Chapter 30 Meet again under the moon
On the mountain road, there is a wandering Taoist walking slowly. From time to time, he looked up at the end of the winding mountain road and occasionally whispered.
When he saw the endless peach blossom forest halfway up the mountain from afar, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes and knew that he had finally arrived at his destination.
"The front is the famous Qiantao Forest! Sure enough, the demon atmosphere is strong. Fuchen shook, and the Jiudeng Taoist raised a proud smile, "Today, I want to appreciate the power of this Qiantaolin."
Just as he was about to step into the edge of the peach forest, the space where the whole peach forest was located seemed to have changed, and an invisible ripples rippled.
Jiudeng Taoist said "huh" and hurriedly dodged on a shirt, held his breath, and stared at the changes in the peach forest.
A green figure came from the gorgeous peach blossom forest all over the mountains. Xuanyuan Bi held the sword Ling Yun and slowly walked out of the Qiantao Forest.
Standing still in Lin Yuan, Xuan Yuanbi turned around and looked in the direction of Yunyuan again. No matter how light her words are, after all, it is the place where she grew up. Now she is leaving like this, and she is very reluctant to leave.
"Big sister, really, at least I'll stay for one more night!" Complaining, Xuanyuanbi turned around and continued to walk down the mountain.
"How did this little monster leave Qiantaolin at this time?" Jiudeng Taoist was full of questions, but he didn't want to frighten the snake in front of the monster's house, so he stayed on the tree until Xuanyuanbi was far away, and then he jumped off the tree.
Before he had time to act, Qian Taolin fluctuated again, and then the twins rushed out side by side.
"It's all because you're too slow. Now the little sister doesn't know where you're going." Xia Yongshang complained.
"I don't know who said he was going to change his clothes?" Sima Shang fought back mercilessly.
The two of them quarreled and ran forward quickly, chasing in the direction of Xuanyuanbi going down the mountain.
After a long time, after finally making sure that no one would rush out of the forest, Jiudeng Taoist slowly jumped down from the tree, touched his chin, and smiled, "What a help to me! Three of them ran out at once, and there won't be too much left. Now I must catch you all!"
After spending a long time in a small village at the foot of the mountain, Xuanyuanbi looked at the gradually slanting sun and began to think about finding a place to spend the night. Because the senior sister told her that she could no longer go to Zhou's house, she looked around at a loss and didn't know what to do all of a sudden.
A group of gorgeously dressed girls passed in front of her in twos and threes, all with excited smiles. As they walked, they talked, saying that there was a flower boat to visit the lake on Taihu Lake tonight, and everyone was going to see the fun.
There is a lively scene to watch, and Xuanyuan's heartstrings move. She has always liked the lively customs of the world the most, so she followed the crowd and walked over step by step.
Taihu Lake, Yangliu Embankment, Yingyue Bridge Head, Zhou Chongxiao is accompanying his cousin Li Hanyu to enjoy the flower boat.
Since the last time Li Hanyu picked him up at the gate, Mrs. Zhou's attitude towards Han Yu has obviously leaned a lot in the direction of her daughter-in-law, often asking Zhou Chongxiao to walk around with her cousin.
Nowadays, almost all people in Wanyang City have believed that Miss Li is the future young lady of Zhoufu. This cognition has broken the beautiful dreams of many girls, and also made many people who want to marry Zhou Fu have the idea of retreating.
However, compared with everyone's attention and guessing, Zhou Chongxiao, as the protagonist of the topic, has a belief in his heart and is getting stronger and firmer day by day. On that day, Xuanyuanbi's helplessness and Shuilian's questioning had been alternating in front of his eyes. He knew that he could no longer pretend to be as if nothing had happened before.
"I want to be born and practice. I need the strength to protect the people I want to protect. This idea has taken root in his heart and is slowly growing until one day it will blossom and bear fruit, which will bring earth-shaking changes to his fate.
"Cousin, look at that flower boat is so beautiful!" Under the reflection of all kinds of lights, Li Hanyu's exquisite face also became colorful. She smiled happily. As long as the little wish of her cousin's company was fulfilled, she would be very satisfied.
Shui Lian, who followed the two people, never said a word. However, his handsome face, noble manners and the faint indifference all over his body have also captured the hearts of many girls.
The night is getting darker, and the lake tour has also begun to enter the most lively part. Two rows of red lanterns suddenly lit up from the distant lake. Under the guidance of the lanterns, a huge flower boat entered the eyes of everyone.
Compared with this flower boat that just appeared, the flower boats that showed their style all over the lake just now were as if the stars had met the bright moon, which was gloomy.
"That's the boat of Jingwang Mansion. I didn't expect that Jingwang Mansion was also involved in this year's flower boat tour of the lake." A well-informed person in the crowd immediately stood up.
As soon as they heard that it was a flower boat in the royal palace, everyone said "Oh" and understood why the boat could have such momentum.
At the bow of the flower boat, a young man in blue sat in the middle, holding two beautiful women on the left and right. A sharp-eyed man on the shore saw it and envied the good fortune of the young man in blue. But the teenager who hugged left and right did not look happy. He just glanced at the crowded crowd with interest and closed his eyes again.
Finally, he squeezed from the crowd to Xuanyuanbi on the shore and fell in love with the big ship of Jingwang Mansion at a glance. Her little mouth was round, and her eyes were wide open, so she almost didn't dance to express her excitement.
"What a beautiful boat!" She shouted.
"Of course. That's the ship of Jingwang Mansion!" An elder sister next to her kindly explained to her.
"Is Jingwang Mansion very powerful?" Xuanyuan asked.
"Girl, King Jing is the most favored brother of the emperor today. Of course, he is very powerful." The eldest sister continues to be kind.
"So that's it!" Xuanyuan Bi nodded with a look of admiration.
When the eldest sister saw that she understood, she stopped talking and turned to look for her sister.
On the shore of Taihu Lake, tens of thousands of heads are moving. This annual lake event attracts people from all over the world. In addition to ordinary people, there are also chambers of commerce that take this opportunity to open their business. All kinds of stalls are set up far away along the willow embankment. Poets also gather here to hold poetry or receptions. Many literati are also elegant, and from time to time there will be the sound of poetry and applause.
Many young men and women take advantage of this rare public appearance to come to get to know each other, and also take this opportunity to achieve a good relationship. Naturally, there are many matchmakers going back and forth.
"Cousin, the handkerchiefs sold over there seem to be very good. Can we go and have a look?" Li Hanyu looked up at Zhou Chongxiao's face.
Zhou Chongxiao looked at Shuilian.
"Go ahead. I'll stay here for a while." Leaning against the railing and standing in the wind, Shuilian greedily breathed the abundant water aura of Taihu Lake, so he didn't want to follow him to squeeze into the dirty crowd.
"In that case, let's go shopping." Although Zhou Chongxiao himself felt unconsciously rejecting the crowd, he was not the kind of person who would go shopping with the woman alone.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the crowd not far in front of them. Zhou Chongxiao led Li Hanyu to the hawker's place and didn't notice what had happened.
Shui Lian leaned against the railing. First, he saw a small figure sneaking into the cold lake, and then people's comments got into his ears with the evening wind.
"Oh, my God! A girl has dived!"
"Come on! Someone fell into the water.
Looking at the panic of the people on the shore, several enthusiastic people jumped down, but they couldn't find the figure who had jumped down before.
Shui Lian sighed helplessly, moved his limbs and said, "It's really troublesome. Just do a good job on the same day!" After saying that, he jumped into the water.
As soon as Shui Lian entered the water, the whole Taihu Lake was clearly displayed in his mind. I felt that not far away, there was a small figure swimming quickly to the big ship of Jingwang Mansion. The water piti pedaled the water and swam to the figure like an arrow of a string.
Xuanyuanbi looked curiously at the big guy in front of her. She felt that it was not enjoyable to watch from afar, so she desperately ran to the bottom of the boat to get ready to see enough. However, she ignored one thing that a monster should not forget.
The flower boat of Jingwang Mansion is a royal thing. In order to protect the royal family, the ship is naturally equipped with a lot of magic arrays, among which there are special ones to deal with monsters.
Xuanyuanbi stretched out his hand to touch the huge flower boat. He touched the array in an instant. He was immediately injured by the power of the array and almost fell into a coma.
The formation of the hull was touched, and others were unaware of it. But the young man in blue obviously felt the sudden vibration of the hull, and then a golden halo flashed by.
"It's really interesting." He narrowed his eyes. I didn't expect that there would be monsters who were stupid enough to touch the royal ship. If it wasn't too stupid, it would be very confident in themselves.
"Your Highness, what's interesting?" The stunning beauty beside her opened her mouth gently, and her breath was like an orchid.
"Nothing, it's just a naughty little fish." After drinking the wine poured by the beauty, the teenager closed his eyes again.
When Shui Lian swam under the boat, what she saw was the moment when Xuanyuanbi was hit by the magic array. He hurriedly pulled Xuan Yuanbi open the range of the magic array, turned around, and swam out quickly three feet away before he dared to look down at Xuan Yuanbi's state.
Fortunately, this attack is not fatal. Perhaps it is because Xuanyuanbi's action of touching the hull is too small, or Xuanyuanbi's own demonic spirit is not obvious. In short, one of her small lives is saved.
But he didn't know whether the attack of the hull array would chase them, so he didn't dare to go back and continue to swim to the shore.
When Zhou Chongxiao returned to the shore with Li Hanyu, it was the time for Shuilian to climb out of the water with Xuanyuanbi in his arms. Seeing the really cute face that day, Zhou Chongxiao was stunned. He never thought that there would be a day to see the beauty again in this life.
