Chapter 2 Section 2: Small boat (2)

"It's a pity that such a talented person is born blind. The eldest princess protected the young master when the Baili family was destroyed, and she must have taken a fancy to the young master's talent. Well, it's a good luck to meet you," Lei Bicheng said to this young man. A point of etiquette, "Please lead the way." "The eldest princess has been waiting in the water pavilion in the pool for half a day. Mr. Lei came from Shangyang Pass. At this time, it is only two days before General Bai Yi conquered Shangyang Pass. Mr. Lei's horse is really fast." Ning Qing turned and walked .He couldn't see anything, but this footbridge was where he walked every day since he was a child, so there was no mistake in the direction.Lei Bicheng followed his footsteps without any followers.

This step bridge is half a mile long, and walking into the bridge is like stepping in the middle of the water, except for a narrow wooden bridge shaking under your feet, looking around, there is only a piece of calm water, and the ripples are fine when the wind blows.Lei Bicheng stopped for a step, looked into the distance, and sighed lightly and long: "It's really a rare sight. It's just that this kind of quietness is too deep, and it looks lonely." "This is what my father likes. There are a lot of lotus flowers here, but unfortunately they have all withered now. When my father was alive, whenever the flowers were in full bloom, he would sit alone in the water pavilion, admiring and regretting all day long. The poems and essays he wrote can be compiled into a thick collection. He called the blooming white lotus "Thousand Yixue" and praised it as "cold and mournful". It is not a sad artistic conception. My father explained that when the white lotus is in full bloom, it is also the time when summer turns to autumn, and when the flower is the most magnificent, it is also the time when it is swaying in the wind and is about to wither. So even though it is luxurious, it is like a lady wearing light The gauze, the light gauze is covered with white snow. This kind of luxury is so luxurious that it makes people feel cold." Ning Qing said.

Lei Bicheng pondered for a moment: "Mr. Baili Changqing said that it is the truth that prosperity must decline?" "Actually, I haven't fully realized it yet," Ning Qing said softly, "but maybe because I think of my mother, I feel that everything left by my mother, including this pond of lotus, has the thoughts of the dead." "It turns out that the first person to plant this pond of lotus was Mr. Ning Qing's mother." Lei Bicheng nodded slightly. "My parents were supposed to rely on each other and grow old together in that water pavilion. It's a pity that my mother passed away too early, and my father had to enter the world. Mr. Lei is right, he is indeed a lonely person. The lotus flower has no desires or desires." Ning Qing sighed softly, "I still remember my father reassuring me that I don't need to care about being blind. The root of the lotus root is opened.You can't see it, but you don't have to stick to what others see, just write what you think in your heart.A person with eyes, after all, sketches what he sees at the beginning of writing, but the most beautiful things in the world are in people's hearts.Do you understand? "These words are still in my heart so far, and I can't get a single word wrong."

Lei Bicheng was silent for a long time: "Mr. Baili Changqing is truly peerless." "Please." Ning Qing gestured. Lei Bicheng climbed up the steps and walked into the quaint square water pavilion.This exquisite but simple building is located on a natural boulder in the middle of the water. It is completely built with unpainted square logs. There is not even a single iron nail, and it is built like a huge building block.Its age is very long, and the simple and gorgeous patterns can still be seen on the dark wood.There are no walls around the water pavilion, and the wind passes through the water pavilion, stirring a golden veil hanging in the center.

Lei Bicheng smelled the very faint scent of water agarwood, and vaguely saw a person sitting quietly in the veil with long clothes and wide sleeves. He nodded slightly, without restraint, lifted his black cloak and sat calmly on a legless bamboo couch opposite the veil, staring at the person in the veil not far away.There was an irresistible majesty in his calmness, neither of them spoke, Ning Qing walked to Lei Bicheng's side, with her hands in her sleeves, and stood silently. A woman's low laughter came from the veil: "Mr. Bicheng, how long has it been since we haven't seen each other?"

"Eleven years, eleven years ago, when the eldest princess had just become the eldest princess, we met in the imperial capital." Lei Bicheng also smiled slightly. "At that time, Ying Wuyi was not a fearsome lion, and our Bai clan's territory was as solid as an iron barrel. I respect Mr. Bicheng's intelligence and his cultivation of supernatural powers, and I would like to invite Mr. Bicheng to stay and serve him. The royal family contributed, but Mr. Bicheng said that the gods had chosen another person, so even if I begged on my knees, Mr. Bicheng refused to stay, but insisted on going to be loyal to that person. Later I found out that this person is called Ying Wuyi, he is my Bai clan's greatest enemy." The eldest princess' voice turned cold, "And today, Ying Wuyi has shaken the four states and sixteen countries of the Eastern Continent, even Bai Yi can't stop him at Shangyang Pass , Mr. Bicheng got what he wanted. But Mr. Bicheng came back to look for me as a national teacher who left the country, which made me very flattered."
