Chapter 12: Hunting for the Rabbit
Needless to say, the princess of the East China Sea is an urgent person at first glance, without further ado, I am afraid that Miss Bai Ze will die in her hands.
I heard Tianmi say that Linglong is now living in the Shui De Xingjun Mansion, and the strings should also be running there. But one is that I don't know Shui Defu, and the other is that even if the strings are there, I am afraid that his incompatible style with Bai Zetu, the fox rabbit, will not help.
So I hurriedly drove the clouds to the Xuanqiong Palace to find Yuan Feng and them. Yuan Feng is so pure and good, he will not sit idly by.
I looked up at the vigorous and neat Xuanqiong Palace door plaque, but like a lonely gatekeeper, there was silence all around, and the gate was closed.
I clenched my palms, focused, and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened and was one person wide, and the immortal attendant who answered the door was very familiar, and after a little recollection, it was actually the one who was bitten by me when I first came to Xuanqiong Palace as a rabbit a hundred years ago.
The immortal servant frowned and wondered, "Which one?"
Yes, I've lived here for more than 100 years, but I've always been a rabbit. A few days after turning back into human form, I was taken to Kaiyang Palace by Yuan Feng, and this immortal servant naturally didn't remember me. It's good that he doesn't remember, if he knew that I bit him back then, he wouldn't have to hate me.
I was about to enter after I made my intentions clear, but the immortal attendant staggered and blocked me without a trace: "Your Highness is not here." ”
My heart sank, and I hurriedly asked him, "Ye Yu, Emperor Jun Ke, and that white-haired Ling Shuangying?"
The fairy attendant seemed a little surprised that I knew so many people, and his eyes widened a little, but in the end, he returned to normal, and he still didn't say that he was there.
"The prince is hiding from the princess of the East China Sea, I'm not Linglong, I have something important!" I took half a step to the right, trying to look inside through the gap. The hateful fairy servant quickly closed the palace door a little more, obscuring my vision.
"It's really not here, can this sister Xian'e come back another day?" the fairy waiter bent over and stretched out his hand to see off the guest.
"And where have they gone? I've got something really big going on!" I was a little flustered.
"I really don't know this. "The answer is perfect.
"In this case, please ask the fairy friends to draw me a map of the Shui De Xingjun Mansion, so that I can go and find others. I calmed down and smiled at him.
The fairy attendant closed the door and went back, and after a while, he actually came back and gave me a piece of rice paper with a map of Shuide Mansion drawn.
Holding rice paper, while studying and driving the clouds, I turned around and went around to a mansion with a familiar atmosphere.
Walking along the winding corridor, the more familiar it becomes. When I came to an oak door, I stopped, and then looked at the map carefully, as if I had gone wrong.
Turning back, I tried to find the plaque of the mansion to see where it was, but I couldn't find it. And there is not a single immortal servant and maid around, so no one can ask.
I was struggling, but suddenly a gust of wind swept my map and flew out!
The thin rice paper with clear veins, like a butterfly flapping its wings, flew interestingly, but it made me not very happy.
I cast a spell to make the paper butterfly stop, and the paper butterfly was about to fall, but was caught by an old man who came out of nowhere.
The old man, dressed in a pink robe and carrying a cane with a flower handle, had a childish face and crane-haired eyes, and was squinting at the ink on the paper.
No, who is the immortal under the moon who has been with him for 20,000 years and has not seen him for more than 100 years!
I was pleasantly surprised to meet an old acquaintance, but I quickly realized that he didn't recognize me as I was now, and I couldn't make him think I knew him. But Yue Lao is so famous, even if I knew him, it would not surprise him.
After settling down, he just wanted to step forward and ask the old man to return the thin paper map, but the old man showed a mouthful of white teeth and said with a smile: "Girl, this is also going to the Shuide Xingjun Mansion to join in the fun?"
"Uh-huh. I nodded, and suddenly shook my head again.
It's true that I'm going to Shuide Xingjun, but I'm not here to join in the fun!
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to go to Linglong to return to Bai Zetu, who would go to the gathering place of the two women who love to die Yuan Feng and love to die to the string.
A few days ago, when I chatted with Burning String, I learned that Shui De Xingjun and the Dragon King of the East China Sea had been on duty in Buyutai, and they could be regarded as colleagues. At that time, they often took their respective daughters to play in Buyutai, presumably the princess of the East China Sea and the water god Mu Mo were also old acquaintances. At this time, it is rare for that Linglong to come to the heavenly realm, and since she temporarily lives in the Shuide Mansion, Fairy Mu Mo must also accompany her father in the mansion.
"The immortals under the moon are polite below. I nodded slightly: "Xiaoxian Bingning, I just want to go to the Shuide Xingjun Mansion and ask Princess Linglong for Xiaoxian's pet beast." ”
Yue Lao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he smiled: "It's another one who offended that dragon girl, aha, your pet beast is in her hands, I'm afraid it's ...... Tsk, it's more auspicious!"
He held the map above his head, looked at the light, spun around, and looked again.
"Tut-tut, who drew this thing, it's a mess, who can understand it? No wonder you turned to my palace of love in a daze. Yue Lao pursed his lips and shook his head again and again.
I said how familiar it is, I have been in a place for 20,000 years, even though I don't see the whole picture, but with my perception, I can feel this familiar breath.
"The old immortal master of the moon should return the map to me, I still have to study it to save my pet beast. "Hearing him say that Bai Zetu is more than auspicious, I am very worried and depressed.
"Poor Feng'er, how did you get such an unlucky marriage. It's a pity that I, Yuexian, can't control the marriage fate of the gods, tsk, poor ......" Yue Lao shook his head again and sighed regretfully.
I didn't care to listen to his pity for Yuanfeng, so I stepped forward and tore the tissue paper, turned around and left.
You heard that the old man behind him faintly pulled a long voice: "Don't you want this immortal to take you there?" One is based on this picture, you are afraid that you will not be able to find the horns of Shui De in your life, and the other is that you alone, I am afraid that before you open your mouth to pet the beast, you will be destroyed by the dragon girl whipping method in the East China Sea!"
I paused, and then I thought, and that was indeed the case.
After organizing a language in my abdomen, I hurriedly turned around, clenched my fists with both hands, and looked at Yue Lao with a deep bow.
If he can successfully save the return of the pet beast, Bing Ning is willing to clean the mansion for Yue Lao for three months, and is willing to dedicate ten years of cultivation as spiritual power, and express his gratitude!"
"Ten years?" the old man was surprised.
I turned my head and thought about it, too, ten years is nothing to an immortal like them, how did he know that I only have a hundred years of cultivation!
"Or, twenty years?" I said through gritted teeth. Although my heart hurts, in fact, for the sake of Bai Zetu, I am willing to give away a hundred years of spiritual power.
"Haha, no, no, what a good boy, let's go. The old man's stubby fingers put away the map, held the crutch in one hand, and carried my arm in the other, and walked in one direction with a smile.
This moon immortal is truly the most talkative immortal I have ever known. The frequency, rhythm, and cheerfulness of the old man's speech are definitely better than Bai Zetu!
If the old man had saved my rabbit this time, they would have cherished each other and hated to see each other late!
However, although the fairy under the moon is very talkative, he is not an inquisitive person, except for asking me what my name is and where I come from, he does not ask anything else. I had a frank official monologue: "Little Immortal Bingning, a snow rabbit elf who traveled out in Frozen Heaven City many years ago, will practice in the Nine Heavens in the future, and ask the Immortal Master for more advice." ”
"Haha, it's okay, the old man likes rabbits! Isn't the fairy's pet beast also a rabbit in the form of a man?"
It's really as smart as Bai Zetu, "Exactly." I replied. "The hateful dragon girl, even the little rabbit will not be spared, the old man will help you get it back!"
When it comes to Princess Linglong, Yue Lao doesn't have a good word. said that the princess was tricky and domineering, and no one took it seriously. Then he talked about his favorite junior immortal Feng Shen Yuan Feng, and then regretted that Yuan Feng was accused of marrying this arrogant dragon girl. Then, if he can be in charge of fairy love, he must make a pair of Yuan Feng and Mu Mo of the Shui De family, saying that it is a good couple!
Of course, as soon as he mentioned Mu Mo, he belittled the scorching string for a while. Infinitely lamenting such a beautiful woman, an elegant water god, how can he fall in love with this useless fox demon.
"Isn't the Burning String Monarch good-for-nothing, isn't he already a Divine Monarch?" I asked curiously.
"It's just an empty title, the prince rescued him to the heavenly realm back then, and he was afraid that he would be bullied, so he insisted that the emperor of heaven would give him a god monarch. This guy is idle all day long, he hasn't cultivated the Nine Heavens Divine Fire for so many years, and he still burns his palace at every turn, compared to his deceased father and queen mother, that's really, sack sack and grass cloth bag, one generation is not as good as one generation!"
Not long after, we came to Shuide Mansion.
The one who answered the door didn't look like an ordinary fairy waiter, about fifteen or sixteen years old in the mortal world, with clear eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked a bit like a lively and delicate little girl. As soon as it came out, there was a burst of light and playful laughter, like a ray of bright sunlight shining out of the door.
"Immortals under the moon, there is a disappointment!" "Little girl" bowed her hands, still her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and although her voice was slightly immature, it was very warm and clear.
"It's been a long time, haha. The immortal under the moon seemed to be very happy, pulled me to my eyes, pointed at me and said to the envoy of the tin star: "This is the little fairy that the old man just met, called Bing Ning." ”
I hurriedly saluted: "Hello, the envoy of the tin star, I am condensing under the ice." ”
At this time, I remembered that this envoy of the tin star came, a hundred years ago in the Huoyun Palace, it was this tin star envoy who sent back the hidden spirit bracelet that the careless fox had fallen on the Shuide Mansion.
As soon as I thought of this, I subconsciously looked at the hidden spirit bracelet that shimmered with a faint blue light on my wrist, and then glanced slightly at the star envoy. No, he was meeting his big eyes with a flickering halo, and those eyes were clearly with imperceptible doubt, and it was obvious that he had noticed the bracelet.
I think that when he was in charge of sending the bracelet there, he had already looked at it carefully, and the appearance of the burning string who went to the palace gate to get the bracelet at that time must have impressed him, and he couldn't forget the bracelet. I asked him to see him this time, I'm afraid that in his heart, he already thinks that I have a lot to do with the burning strings.
The envoy quickly retracted his gaze, saluted, called Sister Xian'e, and led me and Yue Lao into the Shuide Mansion.
I thought we would go to the main hall to meet Shuide Xingjun first, but unexpectedly, the star envoy led us directly to an elegant dining room called Qing Shui Zhai.
Pushing the door in, I saw that there was a long mahogany table in the hall, and there were a variety of cups, plates, dishes, and delicacies on the table.
A blue-robed fairy with a thin face sat in the first place, and on the left sat two goddesses and immortals I had seen, none other than Mu Mo, the god of water, and Princess Linglong.
Mu Mo hurriedly got up and saluted us, but Linglong just glanced at me with a pair of sharp eyes. These details are not important, in my opinion, the most important thing is that there is neither a burning string nor a yuan feng here! In this way, there are very few helpers, and I don't know if I can get Bai Ze Rabbit back by relying on this old month.
Yue Xi led us to sit down in the lower right first, Yue Lao sat beside Shui De, then me, and next to me was Wei Xi.
As soon as he sat down, the fairy in Tsing Yi smiled kindly: "Today, I originally invited the prince and the scorching string king, but unfortunately, the two of them were delayed and did not come. Yue Lao and this fairy came, just not to waste a table of food, Benjun was very pleased. ”
Yue Lao's eyebrows twitched, and I had doubts in my heart, and as soon as my fingertips moved, I immediately bent my eyes and smiled: "Yue Xian Venerable, it's better to taste this soup first." After that, he scooped the soup for Yue Lao, and moved carefully.
It's also strange to say, except for the sound of soup entering the bowl, there is no other noise in the hall, and the atmosphere is very weird.
Yue Lao took a sip of the soup and praised it: "Good soup, it must be from the hands of Fairy Mumo." ”
"The immortals under the moon have won the prize. Mu Mo bowed slightly towards the old man.
He immediately served a bowl for me, and shook the spoon with his fingers very considerately, and blew the hot soup elegantly with his hands down before handing it to me.
I took a sip, it was really delicious and abnormal, and it was many times better than the soup in Xuanqiong Palace and Kaiyang Palace!
I lightly stepped on the instep of Yue Lao's foot and motioned for him to hurry up and ask about the pet beast. The old moon comprehends.
"Brother Shuide, this friend of mine lost a rabbit pet beast, and Gong'e said, it seems that she saw that Princess Linglong picked it up, but I don't know if it can be in your mansion?"
Shui De seemed to be stunned and looked at Linglong. The princess's face didn't change at all, and she looked at me coldly and said, "Isn't that Yuanfeng's precious pet beast, when did it give it to you?"
"I don't know where the princess hid her? Please return it to Bingning, if she has collided with the princess, Bingning apologizes to you for her. I suppressed my anger.
"Linglong, hurry up and return other people's pet beasts to others. Mu Mo touched Linglong's hand with one hand and persuaded in a harmonious voice.
"I taught her a lesson, and let her go, and I don't know where she is now. Linglong snorted coldly.
I was furious, slammed to my feet, and ran out without saying hello to anyone.
It seemed that I heard Yue Lao calling me from behind, but I saw that he was not very serious, so I no longer expected him to return to Bai Zetu.
Although I was not convinced that Linglong was telling the truth, I had a gut feeling that this princess, though rude, did not look like a deceitful person. Besides, she knew that Yuan Feng loved this rabbit, how could she really be ruthless, most likely it was to teach a lesson and let it go.
Bai Zetu may have already returned to Kaiyang Palace, I hurried back to Kaiyang Palace, except for a few little fairy attendants, no one came back.
Where did you go, Bai Zetu, Emperor, Burning String, Yuan Feng, Night Feather, how did they all disappear without a trace!
I began to wander around the Heavenly Palace in a panic, and when I met someone, I asked if I had ever seen a little rabbit with a snow-white body.
I was looking for it until nightfall, I was disheartened, and I slowly walked in the direction of Kaiyang Palace with depressed steps, I hope to go back at this time, Bai Zetu is already waiting for me in Kaiyang Palace.
Passing by the Guanghan Palace, several fairy maids were sitting under the laurel tree in front of the palace chatting, because I heard the word "rabbit" they spit out from time to time, I couldn't help but approach and chat with them.
I saluted them first, and said enthusiastically, "Sister Xian'e, are you talking about the jade rabbit of Fairy Chang'e?", and sat down opposite them as I spoke.
The evening breeze blows on the face, and the fragrance of laurel flowers is refreshing and pleasant. It is undeniable that this Guanghan Palace can truly be regarded as the most tranquil and beautiful place in the Nine Heavens.
"Yes, you are a fairy from which palace, I haven't seen it before. A fairy asked with a cute smile.
"I am Bing Ning, the immortal maid of the Wuyang Emperor of Kaiyang Palace. This time, I lost the rabbit raised by my emperor, and I didn't find it for a day. It's similar to your fairy's jade rabbit, have you ever seen it?"
Although I didn't have much hope, I still asked, but unexpectedly, they looked at each other and began to discuss something!
I was shocked, Bai Zetu was not caught by them!?
I hurriedly held the hand of a Xian'e in front of me with both hands: "Sister Xian'e, I can't find the rabbit, the emperor can't spare me, have you seen it?" I pinched my throat and pretended to be so anxious that I was about to cry.
Xian'e's sisters are kind-hearted, and one of them said: "I did meet one, and it looks very similar to my jade brother." ”
Brother Yu'er, the Jade Rabbit of the Moon Palace in the mouth of the mortals in the dust viewing mirror has always been a little girl, and I don't want them to call her Brother Yu'er!
But that's not the point of the question, "What about the rabbit?"
They didn't answer, but Sister Xian'e, who was on the far left, suddenly ran into the Guanghan Palace. After a while, Fairy Chang'e, the first beauty in the heavenly realm, came out with a snow-white rabbit in her arms.
My first reaction was that she was holding a jade rabbit that should be hers. However, the rabbit's icy and sharp cry immediately made my heart flutter.
I deeply thanked Chang'e, and flew to Kaiyang Palace with Bai Zetu in my arms.
It turned out that the princess of the East China Sea did not lie, nor did she beat and scold her, but just threw her far away from the Yang Palace to vent her anger. The rabbit was not a road idiot, so he jumped to Kaiyang Palace by himself.
Who knew that when passing by Guanghan Palace, he met Brother Yu'er, that is, Jade Rabbit. That jade rabbit turned out to be a pure man! Just because she looked snow-white and cute, she was rumored to be a girl, and it was passed on to the world.
That Yu Ge'er stole the osmanthus wine of Fairy Chang'e, and drunkenly stopped Bai Zetu from leaving.
"What a rabbit!" I said angrily. Bai Zetu hurriedly explained for Brother Yu'er. It turned out that the Jade Rabbit drank too much wine, but when he saw that Bai Zetu looked as cute as himself, he dragged Bai Zetu to chat.
Bai Zetu is also a chatterbox, so he talks to him cooperatively. This fairy Chang'e is too fairy, so she doesn't have many friends. Brother Yu said that she had a good relationship with the water god Mu Mo, but because she liked the fox god monarch, the relationship was not good now.
As soon as Chang'e had something on her mind, she would tell Brother Yu that now she knew something important about the Burning String King from the mouth of a Heavenly Emperor's retinue, but she didn't know whether to tell the Burning String Monarch, which was very sad.
"What's the big deal?" I naturally want to ask one more question about the big thing about the strings.
Bai Ze Rabbit leaned close to my ear.
"It is said that the Queen of the Fire Spirit Fox is still alive......"
