Chapter 20: Totem
The first general of the Arisi South Tart, who can command ten thousand armies. Feng Lu T Nan tart Yong left army commander, gave more than 100 cloths, 800 cattle and sheep. Feng Chongyu Wanhu Marquis, given the surname Qiyan, the chief minister, more than 100 cloths, 100 taels of gold and silver, 50 jade agate. Feng Zhao Yinan tart Yong right army vanguard, Zhao Eryong right army commander, more than 100 cloth, 100 taels of gold and silver, a total of 30 jade agate, given the surname of Xiao'er only catty.
"It's not fair, why didn't I give anything?" Aris puffed up.
Gerry corrected the fold without looking up, "Last time I rewarded you with the jade jade pendant in the heart of the lake, you took it to exchange it for half a bag of milk tofu from others" Dipping it in ink and continuing: "The Xuanjin Red Crown was taken and replaced with one... Sheep," he sighed.
"Give it to me, I'll pay you back then." said that he was a little ignorant, muttering, "It makes me so embarrassed." ”
Gilda, who was waiting on the side, pouted and said, "You can change what the king gave you for whatever you want, which will lose the king's face."
"Alas, I know, don't don't" mocked with his hands behind his back: "You little thief can talk about people"
Jeddah tilted his head and smiled, but didn't answer again.
Aris said, "Is there something the king is looking for me?" ”
Gerry put down the pen in his hand, "There have been frequent rockfalls on Mount Kinabalu recently, and this matter cannot be publicized, I want to send you to investigate the reasons for each." ”
"It's strange," Aris looked suspicious, "This matter is very important, I will investigate quietly, and I don't know about others"
"Hmm"
At the gates of Bayani,
"Weng Chengguan is in a critical position, and the king sent you two to rely on you, but you can't live up to the holy will," Chongyu arched his hand.
Zhao Yihan said with a smile: "That's natural, no one can ever get from Weng Cheng with me." ”
Chongyu laughed loudly: "You have to stay to buy road money?" ”
Zhao Yi also laughed and scratched his head.
"Brother Chongyu, let's go back, the two of us don't dare to delay, let's go," Zhao Er bowed and said.
"Go ahead, have a nice trip, come back and drink together!"
Zhao Yi and Zhao Er got on the horse and rode away, and a shout came from the wind: "Brother Chongyu is back to drink together!" ”
Chongyu laughed when he heard this, turned to leave.
At noon, Su Qing slowly walked up the steps, stopped at the door of the conference hall, and waited quietly. After a moment, Gerry walked out of it, raised his eyes and saw Su Qing, the corners of his mouth turned up, and walked quickly towards Su Qing, taking her hand.
"Want me to eat?"
Su Qing looked at him warmly, "Knowingly asked"
Gerry smiled and took Su Qing's hand and walked down the stairs, "What to eat?" ”
"What do you eat at noon on weekdays?"
Gerry thought for a while, "It's the dining room in the palace, do you want to try it?" ”
"Okay!"
The winter wind smells a little good, like the scent of grass with a mint flavor, which cleans the heart and lungs. The two walked hand in hand on the path of the palace, the warm sun was warm, and the snow was also affectionate.
Walking to the dining room, Su Qing remembered something and said, "I saw Lin Mo in the dining room last time, but I haven't found it since." ”
Gerry pulled Su Qing into his arms and hugged him, and reassured: "Don't worry, she can't make it to the climate"
Su Qing snorted and pulled Gerry to see today's cuisine.
There was a rickety old man standing at the door of the dining room, Su Qing looked a little familiar, it should have been the last time he delivered food, and Lin Mo followed him in.
Gerry followed Su Qing's line of sight and explained: "This person is deaf and dumb, but his heart is not bad, the previous king allowed him to enter the palace to deliver food, I look really pitiful, so I have been letting him do this for a living." ”
Su Qing nodded, he should have thought too much, moved his gaze back, and didn't think about anything else.
Aris didn't alarm anyone, and came to the mountain alone, the temperature of the mountain was cooler than other places, it was a snow-capped mountain, and he shivered when he got closer. I rubbed my arms and walked in. There are often rockfalls on the north side of Mount Kinabalu, and Gerry often asks some soldiers to deal with them secretly.
Mt. Kinabalu is the god that has been guarded and worshiped by the southern tart for generations, and there can be no damage, if it is found that there is a falling rock, the people will be in turmoil, and the people will panic and do not know what they will do.
It was quiet, only the stream at the bottom of the valley was flowing happily, and there was the sound of falling water on the inner wall of Mount Kinabalu, and there was nothing unusual about it. Gradually walking inside, Aris narrowed his eyes and muttered, "... There are footprints."
Just about to follow the footprints to go inside, he heard a slight footstep outside, and quickly flew into the raised mountain mugwort to hide.
As the footsteps approached, and went far,
Boom!
A flying rock slammed into Aris, who quickly turned around and dodged.
"What people!"
Aris frowned at the sound and walked out of the stone wall.
"It's me," Aris said in a deep voice.
Rout had never heard Aris in such a serious voice, and his hands and feet were a little tight.
"Why are you here?" Aris stared at Root and asked, "On weekdays, the sacred mountain is not allowed to approach without a will, don't you know?" ”
Rout was about to open his mouth and was a little embarrassed, his dark face flushed.
"chirp, say!" Aris roared.
"I... I said, "Faces are even redder when he yells at Aris, "yes... It's Zhiyan from the rouge shop, I like her, but I don't know what to do, so I went and asked Zana. Zhana said that he would come to Shenshan to pick a hundred snow lotuses for him, and he would tell me how to chase the girl," he said, scratching his head, his eyes not knowing where to look.
Aris listened to the tone a little softer: "What is this girl talking about, do you still believe her?" ”
"Well, I don't know how to talk to other women, so I can only ask her," he explained anxiously, a little cute.
Aris laughed and snorted: "Then you go and pick it, I won't help you"
"Oh" Seeing Aris's gentle face, he also smiled happily and walked in, and then came back to his senses and asked, "Master, what are you doing here at Shenshan?" ”
"The king said that my heart is not quiet, and I want to come to the sacred mountain to meditate, didn't you see that I didn't even reward me with objects this time!" Aris got angry when he thought about it, "You have so many problems! Hurry up and leave after picking! He made a gesture to hit Root on the head.
"Oooo I'll go right away! Rout covered his head and hurriedly walked out.
After Rutter left, Aris frowned again and walked deeper.
"There is a totem on the deep wall, the wall seems to be empty, there should be something inside, but I didn't move too much, for fear of startling the snake." Aris reported.
Gerry frowned: "In this way, the falling rocks of the sacred mountain are man-made"
Aris replied in a deep voice: "I can't be sure if the falling rocks have anything to do with this, but the sacred mountain has indeed been moved. ”
Gerry tapped his fingers on the tabletop and fell into deep thought, "Totem? What? ”
Aris recalled, "It's like... The text of the ancient Nan tart is very cumbersome, but it is very small, and it cannot be seen if you do not look carefully. I'll draw it for you later. ”
"Well, you'll have to keep looking. I have too much government affairs to get out of my body. Tomorrow you will find Shuanghu to accompany you. ”
"Okay" Aris hesitated a little, "...... today. I..."
Gerry looked at him, puzzled, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”
Aris smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, let's go first." ”
"Hmm" Looking at Aris's back, Gerry put away his smile.
Falling into the middle of the night, in a hazy sight, Su Qing walked up the steps one by one, and there were many people lying on the steps, wearing armor and blood...
More and more blood flowed down the stairs, looking up like there was no end, walking and walking, getting more and more anxious, trying to find someone. The corpses were all over the field, the blood flowed like a river, and the door of the temple at the end of the stairs was pushed open with force, and more blood came into view, corpses...
There was a kneeling man in the middle, his hair was scattered, he was holding a long knife, his body was full of wounds, and this was the source of the blood, and he walked quickly towards him, his hand gently pulling away the scattered hair, and his face was covered with blood
Be...
Gerry!!!
Boom!
"Ahh Su Qing sat up from the bed suddenly, took a big breath, raised his eyes and looked around, it was a familiar furnishing, the moon sprinkled all over the tent, like the gray in a dream, a little terrifying.
I was sweating profusely, and now I was a little cold, so I covered myself with the quilt and wrapped myself up, it was just a dream.
It's just a dream......
The next morning, she packed herself up and hurried out the door, she was now desperate to see him. Whole, alive him.
As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw a man riding a horse in the distance, who was the person he wanted to see.
Gerry saw Su Qing standing outside the account leading the horse, and jumped off the horse with a smile, "Today..."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Su Qing ran over and hugged Gerry.
Gerry was stunned for a moment, then hugged her tightly and coaxed softly, "What's the matter?" ”
“... I had a nightmare," Su Qing said sullenly.
Gerry gently patted Su Qing's head, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the top of her head, "Good dreams, good dreams, good dreams"
"Huh?"
"Just say good dreams three times, all nightmares will not come true, and all nightmares will become good dreams."
Su Qing chuckled lightly in his arms, "Spirit? ”
"Spirit," Gerry coaxed.
Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and asked, "Why did you come to me so early today?" ”
"I'm going to the Ministry of Rites today to check on something, just with you," Gerry sorted out the hair on Su Qing's sideburns
"Hmm" Su Qing nodded, "Then let's go, I'm fine"
"Well, let's go," Grille pulled Su Qing.
Walking in front of the horse, Gerry directly hugged Su Qing to the horse, and jumped behind Su Qing himself.
"Huh! My horse..."
"Don't worry, I'll send you back in the evening," Gerry deliberately whispered in Su Qing's ear. It made the tips of Su Qing's ears red, and he forgot what he was going to say for a while.
The two walked into the door of the Ministry of Rites hand in hand,
"What are you going to look for?" Su Qing asked.
"About ancient characters or totems," Gerry teased, "want to help?" ”
Su Qing couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm very happy"
Su Qing led Gerry into a library building, and the books in the room were sorted into categories and organized very neatly. You can also smell the smell of old books.
"This is where the ancient books are stored"
Gerry looked around, took out the totem drawn by Aris, and handed it to Su Qing, who took it and opened it and observed it carefully for a while.
"It's this totem, I'm going to find a text about this totem or something about it."
