Chapter 570: The Disappearing Red Maple Leaf
Xu Yi thought the Taoist was unwilling to ask them to go down, so he said angrily: "How could you read it wrong? We clearly saw a small boat on the lake and went to the middle. I'm afraid that it hasn't come up yet. If you don't believe it, please go with me to take a look."
The Taoist waved his hand and smiled and said, "It's impossible. You must have read it wrong. It's not that we don't let you go down in Jinghu, but no one dares to go down. Someone went down a long time ago. But after going down, we can never come back."
Man'er was surprised. "Ah? Has it sunk?"
The Taoist shook his head. "It shouldn't be there. This Jinghu Lake opens twice a year, and people who go down the lake privately can't find the body and the boat, so there are no small boats on the mountain now, so you can't go down even if you want to go down. You must have read it wrong."
Yuan Qingling was very confused. He raised his eyes and said, "Master Taoist, we four of us, eight eyes, can't be mistaken. Is there really someone rafting on the lake? Is someone going down or bringing the boat up there? Don't you know?"
The Taoist smiled and said, "How could he not know? There have always been people guarding Jinghu. Just guard against some brave pilgrims who have spared their lives to hunt for curiosity. They went down to play. The old Taoist has been here for more than 30 years. He has only seen two people. These two people have never come back and the boat has disappeared. Since then, they have never been there. Therefore, Jinghu is dangerous and cannot be allowed to go down."
The Taoist looked at people intimately and knew that the identity of the couple in front of him was not simple, so he was very polite. He also told them about the danger of Jinghu without reservation, for fear that they would not be able to stop them and that their lives would be bad.
Yuan Qingling saw that the Taoist didn’t seem to be deceiving perfunctorily. Could it be that he saw Xiaozhou just now, which was a collective illusion between the four of them?
However, the little boat really saw it clearly. Even if it was an illusion, it would be impossible for the four people to see the same illusion, right?
Yuan Qingling thought for a while and asked, "Master, aren't there anyone who can come back from Jinghu?"
The Taoist priest hesitated for a moment and said, "At least, I have never seen it before. However, I have been my uncle from Master Dao, and I have come back. But after I come back, I went crazy, saying that he had gone to another world and what kind of time and space entrance there is. In short, I was crazy. Later, while he was unprepared, he jumped down again. Since then, he has never come back and cannot find the body."
Yuan Qingling's blood suddenly rushed to his brain, and he reached out to his hand and grabbed the Taoist priest's sleeve, "What did you say? The entrance to time and space? This Jinghu is the entrance to time and space?"
The Taoist priest was startled by her excited reaction and quickly broke free from her hand, "Madam, don't be excited, these are all crazy words from Uncle Master. What a crazy person said is not trustworthy. In this world, where is there any other world or entrance to time and space?"
After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he saw that Yuan Qingling still looked shocked. He thought that this lady was also a demented person and did not dare to provoke her. He bowed and left.
Yu Wenhao looked at Yuan Qingling, his eyes showing the familiar fear of Yuan Qingling's wish just now, "Yuan, what is the entrance to time and space? What does he mean? Why are you so excited?"
Yuan Qingling suppressed the shock in his heart, squeezed out a happy look, and tried his best to fool things. "Time and space are the same direction as the sunspot that Lao Wang studied. If he told Lao Wang, he would be very happy."
Yuwenhao looked at her suspiciously, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Yuan Qingling took his arm and said, "Let's go to Jinghu to take a look."
Yu Wenhao went out with her with skepticism, but when he arrived at the edge of Jinghu Lake, the same beautiful scenery made Yu Wenhao feel a little chill in his heart. He kept looking at Yuan Qingling's excitement. This was definitely not the joy of helping Lao Wang discover something novel, as if it was related to her.
Xu Yi rubbed his eyes, then rubbed his eyes, staring at Jinghu, "It's strange, there's really no boat now. Could it be that we've all misread just now?"
Man'er said: "It's impossible that you've read it wrong, you've clearly seen it."
Yuan Qingling also looked at Jinghu and said, "If the fog dissipates, that would be great. You can see the true nature of Jinghu."
Yuwenhao said: "That's unlikely, didn't the Taoist priest say it? It's twice a year."
He looked at the Hetian jade-like Jinghu Lake and felt more and more panicked, and said, "It's getting late, we have to go down the mountain, otherwise we will delay our meal."
Yuan Qingling reluctantly left, as if this place could really lead to her hometown.
However, Yu Wenhao pulled her away, and she could only walk on the path reluctantly and walk to the corner. She looked back and found that the clouds seemed to be gradually dissipating.
She quickly held Yu Wenhao's hand and said, "Look, is the clouds and mist about to dissipate?"
Yu Wenhao turned around in shock, and sure enough, the mountain wind suddenly blew, and the clouds gradually dispersed, revealing a corner of Jinghu.
Yuan Qingling shook his hand and ran back, and Yu Wenhao called out, "Don't run so fast."
He hurriedly chased after him and grabbed Yuan Qingling's hand, for fear that she would suddenly jump in.
The clouds dissipated more and more. Yuan Qingling stood by the lake and looked at the blue Mirror Lake. It looked like a piece of jasper, so beautiful, so beautiful. She was so crazy about her eyes.
Some tourists gradually came over and cheered excitedly for the opening of Jinghu Lake.
Yu Wenhao felt that this place was strange and muttered: "The weather is so good, why don't there be any reflections in the blue sky and white clouds? You can see everything."
Yuan Qingling was excited and didn't notice this. When she heard Yu Wenhao say this, she looked carefully and saw a blue pool of blue but no reflection on the shore. There were many red maples on the edge of the mirror lake, and even the blue sky and white clouds in the sky could not be printed in the lake at all.
But the lake water is very clear, at least it gives people a clear feeling, but why doesn’t anything reflect in?
Moreover, the lake is as flat as a mirror. Under such a strong mountain wind, the lake is filled with ripples.
She was surprised and picked up a red maple leaf and threw it into the lake.
The red maple leaves seemed to solidify in the lake, without moving or floating away, but in full view of everyone, the maple leaves disappeared.
"Oh my God!" Yuan Qingling was shocked and grabbed Yu Wenhao, who was also shocked, "Did you see it? The maple leaves disappeared."
Yu Wenhao murmured: "Has he sunk?"
"Impossible, how could the leaves sink?" Yuan Qingling said.
Yu Wenhao bent down and picked up a red maple leaf. He condensed his internal force to fly the maple leaf out. The maple leaf fell on the lake surface. The force seemed to throw a small stone. However, Jinghu did not splash any water. The maple leaf was still very fast when throwing it out, but when it was about to land on the water surface, it slowed down very slowly, and then it fell gently on the water surface.
Disappeared!
