Peach blossoms on the Kunlun pond

The yellow stream does not flow into the sea, and the vastness is heading towards Kunlun.Legend has it that in the south of the West Sea, on the shore of the quicksand, there is a majestic Kunlun Mountain.The shepherds at the foot of the mountain often look up at the towering mountain peak, but they dare not drive their cattle and sheep to eat the fat green grass on the hillside.They said that there lived many fairies in feather clothes and neon clothes on this mountain.When the weather is good, you may still see the immortals traveling through the mist in the mountains on a cloud car covered with sunset light.

In the depths of Kunlun Wonderland, there is a small mountain called Mount Putuo.Mount Putuo is not high among the Kunlun peaks, and if you look down from the clouds, you may even ignore its existence.But if the cloud head falls, you will find that there are never-ending springs flowing everywhere on Putuo Mountain.There are cold springs flowing down with ice ballast, hot springs with bubbling steam, and even fragrant springs with the smell of pine needles and rhododendrons flowing all the way, exuding a charming aroma.

On the hillside of Putuo Mountain, there is a bamboo forest. Inside the bamboo forest, there is a small pool of water. You can hear the sound of water ringing like broken jade through the bamboo forest.The water in this pool is very clear, and the shadows of the fish swimming in the water are very clear under the bright sunlight. Since they haven't seen anyone for a long time, they all wander lazily in the water in a daze.

Suddenly, a long white jade spoon stuck into the water, scaring the fishes away in a hurry.The jade ladle took the water, and was poured into a green jade bucket by the owner. Holding the jade bucket in his white palm, he looked at it for a moment, nodded in satisfaction, and turned to leave.

This woman was wearing a light yellow gown with narrow sleeves, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the embroidered belt around her waist was adorned with a few pearls the size of hazelnuts, dancing back and forth with her figure as she walked, very dazzling.Not long after returning to his residence, he poured the water from the jade bucket into the red gold sling that had been prepared earlier, and tapped the side of the sling with a jade spoon, and the mulberry firewood underneath ignited a flame by itself.The woman in the yellow shirt closed the lid, looked at the shadow of the sun, walked slowly to the desk, picked up the half-read bamboo slips, and read them casually.

Just as she was reading, the fire door opened lightly, and a woman in Tsing Yi walked in, wearing the same narrow-sleeved skirt, only a short light blue waist skirt was added around her waist, and a rattan basket was carried on her back, and there was faint sweat on her temples. Apparently a long way back.The woman entered the thatched hut, before putting down the rattan basket, she smiled and said, "Princess, why haven't you finished reading this book?"

The woman in the yellow shirt threw the bamboo slips and replied angrily, "I have told you several times, don't call me princess, call me sister! This is Mount Putuo, and I don't even bother to be Princess Laoshizi." The woman in the yellow shirt is Cun Xin, the daughter of Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, and has three elder brothers of the Dragon Prince, so she is called the Three Princesses in the Dragon Palace.Although she still looks like Pogua, she is more than [-] years old. Now she is practicing with the real person Cihang in Putuo Mountain. She does not learn Taoism, but only learns medicine.The one in green is Xiu Zhu, a clam girl who came from the West Sea with her attendant. This morning Cun Xin went to the cold pool in the bamboo forest to get water for decocting medicine, but Xiu Zhu went to the mountain to collect medicine early in the morning and did not return until now.

This Cun Xin is just in a daze with her peach cheeks in her hand. Master has been in retreat for three months, and she and Xiu Zhu are only told to keep an eye on the cold pool, so as not to pollute the pool water and delay the offering of medicine at the master's sutra lecture meeting, but they did not say when they will leave the seclusion .Although Cun Xin is a golden branch and jade leaf, she went to Kunlun to study art since she was a child, and lived in Mount Putuo longer than in Dragon Palace.Kunlun Wonderland is naturally beautiful, but after more than 200 years of wandering around, Cun Xin has covered everything. She really wants to follow Master to the world.

Master Cihang often goes down the mountain to practice medicine in nearby villages. When he comes back, he often brings some things from the human market to Cun Xin and Xiu Zhu, such as clay figurines, windmills, incense boxes, and small piles of clay. Fengluzi, the two girls couldn't put it down because they were so happy. They were so curious about the world that they wanted to visit it a long time ago.It's a pity that Cihang's words are very tight, saying that the two of them are not educated, and they are not even qualified to practice medicine, so they just refuse to take them with them.

Seeing that she was bored, Xiuzhu leaned over and said with a smile, "Grand...ah no, sister, did you hear the news from the day before yesterday?" "What news?" Bamboo leaned forward.Xiuzhu laughed "spittingly": "I heard Tianhua say that Uncle Yuding took in an apprentice the day before yesterday!"

"Apprentice!" Cun Xin almost jumped up from the bamboo chair, "Master Yuding? The cold-faced, bookish Uncle Yuding of Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain? He finally has an apprentice!"

Most of the Twelve Golden Immortals have disciples, and some are like Daoxing Tianzun, and even took in several of them.Those who have no apprentices, such as Master Huang Long, love to wander around the world. When they see any children, they will ask if they have apprentices. If they hear "no", they will be so happy that they will say "I am short of an apprentice".You can use Xiuzhu's words, "If you want to learn how to cook, it's good to follow Master Huang Long. How about learning Taoism, ha ha, ha ha." Therefore, he has never received an apprentice.

Only this Jade Cauldron real person is different from Huang Long, I haven't seen him a few times since Cun Xin went up the mountain for more than [-] years.I still remember the first time I went to Jinxia Cave, because Cun Xin didn't recognize the real person Yuding, Tete announced his name outside the cave, but he didn't expect no one to answer, but heard a loud rumbling sound, and immediately vacated a crowd inside the cave. A puff of smoke comes.Cun Xin was startled, could it be that Uncle Yuding was refining a magic weapon, and was frightened by himself, so he blew up the alchemy furnace?When he hurriedly went in to check, he saw that the real person had just crawled out of a pile of bamboo slips, with a disheveled face and was dusting off his clothes.It turned out that there was a book missing, and I was looking for it on the pile of bamboo slips just now, Cun Xin's application made a real person fall down in fright, almost to death.Cun Xin took a closer look and found that the Jinxia Cave was densely packed with bamboo slips and silk scrolls from the top to the ground.

As one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, this Jade Cauldron Reverend is not the most powerful, but has the weirdest temper. Sometimes, when the bell and chime of the Yuxu Palace rang to call for a big Dharma meeting, he would even dare to send a boy to say "retreat and study", avoiding it. He didn't see everyone, but Yuanshi Tianzun loved him the most and never cared about it, which made Guang Chengzi, the elder brother in charge, quite a headache.It's no wonder that the top and bottom of Chanjiao take this as news. Three generations of disciples often bet to see which one will be the first to pass on the mantle, the real Yuding who stays at home or the real Huanglong who accepts disciples everywhere. Come out on top.

Cun Xin took Xiu Zhu's hand and asked: "What does the apprentice that Uncle Yuding accepted look like?" She imagined the appearance of the real Yuding in her memory, and said with a smile: "Don't be like Uncle Yuding again. Isn't it a sloppy look? If so, Master Guangchengzi will sigh again, "There are no rules in the world, how can we become square?"

Xiu Zhu pursed his lips and smiled: "I only heard from Tianhua that he is a male apprentice, but I have never seen it in person. If you want to know, elder sister, just go and see for yourself."

Cun Xin lowered her hands in disappointment, walked to the stove to look at the medicinal soup in Jin Diaozi, and sighed: "I'm afraid I won't be free today, the medicine Master told me hasn't been boiled yet. Let's do it tomorrow, tomorrow." You must go to Yuquan Mountain to see who is the person who moved Master Yuding's heart like this. Master Huanglong searched for apprentices all over the world, but he didn't receive it, so Master Yuding took the lead!"

Cun Xin got up very early the next day, and pulled Xiu Zhu out of bed before dawn.Xiu Zhu rubbed his eyes and muttered: "Yesterday I picked the medicine for a day, my back hurts, why did I wake up so early?" Didn’t you say that Uncle Yuding accepted a new apprentice yesterday? Let’s take this “Strange Record” and just say that there is a paragraph that I don’t understand. Call out the new apprentice and let us know."

When Xiuzhu heard this, he fell straight backwards, picked up the quilt to cover his face, and said sullenly: "Sister, go by yourself, I don't want to meet such a precious apprentice. With this skill, I might as well see Nuwa again Where's your empress?" After saying that, no matter how much Ren Cun Xin shakes her, he refuses to get up.

Cun Xin stomped her feet, sleeved the bamboo slips, left the thatched cottage, and headed straight for Yuquan Mountain.Unexpectedly, at the entrance of Jinxia Cave, a group of urchins had long been guarding the fence and looking inside.Headed by the two Taoist chiefs, they wore identical crimson brocade round-neck shirts, and both wore a phoenix crown human-shaped jade pendant around their waists, but one was taller and the other was short, and their statures were different.Cun Xin knew at the first sight that these were the two princes of Emperor Xin, His Majesty of the Shang Dynasty, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong.

These two younger brothers are very famous in Kunlun, not because of their superb Taoism skills, but because of their stubborn nature, relying on their status as princes, they lead a group of followers to make troubles everywhere every day.The last time I tricked the honest boy Wei Hu's subduing magic pestle into smashing walnuts, I hated Daoxing Tianzun's teeth, but it was hindering their masters. The second senior brother, Chi Jingzi, who wanted to kick three feet when he saw a stone, didn't say anything after all.I only heard that there was an earthquake in Jinting Mountain the next day, and two beams in Yuwu Cave collapsed. If Wei Hu hadn't taken the subduing magic pestle to top it temporarily, Han Dulong and Xue Ehu would have slept on the top of the mountain.

Cun Xin stopped far away, unsure whether to knock on the door or not.Wherever this group of urchins are, every time something happens, the master is now retreating. If there is any trouble, no one will explain it to him.While hesitating, I only heard the group of children commotion, you poked me, I poked you, and they all said "come out, come out".When Cun Xin looked, he saw a tall and thin boy in brown clothes coming out the door with a bucket on his shoulders. He looked up and saw the group of people outside the fence. He didn't know what to do for a moment, he was startled for a moment, and without speaking, he opened the firewood door. Go down the mountain.

The leader, Yin Jiao, gave him a wink, and his younger brother Yin Hong understood, stepped forward and said, "You are the new apprentice of Master Yuding, right? I heard..." He smiled maliciously, "You Is your surname Yang?" Before the words finished, the urchins started giggling.The young man didn't lift his head, and walked forward on his own.Yin Hong patted him on the back and said with a smile: "Uncle Pu Xian visited my master yesterday, I heard from him that you are the son of Fairy Yao Ji? Hey, don't go!" Yin Jiao, who was following behind, made a gesture, and a group of urchins immediately understood and stepped forward to surround the boy.The boy couldn't move, so he had to stop and looked at everyone with a little anger.Yin Hong followed, cupped his fists respectfully and saluted, and said solemnly: "My master once had a relationship with Fairy Yaoji, saying that she is a rare beauty in the three realms, she is beautiful, graceful, dignified and dignified It's very respectable." He suddenly put away his jokes and looked serious, not only the young man was stunned, but even Cun Xin who was hidden in the woods was surprised, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

"Who knows, we haven't seen each other for decades." Yin Hong compared his two fingers, made a gesture in pairs, and said with a smile, "She's actually married, and she's a mortal!" He was overjoyed, Pulling over a shorter boy next to him, he put his arms around his shoulders and made a gesture of kissing him, then turned his head and said: "I think your father has something special that makes your mother so obsessed. The owner of the house didn’t do it anymore, so what’s that called?—The long skirt makes me laugh, and I wash my hands to make soup!” A group of urchins suddenly burst into laughter.

The boy's fair face was flushed red, and his bony hands were tightly holding the pole, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.Yin Hong still felt that it was not enough, so he leaned forward, lifted the young man's chin with his fingers, looked at him carefully and said, "You look good-looking, but it's a pity that you are a man." He looked around, with playful smile lines on his mouth: "If I put on a skirt, I want to marry you as my princess!" The urchins laughed and knocked down, and one of them couldn't sit still and fell off the stone, which made everyone laugh out loud.

Cun Xin couldn't bear it any longer, and was about to show up to disperse the group of children, when suddenly he saw the young man put down the shoulder pole and slowly picked up a wooden bucket. Putting the bucket on top of Yin Hong's head, he picked up a pole and hit him around the waist. The one who hit Yin Hong bent over and screamed in pain.Outside the crowd, Yin Jiao, who was sitting on a high place watching a play, saw his younger brother being beaten, and immediately became furious. He picked up a stone and threw it at the boy, shouting, "Hit him!" A group of urchins rushed forward, Wrap the boy in the core and immediately knock him down to the ground.

Cun Xin didn't care too much, she jumped out of the forest and shouted loudly: "Stop!" Everyone was fighting, there was no time to pay attention to her.Cun Xin hurriedly ran over, pushed Yin Jiao and scolded: "Tell them to stop!" Yin Jiao glanced at Cun Xin and said, "Who am I? It turns out to be the little dragon from Xihai." He knocked Cun Xin's hand off, He said again: "If he hits my younger brother, I'll beat him. Get out of the way and call again, and I'll hit you too!"

Cun Xin showed no fear, and replied angrily: "Don't forget, this is Yuquan Mountain, not your Taoyuan Cave. When Master Yuding comes out and sees you bullying his apprentice, he will file a complaint with Master Guangchengzi. You must have a good meal." Yin Jiao thought for a while, his master was not like his second brother's master who protected his weaknesses, Guang Chengzi was rigid and serious, if he knew that his apprentice was messing around behind his back, he would definitely not let him go lightly.He took another look at Cun Xin, and he said to his heart that this dragon girl in front of her is not an easy-going lamp. Although she doesn't have very advanced magic skills, she often heals the wounds and illnesses of her brothers and sisters, and she is quite popular.Immediately, he frowned, shouted away all the urchins, stepped forward to see the boy who fell on the ground, made sure that he was fine, patted the angry Yin Hong and said: "Go!" Then he led everyone away.
