Chapter 1 He had no intention of making jokes
He didn't intend to make jokes, it's self-evident
When my No. 90 asked Si Ming Xingjun about Huaxuan's whereabouts nine times, he sat quietly in front of the chessboard, holding a cold white chess piece with his right finger, without raising his head, and asked calmly.
"Do you love Huaxuan?"
This was the first time he spoke to me.Although I begged to see him a long time ago, his attitude was extremely unfriendly.I am a noble dragon, so I have been asking for a visit with such a proud head, but he has been avoiding it, which makes me very uncomfortable.However, maybe only he can help me. I have already made up my mind that if I fail to return this time, I will visit the house for the hundredth time in two days.
Hearing his question, I replied softly: "It's not love, but she is very important to me."
The air seemed to be frozen for a while, and finally, with a "pop", the chess piece fell down crisply.Si Ming Xingjun raised his head and looked at me, his lacquer-like eyes had a glimmer of light.
"I just ask you to tell me where she is now."
If there is one person in the world that I can never forget for hundreds of years, looking for it in the poor blue sky and down in the underworld, it can only be Huaxuan.
I have always doted on Huaxuan deeply, although no one has ever known about it.Whether this fatal pampering can be attributed to love, no one can be sure.I just feel that somewhere, she was never supposed to be someone I could love.
She is the princess of the Yu Dynasty Kingdom, but she doesn't look like a princess.It was so noisy that it couldn't stop for a moment.She wanted to use my dragon beard to turn the flower rope, so I reluctantly pulled out one and gave it to her.As a result, she was curiously watching the maidservants playing a hundred tricks with their fingers flying, while clumsily and flexibly tossing the dragon's whiskers in her hand into ugly knots.
She wanted to use my dragon horn as a whetstone to sharpen her peerless sword, so I gritted my teeth and let her sharpen it for half an hour.The sword was much sharper, but my dragon horn was so hot that sparks came out.That guy was fine, so he just used it as a match to light the charcoal, sat beside me happily and ate the barbecue.
She also had quiet times, that time she looked at the round silver moon in the sky in a daze, and her expression seemed a little sad.
"Hua Xuan." I couldn't bear to see her hypocritical appearance, the dragon's body coiled around her in the center, and called her softly.
But she pointed to the round silver moon in the sky and asked me to pick it for her.
I looked up at the bright moon, speechless to the sky, but Huaxuan's fingertips flicked on me with a "ding", and smiled slyly, "You Jun, your dragon scales are brighter than that of the moon, send them to me." A good piece."
Of course I didn't want to, so she swiped a large indelible cinnabar pen and wrote the four characters "This pig is waiting to be slaughtered" on my scales.
I was so angry that the dragon's beard trembled, and finally threw the scale to her in disgust.
In fact, I almost obeyed Huaxuan, because I am the guardian dragon of Yuchao Kingdom, and it is my duty to take care of her.The second is because of the huge Yuchao Kingdom, she is the only one who dares to play with me.Three, because she has an indescribable sense of familiarity.
What's more, when I look at Huaxuan, I always have a compassionate heart that overlooks a mortal.Human life is like morning dew, but my life is far away. It is nothing if I can try my best to meet all of Huaxuan's requirements in my lifetime.However, I never thought that when she was 20 years old, it was me who left first, and there was no way to realize her wish for the rest of her life.
The whole country celebrated that day, and the palace was very lively with singing and dancing.On such an important day, I have to guard the safety of the country, so I cannot be with you.Huaxuan and her friends drank and had fun all night long, and when she stepped into Longtan, the sky was already pale.
"Why did you drink so much?"
I coiled up the dragon's body and let her sit comfortably next to me.Huaxuan's body is actually very fragile. If I were by her side, I would definitely not allow her to be so presumptuous.
She wrapped her fingers around my long beard, and shook her head, and replied, "Human, I want to drink when I'm sad, and I want to drink even more when I'm extremely... happy."
"happy?"
She buried her face in my neck and replied in a muffled voice, "Happy."
I know she is actually unhappy, but I don't know why she is unhappy.Seeing that she was unwilling to take the initiative to mention it, I had no choice but to ask her: "This year, what birthday gift do you want?"
Huaxuan turned around and faced me squarely. For the first time, she was very close to me.She stared at me blankly for a while, then replied drunkenly: "You."
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell asleep on my pillow.Although she smelled of alcohol, she didn't smell bad at all. The inexplicable sense of familiarity came straight to my face, and this shameless child said that she wanted me, which made me blush with embarrassment.
However, I found out later that what she wanted was really me...my life.
Because, the birthday gift she asked me for turned out to be a throne.
The heirs of the Yu Dynasty, regardless of gender, can succeed to the throne. As the guardian dragon, I have always controlled domestic affairs, and I only respect the destiny and never violate it.According to the destiny, Hua Yun should inherit the throne, but this Huaxuan asked me to abandon her elder brother and defy the destiny to embrace her, which is tantamount to pushing me into death.
Several times of persuasion and negotiation failed, so I finally couldn't help asking her angrily, why do you mortals like to mutter about my fate?
"Ordinary people are like this." Hua Xuan looked directly at me with firm eyes, and said word by word, "You Jun, you will agree."
I looked back at her eyes as deep as a clear pool, and I agreed to her by accident.
Huaxuan stepped into the resplendent palace on my blood.However, Hua Yun, who was originally appointed by the destiny, was ordered by Hua Xuan to be imprisoned for life for the crime of conspiracy.At that time, I thought I would be lost forever, but I was able to retain the broken soul, which was sealed by her in the mysterious bead in the palm of my hand.
Seeing her regain her composure, she looked down upon the world.I recalled the first time we met when she was six years old.I heard at the time that the youngest princess was the most beloved daughter of the emperor at that time, but she was congenitally deficient, weak and sickly, never stepped out of the palace, and was raised in a medicine jar.My own yang energy is too strong, and if it is too strong, it is easy to cut down the emptiness. Therefore, the first time we met was when I was at my worst.
The enmity between Yuchao Kingdom and Shuyuan Kingdom has a long history. When Huaxuan was six years old, a tragic battle broke out. I was seriously injured, and I was raised alone in Longtan.
The whole country is busy recuperating, and it seems that they have forgotten me who almost died for the country on the battlefield.
Alas, this is the case with the Divine Dragon of Protecting the Country. You protect the country, who will protect you?
Maybe the injury was too severe, but I couldn't help but stare at my bruised appearance in the pool, complaining so hypocritically.
The only time in my life when I looked at myself and felt sorry for myself, the little Huaxuan suddenly appeared, with a bright smile on her thin face, and she walked in front of my huge original body with a calmness that did not match her age, and called me by my first name , as if he was already familiar with me.
"You Jun, do you know that you can transform into a human form?"
I know, I sneered at this stupid question, I know it, but I have never transformed, why should I transform into a human body in front of this group of people, isn't the dragon body more noble and domineering?
"Hey," she shook the jade bottle in her hand, "Quan Yuchao's best medicine, I can give you the medicine if you transform into a human form. Otherwise, it won't be enough to apply to one of your eyes!"
Hmph, who cares?
She turned her bright eyes, and suddenly her tone softened, "You Jun, you see, I have been a patient all year round, and I can best understand the patient's mood. Listen to me, okay? Let me take good care of you."
Before, I only thought that this guy was really arrogant, but now I thought about her makeup and words carefully, and realized that she was Huaxuan.
It seems that the Yu Dynasty Kingdom treats me well after all. If the princess is concerned, I should still show some face.
The first moment I transformed into a human body, I was hugged tightly by her.
The pain from the wound, and the numbness of not knowing what to do ran all over the body.She tried her best to stretch her arms around me, probably wanting to hug me more and tighter, but she didn't dare to use too much force.The moment I let go, I saw her slightly red eye circles.
I couldn't help laughing secretly, I was such a child who had never seen the world, and I wanted to cry when I saw such a small injury.
The heart is like a breeze blowing through Longtan, gently rippling the waves.
So far, I have my first friend in this life. She never fears me like other princes and princesses. Only then can I have more than ten years of precious farewell to loneliness in thousands of years of loneliness.
Only then did I realize that it wasn't that she hadn't seen the world, but that I hadn't seen the world.I have been trapped in Longtan for a long time, and all the worlds I know come from her mouth.When she told the anecdotes and strange things in the world, she was full of treasures and eloquent. She really didn't look like a princess who lived in the deep palace for a long time, but like a storyteller in a teahouse and wine shop.
I have always known that she is very smart and knowledgeable, but I did not expect her to be so well versed in the great wisdom of governing the country. Perhaps it is because she has read a lot of historical scripts and seen some tricks. Yuchao Kingdom has become more and more prosperous under her governance. Convince everyone.
She should be very happy when her wish came true, even though... she sacrificed me... But Huaxuan, why do you always have tiredness and sadness hidden in your eyebrows and eyes every time you caress the beads?
Thinking about it this way, Huaxuan is really a cruel person. This can be clearly seen from the way he gave me medicine when we first met.I deliberately screamed for pain, but she didn't blink her eyes or shake her hands, and kept insulting my dignity as a dragon, saying that I was fragile.
After becoming the emperor, she became even more cruel. She imprisoned her elder brother and did not spare herself. The 20-year-old Huaxuan, no longer smiles, she stands alone at the highest point of the palace, and there is no trace of wanton nonsense in the past.
During those days, the warmth from Huaxuan's fingertips always came gently through the beads, becoming the only temperature I could feel.But one time when I went to court, Huaxuan didn't bring me who was placed in the pearl with me.So I don't know, on that day, she officially abdicated to her nephew, Mi Chang, whom she carefully cultivated.I don't know, that day, her voice was still echoing in the hall, but she fell weakly on the cold dragon chair and never woke up again.
The palace people only regarded me as the emperor's favorite pearl, and buried me in the imperial mausoleum accompanied by Huaxuan.To me, it was like a dream, I was stuffed into Huaxuan's cold and stiff hands, and she was lying quietly in the coffin, motionless, lifeless.
I heard the loud cries in the imperial mausoleum, like huge waves repeatedly hitting me.I saw the courtiers sobbing on the long white jade steps, bowing their bodies like shrimp soldiers, and trembling like sifting rice.
"Your Majesty was originally weak and weak, and he almost died when he was six years old. Fortunately, God is not willing to let Yuchao Kingdom lose a wise king. However, His Majesty is overworked every day, so young..."
The last one to leave was the prime minister of the Yu Dynasty Kingdom. He wept until he fainted in front of the imperial mausoleum, and was carried away by the palace people.The hustle and bustle gradually faded away, and the imperial mausoleum will fall into eternal silence.
The beads that sealed me suddenly shattered into powder—I never expected to be healed, but I was born again.
However, Huaxuan... her eyes that always shone with a sly light will never open again.The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she had finally fulfilled a wish.
At that moment, the heart-piercing pain engulfed me like a raging wave, and it was even thousands of times more painful than when I was punished by God for going against my destiny to help Huaxuan.My hands couldn't help trembling, and I gently stroked her cheek.
Before I could figure out the ins and outs of the incident, Hua Xuan's body had already turned into tiny stars, and after that, this person was nowhere to be found.Floating down from the sky above the coffin were the dragon whiskers and dragon scales that I had gifted to her back then.
Looking at the ridiculous dead knot and ridiculous handwriting, my heart is full of depression.
Huaxuan's dejected look when he stroked the beads kept appearing in front of my eyes. She must have hidden too much from me.But for hundreds of years, I have searched for her everywhere and made many inquiries, but found nothing.I have to ask Si Ming Xingjun. The current Xingjun is called Zheyu. Although he is not very old, his ability is far superior to that of the previous Xingjun. Wizards' grandfather was even better.Knowing the secrets of heaven and earth, he will definitely know Huaxuan's whereabouts.
The hateful thing is that this guy still has nothing to say. He has repeatedly emphasized coldly that there is no such person as Huaxuan in this world.I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and unwillingly asked him the truth about Huaxuan's death.
With a calm face, he picked up a black stone to block his white stone's escape route, and responded grandly: "Some people are destined to only walk with you for a certain distance. This person is gone, so why should you struggle with it?"
