"Lord Duo: Why do you want to delay the sign, what do you have to explain?" Ye Lipao asked as if pouring a basin of cold water, very displeased.

Huo Nan was also stunned, unclear. King Qin Guang was even more inexplicable.

The air in the hall was stagnant for a while, and it was as silent as night.

Duo Yi carefully played: "Qi Yu Botuo: This pearl is born of a mussel, if you want to take the pearl, you must kill the mussel, but since the founding of the country, the past generations have revered shellfish. Needless to say, Bo Tuo also knows the reason, so the people of the country are snatched from the old dead mussels, never killed alive, which is also the reason why the pearls of their country are famous overseas. If Bo Tuo signs this covenant and decrees the world, the people will definitely kill the mussels and take the pearls in order to pay the gold, so as not to destroy the clan of the Beng Zu? ”

At the beginning, the ancestors of the Beiji country migrated to this southern wilderness from the Han River in Middle Earth, and once competed with birds and beasts for the land of mountains, rivers and seas, and got the help of a pearl clam fairy, so the tribe took the pearl mussel as a totem, called itself "Xiangyou Clan", and the name of the country was "Beiji Country", and the royal family and descendants of the Xiangyou clan are tattooed with the image of the pearl clam fairy on the left chest, to be grateful to Dade, never forget.

Yeli naturally knows this legend: Bengzu is the great benefactor of the royal family and the great god who protects the country.

However, at this time, gold is in short supply, and the slightest delay will be completely stopped, which is called how he faces the world, how to face himself, and how to face Zixi!

Yeli bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, pondered for a long time, and suddenly gritted his gums and said: "The widow has now become a tiger rider, and he can't go up and down, does it make the widow lose face in front of the world? ”

"Yes, the minister obeys. Although Duoyi is a villain and is afraid of God's curse, he is afraid of the ferocity of Yeli, so he does not dare to say more.

He ordered the palace attendants to take paper, inkstone, pen and ink, and after discussing the details with King Qin Guang, they signed a contract, each holding a copy, and discussed the date of the first batch of transactions.

After the contract was signed, the next step was the transaction of pearls and gold, and Yeli was very satisfied and prepared to feast King Qin Guang.

King Qin Guang claimed that he wanted to go back to the lower place to prepare gold, so he and Shen Guantou got up and said goodbye.

The edict for the collection of pearls was promulgated, and within a few days, the word spread among the people.

Although it is taboo to kill mussels and take pearls in the country, in order to pay for gold and save their families, people have fished mussels and stripped pearls.

In just one or two months, the blood filled the rivers and seas, and the bloody drifted for thousands of miles, and the Beng tribe suffered an unprecedented catastrophe.

The states and counties sent the collected pearls to the Tiandu Sacred Palace, where they were stored and traded with King Qin Guang, and the gold in the treasury was slightly full for a while.

However, the follow-up project of the Golden Terrace still requires a large amount of gold, so the night is still worried and difficult to live in peace.

In the afternoon of this day, the night left alone to take a walk in the imperial garden, wandering around for a long time and then a little sleepy, raised his eyes to see an octagonal pavilion next to the lotus pond in front, so he walked in, lazily lay down on the bench in the pavilion, and took a nap.

At that time, it was late autumn, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the climate was pleasant, and the night left in the octagonal pavilion and fell asleep unconsciously.

After a while, suddenly a breeze blew, and the fragrance hit people, and I saw a woman slowly appearing in the lotus pond, with a beautiful face and a graceful posture, and a pair of invisible wings seemed to be born on her shoulders, which were slightly moving.

Yeli was woken up by that burst of incense, opened his eyes, smelled the fragrance and looked, and saw a shadow: not like Zixi, but like Zixi. He was surprised and delighted, looked carefully, overturned and blurred, and couldn't see clearly, so he couldn't help but call "Xi'er", got up and got out of the pavilion, and walked straight towards the lotus pond.

The shadow clearly stood on the side of the lotus pond, but suddenly it fell to the side of the lotus pond, with fluttering clothes, like a fairy.

Ye Li chased left and right, but he couldn't catch up, and he was very anxious: "Xi'er, don't hide from me, I have a lot of things to say to you." ”

"You can see clearly: I'm not your Xi'er. The shadow suddenly looked back, and her voice was clear and beautiful.

"You're not Xi'er, who are you, what are you doing here?" Yeli rubbed his eyes, trying to see clearly, but his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, hazy, and indistinct.

"You know who I am. I have come to ask you to spare my people today. If you can spare my race, I'm willing to help you. The shadow said.

"Relieve my worries?" Yeli is ignorant.

"Not bad. I will give you a word now, you have to remember: Shenma Mountain, Fuyun Pass, Jinru Mountain on the bank of the Wusha River. The shadow chanted.

"Shenma Mountain, Fuyun Pass, Jinru Mountain on the bank of Wusha River. Yeli also whispered again, not knowing what he meant, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"Tomorrow, someone from the northwest will come to tell you. You have to keep it in mind. Where the words fell, the shadow's clothes fluttered and passed away.

"Shenma Mountain, Fuyun Pass, Jinru Mountain on the bank of the Wusha River......" Yeli recited it several times in a daze, but still didn't know what it meant, scratching his ears and cheeks urgently, restless.

Suddenly, Yeli screamed, and he was so anxious to wake up, but he saw that the sky outside the pavilion was blue, and the autumn wind was squirming, which turned out to be a dream.

Yeli scratched his head and said secretly: This word is clearly related to the gold, but where is this "Shenma Mountain, Fuyun Pass, and Wusha River", but I have never heard of it; who is that woman, as if she has seen it somewhere, why do you say "let her race go" and "Tomorrow someone will come to the northwest to tell you"......? Where is such a strange thing! It's just a dream that comes from your heart.

The more Yeli thought about it, the more he wondered, so he yawned tiredly, and fell back on the bench to continue sleeping.

The autumn breeze gently blows, like the soft wattle of a beauty caressing her face, so uncomfortable.

I fell asleep at night, but soon I had a strange dream: I dreamed that I was plowing on the sea, and the plough and shovel were making a sound of dividing the water. When he was in doubt, there was a sudden sound, and he was lost in the stormy seas, unable to struggle in any way.

Night left the dancing hands and woke up screaming, sweating profusely, and a sense of foreboding gradually enveloped my heart.

Yeli returned to the palace in a frightened manner, and immediately summoned Wu Zhu of Duoyi and Si Tianjian into the palace, first told the dream in detail, and then asked the two to interpret the dream for him.

Wu Zhu said: "The former dream has a hint, and the latter dream has a warning." Divination with ministers, but the latter dream is very dangerous: ploughing the sea, it is said that it is impossible to do, and there is nothing to do. ”

Ye Li was taken aback: "What do you mean by this?

"Yes, Beth. Wu Zhu said humbly, "The gist of it is: cultivating on the sea is to do things that cannot be done, and even if you do it, it is useless." ”

When Ye Li heard this, he was furious and said, "Is it talking about the widow building the golden platform?"

Wu Zhu saw that Bo Tuo was furious, and he was so frightened that the six gods were without masters, and said in a trembling voice: "Perhaps...... Maybe...... It's not about it. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yeli asked sternly.

"This ...... Presumably related to the pre-dream. Wu Zhu panicked and found an excuse.

"Something to do with the previous dream?" Ye Li turned into anger and thought, "Where are the 'Shenma Mountain, Fuyun Pass, and Wusha River'?"

"This ...... The villain really doesn't know. Wu Zhu trembled and said, "But according to the dream, there must be a lot of gold in those places. ”

"Don't you know what this means?"

"Berta was angry. At this time, Duo Yi said, "According to the records of the ministers: the Shenma Mountain Fuyun Pass seems to be in the northwest of the country, about a thousand miles away from here. ”

"Who is that woman, and why do you give such strange dreams to the widow?"

"Do you remember the woman in your dream?" Duo Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

"This ...... I didn't see it clearly, I just felt that my face was very beautiful, and there seemed to be a pair of wings behind my shoulders. "Ye Li stared at the brow and recalled.

"That's right!" Duo Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "Could it be that her old man is dreaming of it?"

Yeli and Wu Zhu were both startled, and looked at Duoyi in confusion.

Yeli asked, "That woman is only thirty years old, why does Lord Duo call her an old man?"

"Yes, it should be her old man. Duoyi muttered to herself as she pondered.

"Who the hell is she!" Yeli raised her voice depressedly.

Duo Yi was startled, came back to his senses and said: "If the minister is not mistaken, then the woman in the dream should be the ancestor of the Protector Immortal." ”

"Protector Immortal Mussel Ancestor?" Ye Li looked confused.

"Think about it: since the promulgation of the edict on the expropriation of pearls, the people of the world have wantonly hunted and killed mussels, stripped pearls, and almost killed mussels. Bengzu wanted to save the race, so he gave his dream to Botuo. Duo Yi said.

After hearing this, he carefully recalled the woman's appearance, and sure enough, it was very similar to the pattern on the left breast, so he was pleasantly surprised: "It is really a dream of Bengzuto! Master Duo's analysis is very reasonable!"

Xiao Chen just analyzed it like this, if this dream is true, someone will come to the northwest tomorrow to tell him, and then the truth will be revealed. Duo Yi said.

"That's right. The widow wants to see if there will be someone tomorrow. "The night is far away.

"The ancients said, 'There are thoughts in the day, and dreams in the night', and Botuo worries about gold day and night, so it is inevitable that he will have this dream. If Xiao Chen guessed wrong, he hoped that Botuo would not take this matter to heart, so as not to hurt the dragon body. Duo Yifu reassured.

"The widow was only worried for a while, and then he was uneasy, and now that Lord Jingduo said this, the widow has become much more down-to-earth. Yeli breathed a sigh of relief.

"The minister retired first. Duo Yi said.

Yeli nodded and motioned for the two to retreat.

Duo Yi and Wu Zhu bowed deeply, bowed their heads and bowed their backs and exited the palace.
