Yunyue past events

There are lotus flowers blooming in the pool of the academy, and several small green-skinned frogs are jumping happily on the lotus leaves, calling happily, and the sound of the frogs is continuous.A chubby boy threw stones at the frogs in the pool and said, "It's so annoying to croak all day long! Just wait, eat me!"

The boy's name is Zhaorui, he is 12 years old, he is overnourished, and he is taller and stronger than other children of the same age.

"Quack!"

The stones flew out, and the frog jumped and plopped into the water.

Suddenly, Zhaorui got a slap on the head. He was about to have a fit, but he raised his head, rubbed his head and smirked: "Hey, brother is back!"

The man who patted Zhaorui's head was named Zhaoxuan. He wore a brocade robe and high crown, and wore a jade sword on his waist. He had a dignified appearance. He asked, "Seventh brother, why are you outside?"

When Zhaorui was asked, he seemed a little embarrassed, and muttered: "The master punished me to stay outside, saying that I was active and noisy, which affected others' study."

Zhaoyu seemed to have expected it, and just asked, "A Ling didn't come to school today?"

Sitting by the pool, Zhaorui propped up his knees, picked a lotus flower and played it in his hands, and said casually: "I didn't come today, he lost his soul, and finally got it back, Mrs. Jun won't let him go out."

"Lost soul? What's going on?" Zhaoyu frowned. He inherited his father Rong Guojun's simple materialism and didn't believe in ghosts.

Zhaorui shook his head and said, "I heard that when he was sleeping, his soul turned into a bird and flew away. Dr. Jing had disheveled hair and danced on the top of the tower wearing a feather coat, so he brought his soul back."

"Brother, can people really turn into birds?"

"Brother, can I also become a bird, I want to be a big eagle!"

Although Zhaorui talked nonsense, Zhaozhen seemed to have figured it out, and said to the half-brother: "If you can become a bird, you should also be a phoenix bird."

"Hey, why do you have to become a phoenix bird?" Zhaorui held his fleshy chin and began to think.

Zhaorui has not heard the story of the ancestor Qin Gong who turned into a phoenix bird and met mountain ghosts in Nanshan.

After his brother left, Zhaorui looked up and saw that the surroundings were empty, without a playmate, only the frogs, which seemed a little boring.

Zhaoling stayed in the bedroom, his hair unbraided, wearing light clothes, sitting in front of the desk reading a book.He wears a large jade pendant engraved with charms on his chest. The small red and green beads are paired with suet white jade pendants, making this necklace not hideous because of the charms, but full of beauty.

The pampered little prince, with shoulder-length hair and gorgeous clothes, is as beautiful as a baby girl.

The silk script was spread out on the desk. In Bai Jie's silk script, there were long patterns drawn, with more pictures and less text, telling an easy-to-understand story.Zhaoling didn't look carefully, distracted from time to time, and looked out the window.

The sky outside the window is blue, the sun is shining brightly, and the white clouds are fluttering in the wind.

There is a pair of colorful streamers hanging on the door of the room. Its style is very similar to the robe worn by Wu Jidiao, with bells all over it. When the wind blows, the bells will ring.

The colored streamers are embroidered with the patterns of wizards, beasts and ghosts expelling ghosts, and they are hung at the door to ward off evil spirits.

Zhaoyu walked to the door and was taken aback when he saw the colorful banner, then stopped and shouted to the door: "Ah Ling?"

"Brother?!"

Zhaoling reacted quickly, before the maid had time to lift the colorful flag, Zhaoling had already run to the door.

With a colorful banner above his head, his head was exposed, and he stood in front of Zhaozhen with a wide smile.

"When will elder brother come back! Why don't I know!" Zhao Ling happily opened her arms and hugged Zhao Yu's waist.

He is short in stature, tall and long-legged.

Zhaoyu stroked his little brother's head, and said with a smile: "I arrived in Yindu overnight, I will go to see my father first, and I will come to see you this morning."

Zhaoling raised his head and asked with a smile: "Did you win the battle? Doesn't brother need to go out to fight in the future?"

Zhaoling, who was still young, only heard that his elder brother went out to fight with Sima, but he didn't know who he was fighting with.

"I'm coming back this time, and I'm not in a hurry to go out." Zhaozhen replied while pushing away the colorful banner that was draped over his brother's head.

The colorful flags were really in the way, and Zhaoyu guessed the purpose, so she simply took off the flags and threw them on the ground.

Zhaoyu pulled his younger brother aside, looked from foot to head, his eyes fell on the jade pendant engraved with charms on his younger brother's chest, and asked, "What's going on?"

Looking at the colorful flags on the ground and the maid who was coming to tidy up the colorful flags, Zhao Ling whispered to her elder brother: "Mother is not allowed to take them down, and I am not allowed to leave the house."

There is a ten-year age difference between Zhaoyu and Zhaoling, but their mothers are both Mrs. Xu Ji.

"Witch Que's words are not credible. Throw them away!" Zhaozhen raised his head and gave the order to the maid. His amiable face instantly became majestic when he gave the order.

"Yes, Prince."

The two maids hurriedly took the colorful flags away.

Zhaoling naturally didn't like the colorful banner that trapped him in the room, and was very happy to see the maid taking the colorful banner away.

The two brothers walked out of the dormitory and went outside. Zhaoling breathed the air outside. He opened his arms against the wind, as if he was about to spread the wings of a bird.

It feels so good to be free after being locked in a room for days.

"You had that dream of turning into a bird again?" Zhaozhen roughly guessed what was going on.

Zhaoling's hair and clothes fluttered in the wind, and he felt very comfortable. He responded, "Well! Didn't my brother dream of becoming a bird when he was young?"

"No." Zhaozhen did not, as far as he knew, it seemed that no other Rong Kingdom's royal family had such an experience.

"Doctor Jing said that our ancestor Qin Gong once turned into a phoenix bird, and he also said that the descendants of Qin Gong could become birds a long, long time ago." Zhao Ling thought of Jing Zhongyan's words, and fell into a coma all day After two nights of waking up, Doctor Jing told him the story.

Zhaoyu had naturally heard the legend of Duke Tan turning into a phoenix bird, and because of this, they fused the royal family's crest into a phoenix bird.

Seeing his younger brother flapping his arms as if he were flapping his wings, running in the courtyard, as if he was going to ride the wind, Zhaoti asked, "Is it fun to be a bird?"

"Sometimes it's fun." Zhao Ling folded her arms, stopped running, and returned to her brother.

He sat down beside his elder brother, hugged his arm affectionately, and said, "Brother, a bad snake bit me."

Zhao Ling turned him into a bird in his dream, walked through the mountains and forests, rested on the sycamore tree, was attacked by a snake, and was rescued by someone, and told his brother carefully.

Zhaozhen listened very carefully, and his attitude was not as disapproving as the monarch's, thinking that children have too much imagination; nor was he panicked as Mrs. Xu Ji.

"You can't understand what the boy who saved you said?"

"don't know."

"The boy wears a necklace in the shape of a snake around his neck?"

"Well, a coiled snake with its mouth open and its tongue sticking out."

Zhao Ling picked up a dead branch and drew something on the ground. He obviously didn't have the talent for painting.

"It's interesting..." Zhaozhen narrowed his eyes as if thinking of something.

Rong people don't use snakes as necklaces, except for the Yue people of Yunyue country, who worship snakes.

"Brother, do you know who he is and where he lives?" From Zhao Ling's point of view, the elder brother seems to know everything, and there is nothing in the world that he doesn't know.

"How could you know, you are just a dream." Zhao Yu patted his younger brother on the head.

"If it wasn't a dream, would there really be such a person?" Zhao Ling felt that everything in the dream was so real, the dilapidated thatched cottage, the plane tree, the waterside, and the misty mountain.

They might be real, and so could the boy who saved him.

**

Yue sneaked into the forest to pick up dead branches, he had already picked up quite a lot, and he hugged a large pile with one arm, while picking up firewood, he suddenly straightened up and looked vigilantly at the bushes behind him.

He had very good ears, and he heard the rustling sound in the depths of the forest, and he could tell that it was not the sound of the wind, but a huge monster was crawling and approaching.

The rustle was the sound of scaly bellies rubbing against woodland.

A big snake.

Big snakes have their own territory, and they usually live in remote mountains far away from human beings. This is the only secret of their long life.

A big snake expelled from its original territory will be very hungry and fierce.

Yueqian threw down the dead branch in his arms and held a thick branch tightly in his hand as a weapon. He listened and waited quietly.

If an ordinary person has his hearing and knows that a big snake is approaching him, his reaction will definitely be to run away.

The submerged instinct knows that in this situation, you can't run instead. The running prey will arouse the attack of the big snake, and the speed of human beings is far slower than that of snakes.

"Shasha... Shasha..."

The big snake was getting closer and closer, and while waiting, the submerged guessed its distance, but the big snake suddenly became silent.

Not panicking as he dived, he noticed a pair of lantern-like snake eyes hidden in the grass in front of him, brightly lit, with big and cold pupils exuding an evil aura.

"Hiss..."

The big snake spit out the letter and hissed. It was observing the not tall human being in front of it.

There is smoke rising from the depths of the forest, which is far away but can be seen, as well as the sound of horns and the sound of birds fleeing in all directions.

This is summer hunting, and the ruler of Rongguo is hunting in the distance.

Enclose wooden fences, drive wild animals away with fireworks, and force them to escape into wooden fences, forming a hunting ground.The monarch will drive into the hunting ground with his entourage, throw spears and shoot arrows, chase the prey, kill as much as he wants, and return with a full load.

This dense forest is the garden of the ruler of Rong Kingdom.

Yue Qian withdrew his gaze, calmly looked at the big snake in front of him, and shook the dead branch in his hand vigorously, signaling to go away.

The big snake lurked in the grass, stopped there, and didn't go any further. It sensed danger, and this thin boy exuded a strong dangerous aura.

A more domineering atmosphere that seems to come from the same kind.

This aura troubled the big snake, but it believed in its eyes that it was just a human child in front of it. It didn't even have a bow, arrow or spear in its hand, it was just a branch.

"Hiss~" The big snake raised its head high, its body was almost as thick as a tree trunk, it arched its upper body, making a classic movement before attacking its prey.

The imminent threat of death aroused fierce anger in Yue Qian's heart, he swung the dead branch in his hand vigorously, and shouted angrily: "Go away!"

As soon as the sound fell, the birds and animals in the forest fell silent, like an invisible breath pressing down on Yue Qian's body for several feet, as if even the leaves were affected and trembled slightly.

The big snake flinched, and rolled itself into a circle in horror, it slowly lowered its head towards Yue Qian, and actually made a gesture of submission.

I don't know the years in the mountains, and the big snake has lived a long time, and it already has spirituality.

After the angry shout, Yue Qian felt his back and his arms were hot. It was a painful heat that seemed to be pricked by countless needles at the same time. Large chunks, revealing the pattern emerging on the arm.

The pattern on the arm is a section of the body of a snake, the scales are clearly visible, and it is not an ordinary snake, with a mane growing on the back of the snake.

The big snake escaped without a trace, and the snake patterns that surfaced due to emotional agitation gradually disappeared as the emotion stabilized.He seemed to be used to everything that happened to him, but he was a little annoyed and accidentally scratched his sleeve.

He has no other clothes to change, and his material is quite poor.

"A Qian! A Qian! What happened!"

A man with shaggy hair held a wooden stick in his hand. Hearing the sound, he rushed over with an anxious expression on his face. His clothes were as worn out as Yue Qian's, and he was also barefoot.

The man looked haggard, half of his hair was white, but he should only be in his 40s or [-]s.

"Father Chang, I'm fine." Yue Qian picked up the dead branch, turned around and said to Father Chang.

Yue Qian looked up at the rising smoke in the distance, and said, "Just now a long snake was disturbed down the mountain, and I drove it away."

Father Chang was also looking at the smoke in the distant mountains, with a dignified and anxious expression, he inserted the stone ax into the rattan belt around his waist, and said, "You come back to the house with me, and don't go too far in the next two days."

Not only afraid of the poisonous snakes and beasts in the mountains, but even more afraid of the group of princes and nobles who are hunting.

Yueqian skillfully tied the branches with the rattan, and carried the branches behind his back. He followed Changfu back to their home by the water—a dilapidated small grass house.

One old and one young passed by the sycamore tree with white flowers on its branches, a fat chirp was standing on the branch singing, and when it heard the chirping sound, it glanced upwards and then retracted indifferently.

The branch is a very common tit, not the strange bird with colorful feathers that Yueqian has encountered.
