"Why did my brother come to me?" The fragrance is strange, and she has always been quiet, and it is even rarer to take the initiative to see her.

"I just arrived, and I came for the lost Master, only to find that it had been nesting with you all along. I plan to carry it back to Xiangguo Temple and enshrine it in the main hall. ”

He was very honest, and his thick forelimbs stretched upward, signaling Xiang Xiang to look at the giant tripod on his body.

This is an old round bronze three-legged tripod, although it was fished out of the water, there is no trace of rust at all.

Simple and generous, the ornamentation is rough, and there is a sense of beauty that has been precipitated over the years.

It is said that it is normal to come out of the water with a little mud and moss or something. But Noble and the others stepped forward to see that there was not a trace of moisture inside.

Noble became interested and jumped on the back of the man, "This old man, your sister is planning to make a seafood soup, why don't you lend us this ding?" ”

He was not annoyed, and looked at Xiangxiang good-naturedly: "If my sister needs it, I have no choice." ”

Xiangxiang nodded, anyway, she didn't lose anything, and she didn't care about Noble's false decree.

So he shook his limbs, stepped on it, found a place with a relatively solid ground, and suddenly unloaded the giant tripod aside, and smashed out three pits.

Only Meimei was present who had more convenient movements, so she ran around excitedly, bringing a lot of dry bamboo branches and leaves.

The three old monsters sat lazily around Da Ding and watched the little girl do their work for them.

"By the way, isn't this Master Ding at the entrance to the East China Sea? How did you end up here? Noble was bored with the bamboo leaves he had pulled down.

"I don't know, I received news a few days ago that Ding was missing, and my father ordered the East China Sea Clan to fully cooperate in the search. I just walked around, and somehow I got to my sister's place, and I happened to find it. When I go back, I have to find someone to watch it, so that it is always running around. ”

He replied honestly, but his eyes did not look at the questioner, and he kept staring at the door of Xiangxiang's head.

The head is not smoother than that of a normal turtle, it has hair, more like a dragon's head, fist-sized eyes, round nostrils, teeth that can be seen inside the big mouth, and two whiskers fluttering.

Well, it's more powerful and domineering than the average Wang Ba.

Xiangxiang didn't care about its gaze, she knew what her brother was looking at, and it didn't matter if she didn't come back.

"Sister, you've suffered." A trace of regret and distress can be heard in the words.

"There's nothing bitter or bitter, it's all self-inflicted, and I'm doing this very well." Xiangxiang helped set up the firewood, and her tone didn't care.

The atmosphere was a little gloomy, and Xiang Xiang changed the tone of his words: "Brother, old man, please keep it secret for me, it's not good for outsiders to know about the nether realm privately." ”

"Outsiders...... It's good if you're happy. As for the rest, I haven't been back to the East China Sea for a long time, don't worry. His mouth opened and closed, and his deep voice was particularly trustworthy.

He didn't care about the old man.

"Ah, by the way, you said that this thing will run away on its own, is it possible that we have a spiritual intelligence, let's use it to cook something again, is it appropriate?" Noble rarely said something serious.

"It's not in the way, my sister can use it if she wants to, and maybe I'll have to put incense ash when I go back." I don't think there's anything wrong with using the Zhenhai magic utensils of the East China Sea as a cook, and I'm idle.

When you turn back and put it in the temple, you will either be an ancient ornament, or you will hold the incense of believers, and the accumulation of time is also immeasurable.

And Xiangguo Temple is in Haikou, and by the way, it is really a double win to continue to take on the responsibility of Zhenhai.

At this time, the girl came over with bamboo leaves in her arms, and she trotted all the way to the ground. Meimei was in a very good mood, her first time she was cooking outside, and she was in a good mood to fly.

The scales of the luxurious tail quickly scratched the pebbles, and sparks sparked.

Noble cleverly covered it with bamboo leaves, and after igniting it, he carefully put it into the pile of bamboo leaves, and the fire "roared", and with the crackling sound, the ding gradually began to turn red.

"By the way, brother, the little sister I met recently, cute!" Extravagant fragrance conjured a handkerchief out of thin air and landed in Meimei's hand.

"Wipe it quickly, it's all a little flower cat. Sit back and wait to eat the steamed lobster, it will be fine soon. "On the top of the tripod were large lobsters and crabs split and sandwiched with bamboo poles, all of which were packed up by luxury fragrance and noble treasures, and lay on them.

"Hmm," Meimei blushed, and there were some shiny droplets of water on her forehead, and she smiled at Beibeibei, who was looking at her, before sitting down to wipe her sweat.

He took a closer look before nodding at his sister, "It's as cute as Little Eighteen." ”

"yes!" Luxurious fragrance is like meeting a bosom friend, and the eyebrows are dancing.

"Meimei, you know what? If you touch your brother's shell, you can live a long life. Extravagant incense was a little proudly encouraged.

Hearing this, he also straightened his neck, looked at the little girl, and had a hint of encouragement in his eyes.

The child that my sister likes, it's acceptable to touch the shell.

Meimei was a little hesitant, she was still young, if she could, she wanted her grandparents to live a long life, so that she could accompany her for a longer time, she herself didn't want to live so long.

But it was a secret, and she vaguely felt that she couldn't tell the adults.

Looking at Sister Luxiang's encouraging eyes and Noble Treasure's urging gesture, she stood up suddenly, didn't take two steps, and suddenly slipped her feet, and her hands involuntarily pressed to the giant ding in front of her.

Everyone didn't expect such an accident to happen in just a few steps, and hurriedly reached out to help.

Meimei was also very frightened, Ding has been burning for a while, this hand will go up, it will be "stabbed" and half cooked!

Meimei waited in fear for the pain to come, but found that she felt as if she had touched a water balloon in her hand, and sucked herself in whole.

When you open your eyes, you see a whole new world in front of you.

The yellow sand was everywhere, the black clouds were pressing down on the city, and the broken walls were everywhere, and the general, dressed in broken armor, rode the same war horse, took the lead, and rushed to the enemy camp with a long sword in one hand.

The soldiers behind him were also in tattered armor and described as haggard, as if they had experienced a wheel battle. But their eyes were like wolves, and they followed the general's figure closely, rushing towards the opposite side to recuperate.

That indomitable momentum overwhelmed the enemy's main general's fighting intent that had just been re-rewarded.

The two armies met, scuffled, blood and limbs flew sideways, horses neighed, sparks of hand-to-hand combat, and the general rushed left and right, scattering the enemy forces around him. The quick knife cut through the mess, separating the head and body of the opponent's main general, blood sprayed all over his body, staining the armor on his body red, and the whole person was like a hell Shura.

This tragic scene made Mei Mei, who had never even seen a fight since she was a child, stunned on the spot, her hands were shaking, her heart was shaking, her throat was painful, and she wanted to move but couldn't move.

I closed my eyes fiercely, hoping to return there when I opened my eyes, and prayed in my heart to open my eyes carefully, but they still didn't change.

The sultry air before the rain and the hustle and bustle around her gave her an incomparably real experience.

Where is this place?

The rain was pouring down, and Meimei's body couldn't feel the coldness of the rain, and her clothes were not wet, but she could smell the dampness on the tip of her nose.

As soon as I looked up, the soldiers over there were already in full swing in the rain to clean up the battlefield, harvest the spoils, and replenish the knife when they saw the enemy soldiers who were not out of breath.

The general's armor was soaked, and the rain washed away the marks on his face, and the red water seeped all the way down, forming a blood-red pool around him.

Many of the soldiers looked like they had survived the catastrophe, roaring and crying frantically, or carrying a pile of loot to show off to their similarly scarred companions, shouting loudly, and swallowing the rain into their mouths without being too dirty.

Only the general, standing there alone, seemed to be surrounded by an invisible wall of qi, and the joys and sorrows of others had nothing to do with him.

He looked up at the sky with his eyes open, his heavy helmet falling and slamming into the sand, his long knife sinking heavily into the ground for a long time.

With the rain rubbing his face fiercely, his scarred arms were not as muscular as the other soldiers. The long hair was scattered by the rain, and the scar on the face was skimmed, but it was a delicate and sharp face.

He picked up the helmet at his feet and gave an order: "Withdraw the troops." ”

Orders are forbidden.

Suddenly, the scene in front of me changed again.

Before Meimei's dizziness stopped, she found herself in a bonfire.

The general stood in front of the fire, holding a bowl of wine in both hands, with a solemn expression. The first bowl, saluting the sky, raised the wine and sprinkled it into the air, the flames "swooped" and sparks sparked. The second bowl, respectfully, slowly poured out the wine in the bowl, which was instantly absorbed by the sand surface, leaving no trace. In the third bowl, the comrade who sacrificed his life for the country, the general drank it all after saluting, and dropped the pottery bowl.

"How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are with the Son?"

There was a mournful singing in the barracks, and the wounded soldiers also supported each other, mixed with the cries of many people. With the whistling north wind, it spreads into the distance.

The general didn't cry, he was the commander, the backbone of the soldiers, how could he be so weak.

"Soldiers, you are the heroes of Jiuchen, I will give you a cup on behalf of the king." After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and raised the wine glass above his head to look at everyone.

"Good!" The crowd cheered loudly, cups and bowls touched each other, and "ding" sounded.

"Tomorrow, the class will return to the dynasty, the enemies around Jiuchen have been cleared, the territory has grown, and all the meritorious kings know that they have prepared a rich reward." The general's voice was hoarse, but his tone was very firm.

"Good, good, good!" The soldiers waved their weapons or canes up and down, and their emotions became more and more agitated. Wealth touches people's hearts, power is charming, and the moment of celebration of victory is nothing more soothing to the hearts of soldiers than a generous reward.

The general laughed.

Under the reflection of the firelight, the figure is exceptionally tall.

Infected by the celebratory atmosphere, Meimei hadn't seen enough, and was dizzy again.

In front of him is the glorious and powerful capital, the monarch wears a feather crown, and sees the courtiers of the class teacher returning to the dynasty from a distance on the city wall, so he quickly walks down the city tower to meet him, and leaves behind the civil ministers and military generals.

The general dismounted, and it was the king who helped him with his own hands.

The general glanced at the courtiers who came behind the king, bowed his head and knelt on one knee, "Weichen is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

Halfway, the king stopped the falling action, "Zitong and I don't have to be like this. ”

"Here I am still Jiuchen's general." The general insisted, bowing to the end.

"The queen is righteous!" The ministers exchanged praises.

The scene flashed again.

In the simple apse, the queen was lying on the bed with her hair scattered, and she was surprisingly thin. With the support of the maid, he sat up and leaned on the pillow, and slowly drank a bowl of thick medicinal juice.

This is her fiefdom, as a general who has fought for the country for more than ten years, her fief is very vast, and her property is surplus.

But so what? still can't escape people's birth, old age, sickness and death.

Left the battlefield alive, but was going to die in bed in pain at the age of standing here, knowing this, she would rather be shrouded in horse leather and die a happy death.

The queen looked at the dim bronze mirror, the candle flame flickering, and the scar on her cheek that had been cut from her ear was left by her first time on the battlefield.

At that time, he was young, and under the protection of his retainers and doctors, he barely survived and left his life, and then married the king, and fought in the south and north instead of the king, sweeping away the threat of the surrounding tribes and countries, expanding the territory of Jiuchen, and bringing more land and people. Finally, in his own hands, Jiuchen became the number one power in the world.

This is enough to be proud, although he was injured, he also kept his home and left a vast fief for his son.

When did you stop caring about the scars on your face and indulge in the battlefield wholeheartedly? Obviously she was also a little girl who loved beauty.

"Master, Wen Ji Niangniang came to visit you on behalf of the king, and she has already arrived in the hall to wait." The maidservant outside the door received a notice from the people in the outer courtyard, and knelt in front of the bed and whispered.

"Let her in."

……

"How did you lose weight like this, and how did the medical officer serve?" As soon as Wen Ji appeared, she saw that the other party was even weaker than she imagined, and she couldn't help but have a trace of pain in her tone.

"It's just a matter of life, and you don't have to implicate others." The queen coughed, and there was ominous meaning in her words.

"I don't have much time, so I just happened to be here, so I'll ask you something."

"You say, you will never shirk what you can." Wen Ji agreed in a deep voice.

"After my death, the fief has its own royal heir, and the king's heirs are busy with political affairs, so they must not care about him. You help me to take care of one or two, and if he doesn't listen, then look at his own creation. ”

"Yu'er is sensible, you can rest in peace, if you have anything to do, just tell me."

"I lost my childhood when I was young, and now I have saved such a big family business, he is a little older than I was back then, and with the help of the scribes and generals I left, whether he can keep it depends on his ability."

"I made a note of it."

"In addition, the funeral is simple, you don't have to find a priest to count the days, how many sacrifices have I presided over myself, but it's just a fool! The coffin was sealed for three days and immediately put into the ground, and there was no ceremony. ”

"Uh...... Be. I will tell the king the truth. Wen Ji obviously disapproved in her eyes, and the world advocated that death was like life, and funerals were particularly valued.

In order to enjoy the wealth and glory of their lives after their deaths, some princes and kings even did not hesitate to empty their fiefs to build the most gorgeous mausoleums.

And the queen's life has been hard enough, but she treats herself like this, what do you want?

But she still nodded in agreement, she has known each other for many years, and she knows this person's temper and will never compromise.

Adjust the position of the queen's pillow so that she can lie down more comfortably.

"Okay, your fiefdom is busy, and you have to take care of the grain and agriculture for the king, don't spend it here." The queen covered her mouth and nose and coughed twice, and her throat could not swallow the fishy breath.

After a pause, "I'll see you one last time when I'm mourning." ”

Wen Ji's face was gloomy, and she was silent for a while, and then said, "Is it worth it?" Make yourself look like this? ”

"In such a small place as the harem, there are no branches to perch on, so I have to be self-reliant. Aren't you the same, getting up early and working late every day to manage farming and managing the grain depot, isn't it just for the power in your hands and your life in your own hands. The queen replied to her lightly.

"Yes, it's just that I'm a little luckier than you and don't have to fight for my life on the battlefield." Wen Ji was a little lucky, but also a little sad.

The picture turns again, in winter, the sky is full of snow.

The queen was in great mourning, and the king was so grief-stricken that he ordered a large-scale funeral, and summoned craftsmen from all over the country to build a mausoleum for the queen and make funeral goods to express his grief.

There are more than 3,000 pieces of gold and silver utensils, lacquerware and jade, ceramic jewelry, and silk cloth, and they are buried in the tomb together with the queen's armor and weapons.

The most conspicuous thing in it is the giant tripod that the best craftsmen ordered by the king to spend half a year to build, on which are written the great achievements of the queen and her own grief.

Meimei's eyes lit up, and she didn't care about the mourning of the general queen, so she was attracted by the newly released Juding.

Perhaps, that's the key!
