Chapter Twenty-Six: Kou Luo and Tidal Earth
At the end of the banquet, Yuanshui arranged for me and Dream to be in the side hall of their temple, so that I could see the pivot at any time.
The palace of Musha is very luxurious, and gold decorations can be seen everywhere, but there are no flowers, birds, fish and insects in this palace, probably because of the perennial quicksand of Musha, the pivot told me that in addition to the wine in the palace cellar there is no gravel, most of the wells in other places are sand, and the water source of the entire Musha is from the yellow sand. Therefore, water and land are precious in the pasture.
I asked the cardinal about the sacrifice. Why did they take the people introduced by Huangquan as sacrifices, why the whole Musha was barren, but the Musha Palace was extremely luxurious.
The pivot slowly raised the origin of Musha: Legend has it that 10,000 years ago, the wind and rain in Musha were uncontrollable, which led to the decline of animal husbandry, and later, the ancestor of Musha met a blonde woman in a barren land, who was holding a clay pot in her arms. Soon after getting along, the ancestor of Musha married the blonde woman and took her back to Musha with him.
As soon as the woman stepped into the land of Musha, the land of Musha instantly became full of life, the water and grass became fertile, the cattle and sheep had spirits, and the people of Musha regarded the blonde woman as the goddess. I heard that the blonde woman had come to the royal city of Musha with her ancestors, and all the men and women of Musha gathered on the side of the street of Musha, kneeling and waiting for her to pass by.
"And after that?" I wonder why Musha, now that the environment has improved, has become so desolate.
Then the Shu continued the story of Musha: "Later, the blonde woman passed by the street, and looked at the men and women on both sides, some of them dressed in shabby clothes, some of them unclothed, and the children were crying in their mother's arms, so they took out a handful of gold coins from the clay pot in their arms, and sprinkled them all over the crowd, and suddenly the men and women called out to the Mother of God in thanks, and the blonde woman gently stroked their heads, and everywhere they passed, there was no disease. ”
"What a magical woman! If I had a clay pot, I would do it like Mother God. Dream said to us with a smile. I stopped the dream and asked her to continue listening.
"It would have been a good thing, for Musha, for the people. However, Musha's ancestors had an evil idea. Originally, when the Mother of God entered the palace of Musha King, the treasury of Musha became very full, but gradually, the ancestors were not satisfied. He coveted the Mother God's clay pot and coveted the gold in the pot. I want to take possession of it alone. Just as the Mother of God gave birth to the first blonde child for the Ancestor, the Ancestor took a dagger and pierced the Heart of the Mother of God. Speaking of which, Shu looked at the dream and asked her if she still envied the Divine Mother. Dream shook her head and threw herself into my arms in horror.
Then the priest continued: "The Mother of God could not believe that her husband, the king of Musha, had killed her with a dagger, and asked the ancestors why? At that time, the ancestors could not take care of these things, looking for clay pots around the Divine Mother, and the Divine Mother understood that this man had been for her gold from beginning to end. The funny thing is that the clay pot is filled with yellow sand from beginning to end, and it is she who prays to the gods to give her the divine power of her hands with her lifespan, and turn sand into gold. She told the ancestor truthfully that she hoped that he would repent and that the Mother would forgive him. However, the ancestor had been blinded by the gold, and felt that the Mother of God would not give him the gold until she died, so he broke the tendons of the Mother of God, and the Mother of God saw that the ancestor was so vicious, and her heart was dead. So he was sad, looked at the child in his arms and recited the incantation. She cursed the ancestors to die and curse Mu Sha for the yellow sand all year round, but the child's cry touched her hard heart, she did not completely lose her mind, in the face of the child, she let go of the whole Mu Sha. From then on, the descendants of Musha were half gentle and kind, and half evil and stubborn. And the appearance of Huangquan is a long time ago, a good king set the rules, he used the way of sacrifices to repent for the sins of the ancestors, unfortunately, after many different personalities of the king, to the current king, the sacrifice is only one form left, each sacrifice, if the cattle, sheep and livestock will be slaughtered by the king himself, if the spirit beast is a pet, if the woman is ....... At this point, the pivot stopped.
"What will happen?" Dream and I are in unison.
"It will be possessed by the king." Shu looked at me and Dream sternly, his eyes full of worry for me and Dream.
"I don't want to be here, I want to be with me all the time." Maybe it was because I was scared about Huangshaquan, and I cried in a low voice, and I hugged my dream tightly in my arms, never thinking that I had just escaped from danger and fell into trouble again.
Shu said that there was only one way, let me escape with my dreams, and leave now.
"Since Mushaguo values sacrifices so much, and I leave with my dreams, wouldn't it be very dangerous for my sister. Xiu won't ignore his sister. "I just pushed the pivot to the top at the banquet, leaving at this time will hurt the pivot, besides, I have lost Xuan, I can't lose the pivot again, I plan to stay and see what this Musha king is going to do.
"Fix ......." Cardinal looked at me worriedly and didn't say anything more. I watched her quietly, and I thought that my eyes had told her that she should be happy that his younger brother had fully grown up, and was no longer the delicate young master in the Glass Palace, who was guarded by everyone.
Yume and I stayed with my sister until late at night. Thousands of miles apart, the reunion made us very happy, and we forgot about the hidden dangers around us for the time being.
Shu kept holding my hand and Dream and said a lot.
On the second night of living in the Musha Palace, when everyone was asleep, I blew the night chirping in the dark night, which is the unique secret whistle of the Liuli Palace, and it was in my coming-of-age ceremony, Asher wore it around my neck, and I clearly remember that Asher said that it would accompany me for a long time in my thousand-year-old life.
After a while, a black figure pounced in front of me.
"Repair."
"Creek Wind."
"Xiu, you're fine." Xifeng's eyes flickered in the night, and I was a little glad that I hadn't seen him for a few days, and that he had been secretly protecting me around the palace all these days. I told him about my situation and Mu Sha's situation, and he said that last night he saw the prince of the tide earth talking to a woman late at night, and seemed to be plotting something, but he didn't know who the woman was.
I thought for a moment, I can enter the heavily guarded palace, and it must not be an ordinary person, Xifeng nodded in agreement. I let Xifeng continue to investigate secretly, but I couldn't let Shami know that he was the ancient guardian, the loyalty of Mu Sha, and our hidden retreat.
"Hmm." The brook departed as promised, spreading its wings to add a touch of wind to the night.
For the next few days, Dream and I spent it unharmed.
The king did not ask of us for the time being. Most of the dreams and I stayed in the temple of the cardinal.
On this day, after a pleasant lunch, the figure of a woman broke into the temple, and before she arrived, the voice came first:
Luo'er heard that there was a guest from the Liuli Palace, and her sister-in-law didn't know to call Luo'er to take a look. You can hear some strong domineering in the words.
The pivot came over and told me that this was Musha's only princess, Kou Luo.
Before we could finish speaking, a woman jumped up to us.
"What a handsome man!" Kou Luo skipped the dream around me, walked to a place close to me and stared at me closely, not taking his eyes off an inch.
I didn't like it when people treated her like this, so I walked back to her side and looked at her.
The princess in front of her, like Yuan Shui, also has long blonde hair, yellowish skin, and brown pupils, but when they met for the first time, her style of behavior was already much worse than Yuan Shui. Although it's a princess, it's as rough as a man.
"My name is Xiu, the younger brother of Liuli Gongshu." I introduced myself calmly, my eyes skimming over her.
"No wonder, sister-in-law is already beautiful enough, and Brother Yuanshui is fascinated, I can't imagine that you are more beautiful." She looked at me like a man picks a woman. This disgusted me.
"Hehehe, the princess has won the award, Xiu is just an ordinary man." I looked away from Kouluo, took Dream by the hand and left.
"Where are you going?" Kouluo's voice came after me, and I turned to look at her sideways, "Take my dream to visit your palace." ”
When I got out of the main hall, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiu, she seems to like you very much." Dream looked at me with a somewhat depressed expression.
"It's her business, you only have dreams in your cultivation eyes!" I gave Dream a satisfactory answer. It's like I'm firmly in front of the cardinal, showing my heart for the dream, and the dream is gently snuggled on my shoulder.
Two days later, the king sent Shioto to deliver an order that Dream and I should go to the princess's wedding party. Because Princess Musha has reached the age of leaving the cabinet. Yuan Shui is the host of the recruitment conference.
The assembly was held in an open space outside the royal palace. More than a dozen men lined up in a row and took turns to challenge Shioto. Yuan Shui said that according to Musha's rules, only those closest to the princess can have a chance to compete with the princess, and Kou Luo has a good relationship with Shioto, so the contestants can only challenge Shioto. I watched from the sidelines with the dream.
After a few reincarnations, nine times out of ten, the contestants were defeated by Xitu, but Xitu was ruthless, and those losers were probably useless. By the last contestant, Shioto still showed no mercy, and with a punch, the young man was instantly knocked away and fell to my feet. And Kou Luo applauded not far away.
I suddenly remembered the curse of the Mother of God that I had spoken about. Sure enough, this Musha, in addition to Yuanshui's gentle personality, Xitu and Kouluo are fierce and vicious. The ancient curse was fully manifested in them. So, I picked up the contestant at my feet and treated him with spiritual magic.
"You're so daring." Xitu jumped forward, and a cold voice sounded in my ears.
"Why does the prince say that?" I picked up the wounded man and let him go.
"Heh, this is my marriage affair with Mu Shakouluo, as Kou Luo's brother, I carefully chose a husband for her, what are you doing?"
"Help the wounded." I clapped my hands, but I didn't look at the tide directly.
"Good! Now you're going to challenge me. Shioto said, the evil smiled, his spiritual skills were also extremely superb, and I could feel a powerful force rushing towards me.
"Xitu, no!" Yuan Shui hurriedly stopped him, but he couldn't listen. Seeing that it was about to come to me, I closed my eyes and turned the ring on my right hand, I understood that if I defeated Xitu, I would have to fight Kou Luo, and if I failed, Liuli Palace would become a joke, so I had to be in control. Let this matter not hurt anything.
Just as I was pondering whether to do anything about it, Shioto suddenly stopped.
"It's the stream wind!" Dream shouted not far away.
Stream Breeze? I looked closely, and it was indeed the stream wind, and the black wings were pressing against the tide in front of him, making him unable to move.
"Xiu, you dare to move!" The cold voice of the stream wind sounded, and Xitu instantly took a few steps back. The surrounding soldiers saw that the wind had repelled the tide and swarmed up, but then, frightened away by a roar, a large brown figure ran from a distance.
"Demons, demons." Dream jumped up happily,
Everyone was stunned by this scene. A boy with huge wings stood beside me with a beast of prey, and Yuanshui was equally surprised by Shioto.
"Introduction, this is my buddies, Xifeng and the Demon!" I walked slowly in front of Shioto, his eyes full of unconvinced. I continued to say to him, "Xiu just can't see that the prince is too ruthless, a little excessive, and he doesn't mean anything else or have anything wrong with Princess Koro. Moreover, my fiancée has always been there for me. With that, I turned and left.
The feud with the tide of the earth is settled.
