I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

At the time of the Jingzhe, the continuous drizzle had been falling tirelessly for three whole days.

The smog in Mount Sumeru, and the blooming apricot blossoms on the branches visited by the spring rain, form two completely different worlds from the war-torn human world.

There is a bodhi tree beside the Lingtan in the deep mountain, which will be full of flowers every March.It absorbs the aura of the mountains, the essence of the sun and the moon for many years, and over time, even the fragrance of flowers has a bit of immortality.

Until one day, several wine vats suddenly appeared under the Bodhi tree, and an old scalper was tied to the trunk with a thick hemp rope to plow the ground.Then, bamboo fences were inserted around it, and a thatched hut was built under the tree, forcibly adding a sense of disobedience to this fairyland that does not disturb the dust.

To say that this "something" with a bad atmosphere has a lot of background, he is a popular person in front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.Regardless of his young age, he looks like a fool all day long, but it is said that he can understand the three worlds by virtue of his hearing, and possesses extraordinary insight and wisdom.

He has a name, Di Ting...

"September [-]th, grab the wine, I'll go up to the west building..." Di Ting was wearing a fog-colored gown, and his sleeves were pushed up to his elbows.

There was a flagon hanging on his waist, and with a broom in his hand, he swept the bodhi flowers that had fallen on the ground into the dustpan, put them in the Lingtan to wash them, and then soaked them in the wine vat.

Di Ting wiped off his sweat, took a sip from the flagon, shook his head and continued to compose a ditty.

"Xilou, I have no friends. I have..." He smacked his lips, turned around and pointed at the old cow tied under the tree, and hiccupped, "I have a head... an old scalper!"

After singing, he entertained himself and repeatedly sighed: "Good song, good song!"

The old scalper flicked his tail, lowered his head and continued to gnaw the tender grass on the ground, completely ignoring the drunk man at the moment.The man also gradually lost interest, looked at the misty and rainy Mount Sumeru, and sighed softly: "It's boring, it's boring..."

After brewing new wine, Di Ting put the broom aside, turned and went back to the house.After a while, he went out of the small courtyard with a fishing rod, leaned on the stone beside the Lingtan, hung the bait on the other end of the fishing line, and threw it into the Lingtan...

He rested his chin and waited boredly for the fish to come with half-closed eyes.After the bait is eaten clean, the fishing rod is lifted and glued again.Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there was no hook at the end of the fishing line, so he was feeding the fish rather than fishing.

After going back and forth dozens of times like this, most of the day was spent by him again...

Di Ting yawned, picked up the jug and took a sip, lazily complaining: "I said to let me wait here, but I didn't even say that I waited for anyone. It's a ghost who is free and easy. If you stay like this , will become those boring fairies..."

He picked up a small stone, aimed at the quietly swaying golden lotus in the Lingtan, and threw the stone over with a "chuckle".The stone sank on the edge of the golden lotus, causing layers of ripples.

Listening to the truth: "Xiaohua, Xiaohua, if you say that we are really connected by fate, you have been planted here by Subhuti longer than me, so you are probably lonely too?"

Only the sound of falling rain answered him.

"No, I think you are worse than me, you can't speak or move when you stay there... Hey, tell me, even if you are awarded the title of 'Lotus Venerable', what's the use of it? ?”

Still no response.

"I said, Xiaohua, are you male or female?...Oh no, are you male...or female?"

The drunkenness gradually came to his head, and the eyes of Di Ting were covered with a little drunkenness. He smiled lightly and said, "If you want me to say, it's better to be a female. It is said that the three realms are stunning, and Zezhi is better. If it is a man, it would be a pity." ? Are you right?"

Lingtan reflected his shadow, and a bodhi flower was blown onto the water by the wind, which happened to cover his tired eyes.He poured half of the remaining wine into the pool, and raised the wine pot at Lianhua in the middle.

"Beauty, today is the day you and I drink together."

The sky gradually turned dark, the rain stopped, and the bright moonlight emerged from the clouds, casting the moonlight on Mount Sumeru.

Di Ting sat by the Lingtan from drunk to waking up and was slightly drunk again, yawned and patted the corner of his clothes to stand up, turned back to the small courtyard, and closed the door.

He opened the window to let the scent of linden flowers flow into the room.Then he lay reclined on the bed, counting the stars with one arm on his head and playing.Counting and counting, sleepiness slowly swept over.He turned over and fell into a dream from time to time...

It was not the light of the sky and the singing of birds that awakened Truth again, but the light and regular knocking on the door outside the house.

No more, no less, three times at a time.

Di Ting frowned and opened his eyes, only to find that it was still night.

One must know that on Mount Sumeru, besides the flowers, birds, fish and insects, he is the only one.Now that there is such a "civilized" knock on the door, it is either a dream or a hallucination.

Knock, knock, knock...

The door rang three times again, and Di Ting couldn't lie to himself this time.In addition to curiosity, it is more exciting.He hurriedly got out of bed, put on his long gown and opened the chaimen.

At this time, there happened to be a breeze that swept the petals and the smell that belonged to the night into the house.After hearing the person outside the house, Di couldn't help being stunned...

I saw the man wearing a moon-white robe, holding two wine jars in his hands, and staring at him quietly with those eyes that seemed to make people sink deeply just by looking at each other.

Di Ting swallowed his saliva, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses, and asked with a smile, "Who are you...?"

"Listen..." the man said lightly, his voice was very deep, "Don't you recognize me?"

Seeing Di Ting's silence for a long time, the man's eyes showed a trace of disappointment, but he still took the initiative in a gentle voice: "I am Lianhua."

"Are you... that flower, flower in Lingtan?"

"Sorry." Lianhua stared at Diting and paused for a moment, "I'm not a woman, I let you down."

"Pfft——" Di Ting's face turned red in an instant, coughed twice in embarrassment, and explained with a smile, "It's all a joke, a joke! It's just a joke!" His eyes followed Lianhua's face to look at He picked up the wine jar in his hand and asked, "Are you..."

"I will always drink your wine before, and this is in return for you."

"Brother Hua, you are so polite!" Di Ting took the wine in Lianhua's hand, opened the lid and smelled it, and was shocked, "This is... Mount Jialan flower sculpture? Where did you get it?! "

"Naturally on Mount Jialan."

After hearing this, Di Ting was even more surprised. He blinked and said, "Do you know the Five Immortals of Jialan?"

Lianhua shook her head.

"then you……"

"I heard from you that I have always wanted to taste this wine, and I went there just now." Lianhua said lightly, "This wine was placed at the bottom of Jialan Stream, so I brought it back."

Di Ting only felt a "bang" in his heart, and asked stiffly: "So, do the five immortals know about this?"

"I didn't know there were still people living on Mount Jialan."

"..." He listened at a loss for words, and said to his heart, big brother, don't be ridiculous, if there is no one on the mountain, how can there be someone brewing wine? !

He returned the wine jar to Lianhua again, and said sternly: "You haven't been down the mountain yet, I don't blame you if you don't know the world... It's not too late, return the wine now!"

Lianhua frowned: "Why?"

"Brother, you are stealing!" Di Ting was very speechless, "Besides, the five immortals on Jialan Mountain are more difficult than each other, if they know, it will be okay?"

"Don't worry, they are not my opponents."

Di Ting nearly sprayed Lian Hua with a mouthful of old blood, shook his head and laughed and said, "Are you sure you were raised by Subhuti? That's how he taught you to be a human being?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard deafening shouts and curses echoing in the mountains.

Di Ting covered his face: "It's over, it's over, the ancestors have come." He turned his head and said to Lianhua helplessly, "You should find a place to hide for a while. Since they are guests, I have to go to meet them first... ..."

After that, he put on his clothes and went out of the house, and untied the hemp rope that tied the cattle from the linden tree.Riding an old scalper on the bluestone road, walking into the night...

……

Egrets fly through the mist towards the setting sun that is about to end, and the mountains are dyed a touch of red by the afterglow of the sunset.

In the light rain of apricot blossoms, a drunken singing sounded.

I saw five cyclists with very different looks drunk in the forest, the wine jars were poured down in disorder, and the remaining bodhi wine in the jars flowed into Qingxi.

"Hi, that's you, Brother Di Ting! If it were someone else today, let's see how we guys deal with him!" The old man with white hair and childlike face held the wine pot in one hand, and hooked Di Ting's shoulders with the other, with his whole body weight on his shoulders. on the opponent.

"Yes yes yes, what Lao Er Xu said is that it's all because of the younger brother's greed for a drink. Thinking that our brothers are good friends, he just left a note and took the wine without authorization. Unexpectedly, the note was swept away by the wind, and everyone brothers I'm worried!" Di Ting said with a smile on his face, "Come on, I'll punish myself with another drink!"

"Hey, you don't have to blame yourself too much when you listen to it." The goatee with white feathers on the side smiled and said, "It was a misunderstanding in the end! Besides, you also exchanged bodhi wine with us, didn't you?"

"No, no, I was the one who was abrupt." Di Ting reopened a jar of wine, filled it up for all the immortals, raised his glass and said to Goat Hu, "I'll toast Lingya Immortal again!"

"cheers!"

"It's said to be good at listening to the rhythm, every plant and tree in your hands can be used to play..." The drunken purple-haired fairy drank the wine in the glass and said loudly, "I wonder if I will be lucky enough to experience it today. ?”

"Very good, very good!" The other two immortals who held a branch of peach blossom and a branch of pear blossom respectively took advantage of the situation and hurriedly echoed.

Listening carefully, I know that if I don't take good care of them now, I won't be able to do it.Immediately hooked his lips into a smile: "Then... show your ugliness?"

As he spoke, he picked up a leaf on the ground, rubbed it with his sleeve, and placed it gently on his lips.

"That's it."

As the sun goes down, melodious and melodious tunes come from Mount Sumeru...

……

This drink has been drinking since the five immortals of Jialan came to drink at night.When the sun had completely set, the five ancestors were finally full of wine and food, and had a good time drinking.

Seeing them carrying the bodhi wine and Mount Sumeru treasures on their mounts, carrying the bodhi wine and Mount Sumeru, and leaving crookedly on the clouds, Di Ting finally heaved a sigh of relief and leaned on the bodhi tree in the courtyard.

"Fortunately, you met me today, otherwise you would have suffered, Brother Xiaohua."

"I said before, they are not my opponents." Lianhua frowned and paused, "Probably not your opponents either."

"Oh, what do you know?" Di Ting closed his eyes and smiled, "The five of them have close contacts with all the gods and ghosts in the sky and on the earth. If they are really offended and tripped up secretly, then it is really not worth it. The world is so complicated."

After listening to Di, seeing that Lianhua hadn't spoken for a long time, she slightly raised her eyes to look at the other party and asked, "Why, don't you understand?"

"not understand."

Hearing the words, Di raised his eyebrows, looked up at the bodhi flowers all over the tree, and smiled to himself.

Then, he closed his eyes again, and said softly: "If you don't understand, then you don't understand, it's just some boring things..."

After that, Di Ting didn't speak again.The head leaning on the bodhi tree is slightly tilted to one side, I don't know if I am asleep or awake.

The bodhi flower quietly floated on his shoulders, and was lightly brushed by him and fell to the tender grass again.

Lianhua just watched silently, then bent down and picked up a leaf on the ground, held it between her fingers and rubbed it hesitantly.

"That's called the grass flute." Di Ting said lazily with his eyes closed, "Does it sound good?"

Lianhua looked at the leaf in her hand, her eyes became more gentle and deep.

"Sounds good." He whispered.

"It's nice to listen to Gai'er and I'll teach you tomorrow." Di Ting stretched her waist, and raised the corners of her lips at Lianhua.

"It's nice that I'm not alone anymore."
