Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 279 Meeting
After the Guanyin statue was moved away, the roar in the square well became clearer. The voice was majestic and angry, with a hint of excitement.

Xiao Yuhuan was so bold that she went forward to check.

"Princess, be careful!" everyone shouted.

She ignored him and walked to the well in two steps. Just as she was about to look down, she was suddenly blown back a step by a strong airflow.

"Princess!" Xiahou screamed, and then he saw a giant white dragon breaking out of the well!

The white dragon was tall and nimble, with scales covering its body like white jade tiles. It shone brightly in the candlelight in the hall, like a flowing galaxy.

It rushed around the hall somewhat clumsily, but soon gained control of its body and slowly circled in the air. Its dragon whiskers fluttered, its dragon horns were white as jade, and its dragon eyes were like torches, revealing a cold light as it looked down at the people in the hall.

The white dragon nodded three times towards Tao Hongjing, and then stared at Xiao Yuhuan without blinking.

Xiahou and his ghostwriters have slowly protected the princess behind them, with their swords drawn, ready to fight the white dragon at any time.

However, no one expected that crystal clear tears would flow from the white dragon's eyes.

The princess seemed to have telepathy and couldn't help but shed tears. She pushed away the guards blocking her way and walked towards the white dragon step by step.

The white dragon also slowly lowered its head and stopped steadily in front of the princess.

Xiao Yuhuan actually stretched out her hands and hugged the hill-like dragon head.

Xiahou's heart was in his throat. If the dragon opened its mouth, it would swallow the princess whole.

However, the white dragon's movements were very gentle, obviously fearing to accidentally hurt Xiao Yuhuan.

The man and the dragon hugged each other and cried silently.

"Who are you, and why do I feel so close to you?" Xiao Yuhuan stroked the dragon head and asked softly, "I have lived for almost thirty years, and I have never felt this way..."

"..."The white dragon opened its mouth, but only let out a slight roar.

"It has only been a short time since it started practicing, and it is not yet mature enough, so it cannot speak." At this time, Tao Hongjing said softly: "Who knows the 'Spiritual Awakening Talisman'? Can you help it?"

"What the hell is a spirit awakening talisman?" Xiahou asked in a muffled voice.

A Yao looked at Ren Yuan.

Ren Yuan nodded slightly, silently used his fingers as a pen, drew a blue talisman, and chanted:
"The sky is round and the earth is square, and the command is nine chapters. Open your spiritual orifices and understand the mysterious yellow. All things have spirits, and they obey my command. Open your spirits and wisdom, and your words will be fluent. Hurry and obey the command!"

After saying that, he sent the blue talisman to the top of the white dragon's head and sank it into his forehead.

Buy one get one free, draw a shape-changing talisman, and say:
"Above the spiritual sky, the holy energy is shining. All things have spirits, and they obey my laws. Yin and Yang complement each other, and the form changes with the thoughts. I shed my scales and feathers, and I command the transformation. Hurry up and obey the command!"

I saw a burst of colorful light first appearing on the white dragon's body, and then a hazy green light appeared. The huge body quickly shrank and finally turned into a woman in a white dress with extraordinary demeanor.

Seeing the woman's face, which was exactly the appearance of Xi Hui in the dream, Xiao Yuhuan was shocked, her knees softened, and she knelt in front of her and burst into tears:
"Mom!"

This sentence stunned everyone in the palace. Isn't the mother of the third princess the current queen? !

Only the old monk Tao Hongjing stroked his beard and smiled faintly.

"You look just like me when I was little." The woman transformed from the white dragon was also surprised. She stroked Xiao Yuhuan's tender cheek and asked in confusion, "But my youngest daughter is already 28 years old this year, and you look only 12 or 13 years old. I thought you were my granddaughter."

"Mother, my daughter is 28 this year." Xiao Yuhuan burst into tears and said, "But every time I use my magical power, I will pay the price of becoming smaller." "The Great Rejuvenation Technique?" Xi Hui was furious when he heard it and cursed, "Xiao Yan, that bastard, has always wanted my daughter to learn this dragon blood magical power. I stopped the eldest and the second one. In the end, you lost your mother's protection, and he finally succeeded!"

"My poor daughter..." Xi Hui hugged Xiao Yuhuan distressedly and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Yuhuan."

"Yuhuan, I was murdered by a villain on the day you were born. I didn't take care of you growing up. I feel so sorry for you, your mother." Xi Hui also shed tears.

"No, I'll be content just to see my mother again." Xiao Yuhuan replied happily.

"What do you mean by goodbye?" Xi Hui frowned slightly. "Have you seen me somewhere else?"

"Yes." Xiao Yuhuan answered truthfully: "The day before yesterday, I entered my elder sister's dream, where I saw the circumstances before and after my mother gave birth to me."

Xi Hui's face changed when he heard this, and he almost couldn't maintain his human form and said, "You... saw everything?"

"Yes, my daughter saw everything." Xiao Yuhuan nodded and whispered, "Including how mother..."

Xi Hui raised her hand, signaling her not to continue speaking in public. She said in a deep voice, "Call Xiao Yan first, and I will tell him in person! After my death, my remaining soul awakened, and I finally chased him to Jiankang just to tell him about this."

"Yes." Xiao Yuhuan responded quickly, and then ordered loudly: "Go and call my father, and tell him that my mother has resurrected!"

"Yes, sir." Xiahou responded hurriedly in a deep voice and quickly sent someone into the palace to pass on the message.

~~
Taicheng, Shiqian Palace.

Xiao Yan was discussing something in a low voice with Xiao Hui and Xiao Wei, their heads facing each other.

"Isn't this too dangerous, Brother San?"

"Don't worry, I have a destiny, I won't die easily." Xiao Yan shook his head and said firmly: "I am now the emperor, why would I be willing to take risks? But if I do nothing, I will die too, so I decided to give it a try."

"Since Third Brother is risking his life, I will accompany him to the end!"

"Me too!" The eighth and ninth brothers patted their chests to express their opinions.

"Good! Brothers, united as one, can break metal!" Xiao Yan nodded heavily, and ordered: "Keep it a secret, and never tell anyone, including Lao Liu."

"Don't worry, big brother." The two nodded heavily.

While the king, his ministers and brothers were talking, suddenly hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall, followed by the voices of two people.

Xiao Yan frowned and was about to yell when he heard the eunuch Dong Ping, who was guarding outside, shout excitedly, "Your Majesty, great news!"

"What good news? Come in and tell me." He stopped being angry and said in a deep voice.

Dong Ping pushed open the palace door and came in. He knelt down and said with a happy face, "I congratulate Your Majesty. Princess Yongkang sent someone to tell you that the Empress has been resurrected. Your Majesty, please go to Guangzhai Temple to meet her!"

"Oh? Really?" Xiao Hui and Xiao Wei were overjoyed when they heard this, and they also shouted excitedly: "Yu Huan is not kidding, right? Don't let us be happy for nothing."

"That's great, I miss you so much!"

Looking at Xiao Yan's expression again, it was a little subtle. First he was surprised, then he was confused, and a little bit afraid. He was speechless for a long time.
