Legend of Qingling Dance

Chapter 9
Mr. Tongli was leaning on the precious Yuexi Qinglang cork couch in Wutong Residence, sulking.

There were two little maids at the head of the bed rubbing his shoulders attentively, and four little maids at the end of the bed were hard at work helping him beat his legs and feet.

There is also a beautiful little maid leaning against the bed, with slender bare hands, feeding the fruit wine brewed from Guming flowers to Mr. Tongli's mouth cup by cup.

The warm scent of flowers and wine could not soothe the pain in Tong Li's heart, what's more, the newly composed piece played by the little maid Er Ya was so hoarse and unpleasant.

He grabbed the jug and wine glass and poured himself a drink. After a long time, he called Xiangyu over and asked sullenly, "How many died?"

Xiangyu sighed, and replied: "One Obsidian Warrior, three Hongye Warriors, and one magician. As soon as the young master left, the guardian of the sorceress' yard was taken over by others. The manpower here was transferred to the vicinity of Jiucheng Street. , it’s too late to help.”

Young Master Tongli patted the bed, and said bitterly: "Careless! Careless. I didn't expect King Hui to strike so ruthlessly. This Liang Zi took over, this time I must not let him off lightly!"

Xiangyu glanced at him secretly: "What about Miss Liang?"

Mr. Tongli shook his head again and again, with an even more worried expression: "Let's not talk about it. King Hui sent people to ambush in the yard of the Liang family. Mysteries are everywhere in the little hen's house. My son almost couldn't come back. King Hui is so scheming, If one trick fails, he backhandedly gave the Reed Flower Hen a favor, and this time, my son is completely at a disadvantage."

While the two were talking, the little maid outside the door reported that someone wanted to see her.

Xiangyu went out after hearing the sound, and after a while hurriedly brought a letter over: "My lord, the urgent mail from Beijiang is sent by Feihong Liuguang."

Feihong Liuguang is a large-scale spiritual power transmission array used to transmit long-distance messages. Because it takes dozens of top-quality spirit stones to transmit a message, which is expensive, it is rarely used except for the most important news.

The spiritual power transmission array originated thousands of years ago.

At that time, the famous Baili Family of Formation Masters discovered that spiritual power was everywhere between heaven and earth.Not only can warriors, magicians, and wizards use different mental methods to introduce spiritual power into the body and accumulate it, but formations can also be used.Similarly, just as warriors, magicians, and wizards can release spiritual power when using martial arts, divine arts, and witchcraft, so can formations.

The Baili family also discovered that different martial arts, divine arts, and witchcraft all have unique spiritual power diagram sequences, and similarly, formations also have formation diagram sequences.The Baili family tried repeatedly, and finally succeeded in engraving the order of the formation diagram on the Lingli Yuanjing, so it soared into the sky, and several genius formation masters were born in a row for several years.During those decades, they built many spiritual circles of different sizes and functions, which spread all over the country, and their reputation resounded throughout the Eternal Continent.

Unfortunately, suddenly overnight, the entire Baili family disappeared completely.No one knew where they went, and the art of formation was lost.However, the formations they built survived, and they only needed to be replenished in time when the spirit stones were used up, and the decayed parts could be replaced before they could be used normally.

The famous Anguohu Imperial Array located in the imperial city of the Western Zhou Dynasty was built by the Baili family thousands of years ago. 200 years ago, the Nanyue saint-level masters intended to assassinate Emperor Dedi of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Anguohu Imperial Array was successfully activated once.

"Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Who is this talkative?"

Mr. Tongli took the letter angrily, opened it, and saw that there were flamboyant writing on it: "Bastard! I drink wind every day in northern Xinjiang, and you ruined most of the money I earned. I told you earlier, far away Just stare at it, and meddle in anything. There may be changes in the Western Zhou Dynasty in recent years, so don't wander around if you have nothing to do. Your old lady misses you so much, and she cries at my old lady's place every day. Find someone else to take over your affairs, get out."

Young Master Tongli was furious: "Bring a pen!"

He immediately laid out the paper, and angrily wrote a few large characters on the paper: "I won't get lost, come if you want."

That night, Qingning didn't sleep well.

From the age of 16, she started to have a bad habit.

Every night, she has the same dream.

The situation in the dream has been exactly the same for the past two years, repeated over and over again, never having any new ideas.

At the beginning of the dream, it was always white mist.Afterwards, there is a boundless endless ring of water beyond the limits of the human eye.The turquoise water meets the sky, and the water surface is as smooth as iron, like a flat piece of boundless blue silk, without a single wave, not even a ripple can be seen.

When Qing Ning had this dream for the first time, she was extremely shocked, and felt vaguely familiar.When I woke up, I didn't know where it was anyway.But in the dream, she knew without a teacher, that this piece of water is called the Shiyuan Ganges, and it has been a dangerous and forbidden place that no one has set foot in since ancient times.After searching through the classics, there are indeed vague and sporadic records about the Ganges River in the first Yuan Dynasty, but I still can't remember where I saw it before.

After a while, dusk fell, and the whole river was shrouded in a strange red moonlight.Yes, that is indeed the red moonlight.

The moon's shadow moved lightly. When the moon hung in the center of the sky and appeared in line with the moon's shadow in the water, a white circular altar slowly rose from the river in the middle of the intersection of the sky and the water. The huge and magnificent figure was reflected in the silence. On the water, motionless.

A ray of moonlight shot straight in from the round hole in the center of the altar, and after a loud bang, the silent altar suddenly burst into light.Dozens of white goose eggs are scattered and lined up.Some exuded a faint halo, and they were placed in a huge formation drawn with crimson flame patterns.

In the dream, Qingning knew without a teacher that these goose eggs are called soul beads.However, if there is any slight movement of these soul beads, they will be tightly imprisoned by the huge thorns protruding from the formation.

Most of these soul beads have been completely silent, and the white body of the beads has lost any brilliance.

In the dream, I passed the eye where each soul orb was located, and there was a name engraved in the ancient Ganges language.Qing Ning did not understand the ancient Ganges language, but could hear a deep voice slowly reciting them.One, one, and another.

Halo Qingning, who has a goose egg, feels very kind, and wants to stroke it every time.

And every time at this time, the red moon has moved westward.With a slight crisp sound, dozens of soul orbs darkened suddenly, and the huge altar sank slowly, and it was submerged in a moment.

Come on, it's too late, it's too late.

Too late, too late!
At that time, a woman's hurried voice repeated.

Too late, too late again.

Alas, it's too late.Why is it too late?Qing Ning shook his head.

The spring is just right, and she is still young, so everything should be in time.

As expected, King Hui was straightforward and neat.That afternoon Lin Hongbi came over and brought a letter of acceptance. He agreed that the monthly salary at the beginning would be 20 taels, and after three months it would be 30 taels. After that, he would be promoted every year according to the practice of Tai Hospital.He also took Qing Ning to Tianlan Clothing Store under the name of Xijing Sima Trading Company to measure the size and order the four seasons female official costumes of Tai Hospital.The two of them were waiting for the clerk of Tianlan Tailor Shop to deliver the materials to check the quality, while Lin Hongbi was chatting with the shopkeeper, when two women walked in.

The woman walking in front was only about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing light yellow spring clothes, luxurious clothes, oval face, full head and crescent eyebrows, and extremely beautiful appearance.It's just that there is always a lingering gloomy air between his eyebrows, and he looks very pitiful.Behind her was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with a round face and round eyes, and she was full of air between glances.

The oval-faced girl walked straight to the shopkeeper and said softly: "Uncle Li, you are here to make it easier for me to find you."

The shopkeeper seemed taken aback, and then put on a smiling face: "It's the girl, you are here. But come to see some new materials?"

The girl with the oval face shook her head: "I'm looking for you. Can you show me the account book for half a year?"

Uncle Li said in embarrassment: "This... the young master is not here, the old slave can't be the master."

The oval-faced girl frowned slightly, as if a little sullen: "I only look at one person, not others."

Uncle Li said with a sad face: "Miss, you know that Sima Trading Company has strict rules. Only the young master can read the accounting books of Tianzizi."

The oval-faced girl pouted, "Where did Sima Lei go?"

Uncle Li shook his head and said, "This old slave doesn't know."

The duck-faced girl asked again: "Then when will he come back?"

Uncle Li continued to shake his head: "The old slave doesn't know either."

The round-faced girl couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately came up to fight against the injustice: "I don't know this, I don't know that, you obviously don't take our girl seriously. You Sima Trading Company is just a merchant, and you dare to bully our girl!"

Uncle Li was sweating and kept wiping his head: "Don't dare, don't dare, the old slave really doesn't know what the girl asked. Thinking about it, the girl, the old slave is the shopkeeper of a branch store, how can he have the right to ask the young master's whereabouts? I hope the girl will understand."

After listening to Uncle Li's words, the oval-faced girl thought there was some truth in it, but she couldn't refute it, she was stunned for a while, and then shed two lines of tears: "Oh, I don't know... I have traveled to many places in the past six months, and I have searched for him but can't find him. The weather is getting warmer, and I don’t know if he has changed into spring clothes. I remember that he loves the cotton cloth of Songyang the most... He will definitely not come to the hairpin banquet this spring."

The round-faced girl hurriedly said: "There is one more person, Miss, you forgot? Second Young Master Yue!"

When the oval-faced girl heard this, she burst into laughter immediately, her extremely beautiful face instantly bloomed like a spring flower, her indescribable radiance made people forget their minds when they saw it, even Qing Ning was stunned.

"Yes, yes, I forgot, let's go find him."

The round-faced girl took the oval-faced girl's arm, and the two went out happily.The round-faced girl said Xu Xu: "I heard that the second son of Yue is famous in Xijing now. He also has a nickname, what is his name... what is his name... yes, Mr. Paulownia..."

As the two talked, their voices gradually faded away.

"Just kidding, kidding. It's hard to be a businessman." Uncle Li smiled wryly at Lin Hongbi.

Lin Hongbi asked in surprise, "This girl is..."

Uncle Li sighed: "unrequited love. It's because of a friend of the young master's family. I come to Xijing every year, at least seven or eight times."

This girl is so beautiful and so infatuated, Qing Ning thought to herself.

After such a busy schedule, it was getting late.Lin Hongbi sent Qingning back to Jiucheng Street.After being busy for a long time, Qingning didn't have dinner, so Qing Ning politely asked Lin Hongbi to stay for dinner before leaving.Lin Hongbi declined politely.Ten days after the two made an agreement, that is, the first day of March, Qing Ning took the paperwork to the Tai Hospital to take office.
