Chapter 2: The Princess of Dreams
Just as Yaksha was about to enter the city with joy, a pair of guards came out of the city gate, followed by a carriage, which was not an ordinary horse, with white wings, stepping on auspicious clouds, and walking with the carriage off the ground, beside which there were four handmaidens of characters, waiting for them with gift boxes in their hands.
"The princess of dreams is out of the city, and the idlers are waiting to kneel down and send them off...", the guard at the front shouted loudly.
Seeing that the guards and the common people on the side of the city gate all knelt down, not daring to look up at each other, the Yaksha also quickly put Xiaobao down, while holding Xiaobao's head and making him kneel, he himself was so frightened that he knelt to the side and did not dare to look up.
Li Xiaobao didn't know the rules here! I just felt that kneeling was unpleasant, taught by my parents since childhood, kneeling to my parents, but I can't easily kneel to others, and there is gold under the man's knees! So our Xiaobao stood up, raised his head and looked at the carriage with his head held high, only to see a girl on the carriage dressed in white, wearing Jinsha, only revealing a pair of bright eyes, with a good figure, long hair up to the waist, lying barefoot, turning his head to see that Xiaobao on the side of the car did not kneel, and immediately his eyebrows were locked.
"Smack!" a whip slapped Xiao Bao in the face, "Where did the wild boy come from?
"Ouch, why are you hitting me?" said Xiao Bao with a blushing face.
"Who are you, my lord, do you know that it is a capital offense to confront the princess?" the guard scolded.
When Yaksha saw that Xiaobao was in trouble, he hurriedly grabbed Xiaobao, pressed him down and kowtowed, and whispered: "Princess, don't worry about this kid, he is the prey that the villain just caught, and he is about to hand it over to Fengdu Mansion, he doesn't understand the rules, he collides with the princess, and he is a capital crime!"
A few guards were about to go crazy, only to see the princess wave her hand and say: "That's it, this princess has something important to do today, don't worry about you, this prey is for me, I just use it!" After speaking, he threw a bag to Yaksha, Yaksha lowered his head and quickly picked up the bag, but he didn't dare to look at it, and said, "Thank you princess for the reward!"
A few guards got busy, tied Xiaobao with ropes, and then remained at the footboard of the carriage, and then the group drifted away from the city.
Li Xiaobao lay behind the carriage, quietly raised his head and looked at the princess lying on it, but he felt that the princess was very strange, looming, as if ethereal, but real, like a ball of light and qi, as long as your hand touched it will dissipate.
"Little ghost, what are you looking at, do you think I'm beautiful?" said the princess as she stared at Xiaobao with bright eyes, and her voice was very ecstatic.
"My mother said that no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just a stinky skin, but it seems that you don't even have a stinky skin!
"Bastard, you dare to talk to me like this, I'll give you away later, this stinky skin of yours is what many people want!hehe..."The princess said fiercely, Xiaobao made her angry, when did anyone dare to talk to her like this in this Fengdu City?
Xiaobao snorted and turned his head to ignore the princess, don't look at Xiaobao's young age, his personality is not as timid and cowardly as his father thinks, but his father Li Jin is usually too strong, so Xiaobao can't show it, there is still the arrogance of the Li family in his bones, the so-called dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and this is what the mouse son does.
The group traveled like this for a long time, and came to a big mountain, this mountain is very strange, originally the world is full of blood red, but this mountain is black, swarthy, there is no light at all, it is like a black hole, you can't see anything!
"Princess Fengdu Dreaming asks to see Granny Meng!" the loud-voiced guard in front of him shouted a few words into the depths of the darkness.
After shouting a few times, I saw a figure strung out of the darkness, also a black shadow, like a human form, but I couldn't see the face and others, and a deep voice came and said: "Oh! It turned out to be the beloved daughter of the King of Fengdu, the princess who fell into a dream! What did the princess say in person?" The voice was old and slender, and it was long and trembling, making people's hairs stand on end.
The princess of the dream had already gotten off the carriage, and it seemed that she didn't dare to play any prestige in front of this mother-in-law Meng, so she made a gesture towards the black shadow, and then said: "Take the liberty to disturb the mother-in-law's Qingxiu, I hope that the mother-in-law will forgive me, the little girl is mainly for the once-in-a-millennium draft meeting, and I ask my mother-in-law to give her a good skin, and I will repay my mother-in-law in Fengdu City in the future!"
"Oh, I see, but you know the rules of my place, and although you are noble, you cannot break the rules!" said the dark shadow.
"Of course, I have prepared a generous gift, and I will give my mother-in-law a good skin in exchange, I hope my mother-in-law likes it!
Several maids hurriedly stepped forward to place the gift box in their hands, and then slowly opened it, only to see that several boxes were filled with all kinds of treasures and precious medicinal materials, and then a guard lifted Li Xiaobao to the edge of the gift box, Xiaobao fell all over the body, but was too frightened to speak.
The black shadow looked at Xiaobao and a few gift boxes, and then said, "Yes, this skin bag is exactly what the old body wants, since this is the case, the old body will promise the princess!"
"Thank you mother-in-law for making it happen!" said the princess of the dream.
I saw that the black shadow waved his hand, and a red dot flashed in the black mountain forest, and after a while, it slowly fell in front of everyone, and everyone saw that it was the body of a young girl, with a delicate face, a graceful figure, and very beautiful, and the princess of the dream was overjoyed to see it, even if she was usually well-cultivated, she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart at the moment.
"It's yours, princess!" the shadow said to the princess.
"Thank you, mother-in-law!" said the princess happily, and turned into a white smoke from the girl's altar, and after a long time, she saw the girl open her eyes, slowly get up, and look herself up and down, as if admiring a work of art.
"Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess!" all the guards and maidservants on the side knelt down to congratulate the princess.
"Haha... I finally have my own body..."Princess Dream laughed madly, and was about to turn around to thank Granny Meng, but found that the black shadow just now had already disappeared, and the gift box and Xiaobao in front of her were also gone, and a scroll of paper fell in the air, and Princess Dream hurriedly reached out to take it, with various secret methods written on it.
"Princess, please go back, practice according to the method taught by the old body, and after a year, the body and soul will naturally be united, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask the old body, and I won't send it far..."
The dream princess glanced meaningfully at the black mountain in the distance, turned around and got into the carriage and went back to the city with the guards and maids, leaving it alone for the time being.
In other words, our Xiaobao, just because of his father's willfulness, changed his life and came to this inexplicable soul transfer continent, he doesn't know what's going on, and he doesn't know what to do, but he is open-minded by nature, he can also think about it, take a step by step, and find a way to live is the most important thing at the moment.
Now Xiaobao is locked in a dark room, and he can't see anything in the house, but he feels that there are other people, and the eight-year-old is naturally very scared.
"My name is Li Xiaobao, I am eight years old this year, I am from Huaguo, can you talk to me?" Xiaobao said in a low voice, his voice trembling with fear.
After a long time, a voice sounded, "Meng Liang, also from Huaguo, damn! I just chased and beat my father, and when I ran away, I fell off the cliff and came to this ghost place, did you come here like this?"
"I'm not, my name is Xiao Yilang, I was caught by human traffickers, I jumped into the river when I escaped, and I got here!" another voice said.
"I'm Sonny, I'm different from you, I went out to sea with my mom and dad, and I saw a rainbow, and I clamored to see it, and it turned out to... I hurt my mom and dad, woo..."
Li Xiaobao confirmed that there were only four of them in this room, and he was happy that there were companions on his side, so he was not so lonely and afraid, and he was afraid that he didn't know what kind of danger he was going to encounter.
"So you are all Chinese? That's good, we can't be afraid and anxious, we have to find a way to get out, my parents told me that in this case, what we need most is to twist into a rope and find a way to escape!"
"It's dark here, I don't know what the hell it is! Why are we going to get out?" Meng Liang was a big grinning guy.
"Xiaobao is right, we have to be together, and when the opportunity comes, they won't always lock us up!" Xiao Yilang is more calm and wise.
"Hmm!" Sunny stopped crying, wiped her tears and said, "I listen to you, we are good sisters and brothers when we meet together, and now it's like we've caught the traffickers, let's find a way to escape together!"
"That's right!" Xiaobao suddenly regained his confidence, his previous fear was swept away, and he said happily: "Then why don't we worship the son? I'm eight years old, I don't know how old I am?"
"Then I must be the oldest, I'm sixteen!" Meng Liang said.
"I'm twelve, second in line!" Xiao Yilang said.
"What about Sanny?" Xiaobao was worried that he was the oldest.
"I'm ten years old, hehe, you have to call me Third Sister!" said Sunny playfully.
"Oh!" Li Xiaobao said aggrievedly, and the others laughed happily.
For a while, a few people forgot their situation, the child was forgetful, and there were peers who played together for a while and didn't know what it was to be afraid, Li Xiaobao originally wanted to use the trick of worshipping the handle to get closer to everyone, and turned out to be the younger brother of the four, but he was cheerful and well-informed, and soon he was like brothers and sisters with a few people, very hot, and a few people said happily for a long time before slowly falling asleep.
