Shuang Hua You Nuo

When Xiao Xingchen woke up again, the morning light had already entered through the window, and his bandaged eyes could feel the bright sunlight.

Stretching out his hand to touch it, the quilt by his side was already completely cold, Zichen might have woken up a long time ago.

A-Qing's laughter came faintly from downstairs.Opening the window and listening carefully, it seems that Qingyi bought her new clothes and jewelry after returning from the market in the morning.

"woke up?"

After Song Lan finished dancing a set of sword moves, she looked up and saw Xiao Xingchen standing in front of the window.

Xiao Xingchen nodded with a smile, turned and went downstairs, the three of them had already prepared breakfast and sat at the table.

Song Lan reached out and put porridge in front of Xiao Xingchen, and talked about the rumors he had heard.

"Today, a fisherman said that there is a piece of water that has frequent accidents recently. Shall we go and have a look?"

Xiao Xingchen smiled, "Zichen must have made up his mind when he asked me this way."

Song Lan responded softly, "It's most likely a water monster."

After eating, the four of them boarded the rented boat, and Song Lan steered the boat with spiritual power.

The boat moved forward at a moderate pace, leaving many cargo and fishing boats behind.

At this time, the sun is just rising, the waves on the lake are slightly steaming, and the water birds are circling and flying, singing in the sky, and it is a leisurely scene.

The boat was leisurely, and after a while, it caught up with a cargo ship, which was full of yellow oranges.

"Sister Qingyi, look! Tangerines!"

Qingyi was shaken by her arms, nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, okay, I'm going to faint if you shake again."

A-Qing quickly stopped and made a face at Qingyi.She has always been smart, she has been with Qingyi for a long time and has already understood her temperament, and she is very comfortable in acting coquettishly.

It happened that the hostess of the cargo ship was wondering why there was no one on the boat to support the pole, so the beautiful woman on the boat asked herself.

"Sister, how do you sell your oranges?"

The woman was taken aback, and looked at the girl in red with a smile on her face, "It's rare to see such a beautiful sister, how about giving you a few for nothing?"

A-Qing's eyebrows were curved and her mouth was sweet, "Thank you, sister."

Sure enough, a few plump oranges were thrown from the opposite side.A-Qing reached out to catch it, and blinked curiously, "Sister, where is your home? My sister's oranges are so sweet, we will often come to buy your oranges in the future,"

"Do you want to try it?"

Xiao Xingchen shook his head, "You..."

Qingyi peeled the oranges, it was really sweet, she couldn't help being in a good mood, and said with a smile: "We asked that sister to buy oranges early in the morning, it was a lucky draw, and it's too late for my sister to be happy! Sister, tell me."

The woman on the cargo ship also covered her lips and smiled coquettishly: "That's right, this little girl from my sister's family is so cute, I don't know if she ever betrothed to someone else? My youngest brother is also an unmarried son. Why don't my sister come and sit at my house? Don't need a wallet." You can eat enough oranges."

Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen were caught off guard and coughed softly. Qingyi laughed and looked at Aqing who was pretty and flushed, and couldn't help smiling, "Thank you sister's orange, my sister is very shy, I'm sorry."

The small boat gradually distanced itself from the big boat, and the voice of the woman on board came from behind with a smile.

"You're welcome, there are always accidents near the shore ahead, the two sisters should be careful."

"It seems that they are talking about the front."

A-Qing tilted his head to look at Xiao Xingchen curiously, and said, "Master Daoist, what exactly are you talking about water monsters?"

"Throwing into the river and drowning people whose grievances cannot be resolved become ghosts, which will capsize the boats in the river and kill the people who fell into the water."

The boat was about to dock, and it was true that the boats in front of them could be seen bypassing a river, and the surrounding piers were bustling, but this place was extremely deserted.

Song Lan said calmly: "Let's go and have a look."

The boat swayed towards the surface of the water, and the boats on both sides and the people on the shore raised their voices to remind them to steer the boat away.

The boat sailed steadily towards the shore, and suddenly the boat sank, and it seemed to be submerged in the water.

"rise!"

Song Lan yelled, flipped the boat with a swipe of her toes, and rose into the air with Xiao Xingchen.

On the other side, Qingyi also lifted A-Qing into the air, and when she took a closer look, there were indeed two water ghosts with swollen faces on the bottom of the boat.

Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen subdued the water ghost, but Qingyi Hongling threw him onto the bank.The boat turned over lightly, and the four of them fell back on board.

Drive the sword into the water, but there is no change in the snow.

Xiao Xingchen said: "It seems that there is no more here. This place is under the jurisdiction of the Jiang family. There should be someone to deal with the follow-up. Zichen, let's go ashore in another place."

"it is good."

The boat turned around lightly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After entering the town, they realized that these few days coincided with the town's temple fair, and the temple fair was held for three consecutive days, and people from far and near villages would come here.

Among the bustling crowd, Song Lan held Xiao Xingchen's wrist with one hand and half-protected him in his arms to prevent pedestrians from bumping into him.

A-Qing has long been dazzled by the bustling market, she is still a girl at heart after all, so Qingyi is afraid that something will happen to her, so she goes along with her.

"Be careful!" Song Lan reached out and pulled Xiao Xingchen into his arms, avoiding the peddler's shoulder pole, but half of his shoulder bumped into the man beside him.The man passing by didn't even notice it, and walked away cheerfully.

Xiao Xingchen felt Song Lan's rapidly depressed atmosphere, and suggested, "We don't really need it, why don't we find a teahouse and wait for them to come back."

Song Lan couldn't help but rubbed between his brows, and said, "That's fine."

He has always had a slight obsession with cleanliness, and rarely goes to such a crowded place, so he is inevitably at a loss.

Yaoyao called Qingyi, pointed to the front, Qingyi understood, nodded with a smile.

The two entered the teahouse and sat down by the window, but they happened to hear someone talking about the water monster.

"This is also strange. Our place has been safe and smooth for decades, and I don't know what happened recently?"

It was an old man who spoke, with a strange and puzzled expression on his face.

A bystander wondered: "Old man, could it be that someone fell into the water again?"

"That's not true! A whole boat of loquats sank in the water yesterday. Fortunately, the couple on board are fine, but the boat of loquats is a pity."

A person at the next table waved his hand and said, "Oh, as long as you are still alive, what is a cargo of goods? It's a blessing that only yesterday's family came back after something happened these days."

The old man shook his head when he heard the words, "Not only! The boy who fell into the water for the first time was fine! After the kid got ashore, he was afraid that his mother would scold him, so he found a reed to sleep and dawdled for two days. Only when I went back yesterday did I find out that my mother thought he was He died, and gave that kid a good meal in anger."

Everyone in the teahouse laughed loudly.

Xiao Xingchen frowned. If it was a water ghost, how could ordinary people be safe?If it wasn't for the water ghost, wouldn't it be the water ghost that was caught in the morning?

Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen had the same thoughts, and asked the old man, "Old man, did they have an accident in the same place?"

The old man thought for a moment when he heard the words, then shook his head slowly, and said: "No, something happened at the dock, but the location is not sure."

At this moment, A-Qing and Qingyi came upstairs.

"Master Daoist, I heard people say that there is a lantern festival here at night, but it's so beautiful, let's stay and watch the lantern festival!"

Xiao Xingchen laughed, this girl was thinking about playing all day long, it seems that she should find something for her to do.

Song Lan looked up at the sky, it was almost noon.The four immediately decided to have lunch first.

The news from the tea house always made people feel puzzled. Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen finally decided to go to see it again. There were other things in the lake that they didn't know.

The boat sailed slowly away from the shore of the lake again.It was the beginning of May at this time, the breeze was blowing, the lotus leaves were pavilions, and the mist was vast.

Qingyi smiled and said: "In June and July, the lake will be full of lotus flowers, and it must be very lively. But it's not bad at this time, the scenery is moving, and it would be great to sing a song."

The ethereal singing rippling slowly on the surface of the water, the three people on the boat listened quietly, and after the song was over, the four of them were in a good mood.

Xiao Xingchen suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Song Lan and said, "Zichen, I remember that you also sang a song when you lost your way in the mountains and forests in the snowy night when you were young? It was because of that song that we were lucky enough to meet the guide of the herb picker." Direction, walk out of the mountains."

"It's just a matter of the past." Song Lan's face was cold and arrogant, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Xingchen couldn't guess what his expression was like, and felt a little disappointed, so he stopped talking.

Qingyi and A-Qing looked at each other, looking at the lake in tacit understanding, pretending to be looking at the scenery.

After a while of silence, a low and soft singing sounded slowly.Song Lan's voice was cold and cold, and there was a frosty coldness in her singing, and there was a bit of gentleness in the coldness, as intoxicating as the moonlight.

Xiao Xingchen was absorbed in listening, and the corners of his lips unconsciously brought a smile.

A-Qing glanced stealthily at Song Lan, and then quietly swept Xiao Xingchen's face.In the end, he blinked and looked at Qingyi, and the two of them leaned together and smiled tacitly.

"Huh? There's a ship there?"

Qingyi took a closer look, and saw that it was the boat that transported the oranges in the morning, so she couldn't help laughing and said, "What a coincidence!"

A-Qing curled her lips, "Hmph! It's not a coincidence at all."

Qingyi was about to laugh at her, when suddenly there was a scream from the boat, and Fuxueshuanghua screamed at the same time.

"There is something different in the water."

Song Lan frowned, and flew out to bring the two couples on the boat back to the boat.

The man on board had been bruised in several places by the cargo in the cabin, and the young woman was holding his arm tightly, her expression still terrified.

Qingyi patted the young woman's arm comfortingly, and said softly: "Sister, don't panic, this elder brother only has skin trauma, it's fine."

Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan joined forces to stabilize the cargo ship, most of the things on board were still there, only a few boxes of oranges fell into the water.

There is clearly something at the bottom of the water.

Qingyi's heart suddenly moved, and she stopped Song Lan who was about to enter the water with his sword.

"Daozhang, let me go down and take a look?"

Song Lan put the sword back into its sheath, watched Qingyi jump into the water, and stood side by side with Xiao Xingchen to watch the movement in the water intently.

A moment later, ripples appeared on the lake, and a cool and stunning face emerged from the water and came to the cargo ship.

"how?"

"A fish spirit has been subdued by me."

As soon as this happened, the lanterns would naturally be invisible.

Sending the couple who were so grateful and left half a box of citrus back to the boat, the four of them also returned to the island, and Qingyi also explained what she knew from the fish spirit.

It turns out that this Poyang Lake has existed since ancient times. A carp in the lake became enlightened after living for many years, and later accidentally became attached to a fisherman.The fisherman saw that it was smart, but he didn't hurt it, and each man and fish had some feelings.

Later, the carp spirit found a string of rare blue pearls at the bottom of the lake. It had a simple mind and only knew that this string of pearls could be given to the fisherman, but it didn't know that such a string of pearls was already priceless.

After Yulang got it, he was overjoyed. He never thought that his neighbor accidentally saw the object and became greedy, so he beat Yulang to death and threw him into the lake for the sake of pearl and his wife.

Seeing Yulang's corpse, the carp was furious and overturned the neighbor's boat. Unfortunately, the neighbor was hit by a cargo box after falling into the water, drowned in the river, and became a water ghost.

Afterwards, the carp also blamed the people in the area where the fisherman lived, and capsized their boats when he got angry.

For a while, it was impossible to say whether the fish spirit was right or wrong. Although it caused frequent accidents on the lake, the only person who died was the villain who murdered for money.

A-Qing blinked, "I didn't expect the monsters to repay their kindness? Sister Qingyi, did you kill that fish spirit?"

Qing Yi silently closed her mouth and looked at Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan.

Song Lan couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and looked at Qing Yi.

Qing Yi gathered her sleeves, and on the sleeves, thin silk threads gathered green leaves and white lotus on the red dress. A swimming fish was swimming happily, but suddenly its tail froze, and it was carefully hidden in a lotus leaf Down.

Song Lan looked away, and didn't ask Qing Yi what method she used, "Since it's allowed to stay, we can't let it cause trouble."

Xiao Xingchen pursed his lips and smiled, he knew Song Lan would say such a thing.

"All things have spirits. Demons are no different from humans. There are also good and evil. A-Qing, you will understand in the future."

The author has something to say:

small theater:
