Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Fire of the West Field
Since that day, Asher has been seriously injured.
I blame myself, as the palace master, for letting this kind of thing happen to the Liuli Palace. As for Aoyama's death, in the end, it was also due to the revenge of the Gollummon, I checked the books about the Gollummon, there is a record of the Gollummon, the ancient books say that once the Gollummon is hurt, it will be avenged, presumably, Aoyama and the Gollummon that Hope met that day are not dead.
Also, when Asher was cultivating, she told me that the Gollum Beast is a relatively strange spirit animal, and when it encounters water, it will turn into a dragon and turn into a human form when it comes ashore, and it has no fixed appearance.
In this way, the footprints at the murder scene can also be explained, but it is unknown why the Gollum did not harm Hope.
In the end, I settled down the Buyue clan and chose a young man from them to be the soothsayer of the Liuli Palace, and the crazy prayer no longer has any divination ability. I told the other soothsayers to bring Hope back to the Divination safely, and apologized to his family on my behalf.
This time, the storm has finally been suppressed.
During my time at Asher, I visited him extensively and often brought him pastries. But he's been slow to recover, and I'm afraid he'll keep going like this. Asher always reassures me that he will definitely get better and wait for him to come back.
After a long time, the clouds of the Liuli Palace gradually dispersed.
On a normal day, a servant came to me in a panic.
"Did something happen?"
"Palace Master, not far from the outside of the Liuli Palace, I found a strange fire, which was coming in the direction of the Liuli Palace." The servant knelt on one knee and said profusely.
"Fire?"
"Yes, it's a fire."
I followed the servant out of the Liuli Palace, and sure enough, as he said, a flickering flame was moving quickly in my direction, I clenched my right hand, and raised my vigilance, although the matter of Qingshan has passed, but the shadow left behind makes me have to be on guard.
So when the flame was very close to me, I had conjured my sword, and suddenly it stopped, motionless, but it was soon extinguished, and suddenly an envelope appeared in its original place, and floated into my hand.
Back at the Liuli Palace, I told Asher about the flame and gave him the envelope. Asher pondered for a moment, frowning.
"Asher, where did this letter come from?"
"Xiu, this is a distress signal from the Xiye clan among the six clans."
"Nishino?" I was amazed that I had never heard my father say that before.
"Yes, I may not have told you before, the Xiye clan is in the northernmost part, and like the Buyue clan, it is also a subsidiary of the Liuli Palace."
"That's... Are they having any difficulties? I asked Asher.
"The boundary of the West Field, the terrain is steep and barren all the year round, there are no green mountains and green waters, only weeds, and it is the least populated ethnic group among the six ethnic groups. The fire you saw should have been sent by the patriarch of the Xiye clan, so look at the content of this letter. ”
I took the envelope from Asher's hand and opened it to look at it.
The palace master of the Liuli Palace personally revealed:
The Xiye patriarch Wa Liang presented, my Xiye clan, located in a barren area, although it is difficult, but the people have a good heart, and they are also very in awe of the glass palace, and now they are in trouble, Wa Liang asks the palace master to lend a hand and save the West Ye from danger.
Recently, in the realm of the West Field, there was a strange beast that specializes in eating human flesh, and many of my people in the West Field have been victimized, and Wa Liang has exhausted all his solutions, and he can't be subdued, so he implores the palace master to save me West Field.
"The letter said that a fierce beast appeared in the West Field, which made the people miserable, and asked the Liuli Palace to lend a hand." I looked at Asher and didn't know what decision I should make.
"The six clans have been safe and sound for nearly a hundred years, how could a fierce beast suddenly appear, besides, the Xiye patriarch Wa Liang is not an idle person, his spiritual power should be above the eighth level, what is the fierce beast that he can't subdue?"
"Asher thinks that Wa Liang is lying?"
"No, the fire of the West Field is the patriarch who was forced to use his own blood as a sacrifice to pray to the gods, so as to get the unquenchable fire, Wa Liang did not lie. It's just that something happened to the most barren Nishino, which was a little unexpected. ”
"How far is Nishino from here?"
"Does Shu want to go to Nishino in person?"
"Well, in Wa Liang's letter, there have been many Xiye people who have been victimized, I can't watch those lives die before they bloom, Xiye is an attachment to the Liuli Palace, and it is also appropriate to help them."
"But Xiye is extremely remote, and there are many difficulties along the way, I don't worry about you going, or I'll go." With that, Asher struggled to get up from the bed, trying to get his scepter.
"No, no, Asher, I'm already the palace master, and it's my responsibility to solve Nishino's difficulties, believe me!" I helped Asher back to bed and left.
Coming out of Asher's courtyard, I went directly to the White Jade Palace, where my father was not there and my mother lived alone. As I passed, I saw my mother sitting on the edge of the bed, holding my father's clothes in her hands. Seeing me walk in, my mother quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and hurriedly tucked my father's clothes behind her.
"Xiu, why are you here?" The mother's face was extremely soft, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Mother, I'm leaving, so I'm here to say goodbye to you." I stepped forward and shook my mother's hand.
"Let's go? Where is my son going? "My mother looked at me in amazement, very disappointed.
"Mother, it's not that my son wants to go, it's just that Nishino in the north asked me for help, they are in trouble, and I am the palace master, so I have to go."
"Nishino? Your father was there once, and he told me that it was desolate, sparsely populated, and that life was very difficult. ”
"So, I'm going more."
"Have you decided?"
"Well, I've already told Asher."
"Since you've decided, let's go, Mother will wait for you to come back."
"Thank you, Mother."
After saying goodbye to my mother, I still have to go and talk to my dreams and sisters. Originally, I wanted to solve the matter of the Buyue clan, and I got married to Meng. It seems that I can only delay it for a little longer, I don't know if the dream will be sad, will I blame me for always putting the matter of the glass palace in front.
"Xiu, are you going to the Yiyi Palace again?" My uncle stopped me not far away.
"Yes uncle, I'm going to Nishino soon, see Yume and my sisters, and say goodbye to them by the way."
"Xiu, you can't go to Nishino." My uncle grabbed me at once.
"The Patriarch of Nishino sent a letter asking for help, and Asher was injured again, so I had to go."
"Repair, but ......."
"Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely come back safely."
Turning my uncle down, I turned away, leaving him alone and sighing.
When I came to the door of the beautiful palace, I didn't know how to talk to Meng, she should be happily waiting for me to bring back the news of when I would get married......
After hesitating for a long time, I went in anyway. Dream is laughing with her sisters, Ji, Quan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang, and several sisters are there. Dreams are among them, as if they are a family, and they can't see the birth at all. I walked over with a smile.
"Looks like the dream should be my sisters!"
"Xiu, you're naughty again." When Dream saw me coming, she happily ran over and grabbed my hand.
"The dream is not only ours, it's also yours, Xiu." Sister Kwon also came over.
"Yes, Xiu, when will you get married, Dream can't wait to become your bride." Sister Yaoguang also came over.
"Soon."
"Soon when will it be, you are already two hundred years old, it is time to get married." Sister Yaoguang's voice was a little more urging.
"When I come back from Nishino, Dream and I will get married."
"You're going to Nishino?"
"Hmm."
"Xiu, where is Nishino?" Dream looked at me suspiciously.
"Dream, Nishino is an ancient race, in a very remote place." Sister Kwon explained to the dream, and I kept my head down, not knowing what to say to the dream.
"Then ......, how long will Xiu be gone?" The dream was almost crying. I immediately took her into my arms and whispered a promise in her ear.
"I'll be back soon."
Dream cried out completely, I really felt her tears wet my chest, and my sisters stopped talking and stayed quietly next to me and Dream.
On this day, I stayed in the palace for a long time, and the dream has been holding me tightly, telling all kinds of nostalgia and reluctance. I kept comforting her, touching her, and coaxing her for a long time, until she fell asleep in my arms.
When I left the palace, my soothsayer was ready, and five servants were waiting for me in the main hall. Except for the soothsayer and me, the five servants' spiritual skills are also at level 5, and everything is ready.
Before leaving, Asher and Uncle came out to see me off, I saw worry in their eyes, I smiled, and said to my uncle, Liuli Palace will be handed over to him for the time being, and when I come back, I hope that my uncle's flowers will bloom all over Liuli Palace. Uncle nodded gently and told me he would!
After instructing my uncle, Asher walked up to me. I still looked at him with a smile, and Asher looked at me deeply. After a long time, he slowly spoke.
"When I grow up, I won't say much, this time, there will definitely be many hardships and dangers, I must pay more attention to my cultivation and come back safely."
"Don't worry, Asher, I'll be back soon."
"I believe the palace master ......." After saying that, Asher came closer to me again, and his old body was tightly leaning against me, and I was much taller than Asher, and I could completely see the gray marks of his hair from the top of his head to the ends of his hair. A hundred years ago, I hugged Asher, crying and refusing to learn spirituality, a hundred years later, I shouldered my own responsibilities, Asher hugged me, and I was extremely worried .......
"Asher, it's time for me to go."
"Go, go......." Asher slowly pulled her body away, from my shoulders to my arms to my hands, her brown eyes staring at me. I suddenly felt a chill in my palms.
What is that? I was about to bow my head, but Asher pushed me away. Doesn't he want me to watch it now? Or can't anyone else see it?
"Xiu, Liuli Palace is waiting for you to come back."
