Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 278 Escape and meet again

In the Taihu Dragon Palace, Jiang Aduan returned to his residence surrounded by envious friends.

Because he was favored by Dragon Lord Ao Lang, he now has an independent residence.

After saying goodbye to his companions and entering his room and closing the door, he immediately put on a sad expression and sat at the table in a daze.

"Atuan, you won such a big fortune today, why are you so depressed?"

A very low-pitched old voice suddenly sounded outside the window, startling Jiang Aduan.

When he saw an old man in his fifties with gray hair and beard appearing outside the open window, he breathed a sigh of relief and called out: "Uncle Wang!"

The old man turned to the door and pushed it in. After entering, he closed the window first, then sat down opposite Jiang Aduan, and said seriously: "Aduan, have you forgotten my instructions? It seems that this place is The fairy cave is actually a den of tigers and wolves. One wrong step can lead to fatal disaster, so you must always be vigilant. You are sighing like this, but you want people to know that you are not living happily in Taihu Dragon Palace? "

Jiang Aduan felt a chill in his heart. He quickly stood up and bowed sincerely to admit his mistake: "Uncle Wang, I was indeed careless just now."

He was originally from Zhenjiang, and because of his nimbleness and agility since he was a child, every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, he would perform various tricks such as circling and rolling on the several-foot-high horizontal railing built on the dragon boat, with the mighty Yangtze River below. This kind of game that hovers on the edge of life and death can earn a lot of money for poor families.

Jiang Aduan was stunned for a moment and then overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle Wang, has there been a way to escape from this ghost place?"

Jiang Aduan nodded first, but then he looked hesitant and asked, "Uncle Wang, can I...can I bring one more person with me?"

During this year's Dragon Boat Festival, he performed in front of the crowd as usual. When he was getting to the climax, an old turtle as big as a small mountain suddenly emerged from the water, easily overturned several dragon boats, and opened its huge mouth densely packed with sharp teeth like knives to swallow it alive. After dozens of people fell into the water, they brought Jiang Aduan, who was already stunned, to this place.

The old man's expression softened slightly, and he raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and then asked: "I saw that the Dragon Palace was mobilizing troops and generals. What big thing happened in the palace just now?"

After hearing this, the old man thought for a moment, slapped his thigh and said, "This is a golden opportunity for us to escape!"

"Uncle Wang's guess is good."

It wasn't until I met the old man in front of me by chance that I began to please my grandma under his guidance. Now, my talent in dancing is appreciated by Long Jun Ao Lang.

Jiang Atuan nodded, and then described in detail everything he heard and witnessed in the palace.

Jiang Aduan was equally excited and asked in a low voice: "Since Uncle Wang already has a plan, when will we take action?"

Jiang Aduan suffered a lot because he didn't understand the rules and sophistication of the world when he first arrived.

Although he had no worries about food and clothing in the Dragon Palace, Jiang Aduan missed his family in the world all the time and wanted to escape from here and go home to reunite with his relatives.

The old turtle transformed into a human form in front of Jiang Atuan, claiming to be General Yuan, the general under the command of the Dragon Lord of Taihu Lake. Following the Dragon Lord's order, he recruited good dancers from the world to enrich the Dragon Palace Dance Music Department. He then handed him over to Grandma Jie and incorporated him into the four departments of the Dance Music Department. "The Wicker Department" in .

The old man said: "Tonight, after the third watch, you can quietly come to me under the tallest tree in the garden."

The old man's face was full of uncontrollable joy, and he whispered: "At this moment, the Dragon Palace is preparing for war, and the defense is not as tight as before. I can take the opportunity to escape through that loophole."

"Sunset?" The old man guessed what he was thinking.

Jiang Aduan's face was full of embarrassment, but he still nodded.

The old man sighed: "You are a passionate seed, but that girl in the sunset is indeed worthy of your infatuation. Anyway, I want to escape, so it doesn't hurt to take one more person with me, but do you have time to inform her?" Jiang Aduan's face turned red. Genghong, murmured: "After dusk these days, we will meet in the lotus pond of the imperial garden."

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter.

There is actually a difference between day and night in this underwater world.

At night, the originally bright and majestic space darkened, and lights were lit everywhere in the Dragon Palace.

However, even though there were many lights, there would always be places that candles could not illuminate. Zhang Aduan and the girl he danced with during the day, Sunxia, ​​used the shadows outside the light to cover their way and sneaked all the way to the center of the imperial garden where a dozen people hugged each other. Looking up, you can't see the top of the big tree.

The old man had been waiting under the tree for a long time. When he saw the young man and woman arriving as promised, he pointed to the top of the big tree and whispered: "I have searched around and found out that there are restrictions on the water wall around this water house. You must obtain the evil dragon's order." The talisman is not allowed to go in or out, and the only place above the big tree is where the forbidden gate is. You all should be careful when following me."

After that, he climbed up the tree trunk, moving like an ape, but he was very agile and agile.

Jiang Aduan and Wanxia looked at each other, understanding each other, and immediately climbed up behind the old man.

Although they are "dancers" rather than "warriors", their physical dexterity is far better than that of ordinary people, and their tree climbing movements are not much slower than the old man.

The three of them climbed higher and higher along the trunk, and finally climbed to the top of the big tree. Three feet above it was the highest point of the hemispherical space, and the only loophole.

The old man turned around and said, "You guys can clearly see my movements and directions!"

After saying that, he jumped up with both feet and threw himself into the water flow blocked by the invisible force.

Jiang Aduan and Wanxia joined hands with each other, jumped up without any hesitation, and also passed through the invisible barrier.

The three people entered the water one after another, and the pressure around them increased sharply. Fortunately, they were all familiar with the nature of water, and they struggled to float on the water, and finally surfaced before the breath they were holding was exhausted.

The location where they came out of the water was not far from the east coast of Taihu Lake. They could see the boats and lights parked on the shore, so they swam towards this side together and reached the shore in a short time.

After escaping and ascending to heaven, the three of them were all extremely happy, and it took a long time to calm down.

The old man said: "If you have any property with you, I will find a boat and set off overnight to enter the canal. Then I will take you and your family back to Atuan's hometown of Zhenjiang first, and then I will return to Luzhou."

Wanxia immediately picked out a pearl hairpin from her hair and handed it to the old man.

The old man was really an experienced veteran. Not long after, he hired a small boat and took three people to set sail.

After the boat entered the canal, it turned north. Because he was escaping for his life, the old man paid extra for the boat and agreed to travel day and night.

That night, when the boat was moving, I suddenly saw a larger passenger ship moving in front of me, but at a slightly slower speed, so the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

When he got close, the old man looked up at the boat and saw several wind lanterns lit on the deck, and three girls and a boy were having fun playing Cuju.

When the kick was in full swing, one of the girls in a yellow shirt kicked it out, sending the ball flying several feet into the sky.

The old man was taken aback and lost his voice: "This is my family's 'meteor crutch' stunt!"
