CHAPTER XXIII
Mo Yan put his waist in his arms and said, "Let's go." After speaking, she turned around and walked forward quickly, Ling Lu'er was still guilty, and followed closely behind and said: "General, I will make a new buckle and return it to you after I return to the palace, I really didn't mean to, don't be angry, okay." Mo Yan stopped, looked back at Ling Lu'er, and said, "I'm not angry, you don't have to take it to heart, I can take it care myself." ”
Ling Lu'er walked up to Mo Yan and said, "I really don't mean it, general, you can punish me, but don't blame me." Mo Yan curled the corners of his mouth and smiled and said, "I really don't blame you, let's go, Mo Lian only has it in the morning, and it will wither when it's late." As he spoke, he continued to stride forward. Ling Lu'er saw that Mo Yan was really not angry, so she regained her joy and jumped forward.
On a mountain road, Mo Yan took Ling Lu'er to a quiet valley, which was really leisurely and picturesque. It's a pleasant place. In the distance, there were two or three bamboo huts, and Mo Yan stopped and looked at them and walked towards them. Ling Lu'er accompanied her while looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountain peaks. The gravel path was not very difficult to walk, and it was not long before you came to the bamboo house. In the middle of a large green vegetable patch, a small courtyard is surrounded by a bamboo fence. As if returning to his own home, Mo Yan walked to the fence door, stretched out his hand, pushed open the bamboo door, and walked into the yard. Ling Lu'er stood outside the fence and looked at it and said, "This is the residence of the Emperor of the Absent Years? ”
Mo Yan glared back at Ling Lu'er and said, "Why are the thoughts in your head so different?" The Kuangnian Imperial Monarch is patrolling the border, even if you go back to Qinggu Peak, there is also Qingfeng Palace, how can you be here?" Ling Lu'er let out an "oh" and said, "Then why did you go in without permission, I thought you were familiar with the Kuangnian Imperial Monarch before you went in and out without permission." Mo Yan had already walked to the door of the bamboo house, stretched out his hand to push open the door and said, "This is the house of one of my old friends, and he has wandered around, so I can come and go at will." Then he pushed the door open and said, "Come near." Ling Lu'er walked slowly into the garden, where there were many colorful flowers and many butterflies and bees. Ling Luer is good at condensing flower dew, and is familiar with the temperament of butterfly bees, so she immediately played with butterfly bees. Mo Yan looked out and saw that Ling Lu'er ignored her and began to look at the room she was in.
Because the doors and windows are closed and the light is dim, it is faintly visible that the four walls are built of bamboo and wood, the room is not big, simple or log bamboo beds and chairs, etc., the room is clean and there is no dust, Mo Yan walked to the wooden table, gently opened the dark grid on the wooden table, the bamboo board inside is covered with a plain silk, Mo Yan knelt on the ground, slowly lifted the silk with both hands, revealing a stone plaque covered by silk, a purple gold and black stone plaque, placed on the table uprightly, and the stone plaque was engraved with three words: Yi Huaiqiao" Mo Yan took the stone tablet in his hand, his eyes were filled with smoke, and he said in a low voice: "Master, I'm back, Master, I and the Chilling Imperial Monarch have lived up to your entrustment, and the Frosting Imperial Monarch has saved the life of General Longting." Master, I have been back here three times, have you come back, where have you been, when are you going to come back to see me, or have you been... Thinking of this, Mo Yan suddenly shuddered, and didn't dare to say any more.
At this time, Ling Lu'er outside the house knocked on the door loudly and shouted, "General, general, come and see." Mo Yan's heart tightened and thought that something had happened, so she immediately got up and ran to the door to open the door to see, only to see Ling Lu'er smiling excitedly and pointing to the side and saying, "General, look, I can make butterflies dance." Mo Yan looked in the direction pointed by Ling Lu'er, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen butterflies flying in a circle around the city in the air. It's good-looking. Mo Yan was originally in a very heavy mood, and she became nervous when she was shouted by Ling Lu'er, but now she saw that it was a few butterflies flying, and she couldn't tell what it was like to be angry, and she didn't feel funny when she laughed. Ling Lu'er smiled: "I have a life-saving benefactor, who is a strange person in the world. When I was a child, I was taught to drive a pink butterfly to dance, and I didn't think that the butterflies here could dance. ”
Mo Yan's mind was still on the master's whereabouts, thinking that no matter what Ling Lu'er met was that strange person, it couldn't compare to her master's nature. was in a panic, so she didn't pay attention to what Ling Lu'er said, and stood there and watched for a while before saying, "I'm going to pick ink lotus, do you want to stay here to play or go with me?" Ling Lu'er immediately replied: "I'll go with you." Then he paused and asked, "General, why are there so many flowers and vegetables here when your old friend is not at home?" Mo Yan said: "The woodcutters in the mountains and fields in Qinggu Peak will come here to rest in their spare time. If you want to go with me, hurry up. Ling Lu'er pursed the corners of her mouth, swallowed the question she still wanted to ask, and nodded.
So Mo Yan returned to the room and closed the dark grid, the two of them left the bamboo hut and walked to the depths of the mountain peak, the mountain road was more rugged, there was a section of the road and there was not even a place to stay, and finally stumbled through a valley of thorns, and then saw a mountain spring lake, a wide mountain lake, sparkling and clear. The most eye-catching thing is that the rippling lake water is floating on the ink lotus, the white lotus petals are as white as snow from the bottom to the top of the petals, and the whole lake and mountains are as elegant and beautiful as an ink painting. Mo Yan looked at Ling Lu'er, who was staring beside her, and said, "No, that's Mo Lian." ”
Ling Lu'er looked at Mo Lian and nodded, and said, "I saw it, I didn't expect the flowers growing in the water to be so beautiful, much better than the petals you took back." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Mo Yan and said, "It's so beautiful, I can't bear to take them off." Mo Yan smiled and said: "The roots of each ink lotus are entangled in the mud in the water, if you pick many at a time, they will wither and die together, so every time I can only pick one or two ink lotus that has passed the flowering period and is about to wither." so as not to disturb the growth and opening of other ink lotuses. "Oh" Ling Lu'er suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder you only get a few petals back every time." As he spoke, he walked towards the lake, standing on the shore and watching the lotus float in the water.
Mo Yan used his occult volley to float in the air and walked to the middle of the lake, watched for a long time and selected five or six ink lotus flowers that were about to wither, gently picked them off and returned to the lakeside to stand, and said, "You take it, you should be able to condense a lot of dew when you return to Qianshan Palace." Saying that, he handed the petals in his hand to Ling Lu'er, Ling Lu'er hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief and gently caught the petals, a wisp of fragrance floated out, Ling Lu'er smiled: "This time, some of the little cranes have eaten." ”
Mo Yan looked around and said, "There is no one else here who knows about the relationship for the time being, and you don't want to tell others." Ling Lu'er nodded and said, "Well, I know, such a good-looking Mo Lian has let others know, and she hasn't come to clean it up." Mo Yan's original intention was not to have idlers to disturb Master's residence, Ling Lu'er thought that he was trying to protect Mo Lian. Mo Yan didn't explain anything, and said, "Let's go, we should go back, the Chilling Emperor is still waiting for us." ”
