Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights, and when he finished telling the story, he fell asleep in bed. Bingyu was also sleepy, seeing that the second uncle was sleeping dimly, he also found a bed and began to make up for sleep.
……
……
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the traditional Lantern Festival, whether in the mortal world or in the fairy world, this festival is very important. On this day, the East China Sea can be described as very lively, whether it is a street or an alley, every household has hung up red lanterns, in the Crystal Palace, it is even more dressed up, because today is not only the Lantern Festival, but also the day when Princess Xinyu and the son of Prime Minister Gui Wude got married.
In the Crystal Palace, the palace ladies danced, the wind music sang and the flute, and the fairy music sang in unison. The table was full of exotic fruits, delicacies and wines. Palace lamps of various shapes are hung on the beams. On the carved beams and painted columns, there are countless dragon-shaped patterns, and those patterns are fangs and claws, and the image is realistic.
The big red brocade decorates the Dragon Palace with joy. The red candles flickered, illuminating the entire Crystal Palace. The gods who came from all over the world either rode mounts or rode clouds, and flocked into the Dragon Palace from all directions, squeezing the water inside and outside the Crystal Palace.
The dragon king received the guests with a smile on his face. If it weren't for this kind of occasion, everyone would usually be busy with each other, and there would really be no chance to meet, but now, receiving an invitation from the Dragon King is just a chance to give everyone a chance to get together.
"Erlang God, the third prince, you are here too?" Big Dipper-kun said hello.
"Yes, Xingjun has been doing well lately, but I haven't seen you for a long time." Erlang God and the third prince Shi Lidao.
"Old man in Antarctica, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your body is getting tougher and tougher." Taiyi Zhenren stepped forward and arched his hand.
"Drag your blessing, the old body is still healthy." The Antarctic Immortal Weng handed over the mount Bailu to a small door pupil and took Taiyi Zhenren's hand. "Why don't I see you go to my place to play chess, what have you been busy with lately?"
"It's not about refining those pills. Last time, the monkey destroyed the Dan furnace and stole the elixir, and it took me a lot of effort to repair the Dan furnace. ”
"A while ago, Guanyin Bodhisattva came to me and asked me for some elixir, saying that I wanted to cross some destined people to become immortals, and I said that I didn't have it at hand, so I could only refine it now."
"Guanyin gave me seven seven forty-nine days and asked me to refine a hundred pills of elixir for her. I don't know who she wants to give all these elixirs. I had to work day and night, and I had no time to spare. Don't talk about playing chess, you don't even blink your eyelids. ”
"Oh, it seems that you are indeed quite busy, so when you are busy for a while, I will invite you to tea?" The Antarctic Immortal stroked his beard, which was as white as silver, and said with a smile.
"Okay, that's it." Taiyi Zhenren nodded, took the hand of the Antarctic Immortal Weng and found an empty place to sit down.
In **, a maidservant helped Xinyu insert the last pearl flower, and then put on a colorful Xia dress and covered her with a red hijab. When the auspicious time came, he helped Xinyu out of the **. A bride of joy came over, took the newlyweds' hands, helped them on the sedan chair, carried them all the way into the prime minister's house, made a big salute, worshiped the hall, and sent them into the cave room.
The gods and goddesses from all walks of life sat down, and the palace maids had already served wine and food. The food and drink were sumptuous. What flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the water, you have heard of everything but you have not heard of. And the cooking is exquisite, the craftsmanship is ingenious, and the taste is delicious. The banquet was staggered, and the drums in the palace were ringing in unison, which was really a happy and peaceful atmosphere.
Suddenly, the music stopped abruptly, and the old dragon stood up with a smile on his wine glass and said: "Thank you for coming to the little girl's wedding today, and catching up with the Lantern Festival, I salute all of you with a cup, and wish everyone a happy festival, longevity and health." The Year of the Dragon is auspicious and prosperous. The cyclamen raised their glasses and drank their contents. Sit down, talk to each other about drinking and eating, so happy.
At this time, a quiet music came from the beam, and the music was fresh and tactful, and the aftermath lingered around the beam. The guests looked around, only to see a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman, holding a pipa in her arms and wearing a blue tulle xia dress, descending from the sky.
Her eyes are bright, her face is like a peach blossom, her ring is tinkling, and she dances lightly. The song "Pipa Xing", whirling back and forth, like crying and complaining. It was a breath of amazement to all of you.
The song was closed, and the woman stepped forward to salute. The dragon king took her hand and walked to the guests and said: "This is my ninth daughter Bingyu, who likes to compose poetry since she was a child, and loves music, and also likes to dance swords and make swords and some Xuanmen spells. I don't know which brother is willing to take the little girl as an apprentice, and the old man is very grateful. After the Dragon King finished speaking, Bing Yu hurriedly leaned down and gave all the teachers and uncles ten thousand blessings.
When the Antarctic Immortal Weng saw this child, he felt very fateful, and hurriedly said: "If this child likes Xuanmen spells, I will know one or two tricks, why don't you go back with me, and I will teach you how?" ”
The immortal masters hadn't reacted yet, and after the Antarctic Immortal Weng finished speaking, they realized how happy it was to receive such a smart, studious, and beautiful apprentice. So, Patriarch Bodhi stood up and said, "I think this kid Bingxue is smart, humble and studious, it just so happens that I lack such an apprentice over there, old-timer, why don't you give it to me." ”
"Then how can I do it, I don't have any disciples here, you are on the square inch mountain, but the disciples are like clouds, is there still a lack of such an apprentice?" The Antarctic immortals are not far behind.
"Although I have many disciples, there are not many who are so clever. Besides, many disciples can give Qianyu as a companion to save her loneliness. Do you want this child to accompany you, a lonely old man? ”
The two didn't give in to each other, and at this time, Taiyi Zhenren came over to play a round: "Don't argue between the two of you, let's go with whoever this child likes to learn from." Or doesn't she want to follow either of you? ”
When the two heard this, they felt that it made sense, so they stopped arguing. The Antarctic Immortal Weng sat there, looking at Bing Yu a little lonely.
"Baby, do you want to learn from Uncle Nan as a teacher, or do you want to learn from your Uncle Bodhi?"
The old dragon king has always regarded Bingyu as the pearl of his palm, originally he loved Princess Qianyu very much, but now Qianyu did not listen to him and married a poor doctor away from home, he felt very disappointed, so he transferred his original love for Qianyu to Bingyu. As long as Bing Yu likes to do it, he will support it.
He had always wanted to find a teacher for Bingyu, but there was always no suitable candidate. Today, I took this opportunity to gather all the teachers to see who was willing to take her daughter as an apprentice. He hopes that his daughter will be accomplished in poetry, calligraphy and painting, but this child prefers Xuanmen spells.
"Father, I want to worship Uncle Nan as a teacher......"
In the last two days, the unit has been settled, and I have to attend the wedding tomorrow, and I have to take the car tonight. So today's two updates are presented in advance, and tomorrow's update will be after coming back in the afternoon. I beg your pardon.
