Fifteen: Drunk and free
On the way back to Xishan, Liuyue asked me: "Why have you always avoided me during this time, have I offended you?" Glancing at Chunjiao, who was listening with her neck stretched out with her ears sideways, I sighed: "After all, there is a difference between men and women, it is not good for me to get too close to you after all, it is better to keep a distance in the future." ”
"You were brought into Xishan by me, of course we have to get closer, in this Changsheng Library, who else in the entire Xishan can be closer than us?" Liuyue was a little angry, and I didn't bother to explain to him, so I just pulled Shui Qiao and Hongyu to leave. In this Xi Mountain, I just want to find the person who can lift the seal on my sister's heart, and concentrate on practicing Taoism, and I really don't want to make any extraneous branches as for the rest.
In the third month of the lunar calendar, Xiyun Mountain will usher in the day when the Hundred Flowers Fairy and the Flower Fairy come to pick the fairy grass and immortal medicine to worship the Queen Mother, this is the important day of Xiyun Mountain every year, the library will put a ten-day holiday on the day of the arrival of the Hundred Flowers Fairy and assign students to find a rare fairy grass to present to the Hundred Flowers Fairy as a gift, and the Hundred Flowers Fairy will also take the Queen Mother's reward to benefit Xiyun Mountain and give a gift to the students of the Changsheng Library who found the fairy grass, and the Changsheng Library will be proud of it as a holy relic to be enshrined in the hall.
Rare fairy grass is very difficult to encounter, so in previous years, the arrival of the Hundred Flowers Fairy was mediocre, and there was nothing rare. It's just that I heard that there is only one treasure enshrined in the temple so far, which is a willow moon scimitar obtained by a girl named Sha Zhi from the West Sea two thousand years ago as a gift to the Hundred Flowers Fairy.
This year's students of the Changsheng Library are eager to try, and they all want to take the first place to add glory to the Changsheng Library.
Liuyue asked me to go to the Xiyun Valley to look for it, and I wanted to refuse, but the other fellow sects already had companions and had to agree, and all the fellow disciples of the Immortal Library went their separate ways after they were organized. After searching for five or six days, climbing all over the mountains, no one found anything rare. Xishan Library was very anxious, I discussed with Liuyue to go to Dongrong, the bitter cold place of Xiyun Mountain, to find strange flowers and plants, I heard that there was a strange flower there, but no one dared to step into the cold place of Bingrong.
"I heard that the green plum garden of winter melting in the middle of the night the underground ice dragon will inspect the plum garden, when the crack is cracked, there is a beautiful strange flower under the white snow layer 'drunk and free' will be revealed, this flower is a thousand years of ice and snow breeding, this flower has the magic of resurrection to open up the blood to enhance the skill, it is also an excellent holy product for making pills, the ice melts with the care of the ice dragon, and no one dares to step into the forbidden land for more than a thousand years. If we find this flower, we will definitely be able to build a great thing. I looked at an ancient book found in the Immortal Library, and said to Liuyue excitedly.
"Yes, you've been in the Immortal Library for a long time, and you know more things, but you don't know that this drunken escape only appears next to the ice dragon, and the ice dragon turns into ice everywhere it passes, even if you get close to the ice dragon without a chance, you can't get it. Liuyue said to me.
"Maybe we can get it, I'm going to give it a try. "I was eager to try it, curious and looking forward to Drunken Joy and Ice Dragon.
"It's easier said than done. Liuyue was so excited to see me, and didn't want to discourage my enthusiasm too much: "Maybe it's better to go and see from afar." ”
After discussing the schedule, Liuyue and I came to the Green Plum Garden on this day, Liuyue and I wore red and white cloaks to browse the scenery of the Green Plum Garden, and at night we lay in the snow and waited for the ice dragon to come out.
The night was very long, and after waiting for a long time, my body was a little sleepy, and Liuyue, who was lying on the snow, turned over and took out two pills of Healing Heart Pill from her arms, divided one of them, and took them each, and pulled me to lie down under the largest plum tree in the garden.
"The snow and ice have risen in the place where the ice dragon has passed, but the plum trees in this garden have never injured half of the branches, so it should be safest to stay under the plum trees and not be buried by the snow and ice that have been raised. Liuyue guessed, I nodded, and settled under the plum tree with Liuyue, waiting for the arrival of the ice dragon.
After waiting for a long time, just when I was dazed and wanted to sleep for a while, there was a "rumbling" sound in the distance, I followed the sound, and saw the plum garden in the distance suddenly turned up a hundred meters high snow waves, overwhelming one by one, the scattered ice flowers became a solid ice knife array when they stabbed in the sky, and all the plum branches turned into ice sculptures everywhere, and they made a crackling and crisp sound of collision when passing by the wind.
"Shuoyue, go quickly, this drunk can't be picked, if you don't leave, you and I will become glass people like those plum trees. The flowing moon pulled me and ran, and the ice dragon behind me stirred the snow and "boomed".
"No, we can't outrun the ice dragon, and we have nowhere to hide. I looked back at the snow and ice slag behind me, panting.
"There's a hill ahead, let's run to the top of the hill first. "The flowing moon pulled me to run, and the ice dragon chased after me.
My body and Liuyue froze, our bodies were quickly covered with ice and snow, and when the blood coagulated all over our bodies, our feet were suddenly dragged deep into the ground by an object, and our eyes were dark, and then we were pushed out of the ground again, and behind the tail of the ice dragon, the ice dragon flew over the ground under the snow with ice blades, and a string of crystal clear five-petal flowers behind the tail emitted a multicolored light, far away from the ice dragon and quickly dissipated without a trace.
"Quick, that's drunk, go catch it. "The flowing moon flew over, and I followed closely behind, not caring about the other left and right.
Liuyue grabbed a drunk flower and turned into water droplets in the palm of her hand in a second, and then grabbed a few more flowers and turned into a few drops of water.
I also reached out and grabbed it, and it also turned into a few drops of water, I was in a hurry, and flew close to the tail of the ice dragon, "Shuoyue, come back, be careful." ”
A pair of ice blades stabbed at me, and the blood on my body immediately flowed like a torrent of blood, and I fell to the ground, and the blood drippeds on the strings of drunken and leisurely and suddenly turned into red flowers, and never disappeared with the ice dragon.
I knelt on the ground and picked a drunken flower to welcome the light and look at it, it was very beautiful, and the translucent petals flowed with a trace of blood red, like the meridians and blood of flowers, and revealed all kinds of beautiful halo silk threads.
I was looking for God, a cold mist sprayed in front of me, a pair of huge eyes stared at me, I fixed my eyes, it turned out to be the head of the ice dragon looking down at me, the huge nostrils sprayed cold air, I turned around to look for Liuyue, and found that there was a short old man with a cane who was standing in the distance with Liuyue, Liuyue was also scarred, dripping blood, but the blood seeped into the soil, and did not flow to the drunk.
The ice dragon's head leaned in and sniffed at me, and then spewed at me, and a thin layer of frost suddenly grew on my face, freezing the blood flowing from my body.
The ice dragon looked at me left and right with a pair of big eyes, the eyes were huge and black like beans, the long eyelashes flickered, and the eyes revealed mild doubts, I couldn't help but reach out and touch the forehead of the ice dragon, the hand was immediately cold as a pestle, frozen, the ice dragon quickly retreated to the distance to observe me, I only then saw that it was a white dragon like snow, with two transparent horns on its head, and the claws of its limbs and feet were also transparent, and after looking at me for a while, the ice dragon swept over a pile of drunken piles in front of me with its tail and flew into the air and disappeared into the ice blade snowflakes.
Liuyue came over and lifted me up from the ground, the wounds on my body have healed, I will be drunk and released into the bag of Liuyue, the bag of Liuyue is really magical, no matter how many things are contained, they are as big as a slap.
"Liuyue, what kind of treasure is your bag? It can hold so many things and it is so small. I took the bag and looked at it in the palm of my hand.
"This is the Qiankun bag that my father gave me, this is an ordinary and necessary thing in the immortal family, if you like me, I will give it to you in the future. Liuyue put away the tips: "Go and meet the land of Xishan, if it weren't for the rescue of the land, you and I would have become ice sculptures." ”
"Meet the father-in-law of the land, thank the father-in-law of the land for the rescue. I bowed to the end.
"Hehe, the girl is very polite. The land smiled and twisted his beard.
I looked at this kind old man, and I was very happy, and I couldn't help touching the long white beard that was mopping the ground.
The land smiled and didn't think I made a mistake.
"You dare to come and pick this drunk, it's really bold enough, no one has dared to set foot in this forbidden land for many years." The land touched his beard and said to us.
"Oh, hasn't anyone ever been here looking for a drunken getaway?" I wondered.
"Hehe, two thousand years ago, there was a girl who picked this drunken leisure, it was a Nine Heavens Xuanhu above the Nine Heavens, at that time, this ice dragon grew up under the bitter cold of hell, and its temperament was extremely fierce, and it was evil everywhere, making the entire Xiyun Mountain snow-capped all year round, like an ice city, and the living trees, flowers and plants were frozen to death, and there was no one to live. One day, the Queen Mother of Naxi had a small illness and wanted to get drunk and make pills, so she sent the Nine Heavens Xuanhu to get drunk and happy, and this Xuanhu worked hard to subdue the ice dragon and did not hurt its life. When he was about to leave after getting drunk, who knew that the ice dragon was chasing after Xuanhu reluctantly, so Xuanhu accepted the ice dragon as a mount, and arrived at the Heavenly Palace, the ice dragon's stubborn temperament did not change, one day secretly drank the queen mother's birthday wine, drunk and drunk into the banquet to disrupt the queen mother's birthday banquet, accidentally injured the dancing Xian'e, the queen mother did not allow the ice dragon to make a mistake to punish the ice dragon, take it dragon ball, tie it to the dragon pillar to roast it with divine fire and die, Xuanhu was reluctant, in order to save the ice dragon, on the dragon pillar actually snatched the ice dragon, fled to Xiyun Mountain, at that time Xishan was a barren, Xuanhu threw blood with divine power to divide Xiyun Mountain into four mountains: spring, summer wind, autumn love, and winter melting, placed the ice dragon in the mountain of Dongrong, led away the chasing heavenly soldiers, and disappeared again. ”
"And where did she go?" I asked the land.
"I heard that after Xuanhu released the ice dragon privately, he hid in a wild place, and then married a scholar in the world for a hundred years, was pregnant, and was known by the queen mother, so he sent the heavenly generals to hunt her down, and then the matter is unknown. The land replied.
"Oh, then I'm also a little fox, so the ice dragon didn't hurt me when he saw me coming to get drunk, right?"
"The girl looks a little like the Nine Heavens Xuanhu, maybe it was a coincidence, so this ice dragon didn't hurt you." The land nodded and stroked his beard.
The night has passed, the sky is slightly bright, and Liuyue and I bid farewell to the land and return to the Changsheng Library.
