fishing dragon

The intricate pictures swam past his eyes like a kaleidoscope, fleeting.

Yu Xia saw a scholar in Tsing Yi standing with a scroll, and opposite him was a woman in a pink shirt writing poems at her desk.The scholar was dressed simply, but the girl was wearing a pearl shirt, with a gold butterfly hairpin shining brightly in her hair.

The woman in the pink shirt pointed to a word and asked, "Sir, how do you pronounce this word?"

Her fingertips are like pale pink flower buds, tapping lightly on the paper.

The scholar in Tsing Yi shifted his gaze to the words, paused, and looked at the woman in pink.He didn't answer.

"'This love can be regarded as a reminiscence, but it was already lost at the time'—this word reads 'love', doesn't it?" Jiaohan, "Sir, I have feelings for you."

The screen changed again, but the scholar in Tsing Yi was standing alone.He looks much older than in the previous scene, and his expression is dazed.

There was a servant beside him: "Sir, girl, she can't wait any longer."

The scholar in Tsing Yi seemed to have just recovered, and said: "Wait?...Oh, oh...Then, I don't have to teach her anymore?"

The servant looked funny, but also wanted to sigh: "Sir, the girl is married and a woman, so it is logical that she should not see her husband again."

"...Okay." The scholar in Tsing Yi lowered his eyes, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Say hello to your girl and that... merchant young master for me, I wish you two harmony and harmony, and raise your eyebrows."

"Sir." The boy sighed, "Girl also asked me to ask you a question. 'Have you ever regretted anything, sir?'"

The scholar in Tsing Yi stared at him for a while, then turned his eyes away: "I'm three feet down in Tsing Yi, and I come from a humble background. It's a blessing to be appreciated by a girl and call him 'Mr.'. What regrets?"

"Fine." said the boy, hesitant to speak.After a while, he took out something from his sleeve, which was the gold butterfly hairpin, "This is what the girl asked me to give to you."

As the setting sun slanted, the servant's chariot and horse had gone far away.And the scholar in Tsing Yi was still looking down at the golden butterfly hairpin.

The scene fades away, and the picture comes to a lush greenery.

Yu Xia saw that the scholar in Tsing Yi had built a hut in the mountains, and it looked like he had settled down for a long time.His figure seemed to be a lot stronger, but there was a mess of stubble around his lips, which made him look a bit depressed.

The man in Tsing Yi seemed to have just returned and saw a letter at the door.He stopped and opened the letter.

With a "pop", the letter fell to the ground, and the man in Tsing Yi was shocked.The astonishment gradually turned into panic and pain. He stumbled back to the door and sat down on the ground.

The next scene is a man in Tsing Yi walking among mountains and forests.

Holding the hairpin tightly in his hand, he seemed to have lost his soul and walked only with his mind.This is the way out of the mountain, Yu Xia thought, is he going to see the girl in the pink shirt?

However, Yu Xia saw the man in Tsing Yi walk to the gap.He didn't see his feet clearly, stepped on the air, and fell down.And below is the bottomless pool, which is also his burial place.

……

The screen disappears.In the darkness, Yu Xia seemed to vaguely see a blue light, which was gorgeous and dazzling, as if there was a ferocious beast chanting in her ears.

When Yu Xia woke up, there was still a faint emotion in her heart.

"This feeling can be turned into a memory, but it was already at a loss"... The seven-year-old Yu Xia still didn't understand this emotion, but felt very blocked in her heart.

"Wow!" Xiaolong's face enlarged and appeared in front of his eyes, and his tail shook him with water drops.

"Huh? Where am I?" Yu Xia suddenly recovered from her sleepwalking, sat up, and found that she had landed on the shore, her whole body was wet, and the hairpin was no longer in her hand.

Yu Xia tilted her head. For some reason, she felt that Xiaolong seemed to have changed a little... Was his scales this color before?Now under the sun, his scales seemed to have lost the gray haze, revealing a jewel-like halo.

"Roar!" Xiaolong bit his sleeve, Yu Xia jumped up, looked around, and realized that she was not by the pool, but by a stream.

Before he could figure it out, another irritable voice came to his ears: "You kid, you know how to run around all day long! You just agree to other people's requests casually, and you won't even know if you're sold out!"

The old man Huaipu sat on the tree, especially puzzled, he threw a fruit with his backhand: "You bastard!"

"Ouch!" Yu Xia knew something was wrong, and exclaimed exaggeratedly, but quickly avoided Guo Zi's attack.He clasped his hands together with a smile, and bowed twice flatteringly, "Master, I was wrong. So... how did I get here?"

"You were sucked into the vortex under the pool. Fortunately, the earth-bound spirit had a conscience and gave you another aura. The suction of the vortex was too strong, and his spiritual power was weak, so he had to cast a spell to make you come here directly."

Huai Pu snorted, "You were unconscious, and that loach monster pulled me over. Why is this kid so worried!"

Yu Xia said, "What about the golden hairpin?"

"What kind of golden hairpin!" Huaipu immediately turned his head up angrily, "You still care about the golden hairpin?!"

After scolding for a while, Huai Pu said unhappily, "I sent it to the ground binding spirit. I really don't know what he wants this for, and he can't touch it. What are you doing now that you are so worried about it, useless, bah!"

Yu Xia got a satisfactory answer, and began to beg for mercy: "I know I was wrong, and I promise not to be so impulsive next time... Hey! Master, don't carry me like this!"

Huai Pu's left child is right Xiaolong, walking away with one hand in hand while scolding the other: "Go back and settle accounts with you!"

Because of this incident, Yu Xia walked around without daring to touch her master's bad luck for three days in a row.

After another ten days or so, the little dragon began to grow new scales.The new scales are sapphire blue and harder.But put together with the original scales, it becomes a mottled flower snake, which is a bit unbearable to look at.

Ao Yan knew that his refining period was almost over.

He had been aroused underwater before, and past that critical moment, the rest was less dangerous.

On this day, the moon is in the sky.Ao Yan woke up in the middle of the night and had nothing to do, so he stared at the sparrows, feeling bored.Thanks to his blessing, a nest of little sparrows all survived in good health. Yu Xia was so happy that she went to show off in front of the old man for a long time, which made the old man jump in anger.

The sparrow was plump and plump, its breathing fluctuated, Ao Yan watched it for a long time, yawned, half closed his eyes, but suddenly heard Huai Pu's voice: "You are not a loach."

nonsense!

He resisted the urge to roll his eyes, turned his head, and saw Huai Pu standing in front of the door in the moonlight, with an inquiring expression on his face.

"...It's still ugly." Huai Pu approached and looked him up and down, "Your spiritual power background can't be just a loach, but I can't see what you are."

Ao Yan restrained the dragon spirit, the dragons of their age are born with some tricks to protect themselves, it is normal for Huai Pu not to see it.

"No matter what you are, your injury is almost healed now, and you should leave here." Huai Pu said plainly, "When you leave, I will erase your memory and make you forget your experience in Biluo Mountain .”

Ao Yan paused for a moment, which means that he won't remember that child in the future?

A kind of regret flashed from the bottom of his heart, but he did not refute.He could see the subtleties of the Biluo Mountain, and obviously he didn't want outsiders to disturb him.

For a monster with unknown identity and abilities like him, it is normal for Huai Pu to want to erase his memory.Therefore, Ao Yan nodded reservedly.

"When do you want to leave?" Huai Pu said.

Ao Yan said: "Tomorrow."

This was the first time he spoke, but Huai Pu was not surprised that he could speak, but nodded: "Okay."

Huai Pu left the hut, and the room became silent again, except for the chirping of insects outside the hut.Ao Yan turned her head and looked at Yu Xia who was wrapped in a spring roll on the bed.

He took a long breath and didn't hear the conversation.

Ao Yan looked at it for a while, then turned over and fell into the bottom of the stone jar.There, there is a small hook.

The second day, evening.

Ao Yan raised his head from the water, his blue eyes reflected the melting gold of the setting sun.Every leaf of Biluo Mountain is painted orange, and the tired birds return to the forest.

"Don't dawdle, hurry up." Huai Pu urged, sighing slightly, "That little bastard will be back soon...Hmph, you're gone, he's going to mess with me again."

Yu Xia was sent to go fishing, and Ao Yan took advantage of the gap to leave.This sunset scene overlapped with when he came to Biluo Mountain.

"Roar--"

The long chant of the dragon echoed in the mountains, and the birds were startled.The scales all over Ao Yan's body shone with dazzling light for a moment, like a butterfly breaking through its cocoon, covered with bright rays of light, it was so beautiful.The blue dragon jumped up with the hook in its mouth and flew into the sky.

The last time he got into the clouds, he saw a little boy in white clothes like clouds, jumping and running towards him stepping on the stones in the stream, with the magnificent afterglow of the blue mountain behind him.

Eleven-year-old Ao Yan left Dragon Palace, met seven-year-old Yu Xia, and spent his first refining period in Biluo Mountain.

The 15-year-old Yu Xia slipped into the Shanhai Banquet and met the 19-year-old Ao Yan. Xuanyi Faceless and the Golden Ghost in Red spent three days meeting by chance.

The 19-year-old Yu Changle left Biluo Mountain and met the 23-year-old Second Prince Long.This time they remained the same.

Mountains and rivers meet each other, and there must be a time to meet each other.

The hut by the creek has not been taken care of in these years. The two just cleaned it up and finally made it look good again.

During the period, Ao Yan also dug out the stone jar he had stayed in, which was kept under the bed by Yu Xia, covered with a layer of dust, and there was a small bird's nest inside.

After tidying up, Yu Changle lay down on the bed and fell asleep again.

Ao Yan sat by the bed, playing with the fishhook in his hand.The fishhook was soaked in body temperature and was no longer cold. He put it back into the kit bag again, and turned his head to look at the sleeping young man.

Perhaps because of recalling good things, this time Yu Changle slept peacefully, breathing lightly, as long as a cloud.Ao Yan stared at him for a while, and suddenly realized that she was getting closer without knowing it.

The long eyelashes of the young man in white are so close that they can be counted, as if they were drawn on rice paper with the thinnest wolf hair.The two breaths merged, and Ao Yan saw Yu Changle's pale pink lips.

he thinks……

He thought, what to do?

Ao Yan's eyes widened, and he immediately suppressed his overstepping thoughts, but when he stood up, his heart was still beating violently.

If there is a white porcelain teacup containing ice cubed plums, if it is shaken suddenly, the crisp clang echoes even in the heart.

The sun is gradually slanting, shining orange-red window shadows one by one.

Ao Yan sat quietly like a sculpture for a long time, and finally for the first time faced her thoughts squarely and understood her heart.He turned his head, and Yu Changle's long eyelashes were dyed a layer of gold.

Ao Yan stretched out her hand, her slender fingers froze in the air for a long time, and finally just wiped lightly on the lips of the young man in white, like a dragonfly skimming water.

Then, very lightly, she tapped it on her lips.

The world is full of love, but in midsummer white porcelain plum soup, when the broken ice hits a wall, it will clank. —— "Mu Xuanying in Command"

The scene that Yanyan saw before leaving Biluo was mentioned in Chapter 4 ww
