Shangxian GL

The cherry blossom tree in Qingxiao Hall has grown into a spirit, transformed by Lan Yuan with immortal techniques, blooming in winter and spring, white in spring and pink in winter, when the breeze blows at this moment, the snow-white petals begin to fall melodiously, like this A heavy snowfall in the spring was so beautiful that the cherry blossom elves were giggling on the trees, and their clear laughter like a child broke the dead silence outside the temple.

Lan Yuan stretched out his hand to pick up a petal, feeling a little suddenly, "Another year has begun, Li Tang."

She looked down at the people around her, "How old are you?"

Li Tang's face collapsed as she watched her silent, his eyes were clearly accusing her of not remembering her age.

Lan Yuan pinched her little face lightly and smiled, "You think I'm not happy because I don't remember?"

"No, who cares that you remember!" If you stay in the cabinet all day long, who knows who you will remember.

Lan Yuan gently hugged her in his arms and watched the cherry blossoms flying all over the sky, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's already spring, my Li Tang should be 14 years old this year, right?"

Shaking the person who was reluctant but not struggling in his arms, Lan Yuan was in a good mood, "Tell me, what kind of birthday present do you want?"

"I want to get out of the Qingxiao Temple, and I want to go down the mountain to practice."

"It's fine to get out of the Qingxiao Palace." Lan Yuan reached out and took a few petals, held them in his palm and blew them, causing the cherry blossom elves to come and chase those petals, and the joyful laughter was very clear.

Lan Yuan's gaze sank, he looked up at the huge cherry blossom tree and said, "You can't practice down the mountain."

"Why?" Li Tang Buyi, frowning at Lan Yuan, rubbing the hem of his clothes vigorously.

Lan Yuan caught a glimpse of her tangled little movements and was amused, and touched her face, "I stay in the cabinet all year round, and I seldom even come out of Qingxiao Temple. If you go down the mountain, it will be inconvenient for me to see you."

"Then you set a date for me. I'll come back on time. You also said that you stay in the cabinet for a long time, and I'm bored by myself."

When Li Tang said this, he was upset, very upset.

"Does Xiao Litang mean that you want me to accompany you more?" Lan Yuan smiled, and the cherry blossom elves chased the petals and flew back to see her smiling. They seemed to be infected by her and started laughing and circling around her Son, the cherry blossoms in the sky are flying again.

Li Tang lowered his head and whispered, "I'm just... um..."

It was not possible to go down the mountain to practice, but Lanyuan lifted Li Tang's imprisonment for going down the mountain, and there were three chapters of the agreement.

First, you are not allowed to stay outside.

Second, outsiders are not allowed to be brought near Qingxiao Hall.

Third, if you encounter a monster and want to blow the spiritual whistle given by Lan Yuan, you can't fight hard.

These rules are very old-fashioned, even if Lan Yuan didn't tell Li Tang, he would follow suit, and he agreed immediately. The thought of leaving Qingxiao Palace, Li Tang was so excited that he ran around the cherry tree several times, and even pulled Lan Yuan After turning around for a few times, I completely forgot that it was Lan Yuan who prevented her from going down the mountain before, and a child is a child.

Litang was overwhelmed with joy when he left Qingxiao Palace for the first time. He held Lanyuan with his little hand and asked with an innocent face, "Lanyuan Lanyuan, do I need to bring anything? I have to bring food. What about the clothes, do you bring them? My clothes are a little too small, what should I do?"

Li Tang looked at the clothes on her body with some distress, maybe she grew up a little faster, and the clothes became smaller, which looked a little strange.

Lan Yuan also found it funny looking at it, and pulled her around, and then the clothes on her body changed immediately, they fit very well, and she was dressed in a light red dress like a little fairy girl.

Li Tang happily touched the skirt on her body, and turned it around again, the skirt turned into a small circle, which was really pretty.

Shiluo and Yuqi walked into Litang's room together, and seeing Lanyuan shouted in unison, "I've seen Master!"

"Shiluo, Yuqi, Litang and I are going out for three days. There is nothing to take care of in Qingxiao Palace. You just take care of yourself and don't get into disputes with others and cause trouble."

"Yes! The disciple respects the order of the teacher!"

Both of them took orders seriously and respectfully.

"Sister Shiluo, sister Yuqi, do you think my new clothes look good?" Li Tang happily ran up to them to show off, and the thought of being able to go out to play in the Qingxiao Palace made her a little curious Not knowing where to go, I circled around them several times.

"Looks good, looks good, Xiao Litang looks good in anything."

Shi Luo knelt down and gently pinched her face.

"Li Tang, let's go." Lan Yuan stepped out of the room with light steps.

Yuqi squatted down and hugged Litang, "Let's go, sister will see you off."

"Hey, wait for me." Shi Luo hurriedly followed them.

When they got to the yard, Li Tang ran to the cherry blossom tree and looked at the cherry blossom elf and said, "I'll definitely catch you when I come back!"

The cherry blossom elf sat on the tree dangling her legs and looked at her angry little face with a "giggle" smile, as if she didn't know what she was talking about.

Li Tang, the cherry blossom elf, was a little frustrated, so he made a face at her and ran to Lan Yuan's side, "Let's go."

Li Tang happily stepped onto Baiyun, and waved to Shi Luo Yuqi, "Let's go, see you sisters!"

The speed of the cloud's movement was so fast that she hugged Lan Yuan in a hug.

Lan Yuan trembled slightly, the cloud was about to turn over, Li Tang hugged Lan Yuan even tighter in fright, and his voice trembled a little, "Lan Yuan, can you drive the cloud?"

After calming down, Lan Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. He never thought that he had lived for a thousand years. Today, he was hugged by a little girl and almost fell from the clouds. Wouldn't it make people laugh when he said it.

Seeing Li Tang holding her hands tightly around her waist, her little face turned pale with fright, she touched Li Tang's hand a little funny, "If you are afraid, hold my hand tightly."

After a while, Li Tang was finally willing to let go of Lan Yuan's waist and put his hand in hers, and then he felt relieved, feeling that Lan Yuan's hands were different from the ones in the past, warm and a little high.

"Lan Yuan, where are we going now?"

Li Tang looked at the green mountains and green waters under his feet and asked, and occasionally he could see some smoke rising from the kitchen. Those were the houses of ordinary people.

"Go see an old friend first."

Lan Yuan glanced at her, his eyes suddenly drifted far away in front of him, as if he remembered something, his eyes were a little dim.

Li Tang has never seen her look so serious. Is this old friend of hers a deceased person?

Li Tang didn't ask, but silently grasped her hand tightly.

After flying for half a day until noon, Li Tang took Lan Yuan's hand, "Lan Yuan, I'm hungry."

Looking at her with black bright eyes, she no longer had the excitement of the morning, and now she was sitting on the cloud and yawning lazily, but she forgot that this little guy has not yet become a fairy, and is a child who needs supplementary nutrition.

With a wave of Lan Yuan's hand, the cloud began to slowly descend, and then the two landed in an empty alley, Lan Yuan picked up a veil embroidered with cherry blossoms to cover her face, obviously she didn't want people to see her appearance.

"Lanyuan, is this the world? It's so lively!"

It was the first time for Li Tang to go down to earth, and she was surprised to see everything. Even the people in the street full of linen and plain clothes made her feel amazing. After wandering around the crowd, she pointed to a little brother selling candied haws and looked up. Looking at Lan Yuan, "What is that person holding in his hand?"

"If you like it, go and ask."

It's not that Lanyuan didn't tell her, it's just that Lanyuan didn't know what it was. She didn't eat for many years and didn't go down to earth. Apart from knowing that she had to pay for the food, she didn't know anything else like Li Tang. But she is cold by nature, and she is not curious about these mortal things.

Li Tang walked up to the little brother and raised his smile, "May I ask what is that in your hand?"

"This is called candied haws. Would you like a bunch of them, kid?"

The little brother felt that the little girl was very cute, so he took down a bunch of candied haws and gave it to her.

Li Tang took it and licked it lightly, ran back and brought it in front of Lan Yuan, and said with a smile, "Lan Yuan is so sweet and delicious, do you want to try it?"

As soon as she handed the candied haws over, she realized that Lan Yuan couldn't taste the veil on her face, but when she was about to take it back, she saw Lan Yuan gracefully and slowly took off the veil, leaned over and licked the candied haws on her hand lightly. A strand of hair slipped down leisurely and swayed gently, and the people around were all stunned when they saw her appearance, and the bustling market became inexplicably quieter for a while.

"Well, it's delicious." Lan Yuan said with a smile, put on the veil again, took out the money and handed it to the stunned little brother, then led Li Tang to continue walking.

There was a commotion behind him, Li Tang turned around and saw a lot of people rushing to buy that little brother's candied haws, and he didn't understand what was going on.

Li Tang looked here and there on the street, thinking that kites are very interesting, masks are very interesting, sugar figures are also very rare, this mortal world is really an interesting place.

Suddenly there was a lively sound from behind, Lan Yuan led Li Tang to the side of the road, and then a row of welcoming teams passed by with gongs and drums, very lively.

Li Tang stretched out her small head to look at them. When the bride's sedan chair passed by, the wind gently opened the curtains. She vaguely saw the bride's face through the gap, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's so beautiful."

After the group of people passed by, Lan Yuan glanced at her, "I look good?"

Although Lan Yuan wore a veil, the smile at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes still made her smile appear in Li Tang's mind, like the cherry blossoms all over the sky, sometimes gentle and melodious and sometimes wild.

Li Tang has to admit that Lan Yuan is really good-looking, especially when she smiles, there is a bit of indecency in her seriousness, which always makes her want to avoid the penetrating gaze but also want to see that charming smile.

Not getting a response from Li Tang, Lan Yuan pulled her hand and asked again, "Is she prettier or am I prettier?"

"Didn't you say that you are the most beautiful among the immortals?" Li Tang broke away from her hand and muttered softly, "Of course you are the prettiest."

Hearing what she said, Lan Yuan was in a good mood, touched her face, smiled and said nothing.

Li Tang dodged her hand for a while, but she didn't dodge it. The cool fingers touched her skin, causing a slight numbness in the scalp, which soon disappeared. She looked at the people in front of them beating gongs and drums and asked Lan Yuan, "Who are those people?" What are you doing?"

"Welcome."

"Welcome? Why do you want to welcome?"

The two asked Li Tang as they walked, as if they wanted to know everything.

"Ordinary people can hold a marriage ceremony. Before getting married, the groom has to take the bride home. This is called welcoming the bride." Probably guessing that Li Tang would ask what marriage is, Lan Yuan continued, "Generally speaking, two people fall in love with each other. , make an appointment to stay together for a lifetime, and get married after obtaining the consent of both parents."

"What does it mean to be together forever?"

Li Tang really had a lot of questions, Lan Yuan was a little amused, and chose a straightforward explanation, "It's just being together all the time."

"Then if we've been together all the time, don't we want to get married too?"

Li Tang licked the candied haws, and imagined Lan Yuan's appearance in a bright red wedding dress, it should look even better than this long snow-white dress.

Lan Yuan stared at her little head for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing with a "puchi", and the image of Gao Leng disappeared instantly.

Li Tang didn't know what was wrong with her, and looked at her strangely, "Am I not right?"

"No, no," Lan Yuan laughed for a long time before stopping, squatting down and pinching Li Tang's little face, "We can get married when you grow up, and then...you will know."

Hearing what Lan Yuan said, Li Tang immediately wanted to go back on his word. Seeing Lan Yuan's exaggerated smile, he really didn't think getting married was a good thing. I don't know why the bride still had a smile on her face.

After a simple meal at the inn, the two started on their way again, and after another half a day, the two finally arrived at Yunmu Mountain. It was already dark when they landed, which was just right, so as not to cause trouble if others saw it.

At night, Yunmu Mountain was eerily quiet. Li Tang held Lan Yuan's hand tightly and followed her carefully, "Lan Yuan, does your old friend live here? It looks so eerie here."

Lan Yuan took a look at her cautious appearance, pinched her face amusedly, "If you are afraid, hold my hand tightly."

Lan Yuan is not afraid and does not need to light a lamp in this darkness, but for Li Tang's sake, she conjures up a lamp, which is not very bright but makes Li Tang feel at ease.

Bypassing the empty house, Lan Yuan led Li Tang to a room at the back of the house. With a light wave of his sleeve, the door opened automatically. It creaked because it was old. It was extra harsh and frightening, Li Tang subconsciously clenched Lan Yuan's hand.

After entering, Lan Yuan lit the candlestick inside, and the whole room began to glow with warm and soft candlelight. At this moment, Li Tang saw a memorial tablet on the table. She didn't know what was written on it, so she raised her head and asked Lan Yuan, "This is your old friend?"

Lan Yuan didn't answer her, let go of her hand, took a step forward and took a bunch of incense on the table and lit it on the candle, didn't pray, just closed her eyes and meditated, then she opened her eyes and inserted the incense in the candle. On the incense table, he took another bouquet of incense and lit it, turned around and handed it to Li Tang.

"You also come to offer a stick of incense."

"En." Li Tang took the incense, bowed respectfully and was about to rub the incense on, when Lan Yuan suddenly stopped her, "Kneel down and pray again."

Li Tang didn't understand why, but seeing Lan Yuan's serious face didn't seem like she was joking, she bowed respectfully again, patted her skirt, looked up at Lan Yuan as if she wanted to ask something , but she opened her mouth and didn't ask anything. Lan Yuan's expression now was a dignified expression she had never seen before.

"Let's go." With a wave of Lan Yuan's sleeve, the room suddenly darkened, and Li Tang was so frightened that he threw himself into her arms, which shocked her too.

"Don't be afraid," Lan Yuan patted her on the back lightly, and felt her hand to hold, "I'm here, you hold my hand, don't be afraid."

Feeling the warmth of Lan Yuan's hand, Li Tang was finally relieved to hold it back and forth.

Afterwards, the two of them went out and took the cloud to leave Yunmu Mountain overnight, and the place returned to dead silence.
