Seeing that Long Ji was gone, Jing Shi felt no nostalgia at the moment. He held the flower branch in his hand and returned to the mountain waterfall. After walking most of the way, I felt the wind blowing into my muscles and bones, gradually becoming chilly. Fortunately, there was still a sense of warmth in my chest, so I immediately quickened my pace and hurried to the waterfall, only to see Guerwan standing in the snow, holding a wooden stick, confronting the green-tailed peacock. Both sides stood up and spread their feathers, shouting at each other. For a while, the apes howled and the birds chirped, making such a noise that all the birds in the forest fled in fright.
Gu'erwan caught the peacock from Longji's feet and was returning to the cave to play. Unexpectedly, he was pecked hard by the peacock. He became furious and threw the peacock out of the cave.
The peacock is originally a sun-facing bird. Because of its long feathers on its tail and its resplendent appearance, it is often said to be a sub-phoenix spiritual bird among the people. Rich families prefer to keep it in their gardens. Although the theory of the phoenix species is mostly fabricated, the peacock is good in nature and can avoid evil, and can detoxify all kinds of poisons. It is often the enemy of snakes and scorpions. This is due to the nature of things. It is a lucky bird given by God with wisdom and wisdom. Only its nature is similar to that of a pheasant. The male is beautiful but impatient. He lives on a wild island for a long time, which makes him even more ferocious. Suddenly, Gu'erwan was grabbed by force. He also spread his tail feathers and screamed loudly, which made Guerwan jump like thunder. Just when the commotion was boiling, he suddenly saw Jing Shi returning, but he folded his tail feathers and went to rest under the pile of rocks by the lake.
Although Gu'erwan was full of anger, when he saw Jing Shi returning, he felt concerned after all. He put the stick back behind his back, ran to Jing Shi and said, "Jing Guan'er, what did you do when you ran out with the White Lady?"
Jing Shi said, "Just chatting." Then he walked towards the cave on the mountain wall. When he reached the entrance of the cave, he saw that the snow on the ground in front of the cave had melted away, but the few green stars were gone. Now we went straight into the cave, picked up our luggage, and headed back to Dongquan Village.
Gu'er Wan walked with him. Although he heard his understatement, he refused to indulge. He rolled his eyes a few times and said: "I see that White Lady walks very lightly. If she is not a female ghost, she is one of those people who know Dharma in the city." Yes. Jing Guan'er, you also said that you know Dharma, who is better between you and her?"
Jing Shi said as he walked: "I only know mystical principles and have no power, so I cannot be compared with Xian Xian. She is a distinguished guest of the Xian family, so you can't talk nonsense."
Gu'er Wan said: "I think she looks about the same as you, and she doesn't have three heads and six arms. How can she be noble?"
Jing Shi was startled when he heard this, and was stumped by the golden retriever. But since I don’t know the title of Qingdu, let alone the Southern Territory Shrine, how can I tell him clearly. After thinking for a while, Fang said: "There are many people who can cast spells. She knows spells better than others and can do more than others. Naturally, others dare not offend her."
Gu'erwan didn't seem to understand. He scratched his head and thought hard for a while and said: "I don't think she is very good, but I think you Chinese people have different rules. Whether you are expensive or not depends on what you wear. I see that she wears a lot of clothes, although she doesn't wear that. Gold, stone, silver and stone, just dragging the cloth is too troublesome, it must not be easy to get along with."
Jing Shi didn't know that he was so perfunctory that he could not help but be speechless when he spoke so eloquently. He said for a long time: "If you see her next time, don't speak easily."
Gu'erwan was confused and felt aggrieved. He glared and said, "Don't let me speak."
Jing Shi knew his temper, so he didn't reason at the moment. He just smiled and said, "Look which is the highest peak on the island?"
Gu'er Wan said: "It's the small peak deep in the mountain."
Jing Shi grunted and said, "If you, Madam Bai, get angry, all you have to do is strike down with your sword and this peak will become an abyss."
Gu'erwan opened his mouth in shock, tilted his head and looked at the mountain behind him, feeling doubtful. Jing Shi also allowed him to think wildly. He just picked up the flower branches in his hands and looked at them silently. Just as his thoughts were whirling, his back suddenly sank, and Gu'er jumped up again, hugged his neck and said: "Jing Guan'er, what a precious flower you are. How can it be that one is red and one is white, and it can be born in the same place?" "On the branch"
Jing Shi said: "This was a gift from Immortal Chan just now. It is not a rare treasure, but just a good thing for protection. I will put it in the village later, and you are not allowed to pick it up."
Gu'er Wan responded, but didn't let go, still hugging Jing Shi's back. After all, Jing Shi's body was a mortal. He was suffering from the cold weather and felt heavy weight. Just when he was about to tell him to be honest, Gu'er Wan said: "Jing Guan'er, the White Lady is scolding you."
Jing Shi was startled when he heard this and said, "No. Why did you say such a thing?"
Gu'erwan said: "I saw that your face was sullen when you came back. You said that the White Lady is older than you, just like me and the old lady Shuihua. The old lady went over to teach me how to speak Chinese language, and you can speak a little bit better. If it’s not right, then you will scold me for being playful. Jing Guan’er, if the White Lady hadn’t said that to you, why are you so unhappy?”
Ever since Jing Shi got to know Gu'er Wan, he only felt that his nature was bright and wild, and it was difficult to cultivate and tame him. He never thought that he was also careful and sensitive, and could actually see into his own mind. Since he was exposed by Gu'erwan, he had no intention of hiding it. He just raised his arm and touched Guerwan's head and said, "It's not that I'm unhappy because of her words. There's something I can't understand."
Gu'erwan said: "If you don't understand something, I'll think about it for you."
Jing Shi smiled when he heard this, but said nothing. He couldn't help being entangled. He just grabbed Gu'erwan's arm and said, "I saw something strange when I was young, and it has something to do with her. I still haven't figured it out yet. I just talked to her." I spoke because I wanted to ask her about this matter."
Gu'erwan said: "Then how did she answer?"
Jing Shi shook his head and frowned, then said after a long time: "She is lying."
Gu'erwan was surprised when he heard this and wanted to ask more about it. Jing Shi refused to explain clearly. He just picked him up and put him back on the ground and said: "There are many doubts about this matter and it involves the privacy of the elders. It should not be taken lightly." Make a judgment. Don’t mention what I just said to others.”
Gu'er promised in his bowl, not forgetting Jing Shi's words just now. He grabbed his trouser leg and said, "Jing Guan'er, you said that White Lady lied to you, but she wanted to harm you."
Jing Shi shook his head and said, "No." He added, "This matter may not have anything to do with me. Maybe she lied for others."
After hearing what he said, Gu'erwan calmed down, hugged the wooden stick and said, "You Lu people always have the most thoughts, and you also like to talk in circles. As long as the White Lady doesn't harm you and tells lies casually, It's up to her to be happy. Jing Guan'er, you are so worried and unhappy."
Jing Shi smiled again, nodded and said, "You're right. The affairs of the Immortal Family have nothing to do with mortals. It's just doubt in my heart." Then he put the flower branch in his hand on the bag and never mentioned it again.
The two of them chatted and entered Dongquan Village again. Jing Shi originally planned to go to Wu Ma to ask about the mountain beast, but Long Ji's sudden arrival disrupted all his thoughts. When he was able to live in the house, he borrowed a bowl from his neighbor, filled it with water, put the plum branches in it, and sat at the table to look at it. He saw two flowers blooming at the same time on the branches, and the fragrance filled the room, and he fell into meditation again. From dusk to night, I wanted to start writing a book, but my mind was still too distracted to care about other things, so I quietly put away my pen and went to sleep.
It was a peaceful night's sleep with no dreams. At dawn the next day, Jing Shi got up early to wash himself. The bone bowl came into the room. He jumped up on the table and looked at him. He said happily: "Jing Guan'er, you look much better today." Why is there still fragrance on my body?”
When Jingshi looked at his face in the water, he saw that he was full of energy and radiant. He raised his sleeves and smelled it, but he didn't notice any peculiar smell. He values cleanliness, washes and changes clothes diligently, and has no habit of incense. At this moment, when he heard Gu'erwan's words, he didn't take it to heart. He just said, "I think it's the fragrance of flowers in the house."
Gu'er Bowl said: "No, no. I can't tell where the fragrance comes from. The fragrance of flowers in the house, I know it comes from the table. There is another fragrance on you, which is strange and smells like meat. Jing Guan'er, are you there? There is food hidden in the clothes." After saying that, he rushed forward, his nose twitched, and he sniffed a few more times.
Jing Shi raised his hand to smell his sleeve again, but found nothing. He could only push the Gu'er bowl away a little and said, "If you are hungry, just go and eat. You don't have to wait for me."
Gu'er bowl said: "I'm not hungry. Jing Guan'er, where are you going today?"
Jing Shi pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't left the village in the past few days, so I have been doing business here." Then he went out of the house, summoned the village treasurer, checked the books and records of the accumulated grain, and handed them over for a look. Although the handwriting was the same as before. Different, but full of errors and omissions, it is difficult to be accurate. When I went to the warehouse to count the grain, I found it was more than a hundred kilograms less than the day before. When I asked the treasurer why, he was dumbfounded and confused. Gu'erwan was very anxious when he saw this, and wanted to persuade Jing Shi not to be angry, but Jing Shi kept his expression as usual, smiled and said, "I think the cat in the mountain has gone away."
