Chapter 471: Snow on the Cangshan Mountain, Bright Light in the South
Honglian shook her petals, and the whole flower opened up, allowing her to see more clearly.
“It does seem to be a little bigger.”
Mingnan seized the opportunity and poked its center, and Honglian immediately shrank into a bun.
205: [Tsk, host, you are really annoying sometimes. From childhood to adulthood, every beating you received was in vain.]
The Samsara Mirror began to tremble and struggled to fly out of Mingnan's hand.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, little ancestor. Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. I'll take you to enjoy the moon, okay? You can also absorb the essence of heaven and earth."
Upon hearing this, Honglian quietly let go of a petal, stared at her for a while, then hesitated and lay back in her palm.
That arrogant energy seemed to be saying: I'll forgive you one last time.
Mingnan smiled, stood up and walked out slowly.
The moonlight in the courtyard is as clear as water, flowing quietly in the yard.
She waded through the moonlight and walked slowly out of the yard.
Along the way, there are green grass, the fragrance of flowers, and fireflies flying happily through the woods.
The Samsara Mirror floated beside her and saw the firefly suddenly pounce over, scaring it away, like the afterglow of crushed stars.
Mingnan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why are you scaring them?"
The Samsara Mirror paused, turned around and looked at her, pondered for a moment, and suddenly flew straight towards her.
Mingnan: "???"
205: [Look, what an obedient mirror! If you don’t let it scare the fireflies, it will scare you.]
The mirror showed no sign of slowing down as it got closer, and it looked as if it was going to hit Mingnan's head.
Mingnan was stunned for a moment, then he ran away.
"You want to scare me, right? Fine, come and chase me. If you can catch me, I'll put you on top of my head and worship you!"
205: […There’s no need to be so hard on yourself. If you set a goal, you’ll probably get slapped in the face~]
However, Mingnan proved with her strength that she was not just talking casually.
After running a few steps, she turned around, raised her index finger towards the Samsara Mirror and shook it left and right.
It means - you can't do it~
How could Honglian, with her explosive temper, stand such provocation? She immediately sped up and chased after him.
Mingnan laughed triumphantly.
So in the inky night, with one person and one mirror, she ran away from it and it chased her, having a lot of fun.
Whenever the Samsara Mirror was about to catch up, she would speed up to distance herself from it. But when the Samsara Mirror fell too far behind, she would slow down and wait for it on purpose.
Several times, 205 thought that the current speed was Mingnan's limit, but would be slapped in the face by Mingnan in the next moment.
She ran faster and faster like a Hot Wheels.
205: [What a joke, I am the flag.]
The Samsara Mirror was also very angry. The red lotus inside it withered and the petals fell to the ground. Then new ones grew out, shook themselves up again, and continued to chase the evil guy.
Mingnan ran along the bluestone slabs towards Dengyun Peak behind him. When he passed the bamboo forest, his fluttering white sleeves filled with fragrance.
Her clear, joyful laughter echoed far away, like silver bells ringing in the wind under the eaves.
Seeing that she had reached the foot of the mountain, she stopped to take a breath, turned back and urged the Samsara Mirror again: "Is it possible, Xiaolian? Why are you flying so slowly? How about I give way to you?"
The red lotus trembled even more violently, and its petals fell off.
In the blink of an eye, he became bald due to anger, leaving only a bare lotus seat.
It pounced on him ferociously, as if it wanted to eat Mingnan alive.
Mingnan immediately turned around and ran towards Dengyun Peak, as nimble as a rabbit.
205 realized it later, she must have mastered it.
After all, she has been naughty since she was a child and her senior sister is annoyed by her. Even if the senior brother has a good temper, there will be times when he can no longer tolerate it.
So she was beaten a lot when she was a child.
Of course, they didn't really beat her. Most of the time they were just trying to scare her. But Mingnan was young at that time and couldn't tell the difference between a scare and a real fight. When she saw them stealing things, she would run away, and then they would chase her.
If you don’t run fast enough, you will be caught by your master, senior brothers and sisters, and then given a “love education”.
Sometimes it’s one lesson per person.
Sometimes seniors take turns coming.
What's worse, three people beat him up together.
In order to avoid being beaten, Mingnan developed the ability to escape since he was a child.
It went from being caught eight times out of ten to being caught five times out of ten, and then it evolved to being caught only two times out of ten.
Up to now, if we pick out the four masters from their sect and run together, none of them can outrun Mingnan.
Not to mention this little mirror that is not very worldly-wise.
I ran like this for almost an hour.
Mingnan successfully reached the top of Dengyun Peak.
She stood in front of the Star-Watching Tower and slowed down, calming her breathing.
After a few breaths, a faint sound of breaking air came from behind.
She smiled slightly, and without even turning her head, she reached back and grabbed the Samsara Mirror that was trying to launch a sneak attack with absolute accuracy.
"You lose."
Mingnan withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes to look at the mirror which was still struggling, and tapped the mirror with his fingers, "Are you convinced?"
Honglian froze for a moment, perhaps she could no longer struggle, so she simply collapsed in her palm. After a breath, she stubbornly turned over and faced her with her back.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Mingnan was so delighted that he gently scratched the pattern on its back twice.
"Stop making trouble, let's go and see the moon."
She walked up the stone steps and walked towards the top floor of Wangxing Tower.
The top floor platform has a very broad view.
She stopped in front of the railing, looked up and saw a huge jade plate hanging in the sky, bright and cold, and a silent shock came over her.
In the moonlight, all other stars are dimmed.
The sentence “How can the light of a firefly compete with the brightness of the bright moon” has the most intuitive answer at this moment.
Mingnan poked the Samsara Mirror and said, "Look."
Samsara Mirror: “…”
Seeing that it didn't move, Mingnan simply turned it over manually and held it up to the moon. "Look, isn't it beautiful? I wonder if there really is a fairy in the Moon Palace. Is she looking at us now?"
The red lotus sensed the moonlight and slowly blossomed, while strands of moonlight power also gathered towards the mirror.
Seeing this, Mingnan let it go.
The Samsara Mirror immediately flew high into the sky, continuously absorbing the moonlight and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation.
"When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the sky -"
"That's right." Mingnan's eyes lit up, "I said something was missing."
She took out a pot of treasured wine from her storage ring, then went upstairs to fetch a low table and placed it on the terrace.
Then she placed a cushion behind the low table, sat on it, put a plate of snacks and fruits on the table, and started to pour herself a drink.
After a while, a slight blush appeared on her face.
She held her chin with one hand and looked at the endless starry sky. She was so excited that she suddenly stood up and staggered around on the spacious terrace.
The snow-white skirt fluttered in the wind, and the lotus flowers embroidered with gold thread bloomed, appearing and disappearing.
The wide sleeves fluttered like clouds and fell like pear blossoms.
In this vast universe, I am a free and easy person.
She spun around and then began to dance, singing softly as she danced:
"The moon is bright, and the people are beautiful. The beauty is graceful, and the heart is tired and quiet (1)..."
Honglian suddenly paused, and the mirror couldn't help but turn around, clearly reflecting Mingnan's free and graceful figure.
As if he noticed it was watching him, Mingnan suddenly turned around and smiled.
Suddenly, thousands of lotus flowers blossomed and the mirror shone brightly.
