For the man in white he met when he was five years old, King Yi can even remember the first sentence he said.

"Close your eyes." Then he added:

"If you're still scared, put your arms around my neck."

The man's voice was cold, and his body was also cold, but his hair was very black, soft like satin, and his body exuded a fragrance. The young King Yi was still a little scared at first, but he never leaned into his arms. From the first moment, he felt an inexplicable peace of mind.

Later, although his father hunted, he saw the lake in the early morning of late autumn. The huge lake was damp and cold. At that moment, he thought of the man in white.

That should be a fairy.

Only an omnipotent immortal can walk through the entire Huaiwu Imperial Palace unscathed like a leisurely stroll in a time of chaos. Only an immortal can have satin-like black hair and a deep and elegant fragrance. Only a fairy is worthy of wearing that flawless white body.

Only a fairy can search for 13 years without any results.

Thirteen years ago, the Immortal in White took him away from the Huaiwu Palace in turmoil. Without knowing it, he lay on the Immortal's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up again, he was already in the imperial tent. , and no one can tell how he came to the Yulin Army camp ten miles away.

No one was even suspicious of this extraordinarily strange situation.

But Yi Wang remembered it very clearly, not only clearly, but also he could not forget it for many years.The first emperor passed away three years ago, and King Yi inherited the throne. The first thing he did after assuming the throne was to issue an order to let all the Taoist temples and temple abbots in Huaiwu have an audience. He asked them carefully one by one, like a faint king: Wait Have you ever heard of such a fairy in white?Slender, black-haired, and most importantly, smells good?

This is too broad, everyone shook their heads, fearing that they would lead the wrong way and be punished. King Yi was very disappointed, but he did not give up. He summoned capable people from all walks of life to the palace to tell him the myths and classics, but he couldn't find them anywhere. .

So King Yi's expectations were still in vain.But he still didn't give up, and always remembered Bai Yixian over and over again, hoping to think of other clues.When he was a prince, he marched and fought, and when he saw him in a daze, someone came to ask him, and he answered truthfully: I was thinking of the fairy in white that I saw when I was five years old.It is so conclusive that there are facts, and anyone who asks will tell them, and they have told the truth.There are many people who listen to it, and it is inevitable that there are various opinions, but gradually they are unified into one:

When immortals go down to rescue children, don't they generally accept children as apprentices?It seems that King Yi's bones are extremely poor, and he can't cultivate immortals.

Yi Wang also knew what others said about him. He didn't believe it at first, but after searching for so long, except for the glimpse when he was five years old, Bai Yixian never appeared again, so he began to believe it.

The story of King Yi's "unable to cultivate immortality" was widely spread, and even the enemy generals shouted on the battlefield:

"Ask that wishful thinking Yi Wang to come out. I heard that Yi Wang is a rare beauty. If you double cultivate with grandpa, you may become a fairy!"

Shuangxiu with him, the immortals don't know if they don't, but this person was later captured by King Yi's army and hung on the city tower, with his head hanging on the city gate for three days and three nights.Huaiwu annexed his country, King Yi's illustrious reputation spread all over the world, can't he cultivate immortality?His name is used to scare children at night, which is better than ghosts and ghosts.

The more he can't do it, the more reluctant King Yi is. He is building a "White Immortal Temple". As a new fairy, no one in Huaiwu will buy it. The harvest is bad, so goodbye; the harem is empty... King Yi blushed and went to say goodbye.

Coincidentally, King Yi is lucky. He always wants to get what he wants, what he does, and the implementation of the New Deal is very smooth. Years of wars have ended in victory. The harem is empty. Isn't this the saint who came back?

It is said that in the year when King Yi became the crown prince, the saint should enter the palace to accompany them, and they have been inseparable ever since. Wanted to be a doctor, bid farewell to Yi Wang when he was 16 years old, and secretly went out of the palace over the wall, until recently, finally came back again.

She came back, and not by herself.

The saint returned to the palace with two carts of air-dried souvenirs. King Yi sat behind the table with his hands on his cheeks, watching her show off one by one the gifts: this is sea salt, this is dried bat meat, this is dried carnation flowers... …

They were all useless things that were not worth a few bucks. Yi Wang suspected that the two carriages hired by the saint were more expensive than this.

"Your gifts are too..."

"Huh?" The saint wiped the sweat off her face and took out another one: "This is a rabbit scarf."

Yi Wang touched the smooth and white scarf—soft and soft.King Yi was struck by a strange cute spot in his heart, silently put away the scarf, and ordered someone to take it down and keep it for collection.

The personal servant pursed his lips and smiled, and King Yi was annoyed: "What?" The personal servant was as old as King Yi, and they also grew up together. Hearing the words, he was not afraid, but jokingly said: "The king said Not good, but the gifts sent by the saintess are always treasured carefully."

One sentence was so embarrassing that King Yi and the Holy Maiden couldn't lift their heads. The little servant went to order someone to deliver something, and only King Yi and the Holy Maiden were left in the hall. The pair of childhood sweethearts who had known each other for thirteen years and had been together for more than ten years looked at each other. blushing.

The saint thought to herself, so he accepted all my presents—hey, you, why are you always so duplicity?

However, King Yi was thinking about the treasures he treasured: the lustrous pearl bracelets, the exquisite Hetian jade hairpins, the sweet and sweet Nanjiang melons and fruits...they are all the best things, but I don't know when the Bai Yixian will come back. Will come again, I don't know if there is a chance to give these things to him in this life.

Just like that rabbit scarf - Yi Wang treasured all the things that he thought were worthy of being a fairy in white.

The future young husband and wife looked at each other, their minds were full of fantasies, but they thought of completely opposite things.After a while, the saint blushed and said, "Brother Yi Wang, I have something to tell you."

"Tell me." Yi Wangdao, his childhood sweetheart for more than ten years, everyone said that the saintess should be the person he loves the most in the world and who understands him best, but is that really the case?He didn't know either, he only knew that they were destined by nature, and there seemed to be an invisible force that tied their fate firmly together.He has always been omnipotent to the saint.

The saint came to sit beside him, and Wang Yi pushed the snacks on the table in front of her.

The saint said: "Your Majesty, I may have met your white-clothed fairy in the Western Regions this time."

Yi Wang suddenly stood up: "Is this serious?"

The saint was so frightened by him that she spilled all the tea, "This... is almost inseparable." As she spoke, she told one by one what she had seen and heard during the journey. On the windy sand, trapped in the desert and unable to escape.When I was in despair, a camel came from far away from the sky, and a man in white was riding on the camel. The wind and sand was so heavy that day that I couldn't see the face of the man in white, but I could vaguely smell the distant and mysterious fragrance. The wind and sand filled the sky, But people in white are not stained with dust.The man in white walked up to her and asked, "Miss is lost, do you need an escort?"

At that time, the saint felt that she was going to die, so she nodded quickly when she heard the words, and the man in white took her out of the desert.

After listening to King Yi, his sourness was beyond words:

"I sound like an ordinary passerby."

"It can't be a passer-by." The saint said, "He gave me this." She spread her palms, revealing something.King Yi took it curiously and looked at it: it was something like a fish scale, but it was bigger than a fish scale, soft to the touch, hard in texture, and glowing with the colorful luster of mother-of-pearl. Wang's cognition of the world's treasures.

"What is this?" He thought to himself that the saint was being deceived again, but the next sentence of the saint made him almost throw the thing away:

"This is the dragon scale." The saint said, and then talked about what happened when she returned to the city - the man in white put the saint in the inn in the city. , the man in white stared blankly at Epiphyllum in the courtyard for a moment, and suddenly handed something to the saint.

"This is the dragon scale. If you need me, you can use the dragon scale to cast spells and find me with the dragon summoning spell."

The saint was deeply moved and at the same time puzzled: "Why are you so kind to me?"

The man in white said: "You remind me of an old friend."

The saint said, "So that's how it is."

In the next day, the man in white left early, and the saint set off for the Huaiwu capital the next day, so she came here to report to King Yi.

After she finished speaking, she smiled a little cutely: "Brother Yi Wang, are you happy?"

"I'm happy...you ghost." Yi Wang murmured, "You are clearly a charlatan! How can you compare with my fairy in white!"

In fact, he was overwhelmed with jealousy: Bai Yixian only said three words to him, and it made him think about it for 13 years. The saint once laughed at him, but got a dozen words and a piece of... dragon scale?

"So, he is the divine dragon in the sky." King Yi murmured, and the saint asked, "What?" As he said that he was going to take away the dragon scales, King Yi withdrew his hand and said righteously: "This thing It must be fake, but Ambilight is pretty good, it matches me very well, so I will keep it for you."

The saint was just sharing her knowledge with him. Fish scales can still be used as medicine, and dragon scales are not so useful. She wanted to grind it up and study it, but she was detained by King Yi?She felt a little unhappy, but it soon disappeared.

She has nothing to do with King Yi, especially when King Yi puts his hands in his hands and looks like a rascal, she just thinks: forget it, look at you so good-looking, so I don't care about you anymore.

What's more, King Yi didn't take it in vain, he said: "I also prepared good things for you."

Talking and calling people to pass on the delicacies and wines, all prepared by the royal chef with great care, and there is also a volume of ancient medical books, which are said to be treasured in the home of the new champion of science. King Yi kept his heart, so he kept it for the saintess to study.

When the saint heard this, she felt sweet in her heart, and said, "I have long missed the sweet-scented osmanthus wine from the palace!"

The monarch and his ministers had a drink together, and they were also very happy, but the happiness didn't last long, and the prime minister came.As soon as the prime minister spoke, King Yi didn't like to listen.

The prime minister is here to urge the marriage. King Yi has been on the throne for three years and has not yet married the saint. Now he is an older single young man. The whole country is very worried about his mental health and Sheng Sheng's health.

King Yi was furious when he heard this, and told the prime minister to leave.The saint was a little disappointed when she heard this, so she also left.

She slowly walked to her bedroom. Since entering the palace in 13 years, her parents have almost lost their relationship. In this world, King Yi is her only relative.Along the way, they were all respectful and respectful when they met maids and servants. The whole palace, no, the whole Huaiwu, had already regarded her as a queen. It was her last wish fulfilled.

but……

All Huaiwu are waiting for their golden boy and jade girl to get married. When Yi Wang was young, he seemed to have said that the saint is beautiful and liked to look at her, but the older he got, the less and less interested King Yi was in getting married. Now, every time he mentions getting married, King Yi always talks about him.From the saint's point of view, King Yi tried his best to find the man in white, but he was actually avoiding getting married.

"What exactly..." She silently thought about her own concerns, and walked into the bedroom.

At the same time, King Yi was sitting in the palace, rubbing the dragon scale in his hand, and also fell into unrequited love that was out of reach.

Given a piece of dragon scale, then he is a dragon?It turned out that he was a dragon.King Yi casually opened a book of myths and monsters on the case. The book was somewhat damaged, but there was only a few records about an ancient "tea fairy" mentioned in the book, and it was not even possible to test whether there was such a person. But a pair of pictures in the book has the charm of the fairy in white in his memory.He cherishes this book very much, flips through it often, and sometimes becomes fascinated unconsciously, and it takes hours to read it.

He turned to the page where the dragon was recorded. He had never thought that Bai Yixian would be a majestic dragon, so he never cared about it. He read it carefully and stared at the illustration - in the picture, the dragon soars through the clouds, Very mighty.According to the book, the dragon is the head of a hundred scales, its movements are erratic, and it likes beautiful and bright things...

something beautiful and bright...

Touching the scales, King Yi thought to himself, it is logical, he is such a clean and elegant person, only beautiful and bright things are worthy of him.

I just don't know what kind of thing is enough to say "beautiful and bright"?

Would he be willing to come to see me if he could offer something beautiful and bright?

Unknowingly, he came up with a daze, touched the edge of the dragon scale with his hand, and accidentally made a cut, and the blood gushed out and stained the dragon scale. King Yi panicked, and hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve:

"No, don't get dirty!"

Everyone said that he was extremely weak and could not cultivate immortality. He didn't believe it at first, but after so many years, how many 13 years did he have? In the past 13 years, he has been sincere and sincere, and there has not been a day when he is secretly looking forward to the return of Bai Yixian, but Bai Yixian never returns, so probably he is indeed very weak and cannot cultivate to be a fairy.He gradually believed in it, and when he thought of Bai Yixian, he often felt a little more ashamed.

But he still didn't regret it, he was still wishful thinking that one day Bai Yixian would come back and fulfill his childhood dream.

But if Bai Yixian really came, what would he say to Bai Yixian again.He may ask, do we have a predestined relationship in previous lives?

He opened his palm, and there was a crescent-shaped scar on his palm. Whenever he rubbed the scar, some memories that did not belong to him appeared in his mind, but they were very vague. Sometimes he was a young boy, and sometimes he was a general on the battlefield , the fairy in white is always by his side.

Bai Yixian always doesn't come, he sometimes feels that these "memories" are just his hallucinations.

but……

King Yi stood up and called out in a loud voice: "Come here, get water!" He sent everyone out before, but now there was no one in the hall, and the blood flowed more and more, and the dragon scales had been stained. I was so anxious that I didn't care about the pain of the wound, but I was afraid of staining the scales.

"Come..." His voice stopped abruptly, just because...just because a person suddenly appeared in front of him.

I don't know where it came from, and I don't know where it will go, it just appeared there so suddenly.

The white clothes fluttered, and the hem of the clothes hung down like stacked clouds, soft and soft.

Yi Wang was stunned for a moment, unable to believe his eyes.

"You..." He was only stunned for a moment, and then the good reaction he practiced on the battlefield came in handy. He stretched out his hand suddenly, and grabbed the man in his dream who was so close but seemed so far away.

The man in white was a little surprised when he saw him, and then he grabbed him, and his reaction was even greater. He almost subconsciously backed away. How could King Yi let go? go.

boom!The two fell together, King Yi frantically supported the ground, trying to get up from the man in white, but he pressed the man's sleeve for a while, and was afraid of pulling his hair for a while, so he fell on the man, like a disciple, occupying everything. cheap.

"I, I'm not..." Yi Wang became more and more anxious. Seeing that the ears of the man in white were gradually turning red, and some red clouds were flying up on his face, a small piece of his cheek was slightly swollen, as if he was gnashing his teeth. Yi Wang said: "I didn't mean it." of!"

"Then get up!" the man in white said angrily. When he opened his mouth, King Yi froze again, as if he was about to cry.

It was him, it was him!I can't admit my mistake, this voice... Even if I only spoke three words with him in this life, it is as clear as seeing each other day and night.Yi Wang stared blankly at the face of the man in white—this time he finally saw his facial features clearly. He was born beautiful, thousands of times more beautiful than Yi Wang imagined.King Yi wanted to touch his face, but remembered that his hand was hurt, so he switched to another hand, and was grabbed by the man in white. Only then did he realize his abruptness, stood up in a hurry, and wanted to pull the man in white again, but he had already Stand up by yourself.

The four eyes met, Yi Wang was a little dazed, he didn't know what to say, the man in white suddenly said: "The dragon scales I gave to others, why are you here?"

Yi Wang said: "You mean the saint? She is mine..." He was in trouble for a moment, not knowing how to describe the relationship between the two, the man in white frowned and said, "Of course I know, she is your future queen."

King Yi was stunned for a moment, and said in frustration, "Yes, she...is my future queen, this dragon scale...is it really you who gave it to her?"

In fact, what he wants to ask more is, why did you give it to her?

Is it her bones, or is there another chance?

He is jealous and wronged, obviously he is the most devout believer in the world!He built a fairy temple in white clothes, and the saint just gnawed on an apple and watched from the sidelines.

How did she beat me?

Bai Yixian frowned at him, and after a while, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "It's just entrusted by others, don't think too much about it."

As soon as King Yi heard this, he immediately cheered up. It turned out that he was entrusted by others, so he said that the saint can't beat me!Seeing him smiling happily, the man in white didn't see the slightest bit of infection, but he was still so indifferent, and said, "...give me your hand."

"what?"

"...the hand, the injured one."

"Oh, oh." Yi Wang said, handing over his hand, the fairy in white waved his hand, and the wound disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"It really is a fairy!" Yi Wang muttered to himself, grabbed the wrist of Bai Yixian and said: "Immortal, I..."

He didn't know what to say, so he said the first sentence that appeared in his mind in a hurry:

"Can you teach me to cultivate immortals?"
