Awakening of Insects.
The spring thunder sprouts, everything wakes up, and the pinworms are startled and break out of their holes. The silver-clad Beiliang Wangfu has an infinitely beautiful scenery, just like the Wangfu in warm spring and flowers blooming, with thousands of trees, pink peaches and white pears, full of spring. At noon, Xu Fengnian came to the lake alone, rowed to the center of the lake, took off his outer shirt, took a deep breath, and jumped into the secluded green lake.
This lake has running water, which is far clearer than ordinary lakes. Xu Fengnian dived breathlessly and pierced into the lake, but there was still a distance from the bottom of the lake. He resurfaced and dived again. At the bottom of the lake, I just dived down in one go. The lake is quite deep. Logically speaking, the slightly deeper lake bottom should be smeared with fingers and you can’t see anything. A huge luminous pearl shone brightly like daytime. Xu Fengnian held his breath and floated under the water. The scene in front of him is enough to write into any novel about ghosts and monsters that would shock the common people in the market: a "Shui Kui" who is about ten feet tall sits cross-legged in the mud, with white hair like water plants, Slowly swaying, Shui Kui is physically strong with his eyes closed. With the light from the goose egg-sized luminous pearl, it can be vaguely seen that Shui Kui's left hand and feet are imprisoned by three arm-thick iron chains. A heavy iron ball.
Is there a prison in the world that is more unbelievable and cruel than this
Shui Kui opened his eyes, without any emotion, and looked at the only living person he could see in more than ten years.
Xu Fengnian made a gesture, probably meaning to throw the cooked meat down later.
The huge monster opened its mouth and sucked a koi into its mouth, biting it directly, the blood of the koi leaked out from its mouth, and after a few effort, the whole fat red carp fell down.
Xu Fengnian's face turned red and green, he couldn't hold on for long, he hesitated, and then made a series of gestures that only he and Hu Kui could understand.
The old man who looked more like a monster than a living person stared at Xu Fengnian with wide eyes, his eyes were sharp, and he stared straight at Xu Fengnian, as if he was doubting and judging. After being isolated for a long time, the old man's thinking seemed very slow, but Xu Fengnian was Can't wait anymore, swish up, otherwise you will die young and float your corpse on the lake. Climbed into the boat, the water was actually not cold, the coldest thing was the moment when he got out of the water, Xu Fengnian wiped his body, put on his clothes, there was a stove in the boat, it was quite warm, Xu Fengnian waited for a while, the lake surface was as calm as a mirror, he felt a little regretful, Withdrawing his gaze, he glanced at the Chunlei dagger presented by Bai Huer's face, put it across his knees, stroked the scabbard, and sighed: "Miss Chunlei, it seems that you are useless. The old ghost is willing to stay at the bottom Turtle, let's see if I will give him meat in the future."
When he was young, Xu Fengnian had spasms from playing in the water, and almost sank to the bottom of the lake. The old man who ate live fish at the bottom of the lake day after day, year after year, did not swallow Xu Fengnian alive, but used his magical powers to entrust His Royal Highness After that, Xu Fengnian developed the habit of throwing cooked meat into the lake as a way of repaying his gratitude. When he was in a bad mood, he would also dive into the bottom of the lake. Looking at the old man sitting at the bottom of the lake, he would feel that life is actually very beautiful. At the beginning, he regarded Lao Kui as a demon condemned by God, but when he grew up, he realized that he was a human being and needed to eat, but Xu Fengnian couldn't figure out how to breathe at the bottom of the lake for more than ten years? Won't you suffocate? Then to what extent is his inner strength so thick and frightening
For this reason, Xu Fengnian specially went to Chaoting to search through ancient martial arts books about Guanxi. He only found the word "fetal breath" in the Taoist secret scriptures which was relatively consistent. An expert can achieve such a wonderful "Xuanwu samadhi". In the eyes of His Royal Highness who does not have a good impression of Taoists, Daozang's so-called "the pulse stops and the qi stops and the fetus begins to end" and "if you want to live forever, the spirit and energy will flow together" are just hypotheses. Using the words of immortals to deceive the world, Master Li Yishan even made it clear that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, and the Taoist celestial master Bigu has reached the extreme for three years, and there is absolutely no possibility of riding a dragon and a crane to become a flying fairy.
His Royal Highness, who went away on a whim but returned in disappointment, went ashore with Chunlei in his arms, cut off four or five willow branches full of yellow buds with a knife, wrapped them around, put them on his head, and flicked the sheathed Chunlei, Take a stroll.
Outside the palace, a handsome man with a face like peach petals cast a famous thorn. The concierge of the Wangfu had already practiced his sharp eyes, and he immediately weighed the weight of the famous thorn of Lantian Yuhua in his hand. He lowered his head and took a closer look. Young master, this family is not considered a powerful family in the dynasty, but it has some connections with the family. The eldest son of the Lin family had a chance to marry back the eldest princess, so the concierge did not dare to neglect, restrained the initial indifference, smiled slightly, let The young master will wait a moment and report immediately. Passed up layer by layer, and finally arrived at the second housekeeper Song Yu, and after a little thought, he decided on the same hospitality standard as Governor Zhou Mu. Soon, someone courteously led Mr. Lin and a weak lady into the mansion. A scene, delicate body and bones, not extremely beautiful, but the aura of the body is a charm that is rarely seen in the sturdy folk customs. I don't know if he is weak or the leader is walking too fast. There is a trace of sweat oozing from the smooth forehead. The young master felt distressed when he saw it, but he really didn't have the courage to mention it to the steward of the mansion. The Lin family of Qiaoguo in Hedong could not stand out in a county. It was really not worth mentioning against a whale-like behemoth like the king's mansion of Shangbeiliang. As the saying goes, the prime minister concierge The governor of the palace of the third grade official, the staff of the royal palace, even though he passed the exam last year and saw all the flowers in the capital on a horseback ride with the No. 2 champion, how could he dare to make a mistake when he came to the palace of Beiliang.
The second-class steward led them to the Fengyi Hall and walked along the path by the lake, but Tan Hualang saw a guy who absolutely didn't want to see him, and he saw the guy walking slowly, dressed in brocade and fox fur, very rich, but wearing a willow ring , fooling around, playing with a simple and simple dagger.
The one who can wander around in such a leisurely manner in the strictly hierarchical Beiliang Palace is of course His Royal Highness who plays eagles and dogs and reads forbidden books all day long. When Xu Fengnian saw Lin Tanhua who was thrown into the cesspit by him, he gave the steward a silent look, quickened his pace, and said with a smile: "Tanhua Lang, come to your house to eat rouge? Didn't you have enough for the Lantern Festival?"
Lin Tanhua, who didn't know Xu Feng's details, said nonchalantly, "Who are you?"
Xu Fengnian deliberately put on an arrogant and disgusting person, and said with a face full of embarrassment: "I am the companion of His Royal Highness!"
Lin Tanhua, who thought he had run into a son of an aristocratic family during the Lantern Festival, was relieved and raised his spirits, with an embarrassed look on his face. Although the bastard in front of him is not a descendant of a wealthy family with a lush background, he can get close to His Royal Highness. There are pros and cons, no matter how ignorant Lin Tanhua is. I know eighty-nine. Before he could react, the "companion" who was pretending to be a tiger and bullying others had already stepped forward a few steps, and when he got closer, he looked straight at Sister Fan, completely putting Lin Tanhua aside, and said softly: "Sister Fan, fate, fate , Brother Rong will take you to visit the palace, and you can see the scene of tens of thousands of koi jumping over the Dragon Gate at Chaoting Pavilion."
After saying the polite words, Xu Fengnian reached out to shake Sister Fan's little hand, and Lin Tanhua, who was full of protective spirit, quickly stood between the two of them, glaring at each other.
Xu Fengnian smiled and threatened softly: "If you eat rouge, don't be ignorant of flattery. Since I am the companion of His Royal Highness, it is not difficult to feed you six or seven boxes of rouge, or you can do more to let you eat it." It’s also possible to shut the door, you weigh it!”
Tanhualang's face was pale, but it was rare for a man to refuse to move, which made Xu Fengnian look a little different.
The flamboyant Miss Fan sighed softly, squeezed out a smiling face and said comfortingly, "Brother Lin, it's okay, I've wanted to see the scenery of Tingchao Pavilion for a long time."
Before Xu Fengnian walked with Mei, he quietly hooked his fingers, called the second-class steward to his side, and ordered: "Tell Xu Xiao not to show his head, it will take three or four days to talk about it."
Turning his back to the couple, the steward flattered and whispered: "I know, I know, and I will never miss the important matter of His Royal Highness."
Xu Feng said in a young voice: "I will reward you later."
The steward smiled, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."
Xu Fengnian patted him on the shoulder, and led that little sister Fan, who had entered the tiger's mouth, up to the embankment passing through the lake alone, and even put Liu Huan on her head on his own initiative, throwing a demonstrative look at him. Lin Tanhua was heartbroken.
On the embankment of the lake named Chazi, there are many Yingying Yanyans passing by Xu Fengnian. They are as active as the stewards. With just one look from Xu Fengnian, they know that His Royal Highness is starting to tease the freshly baked girl again.
Not to mention the large number of servants in the Beiliang Prince's Mansion, there are not a small number of Qing guests and celebrities who have received the favor of the Dazhu Kingdom. Wait, there are two first-class girls, one of whom is born with body fragrance, who is dedicated to warming the bed of His Royal Highness, and the other is raising snow-white squirrel falcons for Xu Fengnian. There are four second-class maids, one of whom is proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, especially in beautiful handwriting, and is responsible for adding fragrance to the red sleeves of His Royal Highness, and the other three have also been influenced by strict music, singing and dancing since childhood. The third-class maids do some elegant work of watering flowers and tea stoves, while the fourth-class girls do rough work such as cleaning the yard. These women, except for the big girls who warm the beds, the first-class and the first-class are enchanting and charming, the rest of the girls are also in the seventies. Up and down, if Xu Fengnian wants to eat rouge, he can eat enough at any time.
Seemingly feeling bored, Miss Fan said softly: "Master uses a knife?"
Xu Fengnian said without shame, "Ten years of hard work on swordsmanship, only a small success in swordsmanship."
In order to prove that he has practiced swords for many years, Xu Fengnian made a powerful move that swept away thousands of troops, but he accidentally threw Chun Lei out and almost fell into the lake. She smiled slightly, tilted her head and glanced into the distance understandingly, Xu Fengnian picked up the sacred sword that was unloved by others, and after a haha, she didn't feel ashamed, explaining that she made a mistake. Arriving at the base of Tingchao Pavilion, Ms. Fan looked at the three plaques under the eaves. They were the Nine Dragon plaques inscribed by the former emperor, "Great and Majestic", and "You Feng Lai Yi" and "Qi Chong Bull Fighting" written by everyone. On the contrary, she was not very moved by the gorgeous scene of the koi throwing the bait and tumbling, which was not in line with those daughters who were kidnapped by Xu Fengnian in the past.
Xu Fengnian thought it would be better to be different, shark's fin and bird's nest are always unappetizing, and occasionally some autumn sea bass and winter bamboo shoots can be appetizing.
Just when Xu Fengnian was secretly admiring the beautiful face of the girl around him, he was born with a vision, and the lake boiled up and down, exactly the same as the day when it was snowing heavily. After finishing these, Xu Fengnian hurriedly ran to the small ferry where the black canopy boat was parked, and jumped onto the boat with the Spring Thunder Knife that cut iron like mud. Just as he was about to row the boat, he saw Lao Huang rushed over with his old body as thin as a bamboo pole shaking, even carrying the long cloth bag that made Xu Fengnian suffer so much. Inside was a nearly four-foot red sandalwood box. Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes. Why is Lao Huang joining in the fun? If the old man at the bottom of the lake turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone, will the master and servant start to slip faster than anyone else
When Lao Huang got into the boat, Xu Fengnian rowed towards the center of the lake with sweaty palms.
His Royal Highness's gambling products have always been good, this time he will bet big!
