Dust and Ember Song

Chapter 20 The Old Story of Yunmengze ([-])
After that, Chu Ge often went to Langshan, went boating in Luoshui, and enjoyed crabapples by the river.After a long time, he actually felt that the Begonia flower was as gentle as a woman's smile.

Kong Chen wakes up from a nap, the sound of the piano is gone, and he sees Chu Ge sitting on the prow of the boat, staring at the begonias by the river like clouds.

Why, haven't you seen enough of this crabapple flower?
He smiled and spread out his palms, a beautiful begonia, never seen enough, sometimes I feel that I am accompanying her, or she is accompanying me.

Chu Ge, it turns out that you are also sentimental!Kong Chen feigned surprise.

No matter where, this place is the place where my deceased mother loved, and I have to cherish everything here.

Which woman are you in love with?He picked up the crabapple flower in his palm, waved his fingers in front of his eyes, and teased, I have never seen you so caring before, it seems that you are emotional this time.

How could it be that I already liked the rouge woman, so I can't say that I really have affection.

Kong Chen picked up the crabapple flower, and thought it was bright and lovely. He casually said, this crabapple flower is really beautiful, if it is carved on a utensil, it should be very unique.

He raised his eyebrows and said, I have thought about this for a long time, go, go to my Muyu Tower, and I will give you a crabapple jade pendant.

The past is like smoke, tossing and turning has become vast.

On that day, at the foot of Langshan Mountain, on the shore of Luoshui River, he saw the ten-mile crabapple again. He was still deeply affectionate, as if a woman was waiting for someone to return.

There was an old man by the river, with gray hair, wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, with a fairy-like demeanor, holding a fishing rod with a calm demeanor, calmly watching the river while fishing.

It is no ordinary person who can easily enter this Langshan Mountain.He walked over and saw him, there was no bait on the fishing rod, and there was no container beside him, it was really strange.

Sir, are you fishing?
There's a water beast in this river, and I'm waiting for it to show up.He spoke to himself without turning his head to look at him.

So that's the case, it's just that there's no need to dress up like this, the water beast must have spiritual power, this disguise doesn't work, he thought to himself.

It is temperamental, but human curiosity.He sensed his doubts.

This matter is under the control of the tiger, but you are sent by him.As soon as he said it, he felt ridiculous, this old man is not from the ghost world.

Chu Ge couldn't do this, so he had to ask me for help.

you are?The person who can let Chu Ge go to invite him is not a noble person.

I am a member of the Beihai Fairy Turtle Clan. Chu Ge's father once invited two river-suppressing stone turtles from my place, but he still couldn't seal the divine power of this water beast. Now, I have no choice but to come in person.

The Luoshui River is an ancient holy river, and the water beast can live here safely, and it must be transformed by spiritual energy.He couldn't help worrying, if the water beast's temper was uncontrollable, then Guozhou would be in disaster again and again.He wanted to help capture the water beast.

Now there is no way to catch it, this water beast will be invisible, and anyone who notices people deliberately approaching will disappear without a trace.

It's really difficult...

Luoshui seems to be safe and sound, but in reality it is constantly surging. What kind of monster this water beast is, I have been here for many days, and it is completely difficult to understand.

In Luoshui, the surface of the river is slightly turbulent, and its brilliance is like jade. He has no way to sink the water, and he cannot see the underwater scenery.And this old man belongs to the Northern Sea Fairy Turtle Clan, who can not only sink into the water, but also resist the water, but he failed to enter the bottom of the Luoshui River. After a closer look, it can be seen that Luoshui is holy, no one can easily enter it, and the beast that can live in it , must have unfathomable mana.

Is it related to Changyou?
He stroked his white beard, but still kept his eyes on the river, how could he see it?

Ever since Changyou was injured by Tan Qi, he hasn't been seen for many years. The younger generation guessed that it might have fled to Luoshui.

He finally turned his head and looked at the tall man standing beside him, with one hand in front and the other behind his back, facing the wind like a tree.

The wound on the right side can be healed, and it can also enter Luoshui, and use Luoshui to create an overwhelming momentum. It seems that it has obtained the way of immortality.The old man stood up and performed water-controlling spells, but Luoshui did not move at all. Luoshui was controlled by it, and I couldn't use any water-controlling power on it.

Perhaps, the battle of Luoshui was inevitable.

The spirit beast Changyou was born in Changyou Mountain in Shengzhou. The father of Changdi, the former tiger of Shengzhou, Qin Qi, gave him the name of the mountain.

He has a blue face and long fangs, and his body looks like a human body. He can speak human language, loves water, and has a docile temperament.Originally settled in Changyou Mountain, but for some reason, he became agitated suddenly and no longer obeyed the discipline of the tiger. Over time, it caused many floods.The last time Changyou appeared was in the battle with Qin Qi in Mintan. At that time, Changyou had extremely high mana, and Qin Qi failed to subdue it. Although it was injured, it escaped easily.

However, Qin Qi was hit hard by him, and his chronic illness was difficult to heal. As his only heir, the young Changdi hurriedly ascended the throne as the new tiger of Shengzhou.

Unbeknownst to Chang Di, the biological mother of the spirit beast Chang You is also Mei Ji, and he and he are brothers.

Before Meiji gave birth to Changdi, she was pregnant with a son, but when the child was born, she was told that it was a stillborn baby. Tan Qiming sent the dead baby away in a hurry and buried it secretly in order to avoid Meiji's grief.

In fact, he has a poisonous plan in his heart...

Brother Kong Chen, why are you here?Chu Ge was sorting out the old documents, when he heard a clear knock on the door, he got up and looked over.Seeing an old friend, I was so happy that I dropped the document in my hand and ran towards him.

In the past when I was in Tianshu Pavilion, I didn't see you being so diligent. It really is true that time goes by and people can change.

Now that I am a tiger, I naturally have to work harder, but you, when will you enter the Fire Cloud Palace?
They bumped their fists in a tacit agreement.

After this cloud tour, he will go to his post. Although the position of Huode Xingjun is noble, it hinders freedom, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to descend to the mortal world in the future.The majesty and solemnity of the Fire Cloud Palace was not what he had in mind.

This is your fate, let it be.He held the glass, closed his eyes, and drank it down.

In his position, it is really different.

He saw that there was a crabapple flower on the back of his hand, he couldn't help feeling ridiculous, when did you draw a crabapple on the back of your hand?
Chu Ge didn't expect Kong Chen to see the scar of the crabapple flower, so he quickly folded up his cuffs to cover it up.

He didn't dare to let people know about these subtle thoughts, for fear of making people laugh.

On that day, he patrolled Luoshui as usual, and saw that the calm was different from the past, and he was sleepy, so he could sleep deeply on the boat. Before he knew it, the boat floated under the crabapple flowers with the current.

In the dream, a cool breeze picked up, and the crabapple flowers swayed in the air, and he heard a woman's voice.

Who are you?He hurriedly stood up to see the woman's appearance.

I saw a woman in a pink dress, standing under the flowers, smiling quietly at him without answering.He flew towards her, only one step away from her, he reached out his hand, trying to touch her, but she suddenly disappeared.

who are you?He looked around.

I don't have a name.The woman finally stood still behind him and said quietly.

He turned around, saw her beautiful face, and wanted to hold her hand, where are you from?
She smiled, and her figure instantly turned into a scent of flowers, I have been here all the time.

Are you a begonia fairy?
It's time for you to wake up.

He responded, and woke up suddenly, still lying on the bow of the boat, with crabapple flowers falling on top of his head, it turned out to be a dream.

He just felt thirsty, so he picked up Luoshui casually and drank it, but saw that there was a trace of a fallen crabapple flower on the back of his left hand, which could not be wiped off no matter what.Can't help but think of the dream just now, and smile knowingly.Is the crabapple flower really the incarnation of that woman as the empress said? He looked at the reddish flower marks and believed it.

On the Hungry Ghost Festival, the tiger's palace is filled with herbs such as Peilan, Pizhi, Duheng, etc., and soul banners are erected outside the hall, and the tiger receives the worship ceremony of hundreds of ghosts holding various sachets outside the main hall.

The common people followed the government's sacrificial ceremonies, spread the brocade silk on the chariot made of precious wood, placed cattle, sheep, pigs, five grains, rice wine and other sacrifices, and went up the mountain to hold a mountain sacrifice ceremony.

Candles are lit inside and outside the city, and paper ingots and paper puppets are burned to relatives and friends who have passed away.

In Yan Luo's underground palace, the gate of ghosts is wide open. Good ghosts who cannot be reincarnated smoothly will be pardoned by King Yan Luo. They will go to the human world tonight and return in fifteen days.

As a rule, all benevolent ghosts holding an amnesty will go to the tiger's palace to listen to training before they can enter the human world.They can wander around at will, because they can't spell or speak, and they only appear in the middle of the night, so they don't hinder the precepts of the world.

But among them, there is also a kind of good ghost, whose souls come from people who have no relatives, no reason, no love and no wealth, and people who died of loneliness.

King Yan Luo took pity on them, and promised them that on the fifteenth day when the gate of hell was opened, they could turn into human form, be able to speak and walk, and only those who fell in love with them could see their appearance, and the rest could only hear human voices but not see them.Fifteen days later, no matter what the result is, those who fell in love with them will be completely forgotten overnight.

Fifteen days to fall in love with others, fifteen days is a lifetime.
