Dragon Fate of Shan Hai Ji

……

The prince knelt down on the ground: "Taizu Taizong please appease the anger, my father, the heavens will punish you, please push Na Le Yue out of the Meridian Gate quickly, and show it to the public at a late hour, so as to calm the anger of the heavens and the ancestors!"

He Shao held on to the railings, barely stood up, thinking, is it true that what I have done is really not tolerated by heaven and ancestors?He shouted loudly: "Come here, take Le Yue down!"

As soon as the word "take it down" was uttered, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of the guards who were about to rush forward.At the same time, Zhao Yuan, who was under the steps, turned into a golden dragon and soared up, occupying the nine heavens.

The golden dragon whistled, the long wind cleared the dark clouds, the blue sky was clear, the wind stopped, the ground stabilized, the ancestral temple stopped trembling, and in the blue sky, the golden morning wind slanted down and landed on Le Yue standing in front of the ancestral temple.

He Shao, the prince and other people present slowly stood up straight.Their eyes can't see the golden dragon, their ears can't hear the roar of the dragon, but they see Le Yue in the brilliant light, as if the light golden morning light is the dragon robe, and the colorful light beams refracted by the glazed tiles of the ancestral temple are the emperor's crown, standing on the jade. above the stage.

King Dingnan knelt down on the ground in full clothes: "Your Majesty, according to my humble opinion, this is not a punishment from the heavens, but a blessing from the heavens. It is a good omen for the protection of the ancestors and emperors."

The prince changed his face and said: "The strong wind blows, the sky and the earth are covered, the clan's house is bumpy, and the tablets of the ancestors tremble angrily. Is this an auspicious omen?"

King Dingnan said: "The wind is blowing and the ground is trembling. This is the vibration of the spirits of the heavens and the previous emperors. Afterwards, auspiciousness descends from the heavens, and the light is a sign of peace. This is a sign of great auspiciousness and prosperity. Congratulations, Your Majesty."

He Shao showed joy, coughed a few times, looked at Le Yue beside him, and finally calmed down.

King Anshun took a step forward and said: "This king has heard that brother Dingnan Wang doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, so why did he suddenly make such remarks today?"

King Dingnan smiled: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I believe in heaven."

He Shao said with a smile: "It's a good sentence not to believe in ghosts and gods but to believe in heaven! Du Qing's words are reasonable."

Anshun Wang Lianyi knelt down: "Your Majesty, Le Yue is a very strange person. He is definitely not of the clan's blood. When I was in Jiuyi, I saw that he used evil dragons to fool the common people. He must not be allowed to stay. If the Emperor is benevolent and righteous, You can spare his life, expel him from the pass, and never return to the court."

He Shaodao: "I know all about Mu Qing's loyalty. But now there are two factions, each insisting on their own words, one is a bad omen, and the other is a good omen. I can't decide. I can only know after verification. I have already made an order , if Le Yue pretends to be a blood relative of the royal family, he will be pushed out of the Meridian Gate immediately, punished by Ling Chi, and the remaining bones will be hung on the tower for a month, as a warning to everyone else. Could it be that Mu Qing suspects that I dare to protect Le Yue in front of the memorial tablets of the ancestors?"

King Anshun kowtowed: "I dare not."

He Shao continued: "Besides, it's probably rumors that Le Yue used evil dragons to do things. In front of the phoenix god totem in the ancestral temple, there are also national teachers sitting in the town. Even if there are dragons in the world, how can they cause trouble here?"

King Anshun stopped talking.

The light wall of the Phoenix God in the ancestral temple has been restored, Le Yue looked up to the sky, and in the distance saw Zhao Yuan in human form standing on the cloud, looking towards this direction from the light wall.

Even if he can't enter the ancestral temple, even if no one worships him now, it is Le Yue's pulse protector, and it will definitely help him.

The parent-inspection ceremony officially began.Eunuch Bai brought over a tray with a jade bowl filled with clear water and a small dagger on a yellow forged cloth.

He Shao picked up the dagger and was about to cut his finger, Feng Wu suddenly said: "Wait a minute." He stepped forward and took up the jade bowl, "Your Majesty, in order to be safe, you might as well replace the water in the bowl with the dew outside the altar, how about it?" ?”

The emperors of the Ying Dynasty advocated the art of Xuandao. Outside the ancestral temple, there is a bronze statue of a crane with a copper cup in its mouth, which is used for alchemy.

The situation that He Shao was most worried about finally appeared.He did some tricks in this bowl of water, even a drop of human blood and a drop of pig blood could melt together.

If he obstructs him at this time, he will definitely show his feet, so he can only say calmly: "The words of the national teacher are reasonable, so let's do as you say."

Seeing He Shao's expression, Le Yue thought to himself, I guessed right, I really did something wrong in the water bowl.The emperor didn't often lie when he saw it. When he said that the teacher was right, his face turned yellow.

He couldn't figure it out, Feng Wu must know that with Ying Ze and Shang Jing present, he would be able to pass this level with joy, so why bother to change the water.

Perhaps he simply took pleasure in frightening the emperor.

Feng Wu took the water bowl to the outside of the ancestral temple, and replaced the water with the dew in the copper cup.

He Shao stabilized his mind, cut his finger, and dripped a drop of blood into the water bowl.Le Yue took the dagger, cut his finger, and fell into the bowl with a clatter of snow.

He Shao couldn't help but secretly glanced at him, thinking, this time it's only your fate.

There was a faint green light on Shang Jing's tortoise shell, Le Yue's blood dripped towards He Shao's blood, and the two drops of blood melted together in the blink of an eye, turning into a big round drop lying on the bottom of the water bowl.

Eunuch Bai and the little eunuch beside him were the first to fall to the ground with a plop, tears streaming down their faces: "Congratulations to the emperor, God bless you. The late emperors are alive." Seeing this scene, all the officials outside the palace also knelt down and shouted long live.

He Shao was surprised and delighted, and could hardly believe his eyes.Could it be that God really blessed and the Emperor Taizu appeared?Could it be that Le Yue is really of He's blood?He was emotionally agitated for a while, and coughed uncontrollably. After a while, the cough subsided, and he ordered Eunuch Bai to hold the jade bowl to all officials for inspection.

Feng Wu stood aside with his arms folded, Le Yue thought that he would be more or less stumbling, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

Eunuch Bai walked down the steps with the tray in his hand, when suddenly a falcon pierced across the sky, opened its sharp claws, spit out lightning, and rushed straight at Eunuch Bai, Zhao Yuan hurriedly threw a ball of light, Eunuch Bai let out an oops and shook his hands, Zhao Yuan tried desperately to catch the jade bowl, but was bounced away heavily by the light wall, and his back was pierced by some sharp object, his consciousness was lost, and he fell from mid-air.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, Lin Jing yelled angrily, swung the whip away, and Shang Jing turned into a human figure to cast the spell, but it was too late.

Everyone saw that the jade bowl fell down the steps and broke into several pieces. At the same time, an object about one foot long fell to the ground.

The prince yelled: "Dragon, it's a dragon! That Le Yue really knows how to demonize! Quick! Escort! Take him down!"

A fiery red phoenix shadow transformed into the sky and rushed straight to the little dragon on the ground. Someone shouted loudly: "It's the Phoenix God! The Phoenix God manifested and wiped out the evildoers!"

A long flaming whip and a blue rainbow blocked Phoenix's figure, Shang Jing rescued Zhaoyuan, Lin Jing threw the whip at Fenghuang again, and said bitterly: "Let the old dragon do it!"

The fire phoenix turned into nothingness in the air, and Lin Jing looked up and saw Fengtong standing in the sky with his arms folded.

Feng Tong clamped Lin Jing's long whip with two fingers, with a solemn expression: "Miss Lin, this matter is indeed not arranged by me."

Lin Jing shouted angrily: "Who are you lying to?"

Feng Tong stared into the ancestral temple.

In the ancestral temple, Feng Wu looked at Le Yue and Ying Ze with a smile: "Do you know where you lost this time?"

Ying Ze frowned, the world was as dark as night for an instant, Feng Wu still smiled: "You guys are losing, there are some things that you think I can't do, but I did." [PS: I don't know why, let's two No one has completed this sentence, so I will finish it here, so that the claw machine can read it more smoothly, because I often use the claw machine, and I specially changed computers for this sentence] Le Yue suddenly felt a chill in his chest .The dagger that cut his finger just now was inserted into his left chest by Feng Wu.

Feng Wu didn't use any magic power.

There has never been a god who would plot against a mortal with only mortal weapons without using any magic power.

But Feng Wu did this, even Ying Ze didn't expect it.

Feng Wu said to Ying Ze with a smile: "Shang Jun is too big."

Zhao Yuan in Shang Jing's hand screamed sharply, and a long golden dragon slammed into the barrier of the altar, and the scales rushed into the ancestral temple with blood dripping. The walls and roof of the ancestral temple were broken into pieces, and Feng Wu's figure flew upside down To the sky, Ying Ze slowly rose into the air.

Feng Wu was caught by Feng Tong, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said: "Shangjun Yinglong... Even if you kill the little god now, you can't save that mortal's life."

All the officials on the ground scattered in a hurry, and the eunuchs surrounded He Shao and staggered and huddled in the remaining railings. It seemed that the prince and King Anshun were shouting excitedly to take down the evildoers, as well as Lin Qing's angry shouts and Shang Jing's anxious voice. sound.

But Le Yue felt that these chaotic voices were becoming more and more blurred, and he slowly slipped and fell to the ground.

It turned out that he would break here without knowing why.

He neither became a hero nor became an emperor.

Just dying like that.

It seems that Le Yue was born with an ordinary life. Even if he meets a dragon, a unicorn, and is protected by a great god, he should still be a wimp.Something tightly surrounded his body, Le Yue vaguely knew that it was Zhao Yuan.

He struggled and said, "I'm sorry... this matter... is really useless... wait until I die... you can find someone more decent..."

The shrill roar of the dragon was earth-shattering.

Le Yue was in a daze, feeling as if he had flown up and landed in a real place, someone whispered in his ear.

Could it be that this young hero has already arrived at the underworld?Le Yue struggled hard, opened his eyes suddenly, and Muran saw a familiar face magnified in front of his eyes.

That face smiled kindly at him and said, "Fellow Daoist, where do we never meet again in life, why are you here?"

Le Yue got up and looked around.

The blue sky, white clouds, green trees, green grass, and two flies linger beside him, buzzing.

He stuck his fingers into his mouth and bit hard, gasping for breath in pain.

Touching the left chest again, something squirmed under the palm, Le Yue stretched his hand into his bosom, and touched Zhao Yuan's cool dragon body, he pulled it out, brought it to his eyes, the little dragon's paw moved, and his body twisted twice , slowly opened his eyes, and looked at him full of confusion.

It's Zhaoyuan, that's right.

Master Qing Yao stretched out his hand to touch Zhao Yuan's body: "Brother Le, your long friend is still so cute."

Zhao Yuan shook his head, looked at Le Yue vigorously again, his whole body shone with golden light, and turned into a human form.

He grabbed Le Yue's skirt, and Le Yue said helplessly: "You don't need to take it apart to verify, I just checked it myself, and there is no injury." But on the left hand, the cut left by the blood test was still there.

Qing Yao asked suspiciously: "Brother Le, are you injured?"

Le Yue patted his forehead: "No, it seems to be fine now, I thought I did something wrong."

Qing Yao smiled and said: "However, brother Yue, your water escape technique is really good. That day in our school, you and this little brother Long fell into the pool and disappeared. Let me find it."

Le Yue laughed: "Well, I may have some weird problems, I often don't know what I have done... By the way, brother Qingyao, where is this place?"

Qing Yao looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Could it be that Brother Le used some magic circle to get here inexplicably? This place is Shan'an."

Shan'an... Le Yue frowned, isn't Shan'an the old name of the capital?Everyone in the world knows that Yingjing, the capital of the Ying Dynasty, used to be a desolate small city, Shan'an. Beijing.

It seems that every time he returns to 400 years ago, he and Zhaoyuan are also in the place before the time travel.

Le Yue said: "Why is Brother Qing Yao here?"

Qing Yao said: "I sent that clam back to the sea. I heard that there is a village under the Shan'an City that advocates Taoism and knows how to keep in good health, so I came to have a look. I didn't know that when I went into the woods to find water, I saw Brother Le. You are lying by the river." He looked at the river next to him, and then at Le Yue, "Yes, Brother Le is accompanied by Longyou, so he must be proficient in water control, that's why every time I meet you, I always look at you riverside."

Le Yue laughed dryly, thinking, I only know how to drink water.

Seeing that Le Yue was fine at first, Zhao Yuan's heart went blank, and he followed Le Yue closely, grabbing his arm with his front paws, for fear that there would be another knife in his chest suddenly.

Qing Yao looked at them one by one and asked, "Brother Le, what are your plans?"

Le Yue calculated that every time he followed Qing Yao, there was always a way to go back 400 years later, so he said: "We got here somehow, we have no plans, I don't know if brother Qing Yao is willing to go with us."

Qing Yao immediately readily agreed.

He filled the water bag, took Le Yue and Zhao Yuan to a small road, and said, "This village is very hard to find. I asked people in the city for a long time, and even drew a blueprint, but I still couldn't find the place. "

They walked along the path for a while, only seeing barren mountains, old trees, weeds, ditches, and not a single thatched cottage.

Le Yue couldn't help but said: "Brother Qingyao, is there any problem with your blueprint?"

Qing Yao sighed, he hired a fortune teller in Shan'an City to draw this picture, and it cost him twenty renminbi.

Le Yue secretly said, believing that the fortune teller is a ghost if he is not deceived.

They walked for another half an hour, their legs were sore and weak, and they went around the bushes beside the road to take a breath, but they saw three people sitting under a big tree.

Qing Yao immediately cheered up, stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "Excuse me, everyone, may I ask if you know how to get to Linggu Village?"

The three people were old and young, the oldest one was about sixty years old, with shabby clothes and gray and dry hair.The other person was about thirty years old, with a dark complexion, a strong figure, and dressed like a martial artist.The two of them didn't reply, they only looked at Qingyao and Le Yue and Zhao Yuan in the distance with vigilance.

The youngest one was a young man in his twenties, wearing brocade clothes, with a handsome face, like a son of a wealthy family, he also looked at Qingyao, got up kindly and said: "Your Excellency, you must be a foreigner." , I don’t know why I went to Linggu Village?”

Qing Yao said: "I'm just a passing tourist. I heard that Linggu Village in Shan'an advocates Taoism, and the villagers are all good at maintaining their health. So I want to see it."

The young man sized Qing Yao up again, and said, "To tell you the truth, the three of us also went to Linggu Village."

Qing Yao said happily: "Oh? Then I wonder if we can go together?"

The young man, the middle-aged man, and the old man looked at each other, and the middle-aged man spit out: "Forget it, there are so many people, it's okay to add three more."

Qing Yaoxin happily turned around and waved to Le Yue Zhaoyuan, and the two of them sat down in the shade with the three of them.

The middle-aged man looked at the three of them again in turn, and said harshly: "You don't speak secretly in front of Ming people, and the brothers also went to Changshou Village to find the elixir like us, right?"

Qing Yao, Le Yue and Zhao Yuan all looked blank.

The young man carefully observed their expressions and found that they were not fake, so he smiled and said: "It seems that a few of them are indeed guests from other places. Everyone in their village can live to be over a hundred years old, and their hair is black, their teeth are strong, and their bodies are healthy. It doesn’t look old, and when it spreads to other places, it is said that there is a longevity village here. This village has a different name, because everyone in the village is named Le, and it is also called Lejiazhuang.”

Qing Yao said: "Oh? Our brother Le is also surnamed Le, so it's really a fate."

The eyes of the three people immediately fell on Le Yue, and the old man said softly: "So this little brother is actually surnamed Le. It seems that the people in Lejiazhuang will not reject us."

The youth said, Linggu Village generally does not accept foreigners easily, but if it is a predestined person, it may be possible to stay overnight.

The young man asked their names again, and both Qingyao Leyue and Zhaoyuan reported them truthfully.

The young man arched his hands: "It's a pleasure to meet you. My surname is Mu, and I have a single name. This is Brother Baili, named Bailichen. Like the others, I also came from other places. Only this Mr. He is a local."

Le Yue couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the surnames of these people, so he asked, "Which one is the old man's surname?"

The old man said in a hoarse voice, "What can people do?"

Le Yue thought to himself, if the old man's surname is Mu and Baili's, it would be a coincidence.

During the conversation afterwards, Le Yue learned that Mu Lun was a son of a wealthy family in Zhoucheng, but it happened in troubled times and his family was in decline.My mother was suffering from a stubborn illness that could not be cured. She came here from afar when she heard that there was a magic medicine in Linggu Village, Shan'an City, that could save her life and cure her intractable illness.

The middle-aged man Bailichen was born in the army, but he was sent back to his hometown because he injured his leg with frostbite while guarding the border.Unexpectedly, there was a flood in his hometown, and his wife got water bugs in her body, and she suffered from cold syndrome.He searched for prescriptions everywhere but failed, and occasionally heard that there is a longevity village in Shan'an, which has panacea that can cure all diseases, so he came to ask for it.

The two met when they were exploring in the city, and they went together to search, and met Mr. He on the road, and the three of them went together.

Le Yue said: "It seems that everyone's longevity in Linggu Village is related to their proficiency in medical skills."

Mr. He shook his head and said hoarsely: "You foreigners don't know the basics. The people in Lejiazhuang don't know any medical skills. They can live long because they have a fairy well. The water in the well can cure all diseases. The people in Lejiazhuang People are afraid that the well will be taken by others, so outsiders are strictly forbidden to enter, so the so-called asking for medicine is actually asking for water in a well." After speaking in a hoarse voice, he coughed and coughed a few times, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

Qing Yao said: "Then the old lady is also here to seek medicine?"

Mr. He said, it is true that although the name of Shan’an is good, the people’s life is neither good nor safe. Last year, there was a severe drought, almost no food harvest, and there was a plague. His only son died, and only his wife and his wife were left. The daughter-in-law was still heaving a sigh of relief, this time the panacea was for them.

Le Yue felt very sympathetic after hearing this, Qing Yao said: "I believe that the people in Linggu Village are not hard-hearted, and they will definitely agree to your request."

Mr. He sighed: "Oh, you guys think too well of people. When the plague hit, tens of thousands of people died, and they didn't come to save them. I heard that there is a holy lady enshrined in Linggu Village. Everyone in the village obeys the order of the holy lady. Whether to save people or not depends on the mood of the holy lady."

Mu Lun interjected: "When I was in the hall in the city, I heard people say that if you want to ask for medicine, you must first worship the saint." He reached out and took out a handful of incense from his bag, "Here, this is in the Taoist temple in the city. The incense please, I heard that holy nuns only receive this kind of incense with the aroma of jasmine."

Bai Lichen opened the rattan frame beside him and took out a lotus carefully preserved in the water urn: "I heard that saintesses like white lotus flowers. And they must be as fresh as they were just picked."

Mr. He hissed, "I don't even have any rice to cook in my house. I really have nothing to offer to the holy aunt. There is only a handkerchief embroidered by my old lady. I hope the holy aunt will accept it."

Le Yue couldn't help thinking that she didn't know the origin of that so-called holy lady, but she was like a god, asking people to kowtow and bow down.

Qing Yao, Le Yue and Zhao Yuan were all empty-handed, without anything to offer.

Mu Lun said: "Three, if you are like this, I am afraid that Linggu Village will not let you enter the village."

Qing Yao couldn't help complaining about the fortune-teller who drew the blueprints, even if he drew the wrong blueprints, he didn't even tell such a crucial thing.

Bai Lichen said: "If you are not looking for medicine, why bother spending money? It's fine if you can't enter the village."

Qing Yao sighed and said, "That being said, after finally getting here, I was always unwilling to get a glimpse of the mystery of Linggu Village."

After resting for a while, he got up and started on the road. The old man He knew the path, and led them around two valleys, along the edge of a small river, and turned around a mountain ridge.In the valley, a village sits by the river.Surrounded by weeping willows, the curling smoke reflects the setting sun at dusk, creating a leisurely atmosphere.

They crossed the river on a wooden bridge, and when they reached the front of the village, two or three young men dressed as farmers came out to greet them, clasping their fists and saluting, "Where did the wise man come from?"

Qing Yao returned the salute with his sleeves raised, pointed to himself, Le Yue and Zhao Yuan and said, "The three of us are tourists from outside. I heard about Guizhuang's virtuous name, so I came here to visit Lun Dao."

The leader of the younger generation said modestly: "Do nothing and fight for a village, dare not speak out."

Qing Yao said: "I am a loafer in the south, the north, and the north. I don't talk about rules and regulations, but I just like to be at ease."

The young man looked up at Qingyao, Le Yue and Zhao Yuan, bowed and said: "Worthy guest or someone with predestined relationship, please let me know first."

Le Yue noticed that he used the word "reported", it seems that this farmer-like brother is a servant of a certain character.

The young man hurried into the village, and the remaining two looked at Mu Lun, Bai Lichen and Mr. He.

Mu Lun looked at Le Yue's side enviously, and just now he stepped forward and said respectfully: "The three of you, there are relatives who are seriously ill at home, and they heard that there is an elixir in your village, so they came to beg."

A young man said: "Our village is an ordinary farm. No one reads the famous books, and no one has the medicine for the world. Did you choose the wrong path and the wrong place?"

Mu Lun hurriedly took out the incense bouquet that he had asked for, and offered it respectfully with both hands: "At home, my mother is seriously ill, and I will only wait in a hurry. I sincerely beg, please help me. This incense is my sincere dedication, and I hope it will be accommodated."

The younger generation said: "There is really nothing in the village that you are looking for, please go back."

Mu Lun begged bitterly, and Bai Lichen came up from behind him, opened the rattan basket, and took out the lotus: "I am a rough man, and I don't know how to speak politely. I just got a lotus occasionally and thought it was very beautiful, so I came here , hoping to find someone who understands flowers for it.”

What he said was very blunt and stumbling, obviously he had memorized it from a model.Then the young fruit bears fruit. After looking at it, he said, "It's a beautiful flower. Please wait here for a while, Your Excellency. Let me go in for a while." He hurried into the village.

Bai Lichen let out a long breath, and stood aside with excitement and anticipation.

Old man He also took a step forward, took out the cloth bag in his arms, and hissed: "This thing was embroidered by my wife, it's not a good thing, but unfortunately no one can use it, not only can I find an owner for it in the village. "

He opened the cloth bag, revealing a handkerchief, made of inferior silk, but embroidered with a vivid picture of goldfish playing in the water.The remaining junior looked at it reluctantly, then looked at the stooped old man He, and said: "Then please wait here for a while, and the junior will go in and help you find it."

The junior who was the first to inform Qingyao Leyue and Zhao Yuan came out first, clasped his fists and said to them: "The virtuous guest came from afar, please forgive me for treating you poorly. Please come to the manor with me, the three of you. But there is tea to serve."

Mu Lun, Bai Lichen and Mr. He all looked over with envious and envious eyes.At this time, the other two younger students came out in a hurry, and said to Bai Lichen and Mr. He respectively: "Please come in with me, both of you."

Mu Lun took two steps forward and asked eagerly: "Then what should I do? Can I ask you two to be flexible and report..." He held up the bunch of incense with trembling hands, "I also... don't ask for anything, I just want to This bouquet of incense is dedicated to those who love it."

A young man shook his head and said, "Your Excellency has explained the purpose of your visit, so why bother to change it? The thing you are asking for is really not available in our village. Please find another way earlier, so as not to delay the patient."

Mu Lun fell to his knees and begged bitterly, but the young men insisted on refusing.Le Yue and Qing Yao couldn't see it, so they interceded for him, but it still didn't work.Three young men led Le Yue and five people into the front of the villa. Zhao Yuan looked back and saw Mu Lun still kneeling in front of the villa, looking in their direction with a look of despair on his face.

Linggu Village is full of thatched huts with bamboo fences, idlers gather in front of the door to drink tea and chat, and children run around and play.At a fork in the road, the two young men led Bai Lichen and Mr. He to a certain direction, and led Qing Yao Leyue and Zhao Yuan's young men to bow and signal to the other direction: "Three please."

In front of the winding brick road, there is a house, which is different from other houses.

The overhanging eaves are painted in ink, the windows are white and the walls are white, and it looks like the main hall of a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple.

When Le Yue and Zhao Yuan saw this house, their hearts skipped a beat.There are two willow trees and two pagoda trees in the four corners of this house, and the layout of the courtyard is exactly the same as the apse of Yueqing Palace.
