Chapter XII
At this time, the people of Gu Yan also joined with the water bamboo cicada clothes and got on the painting boat to the center of the lake, and there were several round tables in the boat pavilion, and many delicacies were placed on the table.
"Hey, isn't that Sister Tang Tang and Guan Mutou?" Gu Yan saw Tang Tang and Guan Yin who were boarding the ship not far away.
"Hey, Sister Tang Tang, this way~"
"Huh?"
Tang Tang looked at them suspiciously, and saw Gu Yan waving at them with a chicken leg.
"This little one... Wood, let's go over. Tang Tang chuckled and beckoned Guan Yin beside him to walk towards Gu Yan and them together.
"Yo, Xiao Yan'er, you really came in, it seems that your strength is not bad, and you are still lying to us..."Tang Tang walked over to Gu Yan with a smile and said, at this moment, she suddenly saw a cicada Yi who was concentrating on "dealing with" a roast chicken.
"It's you?!"
"Huh?"
Cicada Yi turned her head and looked at Tang Tang suspiciously, she always felt as if she had seen this little girl of the Tang family somewhere...
Wait, the little girl of the Tang family...
"Oh~" Cicada Yi clenched his right hand into a fist and gently tapped on the palm of his left hand. "I remember, you're the stupid girl who came with me on a 'day trip to prison'."
"You're a stupid girl! You liar! Tang Tang gritted his teeth and said angrily.
The old saying looks at this and that, it means...
Meow meow?
He gently poked Shui Zhu, who was still concentrating on eating roast chicken, and asked, "Your apprentice, what is this?" ...”
"It's okay, it's okay, the apprentice brother is like this, don't worry." Mizuku spit out a bone and didn't care.
The remaining three of them had already moved a small bench and sat aside to divide the watermelon.
Gu Yan stopped between the two of them with a headache and asked, "What happened to you two..."
"It's nothing, it's just taking her for a ride." Cicada Yi served the dishes on the other end of the table for Mizutake.
"Nothing? Playing a lap? Do you know where she is going?! Tang Tang said angrily: "Dahan Prison! Does the prison know? It's the dark, the one that doesn't see the light of day! ”
As soon as he heard the words "Dahan Prison", Guan Yin, who originally had a dead fish face, immediately "came to life", and he stared at the two with blazing eyes looking forward to the next conversation.
Gu Yan asked Tang Tang with a look of surprise: "You mean that she took you to Dahan Prison to 'play around'?" ”
"Uh-huh, QAQ!"
"What's the matter, it's so fun in prison, it's safe and comfortable, and the people in it talk nicely, I like it the most. Besides, didn't I get you out in the end..."Cicada Yi didn't care.
"You..."
"Smack, smack..."
The boatman Lao Zhai clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention.
"Tonight, the people who can come to this 'Moon Pavilion' are outstanding talents from all over the world, and my Lao Zhai has no ability, it is really a great honor to send you on this journey, and the front is almost to the place, come, let's have a drink together!"
"Good! Drink! ”
"Mr. Zhai has a good temperament..."
Gu Yan frowned, drank a small glass of bitter sake, turned his head to look at Guan Yin, who was sitting with a knife, and said, "You don't drink?" ”
"Drinking and making mistakes."
"It's wood..."
"Ha..." Lao Zhai looked at a stone island not far away with the wine in his hand and said loudly: "The boy on the island, you still need to board the boat to go to the 'Yuezhong Pavilion', and I won't charge you for the boat this time." ”
"The boatman has good eyesight."
Only a nice male voice was heard, and a boy in Tsing Yi had slowly fallen beside Lao Zhai.
"Hahahaha, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, childe, please." Lao Zhai laughed and took a small glass of wine again and handed it to the boy in Tsing Yi.
The boy in Tsing Yi took the wine glass and sniffed it lightly and smiled: "Interesting, then Lei has thanked the boatman." ”
Gu Yan, who was lying on the railing of the boat and chatting with Su Xian, who had fallen asleep again, looked over there.
"Is this the person the two brothers Wang Lung told me to be careful? It's not bad..."
"Haha, ladies and gentlemen, there is the Yuezhong Pavilion in front."
When everyone heard this, they saw that a small island appeared in front of the painting boat, and there was a pavilion on the island, and next to the pavilion was an unknown giant tree with a crooked neck, and there was a small pavilion on the branches of the giant tree.
The painting boat stopped at the beach on the edge of the island, a partition was lowered, and everyone began to get off the boat one after another, Gu Yan returned to the boat railing to say goodbye to Su Xian but did not find the other party.
"Did you leave? ...”
Gu Yan smashed his mouth and thought, suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and frowned uncertainly...
"Xiao Yan'er, let's go." Seeing Gu Yan stunned, Hook Kiss walked over to remind him by the railing.
Gu Yan came back to his senses and trotted in front of everyone and whispered: "This place is weird, be careful." ”
"What did you find?" Chen Cheng asked curiously.
"Now is not the time to speak, let's go down first."
Everyone nodded in understanding and silently fell at the back of the team, and Lei Yin, who had already gotten off the boat earlier, saw the people who took the initiative to go to the end of the team and said to himself: "Did they find out too..."
After everyone got off the boat, the painting boat put away the partition and slowly turned around and returned, everyone suddenly became confused, this small island is surrounded by water on all sides, and they don't know where the land is, how should they go back if they are left here?
"Ahem, you don't have to panic, the painting boat will come back to pick you up after the banquet."
Everyone looked for the sound, and saw a woman pushing a handsome man slowly, the man seemed to be not in good health, his face was pale, his lips were purple, he covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, coughed lightly, and continued:
"In Xia Yanqing, I am a senior who is one year older than you, and I am also one of the twelve directors of the student union of the academy at that time, so you can call me Senior Yan."
Saying that, he coughed violently a few times and smiled apologetically: "It's not good to keep you cold outside all the time, come on, the banquet is ready, let's talk as we walk." ”
Everyone followed Yan Qing into the pavilion, the first thing that caught their eyes was a bluestone paved road, on both sides of the road was gurgling and misty hot spring water, there were still some warm water fish swimming happily in the water, and the most peculiar thing was the cherry blossom trees planted on the side.
Someone asked suspiciously: "This cherry blossom is supposed to bloom in March or April, but it's almost late autumn, why are they still blooming so beautifully?" ”
"Oh, this cherry blossom was made up by the students of the Agricultural Academy in the academy. Not only cherry blossoms, but also other flowers, medicinal herbs, and even crops, they have also cultivated many that can grow out of season. Yan Qing replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Guan Yin couldn't help but ask: "Since there is such a crop, why don't you hand it over to the imperial court?" If there is such an out-of-season crop, the harvest of the people will also be greatly improved! The number of people starving to death every year will also be reduced considerably! ”
"Heh, if you hand over this crop to the imperial court, there will be fewer deaths? It wasn't for some guys who were impartial and selfish that would starve so many people to death every year. And why should the things developed by the academy be handed over to others? Senior Yan, you say yes. Someone sneered and contradicted Guan Yin.
Yan Qing didn't answer, but patiently explained: "It's not that the academy doesn't want to share it with people, but this technology is not perfect yet, and it is difficult for ordinary people to support it if there is no special care from the students of the agricultural academy. ”
Guan Yin wanted to speak again but was stopped by Tang Tang on the side, he sighed and silently followed the team to continue walking.
After everyone walked through the cherry blossom corridor and went up a number of steps, what was in front of them was not the imaginary jade food Qiong Yao, but an empty square, and there were many high and low keys floating in the square.
Yan Qing asked the woman to stop the wheelchair and turned to face everyone and smiled: "Okay, it's the place, but your food is not here." ”
"And where are they?" Lei Yin asked lightly.
"Behind these doors." Yan Qing pointed to the three iron gates of blue, yellow, and purple on the other three walls behind her.
"The Purple Gate has the best dishes, and the Green Gate is the second, and the keys to enter these doors are hung above your heads, and you can enter by obtaining the key corresponding to the iron door."
"Is this a pre-enrollment test?" Lei Yin asked.
Yan Qing didn't answer, just looked at him with a light smile.
"Interesting, then let Lei come first." After speaking, Lei Yin's toes touched the ground slightly, and the whole person was like a thunderbolt, and he quickly went towards the highest and only platinum key hanging above his head.
And he had just flown up only two feet, when he saw a sudden crack in the wall around him, and an iron spear stabbed at him quickly.
"Hmph."
Lei Yin snorted coldly, moved his body to dodge the spear that stabbed him, stepped on the spear, and jumped a few feet with his strength, and flew over the area where the cyan key was located in a blink of an eye, but at this time, he saw that the two walls on the left and right automatically opened, and one by one the arrows shot towards him.
Lei Yin unhurriedly pulled out a soft sword from his waist and slashed the arrows that were close to him, and the area where the yellow key was located had also flown over, and when he approached the purple key, he saw that all the keys seemed to have a wit scattered and dodged, leaving only the platinum key on the top.
"Just what I want!"
Seeing that there was a flash of thunder in his eyes, Lei Yin's flying speed skyrocketed again, and he stretched out his left hand and grabbed it straight towards the platinum key.
"Click."
Just as he was about to grab the platinum key, he saw it quickly closing into a barbed circular iron cover on the top of the Finger Pavilion.
Lei Yin hurriedly withdrew his hand and fell downward, he immediately used his last internal force to quickly snatch a purple key and drop it on the ground.
"Can you really get that key?" Grabbing the key in his hand, Lei Yin asked Yan Qing.
Yan Qing smiled lightly and nodded.
"Well, it seems that this thing has nothing to do with me, and Lei is one step ahead." After speaking, Lei Yin walked to the purple gate directly opposite without looking back.
"Ah Kiss, how does that guy's light skills compare to you?" Gu Yan asked secretly to Hook Kiss.
"No equal."
Gu Yan nodded, and the rest of the people began to use various methods to start seizing the key in the air, but he walked up to Yan Qing and asked, "These mechanisms, aren't you afraid of hurting us?" ”
Yan Qing smiled lightly and shook her head.
"Then I understand, thank you Senior Yan..."
Gu Yan returned to Liuying and the others and whispered, "I need your help." ”
"Oh? You say, do you need us to take one down for you? Chen Cheng knew that Gu Yan didn't know martial arts, and said kindly.
Gu Yan shook his head: "Wait for Ah Kiss to go up with you, and ask you to help block other people and mechanisms." ”
"No problem, we've got it covered." Tang Tang said, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Hook Kiss pulled Gu Yan aside and asked, "I don't need their help, I can help you bring a purple key down." ”
"The Purple Key is not the target, I want the platinum one."
"But the iron cover..."
"That's fake."
Hook Kiss was stunned.
"It's not just that hood, most of everything here is fake, it's illusion."
"No way, I've been on my guard..."
"It's wine." The old saying said firmly: "The wine we drank on the painting boat had something in it." ”
"Guan Yin didn't drink."
"But he smelled the incense, and there was a problem with the incense burned on the ship."
That's right, I had this guess as early as I saw Su Xian Guyan on the lake next to the railing, and it wasn't until I asked Yan Qing if she was not afraid of hurting the academy that this conjecture was confirmed.
"Trust me, when the time comes, just take the key and nothing else. They'll stop you from trying to snatch the key. ”
"Okay," Hookkiss gritted his teeth. "Just trust you little devil for once."
After a while, Chen Tang and Guan Yin nodded to Hook Kiss and took the lead in jumping into the air, and then the girls of the stream also followed, and Hook Kiss saw Gu Yan give him a thumbs up and took a deep breath with a grimace and flew into the air.
With the help of Liuying and the others, Hook Kiss, who was not weak in strength, had already reached the area where the purple key was located.
"What is she doing here? I've got a purple key. Chen Cheng asked as he blocked a sharp sword shot at the fireflies.
"I don't know, maybe I want to see if I can get that white gold."
Sure enough, the people saw Hookkiss flying straight towards the platinum key, and the key also "shrunk" into the barbed iron cover like a square now, thinking that Hook Kiss would give up, but they saw that she still stretched out her white and tender little hand to the iron cover without slowing down.
"She's crazy?! Don't you want your hands?! Mizuku shouted in horror.
As it turned out, Hookkiss didn't go crazy, and her hand magically "passed" through the iron cover under the horrified gaze of everyone, grabbed the platinum key and took it down.
“......”
The air was suddenly silent, and then the people around them came to their senses and looked eagerly at the hook kiss with the key in hand.
Tang Tang, who was carrying a miserable white man's puppet behind him, held his forehead speechlessly and said, "I know that this little guy is going to do something..."
"Hahaha, it's okay, doesn't this also prove that the little brother of the ancient saying is powerful, these guys want to grab the key? Get past me first! Chen Cheng laughed and stood in front of Hook Kiss, and Liuying and Mo Yun also quickly approached and surrounded Hook Kiss in the center of everyone.
"Bang bang."
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Yan Qing suddenly applauded, and he came to Hook Kiss and said with a smile: "Girl, good eyesight, congratulations." ”
"Oh, thank you." Gu Yan suddenly squeezed over from Cicada Yi and took the platinum key in Cicada Yi's hand.
"Thank you Senior Yan for the reminder."
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "What's your name?" Very good. ”
"Ancient sayings, ancient and modern ancient sayings, prudent words."
Well? Is it the little guy that Zhou Lao and Zhuo Lao mentioned? It's unusual.
Yan Qing thought about it and patted Gu Yan's shoulder and said, "Come on, I'll take you to a place worthy of this key." ”
