Chapter 12 There is an old man in the lake


Stinged.

The spring thunder sprouts, everything wakes up, and the stinging insects break through the ground and burrow.

The scenery of the Beiliang Royal Mansion wrapped in silver is infinitely good, the scenery of the palace is like the spring flowers, and the pink peach and white pear of thousands of trees are full of spring.

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

This lake is living water, far clearer than the general lake, Xu Fengnian held his breath and dived, pierced into the lake, but there was still some distance from the bottom of the lake, he resurfaced, and then dived, after repeating three or four times, he was very sure to rush to the bottom of the lake, this is a dive in one go, the lake is quite deep, according to the theory, the bottom of the lake that is a little deeper should be smeared with ten fingers no matter what, but the mystery lies in this lake that regularly removes silt, and there is a huge night pearl at the bottom of the lake in the center of the lake.

Shine out a piece of day-like light: a tall "Shui Kui" sitting in the mud, a head of white hair shaped like aquatic plants, slowly fluttering, closed eyes into the body of the strong, through the pebble-sized night pearl emitted by the light, vaguely visible Shui Kui's left hand and feet are imprisoned by three arm-thick iron chains, the end of the chain poured into three iron balls weighing thousands of catties.

Is there a more unbelievable and cruel prison in this world?

Shui Kui opened his eyes, without any emotion, and looked at the only living person he had been able to see for more than ten years.

Xu Fengnian made a gesture, which probably meant throwing cooked meat down later.

The huge monster opened its mouth and sucked a koi into its mouth, and directly tore it up, oozing koi blood from its mouth, and the whole fat red carp was swallowed in a few strokes.

Xu Fengnian's face turned red and turned blue, he couldn't hold on for long, hesitated, and then made a series of gestures that only he and Hu Kui could understand.

Lao Kui, who is more like a demon than a living person, stared at Xu Fengnian with wide eyes, his eyes were like a blade, staring directly at Xu Fengnian, as if he was doubting and judging, after a long period of isolation from the world, Lao Kui's thinking seemed very slow, but Xu Fengnian couldn't wait, swished upward, otherwise he would die young and float on the surface of the lake.

Climb on the boat, in fact, the water is not cold, the coldest is the moment out of the water, Xu Fengnian wiped his body, put on his clothes, there is a stove in the boat, it is quite warm, Xu Fengnian waited for a while, the lake was as calm as a mirror, a little regretful, retracted his gaze, glanced at the spring thunder short knife given by the white fox's face, put it on his lap, stroked the scabbard, and sighed: "Spring Thunder girl, it seems that you are useless."

The old ghost is willing to stay down there and be a turtle with a shrunken head, and I will see if I will give him meat to eat later. ” When he was young, Xu Fengnian played in the water and cramped, almost sinking to the bottom of the lake, that said that the old Kui who fed on live fish at the bottom of the lake year after year did not swallow Xu Fengnian alive, but used his magical powers to lift His Royal Highness the Prince 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 repayment, and when he is in a bad mood, he will dive into the bottom of the lake, and look at the old Kui who sits at the bottom of the lake, you can feel that life is actually very beautiful.

It's just that Xu Fengnian has been unable to figure out how to ventilate at the bottom of the lake for more than ten years, so how to ventilate without suffocating to death, so what realm his internal strength is so strong and terrifying Xu Fengnian specially ran to listen to the tide pavilion to rummage through the ancient martial arts books with closed breath, only in the Taoist secret book to find the word "fetal breath" is relatively consistent, but Xu Fengnian is no stranger to Wudang Mountain, I have not heard of any master in the world on the mountain can achieve such a wonderful "Xuanwu Ding", in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Taoist, the so-called "pulse and qi stop the fetus and start the knot" "If you want to live forever, the spirit is noted" This kind of wording is just to use the language of immortals to deceive the world, Master Li Yishan has made it clear that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, The Taoist Heavenly Master Bigu has been the ultimate for three years, and there is no possibility of riding a dragon and a crane to feather and fly immortals.

His Royal Highness, who took advantage of the prosperity and returned from the disappointment, carried the spring thunder ashore, drew his knife and cut off four or five willow sticks full of yellow buds, circled them, put them on his head, shook the spring thunder that returned to the sheath, and walked leisurely.

Outside the palace, a handsome brother with a face like a peach petal cast a famous thorn, the porter of the palace had already practiced his fiery eyes, and immediately weighed the weight of the famous thorn of Lantian Yuhua, and looked down carefully, it was the little son of the Lin family of Hedong Qiaoguo, this family is not a first-line gate lord in the dynasty, but it has some connections with the house, the eldest son of the Lin family had the opportunity to marry back to the lord of the long county, so the porter did not dare to slack off, restrained the first coldness, smiled slightly, and asked the little master to wait and report immediately.

Layer by layer, and finally arrived at the second housekeeper Song Yu, a little thought about it and made a decision with the same hospitality specifications as the governor and the governor, and soon someone diligently led the Lin family son and a weak lady into the house, along the way the girl invisibly became a scene, delicate body bones, not extremely beautiful, but the body is the charm of the cool land where the folk style is fierce, I don't know if the weak body is weak or the walking with the road is too fast, the smooth forehead oozes a trace of sweat, Lin Gongzi is distressed, but he really doesn't have the courage to mention it to the steward of the house, The Lin family of Hedong Qiaoguo is still unable to rise to the top in a county, and it is really not worth mentioning the whale-like behemoth of Shangbeiliang Wangfu, as the saying goes, the prime minister's concierge is the governor of the palace of the three officials, even if he was admitted to Tanhua last year, and the champion Bangyan once rode a horse to see all the flowers in the capital, but when he arrived at the Beiliang Palace, how dare he make a mistake.

The second-class steward led them to the Fengyi Pavilion and walked along the lakeside path, but Tanhualang saw a guy who definitely didn't want to see, only to see the man walking slowly, dressed in brocade and fox, rich and powerful, but wearing a willow ring, hanging a child, playing with a simple short knife.

The one who can wander around the hierarchical Beiliang Mansion so leisurely is, of course, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, who is finally talking about playing eagle fighting dogs.

As soon as Xu Fengnian saw Lin Tanhua who was thrown into the dung pit by him, he gave the steward a silent look, quickened his pace, and said with a smile: "Tanhualang, I didn't eat enough to eat the Rouge Lantern Festival when I came to the house."

Lin Tanhua, who didn't know Xu Feng's details at the end of the year, said to him: "You are" Xu Fengnian deliberately put on a disgusting posture, and said with a pretending to be garlic: "I am the companion of His Royal Highness the Prince" Lin Tanhua, who thought that the Lantern Festival had met the head snake of the family, was relieved and angry, looking embarrassed, although the bastard in front of him was not a descendant of a wealthy family with a flourishing background, he could be close to His Royal Highness the Prince, and Lin Tanhua still knew the benefits and disadvantages of it.

Without waiting for him to react, the fox and the fake tiger had already taken a few steps forward, and looked at Sister Fan directly, completely put Lin Tanhua aside, and said softly: "Sister Fan, fate, Brother Rong will take you to visit the palace, and you can see the scenery of tens of thousands of koi jumping over the dragon gate in the Chaoting Pavilion." ” After saying the polite words, Xu Fengnian reached out to shake Sister Fan's little hand, and Lin Tanhua, who had a heroic spirit of protecting flowers, hurriedly blocked between the two and looked at each other angrily.

Xu Fengnian smiled and threatened softly: "Eat rouge goods, don't be ignorant, since this son is the companion of His Royal Highness the Prince, then it is not difficult to feed you six or seven boxes of rouge, or make some efforts, it is possible for you to eat a closed door, you weigh it" Tanhualang's face was pale, but it was rare for the gentlemen to go once, but they refused to move, which made Xu Fengnian a little impressed.

The dashing lady surnamed Fan sighed softly, squeezed out a smile and comforted: "Brother Lin, it's okay, I've long wanted to see the scenery of the Listening Tide Pavilion." ” Before Xu Fengnian accompanied the United States, he quietly hooked his fingers, shouted to the second-class steward to his side, and instructed: "Let Xu Xiao not take the lead, and spend three or four days before talking." ” The steward who turned his back to the pair of young ladies and said in a flattering voice: "I know, I know, I will never miss the major affairs of His Royal Highness the Prince." ” Xu Feng said in a young voice: "I'll reward you when I turn around." ” The steward smiled, "Thank you, Your Highness." ” Xu Fengnian patted him on the shoulder, and walked alone with the sheep into the tiger's mouth Sister Fan on the embankment that crossed the lake, and put the willow ring on her head on his own initiative, and threw a demonstrative look at the heartbroken Lin Tanhua.

There are many warblers on the embankment named Yin Zi Yanyan and Xu Fengnian pass by, they are as lively as the steward, Xu Fengnian has a look, and they know that His Royal Highness the Prince has begun to play tricks on the freshly baked girl again.

Not to mention the many slaves in the Beiliang Palace, even the Qingke celebrities who are favored by the Great Pillar Country are not a small number, and they each give advice to the King of Beiliang in the palace courtyard to make cattle and horses, and the maids and maids in the Wutong Courtyard where Xu Fengnian lives are divided into four classes, and there are two first-class girls, one of whom is born with a natural fragrance, and specially warms the bed for His Royal Highness the Prince, and the other person raises snow-white spear falcons for Xu Fengnian.

There are four second-class girls, one of whom is skilled in poetry, calligraphy and painting, especially the handwriting of charming and good words, responsible for adding fragrance to the red sleeves of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the other three have also been influenced by strict music and dance since childhood.

The third-class girls do some elegant work such as watering flowers and tea stoves, and the fourth-class girls do rough work such as cleaning the yard, these women, except for the big girl who warms the bed, is enchanting and charming, and the rest of the posture is also around seventy, if Xu Fengnian wants to eat rouge, he can eat at any time.

Seeming to feel dull, Miss Fan said softly: "Childe makes a knife" Xu Fengnian was not ashamed and said: "I have practiced swordsmanship for ten years, and my swordsmanship is only a small success." ” In order to prove that he has been practicing knives for many years, Xu Fengnian made a mighty move to sweep thousands of troops, but accidentally threw the spring thunder out and almost fell into the lake.

She smiled, tilted her head and glanced into the distance understandingly, Xu Fengnian picked up the holy product in the knife that was unladylike, and snorted, not feeling ashamed, and explained that he made a mistake.

When she arrived at the base of the Tingchao Pavilion, Miss Fan looked at the three plaques under the eaves, which were the Nine Dragons plaque "Magnificent and Majestic" with the inscription of the emperor, as well as the "Feng Laiyi" and "Qi Chong Bullfighting" written by everyone.

Xu Fengnian thought that it would be good to be different, and he always had an appetite for shark fin bird's nest, and occasionally had some autumn perch and winter bamboo shoots to be appetizing.

Just when Xu Fengnian was secretly admiring the beautiful face of the girl next to him, he was born with a vision, the lake was boiling and tumbling, just like the one in the snowy season, Xu Fengnian was pleasantly surprised, and waved his hand to let the subordinate lead Sister Fan, who was shocked, to the Fengyi Pavilion, and ordered everyone to retreat from the lake, after doing this, Xu Fengnian hurriedly ran to the small ferry with a black canopy boat, and jumped on the boat with a spring thunder knife that sharpened iron like mud. even carried the long cloth bag that had made Xu Fengnian suffer a lot, containing a nearly four-foot rosewood box, Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes, what kind of excitement did this Lao Huang do, when the time comes, if the old man at the bottom of the lake turns his face and doesn't recognize people, will the master and servant start to slip faster than anyone When Lao Huang got into the boat, Xu Fengnian rowed to the center of the lake, his palms were sweaty.

His Royal Highness's gambling has always been good, and this time he will make a big bet:
