Chapter 6 Picking jade lotus in the depths of the blue waves
Red Scales pondered these questions hard, there were more and more mysteries in her heart, and she wanted to figure out more and more the truth and origin of what happened to Zimo.
She decided to sneak out of the palace quietly in the near future and go outside to find out some news, so as to help Zimo find the mystery of her life experience as soon as possible.
In order to make Zi Mo live comfortably in the Crystal Palace, Red Scale specially told the maids to rearrange a room for Zi Mo and asked them to serve their son carefully.
After settling Zimo, Red Scale thought that everything was fine, so he was about to go back to his room to rest for a while, but he didn't think about it, just half of his body was lying down, and he heard the maidservant come to report: "Red Scale Girl, the princess invites you to the main hall to meet you." ”
The exhausted red scales had to struggle to get up, get up, and hastily pack up to see Her Royal Highness the princess, but along the way, she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart.
What is worried is that for the first time, she took it upon herself to bring a man from the human race to the Crystal Palace without permission, if this matter is known to Her Royal Highness the Princess, she still doesn't know what Her Royal Highness will do with her?
Although, she has been fatherless and motherless since she was a child, and she was recognized as an adopted daughter by the princess, raised in the Crystal Palace, and was delicate in every way, but today's events are indeed a little scary.
However, what made her a little relieved was that in her impression, the princess had not disciplined her very harshly since she was a child, and most of the time, the princess turned a blind eye to what she did.
The princess came to settle down with peace of mind, and secondly, she came to be leisurely, but she was also happy.
Thinking like this, Red Scales was relieved a lot, and her steps became brisk, and in an instant, she was on the top of the palace, and saw her master standing on the side of the main hall, talking to the princess with a calm expression.
When the two of them saw Red Scales, they all called out to Red Scales in unison, "Red Scales, come here!"
Her Royal Highness the princess stepped down from the throne affectionately, grabbed the hand of the red scales, and looked at her with doting eyes, "Good daughter, where did you go yesterday and didn't return all night, which makes me and your master worried." When you go out again in the future, remember to bring your brother Tongguang with you, so that you can take care of each other. ”
"Mother, I'm fine, don't you see I'm fine, I'm just going out for a casual walk to breathe. Hearing that Her Royal Highness the Princess had never mentioned the Terran prince she had saved, Red Scale simply pretended that there was no such thing and prepared to pass the test in a fool's way.
Unexpectedly, Master Wuwu reminded her, "Red Scale, I have already told Her Royal Highness the Princess, saying that you rescued a fallen son of the Terran Race without permission, but fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess has a kind heart for you, and it is the first offense, so I will not hold you accountable this time." When Red Scale heard this, he stuck out his tongue in fright, fortunately, everything is fine, her Royal Highness the princess and the master are in a good mood today, and they did not pursue her fault.
"Good daughter, you're better to be more restrained recently, don't keep going to the water if it's okay. I heard from your master that the stranger once gave you a jade bracelet with the faint breath of a dragon on it.
Your master has just done divination, and according to her calculations, the dragon that left a breath on the bracelet was a disaster to the world many years ago. The white dragon hated because of love, revenge on the human race, once rained wantonly, caused floods, drowned many innocent people, and now he is still imprisoned in prison by the heavenly realm to atone for his sins. ”
"Mother, Master, according to the calculations of the two of you, the Zimo Gongzi I saved has a lot to do with this imprisoned dragon. Thinking of this, Red Scales was a little afraid.
In her memory, dragons are not a good thing, she once remembered that when she was a child, the Qiantang River generation where she lived suddenly fell from the sky a white dragon, the dragon opened its teeth and claws, its eyes were like copper bells, its eyes were golden light, and its body was several feet long, hovering in the layers of dark clouds, spitting rain downward.
Red Scales had the courage to look into the sky in the water, and just one glance had already made her feel timid.
Unexpectedly, the giant dragon did not come to the world to go around, it made wind and rain on the Qiantang River, swallowed clouds and spitted fog, and kept making a deafening dragon roaring sound, until the young red scales trembled, and desperately got into the arms of the master, before forgetting the fear. Later, after the white dragon vented his resentment, he left on his own.
That disaster caused heavy losses to the Dongting Water Tribe, and even made the people of Li miserable.
I still remember that there were rumors among the people at that time, saying that the relatives of this white dragon in the world were killed by traitors, and when the white dragon returned from the heavenly realm and looked for his mortal wife, he found nowhere to be found, and finally learned that his wife was forced to death by someone, ** died. The white dragon who learned the truth was painful and sad, annoyed and angry, and this was the disaster to the world.
Red Scale, who knew this simple story at that time, although she hated the white dragon in her heart and killed many innocent water tribes, but in her heart, she still had some sympathy for this white dragon.
Now that Her Royal Highness the princess and the master have reminded her of this white dragon, she has palpitations in her heart again, and she can't help but habitually hide in the master's arms again.
"Master, I'm afraid of the white dragon I saw when I was a child, tell me quickly, the person I rescued has nothing to do with that white dragon. ”
Wu glanced at the red scales, took her in his arms, stroked her long hair affectionately, and said, "My fool, it has been a long time since the white dragon appeared, and the teacher can only vaguely feel some of its breath on the bracelet. The son you rescued looks powerless, do you think he has anything to do with the white dragon?"
Hearing what Master said, Red Scale breathed a sigh of relief, blinked a pair of big eyes, and said with emotion, "Thank God, Zimo Gongzi is not a descendant of demons after all, if so, I will be the first to drive him away." ”
In the next few days, the weather was fine and Red Scales had nothing to do, so he took Senior Brother Tongguang and Zimo to the lake to collect herbs for Master.
Master carefully cultivated countless crystal jade lotuses in the depths of the lake, these jade lotuses are now in full bloom, the flowers are as white as jade, fragrant and pleasant, and the posture is thousands, they bloom quietly at the bottom of the lake, only once a year, and now it is the blooming period, and its flowers and fruits are picked back to make medicine is a rare nourishing elixir.
Picking lotuses in the lake is also a pleasure, so Red Scales will call Shangzi Mo to watch it together.
The two of them, led by the red scales, soon came to the place where the jade lotus was picked, Zimo was surprised to see such a beautiful scenery for the first time since he was a child, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Red-scaled girl, the scenery here is beautiful and picturesque, it is the first time that Xiaosheng has seen such a wonderful beauty, and it is nothing more than this in the sky. ”
"That's nature, I once followed Her Royal Highness the princess to the Heavenly Court, and I have seen the Imperial Garden of the Heavenly Court, and the flowers and plants in it are nothing more than that. This jade lotus is by no means a mundane thing in the world, but Her Royal Highness the princess specially asked the medicine master of the heavenly realm to come back and cultivate it for the master, but I didn't expect that the water quality of our Dongting Lake is quite suitable for its growth. ”
When the three of them were picking lotus flowers, there was a strange sound on the surface of the lake, and at the same time, the surrounding water waves also fluctuated sharply. Red Scale hurriedly stopped the picking action in his hand, recited a spell, fixed Zimo in the blister, and told him, "Childe, don't move, you are here to watch the water lotus, Senior Brother Tongguang and I will go to the water to investigate, and come back immediately." ”
That Zimo naturally didn't dare to move, he fell into the water when he escaped when he was a child, but fortunately he was rescued by the fisherman's father, but since then, he is still full of fear of water.
At this moment, when he heard that Red Scale and Tongguang were going to leave him to explore the water, he wanted to make a sound to stop him, but he was afraid that he would delay the important matter of the two, so he had to stay in the water-sheltering blister set up by Red Scale for him and did not dare to move, in order to reduce the fear in his heart, he could only desperately force himself to close his eyes and not look at the turbulent water waves.
Because the turbulent waves of water swayed from side to side, he felt that fear had once again completely surrounded him as when he was a child, and when he closed his eyes, his ears seemed to hear the hoarse cries of his own childhood, and the terrifying shouts of the thieves who were chasing him.
"Search for me, no one will be left behind, and if you catch it, you will be killed on the spot. ”
Under the shaking and stimulation of this terrible turbulent water wave, Zimo's dusty memory, because of fear and stress reaction, seemed to be torn open in an instant, through that opening, he could vaguely see his childhood and see his beautiful mother.
