Chapter 1: Pisces Awakens

Next Chapter

My name is Kyushu layman,

A talented and intelligent little poet.

Relatives, friends, and neighbors all call me Ah Jiu.

In our beautiful poetic country, colorful butterflies dance on the boundless toon trees under the mountain, the fragrance of rape flowers overflows, the fish roam freely in the babbling streams, and the begonia flowers bloom one by one and one on the side of the mountain, like the clouds of the Western Elysium. In the poetry country, you can see the ancient academy everywhere, the quiet mountain gate, often float out bursts of pleasant recitation of poetry, intoxicating, the air is filled with a strong classical atmosphere, making people fall in love and linger. My magic is that everywhere I go, flowers and plants bloom, insects and birds sing, and wild animals are peaceful, and this strange ability makes my neighbors envious and call me strange.

Grandpa said that my unique talent not only makes flowers, trees, insects, fish, birds and beasts respect me, but also makes jackals, tigers and leopards, unicorns and phoenixes bow down to me.

But to be honest, I have never seen a unicorn to this day, let alone a phoenix, and I can only imagine this bird immortalizing in the fire to the starry sky.

Why did my grandfather say I had such qualities?

The people of the poetry country, as we all know, I was born with a Pisces jade pendant around my neck, this rare treasure made me a legend. It's also strange to say, no matter where I run, as long as there is water, my reflection is two fish, connected end to end, connected into a circle, like a Tai Chi yin and yang diagram.

They all said that because of this jade pendant, I had all the wisdom of the magical Pisces. Pick up a pen and write a collection of short songs and poems with a very high degree of difficulty. Such as:

tanka line

High mountains and flat lakes, singing the wind and the moon,

Peacock southeast, Lujiang painting boat.

Hundred flowers are fragrant, bees dance and butterflies sing,

The mountains are clear and the forests are clear, and the fog is melon-friendly.

The snow is fluorescent, and the wax pregnancy is cool,

The Ox King Fence is in full bloom.

Luzhou is at the top, and the scenery is beautiful,

The ancient charm of the emblem style, the heroic long-term visit.

The top of the water, the nest of the Anhui,

Huangmei Gujing, Mo Dao Du Kang.

Cotton and Linen Silk Mill, East China Treasure Mine,

Clear Sanskrit sound, the universe sings.

Disciple Gui Township, rape flowers,

Tiger Cave tea fragrance, Changchun a fragrance.

Jianghuai unicorn, march drums and drums,

Forward-looking, peaks stand in all directions.

This is to write about my hometown - the scenery of the country of poetry, because of the fame, I naturally attracted the attention of the king of the country, the king is a emperor who likes to be elegant, fashionable and stylish, he treats me with special courtesy, every time the guests treat me, singing and dancing, wine and food, and want to give me his little princess "poetry" to me. The king often invites guests to enjoy the flowers and the moon in the imperial garden, and compose poems and lyrics; don't look at me now, I am not high, hum, I am a member of the royal court, every time the king wants to improvise a poem, I immediately write the poem on the note, and secretly hand the note to him, he is in front of everyone with infinite scenery and radiance. The perfect tacit understanding, the perfect combination, made me and the king at a young age become friends for the year. When the king was satisfied, and happy, he would reward my house with a great deal of fine wine and delicacies, gold and silver, and so that my neighbors would be envious. "Your Ah Jiu is a talented man, he will definitely carp and leap into the dragon gate one day, and glorify his ancestors!" "Ah Jiu is really a Wenqu star, you are always blessed!" ...... There were many people who slipped in front of my grandfather.

In the eyes of my neighbors, relatives, friends, and emperors and generals, I will soon be 18 years old. It grew to 170 in size, but the two fish I saw in the reflection were still so big that they hadn't changed.

One day, I went to ask my grandfather, "Grandpa, why don't my shadows grow long?" Do these two fish fall asleep?" Grandpa stroked his beard and touched my head and said, "The auspicious time has not yet come, and the heavens must not be revealed", and then went to bask in the sun and snoring under the toon tree again. I can only stupidly run to the palace to find poetry, the prince's "poems", the little prince's "hidden arts", "hidden law" to learn the classics of Chinese culture, the prince's poems are foreshadowed, the entrance is infinite, the poems of the hidden arts are subtle and deep, not alarming, the style of the hidden poetry is fresh, simple and natural; and the teacher's favorite is my poems, short and concise, high-pitched and vigorous.

I remember that once the teacher came back from a tour of Xinjiang and asked me to write a poem, and I wrote another poem "Short Song Xing • Xinjiang".

Tanka Xing • Xinjiang

The capital of Asia, Dihua Western Regions,

Nine Domains Poetry Brigade, Cheng Lian Qingyu.

Bogda Peak, snow-white and fragrant,

Aromatic snow lotus, Tianshan elixir.

Lingshan Yaochi, Holy Realm Pearl,

Yufeng condenses the lake, and the immortals stop.

Yaxin Changji, Muslim Workshop,

The mosque is quiet, and the Quran is singing.

Under the colorful city, the rainbow world,

Volcanic lava, the heart of the Red Flag.

On the banks of the Ili River, south of the Saiwai River,

The grass is fat and the people are beautiful, and the Shenzhou is bright.

The Western Regions are protected, and the homeland is newly returned,

The Han frontier has no borders.

Peach Festival, Heaven punishes water monsters,

Dinghai Shen Needle, Shenwei Sanjiang.

The teacher was excited, clapped his hands, and couldn't help asking, "Ah Jiu, which god taught you this tanka technique?" Seeing this question, I looked at the teacher with a confused face, this is indeed self-taught, no teacher. Maybe I will have this kind of ancient poetry in my bones. My tanka skills were once known in the National Academy, which is why the king chose me to accompany the prince.

In the following month, the continuous torrential rain made the villagers of Shiguo have no choice but to be stuck at home. I was bored learning Chinese studies every day, one day, Prince Shiwen came up with an idea, "Ah Jiu, let's go rowing in the forest park together!" I called my sister poetry, "Okay, I'm about to get moldy at home every day", and then shouted poetry and put down the paintbrush in his hand, and took a carriage to the royal forest park in the western suburbs, after the rain, the park stream is surging, the water level rises, the river widens, the guard sees that the prince and the princess have arrived, and immediately stepped forward to say hello, check the boat, and ask" Your Highness, the rain has been heavy these days, and the river situation is complicated, do you need to send your subordinates to accompany you to protect it?"

"No, don't I have two fish here?" he smiled at me, and ordered the guards to let them go, and they lowered the gates and ropes.

The three of us sat in a small boat, down the river, the flowers on both sides of the bank after the rain were more vivid, and the frogs were more lively, "Look, look, there are deer running over!" In the pursuit of several elks, we unconsciously reached the downstream, feeling that the speed of the boat was getting faster and faster, I did not feel good, maybe the downstream was about to be a dangerous shoal or a waterfall, this situation has been seen in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Geographical Chronicles, I hurriedly threw down the anchor, and said to the poems, "Prince, princess, now the water is turbulent, there may be a waterfall ahead, it is too dangerous, I threw this rope into the big tree, you hurry up and climb over the rope to the shore." As soon as he finished speaking, a rope tied up a large tree on the shore, and the boat was pulled.

"Kyushu, what should you do then?" Poetry was a little anxious, Shiwen lit and released the signal flare in his hand, looked at the faster and faster water, looked at me and said, "Dude, I know you are good at water, you must take care!" The rope snapped off with a thud under the massive current, and I followed the boat to the waterfall in the turbulent current.

The moment the boat flew out of the stream, my blood boiled to the extreme, my body lost gravity and was falling rapidly, and the drop of this waterfall shocked me. Suddenly a huge red canopy flashed in front of my eyes, no, it was an open back of a fish, two golden fins swept through the water curtain like two lightning bolts, and the next second I fell heavily on the back of the fish, and the big fish flew out of the valley of the waterfall, straight up to the clouds, and flew in the clouds. I touched the wet back of the fish, frightened, "Who are you?!Are you a demon?!Where are you taking me?!Hurry up and let me go!"The big fish took me through the cloudy sky, through the lightning and thunderous rain curtain, flew over the forest park of the poetry country, stayed under my toon tree, squirmed two super long whiskers, and said slowly, "Master, my name is Youyou, I am your talent guardian saint, you are the embodiment of Pisces, I will protect you until you lead all our koi to recapture the lion country and revive the poetry country of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Reviving the country of poetry? Isn't this the country of poetry?"" I touched my head and looked blinded.

"Master, you are the true master of the poetry country. Eight thousand years ago, the witch immortal Liancheng tried to dominate the world, and used witchcraft curses to turn the great poets of our poetry country into docile lions. Your parents, the lord of the poetry country, the old poet immortal, sealed the witch immortal with their own blood, and incarnated into a sun and moon divine sword to suppress the witch immortal on the top of Zhuxian Mountain. ”

"What witch fairy, what seal?" I was completely confused.

"Master, don't you believe me? Why am I here? Have you ever seen a big fish that can say it can fly and hump you and lie?" You flew around in front of me, and said, "This is your life, you don't have a choice." The old master said that it is up to you to revitalize the poetry country, and today only you have this talent to go to heaven and earth to pull out the Sun and Moon Divine Sword and completely destroy the witch immortals. ”

"Destroy the witch fairy?Wasn't she suppressed by my parents?How else to destroy it?" I suddenly felt a positive energy in my heart, and I didn't know where it came from.

Youyou shuttled between the toon trees, and said slowly, "Wu Xian was indeed suppressed by your parents, but his blood is still there, she has captured more than half of the cities in Xinjiang through her disciples wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, when they have collected the five poetry and immortal sword mysteries, and practiced the poetry and sword in one, they can also pull out the sun and moon sword and release their master, Wu Xian." After speaking, he sighed, "And Wu Xian has also established a special force in Lop Nur to train a group of dried corpses in the desert, if the dragon vein of our poetry country is intercepted by Wu Xian, the northwest is basically about to fall." ”

"Brother Yu, I really want to save the world, but I'm just a poet, I don't know magic or witchcraft, what do you want me to do?" I threw a small pebble into the distance, a little overwhelmed.

"Master, you are a poet immortal who has not been met for a thousand years, your blood is full of poetry, you can see your reflection and know that you are talented, plus your talent, you will definitely be able to practice poetry and sword. Believe in yourself!" Yoyo said confidently as he turned into a small fish, jumped from the tree to my shoulder, and flicked the back of my head with his tail.

"Brother Yu, you have boundless mana and are very confident, hurry up and teach me, let me have a bottom in my heart. "Looking at the divine beast in front of me, I seemed to be relieved for a while, without any pressure, and the small flame of inner struggle burned brightly.

"Of course, I am your patron saint, rest assured, I will be there in your most dangerous moments. You spit out a few rounds of bubbles, raised the two fish whiskers at the corners of your mouth, leisurely.

"Then you can teach me something? I want to fly like you, I want to transform. I can't wait to say that.

"Okay, then you come to this toon tree every night at midnight, and I will teach you the Dafa of Psychics. You learn it earlier, so that we can go and save the lion country, those poets have been poisoned by the witch fairy and turned into lions and blue birds. ”

"Okay, Brother Yu! Then I'll go back first. "As soon as I finished speaking, Yoyo was gone.

For several days, I wore a windbreaker, braved the mountain wind, and went to the toon tree at night under the moonlight, owls and bats whistling over my head, and where the light of fireflies overflowed, I learned from Youyou the art of resisting water, stealth, taking off, and earth escape, as a reward, you carried me across the Tiger Cave River, flew over Niuwang Village, and flew over the Milky Way and Star Bay.

During the break, Yoyo told me, "Master, you have learned the art of resisting water, and all kinds of water, air, fog, and ice in the world are under your control. Try to practice the graceful mantra - cold, miserable and miserable". I recited silently twice, the grass and trees did not move, "Master, concentrate on it, and my heart is ready to understand", I took two deep breaths to re-lift my breath and exert my strength, and sure enough, a cold air hit, although it was far from reaching the level of a cold current, but I was also frightened. Secretly rejoicing, these divine beast professors' Qimen Dunjia skills are really powerful, and I think that in the future, I can eliminate violence and maintain justice.

"Master, you still need to practice diligently before you can slay demons and eliminate demons. Come on!" I made an OK gesture and walked away, leaving a "I won't let you down!" in the air.

When I went to the poetry and poetry, they were very happy and puzzled to see that I had returned safely. At that time, after Shiwen sent out a signal flare, the guards of Shiwen had already gone to look for me, but unfortunately they didn't find me. I jokingly said that I had become a big fish and swam home, and they would be skeptical.

The poem said that the king wanted to play chess with me, and asked me to go to the imperial garden, and after some greetings, I was about to fight with the king in a chess game, when an urgent report came from outside the palace: there was a zombie massacre in Lop Nur in Xinjiang, and the king of Lop Nur came to ask for reinforcements to solve the danger of extinction of the country. Because the king of Lop Nur and the lord of the country of poetry have always been friendly, the king of the country of poetry decided to send an ace royal army to the rescue of Lop Nur in Xinjiang.

Loo Nur Country, Zombie Massacre? I listened more and more curious, and longed for what I should do. I ran home and told my grandfather about the past few days, and my grandfather stopped napping, he looked at me with bright eyes and said, "Child, it's time to come, and the future of the poetry country depends on you." ”

After Grandpa finished speaking, he closed his eyes and took a nap again, I knew that I had to go to Lop Nur country, and maybe I could solve the mystery of my Pisces jade pendant. So I ran to the toon tree and went to discuss with Youyou about going to Lop Nur in Xinjiang together.
