22, Dragon Family (5)
"Brother, today's dusk is so beautiful, it's been a long time since we've watched the sunset together like this. "Xuanyuan Rongxue and Xuanyuan Rongfang sat on the eaves corner of the Water Fragrance Pavilion, which was the secret base of the two of them when they were children.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, covered in gold. Since the spontaneous combustion phenomenon in Beihai Kingdom, Xuanyuan Rong was afraid that his sister would be injured, so he never allowed her to go up again.
This time, Xuanyuan Rongxue suddenly suggested that the two of them go to watch the sunset together again.
"yes, it's beautiful. Xuanyuan Rong looked at the red sunset, watching the gorgeous colorful glow spread across the sky, at this moment, he felt that time was very beautiful, like returning to a carefree childhood.
There are no worldly worries, just willfulness.
"Do you know why I want to use this as a secret base for the two of us?" said Xuanyuan Rongxue, looking up at the sky.
"Why?" Xuanyuan Rong turned her head, her side face was delicate and cute, and she looked happy.
"What do you see when you look east?"
Xuanyuan Rong looked to the east, and looked at the past, in addition to the lush trees and elegant and unique carved beams and paintings, the most obvious thing to see was his residence.
He suddenly understood, his eyes were wet all of a sudden, and he used a joking way to hide the sourness in his heart, and said, "I didn't expect Xue'er to spy on me every day." ”
Xuanyuan Rongxue laughed briskly a few times, and then said: "My brother is sometimes busy with state affairs, and he won't come to see me for several days, so I just sit on this eaves, look at it, look at it, watch the lights in the palace go out, and the palace ladies in the palace go in and out, I think it's good that I am the maidservant at the door, so I can guard you every day." ”
"Fool, how can any girl not want to be a princess?" Xuanyuan Rongfang still wanted to rub her head by the way when she said she was a fool as before, but when her hand was raised above her head, she hesitated and put it down.
At the end of the day, there is a difference between men and women.
"Probably. Xuanyuan Rongxue looked at the red sunset, and her eyes were a little pantothenic.
This was probably the last sunset she would ever see!
At night, the sea is rough.
The tide rolled, carrying thousands of horses, and slammed against the beach like a roaring black beast.
The stars fell on the black sea, turning over and shining silver.
Lou Qingyue stood in the wind, and his sleeve robe was blown rattling.
Then, a voice rang out, "How did you know I was coming?"
"Then how did you know I would be waiting for you here?"
"Hmph. Xuanyuan Rongxue chuckled, "The mountain lord's mind is not ordinary. ”
Lou Qingyue is not good at dealing with people, and likes a straightforward, simple and rude style of acting, "Since you have done evil, follow me to Zhaohua, and the next life will ............."
Lou Qingyue's words were interrupted, "The mountain master is really resolute in doing things, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked me to go to Zhaohua." ”
"Do you have any other choice?"
"Do you like to bully the weak so much?"
"Some people have said that, but it's always been a deaf ear, and I don't care. ”
"I don't have such a cold heart as the mountain lord, what's good in the next life, how many lives I have experienced, but he never remembers me, doesn't remember the agreement, but it doesn't matter, I just remember. Xuanyuan Rongxue muttered to herself.
In the middle of the night, there was silence between the mountains and the sea, only the sound of the sea breeze and waves remained.
Lou Qingyue felt a strong sadness from the quiet environment.
After a while, Xuanyuan Rongxue said, "You said that you only care about the affairs of the human world, right?"
"Yes. ”
"This suffering at sea is taken care of, so who knows and hears the suffering under the sea, like a magic sound, day and night, lingering in my ears. The Nine Clans of the Human Realm are short-term suffering, but for the Dragon Clan, it is long-term, desperate, and without light, if I don't save them, who else will remember. ”
Lou Qingyue looked at the black sea and did not speak.
Xuanyuan Rongxue glanced at Lou Qingyue, and saw that she was pondering, presumably her own words had played a role, so she said, "I want to ask you for something." ”
"I won't necessarily say yes. ”
"No, it doesn't break your rules, it doesn't violate your conscience, it's a merit for you. ”
"I don't need merit. ”
Xuanyuan Rongxue didn't pay attention to it, but continued to say her words: "After I remove the immortal bones, I hope you will use my residual cultivation to open the underwater barrier for me." ”
"Do you know the consequences?"
"Yes, but this is my only unfulfilled wish, and it is his. Xuanyuan Rongxue looked at Lou Qingyue with a pleading look in her eyes.
This is the first time Lou Qingyue has met someone who is bent on dying, and he is resolute and sad.
"A lot of people would rather live or wait for the next life. Lou Qingyue didn't know why she said this, as if she was persuading her not to do moths to fight fire.
"Then make my exception, please help me open the underwater barrier!"
After speaking, Xuanyuan Rongxue glanced at the majestic palace behind her, reluctant to give up. After turning around, he slammed his palm on his chest, pulling out the divine bones in his body.
In the midst of the blood, Xuanyuan Rongxue showed her true body, which was actually a butterfly with a dragon's torso and colorful wings.
Lou Qingyue was shocked, she was not a dragon, so everything she said was false, "Since you are not a dragon, why would you rather give up your life and be wiped out to save the dragon?"
Xuanyuan Rongxue lost her strength and fell to the ground, "Because this is my agreement with him, I am willing." Xuanyuan Rongxue turned to say, "I'm afraid that he will wake up, if he comes to you, I will think for you, just say that I know that I have a deep sin, and I will go to Zhaohua with you, and when I wash away my sins, I will go back to him; ”
In an instant, the Xuanyuan Rongxue on the ground turned into a shattered shadow of light and scattered in the dust.
Lou Qingyue took out the ice spirit and threw it into the air.
The mottled and scattered light and shadow gradually converged towards the ice.
She cast a spell to move the ice spirit that condensed Xuanyuan Rongxue's cultivation to the sky above the North Sea, and in an instant, the inky sky exploded with red light, and then fell into the sea, disappearing to the bottom of the sea.
The surging tide receded in both directions, and a mountain gradually emerged.
It was the Sun Moon Mountain, which had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and it was able to see the light of day again.
Lou Qingyue cast a spell, and the mountain peak slowly rose to the sea, and for a while, the waves crashed on the shore, the wind and waves surged, and a fierce roar was born between heaven and earth.
The Fire Qi Mirror on the top of the mountain was crumbling, and cracks began to appear on the golden mirror.
I only heard a "bang", like the sound of heaven and earth cracking, and the fire mirror shattered and fell into the sea, splashing thousands of feet high.
The sound of countless dragon groans boiled from under the water, and then many green dragons jumped out of the water, hovering in the air, and roaring.
Sun Moon Mountain finally came out of the water, and the waves on both sides of the river then bonded together.
Lou Qingyue retracted the ice spirit, and said sharply to the dragon in the sky: "I can let you out, or I can imprison you again, today, I set up a rule here, the dragon clan can only live underwater, and cannot go ashore to make trouble, can you agree?"
The dragons, who had been exposed to the sun for thousands of years, no longer dared to return to the dark and dark days of the past, so they immediately agreed, and after a few long whistles, they went to the bottom of the water one after another.
The sea was calm again, and Xuanyuan Rongxue turned into a wave in the water, or a drop of seawater, and was never seen again.
Suddenly, rain began to fall in the night sky, falling on the surface of the sea, spreading layer after layer of water.
Lou Qingyue conjured up a cyan oil-paper umbrella in her left hand, propped it up on top of her head, and the rain was dripping on the umbrella surface, for some reason, she wanted to stay here for a while.
She stared at the lake in a daze, her heart empty, but she didn't even know what she was thinking, and she found that there was a place in her heart that seemed to be empty.
I don't know what it used to be?
After standing for a while, the voices of Bai Tuanzi and Yunhe sounded behind him, "Little aunt, can we leave for Zhaohua?"
Lou Qingyue turned around and said straightly: "Yunhe and I will go back first, and Bai Tuanzi will leave at noon tomorrow." ”
"Why, I miss Xiaoxiao's cooking a little bit, no, I'm going to go with you?" Bai Tuanzi went out of the palace, he was really not used to eating coarse tea and light rice outside the Beihai Palace, and he didn't get any benefit from this trip, so he lost his temper.
Lou Qingyue never consults with others about what he decides.
"Tomorrow, Xuanyuan Rongfang will come, if he asks, you only need to answer him two questions, one is that Bingluo is the condition that was said before, and the other is that Xuanyuan Rongxue I took away, and I will meet again. ”
"Oh. Bai Tuanzi had no choice but to agree.
Also, give this to Xuanyuan Rongfang and tell him that it was left to him by Xuanyuan Rongxue. Lou Qingyue picked up the keel on the ground, put it in his hand, and changed it slightly, turning it into a sword.
"It seems like three questions. Bai Tuanzi's words exuded dissatisfaction, obviously partiality.
Lou Qingyue glanced at Bai Tuanzi and left with Yunhe, and there was a faint warning voice from the little aunt before leaving, "Don't make trouble, otherwise you will come back and receive the punishment." ”
Bai Tuanzi flattened his mouth and walked back silently alone.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and the sound of "ping pong" slamming the door sounded in the inn downstairs, Bai Tuanzi woke up from the sleep of food, and wiped his saliva impatiently, "Who, this early in the morning." ”
He rolled over and went back to sleep, but the annoying slamming sound of the door was still ringing, and no one cared about it.
He got up, walked downstairs, and opened the door, at this time Xuanyuan Rong snatched the door and entered, and when he saw Bai Tuanzi, he immediately grabbed him and asked, "Where is the mountain master, where is the mountain master?"
Bai Tuanzi recognized Xuanyuan Rongfang, so he found a place to sit down, and continued to fall asleep on the table, and said vaguely: "She's gone." ”
"Did she take Cher away?"
"She wants me to tell you that she took both Bingluo and Xuanyuan Rongxue with her, and in exchange, there is something for you. ”
"What's that?"
"In my room, it's a sword, you go get it yourself, I'm too lazy to go up, and after this sleep, I'm going to leave too." ”
Xuanyuan Rongfang rushed to the room, and after a while, he walked down from the upstairs with a sword with a sad face, and when he walked to Bai Tuanzi's side, he said sadly: "Did Xue'er have anything to say before leaving?"
"It should be just take care of yourself or something, oh, I remember, I'll see you soon. ”
"Is that all?"
"That's all. ”
Then, Xuanyuan Rong walked out of the inn in despair and walked in the direction of the palace.
After he left, Bai Tuanzi straightened up, looked out the door, and sighed helplessly.
After leaving the inn, Xuanyuan Rongfang came to the Water Fragrance Pavilion, where Xuanyuan Rongxue once lived, and there seemed to be her smiling figure here.
He withdrew from all the maids here, and tears rained down the moment he stepped on the threshold.
He fell to his knees, his heartache spreading violently in his chest, and every organ in his body suddenly lost its strength, and even crying felt like a laborious thing.
The more sad it is, the clearer the memory.
Scenes from the past come to mind one by one, lingering.
"Brother, do you know what the most powerful sword in the world is made of?"
"I know, it's a thousand-year-old iron. ”
Xuanyuan Rongxue shook her head and denied: "It's the keel, the vertebrae of the water dragon butterfly, which is harder than Xuantie, but if you take it, it won't survive." ”
"Fool, where it looks weird, where there are water dragons and butterflies in this world, it's all nonsense. ”
"Yes, right next to me. ”
"Brother, look at the painting I painted, it is a water dragon butterfly, which is parasitic on the dragon, once it is parasitic, it is a loss for this life. ”
"I'm thinking about it again, I've only heard of pink butterflies, butterflies, and water dragon butterflies. ”
"Brother, why don't you always believe what I say, one day, I will make you believe that such a species exists in this world. ”
"Xue'er, what good things did my brother bring you from the Central Plains?"
"I don't want this shadow puppeteer!"
..............
The shadow puppeteers were wiped clean and carefully preserved.
The paintings still hung quietly in the study, but there was one more: a dragon and a butterfly cheering on the blue sea with mountain peaks, and there were many dragons around them.
Many years later, Xuanyuan Rong became the king of the Beihai Kingdom, and with the sword in his hand, he repelled the surrounding tribes that repeatedly invaded the southern grasslands and other tribes, and shocked the Quartet.
They said that the bride was like a deceased princess, and on the day of the ceremony, a butterfly flew from nowhere, and suddenly landed on Xuanyuan Rong's lips, and she was reluctant to leave for a long time.
