Chapter 44: The Belonging of the Little Four
Although Xiao Si's fever has completely subsided, the scars on her body cannot be healed overnight. In order not to leave too many scars on Xiao Si's body, Cheng Yuxi took the initiative to take out his own elixir that could remove scars, and after grinding it into powder, he applied it to her every once in a while.
Since Xiao Si was sent here with scars, except for when she just woke up, she would take the initiative to say "thank you", and the rest of the time Xiao Si sat on the bed alone, looking at the scenery outside the window, as if she was thinking about something.
Because the fire in the warehouse of the Treasure Pavilion was relatively serious, so that afternoon, the businessmen who often stayed with Ouyang Yu got together, planning to have a good talk about this matter.
Ouyang Yu also called Cheng Yuxi over, in his eyes, Cheng Yuxi was also half of the person in charge of this trip, so he felt that Cheng Yuxi was qualified to know everything he knew.
Cheng Yuxi did not refuse, and after asking Fengwu to take care of Xiaosi, he went downstairs.
Seeing that Cheng Yuxi had just come down, Boss Li said, "Miss Cheng, don't come to harm!" ”
Cheng Yuxi sat down elegantly in front of the round table, then nodded lightly, and said with a light smile: "Don't come to harm." ”
"Actually, I saw Miss Cheng on the burning warehouse before." Boss Li said, "I wonder if Miss Cheng knows something about the Treasure Pavilion?" ”
Cheng Yuxi didn't really want to tell Xiao Si about the existence, but apart from Xiao Si, Cheng Yuxi didn't have any gains, so after she pondered for a while, she said, "I met someone from the Dark Pavilion. ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere that was originally still a little happy suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at Cheng Yuxi a little sluggishly, and after a long time, a man said: "Miss Cheng is really a master of art and bold, this dark pavilion comes and goes without a trace, and the people inside are all very dangerous, how can you see it if you want to see it......
Cheng Yuxi said: "When the warehouse caught fire before, the Dark Pavilion did send a few people to put out the fire. ”
After Ouyang Yu glanced at the expressions of the others, he also said: "I know about this matter, but it seems that something exploded, so the members of the Dark Pavilion who are relatively close to the warehouse seem to have seriously injured a few." ”
Boss Li nodded, and then said with some concern: "The Wancheng Assembly has been held for so many years, and this year is the first time such a thing has happened......
Everyone else heard the worry in Boss Li's voice, and sighed one after another.
I saw an obese man say, "Do you think this matter will have anything to do with the people in the desert?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over curiously, and Boss Li seemed to feel that he couldn't understand this man's words, so he asked, "Desert people?" What kind of desert people, are they from the Western Regions? ”
"Yes, Boss Li, haven't you been to the market recently?" The man said, "Desert people are now common, and they sell mostly silk and painted utensils, as well as ......."
When he said this, the man hesitated for a moment, glanced at Cheng Yuxi, and then continued: "There are also some beautiful desert women. ”
Boss Li's eyes widened, as if he had never heard of such a thing, and he stammered and asked, "Isn't this human trafficking?" I think this isn't allowed in the Ten Thousand Cities rally! ”
"That's right, Boss Li." Ouyang Yu had also seen the desert man who sold women, presumably he should have also gone over to find out, so he said: "This Xiao Cheng's decree has been changed a month ago, saying that in order to make the city's trade more prosperous, not only do people from other remote places now be allowed to trade here, but also decided to hold the concept of following the local customs, and allow the desert people to trade in human beings. After a pause, Ouyang Yu said: "But it's just that desert people are allowed, non-desert people are not allowed to do this." ”
Speaking of desert people, Cheng Yuxi unconsciously remembered the Luier he met yesterday when the warehouse caught fire.
Most of the desert people are blonde and blue-eyed, presumably Lou Yier is also a desert person, and he is in hot pursuit of Xiao Si, when Xiao Si threw the Holy Tattoo to him, he left without saying a word.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yuxi opened his mouth and asked, "Everyone, I have something I want to ask you. ”
"Miss Cheng, please speak." Boss Li said.
Cheng Yuxi nodded, and then said: "That's the case, I met a few desert people who were performing in the market in the east of the city yesterday, and I overheard their communication, and I vaguely heard that they seemed to be talking about something called 'Saint Wenpei', I don't know if anyone has heard of it?" ”
After Ouyang Yu heard this, he shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this kind of thing. ”
The other merchants looked at each other, and after thinking about it, they all shook their heads, saying that they had never seen this thing at all.
Just when Cheng Yuxi was about to give up, Boss Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Is the Holy Tattoo Pendant that Miss Cheng said a blood-red jade pendant in the shape of a flame?" ”
Cheng Yuxi recalled the red thing he saw when Xiao Si threw the Holy Tattoo Pei to Louyle, nodded, and said, "Boss Li knows this?" ”
Boss Li smiled and said, "I was stupid, I used to follow my grandfather to the desert to do business before, because I met a sand bandit and was rescued by the desert people who lived in the local area, so I was able to learn some things, and Shengwenpei is one of them." ”
Cheng Yuxi hurriedly asked, "I want to hear about it!" ”
Anyway, everyone can't find any clue about the warehouse fire, so it's better to listen to Boss Li talk about exotic customs, which can be regarded as making up for the regret that he has not traveled far.
Boss Li pondered for a moment, as if he was recalling the original details, only to see him say in a low voice: "Most of the desert people living in the Western Regions believe in a god called the Great Light God, and the sect that worships this god is called the Holy Fire Sect. Because they believe that the wildfire that burned the plain turned into a desert, and the Great God of Light came to the world, which will bless the herdsmen's cattle and sheep with fat and beautiful, will bless the spring water, and at the same time will let the children who are lost in the wind and sand find their way home. ”
"Sounds like an ordinary god." One person said.
Boss Li nodded, and then said: "But the desert people seem to have only this one Great Light God, and they also trust this Great Light God, and will let their children participate in the selection of the Holy Fire Sect after they become adults, and the children who are selected by the Great Light God will become the Holy Son and become the stand-in of the Great Light God, while the other children who pass will become the sword disciples of the Holy Fire Sect." ”
With a knife, it should be the two scimitars behind the desert people's backs, and Louyle has one behind his back, could it be that he is a knife disciple of the Holy Fire Sect?
"What about the Holy Emblem?" Seeing that Boss Li said a lot of things and didn't say anything about the key points, some people became impatient: "What is the Holy Tattoo Pendant?" ”
"The Holy Flame is actually a symbol of the identity of the Holy Son of the Holy Fire Sect, and legend has it that it was transformed by the heart of the Great Light God." After Boss Li thought about it, he smiled again: "But I actually heard of a wild history, I don't know if you are interested?" ”
Everyone listened to the story and said, "You say it!" ”
Boss Li laughed and continued: "This wild history was copied by myself from an abandoned temple of the desert people, and spent a lot of money to ask a person who is proficient in the languages of the Western Regions to translate it, probably the content is that the Great Light God is not a person, it actually has a twin sister, and later became the holy daughter of the Holy Fire Sect, but this holy woman said that it was to calm the anger of Helyiru and died with this Helyiru." ”
"Helyiru?" This name is too awkward, but Cheng Yuxi clearly remembers that Lou Yier once said a sentence: Another piece of holy emblem disappeared with the death of the saint.
Don't......
Sure enough, after Boss Li pronounced the name with difficulty, he said: "When the sister of the Great Light God was going to conquer Hel Yiru, the Great Light God split the Holy Pattern made of his own heart from the middle, half of it was held by himself, and the other half was given to the Holy Maiden as her amulet, and finally this Holy Symbol disappeared with the death of this Holy Maiden, and I heard that it was buried in the deepest part of the desert and became an oasis that no one could find." ”
"Hey, you said that the story of the Western Regions is quite bizarre." A man said, "Holy Wenpei, Holy Fire Sect or something, it sounds really incredible hahaha." ”
The others had the same idea as the man, but they didn't say it.
But Cheng Yuxi didn't just listen to this story as a story, she kept thinking about the relationship between Lou Yier and Xiaosi and that piece of Saint Tattoo, but she never got the point.
And the brief conversation on their side was over, and the merchants left the place one after another, and returned to the inn where they were staying.
Ouyang Yu seemed to sense that Cheng Yuxi was bothered by something, and he asked, "You seem to care about the desert people?" ”
Cheng Yuxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I haven't seen this kind of blonde and blue-eyed person before." ”
Ouyang Yu didn't think too deeply, he really thought that Cheng Yuxi was just just curious, so he laughed a few times and said, "You can go and ask our account office, Mr. Zhao, he knows much more than us." ”
