Chapter 130 The Phantom in the Painting Returns to Linglong
Xiaobai suddenly came to his senses and found that there was no sound behind him. He turned around and saw Lingxiang looking at the scroll with tears on her face!
Now he was panicked, and didn't know what happened to Lingxiang. Thinking about how he was attracted by the woman in the painting just now, he thought the painting was some kind of magical treasure that bewitched Lingxiang.
He was about to step forward, but Lingxiang raised her sleeve to wipe the tears from her face and said bluntly that she had lost her composure.
Xiaobai didn't know what to do for a moment. In his opinion, Lingxiang was the kind of girl who was always smiling and quirky. He had never thought that something like this would happen to Lingxiang today.
He didn't know whether he was sad or happy, sad that Lingxiang was sad, or happy that he could see Lingxiang like this. He didn't know what to do.
He naturally wanted to go up and hug her. If Lingxiang cried like this, she must be heartbroken. But when he thought of what Ah Jin said in Langhuan Pavilion, he held back and just clenched his fists tightly.
"The woman in the painting..." Xiaobai was afraid that Lingxiang would see through his forbearance, and was also afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would hug her, so he asked hurriedly.
Lingxiang walked past Xiaobai and looked up at the painting. After a long while, she spoke: "This woman's name is Tumi..."
Tumi! Could it be...
Xiaobai was shocked when he heard that. Lingxiang seemed to know the expression on his face, so she continued talking without turning her head.
"That's right, it's Fairy Tu Mi, Senior Brother Chi Yanzi's master..."
"my mother……"
……
"Xiang'er, tell your mother what you want to do when you grow up?" Fairy Tu Mi asked while combing little Lingxiang's hair.
Lingxiang was only two years old at that time, with a fruit in her mouth. When she heard her mother ask this, she stared at the bronze mirror and thought for a moment.
"I want to be a fairy!"
Fairy Tu Mi was stunned when she heard this, and then she burst into laughter.
"Xiang'er wants to be a fairy. Why does she want to be a fairy?"
When Lingxiang saw her mother smiling, she felt that her mother was really beautiful. She looked at her mother in the mirror and said in a baby voice, "The fairy is beautiful, just like mother. She can also make rain and set fire."
Lingxiang didn't know at that time that the fire her mother set was actually caused by a fire because she didn't know how to light the stove.
In the eyes of Fairy Tu Mi, lighting the stove was the same as lighting the alchemy furnace. With just a hand gesture, the whole kitchen was on fire.
But Lingxiang outside the house was watching with great interest and clapped her hands in applause.
Fairy Tu Mi's face froze when she heard this: "Xiang'er, if you want to be a fairy, then be a fairy, but don't learn from your mother to make rain and fire. You don't have the slightest bit of a woman's modesty."
At this time, there was a burst of laughter outside the house, and a man walked in from time to time. However, Fairy Tu Mi was combing Lingxiang's hair, so she couldn't see the man's appearance. She just thought he spoke very nicely.
"If Xiang'er wants to make rain or fire, then go ahead and do it. Daddy will take care of everything. Even if Xiang'er does something wrong, Daddy can help you settle it!"
Upon hearing this, Fairy Tu Mi turned around and glared at the man, saying that he would spoil the child like this.
The man hurried forward and hugged his wife and daughter: "If I don't spoil my daughter, who else can spoil her?"
Only then did Lingxiang see the person's face clearly in the mirror. He really was as handsome as a banished immortal.
……
Lingxiang was thinking about something, but suddenly she saw what her mother was holding in the painting, and her sadness immediately disappeared - that incense burner-like object, wasn't it...
Exquisite treasure furnace?
This scroll was painted by the former headmaster and was originally hung in Xianyunju. But later it disappeared for some reason. Lingxiang cried for a long time because of this, but she couldn’t find it after searching the entire Xianyunju. But now she saw it in Senior Brother Fuyin’s study. Could it be that he took it away?
But in my impression, what my mother was holding should be a lotus pod, so how did it turn into an exquisite treasure furnace?
Lingxiang was confused and reached out to the painting, but the moment she touched it, she was sucked in.
Xiaobai was horrified when he saw this, and hurriedly reached out to grab Lingxiang, but he didn't even have time to touch the corner of her clothes. When he reached for the scroll again, he could only touch the real painting. ...
The world was spinning and Lingxiang felt dizzy. Just when she thought she was going to vomit, she suddenly fell on a lotus leaf.
The lotus leaf was as big as an overturned boat, and it smelled fragrant. It was floating on the water, so Lingxiang didn't feel any pain when she fell. She stood up and looked around, but there was fog everywhere, and she couldn't see clearly.
Just as I was wondering about my situation, I heard a call from afar.
"Lingxiang... Lingxiang... I'm here..."
"Lingxiang... I'm here... Come here quickly..."
The sound seemed to be coming from the front, but there was water all around, with only a lotus leaf beneath him. Moreover, he was not like Brother Zhaoming who could transform himself, so how could he move forward?
"Lingxiang... I'm here... Come here quickly..."
The voice kept calling, seemingly very urgent, but how could I get there?
Does he want her to swim over?
Just when I was at a loss as to what to do, I suddenly remembered what happened many years ago when I entered the map of mountains and rivers alone - could this scene be similar to the map of mountains and rivers?
Thinking of this, she tried to concentrate and move forward. Sure enough, she heard the sound of swimming in her ears, and the lotus leaves under her were floating forward slowly like a boat.
"Lingxiang... come quickly... I'm here..."
The sound was getting closer, and the mist around me seemed to be thinner, and I could gradually see my surroundings clearly.
There was originally a vast surface of water, but other lotus leaves gradually appeared, and from time to time there were lotus flowers in it, some in bud, some in bloom, red, yellow, and white, and the unique fragrance of water lotus wafted in the air.
Lingxiang kept looking around, but she only heard voices calling out, and all that was left was a sea of lotus that she couldn't see clearly...
Just when she thought that this sound might be a trap in the illusion, the floating lotus leaves under her stopped in front of a lotus clump. As soon as it stopped, she saw the lotus clumps in front of her retreat to both sides, and in front of Lingxiang, a road formed by lotus leaves appeared.
Do you want to walk there by yourself?
She stepped on it hesitantly, only to feel the ground beneath her feet was soft. The lotus leaf beneath her feet was slightly dented by her step, but it was still floating steadily on the water.
Lingxiang walked forward tentatively, step by step, fearing that she would accidentally fall into a trap - she could not swim, and although this was an illusion in a painting, the water in the illusion could also drown people.
After walking for a long time, I saw lotus flowers at the end of the lotus leaves. The lotus flowers were as big as the lotus seats of Buddha in the temple.
"Lingxiang... Lingxiang... I'm here..."
The voice kept calling out, as if urging her to hurry up. Lingxiang did not hesitate and stepped onto the lotus seat.
As soon as she stood still, she saw the lotus seat floating, just like the lotus leaf before, but much faster. Lingxiang almost fell into the water.
It’s strange that most of the Buddha statues in the temples are sitting. If you really stand on them, you might fall down when you are flying in the air...
Lingxiang was complaining in her heart, but she saw a woman standing on a lotus seat not far away with an umbrella. Looking closely, she saw that she was holding the exquisite treasure furnace in her hand!
"You're finally here," the woman spoke slowly. Her voice was gentle and pleasant to the ear. She looked exactly like the mother in his dream. She was exactly the same as the mother in his memory.
An ordinary person would be stunned with shock, but Lingxiang was unusually calm.
"Who are you..."
The fairy-like woman smiled, and that smile was as gentle as the mother in her memory.
"I am the painting spirit. You may not recognize me, but I think you must recognize the thing in my hand," the woman said as she handed over the exquisite treasure furnace. "It is this thing that has been calling you."
Lingxiang was very surprised. She reached out to take Linglong. As soon as she touched it, she was sure...
This is indeed her exquisiteness!
