Chapter 490: Desolation
Since he couldn't ask about the news of Huaguo Mountain, Chen Jingle didn't want to stay here longer.
I just made up my mind in my heart to see if I could find an insider elsewhere to ask, and it would not be in vain.
So he looked in one direction and left.
Lao Suo glanced in the direction he had left, lay down slowly, squinted his eyes and continued to bask in the sun, lazily, humming an unknown song in his mouth, a little unpleasant, but pleasant.
The dilapidated canopy boat looks a little lonely on the edge of this empty and uninhabited sea.
……
Chen Jingle flew directly to the place where the crowd in the Inner Dongsheng Divine Continent was most dense, which should be the capital of the Aolai Kingdom.
Along the way, he stopped a lot and asked passers-by about Huaguo Mountain, of course, he was very clever to change his appearance, but unfortunately he found nothing.
None of the people here seem to have heard of the name of Huaguo Mountain.
It stands to reason that it shouldn't, the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, the Monkey King, the Monkey King, any name is enough to be passed down through the ages, how can no one know?
Chen Jingle was puzzled.
However, when asked about myths and legends, people here immediately mention Nuwa Niangniang.
There are many legends about Nuwa Niangniang in Dongsheng Shenzhou, the most extensive is that she created the human race, and later mending the sky. The human race of Dongsheng Shenzhou is all based on Nuwa Niangniang's belief, and there are also temples dedicated to Nuwa Niangniang in Aolai China.
"Nuwa Temple?" Hearing this, Chen Jingle's heart fluttered.
It turned out that this country of Aolai was different from those secular kingdoms in Nanzhan Buzhou, it did not have a king, and the highest power was the high priest of the temple.
The high priest was responsible for praying to Nuwa Niangniang for good weather throughout the year and guiding the people to give birth, and the temple guards were responsible for order management. The people of the country live and work in peace and contentment, the products are abundant and self-sufficient, and there are no other countries in the vicinity, so it is not like the continuous war in the southern Zhanbu continent.
It can be said that it is a large paradise.
If Chen Jingle wants to know more information, then it is the best choice to go directly to the Nuwa Temple for consultation, and with the high priest's character of being kind to others and helping others, it is likely to be told directly.
However, Chen Jingle hesitated slightly, and the Nuwa Temple ...... Kind of don't want to go.
He was a little resistant, or a little cowardly.
It's Nuwa Niangniang's temple, it's definitely extraordinary, and God knows if something will happen if you go there.
This is the world of mythical immortals, not the materialist plane of the earth. There are gods three feet above their heads, and they can't even mention the names of the mighty people casually, let alone run in front of the statues of other people's temples.
He has always been very resistant to the existence of these powers, after all, with his current strength, he is completely inadequate in front of others.
Chen Jingle frowned: "Let's go shopping first, it's really not good, it's not too late to think about it." ”
……
On the beach, not long after Chen Jingle left, another figure appeared.
However, this figure broke through the seawater, drilled out of the seabed, surfaced on the surface, and walked on the waves.
This is a girl dressed in ayara, with a clever smile between her eyebrows and her eyes, as if she has gathered the spiritual essence of the world, her toes are light, and the waves under her feet are swirling as if they want to do so.
Lao Suo, who was lying on the canopy boat, hurriedly got up and shouted loudly from a distance: "My subordinates have seen Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess." ”
Mom, why did this Highness run out?
As soon as I finished speaking, the Dragon Palace has a dragon girl running out to play the world every once in a while, and it was immediately fulfilled at this time, which is really cheap.
Lao Suo couldn't wait to slap himself twice.
The girl's figure paused and frowned slightly: "It's you, Turtle Eleven, it's your turn to be on duty this year?"
If memory serves, this Turtle Eleven is the youngest son of Prime Minister Turtle. Like his ten elder brothers, they are all water tribes in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and they are all extraordinary.
As the saying goes, the thousand-year-old king is eighty-thousand-year-old turtle, don't look at his transformation into a mortal and look quite old, in fact, he has been cultivating for thousands of years. The life of their turtle clan is also extremely long among the sea clan.
"Yes, Your Highness the Ninth Princess. ”
The old man, who was called Turtle Eleven, accompanied him with a smiling face, and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, did you sneak out again?"
The ninth princess waved her hand impatiently, and snorted: "Anla, An, this princess just ran out to breathe, stayed in the Dragon Palace all day to cultivate, and was bored to death." Besides, with the cultivation of this princess, no one in the world can hurt me. ”
Turtle Eleven's face was embarrassed, it was not a question of whether he was injured or not, but the rules of the Dragon Palace were there, if he let others know that he didn't stop him when he saw Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess running out to play, he would be punished.
At that time, even if his father is protected, he will definitely be disciplined, and maybe he will have to be removed.
He cherishes this opportunity to rotate, the world is much more interesting than the bottom of the sea.
Besides, if something really goes wrong, who can afford to be responsible?
He's a turtle, not a hydra, he has only one head, and if he cuts it off, it's gone!
Before he could speak, the Ninth Princess asked first: "By the way, have there been any interesting things happening recently?"
Turtle Eleven shrank his neck and rolled his eyes: "Uh...... During the small rotation period, you have to prevent all kinds of small nights from appearing, and you don't dare to leave the beach for half a step, so naturally you have no way of knowing. It's been quiet lately, and nothing seems to have happened. ”
The ninth princess rolled her eyes angrily: "What do you want!"
Turtle Eleven could only hold his neck when he was scolded, his mind was spinning, and he was thinking about how to stop the ninth princess.
At the same time, he secretly scolded in his heart, those shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the Dragon Palace are really a group of fools, and the nine princesses don't know when they run out.
"Forget it, Princess Ben can just walk around by herself. The girl yawned, didn't pay attention, and the conjured humanoid forehead "popped" on the ground, and the little dragon horn jumped out, and hurriedly reached out and pressed it again.
Turtle Eleven was anxious, his eyes rolled, and he said cautiously: "By the way, Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, just now, Xiao Chen met a Terran monk who seemed to be from another continent. That kid is young, and he has actually cultivated to the Yuan Infant Stage, although the realm is still very low compared to the Dragon Clan and the Water Clan, but looking at the entire Dongsheng Divine Continent, he should be one of the best. He seemed to be looking for some kind of mountain, and asked if there were any myths and legends. ”
Regarding the betrayal of Chen Jingle, Turtle Eleven naturally did not feel the slightest guilt.
What does a mere Terran monk have to do with him?
If you can let Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess have fun, it will also be an honor for the other party. If His Highness is happy, it is much better to reward him with something than his hard work!
As long as they can hold Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess for a while, presumably the guards of the Dragon Palace will react quickly, and naturally someone will go to bring the Ninth Princess back, and then she will not have to be punished, killing two birds with one stone.
"Yuan Infant Stage, it's inevitably too weak, isn't it?" the Ninth Princess frowned, "But if the aura is exhausted today, there are still Terran monks who have cultivated to become Yuan Infant, which is indeed a bit interesting." In which direction did he go?"
"It seems to be over there. Turtle Eleven pointed to the place where Chen Jingle had left before.
The ninth princess's expression was excited, and she suddenly remembered something, and looked at Gui Eleven arrogantly: "I'm leaving, if my father sends someone out to find me, you know, hum." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Turtle Eleven nodded like pounding garlic, where did he dare to have half an objection.
The Ninth Princess's figure flickered, and instantly turned into a rainbow light and disappeared into the sky.
Turtle Eleven didn't dare to slack off, secretly pinched the trick, a small paper crane flew out of him, followed the path of the ninth princess and disappeared in an instant, and at the same time hurriedly sent a message to inform several brothers at the bottom of the sea, otherwise he would be scolded if he was late.
……
"Damn, where is Huaguo Mountain?!" Chen Jingle was about to go crazy.
The people who have asked, if not a thousand, but eight hundred, and there is not a single one who knows, let alone know, they have not even heard of it.
That's weird.
He really wondered if he had come to the wrong place, but this was indeed Dongsheng Divine Continent!
"You say...... Huaguo Mountain?"
Inside the teahouse, a young man dressed as a scholar had a hesitant expression.
Chen Jingle's eyes lit up, and after asking so many people, he finally heard a little clue about Huaguo Mountain, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, this friend, have you heard of Huaguo Mountain?"
There's no way, I've asked for so long, and there is no news at all, so it's strange that I'm not in a hurry.
He didn't know why he was so obsessed, just because of that legend, or because he had worshipped it.
Maybe both.
The scholar frowned and thought, "I seem to have seen this name somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while......"
A scholar next to him, who was dressed similarly and had a rather arrogant personality, interrupted: "Brother Lu, you shouldn't be mistaken, right? Why didn't I listen to Mr.?"
The scholar surnamed Lu shook his head: "It's not what Mr. said...... It seems to be in my father's study, a certain book mentioned above. ”
Facing Chen Jingle, who was dumbfounded, Lu Shusheng smiled: "Don't worry, this friend, you wait here for a while, and let Xiaosheng go home and search." ”
Chen Jingle couldn't help but say eagerly: "Thank you very much! This matter is very important to me, please bear with me!"
"Out of the way. Lu Shusheng waved his hand, left the tea house, and after a while, he came back.
"Found it, found ......"
Lu Shusheng shouted from afar, and Chen Jingle hurriedly leaned over.
"Look!"
Chen Jingle took Lu Shusheng's yellowed book, which was a travelogue written by the ancients, and saw that it read: "...... There is a famous mountain on the east coast, which is called flowers and fruits. The tide of the town is the ocean, the tide is surging and the silver mountain fish enters the hole; Weining Yaohai, the waves are turning over the snow and the waves are mirage...... Yao grass and strange flowers are not grateful, green pines and cypresses are elusive. Immortal peaches often bear fruit, and every bamboo is left in the clouds......"
Then the rest is gone, and the rest of the space is devoted to some fables.
Chen Jingle flipped over and over, a little painful: "That's all?"
Lu Shusheng smiled apologetically: "It seems that only this book has mentioned it." ”
Chen Jingle was very disappointed, there was only a few words on this travelogue, except for the name of Huaguo Mountain, there was no information at all, and there was not even a record of the direction.
"Looks like we're going to have to go to the temple. Chen Jingle sighed.
……
Bidding farewell to Lu Shusheng, Chen Jingle walked directly towards the Nuwa Temple, feeling apprehensive.
However, as soon as he walked to the door of the temple, he was still hesitating to enter, and the guard at the door cast a vigilant gaze, and heard a soft and pleasant voice from inside: "Your guest has come from afar, and I hope you will forgive me." ”
Well?
Chen Jingle was slightly stunned, took a deep breath, and stepped in.
The two guards in armor looked at each other and did not stop them.
Stepping into the temple, what catches your eye is a tall stone statue with a human head and a snake body, with a kind and gentle face.
Chen Jingle didn't dare to look more, and looked at the person opposite, a young girl wearing Aolai's characteristic costume, looking at him with a smile.
This is the one who just spoke?
Chen Jingle was a little puzzled and embarrassed, so he hurriedly held his breath and said, "Poor Dao has seen the girl...... You know I'm coming?"
The girl smiled and nodded silently.
Chen Jingle couldn't hold his breath, so he had to take the initiative to ask: "Hello girl, it's like this, the poor road is from Nanzhan Buzhou, and I came here this time to ask the high priest for some things. ”
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, "I am the High Priest." ”
"Huh?!" Chen Jingle's eyes widened.
What's the situation?
Shouldn't all high priests be held by old men of high moral character? How can she be a little girl?
Chen Jingle almost wondered if the other party was lying to him.
The girl guessed what he was thinking, and explained with a smile: "The previous high priest passed away half a year ago, and she passed on the position of high priest to me. From now on, I will take over the position of the previous high priest, continue to serve Nuwa Niangniang, and continue to solve problems for the people. ”
Chen Jingle hesitated slightly: "Since this is the case, then Poor Dao wants to consult some things, and it is inconvenient to know the way?"
The girl high priest nodded: "I already know the guest's problem." Huaguo Mountain did exist, and there were also relevant records in the ancient books of the temple. It's just that thousands of years are enough to change a lot of things. For some reason, today's Huaguo Mountain has actually existed in name only. ”
"In name only?" Chen Jingle looked in a trance.
The high priestess of the girl glanced at Chen Jingle: "Come with me." ”
After saying that, he walked out of the temple.
Chen Jingle hurriedly followed.
Being able to serve as the high priest of the temple of the Aolai Kingdom shows that the girl must be extraordinary.
Chen Jingle found that he couldn't see through the other party's strength, but the other party's strength was not the kind that was many realms higher than his own. Suddenly, my heart sank.
The two of them exerted their power beyond the world, and soon came to a desolate hillside outside the country of Aolai.
"This is Huaguo Mountain. The girl paused, turned her head and said to Chen Jingle.
Chen Jingle looked at the barrenness in front of him and was stunned.
Over here...... Is it Huaguo Mountain?
