Zong Qiongyao's Haoxiang

Kunlun Mountains

Yong Xing was surprised to see a white cloud passing by, and couldn't help stretching out his clumsy hand because of his bloated clothes to grab it. Naturally, he didn't catch anything, but scattered the cloud and drifted away along the airflow. .

In a world of ice and snow, Haoxiang was only wearing a thin shirt, but he was not affected by the cold outside at all. He took his other hand leisurely and said with a smile, "It's not cold anymore,"

It was very interesting to see him wrapping himself into a cotton ball before, but now that he is inconvenient because of this, the smile on Haoxiang's face can't help but become more obvious.

"Cold~" Yong Xing had already forgotten about Leng, but after being reminded by him, he remembered that he was in the middle of a snow mountain, and suddenly shivered and shivered.

"Hahaha..." Haoxiang was amused by the boy's actions, but after laughing for a while, seeing that he was really cold, he leaned closer and asked him, "Do you want me to keep you warm?"

"No!" Yong Xin immediately refused sternly, if he agreed to keep him warm, he didn't know how he would play tricks.He foolishly agreed yesterday in the inn, but the beast stripped him of all his clothes.

Seeing that he didn't deceive him this time, Haoxiang shook his head regretfully.Although Yong Xing refused, he still held hands and sent some fire energy to the young man to keep him warm.

Then Haoxiang looked up the mountain, and he could already see the peak of the mountain, so he turned his head and said to Yongxin: "Let's go, let's go to the top of the mountain."

Kunlun Mountain is covered with snow all the year round, and above the top of the mountain is a snow world wrapped in silver. The pure white snow reflects the blue sky above the head, making the sky and the earth one color, and it is hard to tell which is the sky and which is the earth.Only occasionally when a gust of wind blows and raises the white snow on the ground, do I realize that I am actually in the world.

"It's so beautiful!" Yong Xin couldn't help exclaiming as he looked at the magnificent and magnificent scenery in front of him.

Hao Xiang wrapped his arms around his waist and used his own body to keep him warm.

The boy's waist is very thin, no matter how many clothes he wears, Hao Xiang can easily hold him in his arms, put his chin on his shoulder, and sigh in satisfaction.

"If you like, we can stay here longer."

"Yeah, I like it!" Although Yong Xin is afraid of the cold, if he can see such a beautiful scenery every day, it doesn't matter if it is a little colder.

Although the scenery is good, Haoxiang didn't bring him here just to see the scenery.

Kunlun Mountain, also known as Kunlun Xu, has the fairy names of "the first sacred mountain" and "the ancestor of ten thousand mountains" since ancient times.The exceptionally abundant aura on Kunlun Mountain just shows that it is definitely not a place for nothing.

In addition to the slow progress of Yongzheng's cultivation base, he was unable to practice quietly because of the many miscellaneous things on weekdays, and the lack of aura in the capital was also a reason.Therefore, Haoxiang took this opportunity to take him to Kunlun Mountain to retreat for a while.

Since the fifth elder brother was imprisoned, the emperor's temperament has become increasingly gloomy and tyrannical, and he often kills the palace people around him. If the palace people accidentally offend the emperor, they will be severely punished, even the concubine. Inevitably.

Although Yongzheng was awarded the title of Baylor for his contribution to the suppression of the chaos, the emperor turned his anger on Yongzheng because of the matter of the fifth elder brother, and repeatedly reprimanded him for trivial matters.This also made the queen worry all day long, fearing that one day the emperor would not like him and would send him to beekeeping.

Therefore, as soon as Hao Xiang mentioned that he wanted to take Yong Zhen out to retreat, the queen agreed. Now that the situation in the palace is secretive, it would be a good way to avoid it.

Haoxiang also asked the Queen Mother for instructions, and the Queen Mother knew that he wanted to keep Twelve, so she didn't keep him, and only asked him to take care of Twelve.Since the day the emperor was injured, the empress dowager passed out and fell ill after waking up. Even though Haoxiang tried his best to treat her, the empress dowager's body was old and unable to turn like a machine that had been running for many years.

In recent years, Haoxiang has received a lot of care from the Queen Mother.The old man treats him like an ordinary nephew, seeing her body deteriorating day by day, Haoxiang feels very sad, but it is irreparable, he can only do his best to nurse her body, hoping to prolong the life of the queen mother for a year or two.

Hao Xiang stayed in the side hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace for half a month, observing the Empress Dowager's body every day, studying the prescriptions for her recovery.Until the queen mother's condition stabilized, the two left the palace in the name of traveling.

Haoxiang succeeded in building the foundation in Kunlun at one stroke, and he deeply felt that this place is indeed a treasured place for cultivation, so Haoxiang chose here as the first stop for the two of them to travel.

Before the red sun set in the west, Haoxiang took Yongzheng to the cave where he lived when he built the foundation, and used it as their residence during this period of time.

There is a lot of space in the cave, and it doesn't look crowded when two people stand in it. There are flat stone walls on five sides in the cave, which were all widened and flattened by Haoxiang before.The cave is very dark, and the sun only shines in during the morning.Therefore, Haoxiang embedded a few luminous pearls on the wall of the cave as light bulbs for lighting.

Yong Xing just turned around in the cave when he saw Hao Xiang taking out tables, chairs, quilts, stove and other things from the ring as if by magic.But Yong Xing has long been accustomed to this, so he stepped forward to help him set up tables and chairs, make the bed, light the stove, boil water, and was extremely busy.

The stove was lit, and the cave became much warmer. Occasionally, when the night wind broke into the cave, Haoxiang hung the bamboo curtain engraved with the formation at the entrance of the cave, so that the cold wind would not blow in, and the cave would not be stuffy.

Seeing that the soft and comfortable quilt had already been spread on the bed, Yong Xin couldn't wait to take off the layers of padded jacket and flew up, buried himself in the quilt, and sighed happily, "It's so comfortable."

Haoxiang set up a small ceramic pot the size of a sea bowl on the stove, scooped up two handfuls of rice and water and put them into the small pot to boil.

Seeing that he had narrowed his eyes comfortably, Hao Xiang reminded with a smile: "Don't fall asleep, get up and eat porridge later."

Hearing what he said, Yong Xin wrapped herself in a quilt and sat on the side of the bed, watching him cook the porridge, lest she really fell asleep.

When the rice was half-cooked, Hao Xiang added some minced shiitake mushrooms and some chicken he got from somewhere, stirred it with a long spoon for a while, then covered the lid, and cooked the porridge over low heat.

In less than two quarters of an hour, a tempting fragrance wafted from the small pot. Yong Xin was hooked by the smell of porridge, and immediately lost all sleepiness, and his eyes were focused on the small pot.When Yong Xing stared at it until his eyes became sour, Haoxiang lifted the lid of the pot, sprinkled a pinch of fine salt and a handful of chopped shallots, stirred them evenly with a long spoon, and then turned off the stove.

He took two sets of bowls and chopsticks from the ring, first filled a bowl for the long-awaited boy Yongxin, and then filled a bowl for himself.

The shredded shredded chicken porridge with shiitake mushrooms in a white porcelain bowl, the rice grains are plump and crystal clear, with occasional black shiitake mushrooms floating in it, and the green shallots dotted the sticky porridge just right, making people salivate after seeing it.

Holding the hot bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other, Yong Xin happily ate the porridge before it cooled down.

"Eat slowly, be careful of the heat."

As soon as Haoxiang finished speaking, Yongzhen frowned, and said with a bitter face: "It's already burning."

Haoxiang sighed helplessly, found out the ointment for the burn, picked it up with his nails, and asked him, "Where is the burn?"

Yong Xin stuck out his scalded tongue and showed him, "Gerry (here)"

Seeing that the tip of his tongue was scorched red, Haoxiang laughed and teased him, "There is no need to apply medicine to this wound, I have a way to heal faster."

"What way?" Yongzheng asked curiously.

"Stick out your tongue, and I'll cure you."

Sure enough, the boy Yongxin believed it was true, and stuck out his tongue foolishly, only to be snatched away by the big bad wolf with one bite.

"Beasts"

Yong Xing was kissed for a long time before he could breathe fresh air, he couldn't help panting, his eyes were wet and he blamed the perpetrator.

"Hahaha, Yongzhen is so cute." The instigator laughed, not caring about the word 'beast' at all.

"..." The young man of Yongzhen glared at him angrily, decided to ignore him, picked up the porridge that was no longer hot, and started to eat it.

After eating and drinking enough, the two walked around the cave a few times to digest their food, then shook off the quilt and went to bed to rest.

Young Yongzheng didn't intend to forgive Haoxiang so soon, so he used a long pillow to separate the two of them under the quilt.It's just that he just fell asleep for a while, and the pillow was pushed away by him, and he got into Haoxiang's arms.

"What a little pig."

Haoxiang nodded to his straight nose, couldn't help but kissed him again, then hugged the young boy who kept pushing into his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

Outside the cave, the wind howled and the snowflakes fluttered, but inside the cave was as warm as spring. During this time, two people embraced each other happily and fell asleep.

On Kunlun Mountain, what the two of them usually do is to meditate and practice, or Haoxiang gives advice to Yongzheng. In their spare time, the two of them search around for the wonderful scenery. They are so happy that three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Yong Xin's Ruo Shui Jue has been promoted to the eighth level of Qi Refining, only one step away from establishing the foundation.And Haoxiang's cultivation has also improved a lot. He has been in the foundation building period for four years. In the past two months, due to the abundant aura in Kunlun Mountain, he has faint signs of breakthrough, and he is only one chance away from forming a golden elixir. up.

However, Haoxiang believes that greed cannot be chewed, and cultivation cannot be achieved overnight. Three months of practice are enough for Yongxi to digest for a while.So the two did not stay in Kunlun Mountain, but went down to the south of the mountain.

……

It was now June and it was midsummer.

As night falls, the dullness of the day is swept away on the Qinhuai River. There are row upon row of golden powder towers on the riverside; boats floating in the river, the sound of oars rippling, and the shadows of lights recombining form a dreamlike and unreal landscape.

Qinhuai River and Confucius Temple are connected by Wende Bridge.On one side are the gentlemen listening to the teachings of the master in the tribute courtyard, and on the other side are the beauties in the red tents in the attic. Because of the saying "a gentleman does not cross the bridge, but a bridge is not a gentleman", the painting boat of crossing the river for the talented and the beautiful is derived.

Haoxiang and Yongzhen don't need to be hypocrites to cross to the beauty town, but they also rent a painting boat to tour Qinhuai while they are happy.

"The Qinhuai River in the ten miles really deserves its reputation, but it's a pity that I can't see the eight beauties of the Qinhuai River that were famous all over the world in those days." Yong Yan sat in the painting boat, saw the flow of people on the river bank, and listened to the endless sound of silk and bamboo, and couldn't help feeling. .

Hearing his emotion, Haoxiang suddenly had an idea in his heart, stared at the boy opposite him with a half-smile and said, "Do you want to see Qinhuai Bayan?"

Yong Xin was a little terrified of being stared at by him, so he shook his head again and again, "I just felt it for a while, don't think about it."

"That's how it is. If you want to see her, I'll take you there. Although the talent and name can't be compared with the Qinhuai Bayan at that time, the appearance should not be much worse."

Haoxiang didn't wait for him to refuse after finishing speaking, so he ordered the boatman to dock.

The author has something to say:

La la la, two people can finally show their affection.
