CHAPTER XLII

After Yaojuan returned the chess pieces to Lei Yuan, she expected that he would go to confirm the number of chess pieces again, and then she would know that she already knew about his visit to Baili, and the master once said that when a person's most important secret is known by others, if the two of them are not suitable to be friends, they can only become enemies. She and Lei Yuan were not friends in the first place, and she was not sure if what she had just known would pose a threat to Lei Yuan, and all she could do at this time was to leave the mountain immediately while he was undecided.

After going out of the Tai'an Palace, Yaojuan immediately returned to the room, hastily packed up her things, avoided the eyes and ears of Lei Yuan in the palace, and went down the mountain directly.

She hurried back to Baili when it was completely dark.

Yaohuan didn't alarm others, she quietly returned to the bamboo house, and when she was about to sneak in, she was startled by the white qi that suddenly came out behind her.

Bai Qian looked at Yao's eyes, shocked and afraid, as if she had seen a ghost: "High priest?"

Yaowan turned around, sighed and said, "It's me, I'm back." ”

Bai Qi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Yaojuan's sleeve and said, "High Priest, you are finally back. ”

Yaowan shook the goosebumps on her body and said, "Bai Qi, but I haven't seen you for a few days, you don't need to do this." ”

Bai Qi hurriedly said, "High Priest, where have you been? The king can't find you, and he's going crazy." ”

Yaohuan approached the bamboo house and replied, "I didn't go anywhere, I just walked around the neighborhood casually, I only left here for a few days, how to say it is as if I haven't seen each other for more than ten years." ”

Bai Qi followed behind her and said to herself: "The high priest has been gone for ten days, and he has not left a message, Bai Qi thinks that the high priest is leaving us again." ”

Yaojuan walked to the couch and sat down, looked at Bai Qi and said with a smile: "What, you are very reluctant to me?"

Bai Qian nodded and said, "Yes, since the high priest is back, let's go to the king first." ”

Yaohuan shook her head.

Bai Qi seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head, looked at Yaohuan suspiciously, and asked, "The high priest does not want to see the king?"

Yaojuan remained motionless: "You go out and take a look at the sky outside, what time is this, your king should have rested." "Besides, there is a difference between men and women after all, when I go to see Xuan Xuan at this time, won't others gossip?

Bai Qi said with some disappointment: "Oh, I see. ”

Seeing Bai Qian's sad face, Yaowan asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Bai Qian shook his head desperately and said, "It's nothing. ”

Yaojuan was wearing a wide men's dress, she took a good time to straighten the sleeves that were about to fall down, and continued: "Just say what you have, I don't like the way others are swallowing and spitting." ”

Bai Qi looked down at himself and asked, "How does the high priest know that I have something to ask?"

Yao smiled and said, "If it's okay, will you die here and not leave?"

Bai Qi bit his lip and said, "The high priest guessed correctly, there are indeed some things in the clan, and the king has been upset about these things these days. ”

Yaohuan said, "Is it something important?"

Bai Qi said in a mournful voice: "Mrs. Yao is gone. ”

Yaojuan stood up abruptly and asked, "When did it happen?"

Bai Qi bowed his head and said, "On the second day when the high priest left Bai Li?"

Yaowan groaned, "How could it be so coincidental on the second day?"

Bai Qi said: "The maid found it at breakfast time. ”

Yaojuan asked, "What about Xuanyu, and how did he react?"

Bai Qian shook his head and said: "This matter is very strange, Mrs. Yao is the biological mother of Prince Xuanyu, but when Prince Xuanyu knew about this matter, he was not very sad, he just knelt quietly in front of Mrs. Yao's spirit, and did not speak from beginning to end. ”

Yaohuan asked, "Have you found anything unusual?"

Bai Qi replied: "I don't know, we have not seen the body of Mrs. Yao, and the king does not allow the attendants to talk to each other. ”

Yaojuan said, "What about Mrs. Yao's body?"

Bai Qi said: "I was buried yesterday. ”

Yaohuan exclaimed, "So fast?"

Bai Qi replied: "The king said that it is the scorching heat now, so it is better to let the lady enter the earth as soon as possible." ”

Yaowan nodded and asked, "What about Xuanyu, what does Xuanyu say?"

Bai Qian looked at Yaowan and said, "The second prince didn't say anything, just nodded. ”

Yaowan thought for a while, and asked with some uneasiness, "Do you know the cause of Mrs. Yao's death?"

Bai Qi shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, among the white orioles, only the king and the second prince should know." ”

Yaohuan asked, "What about Tu Shanmiao?"

Bai Qi said: "After attending Mrs. Yao's funeral yesterday, Lord Dharma Protector left Bai Li. ”

Yaohuan was slightly stunned and said, "Did she say where she went?"

Bai Qian shook his head again and replied, "I haven't seen the Dharma Protector in the past few days, but I heard from a few good sisters that the Dharma Protector has been with the king these days. ”

Yaojuan asked, "What are they doing in one place?"

Bai Qi said a little indifferently: "It should be the high priest who ordered that the Dharma Protector should perform the duties on your behalf during your absence." ”

Yao Wan questioned: "Are you sure that the two of them are often in one place just for political affairs?" Before she left, she had seen that Tu Shanmiao and Xuan Xuan behaved intimately, and it was not at all like what Bai Qian said.

Bai Qian nodded seriously and said, "If this is not the case, then why does she follow the king every day?"

Yao sighed, "How old are you this year?"

Bai Qi counted with his fingers, and replied very seriously: "After this month, I will be sixteen years old." ”

Yaojuan said: "It turns out that you are only sixteen, no wonder you don't understand." ”

Bai Qi hurriedly stuck up and said, "I don't understand anything?"

Yaowan patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, it's so late, I'm going to rest, you should go back early." ”

Bai Qi was still struggling in place, but was directly pushed out of the door by Yaojiao.

Yaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly: "It's only been more than ten days since I left here, how can this Bai Qi seem to have changed, and some of them can't talk endlessly." ”

She thought about what Bai Qi said, shook her head, and muttered: "You are only sixteen years old, of course you don't understand this matter of men and women, besides, I am more than 30,000 this year, and I haven't figured it out yet, what's going on." ”

She turned back to the couch and closed her eyes to rest, but after a cup of tea, she leaned back on the couch and fell asleep.

Yaowan rode the clouds, came out of the divine realm, and when she walked to an endless wasteland, one of them did not step steadily, but fell from the clouds.

There was no one around, only the sound of Miao's breathing, she turned to look around, and there were only a few dying sea buckthorn trees around, dying in this uninhabited wasteland.

As far as the eye could see, the surrounding land was dry and barren, the heat was pressing, and the surrounding air was dull and abnormal, pressing heavily on the top of people's heads, and Miaohuan felt a little breathless.

This is a land that can only make people feel despair, even the legendary Netherworld Blood Sea where birds and beasts do not come is not as good as it, even if the gods come, they are afraid that they are not willing to stay longer, because there is no life in this place, maybe there is no life here.

Yaohuan was about to leave in the clouds, but a voice sounded in her ears at this time: "Long time no see." ”

The voice was low and hoarse, flickering far and near, as if it was still somewhat familiar, and she felt that she should have heard his voice somewhere.

This hoarse voice was like a magic sound, echoing in Yaojuan's mind, and Yaojuan shivered and involuntarily retreated.

The source of this sound was the mysterious person with a vague face who had appeared in her dreams.

She quickly calmed down and asked in the direction where the voice came from, "Is that you?"

He immediately replied, "Do you remember me?"

Yao Yao hurriedly looked around and asked, "Where is this?"

As soon as the words fell, a black mist appeared from the sky, quickly moved to Yaojuan's side, its voice was extremely clear, as soon as it spoke, a cold voice quickly drilled into Yaojuan's ears: "You should know where this is." ”

Yaohuan looked around vigilantly, and said unhurriedly: "Joke, I haven't been here before, how do you know where this is?"

The black mist churned in the air, and a shrill laugh echoed in the air: "It doesn't matter, you'll know, you'll know soon." ”

Yaohuan continued: "What do you mean?"

The black mist stopped in the air ten steps away from Yaojiao, and said, "This is the land of eternal calamity without life and death, where it is, only you know between heaven and earth." ”

Yaohuan's heart was beating wildly, and she asked with a panicked expression: "What do you mean, you make it clear." ”

He suddenly laughed and said, "You are an immortal, how can you not understand what I said?"

Yaohuan hurriedly went to get the fire spirit bead in her sleeve, and after looking for a long time, but she didn't find anything, she clasped her hands and asked, "Who are you, why do you keep following me?"

The man said, "You forgot about me so quickly?"

Yaojuan was shocked, looked at him and asked, "Could it be that we know each other?"

The man said, "You really don't remember?"

Still looking at the black mist with vigilance, she shook her head and said, "Since Your Excellency said so, then we must know each other, if you don't show your true colors, I can't guess who you are." ”

Before Yaohuan's words fell, the mist immediately condensed into a ball, fell in front of Yaojuan, and then gradually dispersed, where it disappeared, but there stood a young and handsome man in a dark shirt, as far as the dress was concerned, it was a little familiar.

Yaowan stared at him for a long time, but what she saw was still a blurred face.

The man walked up to Yaojuan and said softly, "Are you okay?"

Yaojuan stared at the man with a clear outline in front of her with wide eyes, and finally remembered who he was.

Three thousand years ago, there was a civil strife and turmoil in the divine realm, and in that turmoil, there was a person whose name Miaojuan remembers very clearly.

Outside the East China Sea, there are hundreds of flowing countries, 30,000 miles around, 9,000 miles in the flat place, there is a mountain name Penglai on the northeast shore, 5,000 miles back in the circle, there is the Stygian Sea outside, there is no wind and the waves are hundreds, there are 9,000 immortals who live.

The immortals of Penglai are respected by the old department of the Fusang Emperor, and the Fusang Emperor has left the divine realm for tens of thousands of years, but the immortals of Penglai still follow the old system of the Fusang Emperor, and the ruler of the Yu clan is the former minister of the Fusang Emperor Yu Chen, who is beyond the reach of many immortals in the divine realm.

Because it is the old department of the Fusang Emperor, the relationship between the Yu clan and the Jinwu clan is not bad. When Yu Chen's eldest son got married, Yaohuan followed her father and brother to Penglai to congratulate her.

Yaowan was playful when she was young, and she couldn't sit still at the wedding banquet, so she took advantage of her father's inattention, secretly ran out, and met Yu Qian, the fourteenth son of Yu Chen, who was about the same age as her, in front of the corridor in the attic of Yufu.

Yao Wan is lively by nature, seeing that Yu Qian is about the same age as her, he stepped forward to say hello, but Yu Qian loves to ignore it, since Yao Qian was born, she has not been so cold, so she stepped forward to reason with him, when Yao Wan said that her mouth was dry, she almost thought of him as a mute fairy, but he suddenly opened her mouth, Yao Wan only then remembered a sentence, although there are surprises everywhere in life, but sometimes there are frightens everywhere.

He said, "This is the backyard, the wedding reception is set in front, and if you can't find your way, I can take you out." ”

She raised her head and looked at Yu Qian, who was more than half a head taller than her, and said, "Why don't you speak?"

Yu Qian glanced up at her, and then said lightly: "I just said it, didn't you hear it?"

Yaowan bared her teeth and stared at him for a long time before she gritted her teeth and said, "This is in Penglai, this is someone else's house." ”

Yu Qian walked up to Yaojuan and mocked: "If I were you, I would stay honest if I didn't know the way, and I wouldn't be like a headless fly, jumping around." ”

Yaowan pointed to his nose and said, "You, what did you just say, tell me again." ”

Yu Qian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why, you didn't hear clearly, and you still want to humiliate yourself?"

Yaohuan roared angrily: "You kid, do you know who I am?"

Yu Qian turned around and glanced at Yao Wan contemptuously, and said, "Isn't it the Golden Crow Clan?

Yao jumped to her feet angrily, pointed at him and said, "Okay, let's compete, if you lose, kowtow to me and apologize." ”

Yu Qian continued: "I'm sorry, on top of this Penglai, I have never only knelt down to my parents. ”

Yaojuan cast a fire spell on him, and Yu Qian, who was quite arrogant in his words, began to hold his head and wail, and then he rolled on the ground.

When the people in Yu Fuzhong came, several pinches of feathers on Yu Qian's wings were burned black by the fire curse, and his face was more like it had been painted with ink, which was terrible.

This farce finally ended with Yaojuan's father pulling Yaojuan's ears and forcing her to apologize to Yu Qian.

After the wedding banquet, my father stayed in Penglai for a few days, as if there was something important to discuss with Yu Chen, and Yaojia stayed in Penglai for two days.

The scenery of Penglai is very good, Yao Wan and Yao Ling travel all day long, and the days are also comfortable.

When leaving Penglai, everyone in the Yu Mansion came to see them off, but they couldn't see the youngest son that Yu Chen loved the most.

Yao Wan and Yao Ying followed behind their father and began to talk in a whisper.

Yaowan whispered: "Second brother, why didn't the Yu Qian you met a few days ago come?"

Yao Ying covered her mouth and said, "Who knows, didn't you put a fire on him a few days ago? ”

Yaowan wondered: "Injured? Impossible, when he was helped away that day, I saw him glaring at me, looking at him like that, it didn't look like he was injured." ”

After thinking deeply, Yao Ying replied: "If it weren't for the injury, there would be only one reason." ”

Yaojuan asked, "What?"

Yao Ling said: "I was afraid of losing face in front of everyone, so I didn't come." ”

Yaohuan said: "I don't like it, when I looked at him a few days ago, I found that he was quite thick-skinned. ”

Yao Ling suddenly closed her mouth, stood straight, and kept glancing at Yao Yu.

After realizing it, she coughed lightly, and looked into the air unnaturally.

Qing Jue and Yu Chenzheng said goodbye politely: "The general doesn't need to send it again, let's go back." ”

Yu Chen hurriedly said: "The young master is polite, the hospitality has been poor in the past few days, and it has been rude." ”

Qing Jue smiled and said: "The general is too modest, our father and daughter are here, but it has caused you a lot of trouble." ”

Yaojuan naturally knew what Qing Jue meant, and hurriedly lowered her head with a guilty face.

Yu Chen said: "It's okay, it's normal for children to mess around with each other, it's just a joke, the young master doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Yaowan smiled secretly, and said in her heart: "My son was bullied, but Lao Tzu was willing to suffer this dumb loss, that bastard boy will definitely be angry half to death when he knows about this." Thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing.

Everyone was silent and looked at her in unison.

Only then did Yaojuan realize that she had gone too far, and when she was thinking about how to remedy it, Qing Jue made a straight face and scolded sharply: "There are no rules, how did my father teach you on weekdays?"

Yao Yao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's rude." ”

Yu Chen laughed and said: "It's a joke, and it's okay to laugh." ”

Qing Jue's face softened slightly, and he turned around and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, don't go down quickly." ”

As if she had been pardoned, she hurriedly retreated.

Yao Ying approached her and asked, "What are you thinking just now, but I'm very happy to look at it." ”

Yaowan shook her head and said, "It's nothing, don't say it, when my father hears it, I should be angry again." ”

Yao Ying was so interested that she didn't speak again.

Since then, Yaojuan and Yu Qian have met a few times, but Yu Qian seems to be very afraid of Yaoqian, and when he sees her from afar, he will hurriedly walk away.

It was only then that she learned that the gods were also afraid of the soft.

On the day of Yaojuan's 20,000th birthday, nearly 10,000 years have passed since the last time Yaojuan set fire to Penglai, and Yaojuan was about to erase this matter from her immortal career at the same time, Yu Chen actually took Yu Qian to Shanshan Mountain.

This surprised Yaojuan, it stands to reason that Yaojuan should have caused a not very good, even some painful memory in Yu Qian's life, and he chose to come to the birthday banquet when he was about to enter adulthood, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that his intention was to take revenge on that arrow, but what surprised Yaohuan was that he brought his father with him, which was too incredible.

In Yaojuan's cognition, since she was a child, although she has done a lot of wrong things, and she is used to going out alone to make trouble, but even so, when she gets into trouble, she will not bring her father with her, after all, there are some things that the elders know badly, and of course she will not be stupid enough to dig her own grave.

However, this matter is not at all as Yao Liang imagined, The reason why Yu Chen brought Yu Qian to the mountain was that Yu Qian's biological mother passed away, and Yu Chen was about to leave Penglai for a while, so he could only send Yu Qian to the mountain.

What made Yao Wan unexpectedly was that Yu Qian came to Shan Shan not to take revenge, and there was another thing that also surprised Yao Ji several times: Yu Qian and her were born on the same day!

After Yaohuan knew about this, she only said viciously: "This damn coincidence." ”

After that, Yu Qian began to live on the mountain, of course, from Yao Yuan's point of view, this matter was not a good thing, since the first time they met, Yao Qian knew that this person called Yu Qian, as if God sent him to oppose her.

On the first day of Yu Qian's arrival, Yao Ling politely took him to visit around the mountain, and when he passed by the mountain, he planted Yao Wan in front of the medicine dock, and finally poked his head into the soil and died.

On the second day, when Yaojuan went out, she stepped on Yu Qian's carelessly lost magic weapon at the mountain gate: a few money darts stuck in the soil.

On the third day, a few plates of pastries that Yaowan put in the pavilion in the back mountain were eaten by Yu Qian, and even when she arrived in the pavilion, Yu Qian shamelessly pointed to the empty plate and said: "These pastries taste so good, do you still have them here?"

Yaojuan looked at Yu Qian's innocent face and muttered alone: "He is my father's guest, be patient, you must be patient." Then, after talking to herself for more than half an hour, she turned around and walked away with difficulty.

Just when Yaojuan couldn't stay on this mountain anymore and was about to pack up her things and go to live on Danxue Mountain, Yu Qian finally brought his money dart to apologize to Yaojia.

He put the money dart that had torn through Yaojuan's new silk shoes in front of Yaojuan's eyes.

Yaojuan hurriedly stepped back, pointed at the money dart, and said in a trembling voice, "What do you mean? What do you want to do?"

Yu Qian looked at the money dart and said very sincerely: "That, I heard that my magic weapon cut your silk shoes, so I took it to apologize to you." ”

Yaowan looked at him in disbelief for a moment, then stretched out her finger and said, "What do you mean, should it be to let it apologize to me?"

Yu Qian shook his head, then took out a pair of very delicate new silk shoes from behind him, handed them to Yaojuan, and said, "I'm sorry, this is for you." ”

Yaohuan was worried about fraud, so she didn't reach out to pick it up, she pointed to herself, and whispered: "You mean, you want to compensate me for a pair of silk shoes?"

Yu Qian nodded and said, "Yes, my magic weapon damaged your shoes, and this is indeed a compensation for you." ”

Yao Jia was relieved, and when she was about to reach out to pick it up, she stretched out her hand back.
