he forget that he promised Ji Yao that day to listen to the story of Fuxian Mountain.
The two of them left the New Year's Mansion and followed the boy on the side.
came to the teahouse, and the two found a vacant seat and sat down.
"Have you heard the story of Fuxian Mountain?" the storyteller asked the people in the audience.
"I've heard it, Fuxian Mountain, I've been listening to it since I was a child. The audience waved their hands and said, "If you're telling that story, that's it, I don't know which one is here." ”
The storyteller smiled slightly, as if he had already guessed the reaction of the people below.
"What I'm talking about today is about Fuxian Mountain, but ......" The storyteller paused, looked at the people in the audience carefully, and the people in the audience all pricked up their ears to listen to him, "What I said today is different from what you have heard." ”
"It's different, why is it different?"
"Isn't Fuxian Mountain just that legend, can there be other stories?"
The audience chattered.
"Ahem, I also happened to hear this story, and today, it is convenient for you to tell it in detail. ”
"Everyone knows that Fuxian Mountain was an ordinary mountain thousands of years ago, but after that incident, it was called Fuxian Mountain, why is it called Fuxian Mountain? ”
Ji Yao listened and turned her head to look at Mu Fan. She has been on that mountain for so many years, and she hasn't seen a single immortal, but she has seen a lot of monsters, so if you want to say that there are immortals, does Mu Fan count?
"We all know that, it's no different. The audience said.
The storyteller didn't care, hehe smiled.
"You only know that Fuxian Mountain is pressing the immortals, do you know why it is pressing the immortals, what immortals are pressing?" the storyteller asked, and the audience was quiet.
The storyteller watched with satisfaction as everyone reacted.
"It is said that a thousand years ago, it was still the Cangyuan Dynasty, and the Cangxian King took his favorite queen, Queen Zhizhen, to play at sea......"
"I saw that there was a small island in the sea, the island was full of fairy mist, the flowers and trees were all unseen in the world, the flowers had a finger-sized fairy dancing, the fruit on the tree was colorful, as if made of gold, silver and jade, pick it down and take a look, the one was full, eat it in the mouth, that taste, tsk......" The storyteller smacked his lips decently, which led to a sigh of embarrassment in the audience.
"Then the King of Hades and Queen Zhizhen led everyone to the island...... A majestic palace on the island......"
Ji Yao listened very seriously, but it became more and more mysterious later, but everyone else seemed to be fascinated. Looking at Mu Fan again, he was still drinking tea unhurriedly, looking very comfortable leisurely.
"You said he was telling the truth?" Ji Yao couldn't help but ask.
"Do you think it's true?" Mu Fan asked rhetorically.
"Half-truths. Ji Yao thought for a while and said.
"Oh, then tell me, which is true and which is false?" Mu Fan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Yao.
"Well, it's true that this King of the Hades and Queen Zhizhen are swimming in the sea, this island is too exaggerated, not like a fairy island, but like a demon island that confuses everyone, maybe this storyteller is too exaggerated. ”
"Hehe, clever, it's an exaggeration. Mu Fan smiled.
Ji Yao blinked and stared at Mu Fan, oops, just now, did he smile?
Looking at it again, Mu Fan had already recovered his expressionless face, and Ji Yao shuddered, becoming really fast.
"Not long after Queen Zhizhen returned to the palace, she became seriously ill, and she couldn't even save the prince in her belly, so she died...... The King of the Underworld was furious, found a capable person, and vowed to let the immortals on that island pay for the lives of Queen Zhizhen...... In the end, the immortal was imprisoned in the Fuxian Mountain, and he was never allowed to come out again until the King of the Immortal agreed to release him......" The storyteller took a sip of water after speaking.
"The name of our guard town was also handed down at that time. The audience thought for a while and said.
"yes, to hear you say that, your story is quite believable. The man next to him chimed in.
"Yes, I heard that there was a treasure on that mountain, and the immortal made a mistake and was punished to guard the treasure and not leave, it turned out to be related to the Cangying Dynasty thousands of years ago. ”
Ji Yao didn't want to listen to other people's nonsense, thinking that it was time to go back to see Mrs. Miaofu, so Mu Fan went back to the Nian Mansion together.
Nianfuli.
Ji Yao carefully checked Mrs. Miaofu's food, and after finding no problems, the maidservant went to Mrs. Miaofu's house with the food.
"Well, what's the matter with the scent in Lady Miaofu's house?" asked Ji Yao, stopping a maidservant.
"Oh, it was the spice that the butler Ping bought, and it was said that it was offered in front of the Bodhisattva in the temple, which can calm the mind and protect the fetus, drive away evil spirits and save life, and Mrs. Miao Fu smelled it and liked it, so she kept it lit in the room. ”
"That's right. Ji Yao nodded and asked the maid to retreat.
Spices, huh.
After arranging Mrs. Miaofu's food, Ji Yao and Mu Fan walked around the Nian Mansion together.
Instead of walking by a few maidservants, seeing that both of them were red-faced, he hurriedly bowed his head and left after greeting softly.
"Hehe, brother, you also smile more, always have a straight face, you see, the girls are scared away by you. Ji Yao shook the folding fan in her hand and asked Mu Fan jokingly, now that her status in the Nianfu is not ordinary, it seems that Mu Fan will not do anything ugly to her in the Nianfu anymore.
"What are you laughing at when you have nothing to do?" Mu Fan glanced at Ji Yao out of the corner of his eye, his face was lukewarm.
"Brother, you're really boring. Ji Yao said helplessly.
"Boring, you like to be funny?" Mu Fan turned his head and asked.
"Interesting people are naturally likable. Ji Yao replied.
"What you like and what you don't like, that's just obsession, love is the poison of practice, it's better for you to touch less. Mu Fan looked at Ji Yao who was shaking the fan and said.
Ji Yao was dumbfounded, he talked to her about this kind of thing again, inexplicably, he had always disliked her to fall in love, he didn't allow anything related to feelings, he didn't like it, and then he didn't allow her to like it, but now that he said something else, he could think of that aspect sensitively. However, Mu Fan didn't say much to her, and walked forward past her.
Ji Yao hurriedly followed.
Unconsciously walked to the compound of the Nian Mansion.
This courtyard is the largest and best in the Nian Mansion, and the residence of the old man is here.
There were many trees planted in the yard, such as camphor and locust trees, but two of them attracted Ji Yao's attention.
Two unusually tall plane trees.
"Hehe, this tree grows so well. Ji Yao reached out and touched the trunk, "It's just a pity." ”
"Oh, what did Ji Gongzi say about it?" A voice came from behind him, Ji Yao turned around, and saw Steward Ping coming over.
"It turned out to be Butler Ping, is Butler Ping okay?" Ji Yao took the fan and arched his hand.
"It's okay, it's okay. Steward Ping walked up to Ji Yao and Mu Fan, and bowed his hand to the two, "I heard Ji Gongzi say it's a pity just now, what makes Ji Gongzi feel a pity?"
