Volume 1 The Wind Rises Out of the Cloud Chapter 22 Wild Song
The next day, when Chen Ke and Xiaoyao Immortal reunited, Jinguan City was already a lively scene.
It was as if all the people had run out into the streets. The streets are filled with the smell of flowers, and the shouts of the vendors are one after another. The juggling of those entertainers is even more dazzling. The crowd was so crowded and bustling that Chen Ke could only deliberately remove the disguise spell, which only then made some gap around himself.
Xiaoyao Xian was not in a hurry along the way, eating and drinking, and had the heart to send a few bamboo horses to those bold children who ran by themselves. Chen Ke was curious to observe and study this antique and lively scene, and from time to time asked a few strange questions for the two pandas to explain to themselves.
Loud, clattering sounds came from the side of the street, and a group of golden-armored guards riding very tall, bizarre horses with two fins on their backs swept by, causing passers-by to flee one after another.
"This is the Dragoon. The dragon horse cavalry, all of them, was a dowry brought by the lord of Changjun from Great Xia. Xiaoyao Xian picked up a child who had accidentally fallen and wiped his snot and tears, "They have been very busy recently, it seems that the county lord and the second son really can't wait." Dissatisfied with the arrogant behavior of the dragoons just now, Xiaoyao said a little unhappily.
"Where is your master?" Chen Ke was very curious why Xiaoyao Immortal didn't follow his master today. Seeing this female sword saint who was described as a genius and a peerless female sword saint by the great prince, Chen Ke inevitably felt regretful.
"Yesterday, the queen invited all the monks in the city who were above the god level to the palace and said that they would hold a Dharma meeting and participate in the enlightenment. Master, she also went because of the teacher's affection. It's so good, they didn't know about my cultivation, so they didn't invite me. I see, this festival that takes ten days is fake, and it is true to force those masters not to get involved in the fight between the two sons. ”
Xiaoyao Xian returned, and then he lowered his face slightly, looked at Chen Ke and said seriously: "Little Bear, I know you have a warm heart. But this is the family affair of the King of Shu, so we cultivators don't care so much. I also told you the other day before yesterday that the good or bad of things cannot be judged by one person's good or evil alone. Promise me, even if you do the great prince a favor, don't put your life into it, okay?"
Chen Ke was seriously admonished by Xiaoyaoxian, and his heart felt warm. Although he never thought of repaying his kindness with death, it could be seen that this Xiaoyao Immortal regarded him as a true friend. He nodded earnestly.
Xiaoyaoxian was very happy to see Chen Ke agree, and gave a whistle and motioned for Chen Ke to follow him.
"Let's go, go out of the south gate, and in the evening, the hibiscus flower will really look good. Xiaoyao Xian quickened his pace.
When I came to the outside of the city, it was already afternoon. Chen Ke found that although the south gate was farther away from Qingcheng Mountain than the west gate he went to yesterday, his vision was broader. Mount Qingcheng in the distance looks very tall in the afternoon sun. The mountains are lush and green, and it really seems as if a green castle has suddenly appeared on the ground.
Holding the cards given by the prince, Xiaoyao Xian and Chen Ke went all the way unimpeded, passed a few levels, and finally walked to the front of the crowd.
Rows of yarn tents are neatly placed in the open space in front, and there are tables and chairs inside, which are prepared for dignitaries at a glance.
In front of the gauze tent, there are many white oval objects more than one person long, all of which are placed on small wooden shelves. Lined up in a row, it stretched to the foot of Qingcheng Mountain in the distance.
"Those are cocoons. Xiaoyao Xian said.
Chen Ke handed the sign to a small official. So he led the two to one of the little gauze tents.
Sit down and look at the tent next to him, Chen Kele was happy. It turned out to be the little dragon girl I met yesterday. She was wearing a blue long palace dress at the moment, with several huge Huasheng on her head. Surrounded by a bunch of shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and mussel servants. But the little girl is not very honest, she looks left and right, and her posture is not upright. It's a little funny and cute. Xiaolongnu turned her head and also found Chen Ke next door.
"Hmph!" The little dragon girl waved her fist at Chen Ke and twisted her head.
"I'm really sorry, nobleman, can you two have a meeting with these two nobles?" a small official came over with a bitter face to make amends, "The stands are a little insufficient, and there are fewer people on your platform here." ”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Xiaoyao Xian knocked on the melon seeds and waved his hand generously. After thanking them, the little officer led the two men in.
The first to come was a woman, dressed in a loose flower dress with green flowers on a white background, carrying a wooden sword and a cyan jade ruler about four feet long. The waist is tied with a yellow ribbon, which makes him look tall and graceful. The woman's face is beautiful and vulgar, and her demeanor is leisurely. When looking forward to it, it has an elegant and elegant temperament. After coming in, she first smiled at Xiaoyao Xian and Chen Ke, as if she was thanking.
Then another person walked in, and it turned out to be Xiao Hong!
However, he didn't look very good, and his spirit was a little sluggish. Entering the yarn tent, he and Chen Ke made eye contact, and instantly recognized each other.
"Is it you!?" Xiao Hong was shocked and suspicious, and looked at Chen Ke and Xiaoyao Immortal with wide eyes.
"You're a girl!" Chen Ke saw Xiao Hong, and immediately wanted to get up and hammer this grandson to death.
"Hey. Xiaoyaoxian stopped Chen Ke with his hand, "After you have an account, you will watch the play today." Xiaoyao said with a smile.
The woman was also stunned by the reaction of these two people, and saw that Chen Ke was persuaded by Xiaoyao Immortal to sit down. Turning his head and staring at Xiao Hong with a somewhat reproachful gaze, he immediately sat down next to him. Xiao Hong sat slowly in the second row.
Chen Ke kept glancing at the beautiful woman and Xiao Hong out of the corner of his eye, speculating about the relationship between them. This girl knew that she was being watched by Chen Ke, so she didn't care, and occasionally smiled back.
The sound of gongs and drums came from behind, and I saw many teams of make-up walking from the back to the wooden frame group in front. They wore costumes and sang in a long Shu tune, as if they were performing one story after another.
This is the story of the founding monarch of Shu State, Silkworm Cong, who is said to have taken the lead in reaching an agreement with the silkworm demons and learned the art of weaving. Since then, this Shu land has been famous for brocade and has fed hundreds of people, so he was elected as the king of Shu. Xiaoyao Xian didn't understand Chen Ke too well, and explained to him.
Chen Ke really saw a person dressed in a costume, who looked like an aristocrat, singing and dancing with another group of people who were dressed in colorful flowers and had colorful silk "wings" on their bodies to play the role of monsters. It's like they're communicating. Then after performing for a while, they seemed to have reached a unified opinion, the silkworm demons began to jump and jubilant, and more actors poured out behind the "King of Shu" to join in. Countless onlookers on the side also applauded.
After the lively Shu opera, the actors withdrew. Many huge trellises were pushed out. Many women are standing on the flower stands, holding colorful fans and streamers, dancing.
At the top of each trellis there is a small platform, on which also stands a woman, some of whom are dancing in a passionate and unrestrained solo. Some are holding various musical instruments in their hands, and they are playing with their hearts. They jumped especially hard, as if they were competing with the other women on top of the trellis.
The flower stand near Chen Ke's side is particularly tall, and on the top platform, it is Liu Yiyanshuang. She painted charming heavy makeup, rebounded a topaz lute, her body was weak and boneless and danced to the music, and her body looked very sexy and charming.
Liu Yiyanshuang played more and more intensely, and his posture danced faster and faster. The sound of the pipa changed from the rushing rain to the sound of gold and iron. The woman on the side of the flower stand has been clearly compared. Only a few people remained in the distance, still fighting her.
Liu Yiyanshuang's body was sweating more and more. She frowned slightly, and even threw away the pick in her hand, pulled out the golden hairpin, plucked the strings directly with her hand, and then shook her head and danced. Her hair became more and more rapid as she danced, and her body was like a dragon and a snake.
The pipa was even more popped by her bursts of thunder, which was extremely intense. And she didn't care about the already bleeding fingers, and played even more wildly. With a cracking sound, the four strings broke in unison, but the aftersound did not disperse for a long time.
"Okay!" Chen Ke picked up Neidan, and he didn't know who he shouted with loudly, like thunder, and the sound shook the four fields. The audience on the side was intoxicated by Liu Yiyanshuang's dancing and music, and was shocked by this applause, as if they had just come back to their senses. Then there was the frantic cheers. The colorful silk was thrown out like rain, Liu Yi was drenched in sweat, waved frequently to the audience, and declared his victory with a smile.
The flower stand slowly retreated, it was getting late, and the sound of Chen Ke and Wanmin's applause just now reached the side of Qingcheng Mountain, echoing on the mountain.
On Qingcheng Mountain, the sunset faded, and countless subtle highlights appeared from the dense forest on the mountain.
There are more and more fluorescent bright spots, more and more. Chen Ke took a closer look and found that some of those bright spots were huge glowing insects of various colors, and some were the eyes of mountain ghosts who were slowly raising their heads from among the trees.
Mountain ghosts emerged from the mountain glades and tree canopies. Some leaned naked, some rode beasts, and they leaned out more and more.
"Ah~oh~~" I don't know which mountain ghost was the first to open his mouth, and all the mountain ghosts slowly began to chant unknown tunes. There were no lyrics in their songs, only hoarse voices. But it makes people feel inexplicably soothing and good.
Slowly, the mountain ghosts began to dance, and the dance was strange. Some of them look like they're dancing, and more of them look like they're performing hunting and frolicking.
Some fireflies also flew over, illuminating the rows of giant silkworms. At this moment, the cocoons are gently vibrating with the song of the mountain ghosts.
The singing and dancing of the mountain ghosts are also getting faster and faster, and a wild and wild charm runs through it. They sang as if they were calling out to their fellow beasts in the mountains and forests.
Those hibiscus flowers in Qingcheng Mountain began to bloom one after another, and the blooming flower clusters were like brilliant fireworks exploding on the green screen. In a short time, the entire lush green mountains were dyed with colorful flowers.
The cocoons under the mountain are also shaking more and more frequently.......
Eventually, the voices of the mountain ghosts turned into roars, like the roars of wild beasts when they mate, or the loud noise of a battle between all things. Chen Ke felt that his inner dan was also vibrating, and he actually heard it a little red-faced. He accidentally saw the woman sitting next to him, and thought she was sexy, and his eyes couldn't be taken back from her buttocks and breasts. And the woman was also flushed, ignoring her aggressive gaze, and even glanced at him.
"Crackle, crackle", in this wild song, those cocoons cracked one after another, and from inside crawled out of the wet and slime-filled banshees. And on the opposite mountain, a group of huge moth demons also flew over, they were thin and thin, and many of them still had scars on their bodies.
The singing slowed down, and it seemed to turn into a mother's whisper of comfort to the child, and encouragement in the ear of the lover, with a deep kindness and love.
The female moth demons' bodies were shivering with cold at first, and they seemed to be drawing strength from the song. The wings on his back slowly dried, and his body no longer trembled. Finally, the banshees also waved their huge and bright wings and flew into the sky.
The chorus of the mountain ghosts became melodious and tactful, like children who have successfully returned home, like a gentle and ethereal mountain breeze. The banshees joined the banshees in the air, and slowly flew towards the mountains with the song.
Chen Ke had never seen such a beautiful scene, looking at the moth demons that were gradually moving away, he couldn't forget it for a long time.
Finally, they were free. Liu Yiyanshuang didn't know when she had already taken off her costume and stood aside and sighed.
But when they returned to the mountains, they had to face the law of the jungle, and they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. The girl sitting next to Chen Ke also muttered to herself.
The woman got up and looked at Liu Yiyanshuang, who had finished saluting everyone.
"Long time no see, Liu Yiyanshuang girl. ”
"Yes, it's been a long, long time, Sister Xiao Lingwei. ”
The two girls actually knew each other.
