Chapter 8 Bamboo House in the Empty Valley
By the time the two of them slowly reached the top of the slope, the sun had already hidden half of their bodies in the eastern horizon.
The emaciated boy looked very tired. The girl told him that she was going to work and asked him to take a break next to him. Li wanted to ask if he needed help? The girl smiled and said later. The little boy was starting to get a little more human, and she walked to a flat field.
Li Xiang sat down slowly. He was curious, there was only grass here, could it be that the girl was going to weave two sleeping bags out of grass blades?
The girl stood still in the middle of the flat ground, suddenly turned around, and asked a little mischievously if she wanted to see her do a trick, and Li Xiang nodded.
The girl sat down on her knees and gently touched the blades of grass with her two hands. Only then did Li Xiang notice the delicate bracelet that the girl's left arm was wearing, the bracelet emitted a soft white light, and the blade of grass that was touched glowed yellow-green. He wasn't sure if it was a ritual or a spell, and he tried not to make a sound. The girl's expression was solemn, as if she was muttering, and gradually, a red clover mark appeared on the girl's eyebrows, and her already beautiful face became more and more delicate. The lit clover mark flickered slightly, and the touched blades of grass also shone slightly, and then an incredible scene appeared, the grass around the girl put together the blades of grass, and began to sink into the soil, and in less than half a minute, the grass retracted into the soil and disappeared, leaving an open space of about thirty square meters. The girl took out a cyan seed from her satchel, the seed had four silver stripes, similar in size to a dragon's eye, and the girl placed it in the center of her eyebrows, and as the clover mark flashed again, the seed glowed white. Five minutes later, the girl lowered the seed into a small pit in front of her, but the white seed cracked when it touched the soil, and a small green bud emerged, and thick roots burrowed from under the small bud, scrambling to dig into the soil. The girl stood up, turned and walked quickly out of the clearing, and stood still in the grass not far away.
After waiting for a minute, the small buds lying on the ground suddenly began to grow wildly, and soon grew into a two-finger-thick cuboid, the top surface of the cuboid arched upwards from the middle, and when the cuboid was the thickness of an arm, the bulging part could be faintly felt as a ridge. Li Xiang's mouth was slightly open, his eyes were glazed, and his spirit was in a state of half-dementia and half-madness. At this time, if he still can't guess what the girl has done, then he has really lived up to his self-proclaimed superior intelligence. Li Xiang, who claims to have read all the classic passages, never expected that a house could grow out of the ground, and it would rise in the wind, simply like blowing a balloon. In a few minutes, the small house had grown to half a meter long, and there seemed to be an invisible hand carved on it, and a few thin lines were hooked, and there were two more doors and two windows; when the house grew to the size of a coffee table, the doors and windows were formed, and the outer wall was sketched with bamboo at this time, and thatch began to grow from the ridge of the roof, and once the thatch grew, it spread wantonly; when the house grew to the size of a dining table, a pocket grass-roofed bamboo house was already formed.
The bamboo hut here is still growing wildly in the setting sun, but the girl over there has found a long veil out of nowhere, draped over her body, the ponytail has been untied, and her hair is falling, fluttering in the wind with the veil. A simple girl turns into an old-fashioned fairy. The yarn dances, the red lips are lightly opened, the voice is ethereal and clear, and the song is like hanging high in the clouds, and it seems to be swimming with the wind.
The slanting sun falls and the smoke dances,
Blowing a roll of remnant clouds who combs the green silk.
Lonely only to get together,
Annoyed hair, wrinkled the heart lake.
Plant a hut full of old books,
The book is yellow, no one reads it.
The lights and candles burn out and leave the sorrow.
The girl's dance is born from classical dance, but the rhythm is very unique, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, fast like a spinning top, sometimes slow like a snail. It's not an edited video, and you can slow it down. Under such a large gravity, Li Xiang thinks that he is faltering, whether the girl's dance steps are fast or slow, they need muscles with strong explosive power and excellent control, even on the earth, this set of movements may not be completed by a few people. The girl is at her fingertips and is familiar with it. The girl has given Li Xiang too much shock today. Li Xiang sometimes looked at the growing bamboo house, and sometimes at the girl dancing solo, and hated himself for having lost a pair of eyes.
The afterglow dissipated, the red moon and the white moon couldn't wait to jump out to brush their presence, the orange and white light blended into a warm white light sprinkled on the earth, compared to the earth, the moonlit night here is not cold. The light is also very strong, and the details of the scenery from 100 meters away are still clearly recognizable.
moon cage light yarn clear wave song,
Crumple a pool of lake water who carries the beauty to cross.
Light yarn is only because no one caresses it,
Drunk sideburns, lost eyes.
Gather a touch of Fanghua and whisper softly,
The year is coming, where are the people.
Chasing the wind and the moon to stir up the fog.
The singing and dancing continued, the bamboo house had almost occupied the open space, and the blades of grass on both sides and behind the bamboo house had been rolled into cylinders, on which small bamboo knots appeared, and small bamboo branches poked out of the bamboo knots. In front of the house and behind the house, there was this bush, that cluster of pocket bamboo forest. Then, the bamboo grew taller and began to replicate the savage growth of the bamboo house.
Unintentionally untie Luo's shirt, push the door to go to the road,
Empty Valley Hunting, but who is making green bamboo.
Thousands of miles away, you can know people on the way,
I have seen a tree in the clouds.
Piccolo sighed softly, riding the wind to watch the sunrise,
Holding a firewood fence, I am willing to close the morning light all over the house.
Return, return,
Wait for you to listen to the flower explanation.
The song stops and dances, the bamboo shadows sway, the sound of the bamboo waves, the clouds cover the clouds, the moonlight is shining, and the wind in the empty valley is blowing. The originally monotonous grassland, with this bamboo forest and bamboo house, has more vitality and vitality. The girl had already put away the light veil, reverted to a girl next door, and came to Li Xiang with a smile, "Is it good-looking?"
Li Xiang replied: "Good-looking!"
"That's it?"
"People are good-looking, dances are good-looking, and songs are good. ”
"It's gone again?" the girl was a little unwilling.
Li Xiang thought about it seriously: "The ballad seems to be a bit poignant. ”
The girl pouted and gave up dwelling on the issue. This ballad was written by her great-grandmother during a trip to her great-grandfather, and tells the story of the pain of parting and longing. Because the lyrics have the sun, moon, clouds, house, and bamboo, the girl felt that it was still suitable for the occasion, so she chose this song. As soon as she spoke, the girl felt that something was wrong, although it was a separation between husband and wife, but after all, it was a separation. But thinking that Li Xiang was a little stiff and unreasonable before, he didn't stop, thinking that it would be good for him to be sentimental about his brother's parting, but who knew that this wood didn't react at all. But after thinking about it, it's okay if you don't understand, if you really let him cry and sweat, it will be too inauthentic.
The girl smiled, pointed to the bamboo house and said, "Take you on a tour." ”
There are two rooms in the room, divided into left and right, push the door in, the furnishings are very simple, only a bed, it is said to be a bed, in fact, it is a raised rectangular platform that grows from the floor, and there is a layer of fluffy blanket on the bed, soft and fluffy, and the right side is connected to the platform, but it grows from the platform. There is a bamboo pipe in the corner of the room that slopes upwards. However, the touch is not as hard as bamboo, and it is easy to bend, and if you break the nozzle downward, there will be clear water flowing out. On the top of the bamboo pipe is a round mirror, and there is a round hole about thirty or forty centimeters in the corner of the wall, which is both a drainage outlet and a toilet. The inner wall of the room is not the bamboo wall that Li Xiang thought, but it is pale yellow gelatinous, the color is very similar to rosin, but it is softer than rosin, and it is also elastic. The window is covered with a layer of window film, with some ground-glass effect. There is also a light on the ceiling, which is not bright. The girl's room was furnished in the same way.
Regarding the simplicity of the furnishings in the room, the girl explained that the catastrophe is approaching day by day, and Yu Wan needs more resources to maintain the stability of the space-time gate, so she can save a little.
"The Great Tribulation, is that trouble, who is Yu Wan, the savior?" Li Xiang asked with a frown. It's only been a few hours since he crossed over, but there are too many shocks to be calmed down, and too many questions to be answered for him.
But the girl did not rush to answer his question, "Let's go out for a bite to eat first, if you want to know, I will try to tell you, but here is completely different from home, you need to understand it thoroughly, it will take some time." The girl turned and walked out of the house. Li wanted to stop the girl, but found that he didn't know what other people's names were, so he got stuck when he said "who is that". "What?" the girl turned and looked at him with a smirk.
Li Xiang scratched his head again, rubbed his hands again, very embarrassed, and said that he didn't know how to call the other party.
The girl smiled: "I thought you would never want to know my name?" Li Xiang blushed, but the girl didn't mean to tease Li Xiang, and stretched out her hand generously, "My name is Yang Mingshu, Sun and Moon Ming, female Zhu Shu, just call me Mingshu." ”
Li Xiang quickly shook Yang Mingshu's hand lightly, and quickly pulled away, "Hmm, Mingshu, hmm...... Shu, what does it mean to be beautiful?"
Seeing him clumsily hiding his embarrassment, Mingshu smiled and turned around and walked outside the house.
When Li wanted to move himself out, Mingshu didn't know when he planted a "fruit tree" in front of the bamboo house, it had grown, the stem was thick, and it bore five or six fruits, the fruit was huge, the size of a coconut, with only seven or eight leaves, and the leaves were like a spoon inserted in the stalk, which was a little weird.
Mingshu motioned for Li Xiang to sit down on the steps in front of the house, stepped forward to pick a fruit, patted his hand lightly on the fruit, clicked, and a crack opened at the top, turned his hand over, removed the top cover of the fruit shell, and handed the fruit to Li Xiang. Li Xiang looked at it, but the flesh in the shell was not the flesh he imagined, but it looked like a soup that had been cooked and processed, the soup was green and crystalline, and there were black beans floating in the middle. Mingshu folded another spoonful of leaves and handed it to Li Xiang. He also took the fruit and spoon leaves, and sat down beside Li Xiang. She said that this was the work of Master Qi Yun, and half of the reason why she came to Tao Tang this time was because she was greedy for Master Qi's dishes, and asked him for many cooked dishes. This 'black jade and blue stream soup', also known as 'strong fruit', is the best food to help improve physical strength.
"Try it, it's delicious. ”
Li Xiang scooped a spoonful of the entrance, a little warm, the taste is a bit like egg custard, smooth and delicious; the taste is salty and pleasant, slightly spicy, the soup enters the throat, the mouth is fragrant, and the "black beans" in the soup are very chewy, chew carefully, there is a faint fennel fragrance, very much like the champion beans of Nanjing Confucius Temple. Li Xiang was indeed a little hungry, and quickly finished eating this 'black jade and blue stream soup'.
Mingshu laughed at him for chewing peonies. Li Xiang ignored Mingshu's teasing, and just asked her how she did it?
Mingshu took the empty fruit shell from Li Xiang's hand, patted it next to the steps, and stretched out a thick hollow pipe stem from the ground, Ming Shu threw the empty fruit shell into it, patted it on the pipe stem, the pipe stem retracted, and the ground returned to the same as before.
"You asked me just now who is Yu Wan?" Ming Shu did not answer Li Xiang's question positively again, she pointed her finger at her head, "You must have a lot of questions here, such as why can a house grow in the ground? Can produce vegetables?Where is this?Why are you here?Why do we extradite you?What will you do?All the answers point to Yu Wan, and if you understand Yu Wan, you will find the answer."
"Then who is Yuwan?"
Mingshu pointed to the bamboo house, pointed to the bamboo forest, pointed to the strange vegetable and fruit tree, and pointed to the grass at his feet, it ...... It...... It...... They were all Yu Wan, and then she stood up and pointed her finger into the distance and circled: "All the plants you can see are Yu Wan." Yu Wan is omnipresent, and Yu Wan is the god of this world. ”
When he heard that all the plants were Yu Wan, Li Xiang suddenly realized that there was something wrong with this grass, the height and thickness were uniform, and it was actually Yu Wan's mimic "work".
Without waiting for Li Xiang to ask, Mingshu continued: "In terms of the external form of the body, Yu Wan is a tree. ”
