Chapter 7: When It's Cold and Warm - Chapter 25
Since that day, I returned to Zhiri Palace from Mashi Street, and I had a lot of thoughts in my mind that night, and I couldn't stop. I didn't sleep all night, I wanted to sleep well the next day, but when I first entered the morning, I asked people to urge Ario to prepare early, and go to the stable at noon.
Helplessly, he got up, ate a little, and let the people lead the way to the stable.
There are a total of 100 fire dragon horses in Zhiri Palace, which are kept in captivity on a hill slightly far from the main hall of Zhiri Palace, and are nicknamed "Fire Dragon Palace". Listening to the little man who led the way, the one who was responsible for taking care of the horses was an old woman, and everyone respected her as "Granny Long". I heard that this dragon mother-in-law has been in the Zhiri Palace for decades, she is kind, has a hearty temperament, and has a skill in raising horses, so she has to be taken care of.
Youwei was taken on a wooden suspension bridge by the little guy, and then limped alone, holding the rope and moving forward slowly, it took half an hour to cross the bridge, and when he arrived at the Fire Dragon Palace, there was no one around. Youwei slowly entered the stable, and saw dozens of fire dragon foals waiting neatly, with shiny manes, well-proportioned horses, strong muscles, and a comfortable expression, which was really pleasing. Taily stepped forward to approach a white horse, patted the horse's head, the dragon foal was not afraid of life, but seemed to like the tail, seeing that its palm was no longer close, it leaned its head over on its own, and gently rubbed it on the tailed hand.
He paced to the other entrance of the stable, and when he saw two booklets hanging aside, he reached out and took them, one was for the daily use of the horses, and the other was supposed to be the fire dragon palace to take care of all the work. When he took a rough look, he saw that the second book was densely written, and he said in his heart: This stable work is so cumbersome and complicated. While thinking, I picked an open space and watched them one by one with relish.
"It's really not easy for this dragon mother-in-law to take care of hundreds of horses and manage the daily life of the entire Fire Dragon Palace." Ario said to himself, "Twice a month, you need to let the horse out of the palace, soar in the clouds, and enjoy the golden light and rain, which sounds very interesting." ”
"It's not just fun, it's the first pleasure in life." A white-haired mother-in-law appeared behind Youwei, in a gray-blue coarse cloth skirt, her appearance was not unusual, but she was in good spirits, and her hair was all braided into a coarse twist and just swayed behind her.
"You're tailed? The one who sent me to help me with the piano?"
When Youwei heard this, he knew that this was Granny Long, and hurriedly said: "Say hello to Granny Long, it is Youwei." ”
Granny Long looked at the two booklets in Youwei's arms, smiled, and asked, "Have you seen all the errands of our Fire Dragon Palace?" ”
"There is a tail to take a cursory look, get up in the morning to feed the horses, wash the stables, tidy up the haystacks, wash the horses."
"Think it's too much?" Granny Long asked, as she stepped forward to retrieve the two volumes, and then walked outside.
Youwei followed cautiously behind, thinking: I am afraid that I have the intention to put this booklet here and give it a dismount.
"The work is indeed heavy, but there is no fear of hard work. Getting this errand is much better than being poor before. "There is a tail to slow down.
Granny Long stopped answering, looked back at Youwei, but slowed down her pace.
When the two of them entered the hall next to the stable, Granny Long gave up Youwei to her seat and said with a smile, "There are more than a dozen small servants in this Fire Dragon Palace, and they live in a courtyard not far from here. He does a lot of the heavy lifting for him. Although the old body is old, the heart of a good horse is not old, so I am especially responsible for some of the horse's work. In fact, you don't need to do everything, after all, you arrive at noon every day, two hours a day, why don't you pick and choose and see what you like to do. ”
Seeing that Granny Long had a kind face, Ario did not rely on the old and sell the old in her words, and she could get along with the fire dragon foal in the future, and she was happy in her heart: "Ariwei likes horses, and he is willing to do any work." When I came to the Fire Dragon Palace, I listened to the arrangement of Granny Long. ”
"Okay, then come over every day and help me clean up the hay and clean the foals. Listening to what you said before, are you willing to let the horses go every month? ”
"I can't ask for it." If you can drive the fire dragon horse to soar to the Zhiri Palace, you may be able to find out some news.
On the same day, I borrowed the guidance of Granny Long, and I performed it when I had a tail, but it still looked like it.
In the next few days, Ario no longer needed to be urged, and rushed to the stable early to visit the fire dragon foal before noon. After all, these horses are immortal, very human, and whenever a tail comes, they are extremely happy. Ario feels that he can get along with him, but he can let go of his heart, and it is very relaxed.
On this day, when the Fire Dragon Palace released the horses, because it was the first time, Granny Long decided to go with her, first, to inform the tail of the horse's route, so as not to disturb the palace people Qingxiu, and then because of the number of horses, Granny Long was worried that the tail had no experience and was difficult to control. In this way, Granny Long tied her silver-white coarse braids tighter, and jumped on a big red horse beside her, "This is the head horse, and the old man gave it a name, called 'Feijiang'." Granny Long patted the horse's head, called a flying general, and the front hooves of the fire dragon horse under her jumped and jumped, as if to respond. Seeing this, Youwei hurriedly asked: "Mother-in-law, can Youwei choose a horse by himself?" ”
When Granny Long heard this, she smiled.
There is a tail order, and he circled back and forth in the stable twice, as if he was indecisive, "The horses in the stable are all generals in the horses, and the gods of the fairy world, it is difficult to decide if there is a tail." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and took the pure white fire dragon foal that she had seen at the first time she arrived at the stable, and the tail raised her palm, and the white horse poked her head over and rubbed it in the palm of the tail, which was very lovely.
"You girl, you must have picked it early." Granny Long smiled heartily, "I have eyesight, this horse is also the palace master's favorite, every time a fairy friend visits, it must be pulled out for observation." ”
Youwei put his cheek on it and said lightly, "Can the palace master give a name?" ”
"The old man once happened to hear the palace master facing this horse and called 'Yan Le' lightly."
"'Yanle'?" Youwei said lightly, "It's not crazy and greedy, it's full of gray hair over the years." After speaking, Youwei was already on horseback, "Yan Le, let me see my skills today." ”
The white horse under him raised his front legs and neighed, which was very sassy.
Seeing this, Granny Long smiled slightly, and with a beat of her legs, the flying general immediately ran out. The other dragon foals in the stable, as if summoned, followed. Yan Le was not in a hurry, and when the other horses were exhausted, he neighed again, and was already fighting. There is a tail sitting on its back, feeling its rhythm, and sighing: It is a good horse!
These hundred fire dragon horses were like rainbows, and they all rushed to the open space in front of the Fire Dragon Palace, and then collected the front hooves in turn, and the back hooves kicked off, and they were already in the air. When the tail is seen, he closes his eyes. This Yan Le was fast, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw that there was nothing around him, and he was already walking in the sky.
Ignoring the whirring wind around him, he looked forward, and saw that Granny Long was in good shape, and the twisted braid had been fluttering with the wind.
After a while, there seemed to be a peak not far away, and the speed of Yanle under him gradually slowed down at this time. Before getting closer, there is a tail to see that there is a hall on the top of the peak, the door of the temple is closed, and the plaque above the door is gilded: Huai Orange Palace. Only then did you understand that this place was the Lane Wu Mercy Sleeping Palace, no wonder Yan Le slowed down and circled around this peak a few times, thinking that he was thinking of the master in his heart.
Youwei was trying to let Yan Le get closer, and she could also take a closer look at the situation of the Huai Tang Palace, but for some reason, Yan Le suddenly turned his head and flew away from the Huai Tang Peak, and plunged down the mountain. Youwei somehow, looking up and looking around, there was no trace of Granny Long, and his heart was uneasy, and he clutched the reins in his hand, but he couldn't stop Yan Le from continuing downward, and he was enchanted to pierce through a white mist with Youwei. Youwei entered the mist, and found that even Yan Le under him was rare to see, and there was nothing to be done in a hurry. A man and a horse flew down for about a moment, and he heard the sound of rushing water in his ears, and saw that the fog around him had dispersed, and now Yan Le was moving forward along a river, flying very low. There is a tail to look left and right, and when he sees that there are smooth cliffs on both sides, his heart moves: Isn't this the Feiyi River they mentioned? I want to make the residence of no mercy adjacent to the Guanri Cliff, and the bottom of the Guanri Cliff is the Feiyi River, this Yanle is to take me to taste the taste of falling from the Guanri Cliff. Ario shook his head with a wry smile and looked down at the river below.
"People say that this fat river can climb the rock wall and walk in the void, but now it seems that I don't know what it means?" There is a tail heart road, suddenly, there seems to be an image on the surface of the river, at first I can't see it really, when Yan Le begins to climb up, there is a tail and then look down, surprised, this fat relics of the river is now a merciless face.
"Could it be that he casts spells on the river and wants to check my whereabouts from time to time?" Youwei was even more puzzled, "The palace master, if you want to get the news of my whereabouts, you have your own palace people to report it, why do you need to do this?" ”
There is a tail to think, "Or he doesn't want others to know, so he does this mysterious act." Could it be that Jin Udan is really related to me? ”
After thinking about it, it is rare to get the essentials. At this time, Yan Le had slowly flown to the top of the cliff, and he wanted to look at the fat river again, and his vision was already covered by a heavy white mist, "If he wants to observe secretly, with his immortal method, how can he show his face for me to see?" Youwei thought about it again in his heart, but he didn't feel that Yan Le was flying high, and he caught up with Granny Long and them after a short time.
After all the horses had traveled around and returned to the Fire Dragon Palace, it was already an hour later. Youwei was really puzzled in his heart, and Qiang Yan said goodbye to Granny Long, so he hurriedly returned to the light house.
Pinching his fingers, he has been in retreat for more than a month, and he wants to come to the sunrise. But I don't know if he can really make a elixir; And where did that golden udan come from, and where is it now; Because of Jin Wudan, Zhiri Palace and Yucheng are afraid that there will be sword soldiers, and I don't know who will kill the deer in the battle between the fairy and the demon?
Youwei was so annoying that he didn't even want to move chopsticks for dinner, and because he was thinking too much, he had an unbearable headache, so he had to rest early.
