Chapter 49: The Great Journey 14, Trial of Water, Magic Spring Project
When traveling as a dignified half-immortal, do you need to do the routine of dragons flying in the clouds, tigers roaring in the wind, flowers blooming and cranes flying together, and sometimes they line up in an S shape and sometimes in a B shape?
don't want!
Absolutely not!
Even though I have read 300 articles on the art of defense against fans, it is really uncomfortable to travel like a celebrity. If this happens once or twice, I am surrounded by people every day. Isn’t that a monkey? I came to the Kingdom of Zhou just to have a good time.
, who knew troubles would come one after another. Now that I finally have a rest, the fool flies into the sky.
Tang Shidao drove a crane chariot to the capital and asked Prince Zhou for a token and a sum of money.
You have to get tokens, which can reduce the trouble when playing.
after.
Too lazy to pay attention to those immortal fans, he pulled Su Honglin and walked out of the imperial city.
Walking out of the streets of the capital, Su Honglin dragged Tang Shidao to a beautiful Moxiang mansion. The guards in front of the gate were six powerful and restrained soldiers. They were brave enough to wear swords and armor in the capital area.
, it can be seen that the owner here is not an idle person. Tang Shidao was wondering why Su Honglin knew such a person, and the door opened in advance again.
"Miss Su, welcome, this old slave is very polite." What greeted him was an eunuch whose clothes showed that he still held an official position.
"Eunuch Luo is polite, is aunt here?"
"Here, Su Guiren is taking a rest." Eunuch Luo spoke softly, not daring to show any signs of neglect.
Tang Shidao was surprised and asked with his eyes.
Su Honglin smiled and held Tang Shidao's arm as she entered, and said as she walked: "Master, this is my aunt's new home. Because the master rewarded her with the elixir, her aunt has regained her youth, and your Majesty took her in with kindness and has been living here ever since.
Hong Lin is very relieved with this result, it is enough for Auntie to live a stable life."
Tang Shidao turned around and asked.
Eunuch Luo immediately responded as soon as he saw it. There was no need to guess the identity of the person in front of him: "Hui Xianzun, this matter is true. Your Majesty believes that since noble Su can obtain the immortal medicine, he will naturally have immortality, not to mention that he is Miss Su's aunt. Your Majesty originally said
I wanted to welcome Su Guiren into the palace, but I was opposed by the ministers because of my status, so I placed it here."
Tang Shidao understood after hearing this.
This is not only caring, but also rolling into a bed.
Enter the house.
Su Honglin's aunt also came out and saluted immediately when she saw Tang Shidao. Tang Shidao signaled that there was no need to be polite and asked Su Honglin to talk to her. Although she had regained her youth, Aunt Su was not a very beautiful woman. She could
Catching up with the Emperor of Zhou must have been a psychological effect of that guy. He would naturally focus on getting a woman who had taken the elixir into the palace.
There are many beautiful people in his palace, and what he wants is this kind of person with immortality.
on the other hand.
Su Honglin became his servant and got involved with the immortal. Emperor Zhou thought that if he captured Su Honglin's young aunt, he would become close to the immortal.
Tang Shidao didn't pay attention to such messy things.
Let nature take its course.
After a while, Su Honglin came out.
Her face was a little red with embarrassment, she didn't dare to look at Tang Shidao, and she didn't know what her aunt said to her.
"Are you done talking? Let's go." Tang Shidao didn't think too much, although some things were already at his fingertips. However, these were not considered yet.
"Okay." Su Honglin agreed softly, and followed her like a daughter-in-law.
For the convenience of playing without being disturbed.
Tang Shidao put on an illusion mask, while Su Honglin wore a veil. The two of them were like a young couple on a trip. Su Honglin took Tang Shidao's arm and slowly walked into the bustling streets of the capital.
have to say.
No matter Tang Shidao or Su Honglin, neither of them set foot on the street in such an "ordinary" way.
This was the first time for Tang Shidao to walk on the streets of an ancient city. Su Honglin had traveled like this before, but there were at least dozens of pretentious students and celebrities in front of him, and it was impossible to keep a low profile. It felt like they were being cheered by each other.
Everyone likes it, but living a life of being surrounded by people every day may not necessarily be a happy life.
"This feeling now is very strange." Su Honglin was once an oiran, so she is naturally good at talking.
"How wonderful?"
"My mother once said: If you don't see all the prosperity, you won't know what it's like to be ordinary. I used to be supported by everyone, but I've never been as peaceful as I am today." Su Honglin sighed.
"Calm down, okay?"
"Master, can I tell the truth?" Su Honglin asked.
"Um."
"Actually, I don't hate hugging each other, and I once enjoyed that feeling. However, I later learned that it was not true. I once went to the Fish and Dragon Festival with a group of scholars, and I thought it would be a very pleasant thing.
.Because my parents have said since I was a child that there is nothing more pleasant than going to the Fish and Dragon Festival. However, I was not happy that time."
"Trouble happened?" Tang Shidao asked with a smile.
"No, no, the whole process went smoothly, without any surprises at all. Everyone behaved well in front of me, and not even a single bad word was said."
"Then why are you unhappy?"
"Because I was very tired. I kept smiling throughout the whole trip. Even if I didn't want to, I had to keep this smile in front of everyone. Even when they explained some things, I pretended to listen carefully. Even I
I have to remember it and think about whether it is mentioned in ancient books. If necessary, I will also chime in with a sentence or two to make them feel that I am listening."
"..." Tang Shidao was speechless.
"At first, I thought that although I was very tired by doing this, everyone would have a pleasant journey. Later I found out that I was wrong. Not only was I pretending, but they were also pretending. They were afraid that they would appear innocent in front of me.
Knowledge, they tried their best to explain something they didn’t understand well. Maybe they had come over in advance to check it out, for fear of losing face in front of me.”
"..."
"That time I knew that not only was I very tired, but they were also cautious for fear of making mistakes. In the end, I couldn't even remember what I played, what I ate, and what I saw. I kept laughing and accompanying them throughout the whole journey.
I was talking, but I couldn’t remember what I did that day. I was only sure that I didn’t make any mistakes. When I went back, I felt very happy that the day had finally passed.”
"You're asking for trouble." Tang Shidao suddenly understood why Su Honglin wanted someone to accompany her on the trip.
in memory.
Su Honglin has always believed in his parents' words and believes that the Fish and Dragon Festival is the most fun festival.
However, she tried, but all her hard work was in vain.
She was unwilling to do so.
It's not because he didn't have a good time, but because he was unwilling to destroy his parents' "happy" memories. By exchanging a secret for a wish, Su Honglin wanted to restore the happiness described in his parents' education.
She believed in her parents' little happiness and wanted to experience it herself.
"Master, you know I'm just a singer. I needed some protectors at that time, and I had to please them like this." Su Honglin smiled bitterly thinking of the old things.
"As a singer, aren't you afraid of someone taking advantage of you?" Tang Shidao understood how low the status of the Flower Boat Singer was.
"So I have been staying on the flower boat. If something like this happens one day, I will jump into the water and escape. Master, if you hadn't come, I would have done the same even if the young prince of Le County forced me to do so. I am a half-mermaid,
Even three or five people can't stop me. When I enter the river, no one can do anything to me." Su Honglin said with a playful smile.
Tang Shidao smiled. He also knew that Su Honglin had a certain amount of magical power.
indeed.
Three or five people can't help her.
"I'm very happy now, really happy. Master, do you like this kind of ordinaryness?"
"Like, I am an ordinary person."
Su Honglin smiled.
Whether she believed it or not, this kind of unrestrained and carefree play was the happiest thing now. Tang Shidao was visiting ancient times for the first time, and Su Honglin was because she didn't have to think about anything and could wholeheartedly savor this ordinary life.
smell.
Since the two of them were dressed luxuriously, they didn't dare to cause trouble without opening their eyes.
that's all.
After visiting the capital, Tang Shidao looked for other unique ancient cities to visit. All the way south, the Fish and Dragon Festival started a month later, and the two of them just happened to catch this event. I have to say that the Fish and Dragon Festival is really "elegant"
The two words have nothing to do with each other. It is not suitable for celebrities and scholars at all, but only for ordinary people to fool around and have fun.
This is a big eating party, a big dancing party, a big shouting party, and a big crazy party.
In short.
There is everything here but nothing polite.
Tang Shidao and Su Honglin were also fully immersed in it. They held hands and danced with a group of unknown young men and women, found a bunch of unfamiliar food to eat, watched a group of unknown performances, and listened to a series of
I roared and sang without knowing what to say, and even looked at countless handicrafts that I didn't understand.
This is the Fish and Dragon Festival.
It’s a grand event where you don’t need to understand the metaphor at all, and you just want to be immersed in happiness with everyone.
Unconsciously.
Su Honglin was completely attached to Tang Shidao. It seemed that at this moment, she and Tang Shidao had assumed the roles of parents. The two of them just enjoyed the ripples in silence, and nothing happened in the end. Su Honglin also felt that this
This feeling is wonderful and I don't need anything more.
The second day of the Fish and Dragon Festival.
Tang Shidao bought a clever little monkey who played the gong in the circus, and then teleported back to Yunzhong City.
Infused with the energy of the Life Stone.
The little monkey immediately transformed and became stronger and smarter. However, it was still far behind Xiao Jin, and at most it was similar to the Xuanwu Beast. Tang Shidao's appraisal results showed that the little monkey's growth rate was much higher than that of the Xuanwu Beast. After all, it
It has been fused with a life stone. However, it cannot fully absorb the energy of the life stone now and has yet to grow.
Tang Shidao gave it a try.
Unexpectedly... I passed the third level.
At this moment, Tang Shidao realized: Yulong Immortal was not asking him to cultivate any magical beasts, but he was asking: Have you read the research materials I left? If you have, you must know how many ways to use the Life Stone.
, you will definitely be able to pass it. Didn’t you watch it? That would be a pity.
Invisibly.
Yulong Immortal is 'inheriting' his knowledge to himself bit by bit.
Tang Shidao doesn't think too much about it for the time being.
The fourth level is the Water Trial. The task is to upgrade the current magic spring or build a new small magic spring.
As expected.
This is still related to the legacy of Yulong Immortal, and to this Yunzhong City. The first four of the five tasks were deliberately arranged by Yulong Immortal in the form of "teaching". After completing these tasks, you will also have the ability to inherit these researches.
ability.
At first, Tang Shidao thought it was to make things difficult.
Who knows, it's just like what Scarecrow once reminded: real elders never make things difficult for their younger generations. They give tests just to test whether you are qualified to inherit their inheritance.
So this kind of trial is not so much a test as it is a guide.
"Magic spring..." Tang Shidao corrected his attitude.
