Chapter 004: The Princess of the Divine Bird Empire
Although Liu Hanfeng is a modern person, he also understands the majesty and rules of the ancient royal family, that is, ordinary people must kneel and worship when they see anything that represents the royal family, and at least they must dodge three feet, otherwise they will definitely die without a place to bury the royal people.
Fortunately, the white fog around him was filled, and the ancient clothes he was wearing were basically white, which was not easy to be discovered by the royal guards in the distance, so Liu Hanfeng had an idea, and simply quickly lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
He quietly covered his face and hands and feet with other clothes on the ground, and his body curled up, and when he looked at it, he thought it was a pile of clothes, anyway, there were some clothes scattered by the river, as long as no one came forward to check, he should not be found.
Liu Hanfeng just lay quietly, his eyes peeking at the river through the gap in the clothes covering his head, and at present, he could only wait for the boat to pass before trying to find a way to get out of here.
Who knew that when the dragon boat sailed to the river near him, it actually slowly leaned towards the shore, it seemed that the people on the boat were going to land here, and then Liu Hanfeng's heart was raised again, because he was worried that once the people on the boat landed here, he might be discovered.
It didn't take long for Liu Hanfeng to peek through the gap in his narrow clothes and see that the dragon boat had not completely docked, and several royal guards flew up in the air and landed on the shore vigilantly patrolling, knowing that what he was worried about had still happened.
Liu Hanfeng, who was very helpless, had to hold his breath as much as possible, quietly closed the gap in the clothes that was originally used for peeping, and then listened to the movement outside motionlessly, he knew in his heart that if he accidentally alarmed the royal guards outside now, it was very likely that he would be shot on the spot as an assassin.
When the dragon boat was completely docked and stopped, more guards jumped off the dragon boat, and Liu Hanfeng, who was hiding under his clothes, judged that the royal guards had completely imposed martial law on this part of the shore according to the constant sound of footsteps.
When all the footsteps were quiet, Liu Hanfeng heard a very respectful man's voice coming from the boat: "Qiyu Snow Princess, the boat has docked, there are some stowaways' clothes on the shore, which are dirty, please wait for a while, and then burn these clothes at the end, clean up the scene, and then ask the princess to get off the boat." ”
"General Lin, no need, keep it, this palace is also the first time to go out of the palace to visit the moat, and I have never seen the clothes of a stowaway, so it's time to see it." What's more, when I left the palace without permission this time, it was my mother who helped me hide it from my father, so it was not appropriate to stay for a long time. A very soft female voice came from the cabin.
"The last will obey." General Lin replied respectfully again. Then he turned to the guards and ordered, "The dragon ladder waits, welcome the snow princess." ”
"Welcome Snow Princess!" The sound of kneeling sounded, accompanied by a neat slogan.
"Get up, Ling'er, help Bengong get off the boat." Snow Princess said as she stepped out of the cabin.
"Yes, Snow Princess." Another crisp, respectful woman's voice replied.
"Princess Xie Xue." The guards shouted in unison again.
Then there was a sound of footsteps and the boat shaking slightly, obviously some people were disembarking, although they couldn't see the situation on the ship, Liu Hanfeng also knew from the sound that the boat was a princess.
At this moment, Liu Hanfeng, who was hiding under a pile of torn clothes, could only secretly pray to God to bless this snow princess to leave quickly after a casual look, don't come on a whim to check the clothes carefully, he is likely to be exposed.
However, if Liu Hanfeng really saw this princess at this time, he would not think so, not only would he not want the princess to leave, but he would even rush up to see the princess in ecstasy.
Because this princess is none other than Jing Ruxue, who Liu Hanfeng thought about for a long time, and Jing Ruxue ordered the maids and guards to stand by after getting off the boat, and slowly walked to the pile of clothes where Liu Hanfeng was hiding, staring at one of the modern people's clothes, and his expression was extremely sad and fell into memory......
It turns out that Jing Ruxue was originally a person born in Elysium, because every person born in Elysium has a companion bird of paradise, if this person becomes an adult, the bird of paradise can be promoted to a divine bird through the baptism of the Imperial City of Elysium Divine Spring, you can follow the divine bird to leave Elysium and live on other planets, so this Elysium also has a very nice name - Divine Bird Empire.
And Jing Ruxue also has a special identity - the princess of the Divine Bird Empire, her real name is Nangong Ruxue, her father's name is Nangong Tian, she is the only emperor since the founding of the Divine Bird Empire, and she is also known as the Nangong Emperor by the world, and her mother's name is Liu Yixue, who is the queen of the Divine Bird Empire.
Although Emperor Nangong has a group of wives and concubines, the only person he loves the most is Liu Yixue, so he named their only daughter Ruxue, hoping that his daughter will grow up in the future, be as gentle and virtuous as her mother, and have the mind and bearing of a mother.
Nangong Ruxue also has a younger brother, named Nangong Qianmo, who is one solar year younger than her, the so-called solar year is very different from the year on the earth, the year on the earth refers to the time when the earth revolves around the sun, and the solar year refers to the time when the sun revolves around the center of the entire galaxy.
The year on Earth is 365 days, and the year on the sun is equivalent to 250 million years if converted to Earth years, which is an incredible thing for earthlings, because no one can live hundreds of millions of years without dying.
However, in the Divine Bird Empire inside the sun, because time is static, all things are immortal, and they will never die unless they are injured or killed by human or accidental injuries.
People born in the Divine Bird Empire have no difference in appearance from earthlings, but the cell structure in their bodies is completely different from that of earthlings, and these humans don't need time to grow up and move, so the humans here are not like people on earth, once time stands still, they can't move, or even survive.
Since the human beings here are completely unconstrained by time, they can live forever as long as they don't die, as for the appearance of youth or old age, soon after birth, as long as they have their own independent thinking, they can control the aging of their appearance by taking the elixir made by solid time, they can always be a child, or they can be a gray-haired old man, everything depends on their personal preferences.
Therefore, in the Divine Bird Empire, it is impossible to judge a person's true age just by their appearance, because any inconspicuous child is likely to be an old man who has lived for hundreds of millions of years.
It is precisely because the life span of the people of the Divine Bird Empire is too long, so many people who are not willing to be bland, especially those who have pure bloodline Bird of Paradise, will enter the Imperial City to let their companion bird accept the baptism of the Divine Spring, once they obtain the canonization of the first-grade Divine Bird, they can follow the Divine Bird to leave the Divine Bird Empire and go to other planets to live a completely different life.
It's just that once you leave the Divine Bird Empire, you can't come back, because after the Divine Bird helps its master leave the Divine Bird Empire, the original Divine Race bloodline has degenerated into an ordinary bloodline, and it has become an ordinary bird of paradise, and there is no superpower that can travel through the universe to other planets.
And after these people went to other planets, they also lost the ability to live forever, because except for the Divine Bird Empire, time on other planets could not be still, so after these people went, although they lived longer than ordinary people on those planets, it was generally difficult to exceed three hundred years old.
Most of these people accepted this result and accepted the fate of dying on other planets, but a few regretted it, because these people were unwilling to die like this.
So they use crooked ways and even evil magic to reactivate the divine bird bloodline of the bird of paradise, which is extremely cruel, that is, to feed the bird of paradise every day with the blood of living people, especially the blood of children under the age of eight.
Feeding like this for about twenty years, there is a 1 in 1,000 chance that it can reactivate the bloodline of the Bird of Paradise Divine Clan, but this activation is short-lived, and when this reactivated Divine Bird sends its owner back to the Divine Bird Empire inside the sun, it will immediately turn into a cloud of blood mist and die.
And the people who come to the Divine Bird Empire in this way are usually called stowaways, because these people have lost the Divine Bird, they have no legal identity in the Divine Bird Empire, and their status is extremely lowly, so they need to find the companion bird of the lost owner in the shortest possible time.
The so-called companion bird of the mourning owner, refers to the companion bird after the accidental death of the owner, although people in the Divine Bird Empire can live forever, but there are still many people who die unexpectedly every day.
After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are strife and desires, and with greed, people will do whatever it takes, killing people and setting fires, robbing homes and houses, and even revenge and hatred and other disputes are inevitable.
Once the owner dies, the companion bird usually does not live alone and will stay with the owner until starvation. Some people who can't even find the owner's corpse will choose the extreme way of suicide.
Of course, this is only limited to the companion birds of ordinary bloodline, as well as the companion birds below the canonization of the first-grade divine bird, if the owner of the first-grade divine bird dies unexpectedly, according to the laws of the divine bird empire, the divine bird can have one time, and the only time to choose a new master, and start a new life.
After all, the companion birds that can be canonized as a first-class divine bird are also extremely rare, and these divine birds have fully possessed the mature thinking of normal people, except that they are a bird on the outside, they are not much different from people, and these birds are usually extremely smart, and even more intelligent than most people, so the Nangong Emperor of the Divine Bird Empire is also in love, so he issued a law to give these divine birds a chance to choose their masters again.
But if the re-chosen owner dies again, then the sacred bird will only be buried with death. Therefore, every lost owner will cherish this only opportunity to choose the owner again, and if you choose the wrong master, it is very likely that the owner will die prematurely because the master is not strong enough.
The so-called soul contract refers to the process of merging the soul of the new owner and the soul of the companion bird, which requires that the new owner must have no companion bird and is on the verge of death, and the timing must be just right to fully integrate and complete the entire contract process.
Once the soul contract is completed, even if the new master's body is almost destroyed, under the activation of the divine bird's bloodline, it can be restored, which is why Liu Hanfeng suddenly resurrected the moment his body was burned at the same time as the spaceship burned down.
That's because the little bird that called itself the little prince happened to be a lost bird, because at the moment when Liu Hanfeng was about to burn to death, the contract process with his soul was completed.
It's just that what Liu Hanfeng didn't know was that in fact, the Yipin Divine Bird didn't come to save him on purpose, it was just in a bad mood after losing its owner, and it was alone on the surface of the sun, who knew that it would encounter a spaceship that suddenly malfunctioned.
When the escape pod suddenly popped out, the loud sound completely frightened the little prince, and the little prince, who wanted to leave in a panic, happened to pass by the place where Liu Hanfeng's spaceship was burned to ashes, and hit the head of Liu Hanfeng, who was burning all over his body, and saved Liu Hanfeng by mistake, and used up his only chance to choose his master again in a daze.
For the little prince, who has always been pretentious, extremely face-loving, and looked down on by anyone, the new master who has always dreamed of it must at least have relatives of the emperor, so that it can also raise its head in front of other sacred birds, and it will be able to live a beautiful life in the future.
Who knew that after it reacted, it found that it had completed the soul contract with Liu Hanfeng, and it didn't know anything about Liu Hanfeng's identity, and it met it on the surface of the sun, so it naturally suspected that Liu Hanfeng was a despicable stowaway, and when it thought that it actually had an unknown stowaway as its owner, not to mention how frustrated it was.
That's why the little prince treated Liu Hanfeng coldly, looked like he loved to ignore him, and finally separated from him. Of course, Liu Hanfeng, as the person concerned, doesn't know this, and everything can only be asked the next time he sees the little prince.
And at the moment, Liu Hanfeng is still in a crisis, because Nangong Ruxue, who was standing near him, staring at the modern clothes on the ground, and was sad and deep in thought, did not mean to leave for a long time, but Liu Hanfeng was already numb all over his body, and his body was almost curled up and couldn't support it......
