Chapter 152: Searching for Friends

She wanted to see the terrain more clearly, and it was still difficult to see the whole picture when she flew to the air. She wanted to find a map, but there were only drawings of Lingzhou in the Lingzhou Yamen, and she couldn't see the overall terrain.

Hu Xianxian was worried, and her parents also followed her with sad faces.

One day, Hu Xianxian asked his father: "Dad, what time is the beginning of June today?" ”

Hu Dacang said with a worried face: "It's June 26, and I asked what time it is, why can't you remember the days clearly?" ”

Hu Xianxian smiled at his father, and lowered his head to think about his own business. She remembered that the day she was drawn to the sky to thunder and remove the blood spider seemed to be the eighth day of the fifth month in the world, the eighth day of the tenth month in the Qingqiu Kingdom, and it might be May 23 after she woke up from her injury. Then he recovered, and after returning to Lingzhou, it was around the third day of the first month of June.

Hu Xianxian sighed lightly, it has been more than 20 days since he came back, and he hasn't done a single thing.

Hu Dacang saw that his daughter was worried, so he asked, "Xianxian, have you encountered anything difficult?" Even if Dad can't help, he can explain you, tell Dad about it. ”

Hu Xianxian said to his father: "Dad, don't worry, I haven't encountered any difficulties. I just want to see the detailed topographic map of Lingzhou, who knows if there is. ”

Hu Dacang smiled "hehe", "This matter is simple, the Shenjun Wangfu has a detailed map of Lingzhou and the surrounding territory." When the old prince was alive, he asked someone to paint it, and they lived in Hongbin Building at that time. Although more than 20 years have passed since this incident, it took them more than half a year to draw the picture, and it should be preserved. ”

Hu Xianxian smiled happily, "I begged King Shenjun to borrow the drawing, he shouldn't refuse." Dad, you've done me a great favor. ”

During the meal, Hu Xianxian ate two bowls of rice, and her parents also improved their appetite. Her parents didn't know that Hu Xianxian was now able to eat food or not, and she saw that her parents had difficulty swallowing the food when they saw that she was eating less, so she ate it to them so that they could eat more.

The next day, she went to the palace to borrow a map. King Shenjun treated her warmly, but he neither agreed nor refused to borrow the drawings, and he didn't hear Hu Xianxian's request.

Hu Xianxian didn't care what their attitude was, and when he saw them like this, he was sure that the drawings were stored in the palace. She wanted to wait until the evening to steal the drawings, and with her current skills, it was easy to steal them quietly.

At the third watch, Hu Xianxian sneaked out of the room where she lived, and as soon as she went out, she changed her mind. She didn't want to steal, and King Shenjun's attitude was very suspicious, it was just a topographic map, and it wasn't a road map for the march, so why did he hide it?

Could it be that someone instructed King Shen to do this? The person doesn't want to let himself see that picture? Is it Cheng Haofeng or Duan Mengrou?

Hu Xianxian decided to go directly to King Shenjun to ask for a drawing, she wanted to see what secrets a topographic map could hide.

Hu Xianxian swept to the door of the Shenjun Wang's house and knocked on the door, "Lord, I must see the topographic map of Lingzhou." ”

The door didn't open, and a little maid's voice came: "The prince hasn't come back, it's late at night, Miss Hu will go to see the prince tomorrow." ”

"I can't wait any longer because of my time constraints, may I ask the girl, where is the prince at the moment?"

No one answered inside, but a soft female voice said, "Open the door, what is the etiquette of speaking through the door?" ”

The door opened, and Hu Xianxian saw that the room was a suite. In the middle is a small hall, and the wing room on the right is spread with two low couches, which may be the room where the servants rest at night. The wing room on the left is larger and beautifully furnished, with a screen in the middle of the room, and Hu Xianxian guessed that behind the screen was the place where the master laid the bed tent.

There was a woman sitting on the side of the small hall, she was scattered, she should have fallen asleep, and she only got up after hearing Hu Xianxian knock on the door.

When the woman saw Hu Xianxian looking at her, she smiled shyly, "The disheveled clothes made Miss Hu smile." I don't know what Miss Hu is looking for the prince late at night? ”

Hu Xianxian asked her, "Do you recognize me?" How do I not recognize you? ”

The little maid next to her said, "This is the princess." ”

"Princess?" Hu Xianxian glanced at this woman, her appearance was beautiful and her manners were dignified. Even when she didn't have time to dress up and hurriedly got up to meet customers, she coped with it very calmly.

Hu Xianxian smiled apologetically, "The princess and the prince can be called a pair of beautiful people, I don't know when they became close?" Forgive me for not being able to come to congratulate me. ”

The woman pursed her cherry lips and smiled, "I married the prince a month ago. Miss Hu, I have heard a lot of your deeds in the palace, and I really admire you in my heart. At the noon banquet, I repeatedly wanted to toast to Miss Hu, but Miss Hu kept talking to the prince, and I didn't want to disturb him. ”

Hu Xianxian remembered that she seemed to have seen her, but she only wanted to borrow the drawings, and she didn't notice that there was an extra hostess in the palace.

Hu Xianxian bowed apologetically, "The princess atoned for her sins." ”

The princess shook her hand lightly, "Miss Hu, don't be so polite. My surname is Ke, and my maiden name is Yajie, so you can call me Sister Ke or Yajie in the future. ”

Hu Xianxian frowned slightly, "Ke Yajie? Princess Chengjun seems to be also surnamed Ke? ”

Ke Yajie said: "My sister Ke Yarun is the princess of Chengjun. ”

Hu Xianxian said "oh" lightly, this King Shenjun still took the old path of marrying powerful people after all, but it is a pity that Shen Zhujun struggled with him for several years and still failed to spend the full moon.

"Princess, where is the prince at the moment? I have something important to talk to him about. ”

Ke Yajie bowed her head slightly, and said with some grievance: "He is still busy in the study. Miss Hu, sit a little longer, maybe he'll be back soon. ”

When Hu Xianxian saw that King Shenjun was newly married Yan'er, he let Ke Yajie stay alone in the empty room, and secretly sighed that the rich and noble also had the helplessness of the rich and noble. But she had no time to bother with these idle matters, and after bidding farewell to the princess, she hurried to the study.

The study was brightly lit, and King Shenjun looked intently at a picture on the desk.

Hu Xianxian glanced at the desk, isn't that the topographic map of Lingzhou?

King Shenjun was stunned when he saw Hu Xianxian suddenly appear, and the guards around him hurriedly drew their swords and surrounded Hu Xianxian.

King Shenjun waved his hand to let the guards retreat, "With a few of you, which is Miss Hu's opponent?" ”

He welcomed Hu Xianxian into the house again, "It's not that this king is hiding his secrets, and he refuses to borrow the drawings." Half a month ago, Cheng Zhenren instructed the king that only I could see this drawing, and not show it to anyone else. ”

Hu Xianxian looked at the drawing, "What is the secret of this drawing?" ”

King Shenjun spread his hands and smiled, "This king really can't see any secrets. Miss Hu, since you have come, please watch. It's just that I also asked Miss Hu not to take the drawings away, maybe the secret that Cheng Zhenren didn't want people to know was in the drawings, not the terrain. ”

Hu Xianxian nodded, "Okay, I'll take a look here." I just want to see how the feng shui of my hometown is, and I don't care what secrets this drawing has. ”

Hu Xianxian stared at the picture, and King Shenjun and those guards stared at Hu Xianxian, probably to prevent her from stealing the picture.

From the picture, it seems that Lingzhou City is in the shape of a steamed bun, rather than a square like the capital. The steamed bun-shaped Lingzhou city leans on Qinglong Mountain in the north, Taixing Mansion in the south, Mohu Lake in the east, and Wanzhou in the west. It is a high terrain in the north, flat in the south, concave in the east, and undulating in the west. It really looks like a mausoleum with a mountain in the north, facing south, a spiritual spring in the east, and a cypress bush in the west.

It's just that this mausoleum is too big, and it relies on Qinglong Mountain, which stretches for more than 100 miles; Thousands of miles to the south, flat and vast, and no more towering hills; The Mohu Lake in the east can lead to the sea, which is not comparable to the general tomb spiritual spring; To the west, Jingtai Mountain is not as high as Qinglong Mountain, but it stretches for more than 500 miles, which is much more magnificent than the small mound planted with pine and cypress sacrificial forest next to the tomb of King Lao Shenjun.

Leng Qiulang said that Zang Xuanjiao buried the Outer Heavenly Dragon in Lingzhou, and said that the Outer Heavenly Dragon was seriously injured and tried his best to reach Lingzhou. That is, the Outer Heavenly Dragon himself wants to be buried in Lingzhou, and Zang Xuanjiao knows very well the reason why the Outer Heavenly Dragon wants to be buried in Lingzhou.

What is the reason for the Outer Heaven Divine Dragon to die and die in Lingzhou?

In order to be able to fuse with the dragon bone of the Outer Heavenly Dragon, Zang Xuanjiao did not hesitate to give up his own powerful body. Is he so sure that after fusing the dragon bone, he can have the power to dominate everything?

Hu Xianxian looked at the drawings, thinking about it with all his might, and before he knew it, it would be dawning.

One of the guards was so sleepy that he yawned a few times. His yawn interrupted Hu Xianxian's thoughts, and Hu Xianxian glared at him.

He was so frightened that he slapped himself, "Little damn ......"

Hu Xianxian waved at him and looked at the drawings again. She looked at it roughly, didn't care about the place names written in small characters, and suddenly felt that just looking at the graphics, the terrain of Lingzhou was quite special.

The sea forms a crow's beak-shaped bay between Lingzhou, Langzhou, and Yuezhou. The steamed bun-shaped Lingzhou is very much like a strange egg in a crow's mouth.

And if you look at the neighboring states of Lingzhou, it is a different scene. After crossing Qinglong Mountain from Lingzhou City, there are two counties of Haifeng and Haiping in Yuezhou, and the other territories of Yuezhou are on the other side of the bay.

Next to the tip of the crow's beak is Langzhou in Bianyu Province, the reason why Langzhou is called Langzhou is that it is long and narrow like a corridor.

The place where the crow's beak is located at the mouth of the sea is Changkang County in Lingzhou, and the location of Mohu Lake is like the base of the tongue where the crow's beak is about to enter the throat.

Hu Xianxian couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, this Mohu Lake was like a drop of saliva that came out of this big crow's mouth and didn't eat the big steamed bun in Lingzhou.

Hu Xianxian stepped back and looked at the drawings, feeling that the bay was too much like a crow's mouth. Looking at Lingzhou City alone, it looks like a steamed bun, connecting Lingzhou counties with neighboring states and counties, and it looks like a crow holding a piece of meat in its mouth.

Hu Xianxian remembered hearing the old man's legend when he was a child, Lingzhou and Taixing were originally the same plains, there was no Qinglong Mountain, and it was quite far away across the sea. In ancient times, there was a sudden tsunami that flooded a lot of land. Just when the sea was about to flood the entire Jiangnan Province and Qilu Province, Qinglong Mountain suddenly stood on the ground, blocking the sea water. Because of the obstruction of Qinglong Mountain, the sea forms this unique bay.

Hu Xianxian didn't believe that Qinglong Mountain appeared out of thin air, and it was impossible for any immortal to do it. I only changed the Ice Hell slightly, and let Yamagata change. If a mountain appeared out of thin air, it would be enough to destroy heaven and earth.

Looking at the terrain, she also felt that this bay was too weird, but she couldn't figure out why this strange terrain was formed.

Hu Xianxian thanked King Shenjun and asked him and the guards to rest.

She went back to her room to rest, and wanted to go back to Lingzhou to walk around the crow's beak-shaped bay.

After lunch, she said goodbye to King Shenjun. When she walked to the edge of the city, she was about to fly away by a colorful magpie, when she heard someone shouting to her, "Miss Hu, wait a minute." ”

Hu Xianxian looked back and saw that it was the maid Ah Lu. Ah Lu ran panting, "Miss Hu......"

"Does the prince have anything to order?"

Ah Lu was stunned and smiled, "I am no longer in the palace, the prince sent me back to the Shen family." I'm going to see my young lady, can Miss Hu go with me? ”

"Your young lady? She wasn't in the Shen Mansion? ”

"After the prince got married, the young lady went to Qionglian Palace, she wanted to become a monk, but Madame did not allow it. The young lady has been living in Qionglian Palace and refuses to go home, and the people in Qionglian Palace dare not accept her as a beginner. Madame asked me to send some ice chips, mint and other spices to relieve the heat, for fear that she would be weak and unable to survive the heat. ”

Hu Xianxian sighed, "Pity the hearts of parents in the world." Come, I'll send you there, so I can see Zhujun. ”

Hu Xianxian stretched out his hand to pull Ah Lu on Cai Que's back, Ah Lu's body trembled a little, and whispered weakly: "I didn't expect that my little maid would have the ...... to ride a phoenix."

The corners of Hu Xianxian's mouth curved, "It's a colorful magpie, not a phoenix." ”

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the gate of Qionglian Palace. Hu Xianxian secretly thought, I don't know what happened to Shen Zhujun, who was honest and enthusiastic and a little willful, and how to persuade her when he saw her?

Everyone in the Qionglian Palace welcomed Hu Xianxian when they saw him coming, and after a few words of greeting with them, Hu Xianxian went to see Shen Zhujun.

Shen Zhujun did not decorate the hairpin ring today, his head was full of green silk and was only tied with a ribbon, wearing a dark green cloth skirt, reading the scriptures under the window.

Ah Lu called, "Miss ......", and she couldn't cry.

Shen Zhujun said lightly: "Don't cry and disturb others here." As he spoke, he did not look up, but kept concentrating on reading the scriptures.

Ah Lu sobbed a few times, wiped away his tears, and walked into the house, and Hu Xianxian also walked into the house.

Shen Zhujun heard the footsteps of the two of them, so he looked sideways. Seeing that it was Hu Xianxian coming, she closed the scriptures first, and then got up to greet Hu Xianxian after putting the scriptures in order.

Ah Lu said what Mrs. Shen confessed, and said that Mr. Shen asked Shen Zhujun to go back in a few days, and he would find a good family for his daughter.

Shen Zhujun smiled coldly, "Looking for a good family?" My father had already planned how he would settle me? No wonder the people in the palace proposed to withdraw from his family, and he agreed so readily. ”

Hu Xianxian took a sip of tea and glanced at Shen Zhujun suspiciously.

Shen Zhujun's smile was full of ridicule: "In my father's heart, nothing is more important than his own ambitions, if he wants to be a virtuous minister through the ages, he must assist a wise man through the ages." ”

Hu Xianxian still didn't understand, and she looked at Ah Lu again.

Ah Lu said indignantly: "The king of Chengjun urged the prince to marry his sister-in-law, which made the old princess afraid. The old princess asked the lord what to do, and the lord directly clapped the decision and said that it was to let the young lady and the prince withdraw from the marriage. ”

Hu Xianxian frowned and asked, "What is the attitude of King Shenjun?" ”

Ah Lu's expression was even more indignant, "As soon as he heard about the master's decision, he sent someone to the Shen family to withdraw from the marriage!" Madame questioned the people in the palace, saying that they did not speak of faith, and the lord still stopped Madame! Later, the prince secretly met the young lady, and I don't know what they muttered, so the young lady ran away from home and arrived at Qionglian Palace. ”

Hu Xianxian looked at Shen Zhujun, Shen Zhujun slowly turned the teacup in his hand, his expression was faint and there was no sadness or joy: "Han Zexi said to me, let me suffer some grievances temporarily, and when he ascends to the throne, he will crown me as the queen." How did he understand what my heart wanted? I don't want to pay attention to their power struggles now, my heart is to the Xuanmen, asking for purity. ”

Hu Xianxian asked Shen Zhujun: "King Shenjun also wanted to make a difference before, but he didn't have a strong sense of power. Could it be that after the tomb of King Shenjun was infested, he paid more and more attention to power? ”

Shen Zhujun glanced at Hu Xianxian quite meaningfully, and there was some resentment in his eyes: "Even if he had that heart in the past, he didn't have that certainty, but Cheng Hao Feng Cheng Zhenren is very sure that Han Zexi can sit on the dragon chair." The hidden desire for power in Han Zexi's heart was of course stimulated. I used to tell him not to be afraid and to do something to make a career, just to let him not waste his life, but he thought that I thought he had no real power. ”

Hu Xianxian's heart sank, and it was related to Cheng Haofeng! From Shen Zhujun's eyes looking at her, she felt that Shen Zhujun was a little resentful of Cheng Haofeng, and even a little resentful of herself.

She didn't want to explain that what Cheng Haofeng did had nothing to do with her, she just looked at Shen Zhujun's face carefully. Shen Zhujun is a melon seed face, red phoenix eyes, and a standard beauty billet.

Shen Zhujun's mandible is very pointed, which makes her facial features look very delicate and delicate. That sharp look, not because of thinness, but because of the small arc of her bones. Most people's mandibles have a slightly square angle, but Shen Zhujun does not.

She is very beautiful like this, but she is not a good face. In the past, Hu Xianxian couldn't see anything wrong with this face, but now she can see that this is a sign of premature life. Even if a person with such a face lived to adulthood, it would be difficult for him to live past the age of fifty, and he would often be killed.

Hu Xianxian said to Shen Zhujun a little sternly: "You came to Qionglian Palace to cultivate, you don't really want to cut off the worldly relationship, you are just angry, right?" ”

Shen Zhujun turned his face sideways, avoiding Hu Xianxian's gaze, "I really don't want to look at those conspiracies and calculations anymore, you fight for me." ”

"I don't want to see it, it's true. If King Shenjun insisted on letting you return to him, you couldn't refuse. ”

"He is like a beautiful flower around him, but I am afraid that he has forgotten me a long time ago."

"Miss Shen, if one day, he really soars for the dragon and welcomes you as a phoenix, as in the same nine days, you must not agree. If you are a phoenix, you may be worried about your life. ”

Shen Zhujun stared at Hu Xianxian carefully, and then smiled bitterly, "Sister Hu, I thought that after you became an immortal, you would behave strictly and stop making fun of people." But why are you still joking? ”

Hu Xianxian drank all the tea and diverted the topic: "You just remember." I've seen Ke Yajie, is she a spy placed by King Chengjun to the prince's side? ”

Shen Zhujun put down the teacup and said seriously: "The Ke family is a poet family, and they will never let their daughter serve people in Israel and ask for espionage." Ke Yajie once met Han Zexi by chance at a banquet in the Chengjun Royal Mansion and fell in love with him at first sight. King Chengjun matched the marriage, one is to win people's hearts and expand his power, and the other is that his wife begged him to fulfill his sister's wish. Ke Yajie herself didn't know that her marriage involved a lot of things, and she didn't know that Han Zexi and I had a marriage contract. ”

Hu Xianxian got up and said goodbye, "You can evaluate others fairly and tolerate others' harm to you, but you really have the bearing of a mother." Zhujun, I have other things to do, go first. ”

Walking out of Qionglian Palace, after Hu Xianxian and Caique arrived in Lingzhou, they did not go home first, but flew around Lingzhou a few times.

Flying in the air, she compared the drawings with the actual terrain in her mind, and she saw that the terrain of Lingzhou City was indeed as Leng Qiulang said.

When she flew home, she was thinking: Shen Zhujun was the essence of Zixing Bamboo in his previous life, and Han Zexi was Ziwei Xingjun, and they couldn't be together. In this life, he is a royal nobleman, she is a famous family, she should be a match made in heaven, why can't they be together?

Hu Xianxian frowned, she was worried that Shen Zhujun should not be with Han Zexi in the first place, even if there was an opportunity to gather in the future, it would end miserably.

She also noticed that it was not only Shen Zhujun who had a premature appearance, but many people around her, including herself, were premature.

It's just that even Hu Xianxian himself doesn't understand that he is obviously a long-term appearance, how can he escape many deaths and truly have the cultivation of heavenly immortals. Just because his chin is slightly upturned, he changed his life?

Today, there is only this chapter.
