Chapter 47 Chapter XVI

When Xingyan returned to Luofu Mountain from the Yushui River, the South China Sea Dragon Palace was not peaceful.In Chengyuan Palace where the Dragon God of the South China Sea lives, the third prince Meng Zhang is presenting matters to his father. "So, during the few days when you went out to patrol the sea, Long Ling let that person swallow the giant sun flower?" "yes." Listening to the old father's question, Meng Zhang answered very respectfully. Now standing in front of Meng Zhang is his father, Nanhai Zulong.Compared with the smiling Sidu Dragon God, this old South China Sea dragon, with a cloud armor and a golden crown, is tall, with a mighty face, full of beards like steel needles, cheekbones and forehead, all protruding forward. , with sunken eye sockets, his expression calm and prestige.Even if it is commonplace to say, this South Sea ancestor dragon is standing with its hands behind its back, shrouded in a ball of golden light and shadow, appearing to be extremely majestic.

Hearing Meng Zhang's answer, Lao Long nodded in satisfaction and said approvingly, "You handled this matter very well." He paused and asked again: "Have you checked to make sure that that bad bastard was really smashed to pieces in the end?" Hearing the old father's question about this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Meng Zhang's face, and he didn't dare to hide it, and told the truth: "This one didn't die on the spot; I heard from Long Ling that the hall master ate two giant sunflowers." After that, he ran out of Yuzhi Garden and fled to nowhere. It seems that the young man had cultivated strange magic power, which prevented him from exploding and dying immediately."

Looking at the face of the Dragon King, Meng Zhang continued: "But father, don't worry; according to Long Ling's report, the power of the giant yang medicine had already taken effect at that time, and the young man was covered in red light, and he burst into blood mist after running for a short distance. We didn't find it." "Well, that's true. It's just an ordinary person, so don't bother thinking about it at all." Speaking of this, the Zulong of the South China Sea obviously praised his dragon son quite a lot, stretched the knotted muscles on his face, and said: "I am the first hero of the Yellow Dragon of the South China Sea, and there is a dragon son like you. Now I also heard that you The reputation of the Marquis of the South Sea has already spread far and wide, and it is heard all over the world!"

Speaking of this, he has some emotions: "Well, the more this is the case, the more you have to work hard. Thinking about my dragon, I have nine sons. The eldest son, Boyu, is cowardly. The shadows in the upper world are hard to get rid of, and you can’t marry out to be a hero for me in the South China Sea. From the age of four sons, you are not good enough. Looking at my big South China Sea, only you can inherit the mantle of my Huanglong God Clan, spread it all over the world, and create an immortal great cause! " Hearing his father's praise, Meng Zhang's face immediately beamed, saying yes again and again.

In Chengyuan Palace, the Dragon King and his son were happily answering each other. At this moment, the palace door that was originally closed behind Meng Zhang was suddenly knocked open with a "crash".Meng Zhang was startled when he heard the sound, and when he looked back, he saw a slender woman with disheveled hair rushing in like a whirlwind. "Second sister, why are you here?" It turned out that the woman carrying the sword who broke in suddenly was exactly Meng Zhang's second sister, Xiying. Seeing the reclusive Xi Ying suddenly barging in barefoot, the old dragon father and son were stunned.Just as Meng Zhang was about to ask, he saw that his respected second sister didn't say a word, so he raised his two swords and slashed at him!

"Ah! Are you crazy?" When he was attacked suddenly, Meng Zhang was caught off guard, and quickly drew out his sword to block the attack. "Why did you hit me?" Slightly blocking Xiying's attacking sword shadow, Meng Zhang's face was puzzled.But Xiying didn't answer, but just attacked like a violent storm.Although she was faintly staggering in her steps, her figure was flying like a swan, which made Meng Zhang flustered and overwhelmed for a while. "Xi'er, stop!" Seeing a pair of sons and daughters fighting, their father frowned and tried to stop them.It's just that my second daughter is like crazy, turning a deaf ear, just whirling and stabbing non-stop.Xiying's offensive was so rapid that after a while, she almost forced Meng Zhang to call out the magical weapon Tianshan, which was only used to kill the enemy.It's just that at this moment, the second sister suddenly stopped chopping, cried "Wow", covered her face and rushed out of the palace gate.

"Second sister, what's wrong?" After being hacked by Xiying for a while without explaining the reason, Meng Zhang looked aggrieved.Hearing his complaints, the old dragon sighed, and said, "Oh, that's all, don't blame your sister. Xi'er also has a hard life. The most important appearance in a girl's family since she was a child, but she was born-" The words of comfort came to an abrupt end just now; the father and son of the Dragon God in Chengyuan Palace came back to their senses, and suddenly looked at each other in shock: So they remembered that the girl who broke in just now had no trace of scarring on her face ?Under the disheveled hair, there is a white face!

Not to mention the many sorrows, sorrows and joys in the mist of the South China Sea; besides, Xingyan returned from the South China Sea ignorantly, returned to Qianniao Cliff, and lived a simple life again.Qiongxu Xueyi was very happy to see that he had returned safely and unharmed. In the following days, it returned to the leisurely and indifferent look of the past.If there is any difference between the mountain life on Qianniao Cliff and the past, it is that the summons to Feiyunding are slightly more frequent than before going down the mountain.The head of Lingxu often summoned his disciples on a whim and asked them to listen to the scriptures preached by the head of each hall of the Shangqing.Naturally, the Qianniaoya Four Seas Hall at the southern foot of Baoxia Peak is no longer ignored; the young hall master Zhang preached on the altar, and the older disciples only take it for granted, which is not surprising.

As for Xingyan, since he went home a few months ago and listened to the secrets mentioned by the old Taoist Qinghe, he has readily understood the arrangement of the head.When he knew it, he carefully explained to his fellow disciples the principles he had learned from the volume of "Refinement and Deification of Xu Pian".The result of this kind of preaching made those older disciples even more respectful.By this time, no one had thought of the newly promoted Sectional Master Zhang, who turned out to be just an unsurprising country boy. The days passed day by day like this, and May was over in a blink of an eye, and it was going to the middle of June.From spring to summer, the stone steps of Qianniao Cliff are covered with petals falling to the ground every day;These fallen flowers in front of the court, every time the sun goes down, Xueyi sweeps them up and buries them in the bamboo forest behind the west side house on the cliff.Xingyan also named the place where the flowers were buried, "Xiangzhong".

In the summer time, there is another piece of good news, that is, the condition of Hua Piaochen, who is obsessed with Qiongxi, is getting better day by day.One day at the end of May, an old Taoist priest who was good at Danqing calligraphy and painting came down from Feiyunding, traced the image of Qiongxi, and put it in Hua Piaochen's clean room for him to watch from time to time.The constant staring, coupled with the deliberate uglification of the little girl Minglong's pretty dimple, two pronged efforts from both sides, Hua Piaochen's condition has improved greatly.Hearing that his lover Du Ziheng came to the cliff to report to Hall Master Zhang that Piao Chen's affection for her has grown stronger now, and she must be able to fully recover in a short time.

Hearing such good news, Xing Yan is also very happy for this friend. Not long after Du Ziheng visited Qianniaoya, it was mid-June.At this time, the peach, plum and apricot trees on the side of Qianniao Cliff have lost all their flowers and branches, and changed into bright emerald green leaves.The branches with lush green leaves are already full of green fruits. In the afternoon of this day, there were no clouds in the sky, the sun was bright and bright, and there was a gentle breeze in front of the cliff. It was a fine summer afternoon.After lunch, the three members of Sihaitang settled down to their own affairs: Hallmaster Zhang went to Xiuyun Pavilion to read scriptures, Qiong Xun went to count her beloved apricots under the apricot tree, Xueyi went to fetch water from the cold spring on the eastern rock wall, Prepare to go back to the house for a while to cook tea for the hall master who is reading. Just like in the past, now Qiandiao Cliff is leisurely and indifferent, everything is in order, it is an unusual afternoon in the Four Seas Hall.However, at this moment, the young hall master who is reading the scriptures at ease in the Xiuyun Pavilion does not know how his life and destiny will be different after this ordinary afternoon. "what?" "Sister Lingyi, are you here?" Hall Master Si Hai, who was studying in peace, suddenly felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing against his face, and then heard the little girl screaming. "Lingyi?" Xingyan suddenly dropped the scripture book in his hand.Looking up towards Shiping, I saw the girl standing quietly in front of the stone house, she was beautiful and beautiful, who was it but Lingyi? I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and suddenly seeing this dragon girl who has always been friends with him, Xingyan looked excited, and for a moment he forgot how to speak.In the end, the girl in a light yellow shirt spoke first: "Xingyan... Long time no see." The cheerful dragon girl in the past was a little hesitant to speak at this time. Seeing her like this, the excited young man realized that there seemed to be a trace of melancholy locked between the eyebrows of the long-lost Dragon Girl.Seeing this, Xingyan was about to speak, but Lingyi had already plucked up the courage to speak: "Xingyan, can you come with me? I have something to tell you." "it is good!" Xingyan agreed immediately.Looking at Lingyi's expression and thinking about it, he asked Qiongxun to help sister Xueyi prepare some tea, tea and fruit, and when he came back later, he would entertain sister Lingyi together. After the instruction was done, he followed Lingyi, flew up on the ground, and flew towards the distant mountains together. "What is it that is so important that you have to find a place where there is no one to say it?" Looking at the fluttering sleeves of the girl flying in front, Xing Yan felt quite puzzled. Flying in a passing wind, not long after, the dragon girl in front found a secluded mountain peak, pressed the cloud light, and floated down beside the half-person-high bluestone at the top of the peak. . "Lingyi, what do you want to tell me?" Standing on the top of the mountain, he woke up and asked. Listening to his question, Long Nu, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, didn't answer for a while.The noble dragon girl with a slightly haggard face became a little flustered when she arrived at this quiet and deserted peak.Nervously, she straightened her skirt and skirt, raised her hand and stroked her black silk hair, but didn't speak for a while. Seeing her only focusing on arranging her makeup like this, Xingyan was even more strange, so she said again: "Lingyi, you may as well just tell me what you have to say. I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and I don't know about you..." As soon as I said this, the girl who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Xingyan...do you think I look good?" Sudden question by Lingyi, Xingyan was stunned for a moment, and answered after a while: "Of course, of course it looks good!" When the words were finished, the dragon girl who was nervously waiting for the answer suddenly burst into a flowery smile, gently parted her pearly lips, and said something that the young man could never have dreamed of: "Then, wake up and marry me." "..." Hearing Lingyi's words clearly, he woke up for a moment and felt dizzy, his body was shaking, and he almost fell off!Then I heard the dragon girl speak earnestly: "Xingyan, I have already thought about it, although our lifespans are different, but when you come... I will keep festivals for you, just like the divorced wife who went to the frontier fortress... " Speaking of this, Sidu Dragon Girl's pretty dimples were peaceful, revealing a happy smile after she had figured it out. "This……" After hearing Lingyi's words, Xingyan hesitated and asked: "Lingyi, why did you suddenly tell me about the marriage?" "Well, I know it will scare you to say it out of the blue; it's just that I can't wait." Lingyi was a little sad: "Nanhai Mengzhang has come to Sidu Longfu to propose marriage; my parents have agreed and accepted all his treasures as gifts." "Uh……" After waking up and hearing the words, he didn't feel panic on his face.Seeing the change in his expression, Lingyi said faintly: "Xingyan, maybe I don't really understand how I feel for you. It's just that I saw the person who came to propose marriage that day, and thought of living with him day and night. I suddenly understood that in this life, apart from you, it is impossible for me to be with anyone else." Speaking of this, a cloud of red rose from the dragon girl's dimple, and she was too shy to speak any more. "Well, since that's the case," At this time, Xingyan also regained his usual composure from the previous moment of panic, and asked: "Since you don't want to marry Shuihou, then your parents won't force you, right?" Hearing this, Lingyi's eyes glistened with tears, and she couldn't answer for a while.Seeing this, he woke up and said that he knew the result, so he stopped asking.At such a time of panic, the originally witty young man had no time to think why Lingyi's grandfather, Yun Zhongjun, did not come forward to stop this marriage that his granddaughter did not like. Just when he was panicked, the worried Dragon Girl remembered the previous question again, and asked seriously: "Xingyan, do you want to be with me?" "This……" The young man who is decisive and decisive when encountering major problems hesitates when he hears Lingyi's question. After waiting for a while, there was no answer, and Sidu Longnv, who was originally lost in thought, suddenly turned pale.Resisting the sudden surge of sadness, Lingyi tried her best to speak calmly: "Yes, I'm also delusional. Xingyan used to just play and play with me; how can I drag you down now and offend that South Sea Dragon Marquis. sorry……" Speaking of this, Long Nu couldn't continue speaking, she turned around suddenly, and her fragrant shoulders twitched uncontrollably. "... Lingyi." Just when Lingyi was sobbing, she heard a voice behind her: "Lingyi, the person who hesitated to answer just now is just that foolish boy who never knows the girl's true intentions!" Hearing this, the words behind him suddenly became rapid: "Who am I, Zhang Xingyan? Lingyi, you are the princess of the Sidu Dragon Clan. Your mind is like a lotus root, but you hold it for me; your soul is like a cloud, but it is broken for me; your beauty is like a flower, but it blooms for me; Tears fell like beads for me again. Although the two of us did not get together for many days, at the time of evening, morning shadow, moon, sunset, and flowers, between the clouds under the water and the stars above the moon, all kinds of dreams lingered Lingering, light words and smiles have long been unforgettable to me, Zhang Xingyan. Now that I know the beauty's heart and wholeheartedly trust each other, if I, Zhang Xingyan, look forward and look backward again, it will be cold-blooded and against the sky!" Having said this in one breath, the excited words stopped abruptly; the Sidu Longnv, who turned her back on the young man, heard a solemn voice: "Miss Lingyi, I, Zhang Xingyan, son of the Zhang family in Raozhou Horseshoe Mountain, consider myself Since I have sincere feelings for the girl, I dared to propose marriage to the girl, and asked if you would like to marry into the Horseshoe Zhang family?" ... The voice fell silent, and there was silence on the top of Dongtian Mountain.After a long time, the boy who waited hard heard a trembling voice: "I am willing!" After saying a few words, Longnu turned around; when Xingyan went to look again, she found that her face was already full of tears, and she was sobbing uncontrollably. ...After a long time, the girl who was already in Xingyan's arms finally stopped crying, raised her tearful eyes, and asked softly in a gleam of tears: "Xingyan, will you take me back?" "Ok!" Xingyan agreed, and was about to stand up hand in hand with Lingyi, but suddenly remembered something, and moved his hand, and the wishful sword flew backwards into his hand.Looking into Longnu's puzzled eyes, she woke up and said, "Lingyi, this is the place for us to make love, so I'll come here to ask about our marriage fate." "How should I ask?" The girl in her arms is exactly obedient. "so--" The boy prayed to the sky, earth, clouds and sky in front of him: "If I, Zhang Xingyan, and Lingyi, the Sidu dragon girl, can reconcile my marriage, then the sword in my hand can crush this bluestone with one blow!" As soon as he finished speaking, the divine sword in Xingyan's hand flew out, and with a Qingyue dragon chant, it flew straight towards the stubborn stone next to it! Under the expectant eyes of the two, the sword tool shining with cold light suddenly plunged into the black rock with its hilt full—— However, after waiting for a long time, the piece of bluestone inserted by the ancient sword was still intact and not shattered. "Forget it, it's my fault!" Seeing such a result, the young man didn't show any sadness on his face, he just said loudly: "It's my job. Why ask all the ghosts and gods about my family's private affairs?" After clanging, the young man called his sword back to its sheath, grabbed the dragon girl's catkin, and both of them flew through the air hand in hand.At that time, it was the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the wind was blowing. After they both left, and I don't know how long it had passed, a group of mountain birds flew over the top of the bluestone peak, and a gray bird in the flock suddenly left the group and landed on the bluestone top of the peak to rest.However, as soon as it settled down, the bird seemed to be frightened suddenly, and immediately fluttered its wings and flew into the endless mountain light of Luofu Cave. And when the bird's feathers were flying, in the bright sunlight, a thin wisp of smoke was splashing on the stone.
