Chapter 12 There is an old chief in the lake(1/2)

Jingzhe arrived.

Spring thunder sprouts, all things awaken, and hibernating insects break through the ground and come out of the cave. The scenery of the Northern Liang Palace, covered with silver, is beautiful, and the scenery is as beautiful as the royal palace with spring flowers. Thousands of trees, pink peaches and white pears, are full of spring.

At noon, Xu Fengnian came to the lakeside alone, rowed to the center of the lake, took off his shirt, took a deep breath, and jumped into the secluded green lake.

This lake is full of living water, and Jingzhe has arrived.

Spring thunder sprouts, all things awaken, and hibernating insects break through the ground and come out of the cave. The scenery of the Northern Liang Palace, covered with silver, is beautiful, and the scenery is as beautiful as the royal palace with spring flowers. Thousands of trees, pink peaches and white pears, are full of spring.

At noon, Xu Fengnian came to the lakeside alone, rowed to the center of the lake, took off his shirt, took a deep breath, and jumped into the secluded green lake.

This lake is lively water, much clearer than ordinary lakes. Xu Fengnian held his breath and dived into the lake, but he was still a little far from the bottom of the lake. He floated back to the surface and dived again. After three or four times, he was very sure to rush to the bottom of the lake, and then dived in one go.

The lake is quite deep. Logically speaking, the bottom of the lake is slightly deeper and you should not see any scene no matter what. But the mystery lies in this lake that regularly removes silt. There is a huge night pearl at the bottom of the lake at the center of the lake, illuminating a bright light like daytime.

Xu Fengnian worked hard to hold his breath and floated under the water. The scene before his eyes was enough to write any monster novel that shocked the people in the city:

A "Shui Kui" who was about ten feet tall sat cross-legged in the mud, with white hair shaped like a water grass, slowly swaying. Shui Kui, who closed his eyes and entered into a state of meditation, was strong. With the light emitted by the peacock's egg-sized night pearls, it was vaguely visible that Shui Kui's left hand and feet were imprisoned by three iron chains as thick as arms, and three iron balls weighing thousands of pounds were poured into the end of the chain.

Is there any prison in this world that is even more incredible and cruel than this?

Shuikui opened his eyes, looking at the only living person he could see in more than ten years without any emotion.

Xu Fengnian made a gesture, which probably meant to throw the cooked meat down later.

The huge monster opened his mouth and sucked a koi into his mouth, and then bitten it directly, and the blood of the koi oozed out of his mouth. After a few efforts, the whole fat red carp fell into his stomach.

Xu Fengnian's face turned red and blue. She couldn't hold on for long. After hesitating for a while, she made a series of gestures that only he and Hu Kui knew.

Lao Kui, who was more like a demon than a living person, widened his eyes, staring at Xu Fengnian with his eyes as if he was staring at him, as if he was suspicious and judging.

After years of isolation from the world, Lao Kui's thinking seemed very slow, but Xu Fengnian couldn't wait any longer and rushed up, otherwise he would die young and float on the lake.

When I climbed onto the boat, the water was not cold. The coldest thing was when I came out of the water. Xu Fengnian wiped his body and put on his clothes. There was a stove inside the boat, which was quite warm.

Xu Fengnian waited for a while, and the lake was as calm as a mirror. He was a little regretful. He withdrew his gaze and glanced at the short sword of the spring thunder given by the white fox's face. He placed it horizontally on his knees, stroked the scabbard, and sighed: "Daughter of Chunlei, it seems that you have no use of your skills. The old ghost is willing to stay underneath as a turtle, and see if I will give it to him if I will give it to him in the future."

When he was young, Xu Fengnian had cramps while playing in the water, and almost sank the body at the bottom of the lake. The old Kui, who was feeding on live fish at the bottom of the lake day after day, did not swallow Xu Fengnian alive, but used his magical powers to lift His Royal Highness out of the bottom of the lake.

After that, Xu Fengnian developed the habit of throwing cooked meat into the lake, which is considered to be a reward for his kindness. When he is in a bad mood, he will also sneak into the bottom of the lake. If he looks at the old Kui who is sitting at the bottom of the lake, he will feel that life is actually very beautiful.

At first, he regarded Lao Kui as a demon and monster who was punished by heaven. When he grew up, he realized that he was a person and needed to eat. However, Xu Fengnian had been unable to understand how to breathe for more than ten years at the bottom of the lake? He would not suffocate to death? Then what level was his internal strength so strong that he was so horrible?

For this reason, Xu Fengnian went to Chaoting to read through ancient martial arts books with closed breath. He only found that the word "fetal breath" in Taoist secret scriptures was relatively consistent. However, Xu Fengnian was not unfamiliar with Wudang Mountain, and he had never heard of any master in the mountain who could achieve such a wonderful "Xuanwu Ding".

In the view of His Royal Highness, who has no good impression of Taoist priests, the words "The pulse of the qi is stopped and the fetus is broken" and "If you want to live forever, your spirit is poured out" are just to deceive the world by using the words of immortals. Master Li Yishan even clearly stated that there are no ghosts and gods in the world. The Taoist Tianshi has been fasting for three years, and there is no possibility of riding a dragon and a crane to turn into a flying immortal.

His Royal Highness, who was in despair, took the spring thunder and went to the shore with the spring thunder, drew his sword and cut down four or five willow branches full of yellow buds, surrounded it, put it on his head, and shook the spring thunder that was returning to the sheath, strolling in the garden.

Outside the palace, a handsome brother with a peach-like face cast a famous thorn. The gatekeeper of the palace had already developed a golden eye. He immediately weighed the weight of the beautiful famous thorn in Lantian Yuhua. He looked down and saw that he was a young master from the Lin family of Qiao Country, Hedong.

This family is not a front-line family in the dynasty, but it has some connections with the mansion. The eldest son of the Lin family had the opportunity to marry Princess Leong, so the concierge did not dare to neglect it, restrained his first coldness, smiled slightly, and asked the young master to wait and report it immediately.

After handing over the layers, he finally arrived at the second housekeeper Song Yu. After a little thought, he decided to make the same hospitality specifications as the governor, Zhou Mu.

Soon someone took the young master of the Lin family and a weak lady into the mansion. Along the way, the girl became a scene invisibly. Her delicate body was not very beautiful, but the gas on her body was a rare charm of the cool place with a strong folk custom.

I don’t know if I was weak or the person who led the way was walking too fast, and a trace of sweat oozing from my smooth forehead. Mr. Lin felt distressed, but he really didn’t have the courage to mention it to the manager in the mansion.

The Lin family in Qiao State in Hedong was still unable to stand out in a county. It is really not worth mentioning against a giant like a whale-rock mansion like the Beiliang Palace. As the saying goes, the third-rank official of the Prime Minister's Office, the governor of the Prince's Office. Even though he passed the Tanhua exam last year, he rode a horse to see all the flowers in the capital in one day, but when he arrived at the Beiliang Palace, he dared not be arrogant.

The second-class manager led them to Fengyi Hall and walked along the lakeside path. As a result, Tanhualang met a guy he absolutely did not want to see.

The man walked slowly, wearing brocade clothes and fur, and was extremely rich, but he wore willow rings on his head, and was playing with a simple short knife.

Those who can wander around in the highly hierarchical Beiliang Palace are of course the prince who plays eagle fighting dogs and reads ** all day long. When Xu Fengnian saw Lin Tanhua who was thrown into the cesspool by him, she gave the manager a silent look, speeded up her pace, and said with a smile: "Tanhualang, come to the mansion to eat rouge? Didn't you eat enough on the Lantern Festival?"

Lin Tanhua, who didn't know how to get to know Xu Fengnian, stumbled and said, "Who are you?"

Xu Fengnian deliberately made a arrogant and disgusting style, pretending to be garlic and said, "I am the companion of His Highness the Prince!"

I thought Lin Tanhua, who had met a local snake from a noble family, was angry and cheered up on the Lantern Festival. She looked awkward. Although the bastard in front of me was not a descendant of a wealthy family with lush backgrounds, he was close to His Royal Highness. Lin Tanhua was still aware of the benefits and interests of the world.

Before he could react, the "companion reading" who pretended to be a tiger and bullied people had already taken a few steps forward, and looked straight at Sister Fan when he got closer, completely hanging Lin Tanhua aside, and said softly: "Sister Fan, fate, Brother Rong will take you to visit the royal palace, and you can see tens of thousands of koi jumping over the dragon gate in the Chaoting Pavilion."

After saying the polite words, Xu Fengnian reached out to hold Sister Fan's little hand. Lin Tanhua, who was full of courage to protect the flowers, quickly blocked the two of them and looked at each other with glaring.

Xu Fengnian smiled and threatened softly, "Don't be rude to the goods that eat rouge. Since I am the prince's companion, it is not difficult to feed you six or seven boxes of rouge, or if you put in some effort, it is possible to get you turned away. You can think about it!"

Tanhualang's face was pale, but it was rare for a man to refuse to move, which made Xu Fengnian look at him with admiration.

The romantic-looking lady named Fan sighed softly, squeezed out a smile and comforted her: "Brother Lin, it's okay, I've long wanted to see the scenery of Tingchao Pavilion."

Before Xu Fengnian and Mei walked with her, she quietly hooked her fingers, called the second-class manager to her side, and ordered: "Let Xu Xiao not show up, let me spend three or four days talking about it."

He whispered in a flattering manner to the manager of the young lady, "I know, I will never miss the great affairs of His Royal Highness."

Xu Feng said in a young voice: "Let's go back and give you a reward."

The manager laughed and said, "Thank you Your Highness to give me a reward."

Xu Fengnian patted his shoulder and took Sister Fan, who was alone in the tiger's mouth, to the lake tilt that passed through the lake. He even took his own initiative to put Liu Huan on her head, throwing a demonstrative look at her heartbroken Lin Tanhua.

There were many Yingying and Yanyan passing by Xu Fengnian on the lake dam named Cai Zi. They were as active as managers. Xu Fengnian looked at him and knew that His Royal Highness had started teasing the freshly released girl again.

Not to mention the many servants in the Northern Liang Palace, there are not a small number of Qing Guests and famous scholars who have received the favor of the Great Pillar Kingdom. They each gave advice to the Northern Liang Palace in the other courtyards.

The maids and maids in Wutongyuan where Xu Fengnian lives are divided into four classes. There are two first-class maids, one of whom is born with a body fragrance and specially warms the bed for His Royal Highness the Prince, and the other raises the snow-white spear falcon for Xu Fengnian.

There are four second-class girls, one of whom is skilled in poetry, calligraphy and painting, especially writing beautifully, and is responsible for adding fragrance to His Royal Highness the perfect starry sky. The other three have also been influenced by strict music, singing and dancing since childhood.

The third-class girl did some elegant jobs to water flowers and tea stoves, and the fourth-class girl did rough work such as cleaning the yard. These women, except for the big girl who warmed the bed, were first-class and charming, and the rest of her beauty was around 70 months. If Xu Fengnian wanted to eat rouge, she could eat enough at any time.

As if he felt bored, Miss Fan said softly: "Young Master uses the knife?"

Xu Fengnian said shamelessly: "I have practiced sword skills for ten years, and I have achieved some success in my sword skills."

In order to prove that he had been practicing swords for many years, Xu Fengnian made a powerful move to sweep away the troops, but accidentally threw the spring thunder out and almost fell into the lake.

She smiled and tilted her head in understanding to glance in the distance. Xu Fengnian picked up the holy product of the knife that she met was wrong, and beat her, but she didn't feel embarrassed. She explained that she was wrong.

When she arrived at the base of the Tingchao Pavilion, Miss Fan looked at the three plaques under the eaves, which were the "Kui-Magic" plaques written by the late emperor, and "Youfeng Laiyi" and "Qi Chong Bullfighting" written by everyone. Instead, she was not very moved by the gorgeous scene of throwing down the bait koi, which was not very consistent with the daughters who were abducted by Xu Fengnian in the past.

Xu Fengnian thought it would be better to have a different meaning. He always had a shark fin bird’s nest, and occasionally he could get some autumn bass and winter bamboo shoots to get an appetite.

Just as Xu Fengnian secretly admired the beautiful face of the girl beside her, she was born with a strange phenomenon and the lake water was rising and falling, just like the day during the heavy snow. Xu Fengnian was surprised and waved her hand and asked her servants to take Sister Fan, who was shocked to Fengyi Hall, and ordered everyone by the lake to retreat.

After doing this, Xu Fengnian hurriedly ran to the small ferry with a black-topped boat, and jumped onto the boat with a spring thunder knife that was as sharp as a mud. Just as he was about to take the oar, he saw Lao Huang rushing towards him with his elderly body as thin as a bamboo pole, and even carried the long cloth bag that had caused Xu Fengnian to suffer a lot. He ran away: The poor queen, "", which contained a nearly four-foot-foot red sandalwood box.

Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes. What's the fun of this old Huang? What if the old man at the bottom of the lake turns his back and refuses to recognize others, will the master and servant start to slip faster than who will?

When Lao Huang got on the boat, Xu Fengnian rowed to the middle of the lake, his palms were covered in sweat.

His Royal Highness’s gambling has always been good, so I’ll bet a big one this time!

It was much clearer than ordinary lakes. Xu Fengnian held his breath and dived into the lake, but he was still a little far from the bottom of the lake. He floated back to the surface and dived again. After three or four times, he was very sure to rush to the bottom of the lake, and then dived in one go.

The lake is quite deep. Logically speaking, the bottom of the lake is slightly deeper and you should not see any scene no matter what. But the mystery lies in this lake that regularly removes silt.
