389 Good intentions
The so-called blood-colored vines, with the word "vine" in their names, are not actually vines that need to be wrapped around shelves, pillars, etc. to climb up, but two conjoined conjoined trees in the shape of babies.
The plant in front of me was no more than the height of an adult's thigh, and the two plants were tightly intertwined in a pot, and the whole body of this plant was blood-red, even the branches were red, especially the leaves, as if they were carved out of the finest rubies, the pieces were exquisite, and in the sunlight, it seemed that even the veins on the top could be clearly seen.
This is like a masterpiece of art, which makes people can't help but hold their breath at a glance, and be amazed by the peerless appearance of this plant.
And this is indeed a real plant, not a bonsai carved by craftsmen.
It is conceivable that when Qin Chenghei presented such a pot of treasures that only existed in the legendary witch clan in southern Xinjiang and was regarded as a sacred relic by people who believed in witchcraft, and presented it to the queen mother, the shock in the hearts of the noble kings and grandsons who learned the value of this thing, including the queen mother and the Hongyuan emperor, would be great.
Emperor Hongyuan's shrewd eyes were still a little surprised, but the look on the Queen Mother's face was a little intriguing.
When the curtain on the blood-colored vines was lifted, the Queen Mother's eyes narrowed reflexively, and then she heard the words "blood-colored vines", and saw the appearance of the things in front of her.
Chi Linglong didn't pay attention to the abnormality of the Queen Mother, it can be said that almost everyone's attention now is not on the Queen Mother, but on Zhu Yinli, the eldest grandson of Zhennan General Zhu Huaidan, who just came back from southern Xinjiang and recognized the "blood-colored vine" at first sight, or on the beautiful blood-colored vine that people can't take their eyes off.
In the urging and curiosity of everyone, Zhu Yinli, a major general who was born and grew up in southern Xinjiang and was the first time to enter Beijing, said: "The blood-colored vine is a sacred relic of the witch clan in southern Xinjiang and has been believed by generations. It is rumored that this thing first grew on the tomb where a generation of great witches were buried, and after that, every witch of the witch clan sat down with great virtue and power, and within a month, on its grave, there will be blood-colored vines. β
"The people of the Wu tribe say that the blood-colored vine is the embodiment of the powerful man of the Wu tribe who is seated; Its red color is the color of the flag that symbolizes the Wu clan, and its twin plants are born to symbolize the coexistence of the great witch and the Li people, and the symbiosis between the Wu clan and the believers from generation to generation. β
"Because of the high status of the Wu clan in southern Xinjiang, and most of the people in southern Xinjiang believe in witches, the blood-colored vine has become a holy object and even a mascot in southern Xinjiang. Some people often go to the witch house where the blood-colored vine is enshrined to pray for blessings, most of them can protect their health, dare not be riddled with evil diseases, and can also ensure the harmony of their homes and everything goes smoothly; Not to mention whether these rumors are true or not, but this blood-colored vine is an extremely rare medicinal tree because of the special environment in which it grows. β
"In the early years, I heard my grandfather say that when Master Xuankong was still alive, he traveled to southern Xinjiang and talked about medicine with the great witch of the Wu clan, and then got the consent of the great witch, and personally contacted the blood-colored vine dill at that time, and said that the blood-colored vine dill is a treasure in the world, and this thing is a treasure all over the body, and the rhizomes and leaves can be used as medicine. Not only that, but just a few sips a day, the breath emitted from the blood-colored vine can make people feel comfortable, eliminate all diseases, and have the effect of rejuvenating and prolonging life, which is really a rare thing in the world. β
Zhu Yinli said these words unhurriedly, with a calm expression on his face, but, to be honest, his excited fingers were trembling at the moment.
Although his ancestors are also from Kyoto, because Zhu Yinli was "born and raised" in southern Xinjiang, he, like all the people in southern Xinjiang, is also a loyal believer in witchcraft, and maintains the same awe for the holy object of blood-colored vine as if he admired the gods.
And the status of the blood-colored vine in southern Xinjiang is indeed as he just said, it is simply a holy relic in southern Xinjiang.
With his status as the "little prince" in southern Xinjiang, at most, he can only get a blood-colored vine leaf from the Great Witch as an offering, but no matter how much, he can't.
But King Qin actually had such a great ability, and he actually transported a blood-colored vine from southern Xinjiang to the Queen Mother as a gift for the Thousand Autumn Festival.
Let's not talk about the precious Cheng dΓΉ of this congratulatory gift, which made him can't help but vomit blood, just talk about the precious Cheng dΓΉ in southern Xinjiang with the blood-colored vine, and the Wu clan's strict defense of this holy relic, how did Qin Chengji steal this thing from the Wu clan? Isn't he afraid that because of his action, he will provoke a riot that will kill the entire southern Xinjiang?
However, if it was said that the blood-colored vine was stolen by Qin Chenghe, it seemed unlikely, after all, if the Wu Clan's holy relics were stolen, he would definitely get the news.
So, isn't this blood-colored vine really the one enshrined in the witch's house? Where did that come from? Can he trade it for Wangwangjin?
Zhu Yinli only swallowed saliva at the blood-colored vine di, uh, listened to Zhu Yinli's popular science scene, many courtiers and nobles, princes and grandchildren, when they heard the value and efficacy of this blood-colored vine di, especially when they heard the words "Xuankong Master confirmed" and "rejuvenation", they were all excited.
If it weren't for their own self-control, which restrained them from making gaffes, these people would really want to step forward and touch the blood-colored vine, or ...... Just move this thing back to your own house and offer it.
The holy relics of southern Xinjiang can prolong life and rejuvenate their youth...... There was a sudden sound of gasping and swallowing at the scene.
After Zhu Yinli finished speaking, it took a while for everyone on the scene to come back to their senses.
Emperor Hongyuan looked at the courtiers with different expressions, his brows loosened, and he asked Qin Chenghei: "What General Zhu said is true?" β
In fact, the truth of what Zhu Yinli said just now was known in the hearts of many courtiers present.
The minister who can enter the palace to participate in the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Festival, who is not well-read in the world?
Although this is the first time they have seen such a thing, in some miscellaneous records and ancient books that record the customs and culture of various places, they also have some understanding of the Wu clan in southern Xinjiang and the holy relic of the Wu clan, the blood-colored vine.
Therefore, even if Zhu Yinli didn't take the lead in saying that the blood-red plant in front of them was a blood-colored vine, they could guess it.
For example, when the curtain was lifted, the king of Huijun and Wu Taifu and others made a decision in their hearts, they were like this, how could Emperor Hongyuan, the king of a country, not know the situation in the territory he governed, the place in the southern Xinjiang.
This question is just to open up the conversation so that the conversation can continue.
Qin Chengsi nodded indifferently, and sure enough, Emperor Hongyuan asked a crucial question, "Where did Ling Ze get this thing from?" β
Qin Chengsi returned with a clear voice, "At the junction of Minzhou and Longxi." β
The southeast of Minzhou is southern Xinjiang, and the northwest of Minzhou is Longxi, so it can be said that Minzhou is a state capital separating southern Xinjiang and Longxi.
Therefore, the subconscious meaning of this holy relic obtained at the junction of Minzhou and Longxi is already very clear, eighty percent of this thing was smuggled out of southern Xinjiang; It's a pity that the smuggler didn't have a good life, and it took a lot of effort to get this thing, but as soon as he entered the territory of Longxi, he was caught by King Qin's people, but it was really ...... It makes people laugh and cry.
Emperor Hongyuan nodded when he heard this, and his face showed a happy look that he couldn't see his true feelings.
No matter what Emperor Hongyuan thought, everyone present couldn't help but think that no matter whether this thing was snatched from the smugglers or snatched from it, as long as it was not stolen from the Southern Xinjiang Witch Courtyard by King Qin on his own initiative, nothing would happen.
Not only that, if he can use this holy relic to befriend the Southern Xinjiang Wu Clan, and let the Southern Xinjiang Wu Clan serve the court from now on, King Qin can be regarded as another great achievement.
Even if he didn't return this thing to southern Xinjiang in the end, entered the palace of the queen mother, and was able to ensure the health of the queen mother, King Qin could be regarded as filial piety.
The courtiers had a lot of thoughts, but at this moment, they couldn't help but feel that King Qin had worked hard for the queen mother's birthday.
No matter what the courtiers thought, but the Queen Mother, who came back to her senses, couldn't help but have mist in her old eyes at this moment, and she said to Qin Chenghei: "Good boy, you have a heart." The tone of his voice trembled uncontrollably.
Qin Chengsi excused himself, and said: "It is rumored that this thing has the effect of nourishing the mind and soothing the body, and the queen mother's body is important, and this thing can be loved by the queen mother, and the minister's wish is also." β
The Queen Mother even said a few words, "Good, good, good", and then, she personally instructed Mama Tan to lead people to move this blood-colored vine back to her bedroom in Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother treated this thing so cautiously, and everyone at the scene couldn't help but start muttering in their hearts that King Qin would do things again.
However, Chi Linglong looked at the trembling body of the Queen Mother, but always felt that the birthday gift given by Qin Chengsi today was not only offered as a holy relic in southern Xinjiang, but it was impossible for the Queen Mother to be so excited and difficult to suppress because of the rumored effect of "rejuvenating and prolonging life".
Chi Linglong thought about it, and still felt that there must be something greasy in this.
It's natural to be tired, but it's a pity......
Qin Chengsi looked at his wife who was frowning beside him, and had the heart to tell her the truth, his lips moved slightly, and he still dispelled the idea of pouring out in his heart.
The blood-colored vine was indeed discovered by the retainers of the Qin Wangfu at the junction of Minzhou and Longxi, but it was not this year, but five years ago.
Since this plant reached his hands, it has been kept at the junction of Minzhou and southern Xinjiang, and it is unaware; And because this thing grew suddenly, very few people knew about it, and even the great witches of southern Xinjiang didn't know that this thing existed, so they naturally avoided disputes.
Originally, he had been keeping this thing, but it was just to prevent the turmoil in southern Xinjiang that could occur at any time, and he wanted to befriend the great witch of southern Xinjiang so that his actions in southern Xinjiang would be smoother.
This time, he decided to give this thing to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift, but because when he was a child, he had heard gossip from his grandmother and his confidant - when the Queen Mother was not married, he had a heart for Zhu Huaidan, the general of Zhennan.
The two also taught each other privately, and what Zhu Huaidan gave to the Queen Mother was a page of blood-colored vine leaves.
The queen mother was helpless when she entered the palace, and after decades of staying, after staying in Cining Palace and becoming the queen mother, she still kept in touch with Zhu Huaidan, which should be unfinished.
He used a whole blood-colored vine to let the Queen Mother recall the past, spring. Emotions surged, thinking that even if she was dissatisfied with his princess again, during this period of time, for the sake of the face of this blood-colored vine, she should not give him a lesson to the people around him.
