Early the next morning, Tang Jihe sent Hua Jinglan and the others out of Jiuhe City. Before parting, he solemnly asked Hua Jinglan to consider his proposal carefully, and Hua Jinglan reluctantly agreed.
Jiuhe City was getting farther and farther away. Hua Jinglan turned around and pretended to be relaxed: "Where should we go now?"
"How about going to Penglai?" Chunyu Yan said with a smile: "I heard that the scenery in Penglai is as beautiful as a fairyland. Seeing it once is better than hearing it a hundred times."
Three months should be enough for her to live in Penglai for a while.
Hua Jinglan stroked her belly. It was a pity that this child might not be born into the world.
"Lan'er." Chun Yuyan put her hand on hers and gave her strength silently.
Hua Jinglan smiled and shook her head. Suddenly remembering something, she opened the curtain and said to Jin'er outside: "Jin'er, it's almost time to go home when you get here. If you're not in Jiuhe City, just stop in Yuyang City." ?"
Jin'er was very sad, and his eyes were filled with reluctance. He didn't want to be separated from them, but now it was time to separate.
"Yuyang City." He whispered.
Hua Jinglan said "hmm" and lowered the curtain.
Several people on the side looked at Jin'er in surprise, and Haoyue asked: "Jin'er, aren't you an orphan?"
Jin'er shook her head absently, wanting to say something, but finally pursed her lips and swallowed it.
"Tap!" There was a sound of horse hooves running from the front. The bright moon stared at it for a while, then danced happily, "Madam, it's Sister Suhuan! Sister Suhuan is back!"
"Hey!" Mei Er stopped the carriage and opened the curtain to let Hua Jinglan and Chun Yuyan come out.
Hua Jinglan watched Su Huan coming towards her from a distance. Seeing her eyes full of tears but full of excitement, she knew it was good news.
Su Huan jumped off the horse before she could rein in her horse, walked quickly to the carriage, pulled back her veil and said, "Madam, we found Ji Tianyi!"
Everyone was happy, and Chunyu Yan asked: "Where is it?"
"It's in Yuyang City!" Su Huan said with a face full of joy: "It's a coincidence that we have searched so many places in Tianshui Kingdom but there is no news. Who would have thought that he would come to Yuyang under the banner of the Emerald Bird Clan? Yangcheng, we want to participate in Yuyang City’s Hundred Birds Chasing the Phoenix!”
"What is Ji Tianyi's status now?" Hua Jinglan asked.
"Pei You, the master of Orchid Valley." Su Huan said: "There is only one woman beside him. She looks like Huisha, but their faces are different from before."
"It's too easy to change his appearance," Hua Jinglan chuckled, "Or maybe the face that appeared in front of us was not his true face in the first place."
"Let's go to Yuyang City."
"Yes, ma'am!" everyone replied in unison, with great joy.
It took half a day to arrive at Yuyang City. There were lights and colorful decorations inside and outside Yuyang City, and the people were running around telling each other, cheering and cheering. The scene was completely different from that in Jiuhe City.
A bunch of birds fly over Yuyang City from time to time, and you can even see birds as beautiful as the giant phoenix controlled by Lu Xing flying in the sky. People coming and going are holding umbrellas to be careful not to be unclean. Something got wet.
Many people from other countries also came to Yuyang City to see this rare event in a century. Yuyang City was bustling with people, and the horse-drawn carriages passing through the busy city were almost stationary.
"If this continues, it will be dark even when we get to the official residence!" Su Huan said anxiously.
Half of the people who came to participate in the competition this time were arranged in the official residence, and the later ones were arranged in an inn near the official residence. In this way, it was difficult to move even one step, and they might not be able to get there even if it was dark.
"It will only be more lively at night," Su Huan said: "The entertainers can fill up the whole long street."
Birds chirped outside, the sound was clear and sweet. Hua Jinglan held out her lyre and smiled and said: "It is said that the Magpie Bridge is the fairy bridge built by the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet each other. Today, let this Magpie Bridge be erected on the long street to clear the way for us."
"Zheng!" There was a sound, and the sound of the piano flew out of the carriage and hovered in the air.
The sound of the piano is pleasant and melodious, causing people around to look at each other frequently. People who use music to control the beasts each hold a musical instrument, and there are also many harps. However, such clear and crisp music is rarely heard. Not to mention birds, it is people. I also feel drunk after hearing it.
"Chirp!"
"Chirp!"
"嘤嘤!"
Birds gathered together, and birds of various colors as big as sparrows gathered in the air to form a long moving bridge, extending from a distance, like a long dragon flying in the air, and then swooping down, seemingly about to hit the roof of the Qingsha carriage. on the carriage, but all of them were flexible, turned the corner in the air, rushed out from the front of the carriage, and passed by the crowd!
The sound of the piano is constant, and so are the birds, flying extremely fast. From a distance, they appear to be densely packed and twisted into one in the air.
"I have never seen so many birds!" Someone in the crowd asked in surprise: "Are there such birds in the woods near here?!"
"It's so beautiful, just like a magpie bridge!" The child jumped up and clapped his hands.
Where the magpie bridge passed, people gradually separated, and the birds flew lower and lower, almost as close as adults, flying calmly and unhurriedly, as if they had a sense of human nature, and penetrated the entire long street.
"You can go now." Hua Jinglan fiddled with the strings and said softly.
Mei Er set up the carriage, and a group of dozens of people followed the team of birds through the long street safely.
As the long street passed, the sound of the piano also changed, seeming a little muffled, as if saying goodbye to these thousands of birds.
With a "boom", the birds dispersed and filled the entire sky. They circled around Hua Jinglan's carriage twice and then flew away together!
Such spiritual scenes are rare. Even when the birds flew away, everyone was still looking at the sky. When he looked back, the green gauze carriage had already gone away.
As soon as they arrived at Shangyang Street, Tianshui Kingdom, which specially welcomed people participating in the competition, came out. Seeing that there were many people in Hua Jinglan and his party, they led them inside. The inn near the official residence was slightly larger.
"Madam, are we going to participate in this Birds of the Phoenix?" Su Huan asked quietly from the side.
The veil covered her face but not her smart eyes. Hua Jinglan smiled slyly, "Who said I wanted to participate?"
"Then...!" Su Huan was startled, then came to her senses, smiled knowingly, and followed her into the inn without asking any more questions.
The inn is not small. There is a square lobby in the center of the entrance. A square carpet embroidered with birds is spread in the center, but there are no tables. There are stairs on three sides of the carpet, which can lead to the second floor. Behind the stairs on the first floor and on the second floor, there are tables of the Eight Immortals, with many people eating and drinking.
The person who led the way arranged their accommodation, registered their names, and then left. Su Huan made up a tribe of birds and beasts, gave them the name "Mrs. Lan" and sent them away.
As soon as the group sat down and ordered some food, Lu Xing walked in from the outside with a big smile. His clothes were still a little messy. He cupped his hands and bowed to Hua Jinglan, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Mrs. Lan is here and well!"
"Hello, Mr. Lu." Hua Jinglan turned her eyes to the people beside him, "Who are these...?"
Lu Xing patted his head and said, "Look at me, I'm so happy to meet old friends!"
"Guys, this is Mrs. Lan I told you. Just now on the long street, several of you have also seen the Magpie Bridge Party. It is indeed extraordinary." Lu Xing said, turning to Hua Jinglan and said: " Mrs. Lan, this is Duan Moyan, the leader of the Great Eagle Clan."
"Gong Hailan, the leader of the Giant Eagle Clan, and Pei You, the leader of the Emerald Bird Clan."
Hua Jinglan's eyelashes trembled slightly when she heard the last name. She gently put down the teacup in her hand and scanned the people introduced by Lu Xing one by one.
"I have long admired Madam's name!" The person who spoke was Duan Moyan. He had a rough face, resolute brows, and a very penetrating voice. He was dressed in black and the material was medium.
Gong Hailan, who was wearing a long aqua dress, was also full of happiness. "Madam's Magpie Bridge Immortal made Hailan amazed."
Gong Hailan has an elegant figure, a brand new dress, and a very simple hairpin, but her movements are very well-educated.
Then there was Pei You. He held a folding fan in his hand, cupped his hands and said: "Madam's Magpie Bridge Immortal is beautiful, but they are untamed wild birds. I'm afraid they will not be able to reach the level of elegance!"
Hua Jinglan looked at him calmly. This aura was definitely that of Ji Tianyi. Although his voice had changed and his appearance had changed, his eyes had not changed. He was probably laughing at himself behind his back now. He didn't know that Mei Er knew his true identity, and thought they didn't know him at all.
Everyone on Hua Jinglan's side had their own thoughts, but no one said anything. This man was holding their throats, and he was really too careless.
"Brother Pei's words are wrong." Lu Xing said: "It is precisely because wild birds are difficult to tame that it becomes even more obvious that Mrs. Lan is exceptionally talented, putting people like you and me who have practiced this way since childhood to shame."
"Hai Lan really likes Madam's song Magpie Bridge", Gong Hailan said with a smile: "When Madam is free someday, I hope Madam will give you some advice."
"As Mr. Pei said, small skills cannot be compared with those of you." After Hua Jinglan said this, she turned to Chun Yuyan, "Mr. Sir, I'm a little tired."
"I'll help you back to your room." Chun Yuyan finished speaking softly, then nodded lightly to everyone, "I'm sorry."
