Chapter 88 The Story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl
After dinner, Shen Lian and Yun Shuiyao listened to a play in the theater.
"Isn't it not as good as the ditty sung by Yunshuang Oiran from the Jiaofang Division?" Suddenly, Yun Shuiyao, who had been listening to it with great interest, looked at Shen Lian and asked.
"Of course, one in the sky and one on the earth." Shen Lian blurted out.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill coming over him. He immediately came back to his senses and said, "I never go to the Jiaofang Department."
"Haha." Yun Shuiyao sneered.
"There was a reason for what happened last time, and it's not like you didn't know it."
"Actually, it's okay to go to Jiaofangsi. All my brothers and sisters have been there." Yun Shuiyao held her chin with one hand and said in a gentle tone.
Do you think I’m stupid? Would I fall for such an obvious trap?
Shen Lian snorted in his heart.
"Sorry, I really can't agree with you. In order to avoid a quarrel, I decided to end this topic. Let's talk about the resentful spirits in the well." Shen Lian quickly changed the topic.
If possible, I plan to redeem Yunshuang's life...
Shen Lian added in his mind.
Yun Shuiyao also became interested when talking about the resentful spirits and did not intend to continue to entangle the topic of Jiaofang Si.
"It's almost time, let's go take a look." Yun Shuiyao stood up and left, taking the lead in walking out of the theater.
In fact, she couldn't listen to it for a long time. If Shen Lian hadn't pretended to listen to the show at the beginning, Yun Shuiyao would have dragged him away.
The three-meter-high courtyard wall couldn't stop the two of them at all.
Shen Lian jumped lightly and rolled into the courtyard.
In comparison, Yun Shuiyao is much more elegant. She grows lotuses step by step, like a fairy descending to earth, stepping on a flower bridge made of pink lotus flowers and crossing over the courtyard wall.
Shen Lian looked at the fairy-like Yun Shuiyao and licked his lips.
Yun Shuiyao was very satisfied with his dreamy look.
Uh-huh, you have to look straight. Yunshuang Oiran doesn't know how to do this, does she?
Yun Shuiyao felt beautiful in her heart.
The courtyard is still full of evil spirits. Compared with the daytime, at night there is no sunlight, and there is a white mist here.
"These are miasma." Yun Shuiyao took out a yellow talisman from the deerskin handbag, silently recited the mantra and threw it forward. The yellow talisman spontaneously ignited without fire.
The moment Shen Lian saw the yellow talisman burning, a golden light glowed, dispersing the white mist in the courtyard wherever it passed.
"Okay, look at the mouth of the well." Yun Shuiyao pulled Shen Lian's arm in slight surprise.
When leaving during the day, Yun Shuiyao easily removed the magic circle he had left at the mouth of the well.
At this time, black gas was lingering at the mouth of the well, and from a few meters away, Shen Lian could feel a huge wave of resentment emanating from the well.
"Is this thing so resentful?" Shen Lian frowned slightly, a little worried that he and Yun Shuiyao would not be able to handle it.
"This is where we are. Resentful spirits are like this. Their resentment is boundless. I have dealt with a resentful spirit before, and its resentment directly enveloped the entire mountain. This one in front of me is a trivial matter." Yun Shuiyao patted him nonchalantly. He clapped his hands and took Shen Lian to find a stone bench in the yard and sit down.
"What are we doing now?" Shen Lian looked at Yun Shuiyao.
"Wait, wait for the resentful spirit to come out on its own." Yun Shuiyao looked at the stars in the sky and said calmly.
"Wait?" Shen Lian exclaimed, eyes widening, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Yes, do you want to catch her in the well?" Yun Shuiyao looked at Shen Lian, blinked, and said, "That's too dangerous. If the resentful spirit doesn't come out by the middle of the night, I will forcefully pull her out. "
If you can force it out, why do you have to wait until midnight?
Shen Lian was puzzled and asked what he was thinking.
Yun Shuiyao did not answer immediately, but covered her jade legs and looked up at the night sky.
"The stars are so beautiful tonight. I haven't seen such a beautiful night sky in a long time."
Shen Lian looked up and saw that there was nothing special about it, it was just that the stars were a little brighter.
"Shen Lian, tell me a story." Yun Shuiyao suddenly leaned close to Shen Lian, and the breeze blew by, blowing her hair in a unique style.
Shen Lian's heart palpitated, he thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay."
Dayu had similar customs to later generations, but the myths and stories were completely different. Some popular legends in later generations did not appear here, such as the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl.
"Let me tell you a story about the Magpie Bridge Immortal." Shen Lian said.
"Magpie Bridge Immortal? Okay, okay." Yun Shuiyao was very interested, and looked at Shen Lian with a pair of beautiful eyes, as tender as water.
"A long time ago, Niu Lang and Weaver Girl were a pair of mortal lovers. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts and lived a happy life where men farmed and women weaved. Then one day, Niu Lang went out to herd cattle and met an old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest felt that he was destined to have an elixir, so he gave him an elixir and told Niulang that if he took the elixir, he would become an immortal. Niu Lang was reluctant to let go of Weaver Girl, so he secretly hid the elixir after returning home, but was accidentally killed by Weaver Girl a few days later. It was discovered that Weaver Girl didn't know what it was, but she only smelled very fragrant. Unable to resist the temptation, she ate the elixir, and then flew to the Heavenly Palace uncontrollably. After seeing Weaver Girl, the Emperor of Heaven thought she was beautiful, so he simply kept her in the palace. To the Moon Palace......"
"When Niu Lang learned about this, he was furious, yelled at the sky, and asked the Emperor to return the Weaver Girl to him. In exchange, he was struck by lightning. The hatred for seizing his wife was irreconcilable. Niu Lang vowed to take revenge, so he made up I picked up a small bamboo raft and traveled across the ocean to a place called Fangcun Mountain to learn the art from a master. After completing my studies, I went to the Heavenly Palace. Each person had a knife, and he chopped all the way from Nantianmen to Chang'an Road. He raised the knife with his hand and dropped it with his hand. ....."
"The Emperor of Heaven saw that Niu Lang was looking forward to death and did not dare to confront him, so he agreed to return the Weaver Girl to him. However, the immortals are different. They can only meet once a year, and the meeting place is Magpie Bridge."
Shen Lian was filled with excitement and frothing at the mouth as he told the story of his magical transformation.
Yun Shuiyao listened with great interest and was so moved by this love story that she cried slightly.
"Weaver Girl is so pitiful, she can only see her lover once a year." Yun Shuiyao sighed and said with great pity.
Shen Lian looked at the tearful beauty in front of him, smiled and said, "Actually, Niu Lang is the poor one."
"Hmph, Niulang might go to Jiaofangsi to fool around in the mortal world, but Zhinu would be much more pitiful if she lives alone in the Moon Palace." Yun Shuiyao pouted and pinched Shen Lian as she spoke.
"There is a day in the sky and a year on the earth. For Zhinu, you can actually see Cowherd every day." Shen Lian said with a smile.
Yun Shuiyao was stunned after hearing this, and then gently hammered Shen Lian's chest angrily, and said softly: "The bad guy, you are the only one who is more unreasonable."
In the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone were alone, and Shen Lian's heart beat faster, and his arms unconsciously wanted to hold Yun Shuiyao in his arms.
Feeling Shen Lian's strange movement, Yun Shuiyao's cheeks began to feel hot, and she sat still, feeling both nervous and expectant.
However, at this moment, a woman's miserable sobs suddenly came from the wellhead not far away.
"Uuuuuuuuah, I hate you so much, I want to kill you."
