Fairy King's Handbook

Chapter 10 A Red Peony under the Moon

Why did Yan Chongming go?Meng Zhen didn't think that he went to a certain restaurant to work as a waiter.It's just that there is still a three-month limit for the Xunxin Pavilion, which I don't know until now.Meng Zhen didn't say much, and prepared to leave with a little salute.

"My lord, are you still determined to go to Wushan to travel in the clouds?" The tall man asked puzzled seeing that Meng Zhen was going out.

"Humph! Not everyone can afford fine clothes and fine food!" The man named Yu Sheng simply turned his head aside, disdainful to say anything.

"Everyone, I really misunderstood. I didn't know the rules here when I first arrived. I just went out to have a look." Meng Zhen had no choice but to explain.

"Then why are you wearing this outfit? Ji Wuxing's stuff, if you wear it, it means you're going to Wushan to walk the clouds by default." The tall man said kindly.

"Why can't I wear new clothes? Even if I wear them, it doesn't mean I'm going to be a man's pet. The clothes look good, and they should be worth some money if they are pawned."

Meng Zhen couldn't help laughing, this group of people almost had nothing to eat, and they still stick to this pedantic rules, they are so cute.

He said no more, rolled up his sleeves, and left the Xinxin Pavilion.

At dusk, the lights are shining, the pavilions are hidden, and what is coming is a world of fireworks that has never been seen before. It is prosperous for three thousand miles, and the laughter and laughter are all talking in dreams.

This is a bustling long street that is completely different from the daytime. Rows of red lanterns drive away the night, unscrupulously illuminating every corner, as if all the people came out at once. On the long street, there are men and women in fragrant clothes Talking and laughing, in the attic, red sleeves are everywhere.Walking here, it is difficult to calm down and not participate in this grand carnival.

Meng Zhen somewhat understands the righteous indignation of those people in the Xinxin Pavilion. There seems to be a gap between the hustle and bustle here and the cleanliness of the Xinxin Pavilion. They are all young people, so they naturally love the prosperity like a dream. Of course, they also have the self-esteem of men. , I don't want to go to Wushan to travel in the clouds in exchange for this wealth.

Tsk tsk, Ji Wuxing is really good at enjoying himself.

Meng Zhen left as he wished, and he hadn't seen this scene again for many years. Surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the world, the air might be filled with the smell of fireworks.Alas, Xiaoli is not here after such a lively scene, that child likes these things the most.

The shops along the street display rows of candies, including rabbit candies, rooster candies, deer candies, turtle candies, tiger candies, monkey candies... various shapes are dizzying.Meng Zhen rummaged through the storage bag, and there were some silver coins in it when he took Shen Li to travel around the world in the early years.He took them out without any hesitation, and bought some in various shapes until the bag was full. This time he gave Xiaoli a pleasant surprise.

Walking through the long street and turning a corner, the buildings on both sides of the street are brightly lit, the pavilions are four or five stories high, with cornices and corners, luxurious and rich, more lively than the previous street full of shops.If you look carefully, there are inscriptions on the plaques in the attic.There are auction houses and gambling houses that spend a lot of money, there are also red sleeve pavilions full of beauties, and there is even Baihualou, which is a real place to enjoy flowers and wait for the moon, and enjoy tea and wine.

The wind and the moon meet each other, and the elegance and vulgarity share.

There is a row of high-rise buildings in front of me, and I don't know where to go.Forget about the gambling house, he is not bad if he is unlucky, the key is that he has no money in his pocket.Hongxiu Pavilion is even more unacceptable, it is necessary to keep clean and self-conscious, and to establish a good master image for Shen Li.There are still Baihualou and the auction house left.

A bunch of people gathered at the entrance of the auction house, as if there was some rare treasure to be auctioned.Meng Zhen also came over and heard the people at the door talking about it, saying that there is a mysterious treasure appearing on the stage tonight, and you have to go inside to find out what it is.

Meng Zhen wanted to go in with the crowd to see what the mysterious treasure was, but was stopped by a servant at the door, and only after asking did he find out that there was actually a fee for admission.Meng Zhen patted the candy in the storage bag, and almost asked if he could use the candy to exchange for a chance to enter the arena. Thinking about Shen Li's eyes shining when he saw the candy, he decided to forget it.

If Baihualou also requires an entrance fee, then it's time to go back.Sure enough, without money, it is almost impossible to move an inch.

Baihua Building is not a single building, and it is a bit exaggerated to say that there are a hundred buildings. There are many attics connected together.Each kind of flower forms its own first floor, competing for splendor.Meng Zhen took a general look, and there were guards at every door, and there was a charge for it. It seemed that he really had to go back.

Just when Meng Zhen was about to go back, suddenly there was a loud voice behind him, running towards him, Meng Zhen was surprised for a moment, grabbed a passerby and asked, "What happened?"

"Oh, you don't even know this. You Ye Zitan, who is rare in a thousand years, came to the Epiphyllum Tower tonight. Anyone who has seen it can make a wish come true. I won't tell you, I have to go in quickly , I won’t be able to make a wish if it’s too late.” The man hastily finished speaking and went to the Epiphyllum Building.

There were hurried footsteps all around, obviously all heading for the Epiphyllum Building.Meng Zhen walked forward with the crowd, and saw that the boy at the door was collecting money, his hands were almost cramped, and the people behind were still squeezing in. Is this really a flower that can make a wish come true, or is it borrowed? It's unknown what this opportunity is to make money, so Meng Zhen had no choice but to withdraw.

It doesn't matter if you come out, people from the whole street are crowding towards Epiphyllum Building, the flower building next to it really responded to the phrase "People go to the building and the building is empty", even the young boy who charged the fee at the door disappeared.

Well, it's okay for me to go in and enjoy the flowers, right?

Meng Zhen looked at the flower buildings next to him, thinking about which flower to see.There are Xifu Begonias, Guanshan Wild Cherry Blossoms, Gentleman Huilan, ink chrysanthemums and stalks... until you see "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance".

There is a poem circulated in Yanjing, the imperial city on earth: "Only the peony is really beautiful, and it moves the capital when it blooms." It is about this flower. Meng Zhen has heard it many times, but has never seen it.

The whole journey was silent, it seemed that they were all attracted by You Ye Zitan who could make a wish.Pass through two corridors, cross a stone bridge, and open the bead curtain leading the way.

There is an endless wilderness in front of me, a bright moon floats among the clouds, and a breeze passes through the mountains and forests, leaving a silent echo.

Under the moon, the endless sea of ​​flowers is coming, full of youth.People can't help but slow down their breathing, for fear of disturbing the spirit of flowers blooming in the quiet night, each flower blooms seriously, and each flower is different.There are pink, scarlet, purple, red and white... There is no shyness, no self-admiration.Each flower stretches freely, the petals are layered on top of each other, dignified and generous, really worthy of the country's beauty and heavenly fragrance.

Meng Zhen gently walked around the sea of ​​flowers, and stopped beside a very large vermilion peony. Is this color called "Yipin Zhuyi", it is really beautiful.Next to it was a three-color flower, red, white and purple. The three colors are distinct and reflect each other. The flower is extraordinarily large, about the size of an open palm. Meng Zhen carefully covered it with his hand, wanting to compare it.

The soft sound of "Boom—" was especially abrupt in this silent sea of ​​flowers.

Hearing the prestige and looking around, suddenly a figure rushed over, Meng Zhen almost made a sound in shock, the black figure didn't seem to expect that there was someone here, and before Meng Zhen could make a sound, he covered his mouth and hooked his leg backwards Push Meng Zhen to the ground.

The soil on the ground was soft, and Meng Zhen was caught off guard and imprisoned, unable to move.Although these peony branches are not high, they are still covered by lying on the ground like this.

Meng Zhen shook his head and tried to make a sound, but he was covered even tighter, and every time he moved his hands and feet, the confinement became tighter.The person pressing on him should be a man, and his strength is not small.Meng Zhen was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe. It was really bad luck to suffer such a disaster.Since you can't struggle, why don't you think about how to get revenge for a while.

Meng Zhen didn't struggle anymore, and after a while the force that imprisoned him also loosened, suddenly there were noisy voices moving from far and near, the shouts outside shook the sky, and the sky was also bright and dark, it seemed that something major had happened.Then think of the sneakiness of the person on the body, it must be related to him.

Seeing that the force covering him was slack, Meng Zhen tried to open his mouth to take a breath, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was immediately covered again. Meng Zhen became angry and struggled hard.The man thought Meng Zhen was going to bite him, but saw Meng Zhen struggled all the time before he realized it, so he lowered his voice and said, "You are not allowed to speak, but let you breathe."

The drowsy Meng Zhen nodded vigorously, and the big hand that had been covering his mouth and nose was released.Meng Zhen quickly took a few breaths, and when the chest was less stuffy, he began to discuss: "I won't talk, brother, can you get off of me first, it hurts my arm."

From the moment he opened his mouth to speak, Meng Zhen felt that the person on his body seemed to be frozen, and he didn't hear an echo for a long time.

Meng Zhen thought that he didn't agree, and was about to discuss it again, but the man got up from him and gently supported him.Meng Zhen, who was free, did not say a word, his backhand was a catch, and he was ready to teach this unexpected guest a lesson.Unexpectedly, the one who has never missed a hand this time, just stretched out his hand this time, and was immediately caught again, and was crushed in the flower field before he could stand still, but this time the man didn't put him on top of him, but He was imprisoned in his arms, covering his mouth lightly.

"You are really dishonest."

The man's low voice sounded, and the faint breath brushed against his ears, causing a tingling itch.

Meng Zhen's head was so uncomfortable that he wanted to speak, but his mouth was covered again.He unconsciously stuck out the tip of his tongue and pushed against the palm of his hand.

Unexpectedly, the man was stiff all over, and immediately withdrew his hand as if being burned.

Meng Zhen took a quick breath and was about to speak, but he heard the man sigh helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Don't move, Meng Zhen."

This time it was Meng Zhen's turn to be stunned, lying there motionless, without blinking his eyes, totally unable to regain consciousness.

"Oh, it's me." The man helped Meng Zhen to sit up, looking into his eyes against the flickering firelight.

Under the bright moonlight, the man was sitting in the flower field with his black clothes pulled together, the moonlight outlined the delicate and familiar outline, his face was handsome, his eyes were cool and far away.

"Yan Tiger?" Meng Zhen finally found his voice.

"Well, it's me. I went out to investigate earlier and found some abnormalities. I was in a hurry to take action, but I didn't expect you to be here." Yan Chongming watched Meng Zhen explain seriously, and took out a large unopened flower from his arms after speaking. Flower bones.

"What is this?" Meng Zhen didn't expect that the anomaly Yan Chongming mentioned was a flower that could not be named, but upon closer inspection, the entire bud was dark purple in color, and it was about to bloom, and it seemed to have magical powers to fascinate people. Do not open your eyes.

"You Ye Zitan? Is it the flower that makes wishes come true?" Meng Zhen remembered the situation when those people rushed to see the flower before, but now it seems that they didn't see it, and Yan Chongming somehow picked it up.

"This flower was originally called Zimei. It is a flower unique to the demon world. Its blooming can confuse people's minds. After the demon world was destroyed, this flower should have disappeared. Now it suddenly appeared here. Fortunately, it was discovered in time." Banquet While explaining, Chongming put the purple flower bud on the ground, and then gathered the spiritual light in his right hand to strike at the flower bud.

Just as Meng Zhen was about to speak, Yan Chongming suddenly stretched out his left hand to cover his mouth and nose again.

This time Meng Zhen stood obediently on the same spot, beckoning him with his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Yan Chongming didn't speak, but responded with his eyes, motioning him to look at the flower.

The purple charm that was originally a flower bud has fully bloomed at this time, and the grand purple petals emit wisps of mist, like a giant net, imprisoning everyone around it.

Meng Zhen suddenly thought of what Yan Chongming said just now that the blooming of purple charm flowers can confuse people's minds, and then looked at the mist emitted.Immediately understood, he quickly stopped breathing, but Yan Chongming never let go of his hand.

Until the flower bloomed for a moment and then withered, Yan Chongming gathered his spiritual light and ignited a cluster of flames, turning the flower into ashes.

"Sorry, I was in a hurry and offended." Yan Chongming let go of his hand and solemnly apologized to Meng Zhen.

Yan Chongming actually apologized, Meng Zhen was completely surprised, and quickly said: "Thank you, Yanshan Lord".

Suddenly, I heard noisy people's voices boiling, from far to near.The two looked at each other, and they both fell down in the flower field in tacit understanding.All kinds of voices were heard, probably because of the theft of the Epiphyllum Building, which caused an uproar from the crowd, there were yelling, cursing, sighing, and of course there were various searches, so I checked the Guose Tianxiang Building here one by one.

The sea of ​​flowers is boundless, the night wind is blowing gently, and the lights are flickering.Both of them lay quietly without speaking.The noise came and went, and finally returned to silence.

"Very fragrant." Yan Chongming said suddenly in the silence.

"What?" Meng Zhen said.

"These peonies are very fragrant." Yan Chongming said it again, and then described it carefully like an explanation: "It's like the mountain wind blowing through the skin, like the warm candlelight in the ancient city, or like the stream flowing in April .”

"That's really good." Meng Zhen didn't know if the aroma could be described in this way, but if it was true, it must be a very beautiful and warm feeling.
