Chapter 10 Chapter Ten Sleeping on Willows, Lotus Song Flying into Dream Soul

Unexpectedly, once in a while playing the flute and playing birds, all the members of the Four Seas Hall found another thing that could pass the time. What surprised Xingyan was that the girl Kou, who was always a little distracted, immediately lost her sleepiness when she practiced calligraphy with the pen, and her mind became extremely clear. Moreover, only when Xingyan plays the role of the tutor, Kou Xueyi will become natural when talking with his words.In other words, become normal. Speaking of which, on weekdays, Kou Xueyi, in her few words, was extremely respectful to Xingyan, just like a servant facing his master.It's just that such a very polite speech always made the Master of the Four Seas feel a little cold and indifferent.

Borrowing a bit of a youthful heart, Xing Yan, in order to prove this point, once imitated the lazy guy in the market in the past, deliberately focused his attention, just staring at Kou Xueyi's pink dimple—— It stands to reason that according to the normal reaction of a young girl in the world, under Xingyan's unscrupulous attention, Kou Xueyi's normal behavior should first be flushed, then bow her head, then pick up her clothes and be speechless, and then feel embarrassed—— If the skin was a little thinner, he would even stomp his feet lightly, say "rude" in a low voice, and then turn around and run away!

And according to Xing Yan's preconceived idea, under his rude staring, not to mention the young girl Ju Ying, even the savage princess Ling Yi'er in the Poyang Dragon Palace, if she was stared at by him in the past, she would be confident that she could do it. Let her be ashamed to the point of being speechless! It's a pity that none of the expected coyness in the daughter's family happened to Kou Xueyi! Looking at the results of this testimonial, it can only be said that this girl Kou, who has not been in the mountain for a long time, should not be freed from the pain of bereavement.

Because of this, Kou Xueyi's serious attitude towards reading and practicing calligraphy surprised the young man.It seems that Miss Kou is really eager to learn; this teaching of characters can temporarily drive away her pain of bereavement from her heart. Compared with Kou Xueyi, the playful and active little Qiongxi would not surprise the young man too much if he could calm down to listen to lectures and practice calligraphy.Because, judging from all the events in the past, Xingyan deeply felt that this little Qiongxi girl always had an extraordinary feeling of admiration for him. However, although Kou Xueyi is serious about studying, Xiao Qiongxun also enjoys it, but Xingyan knows the truth of "haste makes waste".Especially at the beginning, if too much homework is imposed, it will often make the two female disciples feel bored.

Therefore, every day, if there is no other business, Xingyan will always take the two daughters to Naluofu Mountain to play and rest. It's the height of summer now.Different from the outside of the mountain, the Luofu Mountain in summer is full of greenery and verdant vegetation.Between the mountains and fields, the centuries-old ancient trees can be seen everywhere.These old ancient trees often grow very huge, with a canopy like a cover, luxuriant and dense, and shaded by greenery.If you walk during it, you can hardly feel the scorching heat. And among the blue fields in summer in Luofu Cave, the place most frequented by the people of the Four Seas Hall of the Shangqing Palace is the lotus lake that little Qiongxi discovered by accident one time.

It turned out that a little girl was wandering in the mountains one time, and accidentally discovered that at the foot of a mountain about five or six hills away from Baoxia Peak, there was a large water swing. In this continuous mountain range, it is a strange thing to have a lake of such an area; when Qiong Xun told Xingyan about this discovery as a new thing, this lake became a place for everyone to enjoy the cool air in the Four Seas Hall. The usual place to escape the heat. The pool of clear water in the mountains is like a full moon, quietly embraced by the surrounding green hills. And in this water pool, there are many wild lotuses growing.Now is the season when the lotus leaves are flourishing; at a glance, the lotus leaves in the lake are either floating on the water surface, or holding up like a cover, scattered up and down, overlapping each other, covering most of the lake.

Although it is midsummer now, but because of the coolness in the mountains, the lotus in the lake has not yet bloomed; if you look around, you can see that there are many budding pink dots dotted among the green and blue of the lake. Dutch arrows. The clear water hidden deep in the deep valley of this pool, coupled with the clear green lotus that is full of the lake, naturally made the heat disappear without a trace.And Xing Yan's resting place in this lotus pond can also be called a rather strange place. On the southeast bank of Lianhu Lake, there is a very old willow whose roots are deeply embedded in the mud of the embankment.And its fluffy crown stretches obliquely into the lake.Like other ancient trees, the branches of this willow tree protruding into the lake, two of its branches are extremely wide, like two wooden boats, hanging in the air above the lake.

And the lotus lake where Xingyan and the others went to cool off was chosen on this boat-shaped willow branch.The willow tree is clean and does not provoke insects and ants, so you can rely on it with confidence.Xiao Qiongxun also named the two boat-like willow branches "tree beds". Now, Xingyan is lying comfortably on the "tree bed", half-closed his eyes, enjoying the rare lake breeze in this mountain. Just in the breeze that blows the water, if there is nothing, you can still smell the slight fishy smell that is unique to the water.It is such a breath of lake water that often makes young people feel as if they have returned to the shore of Poyang Lake in Raozhou.

Such a serene afternoon, such a gloomy lake breeze, unknowingly makes people feel lazy; accompanied by the intermittent sound of summer cicadas, this man rests his hands behind his head, lying quietly The boy on the wide willow trunk gradually lost his mind, as if he was about to fall into such a deep sleep. In this half-dream and half-awake state, Xingyan suddenly felt an itchy feeling on his arm.Opening his eyes, he saw that it was the little girl Qiongxi, who was crawling to his side, rubbing her fluffy braids against his arms.Seeing the boy open his eyes to look at her, the little girl couldn't stop laughing.

Now, the hair at the end of Qiongxu's braid was gently rubbing against Xingyan's arm, which really made him feel unbearably itchy.Just when the boy was about to raise his hand to push the little girl's golden-stained head away from his hand, he saw the little girl and the person he was dabbling with had woken up, so he sat up and gently waved the two A small pink fist actually beat Xingyan's waist and legs lightly—— Although, this little girl is not very proficient in this matter, and occasionally the rhythm is slightly disordered.But during that punch and buckle, the expression on Qiongxi's face was extremely serious.

And in the interval between the light beatings, the little girl occasionally turned her face to the side to see the reaction of the person she was beating and rubbing.If she saw Xingyan looking at her, Xiao Qiongxun would smile like a moon with her brows crooked. However, the young hall master who was favored by her felt a feeling of "pleasing" in Xiao Qiongxun's slightly jerky behavior. However, her "pleasing" feeling seems so pure and flawless; following the rhythm of Qiongxu's tapping of the man button, Xingyan is unstoppably moved.This kind of moving feeling, warm and numb, is as real as it is, and instantly filled the young man's body, making his whole body and mind rippling in an indescribable warmth—— Come to think of it, the pure-hearted Qiongxi little girl beside her, because of her status as a "monster", has already regarded herself as her biggest reliance in her heart.And this feeling of dependence burst out from the heart of this little girl who was as clean and flawless as beautiful jade, and turned into various "please" actions towards herself. It's just that the little girl's deliberate act of "pleasing" doesn't make people feel the slightest bit of dislike. On the contrary, they will feel strongly that this kind of "pleasing" is the purest and most sincere emotion in the world. . But at this moment, the girl Kou Xueyi Kou was sitting on another broad willow branch in the air, hidden in the shadow of the willow tree above her head, just quietly looking at the extremely harmonious two people in front of her, with her calm eyes As calm as ever, I can't see what feelings are in my heart. In such a quiet and peaceful summer afternoon, with a little girl's fists on his body, this young man lying quietly on the willow trunk suddenly felt that the so-called immortal years that the world often pursues is probably nothing more than this? Thinking of the word "immortal", Xingyan couldn't help but think of the Sidu dragon god Yun Zhongjun in Poyang Lake, and his granddaughter Ling Yi'er who is Yichen Yixi. Thinking of this Princess Longgong, Xingyan smiled unconsciously: Looking back now, when I first met Lingyi, I saw her savagery.But after getting acquainted with her later, she discovered that Lingyi's savagery is actually just a kind of cute simplicity. Thinking of this in her heart, she unconsciously reached into her bosom, took out the white jade lotus flower that Lingyi'er gave her as a parting gift, and began to play with it between her fingers. I don't know who carved this white jade lotus in front of me. It can be regarded as a wonderful workmanship; between the gentle lines, the tenderness of the lotus, which is about to bloom, is actually displayed on this stone-hard snow color. On the chalcedony, it is shown vividly. If it weren't for the lustrous luster on the lotus petals, Xing Yan really wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this white jade lotus and the real budding lotus flowers in the lake below him. Seeing Xingyan playing with this pure white and lovely jade lotus, the little girl Qiongxi forgot the clasp in her hand, and asked curiously: "Brother, when did you pick this lotus?" "Oh~" Xingyan intends to tease this delicate little girl: "But it didn't pick it off, it just flew over by itself." So, the little girl looked surprised: "Huh? Do lotus flowers fly like birds?" After a pause, after a little thought, he couldn't help but wonder: "It's strange~ When my brother plays the flute at night, why don't these flowers fly over to play with me? - Is it because they don't like listening to my brother's nice flute sound?" "Ha~" Seeing that the little girl believed it was true, Xingyan couldn't help laughing, and said solemnly: "Brother was teasing you just now. This is not a real lotus; it is carved out of jade. Look, is it the same as the real one?" ?” "Ah! How could this be made of stone? Brother, don't coax Qiongxi~" Perhaps the carving of the jade lotus is too realistic, but Xiao Qiongxu is a little hesitant now. "Oh, of course I didn't lie to you; you can feel it for yourself~" As he spoke, Xingyan handed the jade lotus in his hand to Qiongxu in front of him—— Unexpectedly, when the little girl took the Dragon Palace Jade Lotus from him, there was a slight gap between the two of them, and one of them didn't pay attention, and the white jade lotus slipped out of his hand and fell to the lotus under his body. Fall into the lake! "ah!" Seeing Yulian let go, Xingyan was taken aback, quickly turned to the side, turned to look under the tree, so that he could see where the jade lotus fell, so that he could go into the water to salvage it later—— At this moment, the boy saw an extremely miraculous scene: The jade lotus gifted by Lingyi, when it fell in the air, it was a bit floating, just like a real lotus, drifting slowly towards the lake under the shade of willows.What's even more strange is that after it touched the water, it didn't sink like ordinary jade, but actually floated steadily on the water surface, just like the real water-covered lotus! Just when Xingyan was thinking this way, he found that the jade lotus, as if to confirm what he thought in his heart, the jade lotus petals that were originally folded were slowly blooming now. Not long after, the jade lotus that slipped from the young man's hand, under the amazed eyes of the three people on the tree, bloomed into a snow-colored lotus flower with pistil petals! This lotus, which is about to bloom for a while, is floating safely on the silky and smooth lake under the shade of willows, quiet and delicate; but in the lotus core, it seems to have gathered all the crystals of the original jade lotus, A bright luster is rippling, like a water mirror, and like a moonlight. But in this clear and clear lotus heart, the young man sitting on the tree seems to see a figure in it, vaguely, hazy, like a light smoke, like a dream...
