Qinglian’s Heartfelt Words·Different Paths and Destiny (continued·Siyi Accompanying)

6. Si Yi returns to the pond, old knowledge protects new life

On the seventh day after Nian Xia was born, a faint water pattern suddenly appeared in the depths of the lotus pond. Fine spiritual waves surged out of the originally calm water surface. A green figure slowly emerged from the center of the pond. When it landed on the shore, it transformed into a woman wearing a plain green cloth skirt.She has a hairpin made of water grass in her hair, her eyebrows are light, and her whole body is wrapped in the warm aura that comes from the lotus pond. She is the Siyi who has guarded the pond for thousands of years.

“Siyi?” I was stunned, and the hand holding Nianxia’s baby tightened slightly, and the scene when the Chaos Lotus Pond first opened suddenly came back to me, “You’re actually awake.”

Siyi walked over slowly, her eyes first fell on my swollen belly that had not fully recovered, and then on Nianxia, who was sleeping peacefully in her swaddling clothes. There was a faint warmth in her eyes, and she bent her knees and made a shallow salute: “The lotus heart has returned to its place, the young master has been born, and my subordinates have come to protect me since Danggui.”

Bai Fei took a step forward and protected Nian Xia and me behind him. He gathered spiritual power at his fingertips, but did not show any hostility at all – he could detect that Si was not malicious at all, and that her aura was in line with the origin of the lotus pond.”Are you the companion of the pond spirit grass when Qinglian was born?”

“Exactly.” Si nodded, and when he raised his eyes to look at Bai Fei, there was a bit more respect in his eyes, “This subordinate recognizes the aura of the guardian of heaven. When the lotus heart was scattered, it was you who risked your life to protect her remaining soul. Si Yi will remember this kindness.”

I pulled Bai Fei’s sleeve and signaled him to put away his spiritual power, and a long-lost warmth surged in my throat: “When I transformed, you were the one who protected me from the prying eyes of Fairy Yaochi. You have worked hard to guard the lotus pond these years.”

Si lowered his eyes and smiled. With a flick of his fingertips, a green blade of grass fell on Nian Xia’s swaddling clothes. The grass blade instantly turned into a faint light and disappeared into Nian Xia’s eyebrows.”This is the soul-protecting leaf that my subordinate has cultivated for thousands of years. It can protect the little master from the inner demon.” She said, turning around and looking into the depths of the lotus pond. “In recent years, there have been changes in the three realms, and more and more monks are coveting the lotus heart. My subordinate has set up a ‘spirit locking array’ at the bottom of the pond, which can completely hide the breath of the lotus pond, and even the immortal officials in the heaven can’t detect it.”

The guard in Bai Fei’s eyes completely dissipated, he nodded and said, “Thank you.”

From that day on, Siyi became a frequent visitor to the Lotus Pond Courtyard.She didn’t talk much, but she was thorough in everything. During the day, she would take care of the lotus pond for me and neatly trim the green lotuses that had grown wildly due to the nourishment of the thunder. At night, she would stand guard outside the courtyard, and if any strange smell approached, she would use water plants as blades to quietly drive them away.

She also figured out my taste after pregnancy and knew that I didn’t like lotus seeds but liked spicy food, so she imitated the chefs in the town and used the spiritual spring water from the lotus pond to make the soup base. The spicy hotpot she made was even more delicious than the ones in ordinary restaurants.That day, while I was slurping rice noodles, I saw red marks on her fingertips. I couldn’t help but say, “Thank you for your hard work. You don’t have to do everything yourself.”

Si shook his head and pushed a bowl of peeled crab meat in front of me. His tone was still light but with a hint of tenderness: “The young master once protected his subordinates in their transformations. Now it is our duty to protect the young master and the young master.”

7. Nian Xia is acquainted with the world for the first time, and Si is accompanied by childish fun.

On the full moon day of Nianxia, a simple banquet was held in the small courtyard. There were no immortal officials from the Three Realms, just me, Bai Fei, Si Yi, and a few loyal servants.Si Yi deliberately picked the freshest green lotus by the pool, wove it into a small garland, and put it on Nian Xia’s head. Her white face against the green lotus petals made her look like a fallen lotus fairy.

“The young master’s features and eyes are very similar to the young master’s, but his temperament has the tenacity of a guardian of heaven.” Si Yi looked at Nian Xia, who was held in Bai Fei’s arms and was reaching out to grab his hair crown, with a smile in her eyes.

I leaned on the bamboo chair, watching the father and daughter having fun, and then looked at Si Yi who was quietly choosing vegetables beside me. I suddenly felt that the fear caused by my special physique had gradually turned into peace in this company.

When Nian Xia was three years old, she was already a little girl who could run and jump. She wore two braids and spent the whole day chasing the koi in the lotus pond, or pestering Bai Fei to take her to the night market in the town.Siyi became her most lovable playmate. He would make little grasshoppers out of water to make her happy, he would take her to the pond to pick lotus pods (only the tenderest ones were picked, and he would peel the lotus seeds in advance to avoid hurting her). He would also secretly protect her behind her when she got into trouble and was scolded by Bai Fei.

That day Nianxia secretly stole the spicy beef jerky that Bai Fei had hidden. It was so spicy that she shed tears, but she still held on to the jerky and refused to let go.As soon as Si saw this, she immediately took the spiritual spring water from the lotus pond, mixed it with honey and gave it to her to drink. Then she wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth and said softly: “Young master, no matter how greedy you are, don’t eat too much, so as not to worry you.”

Nianxia pursed her lips, threw herself into Si Yi’s arms, and said softly, “Sister Si Yi is the best. My father and mother are both cruel to me.”

I stood on the porch, watching this scene, and couldn’t help laughing.Bai Fei came over, put his arms around my shoulders, and whispered: “With Si here, Nian Xia will be more stable in the future.”

I nodded, looking at the green lotus swaying in the wind in the lotus pond, and suddenly remembered what Si Yi once said – the fate of the lotus heart body is never to be coveted as a “fairy material”, but as a protected “return”.

8. The calamity of childishness comes quietly, and Si breaks the situation

On the spring day when Nianxia was five years old, a silent disaster came quietly.

That day, she and Si went to the pond to pick green lotuses. After they came back, they began to fall asleep. Her face was burning red, and no matter how much spiritual spring water they fed, they didn’t get better.When Bai Fei probed her pulse, his expression suddenly changed: “It’s the inner demon calamity! It actually sneaked into her sea of consciousness through childish curiosity!”

My heart tightened, remembering the soul-protecting leaves Si Yi had given me, and I hurriedly asked: “Why didn’t the soul-protecting leaves work?”

“This inner demon is coming for the blood of Lianxin. The soul-protecting leaves can only block the mortal inner demons, but they cannot stop the evil spirits with the greed of the three realms.” Si Yi’s face also darkened, and his fingertips were clenched until they turned white. “It was the negligence of my subordinates. When picking lotus today, I noticed a faint smell of evil cultivators, but I didn’t get to the bottom of it.”

Before she finished speaking, Nian Xia suddenly opened her eyes. There was a sinister look in her eyes that was inconsistent with her age, and she opened her mouth to bite the servant beside her.Bai Fei’s quick eyes and quick hands touched her sleep, but he didn’t dare to use force – the inner demon had entangled her sea of ​​consciousness, and the slightest carelessness would damage her intelligence.

“I’m going to take a trip to her sea of consciousness.” Si Yi suddenly spoke, and without waiting for us to stop her, she sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, her fingertips touching Nian Xia’s eyebrows, “This subordinate is the lotus pond spiritual grass, which has the same bloodline as the young master. It can use its own spiritual consciousness as a guide to lure the inner demons out of the sea of consciousness.”

“No!” I quickly grabbed her, “If your spiritual consciousness is damaged, it will return to its original shape!”

“When the young master saved his subordinate, how could he ever think about his own safety?” Si Yi raised her eyes to look at me, her eyes full of determination, “Now, it is my subordinate’s turn to protect the young master.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a green shimmer appeared on her fingertips, slowly sinking into Nian Xia’s eyebrows.The lotus fragrance in the room suddenly became stronger, and waves of spiritual waves came from the direction of the lotus pond, seeming to echo her spiritual power.Bai Fei and I stayed by the bed, our hearts in our throats. Every moment passed, Si Yi’s face became paler, and the waterweed hairpin in her hair began to turn yellow.

After an unknown amount of time, Nian Xia suddenly coughed and spit out a wisp of black-gray mist. As soon as the mist fell to the ground, it was wrapped in the spiritual grass that Si Yi sacrificed in time and turned into fly ash.And Si Yi also fell down in response, the hairpin in her hair completely withered, and the greenery around her body also faded by half, leaving only one breath left.

“Siyi!” I rushed over to support her, tears falling instantly.

She reluctantly opened her eyes, looked at Nian Xia who had regained her steady breathing, and gave a faint smile: “Young Master…it’s okay…”

9. The lotus heart nourishes the soul and brings peace of mind every year.

Si Yi fell into a deep sleep due to excessive wear and tear. Bai Fei placed her next to the spiritual spring in the depths of the lotus pond, nourishing her spiritual body with the original spiritual power of the lotus heart.Every day I would sit by the pool and meditate, breathing my lotus heart breath into the spring, hoping that she would wake up soon.

After Nianxia woke up, she forgot what happened during the inner demon tribulation, and still chased the koi all day long. She only occasionally looked into the depths of the lotus pond in a daze, and asked me: “Mother, why is Sister Siyi missing? Will she still weave grasshoppers for me?”

I touched her head, looked at the faint light in the heart of the pool, and said softly: “Yes, sister Siyi is just tired. When she wakes up, she will accompany you to the night market and pick green lotus.”

Three months later, a green light suddenly lit up deep in the lotus pond, and Si Yi’s figure slowly emerged from the spring. Although his face was still pale, he was able to stand firmly.She walked up to me, still looking as innocent as ever, but the water-weed hairpin in her hair had been replaced by a green lotus hairpin.

“Siyi!” Nianxia rushed over first and hugged her leg, “You finally woke up! I miss you so much!”

Si bent down and hugged her back carefully, the warmth in her eyes was stronger than before: “I also miss you, young master.”

The setting sun that day fell on the lotus pond, dyeing the water surface golden red.Bai Fei held my hand, and I held Nian Xia’s hand. Si Yi stood beside me, and the shadows of the five people (and the servants) were stretched very long, mixed with the scent of lotus and fireworks, and weaved into the most stable picture.

Later, Nian Xia grew up and learned about Si Yi’s past and her own special bloodline, but she never had any fear.She would imitate Si Yi in taking care of the lotus pond, pester Bai Fei to teach her self-defense, and secretly make spicy hotpot for me (for fear of hurting my stomach).

But those eyes that coveted Lian Xin had already completely dissipated under the protection of the spirit locking formation, the heavenly soldiers stationed there, and Si Yi.I still have nightmares occasionally, but when I wake up, I have Bai Fei’s arms beside me, Nian Xia’s soft words beside me, and Si Yi taking care of the lotus pond not far away. I feel that all the twists and turns of fate have become the cornerstone of these stable years.

It was another summer, and Nianxia took Siyi to the town to visit the night market. When she came back, she held three bunches of candied haws in her hands and gave them to Bai Fei and me. She also tiptoed to feed Siyi one.The evening wind blew through the lotus pond, and the green lotus swayed. Siyi looked at us and suddenly whispered: “I have guarded the lotus pond for thousands of years, and I know that the best protection is never to stand alone, but to accompany us year after year.”

I leaned on Bai Fei’s shoulder, looked at the sunset in the sky, and suddenly smiled.Yes, no matter the different paths, no matter the fate, as long as we have each other around us and the fireworks in the lotus pond, we will be safe and smooth every year.
