Chapter 6: Gods and Demons
Thousands of miles away, on the back of the Dapeng bird and look down on the distance, the scenery of the rivers and mountains is picturesque, the two little babies sighed and were stunned, only to feel that this point of the road is short and fleeting, and until dawn from the sky to look down, the city-state of Kyoto is like three strings of gourds, surrounded by mountains and white water meanders out through half of the city and then turns to the southwest.
At this moment, it was the trade fair between the Eastern and Western Taizhou countries, and hundreds of merchants were built on the outskirts of the city, and the city guards in Kyoto were even more heavily guarded.
The two babies who came out of the small village and town didn't know where to find Zhongzheng Guoshi, seeing so many people on the outskirts of the city so lively, their eyes didn't stop with excitement, the two discussed a few words seriously, they really couldn't miss this store, so they chose a ridge and jumped off the back of the Dapeng bird, and trotted towards the trading rally.
At that trade fair, the door of the store in Dongyu Zhou Kingdom was planted with red and black door flags, and most of the items sold were exquisite fabrics and utensils, as well as pen and ink paintings, and there were also many rare birds and animals. The stores in Xitai Zhou are marked by the dark blue door flag, and most of the sales are all kinds of long and short weapons and fishing gear, as well as various animal skins and bones, and of course, there is no shortage of live animals for sale.
Yan and Yu mixed in the crowd, although they looked lively, but the treasures in the mountains and seas had already seen a lot, so although they were excited, they were not much strange. In a store in Xitaizhou, he saw a swarthy long knife, with a faint red glow in the dark metal, and couldn't help but stepped forward and touched it, and was about to lift it, when he heard a loud shout coldly, "Little baby, go away, can you touch this thousand manium flame knife casually?" A rough big hand pressed on the handle of the knife, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a nine-foot man with thick eyebrows and cold eyes, his eyes full of strength and impatience.
"Can't I touch it?" Yan couldn't stand this kind of gaze, and was about to withdraw his hand to lift his strength, but he rebelled against the pressure of the big man. In the astonishment of the shopkeeper and a few onlookers, he retreated with all his might, and the flaming knife snapped into the earth.
Yan grimaced, turned around and dragged Yu and ran out. Turning around a few stores, suddenly a violent beast roared, the store in front of him was actually hung with the door flag of Dongyu Zhouguo, the door face is not big, there are only a dozen cages of large and small stored in it, but it is a rare species, attracting a large number of spectators, the roaring beast cage in front of the crowd is too crowded, Yan and Yu drilled into the crowd to squeeze to the front, only to see an ape-like giant beast wearing shackles, white head and red feet pacing back and forth anxiously in the special cage.
Yu looked at the violent dark red eyes of the giant beast, but he couldn't help but palpitate with the angry rage, and grabbed Yan's hand.
Yan sensed the beast's hostility and dragged Yu behind her.
Hearing the sighs of the crowd about the beast, the long arm of the beast passed through the cage fence and grabbed at the feather like a hook. Yan didn't know the depth of the beast and didn't dare to fight hard, but hugged the feather and rolled on the spot to avoid the past, only to see that the ground was dug out of five scorched black deep marks, everyone was frightened and retreated from a distance, the shopkeeper heard the riot and came to inspect, but it was a strangely dressed woman with a good face, painted with light blue eyeshadow, outlining a spicy face style.
She drew the long vine-like whip wrapped around her waist and whipped it at the cage, which sparked sparks and the beast curled up in a ball with a scream. When the beast was completely honest, she put away her whip, glanced at Yan haughtily, and turned to leave.
"Big sister, what kind of beast is this?" Yu asked timidly!
The woman raised her eyes slightly, glanced at him, did not look back, waved her hand as if she was too lazy to answer, and motioned for them to get out of the way.
"How do you sell this beast?" Yan yelled at the woman's back.
The woman turned to look at him and said flatly, "You can't afford it and you can't afford it." ”
"How do you know that I can't afford it, master, I just want it, you make a bid. ”
An old man with long eyebrows suddenly ran to the side and persuaded, "Baby, what do you want this thing for?" It is a fierce beast named Zhu Yan, although it has the ability to open mountains and shake the earth, but it has to eat a hundred pairs of hearts and livers every day, baby, let's go, let's go." ”
The faces of these two little babies changed color, and they were speechless for a long time.
The woman snorted softly, never looked back, and went away.
The old man with long eyebrows took the hands of the two, avoided the crowd and went to the side and whispered, "Little baby, don't provoke this woman, she has a background." If you have anything to do in Kyoto, hurry up. ”
Yu asked suspiciously, "Old man, you seem to know the purpose of our visit to Kyoto." Who are you?"
The old man with long eyebrows smiled, "The little old man's name is Jiang Drunk, I have no malicious intentions, listen to me, you hurry up and go into the city." ”
Yan frowned and asked bluntly, "Then can you take us to see Zhongzheng Guoshi?"
The old man with long eyebrows said without hesitation, "I'll take you to the National Teacher's Mansion." ”
The old man with long eyebrows seemed to be very familiar with Kyoto, and after dealing with the guards at the city gate, he took them into the city, and the bustling and elegant streets and pavilions attracted the two little children to stop and stay frequently, and they found that almost all the merchants they saw on the road offered a kind of portrait of the gods, which was a woman in red stepping barefoot on a pile of bones, which was quite eerie and terrifying.
But the faces of the women depicted on these portraits are different, but no matter what Yan Yuan, she always has a fierce expression, and the tablet reads: Shizun Mountain Lord!
Occasionally, some families also offer another kind of god next to the lord of the world-honored mountain, and the tablet reads: Fuhai Dragon God.
Yan took a closer look at a statue of the dragon god, shook his head and said, "It's not well carved, it's not half as good-looking as Sister Female Zheng." ”
Yu came over and looked at it and asked, "Brother, what does the dragon god look like, this sister I met today is also very beautiful, which one is better than the dragon god?"
Yan snorted, "Is she beautiful?
The old man with long eyebrows stomped his feet, "Little ancestor, please don't talk about her anymore." ”
Yan and Yu glanced at each other, and Yu muttered, "Could it be that she can still hear us?"
The old man with long eyebrows snorted and was silent, but the meaning of that expression was worried Zhongzhong.
Hooked by this mystery, they couldn't suppress their curiosity and guessed the woman's origin.
Unconsciously walking to a magnificent mansion, the old man with long eyebrows said, "The National Teacher's Mansion has arrived, and the little old man will be sent here, so go in by yourself." ”
In the end, when Yan and Yu reacted, this old man fled like oil on the soles of his feet, making people think that there were demons living in the National Teacher's Mansion.
Not frightened by the momentum, Yan stepped forward to explain that he was coming to inform the goalkeeper, presented General Qi Dong's letter, and soon a general came to lead the two to the side hall.
An old man with a clear appearance was among them.
Yan stepped forward to greet him and asked, "Are you the National Teacher?"
The old man saw that these two children were handsome and cute, and he didn't blame them for being reckless, and said with a slight smile, "The old man is the housekeeper of this national teacher's mansion, his surname is Ji Mingwen, and the two little sons please take a seat." ”
Listening to Yan's explanation, he asked him again about meeting the dragon god at sea. Finally, he asked, "Little boy, the dragon god blesses me Dongyuzhou, and it will definitely make my country prosperous, but the dragon god asks for this floating music score is unheard of in the world, can you ask the god to appear in the Temple of Heaven to explain the decree in detail?"
Yan was speechless for a while, so he had to blush and say, "But I don't know how to find her." She flickered back and forth, and I couldn't help it. ”
Ji Wen sighed, "This is difficult, the two little sons might as well stay in the mansion for a few days, and think about whether there is any way to ask to see the dragon god, General Qidong's letter will definitely be forwarded to the national teacher." ”
After Ji Wen arranged accommodation, there was no news for a few days.
At this time, Yan and Yu just thought that they had not won the trust of the national teacher, and in the child's world, a lie is a lie after all, and there is always a pair of discerning eyes that can see through everything to stare at themselves, no matter what the reason is in the name of the dragon god, the inner uneasiness is always affecting emotions and judgments.
Yu couldn't help but ask, "Brother, doesn't the national teacher want to see us at all?"
Yan also felt distressed, "Eighty percent of them dislike us for being young and want to talk to the dragon god in person. ”
Yu said ashamedly, "But the dragon god won't help us find the twilight song!"
"No," Yan said affirmatively, "the dragon god will definitely help us!"
Although Yu didn't know where he got such confidence, he was still encouraged, "Should we go to find the dragon god, but where can we find it?"
Yan said with a smile, "The dragon god rides the wind and rain, and is not in the world." ”
Yu said, "Brother, why don't we go find the Dragon Temple in Kyoto?"
Yan jumped up as if he was stimulated, "How can those clay wood carvings that even the appearance of the dragon god be incorrectly depicted, I don't want it, I'd rather go into the sea to find her myself." ”
Yu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know what to say.
After a pause, Yan whispered, "I'll go out for a walk and think about it again." ”
Yan vented as he walked through the bustling streets of Kyoto, he didn't understand why he felt so depressed, the bustle of the streets seemed to be far away from him, the beautiful female zither, the distant dragon girl - the portraits that came to him were like obstacles that could not be ignored in his mind, and he felt the dragon scales that he was carrying, and the scales were glowing.
The female kite took away the rusty sword and the short sword, but left the dragon scales with him, isn't this a souvenir of seeing you again in the future?
However, after so long, the Liufeng Void Mirror has collapsed, has the so-called fierce sword been sealed?
About Liufeng, about the golden retriever, about the female zither, he has many, many doubts that he can't figure out!
If Jing woke up, maybe there would be a simple answer to all this, but now he could only let himself think about it and get more and more depressed.
Suddenly, he went crazy and shouted, "Sister Female Zheng, why did you secretly leave by yourself." ”
"Why didn't you come to me, have you forgotten about me?"
Yu chased after him, and he was shocked when Yan's wild shouts broke into his heart.
The elder brother has an obsession hidden in his heart, and he is lost in the days when he meets the dragon god.
