There is a majestic mountain in Tiandu City, and the foot of the mountain is heavily guarded, and the common people cannot enter it on weekdays. If the common people want to go to the mountains to hunt for prey or collect firewood, they can only go to the mountains outside the city.

The reason is very simple, this mountain is buried with the witch kings of the Western Shu dynasties, and it is the existence of gods in the hearts of the people of Western Shu. Therefore, the common people are also very conscious and never dare to trespass.

"How did you bring me here? What did you show the guards at the foot of the mountain? Shangguan Sinan asked curiously.

The Great Elder pointed to the cemetery next to him and said, "My parents are buried here. ”

Shangguan Sinan asked in shock, "What?" As far as I know, most of the people buried here are the witch kings of the past generations, their wives and concubines, and their children. So, who the hell are you? ”

The Great Elder showed his waist card and said, "I am the son of the previous Witch King and the Holy Maiden, and I am the son of my father's concubine." So he's not really a witch king. ”

Shangguan Si Nan said puzzledly: "I remember that the master brought you back when he went out on a trip that year, and said that you were an orphan, let me take good care of you." Doesn't Master know your identity? ”

The Great Elder smiled and said, "Dean Ouyang said this to protect me. When Dean Ouyang traveled through our Xishu, it was when his father's concubine Tao Ji instigated her father to make her son ruthlessly the Holy Son.

The dean may not know much about our Xishu, in fact, the true holy son of our Xishu must be the son of the witch king and the holy woman, otherwise he will not be able to enter the secret realm of the witch clan to cultivate.

At that time, my father was fascinated by Momohime, and Momohime's mother's family was powerful, and although my mother was a saint, she came from an ordinary family. Therefore, the father was always wavering. When my mother knew my father's thoughts, she was always depressed, but she really couldn't give me more than the title of saint. My mother is even more afraid that even if I sit in the position of the witch king in the future, without the support of all forces, I will only be driven down. It will be a joke for everyone then.

That day, my father learned that Dean Ouyang had come to Tiandu, and specially invited him to the palace to hold a banquet. At the end of the banquet, my mother secretly went to Dean Ouyang while my father went to the peach garden. My mother told me about her situation, begged the dean to take me away, and only begged me to grow up safely and not to return to Xishu.

The dean took pity on me and took me away. ”

Of course, Shangguan Sinan, who was born in a big family, also knew the struggle among the wealthy nobles, and sighed at the situation of the great elder in his heart, if the witch king was replaced by the great elder, then Xishu would have been a prosperous scene long ago. And since he ruthlessly became the witch queen, he wanted to dominate Xishu and establish himself as the king, and he didn't care about the suffering of the people at all.

"Didn't your father come to you when he found out? Has your mother been punished for this? It should be said that it is more important to be able to enter the secret realm of the Wu Clan to cultivate, right? I've read from ancient books that the Witch Secret Realm is the most mysterious place in Kyushu, and no one knows what's inside, because no one can enter it except the Witch King. ”

Shangguan Sinan asked suspiciously.

The Great Elder sighed and said, "Of course my father came to look for me, but Dean Ouyang didn't let him see me, and I don't know what Dean Ouyang said to my father. Anyway, after my father returned, in order to make Ruthless a righteous son, he passed him on to my mother. My mother is a very peaceful person, since I left, she has devoted herself to practicing Buddhism, not asking about the world, coupled with the status of a saint, although Momohime is very jealous of my mother, but there is nothing to be done. ”

Shangguan Si Nan thought for a while and asked, "That exquisite Niang Ula Muling approached you because of your identity?" ”

The Great Elder nodded and said, "I didn't know at that time, and I didn't start investigating her until she left me and Linglong to return to Xishu. But it's too late to regret it. ”

Shangguan Sinan asked in surprise, "Could it be that she was sent ruthlessly?" ”

The Great Elder nodded and said, "Because Ruthless is not the true Witch King and the Son of the Holy Maiden, he cannot enter the secret realm, nor can he give birth to the true Holy Son. So I sent the holy woman Ula Mu Ling at that time, and he wanted Ula Mu Ling and me to give birth to a son, and let Ula Mu Ling bring it back to Xishu. With a true Holy Son, Ruthless will be able to secure the position of this witch king.

It's just that she ruthlessly calculated a big circle, but she didn't count that Ulamuring was an ambitious woman, she was not willing to be a woman in the back house at all, and she didn't want to be at the mercy of others. For me, the elder of Lingshan Academy, he is even more uncut.

The reason why she promised to be ruthless was just to ruthlessly promise her to support the Ula tribe with all her might, and when the status of the Ula tribe came up, the Ula Muling rushed back to Xishu and killed the then Ula patriarch, and became the patriarch of the Ula tribe himself. ”

Shangguan Si Nan patted the Great Elder on the shoulder and said, "Alas, I didn't expect so many things to happen to you. Actually, you could have told me that maybe I could have helped you. ”

The Great Elder shook his head and said, "The power of Xishu is very complicated, so to become the Witch King of Xishu, you must have an extraordinary heart. The holy daughter of Xishu is the great wizard of the Wu clan, using the blood of the Holy Son as a guide, plus the Sifang soil of Xishu and the water of the west. On the night of the full moon, the Great Wizard can find out where the real Holy Maiden is.

Therefore, the Holy Son is always at the center of power, and the Holy Maiden may come from a large family or an ordinary family. For a saint like my mother, my father had to continue to marry women from other great families to strengthen his position, which also reversed the position of the witch king. As a result, for so many years, the great wizard has not been guided by the blood of the Holy Son, and he has never been able to find the true Holy Maiden. had to be led by the nose by other clans.

I think this natural disaster is the punishment of our Wu clan, greedy for power, not following the rules left by our ancestors, and will be punished in the end. ”

Shangguan Sinan sighed helplessly and asked, "Then what should you do now?" Ruthless can never continue to be a witch king, but the witch king is sacred to the people of Xishu, and Xishu must have such a witch king, otherwise there will be resistance to the court. Everyone will think that it is the arrival of Murong Chenhe that has made Xishu no longer have a witch king.

I guess your father came to Master because he didn't get the answer he wanted, so he didn't let you go back with your father. So I think you should stay in Xishu and give everyone the truth. Let your father see how wrong his choice was back then. ”

The Great Elder shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm in turmoil. I wish Xishu was better, but you also know that I am not a person who likes power. The years I have spent at Lingshan Academy have been the happiest and most comfortable I have ever lived. ”

Shangguan Sinan sighed and said, "Don't worry, Ruthless won't be so willing to be arrested, you can think about it during this time." In fact, in the end, you will find that although it is very passive to be pushed by fate, it is also the best choice, because you have no choice since you were born. It's just that a woman like Ulamuring would become a saint, which is beyond my expectations. ”

The Great Elder smiled and said, "If you see that the child she gave birth to me is not a son, you can see that she is not a saint at all, after the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter get married, they will definitely give birth to a new Holy Son, and when the Holy Son becomes an adult, the Great Wizard will use his blood as a guide to find a new Holy Maiden." I was not an adult when Dean Ouyang took me away, so the Great Wizard would not be able to find a new saint at all. I'm afraid that this is another trick by the woman of Ula Muling. ”

Si Nan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I see." ”

On the other side, after Murong Chenhe and the other officials Si Nan and the Great Elder left, they took the army and escorted the Wu King directly to the Xijun Palace.

"Bold! Who are you! Dare to trespass into the Xijun Palace! ”

The guard standing at the door shouted.

Murong Chenhe snorted coldly, and with a wave of his big palm, he knocked several guards at the door to the ground.

"Lao Huang, you hand over the Witch King to Wen Yi and Wu Yi, and then take people in and arrest all the patrols and guards of the Xijun Palace! If you resist, you will be killed! ”

Murong Chenhe shouted in a deep voice.

Lao Huang stepped forward and responded: "Yes, my subordinates will go." ”

The soldiers who had been on the road for a few days and hadn't started to do it couldn't wait for a long time, and when Lao Huang finished speaking, they rushed into the palace.

"General, what about me and Wu Yi? Are we only looking at the Witch King? ”

Wen Yi asked anxiously.

Murong Chenhe scolded lightly: "What's the hurry." I'll go to see the prince of Xijun, and the people at the door will be handed over to the two of you. After it is cleaned up, it is guarded outside, and no one is allowed to come in. ”

"Yes. Subordinates obeyed. ”

Wen Yi and Wu Yi responded in unison.

Soon, Murong Chenhe came to the courtyard where the prince of Xijun lived.

"I'll leave these people over to the two of you, and clean them up for me before I come out."

With that, Murong Chenhe knocked out a few eyesores and strode into the house.

"Chenhe, you're here. We have heard about the gates, and we are worried about you. ”

Princess Xijun greeted her and said.

Murong Chenhe smiled and comforted: "The thrill is a little more thrilling, but fortunately, the Witch King was caught in the end." And you see I wasn't hurt. I'm having someone deal with the minions of the Witch King in the palace right now. Soon, the palace will return to normal again, and the imperial uncle will be able to recuperate with peace of mind. ”

"Ahem, is Chenhe here?" At this time, the voice of the prince of Xijun came from behind the screen.

Murong Chenhe hurriedly walked in and said, "Hasn't Uncle Huang rested yet?" I was going to say a few words to Aunt Huang and come back to see Uncle Huang tomorrow. I didn't expect Uncle Huang to sleep yet. ”

Princess Xijun stepped forward quickly, helped the prince of Xijun up, and took a pillow and put it behind him.

"I'm just closing my door and trying to wait for your news before I sleep. I didn't expect you to come over so soon. ”

The prince of Xijun said with a smile, although the lawsuit Si Nan temporarily alleviated his condition, but he still had no spirit to speak, his pale face, sunken eyes, bulging cheekbones and skinny hands were all silently telling how painful the body had suffered.

Murong Chenhe was afraid that the prince of Xijun would keep looking up and see that he was too tired, so he sat on the edge of the bed and said:

"Uncle Huang is worried, everything is going well. The only thing I'm worried about now is that someone will be unwilling and come to save the witch king. Can the emperor have a suitable place to imprison the witch king? ”

The prince of Xijun squinted his eyes and said, "I have been fighting with the Witch King for so many years, and I have been prepared. Now the only place in Xishu that can close the Witch King is our Xijun Palace, and other places are easy to be exploited. I set up a dungeon specifically for the Witch King in the palace, and various mechanisms were set up from the entrance to the inside, and in addition, there were prohibitions on the walls of the dungeon to suppress the Witch King from casting spells.

I won't hide it from you, in fact, the setting of these dungeons was given to me by the emperor before I came to Xishu. The emperor said that this was given to him by Dean Ouyang Kun, and asked him not to use it until he had to, I guess Dean Ouyang Kun had already calculated that there would be such a day. ”
