Volume 2 The Phantom Flower of the World Chapter 27 The Boat Explores Lake City

The two men kept the boat on their way to the east, and the next afternoon, when the trees on both sides of the river were increasing, and the outline of a city was seen in the distance, and the houses in sight were gradually increasing, and sure enough, as Rong Lian had said, the river narrowed and divided into many tributaries that flowed into the city, and many pontoon bridges were built on the water.

"Zhu'an, Lake City has arrived!" Weaving Dream sat up from the boat and pointed to the city-state in front of her, but she seemed to think of something, and said a little embarrassed: "...... In the past, I rarely went out of the Phantom Flower Palace, and I only played in the small village at the foot of the mountain, and I didn't know much about Phantom Flower Lake City. ”

Hua Nai has never taken a step in the Phantom Flower Palace since she took away Weaving Dreams, presumably Weaving Dreams has always been in the Phantom Flower Palace, and the range of activities will not be too large, so he can't help but feel a little distressed, he smiled: "It's okay, I haven't been here either, just go and see it together." ”

"Okay, that ...... I heard that there are many special snacks in Phantom Lake City......" Weaving Dream glanced at Zhu'an quickly, and looked away again.

"Hungry?" Zhu'an reached out and touched Weaving Dream's head, seeing that her cheeks were a little red, and smiled, "Do you want to eat?"

Weaving Dream's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.

Zhu'an put the boat into the Phantom Lake City, after passing through the bridge hole of several stone arch bridges into the city, the river surface is very dense with winding waterways, in addition to the stone arch bridge, the river is mostly connected by pontoon bridges, and the waterway is left between the pontoon bridges, the boats pass through the river, and the people walk from the pontoon bridges.

All kinds of boats come and go, the houses are built near the river, and some of the small alleys between the houses have wooden bridges and ferries, and a few small boats are parked in twos and threes.

Many hawkers set up stalls on the waterfront outside their homes, and all kinds of goods were bought and sold by people who came closer to the boat and could stand on the boat to pick up. There are also some boatmen who come over, the boats are full of melons, fruits and vegetables, rowing boats along the river to sell, and the pedestrians and boats on the surface of the ground are bustling, very lively.

It is indeed an authentic water city, with a beautiful scenery.

The two of them carried the boat through the river, and Weaving Dream picked up some snacks and sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat with great joy to taste.

Zhu An looked at her with a gentle smile on his face, and suddenly remembered that this Phantom Flower Lake City seemed to be connected by bustling river pontoon bridges, and the rumored Phantom Flower Palace was a huge stone palace, if there was such a stone palace, it would be very conspicuous, but he didn't see any obvious huge buildings at a glance.

"Is the Phantom Flower Palace really in Phantom Lake City?"

Weaving Dream replied with a smile when he heard this: "Yes, yes, I've been here since I was a child, and I can't be wrong." Just ......"

"Just?"

Weaving Dream scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's just that I also need to look for it, the Phantom Flower Palace is built on a mountain, as for how to get there......"

The meaning was obvious, and she didn't know it herself.

Chase An raised his eyebrows with a smile.

Weaving Dream took a bite of the snack in his hand, and quickly explained: "Hey, brother, why do you look at me like this! I can't blame me, my range of activities on weekdays is only near the Phantom Flower Palace, and I have never gone down the mountain!"

“......”

She was brought back to the Phantom Flower Palace by Hua Nai since she was a child, which is equivalent to a kind of house arrest, especially after she knows her background, this feeling is even worse, and the blow to her can be imagined.

Zhu'an looked at Weaving Dreams, she still looked as usual, it seemed that she was talking about other people's affairs, and it had nothing to do with her, he didn't know if he praised her for being open-minded or should feel sorry for her.

But she cared, and her fingertips unconsciously touched the silver chain ring on her right hand.

He didn't understand, he could have cried and complained to him, but she had never, no matter how big and wronged she was, she still said it so casually, as if she was talking about someone else's business. But this kind of subconscious avoidance is how much uncertainty and anxiety it has experienced, and how sad it should be.

Zhu'an turned his head away and replied sullenly.

Seeing that he wasn't very happy, Weaving Dream cautiously leaned over and grabbed his sleeve, "Brother, don't worry, the Phantom Flower Palace can definitely be found!"

“......”

Silly girl, where is he worried that he won't be able to find the Phantom Flower Palace.

Seeing that she was still here to comfort herself, Zhu'an quickly gathered her thoughts, and said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, we'll look for it when you've had enough, and it's okay if you can't find it." ”

Weaving Dream nodded with a smile and handed over a little snack in his arms, "You can taste it too, it tastes good!"

Zhu'an tasted it cooperatively, "Well, it's okay." The taste is rare elsewhere. ”

Weaving Dream nodded, "Do you think so too?" Hey, you see, there seems to be a meeting over there, there are a lot of people!"

It was almost dusk, and the boat passed by the riverbank, and the buildings on the bank did not look big, but the whole street outside the door was full of small stalls, brightly lit, and everyone was happy, and it was very noisy.

"Then go check it out. ”

Zhu'an propped up the boat to the shore and moored it, got off the boat first, and then went to help weave dreams.

The two walked into the long street, and as far as the eye could see, the long street was full of lights, the flow of people was like weaving, all kinds of snacks and gadgets were dazzling, and there were lantern riddles, water lanterns, and troupe performances, and the whole street was hot

It's noisy, it's very festive and grand.

"Is this a local festival?"

Weaving Dream pondered for a while, and found that this question stopped her again.

She must be a fake Phantom Lake City person.

"About ...... It's about a celebration or something...... Let's go to the center of the street and find out!"

Juan laughed and nodded, ready to walk into the deepest part of the crowd.

Suddenly his hand was caught, and he looked back, and Dream Weaver grabbed his hand.

Weaving Dream blinked and smiled: "There are too many people, if you are scattered, I won't be able to find you." ”

"That'...... Then you hold on to it. ”

Zhu'an turned his head, and the tips of his ears faintly turned red.

The hand he held was very soft, and the joints were well-proportioned, and it was a little cool.

There was a little more panic in his heart.

But someone didn't know it, so he leaned over to his ear with a curious face and asked, "Brother, why is your face red?

Zhu An was at a loss, but his face became redder and redder.

Weaving Dream stared at him for a while, reacted slowly, and was a little shy in his heart, but asked seriously: "Hey, is it the first time for my brother to hold the girl's hand?"

Ann glanced at her and stopped.

The answer is obvious, for the first time in his life, last time he was worried that the Shuhua River was slippery and difficult to walk, he just pulled her through the snow whip, and he had never had such an intimate act before, so how could he hold someone else's hand.

Weaving dreams secretly happy, it turns out that this is the first time Zhu'an has held someone else's hand, no wonder he is so shy, so happy!

Zhu'an didn't look at it, but he knew that she was laughing, and his thin face was a little annoyed, "Did you lead another man?"

Weaving Dream shook his head and said sincerely: "Naturally, there is none. ”

After speaking, she laughed again, her eyes shining, "But because it's your brother who is leading, I am naturally happy in my heart." ”

That look, very serious.

Zhu An was stunned when she heard this, her face was even more red, even the tips of her ears were red, she was still embarrassed to look at her face, her head was tilted to the side, but her hand gently touched her hair.

"Me too. ”

Because the person holding me is you, I feel very happy.

Weaving Dreams' face turned red all of a sudden, and she became shy.

At this time, the two of them stopped talking, and walked forward quietly, their eyes falling to the side embarrassedly, but their hands were clenched tightly.

Soon the flow of people walked to the outside of the house, and it turned out to be a magnificent temple, and there were many vendors selling incense sticks and candles at the entrance of the temple, enthusiastically soliciting customers.

A peddler looked at them and greeted them warmly: "Two distinguished guests, are you here to visit the temple fair? Do you want to buy some incense sticks and candles from me? Make a wish to keep the good luck!"

As soon as they heard this, they stopped and asked, "May I ask which immortal is in this temple?"

"Hey, are you from a foreign country?"

Zhu'an nodded, and the vendor smiled enthusiastically and said, "There are a lot of outsiders who come to worship! The temple is dedicated to the water god of Phantom Lake City, which is very effective!"

"The god of water, the incense is so vigorous?"

Weaving Dream also asked curiously: "Is there any allusion?"

The peddler smiled and slapped his thigh: "Oh, this girl is right, there is indeed an allusion! According to legend, there were not so many rivers in Phantom Lake City, but a dry land, where there was a shortage of water, crops could not be grown, and the people were not able to make a living!" One day an immortal passed by here, and saw that the people were living very hard, so he had compassion, so he drove the clouds and fog to the east of the mountain to prepare to cast a spell, in order not to frighten the stars hanging on the top of the mountain, he waved his big sleeves to put the stars on the side of the mountain into his sleeves, and then used a huge axe to chisel through the mountain, the belly of the mountain actually gurgled out of the water, instantly watered the field, flooded the earth, formed twenty-four rivers, it turned out! The mountain is a spirit that swallows the river, so the Phantom Lake City is so dry and short of water, and then the immortals are afraid that the mountain monsters will run out again and build a stone city on the mountain, live in it, and suppress the mountain monsters with the immortal body, before living in it, he released the stars, and these stars are very grateful to him, and they all ran into the stone city to be with him...... So, in order to commemorate him, the people in the city raised money to build this temple to worship him, and also called him the Narcissus, but we all called him the water god of Lake City for the sake of remembering!"

Weaving Dream listened with relish, "It turns out that there is such an allusion in Phantom Flower Lake City!"

It's like she's not from this city, and she doesn't know anything.

The peddler struck while the iron was hot and said, "This is the great immortal who guards the side, and he is very effective!" Seeking wealth and wealth, seeking fame and fame, and seeking peace and peace!" He glanced at the two of them, and said very cleverly: "Asking for a son is also very effective!"

Weaving Dream was very surprised, "The water god still cares about this?"

"Tube, tube! No matter what, of course it's in charge!"

Seeing that the peddler was going to boast about how effective it was to ask for a son, he hurried

I bought some incense and candles, and went into the temple with Weaving Dreams.

This temple is not big, but the incense is vigorous, the middle of the main hall is offered a statue of a kind eyebrow and kind eye, the water god holds a big axe in his hand, stepping on a mountain under his feet, the water is bubbling out of the mountainside, the base is ten thousand acres of fertile land, presumably it is molded according to the legend, and there is a group of compassion and compassion between the eyebrows and eyes.

The two of them walked around the temple with the worshippers, and there were many incense candles burning in the huge incense stick at the door.

Out of the temple, the two walked slowly.

"Zhu'an, have you found something?" Weaving seemed to think of something when he heard the peddler's words.

Zhu'an nodded, "How do you feel when you hear that legend just now?"

"Well, I can't say it, it's that Stone Town that reminds me of the Phantom Flower Stone Palace. ”

Zhu An echoed: "That's what I mean, the mountain in the east mentioned in the legend, as well as the Stone City, may be alluding to the location of the Phantom Flower Palace." ”

Weaving Dream said: "Hey, then we can go to the mountain to the east to find it!"

"However, what makes me wonder is that if the place mentioned in this legend is really the Phantom Flower Palace, then why is there such a legend about the Phantom Flower Palace in Phantom Flower Lake City?"

Weaving Dream tilted his head to look at him, "You mean, someone made up such a story for the Phantom Flower Palace?"

"Maybe it's to hide some secret, or maybe it's a code word!"

"Phantom Flower Treasure!"

The two of them spoke at the same time, and thought of going together.

However, Weaving Dream pouted and complained dissatisfiedly: "So there is a treasure in the Phantom Flower Palace where I grew up?"

Zhu'an was amused, and said warmly: "It's just speculation." ”

Weaving Dream touched his chin and said: "Compared to this, I think what's even more strange is that some time ago there was a lot of excitement about the treasure, most of the families and sects in the world are ready to move, although the whereabouts of the Phantom Flower Palace have always been unknown, but if according to the rumors, the location of the Phantom Flower Palace has been explored, then there should be a lot of people in the Phantom Flower Lake City, but we seem to be ...... It's too calm. ”

"Well, we didn't leave until we heard the rumors, and there was a lot of delay on the way, so it's really strange to know where the Phantom Flower Palace is. ”

"Could it be that they found out that it was false news? ”

Zhu'an nodded, "I can't rule out this possibility." ”

"Forget it, who cares about them. Let's go find the mountain tomorrow. ”

The two talked and walked side by side, passed a stone arch bridge, many people gathered on the bank under the bridge to put water lanterns, the river was very wide, all kinds of water lanterns and candles swayed and floated on the water surface, three thousand bright lights, gathered into a galaxy, water and sky are connected, when it is a grand scene in the world.

"Brother, let's put a river lantern too!"

She has never visited a temple fair, nor has she let go of the river lanterns, except that when she was a child, she would climb the wall and go out to play with the children in the small village under the Phantom Flower Palace, and then she didn't go when she was older, and she almost didn't have any entertainment activities except for practicing day after day.

Zhu'an nodded, pointing to the various water lanterns placed on the stall on the side, "Which one do you want?"

Weaving Dream looked, and at a glance, she saw a pair of very delicate lotus lanterns tied in a bunch of all kinds of exquisite water lanterns, and she liked it very much at a glance.

She held out her hand and pointed, "That's it." ”

Zhu'an paid the money, holding the pair of lotus lanterns in both hands, and the vendor enthusiastically handed over a brush and greeted with a smile: "The two nobles wrote a prayer on the Krathong, and let the Krathong out in the river, so as to ensure that your wishes come true!"

Weaving Dream held the pen and didn't know what to write.

"Brother, what do you say we wrote?"

"What do you want to write?"

"Let me think about ......"

After thinking for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she picked up a pen and wrote down two words: Zhu'an.

Weaving Dream said with a smile: "What I have pursued in my life is nothing but peace and security. ”

These words are exactly the same as what his master said about his master.

Zhu'an touched her hair, and she handed the pen to Zhu'an, "Brother will write it for you." ”

Zhu'an took it, did not hesitate, and wrote two words: weaving dreams.

Weaving Dream laughed as he held the lantern that was written by Zhu'an, "What is the explanation for this?"

Zhu'an also smiled, but he didn't answer without answering, and his eyes reflected the three thousand lights, shining brightly.

Weaving Dream was very curious, and chased and asked for a long time, but Zhu'an just refused to say.

Seeing that she was entangled, Zhu'an smiled and quickly opened the topic, and Weaving Dream put this matter aside a little.

The Krathong went away, with people's good wishes, looking at it from a distance, the water and the sky were connected, and those Krathong seemed to float into the Milky Way.

Three thousand bright lanterns, when it is a grand scene in the world, magnificent like a dream.

And meeting you is also the most beautiful dream I have ever woven in my life.
