Chapter 0002: Lotus Pond Maiden
Seeing that the Condor was about to fly, in a hurry, Zhou Shaobai had to shout casually: "Don't misunderstand the Condor, I'm here to help you pull out the arrow!"
When the giant eagle heard this, it actually stopped moving, stared at him for a long time, slowly turned around, and exposed the arrow wound. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou Shaobai was secretly surprised, could it be that this giant eagle also understands human language? However, Xiyun Mountain has always had the aura of heaven and earth, and it is very possible to give birth to some spirit beasts and birds.
He clenched his fist at the giant eagle: "Thank you for your trust." ”
Zhou Shaobai slowly approached the giant eagle, and the closer he got to the front, the more he realized that the giant eagle was really abnormal, and he couldn't praise it, and carefully examined the wound. I saw that the broken half of the feather arrow was deeply inserted into the left abdomen of the giant eagle, and there were beak marks from the giant eagle bitten at the fracture place.
There was still new flesh around the wounds around the broken arrow, some of which had bloomed, and blood was flowing down it.
Zhou Shaobai suddenly understood in his heart, it turned out that this was an old injury, so he grew new flesh, but because the arrow remained in the body, when the giant eagle flapped its wings and wanted to go straight to nine days, it would tear the wound. The wound did not heal for a long time, so that the giant eagle of the divine steed had actually become weak, and even a mountain deer could not be brought back to the nest smoothly.
"Condor, I already know about your injuries, so I'm here to help you. Zhou Shaobai stroked the body of the giant eagle, the giant eagle was very quiet, and seemed to really understand his words, so Zhou Shaobai took out the gold sore medicine from the burden and put it aside, stretched out his hands and held the broken arrow tightly, pulled it out hard, and the arrow was finally pulled out, and the blood flowed.
Zhou Shaobai was overjoyed: "Condor, the arrow has been pulled out!"
He hurriedly picked up the gold sore medicine and applied it to the wound of the giant eagle, and pressed it tightly with a handkerchief, who knew that the giant eagle suddenly broke free, and whistled a few times, this time the whistle sound was no different, it fanned the giant wings, Zhou Shaobai was lifted aside by the strong air wave, fell to the ground, and then the giant eagle struggled to get up, circled around Zhou Shaobai three times in the air, and finally went away and disappeared into the clouds.
"Ah, my handkerchief is still stuck to its wound, it was embroidered to me by my mother......" Zhou Shaobai looked at the flowing clouds in the distance and muttered, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
Suddenly, he shook his head: "The Condor is gone, and I should be on my way." ”
So Zhou Shaobai continued to go down the mountain.
He was afraid that he would meet the brothers who patrolled the mountain when he took the main road, and he would find that he did not have a waist card to go down the mountain, so he only chose those winding and uninhabited paths to detour. These paths are usually inaccessible, they have long been overgrown with wild grass and vines, and it is extremely difficult to walk, and at this time after walking for about two hours, Zhou Shaobai was thirsty and tired, sweating profusely, and rubbing a lot of dust and cobwebs on his body, looking embarrassed and abnormal.
"It's really hot, I remember that there should be a stream in this area, why haven't you come for a long time, but you can't find it?" Zhou Shaobai muttered to himself, his throat was very thirsty, and the water bladder in his baggage had already been drunk.
Fortunately, he didn't look for long, he heard the sound of the gurgling stream, Zhou Shaobai was overjoyed, hurriedly ripped off the weeds in front of him, followed the sound of the stream, bypassed a mossy boulder, and finally came to the stream.
Zhou Shaobai picked up the cool and sweet mountain spring water with both hands, drank a few big handfuls, and washed his face and arms with water, and then took out the water bladder that had long been dripping and filled it full.
After drinking enough mountain spring water, Zhou Shaobai, who had been walking for a long time, was tired, so he walked to the shade of the tree by the spring, found a clean boulder and climbed up, pillowed his burden, closed his eyes, and wanted to take a nap. As soon as he closed his eyes, the fatigue of the nervous journey hit him, and he fell into a deep sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the moon was in the sky, the stars were shining, the insects were chirping, and the shadows of the trees around him were swaying, and it was already night.
"Ahh But when I think about it, it's a good experience to travel under this mercury-like moonlight.
Standing on the boulder, Zhou Shaobai looked at the stream and clouds that stretched for miles on the mountain in the distance. I saw that the Xiyunguan was brightly lit, surrounded by mist, like a fairyland, it was really beautiful, and from a distance, it was like a fairyland, and I couldn't tell which was the lights of the world and which was the stars in the sky. I don't know, is there anyone in the mountains who has found out that they have fled, and have they sent men to look for them?
"It's a pity that although the scenery is beautiful, there is no place for me. Zhou Shaobai shook his head, although he resented the senior brothers, but remembering that the master treated him well, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
"Forget it, there is no place to stay here, there is a place to keep it. The young man's mood brightened again, like the bright moon in the sky. He jumped off the boulder, intending to follow the stream down the hill so that he could reach the village below. Find a family in the village to spend the night, go to the official road tomorrow, and find a way to leave Lianzhou.
So Zhou Shaobai walked to the stream, fortunately, the moonlight was as bright as silver everywhere, and the young man had good eyesight, so he could see his feet clearly.
After walking like this for a while, suddenly there was an intermittent singing voice in front of me: "Jiangnan can pick lotus ~~~ lotus leaf He Tiantian ~~~."
Between the Lotus Leaves~~~The Lotus Leaves ~~~~"
Zhou Shaobai gasped, only feeling that his scalp was numb. How can anyone sing in this barren mountain and wilderness?
Could it be, yes...... Ghost?
He was frightened in his heart, and quickly shook his head to forcibly dispel his thoughts: No, no, this is the place where the famous and decent Xiyun Temple is located, and it is righteous and heroic, and it coincides with the ascension festival of the ancestor Xiyun Zhenren, even if there are any evil spirits, he definitely does not dare to come out to harm people today!
Zhou Shaobai pulled out the sword, held it tightly in his hand, and felt that his courage had also strengthened a little, he quietly stepped forward and said in his heart: Let's go and investigate first, if there is any ghost, I will kill it first, and it will be regarded as the sacrificial flag blessing of my Zhou Shaobai's sword world!
Carefully carrying the sword forward, I saw that the stream in front of me converged into a clear small pond, and the pond was covered with green lotus leaves, like a paper umbrella carved from jasper in a pond. The breeze is coming, and the lotus fragrance flows with the waves, which is really refreshing.
It's so beautiful! Zhou Shaobai couldn't help but admire in his heart, can there be evil in such a beautiful place?
The lotus leaves in the pond swayed gently with the breeze, and Zhou Shaobai looked closely, wanting to follow the song to see where the demon was, but between a few lotus leaves, he saw a soft white body like ivory.
Yes...... Is that?
Zhou Shaobai went to the mountain to cultivate at the age of eight, except for the occasional senior brother who took him to the bottom of the mountain to purchase goods (in fact, he just asked Zhou Shaobai to carry goods as a coolie), and almost never went down the mountain. Usually, except for the female laymen who went up the mountain to worship, he had never come into contact with any women, but this glimpse of the jasper lotus leaves immediately let him know that the one who was as white as jade under the moonlight must be a woman.
Now that it's closer to the pond, the singing voice is getting clearer, and it's really a clear female voice like a silver bell: "Fish Play Lotus Leaf West~~Fish Play Lotus Leaf South~~Fish Play Lotus Leaf North~~~"
He blushed, lowered his eyes, and his heart fluttered.
Between the ages of eight and sixteen, he had little contact with women. However, the senior brothers would secretly circulate some of the Spring Palace paintings that the senior brothers had brought back from the bazaar at the foot of the mountain, and he had occasionally caught a few glances, and then he walked away with a red face, completely ignoring the ridicule of the senior brothers.
The sword in his hand was trembling, and the moonlight shone on the sword, reflecting a silver light, shaking among the lotus leaves.
The girl among the lotus leaves noticed the silver light, and her singing stopped abruptly: "Eh, what kind of light is this?"
Zhou Shaobai was startled, and hurriedly hid behind the stones by the pool, carefully put away his sword, and his heart swayed with the lotus leaves.
The girl couldn't see the swaying silver light, and said curiously, "What was it just now, fireflies? But how can there be such a strange firefly......
She curiously brushed aside the lotus leaves and looked in the direction of Zhou Shaobai.
