Chapter Twenty-Seven: Seeing the Light of Day Again
At night, when the temperature plummets and the lake freezes over, the lions sit around a large bonfire in groups to warm themselves and eat barbecues, which look like burning craters in the distance. Under the frozen lake, there is a lack of oxygen in the water, some fish surface near the surface of the water to bite the edge of the ice to breathe, a few lions pounced in the lake a few times, broke the ice and grabbed some fish, and sent them over to barbecue with a few roasted whole sheep. I, Suzaku, Youyou, General Phoenix and Li Bai, Su Shi, Xin Qiji, Yue Fei and several lion leaders around the fire while eating grilled fish and roasted whole sheep, while drinking and talking about the story of the lion country over the years, we talked about the wine, talked freely, drunk and lay down, and enjoyed a group of phoenixes on the ice lake Nirvana rebirth, dancing, their bodies with the help of the ice energy in the ice lake burned into a group of flames, the ice emitted a circle of light blue light, particularly dazzling, extraordinarily warm.
"Prince, you don't know, there is passion and pride in our bones. Unfortunately, we have been trapped in this isolated place for many years, and some of our brothers and sisters have begun to slowly become depressed and even collapsed. Suddenly, Li Bai took two sips of wine and said, his eyes were full of helplessness, and he stretched out his paws and pointed at a few gray lions by the lake.
I dried the wine in the bowl, patted Li Bai on the shoulder and smiled, "Brother, it's okay! I'll go over and see them." ”
As I walked over, a lion was lying on the edge of the lake, surrounded by jars of wine, his face red, his hair was disheveled, his front paws were waving wildly, and he muttered to himself: "I am often a guest in the sad autumn of thousands of miles, and I have been on the stage alone for a hundred years." Hardship, bitterness, hatred, frost and sideburns, pouring down a new turbid wine glass. ”
"It turned out to be Brother Du Fu, fortunately, I will be lucky!" I said with a smile as I squatted down to help him up.
"What a blessing? I've been turned into a lion by a witch, what the hell are you doing? Don't fool yourself! You are all fooling yourself!" Du Fu said and pushed me away, picked up the wine jar and grunted.
When I was at a loss, a lion knelt beside the lake and cried, he looked at the lake and cried: "Qingchuan calendar Hanyang tree, spring grass and parrot island." Where is the sunset township, and the Yanbo River makes people worried. I'm so homesick, I miss my mother's bean skin, Wuchang fish, and duck neck!"
As soon as I saw it, it turned out to be Brother Cui Hao, and I immediately pulled him up, held his hand, and comforted him with a smile: "Brother Cui Hao, there is gold under the man's knees! Don't be discouraged! Don't worry! I will definitely take you home, and you will definitely see your mother again!"
"Thank you, Prince, thank you, Prince......" Cui Hao cried as he hugged me. I gently patted him on the back and continued to comfort, "Okay, okay, good, it's okay! It's okay!" He gradually calmed down and sat in a daze.
I stood up from Cui Hao's side, and just breathed a sigh of relief, when a long-lost and familiar Song word suddenly came to my ears: "Longitudinal cardamom word work, Qinglou dreams are good, and it is difficult to be affectionate." The twenty-four bridges are still there, the waves are swinging, and the cold moon is silent. "Searching, deserted, miserable and miserable. When it's warm and cold, it's the hardest to breathe. I turned my head to look, Jiang Kui and Li Qingzhao were kneeling and sitting, hugging each other and crying, they seemed to be a sad couple at the intersection of breaking up, and I shivered. I walked over and raised my hand to pat them on the shoulder, pulled them both up, pointed to a group of phoenixes dancing on the ice lake, put one hand on my chest and smiled: "Two talented and beautiful women, why do you have to know each other when you meet, and you know each other at the end of the world." I can deeply understand the sadness in your hearts at this moment, but if you look at the beams of fire on the lake, it represents the hope of life! The phoenix has achieved nirvana in a hundred years, and hope is forged by rebirth, not to mention that both of them have survived a thousand years, and even the greatest grievances can form cocoons, so what is there to be sad about? I think we should learn from those phoenixes, learn from them to baptize their souls in the harshest environment, and test life! Come on! I believe that you can overcome your fragile little hearts! Watching the phoenixes dancing on the ice lake, Nirvana was reborn, beams of rising and dancing flames were ignited in the energy of the ice spirit, the tears in the eyes of Jiang Kui and Li Qingzhao dried instantly with the north, and re-ignited a group of flames, the two of them couldn't help but raise their hands with me, the three of them hugged each other side by side, smiled and shouted towards the ice lake: "Revive the poetry country! Come on! Come on!" I turned to look at them and smiled.
Watching the dance of ice and fire, I thought to myself, "The power of a group of phoenixes dancing on the ice lake is enough to save a depressed, decadent soul." Then, this icy masculinity should be able to dispel the sadness that has accumulated in the bones of the lions for many years. Perhaps this is the antidote to the lions. "The shiny ice reflected my pleasant smile, and God knows the pride in my heart at that moment.
I happily ran to Suzaku, sat down against her, rubbed her shoulder, and when she turned around, I leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Dabao, I know how to lift the spell on the lions, and we can use the power of the ice spirit to cheer them up from the inside!"
Suzaku leaned on me, pinched my nose gently, and smiled softly: "Xianggong, have you forgotten your divine foot pass? Frog haha mentioned it in the wood country, your divine foot pass can open the time disk, directly open up the enchantment between the two spaces of the poetry country and the outside world, and directly take the lions out." You didn't think of it before, so your Pisces Jade Pendant's powerful reflexes opened that door and led you to the Kingdom of Poetry. Hehe, I didn't expect you to be thinking about this all along. ”
Suzaku's words were like an initiation, and I suddenly realized. I remembered what Frog Haha said to me in the territory of the Frog Clan: "Prince, the Divine Foot Pass is the Pisces Jade Pendant you wear on your chest, which can open the spirituality of many magic weapons in ancient times and resurrect their lives, and you alone have the power to control it." The country of words is the twin brother of the country of poetry, just like the balance of yin and yang of the sun and the moon, it has the same root and origin as the country of poetry, and they are all born of the wisdom of Manjushri. ”
I remembered the mantra that Frog Haha recited when he taught me to open the Divine Foot Pass to the country of words: "The sea is alive, thank the sun and the moon, bless my poetry country, and the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous for all generations." Thousands of miles of poetry, worship the sun and the moon, give me a way, and open the world!"
Thinking about it, I smiled heartily, and I kissed Suzaku's forehead and smiled, "Thank you, dear." ”
I stood up with a fresh lift, excitedly raised a torch, jumped to the top of the stone monument, and raised the torch in the face of the dry north wind, and shouted happily: "My dear poets, my dear brothers and sisters, the thousand-year-old prison is coming to an end! Tonight everyone eats, drinks, and sleeps well! I will take you out of this ice cave early tomorrow morning! Get rid of this cell that has been drawn by Liancheng for everyone!"
As soon as I finished speaking, thousands of lions stood up one after another, and they "swooped" and rolled up torches with their tails, and they stamped their feet together, cheered together, roared together, and shouted together: "Revive the country of poetry!" They roared wave after wave of lions, straight to the center of the earth, resounding in the sky, making countless cracks on the ice lake, gradually breaking the ice, making the bonfire burn more and more vigorous, and instantly ignited the hope of the lion country.
The next morning, after we had breakfast, I flew to the top of the stone tablet, I took out the Pisces jade pendant on my chest, and silently recited "The sea is alive, thank the sun and the moon, bless my poetry country, and the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous forever." Thousands of miles of poetry, worship the sun and the moon, give me a way, and open the world!"
After I meditated twice, the temperature of the Pisces jade pendant in my hand gradually increased, and a ray of golden light shot out from the center of the jade pendant, which became brighter and brighter, the jade pendant flew to the lake in mid-air, the eyes of the two fish in the jade pendant lit up with a light, the fish tail shook twice, and threw out a few drops of water, the two fish in the jade pendant were connected to swim in the jade pendant, and suddenly the two fish swam into the lake, the volume became larger and larger, and the swimming speed became faster and faster, and a huge luminous whirlpool surfaced on the surface of the lake, and there seemed to be wind flowing around the whirlpool, and water was sucked in.
"Yoyo, is this vortex the time disk that the Divine Foot Pass opened? This is different from the time disk of the last time I went to the word country. I asked, confused.
"Master, the time wheel will change according to local conditions and time conditions, and it can be sleek and clever. Yoyo smiled.
"I see. I laughed.
"My poets, my brothers and sisters, everyone follow me into this whirlpool, and I will take you out of this ice cave!" With that, I jumped down from the whirlpool, and Suzaku, Youyou, Phoenix General, Li Bai, Yue Fei, Xin Qiji, and others jumped down one after another, and the elites and lions of the Divine Wing Hall also jumped down in line, and we all landed in the woods halfway up Bogda Peak, unharmed.
"Everyone's okay, right? In a different time and space, is there anyone who feels uncomfortable and uncomfortable?" I walked around among the lions, patting them on the shoulder and asking left and right.
"Li Bai, you name it, count the number of people, and see if everyone is there. We are a family, and no one is missing!"
"Obey, Your Royal Highness the Prince!" Li Bai began to name one by one, and replied to me after a while, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, except for Du Fu, Jiang Kui, and Li Qingzhao, the other poets are all here. ”
"What's the situation? What kind of plane are these three gods doing? I'll fly back and see. I jumped into the whirlpool and found Du Fu, Jiang Kui, and Li Qingzhao standing next to the whirlpool trembling with their legs, pushing each other, and muttering in a low voice:
"Is this reliable? Brother Jiang Kui, you jump first. Du Fu trembled his legs.
"Sister Qingzhao, I have rheumatoid arthritis, you jump down first to help see if the water is cold, and then tell my brother. Jiang Kui looked at Li Qingzhao and almost knelt down.
"I'm still young, and I still want to find a good husband and remarry again. Brother Du Fushi, you have given birth to so many children, don't you miss home? Brother Du Fu, please invite first. Li Qingzhao flicked his tail and begged.
"When is it? What are you three pestles doing there? Look at me, don't I come back alive and tell you to jump down! If you don't go down, they will eat up the whole roast sheep below!" I said and pushed down Du Fu and jumped down again.
"It's still important to roast the whole sheep, Cui Hao has jumped down, I also miss the taste of my mother! I'll go!" Jiang Kui flicked his tail, shouted, and rushed into the whirlpool.
"This ghost place, I don't want to die alone here! Sister fights, let's die!" Li Qingzhao opened his mouth and closed his eyes, and rushed down the whirlpool.
"Hehe, it's okay, you two are also on all fours!" I looked at Jiang Kui and Li Qingzhao hanging on the branches and wanted to laugh.
"We have finally seen the light of day again!" "Long live the country of poetry!" Enthusiastic cheers and shouts flew out of the snow and in the woods.
I smiled with relief as I watched the poets escape from the cage where they were imprisoned, and I thought about how to lift the curse on them, and how to lead them to fight back. I decided to take them to the country of wood to settle down first, and then think about it in the long run. So, I took the lions over the snow-capped mountains and deserts and returned to the country of wood.
After the drunken Taoist, Xiaoyaozi, Luyin, and the white-clothed scholar said goodbye to the local tyrant country and the right arm and the red tassel, they escorted Wang Badong all the way back to the extraordinary gate, and the head of the extraordinary gate, Chi Silie, received the news from the flying pigeon, and ordered the disciples to clean up several side rooms early, and took the disciples to greet the two Taoist masters at the door.
"The red-haired old ghost, how have you been in recent years?!" The drunk Taoist walked straight to Chi Silie as soon as he got out of the carriage, hugged him, patted him on the back and asked.
"Second brother, I'm all right! Are you okay? We haven't seen each other for many years since the Battle of Fanling? Second brother, I miss you! We won't get drunk tonight!" Chi Silie patted his chest and laughed loudly.
"Oh, the red-haired old ghost, let me introduce: this is my junior brother Xiaoyaozi, who travels all over the world and has footprints all over the world. Haha, you can find him if you like to inquire about strange things in any place!" The drunk Taoist took Chi Si Lie to Xiao Yaozi's side and introduced, "Senior brother, this is the very head of the sect Chi Si Lie that I mentioned to you in the past, once I and my second brother and Zhao Sifang were sworn brothers, and the three of them were the three heroes of Fanling who crisscrossed the rivers and lakes together and slay demons and demons!"
"Chi Zhangmen, I'm Xiaoyaozi, I'm glad to meet you! I've heard my senior brother mention you! When I saw you today, I really had an extraordinary instrument!" Xiaoyaozi hugged his fists and laughed.
"Hehe, yes, everybody, let's go inside and have tea, let's talk while we drink!" Akaji Lie walked in side by side with his drunk arms around his long shoulders.
"Little junior brother, you take this goods to the cell and lock it up. Lu Yin pointed to the coffin and smiled.
"Okay, senior sister. The white-clothed scholar said, pulling the carriage and dragging the coffin around the backyard, putting Wang Badong in a cell, and then going back to the living room, seeing Chi Si Lie and Zheng Huan, who was drunk and chatting, he stood behind Chi Si Lie with Lu Yin.
"Hey, Xiao Mo, why didn't you see Hongying come back with you this time?" asked Chi Silie suddenly turning his head.
"Back to the master, after the battle of Wudang Mountain, the senior sister followed the right-arm brother to the Taoist cave to find the mysterious book of the Shixian Sword. The white-clothed scholar replied.
"Oh, I see. Well, Wuji went back to visit his parents' graves a few days ago, otherwise we would have been reunited as a family this time. Akaji sighed.
"Third brother, is this Wuji the son of Brother Zhao Sifang Zhao - Zhao Wuji?" The drunk Taoist suddenly became nervous and slapped the table.
"yes, it's this kid. I think that if Brother Zhao hadn't blocked Lianchengjue's sword for us back then, we would have died. Chi Si Lie looked down and sighed.
"Third brother, since he is the eldest brother's child, then he is also my child! When I see him, I will teach him my life's martial arts!
"Hehe, second brother, don't worry! It's not too late for Wuji to come back, let's catch up on the old days these days!" Chi Silie said with a smile.
"Dao Chief, I have seen the Wudang swordsmanship of you and your right arm, it is very powerful, I admire it very much! I also want to learn, can you teach me too?" Lu Yin smiled.
"Dao Chief, and me, I also want to learn. The white-clothed scholar also came over.
"Okay, okay!haha! You are all the beloved disciples of the third brother, I will teach them all! I will teach them all!" the drunk Taoist said with a smile.
"Thank you, Dao Chief!" said Lu Yin and the white-clothed scholar with their fists in thanks.
On Qingfeng Villa, on the willow tops on the moon, Ding Lu walked out of the bath in Qingfeng Dao Chief's room naked, sat on the Qingfeng Dao Chief's body lying on the bed, and while massaging and serving Qingfeng Dao Chief, he whispered softly in his ear: "Feng Ye, you want to save the dead ghost in my family this time." Otherwise, how will you call us orphans and widows?"
"Okay, my little dear baby, I'll send someone to save Ah Dong tomorrow, and this time I will definitely bring him back without knowing it. Now is the time to employ people, and I also need a crack soldier like Ah Dong!" said Qingfeng Dao Chang with a smile as he hugged Ding Lu in his arms.
"Brother Feng, you just send someone over, okay?" Ding Lu turned his head to look at Qingfeng Dao Chief.
"Xiao Tiantian, you see if I can do it!" said Qingfeng Dao Chang, raising Ding Lu again and making a shot.
In the morning, after eating breakfast, Qingfeng Dao Chang ordered someone to find Zhao Wouji, and while drinking tea in the living room, he said with a smile: "Wuji, the firefly Yaksha has come to report that my two junior brothers have escorted Wang Badong to the very gate." Wang Badong is now being detained in the extraordinary gate, if you go back to the extraordinary gate again, they don't know that you have taken refuge in my door anyway. You go back and improvise and try your best to rescue Wang Badong!
"Don't worry, godfather! I will definitely catch them off guard this time and rescue Wang Badong. Zao Wou-Ki smiled with his hands on his hands.
"Hehe, okay! I'm optimistic about you!Don't let me down!" Qingfeng Dao Chang stood up and patted Zao Wou-Ki on the shoulder and smiled, "Then go and get ready, get ready, and set off immediately!"
"Godfather, just wait for good news! I'll go down. Zao Wou-Ki clenched his fists and retreated.
As soon as Zao Wou-Ki returned to the extraordinary gate, he brought two large jars of daughter red and some preserved fruits and dry goods gift boxes to Chi Silie.
"Wuji, you're back from home. Haha, what do you think you have lost a lot of weight when you go back this time?" Chi Silie looked at Zao Wou-Ki with a smile, feeling a little relieved in his heart.
"Master, are you in good health lately? I went back this time to rebuild a big tomb for my parents, so it was a bit hard and delayed for a few days. Zao Wou-Ki asked with concern as he sat down to drink tea with his master.
"Well, everything is fine at home. It's good for you to come back. "What about her?" may be that she and Xiao Mo are practicing martial arts at the two Taoist masters, and I will ask Lu Yin to fry a few more dishes when I go back, and you can also meet your second uncle tonight, and our family will have a good drink!"
"Okay, Master, I miss my junior sister and junior brother a lot. Dao Chief?Do they all learn martial arts with him?Second Uncle?" A trace of doubt and an evil smile appeared in the corner of Zhao Wouji's eyes, thinking that this time he had designed and finished these two bull-nosed old ways.
