Chapter 6 Section 6: Small boat (6)

The eldest princess felt that the water pavilion was about to collapse. Like a child, she was at a loss in front of the great power of nature.She held her head in one hand and Ning Qing's waist in the other, and shouted loudly.But her voice was completely swallowed by the sound of rain and wind. The rain fell very fast and stopped very fast.The dark clouds in the sky cracked a hole in the middle, and the sky light poured down from that gap like a pillar.From that gap, the clouds collapsed piece by piece.The violent wind swept away from the center of the sky in all directions, sweeping away the fragments of the clouds, and the scorching sun was burning in a blink of an eye.

The eldest princess couldn't believe her eyes, she watched the tender green lotus leaf tips rising from the water surface, not in one place, but hundreds of thousands of branches at the same time.The lotus leaves spread out, and the pavilion stands like a girl standing on the toes, and then unfolds like a disc. The surface of the pool is full of greenery for a moment, and the frogs jump into the water, and the water is rippling.The white lotus flower buds in the ripples slowly rose from the water, the water drops on the flower buds still did not fall, and the lotus flowers were already in full bloom.Thousands of flowers dance like the sleeves of ladies when the wind blows.

At this time, Lei Bicheng stood with a smile, he picked a lotus flower from his side, and held it flatly in his palm. After he finished picking, the wind became slightly cooler and swept across the surface of the pool one after another.Autumn is strong, filling the surroundings, and the blazing sunlight disappeared without a trace. Pieces of petals fell off in the wind, flew up again, fell on the water again, spun leisurely, and sank to the bottom of the water. Like a grand snow. Those branches criss-crossing the pool faded from green, became dark and ugly, tangled on the water surface, in a very far away place, someone played a harp and sang, plain and desolate:

i have a deadwood Playing ancient tunes in the mountains no flowers bloom It's been a thousand years When the singing disappeared, everything dissipated like a dream.It was still a calm pool with lotus branches in the late autumn. An old man in black robe stood on the step bridge, holding a dewy white lotus in his palm.The eldest princess stared blankly at all this, only to feel that too many things she believed in for a long time were destroyed in an instant, the whole world was empty, and everything was illusory. Lei Bicheng stepped into the water pavilion again, and dedicated the white lotus branch to the eldest princess respectfully: "This is the power of the gods. Life and death, prosperity and decline, profit and loss, and everything can be controlled. I am just one of his emissaries. His power is to me what the sea is to a drop of water. And he has bestowed this great authority on the Eldest Princess."

The eldest princess held the branch of lotus in a daze, and squeezed all the stems out of the water with all her strength.That is a real lotus, the lotus that grows here.This is her cool palace, and she is familiar with the flowers that bloom here, which cannot be faked.And when everything withered in late autumn, a great power that she had never really experienced allowed her to see the rapid flow of time and the cycle of life and death of creation. Trembling, she raised the lotus over her head, and bowed down respectfully to Leibicheng. Lei Bicheng also knelt down and bowed to her, like a slave facing his master.

"Why?" The Eldest Princess shook her head as if her soul had been taken away, "People like you will choose us? You have unparalleled strength, you can do everything." "You are like Gu Lun'er! Yes, you are the same as Gu Lun'er!" She remembered the name, raised her head suddenly, her eyes widened, her black hair was disheveled, "You are envoys of God, whether you bring Destruction or gift, no one can refuse." Leibicheng also seemed to be exhausted from showing such a miracle. He sat down on the ground, panting slightly: "Because God's power is everywhere and omnipotent, but he has a shortcoming, even those of us who believe in and Those who follow him can't deny it. God's power cannot change people's hearts."

"Human...heart?" The eldest princess looked at him with blank eyes. Ning Qing stepped forward and bent down, accurately picked up the branch of white lotus that fell on the ground.He gently rubbed his face against the petals of the white lotus, like a child snuggling against the chest of his parents: "Mr. Lei's miracle, even a blind man like me can feel it. When the wind just picked up, I suddenly felt like I heard my father talking to me again. The air is full of the smell of my childhood." Lei Bicheng looked up at this young man who was as calm as before, and suddenly felt a strong sense of vigilance.He remembered that during the whole process just now, the young man had been standing there quietly, with Princess Ren in his arms, he didn't move, with a calm and elegant smile on his face.
