Chapter 57: Haotian Tower
Every time Xuan Che heard Lu Zhuan Daojun, his heart churned. So he changed the topic and said, "Is all the affairs of this demon world taken care of by the Demon Venerable alone?"
The little monster shook his head, "The Demon Venerable used to stay in the Haotian Tower every day, with the spirit girl of the tower, and the affairs of the Demon Realm were all managed by Mr. Dai. Xuan Che nodded, and the little monster continued, "Since the spirit girl of the tower is gone, the Demon Venerable's temperament has changed greatly, and even Chief Dai is often scolded. ”
Xuan Che nodded, "Manager Dai is a mortal?"
When the little monster heard her ask, his eyes widened in surprise, and he asked, "How do you know?" Mr. Dai was indeed a mortal when he first came, but now he is a scattered immortal. Between the words, there is infinite envy.
"Immortals, demons, demons, most of them have no surnames, and a small number of them have fiefdoms, artifacts, and titles as their surnames. ”
The little monster nodded, "Also, our demon world is named after fiefdoms, I am from each county, and I am called Zhuyun." My father's name is Zhuwu, my mother's name is Zhuyu, my brother's name is Zhulong, and my sister's name is ......"
"Alright. Xuan Che interrupted him and pointed to a rather magnificent palace in front of him with his eyes, "Is there the palace of the Demon Venerable ahead?"
"Yes, it's just that the Demon Venerable doesn't live here now, he went to Haotian Tower to accompany Miss Haoling." Now in this Lanling Palace, only Mr. Dai lives alone. Zhuyun pointed to the row of people standing at the door, "Those people are here to pick you up, and the leader is Manager Dai." It's been a long time since the Lanling Palace of the Demon Venerable has had a guest, so they must be very excited.
Xuan Che asked, "What is the name of Chief Dai?"
"This Dai manager is called Dai Xiaoxiao, listening to the people in the palace, it seems that it is a male pet on the mansion of a certain Marquis Dai in the mortal world, it is said that the marquis arranged all the male pets in a place called Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and among the male pets, he is the most favored, and later the marquis gave him the surname Dai, and named him the head of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so this Dai chief steward, so it spread. Later, he came to the Demon Realm, and the Demon Venerable also called him Manager Dai, so everyone called him that. ”
Xuan Che nodded, and didn't continue to ask, she wasn't interested in other people's private affairs, she asked these just to understand the general situation, and she didn't mean anything else. But Zhuyun still chattered and said, "When this Mr. Dai fled into the demon world more than a thousand years ago, he was still a handsome boy with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and it is said that it was because he killed someone in the mortal world, and it was the Dai Hou Ye who was killed, so he had no choice but to flee to the demon world." Later, he reached an agreement with the Demon Zun, and the Demon Zun borrowed him fifty demon soldiers, returned to the mortal realm with him, and washed the Hou Ye's Mansion in blood, full of more than 1,000 people, men, women and children, not a single one, and even killed the local officials and gentry and officials, which was really miserable. I don't know what kind of grudge this Chief Dai has with this Dai Hou Ye, and let him be such a killer. Zhuyun sighed, "He didn't know martial arts at that time, but he had to slash the enemy, and he was cut off an arm in the melee, you met him, but don't ask him how his arm was broken." ”
Xuan Che nodded, "You also went with him back then?"
Zhuyun replied: "I don't go, how can I know so clearly." ”
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the Lanling Palace, Zhuyun also stopped talking. When there were still 100 meters left at the gate of the palace, the head of Dai who had been waiting for a long time had already greeted him, and Xuan Che saw that the person, dressed in pure white clothes, looked clean and very, with beautiful and feminine facial features, pale face, slightly red lips, looking a little feminine, not very tall, slightly thin. When he saw Xuan Che, he bent down slightly and said with a smile, "Just now, the Demon Venerable sent someone to report that a distinguished guest is coming, and Xiaoxiao has been waiting here for a long time." The palace has prepared a dust washing banquet for distinguished guests, please come with me. ”
Xuan Che nodded and followed him into the brown Lanling Palace. After a short time, the group came to a large hall called Yiyuan Palace, and Manager Dai stopped, bowed down and said, "Please." ”
Xuan Che was not polite to him, and went straight into the Yiyuan Palace. The overall layout of Yiyuan Hall is consistent with the entire Lanling Palace, the walls are all brown paint, and the layout is also slightly elegant and simple, but it is full of cold colors as far as the eye can see, which makes people feel very lifeless.
All kinds of dishes have been laid out in the hall, and the left and right rows are lined up. Manager Dai walked to Xuan Che's side at this time and said, "Please also invite distinguished guests, please take a seat." "The upper seat refers to the upper right seat, and after Xuan Che takes the seat, Mr. Dai will accompany the prime minister.
Hyun Che wasn't interested in eating, but out of courtesy, he still tasted everything. Xuan Che said lightly, "Manager Dai, this dish seems to be the Huaiyang cuisine in the world." This sentence is not a question, but a statement in tone.
Manager Dai smiled lightly, and did not deny it, "The girl is really well-informed, I thought that the people from Heaven did not know the delicious food in the world, so I asked the cook to make a table of Huaiyang dishes, but I didn't expect the girl to have already eaten it." It's Xiaoxiao who is ugly. ”
Xuan Che said lightly, "It's okay, I may not have been to the world for a long time, I ate it once today, and it can be regarded as the answer to the sentence 'I see how charming the green mountains are, and I should be like this when I see the green mountains.'" ’”
Mr. Dai chuckled and continued, "Love and appearance." Slightly similar. ”
Xuan Che bowed his head and was silent, but Manager Dai took the initiative to say, "How about I give a dance to the girl." ”
Xuan Che heard him ask like this, and secretly said in his heart, I don't want to dance for me, but you want to dance yourself, but Mojo said, "So, it's really tired." ”
Mr. Dai was pleased, his face, which had always been pale, also had a little ruddy color, and he said happily, "Then it's ugly." Then clapped his hands gently, and there were a few more women in white with light postures in the hall, one holding a pipa, one holding a guqin, one erhu, and one Xiao. Silk foot wind music, such a simple musician becomes.
Mr. Dai had already stood in the center of the lobby, and at some point there was a more water sleeve on his sleeve, and his broken right arm hung down gently, while his left arm was at shoulder level, this posture seemed to be the opening ceremony of a dance music. Then, the woman holding the pipa on the side plucked the strings first, and then the music gradually sounded, and the general manager Dai in the middle also slowly raised the water sleeves, he was thin, dancing like this at the moment, it seemed even weaker, very weak, as if there was a graceful woman, a white shirt, green silk and ink dyeing, and a colorful fan elegant, like a fairy, as if coming out of a dream. Xuan Che seems to have such a scene in front of his eyes, a round of spring moon in the sky to open the palace mirror, the woman under the moon sometimes raises her wrist and lowers her eyebrows, sometimes lightly Shu Yun's hand, the fan in her hand is closed and held, like a pen walking dragon painting Danqing, jade sleeves are windy, elegant and vigorous. The sound of music is clear in the ears, the folding fan in the hand is like a wonderful pen like a silk string, turning, throwing, opening, closing, twisting, rounding, bending, flowing water like a dragon flying like a phoenix dancing. (Derived from liberal arts, slightly altered, invaded and deleted.) When the dance music was in full swing, I heard Mr. Dai singing softly, "When is the bright moon?" I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Dancing to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the world?
Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”
