When Lingyi reluctantly returned to the Sidu Dragon Palace in the depths of Poyang Lake, his heart was still worried about the moonlight and clear wind in the southern town last night.

was reminiscing about the bits and pieces of the past two days, and heard the call of his mother, Dongting Dragon Concubine.

When she arrived at the Fengzao Palace where her mother lived, Lingyi greeted her mother according to the etiquette. Seeing her dignified and elegant posture, Dongting Longjun's beloved concubine was greatly surprised. She, a good daughter who has always been close to her, used to see herself often come over to be coquettish, why didn't she see her for two or three days, and the little girl Lingyi became a stable girl?

"Yes, it must be Ling'er that she has a sweetheart. ”

"I think at the beginning, after I met her father for the first time, why wasn't it the same as her now?"

Concubine Long remembered that the maid had come to report these days, saying that the princess had recently become obsessed with female red knitting, and now when she saw her beloved daughter again, she was even more sure of her thoughts.

Pursing her lips and smiling, the beautiful Xiangshui goddess started a routine with Lingyi and asked her about her trip to the South China Sea God Banquet. Naturally, eight out of ten sentences of these words are knocking on the side to understand her daughter's opinion of Meng Zhang, the marquis of the South China Sea. It's just that the mother, who is only thinking about hiding her true purpose, didn't notice her daughter's answer, and was just perfunctory with her.

The two mothers and daughters chatted for a while, and finally Dongting Dragon Concubine felt that she had got the answer she wanted, so she took Lingyi's words and said: "Yes, Meng Zhang's child, he is a disciple of the Thunder God, and he naturally has great powers. Over the years, I have heard that he commanded the fierce generals of the dragon clan and fought against the ghosts in the South China Sea, so that the candle ghosts could not escape, and the wisdom must have been successful. ”

"According to me, you, Brother Meng, are really a rare hero among the younger generation of the Dragon Clan, you might as well get closer to Ling'er in the future. ”

Hearing her mother say this, Lingyi was a little absent-minded. Seeing her indifferent, Concubine Long thought that her daughter was thin-skinned, and she was embarrassed to show too much affection to her sweetheart in front of her mother. Compared with her admiration for Dongting Jun back then, Concubine Long became more and more sure of what she thought in her heart. Coming to the desired conclusion, this Xiangshui goddess, like all mothers in the world, showed a happy smile: "Alas, my daughter has also grown up." Now like this, it's really like I was back then......"

In addition to happiness, seeing that the children have finally grown up, there is also a faint melancholy in my heart.

Seeing Ling Yi'er make a flat demeanor, she felt that it was not appropriate for her mother to talk about it further, if she accidentally revealed her heart, and became angry and played with a petty temperament, I am afraid it would backfire. Thinking like this, Concubine Long, who was worried about her daughter's lifelong affairs, had no choice but to put her mind down for the time being, pretending to be nothing, and chatting about other things casually.

After a while, Concubine Long got up and went to the jade box of the treasure case, took out a beautifully framed scroll, and said with a smile while unfolding it: "Ling'er, come and see, when you are not here these days, you have found a painting for your mother, and you can help your mother evaluate it." ”

Hearing this, Lingyi looked towards the painting and saw that it was a "woodcutter climbing in the rain", in which the woodcutter, carrying an axe on his back, leaned up, climbed up the strange rocky hillside in a bleak wind and rain. This painting depicts a distant vista in which a high mountain rises majestically, but the woodcutter at the bottom of the mountain has distinct eyebrows, which is obviously not the work of a mortal.

However, Concubine Long took out this painting, but she was not a test of her daughter's painter. I showed her this picture just to tell her about an interesting thing I had heard recently. However, looking at this painting, Ling Yi'er was full of imagination: "This stone mountain, with its abrupt appearance, really looks like the horseshoe mountain of the awakening family......"

When I was thinking about it, I heard my mother say with interest: "Ling'er, do you know that my mother heard an interesting story recently. ”

"Oh, what's the fun?"

"Well, before you talk about this, you tell your mother how long it will take for this woodcutter to climb from here to here?"

While speaking, Concubine Long gestured to the top of the mountain at the foot of the mountain with her hand, and asked Lingyi how much time it would take for the woodcutter to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Seeing her mother solemnly ask this very common question, Ling Yi'er thought about it and replied honestly: "It may take half a day?...... No, if you don't just go to the woods on the hillside, you have to climb all the way to the top of the mountain, you might not be able to walk in a day!"

"You say the same!"

Hearing Lingyi's answer, Concubine Long said with a smile on her face: "I looked at this painting at the time, and I also answered like this. It's just that I heard those Longgong Jian'e who went out to search for treasures say that on the way back to get the treasure painting, they passed through a wild wilderness, met the local natives, and asked them to see this painting, and inadvertently asked this question, guess how they answered?"

"How do you answer?"

Looking at her mother's smile, Ling Yi'er knew that the answer must be unusual, so she asked suspiciously: "Could it be that those savage people are fast, and it is enough to walk for more than an hour?"

"Not true. ”

They replied, "It's just a blink of an eye!"

"Huh?"

Lingyi was very surprised at first glance, but after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized: "Yes, how can I forget, those natives in the marginal wilderness may have extraordinary talents, and they may be able to fly in the air!"

However, her speculation was denied by her mother. I saw Concubine Long say with a smile on her face: "Interesting is interesting here, those natives don't know how to fly into the air." They answer this only because they are ignorant and uncivilized. They had never seen a picture before, and this was the first time they saw this mountaineering map, but they couldn't imagine that it was a tall stone mountain. All they know is that from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it is only a step at most!"

"Think like this, and naturally it's here in the blink of an eye!"

"Ah~ That's it!"

The first time she heard about this, Lingyi'er thought about it and thought it was very novel and interesting. Seeing her daughter's abrupt appearance, Concubine Long's head turned slightly sideways, and after thinking about it, she said casually: "Actually, this principle is applicable many times. ”

"Just like those mortals who have only lived a few decades, just like these natives who have never seen pictures, how can we imagine the life of our gods and men?"

"Ling'er, if you choose a husband in the future, in fact, no matter whether he has great powers or not, at least he must have an eternal life. Otherwise, it's like the winter snow that can't be talked to Xia Die, I'm afraid you are still young and have to be widowed. ”

"Anyway, no matter what, I'm a mother, I won't let you suffer like this...... Huh?"

The concubine of the Dragon Palace, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but say a few more words, but unexpectedly, as she spoke, she suddenly saw her daughter, who was originally smiling, suddenly her face turned pale, and her body was fluttering and swaying, as if she was about to fall.

Seeing this, Concubine Long couldn't help but feel very distressed, and secretly blamed herself for thinking about her daughter, Lingyi just came back and called over to ask this and that. Needless to say, the South China Sea is turbulent and the waves are high, and my baby daughter must be tired of traveling, and she hasn't rested much just after she came back, of course she will be dizzy.

While secretly blaming herself in her heart, Concubine Long hurriedly stepped forward to support her daughter, wanting to personally help her to rest on her coral jade couch. Seeing her coming, Lingyi just gently pushed it away, saying that she was fine, but she felt a little tired, and wanted to retire first and go back to her room to rest.

Seeing her daughter like this, Concubine Long couldn't do it, so she had to call the Banshee Ji and drive her dragon car to send the princess back to the Lingzhu Palace where she lived.

Almost a moment after Lingyi got into the chariot and left, Concubine Long heard the report from her attendants: "Concubine Long, Nanhai Water Marquis Mengzhang, sent someone to send 100 horses of high-grade cicada winged dragon yarn, saying that it is to thank Princess Sidu for being able to move the jade toe this time!"

Omit the sorrows and joys in the Four Sorrows Dragon Palace, and then talk about the Panlong Town, since returning from the South China Sea, after spending the Mid-Autumn Festival and moonlit night, Xingyan is not in a hurry to take Qiong Wei Xueyi to leave the town.

I don't know if they suddenly discovered the warmth of life in this small courtyard, or the faint fragrance of the faint fragrance in the back room where the Yiren went, they still spent this day in Panlong Town.

When the sun was shining in the morning, with two simple-hearted girls, Xingyan shuttled through the bustling crowd of the town. Now the market is at its most lively, and the ears are full of enthusiastic shouts from vendors, and there are constant collisions of pedestrians. In the noisy air, the smell of fried snacks wafts from time to time. Walking to the cattle and horse market, the smell of street food will be mixed with the smell of mules and horses. Walking on such an ordinary street, Xingyan suddenly felt that he still preferred such a noisy and lively street market to the Xianjia Palace banquet in the undersea Dragon Palace the day before yesterday. Wandering in the four streets and eight alleys, no one comes to restrain you, and stepping on solid ground, although it is a little less elegant in the underwater dragon palace, it makes people feel more reliable and real.

Somehow, walking in the street market in the past was as natural as a fish entering water, but today, I have so many sighs in my heart.

And beside him, Xu hadn't seen each other for two days, and the little girl who used to fly around like a bird, but today she held her brother's arm tightly, as if she wanted to make up for the intimacy of her brother's absence in the past two days. Her sister Xueyi, carrying a green bamboo basket in the crook of her arm, walked slowly behind the two. If Qiong Wei bought something, she handed the basket and asked them to put it in the green bamboo basket.

This Meixue fairy, who was born in the Dongtian Ice Cliff, pressed her skirt lightly with one hand and carried a basket with the other, slightly shyly dodging the passers-by beside her, just like a newly married little daughter-in-law, how could she still have the appearance of being a little arrogant and like ice at the beginning.

It's just that such a shy and pretty woman who looks delicate and delicate, if she occasionally gets close to the disciple and wants to do something wrong, before she can implement it, she will suddenly feel a cold light flash in front of her, and then the whole person will be in a trance, like a nightmare. By the time he came to his senses, he had already been taken out of several streets by the crowd.

The day passed like this. When the bright moon was in the sky, Xingyan also watched Qiong Wei finish the last plate of snacks, and then slowly went back to the inn together.

The night in the town was calm and peaceful, and most of the people had gone back to their homes. Walking through the empty streets, the moonlight like water filled their sleeves and shoulders.

Back in the guest room of the inn, after taking a bath, she only memorized the scriptures casually for a while, and Xiao Qiongwei was already sleepy-eyed, and was led back to her room by her sister Xue Yi in a daze. When Xue Yi gently covered the door from the outside, he also took off his green shirt and robe, and lay down on the bamboo couch and fell asleep.

On the night of August 16, the moon was full. In the dark blue velvet sky, there is hardly a single starlight visible. Under the clear moonlight, the few locks of clouds that occasionally drifted in the sky were as faint as light smoke. The pure moonlight shines obliquely through the wooden windows, painting everything with a soft pale white glow. Whether it is a rattan chair and bamboo utensils, or a sleeping teenager, they are all immersed in the moonlight under the water, and the shadows are full of shadows, as if they will turn into a faint wisp of light smoke in the next moment and fly to another world.

The young man sleeping on the bamboo couch still had a happy smile on his face. I don't know if it's because these two days have been flying across the sea with Yiren and swimming hand in hand, making his dreams sweet and peaceful. Perhaps, if there is a night elf flying by, you can see that the sleeping young man on this side, the body and hands and feet on the bed are arranged in the shape of a bucket, just like the formation of Tiangang Beidou.

The cool breeze at night, with the occasional barking of dogs in the distance, is still pouring into the house. With a bright moon in half a window and a fresh breeze in the house, the autumn night in the south of the country this night seems to be no different from the past. It's just that when the moon sets and the breeze falls to the ground, it seems that someone accidentally touched a distant mechanism, and at a certain moment suddenly broke through the long-buried mystery, so the deep and distant dark night suddenly became a bright world.

An instant later, in the ordinary inn of this southern town, seven huge clusters of light flew up all around a certain guest room. These seven clusters of dazzling light flew from nowhere, regardless of the structure of the house where they were located, and each of them hovered quietly in mid-air according to some mysterious agreement. And the chairs, stools, rattans, beams and walls, or the trees planted in the courtyard are all immersed in these seven clusters of bright light.

In response to the seven extraordinary lights and shadows on the ground, on the huge sky in the northwest of the sky, the Big Dipper, which was originally hidden by the bright moon, suddenly shined together, radiating dazzling brilliance to the vast earth!

At this moment, everything was still, only a body quietly floated......
