Chapter 122: Beixinqiao

The night breeze passed through the forest, and his face was cold. He woke up and realized how adventurous it was to ask the woman about the Black Dragon earlier. At this moment, the voice of Xuanyuan broke through the angry voice from the side of Qiulin. The supper that should belong to Chen Changsheng was secretly eaten by Tang 36. He smiled and shook his head, no longer thinking about those problems, and went to the National College of Education.
The ice word that the woman left on the stone table is the only clue that Chen Changsheng found the black dragon. This seems to be a test too-the black dragon is a black dragon, and it is related to ice and snow.
The problem is that ice is a very common thing. Especially in the late autumn and winter season, the major river channels in Kyoto lean against the stone wall, and occasionally you can see glaciers. In the northern part, I am afraid that there are already large blocks of ice on the river. Even in the summer season, those princes The noble house is also equipped with an ice cellar, which contains many ice cubes.
For practitioners who take the cold road, ice is something that can be seen everywhere. Just prepare a water basin and put your hand in it. After a while, there will be a full basin of ice. There are special formations to keep making ice for the Pope and senior priests to enjoy.
Chen Changsheng found some problems because ice is so common in Kyoto...
When he was in Xining Town, he often went to the mountain stream with his brother to pick up ice cubes in late winter. When he came to Kyoto, he had less chance of contacting ice. Now I think of it, the most impressive one is the intimate contact with ice. When shopping with Luoluo out of the National College of Education, the two bought popsicles.
He remembers very clearly that it was mid-summer, when the streets were full of tourists, whether it was a young lady or a shopman, almost everyone held a popsicle in his hand, and other things recorded in Xining Town or Daozang In the summer of the city, they are rarely seen.
Whether it is a practitioner or a formation, you can easily make ice cubes, but it is absolutely impossible to turn ice cubes into such a cheap thing. Even if all practitioners lower their status and all formations are fully activated, it is impossible to provide So many people in Kyoto need it all summer.
He walked out of the National College of Education and came to the grocery store near the well of Baihua Lane. He asked where their popsicles came from in the summer. Then, following this clue, he always found a dessert shop in Xinchaofang. , And then found an ice cellar closely managed by the court.
According to his survey, in the summer, all the ice cubes in the dessert shops in Kyoto were bought from this ice cellar.
This ice cellar is located in the Hutong of Xishi. The gate of the courtyard looks very small. It can be seen that the ice cellar underground in the courtyard can store so much ice.
Chen Changsheng let Tang 36 go around and found that there was no hidden method in this ice cellar in Xishi Hutong. At the same time, he went around and asked to confirm that this ice cellar is indeed a natural cold cellar, which is said to pass through the underground of Kyoto. An underground cold vein, so we can provide ice cubes continuously.
Trying to get Tang 36 back to the National College of Education, Chen Changsheng found a simple food shop in the Hutong of Xishi City, sat down, took a pen and started to do serious drawing calculations.
He certainly does not believe in the so-called underground cold veins. According to the knowledge in Shui Jing and the relevant regulations of the imperial court, as well as the general orientation of the ice cellar discovered by Tang Thirty-six, he spent half an hour to roughly calculate where the bottom of the ice cellar is and whether there is an underground river there. , And the most critical... where is the source of chills.
Walking out of the Xishi Hutong, he walked forward according to the lines on the paper.
Not knowing how long it passed, he found that the noise around him disappeared and looked up in amazement, only to see a tall city wall appear in front of his eyes, but he came to the palace!
Sure enough, he reached the palace.
Looking at the faint cornices in the palace wall, distinguishing those buildings, and referring to the position of the National College of Education, he probably found the location of Weiyang Palace, and then closed his eyes. He started walking in his mind, like the night of the vines feast, went to the waste garden, entered the cold lake, started running, running all the way, and finally pushed open the door.
He opened his eyes, turned to the road on the left, and walked on the ground with golden leaves to reach his destination.
The golden autumn in front of Miyagi, like the vines in the palace, is a famous scenic spot in Kyoto. It is now the best and last time to observe the scenery. Although the weather is a bit cold, there are still many tourists.
He carefully avoided a small child with mud in his hands, and politely asked an old man to go first, bypassed a few trees, and came to a well.
He knew that this place was called Beixinqiao, but it was the first time he knew there was a well.
He leaned over and looked into the well, and found that it was not bottomed out, but there was no trace of tide. It should be an abandoned well.
He looked up at the sky in autumn and looked at the people who were not far away. His emotions were very shocking and complicated.
That black dragon, was actually kept underground? The entrance is actually in broad daylight?
...
...
Beixinqiao is not a bridge, but a place name.
Why is there clearly no bridge here, but it is called Beixin Bridge?
Regarding this matter, Kyoto has a very famous legend.
According to legend, many years ago, the joint forces of the Terran and the Demon Race and the Demon Race fought in the Central Plains. A powerful dragon took advantage of the fire and came to Kyoto to make chaos, killing souls, killing innocents, and no one can control it. At that time, no one thought that Wang Zhice sneaked back to Kyoto from the front line and led the gods who stayed in Kyoto to jointly defeat this evil dragon.
The evil dragon is also a dragon family, but it is the most advanced deity in the world. It is very difficult to kill completely. It is said that the blood of the dragon king is flowing on this dragon. Even legendary characters like Wang Zhicai are worried about killing this. The dragon will anger the long-deserved dragon clan, and worry that the dragon will desperately bring too much disaster to Kyoto before he dies, so he decided to leave the other party a living path-Wang Zhicai asked the dragon to accept human captivity. , Thinking of atonement, and then promised that the evil dragon would build a new bridge on the ground where it was imprisoned, and release it as soon as the bridge became old or flooded by Luoshui.
The long life of the dragon family is unimaginable. The evil dragon thought that a new bridge would become old, at most a few decades or more than a hundred years. And with its knowledge and natural ability of the Kyoto water system, it is quite certain that Luoshui every In 60 years, there was a big tide, coupled with serious injuries at that time, already on the verge of death, so I agreed to this condition.
The evil dragon surrendered, and the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty set a very strong prohibition outside the palace, imprisoning it underground, but... didn't build a bridge on the ground at all.
Luoshui passed around the imperial city and did not flow through it at all. The so-called bridge was nothing but a fake bridge.
Wang Zhice also did one thing. He directly changed the place name here to Beixinqiao.
This bridge will never be flooded by Luoshui.
This bridge is always new.
The evil dragon will never come out again.
...
...
Chen Changsheng sat under the tree, his eyes falling on the scroll, but he couldn't see it at all.
After the tree, a father is telling this legend to his children.
The father praised Wang Shenxian's perfect strategy, and the children clapped their palms happily. A child asked, so to speak, that evil dragon is now under the ground at our feet? The rest of the children listened to this and were a little scared. The adults laughed and said that the story is the story, is it still true?
Chen Changsheng also heard this legend, but never thought that the legend might be true.
He looked at the abandoned well not far away, his emotions getting more and more complicated.
Anyone who has heard the legend of Beixinqiao will hate the tyranny of the evil dragon and praise the wisdom of the king's policy, but he feels that the evil dragon is very pitiful.
Of course, since the legend may be true, that dragon or really killed a lot of innocent people would be designed by Wang Zhicai. He knew that he had this kind of emotion, and his position was a little unstable, but he had seen it after all. The tragic shape of the dragon, especially when looking at the beautiful autumn landscape on the ground, thinking about the cold stone caves under the ground, it is inevitable that there is some sympathy.
During the daytime, there are still many people in Beixinqiao. There is a forbidden army patrol under the palace wall in the distance, and the palace wall is empty. Every once in a while, there is a fly down, and occasionally you can see the fire in the distance. Xue Xingchuan should be 'S mount is Huo Yunlin, he knows that there is no way to go down to the ground now, he must wait for a while.
He bowed his head and continued reading.
The fallen leaves left the branch and fell on his shoulder, Huang Cancan seemed like a golden leaf.
I don't know how long it has passed, the sounds around me fade away, the twilight fades, and the night falls. He looks up and confirms that no one is paying attention to this side, and walks to the abandoned well.
He knew that there could be no hesitation, otherwise it would certainly attract the attention of some people.
So he walked straight down, and the golden leaves fell and then fell, falling to the edge of the waste wellhead.
...
...
Abandoned wells have no bottom at all, and naturally there is no silt, as if going straight into the void. There is no light here, only darkness, Chen Changsheng descends faster and faster in the dark void. When he jumped into the well, he held his head in his hands, and the skeletal bone that he and his brother had boiled with medicinal soup sticks since his childhood ensured that the previous collision with the well wall did not cause him any harm.
After coming to the darkness through the bottom of the well, the wind roared and wiped his face. He didn't worry that he would be killed directly, because he knew that the black dragon must have sensed his arrival. And I don’t know why. The closer to the black dragon, the closer he felt to the emotion of the night of the vine feast, and he was no longer afraid of many things, even death.
His people were still in the air, and they heard the long, long breath, and then heard the slight interruption of the breath.
Two faint fires appeared in the darkness, and that was its eyes.
The black dragon woke up.
A dense air cushion that looks like a real thing appears under Chen Changsheng, helping him to easily fall to the ground.
A huge figure like a mountain moved slowly in front of him in horror. The air in the huge underground space squeezed and made an unpleasant tear.
An unimaginable chill suddenly enveloped his body, and countless frost appeared on his eyelashes, which might fall at any time.
"It's me." He took out the Pearl of Night and illuminated his face.
As he took out the night pearl, the thousands of night pearls in the dark bottom space dome lit up at the same time.
The black dragon appeared again in front of his eyes. The dragon was undulating like a mountain, with no end in sight. The dragon head was like a palace, and the dragon scale was like a mirror. There was frost hidden in it, covered with dust, and the endless vicissitudes, gently floating The moving dragon beard is like real, frozen lightning.
This was the second time Chen Changsheng saw the true face of the Black Dragon, and he was still shocked. It took a long time to wake up.
He collected the night pearl and saluted the black dragon, thinking about the age of the black dragon, and naturally performed the gift of juniors, saying: "Uncle Dragon, I come to see you here."
Seeing that Chen Changsheng really came, the fire burning in the eyes of the Black Dragon was continually jumping, as if dancing, and he was particularly pleased. After listening to this title, the two groups of fire suddenly froze and turned into ice and snow.
That terrifying Longwei appeared again in the underground space.
Chen Changsheng was very uncomfortable. He quickly raised his right hand and said, "I know!"
Long Wei reduced slightly, and the Black Dragon looked at him indifferently, waiting for him to see him again.
Chen Changsheng wanted to understand that it must be that the word uncle seemed too common, and according to the life of the dragon, even if the black dragon was imprisoned for hundreds of years, it might still be a teenager, at most a young man, and it was like Like the women in Xining, they don’t like being called aunts, they just like being called sister-in-law...
He paid a respectful visit to the Black Dragon and said intimately, "Brother Long, I haven't seen you for a long time."
With a snapping noise, the black dragon released a terrifying dragon power, and Chen Changsheng fell directly to the ground, splashing countless ice debris.
The black dragon flew slowly over him, and the dragon beard fluttered in the air, as if the tentacles protruded from the abyss. Obviously, he was out of anger.
Chen Changsheng lay on the ground, raised his right hand hard, and said, "Senior, senior, don't be angry!"
...
...
The title of senior is not necessarily completely appropriate, but Heilong reluctantly accepted it. When Chen Changsheng was sitting in the residual snow on the ground, thinking of the previous scene, Yu palpitation was difficult to disappear, thinking if he would blurt out the word at that time, Will it be instantly blown away by the terrifying dragon's breath into ice dust?
According to the promise that night, Chen Changsheng came to Heilong to speak with him, but at this time, one person and one dragon sat speechless, the atmosphere in the field was a little depressed, a little embarrassed, Heilong could understand human language, Chen Changsheng will There are some pronunciations of Longyu, but they don’t speak Longyu.
Suddenly, Chen Changsheng remembered that he had jumped into the abandoned well of Beixinqiao before, and pointed to the little black spot that was visible in the dome, and asked, "Is this always the case? Someone must have fallen to the bottom of the well for so many years, and those people died. ? Or are you saved? If you were saved, where did those people go?"
This is indeed the issue he is most concerned about, although after hearing the legend, he has some sympathy for this black dragon, and he is very grateful that the other party let him leave alive last time, but if... those who fell into the underground space, finally All became its food, and he certainly could not continue to sit in front of it.
He was not afraid of being eaten by this black dragon, but he could not accept a dialogue with a cannibal black dragon.

(Should it be May? In Beijing, I was sitting in the car with a friend named Lu Wen. He asked about the new book Zetian Ji. I said that I had thought about it completely.
