The morning light is foggy, the smoke is misty, and the hazy mist is like a thin light veil covering the entire Dragon City, disappearing from time to time, and the Dragon City is suddenly like a mirage, the bottom of the fantasy fairy city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the first rays of golden sunlight pierce through the clouds like shuttles, arrows, rainbows, and the autumn breeze with a slight burst of coolness, with the wisps of light and a touch of gold, unveil the veil layer after layer of the dragon city, gradually revealing its beauty, mystery and miraculous greatness standing among the peaks and mountains. It was the miracle of the immortals, it was the handiwork of the craftsmen, and it was a miracle in the world. It is soaked with the hard work of many skilled craftsmen, and how many human flesh and bones are buried. There has been such a powerful nation rising in the Desperate Mountains, they have been born here for generations, died here, but they were wiped out overnight, the blood like red lotus stained the entire Dragon City, and the white bones filled the entire square, who will remember that the fire burned all the evils in the world, who will remember that this powerful nation has been in the vicissitudes of life, who will remember that this nation with absolute power has conquered this world. A fire, all grievances, blood and hatred will be wasted, and a fire will make this nation disappear. Countless springs, summers, autumns and winters have passed, and people have learned to forget, and deep in their hearts have long forgotten the once powerful power and wealth of this nation. In the ruins and collapse, flesh and bones of the red lotus fire, a brand new mansion - Dragon City, here again, it is like a dying phoenix, burned the last bit of strength, and then reborn in the fire, it is no longer a place of death, a place of forgetting, it has become a paradise for the caster, a paradise for the people in the rivers and lakes, a paradise for the people, a city of freedom that everyone in the world admires.

When the fog cleared and the sunlight just shrouded in Dragon City, Long Yuehua, Xie Xian'er, and Zhuo Qingqing quietly left Dragon City Mansion.

In the early morning, Longcheng is still lively, shops and iron shops have opened one after another to do business, and a new day has begun again! The vendors who shuttle through the streets and alleys along the street have also begun to sell, and all kinds of snack bars are full of large and small shops, and the greedy fairy has been eating happily, which makes Long Yuehua and the two of them very embarrassed.

Long Yuehua gently bit the soft and fragrant osmanthus cake in her hand, looking gentle and delicate, and asked quietly: "Sister Qingqing, what gift are you going to give to grandpa?"

Zhuo Qingqing gulped down the lotus seed soup, her image was not reserved at all, and she licked her lips with a big grin: "I don't know, but, I want to give jewelry and jade, it's too cheesy, not to mention that grandpa is not bad at these; it's not good to send calligraphy, painting and antiques, I'm afraid of buying fakes, too expensive and can't afford it; well, grandpa seems to like weapons the most, if you can buy a good weapon as a birthday gift, grandpa must be very happy!"

Long Yuehua nodded, and said with a smile: "Grandpa loves swords the most, you can give him a sword!"

She reached out and took out a piece of white hand from her sleeve to gently wipe the crumbs on her lips, and smiled knowingly: "Sister Xian'er's aunt is the most powerful swordsmith in the world, if you can get his craftsmanship, it is the best gift, I think grandpa must like it very much?"

Xie Xian'er held a string of sugar gourds in each hand and ate it with relish, the sweet and sour hawthorn fruit puffed her mouth round, and the sugar water overflowed, which looked extremely funny, and it was funny to see in people's hearts.

Long Yuehua said with a smile: "Xian'er, aren't you looking for your uncle, let's look for it quickly, my grandfather's birthday ceremony is about to start at noon, let's not be late!"

Xie Xian'er pouted and ate the sugar gourd quickly, and laughed with a grin: "Xian'er loves to eat the most, let the two sisters laugh, let's go!"

"Dragon Girl" and "Sister" Zhuo Bufan pulled Shen Yuan to catch up breathlessly, and when he saw Xie Lan'er with a mouth full of sugar juice, he immediately smiled.

"Big brother" Xie Xian'er's eyes lit up, and she didn't eat the sugar gourd, so she rushed forward, and wiped the sugar juice on Shen Yuan's body in a daze, which made Shen Yuan smile bitterly in his heart.

Seeing Shen Yuan, although Zhuo Qingqing felt disgusted in his heart, his face did not show it, but he just complained about Zhuo Bufan: "Xiaofan, why did you call him here, it's really disappointing!"

Zhuo Bufan snorted, but his eyes looked around and asked, "Sister, why don't you see Zhu Xiaotian and Miss Ouyang?"

Xie Xian'er's eyes bent into a crescent moon, and she scrambled to speak out first: "That fat man is a thief, it's very annoying, we quietly threw him away, Sister Ouyang wants to sleep a little longer, and doesn't want to leave the house, so there are only three of us left, it just so happens that we are too boring, you came at the right time?"

Zhuo Bufan rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said unhappily: "Follow the class, what you say in a grand way is too boring, and it is too hypocritical to ask us to accompany you!"

Xie Xian'er pouted, and shouted angrily with a sharp voice: "Since we are hypocritical, you can go......!

Zhuo Qingqing smiled and said, "Xiaofan, since Lan'er wants to buy some things, you can just take it for her, don't tremble!"

"Yes, I know!" Zhuo Bufan looked at Xie Xian'er helplessly, his teeth itched with hatred in his heart, and he muttered to himself: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise!" But he didn't dare to speak out, so as not to cause public anger and be bombed and criticized by the women's army. But Xie Lan'er proudly spat out her tongue at him, her eyes bent into a slit.

Long Yuehua opened her mouth and shouted: "Xian'er, come and take a look, there is also an iron shop here?"

Xie Xian'er rushed in with her long hair, and a white and chubby middle-aged boss came up in the iron shop, with a smile on his face, and said very affectionately: "A few young ladies and young masters, do you want to buy a sword, or do you want to buy a knife? ”

Xie Xian'er cautiously asked, "Do you know that there is a master surnamed Ye?"

"The surname Ye?" The fat boss frowned, thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Haven't you heard of it?"

Xie Xian'er shook her head in disappointment and said, "I'm sorry, thank you!" turned around and walked out with her head down.

Long Yuehua felt a little sad for her in her heart, and comforted: "Xian'er, don't be discouraged! How many are we looking for? Longcheng is big, there are at least fifty iron shops, let's look slowly, we will definitely find your aunt." ”

Zhuo Qingqing said anxiously: "Isn't it a way to find it like this? Grandpa's birthday ceremony is about to start, why don't we look for it separately?" Yuehua, how many iron shops are there on this street?"

Long Yue Hua'an suppressed the eagerness in his heart, thought for a moment, and said affirmatively: "This street includes this one with ten iron shops just now. ”

Zhuo Qingqing said with a smile: "It's better to split up, we will meet at the end of the street, so that we can find it faster." ”

Xie Xian'er said coquettishly: "Okay, that's it! Sister Qingqing, Sister Yuehua, my aunt's name is Ye Qing, and she is very famous in the casting world. She grabbed Shen Yuan's sleeves with both hands, and said excitedly: "Big brother, let's look for it together, okay?" The voice was asking, and her hand had already pulled Shen Yuan to the opposite iron shop, and Shen Yuan was helpless for a while.

At the moment, Zhuo Qingqing and Long Yuehua were in a group, and only Zhuo Bufan was left alone, and sighed: "Zhu Xiaotian, who has no righteousness, actually became a deserter, I won't help you in the future!"

Everyone searched the whole street, large and small iron shops, but still found nothing, which bosses had never heard of a blacksmith master surnamed Ye, which made everyone extremely depressed.

Long Yuehua ran profusely and sweaty, gently wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead with her hand, and said breathlessly: "Xian'er, could it be that your aunt has changed her name and surname, the huge Dragon City, if you search like this, you will undoubtedly look for a needle in a haystack." ”

Xie Xian'er hung her head helplessly, her face was depressed, her eyes lit up, and she said eagerly: "My aunt likes to play around, and he once accompanied his aunt to travel all over the mountains and rivers.

"Makes sense. Zhuo Qingqing's skills are the shallow, and he is the most tired when he walks, but at this moment he is already sitting on the stone steps of a shop and breathing, fanning the wind with a handkerchief like a lady, his face is red, and he is sweating hotly.

Long Yuehua pondered for a moment and said: "There are a few iron shops in the back street, let's take a look, these are the most famous iron shops, and the orders are endless, maybe it is Master Ye's craftsmanship." ”

"Then let's go!" Xie Xian'er jumped up impatiently, excitedly pulling Shen Yuan away, and several people hurriedly followed after him.

Walk into a beautifully decorated "iron shop", the interior is also beautifully arranged, extremely luxurious, the weapons hanging on the wall and placed in the cabinet are all of medium quality, and they are really different.

Xie Xian'er smiled happily at the goatee old man, and said delicately: "Old man, may I ask if your master's surname is Ye or Tie or Xie?"

The old man of the goat said with a straight face and expressionlessness: "Do you know the name of our master?" Go, go, talk to me when you come to do business, go out if you don't do business, don't make trouble here?"

Shen Yuan hurriedly pulled Xie Xian'er out, Xian'er snorted coldly, stomped her feet, and muttered: "What kind of attitude? With a coffin face, you still want to do business? Curse you for having no business today, no, you will have no business in the future, and you will lose all your money." ”

Shen Yuan shook his head amusedly, Xie Xian'er had already entered the second "iron shop", but at this time, he was taken aback, and couldn't help but rush up. I saw that Zhuo Qingqing was being pulled by a man, the man was burly, although his appearance was not handsome and white, but he was also thick eyebrows and big eyes, honest and honest, not like a frivolous person, at this time he was looking at Zhuo Qingqing with a smile, his face was flushed, and his expression was extremely excited and nervous.

Xie Xian'er ran over indiscriminately without asking, and said coquettishly: "Who are you?

The man was so frightened that he hurriedly let go of his hand, his face turned red, and he was at a loss to restrain himself, and he was speechless for a while.

Zhuo Qingqing looked at the man in surprise, and said with a smile: "Xian'er, you misunderstood, he is my senior brother Pang Qun, my father's only disciple, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and when he suddenly saw me, he was inevitably a little excited." ”

Pang Qun scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, his face showed excitement, and his voice was a little incoherent: "Senior sister...... Hello, long time...... Long time no see!"

Zhuo Qingqing grinned at him, Pang Qun was suddenly stupid, and his face turned even redder!

Xie Xian'er laughed: "Sister Qingqing, your senior brother is so cute! It looks stupid and stupid, it's so funny!"

Zhuo Qingqing smiled and said: "Xian'er, my senior brother is very good, but his personality is a little wooden, and he is not good at words, especially in the face of girls, you can't let go of it, don't you take it to heart?"

Xie Xian'er said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Xie Xian'er. Chattered...... You're so fun, your eyes have been looking at Sister Qingqing, stupid, hey, Sister Qingqing has no flowers on her face, what are you looking at?"

"I ......" Pang Qun lowered his head in embarrassment and smiled innocently.

Shen Yuan saw it in his eyes, but cheered for Pang Qun in his heart, maybe Zhuo Qingqing would marry Pang Qun after an emotional ordeal and setback, this person is the one who loves her the most, and will always accompany her to old age.

"Senior brother. When Zhuo Bufan saw Pang Qun, he couldn't help but rush over, hugged Pang Qun's elbow like a child, and shook vigorously: "I'm Xiaofan, you don't know me?"

Pang Qun suddenly realized, a smile suddenly bloomed on his face, and he said honestly: "It's Xiaofan who is back, he has grown so tall, he looks so handsome, and he is better than his senior brother!"

Zhuo Qingqing smiled and said: "My father's health is much better, especially after Xiaofan came back, his mood has become better and better, and he has been thinking about you recently, senior brother?"

Zhuo Bufan also smiled: "Senior brother should go back to the capital to see my father, but my father has always treated you as his half son, shouldn't you leave his side?"

Pang Qun's expression trembled, and the tiger's eyes were full of tears, and he felt guilty. When he looked around, he saw Shen Yuan, who was sick, but when he realized that it was not Liu Chengfeng, he couldn't help but ask strangely: "What about Liu Chengfeng, why didn't he accompany you? Are you already married? Have you a child too?"

Zhuo Qingqing's face changed, his eyes lowered unnaturally, and his voice was slightly sad: "Senior brother, don't you mention him?"

"What's wrong?" Pang Qun looked at Zhuo Bufan with an inquiring eye, Zhuo Bufan pursed his lips and sighed: "Don't mention it, Liu Chengfeng and his sister's marriage is already yellow, and they are not together anymore?"

"This bastard, how can he treat Qingqing like this, it's too much!" Pang Qun suddenly jumped like thunder, glared angrily, and gritted his teeth and said, "Qingqing, where is he, I'll help you beat him?"

Zhuo Bufan looked at him with a sneer, and said disdainfully: "Are you his opponent?"

Pang Qun's body froze, his fists were clenched, and he said angrily: "I don't believe I can't beat him, in the past few years, in order to practice the knife, I have been fighting iron in Dragon City for five years, specializing in practicing these arms, I have practiced to the point of infinite strength, and it will be faster to swing the knife in the future! I believe that Liu Chengfeng will definitely be knocked down." ”

Zhuo Bufan snorted coldly in his heart, and muttered: "The old shell of the wooden fish is all some brute force, what's the use?

Xie Xian'er's eyes rolled, and Ge Gejiao smiled: "What a fool! Why should you be angry, you should be happy! Since Liu Chengfeng gave up Sister Qingqing, it means that you have one less competitor, isn't it?"

Pang Qun's face suddenly turned red, looking at the delicate Zhuo Qingqing, people are even more stupid!

Zhuo Qingqing's face was slightly red, she glared at Xie Lan'er, stomped her feet, turned around and ran out.

"Qingqing...... Senior sister ......" Pang Qun was worried about Zhuo Qingqing's safety, and hurriedly chased him out.

"That's pretty much it, the head has finally opened up?" Xie Xian'er muttered, extremely proud, "This stupid big brother is really cute, straightforward and straightforward, and there is no flowery intestines in his heart; ”

"Boring! Nonsense!" Zhuo Bufan sneered on the side: "When did the fairy girl change her career to become a matchmaker? It's a pity, you guessed wrong, the senior brother and my sister are like falling flowers intentionally, the flowing water is ruthless, and it can be said that King Xiang has a dream, and the goddess has no heart." Senior brother and my sister grew up since childhood, it can be said that they are childhood sweethearts, and they have been in a relationship for 20 years, if they are really a couple, they would have a group of children a long time ago, then you can allow Liu Chengfeng to step in, you miscalculated!"

Xie Xian'er pouted and retorted: "But I think that if Sister Qingqing marries Brother Pang Qun, she must be the happiest woman in the world, just like the big brother back then, she will never give up, life and death depend on each other, so touching!"

"I feel your size!" Zhuo Bufan roared: "I don't like Pang Qun, I don't have any mood at all, like a fool, he is not handsome at all, how can my sister fall in love with him? My sister's mind I know best, his husband must be a man who stands up to the sky, or at least he is also a talent, you see Pang Qun's whole person is like a gorilla, who would like a woman? Hmph, what about me, the person I like the most is ......" His eyes glanced at Shen Yuan, but Shen Yuan turned his head and walked out.

Xie Xian'er was extremely unhappy with a straight face, she always thought that she didn't look away, Pang Qun is indeed a man who can be entrusted for life, although his appearance is not good, but people are thick and fine, and he is very loyal to women, why do women now like those milky sissies, like a child who will never grow up; what other sanctimonious hypocrites, although people look talented, but they have a full stomach and intestines; and some seem to be strong in martial arts, so arrogant that they look at the sky with their nostrils, and they don't look at anyone in their eyes, and a woman marrying him is simply a crime。 There are not many infatuated men like Pang Qun and Big Brother in this world, if she didn't already have a big brother in her heart, maybe she would find a man like Pang Qun to marry. Thinking of this, her eyes became extremely dazed, and her face began to feverish.

Along the way, Xie Xian'er was still unhappy, and every time she carried Zhuo Bufan, she was counted by Zhuo Bufan. A few people walked most of the Dragon City, and there was still no news of Aunt Xian'er, and there was one more person in their team - Pang Qun. His mind seemed to become bright, and he kept sticking to Zhuo Qingqing, never walking away. Zhuo Qingqing's mood began to get worse, and the troubled senior brother had been following him, and he couldn't drive away, and he couldn't scold or scold, and he didn't know what to do for a while!

It was getting close to noon, and Long Yuehua was extremely anxious in her heart, but she really wanted Xie Xian'er to find her aunt earlier, maybe she could witness the style of the peerless divine sword with her own eyes.

Xie Xian'er asked anxiously, "Sister Yuehua, how many are there?"

Long Yuehua was full of thoughts, and said after a long silence: "According to Yuehua's thoughts, since Master Ye is determined to hide from the 'Divine Sword Villa', he will definitely not show his face lightly, and he will never hide in the most famous blackshop, so it must be the most inconspicuous place?"

Zhuo Qingqing couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yuehua, where do you think it is?"

Long Yuehua's eyes lit up, and she stretched out her hand and pointed forward: "It is very likely that Master Ye is hidden in that place." ”

"What is that place?" Xie Xian'er asked eagerly.

Long Yuehua's eyes couldn't help but fall into the thoughts of the past, and said softly: "I remember that there was a large dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city, where many homeless orphans lived, and my father personally allocated some food to them every year. I remember I went there once, when I was only ten years old, I was very squeamish when I was a child, I always thought it was too dirty, too messy, crying and refusing to go? Although you were born in a wealthy family and enjoy things that others have never seen in their lives, you must understand: all this was created by your grandfather, not by yourself, if one day you don't have your grandfather, what should you do? I remember that there was a very dilapidated iron shop next to it, the shop was mottled, and the keeper was a dumb old man, but he was very nice, and he often smiled at me. Sister Lan'er, we might as well take a look at somewhere. ”

Xie Xian'er had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and Grandpa Long's words Grandpa had also mentioned to herself that she was the only child of Shenjian Villa, although she was a girl, she would one day have to take on the heavy responsibility of revitalizing "Shenjian Villa", she couldn't always do whatever she wanted, she would always be like a willful child, and she had to learn to grow up by herself! She nodded knowingly and said with a smile: "Okay! Don't hesitate to do it, let's go quickly! Don't delay Grandpa Long's birthday ceremony." ”

"Let's go!" Long Yuehua led a few people to hurriedly shuttle through the streets and alleys, rushing towards the outskirts of Dragon City.

At this moment, the weather has gradually warmed up, the wind has stopped, and there is a dull air in the air, there is a suffocating feeling, as if the sky is starting to change!
