CHAPTER XX
Nodding without tears, Xiao Qinglong didn't feel much surprised, and he returned to the Dragon Palace alone in the name of reporting to the Dragon King.
The Dragon Lord is recuperating in the White Jade Palace.
Xiao Qinglong gave a salute and smiled: "Lord Dragon, after saying goodbye to you last time, I sneaked up on Hengshan with Hua Wuse. After checking, he learned that Furong had left, and the boy surnamed Sang was surrendered and ruined by the Eight Yi Gods. β
The Dragon King glared and said: "In addition to the great harm of the surname Sang, there will be no major problem in the future, but Furong must not be taken lightly when she leaves, you must find it as soon as possible, or use it or remove it casually." β
Xiao Qinglong heard a burst of joy and grinned: "Good things are still to come, the second disciple of the Eight Yi God was pulled over by me without tears, and he promised that as long as his conditions are met, he can do anything for us, including stopping the killing of Furong - the Dragon King, this crying without tears is much stronger than the straw bag of Hua Wuse." β
The Dragon King said: "The second child of the Eight Yi Gods is so good?"
Xiao Qinglong saw that he was suspicious, so he had to tell the truth: "Actually...... Crying without tears, committing a trivial matter, and being blasted out by the Eight Easy Gods......"
The Dragon King smiled, he knew that Xiao Qinglong liked to play tricks, but he didn't care about people with stains, he just wanted to really do something practical......
This time the conversation with the Dragon King was very comfortable, and Xiao Qinglong himself admitted that it was the most suitable conversation ever, because their views gradually became clear and unified.
In the end, it was the dragon king who took pity on the little green dragon for his hard work all the way and urged him to rest, and just as the little green dragon was still getting up, Raba probed his head and drilled in.
When he came, he aroused the "tongue addiction" of the dragon lord again, and the little green dragon who had just gotten up was also pressed. Isn't it! How can the news brought by the little green dragon today be concealed from Raba!
......
But after Raba learned the general situation from the little green dragon's mouth, his body shook like chaff, fortunately sitting on the stool inconspicuously did not attract attention, he forced his beating heart: What should I do? I don't want to provoke them, but they bump into each other, and once the secret is broken, his fate will be miserable......
The Dragon Lord deliberately asked, "Brother, the two disciples of the Eight Yi Gods have returned to the Dragon Palace to do things for us, okay?"
Raba's not simple part is also here, his eyes rolled, the countermeasure came, he pretended to think deeply and said: "Although it is not wise for us to collect the waste that people have discarded, it is not impossible to use it immediately, but there is one thing that the Dragon Lord needs to pay attention to - these two people can only be used secretly, and cannot have a direct relationship with the Dragon Palace, that is to say, these two people can only run errands with Xiaoqinglong in the world in the future, and cannot come to the Dragon Palace." β
Xiao Qinglong asked puzzledly: "The two of them have no two hearts, since they have been incorporated, why can't they come to the Dragon Palace?"
The Dragon Lord was also puzzled, and looked at Raba suspiciously......
Raba sneered: "Borrow a knife to kill people, so as not to leave future troubles." β
The Dragon King was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Brother, you can make it clear." β
Raba looked unfathomable, pondered for a long time before he said in suspense: "I personally think that the size of the hibiscus is also a star, and there must be divine help when you ask for the rain banner, if the Dragon Palace comes forward to destroy her, it will not be a trivial matter to cause trouble, but I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future!"
When the Dragon King heard this, how could he help others speak? He felt uncomfortable, and he said dissatisfiedly: "According to the old brother's statement, this hibiscus can't be killed, let her go to Longchi Mountain to move the old dragon king to teach me a lesson-I black dragon has been on the throne for thousands of years, I am not afraid of the sky, the earth is not afraid, I am afraid of seeing the old father Wang ......."
Raba said with a smile: "Lord Dragon King is angry, listen to what I said, since the two wastes are greedy for the glory of my Dragon Palace, why don't you use him, let them kill Furong." After the matter was completed, we said that it was done by the people of the Eight Yi Gods, and it did not match our Dragon Palace at all, Lord Dragon, isn't this killing two birds with one stone. To paraphrase an ugly sentence, the bitch has to be done, and the torii must be ......"
The great cause of seeking rain has a long way to go, and the road is long and difficult...... There are many dangerous mountains and evil paths, and in the thought of life and death, disasters often approach inadvertently and give way miraculously every time.
Furong with a little no regrets even though she ate Guanyin Bodhisattva's thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, but how can she withstand this almost superhuman endurance and strength. After another half a year from Hengshan, they have become skinny and skinny. However, he survived with a breath that did not fall from his throat, and with the "walking route map" provided by the water ghost, he forced himself into the northern capital.
The northern capital is a mountainous area, not only many but also the mountains stretch majestic, once a time, the mountains of the northern capital are the pride of the world, it is so beautiful and envious that even the Jade Emperor wants to build a palace in the northern capital - however, this is not the same as before.
Today's northern capital is not even easy to walk, in fact, there is no road, and the constant wind and sand swallow up the original road. The original "rampage" of the mountain shrank and slipped, and people stepped on it, either sinking into the mud and sand, or tripping over the gravel, and had to force their hands and feet to climb the mountain and climb over the ridge. One or two mountains have no good flesh in their palms, and they are black and oozing with blood.
Fleur can endure it, and she can endure it if she doesn't regret it, and she has no strength until sunset.
Xiao Buregret collapsed on the side and muttered: "I'm so tired, my stomach is empty, if I can eat a meal and sleep again, I will die without regrets." β
Fleur wanted to pull her up, but seeing the miserable situation of Xiao Wuregret's unrepentant appearance, she opened her mouth and couldn't say anything.
Xiao Buregret understood Furong's mood, she gritted her teeth and tried to stand up, but before she straightened her waist and her feet were sore, she collapsed again, it wasn't that she was lazy, it was too ...... Indescribable......
Fleur's heart seemed to be stabbed, and her strong guilt prompted her to squat down and hug Xiao Buregret for a while...... And now, let her carry her head and walk with herself on the tip of the knife - thinking of Sang Ming, who she hadn't met for half a year, how could he lose his trust, he could catch up on foot for such a long time, not to mention that he could ride the clouds...... Where would Furong have thought that Sang Ming had been trapped in the Sola Cave in the West Heaven and was begging for life and death......
"Senior sister, senior sister......"
Fleur came back to her senses, only to find that it was Xiao Buregret who stared at her eyes and shouted to herself, she was stunned for a moment, and with Xiao Buregret's stunned eyes, even she was stupid, it turned out that a hole appeared behind her at some point.
"This ...... Just now...... Isn't there any?"
Xiao Buregret was scared, and arched straight into Fleur's arms: "...... That's it, I'm ...... I looked up...... Seeing the ...... revealed"
Furong saw that there was a red lacquer cave door, and knew that it was not a cave in the wilderness, but it was difficult to determine whether it was a fairy or a demon living inside, so she patted Xiao Buregret and comforted: "Don't be afraid, there is a senior sister here." I'll go and see, and if it's not right, you run. β
However, as soon as Fleur's voice fell, the door of the cave opened, and out of it came an old man with a bowed waist with a cane, and he smiled all over his face: "The candle is burning in the morning, and there will be distinguished guests, look, it's coming." β
"Dare to ask what realm the uncle is?"
"Which realm...... Oh, according to yin and yang, I am neither yin nor yang. According to the upper, middle and lower points, I am a little higher than the top and bottom, and a little higher than the bottom, but I can't be in the middle, which realm do you say I am?"
Funny and funny to amuse the panicked little regrets: "Hey! Then you're not human." β
"I'm not human, so what am I?"
"You...... You are ......"
The old man with a hunched waist was happy, and laughed and said, "How the little nun reads the scriptures, even my land lord doesn't know. β
"Lord of the land. They were completely relieved.
"Yes, a few days ago, the land gathered, and I heard that the mother of the world went to Longchi Mountain to ask for rain, and the special commission of the land waited here and set up a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust. The land lord pulled them in.
As soon as you enter the cave door, the long-lost smell of vegetables and meat wafts into your nose. After seeing a steaming table full of wine and food, Fleur couldn't help but swallow her saliva, If she hadn't been pulled, she would have done it earlier.
"Eat, eat, I've starved you along the way. β
Fleur looked at the fragrant feast and asked suspiciously: "Lord of the land, there is a great drought in the world, there is no water, there is no grass, and the common people have suffered a catastrophe, how did you come to the wine and food?"
The land lord smiled and nodded: "It's no wonder that Niang Niang is surprised, it's a long story, there has been a drought in the world, and our land has also suffered, no one has taken care of the land temple, and no one has come to the court, there are no fireworks in the temple, and there is not a single bird outside the temple." In desperation, he had to retreat to the cave. It's funny to say, I got this meal from some old friends in the fairy world today, alas! I still have to eat when I'm old, and I ...... lose my old face."
Fleur was a little indignant when she heard this, and couldn't help but accuse: "How can I afford to treat me alone." As the land, you have always lived in the world and exercised the destiny of heaven, and now how can you take a back seat and enjoy yourself in such a great calamity? β
The land lord still smiled: "Niangniang, the world is so big, what can I do with a small land?"
Furong said: "As a land, you need to observe the people's feelings, not to mention presiding over justice, but you should go to heaven according to the truth!"
Lord Di paused and sneered: "Niangniang doesn't know, the land in the world plays once in the sky every five years, and even if the sky falls, it can't change the rules." β
Fleur knew that the land lord didn't talk, and at the same time, she was ashamed of her impulsiveness and ignorance of the reason, and she said guiltily: "Fleur is wrong to blame the land lord, alas! In fact, she can only blame herself for the blame, so that everything in the world has suffered and suffered." β
Lord Di smiled heartily and waved his hands: "Use the rice first, use the rice first, the food will be tasteless when it is cold." β
It's hard to resist the enthusiasm, and once the long-lost appetite is opened, it is like a rapid flood that is unstoppable. This meal, everyone was happy to eat, and even the hibiscus who ate carefully also had a swollen stomach.
Xiao Buregret couldn't sit steadily, leaned back on the chair and wiped his stomach while shouting: "It's really enjoyable, if you have such a good food and drink every day, I won't go to ...... when I am a fairy."
Unexpectedly, the words were still in his mouth, and he suddenly screamed in pain, and Xiao Buregret covered his stomach with his hands and screamed "Wow Wow". Fleur was stunned, and before she could come back to her senses, the fishy smell suddenly gushed into her throat, and she was nauseous and unbearable, and she vomited a lot of "wow". She broke out in a cold sweat: Could it be that she was trapped...... I couldn't help but scream in shock: "Lord Land, why is this? You can't have two hearts!"
The land lord also panicked, held their pulse for a while, and ordered the little servant to bring a bowl of black soup to feed it, and the pain disappeared in an instant.
Xiao Bu regretted: "What kind of treasure is this? Catch Ming'er and let me bring some for future use." β
The land lord looked at the two of them and lowered his head sadly: "Poor, you have not been stained with oil and water in your belly for a long time, and you are almost dry. He didn't say a few words but burst into tears, crying and said: "Niangniang, as a land, I can't bear to see you suffer from this great suffering, but the small land has limited capacity, so I can only dare to ask Niangniang to settle here, although the life is hard, but there will be no wind and waves, and it is better to go out again in the future." β
Furong shook her head and said, "The land lord has suffered from natural disasters, why do you still say such negative words, aren't you afraid of hurting my Furong's heart?"
Lord Land said: "The local status is low, and I can't afford to support you if I want to keep you." Some time ago, when I went to the old friends of the fairy world to eat, I had no intention of talking about the great drought in the world, and they all thought that although this matter was important, it was complicated. The Dragon Lord of the Water Tribe has always been known for his recklessness, and what he believes is that the Jade Emperor is afraid that it will be difficult to change, so the fairy world turns a blind eye to this matter, lest he get into trouble. Niangniang's righteous act of asking for rain is also what they said, they are very moved by this matter, whether you succeed or not, but for your spirit of not being afraid of hardships, challenging the world, throwing youth, blood and even life to save the world - leaving Niangniang to settle here is also their meaning, they also promise to wait for Niangniang to be sent to heaven to be sealed, enjoy the glory and wealth. β
Hearing this, Fleur's heart shook. She knew that the reason behind this was like a twisted mess of thorns, with a myriad of intricate relationships. It can't be easily unraveled, but once it is unraveled, it turns the world upside down. She tried her best to pretend to be calm, and replied tactfully: "Lord of the Land, you and the kindness of your friends in the fairy world have been appreciated. But I swore before I left that I would rather die on the way to ask for rain than secretly cultivate the fruits of self-cultivation - forgetting all sentient beings in the sea of suffering in the world, how can there be 'meritorious results'. β
The land lord stared at him for a long time before he opened his mouth: "You two really don't want to stay?"
Fleur shook her head: "Lord of the Land, I understand your kindness!"
Lord Di nodded, he knew that no condition could change Niangniang's firm will...... His heart suddenly warmed: "Furong Niangniang, it's not that the land has bad intentions and deliberately obstructs it, but it's actually a long way to ask for rain, and it's not something that people in the world can do with their bodies." Besides, even if you arrive at Longchi Mountain, how can you inspire the old dragon king who has gone into seclusion? Even if you inspire him, can he kill his relatives in righteousness and kill each other for the sake of others?
The old friend of the fairy world and Niangniang were confidants in their previous lives, and they were very sympathetic to Niangniang's situation when they learned that they wanted to help, but this is the will of God, and the overall situation of reincarnation has been decided, and it is even more inappropriate to reverse it under the pretense of Shinto disobedience - so it is inconvenient for them to come forward in person, and they entrusted me with a small land, and I will tell you like this, so it is up to you to decide. β
Seeing that Furong and the two had no intention of accommodating him, the land lord sighed: "Okay, you should think about it, the night is late, I am shabby in this cave, and the grievances will rest overnight." As he spoke, Gu Zi retreated into the room.
Early the next morning, Fleur got up and wanted to say goodbye to the land lord, but after knocking for a long time, there was no movement.
Xiao Buregret was angry: "This old man is hiding from us, afraid that we will have breakfast." Senior sister, leave him alone, you can save yourself from nagging and nagging. β
Fleur said: "This is not good, no matter what, it will disturb people for a night." Even if you delay for a while, you have to say hello. β
As he spoke, the door of the inner room opened, and out of a small servant, he handed Fleur a note, and without making a sound, he went back into the inner room and closed the door.
Fleur opened it and saw that it was:
It was originally a rich and noble life of the stars, but it was framed and descended to the world.
Ambition is not afraid of violence, and he has lost his hand to settle his grievances.
Yesterday, the old friends of the fairy world remembered their old feelings to ignite.
Feng Jun carefully considered it, and the bitterness and happiness were just a thought.
It took two months to climb over dozens of mountains and mountains in the northern capital.
When we arrived at the plains at the end of the mountain, it was the twilight of winter. The plains are uncovered, and the wind is fierce all day and night, and the whistling sound is whirring, and there is no end in sight.
After walking in the wind and sand for a few days, they still couldn't see the end, and the two of them were anxious.
"Senior sister, my mouth, nose, eyes, and ears are full of mud and sand, this hellish place, why can't I get out?"
Hibiscus didn't make a sound, she knew that Xiao Buregret was complaining, just send it, and feel better when she sent it out......
"Ahh
Xiao Buregret screamed and fell to the ground, she turned around and quickly got up, pointed to a protruding object and shouted at Fleur, "Hell! What is it, it's soft, I tripped over it when I stepped on it......"
Fleur stepped forward only to find two unclothed beggars lying motionless. She was not afraid of filth, and lovingly wiped the thick dust from the beggar's face, and saw that one was a woman, and the other was a half-grown girl...... She was silent for a long time, and for some reason, she stretched out her hands and pinched the two of them for a while.
The little girl had already lost her breath, and the woman slowly relented, and looked up with her eyes open, her cracked lips trembling as if she were talking.
Fleur leaned up to her ear and faintly heard a few words.
β...... Who are you...... Is it a human or a ghost, I ...... Where am I...... This drowsy ...... Can...... But hell, the house fell...... The people of the village ...... It's all gone...... Those who can't walk are ...... All went......"
Fleur's heart trembled, she felt so sad and so slim...... What year and month is the vast sea of suffering......
"The sky is falling...... The earth is withered...... Man is going to heaven,...... The flowers are blooming again...... and the tree bears red fruit...... Come and take a shower...... I...... I'm so comfortable in the water...... It's so comfortable,...... Good ......"
The woman was smiling when she breathed, wondering if she had really arrived in the heavenly fairyland, or if she had been blinded by the illusion of darkness.
Watching a beggar die in front of him is something ordinary people can't do, but Fleur did it, which doesn't mean that she's different, it's just that it induces Fleur's potential motherhood - a short silence, Fleur cried, and she herself didn't understand whether to cry for the dead woman or for herself......
"No regrets, let's bury her mother and daughter. β
"Senior sister, are you mistaken, the world is old, life and death are common things, can you manage so much?"
"It's all raised by the mother's womb, and it's also a person, it's okay if you don't run into it, and today you encounter a wilderness that can't be abandoned, send her a ride and feel more at ease......."
According to the "walking route map" provided by the water ghosts, when I was about to walk out of the boundary of the northern capital, I saw a mountain range.
The long-lost mountain, although it is just as bare and scorched, has a sense of intimacy no matter how you look at it.
Xiao Bu regretted running ahead, showing a smile that had not appeared for many days, she desperately looked up the mountainβshe fantasized about a place on the mountainside and between the mountains where a hole in the land with wine and meat suddenly appeared......
"Look, look, there are people on the top of the mountain. β
At first, Fleur thought that Xiao Buregret was amused, and looked up inadvertently, and sure enough, there was a group of people, about dozens of people, and what surprised her even more was that the group of people rushed straight to her......
Before the two of them could react, a noisy footstep came from far and near, and in a moment they were coaxed in front of them.
Fleur's heart froze, and she shouted: "Where did the demon dare to do anything wrong in the world." β
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are demons, they only have a little human form left on them, with tree bark for trousers, thatch for clothing, and grass clippings wrapped in fluffy messy hair - not what are demons!
As soon as Furong finished speaking, a short man with a rattan tied on his head, covered in bark and holding a bare eyebrow stick in his hands jumped out of the crowd, he raised the eyebrow stick and waved it violently towards Furong, and shouted in a hissing voice: "I am in charge of this mountain, I am driving this road, what kind of demon girl are you, dare to say that we are demons, come, brothers, tie me up and carry it up to share the meat to eat." β
This group of savages suddenly laughed and wanted to make a move, Xiao Buregret flashed out, and shouted loudly: "The mother of the world is here, who dares to go wild, our troops behind us will come soon, if you want to live, get out of here, otherwise you will ......"
The dwarf man at the head laughed: "You are the mother of the world, haha, I am still the emperor of the world." β
"Big brother, although these two little ladies are unkempt, their faces are not bad, their bodies are also slim, and their speech is also attractive. We haven't gotten such good goods in Guangming Cave yet, so wouldn't his old man be happy to get them back and dedicate them to the cave master. β
The short eldest brother led by him didn't pay attention to it, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but go up and take a closer look, through the dust and messy hair on his face - he really didn't know it, he was shocked when he saw it, and he was two peerless beauties in front of him...... He swallowed, glared and shouted: "Brothers, grab the two ladies and use them and then give them to the cave master, whoever catches them will be used first." β
Fleur and her lips trembled with anger, she knew that although the group of people in front of her were not demons, they were also a group of degraded people in the world, and they were the second king of the living Toyin. can deal with King Yin with the help of Sang Ming, and only rely on himself to deal with this group of fishy strongmen......
Fleur was bare-handed, and she was really not sure in her heart, but she had a sword and joined her back with Fleur to face the fierce attack.
Thankfully, this scrawny rabble didn't have much ability, and the two of them cut down a large area back and forth with one to a dozen.
When the short eldest brother met this fierce enemy, he was shocked, and he no longer dared to fight, so he entangled a few remaining brothers to make a flaw, and took the opportunity to capture Xiao Buregret and rushed up the mountain.
Fleur gasped and chased after the middle of the mountain, but the gang of strongmen closed the mountain gate, she picked up a stump and stabbed it hard, wanting to rush in, but she rolled out a large piece of gravel with a "bang" on both sides and smashed it down without a head. She hurriedly dodged, but fortunately she was able to dodge properly, but she was forced back to the bottom of the mountain.
The twilight is getting thicker, and the cold wind is rising again.
Angry and anxious, Fleur sat on the ground panting, exhausted and unable to keep up her spiritsβthe faint light of the fire flickered on the mountain peak. As if burning Furong's trembling heart, she screamed sadly: No regrets, you have to hold on, otherwise how can the senior sister be worthy of you......
Fleur rushed up the mountain overnight, and her heart was blank.
At this time, her mind was full of Xiao Buregret's lively and cute figure, and she secretly warned herself that if she couldn't save Xiao Buregret, she would never forgive herself.
When she climbed halfway up the mountain, she estimated that there were guards at the mountain gate, and in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, she forced to cross the steep cliff and bypass the ghostly mountain gate.
The farther you go to the peak, the flatter and wider it becomes, but strangely there is not a trace of a thief. Fleur wondered: I saw a figure shaking here just now, why is there no one now, could it be that they are ghosts and gods who can stealth magic......
When I was puzzled, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me. She hurriedly dodged to the side and watched carefully. Not long after, a little minion with a disheveled hair came over with a stick in his hand and his head bowed.
Fleur was not at first angry, but when she saw that there was only one minion, she was bold, and rushed forward to cover her mouth from behind her, and fell to the ground, dragging her to the shadows.
The little minion was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.
Fleur looked at him pitiful, and asked with a relieved expression: "Little brother, don't be afraid, I won't kill you, but you have to say what I asked." β
The little minions trembled, and shook their heads vigorously at first, but when they came into contact with Fleur's eyes, there was an invisible heroism, so they had to nod their heads in fear.
Fleur asked, "Today you caught a woman at the bottom of the mountain, what happened to her?"
The little minion didn't know whether he was nervous or dull by nature, and stammered: "She's ...... She...... She was robbed by our dwarf big brother...... Grab it back and give it to ...... Give it to the light ...... Bright Cave ...... Cave Master...... Do...... It's a lady, but ...... May ...... today ...... tonight ...... married."
How can a nun get married? Fleur secretly complained and asked, "Where is the Bright Cave?"
"In ...... In front of the mountain...... Mountain recess...... Recessed re...... ...... right again Lower right ...... Half a mile ......"
At this time, it was late at night, and Xiao Buregret was afraid that a weak woman would not be able to escape her doom - Fleur was so anxious that her heart also raised her throat: "You take me there." β
"No...... No, he ...... They will ...... Will kill ...... Kill my ......"
Fleur couldn't afford to delay the time, so she said fiercely, "I can kill you too." β
The little minions were stunned, he knew that this woman was not joking, and after a while, he had to cry and go on the road with a sad face. Fortunately, I didn't even encounter a ghost, and I turned around and came to a huge mountain recess in a basin terrain.
Although there was no one here, but the noisy voices had paralyzed the little minions who were leading the way, and he threw himself in front of Fleur and begged, "Sister, you ...... You let me go, and ...... Go down again...... I...... Not...... I don't give them a ...... to live. Slipped alive is not ...... Unavoidable ......"
The little minions lay on the ground and refused to get up, and Fleur saw that he was pitiful and did not force him anymore, so she found a tree rope to tie him to a broken stake to prevent bad things, and gagged him again.
