Chapter 252 One Hundred: Five-Colored Deer

The copper bells in Yulin pass through the fallen leaves with the wind, and are buried in the sound of gongs and drums.In Guangzhaifang, Yujing City, dozens of miles away, Eryasha was gnawing watermelon to get rid of autumn dryness, Xu Da and Ya Qiantui were quarreling for a while, lying down and taking a nap under the window in boredom.There was no wind in the garden, and there were occasional crickets in the flower garden. Suddenly, the copper bell under the window rang.

Xu Da opened his eyes suddenly, and Qing Yasha put aside the watermelon rind and went to the bell, wiped his mouth and said, "A Lang sent a message."

Chi Yasha said: "Mr. Snow Lion, what does the bell ring three times?"

Xu Da said: "The Goddess has gone to visit, how do we know? Military advisor! Military advisor?"

From the book on the window sill came the voice of Pulse Wang: "One ring is late, two rings are late, three rings are summons, and four rings are for avoidance. If the situation is urgent, the ringing will continue."

Xu Da said: "Oops, Ah Lang has a call, maybe there is trouble?"

Mai Wang said: "Today Alang went to the field of Mingduquan to hunt with the king. If there is any trouble, it is also the trouble of hunting." He paused and called: "Mr.

The crow landed on the window and tilted its head.

Mai Wang said: "Just go over and have a look."

……

The crow flies away from Guangzhaifang and skims across the sky, while the white cat gallops on the roof, jumping from time to time by the window sill and the wine flag.

Two shadows, one black and one white, quickly passed through the squares of Yujing, and finally left the Chunming Gate in the east of the city.

At the foot of Hunan Mountain, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and tigers roared in the forest, shaking dead leaves to rustle.

The horse was galloping at full speed, the young Zhonglang set his bow and set an arrow, and the black tassels on his pocket fluttered with the wind, his body heaved and fell, and the arrow was locked on the tiger in the forest.The tiger was forced under the tree by several knights, so it had no choice but to fight back. When it jumped into the air, it shot through the forest with an arrow, and went straight through its mouth.The tiger suffered pain, rolled on the ground, let out a hoarse growl, and became more ferocious. The knights who surrounded it avoided their sharp edge, and waited until the tiger was exhausted and exhausted, they surrounded it again.

When Wang Dingfang got off his horse, the tiger's viscera were broken, and it was still alive. Its golden tiger eyes were fixed on the approaching young general Zhonglang.Wang Dingfang had been besieging the tiger for half an hour, and finally found a good opportunity to shoot an arrow into its mouth, so as not to damage the fur. He looked at the tiger and praised: "What a tiger! Even if it is dying, it has such power. I'll give you a treat..." Before he could finish speaking, the tiger pounced with all its strength.Wang Dingfang didn't dodge or dodge, he slapped the tiger's ear with his palm.With a bang, the giant beast weighing more than [-] kilograms flew out sideways and rolled three times on the ground, lifeless.

"General Wang, you are so brave!"

The trilogy shouted, and Wang Dingfang smiled slightly. At this moment, the thunderous sound of horseshoes came from the west.Among the woods, there was a vaguely colorful figure leaping up the treetops. The strange beast had a huge body, but the slender branches were only slightly bent, and not even a single leaf fell.In a blink of an eye, the strange beast jumped onto the rock again with its strength, and its posture was graceful. Only then could it be seen clearly that there were a pair of extremely forked horns growing on its head.

"Five-Colored Deer!"

The trilogy exclaimed in unison, and Wang Dingfang also took a sharp breath.

According to legend in Yujing City, a woodcutter once witnessed a pair of five-color deer in Hunan Mountain several times.This legend was not confirmed until last year when Guo Wanjun, the left general of the Jinwu Guard, hunted a male five-colored deer on the day of autumn hunting last year.Now the male deer is kept in the palace, but unfortunately there is no female deer.Hearing that the stag was unhappy and had been on a hunger strike for a long time, the sage couldn't bear to see the auspicious beast starve to death, and wanted to release it to the forest several times.But now, if the female deer can be caught, the male and female will form a pair, which is a rare auspicious omen in a hundred years.

"go!"

Wang Dingfang yelled, and even ignored the fierce tiger he had just hunted, he rode his horse and chased after the five-colored deer.However, the five-colored deer walked on the ground like walking on the ground in the forest. Even though Wang Dingfang's mount was a thousand-mile horse, it was quickly pulled away.It's just that today's Hunan Mountain has fallen into a tight siege, no matter how sensitive and amazing the five-color deer is, they can't escape anywhere.Seeing the five-colored deer enter the forest again, Wang Dingfang raised his arm, and the gray falcon honked loudly and flew high.

At this moment, another galloping horse came from the east. Wang Dingfang saw that it was Li Xueshi whom he had seen not long ago.Li Xueshi was riding a horse, still alone, but there was a white shadow on the horse's head.Wang Dingfang took a closer look, and saw that it was a white cat squatting on the horse's head, its hair fluttering in the wind, like a lion cub, it looked a little proud.

"Li Xueshi!" Wang Dingfang laughed dumbly, and said loudly, "Why did you bring a cat here!" The voice went away with the wind.

Seeing Wang Dingfang, Li Chan said loudly: "According to General Wang's words, I found two helpers!"

Wang Dingfang couldn't help laughing, "Is there another helper?" After saying that, Li Chan smiled and looked up.

Wang Dingfang followed Li Chan's gaze and looked up. Under the blue sky, the gray falcon spread its wings and glided, and a pitch-black crow flew by.

The gray falcon croaked loudly, circled around and turned around to catch the crow, but the crow glanced at it.Seeing the lifeless crow's eyes, the gray falcon stiffened immediately, and fell with its neck straight, falling dozens of feet, fluttering its wings until it was close to the ground, and finally stabilized its body again, gliding for a while, and landed on Wang Dingfang's shoulder.

Wang Dingfang was very anxious, without the gray falcon to guide the way, the five-colored deer would really fall into the hands of others.He shouted "Go" and raised his arms to send it off, but Grey Falcon shrank his head.He anxiously tried a few more times, and even shook his hand vigorously, but the gray falcon still tightly grasped his arm and refused to let go.

Wang Dingfang's horse slowed down and was soon overtaken by Li Chan.

He also heard Li Xueshi drop a sentence: "General Wang's falcon is indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately he is a little timid." The laughter quickly disappeared with the galloping horse.

Wang Dingfang cursed secretly, and saw the crow flapped its wings and landed on Li Chan's shoulder, he couldn't help being stunned.He didn't react until the crow flew up again, whipped the horse's buttocks, and followed behind Li Chan.The galloping horse kicked up the dead leaves, and Wang Dingfang's mount was obviously more handsome than Li Chan's rented horse, and it only took a moment to close the distance.Li Chan looked back and said with a smile, "What are you doing with me, General Wang?"

Wang Dingfang said: "Ashamed, ashamed! My family is not up to date, so I can only borrow the wind from Xueshi Li!"

Li Chan chuckled, "Okay! Then don't lose it!" Her legs pinched the horse's belly.

Wang Dingfang raised his whip vigorously, and quickly followed. In front of him, the five-colored deer disappeared, but he didn't know where he saw the chasing soldiers, and turned back to the east.The two chased endlessly, and the trees in front of them were thinner, revealing a waterfall.Amid the sound of rushing water, Li Chan suddenly tightened the reins.The neighing of the horse made Wang Dingfang startled, and he also hurriedly reined in the horse. The "Treading Swallow" under his crotch passed through the woods, his hooves were raised high, and the turf debris wrapped in rocks fell into the deep mountain stream in front of him.

Wang Dingfang exclaimed that it was very risky, and he was still undecided, so he heard Li Xueshi shout: "Xu Da!" He jumped into the air before flying on horseback.

The white cat on the horse's head also jumped out in response to the sound, and when it was in the air, its figure was good at facing the wind. In a short time, it turned into a strange beast, which happened to be carried by Xueshi Li.In a blink of an eye, one person and one beast jumped over the mountain stream and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the misty water mist caused by the waterfall.

"Fu Ba!"

Wang Dingfang let out a low cry, and looked across the mountain stream. During today's autumn hunting, although the generals of the guards also have magical mounts, they can be called divine beasts. Only the saint sits on the yellow horse.This Li Xueshi did not know where to find a head to ward off evil spirits.Good guy, here comes another mythical beast.

The horse under the seat stamped its hooves uneasily and let out a low whine.Wang Dingfang came back to his senses, lowered his head and stroked Ta Yan's mane, which he had always been proud of, and comforted him sourly: "Good horse, good horse, don't be afraid, we are not too bad, not too bad ..."

……

On Yandang Ridge, a red deer was brought by him on horseback. Li Peijie wiped off the sweat from his forehead, held his bow, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

Wang Xiaogong rode over from the side, "Your Highness is good at archery, Wang is really convinced."

Li Peijie shook his head and said deliberately: "Xueshi Wang made an appointment with me, but he was so modest, but he didn't take His Highness seriously."

Wang Xiaogong said: "Where is your highness, if I want to beat your highness, I'm afraid I have to use my supernatural powers."

Although Li Peijie knew that the other party had made concessions, he was still very happy, and said with a smile, "I think it's because Xueshi Wang doesn't like these wild animals."

"Look, Your Highness!" The attendant suddenly exclaimed loudly.

The five-colored deer flashed across the mountain stream outside, like a rainbow shadow that flashed in the pan.

"Five-Colored Deer!" Li Peijie was shocked and said, "This is that female deer? Xueshi Wang..." He turned his head to look, but Wang Xiaogong was nowhere to be seen.

……

In the depths of Hunan Mountain, there are overgrown flowers and trees, and the strange rocks are jagged. It seems that you can't ride a horse. The five-colored deer sometimes jumps up the treetops, and sometimes turns over the cliffs, like walking on flat ground.While running, it looked up at the crow in the sky sensitively from time to time, and then looked back at the man and beast that were chasing after it. There was sadness in its alert eyes, knowing that although it escaped for a while, it would not escape today.

It leaped on the cliff and flew across the clear stream ahead.

In the trickling stream, a piece of water under the body of the five-color deer is suddenly still, and the waves are as flat as a mirror, reflecting its colorful reflection, which is not visible at all.Even with its jumping body, it was fixed in mid-air and could not move.

Wang Xiaogong came out from behind the ginkgo tree by the stream, looked at Li Dan on the other side riding a talisman to the stream, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li, Mr. Wang is not talented, so he got it first!"

Li Chan looked at the five-colored deer and looked at the reflection in the water, "I have heard for a long time that Jiangning Wang's "Nine Essentials of Yu Shu" is unpredictable, and seeing it today really deserves its reputation. However, I have been chasing it for so long. kind."

Wang Xiaogong smiled and said: "Brother Li, where did you start with this? The five-colored deer is not considered prey for Brother Li before it enters the knuckle." Saying this, he walked towards the stream.

Li Chan smiled and said: "Well said, but Brother Wang is not considered successful at this time!" As he said, he waved his sleeves, the sword was like a flying star, but it was not aimed at Wang Xiaogong, nor at the five-colored deer, but pierced into the reflection under the water .

When the Xuanxin sword entered the water, it shattered the reflection, and it still didn't stop, it rolled up like a swimming dragon, stirring up a large cloud of water mist.

The mist enveloped the bank of the stream, Wang Xiaogong frowned, thinking something was wrong, in this way, not only the deer disappeared, even Li Dan also disappeared.He waved his sleeves to create a gust of wind, and when the mist dissipated, he saw the escaped five-colored deer fleeing downstream again. He quickly used his supernatural powers and pointed at the surface of the water, trying to freeze the five-colored deer's shadow again.Unexpectedly, the water was empty and there was no shadow!

Only the remaining mist disperses with the wind!
Tap!Upstream, the five-colored deer landed on the rocks, leaped again, and sank into the forest.A man and a beast followed closely behind.

Wang Xiaogong came to his senses, stepped on and ran, and when he reached the rock, Li Chan was nowhere to be seen.

……

"Ah Lang has great supernatural powers and good skills!" Xu Da jumped in the forest, praising him, "In the past, Alang used to paint on paper, but he can also paint in the fog. One day, it will not be difficult to turn a rainbow with a brush, it will not be difficult! "

Li Chan said: "Just now I also used some methods to control the mirage, not all of them were painted."

"It turned out to be the method of the Goddess!" Xu Da exclaimed, and turned his head to look again.

Li Chan laughed and said: "Wang Xiaogong is probably not good at riding on stilts, so he probably won't catch up." As he spoke, looking forward, the five-color deer was obviously panicked after being frightened just now.

After chasing for a while, Ya Qiantui swooped down from mid-air, grabbed the five-color deer's horns, and the five-color deer shook its head vigorously. Although it got rid of Ya Qiantui, a sword light flashed.

In front of the five-colored deer, the thick ancient pine that was hugged by several people collapsed suddenly, and it jumped over quickly, and the sword light came oncoming again.In a panic, it stomped its four hooves, and it turned around in mid-air like a breeze.But at this distance, the five-color deer is faster than the Xuanxin sword.

The five-color deer dodged again and again, getting slower and slower.

Li Chan in the distance said loudly: "Lu'er! If you run again, I'm afraid you will get some sword wounds!"

The five-color deer was stunned, and was forced to stop. His body trembled, and he turned around and stared blankly at the approaching man and beast. His eyes were begging, and he knelt down on all fours.

Li Chan was stunned, patted Xu Da on the head, turned over and got off the ground, and saw the radiant spirituality of the five-color deer with his red eyes, "I am Li Dan from Qianyuan Academy, you don't have to be afraid. Today is the day of Renhuang's field hunting, you If such a spiritual creature is caught, it will not be sacrificed, but will only be kept in the palace, although it will lose its freedom, it will not be in danger of life."

The five-colored deer bowed its head and mournfully said: "I also know what Xueshi Li said. I live here, and I can't escape this day after all."

Li Chan looked at the five-color deer pitifully, and asked, "If that's the case, why do you want to live by the emperor's palace?"

The five-color deer whispered: "I originally lived in Lingnan, but I was worried day and night that I would fall into the mouth of other monsters. After thinking about it, because of my beautiful fur, I was regarded as auspicious by the human race, so I came to Yujing with my husband. Originally, I thought that if we were not caught, we wouldn’t have to worry about other monsters hurting our lives. But last winter, my concubine’s husband was caught and taken to the palace.” As he spoke, the round teardrops rustled fall.

Li Chan sighed and shook her head: "Every gain is bound to be a loss. When you came to Yujing City, you also thought that this day would come. Why should you be so sad?"

The five-colored deer was still crying, "What Li Xueshi said is that I know this truth, but I have a child. Even if my husband and I are confined in the palace, we have no complaints. I have pity on my child who is only two months old. , but I have never tasted the taste of freedom. I only ask Li Xueshi to let me go today, and next autumn, when the child grows up, I am willing to be dedicated to the palace by Li Xueshi, and I will never break my promise!"

Crow Chitose curiously pecked at the teardrops of the five-color deer.

Xu Da shouted: "You deer are so ignorant. There is no Li Xueshi today, but there are also Wang Xueshi, Bai Xueshi, Red Orange, Yellow, Green and Green! Hunan Mountain has been surrounded. Thanks to our family, Alang, who found you first, you will be safe and sound." Injury, if someone else came, I would not be so lucky! Even your little deer doll will probably not escape the snare today!"

The Five-Colored Deer felt sad when he heard the words, Yoyo cried even more fiercely.

Li Chan glared at Xu Da, thought for a moment, and said to Wu Selu: "I can't let you go, but if you want, I can take your child out."

The Five-Colored Deer was stunned, with surprise in his eyes, then shook his head, looked at Xu Da, choked up, and said, "Since Xueshi Li is raising this evil spirit, and is willing to listen to his concubine, he is not a person who sticks to worldly prejudices." Well, if my child can go with Li Xueshi, I will naturally ask for it. However, this field of Mingdu Spring is originally the hunting ground of the Emperor, even if Li Xueshi comes from Qianyuan Academy, I am afraid that he will not be able to take my child away privately. "

Li Chan said: "You don't have to worry about it, where is that little deer hiding now?"
