Chapter 24: Colorful Gourd

The group passed through the Zixian Pavilion and came to the Min Yue Pavilion after several twists and turns.

Min Yue Pavilion is a pavilion of eight immortals, and the eight horned dragons and phoenix dances of the pavilion can be called ingenious.

Around the Min Yue Pavilion, the low-legged fog of the early morning shrouded in the white glazed tree, which is a thousand-year-old sacred tree, and the glazed flower is the sacred flower on the glazed tree. Its flowers are bright in color and fragrant in smell.

"Miss, it just so happened that the glazed flowers were in full bloom recently, and my son-in-law ordered someone to make glazed flower cookies, you sit down and taste them. Bai Tang helped Princess Lanlun to sit down, and put a piece of glass flower biscuit with chopsticks and put it on the small plate opposite Princess Lanlun.

"Let me taste it first!"

"Why?"

"My young lady has to taste it before she eats. Wan Yi picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and praised it with satisfaction: "Well, it tastes good, princess, taste it." ”

"Really?" Princess Lan Lun looked at the small and delicate pastry on the plate and gently picked it up, and took a bite, the taste was cold and delicious, silky and strong.

"How is it?" Xiao Gongzi looked at the glass tree in the mist, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. "Recently, you came to my house, count your good luck, this glass tree is planted in this ice lotus pond, and what you absorb on weekdays is the aura of heaven and earth, especially the pastries made of the flowers of this tree, a piece of food, can increase life for more than ten years, and also has the effect of rejuvenation. Usually, these pastries, even if outsiders offer money, martial arts cheats and other valuable things are also rare this piece, today, I am in a good mood, ordered people to do a lot, the right is a holiday. ”

"Yes, then I have to eat a few more pieces and save more yang longevity, so that I can be young and immortal. Bai Yu Gongzi, who didn't like to eat pastries very much, hurriedly picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth, one bite at a time, and ate three or four in a row.

Wanyi looked at him and simply put down her chopsticks. "Eat, finish this plate, I wish you a long life and a long life!"

"Haha! I'm not interested in living a long life, I just think it tastes good. Bai Yu Gongzi was embarrassed to eat any more, so he picked up a black fish and tasted it carefully. "This is the black fish in the Moxu Valley, right? From the Moxu Valley outside the sky, this fish has an extremely strange personality, and only jumps out of the lake in the early morning rainy season. Like us who live in the desert, we have to look elsewhere for whatever we want to eat, which is pathetic. ”

"So what's the matter, although this place is located in the desert, there are many merchants coming and going, not to mention the black fish in Moxu Valley, even the shark in the East China Sea, I can also find it for you. Xiao Gongzi didn't think so, he had a lot of kung fu, wouldn't what he wanted be as easy as taking something in his pocket?

"Young Master Xiao, where does your family's water source come from?" Princess Lan Lun couldn't help but be curious as she looked at the leisurely water outside the pavilion.

"This, naturally, relies on the colorful gourd, these water springs in our Hongshi Village do not rely on the moon spring, but on the colorful gourd that my father asked for from the heavenly realm. ”

"Xiao Gongzi, such an important secret of Hongshi Village was revealed by you, so you are not afraid that someone with bad intentions will eavesdrop on it and rob your family's colorful gourd?"

"What are you afraid of, just these two girls' families, is it possible, can you steal my colorful gourd?"

"Then you say, what do we lack most in Blue City?"

"Water!"

"Then aren't you causing trouble for yourself for no reason if you are so pretentious?"

"I believe that you are open-mouthed, so I won't say anything, and continue to drink and enjoy the flowers. Xiao Gongzi was a little unhappy, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and inadvertently saw a few black shadows flashing in the distance, so he got up and chased after him.

"What's wrong?" followed by the White Feather Child.

"Someone overheard our conversation. ”

"Look, you foul mouth, sooner or later you're going to bring trouble to your family. ”

The two of them leaped out of the pavilion, but they couldn't find any trace of the man in black.

"Be careful of your colorful gourd, as the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed, if the villain listens, it will move his heart and make his plan. Bai Yu Gongzi shook his head, and had no intention of looking for the man in black again, so he returned to Min Yue Pavilion.

At this time, in the Min Yue Pavilion, Wan Yi was tactfully asking Bai Tang about the origin of Hongshi Village. Unfortunately, just said that the key point was that Bai Yu Gongzi came back, but Xiao Gongzi didn't know where to go.

"What about Xiao Gongzi?"

"He's still looking for the Man in Black. ”

"Is the colorful gourd that Xiao Gongzi said true ?" Yun Yi had some doubts, so he asked Bai Yu Gongzi for confirmation.

"Fake, what kind of colorful gourd is there, it's pure nonsense!" Bai Yu Gongzi intended to confuse the public, his eyes flickered, and he was unwilling to tell the truth.

"Really, where does the water in this lake come from, and where does the water at the entrance of Redstone Village grow with fire lotuses, where does all this water come from?

"This, if you want to know, just live here for a while, I don't think you need to ask others, just that Xiao Gongzi will definitely answer all questions. The white feather boy walked to the broken bridge outside the pavilion, looking melancholy and perfunctory.

"Hmph, if that's the case, it doesn't hurt for me and my young lady to stay here for half a month. ”

"You two girls, why are you asking about the secrets of Redstone Village?"

"I'm curious!"

"There are some things that it is better to know less. ”

"You don't have to worry about it. ”

"What does it matter to me?" Hakuyu Gongzi smiled disdainfully, and then walked along the broken bridge outside the Min Yue Pavilion to the bottom of a glass tree closest to the water.

This glazed tree was born in the water of a pond full of fire lotuses, and in the depths of the pond, a group of red brocade fish chased each other and swam around.

"The golden fish in this lake is so big!" Bai Yu Gongzi couldn't help but admire as he looked at the fish in the pool.

"Really?" Ziyi, who was leaning on the railing, was curious when he heard this, and walked over with the sugar.

"The fish in this lake are older than me, and some are more than 100 years old. Bai Tang pointed to the golden fish wandering in the red lotus and introduced it to Wanyi.

"More than 100 years old, isn't that a refinement?" Wan Yi's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Shhhh Bai Tang was afraid that Wanyi would be the fish in the pool, so he lowered his voice and said, "Some are one or two thousand years old." ”

"What? and a thousand or two thousand years old?"

"Be quiet, this is the secret of our Xiao Mansion. ”

"How many secrets do you still have in the Xiao Mansion?"

"Not much?"

"And what about the one or two thousand-year-old fish you were talking about, and where is it now?"

"I don't know. Bai Sugar's expression flickered, and he began to prevaricate: "Or maybe it's dead and has returned to the West." ”

"No, it's all become essence, how can it die?" Bai Yu Gongzi didn't believe it, he looked at the water in the pool and suddenly realized: "No wonder she is so young, it turns out that she is a fish essence." ”

"Did the white feather boy guess who?" Wan Yi asked.

"No!" White Feather Boy avoided answering, he grabbed the white branches of the glass tree in front of him and jumped up, and entered the glass forest.

The tree in this forest, the trunk is white and transparent, the branches and leaves are crystal like white jade, the white feather boy floats among them, and vaguely feels that this forest reveals a mystery, but it is difficult to describe.

The only thing he couldn't understand was the mist in the forest, as thin as a light veil, stretched out his hand, as if it was touchy, but also invisible.

Princess Lan Lun, who was sitting in the pavilion, got up and walked to the broken bridge, where Wanyi and White Sugar were throwing food into the pool.

The fishes seem to be hungry, and they crowd each other, jostling for the treats that fall from the sky.

"Bai Sugar, tell me, where did that thousand-year-old fish essence go?" Wanyi was soft and hard, intending to break the casserole and ask the end.

"This, I really don't know. ”

"If you want to stop talking, you must know something. ”

"Well, you still don't ask. ”

"Why?"

"It's better to know less about some things, so as not to provoke death. ”

"No, I'm a cat, and I can't die by nature. Wan Yi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Princess Lan Lun waving her hand, she signaled her not to continue to ask, Wan Yi was a little unwilling, but had to shut up.

Princess Lan Lun looked at the Jinyu in the pond and suddenly felt guilty, and she said to herself, "It's time to go back." ”

"What did the young lady say, do you want to go home?"

"Hmm!"

"Miss doesn't want to continue?" Wan Yi stopped talking, hinting at Princess Lan Lun.

"Curious for a moment, is it enough to know more and know less?" Princess Lan Lun rolled her eyebrows, looking at the glazed forest, Bai Yu Gongzi didn't know where to go at this time, and left a few of them here.

She is a little anxious now, the red goldfish in the lotus pond in the palace doesn't know what is going on now? She seems to faintly feel that the red goldfish is waiting for her anxiously, and she is good, but she is playing outside the palace and forget to return.

"Miss, Miss?" Bai Tang shook his hand in front of Princess Lan Lun's eyes, and asked sweetly, "What is Miss thinking?

"I was thinking we should go back. ”

"Miss just woke up today, and she hasn't played in Xiao Mansion yet, you don't know, we have a lot of fun places in Xiao Mansion, such as Purple Pavilion, Huayue Pavilion, Lanting Bridge, Spring Snow Tamei River, etc., you came once and left without seeing anything, wouldn't it be a pity!" Bai Tang listed the famous attractions in Xiao Mansion, trying to keep the two.

"Yes, Miss, let's play for two more days!" Yun Yi was unwilling, and the attractions in Bai Tang's mouth made her fascinated, since she came once, it was indeed a pity not to take a look. "Miss, play for another day, okay, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, let's go back?"

"You little girl!" Princess Lan Lun shook her head and said impatiently: "Is the outside world so fun, born wild." ”

"Did the young lady agree?"

"Well, stay one more day, don't you play tricks then?"

"Obey!" Wan Yi retreated, then pulled the white sugar and continued to stand on the broken bridge to watch the golden fish in the Red Lotus Lake. The fish, when they were full, found a place with aquatic plants or duckweed, and rested with their tails, while the fish that were not full of food scrambled for food in waves towards the place where the food was dropped.
