Volume 2 The Rise of Great Xia Chapter 2: The Second Lotus Seed
"I don't think you two are brothers, what about your family, why are you the only two of you here?" The old man asked.
"Don't hide it from this grandfather, the two of us are indeed not brothers, I am from Yinquan Town, Baiyun City, just because Brother Lingyun wants to come out to break in, I will accompany him out to break in, but in Songlin City, Brother Lingyun ate up the entanglement on my two bodies in one meal, and had to find someone to spend the night, as for the family, ......" Long Xuan explained here and looked at Lingyun.
"Brother Long Xuan, there's nothing you can't say. Ling Yun took over the conversation and said to the old man: "I am an orphan when I am free, and the adults in the town regard me as a disaster star, this time, I just want to see the excitement of the outside world, Brother Long is the son of the master of the Long family in the town, and he came out with me." ”
"Hidden Spring Town...... the old man thought for a moment, then drank the water in the cup in one gulp, pointed behind Ling Yun, and said, "You can live in the room over there, the bed and bedding are a little old, but they are also clean." ”
Long Xuan and Ling Yun looked back and saw a closed door directly behind Ling Yun, and a yellowed red paper blessing character was pasted on the door, and the paper was very smooth.
Ling'er anxiously pulled the old man's sleeve: "Grandpa, that's uncle's room!"
"Out of the way, out of the way. The old man smiled and touched the back of Ling'er's head, and then said to Ling Yun and the two: "Where was originally the dog's room, but now it is empty, you two can stay." ”
"Ahem...... the two looked at each other strangely, and just wanted to ask something, only to hear the old man cough twice and slowly stand up.
"I'm old, I have to go to bed early, the two little brothers are tired for a day, let's rest early!" Without waiting for the two to ask, the old man turned around and walked towards his house with the support of Ling'er, the two of them didn't want to ask again, shook their heads, drank a sip of water, turned around and walked to the door that the old man pointed to and pushed open the door and walked in.
The expected musty smell did not appear, on the contrary, there was a faint peculiar fragrance in the room, on one side of the room, there was a wooden bed against the wall, this bed was not big, but both of them were children, and they could sleep if they were squeezed, and a table was placed by the window opposite the bed, and there was a chair next to the table, and there was a green plant on the table.
The plant looks very small, and the roots that want to connect with the soil are very small, and the three leaves come out from here, and the more you reach the end, the larger the leaves, and finally form an arc, and when you look down from above, it is like three drops of turquoise water splashing out of the soil to the surroundings, and it seems that the peculiar fragrance is emanating from this plant.
After a brief glance at the room, Long Xuan walked to the side of the bed, lifted the futon and shook it, there was no dust and no smell, Ling Yun opened the window, and the cold moonlight spilled in from the window, just shining on the table.
"Brother Long Xuan, the little girl said that this is his uncle's room, why is this room empty? I wanted to ask the grandfather, but he seemed to be a little reluctant to talk. "Lingyun.
"How can I know that no matter what the reason, I should think about how I can get some money after today, or I will both starve tomorrow, and I can't stay here, I don't think their grandparents are rich people. Long Xuankick sat on the edge of the bed and responded.
Ling Yun thought that this was really the case, so he didn't ask any more questions, pulled out a chair and sat down, quietly looking at the plant on the table.
It was late at night, and Long Xuan on the bed was already asleep, only occasionally turning over, Ling Yun was lying on the table staring at the unknown plant, but he didn't feel sleepy.
The moonlight became colder and colder, and the fragrance emitted by the plant became more and more intense, and this fragrance turned into a faint breath with Ling Yun's breath and was inhaled by Ling Yun, Ling Yun only felt that his body was relaxed for a while, as if the whole person was floating in the clouds, and a lotus-like mark on his forehead gradually emerged.
Qingqi melted into Lingyun's blood, the blood in Lingyun's body faintly emitted a faint blue light, flowing rapidly, the plant slowly blurred in Lingyun's eyes, gradually growing bigger and bigger, and when Lingyun came back to his senses, he found himself standing in a foggy space, a green lotus appeared in the mist, emitting bursts of light......
The mist filled in the sea space dispersed to form a channel, Ling Yun involuntarily floated along this channel in the direction of Qinglian, as the distance got closer and closer, the green lotus in Ling Yun's eyes became bigger and bigger, until it was boundless.
Stepping on one of the petals of Qinglian, Ling Yun ran forward with ease, until he saw the light gate where the two petals were connected, Ling Yun rushed in without hesitation.
"Father!" Ling Yun's cry echoed in the center of Qinglian, and the first thing Ling Yun did after entering the lotus heart was to look for his father's wisp of divine sense, hoping to see his father again.
However, Ling Yun didn't get any response, and when he was secretly sad, a white light suddenly erupted from one of the outer holes in the thirty-six grid pit in Na Lian's heart, and a familiar scene reappeared.
Ling Yun looked at all this in front of him excitedly, until a lotus seed with complex runes appeared in mid-air, just when Ling Yun thought that the figure of the Blue Lotus Holy Ancestor was about to appear, the lotus seed did flash, and quickly rushed towards Ling Yun's forehead, and then disappeared into Ling Yun's eyebrows.
Ling Yun was in a trance for a while, Qinglian and the mist gradually dissipated in the trance, and faintly, the voice of the Qinglian Holy Ancestor came from Ling Yun's ears: "My son, Qinglian wood represents vitality and activates the Qinglian bloodline, although you have an endless lifespan, there will eventually be external dangers that threaten you, and the second lotus seed will open the recovery ability in your bloodline......"
"Father......" Ling Yun opened his eyes as he muttered, and the lotus mark on his forehead disappeared.
The plants in front of me are still green, but they feel a little old compared to before, and the strange fragrance in the room is much lighter.
Turning his head to look at Long Xuan, seeing that he was still asleep, Ling Yun lightly rolled out the window, stood outside the house, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
The moonlight was still cold, Ling Yun stayed quietly for a long time, and did not find any difference from usual, shook his head, rehearsed the claws of the Nine Demons, climbed into the room through the window, sat on the chair, and slept on the table.
In the early morning of the next day, a crisp sound of "clang" woke Ling Yun and Long Xuan from their sleep, and the two hurriedly jumped up and rushed out of the room.
As soon as he left the room, a sharp voice penetrated and echoed throughout the room: "Old immortal thing, your son's debt to us should be repaid!"
Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, Long Xuan involuntarily took two steps back, this voice Long Xuan was deeply impressed, just the woman who was dissatisfied with Long Xuan last night and slammed the door away.
Ling'er helped the old man out of the opposite room, Ling'er's eyes were a little red, she helped the old man to the table and sat down, and then rushed to the door angrily, opened the door and shouted outside: "Aunt Pan, uncle has never owed you, you have hurt your uncle!"
On the side of the door, there is a broken iron basin, the crisp sound of the square, obviously someone smashed the basin on the door, there are more than a dozen big men and a thin middle-aged man gathered outside the house, the fat woman stood in front of everyone, saw Ling'er open the door, and heard Ling'er's words, the fat woman suddenly crossed her hands on her waist, and the sharp voice came into the house again.
"Hey, little girl, how many times have you said it, call me sister, not aunt!" The fat woman took two steps forward, scared Ling'er back, she took out a white paper full of words, shook it proudly in front of Ling'er's eyes, and continued: "Your uncle's debt is not repaid, this contract is clearly written in black and white, and my sister naturally wants to come to the door to ask for an explanation." ”
"Nonsense, that's what you lied to your uncle to write. Ling'er was so anxious that she almost cried: "Besides, we have all given you the courtyard in the village, why don't you let us go?"
The fat woman stepped forward, pushed Ling'er away, and said as she stepped into the room: "Little girl, my sister can't tell you clearly, wait for me to talk to the old immortal in your family." ”
Ling'er was pushed away by the fat woman, and after two changes, she was about to fall, Ling Yun hurriedly ran over to help her, the little girl's nose was sore, and she threw herself into Ling Yun's arms and sobbed.
The fat woman glanced inwardly: "Yo, isn't this the two uneducated boys last night, how did they live here, it's really a thing and a group!" Then she ignored Ling Yun and Long Xuan, who had already clenched their fists, turned her head to the old man, and slammed the contract in her hand on the table, which made the table creak.
"Old man Zhang, don't blame me for speaking ugly, but you look at this contract, it was written by your Zhang Yunfei word by word, do you recognize it now?"
The old man didn't even look at the contract on the table, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he nodded.
"If you admit it, then you have to pay this debt today?" the fat woman pressed.
The old man smiled again, turned his head to Ling'er and instructed with a pleasant face: "Ling'er, don't cry, go and bring the potted plant in your uncle's room to Aunt Pan." ”
"It's my sister. The fat woman hurriedly added.
"But......" Ling'er was reluctant, but she still stood up from Ling Yun's arms, pinching the corners of her clothes with both hands and sobbing.
"Go, Ling'er listens to grandpa, and no one will disturb us in the future. The old man smiled and spoke.
After hesitating for a while, Ling'er finally listened to the old man's instructions, went to his uncle's room, took out the unknown plant that Ling Yun had been staring at for most of the night last night, put it on the table, and then pounced on the old man and cried.
This plant is still green, except for Ling Yun, others don't seem to see any difference, Ling Yun glanced at the old man suspiciously, and didn't say anything.
The old man smiled and patted Ling'er's shoulder gently, then looked up and asked the fat woman, "In this way, can we be considered clear?"
I don't know what kind of plant this is, the fat woman has never left this plant since Ling'er took it out, and she almost couldn't help but pounce on it and snatch the plant from Ling'er's hands, the greedy light in her eyes made Long Xuan and Ling Yun shudder.
Hearing the old man's question, the fat woman came back to her senses and hurriedly yelled outside the door: "Xiaoshun, where is the death, hurry up and come in and show my sister, is this genuine?"
A middle-aged man with a thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes rushed into the room quickly, staring at the living plant on the table in a daze, his eyes shining.
A flutter pounced directly on the table, stared at the plant carefully for a long time, the middle-aged man approached and sniffed with his nose, and finally took out a jade needle from his arms and slowly approached the plant.
Suddenly, at the moment when the jade needle touched the plant, the jade needle actually emitted a burst of light, Ling Yun and Long Xuan looked at it in surprise, and Ling'er also stopped crying, and raised her head in surprise to look at the glowing jade needle.
