Chapter 84: Ancient Paintings
"The remains of our ancestors are the most sacred of them in their eyes. They are to be worshiped with the best of things. So, I put the wine in. Ye Qingcheng said: "Over time, this place has become a place to store wine. Many old Vajra apes like to do the same, after all, it is a good thing for them to think that they can sleep with so much wine after death. ”
As he spoke, Ye Qingcheng took out the beast taming rope around his waist and leaped down.
As he was about to hit the ground, he jerked the rope, wrapping one end around a raised rock in the rock wall, and he followed the rope safely to the half-man-high jars.
Then, Huo Jing and Bao Jun used ropes one after another and flew down.
"Snort!" Ye Qingcheng lifted the lid on a large wine jar, and a fragrant and rich wine smell instantly hit his face, completely arousing his hunger and thirst.
He reached out and took a handful of clear, transparent, golden wine from the altar, sniffed it gently, and with a happy smile on his face, he took the first sip.
"Coo-goo-goo-goo-......goo-
At the end, he drank all the wine in his hand and held it for a long time without speaking.
"How's it going?" Bao Jun looked at him expectantly.
"Ha!" Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath and said happily: "It's really drowning in this wine!"
"I'll taste it too. Hearing this, Huo Jing hurriedly picked up a handful of wine and drank it with a grunt. Bao Jun directly stuck his head into the wine jar and drank it regardless of it.
"Haha, today I please, drink with an open stomach. Ye Qingcheng smiled heroically. A few sips of good wine also swept away the exhaustion in his body.
However, he did not continue to drink, but looked around for something in the countless jars......
After a while, Huo Jing wiped the wine traces from his mouth and found that Ye Qingcheng was walking north, so he followed his footsteps curiously.
In the northern part of this wine storage space, there was an open space, and Huo Jing first found two strange remains. They are also Vajra apes, and their flesh and blood have long been dried and turned into two hideous dried corpses, but their dusty fur is white, and the momentum emanating from the corpse is even more terrifying.
Between them was a dark golden sacrificial table, on which were placed two long-lasting lamps of dark blue, a small incense burner, a white incense stick, and a small bell stained with dust.
Huo Jing glanced at the remains of the two white Vajra apes that should not have appeared here, and their black hole eyes seemed to be staring at him, making him uncomfortable. However, when he saw the remains of ancient paintings hanging on the stone wall behind the sacrificial table, his expression couldn't help but be shocked.
The ancient painting was half a zhang long, yellowed by the passage of time, and the faces of the people in the painting were vaguely unclear. However, if they look closely, they will see what the most beautiful woman in the world looks like.
As their expressions gradually focused, the faces of the people in the painting became clearer and clearer.
As if entering a dream, a fairy-like person, as if standing in front of them out of an ancient painting: she was a graceful woman, dressed in a white silk silk spinning dress, dotted with very delicate peach blossoms of pale red. A very precious green agate hairpin is inserted between her long green silk, and her neck is like snow, which is so beautiful that it makes people palpitate. Her appearance is so beautiful that no one can resist it, let alone describe it clearly in words, and I only feel a sense of suffocation in my heart.
Before this, Huo Jing had also seen many beauties, but he couldn't think of any words to describe the one in front of him. Her eyes were as clear as the dew drops among the blades of grass in the morning light, and her delicate nose was as warm as the moonlight. Her lips were as rosy as peach blossoms, a small dimple was faint at the corner of her mouth, and the only blemish on her face was a faint black mole hidden in her eyebrows. Her eyes were quiet, like autumn water, and there was a faint sadness flowing gently in her gaze.
"It's so beautiful!" Huo Jing stared at the characters on the ancient painting as if he was stunned.
"Do you think it looks like her?" Ye Qingcheng's gaze couldn't be pulled out of the portrait anymore.
"It's not just a likeness, it's just a mold carved out. Huo Jing said loudly: "It's just that she has just passed the age of cardamom, and she doesn't have this kind of fascination temperament." ”
"Maybe you will have it when you grow up. Ye Qingcheng said.
At this time, Lihuo had drunk his stomach like a ball, staggered onto Ye Qingcheng's shoulder, and sat down. And the little fat man drank directly, drunkenly tied a jar of wine behind his back, walked over, stared at the yellowed and blurred ancient paintings, and said curiously: "It looks like Miyagawa Xue, hehe, you two people, your saliva is about to flow out." ”
Huo Jing quickly came back to his senses, and the portrait on the ancient painting in front of him became blurred because of this, he turned his face and patted Bao Jun's shoulder with concern, and said, "You are still too young to understand the most beautiful lethality in the world." ”
"I'm only two years younger than you, and one year younger than Brother Qingcheng. Bao Jun shouted.
Ye Qingcheng retracted his gaze in amazement and sighed: "It's a pity that this senior passed away five hundred years ago, and I can only see her face from this portrait." ”
"Do you know who she is?" asked Huo Jing.
"Peach. ”
"Peach, Miyagawa Ming and Peach!" Huo Jing said in shock: "It turned out to be the first beauty in ancient times, no wonder it was so beautiful." ”
Hearing the sound, the little fat man was also taken aback.
There are many legends on the Cloud Sky Continent, especially those about those geniuses. However, Akira Miyagawa and Peach are one of the most dazzling of these starry legends. Miyagawa Akira is the descendant of the last Miyagawa family on the Yuntian Continent, and Peach is a nobleman of the Great Wilderness - a dragon herder.
Five hundred years ago, Miyagawa Ming was born as a genius in the sky and became the first beast taming wizard on the Yuntian Continent. Because he is heroic, talented, and talented, he is extremely favored by the world, and no genius can surpass him so far. It is rumored that the Yun Clan's legion, which has been guarding the Yuntian Continent, has taken very good care of him. He was once known as the one who might eventually become the king of beasts after Yuntian.
Later, after defeating all the geniuses on the Yuntian Continent, Miyagawa Ming took the sword to the Great Wilderness alone, and left an immortal legend in the Great Wilderness. Until he met the first beautiful dragon shepherd in the Great Wilderness - Peach. Tao also fell in love with Miyagawa Ming at first sight, but unfortunately, as the daughter of the leader of the noble dragon herdsman of the Great Wilderness, it was impossible for her to marry a young man on the Yuntian Continent. Fortunately, her father is also a person who cherishes talents, and finally agreed to allow Miyagawa Ming to join the Muslim Dragon Clan, and opened a unique Dragon Temple for him to retain his surname.
Because of the influence of Miyagawa Ming, Peach also became a beast trainer, and traveled to the Yuntian Continent with him many times. Akira Miyagawa and Peach are like a bond, pulling into the relationship between the Yun Clan and the Dragon Wrangler.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, in the middle of winter five hundred years ago, Miyagawa Ming died mysteriously, and his body was found on a desert island in the East China Sea by the strongest man of the Yun Clan, the mad demon Blue Fire Crane. Later, after tracking down the murderer to no avail, Peach committed suicide in front of Akira Miyagawa's grave. The legend of the couple, who was once the most eye-catching, has disappeared.
This poignant legend, whether it is in the Yuntian Continent or in the Great Wilderness, is well known.
"Why did the statue of Senior Tao appear here?" Huo Jing said incredulously.
"These two fifth-order Vajra apes were once her allies. Ye Qingcheng pointed to looking at the remains of the two white-haired Vajra apes guarding the statue.
Huo Jing nodded and said, "It's understandable for the alliance beast to protect the statue of its master. ”
"How could Brother Qingcheng know this?" asked Bao Jun.
"My master once had a friendship with Momo's seniors. Ye Qingcheng said: "It was he who sued me." Just as I had fled here for refuge, he told me to come and offer incense. ”
"How big is your master?" Bao Jun then asked.
Ye Qingcheng took a step forward, walked to the table, picked up a burst of incense, lit it on the ever-bright lamp next to him, and said: "The old man only said that his surname is Gu Mu and he comes from the Great Wilderness, he should be an old beast tamer in the Great Wilderness who does not want to reveal his name, and I don't know anything else." Later, when I see him for real, I'll ask him about it. ”
"Yes, accepting a disciple and not even wanting to reveal his name is really mysterious. Huo Jing smiled helplessly.
Ye Qingcheng took the incense and bowed a few times in front of the statue, then inserted the incense into the incense burner, and raised his hand to pick up the dusty little bell on the sacrificial table. Then he wiped the dust off the bell and found that its luster was inconspicuous, dark gold, and a peach blossom pattern was printed on it. It's just that this quaint little bell is empty and has no bell core.
"What kind of bell is this?" Huo Jing asked.
Ye Qingcheng shook his head, he didn't know either.
"Since it's a relic of Momo's predecessor, brother, please put it back. Huo Jing said.
"The old man asked me to take it. Ye Qingcheng said: "He said that in the future, if I have the ability to break through the Great Wilderness, I will send this thing to the Golden Dragon Clan to find the Miyagawa Clan's dragon herdsman." It just so happens that Miyagawa Xue is in the country of Baishi, and if she can go back alive, she will be returned to her directly. ”
