Chapter 102: Princess Yuanfeng's Mission
"Your Majesty, you sealed these villagers and summoned me individually, do you have any new plans? Is something bad happening in our Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom? ”
Ye Rong followed Princess Yuanfeng to the stele, glanced at the motionless villagers in the distance, and then at Princess Yuanfeng, who was a little anxious, and asked worriedly.
Princess Yuanfeng gently stroked the stone tablet and recalled with some sadness:
"That's right, something did happen to our Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom, since twenty years ago, my father led his troops to fight the demons in the Moon Palace, and there has been no news back to the Liansheng Kingdom. Before the war, he sent me a message asking me to find an entrance to the ruins of the Lotus Kingdom, and said that if he had not heard from him for ten consecutive years, he would let me take over the throne and lead a small number of troops and people lurking in the Lotus Kingdom, and I must find a way to enter the ruins.
"As long as I don't get the treasure of Zhenguo for a day, I won't be allowed to leave the ruins of Liansheng Kingdom for a day. During this period, no matter what bad news you hear about the Moon Palace and the Immortal Kingdom, don't act rashly, let alone rush to the Moon Palace to find him. Therefore, now that I have found the entrance to the ruins, I will enter the ruins with my army and my people to find the treasure of the town and country that my father asked me to find.
"And your task is to help me secretly guard the entrance to the ruins in this stele, and don't let anyone destroy this stele until I come out. Then help me continue to take care of Princess Shuang'er, since she has a crush, help them get married as soon as possible, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of my brother's last wish.
"As for this little Qing'er and her father, they also expressed their willingness to live with me in the ruins, and they didn't want to live with that pampered lady in the mortal world. What's more, if the woman knew that their father and daughter were actually golden-crowned black-tailed frogs, she would definitely not accept them, so it was better to say goodbye.
"This stone tablet will display the five characters of the ruins of the Lotus Country in the near future, and I will not be able to close this entrance until the troops and people of our Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom who are lurking in the Lotus Country enter one after another. And I have added a special ban to this entrance, only people with the bloodline of the golden-crowned black-tailed frog can enter, and other mortals can't enter.
"So you don't have to worry about the villagers of Yanjia Village accidentally entering, as long as you don't let Shuang'er come here. Just let her live a good life with her husband in the mortal world. If one day, these five words start to become blurred, it is the day when the entrance is about to close, and when it completely changes back to Yanjia Village, it will be completely closed. Then you won't have to guard it.
"Alright, Hongu is leaving. When I leave, the villagers' seals will be lifted automatically. There shouldn't be another petrification curse crisis in Yanjia Village within two years, but the petrification curse on your body has been broken, but the curse of Yanjia Village's sinking and flooding is still there. If you want to completely dissolve this curse and keep Yanjia Village, you still need to work your own. That's all I can help you, and the rest is up to your creation. ”
After Princess Yuanfeng said this, she turned into a golden-crowned black-tailed frog and entered the stele, and Xiao Qing'er, who was playing with her father on the ground, also followed her father and disappeared into the stele.
When Yerong returned to Yuan Xunshuang, the villagers' seals were lifted.
So except for Ye Rong who knew the truth, the other villagers didn't know that Princess Yuanfeng had been here, and they all thought that the petrification curse of Yanjia Village had been completely lifted.
However, the old village chief, who has always been cautious and steady, always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why, so he had to give up.
However, he still reminded everyone loudly that before he investigated why the stele became the five words "Ruins of the Lotus Kingdom", he advised all the villagers to stay away from the stele as much as possible to avoid accidents.
For the old village chief's kind reminder, the villagers have said that they must abide by it, because over the years, the old village chief's prudence and carefulness have prevented many hidden crises in Yanjia Village, so everyone still respects the old village chief's opinion.
After listening to the old village chief's reminder and seeing that the villagers had no objections, Ye Rong was also secretly relieved, so that Princess Yuanfeng's task to her became stress-free.
Now that the crisis has been resolved, the villagers are shouting wildly, and after celebrating their new life, they are all returning home one after another.
After all, the house was flooded before, and there are still many things to do, as for the villagers whose houses collapsed, they still need to rebuild their homes, and they have no intention of staying at the entrance of the village.
By the time the villagers were almost gone, only Yuan Xunshuang and Yerong were left near the stele, as well as smoke and fire.
Yan Wuhuo stared at the stele for a long time in some disbelief, and then turned around and went home.
The reason why Yan Wuhuo is so sad in his heart is mainly because his imperial grandfather once appeared in this stone tablet, which has special commemorative significance for him.
However, now that the stele has inexplicably changed even the words, how can it not make him sad.
And Ye Rong naturally sympathized with him deeply after seeing Yan Wuhuo's actions, and she could understand him.
Only Yuan Xunshuang felt a little puzzled, that is, she didn't understand why Yan Wuhuo stared at this stone tablet so sadly, as if something important to him had been lost.
If it was Yan Mingxuan, the young man that Yuan Xunshuang had seen, and made such a move, maybe she would still understand.
After all, this Yan Mingxuan has a deep relationship with this stone stele, otherwise he would not have drunk in front of the stone stele at midnight.
And although Yan Wuhuo is Yan Mingxuan's uncle, he is an ordinary mortal at first glance, how can he see the extraordinaryness of the stone stele?
Inadvertently, she thought of Yan Mingxuan again, and she didn't know when he would be able to return to Yanjia Village.
If she hadn't been so frustrated when she saw Yan Wuhuo, she couldn't help but step forward just now to ask when Yan Mingxuan would be able to come back.
After watching the lonely back of Yan Wuhuo get farther and farther away, Ye Rong and Yuan Xunshuang also went home.
That night, Yuan Xunshuang tossed and turned, and had no intention of sleeping.
The same is true for Yerong.
It also includes living alone without fire, and also drinking stuffy wine under an oil lamp alone.
At midnight that night, some uninvited guests came one after another at the entrance of the silent Yanjia Village.
The bodies of these uninvited guests are very small, the size of a human fist, and they look like frogs, but they are not frogs.
They are naturally the soldiers and people of the Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom lurking in the Lotus Country as Princess Yuanfeng said.
When these golden-crowned black-tailed frogs came to the stele less than a foot in front of them, they saw that among the five big characters of "Liansheng Country Ruins" on the stele, the small dot in the word "country" would automatically shoot out beams of golden light, accurately shooting into the eyebrows of these golden-crowned black-tailed frogs.
Then these golden-crowned black-tailed frogs burst out with a golden light all over their bodies, and then they all disappeared.
In this way, batch after batch of golden-crowned black-tailed frogs entered the stone monument, and the villagers in Yanjia Village were not aware of this.
Only Ye Rong sensitively felt the breath of the same bloodline, which appeared for a while, and disappeared again for a while.
She didn't have to go to the entrance of the village to see, and she knew that it should be those golden-crowned black-tailed frogs who were summoned by Princess Yuanfeng and came one after another.
For Ye Rong, there is no need to worry that other villagers will go to the stone monument in the middle of the night, after all, at night in this desert village, there are often wild beasts and poisonous insects passing by, and even packs of wild wolves have even appeared, so it is better to sleep at home safely.
The only thing she needs to watch is Yuan Xunshuang who sleeps in the room next to her, lest she can't sleep, in case she goes to the entrance of the village, inadvertently enters the stone tablet, and goes to the ruins of Liansheng Kingdom, she will live up to Princess Yuanfeng's hard work.
Towards the end of the midnight ugly hour, Ye Rong heard that Yuan Xunshuang next door no longer turned over repeatedly, and finally confirmed that she should be asleep, so she was relieved to fall asleep too.
About an hour or so later, Yuan Xunshuang was awakened again by the high temperature emitted by the birthmark in his palm!
She instinctively sat up, looking expectantly at the green light emitted by her palm, and sure enough, the picture of the stone monument at the entrance of the village appeared again, and not far in front of the stone monument, a man was lying on the ground with a wine bottle in his hand.
Obviously, this man seems to be really drunk, unlike what he saw in front of the stone monument last time, but lying on the ground.
Suddenly, Yuan Xunshuang was a little worried about this man, although the other party was lying on the ground and couldn't see his appearance clearly, but Yuan Xunshuang had an intuition that the other party was Yan Mingxuan.
It's just that Yuan Xunshuang is a little puzzled, during the day, Yan Wuhuo clearly said that he went back to a nearby big town, why did he come back so soon?
But after thinking about it, the other party is not an ordinary mortal, maybe he has some kind of special ability, maybe he can fly quickly, so it makes sense to come back now.
Since it was him, and he was drunk like this, Yuan Xunshuang naturally couldn't stand by and watch.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xunshuang quickly got up, got dressed, and tiptoed out of the house.
The whole process didn't alarm Aunt Yerong next door at all.
As soon as he got out of the courtyard gate, Yuan Xunshuang quickly ran towards the entrance of the village.
When she came to the man at the entrance of the village and saw the other party's appearance clearly, she was surprised!
It turned out that it was smoke and no fire lying on the ground!
Although he was a little disappointed for Yuan Xunshuang, he was Yan Mingxuan's uncle after all, and Yan Mingxuan was not in Yanjia Village, so she should help Yan Wuhuo with reason.
So Yuan Xunshuang naturally couldn't let Yan Wuhuo continue to lie on the ground, so he decisively decided to help him up and then send him home.
Just when she was about to help him, she heard a sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo" behind her, she instinctively looked back, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat!
I saw a dense group of poisonous snakes swimming towards her not far away, and stopped when they came to a distance of less than a kilometer from her.
The snake at the head was like a snake king, about a foot long, with a thick bowl mouth, and half of its body was raised up, with a slender tongue in its mouth, staring at her and Yan Wuhuo lying on the ground.
For a while, Yuan Xunshuang didn't know what to do......
