Legend of Xianghuang

Because of the servant's instructions in advance, Xianghuang couldn't walk around at will, so he just looked around in the West Garden.

It was the garden on the east side that had a lot of evil spirits the night before, and there were only a few Taoist talismans in his hand, so of course Xianghuang was not easy to use indiscriminately.

Xianghuang also looked at the north gate mentioned by the boy before.

The door is open, and you can see the tall and straight green bamboo and bluestone path inside, which looks very quiet.

Xianghuang liked bamboo since he was a child. Seeing the scenery, he loves the house and the crow, and he likes Miss Jia's family even more.

It's a pity that it's the young lady's garden, she can't go in and out without authorization.

After looking at the flower and tree pavilion in Xiyuan, Xianghuang went back to the house, except that he was annoyed that he couldn't immediately distinguish the difference with his cultivation, and continued his daily talisman homework.

After finishing washing up as usual, Xianghuang let out a heavy breath, and just put away the newly drawn Taoist talisman when he heard a knock on the door.

It's not good to keep people waiting, Xiang Huang trotted to open the door, saw someone coming and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaotao."

Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, looked at Xianghuang and said with a smile, "Yo, you have a sweet mouth."

On the contrary, Xianghuang was a little puzzled: "Isn't sister Xiaotao older than me?" Isn't it normal to call me sister?

Xiaotao was amused by Xianghuang's natural appearance, but she also liked this silly little Daoist boy, and said with a smile in a blink of an eye, "Then... my lady is also older than you, what do you want to be called?"

Miss Jia?The person he saw at the gate before appeared in Xianghuang's mind, he opened his mouth but was a little at a loss, and whispered softly, "Sister Jia...Miss Jia."

In the end, Xiaotao answered, although the tone seemed to be somewhat inexplicably dissatisfied.That Miss Jia is so beautiful and kind. Xianghuang practiced with his master all by himself since he was a child, so it was inevitable that he felt close to her.

Xiaotao is very shrewd, she can't see Xianghuang's little temper towards herself, she covered her mouth and smiled for a while, then patted Xianghuang on the shoulder: "Xiao Daotong, Miss is very nice, you can try it Ask yourself what to call it."

It sounded like a good suggestion, Xianghuang nodded repeatedly, but didn't see the interest in Xiaotao's eyes: "Sister Xiaotao, you are also a good person!"

Looking at Xiang Huang's flushed face, Xiao Tao suddenly felt a little guilty.But...the lady shouldn't be angry, right?

"Sister Xiaotao, sister Xiaotao?" Xianghuang realized that Xiaotao had lost her mind for some reason, and stretched out his hand to wave back and forth in front of her eyes.

Xiaotao came back to her senses and said "ah": "Oh, yes, the lady asked me to see how you live, whether you are used to it, and whether you are missing anything." As she said that, her eyes turned to Xianghuang's room.

Xianghuang shook his head: "No, it's very comfortable here."

Xiaotao looked at Xianghuang, and suddenly clapped her hands: "Well, come with me to see Miss, and talk about it yourself." Before she finished speaking, she went to the north gate.

Xianghuang was a little hesitant. After all, it was the garden where the young lady lived, and she was an outsider.

"What are you thinking again, come here quickly, Miss is still waiting for my reply." Xiao Tao's dissatisfied voice came.

"Oh." Xianghuang answered hastily, but still followed.

Through the cascading bamboo forest, Xiang Huang couldn't help looking around while walking.The bamboo swayed gently in the wind, and the rustling sound was soothing.

Walking out of the bamboo grove, Xianghuang's eyes lit up, a small but exquisite attic, a small clear pond, and a person standing gracefully beside the pond.

With the picturesque scenery, Xianghuang stopped in his tracks, for fear of disturbing himself.

It's a pity that Xiaotao didn't understand Xianghuang's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Miss, I brought Xiaodaotong here."

The person by the pond turned his head, his eyes fell on Xianghuang, and after a moment of surprise, he smiled slightly: "Then please come here."

When he approached the pond, Xiang Huang knew what Miss Jia was doing.

On the surface of the water, a group of colorful koi fish were clearly competing for food.

Although there are koi on Canglu Mountain, even the koi on it have the heart of Dao, so they don't jump like the koi here just for a little bait.

For a while, Xianghuang was fascinated by them, his eyes were bright and it was very interesting.

"Xiao Daoist, are you used to living in Xiyuan?" Suddenly, Miss Jia's voice sounded beside her, and Xianghuang was startled.

The koi on the surface of the water were scared away by Xianghuang who almost jumped up suddenly, leaving only the figures of Xianghuang and Miss Jia.

Ms. Jia was also taken aback by Xianghuang's surprise, but then she couldn't help but chuckled because of Xianghuang's embarrassment after reacting.

When she smiled, Xianghuang felt even more embarrassed, and Bai Nen's face turned red.

"That... It's a good and comfortable place to live!" Finally, she answered, hoping to divert her attention.

"That's good." Miss Jia didn't smile for a long time, and nodded slightly, "I don't know what the name of the Taoist leader is?"

Only then did Xiang Huang remember, as if he hadn't mentioned his name the previous two times, he hurriedly replied, "My name is Xiang Huang."

"Xianghuang?" Miss Jia was a little surprised, it didn't seem like the name of a cultivator, "I don't know which two words?"

Xianghuang smiled and said: "It's all related to bamboo. Master said, I picked it up from the bamboo forest, so I named it Xianghuang."

Miss Jia nodded, "I see, Daoist Xianghuang."

She yelled in a serious manner. Xiang Huang had never been yelled so formally before, and it always felt a little weird.

Xiaotao was the one who reacted the most. She covered her stomach and laughed, and said intermittently after a while: "Miss, haha, this talent is only so big, hahaha, shouting, how strange!"

After being told by Xiaotao, Miss Jia also turned her head and looked at Xianghuang again.

Indeed, Xianghuang is not tall, only reaching her chest, even Xiaotao is taller than her.Standing alone from a distance, perhaps because of her figure and clothing, it will not be so obvious.But now standing on the side, it is really clear at a glance.

Xianghuang was told by Xiaotao that she was short, but it was still the truth, and she blushed for a while: "What's wrong with being short, it only takes two years for me to be as tall as Miss Jia."

As soon as these words came out, Xiaotao paused for a moment, looked her up and down seriously, and smiled more exaggeratedly.

Xianghuang had no choice but to stare at Xiaotao who was leaning back and forth.

Until Ms. Jia's voice came with a smile: "How about calling you little bamboo?" Xiang Huang looked at Ms. Jia in surprise, only to see her laughing at Yan Yan, "The Taoist priest is indeed old, but Xianghuang Daotong is awkward and unfamiliar."

Small bamboo?This name is novel, and Xiang Huang likes it too.It's just that she never expected that Miss Jia would suddenly use such an intimate nickname. It felt like a person who was originally a banished fairy suddenly came close, which was unexpected and exciting.

In fact, Ms. Jia is not something that can only be seen from a distance?Xianghuang looked at the smiling person in front of him, and the fear born of the previous admiration disappeared.

"Well, listen to Miss Jia." Xianghuang nodded vigorously.

Seeing Xianghuang's promise, Miss Jia was also happy, and took a step closer with a smile: "The little girl's name is Wanwan, and Xiao Zhuzi doesn't need to call me 'Miss Jia' in every mouthful from now on, just call me Wanwan."

After a slight pause, Xianghuang nodded, "Okay, Wanwan."

"Miss, it's not good." Xiaotao couldn't laugh anymore, and looked at it seriously, "Master and Madam know it, and they will definitely not allow it."

Of course what Xiaotao said is correct, Xianghuang is just a young Taoist priest, and he is young, so it is somewhat unreasonable to call a wealthy businessman by her boudoir name.

After listening to the words, Wanwan thought for a while and said simply: "Then when there are other people around, just add the word 'Miss'."

Seeing that her young lady insisted, Xiao Tao had no choice but to look at Xianghuang: "Hey, don't forget."

"No." Xiang Huang replied immediately.

Wanwan chuckled, thinking of the height mentioned earlier, she took a step back and looked at her: "Little Zhuzi, how old are you this year?"

Xiang Huang puffed up her chest: "I'm thirteen this year." She wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by an unexpected voice.

For a while, Xianghuang blushed again, and even spread to her neck, and Wanwan's eyes changed from the initial astonishment to a smile, looked at Xianghuang's stomach, and turned to Xiaotao: "Xiaotao, go get some Pastry, let the kitchen deliver the food of Daoist Xianghuang here."

The special mention of "Xianghuang Daoist" here naturally refers to the words used when speaking to the servants, and it can be regarded as helping Xianghuang, lest she be young and dull, and be despised by others.

"Yes, Miss." Xiaotao responded, turned around and ran out of the garden.

Wanwan pointed to the pavilion at the other end and looked at Xianghuang: "Little Zhuzi, let's go and sit there, I want to hear what you said about evil spirits earlier."

"Okay." Xiang Huang nodded immediately, and his expression became serious.

Thinking about the boy's attitude before, Xianghuang also knew that if he wanted to go to the garden to investigate properly, he might have to rely on Wanwan.

Seeing Xianghuang nodding, Wanwan smiled: "Don't be too nervous, there really hasn't been anything weird happening at home now, and I think the evil spirit hasn't caused any trouble, I believe you can solve it."

"Yeah!" Xianghuang was happiest when she got affirmation. She raised her head and looked at Wanwan, "Wanwan, don't worry, I will get rid of the source of evil spirit no matter what."

Hearing Xianghuang's crisp voice calling "Wanwan", Wanwan who was walking on Xianghuang's side paused imperceptibly, looked down at Xianghuang who was walking happily, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she stopped talking.

The two sat down in the pavilion and briefly talked about what they knew.

It was only then that Xianghuang realized that Wanwan had just come back from the Cangxia Temple, forty miles away, when she met outside the town.She would go there every month to discuss and pray with the female priests and stay there for two days.

"If you have to say it, I'm afraid it's only the second brother's emergency." After talking for a while, Wan Wan sighed.

Xiang Huang concentrated, this should be the one that Xiao Tao accidentally mentioned before, right?

"Did the second young master have an emergency today?" Xianghuang immediately asked, "Does Wanwan know what the symptoms are? How is the current situation?"

Wanwan looked at Xianghuang with a pair of phoenix eyes, and saw that her eyes were genuinely worried and searching, so she didn't get annoyed by her eagerness: "My father ordered someone to invite the famous doctor on the west side of the town, I think there should be results. When Xiaotao comes back, I will ask her to go to Dongyuan to ask."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

Before Wanwan finished speaking, Xiaotao hurried back, much faster than before: "Miss, something happened!"

The two people in the pavilion immediately stood up and walked out of the pavilion, Wan Wan frowned slightly: "What happened?"

Xiaotao ran up to the two of them, leaned on her knees and panted for a while, then said, "Old locust tree, old locust tree...a lot of bugs and birds...are dead..."
