"The mountain of Miaogushe, there are gods living there, the skin is like snow and snow, and it is as graceful as a virgin... Is there really such a beauty in the world?"
Ye Han sat at the door of the temple, reading " Xiaoyaoyou " in his hand, fantasizing about the beauty described in the book, and was extremely melancholy for a moment. He is in poor health and may not be able to go down the mountain in his life to experience the fireworks of the world and find a beauty like in the book...
The story takes place in in the Southern Song Dynasty. There is a family named Ye in in Gusu City. The Ye family has been a scholar for generations, a simple family style, and is quite famous in the local area. Unfortunately, the Ye family is small, and Mr. Ye only has one son, Ye Han.
Ye Han is a premature baby . She has been in poor health since childhood. She had a high fever at the age of three and almost died. Many doctors say that with his physical condition, he may not be able to survive even at the age of twenty. In order to prolong his son's life, Mr. Ye tried many methods, but they were useless.
Finally, he had to send Ye Han to a remote temple outside the city. The host of the temple was Mr. Ye's friend, who knew some medical skills. Since then, Ye Han has lived in a temple and cultivated himself and his health and care for his illness.
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Han has grown into a big guy, and he is also very impressed by life at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the pilgrims coming and going to burn incense, he once wanted to go down the mountain and leave the temple many times. But as he grows older, his health becomes worse and worse, and he is worried that he will not be able to live for a few days as soon as he leaves.
On the evening of that day, Ye Han sat at the door and read "Xiaoyaoyou". Seeing the description of the fairy in the book, he couldn't help but feel a yearning in his heart. At this moment, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind her: "Buddhist pure land, if you don't learn well, you're really embarrassed to think of women!"
Ye Han looked back and saw that she was a 14 or 15-year-old girl. She was dressed in a light blue shirt and cleanly, clean and neat, and her face was not covered with makeup, looking fresh and refined, and she was a beautiful beauty.
When she said this, Ye Han's face suddenly turned red and he quickly explained. After learning that Ye Han was not a monk in the temple and had been recuperating here, the girl couldn't help but feel sympathy for him. The two sat cross-legged and started chatting.
During the conversation, I learned that the girl's name is Bai Shao, who lives at the foot of the mountain and moved here not long ago. Ye Han knew not many people and could chat with Bai Shao, and the two soon became friends. Since then, Bai Shao has come to Ye Han to play every night. Seeing him holding a book every day, Bai Shao said that he had a sister, who, like him, also held a book every day, and said that he would introduce him to know him.
Ye Han didn't care about it at first, until three days later, Bai Shaozhen came with her sister. Her sister looks seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as Ye Han. Compared to the lively Baishao, she is more elegant and dignified and more beautiful. Her appearance seems to make everything in the world pale. Ye Han even believes that she is the fairy from Gushe Mountain as mentioned in the book.
Bai Shao's sister called Qinghe. After hearing this, Ye Han kept saying her name, as if it was about to be imprinted in his mind. The two fell in love with each other at first sight, but they were neglected Bai Shao. Bai Shao sat aside in disappointment, looking at the two smiling faces, looking helpless.
Since meeting Qinghe, Ye Han's heart seems to be full of her. He will think of her at night and when he is studying during the day. Ye Han thought he was sick, so he went to the host to answer the problem. After hearing this, the host smiled and said that he was just falling in love with that person.
After understanding the emotions in his heart, Ye Han looked forward to meeting Qinghe more, and Qinghe was like him, and she fell in love with him hopelessly. Until one night, Ye Han mustered up the courage to take him back to the room, and the two finally took that step.
However, afterwards, Ye Han suddenly started crying. Qinghe was puzzled. After asking, she learned that Ye Han was in poor health and probably had a life of life in a few years. But he just met Qinghe. He wanted to get married with Qinghe and stay with him for the rest of his life, but I am afraid he couldn't do it.
Qinghe was slightly stunned after hearing this, then took him into his arms, comforted him softly, and said, "Ye Lang, don't worry, I will not let you have anything to do, so you can rest assured and recuperate!" Afterwards, Ye Han gave his family jade pendant to Qinghe as a token of love. But for some reason, from that day on, Qinghe came to him much less often. On the contrary, Bai Shao came more frequently, and she would bring a pot of medicinal wine every time, saying that it was brewed by her sister himself to treat him. Ye Han did not doubt that she was there and would drink it all every time.
After more than three years, the green lotus never appeared again, and the white peony disappeared. After taking Ye Han's pulse, the abbot found that his illness had been cured, which was incredible. Ye Han then remembered the medicinal wine Bai Shao gave him, and realized that it must be Qinghe who saved him.
He was extremely excited and immediately prepared to go down the mountain to find Qinghe. Before leaving, he asked the abbot, but he knew that a pair of sisters had moved three years ago at the foot of the mountain. Unexpectedly, the abbot looked confused after hearing this, saying that he did not know and said that there was no one living near the temple.
Ye Han was shocked after hearing this. He couldn't believe it and immediately went down the mountain to look for it. But near the foot of the mountain, except for a stream full of lotus , there was no one at all. He went to the nearby villages to inquire, but no one had heard of Qinghe and Baishao. Ye Han began to doubt at this moment, whether the two of them were not humans, but monsters.
Despite this, Ye Han's feelings for Qinghe are still true, and he also secretly decided in his heart that even if Qinghe is a demon, he will be with her forever. Unfortunately, green lotus and white peony are like evaporated on earth and never appear again.
Ye Han has been in a daze for several years, and he has never stopped looking for it during this period. Until that night, Bai Shao appeared in his room. She still looked the same, without any change. Seeing Ye Han's current down-and-out appearance, she felt very distressed, so she took his hand and said she wanted to take him to find Qinghe.
Soon, the two came to the stream at the foot of the mountain. Bai Shao took him on a small boat and rode him to the middle of a lotus. At this moment, Ye Han noticed something hanging under a lotus flower. When he approached, he realized that it was the jade pendant he gave to Qinghe back then.
Until now, Bai Shao no longer hides it, and has told everything truthfully. In fact, she and Qinghe are both flower demons. Her body is white peony and Qinghe is lotus demon. When Bai Shao grew up outside the temple, she could see Ye Han who read every day, so she became obsessed with him, and then she turned into a human being and approached him.
Coincidentally, after seeing Ye Han, Qinghe also fell in love with him and was even willing to give up her life for him. That pot of medicinal wine was transformed by Qinghe's burning of her cultivation and essence, but although Ye Han survived, she returned to her true form. Bai Shao was sad and worried that Ye Han would not accept it, so she never dared to look for him.
After learning the truth, Ye Han was deeply saddened. He picked up the lotus flower and kissed it gently. After that, he lived alone by the stream and never left again.
