The villains are all my ex-boyfriends [Jian San]

According to legend, every night, the top of the highest hall in Baidi City, the pearl held in the mouth of a white jade water dragon, will quietly light up.

At that time, a clear waterfall gushed out from the mouth of the white jade water dragon, volleyed across the carved beams and eaves of the main hall, and the water curtain generally blocked the majestic and mysterious main hall.

The pearl's lustrous and hazy white light sprinkles on the water surface of the waterfall, like another full moon, reflecting with the moon on the river.

The water of the falling waterfall flows into the waterways extending in all directions of Baidi City, and then into the vast and boundless Lanjiang River, just like the moonlight of the pearl coming along the river.

That is to say, the water dragon holds the moon.

Such a majestic building, even a big ship passing by from a distance, can see the water dragon and waterfall from afar.

Even the fishermen who have lived here for generations were amazed to see it, thinking that the head of the water of the Lanjiang River comes from the mouth of the white jade water dragon.

Every night, people enjoying the cool air by the river, whether they know each other or not, can chat together until midnight with a few glasses of fisherman's rice wine and two or three plates of farm side dishes.Among them, the most eye-catching one is a handsome young man covered in white gauze.

He has been in this Lanjiang restaurant for more than two months, and he is sitting at a fixed table.Every time he ordered food and wine, he didn't move at all. Instead, he invited travelers passing by around to enjoy it, and then warmly asked the other party to tell him what he had seen and heard outside.If fruit cakes are ordered, they are given to the children playing on the river bank.

Everyone who passes by here will notice him.

Not to mention the plain white dress that changes every day, it is difficult to make it without the white clouds in the sky as the background, the misty and frosty silk, the moonlight as the thread, and the white jade and silver threads in the world secretly embroidering auspicious clouds and gossip.Although they have never seen such materials, they also know that ordinary wealth and wealth are absolutely unbearable.

The most important thing is that such a demeanor is far superior to that of an immortal, even if the eyes are covered with white gauze, it is difficult to cover one or two.When he first walked through the clouds and mist on the bank of the river in the early morning, many people stood still without blinking, thinking they saw a fairy.

However, such a young master with such a clear and mysterious temperament, even if he is not a real fairy, he must be a half fairy.

He claimed to be surnamed He, and he was a practitioner, and he was indeed accompanied by a graceful and elegant crane.

The people around him called him Mr. He, and when some people tried to ask him to test the characters and divination to ask about good and bad luck, he did not refuse.I don't take a penny, and I only do three trigrams every day, but nothing is wrong.

Gradually, everyone secretly called him Immortal Crane.

On the banks of the Lanjiang River, no matter what the topic is, it will return to the mysterious Baidi City in the end.

"It's a pity that, except for the dragon singing on the cold river during the day, the night scene of the jade dragon holding the moon has been gone for a long time." A wandering painter lamented.

The girl in the restaurant smiled slightly, served the tea fruit cleverly, and said: "The moon palace is not lit, it's because the city lord is not here. Don't be in a hurry, the moon will be full in a few days, and it will be Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, Baidi The city is open, and everyone can go to the city to participate in the water dragon celebration. If you go there at that time, you will definitely be able to draw paintings that will be handed down from generation to generation."

Then the knight wearing a bamboo hat said coldly: "Little girl, this Baidi City has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, and it has attracted countless forces from land, water and green forests. It should be a major disaster for this place. Why are you so bold and reckless? How dare you take the initiative to run away?" In that city, if you participate in any water dragon ceremony, you are not afraid of never returning? Do you know how many heroes in the rivers and lakes are so worried that they have already prepared their coffins for the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days' time?"

The little girl froze for a moment, then covered her mouth with a sweet smile, giggling like a yellow warbler.

The boatmen, boatmen, and business travelers who were enjoying the coolness around them also laughed.

"What are you laughing at? The green hills on both sides of the Lanjiang River and the eight hundred miles of valleys before and after were all captured by the forces of Baidi City. But it was only three or two months. Before that, there were no less than one hundred forces. This section of the river is almost completely divided. In the past, the Long Family of Penglai Prefecture, which was engaged in the water transport business of the Sanmeng Technical College, had such power and prestige, and was backed by the government, but it took three years to fail to bring Lanjiang under its command. .I heard that the master of the Long Family was unable to rest in peace before he died."

The well-covered chivalrous man shot a chill in his eyes, looked around, and continued: "What Penglai Mansion, one of the three alliances, can't do, Baidi City can do in three months. Baidi City Just thinking about it makes people shudder. You are living under the claws of this evil dragon, and you can still laugh? You are so stupid."

Unexpectedly, there were more people laughing around, and there were many elderly people who were kind and amiable.

An old gentleman with full hair said meaningfully: "Young man, since you know that there are more than one hundred forces in this [-]-mile water area, why don't you think about it? On average, there are two forces overlapping each other. Where do powerful people come from? Who are they in normal life?"

Almost everyone smiled strangely and squinted at him, including the innocent child. Sweat was dripping from the tip of the knight's nose.

"I don't know about Penglai Long's family, I only know that strong dragons don't overwhelm snakes, especially where the ground is full of snakes."

The valiant stood up abruptly, looking suspiciously, as if he had strayed into a black shop in a mass grave in the middle of the night, surrounded by evil spirits.

"Young man, don't be nervous." The dock worker at the same table smiled honestly, "Since we have Baidi City, we have stopped doing those jobs. Our security is good here, we don't pick up lost items on the road, and we don't close our doors at night. Look, a gangster There are no ruffians. There are still gods sitting there."

Another person laughed: "The Long family is powerful, but we have to live. The government only protects the big merchant ships that have paid insurance premiums, and the pirates and road tyrants around them just turn a blind eye. Unless Penglai, who has a big family and is not afraid of bandits, The merchant ships under the influence of the government, ordinary merchants would rather take a detour and take the dry road than take this waterway. We good people who rely on water and water can't survive, but are water thieves and passing merchant ships. Of course, we all go to be water Thief."

Everyone said something to each other, and immediately talked about the words that have been discussed thousands of times, and talked about them with relish.

"Baidi City confiscated all the water thieves, maintained law and order, and paid taxes to the government for us. It can also bring so many merchants, and you can make money by doing whatever you want."

"That is, if you pay a small amount of money, you can bring your own goods and take a boat from Baidi City to do business in a distant place. It's a huge profit. Why should we be afraid of Baidi City?"

"Look at that city, can it be made by humans? One night three months ago, I saw it was just a rough water village. The next morning, I saw this city. It must be The Dragon Palace in the water moved mountains and seas, can you see the jade dragon spitting water on the top of the palace? Hey, this is the source of the entire Lanjiang River.”

The lady of the restaurant warmly smiled and filled up the wine for the knight: "This is the first time for the guest, don't follow the outsiders. Baidi City is with us, so it is quite a god on the shore. We hold water god sacrifices every year. It is to let the water god bless us to live. The government doesn't want to control it, and the Penglai mansion can't control it, but Baidi City can make those people listen to him. This kind of ability is even more magical than the water god."

The clever girl looked back at her mother, and added with a sweet smile: "There is a saying in our fisherman's family. If you speak ill of the water god on the water, it will be bad luck. However, if you say three words in your heart, you must Don’t be surprised, then it’s all right. If you don’t believe me, ask Mr. He at the next table, isn’t it?”

The Mr. Crane in white has been listening quietly, and the white clothes exudes a faint white light in the night.If you want to talk about the river god, who can be more like him?

But in everyone's heart, the Baidi City Lord who can fulfill their wishes and protect their safety, even if they have never seen him in person, even if he has the title of Extreme Dao Demon King in the Jianghu, does not seem to be a good person.But what he did in Baidi City was already the closest to the god they wanted in their hearts.

Wearing a bamboo hat, the young chivalrous man, who traveled all over the rivers and lakes, has always been jealous of evil, with clear grievances and grievances. He listened to this moment, but was speechless for a long time.

Extreme Demon Venerable Gu Mowen, the villain who was once as famous as the Gorefiend was feared by the whole world, kept secret, and handled with care.Now he has changed, but he has become the White Emperor City Lord who controls the water and land on both sides of the Lanjiang River for eight hundred miles.Eight palaces and twelve halls, countless people under his command.

But these ignorant people sincerely regard him as the god of water.

Minye?Thief?

Good guy, or bad guy?

Suddenly, I heard the fairy-like young man in white at the next table, with a clearer and calmer voice, with a thin smile: "Young hero's trip to Lanjiang, what you saw along the way, is it different from your impression?"

More than different, he always thought he was in the wrong place.

"Businessmen have the keenest sense of smell, but you can tell by looking at the boats coming and going, and the continuous flow of the river day and night. Three months ago, when you first came here, there was only one inn. Now, dozens of them have sprung up everywhere. gone."

Indeed, according to what they said, it used to be a small inn opened by people on the waterfront, but it has been expanded repeatedly due to passenger flow in just a few months.Even so, there is an endless stream of tourists coming and going, and it is often full before dusk.

The white-clothed man from outside Fang smiled lightly and said: "The wind in the river is just right, the moon will be full, and the Qionghua is like snow. You might as well put aside your status and righteousness for a while, and have a glass of wine, listen to fisherman's songs, and chat about the market. .After dawn, young heroes can fight swords again."

The chivalrous man wearing a bamboo hat tightly pursed his lips: "You are a cultivator, don't you know that there are only two colors in gossip, and there is no compromise in between?"

A smile appeared on the lips of the alchemist in white: "The cycle of black, white, good and evil in the world is like the alternation of day and night, and there is no end. Of course, there is a need for young heroes who can eliminate evil with swords, but some problems cannot be solved by killing people. People may Maliciousness cannot be completely cut off, but it can be planted to replace the soil where evil grows. Just as the night will always come as scheduled, if a bright moon rises, part of the darkness can be dispelled. You see, the jade dragon holds the moon. "

Everyone looked at the mysterious and majestic Baidi City at the same time, and they saw, on the highest peak of the dimly lit city, a white jade water dragon emitting a faint white light, holding a round pearl as big as the moon in the sky in its mouth. , the water steamed down, and the whole Baidi City seemed to wake up under the light.

Everyone knew that when that pearl lit up, the city lord had returned.

People marveled at the beauty of the long-lost grand scene, and suddenly remembered, wasn't the Crane Immortal blind?Why was he the first to notice that the pearl was lit up?

Looking back, the figure in white was no longer there.

I could only hear, above the cold river in the distance, there seemed to be a crane roaring towards the direction of Baidi City.

"Is there anything special about Lanjiang during my absence?"

Standing on the platform, Gu Jinxiao heard the approaching footsteps behind her, and asked softly.

"Yes. A man named He Jiuqing appeared at Lanjiang Restaurant every day, because someone once invited him to watch the sunrise and drink with him when he passed by Baidi City. After he heard about it, the first I came and passed by in two days, isn't it a little annoying? If you think it's okay, can you look back at him. "

Gu Jinxiao's eyelashes moved slightly, and she turned around slowly.

The alchemist with a white gauze on his face and eyes, with a warm and beautiful smile on his lips, said in a clear voice: "I've done the math, tomorrow will be sunny, and you can see the sunrise. I've prepared the wine, too. It's my own hands." The best brewed Sanshengzui. Gu Jinxiao, let's watch the sunrise together!"
