Chapter 1456: Jade Tree and Fragrant Snow
Flower gardeners were digging the soil under the tree, seemingly wanting to plant something else in the corner of the garden, each of them wrapped tightly, as if they were in the middle of winter. The leading palace attendant said: "My King's intention is to plant another crabapple tree there to keep the pear blossom company."
"Can it survive?" This cold spring is biting; those with slightly poorer cultivation would stomp their feet after standing for a few breaths. If they stood for an hour, I'm afraid they would turn into ice sculptures from the inside out.
This palace attendant was very clever and answered: "It depends on fate."
What else could it be?
He He Lingchuan smiled slightly, listening to his meaning, the Yao King had planted no less trees here before, but one died after another.
Truly willful.
He He Lingchuan walked past the flowers, and suddenly heard a rustling sound above, as if he were in a bamboo sea.
He looked up, and the pear tree moved without wind.
Fragrant flowers flew down from the sky, like snow flying in June, beautiful and lonely to the extreme.
Pear blossoms fell on his face and clothes, with a biting chill.
He He Lingchuan even heard a fine, cutting sound in his ears, which was both the rustling of branches and leaves, and like someone whispering in his ear.
The pear tree seemed to be pouring out its heart to him.
This feeling is hard to describe, but He He Lingchuan felt that he "heard" its longing and helplessness.
This tree has quite a spirit.
The palace attendant also whispered: "Jade Tree and Fragrant Snow! Island Master He has such great fortune!"
Just in the vast whiteness, He He Lingchuan suddenly felt the divine bone necklace hidden in his lapel heat up slightly.
Immediately after, he saw a point of golden light in the sky full of white flowers, soft yet bright.
It flew toward him.
He He Lingchuan subconsciously reached out and caught it in his palm, and then looked closely, it turned out to be a deep pink pear blossom with gold edges.
In terms of beauty, it was like a crabapple in spring, but the touch was soft and cold, like catching a snowflake.
The divine bone necklace was still heating up.
It wants to eat this? The divine bone necklace has been with him for several years, and has even eaten the avatar of a Heavenly God; its appetite has long been spoiled, so how could ordinary goods enter its eyes? In other words, this pear blossom is extraordinary?
He asked the leading palace attendant: "Is this color normal?"
The Soul-Seizing Mirror in his arms said in a fine voice: "I checked, on this tree and in the water, there is no second flower with such a deep color and gold edges."
The palace attendant leaned over to look at his palm and smiled: "Very normal."
"Aren't they all this color?" Fan Shuang said, picking up a few pear blossoms from the ground, which were either light pink or pure white.
He He Lingchuan's heart moved, and he asked them: "What color is this?"
Fan Shuang said without thinking: "Light pink, almost white."
The palace attendant nodded on the side.
Neither of them mentioned the gold edges.
He He Lingchuan said "Oh," clearly it was the same pear blossom, but what he saw was different from what they saw. What was going on?
The palace attendant smiled: "The pear tree occasionally drops countless flowers like this, especially on my King's birthday, it must fall. Therefore, my King praises this scene as 'Jade Tree and Fragrant Snow,' and those who can see it have great fortune. This flower is probably a gift it gave you."
With an audience with the King imminent, He He Lingchuan had no time to linger here, so he put away the flower and, to be safe, picked up a pear blossom branch from the ground.
Walking further ahead is the Imperial Study.
Just seeing the Yao King put his study by the cold spring, one knows he indeed likes the old pear blossom.
The Yao King only wanted to see He He Lingchuan, so Fan Shuang had to stop here, and the rest was led by the palace attendant.
The Yao King sat alone in the deep palace.
He was a bit fat, not as wrinkled as an ordinary old man, but his eyelids were still loose, drooping down into triangular eyes.
He He Lingchuan found that the whites of his eyes were yellow and had some bloodshot, and his breathing was a bit heavy.
This is a manifestation of excessive liver fire and poor rest recently.
But the Yao King was still very happy to see He He Lingchuan, his face full of smiles: "You are He Xiao?"
He He Lingchuan naturally had to do enough etiquette: "Seen the King."
The Yao King didn't wait for him to bow, and waved his hand: "No need for etiquette! Come, take a seat."
Someone quickly moved a brocade stool, and He He Lingchuan sat down.
The palace attendant said to the Yao King: "Island Master He encountered the Jade Tree and Fragrant Snow while passing by."
"Oh?" The Yao King looked, and there were indeed two pear blossoms on He He Lingchuan's shoulder. He smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face stretched out, "It seems the pear blossom likes you very much."
"This tree has quite a spirit."
"Not bad." The Yao King smiled, "It never drops flowers for people I hate."
For example, Overseer Qingyang.
He He Lingchuan was curious: "How did this pear blossom get planted by the cold spring?"
"It was planted by the late King himself, saying it could block disasters for future generations." The Yao King rested his arms on the armrests, "For these fifty-nine years, I have almost never been sick."
He He Lingchuan looked amazed: "Such a treasure, must be well protected."
"It has been tempered by the ice spring, immune to swords, spears, water, fire, frost, and freezing; why would it need protection from others?"
The Yao King's gaze was sharp and his words were self-satisfied. He He Lingchuan always felt that he was not talking about the old pear tree, but himself.
"So that's how it is."
The Yao King changed the subject: "These past few days, has Fan Shuang accompanied you to stroll around Tianshui City?"
"Eye-opening. Tianshui City is rich in materials, the citizens are enthusiastic, and the local customs here are indeed different from other places on the Flash Gold Plain." He He Lingchuan replied, "The brilliance of the Miaozhan Heavenly God Temple even exceeds the Tiangong of Lingxu City."
The main god worshipped by the Yao Nation is Miaozhan Heaven.
He He Lingchuan did visit the Miaozhan Heavenly God Temple, which is also the tallest building in the city, more magnificent than the Miaozhan Heavenly God Temple of the Tiangong.
The Yao Nation originally worshipped Shali Heaven, and later changed to Miaozhan Heaven, which has been a long time ago. He He Lingchuan walked from west to east and found that the Miaozhan Heavenly God Temple was blooming everywhere in the Yao Nation.
However, He He Lingchuan knew that the All-Knowing Eye of the Miaozhan Heavenly God Temple in Tianshui City, or the Dharma Eye, was just a decoration, and the real magic weapon was still in the Tiangong.
He had also suffered from this thing.
Knows the goods. A smile appeared on the Yao King's face, but He He Lingchuan continued:
"It's a pity that the Gu family and the Bu family have closed their doors to guests, and I went to visit according to the agreement, but I couldn't see them."
The Wei-Silver Agent of the Gu family and the Fragrant Music Beans of the Bu family were all trading materials written in the agreement. According to the task assigned by the Yao King to several families for official monopoly, they were to do business with He He Lingchuan.
This was the bait to lure He He Lingchuan to Tianshui City. Now that people have come, but they can't eat the bait guaranteed by the Yao King, it is truly unreasonable.
"The current situation is a bit special, it's not that they don't want to do business with you." Thinking of the Bu family being reported by Overseer Qingyang, the Yao King's smile faded a little, "Don't worry, these can all be solved."
"With the King's golden word, my worries are gone." He He Lingchuan was overjoyed, "Then what's next—"
He quickly listed seven or eight more, all of which were commodities on the agreement list. The Yao King nodded patiently: "Rest assured, you won't be shut out again later."
Merchants value profit, sure enough, they climb up the pole, haha. ===== CHAPTER 1457 =====
