Chapter 012 – There is an Old Kui in the Lake

Hibernation.

Spring thunder, everything wakes up, stinging insects shocked and break the ground out of the cave. Silver wrapped northern Liang Wang Fu scenery is infinitely good, spring blossom Wang Fu as charming scenery, thousands of trees pink peaches and white pears, spring is full of flavor. At noon, Xu Fengyen 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 ordinary lakes, Xu Fengyen held his breath and dived, stabbed into the lake, but there is still a distance from the bottom of the lake, he resurfaced, and then dive, repeated three or four times after a ten percent certainty that the bottom of the lake, this is a drum dive, the lake is quite deep, according to the logic of the bottom of the lake a little deeper, no matter how it should be dark to see any light, but the mystery lies in the regular removal of the silt in the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake, the lake. In the center of the lake, there is a large night pearl at the bottom of the lake, shining out a daytime light. Xu Fengyen hard to hold his breath suspended underwater, the scene in front of him, enough to write any one of the people of the city staggering novels of gods and monsters: a height of about more than ten feet tall “Water Kui” sitting in the silt, a head of white hair in the form of watercress, slowly fluttering, closed his eyes in the water Kui physical fitness, by means of the pebble-sized luminous pearl emitting light, can vaguely see the water Kui left hand and left hand, the water Kui, the water Kui, the water Kui, the water Kui, the water Kui. Vaguely see the water Kui left hand and feet were three arm-thick chain confinement, chain end pouring into the three thousands of pounds of iron ball.

Is there any prison in this world that is more unimaginable 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 that he would throw the cooked meat down later.

The huge monster opened its mouth and sucked, sucked a tail of koi carp into its mouth, and directly tore it up, oozing koi carp blood from its mouth, and in a few moments the whole plump red carp gulped down into its stomach.

Xu Fengyen’s face turned red to green, he couldn’t hold on for long, hesitated for a moment, then made a series of gestures that only he and the Lake Kui understood.

More like a demon than a living person, the old Kui stared wide-eyed, eyes like a blade, staring straight at Xu Fengnian, seems to be in doubt and judgment, long years of isolation, the old Kui’s thinking seems to be very slow, Xu Fengnian is not able to wait, whoosh a little scurrying upward, otherwise you have to die young, floating corpse on the lake. Climbed into the boat, in fact, the water is not cold, the coldest is the moment out of the water, Xu Fengyen wiped his body, put on his clothes, there is a fireplace inside the boat, quite warm, Xu Fengyen waited for a few moments, the lake surface is as calm as a mirror, some regrets, retracted his vision, glanced at the white fox face gifted the spring thunder short sword, placed across the knee, stroked the knife sheath, sighed: ”Spring Thunder Boudoir, it seems that you are not It seems that you have no use for it. That old ghost is happy to stay underneath as a shrunken turtle, see if I will give him meat back in the future.”

When he was young, Xu Fengyen had a cramp from playing in the water and almost sank to the bottom of the lake, the old kui that feeds on live fish at the bottom of the lake day after day and year after year didn’t devour Xu Fengyen alive, but used his magical ability to bring his son out of the bottom of the lake, and since then Xu Fengyen has gotten into the habit of throwing cooked meat into the lake as a way of repaying his kindness, and when he is not in a good mood, he will also dive into the bottom of the lake and take a few glimpses of the old kui that sits at the bottom of the lake, and then he can feel that life is actually very beautiful, and he will treat the old kui as a victim of the old kui. At the beginning of the old kui as the wrath of the demons and monsters, grew up to realize that it is a person, also need to eat, just Xu Fengnian has been unable to figure out the bottom of the lake for more than ten years, how to change the air? Will not suffocate? That his inner strength is thick and shocking to what realm?

Xu Fengyen specifically run listen to the tide pavilion rummage through the ancient books of martial arts with closed breath, only in the Taoist secret codex to find the word “fetal breath” relatively consistent, but Xu Fengyen is no stranger to the Wudang Mountain, I have not heard of the mountain there is which the world’s high people can achieve such a wonderful “Xuanwu fixed” in the In the view of His Royal Highness, the Taoist so-called “the pulse stops the gas stops the fetus begins to knots” “if you want to live forever, God’s qi phase injection” and such phrases are just borrowed from the immortal language to deceive the world, the master Li Yishan more clearly said that there are no ghosts and gods, Taoist masters three years of cereal is already the ultimate, there is no dragon. Is the ultimate, never take the dragon and crane flying immortal possibility.

The pleasure to go back to the defeat of the son of His Highness carrying the spring thunder on the shore, drew the knife to cut down four or five blooming yellow buds of the willow, surrounded by a circle, wearing on the head, a fluttering and a fling of the returned to the sheath of the spring thunder, walking leisurely.

Outside the king’s residence, a face like peach petals of the handsome brother cast a name thorns, the king’s residence concierge early practiced fiery eyes, a moment to weigh the hand on the blue jade gorgeous name thorns of the weight of the hand, lowered his head to take a closer look, it is the east biaoqiao Lin family’s young son, this family is not a first tier in the dynasty of the gatehouse noble family, but there are some affinities with the House, the Lin family’s eldest son would have had the opportunity to marry back to walk the long princess, so the concierge did not dare to slow down, converge the most prior to the Coldness, a slight smile, let this young master wait a moment, immediately go to inform. Layer by layer, finally to the second housekeeper Song Yu there, a little thought will be shot with the governor of the state pastor equivalent hospitality specifications, soon someone attentive to lead the Lin family son and a weak young lady into the house, all the way to the girl invariably become a scenery, delicate body bones, not extremely beautiful, but the body’s temperament is the folk style of the tough cool land rarely seen flavor, I do not know whether the body is weak and lack of physical weakness or walking with the road too fast, glossy forehead Sweat oozing out, Lin Gongzi look heartbroken, but really do not have the courage to mention to the steward of the house, east of the river Qiao Lin family in a county and can not yet be a top, on the Beiliang Wangfu such a whale scaly behemoth, is not worth mentioning, as the saying goes, prime minister’s concierge, three officials, the royal staff race governor, even if he took the last year to the scouting flower, and the scholar eye had a day to see all the flowers of the capital on horseback, can be the Beiliang King’s House, which dares to boast about their behavior.

The second-class steward led them to Feng Yi Hall, along the lakeside path, the result of the scout boy saw a definitely do not want to see a guy, only to see that person slowly walking, brocade coat fox fur, rich and noble, but wearing a willow ring on the head, hanging, playing a simple ancient short sword.

To be able to stroll around so leisurely in the hierarchical Northern Liang Wang Fu, of course it is His Royal Highness, who spends his days playing with eagles and fighting with dogs and reading forbidden books. As soon as Xu Fengyen saw Lin Tanhua, who he had thrown into the cesspit, he threw a silencing look to the steward, quickened his pace, and said with a smile, ”Tanhualang, come to the mansion to eat rouge? Didn’t eat enough at the Lantern Festival?”

Not knowing Xu Fenian’s background, Lin Tan Hua hemmed and hawed, “Who are you?”

Xu Fengyen intentionally put on a condescending and disgusting demeanor and said with a pretentious face, “I’m His Highness’s companion!”

This thought that the Lantern Festival bumped into the world’s children snakes of the Lin Tanhua relief and raise the breath, look embarrassed, in front of the asshole is not the background of the rich and powerful descendants of the family, but with His Highness the son of the world close to the stakes, the Lin Tanhua no longer know the world or know eight or nine. Do not wait for him to react, that fox fake tiger bully bully “companion” has been a few steps forward, close to the straight hook look to Fan sister, completely Lin Tanhua hung out to dry on the side, softly said: “Fan sister, destiny destiny, allow my brother to take you on a tour of the Royal Palace, listening to the tide pavilion over there can see tens of thousands of koi jumping the Dragon Gate Scenery.”

After saying polite words Xu Fengyen reached out to shake Fan sister’s small hand, and a flower protection of Lin Tanhua hurriedly blocked in the middle of the two, angrily at each other.

Xu Fengyen smiled and threatened softly, “Rouge eating goods, don’t be ungrateful, since this son is the companion of his highness the son of the world, it’s not difficult to feed you six or seven boxes of rouge, or a little bit of effort, so that you can eat a closed door is also possible, you weigh it!”

Scout’s face green and white, but rare manly once, just refused to move, but let Xu Fengyen somewhat impressed.

The body style of the Miss Fan gently sighed, squeeze out a smile to comfort: “Brother Lin, no harm, I have long wanted to see the scenery of the tide pavilion.”

Before Xu Fengyen walked with the beautiful couple, he quietly hooked his finger and called that second class steward to his side, commanding, “Tell Xu Snap not to venture out, and consume three or four days before saying anything.”

The steward who had his back to the pair of young ladies fawned and whispered, “I know, I know, I will never miss His Highness’s big event.”

Xu Fenian softly said, “I will reward you later.”

The steward smiled, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Xu Fengyen patted his shoulder, and took that sheep into the tiger’s mouth Fan sister alone up the lake embankment through the lake, and also took the initiative to put the willow ring on her head, and threw a demonstrative look to the pained Inspector Lin.

The lake embankment named Beautiful Purple has many warblers and swallows rubbing shoulders with Xu Fengyen, they are just as lively as the steward, with a glance from Xu Fengyen, they know that His Highness has started to tease the freshly baked girls again.

Beiliang Wang Fu not to mention the many servants, is favored by the great pillar country Qing guest celebrities is not a small number, each in the royal residence in the courtyard to the king of Beiliang to give advice to do cattle and horses, Xu Fengyen live in the wutong courtyard maids maids are divided into four classes, the first class of the big maids are two people, one of them was born with the body scent, specialized in warming the bed for the son of His Highness, the other one for Xu Fengyen to feed the snowy white spear kestrels. Second-class maids have four people, one of them is skillful in poetry, calligraphy and painting, especially a handful of Yeanyi good words, responsible for giving His Royal Highness the red sleeves, the remaining three people have been subjected to strict music and song and dance cultivation since childhood. The third class maid will do some watering flowers together tea stove elegant work, the fourth class is to do cleaning the yard and other rough work, these women, in addition to the bed warming big girl first class enchanting charming, the rest of the posture are also in the seventy text up and down, Xu Fengyen if you want to eat rouge, at any time can eat and eat to hold up.

Seems to feel dull, Ms. Fan softly said: “Gongzi make knife?”

Xu Fengnian said shamelessly, “I have been practicing the sword for ten years, and I have only become successful in the art of swordplay.”

In order to prove that he had practiced the sword for many years, Xu Fengyen did a mighty sweeping style, and as a result, he accidentally threw Chun Lei out and almost fell into the lake. She guffawed, understandingly cocked her head and glanced into the distance, Xu Fengyen picked up the holy grail of knives in distress, gave a harrumph and did not feel ashamed, explaining that it was a mistake of hand and hand. To listen to the tide pavilion on the foundation, Miss Fan looked at the eaves of the three plaques, respectively, is the emperor’s inscription of the nine-dragon plaque “majestic and majestic”, as well as from the handwriting of the “phoenix come to Yi” and “qi dash bull”, she instead of the throw away of the Emperor. “Instead, she was not very excited about the beautiful sight of koi carp flopping around when the bait was thrown down, which was not quite the same as those young ladies who were abducted by Xu Fengyen in the past.

Xu Fengnian thought different is good, always shark’s fin and bird’s nest also appetite, occasionally come to the autumn perch winter bamboo shoots to appetizing.

In Xu Fengyen secretly appreciate the side of the girl’s beautiful face of the cozy time, natural phenomena, the lake boiled and fell up, with the snowy season that day, Xu Fengyen heart surprise, a beckon to let the subordinate will be horrified by the face of the Fan sister to lead to the Phoenix Hall, and ordered to hold back all the people around the lake, after these, Xu Fengyen hurriedly ran to the small ferry parked in a crow’s nest boat, carrying a sharp iron like clay Spring Thunder Knife jumped on board, just to row the sculls and rowing boat, the boat is not a good idea. Just to row the boat, he saw the old Huang shaking the old body as thin as a bamboo pole rushed over, even on the back of the long cloth bag that had made Xu Fengyen suffer a lot, containing a nearly four-foot box of rosewood, Xu Fengyen rolled his eyes, what is the old Huang to participate in the fun, then in case of the bottom of the lake old Kui turn their backs on each other, the master and the servant two began to compare who is slipping faster again?

Waiting for the old Huang on the canoe, Xu Fengyen rowed towards the center of the lake, his palms are sweaty.

His Highness the son’s gambling has always been good, this time to bet a big one!
