lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Fengzi Monogatari!

Returning to Hangzhou City, Quan Ying has a lot of emotion. She has lived here for a long time. Compared with Shenglong Mountain and Bailu Cave, Hangzhou can undoubtedly give her the feeling of hometown. But when she stayed here to recover from illness, she was full of unwillingness and helplessness, always thinking about the future sickness. Healing, how to do a big cause, how to let the dragon clan name the world, revive the glory of the past, so during that time, I never enjoyed the peaceful beauty of life, and only wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Now strolling through the streets of the city again, watching the pedestrians on both sides fluttering with big sleeves, holding the oil paper umbrellas of local specialties; traditional houses with black tiles and white walls, shops with colorful flags; walking on the street The voices heard were the shouting and noise of the gambling hall and the song building, and the residual water flow from the rain; especially the embers and red glow of the setting sun, reflecting the verdant weeping poplar planted by the street, and the swaying of the willows. Elegance, dissolved in the breeze with the breath of rain, makes the long-lost person feel more energetic.

"Oh, it feels good, it’s very comfortable to be blown by such wind!"

Lancelow, who has revisited the old place, seems to be in good spirits. Compared with Reins’ millennium architecture, Hangzhou’s literary style has a more natural flavor, especially the elegance of the green willow trees planted along the long street, which made Lancelot a great appreciation.

"Outside the mountain outside the Qingshan Tower, when will the West Lake singing and dancing be off... This is a prosperous city that has been operated for a thousand years. It is rich in culture and beautiful scenery. No wonder you will like it. Fortunately, you didn't say anything. If you want to knock down here or something, that would be a shame."

Quan Ying and Lancelot walked side by side, standing in the crowd is already conspicuous, but when Quan Ying left the airship, she did not deliberately dress up and hide her face, her charming fairy posture was like a star falling into the commons. The dust caused waves of exclamation among the people around, from unable to help but watching, to being stupid as if being electrocuted, and being knocked down by people next to him, causing a small commotion after another.

"Who is that beauty?"

"A person who looks like a flower is really beautiful. Why haven't you seen it before?"

"Look at that slender waist and beautiful face, she is such an unparalleled beauty... No, it seems to have seen her before. I have an impression of the round curve of that ass, but that face... …"

Similar whispers continued to flow into Quan Ying’s ears. She smiled slightly, but pulled the arm holding Lancelow tighter, leaning against his majestic body, envious of the one next to her. All idlers.

It is absolutely impossible to change the appearance of the past and present. But here before, Quan Ying’s face and attitude were always polite and almost indifferent. Despite the smile on her face, everyone felt the deliberately separated gap, and her pale snow face, The occasional sound of a light cough made people only admire its beauty from a distance, but it was difficult to get close.

Guanghan Fengzi can overwhelm the city, and poor Bingqiong in twenty spring.

Bingling Qionghua and the cold moon in the sky, these are people’s impressions of her before, but now Quan Ying has changed. The pace of walking side by side with Lancelow makes her look confident; between her lips The blooming smile of joy, although it seems to be a little disrespectful, but it makes people feel sweet and amiable, and can even feel the heartfelt happiness from the heart.

This is the change that made the local folks dare not confess, and could not believe that this was the glamorous beauty who had been missing for a few years. Seeing their doubts, Quan Ying naturally understood the reason. She was delighted in her heart, but she smiled and said nothing, hoping to enjoy the happiness of walking hand in hand for another moment.

However, in the gossip of onlookers on both sides, some words that shouldn't have appeared.

"This beautiful girl is really heartwarming, so beautiful..."

Before Quan Ying could react, her whole body was driven by Lancelow, and she turned away like a violent wind, followed by a crash. When she recovered, she was taken to the wall by Lancelow. , And one of his arms was stretched out, smashing most of the wall, and on the ground was a man with foaming mouth, his eyes rolled white, he was already scared by the threat of Lancelow’s blow to the wall. gosh.

With a heavy blow, like thunder, people nearby fled in a hurry. Quan Ying looked at the person who had fainted on the ground and smiled bitterly to herself, but found that Lancelow's movements were stiff, as if something was wrong. Looking along the direction of his sight, he saw that half of the dirt wall was blasted away, and the other end was still intact, with some portraits pasted, which seemed to be a red wall specially posted with bounty notices.

Some of the bounty announcements posted on the red wall seem to be new, but some seem to have turned yellow. They are obviously old criminals that have not been taken. The bulletin Lancelow's gaze was aimed at was an old half-broken bulletin. The text seemed illegible, but the felon in the picture looked like a big fluffy bear no matter how you looked at it. .

(Ah! This one is...)

People who saw this arrest document probably didn't feel much at all, but Quan Ying still remembered this image still fresh. That was the arrest document drawn by the local official when Lancelow and Xiaocao rioted in Hangzhou. Obviously they were misled in the drawing, so this messy image was drawn, but the real body of the robber in the painting is Lan. Slow.

"Well, I have an impression of this picture..."

Lancelow said vaguely, and suddenly his body was shaken, his face turned very ugly as he leaned on the wall with one hand.

"What, what's wrong?"

"My head is beginning to hurt, ah...it hurts...it seems like something is going to happen..."

"Head, headache?"

Quan Ying was taken aback. Hua Bianque’s warning flashed in her mind. This is not a problem that can be dealt with indifferently. If Lancelow’s old disease recurs, he faints again, and it will be a few faint Months, I'm afraid Reins was killed when he woke up.

There must be a reason for the incident. If the cause of the headache is the arrest portrait, then the most urgent task is to draw his attention away...

"Ah, my stomach hurts!"

With a cry of pain, Quan Ying squatted down, holding her abdomen with her right hand, looking very painful. This reaction of course frightened Lancelot, he quickly dropped his attention on the arrest document and turned his attention to his wife beside him.

"My, my stomach hurts terribly... I don't know what's wrong?"

Quan Ying frowned, using her internal force to push out the cold sweat on her forehead, but her heart was up and down, praying that her husband would not find her disguise.

"Okay, how come my stomach hurts suddenly?"

"I...I don't know. It may be because of the cold, or...ah, or because my stomach is too hungry. Didn't you say that I am going to eat? Hurry up, I'm so hungry. I can’t stand it anymore. If I drag it on, I can eat two elephants in one bite."

"Can you transform into a big snake? How else can you eat an elephant in one bite? Also, why do you feel so hungry that your stomach hurts suddenly?"

"Just leave it alone, let's go eat!"

In order to fear the recurrence of Lancelow's old illness, Quan Ying had to desperately take her husband away from here, but the intensity of Lancelow's reaction was even more unexpected. Hearing that his wife was unwell, his expression was as nervous as he was about to charge. Lightning shot and hugged Quan Ying. Amid Quan Ying's exclamation, Fei Ye left the scene.

The two walked in a hurry, and after their backs completely disappeared, some passers-by who had been hiding nearby came out again and talked a lot, but this time they discussed something, but another shocking thing.

"Hey, did you hear that? Just now the big beauty said that she can swallow two elephants in one bite!"

"Okay, so terrible..."

"Sure enough, it is a beauty fairy. This is definitely not our previous sick beauty lady."

"Swallow the elephant in one bite, she doesn't know what monster it is..."

"Reporter, newspaper official, this must be reported soon!"

Just when Quan Ying was in complete condition, some terrifying and disturbing rumors began to spread quickly in Hangzhou.

※※※

On the side of the West Lake, in addition to the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains, there are also many wine shops and restaurants around the lake, so that guests can enjoy the beautiful scenery while cooking tea and wine. One of the newly opened food shops, "The Romance of Sichuan", sells special ethnic cuisine in a free city, with dazzling red flags hanging at the door, which is the most eye-catching among a row of food shops; The owner’s pride, but today something unforgettable happened to them all.

At that time, it was the peak hours of business, when the customers were the most, because the cold wind in December was quite freezing, and at the request of the guests, the door was closed long ago, and the bead curtains were put down in several windows, and the shopkeeper cooked The wine shoppers, who knew that there was a sudden loud noise, two heavy wooden doors crashed and a huge hole was broken by a big foot, and then they fell down.

"Doctor! Doctor! Bring the dishes!"

"...This, the hero, you have found the wrong place. This is a restaurant, not a medical center!"

"Oh, I made a mistake, then change... the chef! The chef! There is an emergency! My wife is very hungry. You don’t bring your specialty food within a quarter of an hour and make her hungry, I Just ransack your shop! Set fire to your counter! Even the kitchen will not let it go!"

A very vicious and reckless man with a knife at his waist and a beautiful beauty like a fairy in his arms. He looked like he was being held hostage, just by looking at the soft and lovely face. It does give people a heart of rescue, but when the beast-like stubborn man turned out to be robbed for her, everyone dispelled the idea of ​​pitying and cherishing jade.

After more than a year of sublimation of the emperor’s life, Lancelow’s common crime call is also full of extraordinary domineering, especially the energetic roar, which resounds like a thunderbolt in nine days, which is daunting. All the customers in the store hid under the table and trembled. The shopkeeper even ran up to the pair of mandarin duck thieves and kowtowed.

"Oh! Uncle Thief, please spare the villain's shop!"

The situation was very tense for a while. Lancelow looked at the shopkeeper who was kneeling and begging for mercy, wondering if he had said the wrong ordering words, and wondering why he hadn't even drawn his sword to stand up this time. Why did the meat ticket give in so much? Fast.

"Um... the people in this place are so kind... Then I will take this city by the way..."

"Stop it!"

The one who hurriedly stopped Lancelot was Chuan Ying who was struggling to flush with her face. Even if he is the leader of a country, he still does not change the occupational disease of robbers. This may be regarded as hegemony... At least Izumi Sakura explained her husband's behavior in this way, not to mention that the reason for his panic was for himself. Of course, the standard must be lenient Minute.

Quan Ying took out gold coins from her arms and told the owner that her husband had a brain disease, so he asked him not to take it seriously, and at the same time paid for the meal for the customers in the store. Sven's polite attitude and generous shot resolved the commotion. The owner arranged a window for their husband and wife, and the two of them formally ordered food.

"Hey! Madam! Don't just tell people that your husband's brain is sick!"

Ordered two pasta-based dishes, Lancelow frowned at his beautiful wife, venting his sullenness; Quan Ying naturally smiled and said that she would not contradict him on this issue, but just help him down. After taking a cup of tea, he took out the fragrant wood comb from his arms and helped him to comb his stray hair, full of tenderness in his heart.

The employees of the entire store were eager to send the two plague gods away soon. The food was delivered quickly, but Quan Ying's attention crossed the table and looked at the window next to her.

(Really...How can I recognize it now...I am ashamed...)

Quan Ying has lived in Hangzhou for many years and is familiar with the street scenes here. However, the bustling city has always changed rapidly and has not returned for a few years. Not only the shops and restaurants, but also the place where she lived. The former residences were all demolished, and I didn’t find it when I passed by just now. I only now recognize the piles of ruins and ruins.

(It's a pity that things are neither human nor human. There are many memories of me and you.)

Quan Ying thought this way, and Mingyan glanced at the man next to her softly, but Lancelot didn't realize it. She just anxiously wanted the "hungry" wife to taste the hot noodles she had just delivered.

"Quickly eat, aren't you very hungry? Don't look at the two small bowls of noodles. This is a famous dish in Siam City. When I was in Siam City...Hey, where are you looking?"

Lancelow tilted his head along Quan Ying's gaze and looked at the dilapidated small building. With a simple glance, there was a strong reaction.

"The...there is..."

The significant memories of Quan Ying also have the same meaning to Lancelot. His pupils were wide open, his brain blood flowed back, and he was about to cry out for a headache. Quan Ying had to respond urgently, immediately. Point your hand to the right.

"Look, my second brother is here! He is wearing a nice coat!"

"What? The iron-faced ladyboy is so arrogant in a floral coat! Where is it?"

As soon as he heard the name of the old enemy, Lancelot looked nervous, looked to the right with cross-brows, and hurriedly to leave Quan Ying, quickly poured two small bowls of hot noodles on the table, and ate them all in one bite. After drinking a cup of hot tea, when Lancelow turned his head back in confusion, the dishes on the table were clean, leaving no traces.

"Ah! Those two bowls of noodles..."

"I'm very hungry, so I just ate it in one bite. Let's get out of here. I always feel that the wind here is so big that I will have a headache after sitting for a long time..."

"It's not a problem to leave, but...you can actually take a bite...well, don't you feel your stomach?"

It’s not just Lancelot, all the customers in the whole store looked at this big beauty with surprised eyes, because the special spicy dish "Puliki Nuluan" from Siam City is this one. The restaurant guarantees absolutely authentic signature dishes, known as the "three bowls but not the post". This fairy beauty swallows two bowls in one go. The face does not change the color, and the spiciness is good. It is really better than the bearded man. The guests of the shops all stood up and applauded.

"Wow, wow, wow~~"

"Wow~~"

The howl mixed in with the applause was not particularly harsh, because as soon as it was uttered, it turned into a raging blue flame, which hit the ceiling and burned a **** hole. The fascinating beauty concealed her face and walked out, followed by the savage and stubborn villain.

Suddenly, the boss who was busy selling the food in the store, ignoring the burning ceiling, hurried to explain the product's strengths to everyone.

"Although Priki Nuluan is spicy, not everyone can spit flames. The last record holder is the current record set by His Majesty the King Reins in Siam City. So after that, there was a rumor that eating this dish and breathing fire is the proof of the king!"

This statement was heard before by everyone, but it was a bit different this time. The fierce and reckless man who had already rushed out suddenly appeared in front of the shop owner with a tower-like male fitness body. The action was extremely fast, he put a gold coin in the boss's hand as a tip, and seemed to say thank you very touched, and then disappeared again.

Getting a heavy tip inexplicably, the shop owner is stunned by himself. On the other side, there is a tumult. A pair of uniformed officers with swords enters the door and asks repeatedly when they come in.

"Good people don't move! We are here to catch thieves...No, we are here to catch fairies!"

"Goblin? What kind of goblin? There are no monsters in our shop!"

"Nonsense, someone saw her coming here. It is said that she is a very charming female devil who can swallow two in one bite..."

"Oh! There is something, she is such a beautiful beauty. I can't think of it as a fairy. She swallowed two things in our store in one bite. She didn't change her face. It's a great skill!"

"What?"

Hearing the shop owner’s gesticulating explanation, the officials looked at each other, and finally turned their heads to make a final confirmation.

"Boss, do you sell elephants in your shop? In Hangzhou, they are conservation creatures!"

"Huh? What elephant?"

※※※

Enduring the extreme spicy taste in her mouth, Quan Ying ran wildly, trying to escape the most crowded place first, so as not to be embarrassed and too ugly.

I started running lightly all the way and quickly traversed the crowds and streets. I only heard Lancelow chasing behind him. The two couples ran and chased them at high speeds, and in a blink of an eye they ran around the lake and got on the famous seat. The broken bridge.

"Don't run so fast. I brought water for you. If you can't eat it, don't be aggressive. You don't have an ethereal body. What if you burn your throat?"

Above the broken bridge, Lancelow handed the tea in her hand to Quan Ying, still laughing in her mouth.

"Unexpectedly, the dragon body holy armor is actually guarding against the outside but not the inside. Next time you want to break the dragon body holy armor, you don't need to punch a few punches, just grab a few peppers and stuff your mouth."

"...I am ashamed to say that the last time you punched me in the stomach, my whole body seemed to be scattered. If you hit me again, I will die and disappear from your eyes. You don’t have to be tortured like that every time."

Quan Ying said coldly with some annoyance, Lancelow was ashamed of being mentioned the old thing again, and quickly apologized to his wife in a low voice, trying to make her happy.

It is already December. Although there is not a lot of residual snow accumulated on the bridge and the famous broken bridge is beautiful, there was a light snow a few days ago. At this moment, the bridge is still covered with a thin layer of snow. Looking around, The surface of the lake was clear and waveless, and it was as calm as a crystal clear mirror. The West Lake would freeze in winter, but the maintenance staff sprinkled coarse salt into the lake, so although the lake is cold, it has not frozen for a long time.

Quan Ying has been familiar with and used to seeing this scene in the past, but her mood is different at the moment, which seems to add a bit of novelty, but thinking of the embarrassed appearance just now, she just feels like sighing.

"By the way, there is one thing that I never tell you... Recently I often have a dream, and the location is this place..."

Lancelow smiled, showing a very tender and shy expression, as if sinking into some kind of memory.

"In my dream, there is a very beautiful woman. I can't always see her look, but it must be in this place. I looked at her beautiful figure from a distance and vowed in my heart that one day in the future, I You must get ahead and become a man worthy of her... Oh, I had this kind of dream somehow, would you think I am funny?"

Lancelow finished speaking and looked sideways at Quan Ying. He, who has always been clumsy at expressing emotions, may be like a lover himself.

But it turned out to be in the opposite direction. Quan Ying widened her beautiful eyes and looked at her husband in horror. The cautious and fearful appearance made people think of a nervous cat.

"Are you...are you okay?"

"What's the matter with me? My head is so strong, even in the ice and snow, I am still a macho."

"Are you... your head hurting?"

"Ah! I almost forgot, because of what you said, it seems that it really hurts... Well, my head hurts!"

When Lancelow said that she had a headache again, Quan Ying showed a "sure enough" expression, and quickly took Lancelow's hand, saying that she had a piece of silk that was blown away by the wind just now, and asked him to help pick it up. Back.

"No problem, where is it? Huh? It was blown into the lake? What is the wind so strong? Huh? I want to pick it up? No mistake? This weather, here?"

"You said you have a strong head! Your beautiful and obedient wife, it is rare to ask your husband for one thing, would you not refuse to agree?"

If you don’t agree, you will not be at peace tonight. I feel like Lancelow who has been caught in a trap. My mind is getting more and more confused, but I know that I have no choice. I jump from the bridge, like A giant shark breaking into the sea leaped into the icy water of West Lake.

While seeing him disappear to the surface of the water, Quan Ying sighed in relief while standing on the bridge.

"It's terrible to have headaches all day long...Let you soak in the cold water, sober sober, and see if you still have headaches..."

It’s better to go ashore and go back to the airship directly after being soaked in the water. This will save you a lot of trouble and also save yourself from worrying about being in Hangzhou. I have been afraid that he will have a headache and become unconscious, like a frightened bird. .

But ah...

"What a stupid man... If we don't come back in this situation, then it will be fine. I... I don't know how many times I have looked forward to this day..."

In my dreams, I don’t know how many times this happened. I went back to Hangzhou with Lancelow, walked hand in hand on a familiar street, and pointed the scenery. It was... a very warm scene.

I don't think that the dream scene really has a chance to come true, but it ends up in such an embarrassing scene. It is really sad to think of it.

"Maybe it's God's punishment. A woman like me doesn't deserve to have such happiness..."

Standing on the red bricks of the broken bridge, Quan Ying looked at the clear water lake, adding a layer of loneliness to her beautiful face. In fact, I was so nervous just now. In addition to Hua Bianque's warning, there is another fear. Perhaps this fear is the real reason for being so anxious.

Among all the memories that occurred in Hangzhou, there are sweet memories, but there are also deep-seated pains, especially the scene where I personally severely injured Lancelot, which is often a nightmare to end my dreams. Thinking that Lancelow could remember all the things he had in Hangzhou, I had both joy and expectation, but the fear was also like a cold claw gripping his heart, making myself breathless.

It’s this worry that caused me to hear Lancelow’s headaches several times, as if to remember something, I interrupted his thoughts ambivalently, for fear that the forgotten hatred would be remembered again, destroying the present The little and peaceful.

So clumsy, so ridiculous... When did I become such an awkward, stupid woman?

Immersed in the sentimental atmosphere, Quanying lost her soul for a while and sighed faintly. When she came back to her senses, she wondered why her husband hadn't swam up for so long, and she suddenly felt an abnormal situation around her.

"You...you..."

I don’t know when, the desolate broken bridge was actually crowded with people. Seeing that the dress was dressed, there were officials and ordinary people in it, all of them looked frightened and cautious, and approached cautiously. , Seeing that I regained consciousness, there was a commotion over there.

"The demon girl is awake! Everyone be careful."

"No, there are so many people here, there is no need to be afraid, let's go together!"

"Catch the witch who swallows an elephant!"

Looking around, it's really angry. Quan Ying is half good and half funny. After a few years of leaving Hangzhou, why has it become such a "simple folk style"? A little thing can cause such a commotion?

"Oh...that's how it is, it's no wonder he has been in the water and dare not come up...it is really embarrassing!"

Quan Ying’s lips burst into a smile, and she doesn’t say much anymore. She glances from left to right, and then from right to left. People who are in contact with her eyes are all revealing. With a fascinated look, she sat on the bridge lightly, waved to the crowd, and leaned back. She saw water splashing under the bridge, and she had disappeared in the lake.

The commotion that took place in Hangzhou ended in this way. Although someone was chasing the water to search, the man and woman were long gone. The searchers naturally found nothing, and in the end they only became the topic of people after dinner.

However, the two protagonists who caused the commotion did not leave the city. After Quan Ying fell into the water, she was hugged by a sturdy arm, and the two snorkeled in the water together, leaving the troubled place.

Quan Sakura’s water quality is only average, far less than Lancelow’s secret exercises, so everything is led by her husband. When she leaves the shore, the sky is already dark, and the near and far scenes are not very clear, Lancelow Holding Quan Ying's hand, she walked silently, as if she had passed through several alleys, and finally stopped in a courtyard.

"Where is this...?"

Quan Ying took a few breaths, raised her head while she was evaporating from her luck, but she was taken aback by the scene in front of her, and she stayed on the spot.

This is just a small temple that has been abandoned at the moment. Looking at this uninhabited and dilapidated scene, it may have been a long time since no one was interested. However, Quan Ying couldn't forget the scene that she had seen here.

The seven sycamore trees in the yard, the dense branches and leaves were once strung together to form a huge dark green curtain; nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine grass lanterns were arranged in a pair of monkeys to cross their necks and sleep. The pattern is hung on the tree and vine net.

The moonlight that night was bleak and lonely. For now, through the branches and leaves, the grass lantern picture is plated with a silvery white luster, coupled with the twinkling starlight behind it, and what it presents is to live with the world and resonate with the universe. The magnificent scenery, in an instant, seems as if the Milky Way is running endlessly.

The picture in the memory vaguely overlaps with the scene in front of her eyes. The soul turmoil that has been there once turned into a warm current and sent into Quan Ying’s heart, making her eye sockets warm and moist, but when she concentrated again, the grass The phantom of the lamp was sent back to the past, and there was only a broken temple in front of him, and a helpless self, who had to remember the past that had long been forgotten by everyone, meaningless and lonely as perishable...
