Chapter 027: First Arrival in the Precious Treasure Land
"You guys really have big hearts!" Xiao Yuyao was angry after hearing what happened to the two of them in the world, "If it were me, I would definitely tie you up in the room, and you would not be allowed to go anywhere!"
Du Xiaobai scratched his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders, and said that he accepted criticism unconditionally, and in his opinion, it was completely his responsibility to get to this point.
"Your gold tooth should be of great use to the An family," Xiao Yuyao said as she walked, "However, I don't think you should go to see An Qi for the time being." ”
"Why? Miss Kiki looks anxious. Du Xiaobai asked.
"Don't you know, Kiki's father An Nantian, is the head of the Fire Dragon Clan and the great leader of the underworld, and although he has his considerations for deciding to bring you to the underworld alive, he is also a father who loves his daughter like his life and feels that his children are bigger than the sky. His daughter suffered so much because she saved you, she almost took her life, and all this was caused by your negligence, do you think that when he sees you, he can easily let you go?"
"It turns out that his father is the king of Yama in the underworld...... Du Xiaobai said secretly in his heart, his eyes gradually became dull, and a man with strong muscles, a dark face, and a fanged mouth appeared in his mind, wielding a mace, angrily commanding the little ghosts around him, throwing himself into the oil pot......
"So, I think you should go back to Lingdi Fort with me first," Xiao Yuyao glanced at Du Xiaobai and continued to hit the railroad while it was hot, "First, you can wait for Qiqi's father to dissipate his anger before going to see him; ”
Du Xiaobai nodded silently, judging from the current situation, Miss Xiao's arrangement is indeed the most beneficial to herself.
Xiao Yuyao saw that Du Xiaobai listened to her persuasion, and while breathing a sigh of relief, she secretly despised what she had done.
According to the actual situation, her advice to Du Xiaobai is indeed the best choice. But while she pushed the boat down the river and borrowed her strength, she hid her selfishness. Only she understands that she is fishing in troubled waters and taking advantage of the fire to rob.
She vaguely felt that this man who frequently happened strange things, and who could make Annan Tian spare no effort to rescue him, must have some kind of extraordinary power. And this extraordinary power, now it seems, should come from his golden tooth. It's just that at present, except for An Nantian, no one knows what the golden tooth is for.
Coupled with the fact that he also had a cloud of venom that could affect the fate of the Spirit Disc Clan, it was even more impossible for her to let this man go easily.
In recent years, the power of the Fire Dragon Clan has gradually weakened, and it is often difficult to implement government decrees, and many families have long been disobedient. Perhaps, it is time for the underworld to change the dynasty. Although your Spirit Butterfly Clan does not participate in politics or fight for power, this does not mean that everyone will allow your development to exist. The foundation of real life is not what your position is, but how strong you are.
Therefore, Xiao Yuyao, who learned the real situation, saw the opportunity, so she took advantage of the topic and successfully persuaded Du Xiaobai to stay with peace of mind. And the mystery of the golden tooth, after returning to the spirit disk, must be sent to secretly investigate.
It's just that all this behavior, deep in Xiao Yuyao's heart, feels that she is really not upright enough, and even a little insidious.
Uncle An, who has been extremely respected since childhood, Anqi, who was once like sisters, and the close father-daughter relationship between them are one of the true emotional sources of Xiao Yuyao's childhood. Now, for the sake of the family's interests, sneaking behind his back to snatch love, is this really what he should do? Even if he has done so many things, in the end, he may still become a victim of the family's interest marriage, is it really worth it?
Xiao Yuyao sighed softly, and said silently in her heart: I'm sorry, Uncle An, Qiqi......
"Miss Xiao, what did you stuff those two soldiers just now, how do I feel as if they took a big advantage?"
Du Xiaobai's inquiring voice came from the side, interrupting Xiao Yuyao's mixed thoughts.
"Oh, you said that wooden card," Xiao Yuyao stroked the hair between her foreheads, "That wooden card can allow the bearer to enjoy the best medical conditions of the Spirit Butterfly Clan." Anytime, anywhere. ”
"Miss Xiao......" Du Xiaobai touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "I first arrived in Guibao Land, but I don't really know much about the society of the underworld, such as the best medical conditions you just mentioned, is your Spirit Butterfly Clan a hospital?"
"Precious land......" Xiao Yuyao couldn't help but sigh when she heard Du Xiaobai's words, "Thousands of years ago, the underworld could still be called a treasure land, but now, I'm afraid it really doesn't deserve this word." ”
Xiao Yuyao looked ahead, and there was still some way to reach the ferry, so she turned her head to Du Xiaobai's questioning eyes, and said: "Thousands of years ago, there was an unprecedented ancient war in the underworld. The scale and impact of that war were so large that it was impossible to express in words. The war even spread to the heavenly realm. At that time, the level of technology in the underworld far surpassed that of the current Three Realms. It is said that after the ancient war, less than one-tenth of the population of the underworld remained, and three-quarters of the already small land area was sunk in the ocean. The subsidence of a large amount of land in turn causes the sea level to rise, which in turn eats away at the remaining land again. In the end, only the area around Our Lady of the Mountain remained. ”
Du Xiaobai and Xiao Yuyao walked side by side, listening quietly, although they had no personal experience, but from Xiao Yuyao's description, he had imagined the extremely cruel scene at that time. On earth, perhaps in the near future, the same will be true. Nuclear deterrence, aircraft carrier cruises, the arms race, the wrestling between major powers, the resurgence of the Cold War, and so on, mankind is also on the verge of extinction.
"After the war subsided, many treaties of restriction were signed between the underworld and the celestial realm. Ban on hot weapons, ban on vehicles that go too fast, ban on high-tech products on the telephone network, and so on. Overnight, the underworld returned to the ancient age of cold weapons. Although all this seems ridiculous, it is all about restoring the original vitality of the underworld......" Xiao Yuyao took some heavy steps, obviously she didn't like the history at that time, "Due to the existence of time and space, the underworld has absorbed a lot of soul forms from the human world. With more manpower, the underworld gradually regained some of its former glory, and gradually formed various forces led by the five major families of the Fire Dragon Clan, the Spirit Butterfly Clan, the Ice Moth Clan, the Stone Elephant Clan, and the Night Wolf Clan. ”
"Among them, the Fire Dragon Clan is one of the two major families that survived the ancient wars, and they are self-respecting, fair and steady, and have the demeanor of everyone, so they are elected as the leaders of the underworld, responsible for maintaining order in the underworld, issuing unified decrees, and liaising with the heavenly realm. ”
"The Ice Moth Clan has been meticulous and ingenious since ancient times, and there are many merchants, on the surface, they are mainly engaged in textiles and clothing, but in fact, the clan industry has long been all over the underworld, and it is now the most powerful family. ”
"The Stone Elephant Clan is the family that absorbs the most souls, has the most laborers, and is mainly responsible for the cultivation and production of grain, the production of tools, the construction of roads and houses, etc., and is the big granary and labor exporter of the entire underworld. ”
"The Night Wolf Clan is another big family that survived the ancient wars, there are many capable people in the family, and they are good at many strange things, the art of war, divination, hunting, organs, and so on, I don't know what they will do, in short, there are many, many of them, which has a lot to do with their family's scattered places in the underworld......
"As for our Spirit Butterfly Clan, what you said is indeed right, it is the largest hospital in the underworld. The manufacture of medicines and the care of doctors, most of them come from our spiritual discs. We are also one of the most respected families in Hades. Of course, there are also many people in the underworld who cannot afford to see a doctor and cannot enjoy the best medical resources. The wooden card I gave to those two soldiers just now is to allow them to enjoy the medical conditions of the Spirit Disc Clan anytime and anywhere, which is for life. So, that brand is hard to find!"
Xiao Yuyao paused when she said this, feeling a little thirsty, and then she remembered that it had been a long time since she had said so many words at once. Trapped in Lingdi Fort every day, in addition to flowers are grass, in addition to trees are birds, it is not easy to sneak to the world to soak in the hot springs to drink spring water, who would have thought that such a strange man was brought back halfway, and now he has to personally popularize the scientific, cultural and social knowledge of the underworld......
Du Xiaobai was silently reciting in his heart at this time: the Fire Dragon Clan is the Chairman of the Military Commission, the Ice Moth Clan is the rich second generation, the Spirit Butterfly Clan is the doctor, the Stone Elephant Clan is the granary, and the Night Wolf Clan is the ...... 10086 ......
As Xiao Yuyao's narration came to an abrupt end, Du Xiaobai, who was pondering, was puzzled, but when he saw Xiao Yuyao licking his lips, he realized that this Miss Xiao should be thirsty.
Du Xiaobai didn't say a word, he ran to the soul team next to him and began to borrow water everywhere, whether it was a leader or a soldier, he borrowed it all over his buddies and brothers, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.
Xiao Yuyao stood in the distance and was stunned, she didn't understand what this person was doing when he suddenly ran back and forth in the soul team, she was a big beauty, and it was inconvenient to keep up, so she could only stand in place, until Du Xiaobai came over with a kettle, she realized that this person was borrowing water.
"Miss Xiao, I asked again, only this kettle has not been used, and you can drink the water in it with confidence. Du Xiaobai wiped the sweat from his forehead, his body was still very weak.
Xiao Yuyao glanced at Du Xiaobai silently again, took the kettle, covered her sleeves lightly, raised her head and poured a few sips of water, then handed the kettle back, and motioned for Du Xiaobai to drink a little too.
When Du Xiaobai raised his head and was about to drink, he suddenly smelled a strange smell, so he stopped. He brought the spout of the pot to the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully, revealing a strange expression.
Xiao Yuyao's face flushed, and she was annoyed, thinking to herself What do you mean by this action, my Xiao Yuyao usually uses thousand-year-old agarwood for my toothbrush, and I use ambergris for my toothpaste, can this girl still have bad breath? !
"Miss Xiao, this is not water...... How do you drink it...... The smell is so strange, it's exactly the same as what is in the bottle of Pei Laoxiao's medicine house! That soldier is really good at deceiving people, and says that this is clean water, no! I have to find him!" Du Xiaobai said indignantly, ready to turn his head and comment.
"Wait!," Xiao Yuyao hurriedly called Du Xiaobai.
"What?" Du Xiaobai asked after standing still.
"What bottle did you say Pei's old family's small medicine store?" Xiao Yuyao asked a little nervously.
"It's the bottle on the table in the small medicine house, there are two. One of them is this taste. Du Xiaobai said.
"How do you know? You can't just drink the water in those two bottles......" Xiao Yuyao felt a very bad feeling in her heart, and she remembered Du Xiaobai's strange cocoon self-restraint.
"How can I drink this kind of taste, I drink another tasteless one, and that is water. Miss Xiao, when I first arrived in Guibaodi, although I didn't know the cultural environment here, I still knew about water. Du Xiaobai's words are conclusive.
"......" Xiao Yuyao glanced at Du Xiaobai silently for the fourth time, and this time, there was a complicated look in her eyes.
