"I didn't expect that there were quite a few people there." Lu Zheng said with a smile.
Shen Ying also smiled and said, "I asked you to add them. After all, if I am the only one, I won't be impressive alone."
At this time, everyone also came to the main hall of the Peach Blossom Temple. The plaque in the hall was the inscription of the previous Yizhou magistrate. In the center of the hall was a statue of the Peach Blossom Fairy, one person tall, which was very similar to Shen Ying.
But what attracted everyone's attention the most was a stone tablet in front of the left side of the main hall door, with a poem carved on it.
"Taoyao"
Recipe, Shining. When the son returns home, it is suitable for his family.
The peaches are as beautiful as the peaches. When the son returns home, it is suitable for his family.
The peach is young, its leaves are pure. When the son returns home, it will be a good time for his family.
…
Si Lingxi looked at the stone tablet carefully, then her eyes moved, she stretched out her finger and flicked it lightly.
The next moment, the stone tablet emitted a gleaming light, flashed twice, and disappeared.
Shen Ying curled her lips and asked with a smile, "Has the Palace Master noticed it?"
Si Lingxi nodded and said, "It has extraordinary potential. If you can't move it, try not to move it."
Shen Ying smiled and said, "I'll save myself."
Wang Xiaowan and Yi Xiaoqian were too low in cultivation and looked confused. Du Yueyao seemed to understand, but Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan saw clearly.
This stone tablet has been baptized by incense all day long. It is already regarded as a magic weapon embryo. It is consistent with Shen Ying and has extraordinary quality. The longer it is used, the stronger its power becomes.
…
Shen Ying cast a spell on the statue of the Peach Blossom Fairy in the Peach Blossom Temple. If someone contributes extraordinary incense, a spell will be automatically triggered to replenish energy and strengthen the body, which is considered as feedback from the Peach Blossom Fairy.
A few people just walked around the Peach Blossom Temple for a while, and saw seven or eight people receiving gifts, which showed the piety of the people.
…
At noon, several people returned to Taohua Village. Xiaocui had already prepared lunch. Although it was not as good as Lu Zheng's, after years of hard work, it was still extraordinary.
During the meal break, Lu Zheng took Shen Ying into the back hall and came out after a while. Then Shen Ying whispered a few words in Si Lingxi's ear, and Si Lingxi raised her eyebrows and nodded.
A few people had their meal and tasted tea, and then they took off into the clouds and flew straight to Baiquan Valley.
In the Baiquan Valley, water vapor is rising, and clouds and mist are rising. The water vapor turns into clouds and mist, covering the entire valley. The spiritual energy brought by the hot springs from the ground is also locked in the water vapor, reflecting the sunlight. Reflecting the rays of light.
Several people fell from the sky and looked around, but saw no one.
Lu Zheng took off his clothes and slid into the spring.
"Comfortable!"
A moment later, Liu Qingyan changed into a green one-piece swimsuit, walked out of the clouds, gently slid into the pool, and came to Lu Zheng's side.
Soon, through the layers of clouds and mist, Lu Zheng heard the voices of several women talking next to him - after all, it was still ancient times, and except for Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying, the other women still wouldn't soak in the same pool as Lu Zheng. inner.
Therefore, apart from Bi Xinyu, Lu Zheng has never... ahem...
"Wow, it looks good!"
"whee!"
“So comfortable!”
Lu Zheng smiled slightly, then patted the gourd. Plates of washed grapes and strawberries, cut apples, watermelons, and peeled oranges and lychees appeared in front of him. They were gently touched by him. Send it to the pool next door.
"Wow! So many fruits!"
"And there are lychees?" Yi Xiaoqian said in shock, "Fresh lychees?"
"Mmm, it's delicious, crunchy and sweet!"
The girls put the wooden plates floating on the water, and each lay on their sides by the spring, soaking in the hot spring, eating some fruit from time to time, and enjoying themselves endlessly.
Si Lingxi took a lychee and peeled it open gently. She saw that the juice was overflowing and the sweetness was rich. She put it into her mouth. The flesh was full and tender, and the core was only the size of the tip of her little finger.
"What kind of lychee is this? It's really sweet." Si Lingxi said in surprise.
There are also lychees in Phoenix Mountain, and they are even sweeter than this one, but they are made by changing their essence with magic and then nourishing them with spiritual energy, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Si Lingxi can see clearly that the lychees in front of her are the most ordinary lychees. , there is not even a bit of spiritual energy in it.
Lu Zheng heard Si Lingxi's question and replied casually, "Concubine laughs."
"Concubine laughs?" Lu Zheng's answer was not what he asked, and Si Lingxi was confused. "What's the name of this lychee?"
"Uh, yes, the name of this lychee variety."
"Why do you want to ask the concubine to laugh?" Shen Ying asked.
Lu Zheng's eyes wandered and he touched his nose, "Because... this involves a story..."
"what story?"
"I... there is a story in my hometown. It is said that an emperor's concubine loved to eat lychees. She would smile happily as long as she ate the lychees, so she called her concubine's smile." Lu Zheng finished the story in one sentence.
"This is just a legend. What a story." Shen Ying complained speechlessly, "Lu Lang, did you say a lot less?"
"Yes, yes, for example, Liang Zhu, it is actually the story of Zhu Yingtai who disguised herself as a man and fell in love with Liang Shanbo, and both died in love in the end." Du Yueyao said, "Just such a sentence, it sounds dry, not touching at all details."
"Lu Lang?" Liu Qingyan came up gently, "If the palace master hadn't asked, we wouldn't have known that this lychee had such a beautiful name. It must not be ordinary if it can leave a legendary story, right?"
After receiving the message in a hurry, Lu Zheng shook his head helplessly, "No, you are wrong. Although this is a love story and quite touching, most people may not accept it."
"Oh, what do you say?"
When they heard it was a love story, the eyes of the girls lit up.
"Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are both love stories, which are quite touching. At this time, Lu Zheng mentioned another love story, which made them moved.
but……
Lu Zheng really didn’t want to tell the story of Emperor Tang Ming and Concubine Yang!
too difficult……
There are too many things involved in the story, such as the replacement of imperial power, the father-in-law and his daughter-in-law, the rebellion of Jiedushi, etc., and more importantly, the death of Yang Yuhuan, but Emperor Tang Ming did not object!
Therefore, without the historical and cultural accumulation and foundation, without Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", this story is really not touching at all.
Lu Zheng shook his head, "This story is boring. Let's change it to another one."
"Let's talk about this concubine's laugh." Si Lingxi became curious, how could Lu Zheng be fooled like this, "If the explanation is good, I will teach you a method of controlling fire."
Lu Zheng, "..."
"Ahem! In fact, this story involves imperial power, history, rebellion, family ethics, as well as the praise of contemporary poets and the memory of later poets. It can be said to be a quite legendary love story. I think it is very necessary to tell it."
