Chapter 2018 February 2

On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head.

It is suitable for offering sacrifices, breaking ground, raising beams, and making alliances.

The Dragon Palace Banquet begins.

…

In the upper half of the Yellow River, in the range overlooked by Tianmayuan, it is 90,000 feet deep under the water of the long river. A magnificent palace finally separated the turbid waves, unveiled the curtain of time and space, and lifted it before people's eyes.

It upholds the ancient architectural style, tall, magnificent, and majestic. The courtyard pillars are like pillars of heaven, and the palace gates are like gates of heaven.

The palace walls are built with huge translucent crystal square bricks. You can't see the top when you look up, and you can't see the end when you look left and right. With the vastness of the long river, people worry that it can't accommodate it.

The wall has mottled traces of time. It is not the weathering of ten or a hundred years, but not only the blowing of thousands of years, but the turning of a great era after another. The tide of the times has swept away everything in the past, leaving only the indelible mark.

It is a living fossil from ancient times, and it is history itself!

Jiang Wang is now standing outside the palace gate of the Changhe Dragon Palace, as if he has come to the era when the demon clan was supreme in the heaven and the dragon clan claimed to be above the heaven.

Exaggerated dragon patterns can be seen everywhere in front of him, and the vast waves are right above his head, and he can also see big fish swimming by. But it seems to be in another time and space, out of reach.

What a great power time has!

It has also wiped out the splendor of such a miracle of creation.

There used to be at least tens of millions of creatures living here, so that such a magnificent building would not look so empty.

Now at a glance, there are only a few.

It is said that the number of aquatic creatures living in the Dragon Palace is no more than ten thousand.

It is like a huge lake with only a few tadpoles swimming. No matter how you look at it, no matter how lively they are, it is inevitable that it is empty and cold.

The sound of the surging waves is very far away, but at the bottom of the long river, there is no ups and downs.

It is quite like "thunder surrounds the body, and you can drink leisurely tea".

The invitation to the Dragon Palace Banquet carried with him shone brightly, announcing the arrival of the distinguished guest.

A male aquatic creature with a horizontal bone on his forehead and whose species could not be identified, wearing a long robe made of special materials from ancient times, greeted the guests outside the palace gate with the Cloud-walking Etiquette that conformed to the etiquette of the Dragon Clan: "Dragon Palace attendant Ping Qing, in compliance with the Dragon King's Jade Order, welcomes Mr. Jiang Wang and Master Jingli into the palace."

Of course, if we really want to talk about ancient etiquette, the Cloud-walking Etiquette of this Dragon Palace attendant is itself an act that is not in accordance with etiquette.

The Cloud-walking Etiquette is a special step used by the Dragon Clan to welcome distinguished guests. When walking, it brings up flowing clouds, which is elegant and graceful without losing its dignity. Only the Dragon Clan can do it.

And it is well known that... there is only one real dragon in the Changhe Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Palace Banquet invites the geniuses, and Jingli is of course among them. There is also Jinghai from the Dragon-Subduing Courtyard in the Hanging Temple, who also received the invitation, but since Jingli has set off, there is no need for him to come again.

Jingli cannot not go with Jiang Wang, he has to watch over his junior brother.

It was also the first time to visit the Changhe Dragon Palace. Everything was new to him. When he saw the Dragon Palace attendant coming to greet him, he waved excitedly: "Junior brother, let's go!"

Jiang Wang did not move: "Don't worry, I'll wait a little longer."

"Waiting for what?" Jingli was a curious monk.

"Waiting for someone."

"Waiting for whom?" Jingli asked to the end.

Jiang Wang smiled and said: "Little holy monk, why don't you go in first to help me explore the way, I will come to find you later."

"Forget it!" Jingli shook his head vigorously and grinned: "I want to wait with you."

At this time, the Dragon Palace attendant who was waiting for them silently spoke: "This door opens the time and space projection. The time and space of the guests entering the Dragon Palace are not consistent. You can't wait for anyone here."

I was wondering why there were only him and Jingli at this huge palace gate. I thought they came too late.

Jiang Wang was not embarrassed.

He just stood quietly outside the palace gate and glanced into the distance. He felt that at this moment, in a certain time and space, there was also someone waiting for him.

This feeling is very peaceful.

"Then I'll have to trouble the waiter to lead the way." He said.

"You're welcome." Ping Qing, the waiter of the Dragon Palace, walked in front and led the two human geniuses into the Dragon Palace.

The three figures walked in the huge country, like ants crawling in the ancient temple.

Jingli had his own focus. 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 of 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 temple are the same."

Jingli emphasized again: "I am a vegetarian."

Ping Qing said: "I have prepared vegetarian food for you."

In this way, with Jingli's questions one after another, they passed through the majestic palace gate like a sky arch, walked through the square with various dragon stone sculptures, and passed the arch bridge across the galaxy...

Came to a hall.

This hall uses the starry sky as the dome and the waves of different eras as the floor tiles. There are no walls on all sides, and it is infinitely broad. Rather than a palace, the palace is a world. There is infinite brilliance and endless romantic fantasy.

Jiang Wang first saw a beautiful woman standing not far from the door, with her hands behind her back, looking at the pattern on the floor tiles boredly.

Her profile cannot be said to be exquisite, but jade carving and mist drawing, as ethereal as a fairyland.

Today she was wearing a cloud-white neutral long gown, with her long hair tied up with a jade crown, and the ends of her hair simply hung behind her, giving her the flavor of a graceful lady in the world.

She was naturally Ye Qingyu.

They had communicated by letter before coming here, and they agreed to meet outside the palace gate to see 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 ruffled her eyes, and the reflection of her green shirt in her eyes shook a little. It makes people's hearts feel leisurely.

Jiang Wang said: "They say there is no one waiting outside the palace gate."

Ye Qingyu smiled and heard the clear water flowing in the stream: "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 moved forward calmly, his eyes wide open and his ears pricked up.

Who is this evildoer? !

Ye Qingyu was shaken by the shiny bald head, and said with a gentle smile: "This must be the glazed Buddha of Xuankong Temple who Xiao Jiang often mentioned to me, the little holy monk of Jingli!"

She knew that the pair of masters and disciples, Ku Jue and Jing Li, were very good to Jiang Wang, so much so that she now had a good impression of the entire Buddhist sect. When monk You Fang came to Yun Kingdom, he never left hungry.

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, Jingli of Xuankong Temple. 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 Xumi Mountain. Would you like to go and see the little holy monk? 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. Let's not say whether the Dragon Palace welcomes you or not. Isn't it cost-effective for you to save your energy and spar in the back, and earn a fortune while fighting?"

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 every 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 little holy monk's back 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 and pressed forward: "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 a banquet today, who is not a genius? Which one has no identity? Everyone sat down, a few acquaintances gathered together, and talked quietly. It's rare to see such a fuss.

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. He probably didn't want to be classified with him.

He didn't realize it, but he 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 work hard, and I waste time. My master often said that it was such a waste to give me such a good talent!" Xu Xiangqian sighed and looked left and right again. : "Huh? Where is Li Longchuan, Yan Fuzhong, and Xuan better than them?"

Without waiting for Jiang Wang to answer, he sighed heavily: "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 palms 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 my brother from a distance. , there are a lot less people when I look around!”

Ye Qingyu originally wanted to say hello to Jiang Wang's good brother, but after he walked over, he couldn't say a word.

What a secret!

The two of them were chatting about their own things, but they could still have such a happy conversation.

You deserve to be 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, 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 very 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's disgusted face but did not refute. For a moment, there was some genuine admiration in his eyes. The so-called fair lady, a gentleman who is very aggressive, chased her from Wai Island to Snow Country, did she really make this girl arrive?

Privately, he wanted to laugh and scold Xu Xiang for eating the swan meat.

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, waved his hand and said: "What a good match but a bad match, we haven't been officially engaged yet! We Confucian disciples, the word 'ritual' is not allowed to be privately engaged. I have already 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 when?"

"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 stretched out his hand and pinched him: "What a surprise. You can only 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? You ask your teacher to go to Qingya Academy to propose marriage to me!"

Zhao Wuyan's hands became even heavier: "How come you have such a big face!"

Zhao Wuyan, who is usually calm and cool, behaves like a little girl. Xu Xiangqian, who usually doesn't have sex, looks weird and is filled with happiness.

In this Changhe 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.
