During the Qingming Festival, Qiantang County is shrouded in mourning and incense.
Households, carrying the old and the young, carried baskets filled with incense, candles and paper money as they headed to the cemetery outside the city. West Lake It was actually much quieter than usual.
Chen Jin It's rare to have a leisurely time, so I walked to Broken Bridge.
At the beginning of the spring rain, the lake surface is filled with vast mist, the distant mountains are like black clouds, the willows near the embankment are filled with smoke, and the peach blossoms are blooming when dipped in the water.
The warm wind blows by, bringing up the sparkling waves, and a few small boats are rippling in the middle of the lake. It is really an intoxicating scene of "the water is shining and the sky is clear".
He leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, and the fatigue from days of practice gradually melted away in the scenery of lakes and mountains.
At the same time, two women walked up Su Causeway, immediately attracting the attention of scattered tourists.
The woman walking in front was wearing a plain white silk dress, with a light silver lotus pattern embroidered on the skirt, Walker like the flowing wind and snow.
Her black hair is like clouds, only tied with a simple mutton-fat jade hosta, and a few strands of blue silk hang down her cheeks, making her skin radiant Bai Sheng.
Her eyebrows are exquisite and picturesque, her eyes are as clear as autumn water, and her whole body exudes an aura of pure spirit that is not like the fireworks of the world, as if a fairy from the Nine Heavens has strayed into the mortal world.
The girl who followed closely behind her was wearing an aqua-green embroidered lotus skirt with a silk ribbon tied around her waist, outlining her slim figure.
She wore a double-ringed bun with tiny pearl tassels, which swayed gently as she walked.
Her oval face is pretty and smart, and her almond-shaped eyes are full of innocence and cunning that don't understand the world. They look forward to shining brightly.
"Sister, West Lake, we have already turned around three times, how can we be "expert"?" Xiao Qing pouted and tore off a willow leaf.
Bai Suzhen frowned, kept calculating with his fingertips, and his sleeves fluttered lightly in the spring breeze. "Since the master said, "You need to search West Lake high," there must be a deep meaning.
I think the "marriage calamity" you mentioned that day makes sense. Maybe the reincarnation of the benefactor I am looking for is really right here at West Lake."
Just as she was talking, her beautiful eyes lit up and she saw the tall and tall figure leaning on the railing independently on Broken Bridge.
"Look at that man," Bai Suzhen gently pulled Xiao Qing's sleeves, his voice filled with joy, "He is more than a foot taller than everyone around him. He stands out from the crowd and has an extraordinary bearing."
Standing at the highest point of Broken Bridge, doesn't it correspond to "searching high"? Maybe it's what we are looking for..."
Xiao Qing looked in the direction she pointed, and was immediately frightened out of his wits - wasn't that the murderer that night?!
Although she is dressed as a woman today, since the other party can see through her true identity at a glance...
"No, it's impossible!" Xiao Qing hurriedly pulled Bai Suzhen, her green skirt rippling with nervousness, "Sister, you are wrong! How does this person, how does this person look like an expert? He is clearly..." She was speechless for a moment, her pretty face flushed slightly with anxiety.
Bai Suzhen was amused by her and felt like a pearl. "Why not? He is tall and handsome, and he has a certain magnanimity when he stands there. In my opinion, he is very extraordinary."
"You are not considered an expert if you are tall..." Xiao Qing muttered in a low voice, his eyes flickering, not daring to make eye contact with the eyes that might be thrown at him from the bridge. He could only hold on to Bai Suzhen's plain white sleeves, "Let's go look elsewhere, shall we?"
Bai Suzhen Seeing that her expression was panicked, which was very different from usual, she felt suspicious, so she secretly made some assumptions.
After a moment, she softly said "Huh" and frowned slightly.
"Sister, have you figured it out? Is he your shepherd boy benefactor?" Xiao Qing asked nervously, twisting his belt with his green fingers.
Bai Suzhen shook his head slowly, looking confused. "Strange... I can't figure out his origin.
His past lives overlapped, and each of them looked different, but they had one thing in common, they were all swordsmen.
But in reincarnation, even if the appearance changes, there shouldn't be any similarities, let alone the same fate from generation to generation... This is against common sense."
When Xiao Qing heard this, his heart dropped, and he quickly said, "Since it can't be calculated, it must not be the case! Sister, let's not waste time on him and look for him elsewhere, shall we?"
She almost half pushed and half pulled Bai Suzhen to turn around.
She had the intention to tell her sister that this man was a Daoist priest who slayed demons, but she was afraid that her words would be sensed by him, and she would have missed the point without being discovered.
You know, many successful people are inspired when others mention them.
Bai Suzhen looked at Chen Jin on Broken Bridge, still a little hesitant in his heart.
She sighed softly, and was finally pulled by Xiao Qing toward Su Causeway. After only walking a few steps, she couldn't help but look back:
Broken Bridge The man in green shirt next to him was looking down at the lake. The raindrops fell on his shoulders, but did not wet the fabric of his clothes. Instead, they slipped along the hem of his clothes and fell to the ground, avoiding him as if they had spiritual energy.
Bai Suzhen was pulled away from Broken Bridge by Xiao Qing, but he was still thinking about it in his heart.
"This person has extraordinary charisma and is clearly a man of cultivation. Naturally, he can be considered an "expert"."
"Furthermore, Guanyin Bodhisattva only said that "you need to look for it in West Lake's higher places", but did not explicitly say that he must be the reincarnation of the shepherd boy..."
Confused in her heart, she couldn't help but slow down her pace, subconsciously turned back, and wanted to look in the direction of Broken Bridge.
Just when she was restless and looking back, she didn't pay attention to the front and passed by a handsome young man walking towards her.
This collision was very light, but there was a crisp "ding" sound, and the suet jade hairpin in her hair was taken away, and was about to fall into the dust.
"Ah!" Bai Suzhen exclaimed softly.
The young man reacted very quickly, leaned down quickly, and had the hosta in his hand before it hit the ground.
He stood up and handed the hosta back with a graceful movement and an apology on his face. "I was negligent and bumped into the lady. Wan Wang Haihan."
I saw that this young man had clear features, a high nose, and a moon-white scholar's shirt that made his temperament even more elegant. He was indeed a handsome young man.
Xiao Qing on the side didn't care about this. He raised his eyebrows and stood in front of Bai Suzhen, shouting, "You don't have eyes when you walk! You bumped into my sister!"
"Xiao Qing, don't be rude."
Bai Suzhen stopped her softly. She met the apologetic gaze of the young master, took the hosta, smiled at the corner of her lips, and bowed slightly, "Thank you, young master. It was the young lady who was careless. You can't blame the young master."
However, the moment her fingertips touched the hosta and the young master's fingers were about to touch, Bai Suzhen's heart skipped a beat!
There was an extremely weak feeling, like a sleeping string being quietly plucked.
On a whim, she couldn't care less, and immediately secretly pinched the magic formula in her sleeve to deduce the cause and effect of this person's previous life.
Blurry pictures flashed quickly on her altar - a little shepherd boy stepping on the green grass, a young scholar holding a book, a farmer in the field wielding a hoe...
It's him! It's really him! The young master in front of her is actually the reincarnation of the savior she has been looking for for 1,700 years!
Bai Suzhen's heart was instantly filled with huge surprise and fateful emotion. She almost shed tears as her long-cherished wish of thousands of years was finally fulfilled.
However, the next moment when this excitement reached its peak, the mana she was running unconsciously swept through the opponent's body, and a fact that made her dumbfounded poured down like cold water -
This... this "young master"... Yuan Yin has not been lost, and his energy and blood are Walker. He is clearly a daughter.
If you look closely, you will see that although he is very handsome in men's clothing, there is no Adam's apple on his neck and there are hidden traces of piercings on his earlobes, but they have been cleverly covered up.
My plan of "committing myself to each other and establishing a good relationship" to repay the great kindness had completely come to nothing before it even started.
For a moment, Bai Suzhen froze on the spot, holding the hosta in his hand, and the smile on his face was one part surprise, one part astonishment, and one part indescribable absurdity and helplessness.
