Chapter 297: Qiantang Snowstorm and Flames
Gong Mengbi said, "Dragon Lord has carefully taught me the Dragon Script and the Water Method. I am extremely grateful. How could I say that Dragon Lord is stingy?"
Qian Tang Jun smiled and said, "You were introduced by Fairy Qingyao, how could I treat you unfairly?"
Gong Mengbi thanked him and waited for the Dragon King to teach him the Dharma.
Long Jun stepped forward and grabbed his arm, saying, "Follow me."
Gong Mengbi only felt his body lighten, and was carried by the Dragon King out of the Qiantang River and flew above the clouds.
It was a beautiful moonlight with only a few thin clouds.
Qiantang Jun said, "Just watch carefully."
Qiantang Jun placed him on a cloud, then leaped up and turned into a red dragon.
As the dragon appears, the wind and clouds become violent.
Water vapor rose up and clouds condensed, covering the figure of the red dragon.
The red dragon was flying in the clouds, twisting and turning, stretching out its claws, wagging its tail, and puffing out clouds and mist.
The wind blows hard and the clouds are as thick as ink.
Gong Mengbi's clothes rustled as he looked up at Qiantang Jun's figure. The dragon characters in his mind kept changing, just like the movements of the Dragon Jun at the moment.
His Tongtian Fa was operating naturally, the Eight Winds Curse shone in the central spiritual platform, and a green tail stretched out from behind him, swaying slowly in the wind like a swimming dragon.
Qiantang Jun laughed heartily, manipulating the situation, feeling so happy.
The wind and clouds changed, thunder roared, and lightning flashed, just like the divine light in the eyes of a red dragon.
Qiantang Jun was bathed in thunder and lightning, the clouds gradually sank, the water vapor fell, and turned into snowflakes that scattered to the earth.
A divine light shone in Gong Mengbi's eyes, and the clouds around him kept changing, and finally returned to calm.
Qiantang Jun had at some point retracted his dragon form and stood beside Gong Mengbi again. The two of them stood on the clouds and watched the heavy snow falling beneath their feet.
Long Jun asked, "Nephew, can you see any clues?"
Gong Mengbi said: "I only understood part of it, there is still a long way to go."
Long Jun smiled and said, "It's okay, just go back and figure it out slowly."
He took out a dragon scale from his sleeve and handed it to Gong Mengbi, saying, "The power of moving clouds and rain is contained in it, but don't tell anyone else."
The dragon scales were engraved with the spells for controlling clouds and rain in dragon characters, which flashed in Gong Mengbi's eyes, like little dragons swimming in the void, with wind and rain following them.
Gong Mengbi carefully put it away and said, "Thank you, Lord Long!"
Qian Tang Jun smiled and said, "Call me Uncle Master!"
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Uncle Master!"
The surface of the Qiantang River suddenly parted slowly, and Her Highness Hanzhang and Princess Lingyi emerged from the water.
Princess Lingyi reached out her hand to catch a snowflake and whispered, "My father has passed on the method of making clouds and rain to him."
His Highness Hanzhang said, "It's the method of controlling the clouds and rain. With such talent, it's no wonder that my father values him and is willing to cultivate him."
Princess Lingyi smiled and said, "If my brother says so, then it must be correct."
Princess Hanzhang wanted to add something, but when he saw Princess Lingyi reaching out to catch the snowflakes, which fluttered around her like butterflies, innocent and happy, he suddenly felt that his sister was still young, so why rush into getting married?
The wind and snow grew stronger, and the entire Qiantang River fell asleep in the white snow.
Gong Mengbi did not return home yet. He asked for advice on how to control clouds and rain at Qiantang River. Gradually, it was the middle of the twelfth lunar month.
Gong Mengbi bid farewell to Qiantang Jun, the dragon son, and the dragon daughter, saying, "The annual examinations for the Heavenly Fox Academy are approaching, and I cannot stay for long. Thank you, Uncle Master, for your care these days, and thank you, Brother Hanzhang and Lingyi, for your guidance. I cannot thank you enough, and I will repay you in the future."
Qiantang Jun smiled and said, "You don't need to repay me, just practice well."
Her Highness Hanzhang and Princess Lingyi escorted him out of the Dragon Palace and all the way to the shore.
His Highness Hanzhang said, "If you have time, please come and be my guest."
Princess Lingyi smiled gently, her two jade horns sparkling, "When we are free, we will go to Dongyang to visit you."
Gong Mengbi said, "It's my honor. No need to see you off. We'll meet again someday."
The fox left in the cold wind and gradually disappeared into the wind and snow. Only a red cloak was faintly visible, but it soon disappeared.
Princess Lingyi suddenly sighed and said, "When will I be able to travel the world like him?"
His Highness Hanzhang frowned and opened his mouth to refuse, but when he saw her genuinely envious expression, he suddenly felt guilty, but there was no way he could agree to her request.
Princess Lingyi was born with a deficiency. Her cultivation hadn't reached the point where she could conceal her dragon horns, and her magical powers weren't deep enough. Even though a seventh-rank cultivator was enough to roam the martial arts world, she was the princess of Qiantang. If her identity were discovered, she might do something drastic, which would be unimaginable.
Princess Lingyi certainly knew this, so she just sighed but didn't really ask for anything.
His Highness Hanzhang suddenly said, "Lingyi."
Princess Lingyi looked up at him and heard him say, "Let's go to Minjiang to visit our third brother. He hasn't been back for a long time. I wonder how he's been doing lately."
Princess Lingyi's eyes lit up and she asked, "Really?"
His Highness Hanzhang nodded and said, "Of course, but you must inform your father first, so that he won't be unable to sleep after you leave."
Princess Lingyi burst out laughing, and when the two of them returned to the Water Palace, she jumped for joy.
Princess Lingyi is a real dragon after all, and the dragon's nature is unrestrained.
Gong Mengbi is different. He prefers to get to know more people and things.
He rode the snowstorm to the residence of the second son of the Shen family. Shen Qiao and Shen Yan looked at the snowstorm, sighed, and said, "I was thinking of going back with my uncle, but with this snowstorm, I'm afraid we can't go."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "The people who are here to pick you up have already gone to the Wan family. They will come to look for you soon. Don't worry."
Chen Yan said reluctantly: "After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again."
Gong Mengbi said: "If there is destiny, we will meet naturally. I will always watch over you."
As he spoke, Gong Mengbi disappeared in the mansion like the wind and snow.
Shen Qiao and Shen Yan chased out, only to see the white snow, but there was no sign of Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi said goodbye to Yan Chixia and Yuan Yao, and returned to Wuning in the wind and snow.
Although the wind and snow were fierce, they felt soft as they flew around him.
He rode the wind and cleared away the snow and returned to Fox Hill in Wuning County.
Amidst the white snow, he was the only one walking slowly in his crimson cloak. The foxes hiding among the pavilions and rooms saw him and called out happily, "Palace Master is back!"
The foxes rushed out of the door, surrounded him and told him how much they missed him.
"Without seeing the gentleman, we are all unsure."
Not only the second batch of foxes who were going to take the exam this year, but also the foxes who failed the exam last year were there, begging Kang Wen to leave them a place to stay in the fox courtyard.
Kang Wen couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.
Gong Mengbi was delighted to see both old and new friends, and jokingly said, "You haven't practiced well, so why are you so uncertain?"
The fox stuck out its tongue and said, "Master, you have led us into the Dao. At such a critical moment, we all hope that you will be here."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "I rushed back just because you guys are about to take the annual exam. Come inside and don't stand outside in the wind."
The foxes surrounded Gong Mengbi and entered the hall, as if they were surrounding a ball of fire.
