Chapter 13: There are no double flowers in Shuanghua Town
Deep in the forest, thatched huts
The night finally ended, Xiguan sat in a daze all night holding Jing'er's spirit stone, and everyone took turns to guard him.
"Zhifang, Zhifang, why are you asleep?" Lin Xuqi was the first to find Zhifang Duobao sleeping on the table alone, and Xiguan, who had been sitting on the ground, was gone.
Zhifang woke up sleepy-eyed, not knowing what had happened, and everyone gathered.
"What about Xiguan?" Bai Zifang looked at Zhi Fang reproachfully, he was too sleepy as a disciple.
"You mentally retarded thief, you can lose a big living person. Jin Daiyi, they searched all the thatched huts, but they didn't see any trace of Xiguan.
Yue Ya'er found a letter on the table and the spirit stone left by Jing'er yesterday, the invisibility cloak, "He's gone." Bai Zifang took the letter and looked at it carefully.
Thank you for giving me and Jing'er the last happy time, I can only apologize for what you did, leave the invisibility cloak and give it to Jin Daiyi who was almost killed by me, and this spirit stone was stolen by me from Shuanghua Town, I want to trouble you to help me return it, I'm leaving, thank you.
Bai Zifang sighed, they are all people trapped by love, he can understand the pain of losing and regaining and losing again.
"What is this spirit stone?" Yue Ya'er took it in her hand and studied it over and over again, and Bai Zifang couldn't understand it, it seemed that a trip to Shuanghua Town was inevitable.
Fortunately, Shuanghua Town can be reached along the river, and it is not far from the goal, but as soon as you enter the town, you feel strange, you only see men and women in this town, and everyone is scattered at first, but then it is slowly gathered by the crowd.
"Little girl, my family is a rich family in the town, you can go back with me to be my wife. A lewd man grabbed Zhu Qin's arm and was about to pull it away, but Lin Xu stepped forward with an arrow and knocked off his hand with a scabbard, and the man screamed.
This side has not subsided, and on the other side, Jin Daiyi has been surrounded, and the man next to him is trying to introduce himself, there are scholars, blacksmiths, merchants, and officials. Jin Daiyi took out a long whip and waved it, and these people were even more excited instead of dispersed, shouting to marry her. Chifang had no choice but to escort her to the middle of the group.
"Princess, save me. Wuqiao protected Zhuqin and just squeezed back into the middle of the group from the crowd, but his sleeves were forcibly pulled away by three or five people.
Baizifang, Lin Xu and their men had to put the three girls in the center and protect them on all sides, it is strange to say that Yueya'er is also a daughter, but those men don't seem to be able to see her.
"Aren't they crazy, haven't they seen a woman?" Jin Daiyi sorted out the clothes that were almost torn just now, and looked at Yue Ya'er suspiciously, "Why are you okay?"
"You forget, I was a man in front of the living. Yue Ya'er stood leisurely aside, and when Lin Xu saw her like this, he called her to come over to resist the crowd.
Yueya'er ran to Lin Xu's side like a command, and pulled up her hand to block these crazy men. The more people gathered, the more people heard that there were women entering the town, and everyone came to see it.
"Quiet, quiet, the mayor is here. A man's voice shouted at the periphery of the crowd, and a man in a satin robe rode slowly on a tall horse, he looked a bit like a winter melon, and a small mustache followed the horse's footsteps.
There were so many people that the soldiers in front of his horse cleared for half a day to open a road, and he came to the side of the hundred sons, and sat proudly on the back of the horse. A soldier cleared his throat and said to everyone: "This is Zhaolai, the mayor of Shuanghua Town, who will report his name at the next station." ”
Bai Zifang saw that he was used to holding chicken feathers as arrows like this, and there was no need to worry about their identity, so he said respectfully: "I am the ranger Bai Zifang, who took his apprentices to experience and experience, passed through here, and was entrusted by others to send back the spirit stone." ”
The crowd began to stir, and the mayor of the town was also pleasantly surprised: "What spirit stone, bring it to me to see." ”
Bai Zifang handed over the spirit stone, Zhaolai looked at it carefully, and showed it to the crowd with a big smile: "Great, the female spirit stone is back, and we have hope in Shuanghua Town." ”
In the cheers of everyone, Bai Zifang and his party were invited to the mayor's mansion, and after everything was settled, the mayor and his family came to visit.
Bai Zifang and the others lived in the side courtyard of the mayor's mansion, and the mayor named it Baicao Garden, as soon as they put down their luggage, Zhaolai couldn't wait to know when the female spirit stone could be reset.
"We were just entrusted to send back the spirit stone, and we really don't know how to reset it. Bai Zifang said sincerely, but Zhaolai didn't believe it, thinking that they wanted benefits, so he pitifully told about the changes that have taken place in Shuanghua Town in the past 500 years, seeking sympathy.
500 years ago, in order to save Jing'er, Xiguan stole the female spirit stone, presumably using this stone as a life-changing stone. This can be bitter to the people of Shuanghua Town, the so-called double flower is because there is a sacred tree in the town square, on which can bloom two kinds of flowers, one is female and the other is male, there is a woman in the town who is pregnant will bear a flower if it is a female will give birth to a girl, if it is a male will give birth to a boy. It has been said that for thousands of years, just 500 years ago, after the female spirit stone disappeared, the sacred tree only bloomed male flowers and did not bloom female flowers, and the town gradually had more men and fewer women, and the originally prosperous Shuanghua Town was also defeated and poor, and the men would not have descendants without wives.
"Then why don't you find some women from elsewhere?" Although Yue Ya'er's question was reasonable, it was inappropriately worded, which made Zhaolai slightly embarrassed.
"Children in Shuanghua Town must be born here, and men who go out cannot have children. Zhaolai sighed and said, "But since the loss of the female spirit stone 500 years ago, the rumor of the curse of Shuanghua Town has spread, and the women of the surrounding villages and towns dare not marry them. ”
"That being said, as long as the female spirit stone is in place, everything will be better. That being said, how to get back to the position is a problem.
"Haven't you had a girl in your town for 500 years? Will there ever be, but you don't know?" Yue Ya'er's words attracted Bai Zifang's attention, and she followed everyone as if it wasn't because of Lin Xu's sharing bed that day.
"Definitely not, if there were, it would have been the treasure of our town a long time ago. "Zhaolai doesn't like this boy more and more, why do you always say something strange," Please also save Shuanghua Town and find a way for the female spirit stone to return to its place. ”
Seeing that the mayor of the town was so pleading, Bai Zifang had no choice but to agree, it was too late today, and Bai Zifang decided to go to the town square early tomorrow morning to see what the sacred tree looked like.
The next day, the group came to the square, because they knew that they were the ones who reset the female spirit stone, and the men were somewhat restrained, but a large number of people still gathered in the square, and they all blamed Jin Daiyi and Zhu Qinsheng for their extraordinary beauty, which attracted everyone in the town to want to see the style.
The branches of this sacred tree are luxuriant, like umbrella-like branches, and the trunk of the tree can only be surrounded by four or five people. If you don't know about the twins, everyone will think that there is no problem with this tree growing vigorously. The branches of the tree were full of white flowers, and Baizifang looked around the tree, and sure enough, as the mayor said, it was all white flowers, and there was no other flower.
"Daiyi, what do you think?" Bai Zifang retreated to Jin Daiyi's side, and at this time she frowned at all, not at all as lively and active as she was on the road just now.
"Daiyi, what's wrong with you?" Zhifang also felt strange, since they came to the square, everyone looked around and looked around, only Jin Daiyi was the only one who looked at the Divine Tree in a daze, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"I've seen this tree. "How could Jin Daiyi, who has never left Xingbang tomorrow night, see the sacred tree of Shuanghua Town, everyone is skeptical.
Zhu Qin put his hand on her shoulder to ease the tense atmosphere, "Do you mean you've seen it in books?" Tomorrow night, although Xingbang is a hermit clan, he has the most complete collection of classical books in the Jade Realm Continent, and Jin Daiyi, as the emperor, has been collecting a group of books since he was a child, so it would not be surprising if he had seen it in books.
Jin Daiyi shook her head, it was a dream......
