Chunfeng Gu

The carriage moved slowly, shrouded in mist, and the birds in the forest perched on the branches. As we walked deeper into the forest, after a few steps, we could see the clear stream, dozens of stones were scattered in the stream, and there were peach trees as fences beside it. Along the pond around the creek.The carriage stopped here, and a boy gently lifted the red curtain, smiled at the people inside: "Master, I will help you, be careful." After saying this, he helped the man sitting inside to get out of the carriage.

The man was dressed in dark blue clothes with black patterns, and he came down with the help of a boy, but he was born with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and his black hair was tied up in a crown. He was holding a little fox with white fur in his arms, and he was stroking it with one hand. Little fox head: "The old dragon king's birthday is today, I heard that he is very fond of the 'Biluochun' in the world, so I specially bought him a cake." After speaking, I took out a bamboo tube from my sleeve and handed it to the boy with a little red between his eyebrows. .

The boy bent over, with a flattering smile on his face, raised his hands and took the bamboo tube: "What is the master's order?"

"Bring me some brook water."

The little red boy nodded yes, and hurriedly went to fetch water from the stream, Xun Hua looked at the way he raised his buttocks to fetch water, and couldn't help smiling.If Lin Kong was there, Xu Hui kicked him into the water with one kick.

Thinking of Lingong, he regretted it a bit, and he was really reluctant to hurt him and drive him away, but when he thought of Linkong treating his child like this, he was still a little angry.

Last night, when I was about to go to bed, I suddenly received an invitation letter from the old Dragon King of the East China Sea, saying that it was his birthday tomorrow and hoped that he would come with Linkong.He wondered for a while why the old dragon king knew about Linkong, and he suddenly realized that what he forgot was all about Linkong.

"Master, the water is here." The boy smiled.

Xun Hua returned to his senses after hearing the words, glanced at the boy, and took the bamboo tube in his hand, "I heard that the tea brewed with the stream water here tastes very good, I think the old Dragon King will be very happy."

Hearing the words, the boy smiled and nodded. He did not wait for his master's response for a long time. He quietly looked at Xun Hua's expression, and saw that he seemed to be slightly regretful and slightly reluctant. The boy couldn't help saying: "Master, if you want to come The son is gone, let's go find him."

Seeing that Xun Hua slightly raised his eyebrows but ignored him, the boy thought for a while and asked, "Is Master Lin still the master's apprentice?"

Xun Hua was startled when he heard the words, and looked at the distance in a daze. After a long while, he walked towards the carriage without saying a word. The boy hurriedly followed, helped Xun Hua into the carriage, and put down the red curtain At that time, he said: "Master, I also want to be with you." As soon as this remark came out, Xun Hua was surprised.

Suddenly, I heard a "drive" from the groom outside, and the carriage continued on, very slowly.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, before leaving the forest, Xun Hua lightly lifted the red curtain and let out a cry, then let the boy step forward to help him down, and as soon as he landed, the boy looked around and asked, "Master , didn’t you go to the Dragon King?”

"No hurry, didn't you say you missed him?"

The boy blinked, thought for a while, finally understood what the master meant, and immediately smiled: "Is the master going to find Mr. Lin?" After driving away, he felt that life was very boring.

"Yes." Xun Hua replied.

But at this moment, the little fox in his arms was writhing wildly, and made an unknown sound from his throat, which seemed to be filled with anger and dissatisfaction. Seeing him like this, Xun Hua immediately stroked it to comfort him, but the little fox still kept on. She was struggling wildly, and her bright black eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Xun Hua knew that its injury was not healed, and it could not assume human form yet, so he couldn't help sighing, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Hearing the words, the little fox raised his eyes, and when he looked at Xun Hua, his paws danced in the air, and he grinned a little, as if angry. Xun Hua thought for a while, then frowned and asked, "Do you want to see Is it free?"

As soon as this remark came out, the little fox immediately suppressed his anger, and looked at Xun Hua with bright black eyes, as if he had already answered the word "yes".The boy can see clearly from the sidelines, and seeing the little fox like this, he feels disgusted with it even more in his heart.

It is said that all the alleys in the north of the city are selling antique calligraphy and paintings, and the four treasures of the study. The shopkeepers in these shops are usually doing abacus or dozing off. After dipping the pen in the ink, I looked at the sky for a long time, but I still didn't know what I wanted to paint, so the ink had quietly dripped on the paper, and when I thought about what to paint, I saw drops of ink on the paper.

Today a young man came here, dressed in red, with a folding fan swaying happily, with a gentle smile on his face like a spring breeze, he stepped on the ground paved with bluestone, his eyes full of smiles raised , closed the fan, and then saw him lighting the plaques of each shop with the handle of the fan.

"Ruyifang." The young master walked to a shop and read the three characters on the plaque.

When the shopkeeper heard the words, he immediately smiled and called out, "My lord, what do you want?"

The young master nodded, and then took out a scroll from his sleeve: "Look, how about my painting?" After speaking, he unfolded the scroll.

But seeing the mountains and mountains in the painting, the clear water is like a mirror, but with just a few strokes of light ink, it seems to be shrouded in clouds and smoke, and there are reflections of green mountains in the water, which seems real and unreal.The shopkeeper looked at it for a long time, and the young master also waited for a long time. When the shopkeeper rolled up the painting, he asked, "How is it?"

"I don't know who the young master is?" the shopkeeper asked with a bow.

Hearing this, Zhan Xiao opened the folding fan and shook it lightly: "Linkong. Sir, how about selling this painting to you?"

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper raised his hand, brushed his beard and nodded, and commented: "The landscapes and scenery are all painted vividly, with careful details. It can be seen that Mr. Lin must be a good painter, but if you put your paintings on me Ruyifang' In this small shop, the young master has been wronged."

Lin Kong shook his head when he heard the words: "How can you be wronged? I only sell this painting for five taels of silver. If you think it's too expensive, then...it's up to you." His tone was very gentle.

"Very good, very good, such a painting, how can you think it is expensive?" The shopkeeper smiled while twisting his beard, then turned around and ordered someone to fetch the silver, and when he turned around, he talked with Ling Kongqing for a while, and when he saw that the silver was brought, he took it Passed the money to Linkong, and wrote the bill with a pen.

Lin Kong folded his fans and bowed: "Thank you, sir." After finishing, he turned and left.

Walking out of the alley, it was still bustling as usual. He walked slowly with his eyes downcast. The idea of ​​selling paintings came to his mind last night. He finally felt that it would not be good to use magic to turn stones into silver. He also planned to return in a few days. In Qiongyun Kingdom, go back to that ruined temple, the pens, inks, papers and inkstones used for painting are all obtained by magic.

He never took back that piece of warm jade, he just thought that if he would never see Xun Hua again in this life, it would be useless to keep that jade.It's just that he remembered last night that his two paintings were left in that inn, he was restless all night, and he stayed in the inn until tomorrow morning, and the people there would still laugh at him when they saw him, it was meaningless to him, It was only from the mouth of the shopkeeper that Xun Hua had already left.

His painting is his soul, if someone destroys it, his soul will die, but now knowing that the painting should be with Xun Hua, he feels at ease.

He was engrossed in his thoughts, and suddenly found a person blocking his way, and then heard: "Lin Kong." Still as gentle as usual, Lin Kong was startled, and slowly raised his eyes, and saw that the person in front of him was Xun Xun magnificent.
