Penglai delusion

Xi Mo had a cheeky old man Yang and took him to the main peak.

He was still wearing plain linen gray clothes, carrying a burden and Chang'an sword, and carrying a few gourd osmanthus wine in his hand, and said with a smile, "I will go to the competition on behalf of us in the back mountain, so that others will see that the old man sent me, but it is too late Prestige."

The old man laughed, "What's the prestige, just don't embarrass yourself."

Speaking of mentioning the string of gourds, he walked towards the main room, "I happen to be going to the main peak today, so you have to wait two hours."

Xi Mo responded, and after asking that there was no need to make lunch, he went to the firewood room for a walk.

My old wooden bed is still in place, but it has been used as another tool table. It looks dusty, as if it has not been used for a long time.

He remembered the first time when he broke open the hut here, it was full of fly ash everywhere, and he sighed with a smile, thinking that if he had a chance to visit again in the future, this place would probably be gradually engulfed by dust.

Xi Mo moved Zhang Mazha, and sat in front of the land where he had been filled in, his heart was warm, and he was not at all infected by the murderous aura emanating from the mountains.

Before leaving today, he cooked a large pot of braised rice soup on the stove, which was thick and sweet, kneaded brown sugar cake with sour hawthorn and longan, and mixed pickled soybeans with mulberries, counting the time when Jiangtan got up early, All simmered in a steamer with boiling water.After washing up, you will be able to have a hot breakfast.

I just don't know if I can find the white tea I left by the couch.

Xi Mo couldn't forget the white camellia that covered his body in the sunset when he was apprenticed to his teacher.He touched it quietly in the middle of the night, braved the silk rain, hid the spirit puppet, went around the mountain step and poked a branch to hide in his arms, then carefully shook off the water drops, and put it on the low cabinet next to the couch .

He thought that as long as Jiang Tan saw it, he would know what he meant.

If he also remembers how grand the wind and flowers were that day.The haze shattered Xiawei, tired Hongrui, wrinkled his clothes and hair, and messed up his laughter and tears.

If Su Yan is like this, I dare not forget each other.

After the wind blows, after the flowers fall, there is a person waiting for him.

From that day on, he had a master.

The old man came to pick up the car from the woodshed, and seeing Xi Mo squatting on the ground in a trance, he felt strange, and yelled at him, "Let's go!" Then he saw the child say "Oh", and came obediently.

Xi Mo sat cross-legged, staring at the Chang'an sword on his lap in a daze, when the old man suddenly threw a jujube into his arms.He was stunned for a moment, but he still raised his head to thank him, but the old man snorted, "It's a new one, try it."

Xi Mo looked at the small green and red fruit thoughtfully, ate one as he said, and suddenly felt his tongue salivate, and couldn't help praising, "It's so sweet." After tasting it, he said, "It feels like chestnuts. fragrant."

"You know how to eat it." The old man laughed. "This is a new variety I grafted on the cone tree. It grows together with the cone chestnut. It is called Yanlaiqing."

Xi Mo talked with the old man about the new dates, and finally stuffed the rest in his bag, waved goodbye, and landed in a flaming bush.

He took out the map of the main peak and looked at it, and said that this is the Wuyou Forest near Xuanwu Pool.

The Negative Shuang Courtyard where the participating disciples stayed temporarily is at the end of this forest.

He came a day earlier just to get familiar with the nearby roads.He was not in a hurry at the moment, so he followed the picture and wanted to go to the Xuanwu Pond to have a look at the famous Yanyao Water Lilies.

That kind of black lotus was once the symbol of the only true immortal in this world.

When Hongmeng was first established, a fairy was born in the sea and floated on the dream dailian.The dragons in the sea regard him as the master, and the dragon king puts the lotus on the horns of the dragon and travels to the eight poles.The fairy wakes up in the east from his dream, looking at the shadow of the Qianlin forest at the end of the month, moving, and between the waving of his right hand, there are peaks rising from nothingness, which are called Penglai.Immortals and dragons later settled here, and cast their living lotuses on Jizhi Peak.The moment the lotus fell to the ground, a large lake was born on the peak, and a white turtle broke through the water at the bottom of the lake, carrying the lotus on its back, becoming a holy beast, called Xuanwu.

Xuanwu Pool is being set up for this scene.The wall of the pool is carved from a whole piece of black jade, and there is a white stone turtle in the middle. Only water lilies grow on the surface of the pool, which bloom once every ten years.When it opens, the immortal energy of the main peak is at its peak.

Logically speaking, such a conspicuous pool should be easy to find, probably because Xi Mo knows the way.

Without much talent, I can't find a place even after wandering around for half a night.I simply folded the picture and walked in the autumn at will.

After walking like this, he saw some dark shadows vaguely in the gold and green.

As Xi Mo got closer, he heard small voices.He was about to walk to the edge of the pool, but at this moment his footsteps stopped, and it was too late to avoid it.

Two Economic Peak disciples were leaning against the fence and talking and laughing, and one of them's eyes lit up when he saw him, "Little Mo, did you come here specifically to find us?"

Xi Mo wanted to shake his head at that time, but he smiled and said, "Hello, Senior Brother Yu."

Since the last time I got close, Yu Shu heard that he didn't have any words yet, so he had to call him that.

Xi Mo always thought it was weird, but it was impossible to ask someone to change his mind.At this time, I saw Yu Shu lighting the handle and sprinkled gold lacquer bone fan and said, "You haven't seen my sister yet, come on, Ayin, let's get acquainted, this is you, Xi Mo... I think it's my senior brother."

"Hello Senior Brother Xi." The girl next to him smiled, her willow-leaf eyes were half full of autumn water, charming and natural beauty.

"Hello, Junior Sister Yu." Xi Mo smiled back, "Are you also here to admire the lotus?"

Yu Yin just laughed, melodious like a green bell, "Senior brother is so elegant, Dai Lian's half-concealed face is the most suitable for viewing. We have been here before, and now we just happened to meet someone here."

Xi Mo nodded, "If that's the case, then don't bother me."

Yu Yin glanced at him in confusion, "Why bother? Senior brother is here for the first time, and it will be fun if no one guides you. Anyway, I have nothing to do, why don't we go for a walk together."

Xi Mo paused when he heard the words, and subconsciously glanced at Yu Shu. Seeing him shake off the golden fan, his eyes moved slightly and he said, "I'll continue to wait for someone, let A Yin show you around."

Xi Mo still declined politely, but a faint scent of pearl jasmine came over his face.Yu Yin smiled and walked in front of him, "Brother, come with me."

"Please trouble Junior Sister Yu." Xi Mo nodded, and caught a glimpse of a hollowed-out silver sachet hanging from her waist, and there was a rhythm between her movements. I think this small piece is very delicate to wear, and I will see if I can use it when I have time later. Make one for Jiangtan.This man's waist has never been empty, no more than other elders, even the old man often wears a string of wine jugs.

Thinking about it, he turned his eyes away, looking at the lotus flower on the pond in a daze, only to be inadvertently dazzled by the light at the bottom of the pond.

Seeing him tilting his head slightly, Yu Yin smiled to himself, "Brother, this Xuanwu pool is the most effective wishing pool for Qingxu. I don't know how many gold, silver, beans, and copper coins are hidden at the bottom of the pool. It is said that the stone lotus on the back of the turtle was smashed into it. , must be wish come true. The disciples of the main peak love to come here to make a wish, but unfortunately there are very few who can hit Lianxin."

She sighed, "Like me, I didn't even touch the turtle's back."

"Why don't you try a few more times?" Xi Mo's heart skipped a beat, with a smile still on his face.

"Brother doesn't know, every time the daisy lotus is in full bloom, the stone lotus will bloom with it. If you vote here once, it won't count if you vote again." Yu Yin chatted with regret, "I hope I can win next time, After all, the lotus seems to be a good hit, even my master can't hit it."

"It's extremely difficult to get what you want." Xi Mo responded, "There's no need to be sad about it."

Yu Yin froze, clenched his fingertips slightly, and then smiled softly, "That's right. But because the stone lotus is rare, the people on the main peak prefer to hit the white turtle. There are different opinions for hitting different parts. The tortoise head means to be the leader."

"Well, it's the same as our hometown's request for a guarantee of luck." Xi Mo continued to respond.

Yu Yin picked up the sachet, tilted his head and smiled, "Coincidentally, there are also such sticks in the fairy temple in our hometown." Saying "Oh", a silver bean fell from nowhere, and it rolled to the ground. At Xi Mo's feet.

Xi Mo picked it up, and Yu Yin said in surprise, "Brother, it seems that you are destined to be in this pool, and you should invest in an investment bank. I don't have a purse today, so I don't think I will have a purse in my sleeve." Where are the silver beans?"

"This is junior sister's money, I can't use it." Xi Mo was unmoved.

"Senior brother, you don't have to be polite to me. You are my brother's honored guest. As a younger sister, I will

How can you treat me so badly? "Yu Yin hid her hands behind her back, pursed her lips slightly and said, "Brother will hear you later, and he will definitely say that I am slow. "

Xi Mo thought to himself that he couldn't avoid this encounter today, so he simply turned his back, threw it back casually, and then smiled, "Thank you, Junior Sister, for your hospitality."

Yu Yin's eyes widened, "Brother, you really hit it!"

As soon as the words fell, a roar came from the pool, "Ge Laozi is rampant! I said not to throw the board on me!"

Xi Mo was stunned, and when he turned his head, he saw the stone turtle in the pond rushing towards him aggressively, overturning countless Dailian along the way, and rushed to the front with flowers and waves.

He was stunned for a moment, and took two steps back before remembering to touch the sword behind his back. A large shadow had already loomed over him like a dark cloud.The stone tortoise has a huge body, but it climbs extremely fast. Seeing that it has stepped on the jade steps in the water, it wants to step down with hatred when it lifts up one foot.

Xi Mo reacted suddenly, rolled out of the stampede circle on the spot, and was thrown into the woods by the air waves carrying gravel, and hit a worry-free tree.

As soon as he touched the back of his head and leaned against the tree, the tortoise followed closely behind, looking like he was going to settle the score, there was no room for discussion.

Xi Mo was dizzy, pulled out the Chang'an sword and stepped on it firmly, and was knocked down by a wave of air within a few miles, almost causing a branch to pierce his eye socket.

The stone tortoise's trampling blow was no small matter, being stared at by it seemed to be trapped in a certain area and could not break free, and at any time it was in danger of being smashed into the ground by a mountain giant and reduced to a pulp.

Xi Mo was in so much pain that he spat out blood and finally took a breath.He breathed evenly and lifted the sword steadily, and brewed a few breaths in his heart, raised his right wrist in a slanted gesture, and immediately cut a half arc with his feet, as if he had created a unique path, and was confined to a square inch.

With this attack, under the blue sky and bright sun, there is a momentum of wind and rain.

He took advantage of the situation to turn around, and as soon as he looked back, there was a muffled sound facing him.

As if something was broken, but also as if there was nothing.

But the sense of oppression that seemed to be wrapped in thousands of mountains and rivers did slowly dissipate.

Xi Mo forcibly stopped his sword, and saw a man suddenly sitting on the turtle's neck, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

The words were spoken to the stone turtle.

Shi Gui shook his head and couldn't get rid of the man, he was too angry to swear a word, his nostrils were full of anger, and he was about to explode.But the man took out a fishing rod from his back, unhurriedly strung up a dozen dried cod, flicked the line, and hooked it firmly in front of the turtle's nose.

The stone tortoise was breathing in clouds and mist like a bellows, in this way, it inhaled the smell of fish with its nose and lungs full, and its exhalation gradually became steady. After a while, all the clouds and mist disappeared.

The man stroked the turtle's neck, "Let's go, retreat slowly. You are so big, if you move around again, the tree will be destroyed even more."

The stone tortoise seemed to be hesitating, and the unknown fire was extinguished by touching it. It only sniffed the cod, and slowly began to move back.In this way, he retreated all the way to the Xuanwu Pond, returned to his original position, and then gradually became entrenched.

The man put away his fishing rod, climbed onto the back of the turtle with some difficulty, and waved to the sky. The scarlet-golden dragon patterns on the cloud robe fluttered in the wind, "Senior brother, here!"

Bi Fang, who had been wandering outside the clouds, bent down, grabbed the man with one foot, and put him danglingly on the poolside.

As soon as Xi Mo stepped out of the forest, he saw the man smiling at him, and the only pair of almond eyes that could still see the clear and beautiful color of the past squeezed into a line, "Brother Xi Mo!"

As soon as she made such a sound, he dared to admit it.

"Pei'er." Xi Mo wiped off the blood on the corner of his lips, showing an unusually bright smile, "Long time no see."
