(Thousands of rivers and mountains, I feel at ease when I see you)
Lan Feng and Liu Huan walked through the corridor and went up to the third floor. It turned out that Wan Xi's room was under the eaves where Lan Feng and Kui Mulang had just watched the dance.
Liu Huan said: "Master Lanfeng, please wait here." After saying that, Liu Huan stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Miss, someone wants to see you." Liu Huan said.
"See you, see you! Sister Liu Huan, I told you I won't see that person named Zhao!" Wan Xi said in the room.
Liu Huan smiled and glanced at Lan Feng, then turned around and said: "Miss, it's Mr. Lan Feng who is back..."
"Sister Liu Huan, don't try to fool me. Brother Lanfeng has been gone for so many years, why did he come back today..." Wan Xi said angrily.
Before Liu Huan could speak, Lanfeng stepped forward and opened the door. He saw that the room was luxurious and exquisite, and there was a light red gauze curtain on the bed. Wan Xi was looking at the moon with her back on the window sill.
When Wan Xi heard the door open, she turned around and saw the seven-foot green monk.
"You..." She moved a little bit, put aside the red curtain, and saw her handsome face clearly under the yellow light.
Wan Xi stared at these clear green eyes, and then at the sapphire beads on Lan Feng's neck, and tears suddenly welled up in her heart...
Lanfeng's blue eyes were also red. He said nothing, but slowly took out the flower sachet from his arms and handed it to Wan Xi.
"When all the flowers are gone, the leaves are evergreen..." Lan Feng said.
Wan Xi took the potpourri sachet tremblingly. He had not forgotten himself. He still remembered the agreement. Now, after seven years, the person he has been thinking about day and night is finally standing in front of him. Seven years ago, when Lanfeng held her in his arms, she fell in love with this boy from a poor family.
Now we see each other again, still gazing into each other's eyes, hugging each other, and shedding infatuated tears...
Liu Huan realized what was going on and half-closed the door to the side.
Wan Xi held the flower sachet and cried sadly in Lan Feng's arms. For a long time, the two of them walked to the window sill, looking at the river and moon, and recounting the past seven years.
Lanfeng held the lovely girl in his arms and listened to her express her pain of missing her. Only then did she realize that the person in her arms had secretly promised her heart. On the day Master Su promised her to Mr. Zhao, she rushed out of the house in anger and lived in Chunjiang Tower for three years...
Why doesn't Lan Feng miss Wan Xi? When he was most helpless, she was the only one who missed him and helped him. However, these seven years have changed, and the one I love has promised to marry someone else. The fate of his parents and the words of the matchmaker have been decided. How can Lanfeng, a commoner, have the ability to take his beloved far away?
The night talk was like a dream, Wan Xi rested her head on Lan Feng's lap and looked at the face under the spring moon in a daze. Although she felt sleepy, she still refused to fall asleep, for fear that once she closed her eyes, she would never see Lan Feng again.
Lan Feng knew what she was thinking. He stroked Wan Xi's black hair and said with a smile: "Silly girl, go to sleep. My brother will be here to accompany you tonight..."
After Wan Xi heard this, a trace of blush appeared on her cheeks, then she closed her eyes and fell asleep sweetly.
When Lan Feng saw Wan Xi sleeping, he gently picked her up and put her on the bed. Na Luo Shan slipped down unconsciously, revealing half of her shoulders, and Wan Xi's skin was reflected in the yellow light. Lan Feng covered her with a quilt and kissed Wan Xi on the forehead before turning off the light and exiting Wan Xi's boudoir.
"Master Lanfeng." Lanfeng had just closed the door when he was stopped by Liu Huan. He looked embarrassed. It turned out that Liu Huan had been guarding the door, and he was afraid that Wan Xi's kiss just now was seen by her.
Lan Feng said embarrassedly: "Sister Liu Huan, I made you laugh."
Liu Huan smiled and said: "Miss has been thinking about you for the past seven years, but unfortunately she has been promised to the Zhao family master now. If you had come back a year and a half earlier, maybe..."
Lanfeng lowered his head and sighed: "She is just my sister..."
Liu Huan looked at the plain-clothed monk in front of him, who was a head taller than him. He was no longer the ignorant young man he was back then. Even though he said so, everyone actually understood it tacitly.
"How about you take the lady away..." Liu Huan said suddenly.
Lanfeng was stunned after hearing this, lowered his head and said: "Uncle Su has been kind to me, how could I take his beloved daughter away. Besides, Wan Xi is rich and rich, so a poor boy like me will not have a peaceful life... "
"But Wan Xi likes you." Liu Huan said, "She has watched Wan Xi grow up little by little. How could she not understand the girl's thoughts?"
Lan Feng said: "Okay, Sister Liu Huan, don't mention this matter again. I just want Wan Xi to live a better life. This time when I came back, I was entrusted by the abbot of Jinshan Temple to go to Wanshou Mountain to attend the ceremony. The private relationship between my children is still Let’s let it go for now.”
Moon sets and dawn
Early in the morning, Lan Feng brought water to Wan Xi's bedside. Seeing that she was still sleeping soundly, he knelt down and looked at this beautiful face. He picked up a strand of black hair from Wan Xi's forehead and tucked it behind Wan Xi's ear, then stroked her cheek.
Wan Xi seemed to feel something and opened her hazy eyes. When she saw Lan Feng squatting in front of her, a flash of red suddenly appeared on the tips of her ears.
"Brother Lanfeng..." Wan Xi straightened up shyly. Lan Feng smiled and put the basin away and took a towel to wipe Wan Xi's face.
Seeing that Wan Xi was embarrassed, Lan Feng asked, "When will you come back with me to see Uncle Su?"
"No!" Wan Xi immediately became angry when she heard Lan Feng's words, "I don't want to marry that Zhao Peng, I want to be with brother Lan Feng!"
Lan Feng wiped Wan Xi's nose and said, "Silly girl, how can you disobey your parents' orders? Besides, I'm back now. Even if you get married, we can see each other often."
"This is different!" Wan Xi said angrily, "If I want to marry, I will marry you, and I won't marry that young master!"
"Wan Xi..." Lan Feng was about to speak, but Wan Xi blocked her with her index finger.
Wan Xi said: "Okay, let's talk about this early in the morning. Brother Lanfeng, why did you come back suddenly this time without telling us in advance?"
Lanfeng thought of what happened in Jinshan Temple and said: "Although I have returned to secular life, the abbot has been kind to me. This time, I was entrusted by him to attend the Longevity Mountain Ceremony. And..."
Having said this, Lan Feng thought of Kui Mulang again and said, "Wan Xi, please change your clothes first. I will take you to meet someone later."
Wan Xi nodded obediently. Lanfeng closed the door and went down to the place where the singing stage was yesterday. He saw Kuimulang holding on to the railing and looking at the boundless river from a distance, so he walked forward.
"Brother Kui, are you up so early?" Lan Feng asked.
Kui Mulang said: "Yes, it's been a long time since I calmed down and looked at the beautiful scenery of the mortal world. Although the Heavenly Palace is beautiful, it will lose a lot of color if it is not accompanied by the one you love. Little brother Lanfeng, you should also do it yourself Seize the opportunity and don’t let yourself regret it..."
The morning mist reveals the spring sun, which shines on Lanfeng's face. He looked at the place where he grew up and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Seven years ago, he had no choice but to leave, which was bitter; now that he is back, things have changed and people have changed, which is still bitter.
But this is what happens in this world. I gave you a two-foot-long roof to shelter you from the wind and rain, and gave you fish, meat, and grains to feed you, but I didn’t carve out a pure land for your restless heart...
"Brother Lanfeng!!" Wanxi's cry calmed Lanfeng's mind, and he turned around. But he didn't want to be bumped into by Wan Xi, so he rubbed Wan Xi's head and said, "Wan Xi, this is brother Kui who came with me."
Wan Xi glanced at Kui Mulang and said with a smile: "Hello, Brother Kui, my name is Wan Xi!"
Kui Mulang was stunned when he saw Wan Xi calling him, and then said: "You are Lan Feng's sister..."
Wan Xi nodded, then leaned into Lan Feng's ear and said, "Who is this brother? Although his clothes are a little old, he looks so cool!"
Kui Mulang heard Wan Xi's whisper and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
"Wan Xi, this is one of the reasons why I came back to find you. Brother Kui is looking for someone." Lan Feng said.
Wan Xi asked doubtfully: "You're looking for someone, not me, right?"
Lan Feng's face became serious. He didn't know whether he should tell Wan Xi about Kui Mulang's identity. He glanced at Kuimulang, who nodded to indicate that he was fine. Lanfeng sighed and told Wan Xi about Kuimulang and Baihuaxi...
Old things were brought up again, Wan Xi listened and held Lan Feng's hand tightly. At the end of the sermon, this young girl was also moved by it.
Lan Feng said: "Wan Xi, I hope you can take us to the place where you once met Senior Bai Huashian, so that Brother Kui can fulfill his thousand-year wish."
Wan Xi said: "I haven't been there for many years, and I don't know if that temple is still there." Speaking of this, Wan Xi thought for a moment and then said, "Forget it, let's leave after I pack up."
Kui Mulang thanked Wan Xi and saw that Wan Xi had gone back to the room first. Lan Feng and Kui Mulang waited here. After a while, I saw Wan Xi and the proprietress of Yizhu walking down from a distance. Lan Feng and the two stepped forward to greet them. The proprietress of Yizhu was also thoughtful when she saw Lan Feng coming.
It was dark last night, and she only saw the sapphire beads on Lan Feng's neck, but she didn't expect that there was a wisteria gourd sandwiched between the beads.
Lan Feng stepped forward to salute, and the proprietress of the lost bead took advantage of the situation and touched the gourd. She was shaken and felt a burst of fire coming from her hands. She quickly retracted her hand, and the anger she felt faintly was suppressed by the sapphire beads...
Yi Zhu said: "Boy, I don't know who you are. But it seems that these beads and gourds were given by experts. I don't know whether they are to protect you or to suppress you." As she said this, she turned to face Wan Xi said, "Sister, since you recognize him as your brother, I won't say much and act cautiously."
Wan Xi nodded her thanks, and the three of them said goodbye to Chunjiang Tower and walked away. Little did they know that the proprietress turned back to her room and came to a statue of Guanyin enshrined there. She held an orchid in her hand and condensed a drop of dew onto the head of the statue, causing ripples to appear out of thin air. The Guanyin statue actually spoke.
"How's it going? What did you find?" Guanyin said.
Yi Zhu shook her head and said: "There is no Bodhisattva, but this fire is not like phoenix fire. It does have an evil spirit..."
The Guanyin statue said again: "It's not the best. If it's really Phoenix Fire, we have to take action as soon as possible."
Yi Zhu heard: "Don't you need to report it to the Buddha?"
The Guanyin statue said: "What are you reporting him for? If war breaks out again, innocent people will still be implicated."
"Yes..." Yi Zhu nodded and responded, then withdrew his body and looked at the direction in which Lan Feng and his group were leaving.
