The darkness receded like a tidal wave, and light and scenery appeared all around. But it is hazy and hazy to see clearly, as if in a foggy morning, and as if you are in the mountains and forests after the rain, surrounded by water vapor and mist.

Two people in green clothes and small hats drove an oil-walled carriage out of the fog, came to Man Jianghong, and said, "The prince is so difficult to invite, the princess specially ordered the slave and maid to come to greet him." ”

Man Jianghong saw that the two of them had clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and delicate voices, and they turned out to be two seventeen or eighteen-year-old women.

When he got into the car in a daze, the woman in Tsing Yi shook the reins, and the carriage flew away.

I only felt the sound of the wind whistling in my ears, and I passed through an archway and a moon gate in a haze, only to see the water and light in the sky, the blue waves, and the reflection of the distant mountains like eyebrows.

The bluestone pavement is extremely smooth, but there is no human figure in sight. The pavement seems to have just been cleaned and swept away, and the cracks in the stones are mottled with moss. Wildflowers bloom and vegetation flourishes along the roadside.

The carriage "kicked and clicked" around the lake for half a circle, and after turning a corner and stopped, it came to a large garden.

Man Jianghong got out of the car, only to see a hundred flowers blooming, only smelling the fragrant fragrance, and he seemed to be a little drunk.

On the side of the small bridge in Qushui, in a small pavilion half-covered by vines and shrubs, two women got up and greeted them.

The two of them have picturesque eyebrows, black hair like clouds, fair skin, and graceful posture. Looking at the appearance, the woman in red is about twenty years old, and the woman in green is still childish, with hairpins and hairpins, and she is fifteen years old.

A beautiful woman dressed in green and light silk walked briskly in front of Man Jianghong, put her hands on her waist, raised her pointed chin, and said coquettishly: "Childe is so difficult to invite, if you don't come, I'll go and tie you up!"

The graceful woman in a red dress walked over slowly, her steps swayed, her emerald trembling trembling, and she gave a deep blessing to Man Jianghong, and said: "Living in a deep valley, cold and lonely. Childe is here today, and the walls of the illusory realm are shining. Qionghua, green calyx, welcome the son. ”

"Where am I?"

Man Jianghong seemed to have suddenly broken into the Wuling people of the Peach Blossom Spring, and he was very dazed.

"This is too illusory, if you take it seriously, it will be true, and if you think it is fake, it will be fake. Why are you asking so much? Come with me. You haven't eaten all night, your stomach must be hungry, go get something to eat first. ”

The green calyx couldn't help but say, took his hand and left.

Qionghua looked at the girl dotingly, shook her head helplessly, and followed with the two maidservants.

And the people entered the main hall, and sat down as the hosts. The servants were lined up on both sides, all of them were young women, and not a single man was to be seen.

Strange vegetables and fruits, mountain delicacies and fine wines were placed up like flowing water, embroidered mattresses were laid on the tiles, and the utensils in front of him were made of crystal, amber and agate.

The golden stone silk bamboo in the ear, the Luo Qi Zhucui in front of him, the red wine in the Manjiang River is not drunk, everyone is drunk, and asked:

"Before, it was chirping, like a hundred birds chirping in unison, and then it was tactful and clear, as if it was dominating the world, what kind of song is it?"

The green calyx smiled and said, "This is Feng Laiyi, who specially greeted you." ”

"Oops, I can't afford to be a phoenix!"

"It's hard for a son to get this, it's an auspicious omen, and this has a phoenix, which is just right for this scene. If there is no sound in the world, like the mountains and flowing waters, will it not be in vain? ”

After Qionghua finished speaking, she clapped her hands.

The music changes, leisurely and elegant, like the dew drops of spring dawn and the lotus blooming on a summer night.

After a while, it changed again, and the beat suddenly rose, as if the fairy robe was fluttering, and the phoenix pond was spinning.

"What's this tune?"

"This is a song of neon clothes and feathers. ”

"Oh, I see. According to legend, Emperor Tang Ming sleepwalked in the Moon Palace, saw the fairy singing and dancing, and woke up to compose this song. ”

Qionghua grinned lightly, bright and bright, and said:

"Most of the rumors in the world are false. Emperor Tang Ming was a mortal, but he had never traveled to the Moon Palace. This piece was originally Xiliang's "Brahman Song", but Emperor Tang Ming just edited and adapted it. There are 12 times in total, the first six times are scattered, no beat, no dance, and the last six times are danced with beats. ”

Qionghua's voice fell, but the green calyx flattened her mouth and grabbed Bai Dao:

"The song is good, but the story is bad. On Ma Wei Slope, a generation of Son of Heaven couldn't protect a woman, so he was embarrassed to say something cheeky and said, 'I am willing to be a winged bird in heaven, and I am willing to be a branch in the earth'. can't make promises, and you have to pretend to be affectionate and heartbroken. Isn't that true of every man?"

These words are too ruthless, and they will beat all the men in the world with a stick. Man Jianghong was a little restless, and said in a hurry:

At that time, he fled to Maweipo, and the Sixth Army did not send it, so he was willing to leave only if he had to kill Yang Guifei. ”

"You're a man, of course you're talking to a man. What has been said doesn't count, what is there to be nostalgic for such a hypocritical man? If it were me, I would be killed with a sword!"

"I'm not talking to Emperor Tang Ming, I'm just analyzing the environment at the time, not to mention that I don't like him either. The love between men and women, there are those who live and die together with the sea and rocks, those who have been resentful for a long time, and those who fly separately when the catastrophe comes, depending on what kind of test they endure. Poverty, wealth, loneliness, sickness, and boredom are the norm of life's tests, and the greatest test is life and death. Every relationship has a reason for existence, and it may not reach the supreme state of life and death, but it is not necessarily false. ”

"That's such a nice thing to say, what about you, what do you think?"

"It's a seven-foot boy who can sacrifice himself and be a ghost male for thousands of years and never return to his hometown. I think, if you can't even protect the woman you love, what's the use of being a man in vain and leaving your life?"

"A fool will believe you!"

The green calyx wrinkled her small nose and grimaced.

Seeing that the words of the two of them were becoming more and more intense, Qionghua hurriedly reprimanded her sister: "Don't be rude!"

But the scene was cold, and the guest and host were speechless for a while.

Man Jianghong picked up the cup awkwardly, and suddenly felt a strange fragrance. I saw that in the white jade cup, the wine changed color, one moment it was gorgeous, like the carmine on the lips of a beauty, and the other time it was tranquil, like the blush of a girl's emotion.

He tasted it shallowly, the entrance was slightly sour, and the fine taste was refreshing and sweet, and there was a spicy flavor swirling back and forth. I couldn't help but drink it all and praised: "Wonderful, this wine smells, swallows, and tastes different." ”

"Hmph! My sister has brewed peach blossom dew for a thousand years, and she was drunk by a cow like you. The green calyx said hatefully.

Qiong Hua was afraid that her sister would say something inappropriate, so she hurriedly interrupted and said, "Childe, this peach blossom dew has the effect of washing the marrow of the I Ching, so it is advisable to drink it slowly and carefully to understand the taste." After a while, he sighed softly and said, "After being sensible, before being emotional." Look at Shaoguang's cheapness, and the peach blossoms are red all over. In fact, no matter how you drink it, this wine is always drunk. has been empty for a thousand years, and it is not in vain that he has failed Hao Shaoguang. ”

Wine is like a beautiful woman, how can it be abrupt.

Man Jianghong did as he was told, only to feel that the wine was too strong, as if a small sword traveled through the meridians of the whole body, cutting mountains and valleys, cutting off wild grass and trees; and it seemed that there was a cool little hand caressing the organs, pressing the evil fire, reviving the scorched earth; and the skeletal muscles of the whole body were more like being beaten by countless small hammers, giving birth to infinite strength, faintly having the meaning of refining into steel.

After drinking three cups in a row, the red wine of the Manjiang River surged upward, and he supported his forehead with his hands, and he seemed to be drunk.

When the banquet dispersed, Green Calyx personally helped him to the guest room, and the two maidservants carried lanterns one after the other.

Man Jianghong staggered, stopped suddenly, looked at the moon in the sky like water, and the stars were far away, and said: "How do I always feel that one day in the future I will recall today, and I am sad." ”

The green calyx struggled to stabilize his arm, and the starry eyes were confused, and he chirped, "You don't speak in a tone at all, and you are not ashamed. Others are reminiscing about yesterday today, but you say that you will recall today in the future, thinking that you are very drunk. ”

Man Jianghong pushed her away, took a step back, squinted his fingers, and said, "You, you are so good-looking!"

After finishing speaking, he poured the gold mountain and the jade pillar and fell to the ground with a bang.

On the second day, there was another banquet, and after several rounds of wine, Qionghua suddenly had a sad face.

Man Jianghong saw it in her eyes and hurriedly asked, "The princess's face is sad, isn't there something embarrassing?"

Qionghua replied: "We have lived in this illusory realm for a long time, isolated from the world. Recently, a demon dragon has broken in, destroyed the city, devoured the people, and my sister and I could not win the fierce battle. The demon dragon is here, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay with my son for a long time. ”

Man Jianghong's eyes were about to crack when he heard this, and a heroic spirit rose from his chest, and said: "As long as I can relieve the princess's worries, I will not give up!"

Qionghua turned her sorrow into joy, got up and beckoned: "Son, please come with me!"

Qionghua and Lu Calyx led Man Jianghong into a wide side hall, where there were various weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons around the hall, but the center was a cloud of white clouds, and the murderous aura of the vast sea was coming out of the clouds.

Man Jianghong picked up a knife casually and shook it, and it broke in an instant, and it turned out to be papier-mâché. Grabbing another spear, it felt light and fluttering, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a reed.

He looked around to the right and left, and without a blade in his hand, he strode towards the center of the steaming clouds.

The green calyx stood far away, his eyes widened, and he said in astonishment: "Sister, why is he not afraid of that murderous aura?"

Qiong Hua smiled and said: "It seems that he was led into the realm of too illusory, and this move is right." Although his divine sense is not as strong as ours, it has already stood at the peak of the world, and there is a wisp of divine aura in it, which I dare not even look into. I'm afraid that he can really pull the heaven-shaking bow and subdue the demon dragon. ”

The green calyx puffed out his cheeks and said in frustration: "There has never been a person in this cave for thousands of years, where can there be any other chess." The demon dragon hit it a few more times, but I am afraid that it will collapse the cave wall, and we will have nowhere to escape. However, the Sky Shaking Bow won't even let the two of us get close, will it hurt him?"

Qiong Hua shook his head and said, "No, I feel that the Sky Shaking Bow is constricting its breath." This situation is a bit like a lonely male lion seeing a little lion cub approaching, a little liked, but a little impatient, not necessarily listening to it, but definitely not hurting it. ”

Man Jianghong entered the depths of the white clouds, only to see a big black bow hanging in the air.

"There's a bow here, but there's no arrow. He shouted.

"This is the Heaven-Shaking Bow, an ancient artifact, the most capable of punishing demons and subduing demons, but unfortunately my sister and I can't pull it open. The one that was originally equipped with the Zhuxian Arrow has been lost. My sister and I have polished an arrow in the past two years, and we put it at the door, and we can use it when my son can use it. When the demon dragon comes, he will see a dark cloud in the sky fighting with the red cloud and the green cloud. The dark clouds are transformed by the demon dragon, and the red clouds and green clouds are me and my sister. As long as Childe shoots the black cloud with his bow, he is done. ”

Before Qionghua's words fell, a maidservant girl ran in in a panic and reported: "Princess, the demon dragon is here again!"

Qionghua pulled the hand of the green calyx, and the two flew away.

In the clouds, the bow hung quietly, simple, old, and lonely.

The swarthy bow seems to be carved with incomparably intricate lines, and it seems to be in endless flux. The bowstring is cyan, like a stream of autumn water, reflecting the light of the sky and illuminating people's hearts.

Man Jianghong felt that the killing intent had been reduced to almost nothing, but an extremely majestic aura radiated from the bow, like seeing a towering mountain, like a surging river.

He reached for his bow, and in an instant a strong surge surged the man several feet away.

He approached again, slowly reaching out, feeling the power of the void retract helplessly.

When he was close at hand, he grasped the bow like lightning, but his head was in severe pain, and with a flower in front of him, he seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, immortals swaying, stars falling, and an overwhelming murderous aura coming to his face.

The pain was so painful that he seemed to be torn to pieces even his soul, but he regained his clarity in an instant, and he still stood in the clouds with a bow in his hand, and the feeling just now seemed to be all hallucinations.

He pulled, he pushed, he swayed, but the bow did not move, it was as heavy as a mountain.

He came up with the strength and simply hit it with his shoulder. The bow, as if it had been entangled by a child, finally began to move, a little reluctantly, but more and more light.

Man Jianghong walked out with a bow and saw a golden arrow leaning on the threshold. I picked it up and looked at it, I don't know what material it is made of, as long as it's not a reed.

The sky was overcast, with a drizzle of silky rain and fluttering.

When I walked to the open space in front of the main hall, I saw that above the big lake, the blue sky was cut open, the dark clouds rolled out, the wind was loud, and the hail, rain and snow were flying.

A red cloud and a green cloud swept upward, and the dark clouds swirled around the sky.

Man Jianghong buckled the string and took the arrow, but he couldn't shake the bowstring. No matter how hard I tried, I only felt that all my strength was about to be drained, and my spirit became exhausted in an instant, and my mind was dizzy.

The black bow and golden arrow suddenly flourished, and the string seemed to be pulled apart, and it seemed to tremble lightly automatically.

An arrow is like lightning, piercing the clouds.

A piece of blood flashed across the sky, illuminating the sky and the earth red. The dark clouds suddenly faded and thinned, mottled in color, twisted and struggling.

The wind is slowing down, and the rain and snow are a little lighter. In a short time, the green clouds were already overwhelming, chasing the dark clouds that fell apart.

After an arrow was fired, the Heaven-Shaking Bow shrank suddenly. Man Jianghong looked down, leaving only a shallow trace of a bow in his palm, like a light ink painting. After waiting for a while, even the traces disappeared, and the bow seemed to be integrated into the body. He turned his head, only to find Qionghua standing beside him, looking at the sky with a smile.

After another pillar of incense, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and the blue sky was like a wash.

The green calyx returned to the ground in a military uniform, holding a sword, and his heroic posture was cool.

"The demon dragon's soul is damaged, and his vitality is greatly damaged, but I am afraid that he will not be able to do evil again. After you open the bow, the loss of divine consciousness is huge, and you must immediately warm up and replenish it, take this pill quickly!" The green calyx took out a red bead and handed it to Man Jianghong's lips.

Qionghua saw that the green calyx took out the beads, her face was shocked, she was about to say something to stop her, and when she saw her sister's eyes burning, but they were as gentle as water, she had to sigh and swallow back the words that came to her lips.

Man Jianghong swallowed the pill, only to feel that his whole body was burning, and after a while, it was cold and uncontrollable. After repeating this cold and hot after repeating it a few times, the feeling gradually returned to normal. But there was a flash of inspiration in my mind, and I suddenly remembered many affairs and scenes, and I didn't really feel the characters in front of me, as if the world of the snowman under the scorching sun was rapidly dissolving and collapsing.

"This catastrophe is thanks to the rescue of the son. If he needs it, Qionghua and Green Calyx are at his disposal. Childe's fate is not over, and it's time to return. ”

A red cloud floated in, and Qionghua took Man Jianghong's hand and rose.

The green calyx stared blankly, suddenly stamped its foot, and hid its face.

The red cloud had risen to a great height, and there was nothing around it. Qionghua stretched out his fingers, and the clouds cracked.

Man Jianghong saw that in the ocean, at the bottom of the cliff, in a dark and deep cave, a beautiful and incoherent woman was sitting cross-legged under a pillar of light. And in front of her, there was another person sitting with his head down, and it was him!

"Go!" Qionghua nudged his back.

Man Jianghong screamed "oops" and fell from a great height.
