Chapter 134: Lost Soul

Previous Chapter

Nanshan stared blankly at the few fruits rolling to his feet, showed a look of disbelief, and asked, "You actually know how to make wine?" You...... Aren't you a general? ”

"The general is right, how can there be no wine on the march?" Huang Xia smiled and put the fruits together, while taking Nanshan's bloodstained clothes, sighed, and muttered, "It's dirty like this, I don't know if it can be washed out." ”

"Hey, hey! You pay me back! Nanshan suddenly panicked, put down the barbecue in his hand and made a gesture to take the clothes in Huang Xia's hand - that was the clothes she was wearing, what kind of madness did this person want to put his posture so low, and even planned to help her wash her clothes?

Huang Xia seemed to see a touch of crimson on Nanshan's face, so he couldn't help but laugh too presumptuously, and sped up his movements and ran out.

Not far from the cave, there was a gurgling stream, the surface of the stream was not wide, and a large stone pressed down on Nanshan's coat, allowing it to drift along the turbulent current, and the red blood stained the lower half of the stream pink, like a sunset goddess dancing in the clouds.

And Huang Xia stood in the thigh-deep stream, patiently washing the wild fruits in his hands, and put four dilapidated clay pots on the bank, one of which had been put into most of the wild fruits by Huang Xia, exuding a strange and attractive fruit fragrance.

"It seems that the last big storm brought us a lot of things......" Nanshan reached into the jar and took two wild fruits, and gnawed on them, "When did you find these?" ”

"Yesterday...... I wanted to use these crockpots to 'catch fish in an urn', but after trying several times, I couldn't do it, so I gave up. Araxia shook his head, smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and said, "There are still a lot of things piled up on the shore, and I have also seen the wreckage of some ships, perhaps, we can find something useful from them to help us get out of this desert island together." ”

"There's a question I've always wanted to ask you." Nanshan sat on the shore, "Do you really want to shake hands with our Qingzhiyue and make peace and conclude a friendship for eternity?" ”

Araxia bent down and bowed his head, and continued to wash the fruit in his hands, but did not answer.

After a moment of silence, Nanshan suddenly laughed, looked up to the sky and said, "The sky can be seen, you really don't have a good heart." ”

"Not necessarily." Araxia's tone was light, and he thought for a while: "Why don't you answer me a question first, if I am satisfied with your answer, the two countries will talk about peace...... Not unavoidable. ”

"Oh? Do you mean it's going to be a matter of success or failure? Nanshan straightened his back and confidently looked forward to Araxia's question.

"Originally, our Eastern Summer has always been overwhelming Qingzhiyue regardless of national strength or war, if it weren't for the delay in capturing several fortresses in the north, and the rampant water bandits in the south that caused heavy losses to our naval army, I'm afraid that most of your Qingzhiyue have already changed their names and surnames, it should be my vassal of Dongzhixia, right?" After washing the last fruit in his hand, Huang Xia also sat on the shore, and continued: "The ancestor Qingyue King died of illness, although there was an edict to pass on the throne, but several princes under his knees were all ambitious, and none of them were willing to obey the new king according to the edict......

"What the hell are you trying to ask?" Nanshan folded his arms and interrupted him with some impatience.

"At that time, where was you, the High Priest of the Asking Star? And why did you choose to be loyal to the prince who was the least likely to take the throne at that time? ”

The prince who is least likely to seize the throne that Araxia said is the current King of Qingyue, Qingyue.

No one knows why this prince, who has been ostracized and suppressed by the royal family since he was a child, was given the name "Qingyue" when he was born.

Obviously he broke a pair of legs in the royal hunt when he was a teenager, and then he was inexplicably blind in one eye, since then, he has stumbled in his speech, and has been hiding in his dormitory all day long......

"Hmm......" Nanshan tilted his head and frowned: "You have two questions!" ”

"No, all I'm asking is about you, so it's the same question." The corners of Araxia's mouth twitched, and his smile revealed a bit of cunning.

Nanshan then recalled what Huang Xia said just now, and his heart suddenly became apprehensive, feeling like a donkey that fell into a maze in an instant, except for blindly stumbling in it, the only thing he could do was to quickly turn those two long pointed ears.

It seems that the so-called peace talks of the Eastern Xia Emperor can be concluded to be a cover for harboring evil intentions, but now he has made a group of negotiable appearances, as if the future direction of the fate of the two countries has been handed over to her with great seriousness, and it seems that he is just answering one or two questions and giving him a satisfactory answer, but this is obviously coercing her.

What does it mean to have a satisfactory answer? Not only does it have to be authentic, but it also has to meet his expectations.

Maybe Nanshan really hopes that the two countries can conclude a friendship for a hundred generations, or maybe she thinks that these two issues of Araxia are not a confidential matter, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation, she quickly replied: "I naturally grew up in the Temple of the Asking Stars, according to the classics, whether it is a priest or a divine envoy, they were all gifted babies of the people, and when they were born, the visions that fell from the sky would be matched by the envoys of the Asking Stars in various places, and finally sent to the temple for cultivation...... On the night of the death of the previous king, my master, the high priest of the previous generation, died in a stargazing session, which, according to the oracle on duty that night, was different from the past......"

Nanshan's brows furrowed even tighter for a while, and he said in a tone of disbelief: "He...... He seems to have used the Origin Forbidden Technique? ”

It's just that Master, he has always been casual and free, so what does he want to see this time?

And when it comes to using the Yuan Shi Forbidden Technique to gaze at the stars, Nanshan is actually more familiar, although she knows that this technique hurts the mind and hurts the body, and it is a taboo for the country, but she still uses it many times, and she only feels a trace of fatigue and depression every time, and there is nothing abnormal in the rest.

Seeing Nanshan's expression becoming more and more solemn, Araxia smiled and sighed: "I don't want to listen to your memories, you just need to tell me that you grew up in the temple since you were a child, so what about after that?" How did you decide to help the Blue Moon Prince? ”

"Soon, I took over the position of the high priest of the Asking Stars, and I met Qingyue at the succession ceremony, only to know that he was the one who often came to the temple to play chess and read books with me when I was a child......" Nanshan's eyes were misty, looking at the dense jungle in the distance, she seemed to have not heard Araxia's question, as if she had lost her soul, and told the past in the palace one by one.

Huang Xia stretched out her hand and shook it twice in front of Nanshan's eyes, but she didn't even blink her eyes, the brilliance in her pupils dissipated little by little, staring at a pair of empty eyes, and her voice became deeper and lower.

"Miss Anan! Anan girl, wake up! Huang Xia snapped his fingers in Nanshan's ear several times, and seeing that she was still indifferent, he had to put his hands on her shoulders and shake her upper body vigorously.

And then ...... Then......" Nanshan's speech gradually slowed down, and some color gradually appeared in her eyes, and finally she suddenly trembled, and a fine bead of sweat appeared on her forehead, "I, what's wrong with me?" ”

"I don't know, what you looked like just now......" The corners of Araxia's mouth twitched unconsciously, and said, "It's like a nerd who was forced to read by Mr. Xuetang." ”

Nanshan froze, and her mind was still churning with the few words that had just fallen, and the voices were intricately intertwined, making her a little dizzy for a while.

"According to what you said, you grew up in the Temple of the Stars when you were young, and you were subject to various rules and regulations, so you could neither show your true colors nor meet people outside the temple at will...... Then how can you play chess, read, frolic, and eat sorbet with the Blue Moon King? You said that you healed his injured leg so that he could fulfill his promise to take you out on horseback riding, and that ...... It's a bit far-fetched, right? ”

Nanshan's narrative just now was rather messy, but there was a paragraph that was as clear and clear as a running account, Huang Xia grasped a few key points, and without waiting for her to answer, she suddenly threw out another question again: "Do you remember that you said to me in Ningjiang Town before...... Have you ever seen me in a dream? ”

Nanshan wiped the sweat from his head and nodded a little stunned.

"Can you elaborate on what happened in your dream?"
