The day of fortune-telling for the dragon

When we set off, Grandma Hua told me to leave, but no one saw me off.

Old Dao stood aside, still riding his old donkey, with a limp little child tied to its back.The newborn baby has not even opened its eyes. Such a small doll is so weak that it seems to be able to float, and it does not have the roundness and vitality of ordinary babies at all.Grandma Hua held a piece of red string in her hand, and tied it around his short pale ankle carefully, with very light movements.

"Anan, I will be with my mother-in-law from now on."

She picked up the child, tied it in her arms with a cloth, and hung the package heavily behind her back.In order to walk the mountain, she specially took a crutch, and one end of the crutch poked the ground and sank into it softly.Country women don't bind their feet, so they walk very safely.The morning mist receded, and for a while, the forest slowly disappeared like the figure of a person, and it was a cloud from the bottom up.

"Old fairy, give this child a name." Grandma Hua said.

"Pianyin fate must be suppressed with the words of blessing, wealth, and honor, but your baby can't bear the words that are too ostentatious. Wang Ruixuanxiang can't use it, so use the word for jade, let's call him Huajue, Shuangyujue." Taoist protector said, and added, "It's a pretty word, too."

Grandma Hua kowtowed to him again: "Mr. Xie gave my grandson a name."

Xiao Huajue was taken away after she was born, and she couldn't drink a sip of breast milk.The old Taoist fed him a liquid that looked like water and dew. The breath was clear and sweet, and he was mixed with his own blood from time to time.When Grandma Hua asked about it, he said: "This is the bright water of longevity, which can be found in Xianzhou, and it can temporarily suppress his over-exuberant aura of astrology. It will be better when he grows up, his body bones grow, and his breath is harmonious. Don't drink this clear water."

After drinking it, Xiao Huajue did not cry or fuss, and she slept more peacefully.Hua Jue was a little too quiet when she was a child, and she can see her cute appearance in the future.

However, after Grandma Hua left the mountain city and saw the town below the mountain for the first time in her life, she encountered her first problem: Xiao Huajue started to cough up blood and coughed profusely all day long.

The old Taoist said: "It won't work like this, you have to go to Zhengyang place within half a month, otherwise he won't be able to survive."

Grandma Hua became anxious, and several strands of her hair turned white overnight: "In our Xingzhou, it is said that the fastest horse will take two months to reach the imperial city. What should we do?"

"The reason why the imperial city can become the place of Zhengyang is because where the emperor is, the dragon energy is strong, and the dragon is a thing of Zhengyang." The old man thought thoughtfully, "But I have another way...A few days ago, I I have seen a dragon. Mrs. Hua, go to Jiangling instead. On the top of Heji mountain in Jiangling, there is a dragon temple dedicated to the real Cihang. The gods there are kind and can protect your grandson. Remember, go to Don't go to other places after he is here, leaving the land of Zhengyang, he will only become weaker and weaker, and he will die."

Grandma Hua hesitated a little: "Old Immortal, can I really not bother you to come with us anymore?"

The Taoist protector smiled, walking together these few days, the old man suddenly showed a little tired look, if others don't observe carefully, he seems to be aging faster and faster day by day these few days.He patted the old donkey next to him: "I still have important things to do, please burn a few more offerings to the dragon god over there for me."

Grandma Hua still wanted to worship, but was stopped by the old Taoist, and handed over a kit: "I have not said a word about your child's life experience, and I have written it all in this bag. You can open it again after he is ten years old." stop."

Grandma Hua took it and bowed her head deeply: "I understand."

Xingzhou is not far from Jiangling, ten days' drive away.

After the people left, the old man took the little donkey for a walk, bought a scented tea cake and broke it in half, chewed half of it himself, and fed the other half to the donkey.After that, he didn't eat for several days, and his donkey didn't seem to be hungry either.

"How do you know? So what if I don't know? If I had seen Ning Qing's life experience earlier, I wouldn't have watched him die so early in vain, and he would have to suffer from this after death." The old man sighed and asked the donkey beside him, "Old friend, you feel the same way, life is hard."

The old man just wandered around aimlessly like this. No one in the strange town recognized him, but some people would come to ask or ask for a favor because of his bearing; the old man declined all of them.A few days later, when the rainstorm came, the old man held a lamp and found a dilapidated Taoist temple on the side of the mountain. Looking at the light, he slowly closed his eyes and swallowed his breath.His donkey hunched him on the back, the old man's body was limp, as if he was lying on the donkey's back after being drunk, and he didn't look much dead.His little donkey carried him all the way to the river, took him into the river, let the water cover them inch by inch, and let the reincarnated soul float to the mouth of the sea.

On the other hand, Jiangling had just recovered from a fierce battle. The city lord of Jiangling entered the mansion and was ordered to build the mansion in the former Ziyang Palace.With Hua Jue on her back, Grandma Hua accidentally saved a young man's life. Because of this, she got the support from the city lord of Jiangling, allowing her to find a courtyard and settle down.

Her grandson finally stopped hemoptysis, day by day, and the illness in the mother's womb seemed to be cured.

Jiangling is really another dragon city; Jiangling really has her and her grandson's nobles.Grandma Hua went to Heji Mountain as scheduled, and paid homage every day. Later, as she got older, she couldn't climb the road, and the frequency gradually decreased, and she asked others to offer incense for her, but it never stopped.

Hua Jue also slowly grew to be ten years old, and ten years have passed.

That night, the crane's ridge moved, and the mountain god knelt down to admonish the head, welcoming the dragon to break the restriction and return to his place.But Yazi did not come out.

The mountain god asked the question sincerely, and received a piece of dragon scale the next day, and wrote a letter: "Someone here needs my protection."

"Who is it? Since you have prevented your lord from returning to his throne, why not let me take your place and keep him safe for the rest of his life." Shan Shen said.

Yazi didn't reply.

The dragon at the bottom of the well had already broken free from the chain, and he could not find the trace of the person who sealed him in this world.He doesn't resent the mortals entrusting him to suppress him. Instead, he is willing to replace the mountain god, protect one side of water and soil, and balance the waterways in all directions of Jiangling.

He knew that there was a child with a heavy yin in this land, and once he returned to his position and left, that child would fall into inevitable decline without the blessing of positive yang.Through the woman who visited him during that time, he knew that the child's name was Huajue.

"Dragon God, please keep my grandson safe." The woman turned into an old woman, and her figure became increasingly stooped.

"He will be safe." God speaks, but mortals should not.

"Dragon God, my grandson can't eat meat and meat, he is overcome by the resentment of the spirits of the dead animals, and he is getting weaker and weaker day by day. Is there a way to break it?" The last time I saw her, the woman's head was already full of white hair.

The god entrusted her with a dream that night and told her: "From now on, all the people in my rivers, lakes and seas can be eaten by him without resentment."

What will such a delicate boy look like?

He waited day after day, wondering which day he would be able to see it, but he didn't know which day it would be, and when that mortal was about to die, he could finally leave the highest point in the mountain, where the whole Jiangling looked down upon, and go to Just look at his little old friend.During this period, the woman did not come again, and he discovered again that there was no breath of that woman in the world.

From then on, he understood that people have birth, old age, sickness and death.

Suddenly he also understood his younger brother who was the most ignorant in the heaven, there are so many things they don't understand in the human world, why is it that Xiaofeng is trapped in the human world?

Yazi is still guarding there.During this period, there were frequent landslides and floods in Heji, and a large number of residents moved to other places, and even the offering of incense and incense became less and less.He didn't realize that his body was getting thinner and thinner, becoming as easily broken as dry thin soil. In another ten years, after he got used to this day-to-day loneliness, he saw someone coming to the well again.

It was a young mortal, with a gentle and soothing scent like that of the old man, and a gentle and warm scent like that of the woman.She was dressed in red, her hair was braided with a red rope, her eyes were clear and meaningful, and her eyes were as bright as the broken gold on the osmanthus tree in the Moon Palace, which could be pieced together into a star.

Suddenly it was like a spring breeze overnight, but this mortal seemed to be such a gust of wind.

He figured it out, this was the person he had guarded for 20 years.

The man was tearing the charm off the mouth of the well with his hands.Yazi smiled, and was about to raise his head to tell him that the spell had already expired, but his body collapsed the moment he looked up at him—it collapsed like smoke, starting from his stretched neck, the gods greeted him. to die.After the dust fell away, only a dusty egg was left in place.

This is chance.This time the judge pen wants to show them something.

It is the opportunity of Hua Jue and Ya Zi.

After the illusion ended, Hua Jue's mind went blank. Xuan Long and him walked back to the Crystal Palace from the air. Hua Jue fell down and was hugged by Xuan Long.The egg next to it made a crisp sound, and the second crack opened.

Hua Jue was full of complicated emotions and didn't know what to say. She thought about the elders she had never seen, who almost gave him half life, but he had never heard of the old Taoist, and also thought about Yazi, who had silently protected him for 20 years and died in the well. , he couldn't make a sentence, he could only wipe away his tears and choked up for a while.Xuan Long looked at him tenderly, knowing that this guy loves to cry, so he patiently let him lean in his arms.

"Look, your life is so precious, don't let them down, just live your life happily." Xuanlong said in his ear, "Don't let me down, if you die early, you will say it in the future." I will bully you once, don't think I dare not bully you."
