"What is this?" Tian Yuan's eyes widened in surprise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tianyue and Cong Hua got closer, and they couldn't recognize what kind of animal Qingran brought back.

Yu Zimo set aside a few elder brothers and looked at the translucent animal in Qingran's arms fixedly. The expression on his face was first surprised, then confused, and then solemn.

"Zi Mo, do you know this thing?" Cong Hua asked in a deep voice when he saw the change in his sister's expression.

Yu Zimo's eyes were gloomy, he nodded, was silent for a moment, and said, "This is the Ice Qilin." ”

"Qilin, Divine Beast?" both Tianyue and Tianyue had the same surprised expression on their faces. The unicorn is a sacred beast in the mountains, they have only heard of it, but they have never seen it. However, according to the records in the book, the unicorn of the mythical beast has a huge body, hair like fire, and skin like armor. And what they saw in front of them was just a very weak little guy, which was completely different from what was recorded in the book.

"There are many types of unicorns, and the Ice Qilin is the smallest of them. It generally lives in snow-capped mountains and glaciers, how can it appear in Qingyin Mountain?" Yu Zimo frowned, puzzled in his heart.

"What should we do with it?" asked Qingran, "When I found it, it seemed to be very weak and dying. ”

"Take it back first. Yu Zimo said firmly, "The Ice Qilin lives in the land of ice and snow, and now that the weather is cold, it can still survive, but once the weather warms up, it will not be able to adapt. ”

"But it can't always be winter in the palace. Qingran said.

"There is an ice cellar in the palace and we can put it in the ice cellar. Tian Yuan said.

That's the way to go.

Yu Zimo stretched out her hand to untie the jade pendant on her waist, "Jade is cold, and Bailuan comes from a thousand years of cold ice," she put Bailuan jade pendant in Qingran's arms, next to the ice qilin. "And it's very spiritual, I hope it can help it. ”

"What about these prey?" Tian Yuan asked.

"Let's put it now, we need to go as soon as possible. Yu Zimo said.

Originally, when they caught the prey, they wanted to bring the prey back to the mountains and release it. There was a hurry, and Tian Yuan directly let go of the prey in his hand. Those golden chickens and roe deer escaped death and ran into the mountains as fast as they could. The snow fox was even more dexterous, and as soon as the man's hand loosened slightly, he slid to the ground and ran quickly into the dense forest. He ran to the edge of the woods, and when he felt that no one was chasing him, he boldly stopped, turned his head, and stared with fiery eyes at the group of people who had caught it and released it. Yu Zimo and they have already got on the horse. Qingran was carrying the ice unicorn. And they hurried back to the king's palace.

Back at the palace, Cong Hua had the king informed that they had an ice unicorn. The unicorn is a divine beast and a symbol of auspiciousness, and the appearance of the unicorn must be known to the king of Xin. The others arrived at Yu Zimo's residence. Among all the people, only Yu Zimo recognized the Ice Qilin, and only she knew how to treat the Ice Qilin.

Yu Zimo asked people to take a large jade plate, spread the ice on the jade plate, and make an ice bed. Then let Qingran put the Kirin on the ice bed.

King Xin rushed to the news as soon as he heard the news. When he saw the unicorn on the jade plate, he was really shocked, and his face was full of surprise.

"This is the Qilin, if other countries know that we have obtained this divine beast, they will definitely come to congratulate them. ”

"It is not appropriate to tell the nations about the unicorn. Yu Zimo understood his father's excitement. But this matter has to be considered in the long run.

King Xin quickly understood the meaning of his daughter's words, and nodded silently, his eyes still flashing with excitement.

Although King Xin decided to keep the news of the discovery of the Qilin a secret from the outside world, the news still spread in the palace.

When the high priest of the backyard got the news, he sent a message that he wanted to see the demeanor of the divine beast.

When King Xin learned about it, he looked at his daughter with an embarrassed expression. Although the high priest predicted that Yu Zimo would bring luck to the Xin Kingdom, the facts also proved his words. But he didn't like the princess. The high priest was in high esteem, and even King Xin respected him. And this princess is willful, does not take him seriously, and does not respect him enough. This is unacceptable to him.

Yu Zimo was on the side, knowing what his father was thinking, and said generously, "He is the high priest of the Xin Kingdom, so he naturally has the right to pay homage to the Qilin." She said to her eldest brother Cong Hua, "Big brother, please take a trip." If I go, I guess he'll just go away. ”

Cong Hua naturally knows the powerful relationship. He solemnly picked up the unicorn and walked with steady steps towards the high priest's quarters.

By this time, the high priest had put on his new clothes, walked out of his dim room, and stood in the courtyard in front of it, letting the cold wind wash his half-white hair and thin body.

Cong Hua arrived with the unicorn in his hand, and he immediately became clear and cloudy, kneeling and dancing in front of the unicorn. After some ceremony, he ordered someone to sit in the courtyard and ask Cong Hua about the origin of the ice unicorn.

Cong Hua told them in detail about the fact that they went hunting in Qingyin Mountain and Qingran accidentally found the ice qilin.

"Providence. When the high priest heard this, he sighed softly for a long time. "It's not normal for this unicorn to appear in the Xin Kingdom, a group of you went into the mountain, and it was found by Xiao Qingran. ”

"High Priest, do you mean that this Qilin does not belong to my Xin Kingdom?" asked Cong Hua cautiously.

"Nope. The High Priest shook his thin head, "After all, the Qilin was found in my Xin Kingdom, and it is still near the capital. Although Xiao Qingran is from the Shang country, he has married the princess of our country, and he can be regarded as a person from half of the Xin country. And looking at the weak appearance of this unicorn, although I know it, I am powerless to save it. I'm afraid it will have to rely on the princess to survive. The old priest had to admit that his heart was powerless.

"Zi Mo-" Cong Hua didn't expect the high priest to say this.

"It's my luck to be able to see the divine beast unicorn with my own eyes in my lifetime, so you can take the unicorn with you. The High Priest lowered his old, helpless gaze, slowly stood up, and staggered back to the room where he had been claustrophobic for many years. ……

Cong Hua brought the unicorn back to Zi Mo. When the people who came to see the Qilin went back, he asked his sister Yu Zimo what he planned to do. You can't let the ice qilin curl up in the jade plate all the time. The weather will get warmer soon, and you can't put the divine beast in the underground ice cellar, which is disrespectful to the divine beast.

Yu Zimo said: "I have already thought about it on the way back from Qingyin Mountain. I'm going to send it to the cold pool. ”

Cong Hua's eyes lit up, the cold pool is on the top of the sacred mountain White Bird Mountain, and it is low temperature all year round, but it is a good place to place the unicorn.

"Since you said that this unicorn came from a glacier, should we send it back to where it lives? Qingran said.

"The land of glaciers is far away from Jingshan, and it will take nearly a year for the fast horse to walk, and we still don't know why this ice unicorn will appear with us, and I am afraid that there will be changes if we send it back rashly. ”

"I see, or you think about it. ”

"I'll tell my father and let him arrange it. Cong Hua said.
