[Lu Xiaofeng] Looking at the sea by leaning on flowers

With the Iron Shoes incident over, Taohuabao finally has a somewhat festive atmosphere.The guests were poisoned before, and their bodies were still weak. Hua Ruling felt very sorry, and asked all the guests to stay for a little longer. It coincided with the Menghe Lantern Festival, and everyone did not refuse the kindness of the Hua family, except for a few incidents. Those who were alive continued to stay in Peach Blossom Castle.

Li Canghai was not in a hurry to leave, Huamanlou had already invited her to enjoy the lantern show at night, and it was said that there would be fireworks at that time.

In the city, there are thousands of lights, on the water, there is a river of stars, and there are fireworks that fill the sky like flowers.A group of four people, exactly Lu Xiaofeng, Jin Jiuling, Hua Manlou and Li Canghai, walked through the bustling streets, stopped at the bridge of Menghe, and chatted.

"Lu Xiaofeng, choosing the day is worse than hitting the day," Jin Jiuling smiled meaningfully, "How about we take a gamble?"

Talking about the game of gambling, Lu Xiaofeng never tired of it: "What are we betting on?"

Hua Manlou waved his fan and smiled, while Li Canghai watched from the sidelines while touching his sleeves.Jin Jiuling asked: "Do you think how many river lanterns are there in this river?" Lu Xiaofeng knew that he didn't know, but heard the other party say seriously, "I said that there are [-] river lanterns, and one is not. A lot, a lot."

Hua ManLou laughed.Lu Xiaofeng asked suspiciously, "Are you so sure?"

"You will know by counting." Jin Jiuling suggested grandly.

Li Canghai bent his lips quietly, and looked at the little phoenix, which claimed to be smart, counting the river lanterns one by one. Seeing Jin Jiuling sneak away, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and suddenly saw Huamanlou silently facing him. She made a gesture, slightly surprised, then smiled secretly, her toes changed silently, and with a slight step, she had already left the river bridge far away.

"Hua Man Lou, I didn't expect that you, an upright gentleman, would have such fun." The young man in white came lightly, just like Qinghui under the mortal night.Li Canghai felt a little dazed, so he laughed aloud.

Hua Manlou said warmly, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Li Canghai laughed and asked: "Is that guy still counting lights?" After getting an affirmative answer, he felt emotional, "All of Lu Xiaofeng's friends like to see his jokes."

"Isn't it the same in Canghai?" The young master smiled slightly.

Li Canghai nodded logically, and said with a smile: "I don't know why, I feel happy when I see Lu Xiaofeng is unlucky." This is a loss of friendship, I think she really recognized Lu Xiaofeng in her heart.

"Because he is a smelly and hard bastard." Hua Manlou explained the reason for her.

After saying that, the two smiled at each other, and they went to visit the night market together.

"Fire trees and silver flowers are never in the night." Walking on the bustling street, Li Canghai looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky, thoughtfully, "The world is full of chaos, no wonder how many practitioners are blinded by the glitz and cannot be stable Dao heart."

The folding fan suddenly paused, and Hua Manlou asked softly, "Why is Cang Hai so emotional?"

"I was taken up the mountain by my master when I was three years old. After I avenged my family at the age of ten, I closed the mountain for retreat." Li Canghai did not answer his question directly, but explained in a low voice, "It was not until I left the customs last year and encountered an accident, that I went down the mountain and entered the mundane world. I can't bear the troubles of the world of mortals, and I have practiced for many years. I only thought that my Taoist heart was strong, but unexpectedly..." I have to worry about it, but my heart is disturbed, and I am almost lost.

"It's no fault of me that I have come to this world of mortals for a while, and I'm worried about it." After a moment of silence, Huamanlou explained in a soft voice, "As long as you keep your mind clear, you can either do something or not. , is enough.”

Li Canghai sighed: "This is the biggest difference between you and Master."

Hearing this, Hua Manlou was slightly taken aback: "Could it be that Hua is similar to Venerable Master?"

"It's the impression of others." Li Canghai couldn't say clearly. The reason why she had a good impression of this person at the beginning was not only the inherent good impression in her previous life, but also some factors of master's respect. "It's just that master doesn't care. If you stick to the dust, you are like an immortal, but you will go deep into the mundane world and love the world of mortals."

Hua Manlou shook his head and smiled lightly: "I am an ordinary person, how can I compare to a respected teacher."

"I suddenly feel that you are completely different from Master, and it doesn't matter if you compare or not." Li Canghai laughed.Huamanlou loves human beings and life, and naturally loves all kinds of joys and sorrows in this world of mortals, which is quite different from people who practice and seek the Tao.

"Huamanlou is a blind man, he doesn't seek the Tao, he doesn't seek to become a fairy," Huamanlou said softly, his words were full of satisfaction, "I just want to live happily and enjoy the pleasures of every season, Listening to the sound of snowflakes falling on the roof, feeling the wonderful vitality of flower buds slowly opening in the spring breeze, smelling the fragrance of leaves blown by the autumn wind from the distant mountains..."

What Li Canghai remembers most about Huamanlou is the remarks at the beginning of the novel. Now that he has heard what he said with his own ears, and seeing his calm and happy face, his heart has been gently touched, and there is ice in his heart The words of the spring breeze and drizzle melted away.

"Hua Man Lou." Li Canghai said with a faint smile, "You are really a person who is very easy to impress others." Taoism avoids "attachment". In fact, in her opinion, Hua Man Lou's state of mind and mentality are far stronger than hers. Suitable for seeking Tao, but he loves everything in the world too much, and he is doomed not to be immortal.Taoism avoids "attachment" but has to "read".

Li Canghai's words obviously made Huamanlou very happy.He said happily: "If you really look at Hua in this way, Hua will feel very happy."

The woman said sincerely: "I don't tell lies to my friends." Then sighed softly, "I understand the happiness you said." In the past, when she was a child, she was happy and happy, even now , she will also enjoy this fun while she is practicing, "It's just that some things have become obsessions. After a long time, they will be imprisoned," she smiled. "The pursuit of the Dao is really a big obstacle. During my travels, Yuan also wanted to gain some insights and break an attachment."

Unexpectedly, Dao Xin was shaken, and his obsession deepened.so……

"I've been down the mountain for a long time," Li Canghai said quietly, "I should be going back." She quietly looked at the young master beside her, "Hua Man Lou, it's great to know you, but in the future, the world will be far and wide, no matter how difficult it will be." See you."

Huamanlou was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, a firework rose into the sky, burst into bloom, like meteors raining down, causing the crowd to gasp in amazement.As if returning to his senses, the young master asked the woman softly, "From now on, you won't go down the mountain anymore?" He didn't know where her so-called "mountain" was, but from the fact that no one knew about the Happy School, she I am afraid that the place to go back to is really high and dangerous, isolated from the world.

In fact, he wanted to ask a lot, and he wanted to say a lot, but every time he could feel the stubbornness in her words, he contradictoryly didn't want to force her.

Li Canghai smiled leisurely: "Not really." She finally revealed the real motive of this conversation, "Over the past year, I accidentally made three friends," Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, Sikong Zhaoxing, she didn't care Many, but if you care about it, you will naturally treat them sincerely, "If they encounter extreme suffering or bliss, I will naturally help them or send congratulations."

In other words, she would only appear if their lives were in danger, or if they got married and had children.

The topic went round and round, but it was because she felt Hua Manlou's affection for her, and she... was not unmoved.Just that little bit of joy is enough to disturb her mind and shake the ideas she has always adhered to, which inevitably makes her worry more and more that she will miss her practice due to emotional barriers.

Since Hua Manlou didn't directly express this affection, she first and indirectly put an end to each other's thoughts - just a little bit of heartbeat.

"Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zaixing are all libertines, so this kind of heart is probably in vain." Li Canghai continued to laugh, staring at the young master's smiling face, "Hua Manlou, your martial arts are so good, probably not so good I am in danger, so..." After a little hesitation, she said softly, "Probably only when you get married, I will go down the mountain again, and then I will give you a big gift."

Hua Manlou froze suddenly.

Just when the atmosphere between the two was a little weird, Lu Xiaofeng's lively and lively voice floated over: "Hey, Hua Manlou, Li Canghai, you two guys!" Isn't it interesting, to deliberately play tricks on me together with Jin Jiuling."

Li Canghai smiled and asked, "Have you finished counting the river lanterns?"

Hua Manlou also seemed to have regained his mood, he shook his folding fan lightly, and then asked: "But [-]?"

Lu Xiaofeng glared at them annoyedly: "Just look at my jokes, the river lanterns can't be counted!" He said bitterly, "That guy Jin Jiuling lost a bet on the iron shoe case, and he still owes the bet , see you next time, I must make him dig earthworms for nine days and nine nights!"

"What a boring bet." Li Canghai laughed.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at her proudly: "Li Canghai, why are you as uninterested as Huamanlou? You must know that after Jin Jiuling dug up this earthworm, I can go boating and fishing beautifully, with a fishing rod and a few jars of wine, and I will devote myself to Between mountains and rivers, what a joy!"

Hua Manlou smiled and shook his head.

"Hey, I'm talking about Li Canghai," the three of them walked together, and with Lu Xiaofeng around, they couldn't help being more active, "I vaguely heard you say 'up and down the mountain' earlier, are you leaving?"

Li Canghai said in a low voice: "You have been following me for a long time, didn't you overhear clearly?" She originally wanted to be a guest at Peach Blossom Castle and leave with the Jianghu people, but when she was alone with Huamanlou just now, her thoughts became more and more serious. He felt that he couldn't stay any longer, and planned to express his heart and leave immediately, but he was disturbed by this eavesdropping phoenix.

Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said, "I think I'm hiding it well! But," he smiled meaningfully, "I can hear you clearly, you said that we can come to you if we encounter difficulties or happy events, are you serious?"

"Of course, you don't need to talk about happy events. It's just difficult things. I'm not talking about your troubles." Li Canghai curled his lips. "If your life is in danger or you have an incurable disease, come to me again."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, I, Lu Xiaofeng, am not someone who makes things difficult for my friends." Instead, he asked in embarrassment, "It's just that when the time comes, where should I go to find you?"

Li Canghai smiled indifferently: "I have a peregrine falcon that stays in the Baihualou of Huamanlou. If you are in a hurry, let it send a message to me. I will come as soon as possible."

Lu Xiaofeng laughed and yelled: "Hey, you're too partial to one another. If I'm really in a hurry, I have to go to Huamanlou to get your peregrine falcon."

Knowing that he was joking, Li Canghai said, "It's really such an emergency, you must ask Hua Manlou for help first!"

In fact, all three of them understood that keeping the peregrine falcon was just in case, to keep a contact.

"Your instructions," Lu Xiaofeng said clearly, "Yomo intends to leave right away? You're a girl, so don't drive at night. Besides, the curfew will come soon, do you plan to stay in the wild?"

Hua Manlou was stunned, and then said: "Lu Xiaofeng is right, Cang Hai, you haven't had a good rest in the past few days, so you can rest at Peach Blossom Castle tonight, so you can leave later."

Li Canghai hesitated for a moment: She really didn't need to be in such a hurry, but she just had a feeling that after the iron shoes were arrested, it seemed that every time she stayed by Huamanlou's side, it would become more intense.

"Li Canghai, don't leave in a hurry," Lu Xiaofeng said at this moment, "There is a person, I'm afraid I need your help to heal him."

It turns out that Hua Ruling's health has been deteriorating in the past two years. It is because he realizes that he will die soon and cares about Huamanlou the most in his heart that he accepts Song Wencao's suggestion and let Lu Xiaofeng pretend to be iron shoes to solve Huamanlou's heart disease.

Now that he knows that Song Wencao is an iron shoe, and that Hua Ruling's illness has always been seen by him, Lu Xiaofeng naturally has doubts, so he uses this reason to keep Li Canghai. Apart from being really worried about Hua Ruling, it happens to be able to help a friend give her up. stay.
