Chapter 0764: The Legend of the Goddess
The lights on the Tianshu Pavilion were brilliant, the banquet was just over halfway, everyone was already slightly drunk, and the guests on the lower floors came one after another, and they jointly toasted to the son of the Wei family, hoping to be familiar, but Wei Zhengyang was surrounded by a group of real nobles all the time, although they toasted, but they couldn't say a few words, but fortunately, Wei Zhengyang did not come alone, he also brought his six principals, three were also on the top floor, and the remaining three were on the lower floors, since they could not make friends with the main master, it was not bad to have a good relationship with these principals, after all, it was impossible for Wei Zhengyang to stay in Nanjiang City for a long time, and he would really do business with them here in the future, or these seemingly inconspicuous, but in fact powerful things.
The top floor of the Tianshu Pavilion is very wide, the four round tables are close to the railing, on the east side, and the west side is set up a platform, the singers and dancers in Nanjiang City are taking turns to fight, trying their best to show off their skills, and the top brands invited by the king of Nanjiang are also sitting next to the guests, singing and dancing, and the cups and cups are also non-stop.
But Wei Zhengyang rejected all the top cards called by the king of Nanjiang, the king of Nanjiang only regarded him as a young man with thin skin, and he didn't care, plus he drank a lot of wine, his face was already red, he hugged a popular singer girl with one hand, and carried a wine jug in the other, leaned on the railing drunkenly, and said to Wei Zhengyang with a smile, "Zhengyang, I heard from the imperial brother, you came here this time not only to establish your Wei family's shop in Nanjiang City, but also to shoulder another important responsibility? What is the matter? Can you tell Brother Wei?" If I can help, I will definitely help from all over Nanjiang City!"
The audience at the table all pricked up their ears and stared at Wei Zhengyang tightly while echoing.
Wei Zhengyang squinted his eyes, "I have long heard that the prince is His Majesty's favorite brother, but when I looked at it today, sure enough, I even told the prince such a secret." ”
King Nanjiang laughed, "Zhengyang is not strange, the imperial brother also mentioned it in the letter, saying that Zhengyang may have other things on his shoulders, but he did not elaborate, but he asked me to take care of Zhengyang, and I must obey any orders, won't my curiosity come up? But if this matter is important, it is better for Zhengyang not to say it, so as not to miss the right thing." ”
Wei Zhengyang shook his head, "The prince is so loving, Zhengyang is too late to be grateful, where can it be blamed? In fact, since I have arrived here, there is no need to hide this secret, don't hide it from the prince, Zhengyang came this time, and the establishment of a branch shop is still a trivial matter, and there are indeed other reasons." ”
King Nanjiang sighed lightly and straightened up, "What's the matter?"
Wei Zhengyang turned his head and looked at the rushing river outside the railing, "Does the prince know the origin of this river?"
"Nanjiang?" King Nanjiang obviously didn't expect Wei Zhengyang to mention this river, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Zhengyang isn't he ridiculing his brother? The Nanjiang River originates from Mulang Mountain, across the Nanling Mountains, winding and meandering, with more than 300 tributaries, it can be said that most of the Nanling Mountains are fed by this river, the name of this place is Nanling, this river is naturally also called Nanjiang, five or six thousand years in the morning, my ancestors of Dayue are just a small city lord who does not enter the stream, the dynasty at that time originated from the bank of the Nanjiang River, and also took the Nanjiang River as the name, in the final analysis, this Nanjiang River is every Nanling person can not bypass, called the holy God, called the mother called the father, it is not an exaggeration. ”
Wei Zhengyang nodded, "What about the legend of Nanjiang?
"Legends? That's a lot," King Nanjiang suddenly turned his head and pinched the face of the singer next to him with a smile, "Come, tell me Brother Zhengyang, what legends do we have in Nanjiang?"
The singer was not nervous at all, first smiled softly, slightly disgusted to knock off the hand of the king of Nanjiang, and then supported her chin with one hand, and looked at the river with her eyes confused, "Speaking of the legend of Nanjiang, the first naturally belongs to this Nanjiang goddess, right? According to legend, she is the river spirit of Nanjiang, is the birth of heaven and earth, and looks amazing, far more than the little woman, she benefits the people of Nanjiang, expels the demons of Nanling, has thousands of achievements, and is deeply loved by the people of Nanling, isn't there a statue of a goddess in our Nanjiang city?" And her most famous story, is the goddess sword to kill the evil dragon, according to legend in ancient times there was a black dragon, in the Nanjiang River to do evil, eat alive, raise waves to destroy the city, provoke the people to boil, some people are miserable, then run to the goddess to pray, pray for the goddess to go down to earth, kill the evil dragon, less than two days, there is a glow from the Nanjiang River, a woman dressed in colorful clothes stepped on the auspicious clouds, holding a sword, and the black dragon along the Nanjiang River for three days and three nights, and finally the black dragon head, the bones sank in the Nanjiang River, the dragon head is said to have turned into the dragon head mountain three hundred miles away, after the death of the black dragon, the goddess quietly left, the sun is bright and the wind is light, the people live and work in peace and contentment"The singer flicked her glass lightly and made a soft jingling sound, "This story is very widespread, the maid's hometown is in a small village far east of Nanjiang City, and the old people of the village will prepare tributes for the goddess every year, even in the years of famine, and they are very pious. ”
King Nanjiang patted the singer's hand and laughed, "Brother Zhengyang, how is the story of our pearl?"
"Very good," Wei Zhengyang said meaningfully with a toast, "but sometimes, a story doesn't have to be just a story. ”
As soon as these words came out, the wine table suddenly fell silent, the hand of the king of Nanjiang froze on the wine jug, the singer named Zhu'er covered her mouth, her eyes were full of surprise, and the rest of the people also looked at each other.
King Nanjiang licked the corners of his mouth, "Brother Zhengyang....... Although I don't know when this story originated, but it's 700,000 years old.
"Whether she is a half-emperor or not, I don't know," Wei Zhengyang turned his head to stare at Nanjiang, "I don't dare to say whether this goddess exists or not, but in this Nanjiang, there is indeed a real dragon, of course, I don't know if it is an evil dragon or not." ”
"You, you mean there is a real dragon bone in Nanjiang?" The Grand Commander Zhao Yong stood up with a bang, knocked over the wine glass in front of him, his face was so excited that he even forgot to use the honorific title to Wei Zhengyang, Zhao Yong was one of the few monks in the field, and naturally he was extremely yearning for the legendary true dragon.
Wei Zhengyang didn't care about his rudeness, and nodded slightly, "This matter was handed over to my Wei family by Tianji Pavilion, and this time I went south to take away this real keel," he pointed to the black-clothed monk outside the building, "These are the monks raised by my Wei family, and some people outside like to call them the Wei family, but in fact, the level of these monks is uneven, and they are not as good as the real famous sects, but this time, in order to be foolproof, Tianji Pavilion will lend me their offerings." ”
Wei Zhengyang smiled slightly, and spun the wine glass in his hand, "So in the dark, there are several real overhauls staring here." ”
