Chapter 077: Prelude to the Coming Storm
Listening to the conversation between Prince Xiaomuren and Ling Fox Charm, Jun Buyu's heart also rippled.
Because although he knew that he was the little prince of the Lotus Kingdom, and he also knew that Yanyu was the Lotus Born Heavenly Maiden who participated in the Heavenly Pregnancy, he didn't know that he was still the rare Lotus Born Heavenly Son for ten thousand years.
So when he heard the little wooden prince mention that the Lotus Birth Heavenly Maiden and the Lotus Born Heavenly Son were a match made in heaven, his heart suddenly became a little lost, and it seemed that what he cared about in his heart was getting farther and farther away from him in an instant.
At that moment, he knew that he seemed to like this cute girl named Yanyu, but he was just a down-and-out prince, and now that the dynasty had changed, he was actually reduced to an ordinary person.
Even to put it mildly, he was still a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and he had to live incognito.
After all, the new emperor will never allow the descendants of the previous dynasty to live in the world, and every time the dynasty changes, the new king will inevitably cut down the remnants of the previous dynasty and eradicate the roots, otherwise these remnants will come back again, and they will be plotting for more than ten years, and it is not impossible to recapture the country again.
So for Jun Buyu, if he can't recapture the country, then he will never be able to show his true face, and he will always be an insignificant poor people, so how can he be qualified to climb the Yanyu, the lotus born goddess.
Moreover, he just heard from the little wooden prince that the Lotus Born Heavenly Maiden was destined to marry the Lotus Born Son, otherwise he would be retributed, and he didn't know that he was the Lotus Born Son, so he thought that he was not destined for this marriage.
But at this moment, when I heard the little wooden prince talk about it, it was not the lotus born son and it was not completely impossible to marry Yanyu, and he also saw hope again, so he was also like a fox charm, with a look of anticipation, waiting for the little wooden prince to continue, a very cute girl's voice suddenly sounded behind them:
"What are you doing? Why are there so many cute bamboos? And the ones with arms and legs, it's fun. Hee-hee. By the way, it's almost time, and the adults will wake up in a while, so let's take our places, so as not to frighten the villagers. ”
"Smoke and rain? Worst! Is it almost time? Ling Fox Mei asked with a change in her face when she saw clearly that the little baby girl who spoke was Yanyu.
It turned out that Yanyu rushed back from the fairy tomb, and the fairy tomb where she was would automatically send her out every night when it was almost time, so once Yanyu came back, it meant that the time was about to end.
When Yanyu left the fairy tomb and was about to fly back to the cave to find Mrs. Yan, he happened to see a dense crowd of small wooden people gathered outside the cave, so he flew over curiously, and when he saw the appearance of the little wooden man clearly, and saw the little wooden prince talking to Ling Fox Charm, he couldn't help but ask.
It's just that at first, she didn't notice Jun Buyu, who was covered in ice, because it was dark at that time, and the little wooden prince, as well as Ling Fox Charm and Jun Buyu, who was incarnated as a black-tailed leafhopper, were all standing on the frozen lake, and Jun Buyu's size was too large, so it was not as conspicuous as Ling Fox Charm, and when she inadvertently raised her head to see Jun Buyu clearly, she said in surprise:
"Huh? Big guy who can't even remember who he is, you're there too? Do you remember who you are? Didn't you say okay, let you come to the fairy tomb to chat with me when you have time? Why didn't you come? ”
"Oh, my memories are good and bad, I haven't fully remembered who I am, I've been trying to find lost memories recently, and I've been traveling a lot, I'm tired, and your immortal tomb hasn't also moved here from Yanjia Village? So I haven't had time to see you yet. When this time is over, I will go to see you. ”
Jun Buyu didn't expect to be here, seeing Yanyu again with such an image, he was suddenly a little nervous, and quickly explained incoherently.
"You two actually know each other?" Seeing that Yanyu actually knew Bing Wushui in his mind, Ling Fox Charm also asked in confusion.
"Oh, I'm resurrected, but I'm not amnesia. So one day ago, when I picked up your jade pendant in Yanjia Village, I didn't know what was going on, so I accidentally broke into the immortal tomb, and I only saw Yanyu once, and then I never saw it again. By the way, because my old injuries have not healed, I have to find a clean place to heal for a period of time at this hour every few days, otherwise my memory will be more serious, so let's do it, it's almost dawn, everyone is gone, right? I'll come back to you later. In order to avoid making the fox charm suspicious, Jun Buyu quickly clarified, diverted the topic again, and wanted to slip away.
Because the time is about to end, he must quickly find a place where no one is, turn back into a baby, and then fly back to Nalan Qiqing's arms, otherwise he will reveal the secret of his transformation into a black-tailed leafhopper.
"Then there will be a period later, our little wooden people will only wake up when they are in this ruin, and they will also change back to the state of real bamboo during the day, so we will also withdraw, and we will continue to talk if we have a chance." Farewell. ”
As soon as the little wooden prince heard that the time was over, his face changed, and he hurriedly said a word, and took all the little wooden people back to the deep valley.
At this time, the frozen lake where they were was also beginning to melt, and it was obvious that the time was really about to end, so Yanyu turned his head and flew towards the cave, and Ling Fox Charm had no choice but to fly towards the cave after taking a deep look at Jun Buyu.
Jun Buyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was left alone on the surface of the lake, and then quickly turned around and flew towards a dark wood, and when he was sure that no one could see him, he quickly recited Sanskrit silently, and turned back into a baby.
Then he also struggled to fly towards the cave, but fortunately, Yanyu and Linghu Mei didn't care about the surrounding situation, and only cared about flying to their respective positions, so Jun Buyu flew back to Nalan Qiqing unconsciously, and as soon as he got into her arms, he lost consciousness, because the time was just over.
At dawn, the three of them turned back into ordinary babies, while the old village chief and all the other villagers gradually woke up.
When he opened his eyes, the old village chief realized that he had fallen asleep again last night when he was telling everyone his story from three hundred years ago.
He also felt very strange about this, he found that recently, including when he was in the desert, it was the same, every day from midnight to midnight, he and the whole village would fall asleep at the same time, and when he woke up, every time it happened to be the end of the midnight.
Although every time he woke up, he wanted to investigate all this, but he had no way to investigate during the day, and at night he would lose all consciousness as soon as he arrived, so he wanted to investigate but was not enough.
At this moment, the other villagers also woke up one after another, and they all talked about it with an unfinished expression:
"Wow! The story of the old village chief last night was so amazing that I was fascinated by it. Unfortunately, somehow, I fell asleep. I don't even hear it behind this. Did you listen? What's going on? ”
"Hey! I was asleep too, and I didn't hear the rest of the story, so I said that if any of you have listened to it all, tell me about it. ”
"Yes, yes, I'm asleep too, I haven't heard of it yet, who listened, let's talk about it quickly."
"What's the matter? It seems that everyone hasn't listened to the story of the old village chief? ”
"What's so strange about that? You forget, during this time, it seems that everyone will fall asleep as soon as they arrive, and if I guess correctly, the old village chief should also be asleep, so no one can hear the rest of the story last night, because the old village chief didn't tell it at all. Unbelief? Then you ask the old village chief to go! ”
"I believe it, because I also found out about this problem, it stands to reason that I will get up once or twice at night, but now I haven't gotten up for a while, and every time I sleep until dawn, it's really strange!"
"Old village chief, your story last night was very good, but as soon as it came to the critical moment, we all fell asleep. Can you continue tonight? ”
"Yes, yes, the old village chief will continue to talk tonight, we all love to hear it."
……
"That's right, I fell asleep last night, just like everyone else, so the story didn't go on later, so let's do it, now we still have a very important thing to do during the day, that is, to enter the deep valley and start to rebuild the home, and when everyone rests in the evening, I'll continue to tell my story, okay!" The old village chief stood up and said loudly.
"Good! Listen to the old village chief! Come, everyone hurry up, clean up briefly, we will follow the old village chief down the deep valley, and rebuild the house as soon as possible, so that we don't have to live in a cave. A villager stood up and responded positively.
"Well, considering that the original bamboo huts in the deep valley are in disrepair, not a day or two, they can be completely repaired, and, as far as I know, there is no cave in the deep valley, and it is impossible to spend the night at night, so I think that the old and young women and children are still all left in the cave, and most of the young and strong men will go down with me to rebuild their homes during the day, leaving a small part to protect the cave, and by the way fishing in the water, and some hares or something, everyone can eat a little better at night, we are busy at the bottom of the valley until it gets dark, or return to this cave for the night, When the bamboo houses are all repaired, how about we move in together? ”
The old village chief thought for a while and said.
"It's still the old village chief who thinks thoughtfully, and I fully support it!"
"I'm okay too!"
"Listen to the old village chief! I support it too! ”
……
The villagers agreed with the old village chief's arrangement, and then counted the number of people, and after eating a little bit, the old village chief took most of the young and middle-aged men and walked along the mountain road to the deep valley.
Not long after the old village chief and they left, the old and young women and children all left the cave and came to the lake, some began to wash clothes, and some took young babies to bask in the sun, such as Nalan Qiqing, Mrs. Yan and Ling Fox Charm's nurse, they hugged Jun Buyu, Yan Yu and Ling Fox Charm were basking in the sun and chatting, and the slightly older children also played hide and seek.
As for the few young men who stayed behind to protect the old and young women and children, they were divided into three groups and patrolled back and forth to prevent any beasts from suddenly appearing and injuring the children.
The other two groups went into the woods to hunt and the fish in the lake with fishing nets, and everything was so orderly and warm that nothing bad could happen at all.
However, no one noticed that in the lake, there was a huge black shadow slowly swimming towards the water......
