The sequel to the Legend of the White Snake

Chapter 8 Tangle Festival

The annual Qiqiao Festival is the busiest time in the city. The streets and alleys are filled with colorful lights, including lotus, lotus, peony, azalea, all kinds of colorful lanterns, among which Lotus lanterns are the most popular. Boys and girls are walking on the street one by one, inviting whoever they see to go with them. The streets and alleys were crowded with people.

Zixuan sent Xiao Wuyou to his sister's house to help take care of her during the day. Today is the first time since he and Yaoyao got married, and Yaoyao has been in labor for half a year, and she hasn't taken Yaoyao out for a long time. Play, have complained to him many times.

After dinner, Zixuan, Xiaobai, Qi Xiao, and Xiaoqing went out together and went to the street. The four of them had different expressions.

Zixuan looked at Yaoyao with a doting face, while protecting Yaoyao's side with the other hand, fearing that she would be bumped into, so he took care of her carefully.

Qi Xiao's side is different. Before Xiaoqing went out, she asked Xiaobai to help her dress up. She looked at the couples of men and women around her, and then took a peek at Qi Xiao's expression in the blink of an eye. She secretly looked forward to Qi Xiao's tonight Will you give her a present?

Qi Xiao kept looking forward, pretending to walk beside Xiaoqing as if nothing had happened, but looked at Xiaoqing from the corner of his eyes from time to time, every time Xiaoqing looked at him, he quickly retracted his gaze, and gently patted the chest on his chest with his right hand. In the pocket, it seemed that there was something in it that was afraid of falling out, afraid of being noticed by Xiaoqing, so she withdrew her hand unnaturally.

Yaoyao saw a stall selling lamps on the street, walked over, picked up a pink lotus lamp, turned to Zixuan and said:

"Master, look, this lotus lantern is so beautiful, shall we buy one too?"

"Since the lady likes it, it's naturally good." Zixuan raised the corner of his mouth, took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, and handed it to the vendor at the stall.He raised his hand to pick up a white lotus lantern, and led Yaoyao, the two exchanged glances, held hands affectionately and continued to walk forward.

Xiaoqing, who was following behind, saw Yaoyao and the others bought a lotus lantern, pulled Qi Xiao's sleeve, pointed at a blue lotus lantern, and said expectantly:

"Qi Xiao, Qi Xiao, I want one too, pay for it quickly."

"I have no money."

Qi Xiao turned his head in embarrassment, with his left hand in his clothes, digging here and there, but he didn't find a single copper plate. He glanced at Xiaoqing from the corner of his eye, and found her looking at the lotus lamp in despair, his heart softened, Then he took off the rosary on his wrist and handed it to the vendor.

"Boss, my rosary belongs to the Buddhist family. Although it is not worth a lot of money, it can bless the benefactor, your business is prosperous and your family is safe."

In fact, the rosary is made of high-quality pine wood, worth thousands of taels of silver, although it is a pity, as long as she likes it.

"Hey, such a precious thing, I feel ashamed to accept it, so besides the two lotus lanterns, I also have gold, silver and jade needles, which are threaded into seven holes and worn on the body. Girls can take things that they love, and when they meet their sweethearts, they will surely succeed as gifts.”

The peddler said, and took out a string of nine-tailed needles threaded with multicolored silk, plus blue jade stones, seven in total, made of pendants.

Xiaoqing took the string of pendants happily, the blue color of the jade glowed faintly under the night light, which was very similar to her style of dressing in blue.

Qi Xiao took a cyan lotus lantern and a red lotus lantern, with secret joy in the corners of his brows and eyes, and without waiting for Xiaoqing, he walked towards Zixuan Yaoyao's previous direction.

Xiaoqing was fascinated by it, and was about to turn her head to show Qi Xiao, and handed the pendant to the direction where Qi Xiao was standing before.

"Qi Xiao, look, is this pendant the same as me, small and cute, does it match me well? Hey, where are you, wait for me, Qi Xiao~"

With that said, he quickly chased after him.

Zixuan and Yaoyao walked to the Broken Bridge. This is the place where they made love, where they separated, and where they met.

Both sides of the broken bridge are full of lotus flowers. Although it is already autumn, the evening lotus is still fresh and refined, standing among the layers of green lotus leaves.

The corridors along the way, the corridors are still the same as when Xu Xuan expressed his heart that day, with lamps lit, cool breeze blowing, and a drizzle of drizzle, Zixuan conjured a red umbrella out of nowhere to cover Three inches above Yaoyao's head, everything seemed to be the same as yesterday, he was still Xu Xuan from the Pharmacist's Palace, and she was still the Bai Yaoyao who was waiting wholeheartedly for Zixuan.

The two stood on the bridge, placed the lotus lantern on the ground, looked up at the broken bridge under the rain, Yaoyao turned around, and looked at Zixuan.

"Sir, do you still remember what you said to me on this broken bridge when you were still Xu Xuan?"

"Remember, of course I remember, I remember every word my husband said to my wife. At that time, I said that I hope that no matter where you go in the future, someone will light up for you at every step. Now I have done it. Husband, you don't have to be afraid of the night anymore, because I will accompany you every step of the way, go on." Although Zixuan's words were gentle and gentle, they were filled with deep obsession.

"When I first met you as Xu Xuan, although you were mean and ungrateful, arrogant and difficult to get close to, I still recognized you as Zixuan at a glance. At that time, I almost gave up, because Zixuan was so warm a thousand years ago, just like you. Now you are average, you will never bully me, you will only pamper me."

Yaoyao said flatteringly, she didn't notice Zixuan's getting darker and darker at all, when she dared to be Xu Xuan, she still didn't forget this impression, even though he was the only one, but his personality was very different, very different , when he still had the other half of his soul in his consciousness, watching Xu Xuan express his love to Yaoyao, and seeing Xu Xuan marry Yaoyao, he was filled with jealousy until the soul returned to his place.

"Didn't you still say that I am the best and best Gongshang in the whole world? Why do I remember all the bad things? Then let me ask you, do you like Zixuan more or Xu Xuan more?"

Zixuan took a step closer, and a faint breath brushed Yaoyao's face, causing Yaoyao to nervously grab the corner of her clothes. She had thought about this problem, but he was always the only one in her heart, and Xu Xuan was also him. Zixuan is also him.

"Is this question very important? Zixuan is also you, and Xu Xuan is also you. Before I met Xu Xuan, I was used to feeling uncomfortable, missing, and waiting for you, but I was never used to not being able to see you. Until I meet you again, get to know you again, and fall in love with you, you will never see me when I am the loneliest, because I am the loneliest only when you are not by my side. You ask me if I am Ai Zixuan A little more, or Xu Xuan a little more, then I will tell you today, I love you, I don’t love Zixuan a little more, and I don’t love Xu Xuan a little more, just because you are you, I only love you, in this life, I only love you You, Zixuan, are alone."

When Yaoyao said these words excitedly, the corners of her eyes were a little moist, and she looked directly at Zixuan, no matter what he became, she gave him her heart, gave him completely, gave him everything, Never get it back.

After Zixuan heard this, the jealousy in Shicai's heart was suddenly swallowed up. He knew that Yaoyao only had him in his heart, but after hearing what she said, the excitement in his heart was still uncontrollable and made him very happy. Tears in the corners of the eyes.

"How can a husband not know what a lady thinks in her heart? There are thousands of beauties in the world, but you are the only one I love. I only hope that every day in the future, you will be happy. I don't want to see you again. Shed a tear, I promise you, if you don't leave, I will never give up, life after life, forever, I, Zixuan, only love Bai Yaoyao."

After finishing speaking, Zixuan raised his chin, put it close to Yaoyao's forehead, and dropped a kiss full of love. Surrounding them was the fragrance of lotus, both light and strong. It took a long time for his lips to leave Yaoyao...

"Lady, there is one more thing, I almost forgot, before setting off the lotus lantern, let's go to the Peach Blossom Forest."

"What are you doing in the peach blossom forest? Isn't there no peach blossoms now?"

Yaoyao doesn't understand, it's not the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, so what are you going to do there?

"You'll know when you come with me."

Zixuan didn't say anything, and took Yaoyao to Taolin.

Here Qi Xiao and Xiaoqing came to the river, each carrying a lotus lantern. She has imported a little fairy power, but she can't appear in front of everyone like ordinary people.

But at that time, she told Qi Xiao happily that she liked him, but Qi Xiao resolutely rejected her. She broke the lotus lamp and wanted to be entangled with him forever, but he abandoned her angrily. After a few days, she entered the Buddhist monastery, and she will never forget the night when Qi Xiao was shaved. She sat outside the temple for a whole night, waiting for the whole night, but he came with a bald head and said to her: "Poor man!" The name of the monk is Fahai."

Things are different, she stood beside Qi Xiao dejectedly, and fell silent all of a sudden, instead of talking endlessly like before.

Seeing her suddenly quiet, Qi Xiao looked at her in surprise, saw her lower her head, and thought to herself, why is she unhappy again, just now he managed to coax her well, and even gave him a string of fine rosary beads.

"What's the matter, there was a lot of quarreling just now, and you didn't light up the lights when you came to the river, but it was still quiet?"

"Qi Xiao, you have never confided your sincerity to me, do you know that when I was in the Lingzhu, under that tree, you said to the Lingzhu that you hoped to be an ordinary couple with me in the next life, man Gengnuzhi, these words made me look forward to spending the rest of my life with you when I was cultivating in the Lingzhu. I worked hard to make myself appear, so you have nothing to say to me? "

Xiaoqing looked up at Qi Xiao, she must ask clearly today, and let Qi Xiao tell her true feelings.

Qi Xiao was stunned, his heart was always like the deep sea, and Xiaoqing was a fish in his deep sea, disturbing his peace in the deep sea, it was the years he shouldn't have in this life.

"I have walked bridges in many places, seen clouds many times, and drank many kinds of wine, but I only loved a heartless monster."

He owes her too much, he has waited for her for so long, has been looking for her for so long, should he lose her again and make up for it?No, he doesn't want to.

"You... talking about me?"

Xiaoqing naturally heard what Qi Xiao meant, and looked away shyly. He finally admitted that he loved her.

Qi Xiao took out the green hairpin from his chest pocket, and since she left, he kept it carefully, hoping to find her one day and put it on for her again.

He stretched out his hand and gently inserted the hairpin into the bun, touched the green jade on the hairpin cherishingly, and then reluctantly withdrew his hand. He kept holding it and dared not take it out for a closer look, for he was afraid that he would cry if he looked at it. up.

"Qi Xiao, thank you. Since I met you, I have realized that sometimes, love is also a kind of hurt. Cruel people choose to hurt others, and kind people choose to hurt themselves. I know you are the kind one. I fell into Buddhism by myself, and refused to accept me. You know, at that time, when I heard some things, which were obviously irrelevant, I would turn several corners in my heart and think of you. Even if I am no longer The snake demon back then, but I like you from the beginning to the end."

She just looked at Qi Xiao like that, and whispered her inner feelings.

The seed in Qi Xiao's heart that had been suppressed for a long time and buried for a long time germinated again, and it couldn't wait to break out of the ground, filling his heart in an instant.

He couldn't help but took a step towards Xiaoqing, bent over stiffly and nervously, trying to feel the coolness that was both tentative and urgent, and when he touched the skin between Xiaoqing's forehead, he retracted like an electric shock, like a superficial touch of water, which made people feel Just a momentary illusion.

Xiaoqing blushed, but raised her hand to touch her forehead, as if confirming that the chill just now was not a dream of hers, but really existed.

"You know, I'd rather forget in your memory than you get hurt for me. You used to be my only chance to meet, never to keep, never to have, now I give you my whole soul , together with its eccentricities, playing petty temper, flickering, [-] kinds of bad problems. It is really annoying, only one thing is good, love you. Will you spend the rest of your life with me?"

When Qi Xiao said these words, his nervous palms were sweating. He had never said these words to anyone, and he didn't know if she liked her. If he was rejected, he would never dare to face her again. Xiao Qing was so ashamed that she felt ashamed.

"If you don't agree, it's okay. If I don't say anything, you will think that I have a convulsion today."

Seeing that Xiaoqing just looked at him and didn't answer, he was afraid that he would refuse, so he scratched his head in embarrassment, trying to explain himself.

Before she could continue talking in the future, her body sank, as if something was hanging around her neck, Xiaoqing hugged Qi Xiao, unable to swallow herself, she was so happy, she waited for so long, and finally got her final Want to hear the voice.

"I am willing, Qi Xiao, I am willing. Do you know how long I have been waiting for your words? I thought I would never be able to wait any longer. I thought you would despise me as a lonely ghost now. Thought you wouldn't want me."

"Fool, how could I not want you, no matter what kind of you I want, I love you, still, always, forever."

He leaned back slightly so that he could look at Xiaoqing, and stroked Xiaoqing's cheeks with both hands, with the reunion he hadn't seen for a long time, the joy of regaining what was lost, and the determination to promise a lifetime.

"Okay, let's set up the lotus lantern."

"Hey, wait a minute, I almost forgot, this Qiqiao pendant, promise, I will wear it with you, and you will be the person of this tiger in the future, don't take it off, you have to carry it all the time it."

Xiaoqing took off the pendant, stood on tiptoe, and stretched out her hand to hang it around Qi Xiao's neck. With a little effort, Qi Xiao lowered his head and asked her to put it on for himself.Putting on the pendant, Xiaoqing pulled Qi Xiao contentedly to release the lotus lantern.

Qi Xiao and Xiaoqing approached the river, put their lotus lanterns into the water, and prayed devoutly, hoping that the two of them would get their wish.

In the peach grove, the peach trees in the peach forest are now bearing small peaches. Although they are not as beautiful as the fairy peaches in the sky, they are also small and cute, pink and tender, and Yaoyao can't help swallowing them. I swallowed my saliva, and when I go back, pick some for Xiao Wuyou.

She thought to herself, and followed Zixuan to the tree where the pottery puppets were placed. Under the tree was still the pottery puppets that Zixuan made for her. Although they were placed here every day, Zixuan came here every day to wipe the pottery puppets. Fan, so the pottery puppet has been spotless.

"Lady, come here. I made a few pottery puppets a few days ago. Today coincides with Qixi Festival, so I will take you and put them under the tree." Zixuan took out three pottery puppets from his sleeves.

"Hey, you, me, Xiao Wuyou, aren't there three? Why is there an extra female doll?"

Yaoyao saw that there was an extra female doll, and she looked at Zixuan suspiciously. The little doll was about the same size as Xiao Wuyou's, and a little smaller than theirs. Could it be that Zixuan arranged for Xiao Wuyou so early? Good marriage?

"Madam, have you forgotten that my husband once said that not only will he plant a peach tree for you every year, but also live happily with your children and grandchildren? Now that we have Xu Xi, should we do it?" Are you going to take another step?"

Zixuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Yaoyao sideways, with a calculating expression on his face. He naturally loves the child without worry, but he wants a daughter more, let her be as cute and well-behaved as Yaoyao, and be a wife and slave. Daughter slave, he is willing and happy to leave.

"Sir, what do you mean, but you still want a daughter?"

Yaoyao understood what he meant, she has been with him for thousands of years, and she has already connected with him, although she is sometimes a little slow, but after a little thinking, she can still guess clearly.

"This is what my wife said. My husband has always listened to my wife's words. Since my wife has said so, there is no reason for my husband not to listen. For my husband, I should do my best to fulfill my wife's wish."

"Master!"

Yaoyao blushed, since this Zixuan merged with Xu Xuan's temperament, he liked to tease her more and more, which made her blush every time.

Seeing her blushing and angry, Zixuan didn't say a word, knelt down and took out a handful of mung beans, Yaoyao was puzzled, and asked, "Sir, what are you doing?"

"My lady, I don't understand this. This is the custom of Qixi Festival in the world. Soak mung beans in the soil, wait for them to grow a few inches of buds, and then tie them into a bunch with red and blue silk ropes, which is called seedlings. A woman who is a married woman prays to have a child. The husband knows that you don’t know, so he does it for his wife on his own initiative.”

"Xianggong is really considerate, but Yaoyao is embarrassed."

"Miss, in the thousand years, in the boundless wilderness of time, I happened to meet you, and I was poisoned and fell in love with you. Although I am proficient in medicine, I can only cure it. Don't worry about my heart disease, you can rest assured that everything will be left to my husband to do for you, that's fine, I want you to be worry-free forever and always have a smile on your face."

"As long as you are with your husband, no matter where you are or what you do, it's good."

Yaoyao threw herself into Zixuan's arms, and the two embraced and smiled.

"Sir, let's go find Xiaoqing and the others, the lotus lantern hasn't been released yet." "Okay."

When Xuan Bai came to the river, he saw Qi Qing and Qi Qing standing close to each other, they looked at each other, knowing that the two of them must be reconciled.

"Xiaoqing!"

Hearing Yaoyao's voice, Xiaoqing turned around in shock, stood a little further away from Qi Xiao shyly, took Yaoyao's hand, and asked:

"Xiaobai, where have you been? I haven't seen anyone for a long time?"

"We... went to the peach forest, Mr. Xiang made three pottery puppets and put them under the tree."

Yaoyao unnaturally mentioned the pottery puppet, recalling the conversation just now, her face felt hot for a while.

"Three? Didn't you have one before? Could it be... Xiaobai... Are you pregnant again???? Am I going to have another niece?? Or a nephew????"

"Don't make trouble, Xiaoqing, I'm not pregnant yet, so keep your voice down."

Yaoyao quickly covered Xiaoqing's mouth, looked around, made sure that no one else heard her, and then let go of her hand. The villagers knew that she was pregnant before, and the threshold of Xu's residence was almost broken, and people came to give gifts every day. , she was dizzy from dealing with it, she didn't want to experience it anymore.

A streak of white light slid down from the sky, followed by countless streaks of white light.

"Xiaobai, look, what is that, it's so beautiful."

"I don't know either. Does my husband know why?"

Yaoyao, Xiaoqing looked at Zixuan, waiting for Zixuan's reply.

"It's a shooting star. Every woman in the world will make a wish when she sees a shooting star. I heard that if the wish is heard by the commander of the nine heavens, it will come true." Zixuan looked up at the sky, silently making a wish in his heart, wishing the lady a safe life and a long life. stay together.

"Xiaobai, let's hurry up and make a wish! May the four of us be together for a long time, no matter ten years, 20 years, or a hundred years, or a thousand years, we will never be separated!"

"Well! May the four of us never be separated and stay together for a long time. Hurry up and make a wish."

Xiaoqing grabbed Qi Xiao and asked him to make a wish together.

So, the four of them folded their hands together, looked at the meteors piercing the sky, and prayed sincerely...

Zixuan: I, Zixuan, pray here that the four of us will live together forever, never to be separated, and to be together forever.

Yaoyao: I, Bai Yaoyao, pray here that the four of us, life after life, will last for a long time, will never be separated, and will be together forever.

Xiaoqing: I, Xiaoqing, hereby pray that the four of us will live together for a long time, never to be separated, and to be together forever.

Qi Xiao: I, Qi Xiao, pray here that the four of us will live together for a long time, never to be separated, and to be together forever.

All of a sudden, the shooting stars above the head reflected the sky as if it were daytime, and the lotus lanterns in the river reflected each other. Men and women stood by the river and prayed devoutly.

By the river, Yaoyao and Xiaoqing cheered and embraced each other, the joy of the four of them at the moment made others envious.

You can't hear the running water, and you can't hear the cheers around, Zixuan and Qi Xiao only have their laughter in their eyes~

May time stay in this night for a while, and there will be no more separation.
