Chapter 78: Totem Pixiu
"The high priest betrayed the queen, the queen was seriously injured and fled, the four protectors of wind, rain, thunder and lightning are missing, the royal family is about to change, everyone be careful, don't go out to ...... these days."
As soon as this voice came out, it immediately spread around at an explosive speed, and the boss, who was still smiling just now, changed his face all of a sudden, and hurriedly went out to see what was going on, and he was not even in the mood to collect our money.
Thinking about it, I can also understand the current mood of the boss, who is not panicking in his heart when he was in a peaceful and quiet day, and suddenly, someone betrayed their queen.
But that's okay, it's still beneficial for me and the Ice Fairy, the royal family is in chaos, and the garrison will inevitably be lax, and the Ice Fairy and I will have a better chance of winning the ginseng fruit.
The boss ran out of the bunk to inquire, and the ice fairy and I took the opportunity to slip away with a piece of clothing.
The Ice Fairy and I found an abandoned ruined temple, and the Ice Fairy changed into clothes, and from this I understood an old Chinese saying.
Man depends on clothes and horses on saddles!
When I first saw the ice fairy, she was wearing a wedding dress, which immediately blinded my eyes, and she was full of goddesses.
But now, the ice fairy is wearing a relatively simple local clothes, making her look like a village girl, although her face is still beautiful, but she has no sense of surprise.
Women, if you want to catch the attention of men, it is one thing to be beautiful, and it is also a great knowledge to be able to wear clothes.
I stared at the ice fairy, and looked at the ice fairy a little embarrassed, her body quickly condensed her true qi, and an extremely cold aura rushed towards me, making me shiver.
I saw the resentful gaze of the ice fairy, and I knew that I was out of shape, so I quickly looked away to relieve the embarrassment now.
More than a day has passed now, and I still have eighteen days, and within these eighteen days, I must find the ginseng fruit, first, to transform myself, and secondly, to cure the cold in the ice fairy's body.
Now that the ancient royal family of Loulan is rebelling, the entire Loulan Kingdom has become chaotic, but this is extremely beneficial to us, the more chaotic it is, the more gossip people discuss, and we also just inquired about the whereabouts of the ginseng fruit.
In ancient China, the place where civilians delivered the most news was the restaurant.
I continued to be the size of a palm, lying in the arms of the Ice Fairy, who inquired all the way to find the largest restaurant in the ancient country of Loulan.
You need silver to go to the restaurant, if you don't have silver, there will be a lot of trouble, and the ice fairy comes out for the first time, many people don't understand the world, and I don't want to cause a psychological shadow to the ice fairy because of the silver.
I'm not a trickster, I can't get the money out of thin air, I can't go to work, and after thinking about it, I decided to steal the money.
I still have a kind little conscience, there is a way to steal, and I am also very particular about stealing silver, I don't steal the silver of the farmer, the good man, the honest man, the profiteer, the villain, the madman, they are the target of my stealing of silver.
Soon, I had a goal in mind.
On the way, I passed by a green building, and saw a playboy, very rich, the royal rebellion didn't seem to have anything to do with him, it was boiling outside, but he still held a green house woman in one hand, drinking wine, sleeping with beauty, looking happy and happy.
I'm a demon beast, and I want to steal a money bag from a mortal, it's really as simple as drinking saliva, I poked out my true qi and easily took the playboy's money bag.
I can't imagine it, eat well, play well, sleep well, and then don't give silver, I really don't know, that playboy will be scratched into shredded potatoes by the old bustard.
I gloated and opened the playboy's purse, and there were some broken silver, and two large ingots.
I only know the renminbi, I don't have any research on silver, and I don't know how much this silver is, but looking at the two big ingots of silver, heavy, I estimate that it is more than enough to drink a meal.
Since the silver is enough, I didn't look for a target again, and after many inquiries by the ice fairy, we finally found the largest restaurant in the ancient country of Loulan, "Drunken Immortal Building". ”
There are two floors in the drunken immortal building, covering a large area, there are more than 100 tables downstairs, upstairs is a private room, there can also be more than 30 rooms, the area of a country in the ancient country of Loulan is probably not half of Jilin Province, to have such a large restaurant, it is also a luxury.
The upstairs private room is a place to eat and talk seriously, the ice fairy and I are here to inquire about the ginseng fruit, so naturally we have to stay on the first floor, the ice fairy found the middle of the downstairs, asked for two plates of side dishes, a cup of tea, and quietly listened to what the gang said.
The restaurant was very noisy and chaotic, and we listened to it for a long time, and most of them talked about the high priest's rebellion against the queen, and the ginseng fruit, but they didn't say a word.
It's not a way to wait like this, I saw that a slightly drunk person on the table next to me was talking very happily, I urged the eyes of the sky to open, released a divine soul power, and hit the person's body.
The man was just an ordinary person, and I easily controlled him and made him speak. "Hey, do you know where the ginseng fruit is?"
One of the people sitting near him replied with some disdain. "Lao Wang, are you confused, the ginseng fruit is the treasure of our Loulan country, it blooms every three hundred years, bears fruit every three hundred years, matures every three hundred years, and receives thirty ginseng fruits every thousand years, and it is planted in the back garden of the palace."
I was a little excited to hear the news of the ginseng fruit so easily, and continued to control the man and asked. "Only thirty ginseng fruits have been received in a thousand years, and now there are still ginseng fruits in the palace?"
The person on the other side said without hesitation. "Yes, every ginseng fruit is a treasure, even the empress can't eat it at will, and now, there must be at least five ginseng fruits in the royal family." The person on the other side scratched his head and continued with disdain. "Lao Wang, what do you want to do with this, even those princes and nobles can't eat ginseng fruit, don't think about it for us ordinary people, it's useless to think about it, ginseng fruit is a treasure, there are heavy guards at all times, and the strong guard it, you can't even see the shadow of the ginseng fruit, you will be killed by random arrows."
I was afraid of revealing a flaw, so I controlled the man and smiled, and then changed the subject.
Immediately afterwards, I took control of another person and continued to inquire, and after more than three hours of inquiry, I also roughly understood this ancient country of Loulan.
The ancient kingdom of Loulan, with a population of 6 million, is presided over by the queen, and the high priest assists the queen in managing the country, the queen is equivalent to the emperor, and the high priest is equivalent to the prime minister.
In almost every region, there will be a belief, some are religions, some are totems, and some are a certain person, and the ancient country of Loulan is no exception, they believe in Pixiu.
Pixiu is the totem of the ancient country of Loulan, Pixiu is a fierce beast, can swallow all things without leaking, so it has the meaning of eating the wealth of the Quartet, has the meaning of driving away evil spirits, and brings joy and good luck.
Pixiu doesn't like men, favors women, every generation of queens in the ancient kingdom of Loulan is selected by Pixiu, the queen's strength is not high or even just an ordinary woman, but the strength of the high priest is very strong, it is for this reason that the relationship between each generation of queens and high priests is very rigid.
The high priest is step by step, relying on his own strength to become the position of the high priest, each high priest, not only strong, but also outstanding contributions to the ancient country of Loulan, and the queen is selected by Pixiu, before may be just an unknown little girl, as long as Pixiu fancies, will become the queen, every high priest is very dissatisfied with the queen, he has worked hard all his life, but in the end he has to be called by a little girl, presumably any high priest will be dissatisfied.
The queen's strength is not strong, but Pixiu is very strong, so almost every high priest must obey the queen's orders, the ancient country of Loulan has been built so far, almost 2,200 years of history, counting today's time, during which there were six times the high priest betrayed the queen, except for this time, the remaining five, the high priest was all killed by Pixiu, this time, the queen fled, which proves that the high priest defeated Pixiu, as for Pixiu is dead or alive, no one knows.
Although I have heard a lot of information about the ancient kingdom of Loulan from the mouths of these civilians, the knowledge of these civilians is limited after all, and I want to inquire about the strength of the guards of the ginseng fruit, but I have not inquired about this.
Although I didn't inquire, I also decided to do it tonight, today, the empress and the high priest have a battle, they will definitely lose both, there must be chaos inside, and tonight is the best opportunity.
I made up my mind, and the Ice Fairy and I crept around the palace and waited for the night to fall.
There is no clock here, it is still a sundial to keep time, and I can't understand the sundial, and I can't figure out the specific time, so late at night, I and the ice fairy quietly sneaked into the palace.
The palace is full of corpses, the smell of blood permeates the entire palace, the morning battle, the smoke of gunpowder has not dissipated, the war has not stopped, occasionally there can be a few screams around the palace, it should be the queen's subordinates are making desperate resistance.
I became the size of a palm, in this palace densely covered with corpses, it is difficult to be found, the ice fairy is dressed in black, cautiously moving forward, during which I have encountered seven or eight patrol generals, but we have avoided them, it can be said that there is no danger.
Compared with ancient China, the ancient kingdom of Loulan is a small country, and the entire palace is not large, not as big as one-fifth of the Forbidden City, and it is not difficult for us to find a back garden.
Soon, we found the back garden, the closer we got to the back garden, the more I felt the aura in the air, and there was a faint fragrance, if I guessed correctly, those aura and fragrance were released by the ginseng fruit.
Soon, I found the entrance to the back garden, and at the door, there stood a general with a long knife, the soldier's knife was still stained with blood, and three generals fell under his feet.
I urged the eyes of the sky to open, and I could observe that the warrior's body exuded a powerful iron-blooded killing aura, and the momentum was sharp, like a peerless sword.
