People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 148 It is not easy to hide rain and snow in sleeves; Xiangzi rides a crane to Chang'an!
Speaking of Yueyang, it is much louder now than in the past.

If you ask about the root cause, it is because there is a Yellow Crane Tower in the city named Cao Beinan.

This Yellow Crane Tower is not that Yellow Crane Tower.

The Yellow Crane Tower in Yueyang City was the original Xin's Restaurant.

Because Lu Zu painted a crane here and put it on a white wall on the second floor of Xin's Restaurant, Xin's Restaurant has become the Yellow Crane Tower through word of mouth.

As for Xin's Restaurant, it is far from a small workshop in the past, and has become an elegant and leisurely restaurant.

Among them, the state government contributed a lot.

After all, the Yellow Crane Tower is so famous that people from all over the world come here admiringly.

There is only one wine shop, so it is naturally difficult to entertain, and it is also a bit shabby.

As a result, the governor of the state capital sent money to find skilled craftsmen to build a restaurant on the site of the original Xin's restaurant.

And personally nominated the word "Yellow Crane Tower".

Now, in terms of its regulations, the Yellow Crane Tower is second to none in Yueyang City!
After this move, it really attracted a lot of dignitaries to come here.

Some literati and poets even recite poems and sentences here, enjoying it a lot.

And Yue Yang also took this opportunity to congratulate one party, and the prosperity of all industries.

……

Han Xiangzi came from Gushe Mountain, and had never heard of the Yellow Crane Tower.

He came here on a cloud, didn't even go to Yueyang City, and went straight to Dongting Lake.

This Dongting Lake stretches for thousands of miles, and the water waves are vast. Looking from above the void, it looks like green snails.

It is much more magnificent than Yunmengze.

After Han Xiangzi arrived here, he pressed the cloud head, looked for an inaccessible water area, and then fell headlong into the lake.

Whoa!
As soon as he plunged into the lake, the surrounding rivers rushed towards him one after another.

Fortunately, Han Xiangzi had cast the spell to avoid water in advance, so he couldn't get wet right now.

Immediately, his eyes widened, and a golden light flashed.

Han Xiangzi turned his Dharma Eye and looked into the lake. From a distance, he could see a bright and shining hall, located deep in the lake.

"I think it's the Dongting Dragon Palace..."

Seeing this situation, Han Xiangzi thought to himself.

So, he parted from the water waves, opened a mask with his magic power, and swam away quickly.

Seeing that it was almost time to arrive at the Dongting Dragon Palace, a few patrolling shrimp soldiers spotted Han Xiangzi.

The next moment, several shrimp soldiers stepped forward and surrounded him, holding long whips, and shouted:
"Exit!"

"Where did you come from, a Taoist, dare to trespass on the Dragon Palace!"

Seeing this, Han Xiangzi stopped, looked at the shrimp soldiers calmly, and said.

"Pindao is Han Xiangzi of Zhongnan Mountain. He came here by the order of his master to pay respects to the Dragon Lord of Dongting!"

"That being the case, come with me."

The leader of the shrimp soldiers glanced at Han Xiangzi suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and put away their weapons.

In his view, there should be no Taoist priests in the world who dare to mess around in front of Dongting Dragon Lord.

With this in mind, he led him to Dongting Dragon Palace.

……

It is said that it is in the Dongting Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Lord of Dongting, wearing a silver-red dragon robe, with red hair, a broad face, long beard crossing his chest, and sharp eyes, is sitting on the dragon chair at this moment, watching a group of carp maidservants with long sleeves flowing in the hall, walking gracefully. Good at dancing, its color is also leisurely.

"Report!"

"I want to report to Lord Long, there is a person outside the palace who calls himself Han Xiangzi and comes from Zhongnan Mountain. He said that he was ordered by his master to meet the lord!"

Suddenly, a crab will enter the hall and kneel down to report.

"Invite him to come here!"

Hearing this, Dongting Dragon Lord suddenly changed his face slightly, and said.

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing that Lord Long looked so eager, the crab general was taken aback for a moment, and quickly responded.

Then, he hurriedly exited the hall.

at the same time.

Dongting Dragon Lord waved his hand, and all the fangirls and maidservants on the field scattered around and went to the side hall.

Not long after, the Dragon Lord of Dongting saw a young Taoist with a beautiful golden medal, with a jade flute hanging on his waist, came in.

"Poverty Han Xiangzi, meet Dragon Lord!"

Looking at the imposing Dongting Dragon Lord in Longweixuan, Han Xiangzi took the lead in saluting.

"Han Daochang, there is no need to be polite with the old dragon."

Seeing this, Dongting Dragon Lord waved his hand and said with a smile.

The Dragon Lord of Dongting and the True Lord of Enlightenment and Preaching of Zhengyang are old acquaintances.

They have also known each other for hundreds of years.

This time, it was difficult for Zhengyang Enlightenment and Preacher Zhenjun to find Han Yu, so he came to Dongting Dragon Palace in advance to say hello to Dongting Dragon Lord.

It is said that Han Xiangzi, a disciple of the school, will visit in a few days.

At that time, I would like to ask Lord Long to give him some rain and snow, so as to rescue Han Yu from his distress.

To this, Dongting Dragon Lord naturally readily agreed.

You must know that Zhengyang Enlightened and Preaching True Monarch is a disciple of Laojun.

Han Xiangzi is too close to the family, and it's too late to make friends, how could he refuse?

"Han Daoist, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Dragon Lord."

After Han Xiangzi sat down, Dongting Dragon Lord ordered someone to bring spirit tea and fairy fruit to entertain him.

Faced with the enthusiasm of Lord Long, Han Xiangzi was a little at a loss.

"The reason for Daoist Han's visit, the Zhengyang Enlightened Preacher Master has already told the old dragon, I have nothing else in this Dongting Lake, just rain and snow, let Daoist Han pretend."

Seeing that Han Xiangzi drank Kou Ling tea and ate some fairy fruits, Dongting Dragon Lord said straight to the point.

"Long Jun is so kind, I am ashamed to accept it."

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi was ashamed.

"What Daoist Han said made the teacher and the old dragon have a good friendship, a little rain and snow, and it's not a treasure or artifact, so don't feel much kindness."

Dongting Dragon Lord laughed and said embarrassingly.

"Then thank you Longjun for your kindness."

Han Xiangzi cupped his hands to thank him, and asked:
"Where is the rain and snow?"

"What Daoist Han sees is all he wants, but he doesn't know how much he can hold?"

Dongting Dragon Lord stretched out his hand and answered with a smile.

After the words fell, he gave Han Xiangzi a meaningful look.

The implication is that they are deliberately studying him.

"Long Jun, just invite it."

Han Xiangzi smiled lightly.

This Dongting Dragon Lord is a fourth-rank righteous god from the Heavenly Court.

It is also a congenital dragon species, calling the wind and rain, making snow and ice, naturally it is not a problem.

"Then Daoist Han please continue."

Dongting Dragon Lord suddenly became anxious.

As soon as the words fell, he opened his mouth and blew, spitting out the dragon's breath like a gust of wind, howling across the hall.

In the blink of an eye, the water of the Dongting Lake was swept away, and the waves were surging.

Han Xiangzi was in the Dragon Palace, and he could feel the feeling of being tossed and tossed.

In a short while, the ten thousand tides receded and turned into rain and snow, blowing into the Dragon Palace.

Suddenly, the hall was full of frost, and the air-conditioning hit the face.

Seeing this, Han Xiangzi didn't say a word, just waved his sleeve robe, operated the sun and moon in the pot, opened up the gap between the sleeves to the size of a universe, and covered it with rain and snow.

At this moment, letting the rain and snow come with huge waves, he sucked it all into the robe.

At first, Dongting Dragon Lord didn't take it seriously.

But after half a stick of incense, his expression gradually became dignified, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Could it be that Han Xiangzi is like Lu Dongbin who is the reincarnation of the Heavenly God? If not, he has such abundant magic power before he reaches the realm of a real person?"

Dongting Dragon Lord saw it in his eyes, although there was no words on his mouth, he was surprised in his heart.

I thought Han Xiangzi could last a cup of tea at most.

Unexpectedly, a stick of incense has almost passed.

I'm afraid that if the rain and snow are all gone, he still has some energy left.

Therefore, he had to doubt the identity of Han Xiangzi.

After half an hour passed, the rain and snow pouring into the hall became less and less.

Gradually, it disappeared completely.

"Thank you, Lord Dragon, for your gift."

Han Xiangzi withdrew his mana and bowed to the Dragon Lord of Dongting.

"You're welcome, I think the rain and snow will be enough to relieve the drought in Gyeonggi."

Dongting Dragon Lord stroked his beard and smiled.

Listening to his words, it seems that he also knows the catastrophe that Han Yu encountered.

"Mr. Long, Pindao still has some important matters. I want to leave now and rush to Chang'an."

After the rain and snow, Han Xiangzi couldn't sit still.

After talking with Dongting Dragon Lord for a few words, he got up and spoke.

Seeing this, Dongting Dragon Lord sighed and said:

"Forget it, I wanted to stay with Daoist Han for a day, but since the situation is urgent, the old dragon will not stay any longer."

Immediately, thinking of Lu Zu, Dongting Dragon Lord added another sentence:

"It's just that since Daoist Han is here, why don't you go to Yueyang?"

"In Yueyang City, there is a very famous Yellow Crane Tower. It has a close relationship with your brother Lu Dongbin..."

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi was taken aback:
"Oh? Senior brother has been to Yueyang?"

"That's right, he came here to transform into a 1000-year-old tree demon and ascend to the Tao."

Dongting Dragon Lord nodded.

"The poor man should go to the Yellow Crane Tower to have a look."

Han Xiangzi's tone was abrupt, and he muttered for a while.

"It just so happens that the old dragon also wants to go to the world to satisfy his hunger, so why not go to the Yellow Crane Tower with Daoist Han?"

Hearing this, Dongting Dragon Lord changed his mind and said.

With that said, he walked out of the Dragon Palace first.

Seeing this, Han Xiangzi smiled and followed.

When the two of them left the Dragon Palace, they turned into two clear rays of light and rushed out of the river. Then they covered their eyes and came to the shore, mingling among the crowd.

Han Xiangzi's attire hasn't changed much.

On the contrary, the Dragon Lord of Dongting changed his outfit, and all the appearance of the dragon had receded, turning into a middle-aged man in a soapy robe.

But even so, it was hard to hide the majesty on his body.

The two went ashore and went to the Yellow Crane Tower.

Walking on the street, there are cars and horses passing by, people's voices are buzzing, and shoulders are rubbing against each other.

Wine flags can be seen everywhere, teahouses are everywhere, and there are many wine shops and stalls.

"I haven't been in the city for a long time, I didn't expect it to be more lively than before."

"It is estimated that most people are heading for the Yellow Crane Tower."

Dongting Dragon Lord and Han Xiangzi walked side by side, looking at the big changes on both sides of the street, he was a little emotional.

But when walking, he is still familiar with driving.

"Mr. Long, what is so mysterious about the Yellow Crane Tower that can attract everyone so obsessed?"

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi was a little puzzled.

"You will know when you go."

Dongting Dragon Lord smiled, and sold off with Han Xiangzi first.

In fact, Han Xiangzi vaguely guessed something even if Dongting Dragon Lord didn't say anything.

……

After about a cup of tea, the two came to the door of a quiet and elegant restaurant.

"arrive!"

Dongting Dragon Lord looked at the three dragon-flying characters written on the plaque above his head, and let out a dirty breath.

Han Xiangzi looked the Yellow Crane Tower up and down, and saw that the layout of this restaurant was very particular, and he could talk about some construction methods just outside the door.

Although the Yellow Crane Tower exudes an air of indifferent elegance as a whole, it may be because of the crowds and noise that this elegance is a bit vulgar.

"Xiao Er, is there a free table on the second floor?"

When Dragon Lord Dongting entered the building, he asked the waiter.

"Yes, sir."

Seeing that the Dongting Dragon Lord had an extraordinary appearance and a Taoist priest was beside him, the young fellow immediately said politely.

"Just order some signature dishes in the store, don't worry about silver taels."

Hearing this, Dongting Dragon Lord casually threw a string of money to the boy, and ordered.

"Guest officer, don't worry, I will serve you all the signature dishes."

"Second guest officers, upstairs please!"

He got this usual reward for no reason, and the boy suddenly smiled.

Throwing the white scarf over his shoulders, with a smile on his face, he warmly invited Dongting Dragon Lord and Han Xiangzi to the second floor.

"Two guests, wait a moment, the dishes will be served soon."

"In a little less than half an hour, it will be the time when the crane dances. You two can watch while eating."

Leading the two of them to an empty table by the window, the boy wiped the table carelessly and said with a smile.

After the words fell, he pointed to the wall in front of him with the painting of cranes.

Han Xiangzi looked in the direction of the boy's finger, and when he saw the lifelike crane painted on the wall, he understood what was going on in his heart.

After the two entertained them, the servant went downstairs.

He ran to the back kitchen to say hello.

"More than a year ago, your senior brother Lu Dongbin came to this Yueyang City wine shop to eat for half a month. Before leaving, he drew a crane on the wall."

"From then on, as long as the shopkeeper calls the crane, the crane will fly down, land on the ground, and dance lightly."

Dongting Dragon Lord poured a cup of tea by himself, and told Han Xiangzi about the origin of the Yellow Crane Tower.

"Brother is also kind."

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi looked at the noisy diners on the second floor and smiled casually.

"The kindness is true, but the willfulness is also true, but it's really enviable to play in the world like this."

Dongting Dragon Lord said, there was some embarrassment between the words.

During the conversation between the two, the former servant came back, brought a plate of delicacies, and added four pots and one soup.

"Han Daochang, you can move your chopsticks."

Looking at the delicious food in front of him, Dongting Dragon Lord was not polite, picked up the chopsticks, and started to eat.

I am used to the delicacies of mountains and seas in the Dragon Palace, and these delicacies in the world fascinate Dongting Dragon Lord.

Han Xiangzi never had the habit of bigu, so he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

After drinking for three rounds, when the two of them were eating and drinking to their heart's content, they suddenly heard someone calling out:

"He'er~"

As the words fell, there was a rustling sound, but the crane on the wall suddenly spread its wings and flew down.

Seeing this scene, all the diners in the hall were startled, they couldn't care less about eating and drinking, and all stared at the crane.

The crane seemed to be used to the people in this house, after it flew down, it raised its wings high, walked lightly, and danced around.

After a while, it made a clear call, which was as sweet as a yellow warbler.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Wonderful! My 30 taels of silver are worth it!"

"It would be unbelievable if you hadn't seen such a spectacle with your own eyes!"

"..."

at the same time
Seeing this scene, all the diners applauded and praised endlessly.

Here, Dongting Dragon Lord also looked at this scene with great interest.

Suddenly, he caught sight of the jade flute on Han Xiangzi's waist, paused, and asked:

"Han Daochang, can you still play music?"

"I will."

Han Xiangzi nodded.

"You might as well play it and have a scene with this crane."

Dongting Dragon Lord came to the interest and suggested.

"Alright."

Han Xiangzi smiled slightly.

After finishing speaking, he picked up the jade flute on his waist and played it.
