The shore of Taihu Lake.

Midsummer is about to pass, after the new rain, the air is exceptionally fresh, and it is the annual Tangram Festival, at night, many young people will come here to enjoy the moon by boat, or put down the lotus flower on the shore of Taihu Lake, and make a vow of mountain alliance and sea vows.

Li Jinghong walked in the crowd, she was dressed in cotton white, she looked very simple, but she still couldn't hide her worldly appearance, like a fairy in the sky, everywhere she went, she attracted everyone's attention.

There really is a fairy-like woman in the world!

There are good deeds, when passing by, whistling and showing a malicious smile, Li Jinghong didn't care, no matter who it was, they all smiled in return.

This gave some bold people courage, and a boy in a Confucian shirt couldn't help but step forward to talk, "Girl, alone?"

Li Jinghong shook his head, "I'm waiting for someone." ”

Brother Gongzi shook the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile, "I see that the girl is alone, not like a beautiful woman has an appointment, there is a clothing store not far from the lake, why don't you give the girl a few clothes, and by the way, help the girl pick out a few pairs of shoes that fit?"

"Thanks, no. ”

Brother Gongzi said again, "The next person is called the amorous swordsman Bai Yu, and the merry swordsman Qin Lou is as famous, if the girl is a person in the rivers and lakes, she should have heard of the name below." ”

Li Jinghong felt that this person was too abrupt, but he still maintained an excellent demeanor, and shook his head with a smile, "I am not from the rivers and lakes, and I have never heard of the name of the son." ”

Bai Yu was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile, "That's okay, meeting is fate, before the girl likes the future, it is better for me to be a flower messenger, and I will be free from the harassment of those with bad intentions." ”

Li Jinghong asked directly, "Isn't Bai Gongzi not ill-intentioned?"

Bai Yu smiled embarrassedly, "Although Zai Xia is known as an amorous swordsman, he has always been known for his dedication, and he thinks he is romantic but not obscene, how can he be compared with those ordinary people." ”

Li Jinghong sighed, and said, "In my eyes, Gongzi is no different from those ordinary people. ”

This sentence almost didn't hurt Bai Yu internally.

Bai Yu Ziyunfei, twenty-six years old this year, has been famous for a long time, was once named one of the four princes by Xiaosheng Jianghu, and was rated as the first of the four heroes of the wind and dust by the gossip weekly. Today I originally made an appointment with the daughter of the prefect of Huzhou to spend the Chinese Valentine's Day together, who expected that when the woman ran out, she was caught by her father, and the beauty missed the appointment, and she was bored to go shopping on the Taihu Lake, but when she saw Li Jinghong, she was suddenly shocked, and left the daughter of the prefect behind, and couldn't help but come forward to talk. Unexpectedly, this Li Jinghong seems to be peaceful, but he always gives people a demeanor of refusing to go thousands of miles, which makes this amorous swordsman unexpected, his usual tricks against women, he can't use them here, and he can't help but be discouraged, but he has a strong sense of victory and defeat, and the more frustrated he is, the more interested he is.

"I might be angry if someone else said that, but I felt honored to be from a girl. ”

Li Jinghong felt bored, turned his back, and looked at the surface of Taihu Lake.

Bai Yu came to the lakeside, slapped the sword with his fingers, and chanted, "The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark." As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win and there are countless people in the world. Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, endure the return of the Magpie Bridge. If the two feelings are long, how can they be there, morning and twilight. ”

Today's Qixi Festival, this "Queqiao Immortal", written again is the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, quite appropriate, Bai Yu in line with the principle of "knowledge is power, talent to win the heart", it was originally prepared for the prefect lady, but it was used here, seeing that Li Jinghong was unmoved, and said: "As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, it will win, and there are countless people in the world." If he hadn't seen the girl here, Bai would have thought that the Weaver Girl in the sky had descended to earth. ”

Li Jinghong said, "The Weaver Girl, although she is an immortal, has a mortal heart, and she is unbearable. I don't like it. ”

"Which fairy does the girl admire?"

"Chang'e. ”

Bai Yu said again, "The mica screen is deep in candle shadows, and the long river is gradually falling, and the stars are sinking." Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are in the heart of the night. If Fairy Chang'e was in Guanghan Palace at the moment, she would also envy the Cowherd and Weaver Girl. ”

Li Jinghong said, "Gongzi is not Chang'e, how do you know that Chang'e will be envious?"

"Borrowed!" Xiao Jinyan walked from the side, holding a string of sugar gourds in his hand, and came to Li Jinghong, "I remember that you liked it before, so I bought it for you." ”

Li Jinghong took it and said with a smile, "I haven't eaten for a long time, but for the sake of Brother Xiao, I can make an exception once." ”

Bai Yu saw this Cheng Yanjin who came out of nowhere, and said with a displeased face, "Brother Tai, there is a first come and a first come in everything, don't you see that I am talking to this girl?"

Xiao Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Li Jinghong, "Your friend?"

"I don't know!"

Xiao Jinyan sighed, and put a foot on Bai Yu's buttocks, Bai Yu was caught off guard, and fell into the river with a pop.

The movement was too loud, and the onlookers laughed loudly when they saw this.

The four dignified sons, he was kicked into the river without defense, what a shame, he performed light skills, jumped up, and came to Xiao Jinyan.

"You just got off the black feet?"

Xiao Jinyan touched his head, "It seems to be." ”

Bai Yu is also a famous swordsman in the rivers and lakes, martial arts have long entered the realm of knowledge, and there is a true qi to protect the body, if it is usual, he may be able to think that he can kick him into the river without making a sound, and his martial arts are naturally not weak, but at this moment, there is a beautiful woman on the side, and he has already been carried away by anger, and said angrily, "Do you know who this son is?"

Xiao Jinyan shook his head.

Li Jinghong said, "When he introduced it just now, it seemed to be the amorous swordsman Bai Yu. Brother Xiao, if you provoke such a powerful opponent, I'm afraid you're in trouble. After that, she also made a naughty look, like a little girl, not to mention Xiao Jinyan, even the people around him were also moved.

Xiao Jinyan said to himself, "Amorous swordsman, Bai Yu? This person seems to be a little familiar. ”

In Yangzhou that day, Xiao Jinyan heard Yu Wenshuang mention this name, but he didn't give any good comments, so he didn't take it to heart.

"The amorous swordsman Bai Yu, the merry swordsman Qin Lou, the Jinling Kuoshao Li Chengcheng, and the Longzhong Phoenix Chick Cui Feng, and called the four princes, you haven't heard of it, and I don't blame you. ”

"Jinling Kuoshao?" Xiao Jinyan laughed, "If Li Chengcheng knew that he had this nickname, he would probably find a tofu to kill him." ”

"Do you know Li Chengcheng?"

Xiao Jinyan spread his hands, "I'm not very familiar with it." ”

"Hmph, I don't know you either. Boy, if you are interested, kneel down and kowtow to apologize, maybe this son will not care about you in front of you as a beautiful friend. Otherwise...... Hum. ”

Xiao Jinyan deliberately asked, "Hmph, what do you mean?"

Bai Yu was stunned, "I haven't thought about it yet, anyway, it's not a good thing for you." ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "Oh, please deal with the hum on the top of your head before you hum, there is a bit of a bad hum on the top of your head." ”

Bai Yu wiped his head, slimy, and when he took it down, it was actually green algae, which was on his head when he fell into the water.

The crowd laughed.

Bai Yu was annoyed and angry, "Boy, you are looking for death." ”

When there was a loud sound, the long sword was unsheathed, and the dragon groaned, and was about to stab Xiao Jinyan, only to feel that the figure in front of him flashed, his buttocks hurt, and the whole person fell into the water again.

Before Bai Yu came up, Xiao Jinyan grabbed Li Jinghong's hand, pulled her to a sampan, and said to the boatman, "Hurry up and start the boat." ”

The boatman got a sound, rowed his oars, and swam towards the middle of Taihu Lake.

Bai Yu climbed ashore, embarrassed, looking at the two of them going away in a boat, his eyes showed a ruthless color, "This revenge is not revenge, if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you, he won't be surnamed Bai, hey, what about Lao Tzu's sword?"

"Big Brother Bai?"

In the crowd, a pretty girl walked over.

Bai Yu saw the other party, "Why are you here?"

"I carried my father on my back and secretly climbed out of the grape trellis, but you ......" Bai Yu and Li Jinghong's words before, the girl listened to it in her ears, showing a dissatisfied look.

"Oh. Bai Yu stretched out his voice, "It's just a former friend, if you have to pester me, I have no choice but to jump into the river to escape." Sister Lan, I only have you in my heart, this is stronger than Jin, you know me. ”

A man's mouth, a deceitful ghost.

Although the woman knew that he was lying, she couldn't help but have her eyes red, Bai Yu struck while the iron was hot, and said, "Xianyun is clever, and the flying stars spread hatred ......"

The girl said, "The silver man is secretly crossing...... , Brother Bai, I've heard it all once. ”

"She's her, you're you, that one just now is a preview, but I'm actually preparing it for you. Bai Yu's words instantly warmed the girl's cardamom heart, "You are the little fairy in my heart, I am waiting for you here today, just to take advantage of the day of the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to confess my heart to you!"

A boat docked, Bai Yu pulled the girl, came to the boat, and when the girl was unprepared, secretly said to the boatman, "Keep up with that boat!"

......

The boat gradually moved away from the hustle and bustle.

In the Taihu Lake, large and small boats are cruising on the surface of the lake, and whispers are heard on the boats

Bursts of ripples make the night more and more comfortable.

The moonlight fell on Li Jinghong's face, setting her off more and more elegantly. She stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the crowd with lights on the riverside, and said indifferently, "What is Changsheng?

Xiao Jinyan looked at Li Jinghong, but her thoughts drifted into the distance, Qixi Festival, she was thousands of miles away, was she also thinking about herself?

Hearing Li Jinghong's words, Xiao Jinyan said, "I don't know what immortality is, and I don't know what the Great Dao is, I just think that the most beautiful thing is that people live for a lifetime, plants and trees for an autumn, there are beloved, there are favorite wines, and brothers with similar interests." As for immortality or the Great Dao, I never thought about it, let alone pursued it. ”

Li Jinghong said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Xiao Jinyan said with a smile, "Of course I'm afraid of death, but if it's a boring practice and immortality, wouldn't it be better for me to be like a mortal, choose to grow old, die, and live a colorful life?"

Li Jinghong sighed, "But you're not a mortal." ”

"I'm not mortal, I'm just a layman. ”

"What about the world, the common people and the right path?"

Xiao Jinyan spread his hands, "I have lived for more than 20 years, and I haven't even lived to understand myself, so where can I think about the world and the common people?"

Li Jinghong said, "If it weren't for the fact that I have known Brother Xiao for a long time, you would have made me despise you a little bit." She smiled.

A slight smile is very captivating.

Even the young boatman at the stern of the boat, in his eyes, was shocked, and couldn't help but stop the oars in his hand, the boat was spinning in the lake, but the old boatman said, "What do you see, do the work in your hands well, even if you look at it, you can't solve the next meal!"

Li Jinghong heard it in his ears and said, "Is it so alive?"

Xiao Jinyan disagreed, retorting, "This is the joy of life." Some people are born rich, some people are born poor, but in this world, they are all born, old, sick and die the same, this is the law of nature, perhaps, this is the avenue in my heart. ”

This world is beautiful.

It's worth cherishing.

Xiao Jinyan said, "Over the years, I have traveled all over the world, met a lot of people, and been exposed to a lot of interesting things. ”

"I have a friend who opened a restaurant in Suzhou, and his biggest dream is to save enough 100,000 taels of silver to marry a good wife for his son. ”

"There is also a friend, in Hidden Yang City, who uses the knife in his hand to protect the people, so that they have something to do and something to eat. ”

"They are all ordinary people, and they don't understand the world outside the Three Realms, but they all have a firm goal in life, and this kind of life is worth it. ”

When Li Jinghong heard this, he sighed softly, "But the two of them are not ordinary people." ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "Zhao Lanjiang of Hidden Yang City may not be an ordinary person, but for you, you are not cultivators, you are all mortals. As for Boss Fan in Suzhou, I have never seen such a cheesy person. ”

Li Jinghong smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that the way of heaven is capricious." Maybe one day, this world will change greatly, and the world will not be the same as before, will you still be nostalgic like this?"

"You mean, the way of heaven came to earth?"

"The way of heaven has never left, how can it come to the world?" Li Jinghong said, "At that time, everything, all the rules and order will change. ”

"I don't know what you've been through in the past seven years, but I feel that you and I seem to be getting farther and farther apart. ”

Li Jinghong said, "You mean, the Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other?"

Xiao Jinyan is undeniable.

Li Jinghong pointed to a water surface and said, "It was here that I went crazy and met a water bandit, Brother Xiao, if I tell you, in Hangzhou, I have already moved my true feelings, but in Taihu Lake, I am facing a choice between life and death." If you don't practice the Dao, you will never see Brother Xiao, if you practice the Dao, you have to abandon the desire for love, and if it is you, how will you choose?"

Xiao Jinyan couldn't answer, and said honestly, "I don't know either." ”

"Today's tour together, I want Brother Xiao to understand the situation I was in back then. She took the sugar gourd in her hand, took one out, gently put it in her mouth, and said softly, "This sugar gourd, under the first taste, is extremely sweet, but when the sugar coating melts, it is extremely sour, love is like this." ”

"You are just escaping, if you don't taste all the ups and downs, what's the fun of living in this world, it's really like you, Xiu Xian asked, ignoring the mundane things in the mortal world, even if you live forever, what's the fun?"

Li Jinghong said, "That's just Brother Xiao's idea, in fact, I have already died once." ”
