The farce will eventually end, and as King Chu Xiang retreats to the cabin to rest, the assassin has still not been found, and the original grand naval drill has no high-spirited prince, so naturally there is no need to continue the drill, so it ends hastily.

A group of spectators suddenly felt excited, sat upstairs to eat and chat, and continued to enjoy the boundless lake view.

Chen Mingye took Xiaohong to breakfast, looked at Xiaohong and said, "How about taking you to the lake to play later?"

Xiaohong smiled and clapped her hands gently: "Little junior brother also wants to play." ”

Chen Mingye stretched out his hand to wipe the soup stains from the corner of the little girl's mouth: "Glutton." ”

"Hmph," Xiaohong wrinkled her small nose, "It's not a smile, it should be said that Xiaohong is a master of food appreciation." ”

"Other masters appreciate a bite, but you, the master, are good, and I can't wait to eat all the dishes of others. Chen Ming urged the narrow road at night.

Xiaohong glared at him fiercely, but her delicate appearance was not lethal at all, but more like a younger sister was coquettish to her brother.

Chen Mingye smiled heartily and led her downstairs.

The smoke and waves on Yunmengze are vast, and after the towering ship disperses, it naturally shows some meaning of being open to the dust.

Chen Mingye hired a boat, negotiated the price, and the boatman drove the two of them leisurely to the lake.

Xiaohong sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the boundless lake in front of her, and seemed to be a little distracted.

Chen Mingye moved the small table on the boat, under the table beside her, looked at the little girl's expression, and asked, "What's wrong, I'm stunned?"

Xiaohong frowned, surprisingly not replying to his words.

Chen Mingye couldn't help but be surprised, expecting that she should have discovered something, so she silently glanced at the lake, but she didn't see anything abnormal.

The boatman slowly swings the boat, rippling on the calm lake, the silhouette of the mountains and rocks in the distant lake rises and falls, and the lake is illuminated by the sun in the early morning, and the breeze passes through, it is a sparkling dazzling scene.

The water of the lake is clear, sitting on the bow of the boat, you can reach out and take a lake clear into your hand, cool and sweet, and still refreshing in the late autumn season.

Chen Ming warmed a pot of tea at night, took the boiled stove, and reached out to pour a glass of water for Xiaohong, but he left an empty cup.

Xiao Hong seemed to come back to his senses with his movements, his big eyes were still a little confused and looked into the distance, and then he turned his head to look at Chen Mingye and said, "Little junior brother, do you think that the breath of heaven and earth here is a little strange?"

"The breath of heaven and earth?" Chen Mingye couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Xiaohong say such a profound word for the first time.

"That's right, it's actually the aura, the breath of heaven and earth refers to the large-scale aura in one heaven and earth, and even contains the luck of the holy spirit in it. Xiaohong nodded matter-of-factly.

Chen Mingye smiled: "As soon as the luck in the world is said, it is mysterious and mysterious, can you really sense it?"

Xiaohong rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him, reached out and picked up the cup on the table, and then glanced at him: "Little junior brother, why don't you drink yourself?"

"Me?" Chen Mingye smiled, but took out a wine bag, "Naturally, I want to drink." ”

"Hmph", Xiaohong poured a sip of tea indignantly, "I really don't understand, such a spicy thing, what's so delicious." ”

Chen Mingye said with a smile: "Children naturally don't understand. ”

"I'm not a child," Xiaohong crossed her hands on her hips and looked at him proudly, "Speaking of which, as a junior brother, you are younger than me!"

Chen Mingye was speechless, but the boatman who had been silently supporting the penny over there couldn't help but laugh.

"Childe, it's really interesting to have such a relationship between you and Ling Mei. ”

The embarrassment in Chen Mingye's eyes flashed: "This little girl is not used to being big or small, so she has to let her." ”

"Alas, there are not many people in the world who look at it like Childe. The boatman sighed, but the movements in his hands did not stop in the slightest, "Childe is willing to put down the shelf in front of me as an outsider so casually, thinking that he is a kind-hearted character, which is very rare." ”

Xiao Hongba blinked his eyes and looked at this old man who had been unknown seriously.

Chen Mingye smiled: "Old man, you are also tired, do you want to rest for a while? It's okay to come here to drink some tea or some wine." ”

"Childe is too polite," the boatman hurriedly waved his hand, "The old man naturally has to do his best to collect people's money, how can there be a reason to be lazy halfway." ”

Chen Mingye said with a smile: "The old man is too polite, but the kung fu of drinking tea can be regarded as lazy." ”

"Hahaha, Childe is really a kind-hearted character, even so, the old man is cheeky and begs for a cup of tea to drink. The boatman laughed, obviously listening to Chen Mingye's words, quite heartily.

Chen Mingye Shi Shiran poured a cup of tea, walked over and handed it to the boatman: "If the old man feels tired, it's okay to rest for a while, we just came while we were in a hurry to see the lake, and we were not in a hurry or in a hurry to go anywhere." ”

The boatman thanked him again and again.

Xiaohong leaned on the side of the boat, reached out to play in the water, and gently paddled across the lake with her little hands, bringing up a circle of ripples.

Chen Mingye raised his head and poured a sip of wine, smacked his lips, looked at the great lake in front of him and said: "To Ruochun and Jingming, the waves are not alarmed, the sky is bright up and down, and the sky is blue; ”

He glanced at Xiaohong proudly: "Little girl, how about my words?"

"At first glance, it's the back of the others. Little Red pursed her lips.

"Do you know?" Chen Mingye was a little surprised, although this little girl was smart, but as far as he knew, in Qingxuan's years, she had never been to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. If she hadn't taken her with her, with her temperament of only knowing how to find food, I am afraid that she would never have stepped on the threshold of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for the rest of her life.

"I don't know," Xiaohong's little hand swiped in the water, but her mouth was muttering, "The first sentence is what spring drinks or something, we are obviously autumn now, so when I think about it, I know that you have carried someone else's back." ”

"Hahaha," Chen Mingye raised his head and laughed, "You are clever, these poems are indeed not written by me, but by Fan Xiang of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

The little red head didn't reply: "I know." ”

Chen Mingye touched his nose and said, "Not to mention that I can remember, it's good to use it for my own use." ”

"It's going to brag. Xiaohong's voice was coquettish, and the words she said were brutal.

Chen Mingye thought about it and gave up this opportunity to continue dragging the article, but the beautiful scenery was in front of him, and there was only a yellow-haired girl and an old man around, and the article was really boring.

"Hey, there are a lot of people there!" Xiaohong was originally playing in the water, but at the moment, her eyes lit up and she looked ahead fixedly.

Chen Mingye raised his eyes and saw that the thick mist in front of him dissipated in the sun, and a magnificent and gorgeous fleet appeared in front of him in the distance. Although they were still some distance away, the noisy voices of the fleet and the melodious sound of the piano music were heard across the lake.

"Childe, I'll slow down, let's let them go first. The boatman who was holding the oars at the bow of the boat glanced at it from afar, his face changed slightly, and he turned his head to Chen Mingye and asked.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mingye asked with interest as he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The ships in front are young ladies and young masters from several big families in Jingzhou, let's avoid it. The boatman admonished.

Chen Mingye smiled softly: "Since that's the case, let's make less trouble, let's stop." ”

The boatman nodded, stopped the boat, and slowly stopped the boat in the water, only drifting slowly with the waves.

The fleet over there played a tune all the way, slowly moving along the lake, and the music could hear the sound of someone chanting poetry loudly.

Chen Mingye sat down and poured another glass of water for the boatman: "Old man, drink another cup of water." ”

"Thank you, Childe," the old man took it and drank it comfortably, and said with some interest, "Childe wants to come here for the first time, right?"

"Definitely. Chen Mingye nodded, "Does the old man have any advice?"

"Hahaha, Childe is too polite, how can I talk about any advice, but there are some things that still need to be explained to you in advance, so as not to have any misunderstandings when I get them. The boatman laughed.

"Say," Chen replied at night.

On the other side, Xiaohong, who had been concentrating on playing in the water, also turned her head back, as if she was quite interested in the boatman's imminent exit.

The boatman then spoke: "On our cloud dream, the water is vast, so the little old man can only row to the middle of the lake at most, and there will be a boundary as the mark, and when he arrives at the place, he needs to return, is the son willing?"

Chen Mingye smiled: "I just came while I was interested, so naturally I should return with all my excitement." ”

"Okay," the boatman nodded, "Childe is so reasonable, the little old man is relieved." ”

"That's how it should be. Chen Mingye said with a smile, "Old man, I don't know how long you have been ferrying passengers on this Yunmengze." ”

The boatman was stunned, as if he didn't expect Chen Mingye to suddenly ask this question, and then sighed and said, "It's been almost more than twenty years." ”

"It seems that you are a local?" Chen Mingye asked.

"Sort of, twenty years, it's already a local," the boatman smiled, but as he said this, his big thick and swarthy hand couldn't help but clench the penny in his hand.

"Grandpa, do you live here by yourself?" Xiaohong listened attentively and couldn't help but ask.

"It's true that I'm the only one who is old," the boatman sighed, "and my wife has gone before me, and now I'm lonely, and I have no one to rely on." ”

"What about your child?" Chen Mingye couldn't help but ask.

"Ah," the boatman looked up, looking at the boats that were drifting away, and only sighed, but did not answer.

Seeing this, Chen Mingye hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, it's abrupt." ”

"It's okay, let's talk about family life, it's been a long time since anyone wants to talk so much with an old man like me. The boatman smiled bitterly, squeezing a smile out of his weather-beaten rough face, "As soon as I saw Childe, I knew that Childe was a kind-hearted person." ”

"Is your heart kind?" Chen Mingye smiled and looked at the lake, "Maybe." ”

Xiaohong pouted: "Grandpa, let's talk about something happy." ”

"Hahaha," the boatman smiled, "the little girl doll is so cute, how about the old man tell you the story of this Yun Mengze?" It is said that many people have seen this with their own eyes, but no one knows if it is true. ”

"Okay, okay," Xiaohong clapped her hands happily, and a touch of happiness appeared on her little face, "Xiaohong likes to listen to stories the most." ”

"I heard that one of the earliest emperors of Southern Chu traveled to Yunmengze, and once spent a night on this lake, that night, the Emperor of Southern Chu saw a fairy in a dream, and the fairy claimed to be the fairy in this lake, so the Emperor of Southern Chu had a night with the goddess fairy in his dream," Speaking of which, Rao is boatman is an old man, and he still couldn't help but smack his lips with envy.

"Later, there were often some strange scenes on this cloud dream, what a flying crane, what a rainbow...... But I heard that the place was in the middle of the lake, and we ferrymen had secretly looked at it, but we didn't see anything. ”

When the boatman said this, he couldn't help but look at the two and said with a smile: "Childe, do you think there are really immortals in this world?"

"There may be," Chen Mingye smiled, "Immortals look at everything in the world from the sky, those who do good deeds can go to heaven in the future, and those who do bad things will go to hell." ”

"Really?" the boatman was stunned for a moment, and a hatred involuntarily flashed in his eyes as he looked at the painting boats that were slowly moving away, and then turned gloomy, "If there are really immortals, why are there so many unfair things in this world?"

Chen Mingye shook his head: "Because the immortals are very busy, things have to be dealt with one by one, there is an old saying that the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, the sky forgives whom, those who do bad things, after all, they can't escape." ”

The boatman smiled and drank the tea that had been held in his hand for a long time: "Thank you for the tea." ”

"The old man is polite. Chen Mingye shook his head.

"They're gone, so let's go too. The boatman swung up again, and set the boat on his way.

Chen Mingye looked at the boatman who had re-stationed the boatman, and smiled softly.

Xiaohong held her chin with her little hands, looked at Chen Mingye with big eyes, and said crisply after a while: "Little junior brother, are you very happy?"

Chen Mingye glanced at the little girl: "How can there be so many happy things in this world, people, you should always find some fun for yourself." ”

"Hee-hee, Xiaohong thinks so too, so Xiaohong is very happy every day. Little Red smiled and narrowed her crescent-like eyes.

"Xiaohong must be happy if she has food every day," Chen Mingye quipped.

Xiaohong was not angry, but said confidently: "You should be happy if you have delicious food, don't you feel happy?"

Chen Mingye opened his mouth and was about to speak, but saw Xiaohongxiao's brows frowning slightly, and there seemed to be a faint doubt in his big eyes.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mingye asked, this is the second time she has shown such a look since she took Xiaohong to the lake, could it be that there is really something strange in this lake?

"The aura of heaven and earth here seems to have suddenly decreased a little. Xiaohong looked at him suspiciously, "Little junior brother, do you feel it?"

Chen Mingye smiled bitterly, only then did he remember the disadvantage of not having a spiritual root, although he was taught by Qingwei to teach the Xuanting Sutra, he made up for the weakness of his own foundation, and forcibly forged a channel to interact with the spiritual energy. But as far as he is concerned, the lack of spiritual roots is still real, and the biggest problem that manifests itself is his weak perception of the aura in the outside world.

Xiaohong glanced at him, and suddenly stretched out her slender finger and pointed in one direction: "I feel it, there, it seems that someone is really stealing the breath of this heaven and earth."

"Stealing?" Chen Mingye frowned, it didn't sound like a good thing when he heard this.

"The luck of the world, all living beings have their own gains, and generally speaking, it is difficult to change," Xiaohong explained to him seriously, "but because there is spiritual energy gathering between heaven and earth, there will also be corresponding luck in the place where spiritual energy gathers." ”

Chen Mingye somewhat understood that the breath of heaven and earth actually refers to the luck of the terrain.

For example, Jinling in Eastern Wu, known as the land of the tiger and the dragon, has a strong imperial spirit, and the world is stable if it is occupied.

Another example is Haoming's Kyoto, which is rumored to be the intersection of two dragon veins, and it can dominate the world.

Then, this vast Yun Mengze, although he does not have the luck of the emperor's hegemony, he should have a great aura of heaven and earth.

"If someone specializes in cultivating the Fa, they can steal these floating breaths between heaven and earth. Xiao Hong said with a serious face, and at the same time, a look of anger appeared on his little face, "Although those heaven and earth breaths are ownerless, once they are stolen, they are very bad for the creatures in this heaven and earth. ”

Chen Mingye squinted his eyes, if Xiaohong was not wrong, it seemed that someone was really doing some stealing and touching dogs in Yunmengze.
