When Gong Mengbi opened the door of the Golden Dragon Palace, he saw Xiagu and Hanzhang "mingling together."
Xiagu was embarrassed and took action, but she was not Hanzhang's opponent. The Yunxia air that flew out from her sleeve was caught by Hanzhang and rolled into a ball. The two of them were wrestling with this horse, looking at Hanzhang's face. , quite relaxed.
The surrounding female attendants all hid far away, and did not dare to step forward to break up the fight, let alone step forward to help.
Only a few flowerpots were smashed and two jade trees were pushed over, but the Golden Dragon Palace was not affected.
Seeing Gong Mengbi push the door open and the Golden Dragon King standing behind him, Xia Gu immediately let go of her hand and let Cai Lian quickly wrap around Chao Hanzhang. She hid her hands behind her back, kicked her toes, and said, "Father."
As soon as Xiagu let go, the straightened Cai Lian curled up and bounced towards Hanzhang. Hanzhang caught it easily, held it in his palm, and turned into a Xia ball, which was filled with colorful lights and had quite a lot of ornamental value.
The Golden Dragon King shook his head and said, "Aunt Xia, why are you fighting with uncle again?"
Xiagu pursed her lips, looked at Hanzhang, and said nothing.
Hanzhang glanced at her and said with a smile: "There was no fight, just fun."
The Golden Dragon King reached out and tapped Xiagu's forehead, saying: "You... when can you tell me to worry less?"
Aunt Xia hugged his arm with a shy face and said with a smile: "Mother has already held a banquet in the palace, let's go quickly."
Since we are all our own people, it is a family dinner. Precisely because it was a family dinner, all the good things were brought out.
The Dragon Girl of Dongting said: "Come and drink a cup of ointment wine. It is said that the ointment is born and the earth comes out of the sweet spring. It needs to be the harmony between heaven and earth, the festival comes, and the rain at the right time is brewed by nature. Only then can we get this wine. My father is the best I miss this thing so much, but it’s a pity that only a small amount of wine can be brewed every year, so it can’t be drunk casually.”
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, and when the ointment entered their stomachs, it was like spring pouring from the sky, spring breeze turning into rain, silently creating creation, harmonizing yin and yang, causing the magic power all over the body to harmonize on its own, and giving birth to various spiritual ideas.
Gong Mengbi was surprised. This was the first time he drank such a fine wine since Guanghan Feixian Wine. Compared with it, Gaolu Wine was an immortal product.
After eating a meal, Hanzhang's body was filled with inspiration and his nose was shining, as if he could spit out sparks at any time.
Aunt Xia, who was the least virtuous, was already drunk, not from the dew wine, but from the inspiration at the family banquet.
On the contrary, Gong Mengbi, like the Golden Dragon King and the Dongting Dragon Girl, seemed to have the ability to continue fighting at the wine table.
The Dongting Dragon Girl smiled and said, "I didn't prepare enough food, so I couldn't make you happy."
Gong Mengbi felt ashamed and said, "Little fox has no sense, but he is being presumptuous."
Dongting Dragon Girl looked at Gong Mengbi with an expression of disapproval and said, "You're out of touch if you say that."
The Golden Dragon King also smiled kindly and said: "You are half of my uncle's disciples and one of my own. I was just an ordinary person back then, and my wife was also in jail. Thanks to my uncle's righteousness, we are what we are today."
Gong Mengbi waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this is self-effacing. Who can travel thousands of miles in a mortal body, just for the sake of faith? When the Dragon King mentioned you, he praised you a lot, calling you a dragon and a phoenix among people, rare in the world. A good man."
One sentence made the Golden Dragon King sigh with emotion and his face glowed brightly. He said quickly: "Uncle, you have praised me so much. Come, have another drink."
After drinking another glass of Gaolu wine, I couldn't eat anything.
The Dongting Dragon Girl withdrew the banquet and returned to the boudoir with her daughter in her arms, leaving the Golden Dragon King and Han Zhang alone to talk.
The Golden Dragon King looked at his drunken brother-in-law and said, "Hanzhang, tomorrow you can take the Dragon Refining Box and my seal with you and go to Taihu Lake with Mingfu."
Hanzhang was agitated, and his drunkenness subsided. He looked at the Golden Dragon King, a little horrified, and said, "What did the Taihu Water God do? He actually wanted to use the Dragon Refining Box?"
King Jinlong said: "The water god of Taihu Lake is stupid and immoral. He cannot follow the mind of heaven and bring peace to the people. Instead, he colludes with demons and demons, betrays the water veins, and kills the gods and all living beings. Without treatment, it will not be able to show the way of heaven."
Hanzhang looked at Gong Mengbi, whose expression was cold and hard, somewhat similar to that of the Golden Dragon King.
"But the Dragon Refining Box?" Hanzhang shuddered and asked, "Is the punishment too severe?"
The Golden Dragon King said: "It would be best if you don't use the Dragon Refining Box. If it doesn't work, you will bring it upon yourself."
He looked at Gong Mengbi and said, "Mingfu is the leader of this trip, so you can't make any arbitrary decisions."
Hanzhang looked at Gong Mengbi with wide eyes, and a strange feeling of being severely betrayed came over him.
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Senior Brother Hanzhang, please take care of me."
The fox's eyes narrowed into a thin line when he smiled, like a hook that could fish out people's souls, but no matter what, he looked hateful at this moment.
"You fox!" Hanzhang sprayed fire from his nose, feeling quite annoyed.
No matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do. After a day's rest, Hanzhang could only accept the Golden Dragon King's order, take over the Golden Dragon King's divine seal, and get the Dragon Refining Box.
This stone box is mottled and ancient, with stains of blood that cannot be washed away, and is entangled with disturbing resentment and evil spirits.
Gong Mengbi recognized this thing. He mentioned it in the Bead Refining Method. The Dragon Refining Box is an artifact for secretly refining dragon souls. Like the Dragon Slicing Platform, it is a forbidden weapon for dragons. Dragons in the world are all Conquered by it.
Opening the treasure box, no matter how powerful the dragon is, it can't escape the treasure box's capture. In the end, it will only be turned into a pool of blood. The dragon's soul will be imprisoned in the treasure box forever, which is comparable to Fengdu's execution.
The meaning of King Jinlong is very obvious. He ordered Hanzhang to give an edict to the Taihu Water God. If he hears it, everything will be easy to say. If he refuses to listen, then he will die.
Hanzhang held the treasure box, pressed it under the divine seal, and put it away carefully.
Even being close to this treasure box would make him feel uncomfortable. The dragon souls in this box were all bloody lessons.
Gong Mengbi got his wish, and he and Han Zhang said goodbye to the Golden Dragon King and went to Taihu Lake together.
After leaving the Yangtze River Dragon Palace, Hanzhang looked at Gong Mengbi with resentment and said, "Junior Brother Mingfu, you have made me suffer."
Gong Mengbi quickly waved his hand and said, "Senior brother, this is an important task. If it is done well, it will be a great achievement."
Hanzhang approached him, raised his fist and said, "Tell me honestly, what is going on?"
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "Don't say it."
Hanzhang frowned and said, "Now I want to go on adventures with you, but you won't tell me the truth?"
Gong Mengbi pressed down his fist and said: "This trip is of great importance. Senior brother only needs to obey my orders. If you know too much, you will be in danger."
Hanzhang's fist was pressed down by him, but his brows were raised. He was the descendant of Qiantang Lord. He was not an ordinary person. He had never experienced it personally and had heard of many similar things.
With his wisdom, he could already guess some clues after thinking about it.
"Mingfu, where did you get into such a big trouble?"
There was worry in his eyes, not for himself, but for Gong Mengbi, and said: "You are only a fourth-level Taoist. If you are involved in such a dangerous situation, you must be careful and protect yourself."
Gong Mengbi also responded seriously: "I am more afraid of death than anyone else, and I will not put myself in a situation where I will die."
Hanzhang was upset and unhappy, but Gong Mengbi refused to say anything and couldn't say anything. Even if he asked him, he couldn't help him. He could only exhale and said: "If you want me to take action, just force it. Even if it's my ability. You are humble, at worst I will go to the Minjiang River, Oujiang River, Funiu Mountain, and Hanyang Mountain to ask a few brothers to take action, and I will definitely not let anything happen to you."
Gong Mengbi was moved, but suddenly laughed and said: "Why do we need a few senior brothers to take action? It's not as dangerous as you think. Otherwise, how can the Golden Dragon King rest assured that I will take you out?"
Hanzhang was reluctantly appeased and reiterated: "Don't be afraid to trouble them."
He glanced left and right and whispered: "My father's temper is like this, so it's not surprising for us children to do something out of the ordinary."
Gong Mengbi shushed him and silenced him, "How dare you say such nonsense."
Hanzhang said: "There's no one else around, I just want you to understand that guarding one's shortcomings is a bad habit in my family."
Gong Mengbi asked: "Why is there no one else here?"
Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became serious. He looked around and suddenly focused on a cloud floating in the sky.
He took a deep breath and shouted: "Aunt Xia, why don't you come down here!"
This loud shout was the dragon's roar, which shook hundreds of miles and stirred up the clouds.
The clouds were motionless, as if no one was ever hidden. But it was precisely because of his unshakability that Hanzhang was sure that it was Xiagu who had transformed him.
He flew away in the air, and within a moment, he got into the clouds, and soon he grabbed Xiagu's ear and flew down.
He grabbed Xiagu's ear, stretched out her hand and patted Hanzhang's arm, saying: "Let go! Let go quickly!"
Hanzhang let go of his hand and pushed her in front of him, and asked: "If you don't stay in the Dragon Palace, why are you following us secretly?"
Aunt Xia frowned and said, "Who is following you? I was just gathering Yunxia's energy to practice. It was obviously you who suddenly rushed over and caught me."
Hanzhang's head started to hurt and he said, "Go back quickly. We have business to do, not just for fun."
Xiagu raised her chin and said, "I also have business to do. If I don't care about you, don't care about me either."
Hanzhang was silent for a moment and said: "Mingfu, please wait for a moment, I will take her back to the Dragon Palace."
Before he could finish his words, Xiagu already felt that something was not good, so she took the first step to turn into a ray of light and rise into the sky, and ran away first.
Hanzhang took a step slower, transformed into the true form of the red dragon and chased after him fiercely.
The strong wind caused waves on the water. Gong Mengbi looked at the two uncles and nephews and shook his head slightly.
Hanzhang flew fast, but Xiagu flew even faster. The clouds changed, and in an instant they turned into endless phantoms, completely blending into the sky.
Gong Mengbi watched for a while and knew that Hanzhang couldn't catch her.
Although Xiagu was a low-ranking Taoist, the clouds and clothes she wore were all rare treasures. She could hide herself, turn into a rainbow and fly away, disappearing from Hanzhang's eyes in an instant.
Even if Gong Mengbi chases her in person, he may not be able to catch her.
No wonder this little dragon girl dares to run around. With her treasure, she is really fearless.
