Penglai delusion

Xi Mo was blindfolded in the room, and did not step outside the door.Two days later, Ning Liancheng knocked on the door.

"Junior brother, today is the last episode of "Su Mu Zhe", how about we go to celebrate?"

After a while, I saw the boy reluctantly opened the door and smiled, "Brother, we are already festive enough, we don't need to touch any more."

Ning Liancheng took a good look at him, "You look like this, but you can't convince me at all."

He suddenly realized that Xi Mo was looking at him aggrievedly, the corners of his eyes turned bright red, like a little white rabbit who had accidentally rolled over a pile of makeup.

There was no reason to soften her heart, "Let's go, just take a break with me?"

Xi Mo let out an "oh", went back to the room and rubbed his face with cold water, rearranged his collar and gown, and followed the person wearily.

He had already walked several hundred steps out of Cui's mansion, and he seemed to think of something, "Hey, where is Senior Sister?"

"Drinking tea in the boat." Ning Liancheng said, "She is in a good mood today, so she personally cooked a pot and invited the owner to drink with her."

Xi Mo sighed and stopped talking.

In the past few days, various families along the coast have successively received Cui's wax seals, and those who are interested can go to Yanling Kanjiang Temple to participate in the meeting when they are young.

There are still a few days before the sub-year-old, and the hotels and buildings in the city are already full of people, and they look like an unprecedented enthusiasm.

The lower the temperature today, the more lively the streets will be.

As Xi Mo shuttled through the crowd, he felt all kinds of colors catch his eyes and his ears hit his ears.The people in the Taoist world, shoulder to shoulder, shouted at the top of their voices even for casual conversation.

In the distance, on the high platform with floating green and leaning against red, there is only a group of musicians playing.Comedians in costumes mingled among the crowd, or used sweet-scented osmanthus as a hook, and dragged people to give gifts;Some people missed it, and even stopped and waited in front of the copper bowl to get some water stains on their clothes before leaving happily.

When passing by the door of a restaurant, Xi Mo was shaken all over by a branch.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that since he stepped out of the room, he hadn't thought about keeping out the cold.Now that there are drops of cold water on his face, he can't feel the slightest chill.

I was lucky.Immediately, wisps of white smoke wafted from his head to show off, but it looked like he was terribly frozen.

This is a bit too festive.Xi Mo was thinking, and a bowl of red bean paste was handed in front of him.

"Junior Brother, here it is." Ning Liancheng said considerately, "Drink some hot to warm your stomach."

Xi Mo became more and more depressed, "Thank you, brother, but..."

This looks like coaxing children.

Ning Liancheng nodded, "When you're unhappy, just eat something sweet."

Xi Mo was silent for a moment, and said, "Brother is right."

This will be eaten one bite at a time.

I only ate half a bowl, and another rabbit dumpling was stuffed in my hand.

Xi Mo didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only gnaw the rabbit's head, chewing it slowly between his teeth, watching Ning Liancheng spread it with cakes, and he carried a box full.

"Brother, why don't you come?" Xi Mo's cheeks bulged, and he was patted on the head unexpectedly.

"Talk after eating, beware of biting your tongue." Ning Liancheng said, "Mine are all here, if I come back early, maybe I can have a cup of tea."

Xi Mo shut his mouth, opened his bow left and right, and swallowed the food in his hand in a short while.Momozui was about to talk to Ning Liancheng, when another person came with a bunch of sugar beads.

"I thought it was a pendant. The boss said it was made of amber beads. Children like it the most. They hang around their necks and they won't lose them even if they run around all day."

Xi Mo:? ? ?

"Thank you, senior brother." He looked at Ning Liancheng's expecting gaze, so he had no choice but to take the sugar beads over, shook them in his hands, and chewed the next one.

Ning Liancheng stared at him for a moment, and finally said, "Junior brother, I just realized that you really look like a little rabbit. You have snowy ears and bright eyes, and you are fluffy, and you are very delicate when you eat."

He said sincerely, "I wanted to raise rabbits very much when I was a child. However, after arriving in Penglai, I found that although there are many spirit beasts, there is not a single little rabbit."

Xi Mo couldn't take it anymore, "Brother, I'm going to be angry."

"I'm just kidding, don't be angry." Ning Liancheng laughed, obviously not joking.

There was a smile on his lips, but he couldn't avoid it, and was abducted by the lapel with the clasp of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Ning Liancheng stared at the furious face, slightly startled, then nodded and said "Thank you".

But that side didn't let him go.

It stands to reason that at this time, an osmanthus bracelet should be presented as a gift, but the person opposite clearly didn't show any sign, just raised his head and stood there quietly without making a sound.

Xi Mo sensed that something was wrong, and was about to speak to him, when the man raised his wrist, and finally moved.

The fierce face was pulled away, revealing a young man like the mist of spring dawn.

As the veil on Su Fang's high crown flicked, it seemed that there was a mist pushing the spring scenery.Standing there, he looked like a tree of glazed flowers in a secluded garden, and was as beautiful as a phantom floating in the sky, so clear that it would shatter at the touch of a finger.

Seeing Ning Liancheng looking at him, he evoked a faint smile, "Brother is good."

There also seemed to be a shadow in his eyes, wrapped around like a vine, "I caught you, come home with me."

Ning Liancheng was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Xi Mo.

I saw someone chewing on the sugar beads, and said slowly, "Sorry, you mistook it, this is my brother."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to climb onto his arm, and said sheepishly, "Brother, this candy is delicious, and I want a bunch of it."

Xi Mo took Ning Liancheng and left.

The boy didn't say much, he took off his mask and followed them step by step.

But Ning Liancheng stopped in front of the candy shop and bought two more hanging amber sticks. After thinking about it, he handed another hanging to the young man behind him.

Xi Mo tugged at his sleeve, but he shook his head and whispered, "Let's go."

When he got out of the city gate, Xi Mo slightly turned his head and saw that the young man was flipping through the string of sugar beads. When he had seen enough, he threw it in the woods beside the road.

He met Xi Mo's gaze in front of him, twirled the powdered sugar on his fingertips without changing his face, and followed straight ahead.

"Brother, here we go again, shall we run?" Xi Mo blinked.

Ning Liancheng said, "No need."

The young man calmly walked out of the city with them, and came straight to Cui's residence.

Cui Ce, who was waiting in the sedan chair hall, came out to greet him, "Oh, what a coincidence? Three, please come inside."

"Cebo, who is this?" Ning Liancheng smiled, and Cui Ce said cheerfully, "Our young master, we agreed to come here today."

Then he said, "The second master is having a drink with the girl in Guifang, please walk with the old servant for a while."

"Ce Bo, we won't go there when our relatives get together, please pass this over." Ning Liancheng gave out the square box in his hand.

Cui Ce agreed, took the box, and was about to say something, but the boy opened his mouth first.

"Brother, what are you afraid of." He stared at Ning Liancheng without blinking, "Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

This sounded aggressive, but he said it casually.The eyes looked very serious, and there was no meaning of ridicule.

Ning Liancheng said, "Little brother, you may have misidentified the person."

The young man smiled to himself, "I can't mistake anyone, but I can't mistake you."

After saying that, he said to Cui Ce, "Lead the way."

Xi Mo watched them go, "Brother, this person is very suspicious. Shall we go and have a look?"

Ning Liancheng said "OK", and the two walked towards Lanting together.

Turning around a clump of golden leaves and heavenly fragrance, an ancient boat appears in the shadow of stacked mountains and lakes.As the sweet-scented osmanthus fell, one could faintly see sparks from the stove in the cabin, and the clouds of clothes were blowing.

Cui Ce went to report and saw Cui Haota laughing inside, "Aye, look at your outfit, are you having a good time?"

"Hello, Uncle." The young man saluted lightly and said nothing more.

Cui Hao said to the cabin, "Qing'er, this is your younger brother Ji Ye, the sweetheart of your aunt's family."

Cui Yangqing put down the teacup, and walked over with a blank expression.

"Aye, you, sister Yangqing, just came back from Penglai." Cui Hao wanted to let him in, "It's been a hard journey. Your mother has delivered a letter to me. It's rare that you are young enough to represent Attended at home."

Ji Ye blocked it.He stopped right there, without any hesitation, and just said, "Hello, cousin."

Cui Yangqing remained steadfast, "Auntie changed her marriage?"

Ji Ye didn't care, "I'm not from my mother. I haven't changed my name, but my mother is kind-hearted and thinks of my birth mother."

Cui Yangqing asked again, "Why did you order your adopted son to attend on behalf of the Ning family?"

Cui Hao felt that the atmosphere was not right, so after considering it for a while, he said, "Come on, let's sit back and talk."

However, he was the only one who sat down, while the other two went in and remained deadlocked at the table.

Cui Yangqing looked at Ji Ye, and Ji Ye looked at the box above the table.

Cui Hao sighed.

Many years ago, shortly after Cui Yangqing went to Penglai, Cui Ai completely cut off contact with her family, and she just said don't worry about it.Mrs. Cui was still there at that time, so she was worried and sent people to ask, but they were all turned away.

Cui Hao personally visited Ning's house.Cui Ai only said that she wanted to stay with her husband's family and seek the way of longevity, and waited for the Tao of Penglai to open up, so she went to seek immortality and Taoism.

At that time, Cui Hao didn't know why, so he had to go back home.

Half a year ago, the Cui Mansion received a letter, and only then did they know the whole story.

It turns out that Cui Ai's only bloodline, Ning Shao, died before he was ten years old.She loves her son eagerly, is full of worries, and does not want to be born again, so she had a quarrel with Third Master Ning.

It wasn't until a coincidence happened that a caring child was accepted, and this was a relief.

Cui Hao said, "I'm very happy. With Aye here, she finally came out."

After hearing this, Cui Yangqing turned around and left, "Come with me."

She was extremely blunt, and Ji Ye followed suit.

Cui Hao suddenly trembled with fear, "Qing'er, what are you going to do?"

Cui Yangqing didn't pay any attention, and led her to the golden-leaf celestial fragrance bush, "What's going on."

Ning Liancheng and Xi Mo didn't deliberately hide their aura, so they were caught straight.

"Mother said that my brother was dead, but I didn't believe it. Isn't this true, did you find it for me?" Ji Ye smiled to himself, his eyes became darker and darker.

He was clearly not afraid of Cui Yangqing, and he directly ignored the murderous aura rising from her body.

Cui Yangqing looked at Ji Ye coldly, with strong killing intent, "Who are you?"

"Didn't uncle make it clear?" Ji Ye clenched his fists hanging by his side, his teeth began to tremble, and he still spoke slowly, "Don't be harsh, cousin, I'm from the Ning family until now. s Choice."

Cui Yangqing said, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

Ji Ye vomited blood, his whole body was so pale that he seemed to dissipate, "Cousin, is she going to draw her sword at me?"

He said, "The Qingxu Immortal School really lives up to its reputation."

"Senior sister, please be merciful." Ning Liancheng hesitated, "If I can take a look at that letter from the family, I will naturally know whether it is true or not."

Cui Yangqing said, "What's the matter with you?"

Ning Liancheng paused, "No one. I am no longer part of the Ning family."

He was very calm, looking relieved, with a slight smile on his face.

Cui Yangqing was silent for a moment, and said, "Is this why you don't have words?"

Ning Liancheng nodded.

Ancient Kyushu has always had a tradition of selecting characters.

This habit is owned by aristocratic families.Generally speaking, men add crowns and characters, women add ji and characters.As for the children of the clan who wish to seek immortality, if they are not yet old, before boarding the dragon boat, they will first get good characters so that they can be called later.Or the heirs of the factor are no longer visible, and they have been established for a long time, with both names, so that they can be included in the genealogy.

Xi Mo knew that Ning Liancheng's characters were taken by the head of the sect.

"What are you talking about. My mother misses you so far, and she keeps talking about you every day." Ji Ye said, "After all, you are born as a Ning family, and you are a ghost of the Ning family when you die."

When Ning Liancheng heard the words, he just lowered his eyes, not knowing how to respond.

Ji Ye stared at him with cold eyes, "My brother never looks at me, does it mean he doesn't like me?"

He asked solemnly, but his tone was very light, as if he didn't care about the answer.

"Sorry." Ning Liancheng said, "I... just found out that you are from the Ning family."

Ji Ye just stared at him, and said after a while, "When will brother go back?"

"...Not yet." Ning Liancheng was stared at by him, but he was a little worried, "How are you doing in Ning's house? Is mother treating you okay?"

Ji Ye was silent for a long time, "Of course it's very good."

Ning Liancheng stopped talking.

After deliberating for a while, his tone became more benign, "Come with me. I can palm the root bone for you. If it's suitable, it's over. I can introduce you to the Immortal School."

"Brother, I want to stay with my mother." Ji Ye said, "After all, someone has to do this, right?"

He said word by word, "If you don't do it, I will naturally have to do it."

Ning Liancheng remained silent, and the smile in Chang Han's eyes faded a lot.

He made up his mind, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "If you wish to come, I will make an agreement with Aunt."

Ji Ye suddenly smiled.For a moment, the trees and branches were full of radiance, and when they were in full bloom, they fell to pieces when they fell behind.

"Brother, you must do what you say." He said, "I hate people who don't keep their word."

After saying that, he turned and left.Ning Liancheng stepped up on his heels, and heard a muffled sound, and suddenly felt the sweet-scented osmanthus falling down from the top, blurring his vision.

Cui Yangqing indifferently threw a throwing knife on the tree, looking extremely displeased.

Xi Mo said, "Sister, should we..."

Cui Yangqing only looked at Ning Liancheng's back and said, "The Ning family doesn't recognize it, but I do."

She said, "Ning Shao, remember, I only recognize you as a cousin."

Xi Mo lowered his head and remained silent.

But he wondered, would senior brother be expelled just like A Niang, who left without permission?

However, seeking immortality is a matter of honor, and Ning Liancheng was only in his prime at that time, so he should be seen off with his family on the road, so why did he run away quietly?
