38: Descendants of Nuwa
While speaking, the peacock picked up the glass bottle, uncorked it, leaned to the lips of the little boy of the Yan family, and said softly: "Childe, the holy water is here." Hurry up and drink it. ”
The little boy of the Yan family whispered, and with the support of the peacock, he struggled to get up, snuggled in the peacock's arms, and drank the water in the bottle in one gulp.
The holy water in the bottle entered his throat and faintly turned into a piece of blue ice gas, which dispersed into the limbs and hundreds of remains. The little boy of the Yan family, whose body was originally tense because of pain, also relaxed. Obviously, the high fever on the body has been reduced a lot.
But even so, the peacock did not ease down. She sat cross-legged behind the little boy of the Yan family, concentrating on her true qi. In an instant, there was a breath colder than ice and snow, and it emanated from her body. The practice is enough, and the peacock presses the upper Yan family's little son's vest with both hands to the acupoints, and the cold and ice true qi of this life-saving cultivation is continuously transported into the little boy's body.
There is strange cold holy water inside, and there is cold ice true qi outside. Internal and external attack, two-pronged. But it still tossed for more than half an hour, and the complexion on the little son of the Yan family finally returned to normal.
The peacock breathed a long sigh of relief and gathered his strength. Maybe it's because of too much waste, and for a while, there is still an irrepressible exhaustion between the eyebrows. At the same time, the little son of the Yan family also woke up from his previous semi-comatose state. whispered: "Kong ...... Peacock: Is that you?"
Peacock said softly: "Childe, it's me." Peacocks will always be by your side, please rest assured. ”
The little son of the Yan family let out a long sigh of relief, slowly closed his eyes, and was about to fall asleep again. But suddenly, as if he had woken up to something, his eyes widened again, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Engong, are you Cheng Engong, why are you here?"
Cheng Li nodded and said, "It's me." I heard you were sick, so I came to visit you. ”
The little son of the Yan family said happily: "Thank you Cheng Engong for your concern." Actually, it's nothing, it's all ** sick. ”
Cheng Li glanced at the peacock and asked, "Young Master Yan, have you been sick for a long time?"
The little boy of the Yan family said with a sad face: "I don't know." As soon as this disease attacked, I had a fever all over my body, and I was so uncomfortable that I was terrible. So I don't know how long it has been. ”
The peacock sighed: "For the sake of the little boy's disease, the head of the family doesn't know how many doctors he has found and how many panaceas he has found, but in the end it is to no avail." Only the internal skill I cultivated, 'Cold Light Snow Clothes', can relieve the pain of the little boy a little, but it is also a symptom but not a cure.
Until half a year ago, the leader of the Yongzhou Pai Sect sent this holy water, claiming that it could cure the illness of the little boy. After the little boy drank the holy water, the situation did improve. But after a while, the Sect Master stopped sending holy water. And said that unless the Chenzhou Yanjia is willing to surrender to the Yongzhou Pai Sect, otherwise, they will no longer be delusional to get the holy water. The head of the family really had no choice, so he had to decide to send the little son to Yongzhou. ”
Cheng Li bowed his head slightly and said, "I understand." But what kind of patron deity do you believe in? What kind of gift do you really think that pool of water is? I've heard of it. Paijiao has never had this belief in a patron saint, and it is only now that the head of the sect is in power, it has begun to promote this belief. ”
Peacock said with a smile: "Engong, you may have misunderstood. The patron saint is Nuwa Niangniang. For Nuwa Niangniang's belief, we Miao barbarians have never broken it for thousands of years. Yongzhou, Chenzhou, Xiangxi, Miaojiang...... There have always been many people who believe in Nuwa Niangniang. Now, the sect leader is just re-worshipping Nuwa Niangniang as the patron saint of the sect, which is nothing. ”
Cheng Li frowned and said, "Peacock girl, are you sure that the patron saint of the Pai Sect is really Nuwa Niangniang?" But the murals in the underground palace and the legend of Nuwa Niangniang seem to be too far away, right?"
The peacock blinked his eyes and said in confusion: "The legend of Nuwa Niangniang? I don't know much about the legend of your Han people in the Central Plains." However, in the legend of our Miao barbarians, it was Nuwa Niangniang who descended from the sky and gave wisdom to mankind. Then, together with humans, he destroyed the demon gods who caused disaster in the world. In the end, he married the most outstanding warrior among the human race. That's it.
By the way, in the legend, the place where Nuwa Niangniang fell from the sky was in Yongzhou. Therefore, the descendants built a palace at the place where Nuwa Niangniang came to commemorate it.
However, the palace was later destroyed in the war, and only the underground palace remained. It wasn't until the sect leader rebuilt the main hall and excavated the underground palace that he learned that there was such a thing. This is also the reason why the sect leader worships Nuwa Niangniang. As for the pool just now, it is said that it used to be the place where Nuwa Niangniang bathed, and the water of the pond was contaminated with Nuwa Niangniang's divine power, so it could cure diseases. ”
Cheng Li muttered: "Is the legend of Nuwa Niangniang in Miaojiang actually like this? So, does the myth say that the human warrior who married Nuwa Niangniang ended up with what happened?"
Without thinking, Peacock replied: "Of course, I live with Nuwa Niangniang and become a happy couple who live forever." Could there be another ending?"
Cheng Li's doubts were even more prevalent. Then he asked, "So, what about Nuwa Niangniang and the descendants of this human warrior?"
Peacock said: "Legend has it that the heirs of Nuwa Niangniang have been passed down from generation to generation in the world, and each generation is a woman. We Miao barbarians, call them Nuwa descendants. However, I heard that the Han people in the Central Plains did not recognize Nuwa Niangniang and her descendants, so they all called them snake demons. This is just too much. Eun Gong, don't you say?"
Cheng Li said thoughtfully: "Nuwa's heir, is it called a snake demon...... I've never heard of that. After a pause, he asked, "Then Peacock girl, what are you going to do in the future?"
Peacock sighed: "We have already come to Yongzhou City, what else can we do? However, since the sect leader has sent holy water to heal Childe, it will not hurt us. Then it's good to see one step and take one step. ”
Cheng Li nodded and said, "Okay, I understand the situation." Since the little boy is okay for the time being, then I won't bother. Tell ...... here"
"Dangdangdang~~"
Before Cheng Li's words were finished, suddenly, a gong sound like a storm sounded, and it quickly spread in all directions. When the little boy of the Yan family heard the sound of the gong, he was startled, threw himself into the peacock's arms, and cried, "Peacock, peacock, what is that? I'm so scared." ”
The peacock hurriedly hugged the little son of the Yan family tightly, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The peacock is here, and the peacock will always be by the little boy's side. ”
The little boy of the Yan family was excited, and he couldn't help but feel hot again. was held in the arms of the peacock that was cold all over his body, and only then did he calm down a little. But he still kept shrinking and shivering.
The sound of the gong became louder and louder, and in a moment, it came from far and near, near the courtyard where everyone in the Yan family lived. Immediately afterwards, I heard someone knocking on the door outside, and shouted loudly: "Is the son of the Yan family here? ”
The peacock hugged the little boy and glanced at Cheng Li in embarrassment. Cheng Li waved his hand, "invisible" again, and said, "It's okay, you just go out to see them." ”
The peacock breathed a sigh of relief. Holding the little boy and pushing the door out. In the Yan family, all the children came to the front yard and ordered the gate to be opened.
When the gate opened, I saw dozens of platoon disciples, all of whom were unsheathed, looking like they were facing a great enemy. In his eyes, there was deep suspicion, even hostility. The leader is the left commander who is under one person and above 10,000 people-Niu Shili.
The peacock didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed slightly. said: "Childe and Peacock, I have seen Lord Zuo Shuai." I don't know what's going on with Zuo Shuai?"
Niu Shili snorted softly and shouted: "There are foreign spies who have infiltrated the main hall. ”
The peacock was taken aback and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, there are spies?"
Niu Shili's face was gloomy, his eyes were blazing, he stared at the peacock, and said slowly: "Is the peacock girl scared?"
Kong was determined, and said reluctantly: "Yes, let Zuo Shuai smile." I don't know who the spies are? How many are there?"
Niu Shili said in a condensed voice: "There are two spies. As for who it is, I don't know for the time being. They secretly infiltrated the main hall and had the audacity to eavesdrop on the sect leader and guests. The sect leader has great powers and found out that something was wrong, so he slapped the two spies. Unexpectedly, these two spies were also counted, and they were injured and escaped. ”
The peacock patted his chest, looked palpitating, and said, "So that's the case." So now, Zuo Shuai is ordered to arrest the spies?"
Niu Shili said in a deep voice: "Not bad. By the order of the Lord, the main hall was sealed off, and the whole church was under martial law. You must catch this spy until it is caught. Peacock girl, I'm sorry. Where the responsibilities are, we're going to go in and see. ”
How can a person not bow his head under the eaves? Although the peacock was full of reluctance, he finally sighed and said, "Okay." Zuo Shuai, please. ”
Niu Shili shouted: "Offended." He turned back to the people who came behind him and beckoned, "Come in, everyone." Without much to say at the moment, a swarm of bees broke into the courtyard. Everyone was unscrupulous, rummaging and checking everywhere, and they didn't put the four words "Chenzhou Yanjia" in their eyes. All the disciples of the Yan family were trembling with anger, but they dared not speak out. In the end, I could only reluctantly accept it.
After a while, the Pai Sect disciples had already turned all the rooms in the courtyard upside down, and naturally they didn't find anything. Niu Shili couldn't find anything to do, so he immediately said, "Peacock girl, I'm offended." Since the gap is not here, let's search elsewhere. However, for the sake of safety, it is best not to leave this compound until martial law is lifted. ”
The peacock's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said, "Can't you leave?" Then what if Childe's illness attacks again and he needs to take holy water for treatment?"
Niu Shili said coldly: "Then let's talk about it then." He didn't say much, said hello, turned around and left with someone. I only heard a loud sound of "bang~", and the gate of the courtyard was tightly closed from the outside. Then the latch was closed. There were more than a dozen platoon disciples, who stayed outside the door to stand guard. Looking at this posture, how can there be half of the appearance of treating the Yan family and everyone as VIPs? It is clear that they are treating prisoners.
