On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head.
It is appropriate to offer sacrifices, break ground, install beams, and make alliances.
The dragon palace banquet begins.
…
In the first half of the Yellow River, the area overlooked by Tianma Yuan reaches 90,000 feet deep into the water of the long river. A magnificent palace finally separates the turbid waves, lifts the curtain of time and space, and lifts it to people's eyes.
It adheres to the ancient architectural style, which is tall, magnificent and majestic, with courtyard pillars like sky pillars and palace gates like tianmen.
The palace wall is made of huge translucent crystal square bricks. You can't see the top from the top, and you can't see the ends from the left and right. With the vastness of the river, people worry that it can't be accommodated.
There are mottled traces of time on the wall. It is not the weathering of ten years or hundreds of years, not just the blowing of thousands of years, but the turning of one great era after another. The wave of the times has swept away everything in the past, leaving only
That imprint that cannot be erased.
It is a living fossil from ancient times and is history in itself!
Jiang Wang is now standing outside the palace gate of the Changhe Dragon Palace, as if he has come to that era when the demon clan was supreme in heaven and the dragon clan claimed to be in heaven.
Exaggerated dragon patterns can be seen everywhere in front of you, vast expanse of waves are right above your head, and you can see big fish swimming by. But it seems to be in another time and space, just out of reach.
What a power time has!
The miracle of such creation has also been wiped out of its splendor.
There used to be at least tens of millions of living beings living here, which could make such a magnificent building not look so empty.
At a glance now, everything is sparse.
It is said that the number of Shui tribe living in the Dragon Palace is no more than 10,000.
It's like there are only a few tadpoles swimming in a huge lake. No matter how you look at them, no matter how lively they are, they are inevitably empty and deserted.
The sound of the waves rushing thousands of miles away is very far away, but at the bottom of the long river, there is no ups and downs.
It's quite like "when thunder surrounds the body, one can drink leisurely tea".
The invitation to the Dragon Palace banquet that I carried on my body shone brightly, announcing the arrival of the distinguished guest.
There is a horizontal bone between the forehead and an unidentifiable male of the Shui tribe. Wearing a robe of special material from the ancient times, he walked out of the palace with the cloud-walking steps that conformed to the dragon etiquette: "Dragon Palace Attendant Ping Qing, Feng Long
Jun Yu ordered us to welcome Mr. Jiang Wang and Master Jingli into the palace."
Of course, if we really want to talk about ancient etiquette, the Dragon Palace attendant walking on the cloud ritual steps is itself an unethical behavior.
The Walking Clouds Step is a step specially used by the Dragon Clan to welcome distinguished guests. It brings up the flowing clouds while walking, making it elegant and unrestrained without losing dignity. Non-Dragon Clan members cannot do it.
And as we all know... there is only one true dragon in the Changhe Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Palace hosted a banquet for the geniuses, and Jingli was of course one of them. Jinghai, who also had a Dragon Subduing Courtyard in Xuankong Temple, also received the invitation, but since Jingli had set out, there was no need for him to come again.
It was impossible for Jingli not to go with Jiang Wang, he wanted to keep an eye on his junior brother.
It was also my first time to visit the Changhe Dragon Palace. Everywhere I looked was strange. When I saw the Dragon Palace attendant coming to greet me, I waved excitedly: "Junior brother, let's go!"
Jiang Wang did not move: "Don't worry, I'll wait a little longer."
"What are you waiting for?" Jingli is a curious monk.
"Waiting for someone."
"Who are you waiting for?" Jingli broke the casserole and asked.
Jiang Wang smiled and said: "Little holy monk, why don't you go in first and help me explore the way? I will go over to find you later."
"Then forget it!" Jingli shook his head vigorously and grinned, "I want to wait with you."
At this time, the Dragon Palace waiter who was waiting for them silently spoke: "This door opens the time and space projection. The time and space when the distinguished guests enter the Dragon Palace are not consistent. There is no one waiting here."
He was talking about why he and Jingli were the only two at the entrance of such a huge palace. He thought he had arrived too late.
Jiang Wang was not embarrassed at all.
He just stood quietly outside the palace gate and glanced into the distance. He felt that someone was waiting for him in a certain time and space at this moment.
This feeling is very peaceful.
"Then I'll ask the waiter to lead the way," he said.
"You're welcome." Dragon Palace attendant Ping Qing walked in front, guiding the two human race geniuses into the Dragon Palace.
The three figures walked across the huge country, like ants crawling through an ancient temple.
Jingli has its own emphasis. He asked the waiter: "The time and space we came in are different, how can we eat together?"
Ping Qing answered patiently: "It's just that the time and space at the entrance are different. This is to protect the Dragon Palace and the river section where the Dragon Palace is stationed. The time and space after entering the palace are the same."
Jingli emphasized again: "I am a vegetarian."
Ping Qing said: "Vegetarian food is prepared for you."
Just like this, in the process of asking one question after another in Jingli, I walked through the palace gate as tall as a sky arch, walked through the square with various dragon stone sculptures, and passed the arch bridge across the galaxy...
We came to a large hall.
This hall uses the starry sky as the dome and the waves of different eras as the floor tiles. It has no walls in all directions and is infinitely wide. It is not so much a hall, but a world in the hall. It has infinite brilliance and endless romantic fantasy.
Jiang Wang first saw an unparalleled woman standing not far behind the door, holding her hands behind her back and looking at the patterns on the floor tiles boredly.
Her side face cannot be said to be exquisite, but rather a jade-carved mist, as misty as a fairy scene.
Today, she is wearing a cloud-white unisex gown, with her long hair tied up with a jade crown, and the ends of her hair hanging down behind her back simply, giving her the air of a graceful young lady from a troubled world.
She is naturally Ye Qingyu.
They had written letters before coming, and they had agreed to meet outside the palace gate to experience the Dragon Palace Banquet together.
When Jiang Wang looked at her, she just turned her head.
Those eyes are gentle and peaceful, clear and full of life.
A strand of forehead hair messed up the autumn waves, and the reflection of the blue shirt in the autumn waves also shook a little. It made people's hearts relax.
Jiang Wang said: "They say there is no one waiting outside the palace gate."
Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "I was embarrassed to say that I was waiting for someone at first, so I just said I was looking at the scenery. Then after looking at it for a long time, I asked, eh, why didn't I see anyone else?"
?”
Both of them laughed.
Only then did Jingli look back from admiring this hall, and was surprised to see his junior brother actually chatting with a woman.
He calmly moved closer, eyes wide open, and ears pricked up.
Who is this monster?!
Ye Qingyu was shaken by the shiny bald head, and said with a gentle smile: "This must be the Liuli Buddha of Xuankong Temple who Xiao Jiang often mentioned to me, the little holy monk of Jingli!"
She knew that Ku Jue and Jing Li, the masters and disciples, were very good to Jiang Wang, so much so that she now had a favorable impression of the entire Buddhist sect. Monk You Fang never left hungry when he came to Yun Kingdom.
Jingli opened his innocent eyes: "Who are you? My junior brother has never mentioned you to me."
Jiang Wangchu was in the middle and quickly came to introduce: "This is my good friend, Xuankong Temple Jingli. This... is also my good friend, Ye Qingyu of Lingxiao Pavilion. We are all familiar with each other, let's chat more.
We already know each other, haha.”
Ye Qingyu smiled and said: "The little holy monk Jingli is an expert in Buddhism. He values the four elements and is empty. He must be impatient to chat... I just seemed to have seen Zen Master Pu'en in Mount Xumi. Would you like to go and see the little holy monk?
Let’s discuss Buddhism?”
"There is nothing to discuss." Jingli said carelessly: "My master said that Buddhist orthodoxy lies in Xuankong, and Xuankong orthodoxy lies in the Three Treasures. I will not go with those side sects——"
He suddenly frowned: "Did you just say, Pu'en?"
This name sounds so familiar.
Is he the one his master told him to beat up whenever he meets him in the future?
"Yes." Ye Qingyu said.
Jingli had a pure mind and always did whatever came to his mind. He immediately started to roll up his sleeves: "Where is it?"
Ye Qingyu pointed in a direction, and he suddenly felt like a wild horse... and was grabbed by Jiang Wang.
"The banquet hasn't started yet, so don't start fighting with others casually. I don't care whether Dragon Palace welcomes you or not. You can save your energy and compete in the back, and make money while fighting. Isn't it cost-effective?"
Jingli was full of admiration: "Junior brother is so smart!"
Ye Qingyu secretly thought it was a pity.
But the monk rolled his eyes, took out a bamboo hat and put it on his head: "I'll go and observe secretly first."
He is not stupid to perform rituals!
It is said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. Why don't you hit a sap first with a sack?
There was no need for Ye Qingyu to think too much, he just left in a sneaky way.
This way of observation makes it difficult not to be observed by others.
But Jiang Wang also let him.
This is not the time to worry about purification rituals.
Jiang looked at the back of the little holy monk and said calmly: "You know, he is a monk. There are some things I can't talk to him about..."
"Something...what is it?" Ye Qingyu tilted his head and looked into his eyes.
"What..." Jiang Wang struggled to organize his words in the barren depression of words.
Ye Qingyu stood at the corner of the Dragon Palace Banquet where the geniuses gathered from all over the world to gather for a grand event. He pressed forward step by step: "What?"
Suddenly there was a loud shout, which startled both of them.
"Jiang Wang!"
Xu Xiangqian stood up at a more conspicuous position in the hall with his increasingly bright forehead and waved vigorously.
The loud noise attracted the attention of everyone in the palace.
Who can come to the Changhe Dragon Palace for the banquet today, which one is not a genius? Which one has no status? Everyone sat down, a few acquaintances gathered together, and talked in low voices. Such noisy things are rare.
Of course, the name 'Jiang Wang' is also the focus of attention.
Zhao Wuyan, who was standing behind Xu Xiangqian, moved to the side without leaving a trace, probably not wanting to be lumped into the same category as him.
He didn't realize it at all, but still said loudly: "The two heroes of Ganma Mountain are reunited here today, and this time the Dragon Palace Banquet is of great value!"
The Dragon Palace Banquet is a one-person-one-seat banquet. It doesn’t mean that everyone sits around and eats at a big table together.
It was not yet time for the main banquet, the dragon king had not yet appeared, and the guests had not arrived.
There are many food tables in the hall, and they are piled with all kinds of rare fruits.
Dragon Palace waiters wearing different styles of attire from various eras stand beside the crystal pillars, waiting for guests to be summoned at any time.
Xu Xiangqian was annoying and a bit embarrassing, but Jiang Wang was still very happy to meet him here.
It is said that meeting an old friend in a foreign country is one of the great joys in life.
He immediately made a gesture to Ye Qingyu and strode forward to greet him, with a smile on his face: "Screaming so loudly, I thought you were practicing a lion's roar!"
Xu Xiangqian didn't seem to understand this euphemistic reminder, or he didn't listen to what Jiang Wang said at all, and laughed loudly: "I did have a god come to me as soon as I slept. It's really simple!"
"When did you leave the Snow Country?" Jiang Wang asked with a smile.
"Yes, I became the Goddess last year! Alas, I don't study hard, and I waste time. My master often said that it would be such a waste to give me such a good talent!" Xu Xiangqian sighed, looking left and right again. : "Huh? Li Longchuan, Yan Fuzhongxuan beat them?"
Without waiting for Jiang Wang to answer, he sighed again: "Oh, that's right. Not everyone is invited to the Dragon Palace Banquet. After all, they haven't come yet."
Jiang Wang couldn't bear it, and raised his hands to stop him: "Okay, okay, it would be rude to say anything more."
Xu Xiangqian stretched out his hands and held the upright palm intimately: "The distance between me and my former friends is getting farther and farther, which is not what I want. Brother Jiang, I am so lonely! Only you can understand me! I know that my brothers are temporary. , when you look around you see a lot less people!”
Ye Qingyu originally wanted to say hello to Jiang Wang's good brother, but after he walked over, he couldn't get a word in.
What a secret!
The two of them were chatting about their own things, but they could still have such a happy conversation.
Worthy of being friends!
Jiang Wang pulled out his hand hard and refused to continue the topic of the divine presence: "Let me introduce, this is Ye Qingyu of Lingxiao Pavilion."
Xu Xiangqian took a serious look, thought for a moment, and suddenly clapped his hands: "I know! The one shaking hands with you on the river viewing platform! He was still wearing a veil at the time!"
He suppressed his voice again and imitated in a very artificial way: "Congratulations, you are number one in the world."
Ye Qingyu was not shy, he smiled generously and said: "Congratulations to you too, you are really a genius when your spirit comes to you as soon as you sleep."
Xu Xiangqian gave Jiang Wang a look of approval, and then waved his hand to Ye Qingyu: "False reputation, false reputation, I don't like to mention this."
He took another big step back and retreated to the side of Zhao Wuyan, and said enthusiastically: "Jiang Wang doesn't need to introduce me anymore. I mainly want to introduce to Miss Qingyu - this is Zhao Wuyan from Longmen Academy."
After the introduction, he grinned: "You know."
Jiang Wang saw Zhao Wuyan with a look of disgust on his face but did not refute. For a moment, there was some real admiration in his eyes. The so-called fair lady, a gentleman is very brave. He chased her from Huai Island to the Snow Country. Did she really call this guy "Qiu"?
Privately, he would laugh and scold Xu Xiang for eating swan meat with a dry toad.
At this time, he said seriously: "Miss Zhao is knowledgeable in hundreds of schools of thought, and brother Xiangqian is sincere and enthusiastic. The two of you are indeed a good match!"
Zhao Wuyan nodded gently in gratitude.
Xu Xiangqian smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed, and waved his hands and said: "What a good match but a bad match, and they haven't been officially engaged yet! We Confucian disciples, when it comes to the word 'ritual', we cannot make private arrangements. I have written to my teacher, He will choose a good day to go to Longmen Academy to propose marriage to me."
Zhao Wuyan looked at him in surprise: "How come I don't know what happened?"
"Don't you know it now?" Xu Xiangqian was extremely happy: "Don't I want to give you a surprise?"
Zhao Wuyan is a very independent person, and he never likes the feeling of being arranged, but when he saw Xu Xiangqian's crumpled smile, he couldn't help but laugh too. He reached out and pinched him: "What's the surprise? Yeah. You can make your own decisions!"
"It's wrong, it's wrong! I know it's wrong!" Xu Xiangqian hissed in pain: "Can you do it next time? Ask your teacher to go to Qingya Academy to propose marriage to me!"
Zhao Wuyan's hands became even heavier: "Why do you have such a big face!"
Zhao Wuyan, who is usually calm and cool, plays with a little temper like a little girl. Xu Xiangqian, who usually doesn't care about Si Liu, looks weird and overflowing with happiness.
In this Long River Dragon Palace.
Also in the bits and pieces of their past experiences.
Jiang Wang looked at them gently with smiling eyes, feeling a kind of quiet happiness in a place that should have been turbulent.
