It is the end of October and the beginning of November, when the ginkgo trees start to turn yellow. Half of the tree leaves have turned golden, and there is a strange beauty in the red silk fluttering between the branches.
Gong Jiamu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When this tree starts to drop its leaves, I don't know how many people will come to pick up the leaves of the Marriage Tree as bookmarks. If the temple is willing to sell it, someone will definitely be willing to buy it."
The eyes of the monks on the side lit up. It's not hard to imagine that if you come here again next month, there will probably be an extra stall to buy marriage tree sticks.
Unlike Gong Jiamu who couldn't see anything, Xiao Yining concentrated his attention and turned around three times, looking around with his eyes shining like searchlights, but he didn't find anything unusual.
This long and tiring journey can be said to have returned in vain.
Back home, Gong Jiamu was still active like a dog who had let go, but Xiao Yining was completely exhausted. The two of them didn't even have dinner together, Xiao Yining only wanted to go home, drink saliva and sleep.
Then, she had a dream.
Xiao Yining knew he was dreaming, but his legs were still uncontrollable.
Who told her that she had just been educated by this mountain during the day
The mountain is neither high nor steep, and it is very green. There is a temple halfway up the mountain looming. Isn't this exactly Xiangyuan Temple
"Don't let me climb the mountain again?" Xiao Yining complained angrily.
It seems that the one who fell into the dream also understood her complaint. The next second the screen changed, and she was already standing in front of the ginkgo tree in the backyard of Xiangyuan Temple.
The ginkgo tree in the dream is more luxuriant than in the daytime, and the leaves have become all golden, rustling in the wind. The red silk on the treetops disappeared, replaced by wisps of pink smoke fluttering slightly with the swaying leaves.
At this time, half a person suddenly protruded from the tree trunk, Xiao Yining was startled, it was the first time she saw a tree spirit half-protruded from the tree.
The tree spirit protruding from the tree trunk looks very young, its face is like that of an eight or nine-year-old child, and its arms are incomplete, still in the shape of a branch. The lower part of the body was completely submerged in the tree trunk, and it was impossible to get out.
But this tree spirit spoke fairly fluently, which made Xiao Yining heave a sigh of relief, at least communication was not a problem.
"What do you want from me?" Xiao Yining asked.
The tree spirit shook his head, thought for a while before answering slowly: "Yes, I'm looking for you."
It even shakes its head slowly, like a computer with poor memory and system. It runs very slowly, but fortunately it doesn't freeze: "You see, I am in charge of marriage. Before, Someone helped me, the head was very heavy, and it became lighter when she came. So, I returned her favor."
A somewhat confused expression appeared on the tree spirit's face: "But you are here. I paid her back the favor. She is not happy? Why?"
Xiao Yining suddenly realized that the person Shuling pointed out was He Jiayin. The last time He Jiayin came, he helped the monks in the monastery untie the heavy objects such as stones tied to the red silk. So what the tree spirit meant was that it repaid He Jiayin
She hurriedly asked: "You mean returning her favor, did you do something?"
The tree spirit nodded slowly: "She made a wish, and I gave her a marriage." It slowly stretched out its "hands", which were a few slender branches growing on its human-like arms, It looks a little weird.
It pointed to the treetop with its "hand", and as it moved, other branches moved away one after another, giving way to the relatively thick branch, and then this branch hung down, like a person bending over As if lowering his head, he bent down to let Xiao Yining look at it.
A red ribbon was tied with a beautiful bow on the branch, and three big characters "He Jiayin" were written on the ribbon in flying and dancing. There was nothing beyond that.
But in Xiao Yining's eyes, this red silk ribbon is different from the others, all of them just exude pink breath, some are strong, some are light, but this red silk is almost condensed into a tangible The red line spreads upwards, as if it is drawn in another space.
She was startled, and even forgot to use her honorific title, and exclaimed, "Did you lead her the red line?"
The tree spirit didn't understand why she yelled suddenly, but he was not angry, nodded slowly and said: "Yes, she helped me, I will definitely give her the best." It took it for granted: "She has helped me before Her luck is too bad, almost none. I first helped her boost her luck, and then helped her throw the red line out."
The tree spirit was even a little proud: "I started from being able to change form, and I have accumulated very little. In recent years, there have been more people offering incense, and I have gradually become more powerful. I have used up all the savings I have accumulated over the years. If you come up with such a red thread, give it all to her."
Xiao Yining was numb.
Apparently, this tree spirit hadn't formed yet, and he didn't know much about human relationships. He only knew that he couldn't owe favors.
Seeing that He Jiayin's luck for peach blossoms is not good, he tied red silk around his body, and tacitly agreed that He Jiayin wanted peach blossoms. So the tree spirit used up all of his accumulation over the years, not only helping He Jiayin to promote love, causing a lot of luck for some who did not, but also tied a red thread for He Jiayin.
And this man who currently makes He Jiayin extremely superior is probably the person who was inexplicably connected to the red line, but he didn't know why he was connected to him, and the connection was so weird that He Jiayin changed his temperament.
"Then this red line, is there a way to solve it?"
It's a pity that although the tree spirit has been around for a long time, it is obviously because it has become an online celebrity marriage tree that it has the ability to promote good luck, and it doesn't know enough about it.
It shook its head, and asked confusedly: "I can only tie, but not untie. But why do I need to untie?"
Xiao Yining explained to it that He Jiayin didn't intend to ask for peach blossoms, that's why the red silk only signed and didn't write wishes.
The tree spirit was even more puzzled: "If you have nothing to ask for, why do you wear red silk?"
Xiao Yining was speechless. She really didn't know how to explain to a tree spirit who had just transformed into a tree spirit, the simple thought of "everyone is coming" among Chinese people.
After thinking about it for a long time, she had no choice but to say: "Some people don't really want to ask for anything, they just join in the fun, meet the occasion, and hope that something good will happen."
The tree spirit didn't understand, the tree spirit was very confused.
But it wasn't very entangled, it just said slowly: "Human beings are so troublesome. I can only tie it, but I can't untie it, and I don't want to tie it for other people. It consumes a lot of energy and is very tiring."
It thought for a while, and then said: "The red line is connected now, and I can't pull it back. The other end is not on my branch. If you want to help her untie it, you can just cut it off. If you cut it off, I will cut it off." If you can pull the red line back, it will not be connected to other people if it is not floating outside."
