(The water is like a mirror, but the undercurrent is turbulent)
By the Tongtian River, Feng Yi and Hai Dongqing were sitting next to Lan Feng, who was still in a coma.
Silent for a long time, the remains of houses floated on the river, mixed with the corpses of villagers. Some big fish were attracted by the fishy meat and ate the carcasses.
"Man is a swordsman, and I am a fish. Now the corpses of these villagers are used as fish food. It can be regarded as cause and effect..." Feng Yi squinted his eyes and watched this scene.
Hai Dongqing picked up Lan Feng who was beside him, but was stopped by Feng Yi.
Hai Dongqing said: "When I came out of the forest that day, I saw that this wisteria gourd had an extraordinary aura. I thought there was an expert protecting Lan Feng. I just saw it today. I dare to ask the senior's name."
Feng Yi did not answer him, but asked: "Who is in charge of the Huntian Demon Banner now?"
Hai Dongqing was shocked when he heard what he said, and a feeling of hostility suddenly rose in his heart: "Senior, what do you mean by this?"
"There are three hundred and sixty feather insects, and the most handsome one is Hai Dongqing." Feng Yi said, "In the battle between the gods and demons, the Huntian Demon Banner led by the Golden-winged Dapeng King delayed the Tathagata in Lingshan, and only sent the Eagle King Hai Dongqing and The divine eagles under his command came to help in the Lingxiao battle. But Hai Dongqing back then was not as vulnerable as he is now."
Hearing this, Hai Dongqing's eyes darkened, and he said, "My father was the one who fought in the battle of Huaguo Mountain. But, he never came back..."
"Oh?" Feng Yi said, "So, now you are in charge of the Huntian Demon Flag?"
Hai Dongqing looked at Feng Yi and said: "I'm sorry, senior. From your tone, I know you are quite familiar with the affairs of the gods and monsters back then. If you are not a member of my clan, I cannot say more."
Feng Yi smiled: "That's all, I know even if you don't tell me. You have rescued Lan Feng several times, so you must also know his true identity, but you can't take him away yet."
"Why is this?" Hai Dongqing asked.
Feng Yi said: "He is still young and his mind is not strong. There is evil star Yinghuo in his body. I just used Guanyin's nine-petal lotus to suppress him. If you take him away now, he will be killed in the demon world. If the Yinghuo Demon Star bites back, won’t all the previous efforts be wasted?”
When Hai Dongqing heard what Feng Yi said, he remembered what happened to Lan Feng just now. The power of the Yinghuo Demon Star has not yet been fully released. If Lan Feng is taken to the demon world to transform into a demon now, the Yinghuo Demon Star will definitely take this opportunity to steal Lan Feng's consciousness.
Yinghuo was once a member of the demon clan and was extremely powerful. However, he had a perverse temperament, was bloodthirsty and warlike, and had repeatedly provoked conflicts between humans and demons. Therefore, the elders of the demon clan had no choice but to join forces and seal him on the red star in the sky, becoming one of the disaster stars in the star map.
Feng Yi saw Hai Dongqing's brows furrowing and said: "Phoenixes are born in all fires in the world. When Lanfeng's phoenix soul came to the world, it didn't even react to the phoenix crystal in the hands of the gods. This phoenix could actually sense the phoenix in Lanfeng's soul. The breath of Luan Feng. That day he tried to seize Lan Feng's body, so I used the Taoist seal to seal him into Lan Feng's body again, hoping that one day I could use the phoenix fire to refine the demon fire. But today it seems that maybe I am a little impatient. ..”
Hai Dongqing said: "This child is the son of Luan Feng, why is he now a human being?"
Feng Yi looked at the wisteria gourd on Lan Feng's neck and said with a complicated expression, "I can't tell you..."
Hai Dongqing thoughtfully put down Lan Feng and said, "Senior, since you are determined to protect him, why didn't you save the life of this fishing village in this disaster?"
Feng Yi stood up, looked at the 800-mile boundless water realm and said, "Only after experiencing human tribulations can we realize the suffering of all living beings. How can we take the path of killing gods if we are determined to die?"
"Haha! What a way to kill the gods!" Hai Dongqing said with a smile, "Then this child will be entrusted to the seniors!"
Feng Yi asked again: "May I ask the Eagle King, where is the protection of the demon clan?"
Hai Dongqing raised the corner of his mouth: "Ming Hai."
After that, before Feng Yi could ask him more carefully, he turned into the blue and white giant eagle and hovered in the sky. After a loud cry, he fluttered his wings and left.
Seeing that Hai Dongqing refused to elaborate, Feng Yi thought that Hai Dongqing still hadn't let down his guard yet. Shaking his head, he picked up Lan Feng and placed it at the remains of the fish basket Guanyin, then returned to the wisteria gourd.
News of the destruction of the fishing village soon spread in nearby counties and cities. After hearing the news, Wan Xi cried and went to find Lan Feng's whereabouts.
The two elders of the Su family couldn't stand Wan Xi's crying, and remembered their promise to the father and son, so they sent people to search by the river. After working hard until the evening of the next day, the Su family found Lan Feng on the broken hanging rock.
Several servants sent Lan Feng back to Su's house. Seeing that Lan Feng was still awake, Mr. Su called for a doctor to check. After the doctor looked at it, he just said that he was too frightened and suffered from wind and cold. He would be fine if he rested, so he prescribed medicine and left.
The servants wiped off the dirt on Lan Feng's body and put it on the bed. Wan Xi kept muttering at Lan Feng's side and refused to leave. The two elders of the Su family were helpless when they saw that their little girl was so interested in this child. The medicinal soup was boiled and sent to the room.
Liu Huan pushed the door open with a medicine bowl in hand. Seeing Wan Xi's big eyes staring at Lan Feng, she couldn't help but smile and shook her head. She walked forward and saw a few scars on Lanfeng's thin face, and felt somewhat pitiful in her heart.
"Miss, let me give him some medicine." Liu Huan said to Wan Xi.
Wan Xi said: "Sister Liu Huan, give it to me. I will give the medicine to Brother Lanfeng."
Liu Huan chuckled lightly, handed the medicine bowl to Wan Xi and said, "I don't know where this boy got the good fortune to have the lady treat him like this."
Wan Xi took the medicine bowl, filled a spoonful of medicine soup with a spoon, blew twice gently and put it into Lan Feng's mouth. Unexpectedly, as soon as the medicinal soup entered Lan Feng's mouth, his eyes suddenly widened.
Wan Xi was startled and broke the medicine bowl in her hand to the ground. Before she could regain her senses, Lan Feng lifted up the quilt and ran outside.
"Father!! Mother!!" Lanfeng cried.
Liu Huan helped Wan Xi up, and when he saw that Wan Xi was okay, he shouted: "Here comes someone, stop him quickly!"
When the servants around heard this, they immediately rushed up and hugged Lan Feng. Unexpectedly, Lan Feng exerted his strength and the fire energy emitted from his body shook the servants away!
"Ding..."
At this time, the nine Buddhist beads on his neck dimly lit up, and Lan Feng released his strength, knelt on the ground and began to cry.
After hearing the news, the two elders of the Su family rushed over and saw Lan Feng kneeling on the ground. The servants around him were holding long sticks and did not dare to come forward.
Mr. Su shouted sternly: "What are you doing!"
One of the servants stepped forward and told Mr. Su about Lan Feng's strange behavior just now. After hearing this, Mr. Su cautiously walked to Lan Feng and patted his shoulder. Seeing that he was okay, he asked the servants to disperse.
He knelt down to support Lan Feng and said, "Little guy, stop crying. What's going on?"
Lan Feng cried and told everything about the inspiration king. As for where the inspiration king went later, Lan Feng just shook his head and didn't know. After hearing this, Mr. Su was secretly frightened. No mortal could afford such a thing.
He comforted Lan Feng and said: "Natural and man-made disasters are all determined by fate. You can stay here for now..."
Before she finished speaking, Na Wan Xi ran from the side and said to Mr. Su: "Dad, why do you want to stay temporarily? Brother Lanfeng's parents are gone, so we should be kind enough to take him in! If it hadn't been for him before, I’m afraid my daughter will be gone a long time ago.”
Mr. Su thought to himself that his polite words were taken seriously by his daughter, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
He said: "Okay, good daughter. Daddy doesn't want to drive him away, just let him live here, okay?"
After hearing this, Wan Xi smiled. She stepped forward and took Lanfeng's hand and said, "Brother Lanfeng, don't be sad. You can live here and play with me from now on."
Lanfeng saw that the matter had come to this, and fortunately this family was still willing to take him in, so he could only suppress the sadness in his heart and nodded: "Thank you, sister Wanxi, thank you, uncle Su."
Seeing that the child was quite well-behaved and sensible, and that he was also responsible for the gold-tailed carp disaster, Mr. Su smiled and said, "You haven't eaten for a day, so you must be hungry. Come on, let's go eat first."
Several people came to the table and saw that the cook had prepared the dishes. Just as he was about to move his chopsticks, he saw a servant whispering something in Mr. Su's ear. Mr. Su frowned and said to Lan Feng and the others: "You guys eat first, I'll come back when I go. Wan Xi, give Lan Feng more food."
Wan Xi nodded obediently.
When the master went out, the servant said: "Sir, several old merchants are waiting for you in the main hall."
Mr. Su responded and walked to the main hall. Seeing three old businessmen drinking tea, he stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I've been waiting for a long time."
These three are named "Zhao, Wang, and Li" and are also relatively large merchants near this county and city. These four merchants have a lot of trade contacts on weekdays, but the leaders rarely get together.
When the three of them saw Mr. Su coming, they also stood up and returned the greeting.
Mr. Su sat down, took a sip of tea, and asked a few people about their intentions. It turns out that the flood that day destroyed the fishing village and affected many surrounding neighbors. There are rumors that some people saw two evil spirits causing trouble in the heavy rain that day, and no one survived in the fishing village by the river. Therefore, people around us jointly requested us to fund the reconstruction of the Fish Basket Guanyin Statue, so as to ensure the safety of this area.
Mr. Su thought this was a kind deed and said: "Several old friends, it is my duty to do this kind deed. And the day before yesterday, I also sent people to the fishing village to search, and fortunately saved a child, who is now well adopted." at home."
Zhao Shang asked: "Oh? All the adults in this fishing village are dead, why is a child alive?"
"Maybe it's God's blessing..." Mr. Su took another sip of tea.
The four people were chatting in the main hall, and the sky gradually darkened. Lan Feng had a poor appetite at the dinner table, but there was still a sense of sadness in his heart. After getting off the dinner table, he was about to go back to his room when he saw Wan Xi jumping up to him with her hands behind her back.
Wan Xi smiled sweetly and took out a white dress from behind. She smiled and said, "Here, brother Lanfeng."
Lan Feng took the clothes and said, "This is..."
"I asked Sister Liu Huan to go to the satin shop to pick this out for you. Do you like it?" Wan Xi said.
Lanfeng rarely wore tops on weekdays, and at most he wore a small coat. Seeing that this white satin plain dress was made of almost the same material as Wan Xi's clothes, he expressed his liking for it.
Wan Xi smiled and put the white shirt on Lan Feng and buttoned his waist. Tilting her head, she saw the potpourri sachet in Lanfeng's arms.
"Brother Lanfeng, have you lost this sachet yet?" Wan Xi said.
Lanfeng said: "No, I have always kept it in my arms. Do you want it? If you want it, I will give it back to you."
With that said, Lanfeng reached out and took out the sachet. Wan Xi frowned and quickly pressed Lan Feng's hand. She said angrily: "Hey, there is no reason to return the things that others gave away. You are not allowed to throw away this sachet. If I ask you for it one day, you will If you can’t find it, I will never play with you again!”
Lan Feng looked at Wan Xi's angry look, and the sadness in his heart finally subsided a little. He put the sachet in his arms, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sister Wan Xi, I will definitely carry this sachet with me."
"Hey, boy, when you put on these clothes, you will immediately feel energetic. You must play well with my young lady and don't bully her." Liu Huan said, touching Lan Feng's head.
Lanfeng put on the sapphire beads. Although he didn't know where the nine beads came from, after putting them on, his whole mood immediately became much lighter. Since the child was innocent, he didn't think too much about it.
Wan Xi saw that Lan Feng was in a better mood, so she took Lan Feng's hand and ran towards the side corridor. After they came to the side corridor, Wan Xi said mysteriously: "Brother Lanfeng, follow me."
Turning the corner, Wan Xi pointed to the wall, and Lan Feng saw a ladder leaning there. Wan Xi climbed up the ladder first, then walked along the wall and sat on the roof of the main hall.
"Come up quickly, brother Lanfeng!" she shouted.
When Lan Feng saw Wan Xi on the roof, he quickly followed and sat next to Wan Xi. Only then did he see that the main hall of the Su family was higher than most houses in the county and city, and almost the entire county and city could be seen from here. In addition, the geographical location of this county is relatively high, so you can still vaguely see the Tongtian River in the distance.
It was already late at night, and the two of them were on the roof looking at the thousands of lanterns in the county and city. The stars falling on people's houses also had a unique flavor.
"Brother Lanfeng, can I sing to you?" Wan Xi asked.
Lan Feng was startled for a moment and said, "Song? What is that?" Lan Feng was born in a fisherman's family. On weekdays, he only had firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Occasionally I heard the wild tunes shouted by the villagers, but I didn't know what the songs were.
Wan Xi chuckled and did not answer Lan Feng, but sang softly...
The clouds rise above the moon, and the plumes are gone.
The meaning of the song is long, and the love of Sichuan is forgotten.
The sky is filled with stars like rain, falling mundane stars.
Time is waiting for you to start, leaving you in mortal world——
Lan Feng was fascinated by what he heard. He had never heard such a beautiful melody before. Maybe it was his first time hearing it, maybe it was because the music was really nice...
"It sounds so nice..." Lanfeng said, "Sister Wanxi, what is this song about?"
Wan Xi shook her head: "I don't know, the old lady who taught me didn't tell me what it meant."
"Old woman? Which old woman?" Lan Feng asked.
The evening breeze raised Wanxi's black hair on her temples, and she smiled and said, "It's the old woman who gave me the sachet. She said that if one day I meet the person I like, I will sing to him. Does it sound good?"
"That sounds good!" Lanfeng nodded.
"Then I'll keep singing!" Wan Xi smiled happily. She continued singing...
If you ask, it's about women's love.
Mountain flower night, human scene.
Through the years, there is no separation,
The flowers are gone and the leaves are evergreen——
