Chapter 42: The Eye of Hokuriku
Ye Yao ordered people to follow the ancient rituals, the Wancheng was rearranged to search, when the moon was in the middle of the moon, a full moon hung in the sky, but there was a sudden golden light shining in the south of Wancheng, Ye Yao took people to look for it, and actually dug up an ancient tomb in Linpei Mountain directly according to the light, and dug up the tomb to open the coffin, but there were no bones in the obsidian sarcophagus, only a jade seal, which emitted a faint light against the cold moon, as if it was absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.
After a closer look, this is the first and only heirloom jade seal of the Great Unification Dynasty in Beilu thousands of years ago.
Ye Yao looked at the inconspicuous ancient tomb and carefully looked at the jade seal that reflected the cold moon, could it be that the blood of ten thousand people awakened the legendary Eye of the North Continent?
That night, Ye Xingcan touched this thousand-year-old ancient stone inch by inch, and felt that thousands of troops and horses were still galloping in his ears, and the whole person was distracted, swaying and falling, as if he was about to fall into a dream. Ye Yao was shocked, grabbed her, and inadvertently, folded his hands, and actually saw the ancient battlefield thousands of years ago.
The flag fluttered, fierce as fire, thousands of horses neighed, galloping like thunder...... The two of them fell to the ground, Ye Xingcan threw the jade seal in a panic, and it was easy to break it in half, the golden light in the stone shone, and it was divided into two rays of light in an instant, constantly winding around the two, and in an instant, the agate bracelet on her left wrist was red and haloed, as if to stop the golden light, but she was finally defeated.
Ye Yao only felt a tingling pain in his heart, and all kinds of pride poured out of his chest, and then looked in his arms, Ah Can had already fainted, so he carefully picked her up and returned to the bed, and summoned Qiao Yizheng. Only then did I have time to look at the jade seal that was broken in half.
It was actually split from the middle, as if it should have been two pieces, and then look at the crack, the left side is painted with Gou Chen, raising its hooves, and the right side is a snake, swaying in the fog.
For some reason, Ye Yao remembered that paragraph in his mind again, "In the middle, the soil of Wuji, the soil of yang, and the snake of yin." ”
Suddenly felt a stinging pain in his left hand, and looked, the silhouette of the ancient beast Gou Chen loomed between the tiger's mouth in his left hand, and finally dissipated, so he hurriedly got up, rushed to the side of Ah Can's bed in a few steps, and held her right hand, only to see a Teng snake disappearing, the snake tail was light and agile, and it was fleeting.
Rao is Ye Yao couldn't help trembling, he got up and sat down again, his eyes couldn't help changing, but he still couldn't understand what the consequences of the mark on his hand was, and finally remembered that there was another person in the world, and he was afraid that he would know better, so he passed a letter to Luo Yuan, and Chu Yan described today's situation in detail, just waiting for him to answer his questions.
By the time Ye Xingcan woke up, it had been two days later, and his body seemed to be a little colder, even if he snuggled up to Ye Yao's side, he couldn't help but shiver.
Ye Yao saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, so he ordered Xue Qi to quickly deal with the aftermath of Wancheng, and ordered someone to pack up and leave Wancheng quickly.
When the group left the inn, the quiet street in the past, there were already small merchants and hawkers selling along the street, and there were children running back and forth, late autumn had arrived, they were clumsy and bloated, but their eyes were bright, their smiles were bright, simple and joyful.
Ye Xingcan was also happy when he looked at it, and he felt that such a trivial matter was warm. I only hope that people in the world are free of diseases, so why worry about the medicine and dust on the shelf.
Outside the city, after receiving the latest order from the imperial court, the Iron Eagle Army had withdrawn the army besieging Wancheng, and the group left the city in a mighty way.
Although it was to solve the epidemic in Wancheng, Ye Xingcan always felt that he had fallen into a bigger mystery, he couldn't solve it, and he couldn't figure it out.
Dozens of miles out of Wancheng, Ye Yao has been hiding in the carriage, using internal strength to help her warm up, Ye Xingcan gradually felt that the cold blood vessels were like a warm sun, and a trace of ice began to unseal, and finally came back to life. When his spirit was better, he began to chirp again, dissatisfied with Ye Yao's face after his disguise, and pulled it behind his ear when he was fine.
Ye Yao was also helpless, thinking that her body was finally getting better, so she let her mess around, and no longer wore the "human skin" mask every day, or hid in the carriage, or hidden in the last snow ride.
Ye Xingcan didn't want to see him all the time, so he made a fuss about letting him look like Huo Yue, so that he could always be by his side.
Ye Yao also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Ah Can, how can there be such a superb disguise technique, you can only adjust it according to your own facial contours, and give birth to an ordinary stranger, it is already a shadow stunt, completely disguised into another person, it is too difficult, just your eyes can't fool people close to you, not to mention that there are too many people around who are familiar with Huo Yue, it is really easy to goof." ”
Ye Xingcan had no choice but to give up this idea, with a bitter little face, for a while, suddenly the urn sounded and said angrily, "Go to his Yongning King must not leave the fiefdom, one day, we will walk together in the land of Dayong!" ”
Ye Yao smiled, took her in his arms, patted her gently, and said softly, "Soon, believe me." ”
The people near Xinze Town learned that the eldest princess, who had saved tens of thousands of people in Wancheng, had returned, and they had already gathered in Zexin Town, waiting to kneel and thank the princess for her grace.
The royal guards whipped the road, the car shook slightly, and the onlookers on the side of the road avoided one after another, and the voices of people were noisy. Even if they knew that the guard of honor was strict and they couldn't see the princess's face no matter how close they were, people still scrambled to see the elegance, even if they only glanced at the shadow of the frame, they were grateful.
Liu Qingrang saw that the people of Xinze Town were gathered on the street, and they were bustling to the entrance of the town, saying that they were going to welcome the eldest princess's convoy and Duanxue Tieqi, only then did they know that Ah Can was coming back, and he was really happy, with the old man who had already recovered, as well as Juan'er and Xiao Yuanbao, the four of them stood in a row at the entrance of the town, which was cute.
When the carriage stopped, Liu Qing let him rush through the crowd and rushed up as soon as possible, just wanting to see how good Ah Can was. I didn't want Ah Can to just lift the curtain of the car and tell them to go back to the inn first and not stand outside. I didn't see the carriage and talk to myself, I felt uncomfortable, but I saw that her face was pale, and she seemed to have lost a little weight, so she obediently retreated.
Ye Xingcan looked at the energetic old man and the two lively children, and was also happy, and turned around to tell Ye Yao about the scene when he first met them, but he saw that he had a black face and was silent.
Ye Yao heard that Liu Qingrang was chirping outside the carriage, Ah Can, Ah Can, and his heart was not good. looked at her at a daze, unaware, even more angry, and felt that jealousy was really not like what a husband did, so it was hard to say, so she could only swallow it like a dumb loss, and sat in the corner of the car alone.
Ye Xingcan wanted to lean over and coax Ye Yao, but he didn't want the people outside the car to shout, Princess Bodhisattva Chitose...... Open the curtain, the small Zexin Town has already been overcrowded, the people rubbed shoulders, saw her open the curtain, and shouted excitedly, instantly kneeling on the ground, such as leaving Wancheng, kneeling a city of crying and thankful people, sincerely.
Ye Xingcan only felt that the people were simple, saving people and saving the city was a matter within the court's responsibility, and he was the princess of the dynasty, so he naturally had this responsibility, and he didn't want to be so grateful to Dade, goodbye Duanxue Tie rode into the city, and shouted in his ear, "King Yongning Chitose...... Snow riding a thousand years old ......", the sound was endless, and even the sulking Ye Yao was stunned, he never thought that Ah Can had brought such a huge reputation to himself and the Yongning Palace this time, and when the rescue of Wancheng spread all over Dayong, who would not praise the eldest princess, and who would not praise the Yongning Palace.
The group finally returned to the inn, and the royal guards and snow riders also went out of the city again to hide their traces.
Liu Qingrang watched the people support Ah Can so much, and couldn't help but think of the judgment of his predecessors, "Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat", and now this water is pouring into Yongning Palace, I don't know why, I am faintly worried about Huizong in my heart.
Looking at the group again, I felt very strange, the lawless Zhou Tan actually restrained his temperament, and Wang Shaoyuan, who didn't talk much, had a dark face, as if he was preoccupied, and the more silent he became. Many times, he didn't go into the city to be with everyone, and he simply stayed outside the city with the Royal Forest Guard, always feeling that he was hiding from everyone.
Ah Can, however, is even thinner, pale, always alone in the house or in the carriage, rarely messing with himself anymore, and even the picture books that have always been interested in him no longer listen to them, and ...... He always felt a murderous aura lingering around him, especially when he was on Ah Can's table during the daily meal.
For example, on this day, when I finally entered the city to rest, everyone got together as before, and before I sat down, I was carried by Zhou Tan, and Ah Can didn't stop her, Lingxiang also went back to the house with food, and Huo Yue didn't go with her.
It's not that I'm afraid of infection, why do I have to eat it alone, Liu Qing is puzzled, especially so many dishes, where can I finish eating.
Of course, there are good things, as the group got closer and closer to Yongning, Ah Can's face finally improved, and his eyes shone a little. Bright as the bright moon, it scorched into the heart of Zhuang Yuanlang.
It's just that sometimes I think of taking care of the old man and Juan'er and Yuanbao who were separated in Zexin Town for many days, and I miss it strangely, but fortunately, these three people have returned to Wancheng, and I will have the opportunity to see it again in the future, after all, I promised to enlighten Yuanbao and teach him to read and write.
In the past few days, Ye Xingcan's body has slowly recovered, and there is an ice lotus medicine, and there is no longer a need for Ye Yao to spend internal strength to warm her up every day, but he is often not seen during the day. Fortunately, at night, Ye Yao would always return to her, coax her to sleep, and then leave.
Staying in Yunyang this day and night, Ye Xingcan returned to the house early, washed properly, and waited for Ye Yao with his feet dangling. But she didn't see anyone left and right, thinking that because of the daytime, she and Liu Qingrang talked a few more words, and they were jealous again......
Thinking of his brother's kindness to him, he felt that his vinegar was like a drop of dew, slowly flowing over his heart, giving birth to a trace of softness, and he was distressed. Hurriedly called Huo Yue and asked him to go out to search.
Huo Yue thought that the prince was not by the princess's side, he must be hidden in the snow ride, and the goal was also clear, so he walked a few miles, and when he went out of the city to find the place where the snow rider landed, he found that the prince was nowhere to be found.
Huo Yue knew that the prince's exit from the fief this time must not only be for the princess's body, but also for important matters, and his whereabouts have been erratic recently, and he rushed back late at night. guessed that this time the prince should have something important to do, or an important person to see, so he didn't return in time, but he had a headache and how to explain when he returned to the inn, so he simply stayed in the snow riding camp tent and grinded.
