"The big ship is launching!" The voice of the child shouted excitedly in the bustling crowd, and the onlookers also looked towards this side. Looking around at the crowd, and then looking in the direction of Kaguya Hime's house, for a moment, he was full of self-confidence ready to go.

This is a newly built large ship with two decks, complete with sculls, rudders and other ship equipment, one large sail and two small sails, the head and tail are uplifted, there are guard plates on both sides, and there are summoned soldiers holding bows and arrows The guard is on the side, the arrow stone and the ballast stone are placed together, and all the personnel are in place. It is a top-notch ship in this era.

This is a large warship that Otomo Miyukyo Dai Nagon asked for from the emperor. It was not very likely to get the emperor's promise, but the emperor's curiosity was aroused by the mysterious rumors of the "Dragon King". The prince who withdrew from the competition for Kaguya Ji said that the dragon is auspicious, and if he can get the jade of the dragon, everyone will be able to see the sageness of His Majesty in governing the world, so he even persuaded the palace , Let the majesty relax, and send sailors and soldiers who are familiar with the helm to help, and it will definitely make him return with a rewarding experience.

Otomo Miyuki Danayan, who was hit on the head by the surprise, suddenly felt a surge of excitement, and his mood, which was still a little uneasy, was suddenly filled with a sense of lofty mission.He is now standing by the bow of the ship, waving to the countless people who came to watch the bustle on the shore... He noticed with sharp eyes that his other opponents were standing in the crowd, looking at the crowd with ashen faces. The direction of this side, which made his expression more proud, he was almost thinking about the day when he returned home with a beautiful woman in his arms, which made him laugh out loud.

"Start the boat——" Da Nagon waved his hand, and the people behind him shouted loudly. With the splashing of the sea waves, Otomo Miyuki Da Nagon's sea adventure began today.Ordinary people who have never seen a ship of this size have never been shocked by such a huge momentum. They watched the big ship disappear on the sea level from a distance, and did not return for a long time. It was not until nightfall that they gradually evacuated. open.

The minister on the right, Master Abe, snorted coldly. He didn’t want to stay on the pier any longer. He glanced at the other two people coldly, flicked his sleeves, and sat in his own cart. The driver flicked his long whip, and the bullock The car stepped away.

Prince Shizuo smiled at Zhong Nayan Ishigami, and the other party performed the courtesy of an official, and the prince said leisurely: "I thought Da Nayan couldn't go to sea at all. He sent out the servants of his family People came to inquire, but none of the boatmen was willing to take them to find the dragon. Even Danayan's own family members thought that the patriarch had lost consciousness. Many servants who received such orders ran away. Everyone decided it was impossible to do it."

Ishigami Zhong Nayan seemed to be saying good things for Da Nayan: "After all, he is very sincere to Kaguya Ji. For her, he kicked out the wife and concubines he married back home, and even specially for Kaguya Ji builds special and beautiful houses, as if he could really get his wish."

Having said that, he also shook his head, looking incomprehensible.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became deadlocked. Prince Shizuo tentatively said: "I heard that you want to fetch jade branches from Penglai, Penglai, this legendary fairy island, do you really know how to get there?"

"I've heard that too," Ishigami Zhongnayan also replied: "Your Highness, your test is the stone bowl in front of the Buddha. How many years are you going to spend to reach Tianzhu? After arriving, the Buddha is really willing to give himself Is your stone bowl given to you, a person who has never paid homage to the Buddha?"

The two broke up unhappy.

Tonight is the Qixi Festival, which is a festival transformed from the "July Moon Basin Festival" passed down from the court.In order to celebrate this day, the palace set up lampstands and square tables early on, and arranged various fruits and drinks to congratulate them. The people who had bathed seven times held a Qixi poetry meeting amidst the music of Guzheng.After a variety of joyful games, the emperor would go to watch sumo matches and give rich rewards to the final victors.Some subordinate departments sent over seven-hole needles for the maids to beg for.

Extending to the outside of the palace, adults and children wrote their wishes on paper sticks, hung them on bamboo branches, and waited for the next day, letting them drift away with the water together with the lanterns, representing the disaster of drifting away best wishes.Folks performed singing and dancing performances, and fireworks exploded in the night sky. Crowds of people brought their families to watch the rare beauty, and the long dragon singing and dancing passed by their side.

Various stalls were set up on both sides of the street, and the aroma of octopus balls and taiyaki ran through the road. On the wooden stand, a strong man with a white cloth tied on his head was beating a half-person-high taiko drum, and someone stopped. Come, I bought a puppet in red and green clothes at a nearby stall. At the corner, the puppet show was being performed to the climax, which aroused the audience's amazement, and the bare-armed busker on the other side vomited. As soon as the wine was exported, a long fire dragon sprang out, instantly making the atmosphere even more exciting.

Rarely seen in the city, the low and high lanterns illuminate the surrounding things.Xiao Humaru walked a step behind the God-inspector, with three-pointed thoughts and seven-pointed thoughts, he bought a fluffy hat, as if he wanted to cover the hair on his head that looked like ears, But soon, he took it off again, as if he felt that it did not fit his heroic image, and decided to give it to other sword men as gifts after returning to Honmaru.

Ji Qiu walked a little ahead, this festive atmosphere reminded him of his last outing, which was in the ghost city of another world with Tsurumaru Kuninaga, and the time when he received a gift from the Dragon King.He had a ghost mask on his face, which was an interesting product he picked out at random when he walked in front, but the image was a little scary, with blue-faced fangs and two long horns protruding from the left and the right; The eye sockets are also wide open, only two small holes are opened in the pupils for the eyes to see.

"Huh?" Ji Qiu suddenly stopped in his tracks.Xiaohumaru noticed his stop, and he followed the direction of his gaze, what he saw was a bookstall laid on the ground, and beside the stall owner were several pictures of mountains and rivers. The owner of the painting is also an elegant man holding a scroll and reading. He has extremely black hair, and his clothes are a simple and elegant blue gown. His back is straight, his face is good, and he is very graceful.

Ji Qiu thought for a moment, walked to the front of the bookstall, lowered his eyes, and saw that on the long cloth, there were some ancient stone slips and bamboo books, and there were some written records. Fur, although some places are slightly missing, but Ji Qiu found that these are some real historical things.

Noticing that a new customer had arrived, the stall owner also put down the scroll in his hand. He looked directly at Ji Qiu's mask and waited for the customer's choice with a smile on his face.

Ji Qiu's eyes focused on this man's handsome face, he suddenly smiled and asked lightly, "May I know your name?"

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Ji Qiu slowly, but he didn't see anything wrong with this customer. If it was the group of followers, it would be impossible for them to be so patient. already known names.After pondering for a while, he softened his tone and said calmly: "Guests can call me 'You Junzi'."

The smile on Ji Qiu's lips widened a little.If he remembered correctly, the title of the book he got from that bookman that time was "The Collection of Youjunzi". This same title made him understand something.

Even though the image is different, this "youjunzi" is the future scholar.Through time, Ji Qiu can see his wrinkled old face in the future.

Ji Qiu's eyes shifted to the scroll, it was an excellent painting with brush and ink, the water stains on the cloth were perfectly blended, the majesty of the mountains and the vitality of the water, all came to life; there were a few children playing by the stream Looking at their clothes and attire, they are all exquisite and innocent girls. Seeing them, it seems that they can also hear the faint sound of playing and laughing.

Ji Qiu didn't speak, but a female guest who was already standing in front of the book suddenly sighed: "The phoenix cover turns with the wind, and the shadow of the magpie floats in the waves; there is short music in front of the scorpion, and long sorrow in the back."

"In this world, is there really a fairy from the sky who would fall in love with an ordinary mortal?" The woman's voice was beautiful, with a kind of noble purity, but unfortunately, the veil on her head The hat covered her face, making it impossible for people to get a glimpse of her face, but even so, it was not difficult to imagine her beauty under the veil.

The two present were not ordinary human beings.Ji Qiu was not surprised, and the stall owner named "You Junzi" only slightly praised: "This customer is very knowledgeable, and he knows that the most original version before the Qixi Festival was handed down is different from the current one. It is not the work of two gods and men. Marriage is a love affair between one person and one immortal."
