catch the rabbit

As soon as Jiang Tiaotiao entered Princess Shuxian's dream, what she saw was Wan'an Street.

The Wan'an Street in the dream was almost the same as the real one, and he even saw Yueranju, but the people who came and went had the same face and the same clothes, walked slowly, and looked indifferent.

Because of the God-moving technique, Jiang Tiaotiao looked like a tangerine at the moment, and his white clothes looked very eye-catching in the crowd.

He looked around, but he didn't see Xi Baiqing, nor the little princess.

However, since she was able to construct Wan'an Street in her dream, it meant that she had been to this place before, but she didn't have a deep impression of it.

According to common sense, Princess Shuxian is likely to be in the place she is most familiar with, which is the palace.

Jiang Tiaotiao stood among the crowd and looked around, only to see a mist shrouded in mist at the end of Wan'an Street, vaguely a lake.

On the other side of the lake is the magnificent palace.

Lianxin Lake, which was originally supposed to be in the east of the city, is now lying between Wan'an Street and the imperial palace.

Jiang Tiaotiao walked towards the lake through the crowd of pedestrians. The moment he walked out of Wan'an Street, he felt raindrops hitting his shoulders.

The closer he got to Lianxin Lake, the harder it rained.

Jiang Tiaotiao broke a lotus leaf, transformed into an oil-paper umbrella, and stepped onto the stone bridge on the lake.

The long and narrow stone bridge was only as wide as a child's palm. When he walked for a while, a section of the bridge behind him was broken.

When walking to the center of the lake, the lotus flowers on both sides of the bridge are already in full bloom, and the huge flowers are filled with rainwater like a giant bowl.

He stood on the only half of the stone bridge left and looked straight into the bottom of the lake. There seemed to be many pairs of eyes looking at him under the lake.

Jiang Tiaotiao suddenly remembered the scene of Lin Wanke drowning in Lianxin Lake in order to save people during the Lotus Watching Festival.

At that time, he rescued Lin Wanke, but he just pushed him out of the water without letting others know that he did it.

Why didn't he tell Lin Wan that he saved him?

Jiang Tiaotiao himself couldn't explain clearly.

He quietly looked at the surface of the lake that had been rippled by the rain, and there was only the sound of rain in the whole world.

Those looming eyes under the lake gradually dissipated, leaving only one pair still looking at him.

"help me."

A faint voice pierced through the sound of rain and reached his ears.

Jiang Tiaotiao couldn't help being startled, then looked under the water, and a figure was clearly visible.

"help me……"

The man seemed to be being dragged into the depths of the lake, and only one hand was stretched out to him.

Jiang Tiaotiao couldn't see the other party's eyebrows clearly, but the memory of saving people on the night of the Lotus Watching Festival became more and more clear.

The figure under the lake also slowly changed into Lin Wanke's appearance as if the fog had been lifted.

"Help me quickly, or I will die."

Lin Wanke's face looked indescribably pale underwater, and his eyes were full of despair.

Jiang Tiaotiao leaned down, and the oil-paper umbrella painted with koi and lotus floated down with him, landed on the figure, and turned back into a green lotus leaf.

"It's a dream."

He muttered to himself, stood up and walked forward again.

A low voice came from behind, lingering in his ears, and invisible hands gently pulled his sleeves and patted his shoulders.

"Why don't you save me? Please, get me out of the water."

Jiang Tiaotiao turned a deaf ear and walked step by step to the palace on the other side of the lake in the heavy rain.When he took the last step, he turned his head and saw that the stone bridge was completely broken, and the entire Lianxin Lake and Wan'an Street on the opposite side collapsed before his eyes.

"The little princess really didn't lie."

If he had gone to rescue people in the water or turned back on the stone bridge just now, he would probably be trapped in the depths of a dream.It seems that Princess Shuxian has not only seen the art of entering dreams, Xu Yao must have taught her something.

Jiang Tiaotiao sighed, and turned to look at the towering palace in front of him.

The heavy rain has stopped with the disappearance of Lianxin Lake, and the snow is falling from the sky.

The roof of the imperial palace was covered with a layer of snow, and countless ice edges formed under the windows, shining crystal light.

He stepped on the icy ground, walking all the way, only to see court ladies in red and green holding all kinds of snacks and wine, all in a hurry.

Princess Shuxian is very familiar with the imperial palace, so these maids have distinct features, and they are no different from real people.

Two court ladies walked at the end, each holding a treasure chest, talking while walking.

"Have the sixth princess's new clothes been delivered yet?"

"I just sent it to Dexiu Palace. I didn't know there would be such a heavy snow before. Fortunately, I sent it in time."

The two were just talking and didn't notice that Jiang Tiaotiao was following them.

In fact, even if they found out, they wouldn't think there was anything wrong, after all, they were just people in a dream.

Jiang Tiaotiao followed the maids to Dexiu Palace, and found that it was not empty at all in reality, but decorated with lights and festoons. Countless beautiful palace ladies came in and out, and the whole hall was very lively.

There is a big "Shou" character in the middle of the palace. It seems that in this dream, it is celebrating the birthday of Princess Shuxian.

Jiang Tiaotiao saw Suxian in new clothes sitting on a chair covered with brocade cushions, unpacking one gift box after another.

He knew that this was just a person in a dream, and it was not her who actually built this dream.

It's as if some people see themselves in a dream like a bystander in a dream.

So where is the real Princess Seohyun?

Jiang Tiao jumped out of the palace and paced slowly in the heavy snow.

The wind mixed with snow powder hit him, even in a dream, it made him feel a little cold.

The snow on the ground has accumulated very thickly, and people will leave messy footprints wherever they walk.

Jiang Tiaotiao noticed a row of small and shallow footprints with frozen petals falling on them.

"It's peach blossoms." He bent down and took a closer look, then walked forward along the row of footprints.

The further you go, the more petals there are on the ground.

When the peach blossoms were almost as thick as snow, a garden appeared in front of Jiang Tiaotiao's eyes, with all kinds of flowers blooming in it. It was as warm as spring, and it was almost a different world from the snow-covered palace.

In the garden, a huge lion is tethered and sleeping beside a blooming crabapple.Sitting on the back of the lion is a little girl dressed as a maid of honor, about eleven or twelve years old, and she is smart and cute.

"Brother in white, are you also here to see the cat?"

The little girl touched the lion's head, and asked Jiang Tiaotiao in a very cute voice.

"Yeah, your cat is really cute." Jiang Tiao jumped, "Has anyone else been here besides me?"

"There was also a masked elder brother in black who also said he liked cats." The little girl said with a smile.

"Where did that brother go?" Jiang Tiaotiao heard her description, and knew it must be Xi Baiqing.

The little girl tilted her head to look at him for a while, then pouted and said, "I won't tell you."

Jiang Tiaotiao laughed when he heard the words, thought for a while and said: "Well, my brother will do a trick for you. If you are happy watching it, tell me, okay?"

The little girl clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "Wonderful, I like watching juggling the most!"

Jiang Tiaotiao looked around and saw a hundred flowers blooming all around, vying for beauty, only the peach tree had lost all its flowers, so he cast a spell to roll up all the petals on the ground, dancing like a group of butterflies.

The little girl on the lion's back clapped her hands and applauded. Jiang Tiaotiao played with her for a while and then withdrew the spell. Seeing her disappointed face, she said apologetically, "I don't have much time to play with you. Tell me about the black dress." Where did your brother go?"

The little girl patted the lion's back and said, "I'll take you to find it, come up."

Jiang Tiaotiao gently jumped onto the lion's back and sat beside her.

The giant lion opened its eyes, let out a low growl, and staggered forward.Although Jiang Tiaotiao was a monster, his real body was a rabbit anyway, and it was uncomfortable to sit on the lion's back, but the little girl didn't care, and chatted with him chirping.

"Your surname is Jiang, so I'll call you brother Jiang, okay?" The little girl stretched out her hand to stroke the lion, "My name is Xiaoan, and it's called Maoer."

"Xiao'an..." Jiang Tiaotiao was thoughtful, "Have you been in that garden all this time?"

"No, I only go there sometimes, but most of the time I'm here—" she said, pointing.

Jiang Tiaotiao looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a gloomy high wall with a locked gate, the left side was empty, and a giant snake was carved on the right.

He was fascinated, but the giant lion stopped at this moment.

"The brother in black is in the front room." Xiao An said, "I can't accompany you in."

After Jiang Tiaotiao thanked him, he jumped off the lion's back and walked into the room surrounded by purple silk and satin. He looked down at his wrist, and the dream line was about to disappear, which meant that time was running out.

He suddenly remembered something. Looking back, Xiaoan and Mao'er had disappeared, but the dark wall was still there, and there was a stone lion roaring up to the sky on the left side that was originally blank.

Jiang Tiaotiao knew that there must be something mysterious about that door, but right now he didn't have time to do more research.He stepped up the steps amidst the flying silk and satin, and he only heard laughter like silver bells along the way.

Countless Princess Shuxian were smiling at him.

Some of them are holding flowers, some are holding scrolls, and some are carrying an eagle, but they all wear exactly the same brocade robes and gold crowns, and even the dimples on their faces are carved in the same mold. from.

The dream line on Jiang Tiaotiao's wrist was only a little blue, but he sat down unhurriedly and looked at the princesses in front of him quietly.

One couldn't help asking, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

Jiang Tiaotiao shook his head: "Don't worry, I know which of you is the real Princess Suxian."

Another little princess asked, "Then why didn't you point it out?"

Jiang Tiaotiao sighed, and said: "If I say it, this dream will be over. I don't see colors much, so... I'm a bit reluctant."

"Can't you usually see colors?" Several Shu Xian gathered around and asked in one go.

"That's right." Jiang Tiaotiao said, "So when I can see it, even if the color difference is very small, I can recognize it at a glance."

He said, raising the wrist tied with the dream thread.

The remaining cyan blue was getting lighter and lighter, and just before it disappeared, Jiang Tiao jumped out like lightning and grabbed the arm of one of them.

At the same time, the eagle on her shoulder spread its wings and transformed into a black dress.

Jiang Tiaotiao only had time to see half of Xi Baiqing's face revealed, and everything in the dream turned into crystal dust in an instant.

When he opened his eyes, the world in front of him had returned to black and white.

"Just an hour." Wan Kong let out a long breath, "How is it?"

Jiang Tiaotiao shook his head: "I don't know, I seem to have found the princess at the same time as Xi Baiqing."

"Is it a draw again?" Huang Cai suddenly felt a little bored, "I always feel that something is wrong with this Xi Baiqing."

"Let's talk about it when Cheng Ju comes back." Wankong sat down weakly in the chair, it seemed that the spirit-moving technique had consumed most of her energy.

In fact, Jiang Tiaotiao was also very tired, but the dark door was always hovering in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it for a long time.

The stone lions and giant snakes are obviously guarding important things.What kind of secret is hidden behind that door?
