Chapter 103: A Chance Encounter with the Flower Fairy (2)
Through the thin layers of clouds, the two of them finally landed on the protruding strange stone. Chu Qing was full of excitement, and when he looked at it, he saw that the strange stone was even flat, the size of an acre, and there was a tall Yunjin rhododendron near the edge of the cliff, and the tree was full of purple flowers, bright and moving, and there was a stone table and stone bench under the flower tree, and there was a stone cave near the inside of the strange stone, and the side of the cave was facing the cliff, avoiding the light wind of the clouds in the mountains. At this time, looking back at the Xiongfei Peak, it is already a lot shorter, the water in the clouds and mist is like a belt, the pine forest is dotted with houses, and the drifting fog is close to the house and the trees, just like a fairyland.
Rhododendron Immortal Yun Dongbai took back the ribbon, put down the flower basket on the stone table, and said with a smile: "This place is called Baizhang Qiongtai, and that is the Xiongfei Peak that we are still in, and that is Guiyun Peak, which is also the highest peak of Tiantai Mountain." ”
Chu Qing looked at the fingers of the rhododendron fairy Yun Dongbai, nodded incessantly, and then raised his eyes to look up, the original unattainable Guiyun Peak was also close at this time. Looking closely, in the misty clouds, behind Baizhang Peak, there is another lock bridge leading to Guiyun Peak, connecting the two peaks, and then he said: "Sister Xiaobai, there, how can there be a bridge?"
Rhododendron Immortal Yun Dongbai put down the things in his hand, raised his eyes, and said, "That's called Guiyun Regret Bridge, which was built by Guiyun Patriarch back then." ”
As soon as he heard this name, Chu Qing became interested, and then asked, "Guiyun Confession Bridge?"
Turning around, he saw that the azalea fairy Yun Dongbai had already walked into the cave behind him, and moved out a wine jar at the entrance of the cave, Chu Qing hurriedly walked over and stretched out his hand to help, and the two placed the wine jar next to the stone table.
Rhododendron Fairy Yun Dongbai took out a scoop of water from a large water tank outside the cave, put it on the stone table, beckoned Chu Qing to come over, and the two sat on the stone bench facing each other. Rhododendron Fairy Yun Dongbai carefully picked up a cloud brocade azalea from the flower basket, looked at the moonlight, and gently immersed it in the scoop of clear water, slowly washed it back and forth, and said: "This is the fresh dew tonight, use it to wash the hustle and bustle on this azalea, so as not to affect the purity of the wine." Her hands were so gentle, and her gaze was fixed entirely on the flower, as if she were doing something very sacred, delicate and careful, yet elegant.
Chu Qing looked at it seriously, her eyes were full of yearning, and after washing one of the azalea fairy Yundong Baihuan, she raised her head and smiled: "Qing'er, do you want to try it?"
Chu Qing's eyebrows moved, and she nodded happily in agreement. Rhododendron Immortal Yun Dongbai carefully took out another flower from the flower basket and handed it to Chu Qing. Chu Qing took it in her hand, looked at the small ripples in the water scoop, and actually felt a little nervous, raised her eyes and looked at the azalea fairy Yun Dongbai, seeing that she nodded to herself trustingly, Fang Waner smiled, put the azalea into the water, and dragged it once in the dew, but saw some fine purple particles floating on the surface of the water.
Rhododendron Fairy Yun Dongbai said softly on the side: "This raccoon flower is like practicing meditation, you must do nothing outside your heart so that you will not touch the stamens." ”
Hearing this, Chu Qingfang understood that those small particles were actually stamens, so he immediately stopped his hand, stuck out his tongue and said, "Then did I break it?" ”
Rhododendron Immortal Yundong Bai smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter, there are a few more flowers picked tonight." Besides, this seems like a simple job, but in fact I have been practicing it for hundreds of years. As he spoke, he got up, picked up the scoop, and sprinkled the dew under the Qiongtai. He turned around and took a scoop of dew, picked up a flower, and held it up in front of Chu Qing, but Chu Qing shook his head violently and said: "I can't do such a meticulous work, I'll watch you do it, your posture is so elegant, I'll just look at it." ”
Rhododendron Immortal Yun Dongbai smiled slightly, withdrew his arm, and began to grow Huanhua again, but Chu Qing said: "Fang Cai, you mentioned that the bridge behind the mountain was built by Ancestor Guiyun?"
Rhododendron Immortal Yun Dongbai, staring at the azalea in his hand, nodded his head and said: "Well, I heard Bai Yi talk about it, I heard that the Guiyun Patriarch was also trapped by love back then, and he was also ready to give up cultivation for the sake of that woman, and then it was the woman who encouraged him to be brave and diligent, and give up worldly troubles, so that there was the Guiyun Sword Sect that later became famous in the Three Realms." ”
Chu Qing looked back at the Guiyun Confession Bridge and said, "That, his lover is really great." can give up feelings and promote the enlightenment of Patriarch Guiyun. ”
The azalea fairy smiled faintly, but did not speak, but continued to meticulously wash the flowers, Chu Qing turned his head, and said, "Then, does his lover also live in this Baizhang Qiongtai?"
Rhododendron Fairy stopped, raised her eyes and glanced at Chu Qing, then turned her head slightly to look at the Guiyun Regret Bridge and said: "I live here, the Guiyun Patriarch said back then, as long as she wants the Patriarch to come back, she just needs to walk to the opposite side through the bridge." ”
Chu Qing said: "Then she must have never walked up." ”
The Rhododendron Fairy nodded.
Chu Qing said again: "Then, Sister Xiaobai, have you been to that bridge?"
Rhododendron Fairy turned his head, paused, then shook his head, and said: "For hundreds of years, I have been living in Qiongtai, not to mention Guiyun Regret Bridge, even if the other side of this Baizhang Peak is like, I still don't know." ”
Chu Qing looked around and said in surprise: "Ah, you can live in such a small place for hundreds of years." And he said, "Then have you ever thought about going to the other side?"
The cuckoo fairy thought for a moment, shook her head lightly, and said, "I didn't think about it, I just know that he is over there in white clothes." A satisfied smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, as if she had got everything she wanted.
Chu Qing's eyebrows lowered slightly, how could she understand the state of mind of the Rhododendron Flower Fairy with her current state of mind, but she muttered to herself: "It's good to know that he is over there, ......" As she spoke, she got up and looked up at the magnificent Guiyun Peak.
After a while, Chu Qing said again: "Then in addition to winemaking, what else do you do on ordinary days?"
The Rhododendron Fairy raised her eyes to look at Chu Qing and said with interest: "There are a lot, such as wine tasting, moon appreciation, tea brewing, and sword practice." ”
Chu Qing wanted to say that even so, it was very boring and boring, but when she saw the fresh and refined face of the Rhododendron Fairy, who did not eat the fireworks of the world, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, and the Rhododendron Fairy stopped when she saw that she wanted to speak, and said, "What, Qing'er has something to say?"
Chu Qing blinked and said, "No, no, I just heard you say that you can taste wine, and I was a little fascinated." ”
The cuckoo fairy didn't have any doubts, but pursed her lips and smiled: "What's so difficult about this, when I finish brewing this jar of wine, I will have a drink with you." ”
After washing a basket of flowers, the azalea fairy turned around and entered the cave again, this time Chu Qing also followed, a faint moonlight spilled in from the entrance of the cave, the cave is not deep, just a simple stone bed, and some personal utensils are placed on the side of the stone bed, and some wine jars are stacked at the entrance of the cave, the azalea fairy moved over an altar, opened the seal, and put the washed azaleas into it one by one, and then sealed it, moved the wine jar back, as if completing a great achievement, and said: "Okay, this jar of wine will be opened again at this time next year." ”
The azalea fairy raised her eyes and looked at the night sky, only to see that the moon was in the middle of the sky, and it was the peak of the moonlight, so she said to Chu Qing again: "Qing'er, why don't I invite you to have a drink of my self-brewed azalea bar." ”
Chu Qing readily agreed, and saw that the azalea fairy took a few steps inside, picked up a jar of wine, came to the outside of the cave, put it next to the stone bench, and turned back to get two jade cups, and put them on the stone table.
Open the seal of the altar, the fragrance is overflowing, the faint aroma of wine makes people feel refreshed, the corner of the azalea fairy smiled, looking at Chu Qing's expectant appearance, and took out a small charcoal stove, lit the charcoal fire, took out a purple gold pot, picked up the wine jar, poured a pot of wine, put it on the charcoal stove to warm it, after a while, the aroma gradually rose, floating all over Qiongtai, and then lifted the purple gold pot and poured it against the jade cup, the bright yellow color was in the cup, the bright moon was in the sky, the azalea fairy picked up the wine glass, and said: " This is a gift from heaven, in this month's white and refreshing autumn night, drink a cup, to live up to the season. After speaking, he touched the cup with Chu Qing, drank it all, and then tried the jade cup to Chu Qing, Chu Qing learned to be like her, raised her head and drank it all, the flower wine was really fragrant and refreshing, and it was a long aftertaste.
The azalea fairy drank another glass of wine and said: "Although this azalea wine is beautiful, it has a light fragrance, and you have to drink two cups to appreciate its true meaning." After speaking, he drank a glass with Chu Qing again, this time the wine entered his throat again, Chu Qing suddenly felt a warm stomach, a stream of heat rose, and came straight to his cheeks, and he raised his eyes to look at the azalea fairy again, and his face was also pink, drunk and infatuated, adding a bit of beauty.
The azalea fairy looked at Chu Qing, smiled lightly, got up slowly, flashed at the sleeves, a four-foot-long fairy sword flashed out, put on a starting posture, and a sword slowly stabbed out. are forbidden words can only be separated in this way) The movements are slow and beautiful, natural and chic swordsmanship, not so much swordsmanship, on the strange stones under this moon, more like a dance, gradually with the azalea fairy selflessly dancing the sword, or advancing or retreating, or flying up or falling, or flying or radical, Chu Qing gradually became fascinated, and gradually realized that the cuckoo fairy this set of swordsmanship is traceless and dustless, and has long been integrated with the surrounding nature, she does not move as if she is moving, but when she moves, she seems to be not moving, the sword is the mountain stone Yuehua, the mountain stone Yuehua is also the sword,
The sword intent was scattered and scattered, although the movement was very slow, but the surroundings were already everywhere and everywhere.
Chu Qing slowly stood up, looked at the beautiful woman dancing the sword, forgot about herself, after a pillar of incense, the azalea fairy Fang accepted the sword style, closed her eyes and stood in the wind, tasting the infinite sword intent, feeling the inextricable wisps of wind, she stood in the moonlight, as if she had forgotten Chu Qing's existence, she was naturally integrated with the surrounding creation. After a long time, the Rhododendron Immortal Fang slowly opened his eyes, looked at Chu Qing, walked slowly with a smile, showed the fairy sword in his hand to Chu Qing, and said: "The name of this sword is called Fan Xia, and it is a pair of Ling Xuan swords in white clothes, taken from 'the initial meal Xia and spit out the fog, and finally Ling Xuan and reflect'." As she spoke, she raised a pair of clear and bright eyes, looked at Guiyun Peak, and whispered, "I've been dancing swords here for hundreds of years. ”
Chu Qing was also quite infected, turned his head to look at the ethereal Guiyun Peak, and said, "But I don't know, in his heart, what is it?"
The azalea fairy whispered: "I am the cloud brocade azalea, when I was young, I held up a sweet smile on a sunny day, and a heavy breather on a rainy day, but hundreds of years have passed, and I will find that time is in the wine, the more heavy it is, the more fragrant it is, the more drunk and intoxicated, after looking at it, it is complete, I just need to know that he is there." There is no rain or sunshine at night, and there is no joy or sorrow. ”
Chu Qing was silent for a long time, looking at Guiyun Peak in a daze, as if she saw Guiyun Patriarch and the woman across the bridge a long time ago, as if she had tasted the centuries-old entanglement between Qiu Baiyi and Yun Dongbai, from the morning and evening to the plain and natural, and as if she had seen that after a long time, a woman stood on the top of the mountain, looking at it. She lowered her gaze, and for some reason, there was a faint sadness in her heart.
Chu Qing's expression was gloomy, and he lowered his gaze and said, "Then, is it true that as long as we demons are with people, we will be punished by heaven and thundered?"
The azalea fairy looked dazed, and said, "Heavenly punishment, if it is for a true relationship, hundreds of years can be paid, why are you afraid of heavenly punishment?"
When Chu Qing heard this, her eyes lit up, and she raised her eyes to look at the Rhododendron Fairy, only to hear her continue: "The righteous path of the famous sect is all under the banner of the righteous law of heaven and earth, and under the banner of the way of heaven, they regard our demons and demons as aliens, and kill them all, but what is the righteous law? Birth, old age, sickness and death are the natural righteous law, and those righteous sword immortals are not going against the sky, and they live hundreds of years, even thousands of years, longer than those mortals under the mountain. ”
Chu Qing glanced back at Guiyun Feng and said in a low voice: "Heaven and earth are correct, go against the sky?"
The cuckoo fairy said: "The reason why those demons are to be eliminated is that most of them do things that harm people everywhere and suck people's essence and blood for the sake of power and hegemony, which will inevitably lead to righteous hunting. What if it's a demon, as long as we are harmless to humans and animals, how many of us deliberately embarrass us? Haven't I also lived under the noses of Guiyunguan for hundreds of years?"
When Chu Qing heard his words, she seemed to have a sudden change in her heart, and her expression gradually improved.
Rhododendron Fairy said: "The most wonderful thing in this world is the true love, knowing that you can't be together, you can also wait for a thousand years without regrets, knowing that together, it will be wiped out in an instant, and you will have no hesitation and no complaints." ”
Chu Qing bit her lower lip lightly, raised her eyes to look at the unreachable Guiyun Peak, and muttered, "Wait silently, and the ashes will be gone." ”
Rhododendron Fairy suddenly called out to herself from behind, turned around and saw that she warmed a pot of rhododendron wine with a smile on her face, lifted the pot, poured two jade cups, and said: "Qing'er, at this time, the night is deep, and the mountains are cold, so let's drink another cup." ”
After that, the two of them picked up the jade cup in their hands, which was full of amber light, the moon passed in the middle of the sky, and the chill on the Baizhang Qiongtai suddenly rose, and they drank a cup of warm flower wine, and suddenly felt that their bodies were warm.
The corner of the azalea fairy smiled and said: "This drinking also has different seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, cloudy, sunny and rainy, each with its own flavor, and there will be a chance in the future, Qing'er will come to my Baizhang Peak again on a snowy day, watch the snowflakes flying in the sky, and then drink a cup of warm water, that is called the expression doubled." ”
Chu Qing lifted the purple gold pot, poured two cups and said, "Sister Xiaobai, thank you for teaching me so much, Qing'er borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and I salute you." ”
The azalea fairy raised her glass and smiled, and said, "Okay, let's be sisters and drink this cup together." ”
When Chu Qing returned to Xiongfei Peak, it was already nearly four watches, and with a slightly drunk spirit, he pushed open the door, looked left and right to see the little fat bear bag, and muttered: "Liar." ”
He was about to turn around and close the door, but another black shadow rushed in from outside the door, startled the wine out, woke up for the most part, and looked at it, but it was a little fat bear bag, playing with dew, hurriedly broke back, lying on the ground and gasping for breath. Chu Qing looked out, and no one was chasing it, so he closed the door with his backhand, and asked, "Why are you so flustered?
The little fat bear bag shook his head, his eyes dodged, Chu Qing thought for a moment, and said, "Are you coming back late, afraid that I will teach you a lesson?"
When the little fat bear bag heard this, he didn't dare to look at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing laughed and said, "This girl is in a good mood today, so I will spare you from dying, you don't have to be so afraid." ”
Hearing this, the corner of the little fat bear bag grinned, but he was still out of breath, obviously running wildly for a long time.
Chu Qing glanced at it, looked at the moon shadow on the window again, and suddenly became tired, and said, "I'm also sleepy, I'm going to sleep, you have to be honest, don't make a noise and disturb me, I want to sleep beautifully." After saying that, he no longer took care of the little fat bear bag, and fell asleep on the bed with his clothes closed.
