Chapter 284: Immortal Goddess Lake

Hu Qiong got dressed and walked out. Liu Yan lowered her head and said, "I can't sleep, you can go out for a walk with me." ”

The two walked out of the hotel. The moonlight was hazy, like a dream, walking slowly side by side, and there was a big camphor tree in the distance. Hu Qiong came to Jiangxi and found that there were many camphor trees in this province. Walking to the camphor tree, three or four people couldn't hug this tree, knowing that it was a hundred-year-old tree, with dense branches and leaves, and the branches were hanging down to the ground. There is also an osmanthus tree next to the tree, the osmanthus flowers bloom like stars at night, and the fragrance is lingering.

Liu Yan said mischievously: "Let's go up to the tree to talk." ”

The two climbed up to the tree, and there was a thick branch, which leaned out, and they sat on it. Under the stars and moon, two young people sat side by side on the camphor tree, talking at night. The night wind blew slowly with the fragrance of flowers, and the stars in the sky could be seen from among the dense leaves, and it was like the amorous and bright eyes of a beautiful woman.

After talking for a while, Liu Yan asked in a low voice, "Master Hu, do you have someone in mind?"

"No, no, no ......"

Liu Yan lowered her head and asked after a while, "Then why are you blushing?"

"I—I didn't. ”

Liu Yan said: "You lied to me?"

Hu Qiong said nechistly: "Yes, there is one, but she didn't take me to heart." She has a good character and treats everyone so well. ”

"Who is it?"

Hu Qiong said: "She is a girl with clouds. ”

After being silent for a while, Liu Yan asked, "Is she your childhood sweetheart?"

"It's not. ”

Fu asked, "Is she beautiful?"

"She's beautiful!"

After a moment of silence, Liu Yan said, "Can you tell me about her?"

Hu Qiong said that Miss Duoyun had saved him three times. For the first time, when he was at his most difficult, depressed and desperate, she passed by, did not dislike him, gave him help, she was like a light in the dark night, giving a little hope to people who were tired and long-hauling, like a fire in a cold night, giving a little warmth to people who were hungry and cold, she was like a white cloud projected in his wave heart, making his life lively and colorful. Of course, he also talked about the second and third rescues.

Liu Yan was a little jealous and a little moved, and asked, "She's not with you?"

Hu Qiong said that Miss Duoyun was an apprentice of the Lunatic Cult, so he told the story of the Lunatic Sect's acceptance of abandoned babies, the tragic death of Xinye, Xiao Chaodong's negative feelings, and his agreement with Duoyun, Hu Qiong said: "After I find Xiao Chaodong, I will be able to meet Miss Duoyun." ”

At this time, the moon had set in the west, the silver man was silent, and the sleeves of the two were already covered with dewdrops. Liu Yan said: "Let's go back." ”

On the second day, the two returned to Fenyi City. Liu Yan left.

Due to the arrest of Wang Wumazi and the recovery of the county seal, Hu Qiong was emboldened and decided to see his uncle Zheng Wenjun. He found the master to discuss, and the master said that he had pleaded in front of Lord Zheng, and Lord Zheng had relented and agreed to meet. Hu Qiong was also very happy.

At night, beware of the secret agents of the imperial court, the master took Hu Qiong around the back of the county office, and sneaked in through the small door. Walking into the small garden, I zigzagged to the study, where my uncle was already waiting. The master left, and the uncle took Hu Qiong into the study, and the doors and windows were closed.

The uncle and nephew were opposite, and Hu Qiong told his uncle about the fact that the king of Xiao Chu framed him in prison, arrested him for greedy for the Hu family's property, framed him, and denialed the hexagram leader Bai Guanghua to kill the king and catch the fast, and told his uncle about it 1510. Hu Qiong begged her uncle to justify the Hu family's wrongs and restore her reputation.

Uncle Zheng Wenjun learned the details of the situation, and when he saw that the matter had come to this point, no matter how hard he was criticized, it would be useless, so he persuaded him a few words of gentle persuasion. Uncle said: "I have a small official position, and I can't do anything about such a big thing, I want to come to my Jingzhou to have a fellow countryman, but I can help." Do you know who it is?"

Hu Qiong said: "I don't know this. ”

"It's Zhang Haining, Master Zhang. I heard that he has been transferred back to the capital. ”

Hu Qiong also told in detail about the fact that he had saved Lord Zhang Haining in Wuxia Ningzhenguan and had drunk alcohol on the official ship, including the fact that Lord Zhang said that his nickname was Zhang Hailing.

Uncle said: "Master Zhang is grateful for your life-saving grace, so he treats you as a confidant who has nothing to say." After a change of words, he complained to Hu Qiong again: "You should have told the matter at that time and begged him for help." ”

Hu Qiong said: "Thanksgiving, I was afraid that something was wrong, so I didn't open my mouth." ”

Uncle said: "You are doing the right thing, I am not as good as you in this regard." You rest for a few days, and in a few days you will go to Beijing and go to find Master Zhang. It's not that I drove you away, I'm afraid that there will be a secret visit to me, and my uncle won't be able to protect you at that time. I'm writing a letter here, talking more about the friendship of fellow villagers, you bring it with you, and it is not good for Lord Zhang to refuse. ”

Uncle left Hu Qiong to live in the ya, Hu Qiong resigned, and quietly returned to the hotel.

On the evening of the second day, Hu Qiong invited the master to the tavern for a drink. Hu Qiong asked him to look through the county's household registration to find Xiao Chaodong. The master is full of promises. After drinking, the two separated.

On the third day, I got up in the morning. The shopkeeper walked into the room and said, "Someone is looking for it." Hu Qiong hurriedly walked out. It turned out that Liu Yan was here, she was already dressed as a girl, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, her cheeks were white and her lips were red, and her fresh clothes were like a peach blossom with dew in the morning, bright and dazzling, and she was looking at herself with a smile.

When Hu Qiong wanted her to separate, she seemed to be in a hurry, and she couldn't help it, but she didn't know how to comfort her, she didn't want her to come today, she was really overjoyed, and said happily: "You are here." ”

Liu Yan said: "**, are you okay today?"

"It's fine. ”

"Shall I take you to Fairy Lake?"

"Okay. Hu Qiong said happily.

After breakfast, the two rode out of the city, heading southeast. This time running, the horse was fast, the wind was whistling, Hu Qiong couldn't say a word to Liu Yan, so she could only follow Liu Yan and let the horse gallop.

At noon, eat in a market town.

Only then did Hu Qiong have the opportunity to ask: "The fairy lake must be fun, what kind of fairy came to visit the lake and leave a trail of victory?"

Liu Yan said: "Confidential. When I arrived at the Fairy Lake, I will tell you about it while playing. When Liu Yan spoke, the corners of her mouth turned up, and the pear vortex appeared slightly, which was particularly delicate.

After dinner, the two rode horses and continued to the southeast. The day is late, has come to the fairy lake, but see the lake water blue waves, swaying, reeds are mixed, the distant peak is inserted in the water, the green wall is a thousand searches, the fishing song answers each other, the landscape scenery, beautiful as a picture.

A small fishing boat was about to come to shore. Liu Yan said: "Captain, let's take your boat to the other side of the lake, okay?"

"It's getting late, I'm going home." ”

Liu Yan said: "We will give you some more money, and you can buy wine and drink." So saying, he took out a handful of money and handed it to the fisherman.

When the fisherman saw the money, he said happily, "I caught a fish, and I want to take it home." If you want to swim in the lake, I will give you the boat, and you can enjoy it as much as you want. ”

Liu Yan saw that he was interested, and became more and more happy, and took out a handful of money and stuffed it into the fisherman. The fisherman said, "Where do you need this money?"

The fisherman picked up all the fish in the cabin into the basket, left two large herrings, and said to Liu Yan: "You go to the other side to grill the fish to eat, it tastes fresh." ”

The fisherman departed with the basket. Hu Qiong and the two tied their horses to the old willow tree, walked up to the bow of the boat, sat on the boat, and rowed a small oar, and the boat slowly rowed towards the center of the lake.

The lake is shining, and a line of egrets flies through the shadows of the green mountains. The water of the lake is turquoise and clear, boats row by, the aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake swing in unison, and small silver-white fish shuttle back and forth among the verdant aquatic plants. The light of the lake is reflected on Liu Yan's fair and beautiful face, and her face is smiling and drunk, which makes the audience fascinated.

"Is it good-looking?" Liu Yan asked, not knowing if she was asking about people or scenery.

"It's good-looking!" Hu Qiong praised, I don't know if he likes people or praises.

The two of them understood in their hearts, or did they pretend to be confused, but they both seemed to be immersed in this charming scenery.

The sun had set on the high peaks of the mountains, glowing with a rainbow of colours, and cloning the two men on the boat in a splendid brocade robe. Liu Yan said that in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a cowherd, and one night, it was very hot, and he came to the lake to bathe. At that time, there was moonlight in the sky, and lotus flowers were blooming in the lake. When the cowherd came to the lake, he heard the laughter of a group of women among the lotus flowers, he hid in the green leaf lotus edge, and saw a few beautiful women bathing in the lake.

On the grass on the shore lay their clothes. When the cowherd saw that there was a red dress among the white clothes, which was particularly bright and dazzling, he picked up the clothes and hid them in the woods. And when the girls had washed themselves, they came ashore, clothed themselves, and ascended to heaven. There was only one girl, unclothed, wandering on the shore.

The cowherd saw it, walked out of the forest, and held the red clothes with both hands. The girl got dressed, and when she saw that the cowherd was handsome and sincere, she stayed and sat by the lake and talked. It turned out that they were fairies in the sky, and they envied the beautiful scenery on the lake, so they secretly went down to earth to bathe.

The two fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other, and the fairy no longer returned to heaven, but returned home with the cowherd, and became husband and wife, loving and loving, happy and sweet. In the end, their affairs were known by the heavenly court, and the heavenly soldiers and generals were sent to capture the fairy back to the heavenly court, and from then on, only the cowherd was left in this mortal world.

That Liu Yan was originally willful, lively and active, and when she told the fairy story, she looked calm, with tears in her eyes, and she was crystal clear.

Hu Qiong said in a firm tone: "This Heavenly Court is too hateful, if I was present at the time and risked my life, I would also have a fight with the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, and I would never let them break up this human couple." ”

This Liu Yan was grieving, and when she saw Hu Qiong say these words impassionedly, her heart was moved, a teardrop in her eye dripped, and she suddenly smiled on her face, and said, "When the time comes, I will fight side by side with you." ”

The boat leaned in front of the mountain. The two went ashore, walked along the winding path, walked through the green bamboo forest, and a Taoist temple appeared in it. When I got closer, I saw that the plaque read: "Fairy Temple" with three gilded characters, shining with golden light. The two walked in, and there was indeed a statue of the fairy goddess in the shrine, dressed in fairy clothes, fluttering, with beautiful faces, white faces and red lips, and looking at the two people below.

Liu Yan asked, "**, is the fairy as beautiful as your clouds?"

Hu Qiongzheng didn't know how to answer, but he heard footsteps coming outside the ancestral hall. The two were in love, and when someone disturbed them, the two had already stepped in.

It was the blessing messenger who followed Shang Changchun.
