Aggrieved Fish Sprite

On the tenth day of February, in the evening.

Clouds and mists rose suddenly and slowly spread from the southwest corner of Shangyun Mountain in Taijing. It took only half a stick of incense to cover the two peaks.Many restaurants in the city happened to be able to see this spectacle, and people flocked to the windows to overlook the mountains.

I saw that the clouds are extremely light, and the mist is like gauze, fluttering, like the auspicious air born under the claws of a giant dragon, reflecting the orange-red sunset, as if the fairyland Yaochi suddenly fell to the mortal world, giving rise to infinite reverie.

Just when the birds come back to their nests at night, countless sparrow warblers in the sky can be seen flying into the forest, throwing themselves under the clouds and mists, adding a bit of magic to the scenic spot.

The crowd was amazed.

Some people rushed down the pavilion, eagerly looking for an open place to watch the scenery.

As a result, the place was not found, but it was found that some people had already climbed onto the roof.

The cloud and mist stayed for about a quarter of an hour. At this time, half of the [-]th peak of Shangyun Mountain was engulfed by the mist, leaving only the slender "dragon tail" and the towering "dragon head".It should be like a dragon walking in the sky, able to hide and appear, but unable to see the whole picture.

The light of the sky gradually disappeared, leaving only a ray of glow.

The clouds and mist also seemed to sink into the mountains and forests, and slowly disappeared.

Candlelights and lanterns were lit up one after another in the streets of the capital, and people reminisced about the wonders they had just seen, and chatted excitedly with others.

Taijing has many visions since ancient times.

However, over the past decade or so, the well-known auspicious spectacle has been decreasing day by day. The old people are still talking about it, but the younger generation doesn't believe it at all.

Such auspicious omens as Jiahe Bailu appear every year, but after hearing too much, doubts arose in my heart.If it was the destiny of the Qi Dynasty to replace Chu, why did Yongzhou have a three-year drought and a locust plague?Why can't the south be pacified for a long time?

Lu Zhang usurped the throne and seized power to establish a new dynasty. On the day of rebellion, countless people in Taijing were killed and injured.The support of the people was not something that the Qi Dynasty could easily get away with by saying a few words about accepting the destiny to change the dynasty and avenging the three lords and nine lords who died in vain. It can only deceive those who have not experienced any pain and have only moved to Taijing in the past ten years.

The people want to live a stable and happy life. As long as they can survive, they will swallow their complaints and pains, and obey the new dynasty and the new master of the world.

I would rather be a peace dog than a troubled person.

Being in Taijing is much better than people in many places in the world.

In the past 16 years, the capital has gradually recovered, but it is still far behind the Chu Dynasty.

Some places can barely see the bustling epitome of the past.For example, there are restaurants built in every workshop, and Goulan cottages.

The so-called Goulan, as the name suggests, is a winding railing, a stage and a shed.

There are more than a dozen hook rails in the big tile house, and you can enter the shed if you pay.

There are not only singers, but also juggling, storytelling, shadow puppetry, puppet show, ventriloquist, beating flower drums, etc., plus dancers from all over the world, and various troupes.There is no door in the washer, so it can basically attract customers at twelve hours a day all year round.

In terms of the layout of Taijing, the workshops are separated by high walls, and the curfew is only enforced outside the workshops. When the time comes, the gates will be locked.People can still go to the restaurants and teahouses in the square, and go to the Washe Goulan to have fun.

Now except for the North City where the rich and powerful lived and the East City where the rich lived, the rest houses in other places were in decline, and only one or two singing and juggling troupes appeared occasionally.

The cottages were empty, and some sheds were used by the nearby people as storage places for sundries, and they were piled up in a mess, all of which were unnecessary things that were not afraid of stealing but felt a pity to throw them away.

There are broken pots and rotten wood, as well as broken stone pounders and rice pounders.

Some Jianghu people who had sneaked into the capital beforehand hid here.

"...I heard that the inn was searched yesterday."

"Don't talk about it, when I went out to buy meat and wine today, I met the guards. I saw those who didn't speak the accent of the capital, so I went up and asked for a guide to check. If I didn't bring it with me, I followed it to the inn! Fortunately, I This official speech is forced, calm and unruffled, and no flaws have been spotted."

The Jianghu person who spoke was in his forties, with a circle of stubble on his face. He continued a little irritably, "The capital is so big, I don't know if the elders of the big sect have arrived and where they live. I said, it's better to go to the mountains to find out the truth!"

"Are you crazy? Here is shelter from the wind and rain. There is wine and meat. What is there in the mountains?"

"That's right, there are so many people rushing for the treasure now, we brothers have to act more cautiously, and continue to guard near Lincheng Gate tomorrow..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a person running in and shouted in a panic: "Something happened! Something happened on Shangyun Mountain!"

Surprised, these Jiang Hu people quickly stood up and asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you near Lincheng Gate?"

They took turns watching to determine the whereabouts of the elders of the big sects. Outside Lincheng's gate was Jiaoliu Road, and Qingjiang was at the end of that road. They reckoned that most of the Jianghu people would come from that road.

Looking at the sky now, it's time to close the city gates.

"What did you just say? Something happened to Shangyun Mountain?"

The man panted and replied: "That's right, I don't know why, a lot of clouds and mists suddenly appeared in the mountains, like a dragon king's apparition, and you didn't hear anything about the disturbance outside?"

"..."

Few people in the Jianghu believe in ghosts and gods, let alone dragon kings. Naturally, they don't only think of good omens like others.

"Could it be that the treasure of the Emperor's Mausoleum has been opened?"

Emperor Chen Li devoted all his power to build the mausoleum. In order to prevent the tomb from being destroyed in the future, he added many institutions inside.Who knows if this is the steam or poisonous smoke that came out after the organ was turned on.

They hurriedly stepped out of the shed and slipped out of the washer to check the situation.

However, the sun had already set and the sky was dark, making it difficult to see clearly the situation on the other side of Shangyun Mountain.

On the contrary, the people on the street were very excited, talking loudly about the strange phenomenon they had just seen, and a few Jianghu people couldn't help but stop and listen.

When they figured out what happened, the door of the workshop was closed, and they couldn't get out, so they could only stay here.While anxiously looking for the figure of fellow Jianghu in the crowd, he wondered what was going on in his heart.

"Nothing happened near the city gate today, right?"

"...There was one who took a fake guide, was dismantled by the city gate officer, and then ran away."

The man squatting at the gate, in order not to attract the attention of the guards, only dared to stay in the tea shop near the city gate. It was already the closest shop to the city gate, but there was still some distance from the city gate.

So he didn't see Meng Qi's face, couldn't hear what Meng Qi said, he could barely distinguish the cries of the city gate officer, and then judged what happened from the movement of the city guard.

Seeing the indifferent faces of his companions, the man squatting in the door couldn't help but add, "That man's qinggong is very high, I can't even see him in the blink of an eye."

"Oh?"

Only then did a few Jianghu people become a little interested, but they still didn't realize how dangerous this person was, but thought that this light-handed person was a well-known master in the Jianghu, who stumbled and was chased by the guards. Big loss of face.

"Do you know each other? If you are an acquaintance, you will laugh at me when you meet in the future. If you are an enemy..."

The crowd laughed.

Only the man who squatted in Lin Chengmen was worried and said worriedly: "I don't know the name and surname, and I can't see the face clearly, but I heard the yelling of the city gate official, it seems that he was exposed because he was too good-looking... ..."

Then I learned the few words I heard.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, desperately thinking about who in the Jianghu has an outstanding appearance and a high lightness kung fu.

To be honest, there are a lot of people who meet this standard. Those recruiting apprentices from the great sects will not look for crooked melons and dates. The young heroes from famous families also dress decently, but they are not so casual.

However, if you walk casually on Taijing Street with a white-faced boy dressed like this, you can run into four or five of them.

So this good-looking is not a polite word at all, but the real thing-it's a pity that these guys who run the rivers and lakes can't figure out what it looks like, so they are very embarrassed.

In martial arts, there are only sayings such as the number one swordsman, the number one master, and the number one beauty.

Absolutely no such nondescript comparisons as the most beautiful man and the first white-faced niche.

There are such nicknames as Jade Faced Lord and Ghost Raksha, but these two nicknames can only prove to be more handsome or uglier.Under the circumstances that most people in the bottom of the rivers and lakes are unshaven and don't pay attention to it, as long as they don't smell of alcohol, wear clean and expensive clothes, and have good facial features, there is no one who has the cheek to call himself a jade-faced gentleman. will refute.

"Could it be a master of qinggong who disguises himself as a man?"

"It's possible... Forget it, we should find out what happened to Shangyun Mountain!"

This night, undercurrents surged in Taijing.

The Jianghu people who met each other whispered and exchanged what they knew. Some of them decided to leave the city to go to Shangyun Mountain after dawn, and some insisted on waiting in the city for the abbot of Hengchang Temple or other important people from Jianghu to arrive.

At the Qintian Supervisor in the capital, the officials were overjoyed.

Before Xingbo's incident made the emperor very unhappy and angered them, now that there is auspicious omen, they don't have to live in such trepidation.

More officials hastily spread out the paper and wrote a few flattering words, congratulating the auspicious omen.

Some people think more: Xingbo collided with Ziweiyuan, this is a sign of instability in the throne!One month later, Shangyun Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mists. Whose is this auspicious omen?Qi Dynasty?Chu Dynasty?Or is it the upcoming new dynasty?

So he turned pale with fright, who at home was considered to be the one who might rebel.

At this moment, go to Dragon Claw Peak in Yunshan Mountain.

The ink carp let out a long sigh of relief as the aura dissipated.

For a while, he thought that the spiritual energy was going to carry Meng Qi away.And I don't know if it was his illusion, those auras seemed to want to wrap himself up and take him away.

When the cloud and mist disappeared, Mo Li felt that what he saw again might not be Meng Qi, but the golden dragon.

Now Meng Qi left without being wrapped in spirit energy in front of the doctor.

Nor did it turn into a dragon, or a gerbil.

"How do you feel now? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Mo Li looked at Meng Qi carefully, in fact, what he wanted to know most was whether Meng Qi had recovered his memory, whether he knew that he was a dragon.

"... full of energy." Meng Qi said helplessly, "I almost wanted to climb up to Longjiao Peak with the doctor behind my back."

That is the highest point of the [-]th Peak of Shangyun Mountain.
