The first time I saw her was about thirteen hundred years ago.
At that time, I had just turned 100 years old, and because of some reasons, I was elected as the Lishui Dragon King.
For human beings, the name Dragon King sounds majestic, as if the life and death of human beings by the rivers and lakes can be decided with a single gesture... Well, this is also the case, but in fact, while we have gained rights, we have also assumed many responsibilities Responsibilities, and subject to the jurisdiction of heaven, bound by many heavenly rules and regulations.
Although it may be my delusion, the immortals seem to control the dragons on the one hand, allowing us to be the gods of rivers and lakes, in charge of the world's water systems, but on the other hand, they hate the dragons and require us with various strict rules. Violation of the rules will usher in strict punishment.
The most simple and intuitive one is that there are no permanent dragon clan immortal officials in the heavenly court.
Of course, this kind of thinking seems to be a bit outrageous, so I haven't talked to anyone about it.
To be honest, when I first arrived in Lishui and started to work as the Dragon King, I was not able to take on this responsibility well because of my lack of mana and lack of experience. Every time it rained or adjusted the water level, I was trembling , for fear of doing something wrong, like his uncle Jinghe Dragon King, who was cut down by humans in his dream.
Even if I think about it now, that time is still fresh in my memory.
…
"You have lived for more than a hundred years, and you can't even make a cloud or rain. Have you lived on a dog all these years?" Xu Shenxing looked contemptuously at the squatting in front of him, with a nostalgic expression on his face. Lishui Dragon King, who told the story of the past: "How dare you call yourself a dragon clan? Shame on you, get out of the group."
"Don't make trouble, I don't believe you can control how much you pee every time."
The other party snorted, and then retorted: "Our dragon clan's ability to make clouds and rain is also an instinctive talent. It has almost the same meaning, and of course it's not that easy to control."
"Since you don't tell others about this, why did you tell me?" Xu Shenxing was as straightforward as ever, not wanting to think too much about the thought-provoking matter of "rain in the sky and dragon urine have almost the same meaning". changed the subject.
"Of course it's because you're just a mortal."
Lishui Dragon King, who couldn't feel the divine power, immortal energy and demonic power from Xu Shenxing, replied carelessly: "Even if your fists are powerful, you are only a mortal and cannot reach the heavenly court. Since you cannot reach the heavenly court, then naturally you can't sue me for being black." , Hey, I don't believe you can jump into the sky!"
So Xu Shenxing began to seriously consider whether he should jump to the Heavenly Court after listening to the story to see what it looks like there...
Probably misunderstood the reason for Xu Shenxing's silence, Lishui Dragon King smiled slightly, and then continued to tell his past love story.
…
In fact, the following story is not too special, just like the unfolding in many story books, I met her at a banquet.
I don't know the reason why Xiangzhu became a god, but when she became a land, according to human calculation, she was only sixteen years old! And her father is just a mortal who can't help him in anything, so he borrowed her light to come to the place where the dragon clan and various little gods have banquets to eat and drink.
What surprised me even more was that she did a very good job as a land god. It is said that what was originally just a small fishing village, under her meticulous care, has already faintly had the atmosphere that can only be found in a county town, and this kind of prosperity The development has not stopped, and continues to grow slowly and steadily!
Unlike me, she is quite a gifted person.
It’s just that the circle of land gods seems quite exclusive. The girl was not accepted by other land or mountain gods, so she could only eat and drink alone in the palace hall made of pearls and crystals. At that time, I was also unhappy because of my work. , not in the mood to have fun with other dragon compatriots.
In the end guess what? She thought I was an isolated person just like her, and came to me on her own initiative.
In fact, at that time, I still had the arrogance of the dragon clan. At first, I couldn’t let go of the fact that she was just a human being, but as the chat deepened, I gradually realized that she was different from the greedy and stupid humans I knew. Lan Xin is smart and kind, and she is a top-notch girl.
So we two rookies had a good chat and regarded each other as confidants.
She can solve some problems I encountered at work with a few words, and she is not arrogant. Unlike other land gods whose heads are about to turn into stone, she is a very interesting person.
If I think about it now, maybe I've fallen in love with her since then.
It may be that I was too involved when talking with her. My father, the Lord of the East China Sea, mistakenly thought that I fell in love with her, so he decided to make a marriage with the other party's father—it's ridiculous, her father actually paid for her I am very happy to be able to catch the line of the Dragon Clan, and feel that I have taken advantage of it.
But I know very well that I'm actually the one who's overrated, and I'm not good enough for her.
After knowing this, I have to say that I was still mostly happy in my heart, and vowed to become a dragon worthy of her.
To be honest, I wouldn't force her to marry me if she didn't agree—
But I never thought that she would fall in love with a mortal!
After I came out of the land shrine that day, I also felt that something was wrong. Her attitude towards you is not like a lover, but no different from ordinary guests, but it is true that she is a little different from before, so I just activated Lishui's aquarium and asked them to help me find clues.
Finally, I saw it.
On a stone bridge in the suburbs, she bid farewell to that mortal scholar.
…
When he said this, Lishui Dragon King sighed, his face was distressed: "Human, do you have any wine?"
"No." Xu Shenxing shook his head: "It's not a good thing to be greedy for what's in the cup, so I don't drink."
By the way, the main reason for not drinking is that there is no money to buy alcohol.
"But didn't you human beings say it? Getting drunk can relieve a thousand worries... Alas, it's a pity that human wine is too weak. I drank a whole wine cellar and couldn't get drunk." Lishui Dragon King shook his head and sighed.
"Have you paid?"
"What is money?"
Then don't drink up! The owner of the wine cellar is about to cry!
"To be honest, at that moment, I really wanted to directly set off a big wave and drown that scholar." Not paying attention to Xu Shenxing's constipated face, Lishui Dragon King just continued: "However, seeing Xiangzhu's appearance , I knew... not only would it be impossible to get her heart back, but it would also make her suffer for hundreds, even thousands of years... "
He walked down to the ground in despair, and the expression on his face had become that hopeless look: "I don't want to see her in pain."
"Ask what love is in the world, and teach the dragon to promise life and death..."
Xu Shenxing murmured involuntarily.
"Good poem! Just this poem is worthy of my praise!" Lishui Dragon King laughed, and the bitterness in his words was full: "Go, I know that the owner of the wine cellar secretly changed a place and dug a new one. Cellar, let's taste the new wine inside, drink it up!"
"..."
So don't drink up!
