5. Memories (5)
Xingchen showed the phantom feather in front of Anastasia, and after reading it, asked, "Where is your home?" There may still be people from the Demon Realm here, I have to send you back first, and then I will go back to help the Immortal Monarch and them. ”
"Hey, wait, you want to dress like this and leave?" Anastasia pointed to the tattered clothes on the stars.
Xingchen looked at his body, and his clothes were not intact.
Anastasia sneered, "Let's go, this is closer to my house, there are a lot of clothes there, you can choose, if you don't fancy it, you can customize it, it can be regarded as repaying you for saving the city." ”
Xingchen thought about changing his clothes, but it wouldn't take long, so he agreed.
After entering the royal palace, Anastasia arranged the stars in the reception room, which was usually the residence of foreign envoys. "You sit here for a while, and I'll go to my father's place first."
After a while, Anastasia walked in, "Come, my father wants to see you." ”
Xingchen walked out of the back door of the reception room with Anastasia, and when he went out, he saw that there was a dense forest on the left and right, and a road in the middle, and he walked on the road for a long time.
Suddenly, it suddenly became clear that behind the dense forest was an elegant palace.
There is a statue of a woman in front of the palace, the statue is well preserved as a whole, but the facial features may be a little blurred because of the age, and it looks like a woman in the fairy world from the posture and dress.
Walking into the main hall, I walked up from the spiral staircase on the right side of the main hall, and when I walked to the top of the stairs, I saw a middle-aged man who was not very different from the Oriental.
"Father" Anastasia saluted with her right hand on her chest, and the stars followed suit.
The king looked at Xingchen and saw that Xingchen's clothes were tattered, but his temperament was extraordinary, and his eyes were deep, faintly revealing the demeanor of a king.
"No need to be polite, sit down in my room first, and tell me in detail what happened today." After speaking, he made a gesture of please to the stars.
Xingchen also bent down slightly, and also made a gesture of please, "Please lead the way." ”
Anastasia said to Xingchen, "I'll go get you clothes," looked at Xingchen's height, and went downstairs.
After entering the king's room, Xingchen looked at it, it was not as luxurious as he imagined, but the daily necessities that should be had were complete.
The king himself sat down in his chair and motioned for the stars to sit casually.
As soon as Xingchen sat down, the king went straight to the point: "Just now, my beloved daughter briefly told me about the experience of the two of you, and told me that you came from heaven. He pointed to it.
Xingchen replied, "Yes, I am from the fairy world..." Xingchen told the king all about his experience in the cultivation realm.
Hearing this, the king recalled the words of the ancestor and asked again, "Are you really from the fairy realm?" ”
"Don't dare to be fake." Xingchen didn't understand what the king meant by asking.
Then the king pulled the stars down in one of the rooms, and saw a large bed behind him, and on either side of the bed there was a pair of tables, on which were placed blue and white porcelain, and the king walked to the blue and white porcelain on the right and turned it a few times.
Only a mechanical sound was heard, and the bed began to slowly move to the left, and a dark tunnel appeared under the original bed.
"Let's go" After saying that, he walked down first, and Xingchen followed.
After entering the dark passage, Xingchen saw the king fiddling with something in the recess on the side, and suddenly the door that opened behind him slowly closed.
There are dim lights on the walls on both sides of the tunnel every few meters, but they are bright in the narrow passageway.
The two of them kept walking down the secret passage, and after a while, the king stopped and pointed to the secret room to his right, "This is it." ”
The king and the stars walked in, and saw that the space inside was very large, several times larger than the king's room, and it was empty, except for the walls and the secret room, where there were twelve sarcophagi of various sizes, and nothing else.
The king walked up to one of the coffins, knelt down and buckled his head, and when he got up, he asked the stars to come and "come and help open the sarcophagus." ”
Xingchen went over and opened the sarcophagus with the king, revealing a complete skeleton with a strand of hair under the skull, the bones of a woman.
There was also a roll of pink silk on the bones, and the king took it out with both hands and handed it to Xingchen, who also took it with both hands, just put it on his hand, touched the silkiness on it, and found that it was not an ordinary silk.
"Here are the kings of the past," the king said, "and the one lying in this coffin next to us is the previous king, who was also my grandmother.
I heard my grandmother say that this silk is a treasure, and it has been passed down for 12 generations, and I am the 13th generation. The king began to recall the scene of his grandmother's deathbed.
"My grandmother told me that about 500 years ago, a fairy woman came to us, and she was holding this silk in her hand, and at that time it was a desert and there was no city.
The first king of the capital city was attacked by monsters when he passed through this place, and was rescued by a woman from the fairy world, who helped the first king establish this capital city.
Until one day the fairy suddenly disappeared, and when she saw it again, the fairy was covered in wounds and dying, and finally the fairy died.
Before he died, he handed over this silk to the first king, and said, "This is the magic weapon of the fairy world, Shengtian Aya, I can't return to the fairy world now, if you or your descendants can meet the people of the fairy world again after many years, you can hand it over to him, and tell him that there is above..." "Before he finished speaking, the whole person turned into starlight and dissipated."
Seeing that Xingchen had been staring at the Holy Celestial Aya, the king did not speak, and continued: "Because there is no corpse in the ground, the first king has hired the best craftsmen in the city to spend nearly two years to build the colossus, which is the one he saw before entering the palace.
More than 500 years ago, it is still well preserved, and every year on the sixth day of the third month, that is, the day of the death of the fairy, a large-scale sacrifice will be held. ”
Only then did Xingchen understand the origin of the statue at the door, and understood that the Holy Heavenly Silk was the magic weapon of the fairy world, no wonder there was a familiar feeling when he touched it.
The king looked at Sheng Tianya and said, "Okay, the mission given to me by the kings of the past has been completed, so let's cover the sarcophagus." Xingchen and the king closed the sarcophagus together, and the king again buckled the sarcophagus three heads and left the chamber with Xingchen.
After exiting the secret passage, the king restored the room to its original state, and went out of the room with the stars and went downstairs.
At this time, Anastasia came over with a dress, and Xingchen looked at it and thought, "Isn't this the one I have?"
Anastasia walked up to Xingchen and saw that Xingchen had pink silk tied around her waist, and didn't pay much attention to it. I compared my clothes to the stars, almost.
"This is what I asked our special tailor in the city to order, the size is not bad, the material may be far worse than yours, give."
Xingchen took the clothes, made of silk cloth, the workmanship is also relatively fine, and the pattern, style, and color of the clothes are completely restored, it is already very good to be able to make it like this.
This is also thanks to Anastasia's divine memory.
Anastasia took Xingchen into a random room and told him to change his clothes first.
Xingchen quickly changed his clothes and came out.
The king said to Anastasia, "Take the stars everywhere, I have something to do." Anastasia nodded, and walked out of the palace with the stars.
Walking to the stone statue, Xingchen said to Anastasia: "This time I really have to go, my mission is not over yet, the two sides of the fairy and demon are now fighting fiercely, I will go back to help them." ”
Anastasia understood what the stars meant, and nodded.
The stars turned into beams of light and flew into the sky, and there was no one in the demon world who looked down from the sky along the way, and began to feel the nearby demonic energy, but there was none, and then sent a message to the immortals, the task was completed, and they gathered in Lugangling quickly.
The stars flew quickly to the very beginning of the place, Lugang Ridge.
The other immortals also came one after another, and Xingchen probably saw that the number of people was obviously much smaller than the first one, and most of the people present were injured.
Xingchen thought that he still had some red fruit on his body, so he took it out.
Yulin Xingjun saw Xingchen take out this fruit, and said in surprise: "It's the Earth Spirit Fruit, where did this come from." ”
Xingchen told them about his experience after he was separated from the immortals, but he didn't say anything about Phantom Feather and Shengtian Aya.
Yulin Xingjun said: "The Earth Spirit Fruit usually grows in the gathering place of immortal qi, and it usually grows in the immortal realm, and there is actually one in the cultivation realm. ”
Xingchen grew so big and never saw the Earth Spirit Fruit in the fairy world, so Xingchen gave each injured person an Earth Spirit Fruit and ate it.
It also began to react just like when Xingchen ate the Earth Spirit Fruit for the first time, and the wounds on the hands and bodies of different people were slowly recovering.
When they were all tidy, Xingchen said, "Alright, let's go back." After saying that, the first one turned into a beam of light and flew into the sky.
When I arrived at the gate of the fairy world, I found that Xingyan was waiting there. When Xingyan saw the young man led by the immortals, her eyes began to moisten, and she strode towards Xingchen, hugged Xingchen close to his chest and cried.
"Woo, bad brother doesn't tell me the truth, he ran out alone to fight with the people of the Demon Realm, I heard my mother say that there are several masters of the Demon Realm, I'm so worried that you will... Whining. ”
Xingchen looked at the immortals in embarrassment, and all the immortals pretended not to see it and left one after another.
Xingchen had no choice but to pat Xingyan on the back and comfort Xingyan as before: "Okay, okay, isn't it good for me, I also fulfilled my previous promise to bring you good things back." After speaking, she wiped her tears for Xingyan, and then took out the Shengtian Aya from her back.
