More than a year after they parted, Xingyan and Ju Ying met accidentally in Shuiyun Villa, the prefect of Yulin County.

Under this bright moon, on Luqiu Lake, on the Yudai Bridge, Xingyan Juying and the other two answered the words and phrases of past joy, and savored the meaning, they were all a little dazed. When they looked at each other without saying a word, they forgot all the existence around them; under the Yudai Bridge, there were only circles of ripples surrounding the young man who was floating and sinking, spreading around. Unconsciously, a feeling that had never been before began to spread quietly between the two...

After a moment, a gust of lake breeze blew, and Xingyan finally woke up. Seeing that Ju Ying looked at him with bright eyes, he smiled slightly and said:

"Ju Ying, I didn't expect to see you here. I just heard the song and realized that you were here."

Looking at the smoke waves around, Xingyan felt a little embarrassed:

"Actually, my qi came here because I couldn't recognize the road in the village. I had to come here in a hurry by stepping on the water, and I happened to practice Taoism..."

"I know."

Ju Ying, who was half leaning against the railing, smiled with a pursed lips when she heard this.

Just as Xingyan was talking, the water moon was bright beside the Jade Band Bridge. In the bright moonlight, Ju Ying could see clearly that the young man with Lingbo in the clear waves under the bridge had a tall figure rising and falling with the waves; when the blue shirt swayed, he seemed to be a god who broke through the water. After more than a year of separation, he met again. The girl was a little shy to find that the young boy from Raozhou in front of him now had a bit of handsome and elegant aura. When he was in a singular manner, a hint of shame appeared on his pretty face.

Just as Ju Ying's face was flushing slightly, Xingyan was also smiling at her. Under the bright moonlight, this girl in white, who was already in a state of glory, now looked even more graceful and beautiful, and as bright as a fairy. Looking at Ju Ying, Xingyan said to her heart:

"The distinguished guest was Ju Ying; the previous praise from the county magistrate Bai is really not an over-reputation."

He now knew that the distinguished guest in Baijun Governor's mouth must be Ju Ying. Just when he came to the waves, many figures ran out of Yingxian Taichung; Ju Ying just gently flicked her sleeves, and those people remained silent and waited quietly in the dark moon shadow.

Thinking of this, he remembered what he was doing. After thinking about it for a while, he told the girl on the bridge:

"Ju Ying, in fact, Qiong Yu Xueyi and I are visiting Mr. Bai's mansion, but we are leaving the seat halfway. Now that we know where you live, I will come to you tomorrow; you should take a break soon."

It turned out that Xingyan remembered what Bai Shijun said before that Ju Ying was not used to the crowded places, so he was going to let her rest earlier. However, after saying such concerns, he somehow regretted it. While he was worried about gains and losses, he saw that the beautiful girl on the bridge thought for a while, then raised her hand to put her hair up, sang a sweet smile at herself, and said softly:

"Xingyan, Sister Qiong and Sister Xueyi are here too. I haven't seen each other for a long time. I want to talk to them now, okay?"

When he heard this, the Lord Shangqing Hall, who was a little regretful, felt relieved. Looking back at the smoke behind him, Xingyan bent down and gently placed the red lotus in his hand on the water surface, allowing it to go with the flow, and then raised his head and smiled at Ju Ying:

"I'll take you there."

So, the guests in the Pinliu Pavilion saw the young man between the water and the moon, caught the girl who jumped down and returned with his arms. In the smoke and water of a lake, the two of them returned side by side. In the movement, they controlled the wind with their void and floated, and they seemed to be a fairy god who was walking on the slightest steps of the wave.

Just as everyone was stunned, the Qingyun Taoist in the seat seemed not to be watching the two young men and women who were acting like immortals. Looking at the spreading fish-scale cloud formation in the west, Qingyun was shocked and puzzled:

"Is this the 'Zhaoyun' of the Seventy-Two Earthly Demons'?"

It turns out that the cultivation of this Taoist Qingyun is definitely not as shallow as the surface. Xingyan just now when he was playing the flute, the sound of the cold flute contained the meaning of "water dragon roar". Before he knew it, the clouds in the west sky gradually expanded into a formation. If this situation is seen in the eyes of others, he can only say that the clouds in the sky are gradually rising; but when it falls in the eyes of Qingyun, it is another situation.

Not to mention that he was shocked and confused; let’s talk about Xingyan, and took Ju Ying back to the pillow platform, calmly returned to the seat, and smiled at the strange-looking owner Bai Shijun:

"Young Master Bai, I didn't expect that I would meet an old friend in your mansion."

After saying that, he turned his head and signaled slightly. The girl beside him stepped forward and bowed, and said with a smile:

"Marquis Baijun, Xingyan is my old friend of Juying. It's a coincidence that I can meet today."

Bai Shijun was also a person with exquisite orifices. When he heard Ju Ying's words, he immediately reacted, got up quickly, replied with a smile and said, "It's really a coincidence." When Ju Ying knelt down next to Xing Yan, her skirt was covered with white clouds, Bai Shijun looked at her and saw that she was kneeling like two other girls, and she was holding the ordinary women's rituals in the world.

Seeing her like this, Bai Shijun and the confidant counselor on his left looked at each other, with a look of shock and suspicion in their eyes. During the whole meal, only he and this confidant counselor Xu Zifang knew Ju Ying’s true identity. Who is this young man? Even if his magic is so brilliant, how can Ju Ying treat him like this?

Just as Bai Shijun was full of suspicion and didn't know what it felt in his heart, he heard Ju Ying smile at him and said:

"Young Master Bai, Zhang Xingyan, Mr. Zhang is my good teacher and friend in practicing Taoism. Like Qiongzu sister Sister Xue Yi, I also called him the 'Lord'."

Her words were like a lightning illuminating the fog in her heart in an instant, and Bai Shijun immediately shouted:

"Zhang Xingyan is the new Zhongsan doctor?!"

It turned out that Ju Ying's words were connecting what Bai Shijun knew about the things he knew about, and immediately reminded him of the mansion report from the capital a year ago. At that time, his adoptive father Chang Yihou sent someone to spread a message, and once told him that it was a newly-respected leader of the Shangqing Palace. He was not old and was praised by the emperor for helping Nanhai County to suppress bandits. He directly promoted him from the grass to the Zhongsan doctor. According to his adoptive father's eyes, he found that he seemed to have the power of the beautiful little princess.

At that time, after hearing the news, Bai Shijun just smiled. Although it was indeed an honor for a civilian Taoist who was named Zhongsan Doctor by the Imperial Mountains and the entry into the gentry class from then on. However, this kind of thing was just something that Bai Shijun was thinking about, but it was just that he had heard of it. When he heard this news, he only praised the kind hearts of his beloved in his heart.

However, just now, when he saw the master of Shangqing and Ju Ying return with his arms and claiming that he was childhood sweetheart, he felt as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle. However, Bai Shijun was not as good as an ordinary person after all. Seeing the two girls who came with Ju Ying and Xingyan, he whispered like close sisters. Bai Shijun's expression was no different on his face, and he just raised his glass and smiled at Xingyan:

"Brother Xingyan, I only realized today that I, Bai Shijun, are quite capable of knowing people."

"oh?"

Xingyan knew what Bai Shijun meant when he heard this, but he still asked interestingly. Bai Shijun continued:

"Actually, I saw you not like an ordinary person before; I just saw you with great spells again, and I am indeed a young hero in the world!"

Hearing his praise like this, he woke up and said no. When he was humble, Bai Shijun said seriously:

"You don't have to be too humble. Say something unreasonable. In today's world, if I, Bai Shijun, is the first young man to succeed, then you, Lord Zhang, should be the second one!"

He heard his words exaggeratedly, and his face was not as polite as a polite manner. Xingyan was a little surprised. Just as he was about to ask, Bai Shijun said with some emotion:

"Xingyan, you are really lucky. Do you know that the current emperor promoted you to be a Zhongsan doctor, one is indeed the wise and wise of the emperor, and the other is,"

Speaking of this, Bai Shijun paused for a moment, so there were two people on his right head, and immediately listened to the following text nervously. Bai Shijun said slowly:

"Second, Xingyan, you are promoted by a dispersed official and you have received the advice of Princess Qingcheng!"

"Uh? Really?!"

When Xingyan heard this, he was very excited and even his voice trembled.

“That’s natural.”

After receiving the affirmative reply, after a while of excitement, Xingyan suddenly hesitated:

"Marquis Baijun, why does that princess speak for me? It is important to know that I am just an ordinary citizen in the forest."

"this……"

Bai Shijun said half of the story again this time; after a moment of pause, he suddenly looked at the girl who seemed to be concentrating on joking with the little sisters, and said with a smile:

"In fact, this matter is all based on Juying's power."

"ah?"

"I see!"

Just when Ju Ying was very nervous when she heard this, she saw her hall master turn her face, look suddenly enlightened, thanking her sincerely for her lack of trouble, and saying that she admired this feeling very much, but in fact she didn't have to do this.

Seeing Xingyan's actions, Ju Ying was at a loss, and then he asked himself with a curious look:

"Ju Ying, are you really the maid next to Princess Qingcheng?"

“…”

It turned out that when Xingyan heard Bai Shijun's words, the mystery that had been in his heart for a long time seemed to be solved in an instant. According to his imagination, the female companions around Princess Qingcheng should naturally be the children of a noble family; Ju Ying was with the noble princess, so she could naturally say something good for him.

Looking at the boy who thought he had found a correct answer, Ju Ying didn't know how to answer for a moment; she lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and pursed her lips and smiled:

"Xingyan, I will talk to Qiong Xuyi first and stay for a few days before telling you."

After saying that, he turned around and whispered to Xiao Qiong.

Not to mention the answers between the leaders and the others, let’s talk about the Qingyun Taoist. At this moment, the doubts and fear in Qingyun Taoist’s heart became stronger and stronger:

"This boy is indeed not like a person."

It turned out that when others were just looking at the face of the noble girl, Qingyundao looked at the boy in secret. Perhaps it had just applied Taihua Taoist power, but now the ghost king ring between Xingyan's finger was pulled by the flowing Taihua Qi, revealing a trace of ghost energy. Although this strange aura was weak, Qingyun could clearly sense it. Under the lingering of this evil aura, the boy who was already full of energy showed a strange spirit at this time.

Somehow, this Taoist Qingyun, who had an unknown origin, was in a dilemma at this moment when he saw the situation in front of him.

Perhaps, many major events in the world can happen in the end, just because of a small opportunity. Just when Qingyundao was in a dilemma, he saw that Minglongke's little girl. Seeing that Sister Ju Ying combed her hair with her hands, she was so happy that she smiled like a flower and said happily:

"Sister Juying, thank you! - I'm late today! Someone used water to turn wine here before, and the master of the hall master made the lotus blossom, which was all very fun!"

This sentence, when it comes to the ears of those who are interested, seems to be an introduction; the Taoist Qingyun who has been hesitating, immediately gritted his teeth and made up his mind after hearing this.

So, the guests who were drinking and chatting during the meal saw the Taoist who had been rushing to make wine in the meal stand up again, bow and volunteer, and said loudly:

"WuShuang Manor, friends, since you have never seen a magic trick from the new celestial master in the seat, then I might as well perform another ugly trick and perform a trick of "Bamboo chopsticks turning into dragons" to make you smile."

After hearing what he said, everyone was encouraged by the guests. After Bai Shijun nodded and agreed, everyone looked forward to his demonstration.

So Qingyundao took out a black bamboo chopstick from his arms and threw it into the air. This time, he never recited any spells again. The black bamboo chopstick had no wings and flew around the pillow flowing platform. Then, Qingyundao shouted loudly:

"The divine wood has a spirit, manifesting itself in the shape of a dragon!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a "screaming" sound of wind. The slender black bamboo chopsticks in the sky turned into a growing black dragon! After the black dragon transformed into a shape, it soared into the sky, lingering and dancing in the full moonlight, with its black beard spreading and its scales flying, which was no different from the dragon shape depicted in the portraits of the past!

Seeing that the bamboo chopsticks turned into dragons, the guests looked up and admired them endlessly. At this moment, when the black giant dragon flew to the night sky, the Qingyundao standing on the ground was full of sleeves, like the wind storm; on that ordinary and despicable face, the hair and beard were now all open, as if they had changed their own people, and were extremely solemn.

Noting his appearance, Xingyan felt something was wrong in his heart. Taoist Qingyun's solemn expression seemed to be facing a great enemy.

He was a little suspicious in his heart, but he saw Qingyundao with a solemn expression. He suddenly stretched out his arms and fingers and shouted:

"disease!"

The Sihai Lord, who was staring at him, saw clearly that Qingyun Dao pointed the direction, and seemed to be coming to him!

...

“Huh?”

To the surprise of Taoist Qingyun, after doing the trick, his magic weapon was still circling in the air, as if he was afraid of something, but he refused to come down. At this time, many people at the table showed doubt. Seeing this, Taoist Qingyun did not dare to hesitate anymore, and stretched his heart, cut his fingers out, and then with luck, he saw a blood arrow shot straight into the sky, turning into a blood mist to cover the dragon's body.

"not good!"

Seeing his actions, even though most of the people in the class were not sorcerers, he could see that his behavior was not good intentions. Before they could react, the black dragon flying high in the sky suddenly swelled up after touching blood, and his huge eyes were as red as blood. He rushed towards the young men and women in the head!

This changed so quickly that almost no one in the Zhengliu Pavilion had time to run away. Only then did they remember to escape, but they found that the black dragon covering the sky and the moon was spitting out a choking smell and had already pounced on the front of the Zhengliu Platform.

"Bang!"
To be continued...
