Chapter 15: The Purple Blossom

Xia Zhen and her little brother Qiu Zilu sat on the rosewood steps under the verandah, waiting for the epiphany to bloom.

The night breeze is light, the moonlight is hazy, and the familiar fragrance of Tangting Mountain is all around.

The amethyst-like delicate buds in front of him slowly raised their heads, slowly fading off their purple coats and opening their slender and full petals.

The petals are layered, like a fine carving, full of aura that is about to erupt.

Surrounded by petals, in an instant, the stamens stained with pollen are half-concealed and half-hidden, and they are shy like a girl who has just bloomed in love.

The air is filled with a refreshing aroma, which makes people feel like they are in a dream.

Xia Zhen put her hands on her cheeks, immersed in this wonderful color and fragrance.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the little junior brother beside her, who was also staring intently at Zi Epiphany, and his expression seemed to be several times more serious than when he was practicing immortal arts.

"The beauty under the moon really lives up to its reputation! It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful purple epiphany blooming! Senior Brother Zilu, thank you!"

"Senior Sister Zhen'er, don't speak yet!"

Qiu Zilu's clear and smiling eyes stared at the pot of Zitan, and he didn't want to leave for a moment.

Xia Zhen was feeling puzzled, and suddenly, more than a dozen blooming purple epiphanyes in front of her emitted a faint light at the same time, and they slowly flew away from the flower branches one by one and floated into the air......

"Wow! it's so beautiful!" Xia Hao couldn't help but exclaim, and slowly stood up, staring at the flowers that emitted a glowing purple light with wide eyes.

"Scatter!"

Under the order of the autumn purple deer, the beautiful and full flowers in the air were like miniature fireworks that exploded in an instant, and the petals fluttered and sprinkled, like fireflies flying in the sky.

It turned out that the little junior brother Zilu was concentrating like that just now, and he was condensing spiritual power.

A gentle breeze blows, and the rain-like petals are swept up by the wind, and the glittering light slowly dims, and finally disappears into the sultry night.

Xia Zhen was immersed in the dreamy beauty, and her mood could not be calmed for a long time.

The beautiful purple epiphany rain can only be seen for a moment, and it disappears without a trace in an instant.

The beauty in this world is really short-lived.

"Senior Sister Zhen'er, are you okay?" came the warm and jade-like voice of Qiu Zilu in her ears.

Xia Zhen came back to her senses.

"Zilu, when did you learn to manipulate flowers and plants with immortal arts?

Qiu Zilu was a little embarrassed, and lowered her eyes and smiled.

"Senior Sister Zhen'er, I just injected a little spiritual power into this purple epiphany, so that its beauty could bloom in an instant. However, this spiritual power also shortened its lifespan. It could have bloomed for two hours...... Hopefully, the epiphany god won't blame me. Senior sister, can you blame me?"

Xia Zhen smiled and shook her head.

She had heard of the legend of the epiphany god for a long time.

Originally a flower goddess, she bloomed every day, but she angered the Jade Emperor because she fell in love with the young man who watered and weeded her, and was demoted to Epiphany, which bloomed only for a moment in the silent night every year.

So, she bloomed the spirit and aura that had been gathered for a year at that moment, hoping that her beloved would be able to look back at her when she passed by.

Instead of being lonely in the four seasons and wasting the years, it is better to bloom for the beauty of the lover for a moment! This is probably the wish that the epiphany flower god wants to express.

It's just that this beauty always carries indelible desolation and sadness, and it also has the indifference and determination to die for a person, which is difficult to let go.

Xia Zhen's mind suddenly appeared the cold and handsome face of Senior Brother Wuchen, with blood on the corners of his mouth, but his gaze was extremely firm......

She turned her head to look at Qiu Zilu.

"Zilu, have you ever seen any kind of immortal magic that can make the water whirlpool?"

Qiu Zilu was leaning over to look at the Zitan plant, and when she heard Xia Zhen's question, she immediately raised her head and stared into her eyes: "Senior Sister Zhen'er, why are you asking about this? Did you encounter an inexplicable whirlpool during this downhill training? I'm afraid that there is a water demon to haunt you!" Have you been injured?"

Seeing Qiu Zilu's concerned eyes, Xia Hao hurriedly lowered her eyes and said, "I'm fine! Zilu doesn't have to worry." ”

Qiu Zilu was still not at ease, he gently supported Xia Zhen's shoulder with one hand, and carefully looked her up and down to confirm that there were indeed no obvious external injuries.

He gently grabbed her wrist again, and felt that the pulse was normal, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

That whirlpool was obviously caused by Senior Brother Wuchen's birth spirit stone, and it wasn't a water monster.

Xia Zhen understood that if she had any doubts about medicinal herbs, she could also try to ask Senior Brother Zilu to answer them. Ask him about immortal arts, I'm afraid this herb fan can't help.

Xia Hao hurriedly withdrew the hand that was held by Qiu Zilu.

"Maybe it's really a water demon at the bottom of the river! Zilu, thank you for inviting me to watch such a rare and gorgeous epiphany bloom! Go back to your room early to rest, and see you tomorrow!"

Xia Zhen hurriedly said goodbye to Qiu Zilu, turned around and returned to the house, and gently closed the door.

Qiu Zilu saw Xia Zhen leave, and her heart was happy, and she finally got her wish, so that Senior Sister Zhen'er could watch this purple tan bloom.

He picked up the epiphany and was about to leave, but saw Xia Wushuang coming from the other end of the corridor.

It turned out that she vaguely heard a whisper coming from the steps of the verandah, lifted the window screen and looked out, and by the moonlight, she saw Senior Sister Xia Zhen and a teenager under the verandah.

The figure of the young man, not like Senior Brother Wuchen, but like the familiar Qiu Zilu, ran out to see what was going on.

Qiu Zilu hurriedly covered the purple pot in his arms with his sleeve, and wanted to leave quickly, but was stopped by Xia Wushuang.

"Zilu, why don't you rest so late, what are you doing near our female disciple's house?"

"It's nothing, it's just that there is something to give to Senior Sister to see, let's leave now. ”

Xia Wushuang suddenly soared up and landed lightly in front of Qiu Zilu, blocking his way.

As soon as the red dress fell, she turned around, with a sly smile on her fair face, and she was more light and charming than usual in the moonlight.

Xia Wushuang stared at Qiu Zilu, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

She knew Qiu Zilu, and he blushed as soon as he lied, and couldn't help but dodge his eyes and look flustered.

Xia Wushuang couldn't help but say, pulling open the sleeves of his shirt that was covering his chest, and a pot of epiphanyes came into view. However, there is no trace of the budding flowers, and now only the emerald branches and leaves remain.

"Zilu, this red sandalwood is blooming, why don't you ask me to watch it together? I've been waiting for a long time!"

She couldn't hide the loss in her eyes.

The flowers and plants cultivated by Qiu Zilu in the medicine garden are very familiar to her.

Since before Xia Zhen went down the mountain to practice, Xia Wushuang was looking forward to the day when the flowers would bloom.

Xia Wushuang had begged Qiu Zilu to give her this pot of Zitan, so that she could move Zitan to the living room so that all the female disciples could watch the wonderful flower scenery that was rare in this world.

never thought about it, but Qiu Zilu couldn't help but refuse. This Zitan is rare and precious, and he must take care of it himself to rest assured.

Xia Wushuang was also worried that Senior Sister Xia Zhen had not returned from the mountain training, and she would not be able to watch the purple deer in full bloom, so she asked the autumn purple deer to find a way to delay the flowering period.

Qiu Zilu readily agreed to this request.

She is really worried, Qiu Zilu, this kid, actually personally sent Zitan in the middle of the night for Senior Sister Xia Zhen to watch, and only watched it with her!

Thinking of this, Xia Wushuang suddenly felt a little angry and a little sad, she didn't know what was wrong with her.

Isn't it just a one-time flower? It will bloom again next year, what's the big deal?

Those who become big things are not informal, she Xia Wushuang is in the same sect, and she is also an excellent disciple with strong immortal skills, and in the future, she will definitely take it as her responsibility to subdue demons and eliminate demons and support the righteous path, how can she care about such a small thing?

She comforted herself like this in her heart, but she couldn't help but have something crystal gushing out of her eyes.

"This pot of purple tans is in full bloom, and I originally planned to let Senior Sister Zhen'er watch it together. If you want to see, there are still white epiphyllum flowers in the medicine garden, whatever you want. ”

Qiu Zilu couldn't bear to look at Xia Wushuang's eyes, and hurried away with the epiphany, leaving her alone in the bright moonlight......

Xia Hao was lying on the bed, vaguely hearing the conversation between the two, and felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Although it is late at night, Shicai should indeed invite a group of senior sisters and sisters to watch the purple panning together.

It's my own negligence.

Since she is a descendant of Nuwa, she will try her best to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the common people in the world in the future, and she must not let her children's private feelings distract her. But now that he has just returned to the mountain, he has caused unhappiness to his younger brothers and sisters.

It seems that you have to pay attention everywhere in the future, and don't cause unnecessary trouble.

The purple tan is in full bloom, and I have the honor to watch this time in this life, it is enough!
