Chapter Twenty-Six: Who Knows
Li Wei came out of the Tongming Hall and began to walk towards the Yao Pond in the extreme south.
Yaochi is the sleeping palace of the Queen Mother, in the first heaven of the divine realm, and the Tongming Hall of the ninth heaven is separated by the farthest distance.
As for why the dormitories of the two most noble people in the divine realm are so far apart, one is in the extreme south, and the other is at the top of the extreme north, the world's explanation for this is that the emperor and the queen mother are each sitting on one side, and the divine realm can be peaceful for ten thousand years.
When they arrived at Yaochi, the goddess who had left the news entered the inner hall. A woman who seemed to be the most graceful and luxurious woman in the world sat on the couch, saw Li Wei coming in, smiled slightly, and raised her hand to him elegantly. Li Wei bowed respectfully, and then bowed his head and walked slowly forward, slowly walking to the queen mother's side.
The Queen Mother quietly looked at Liwu's polite manners, and smiled bitterly in her heart, but she still tried to ask him with a smile on his current situation in Qingyao Mountain.
Li Wei replied respectfully one by one, and the Queen Mother suddenly did not know what to say to this eldest son, who was always silent.
After thinking about it, the queen mother tentatively mentioned that some time ago, the princess of the East China Sea intended to marry their god realm royal family for her eldest princess, and wanted to hear the idea of leaving the worries.
After pondering for a while, he replied: "Princess Mei Huai of the East China Sea is also practicing in Qingyao Immortal Mountain with the imperial brother now, but Erchen thinks that the imperial brother has no heart for the princess of the dragon clan, and he is a crazy and wild character, and forcibly putting him together with the princess will make the imperial brother even more rebellious." ”
Thinking of her youngest son's merry and unruly temperament, the queen mother had a little headache, and blamed herself for spoiling him.
After thinking about it, the queen mother continued to ask: "Actually, this palace is not particularly worried about Le Yan, and now the queen mother is most worried about your marriage." You are already a big man, you should have married a family a long time ago, what do you think of the princess of the dragon clan, if there is, the queen mother will go to the princess of the East China Sea to propose to you. ”
Liwu's eyes flickered, and he rejected the queen mother in a consistently indifferent tone: "The queen mother doesn't need to worry about her sons, now the sons and daughters follow their father's decree to teach the "Heaven and Earth Code" in Qingyao Mountain for a hundred years, and now is only the first year, everything is undecided, and it is really impossible to separate thoughts to consider the affairs of men and women." ”
The queen mother sighed softly, knowing that he really had no intention of using official business as an excuse to prevaricate as before, so she could only give up some mandarin duck scores and continue to talk about other things with her eldest son.
"That's right. The Queen Mother suddenly thought that the famous little demon emperor who was famous all over the world was also practicing in Qingyao Mountain, so she asked Liwu curiously: "I heard that the demon world's Zhige is also practicing in Qingyao Mountain, what do you think of that little demon emperor?"
Li was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that the queen mother was asking about his marriage to Zhi Ge, and when he reacted, he opened his mouth to cover up: "Oh, Zhi Ge, well, although she is a little unruly like the emperor's brother, but she has all beings in her heart, and she does not live up to her talent." ”
"Who wants to hear you say this?" the queen mother said angrily, "I heard that Na Zhige likes beauty, and once ignored the legal code, and almost accepted the current Dragon King of the West Sea, and your royal brother is also a romantic species, these two have the same temperament, the queen mother wants to ask you, that Zhige saw our family's handsome and chic words, do the two of them have any meaning to each other?"
Li's worried face darkened, and he unconsciously aggravated his tone, dispelling the idea that the queen mother wanted to be a matchmaker when she was old: "Queen mother, the royal brother and Zhige do get along very happily now, but the two of them should be friends with each other, and there is no love for the wind and the moon, and Nazhige is a demon clan, and the god race is in another world, according to the first law of the "Heaven and Earth Code", it is not allowed to intermarry. ”
The queen mother raised her hand to cover her mouth and laughed, retreated the maids left and right, leaned forward, and whispered to Liwu: "Although this matter is a secret in the Six Realms, you are not unaware, Na Zhige has the power of the three gods, as long as it is correctly guided and the three gods are gathered and dredged, she can fade away from the demon body and become a new god, and then she will be the emperor of the demon world, if she marries your royal brother, the peace between the demon world and the god world will be guaranteed for ten thousand years, otherwise, if she becomes a new god and has the power to confront the god race, how can the god world take the demon world at that time." ”
Li Wei frowned, the expression on his face gradually became serious, and he solemnly said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Erchen believes that the peace of the Six Realms should not be tied to one person, nor should it be fulfilled by relying on harmony, Zhi Ge is still kind-hearted, now as long as she knows the righteousness and people do not offend her, she will not make a big move, we should still focus on the demon world that has been restless." ”
The Queen Mother looked at the eldest son's majestic and upright face again, and knew that he didn't like to use this kind of woman's strategy, so she said perfunctorily that she was just talking casually, and asked him not to take it seriously.
After leaving the sorrow, the Queen Mother sighed deeply. In fact, it is really not easy to be the most noble woman in the world, she has to be dignified and polite at all times, she has to deal with human contacts, she has to worry about her children, and she has to consider the conflicts of interests in all aspects of the divine realm, if she changes to another woman, what will she do?
Thinking of this, the queen mother summoned the trusted female official and said that she would go to the Tongming Palace, which had not been there for a long time.
The Emperor of Heaven reclined on the brocade couch, and a three-legged tripod-shaped incense burner beside the pillow was full of smoke, emitting bursts of intoxicating fragrance.
The Emperor leaned forward, put his nose close to the swirling incense mist, took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and showed an intoxicated expression on his face.
He lay down comfortably, closed his tired eyes, stretched his waist shallowly, sleepiness hit, he found the most comfortable position, exhaled, and began to fall into a long-lost sleep.
He hadn't smelled such a pure scent of Shenmu for more than 100,000 years. Since she left, his insomnia could only be relieved by the fragrance of the green girl when he recurred. Although the Shenmeng incense made by the young girl is not bad, only the incense she makes in this world can make him sleep sweetly.
I don't know if I can see her again in my dream this time.
After the tent, the Queen Mother stood there and stood quietly for a long time. She took one last look at her husband lying on the couch, turned around neatly, and left the Tongming Hall with the goddesses.
It is the depths of winter, and the entire Zhaoyao Mountain is covered in snow and snow.
Luo Luo looked at the snowflakes flying outside the entrance of the cave, took out a crystal stone, and set up the last layer of enchantment outside the cave.
At this time of year, the king would take a group of subordinates who needed to hibernate in the swaggering cave where the wine and good meat could not be used up all winter, and she and her subordinates would wake up and fight outside when the weather warmed up in the next spring.
Although hibernation is their nature, the king has never liked this habit of the demon clan, so he used the human saying to call it the "Winter Tibetan Festival", which sounds more elegant. After changing his name, the king and the little demons ate wine and meat in the cave with peace of mind, preparing to hibernate.
The king is the future demon emperor of the demon world, although the demon clan bows down to her, but if the demon world, as an old enemy, knows about the "Winter Tibetan Festival", he will definitely seize the opportunity to attack the swagger mountain. In order to protect everyone, every year before the "Winter Tibetan Festival", the king will set up layers of enchantments and formations under the Zhaoyao Mountain, and those who do not hold the pass order given by her cannot enter and exit.
This year is the first year that the king went to Qingyao Mountain to practice, and the king was not there, but he left them a Zhenshan stone in advance that could set up a formation, and also taught her the mantra for setting an enchantment. In this way, even if she can't sit in the cave mansion, she doesn't dare to come to the mansion to disturb her.
"This year's 'Winter Tibetan Festival' has no king, so it's a lot more boring. ”
Luo Luo turned his head and saw Chen Yan who came to her side at some point.
Since taking the elixir made by the king in the second test last time, his serious injuries have healed quickly, and his body and expression have returned to their previous charming.
Luo Luo hummed in response, and his eyes moved back to the flying snow outside the cave, trying not to look at Chen Yan's face that was alluring to the city.
Chen Yan also looked at the heavy snow flying in the sky, and muttered, "The king should be sleeping soundly in Qingyao Mountain at the moment." ”
Luo Luo smiled, revealing two cute tiger teeth, she seemed to comfort and jokingly said to Chen Yan: "Don't worry, although the king won't open his eyes once every time he sleeps in the snow, there are few people in the sky and on the ground who want to have bad intentions towards the king and can hurt her, and no one dares to act in the holy land of Qingyao Mountain." I just don't know if the king is used to living over there, and if he eats well?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Luo Luo asked Chen Yan again: "Last time the king sent a secret letter for you to investigate, how did you investigate?"
Chen Yan frowned, nodded and said: "It's the depths of winter, there are not many people in the mansion who can call, and the progress is a little slow, but it can be regarded as a little eyebrow, and there will be results in a while." ”
Rollo listened and nodded. Last time, the king sent a secret letter to Chen Yan and asked him to inquire about the "sky-breaking axe", but now the time is not good, everyone in the house is lazy, and the subordinates who don't need to hibernate can only do some patrol work, and there are few people who use it well, so the progress is naturally a little slow, but Chen Yan said this, then it should still be possible to find out the results as soon as possible.
The two talked about this for a while, and a pine tree spirit came to report, saying that the prince of the divine realm who passed on the edict of the Emperor of Heaven last time was now at the foot of the mountain, and wanted to see the person in charge.
Luo Luo and Chen Yan were both shocked in their hearts, and they didn't understand what the prince of Liwu meant by coming to the mountain at this moment.
The goose feather snow that had been drifting for a few days finally stopped, and Zhi Ge stretched hard and yawned heavily.
Tang Hua was sitting at the table embroidering a handkerchief, and when he saw that Zhi Ge had finally woken up, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even after sleeping for several days, she didn't open her eyes for a moment, if it weren't for the ups and downs of breathing, Tang Hua thought she was dead several times. However, seeing that she is in good spirits now, she should not have to sleep day and night like before for a few days.
"Knock knock", the sound of knocking on the door sounded, and Zhi Ge lazily asked, "Who?"
A voice from a disciple sounded, saying that Zhige had a family member to visit, and Xuanzun asked her to go to Qianshan to see her.
Zhi Ge looked at Tang Hua, who was also confused, and muttered: "Family?
Although he was a little reluctant to move, Zhi Ge still stumbled down the steps and ran to the mountain gate.
Under the mountain gate, a familiar figure was looking in with a basket, and Zhige happily shouted "Luo Luo", and quickly ran to Luo Luo and gave her a big hug.
The two chatted affectionately for a while, and seeing that there was no one around, Luo Luo gave Zhi Ge a look, beckoned Zhi Ge to get closer, and then secretly lifted the lid of the food box open a large crack so that she could see what was inside.
Zhi Ge glanced into the food box, and a smile suddenly bloomed on his face.
Luo Luo held a plate of fragrant roast chicken, and Zhi Ge happily tore off a fat and tender chicken thigh and ate it. The master and servant squatted on the ground regardless of their image, and they were very close to each other, so as not to let the disciples see that it was disrespectful for them to open meat in the holy land of the fairy world, and it involved unnecessary incidents.
Luo Luo watched his king finish eating the chicken leg with enjoyment, and then tore off a chicken wing to eat, happily revealing two small tiger teeth.
She approached and said sweetly to her king: "Don't worry, my lord, this time I brought a lot of meat from the house, enough for you to eat for two or three months, and the slaves and maids will put it all in the bag for you later, and you can take it out and eat it at any time when you are hungry in the future." ”
When Zhi Ge heard this, he happily pinched Luo Luo's delicate cheek with his hand, and said with a smile: "Luo Luo, you know the king's mind best." ”
Luo Luo's expression was a little strange, and she asked Zhi Ge suspiciously: "Hey, isn't it the king that you asked Prince Liwu to come to Zhaoyao Mountain to spread the word, saying that he is not used to eating in Qingyao Mountain, let us send you some meat?"
When Zhi Ge heard this, he frowned, and he was also a little surprised, and the speed of chewing meat slowed down, and he replied inarticulately: "No, I am not particularly familiar with that sorrow." ”
Luo Luo lowered his head and thought about it for a while, and found that he still couldn't figure it out, so he planned to ignore it, so he continued to say to the king: "King, it is now the 'Winter Tibetan Festival', and the mountain and the mansion have been laid out in formations and enchantments according to your instructions, and now the entire Zhaoyao Mountain is tight, so you can rest assured that you can practice here." But in this case, it will become inconvenient for me to go down the mountain, I was going to send you meat every month under the guise of dealing with the affairs of the demon world, but now I can only send it to you every two months, and when the 'Winter Tibetan Festival' passes in the spring of next year, the slave maid will come to visit you once a month. ”
Hearing that his future meat was secured, Zhi Ge was moved and almost cried. Sure enough, it was my own family who loved me the most.
On the side of the Qingyao Mountain Road, the two figures were tightly blocked by the trees on the side, but it did not affect the people in the bushes to see the situation in front of the mountain gate through the gap.
A young man dressed in a guard's costume curiously asked the master who was staring at the world-famous little demon emperor, "Your Highness, when you come back from the divine realm this time, why do you have to go to Zhaoyao Mountain, and just to let someone send some meat to the little demon emperor to eat?"
His master is wise and martial, and every decisive action has its own reason, and this trip to the demon world should have other deeper purposes. Gu Yu, the personal guard who was worried about it, thought so.
Seeing Zhige's appearance when he ate the long-lost roast chicken, a smile couldn't help but appear on his worried face.
Hearing Gu Yu's question, he replied lightly: "Now that Qingyao Mountain has begun to strictly protect the wild geese in the back mountain, it is not a way for her to secretly catch wild geese to eat, or let someone send her some meat, so as to stop her from going to the back mountain to hit the muzzle." ”
Seeing the undisguised concern in his master's words, Gu Yu's body shook slightly. Except for the second prince Le Yan, he has never seen anyone the master cares about, and the object of his concern is still a woman.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu also looked at the little demon emperor who was squatting with the maid in front of the mountain gate and eating without any image and temperament.
He had heard of this great name, but when he saw it today, it made people feel a difference! The legendary enchanting and heroic demon god of war is like this?
Gu Yu pondered the words for a moment and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, you don't have a ...... for this little demon emperor Well...... "Alas, what am I talking about!" Gu Yu can't wait to slap himself at this moment, is his Royal Highness the kind of person who will have children's private affairs?
Naturally rejecting this idea, Gu Yu looked up at his master and chuckled in his heart.
It's over, although he doesn't want to admit it, but this silent man with some inexplicable blush on his face is indeed his master.
It's really a 10,000-year-old iron tree that has blossomed. Gu Yu's mood at the moment was surging like waves.
