Chaoyuan Road

On the third day of March, the Pantao Festival.Immortals from all over the world, six worlds and ten directions gathered in the 33 heavens on this day, tasted flat peaches, tasted royal wine, and congratulated the Queen Mother on the Qianqiu Christmas.Since three months ago, Cun Xin led the eunuchs in Yaochi to prepare the classic instruments and the queen mother's clothes and decorations. The mother got up to make up, and then came to the Yuqing Palace with the queen mother's phoenix chariot, and greeted the Jade Emperor in person, and went to the Yaochi together for a banquet.

At that time, all the immortals had already gathered in the water pavilion, and the familiar immortals gathered in groups of three or four, or gathered together holding hands to express their parting feelings to each other, or whispering and commenting on the secrets of heaven, and some were still awake. Humans, busy surrounding the three Qings and the Four Emperors to say hello and smile, the high-ranking immortals enjoy the compliments and are self-satisfied, and the lesser gods nod and bow with suppressed excitement. If it weren't for the cigarette smoke curling up in the purple mist, I really wouldn't be able to tell How is it different from the mortal court where the clothes are fragrant and the temples are full of paper and money.

Suddenly, the sound of golden bells and jade chimes sounded loudly in my ears, and the water and clouds at the head of Jinbo Bridge moved with fragrance. Four golden phoenixes came floating in the queen mother's phoenix chariot. , Chijie stood on the back of Qingluan, and there were eight Wuhuo warriors around, with wings growing from their ribs, galloping back and forth between the sky and the clouds.Then came the Jade Emperor's dharma driver, usually surrounded by countless immortal officials and celestial maidens Fei Lianyu, only sixteen nine-color spotted lins were added, and the car was covered with a yellow canopy, and a huge mani pearl shone brightly. Shooting, so bright that people dare not look at it.

The waterside pavilion, which was originally full of laughter, suddenly became quiet, and only the priests of Yunshao Mansion were playing the sheng. The 64 celestial maidens in Xiayi and holding feather fans performed the eight-job dance. At the place where the fairy music floated, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother slowly got out of the car and boarded the throne, and Dongxia Fusang Great Emperor came out, leading all the immortals to salute together.The Jade Emperor looked at the Queen Mother, only to see the golden mother Yuanjun, who was wearing a phoenix crown on her head and a necklace on her shoulders, smiled slightly, took up the banana leaf crystal cup filled with wine on the case, and paid respects to the dandelion. It's the official start.

After drinking for three rounds, the immortal officials successively presented congratulatory gifts from the gods at the bottom of the steps. The female officials came in one after another with all kinds of treasures in their hands, and everyone was smiling like flowers in the haze and haze.The Queen Mother browsed for a long time, but she was already impatient, but she couldn't look at the faces of the immortals, so she could only suppress her temper and smile, and casually said some rewarding words to send people away without mentioning it.She dealt with the birthday presenter, turned her head and said to Cun Xin in a low voice: "Go and see, what is Yang Jian doing, why hasn't he come yet?"

The dragon girl took the order, quietly left Yaochi, and meandered towards the Zhenjun Temple.When we arrived at the temple, we found that the gate was closed tightly. Except for a few grass-headed gods patrolling and guarding the gate, not even a ray of light could come out of it.Cun Xin was surprised, on such a big day, Yang Jian should at least send someone to present a gift list, not to mention congratulations. No one is seen?

Cun Xin hesitated for a moment, but still hid himself, touched the desk in the temple, hesitated again and again, and still escaped into the secret room by water.As soon as he entered, he saw Yang Jian sitting cross-legged on the couch, doing exercises with his eyes closed.When Longnu saw him like this, she gritted her teeth angrily, and wanted to reprimand him a few steps up, but she held back when she reached the front.Holding his breath and waiting for a stick of incense (anti-pumping), Yang Jian slowly opened his eyes, and saw the three princesses standing in front of him with anger and anger.

It turned out that Cun Xin also wore a high bun according to the grade today, and wore a seven-treasure exquisite crown. In the middle of the crown, on the Liuyun hairpin, a trembling golden phoenix held a wish-fulfilling pearl in its mouth, radiant and colorful. Huatian, still wearing a goose-yellow skirt with wide sleeves and a wide-sleeved, waist-length skirt, and peliumans green cloak, usually the color of third-rank female official uniforms, but the material of the dress is extremely high-quality woven gold brocade, embedded with fine gold according to the texture. The golden silk is not easy to see in the daytime, but now that the lights in the secret room are bright, the golden silk glows with dazzling light and shadow.Such a floor-length dress, against the snowy skin of the dragon girl, outlines her graceful and graceful figure in the shadow of jumping candles, adding a bit of charm to the solemn and dignified three princesses on weekdays.Yang Jian stared at her, speechless for a long time, then let out a breath after a long time, and said quietly: "I have never seen you dressed up like this, you are like this, really..." Before he could finish speaking, he felt angry in his chest. The blood was surging, and he hurriedly covered his lips with his fist, coughing uncontrollably.

When Cun Xin heard this, her cheeks blushed, and she wanted to say something, but seeing Yang Jian coughing sadly, she hurriedly found the tea table, poured a cup of tea for Yang Jian, and handed it over, Fang curled her lips and said, "What am I, go and see Look, which of the female fairies is not gorgeous and surrounded by pearls and greenery? You only saw me, but you haven't seen..." She paused, but she didn't continue, she just smiled self-consciously, and changed Changed the topic: "Today is the official day of the Pantao Festival, so it's fine if you don't come, why don't you come?"

Yang Jian took a sip of tea, as if he had just woken up from a daze, suppressed the smoldering qi between his chest and diaphragm, and said: "Yesterday, I sent someone to deliver the Huo Qijing and the Twelve Hours Furnace, and she still wants to What do you want?"

Cun Xin said "oh" and said, "It must be because I'm not here, Changrong took it for me. The lady never mentioned the congratulatory gift, but she just asked me to see why you haven't arrived yet." She glanced at Yang Jian's face, Cautiously said: "Your face is pale, dare you be sick?"

Yang Jian shook his head, and was about to get up as soon as he supported the mat, Cun Xin subconsciously reached out to help him, only to feel his body sway before he stood still, his heart sank, and he hurriedly asked: "Are you..." She Seeing the blood on Yang Jian's fingers, he took a step back in shock and said in a trembling voice, "Are you injured? This is... who is this, who can hurt you like this?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Yang Jian had no choice but to whisper, "I'm okay." His voice was hoarse and low, with lingering fatigue, "It's the Lotus Lantern. I followed Chen Xiang to the Jingtan Temple, and I didn't check for a while. Following the path of that pig's head."

"I only know that Chen Xiang left Liujia Village," Cun Xin approached and held Yang Jian by the arm, "It turns out that the San Sheng Mu has told him the spell of the Lotus Lantern." She looked at Yang Jian with anxiety and worry in her eyes, " Then what do you do in the future, do you want to continue chasing it?"

Yang Jian didn't answer, just pondered with his lowered eyes.The dragon girl sighed, took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve, and used a water trick to carefully wipe away the remaining blood between Yang Jian's fingers.She endured and endured, and finally said softly: "Yang Jian, don't worry about this matter anymore, okay? Let's find a reason and let others..."

"Third Princess," Yang Jian pulled out his hand and abruptly interrupted her, "I was appointed by my mother to hunt down Liu Chenxiang, you don't know it?"
