Lingyuan Fengqi Chapter 624 The Wife of the God of the Forest
There is no need for them to go to Jiang Nanyu at all, as long as they find Ji You and Chen Si and gather five Dan talismans, Jiang Nanyu will naturally come to the door.
They are going to Biyou Country to find Chen Si and Ji You now, and they don't know if Chen Si has found Ji You after leaving the Immortal Silk Country.
"If we get around the Misty Forest from here, we can save a lot of time." Lu Ran looked at the map and asked, if they go to Biyou Country, if they can pass through the middle of the misty forest, they can just avoid the miasma belt, and then directly reach the territory of Biyou Country, which can save a lot of time.
It's just that the Misty Forest has always been a very mysterious and dangerous place, and few people have set foot on it.
"Yuan Meng once said before that the reason why it is difficult for people to get out of the misty forest is because as long as people enter it, they will lose their sense of direction, and the tools to guide the direction will not work." Lu Ran had entered the Misty Forest once before, and felt that this place was not as terrifying as the legend said.
And the biggest danger in the misty forest is those mysterious beasts, the mysterious beasts living here are much more powerful than the mysterious beasts in the outside world, I don't know if it's because there are beast tamers living here.
Lu Ran felt that she could go to the misty forest to take a look, maybe she could also meet Yuanmeng, after separating from her in the imperial capital last time, Lu Ran was also very curious about what her life was like.
"You used to dislike going to such dangerous places, but now you're interested in them." Sun Tiantian asked curiously, Lu Ran is the person who is most afraid of trouble, if it was before, she would definitely prefer to take a detour than walk from this place.
Lu Ran smiled and didn't speak, but Tuan Tuan looked worried.
It could feel Lu Ran's vitality passing little by little, and her body was rapidly collapsing.
The reason why he chose the Misty Forest was because Lu Ran hoped that he could die here quietly alone, not to let Li Moxuan see his death, the terrain of the Misty Forest was complicated, as long as he could find an opportunity, he would immediately disappear in front of Li Moxuan.
Thinking that she and Li Moxuan couldn't see each other at the moment, her heart hurt terribly.
Li Moxuan will also be sad, but this kind of pain is better than seeing him die in front of him, Lu Ran has felt that his body has been worse day by day since he was injured, and it is difficult for him to suppress the power from Jiangnan rain now.
She now feels uncomfortable even when she walks.
In order to prevent Li Moxuan and the others from noticing the abnormality, Lu Ran was completely supporting it with willpower.
Li Moxuan glanced at Lu Ran deeply and said, "Since this is the case, it is not impossible for us to choose this path, let's go." ”
Sun Tiantian still wanted to say something, Shen Kaixiao gestured not to speak, Sun Tiantian swallowed back the words she wanted to say, she looked at Lu Ran and felt a little like crying.
When leaving from the Immortal Silk Country, Li Moxuan specially asked Lan Yun for a particularly comfortable carriage, the carriage was nothing special from the outside, but the interior was particularly luxurious, the felt was woven with the softest hair under the belly of the Red Soul sheep, and it was as comfortable as lying on it as if it was in the clouds.
Lu Ran also joked that when did Li Moxuan start to know how to enjoy it, Li Moxuan didn't answer, but personally hugged Lu Ran into the carriage.
As long as you climb the mountain in front of you is the Misty Forest, which is the place where Shikoku meets, although the Misty Forest is very mysterious, but the surrounding land is fertile, and many people live, and the war some time ago has also affected here, and the usually bustling and lively market has become very depressed, and there are many fewer people who come and go to trade.
"Let's stop at the front and rest." Shen Kai said with a smile, the last town in front of it, and the misty forest in the back, if you don't rest here, there is nowhere else to stop.
When Lu Ran got out of the car, Li Moxuan handed her hand, Lu Ran paused, put his hand on Li Moxuan's palm and walked down.
Now that business is bleak, so many guests can come, the owner of the inn is naturally happy to death, and hurriedly greeted him warmly.
Shen Kaixiao tasted the food here, the taste here really didn't match the taste of their Sunset Country, to put it simply, it was unpalatable.
"I'm sorry, our cook, I didn't do it a few days ago, and it's all to blame for this war." The boss sighed, he heard that the cook's family was from the Fairy Silk Kingdom, and his family was dead, so he had to go back to collect the bones of his family, "Why do you want to fight, we people, it's enough to be well fed and clothed." ”
Because they really couldn't eat the food made by the boss himself, so Shen Kaixiao personally cooked a big meal, and when several people were eating, Lu Ran suddenly heard a burst of crying.
"Who's crying?" Lu Ran asked.
The boss looked embarrassed, and there seemed to be something unspeakable.
"This is my daughter, she was chosen to give to the god of the forest, and I, as a father, have no other way than if I don't want to."
This is the tradition of choosing a girl of the right age as an offering in the event of war or famine, and it is said that if you send the girl to the Misty Forest, you will be rewarded with peace and a good harvest.
Although the boss was reluctant to give up his daughter, legend has it that the girl who was chosen as a sacrifice was sent to the Misty Forest to become the wife of the god of the forest and live happily ever after.
"In that case, why is she crying?" It sounds like a good story, but what the hell is the girl crying about?
"A few people are from other places, don't ask about our affairs, the dishes are ready, you can use them slowly." The boss didn't seem to want to say too much, so he helped bring all the food and left in a hurry.
Lu Ran barely ate something, the food was delicious, but she really didn't have much appetite, she picked up the dishes, and then secretly handed them to Tuan Tuan to eat, pretending as if she had been eating.
"What is the god of the forest, how have I never heard of it?" Sun Tiantian looked curious.
"I guess it's a sacrificial ritual, but it's actually a human sacrifice." In the past, it was common to pray for the blessing of heaven with human sacrifices in many places, and later the king decreed that such activities were forbidden, but now that the situation is so chaotic, who cares about this.
If the maidens who went to the sacrifice became the wives of the god of the forest, then there would be too many wives of the god of the forest.
Instead of praying to the gods for their favor, they should find a way to solve the situation themselves, they all know that the gods have long since disappeared.
