The Legend of Manhua

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, Manhua felt something strange. When he walked in until he could see the verandah directly without being blocked by trees, he saw a man with jade hair tied in a navy blue brocade suit and a milky white light shirt sitting on the ground. On the verandah, the expression is chic and elegant.

"Yunxi." Man Hua called his name and approached.

"I'm back, sit down." Yunxi naturally sat cross-legged on his side, and Manhua sat cross-legged across from him.

"It's a pity that there is no wine. We can't drink with each other."

"It seems that you get along very well with that Lian Shang Xianjun." Yunxi's tone was a little strange, but Manhua only took it as a casual teasing and didn't answer, instead asking: "Are you here to find Yaodan?"

"Yao Dan sent a letter back saying that he was in the ghost town. I will not mention this for now. I came to you for another matter."

"what happened?"

"East Lake flows through the southeastern tributary of the Huling Kingdom, also known as the Dajing River. The river overflows, causing severe floods for the nearby people, and there are many casualties."

"Oh, you came to ask me for help."

"You really know how to push the boat smoothly. It's your business to help."

"My business?" Manhua didn't understand.

"Aren't you promoted, Manhua Mingjun, who is in charge of insects, fish, birds and beasts in the world, why don't you see you doing things?" Yunxi shook his head: "Tiangong really has no choice."

"I wasn't familiar with it at first. Lian Shang was in charge, but I didn't hear anything from him."

"Immortal Lian Shang is lacking in avatar skills. I heard that Yin Liguo has been doing a lot of strange things recently."

"What's the matter?"

In fact, the flooding of the Dajing River is mainly due to the wind. Every few days there will be a strong wind, and the strong wind will make the Dajing River unable to operate normally. Not only that, the river water spread to the outskirts of the city, submerging many families who settled down along the river, causing death or injury.

Donghu learned the news and thought it was a monster in the water, so he immediately came forward to deal with the matter, but no abnormality was found in the water. Later, he gradually learned that the flood of the river was caused by the wind, and where the wind came from was a problem. Sometimes it blows from the west, but in short, it blows from the direction of the river or against the direction of the river, which is beyond the control of East Lake.

"Why is this my business?" Manhua asked.

"Because of a strange incident, in a small village fifty miles from the east to west of the Dajing River, according to the villagers there, it is already late autumn, and the climate around the village is still as hot as summer. The village stands against a mountain called Zhishan. Even the soil is hot and cracked, the vegetation is dry and dead, and the sound of 'clang clang' is always heard in the deep mountains. It seems that there are incredible birds and beasts, but when you look, you can't see anything. The insects, fish, birds and beasts are under your control. , can you tell me whether you should take care of this matter?"

"It's okay to go, but you should go too."

"Me? I've already done this, so it's not bad."

"In any case, the branch of East Lake killed people."

"Aren't you going with Immortal Lian Shang?"

"Lian Shang hasn't come back yet, probably because he has other things to do. Go ahead and understand the situation better."

Yunxi thought for a while, and said, "Go, but I can't go up that mountain."

"Okay, just wait for me at the foot of the mountain."

……

When we went there until noon, all the people in the village agreed to go to a cave at the head of the village to rest in the cool. Although the temperature here is always high, it rains almost every day. If there is no rain for two or three days, there will be strong wind and strong wind. When the Jingjiang River was in trouble.

The weather is not good for crops, but other places have already entered late autumn, and there are no good crops. The previous stockpiles and food are enough, so the people in this village don't think there is anything at present.It’s just that sometimes I feel uncomfortable listening to the unknown sound of birds and beasts, or the heat is unbearable. I always drink water. The water source nearer to me is almost dry, so I have to go to a higher place to find a clean water source. , It is really troublesome to transport the water back, but now I can think about what to do if there is no water in the future, of course, it is not a problem at present.

In short, the villagers rested in the cave, talking and laughing, and it was not boring.Yunxi stayed and stayed with the villagers in the cave. For him, chatting with mortals sometimes would always yield different results. It is something that can be met but not sought after.

"Young man, you are quite handsome. Are you married? Which girl is so lucky?" A dark-skinned middle-aged man is skinny, but he is quite energetic and speaks in a full-bodied way. farmers.

"That's right, I've wanted to ask a long time ago, with such an extraordinary bearing, I'm afraid it's the son of the big city." Seeing that Yunxi just smiled, someone exclaimed: "Eh, I'm afraid he's not a relative of the emperor."

"What am I marrying? My elder brother, the one who just went up the mountain hasn't married yet." Yunxi sat on the stone bench and replied with a smile.

"Since ancient times, it has been right for the elder brother to be the first, but young man, let me tell you, don't follow the rules, or you will be delayed." At this moment, a woman spoke.

"Why?"

"I think you are handsome and free and easy, and you are very kind to my daughter-in-law at first glance, but your brother... hey, don't blame us for being a woman, your brother is not serious."

"Not serious?" Yunxi laughed when he heard him, and when he saw him smile, the woman dared to speak out: "Like your brother, he is not a person who walks on the right path. How can ordinary girls control him? That figure and appearance It’s nothing to say, even if you can’t draw such a good painting, it’s just a little dangerous.”

"Danger?" Hearing this word, Yunxi smiled and nodded in agreement.

"I said that there are countless matchmakers. To be honest, there is no such woman who is not fascinated by such a man, but look at the bold and fearless expression on his eyebrows and eyes. How can ordinary people catch his eyes, and to his wife... it is hard to say, high above, can't do it." I'm afraid I won't spoil my wife with an attitude of docileness."

"Hey, it's strange for you to say this. Where do people say that it is what it is, and the elder brother has not married a wife, so you just make a conclusion, young man, don't listen to these words, nonsense .”

"Why am I talking nonsense, Zhou Dagui, can you speak?"

"I can't speak?"

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, Yunxi hurried out to smooth things over.

"According to this, I should persuade my affectionate sister to give up?"

"Sister, brother? You..."

"Oh, I met him outside, we are not brothers."

"Wait a minute, we would rather demolish a temple than a marriage. Of course, the temple cannot be demolished either. Young man, tell me, let's analyze it for you and your sister."

"That sister of mine likes him very much, and she is considered a childhood sweetheart. She loves and protects him desperately, but...things are difficult."

Upon hearing this, the villagers were all in high spirits, answering questions very vigorously.

"It's said that men chase women across a mountain, and women chase men into yarn. I think this can be done."

"It seems that this word is not suitable for them."

"That's right, fallacy, let me think about it, does your brother know about this?"

"I don't know." Yunxi shook his head and said.

"It looks like a poor girl. Does she look... No, it's just for you. Your sister should be pretty good."

"Flower face and moon appearance are unparalleled in the world."

"Tsk tsk, it's amazing, it's so beautiful, to be honest, tell your brother directly, it will definitely work."

"If it doesn't work, it will be hard to see each other in the future. This is my sister's concern. Besides... my brother seems to like someone, but they are not together right now. Do you think it is okay to stick to it?"

"Perseverance, you must persist, it is not easy to meet what you like, how can you give it up."

"Hey, you have a problem. People say you like someone. Let me tell you, based on my experience, if this man is not with the person he likes, but when he meets someone he likes, he will go crazy and deny his relatives. Abandoning the family is commonplace."

"Why are you so angry? People are talking about my brother."

"Everyone, let me interject. In fact, women want to find someone who likes them a lot, and men want to find someone they like a lot. It's that simple."

Yunxi thought for a while and asked, "Are they all men?"

"Male, man?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Forget it, I understand."

Yunxi waved his hand, expressing his reluctance to continue.The cave was quiet for a long time, and the embarrassment was relieved only after hearing the continuous sound of 'Qing Qiang'.

"That's the sound. We followed the sound to find it, but it was too hot when we reached the top, and we couldn't go up at all."

"Well, probably some kind of bird or beast."

……

Until Manhua came back, the original awkward atmosphere reappeared.

They left until they could no longer see the village, and Manhua asked, "Why are they staring at me in horror?"

"Maybe something about you made them uncomfortable."

"what?"

"There will be, and part of the thinking is imprisoned. Hey, you have been there for so long, did you find anything?"

Man Hua was distracted, and took out a multicolored feather from her sleeve, about a foot long.

"With such long feathers, why does it look like a phoenix?"

Manhua replied: "It belongs to Phoenix."

"You saw a phoenix or a phoenix inside, so you won't kill it?"

"No, when I got to the top, I saw this feather stuck on the ground, glowing red and dazzling, and the heat emitted was almost inaccessible. Only then did I realize that it was because it caused the ground to be very hot, and the wind was very strong above, so it didn't move at all. I So I cast a spell to suppress it, and as a result, there seemed to be something flying in the red light, making a mournful 'clang clang' sound, thinking it might be a phoenix inside, but I couldn't see it clearly, so I brought it down after completely suppressing it."

Yunxi took it over and looked at it over and over in his hands. He had been to the Fengling clan, but he really couldn't tell who it belonged to, not even if it was Fengling or Huang.
