Volume 1 The Adventures of a Young Man Chapter 55 The Gift of the Lotus Under the Moon
When Yu Chengan saw the middle-aged man from afar, his expression couldn't help but change slightly.
Shen Qi noticed the change in Yu Cheng'an's demeanor, but the other party didn't seem to mean to say it, so Shen Qi had no intention of asking.
Jiu'er didn't have much interest in this matter in the first place, but she just glanced at it from a distance and stopped paying attention, but Wan Lejing still turned her head excitedly and said: "Sister Jiu'er, do you guess that fat uncle bought rouge gouache to give to his wife, or his mistress?
Jiu'er was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out her finger and knocked on Wan Lejing's forehead, and said, "What is in your head......? Where did you learn all these foul words?"
Yu Chengan also came back to his senses, and looked at Wan Lejing with some surprise, and his expression was also puzzled.
Wan Lejing pouted and touched the place where Jiu'er knocked her, and said a little aggrieved: "It's all from the novel!"
At this time, Shen Qi seemed to remember something, and said, "Is it called what...... "Domineering Shopkeeper Look at Me"?"
"Yes, yes!" Wan Lejing said excitedly: "Brother Shen Qi, have you seen it too?"
Shen Qi scratched his head with a smirk and said, "No, I haven't seen it, it's my fifth sister who told me." As soon as I heard the words you said by Sister Jing'er, the same as those said by the fifth sister, I suddenly thought of it. I didn't expect to guess it right, hehe......"
Jiu'er and Yu Cheng'an had black lines on their faces, and said secretly: What is this? Do children nowadays watch this kind of boring thing?
Although Shen Qi said that he only knew the plot in the book roughly enough, Wan Lejing chatted with Shen Qi as if he had found a soulmate.
This made Jiu'er and Yu Cheng'an on the side couldn't help but be stunned.
Wan Lejing also seemed to be a little carried away, and all kinds of tiger and wolf words came as soon as she opened her mouth, so that Jiu'er had to change the topic with a black face.
Yu Cheng'an next to him also seemed to have a ghostly expression, and his gaze at Wan Lejing was extremely strange.
Time passed slowly, and the vast majority of people were already in the backyard.
Seeing that the people who came back had an expression of amazement on their faces, Shen Qi couldn't help but be even more curious about the legendary Moon Lotus.
The food on the table in front of the individual has long since been removed. At present, everyone is slowly tasting the "fog tea", which is also one of the five treasures.
When Xu Xiude told everyone that this was one of the five treasures, "Fog Tea", Jiu'er couldn't help but look at Shen Qi with a strange gaze.
This stupid boy really guessed it!
At the same time, Jiu'er couldn't help but be secretly stunned by Lingshanguan's generosity.
This is one of the five treasures, and it has been taken out to entertain guests like this! What is the purpose of the Lingshan Temple? Is it just to show that you have many treasures? Jiu'er was very skeptical.
However, on the other hand, Shen Qi looked plain and normal, and he didn't show any surprise at this "fog tea".
Could it be that in the face of one of the Five Treasures, he can also maintain his true heart? It seems that I underestimated him! Jiu'er couldn't help but secretly say.
Who knows the next moment......
"Hey...... This tea is nothing but light and oily!Compared to what I just eat, the taste is simply far worse......" Shen Qi muttered in a low voice.
Jiu'er couldn't help but sigh, and said in her heart: Sure enough, I still think highly of him!
After a while, a little Taoist boy who was about fourteen or fifteen years old walked up to Shen Qi's table and bowed his hand, "Distinguished guests, please go to the backyard to watch the moon lotus." ”
Wan Lejing took the lead and said: "Everyone else has finished reading it, Senior Brother Lin, go and rest, I'll take Sister Jiu'er and them." ”
Xiao Daotong glanced at Wan Lejing, then nodded and said, "Okay, senior sister." By the way, Master said that since several distinguished guests are the last ones, they can go together, but don't talk loudly, so as not to alarm the elixir. ”
Shen Qi and the others all nodded in agreement.
Led by Wan Lejing, the three of them walked through the long corridor, and finally after a corner, they saw the white lotus flower in full bloom in the pond.
"That's it...... Moon Lotus?" Shen Qi asked in a low voice.
"Uh-huh!" Wan Lejing nodded in response.
It was a strange lotus, at first glance it was snow-white, not much different from ordinary lotus, but if you look closely, there is a faint golden halo on the lotus, which is extremely strange.
The bright moonlight sprinkled the white moonlight, rendering the lotus under the moon holy and mysterious.
"It's so beautiful...... Jiu'er's eyes were a little confused.
As a girl, she has a natural love for flowers and plants, not to mention a strange spiritual flower like the moon lotus.
Not to mention Jiu'er, even Yu Chengan couldn't help but show an obsessive look, as if he was admiring a stunning beauty.
It was Shen Qi, the moment he saw the lotus under the moon, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.
Familiar?
Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned, how could it be...... Familiar?
The name "Moon Lotus" is the first time I've heard it today. How can there be a sense of familiarity? I have obviously never seen it! Shen Qi couldn't help but feel very strange.
But every time Shen Qi looked at the lotus under the moon, he would feel a sense of familiarity.
Familiar...... Where exactly have you seen it......
Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed through Shen Qi's mind.
Two-color and snow lotus!
That's right, that's how it feels! Shen Qi couldn't help but feel excited.
The feeling that the moon lotus gave Shen Qi was the same as when he first saw the two-color and the snow lotus. The same cold and noble, the same vitality, the same proud independence.
Like, it's so much like!
Shen Qi couldn't help but take two steps closer and stared at the Moon Lotus carefully.
The flower pattern is also very similar to the two-color snow lotus!
Could it be ...... What is the connection between the two?
Shen Qi couldn't help but be attracted by the moon lotus, and walked over step by step.
At this time, the three of Jiu'er suddenly woke up, and when they saw Shen Qi's movements, the three of them couldn't help but change their expressions.
"Shen Qi!" Jiu'er snorted, and was about to step forward and drag Shen Qi down.
As soon as she took half a step, her shoulder was caught.
Jiu'er couldn't help but look back.
The one who held her shoulder down was actually a Dao aunt.
At first glance, she looked like a woman in her thirties with still charm, but when she looked closely, she found that she already had crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and her hair was gray, making it difficult to judge her specific age.
"Division...... Master!" Wan Lejing couldn't help but be surprised, and was just about to salute Daogu, but was held down by the other party's other hand, and what Wan Lejing was about to say was also choked back.
Yu Cheng'an, who also looked shocked, just wanted to speak, but Dao Gu shook her head at him, made a "shhh" gesture, and then motioned for the three of them to look at Shen Qi.
The three of them fell silent and turned their gaze to Shen Qi.
At this moment, Shen Qi seemed to have entered a strange state, and walked towards the Moon Lotus step by step with an indifferent expression.
Moon Lotus also seemed to sense Shen Qi's presence, and the golden light emanating from her body was even more obvious.
By the time Shen Qi came back to his senses, he had already walked to the edge of the pond, and he was only two feet away from the Moon Lotus. As long as Shen Qi stretched out his hand, he could touch this legendary elixir.
But Shen Qi was a little dazed, scratched his head, and wanted to look at Jiu'er. But for some reason, he suddenly felt that the moon lotus in front of him seemed to be calling him.
Shen Qi had to fix his gaze on the moon lotus again.
That strange intimacy reappeared, and it was countless times stronger than before.
Shen Qi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then opened his mouth, a little dry.
"You...... Hello?" said Shen Qi.
Immediately, he couldn't help but pout, secretly calling himself stupid.
A flower, no matter how magical it is, can't communicate with people, right?
Who knew that the moon lotus actually trembled slightly!
Shen Qi was taken aback, he didn't think it was his own dazzle.
"You understand me...... Right?"
Moon Lotus trembled slightly again.
Sure enough, it's not dazzling......! It really understands!
This is...... What is the situation? Shen Qi couldn't help but be shocked.
Although he took the initiative to try to communicate with Yuexia Lian before, when Yuexia Lian really reacted, Shen Qi was shocked and angry.
Lotus under the moon, but it is a medicine, it is a plant!
Plants can understand human speech!
Although he had learned from Jiu'er that the elixir was a miraculous medicine with spiritual sense, when he actually saw it, Shen Qi only felt unbelievable.
Swallowing again, Shen Qi asked tentatively, "Are you waiting for me?"
The moon lotus trembled slightly.
"Do you want me to take you?"
This time, there was no reaction from the moon lotus.
"No...... Isn't it......" Shen Qi couldn't help but shake his head again, and then spoke: "You...... What do you have to do with the two-color and Snowlyn, right?"
The moon lotus did not move.
Shen Qi was stunned, guessed wrong?
At this time, the moon lotus actually turned slightly, and the water surface under it was covered with a slight ripple.
Somehow, Shen Qi actually felt a pain in his heart.
"You ......"
Immediately afterwards, three golden objects floated on the water surface under the lotus under the moon.
"This is ......" Shen Qi was taken aback and blurted out: "Your lotus seeds?"
The moon lotus trembled slightly, and the amplitude was significantly smaller than before. Shen Qi noticed that the golden brilliance on its body seemed to have faded a lot.
"You...... Are you alright?" Shen Qi couldn't help but be a little worried.
The moon lotus shook lightly a few times, as if urging Shen Qi to pick up the lotus seeds.
Shen Qi gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to pick up three golden lotus seeds from the water.
The lotus under the moon moved again, and it seemed that Shen Qi was happy to accept the lotus seed.
"Thank you!" Shen Qi sincerely bent down to thank him.
However, this time, the lotus under the moon did not respond to him again, but bloomed quietly under the moon as it did when they first met.
Shen Qi solemnly put the lotus seeds in the linden kun wooden box, looked at the lotus under the moon, and turned his gaze to Jiu'er's side.
"You...... You are ......" Shen Qi obviously discovered Dao Gu.
Dao Gu raised her hands and made a gesture to Shen Qi and Jiu'er, signaling to go out and talk.
Shen Qi was a little apprehensive.
To be honest, Dao Gu is the person of this Lingshan View at a glance. As a guest, he took away part of the elixir cultivated by the master, and was seen by the master, no matter how you say this kind of thing, you are at your own expense!
Dao Gu walked in the front, and Shen Qi slowly followed the three of Jiu'er, but found that the eyes of the three of them were full of surprise when they looked at him. Shen Qi scratched his head a little embarrassedly and did not speak.
After a while, a group of five people arrived in a courtyard.
Dao Gu turned around and sat down on the stone bench on the side, and then beckoned Shen Qi and the others to sit down.
"Master. Wan Lejing hurriedly bent over.
Jiu'er and Yu Cheng'an heard Wan Lejing shouting Gu Shizu before, so they were not surprised, and bowed down with Wan Lejing.
Shen Qi was a little surprised.
Doesn't that mean that this Dao Gu in front of you is Xu Xiude's master? That is, Wei Deng's predecessor asked in front of the Taoist temple......
Shen Qi didn't have time to think about it, so he also bowed.
"Cultivators don't have that many rituals. Dao Gu said, "You all sit down, I have something to say to you." ”
Wan Lejing was the first to get up, she smiled at Dao Gu, and then found a seat and sat down.
Jiu'er and Shen Qi glanced at each other, and then sat down as they said.
Yu Chengan saw that the three of them were seated, and it was inappropriate for him to stand any longer, so he also sat down next to Wan Lejing.
Dao Gu glanced at the four young people and said slowly, "The four of you are very good. ”
Everyone was taken aback, and then waved their hands a little embarrassed.
Only Jiu'er's eyebrows furrowed slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Dao Gu looked at Shen Qidao and said, "That little friend, what's your name?"
Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: It won't be that you want me to hand over the golden lotus seeds, right?
Dao Gu seemed to have guessed Shen Qi's thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, although Lao Dao cherishes the lotus under the moon, since she is willing to give you the lotus seed, it means that you are destined." This is your fate, and you can't ask for it. ”
Shen Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "The junior Shen Qi is from Yingxue Mountain Villa. ”
"It turned out to be the Bailu Yashen family. No wonder......" Dao Gu nodded, revealing a look of "I see".
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that Shen Qi was able to get the approval of the Moon Lotus, what was the reason why he couldn't?
Dao Gu smiled and said, "Shen Qi Xiaoyou, do you know that Shen Qi, the famous 'human slaughter' of the rivers and lakes back then?"
When Shen Qi heard this name, his expression immediately froze, and then he nodded with a cold face.
Shen Qi is a demon who kills people without blinking! An executioner who treats human life like a mustard! The same is true of ...... Shame on the Snow Villa!
That's right, Shen Qi is from Yingxue Mountain Villa, not only that, but he is also the previous Shen Yi! He inherited a hundred years of internal strength, and was once known as the holy son of Yingxue Mountain Villa on the first day in the past fifty years!
It is said that before Shen Qi, there were nine holy sons in each generation of Yingxue Mountain Villa.
But Shen Qi brutally killed Shen Jiu, the youngest of that generation! Therefore, in order to remember the shame, Yingxue Mountain Villa reduced the number of Holy Sons to seven.
It is said that when Shen Qi traveled out of the mountains, he secretly learned the ancient evil skills, which led to a great change in his temperament and became a murderous "human slaughter".
Among the countless people he killed, one was Shen Qi's father, Shen Chengchong, the eldest son of Shen Wuming, the third master of Yingxue Mountain Villa.
That's right, Shen Qi is Shen Qi's father-killing enemy.
Later, under the siege of Wulin Zhengdao, he was killed at the Yunhe crossing, and his body was thrown into the Yunxian River, allowing the fish to eat.
But Shen Qi didn't understand why Dao Gu wanted to mention this big devil.
Dao Gu looked at Shen Qi, and then spoke: "This moon lotus is the one that Shen Qi transplanted here. ”
