tea bell

At sunset, at the foot of the western mountain, where the mountain top meets the sky, the clouds are dyed into a rosy color, and an egret goes from east to west.

The sun reflected the earth in an orange-yellow color, and on the Biyang River, the sky, the clouds, and a woman in white lying on the big rock by the river were printed like a canvas.

The woman is closing her eyes, with her long eyelashes covering a small part of her cheeks. There is a cup of tea in her hand, the teacup is steaming, and she is holding a pole in her hand, which hangs long to the surface of the water, and a string is tied on the other side.

fishing.

I don't know if the woman fell asleep or not, the sunlight gradually disappeared, the colorful clouds faded, and the sky became dark, but she didn't move at all.

The fishing rod is also very weak in the hand, only the little finger and the big finger are holding it together, as if the rod will fall to the ground with a light touch.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the last ray of heat from the tea around the woman faded away, and the woman slowly opened her eyes.

The fishing rod was held in her hand again, and then she stretched her waist and inserted the rod into the crevice of the stone beside her.

She glanced at the river, but there was no movement, and then leisurely picked up the tea at the side.

Holding the teacup in her hands, she sat up while leaning on the stone, and was about to drink the tea when she heard a small sound.

The woman frowned, stretched her hand back, suddenly there was a faint light around her, and the woman in white twitched suddenly.

Gradually, she pulled a hand casually, and pulled down a black bird from behind.

The bird was surrounded by the woman, struggled twice, spread its wings and fluttered, knocked the tea in the woman's hand to the ground, hit a stone again, and finally fell to the ground.

The woman frowned even tighter, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the bird fell to the ground, rolled half a circle, and took the shape of a human.

The woman's technique has not been retracted yet, the light surrounds the woman in black, illuminating her frightened face.

One raised his eyes and the other lowered them, just looking at each other like this, a thin light shone like a lamp between them.

The surroundings became quiet, and the woman in white held her hands in the air with empty hands, as if the teacup was still there. After a while, the woman in black on the ground, the fright she had just received faded a lot, and her face calmed down.

When the dim light faded away, the two still looked at each other, separated by the night, surrounded by the rising moonlight.

"Talk about Yin Yin."

It took a long time for the woman in white to speak, breaking the silence.

The woman sitting on the ground was dazed when she heard this sentence. She opened her eyes and saw the word "raccoon" on the forehead of the woman in white.

After watching for a while and thinking for a while, the woman in Xuanyi closed her eyes and asked respectfully, "Elder?"

The elder nodded as a response, and then asked, "Are you the eldest daughter of the Bird Emperor of the Xuanniao clan?"

Chat Yin Yin nodded: "Yes."

After chatting and saying this, she got up. She glanced at the elder's fishing rod, then at the calm river, and finally set her eyes on the broken teacup on the ground.

She strode over and bent over to pick it up, but was interrupted by a stone thrown by the elder.

Yin Yin paused and stood aside.

Now the elder was leaning against the stone again, she glanced at the broken cup on the ground, then raised her eyes to Yin Yin, and said leisurely: "I'm fishing here well, what do you mean by disturbing my interest by doing this? "

Yin Yin paused again, then bowed her head and said, "I didn't intend to disturb you, elder forgive me."

The elder smiled and said word by word, "If I don't forgive you?"

Yin Yin raised her eyes, met the eyes of the person in front of her, and said for a while, "What does the elder want?"

The elder sighed: "I came here with only a pot and a cup. I just took a rest. The tea was still hot, so I waited for a while. I haven't drunk it yet. You broke it."

"Yin Yin." The elder suddenly called out softly, one leg was naturally bent and placed on the stone, she touched the teapot: "I'm thirsty."

Yin Yin frowned slightly, and looked left and right.

This mountain is located in a cool place, with many mountains and few trees. At this moment, there is only this Biyang River around, and there are no utensils that can hold tea around.

Yin Yin was in a bit of trouble.

Seeing this, the elder smiled inwardly, but still had a serious look on his face, and said, "I've been sitting for several hours, but I haven't caught a single fish. I heard that the fish in this river are very delicious." She picked up the pole in hand, Pass it over: "Well, if you help me catch a fish, I will forgive you."

Yin Yin heard this and nodded without hesitation: "Okay."

She took the fishing rod and saw that the elder made room for her, so she went to sit down.

Because most of the stone was occupied, the elder stopped lying down now, and sat beside Yin Yin with his legs curled up.

The fish in this river are notoriously delicious, and the elder knows it. The fish in this river are notoriously difficult to catch, and the elder knows it too.

The elder knew it, and naturally, Yin Yin knew it too.

Not long after, the sky was completely dark, and the two women, one black and one white, were sitting by the river. From the beginning of the hour, the moon was high, and the insects in the mountains gradually began to clamor.

More than half an hour passed, but there was still no movement in the river.

After a while, the elder changed to a comfortable seat and continued to sit. She slowly asked, "How old is Yin Yin this year?"

Yin Yin replied: "Twenty-eight hundred years old."

The elder asked again: "Is it exactly [-] years old?"

Yin Yin nodded: "My birthday just passed last month."

The elder raised his eyebrows, nodded and said with a smile: "It's such a coincidence, I happen to be [-] years old this year, and I'm a thousand years older than you."

Seeing that Yin Yin didn't reply, the elder said again: "I have heard in recent years that His Royal Highness of the Bird Clan is very good at drawing and playing piano, I have always wanted to go and see." She smiled: "Unexpectedly, today you Delivered to the door."

The elder spoke lightly, his tone was normal, but his words were full of ridicule.

Yin Yin heard this and looked at the river.

Before her father was [-] years old, she was forced to draw a mountain bird picture to celebrate his birthday, and then she played a song for her father at his father's birthday banquet, and her reputation gradually spread.

In the past few years, people often said such things to her, and people often traveled thousands of miles to see her. At first, she was still a little uncomfortable, but as time passed, she calmed down a lot.

Hearing what the elder said today, she suddenly felt a little funny.

"Good painting skills, good piano skills, there are many monster clans, but I am the Grand Highness of Youdu. With this title, others will naturally pay more attention to me."

The elder smiled: "Is it because you are explaining this way that you are afraid that I will let you paint for me now?"

Yin Yin laughed: "I am willing to paint for the elders, but I don't have pens and inks here, so I don't think I can."

The elder said again: "What if I insist?"

Yin Yin is polite: "If the elder wants it, I will draw a picture for the elder when I go back today..."

"Okay." The elder interrupted, sighing in his heart: "I won't embarrass you anymore."

Looking at the calm river, she said leisurely again: "Humble and polite, you treat me like a stranger."

"Naturally." The elder leaned back and explained to himself, "It's the first time we meet, we are naturally strangers."

Yin Yin was polite again: "An elder is an elder, Fuze Yaozu land, I'm just an ordinary person of the bird clan emperor lineage, so it's close to being a stranger."

The elder leaned back.

This is too polite.

Elder: "You said that I am blessed with the land, but you bird clan seem to dislike me very much."

Yin Yin pursed her lips.

The Bird Emperor is rampant. Except for the worship once every 500 years, he hardly participates in any major discussions related to the four major clans. When the elder is a thousand years old, he will come to see the elder. Later, gradually, he only sends someone to say hello. , and later, no one was sent at all.

The Bird Emperor has always been at odds with the other three clans, relying on the vast resources of his Youdu, no one can look down on him.

Yin Yin thought for a while after hearing this, and then said: "Father, he really didn't do well."

The elder shook his head, not paying much attention to it.

After a while, the elder felt thirsty, turned around, picked up the teapot behind him, and took a big sip from the spout.

Yin Yin noticed a movement behind her, turned her head to look, and saw the elder put down the teapot.

The elder picked up the teapot again: "Would you like it?"

Yin Yin shook her head: "Not thirsty."

The elder sighed: "If the cup was not broken just now, I can pour you a cup of tea now."

Yin Yin didn't speak.

The elder put down the teapot and asked again: "Why are you here today? And why is it so easy to show your real body at [-] years old?"

Yin Yin replied: "My mother is sick, and she hasn't recovered after a long time of illness. I heard that there is yellow crocodile grass in this mountain, and that grass is good for my mother's health after being made into medicine."

The elder nodded, and repeated in his mouth: "Yellow crocodile grass."

The elder asked again, "Did you find it?"

Yin Yin shook her head: "I haven't found it yet."

The elder asked: "Then why did you change back to your real body?"

Yin Yin hummed, and continued: "Accidentally slipped and fell on the edge of the edge." Yin Yin paused for a moment, and then said: "After falling, I was worried about falling to the ground, so I wanted to change back to my real body and fly up , but unexpectedly the elder is here.”

After hearing this, the elder was puzzled: "Why do you want to change back to your real body? If you perform a spell, you will just stand there."

Yin Yin bowed her head and said, "I don't know how to perform spells."

The elder raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You don't know how to perform spells?"

Yin Yin: "No."

The elder frowned slightly: "Why? The Bird Emperor didn't teach you?"

Yin Yin shook her head: "Father doesn't teach, and he doesn't allow others to teach, and he doesn't let me read those related books. He only lets me learn painting, piano, and some bypasses."

The elder pouted: "Why? Why did the Bird Emperor treat you like this? You are her daughter."

Yin Yin was not disappointed after hearing this, and said calmly: "I heard that when I was young, my father asked someone to make a fortune for me." Yin Yin said and looked at the sky: "The divinatory image, when I was [-] years old, , will kill my father and seize the throne. So when I was young, my father was always on guard against me."

The elder was surprised when he heard this.

Another smile.

She raised her head and looked at the sky, and said softly: "It's ridiculous."

After a while, she repeated: "It's ridiculous."

She asked again: "But you are already [-] years old now, and he is still guarding against this?"

Yin Yin shook her head: "Father has long been wary of me, but he didn't allow me to study law and academics, and he doesn't allow it now."

The elder shook his head and sighed.

In this way, those just now can be explained.

Generally, after the age of [-], monsters of the imperial family will not easily see others in their real bodies. Once a monster reveals its real body, it is in the weakest state. Such appearances are generally only seen by the closest people.

Thinking of Yin Yin like this, the elder sighed again in his heart.

She has lived for nearly four thousand years, and has seen many monsters, people, and beasts, but it is the first time she has seen Yin Yin like this.

Such a beautiful girl was so pitiful when she was young, she didn't know how to perform spells.

In this way, the elder inevitably felt a little distressed.

"Then you are not afraid of going out of the secluded capital on weekdays?" the elder asked.

Yin Yin shook her head: "I don't go out of the mountain often, today is the first time I go down the mountain alone." She looked at the water and said, "Mother told me that there are many beasts down the mountain, if I'm not accompanied by others, please don't go down the mountain."

The elder nodded: "Indeed."

She thought of the mountain beasts she had fought, and those little monsters with evil intentions. If she touched them, she would be torn to pieces in just a moment.

The elder asked again: "Then you have been in Youdu for these two thousand and eight hundred years?"

Yin Yin nodded: "Yeah."

The elder felt pitiful again, after listening to Yin Yin's words, he calmed down, sat and waited for the fish in the river, his thoughts drifted away.

The two of them sat like this for a long time, Yue'er gradually came up, the elder waited and thought about it, and gradually, he felt a little sleepy.

"Yin Yin." She lazily leaned against the stone and said, "I don't think this fish can be caught today, why don't you come here to look for me tomorrow, and we'll catch it tomorrow."

After thinking for a moment, Yin Yin said, "I can pay the elder a new cup."

Hearing the refusal in Yin Yin's mouth, the elder curled his lips and said again: "If I can help you find that yellow eel grass, would you help me fish?"

Yin Yin's eyes light up slightly: "Really?"

The person sitting on the rock smiled, raised his eyebrows and said, "My elder, when have I ever lied to others?"

After she finished speaking, she jumped up, snatched the fishing rod from Yin Yin's hand, put it aside three times, and walked around behind Yin Yin, regardless of whether she agreed or not, hugged Yin Yin's waist and flew towards Youdu.

In just a moment, he arrived at the foot of Youdu Mountain.

The elder put Yin Yin down, and before Yin Yin could stand still, he opened his mouth and said, "I'll wait for you here at tomorrow's hour."

Yin Yin was about to speak, but she saw the elder spread her hands. Yin Yin lowered her head and saw two black feathers lying on her hands.

"My feather?" Yin Yin asked.

The elder nodded and smiled, then withdrew his hand and put the feather into his sleeve.

"You fell to the ground just now." She raised her eyes to meet Yin Yin's eyes: "I like it very much, so give it to me."

After speaking, she stepped forward and touched Yin Yin's head: "Little Yin Yin, see you tomorrow."
