Candle Dragon to the left

Chapter 340 102. Cinnabar
The lake, the autumn and the moon are in harmony, and there is no goggles on the pool surface.

By the Dongting Lake, there are many pedestrians, shouting, selling, and beating gongs and drums.The bright red lanterns light up the surface of the lake, hiding in the lake like fiery clouds.

Yuezhou City, on the shore of Dongting Lake, along the Yangtze River, accepts three Hunan and four rivers, where rivers and lakes meet, has been famous for its richness since ancient times.

This is the Lantern Festival of the Lantern Festival. Every family takes to the streets and lights up thousands of colored lanterns.By the moonlight, there are even men and women who love each other as companions.This is the night when the earth returns to spring, which is celebrated by people, and it is also a continuation of celebrating the new year.Guessing lantern riddles, walking through thousands of households, lingering with laughter.

Li Xian'an was woken up.

When he opened his eyes, he could only feel the cool water of the lake, and the blurred colored lights caught through the lake.

But shouldn't he be in Longyuan?

Li Xi'an wanted to move his body, but the water wave moved slightly, very nimble and small.Li Xi'an looked back, this was not the huge dragon body he was familiar with, but a red carp.

This is... a dream?

It is not a dream that ordinary people understand, it is like looking back at the past in Kunlun Wonderland.But how is this possible?Li Xi'an thought, the lotus petals didn't react at that time, he tried to use the biggest secret in his body, but it had no effect other than slowing down his aging process.When he looked back at the past, the petals would respond. In Longyuan, he didn't feel the familiar tremor until his consciousness sank.

Should I be lucky?

You should be lucky.

He is indeed desperate, but it is not that he does not desire to live.

Li Xi'an floated to the surface of the water, using the twilight to hide himself, and looked at the things on the lake.

So where is this?

Like the ancient times in his memory.Lanterns are hung all over the streets, pedestrians and carriages come and go.But the old Kyushu is also like this, this appearance has stayed in Kyushu for a long time, Li Xi'an can't tell where it is, which era it is.

He breathed lightly, his gills opening and closing.

Then, he froze.

Reiki.

There is an extremely small amount of spiritual energy in the air, let alone the island in the middle of the Taihang Lake where he lives, or even any corner of the new Kyushu.But he did capture the wandering spirit in the air.

At least not in modern times.

Just as Li Xi'an was deep in thought, a colorful lamp illuminated the shadow he was in.

"Wow! What a beautiful fish!" The girl knelt down and waved, seemingly even wanting to say hello to Li Xi'an.

"Look, look!" she shouted, turning her head, which also allowed Li Xi'an to see clearly the man standing behind the girl, maybe her husband, maybe her brother.But this has nothing to do with Li Xi'an, he flicked his tail, splashed a cluster of small water splashes, and disappeared into the lake in an instant.

When the man approached, there was nothing under the colored lights, only the ripples of the lake, leaving shadows.

"Why is it gone?" The girl wondered, then turned her head and shouted at the man, "You must have scared the little fish away!"

"Yes, yes." The man could only smile wryly.

"A girl who is about to get married, and she still acts like a child all day long. Today, my parents and I pleaded with you to bring you out to see the lantern. From now on, your husband will take you out to see the lantern. "

"I haven't even seen what that person looks like!" The girl pouted.

"It's the second son of the Su family, how many times have I said it, girl, you will be the honorable young lady of the Su family from now on." The man joked.

But the man's smile quickly froze on his face.

He looked into the depths of Dongting Lake, where the colorful lights could not illuminate. Only the moonlight echoed on the lake, and there were dark shadows in many places.

"What's wrong, brother?" The girl looked up.

"No, it's nothing, just an illusion." The man withdrew his gaze, turned around and led the girl into the crowd.

It didn't take long for the gaps where the men and girls stopped to be filled with people watching the lanterns, and no one paid any attention to the shadowy corners deep in Dongting Lake.

There, a red carp swallowed the moonlight.Under the moonlight, the shadow behind it continues to extend, like a big snake, and the branches on the bank hang down the shadows, which just put the horns on the head of the snake-shaped shadow.

…………

Time flies, Li Xi'an has witnessed twenty lantern festivals in the blink of an eye.

This is the No.20 game.

Corresponding to the No.20 year when he came to this era.

Dongting Lake has a treasure land where auras gather, but they are all occupied by big monsters.Unlike ordinary people, when Li Xi'an saw those creatures for the first time, it seemed like a big rock fell from the bottom of his heart.In the era when demons and ghosts still exist, some clues will always be found, but now is not the time.

He cultivated with the body of a red carp, which is no different from recultivation.

But with the perfection of the Five Elements Killing Technique, he absorbs the moonlight and moonlight at a frighteningly fast speed.

He seldom comes to the lake now, because at this time his body is rolling in the lake, burning and flying like a flame in the lake water.When his back is out of the water, someone will shout "Dragon!"

The colorful lights are ten miles away, and the sound of gongs and drums.

Li Xi'an lurks in the shadows as before.

Until that familiar lantern illuminates the shadows.

The girl who lit the lantern back then is now a married woman, and the man beside her is no longer her brother, but her husband.

"I know you're watching." The woman said softly.

"I don't know why, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were not an ordinary fish, just like seeing a dragon. It's funny, how could a fish be a dragon? But the answer lies in my heart, you are a dragon, Dongting Lake The dragon that has been circulating in recent years is probably you."

"There are still many people who want to catch you, but how can you be caught by mortals?"

The woman talked a lot, talking about what happened in the past year to the lake illuminated by the colored lights, and quietly stated her joys and sorrows under the colored lights.

Li Xi'an knew why she said so much this time.

Because this is the last time she will come to participate in the Lantern Festival in Yuezhou City.

The head of the Su family committed a crime, was demoted, and sent his family to a poor place.Even if someone from the Su family has arranged a place to go in advance, they will not be in Yuezhou City after all, and they will not be able to live such a good life in the future.Even the man behind her had a look of sadness on his face, so why mention a woman?
"Then goodbye." The woman waved to the lake as she did 20 years ago.

"By the way, I gave you a name. I hope I won't offend you. I often use this name to tell your stories to children. The story is a picture I once saw in a dream. The majestic mountains, the golden ancient There is a red dragon entrenched on the ancient tree, his head is bowed, and a dazzling golden candle is burning on his face."

Li Xi'an in the dark was stunned for a moment.

"I didn't intend to speak at first, but I'm going to leave here soon. It's my selfishness to leave this name behind."

The woman said softly: "Cinnabar, I think your scales must be more red than rouge, and should be like the sand and stone of Zhu Dan."
