Four in the same order

After exchanging pleasantries, Qi Chuo was ready to take Ranheng and Xuedai to the last section of the Splendid Boat—a landscape garden for the Supreme Beings and Sages to cut new clothes and relieve their worries.

Xiangjianhuan was built in the vast distant mountains on the other side of Zhulang Bay, but I heard that you need to go into the water to take a fish to get there. Xuedai, who was eager to try every new thing before, showed hesitation and asked worriedly: "...we won't drown?"

Rivers are as clean as washing but bottomless. They can hold thousands and swallow all living beings.Facing something like Shuichuan that cannot be easily controlled but has absolute power, Xuedai instinctively resists.

Hearing Xuedai's fear, Qi Chuo immediately poured out two round red fruits with a faint golden light from the silk sachet at his waist, and offered them forward: "This is a sandy fruit with more aura and better taste than Xuanbing fruit." Tang Guo, eat one and you can swim in the water for a whole day without worrying about drowning."

"Shatang fruit?" Hearing the name of the melon and fruit that had only been seen in the allusions, Ran Heng's eyes flashed, "It is said that the tree of Shatang is a unique sacred tree in Xuanying Xuzhou Tianlei Domain, and its wood Shipbuilding does not rot, the fruit is good for cultivation, sweet and seedless, not to be drowned in food, extremely precious... These rare fruits should be specially offered by Xuanying's famous family, so it is not good to leave them to us like this."

What is the purpose of generously gifting two fruits of the sacred tree when they first met?In order to prevent drowning, isn't the Xuanbingguo, which has a large yield and can last for half a day, also effective?The latter also tastes a bit tormenting...

Recalling the feeling when he tasted Xuanbingguo for the first time when he was young, Ranheng couldn't help but shudder.

As if he had expected Ran Heng's reaction, Qi Chuo replied after hearing this: "Hearing that His Majesty is married, I prepared a little gift before I came, and I hope His Majesty will accept it."

I can receive the fruit of the sacred tree as a gift without holding a wedding banquet. No matter how you look at it, I earned it...

Ranheng didn't want to miss this opportunity to taste the Shatang fruit, so she thanked her immediately and asked Xuedai to take the fruit with her.

Indeed, as recorded in "Tai Su Qi Zhen Ji", it tastes sweet but has no seeds, but apart from containing aura, there is nothing special about it... just like eating plums.

Ranheng savored the taste carefully while evaluating silently, Xuedai didn't say much when she saw this, and imitated Ranheng and lightly bit the sand in her hand.

After finishing the preparatory work, the three of them did not stay any longer, and dived into the water together with the male fish.

The surface of the water was turbulent and calmed down in an instant, but Xue Dai, who was riding a giant fish for the first time, and diving into the water for the first time, felt her heart was surging like a wave.

There are water-proof shields under lacquered cloth on all sides, and there are sand tree nuts in the stomach to prevent drowning. The precautions are perfect, but Xuedai, who has not overcome all fears, has never dared to open her eyes after entering the water and took a deep breath. .

No matter how ignorant Xuedai is, she can still feel it. Her excessive reaction to entering the water will be regarded as abnormal by others.The more she wants to integrate into the surrounding environment, the more she cares about the reaction of her surroundings. She doesn't want to be excluded, so she can only bury her fear in her heart and bear and digest it alone.

It's a pity that Xue Dai pretended that everything was fine and her acting skills were not natural enough. She didn't realize that she would hang her head in silence when she was depressed, but there was one person who had noticed it long ago and locked her eyes on her before entering the water body.

Ranheng sat in front of Xuedai, because she knew that there would be a shield to keep the water out, so she didn't take off the curtain for Xuedai before entering the water.

It took only a short time to enter the water, but Ran Heng fully felt the anxiety in Xue Dai's heart through a thin layer of black gauze during this short time—Xue Dai's eyes were closed, her brows were tightly furrowed, her eyelashes were trembling, her hands were She was still tugging at the hem of Ranheng's clothes and trembling. She was not swallowed by the river, but she was about to be eroded by the fear in her heart.

Ran Heng couldn't bear to continue watching with a hardened heart, she looked away, sighed, and then called Mu Li, stretched out her free right hand, covered her trembling slender hands at the hem of her cloth robe with her backhand, and said in a deep voice: " If you are afraid, you can lean on my back."

In the eyes of most people, there is no difference between a marriage and a fixed relationship, they are considered to be a marriage, so Ranheng didn't bother to worry about what Qi Chuo, who was sitting at the front navigating, would think of her and Xue after hearing what she said Dai.

After all, Ranheng knew that it was her own fault first, she had been in this world for too long, so long that she almost forgot the panic she felt when she first entered the water as a child, otherwise she wouldn't be so Carelessly leading an ignorant and immature girl who had been hardened for half a day, she dived into the water, facing the vastness of the river and her own insignificance.

If she was still the half-dead grass lingering in the crevices of the mountains, not to mention diving into the water, even letting her roots leave the soil for a moment would undoubtedly cause her to kill herself.

The spiritual land is virtuous, but also extremely cruel. It can accommodate the birth and growth of all things, but it is unwilling to accept any rotting corpses polluting the purity of the earth veins.

All things were born in the sky, and they will go with the sky after death. There will be no bones or remains of them on the ground. The only things that can prove that they have existed as an entity are those that are differentiated from their corpses and float in the air. The sporadic points of light that are almost gone.

If Xuedai's body is really a snowflake, then she must also be afraid of melting into the river of water and disappearing into the world. Feeling afraid at this time is also a kind of instinct of her soul.

But in a short while, Ranheng was already full of emotion, if not for a pair of plain lotus arms around her waist suddenly, she would continue to let her thoughts soar.

Ranheng borrowed her back to support Xuedai who was struggling alone, but she didn't think to put her front waist together, but she was afraid of aggravating the uneasiness of the people behind her, so Ranheng neither dared to get rid of the restraint on her waist, nor She didn't dare to reprimand the culprit aloud, and don't add unnecessary movements without authorization, so she didn't know that the petite girl leaning behind her had opened her eyes at this time, and was looking at the surrounding Chengbi River with a smile on her face.

Among the lush greenery on the other side of Zhulang Bay, there is a beautiful island surrounded by mountains and water. This island is full of clouds and colorful colors. You can enjoy willows in spring, play with fish in summer, listen to maple leaves in autumn, and taste snow in winter. wonderland.

However, places that can be called fairyland are not places that ordinary people can easily go to.The majestic mountains surrounding the island and the turbulent river together constitute a natural protective barrier, preventing ordinary people from stepping in and prying.

Had it not been for the first head of Jinxiufang, the ancestor of the Han family of Xuanying's four families, Han You, the great-grandfather of Han Lian, the current king of Xuanying, who had set the seventh section of Jinxiufang's largest scale, "Meeting and Joy", here, I'm afraid it would have been so. The beauty of this island is still unknown to this day.

Ran Heng and his party went ashore from a deep pool near the island, while Heng Gongyu stayed in the deep pool with the corner of his helmet against Xue Dai's curtain.

There is a curtain of waterfall hanging behind Youbi Deep Tan, the waterfall is as fast as a cow, splashing a large amount of water when it hits the Tan, but due to the presence of Qi Chuo, both Ranheng and Xuedai do not touch a drop of water.

Not far from Shentan is a quiet garden with white walls and black tiles. A stone plaque engraved with the words "meeting joy" hangs at the main entrance of the garden. the arrival of guests.

Qi Chuo had already noticed the strangeness in the rear when she was in the water, but out of courtesy, she neither turned her head back nor disturbed her along the way. However, even though she was with Pingting all day long, Qi Chuo was mentally prepared. After seeing Xuedai's true face, Qing Xuedai still couldn't help being dazed for a moment, and the maid who was not as experienced and determined as Qi Chuo lost her composure when she saw Xuedai.

Fortunately, Ran Heng is not a monarch who is too restrictive about details. When she walked to the main gate of the garden, she saw all the maids staring blankly at Xue Dai and forgot to salute and greet her. It's not that I am acting stupid in front of her alone... It's all human nature, human nature.

However, Xue Dai, who has not yet correctly realized the lethality of her appearance, found that the strangers around her were staring at her, and thought that she had something indiscreet, so she quickly hid behind Ran Heng while clutching her robe.

However, Ranheng held Xuedai's shoulder sideways, pushed her to him, bowed and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, they just think you are pretty."

After hearing this, Xue Dai raised her head and glanced at Ran Heng who was full of smiles, and looked around again. The maid who woke up suddenly and rushed to pay her respects first felt relieved, and asked softly, pulling at the corner of Ran Heng's sleeve: "...then you What?" Do you think I'm pretty too?

Ranheng didn't think too much, and when she withdrew her hands to let the maid excuse her, she replied, "No one should think you are not beautiful." Even my relative didn't dare to look you in the eyes and speak.

"I see…"

Xue Dai's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she didn't know what she was thinking about.

Entering the garden, bypassing the screen wall, you can see the main hall of "Meeting Happiness" and "Beautiful Heart Embroidery". In the hall, there are all kinds of exquisite silk and satin displayed, except for the bark of the sacred tree and the fur of strange animals. In addition to the rare and precious cloth made from the four holy trees, there are also rare treasures made from the leaves of the four holy trees.

There is a side door in the east and west of the main hall, and the two side doors are connected to a veranda. When you walk to the end of the two zigzag corridors that run through the north and the south, you will arrive at the four flower halls for distinguished guests to tailor their clothes, rest and enjoy the scenery——'Gepu Lianjin' 'Candle Shadow Shaking Red', 'Moonlight Pear Blossom', 'Jade Wintersweet Branch'.

Guests coming from Qingyang should go to Gepulian near the northeast of the main hall, so after introducing the types of fabrics to Xuedai and letting Xuedai choose the fabric she likes, Qi Chuo led Xuedai and Ranheng into the room. East side corridor.

The scenery along the way is beautiful, the garden is full of flowers and butterflies, and the mountains and waters make Ranheng, who is also here for the first time, have an illusion of being in Liangyi Garden.

After passing through the northeast veranda, and then stepping over a four-purlin corridor-covered vertical flower door, you enter the flower hall named "Gepu Lianjin".

As soon as he entered, Ranheng saw a delicate pink plum tree and a pool of blooming green lotus.The lotus pond is connected to a mountain forest, and there is a curtain of Luozhu mountain stream hanging in the mountain forest. Dye Heng, who has the beast blood deed in her right eye, has excellent eyesight, so she can see the mountain stream hidden on the other side through the gurgling stream at a glance. One of the water pavilions.

This hidden water pavilion is the place where Qi Chuo will tailor Xuedai's clothes. Although they are both female Kun, Yang Kun and Yin Kun are still different, so Ranheng can't follow them to the other side.

Ran Heng sat in the gazebo by the pool, watching Qi Chuo and Xue Dai ride slowly into the mountain stream on the lotus leaves, and then took the fragrant lotus tea brought by the accompanying maid beside him, savoring the pink and green tea outside the pavilion carefully. scene.

Although the green lotus in the pond was fragrant, what attracted Ran Heng's attention the most was the flourishing pink plum tree outside the pavilion, because she faintly felt that this pink plum tree contained a pure aura.

——I don’t know whether this plum tree has become a spirit, or which plum leaf or plum blossom has become a spirit.

The pink and plum trees all have similar shapes and auras, and it is difficult to distinguish where the aura comes from, but Ran Heng, who only had the power to hold a tree yesterday, is more real - she checked the aura of each plum branch one by one , vowing not to give up until the spiritual creature is found out.

Once Ranheng was concentrating, she would ignore the location and time. If the maid beside her hadn't reminded her, she would not have realized that Xue Dai had turned back: "Your Majesty, His Highness Xue Dai is back."

Hearing this, he turned his head and looked at the other side, and then saw a water green figure standing on a lotus leaf, coming from the dense stream in the distance.

The visitor wears her hair in a bun with her hair in a bun, her feet on brocade embroidered shoes, she wears a Ruyi light blouse on top, and a lotus fairy dress on her bottom. The heavenly fragrance and national color are paired with the clear and turbid hair with tassel silk hairpins, supporting the bamboo bones. The slender white jade hands of the silk butterfly umbrella are swaying picturesquely, with a fairy posture-it is Xue Dai who has changed her makeup.

Wherever Xuedai went, Lianhe scrambled to avoid it. Although she knew that Qi Chuo behind Xuedai controlled Chishui, Ranheng still subconsciously thought that it was Manchi's tenderness who was ashamed of herself.

Ranheng's gaze followed Xuedai all the time, she had already forgotten what she was busy with before, she even stepped out of the gazebo and stood on the steps by the pool facing Xuedai.

"—Ranheng, are you here to pick me up?"

Seeing Ran Heng appearing, Xue Dai suddenly smiled and waved her hands cheerfully, without any elegant and refined temperament, but added a radiant demeanor.

Ranheng who heard Xuedai's shout did not reply, she trembled all over, as if she had just woken up, but she was not regretting her loss of composure again, but was startled by the crisp sound that suddenly sounded in her head.

"—Hey, can you take me off and put it in her hair?"

Ran Heng suddenly turned his head, and saw that among the same pink plum trees that were all the same just now, there was one that was shining with golden light.
