Chapter 3: The Fire Spirit Bead
Later, her father found out that of all her spells, the fire spell made the best time, and he would often stare at her in a daze.
She asked her mother to find out that her father was missing her aunt, the only sister he had grown up with.
Yaohuan knew that she shouldn't mention her aunt in front of her father, but for so many years, the empty Shuyang Pavilion and Pillow Xia Ju have become forbidden places on the mountain, and since the great-grandmother left, the immortals on the mountain have also left one after another, and even the Fusang Sacred Tree outside the Linghui Hall has gradually withered, and the mountain has long since ceased to be the scene of the past.
In the Protoss, growing up also means responsibility and mission, and because she grows up, some words can no longer be said.
She followed Yao Ling out of the pavilion and walked towards Evianque.
Yao Ling looked at the listless Yao Liang and said with a smile: "What's the matter, don't you want to go?"
She thought for a moment and nodded.
Yao Ying asked her, "When the emperor told you that day, why didn't you read the edict first?"
She regretted: "I didn't know that my father-in-law would lie to me, he told me that the mortal world is very fun, and I haven't been to the mortal world, so I was curious, and I agreed without thinking about it, but as soon as I got out of Nanshuge, I regretted it." ”
Yao Ying looked at her sympathetically and comforted: "Actually, it's nothing, you have survived these tens of thousands of years, and you will be afraid for decades?"
Yao's face became heavier and heavier, and she asked, "Then is there any way I can not go to the mortal realm?"
Yao Yu looked at her seriously: "You want to resist the decree?"
As if she had a good idea, she hurriedly asked, "Then how about me pretending to be sick?"
Yao Yu hurriedly shook her head: "You are a disciple of the Medicine Immortal, do you think the Emperor of Heaven will believe it?"
Yaohuan was a little disappointed, she thought for a while, and then said: "If you can't pretend to be sick, then pretend to be crazy and stupid, no matter how bad it is, you can only pretend to be dead." ”
Yao Ying smiled and said, "It's just that I went to the mortal realm for a few days, so I won't even use this trick, right?"
Yaohuan asked, "Then you say, what should I do?"
Yao Ying thought for a long time and said, "I think you better go, even if you manage to avoid this time, what if there is a next time?"
Yaohuan felt that what he said seemed to have some truth, and said helplessly: "Then I have to go, I hope I can come back sooner." ”
Yao Ying said again: "If you want to come back earlier, it can only be because the White Bird Prince is dead." ”
Yaohuan realized that it would be a loss of fairy bearing to look forward to the early death of others for no reason, and hurriedly changed her words: "Then I can only hope that I will have less trouble in the days of the Baili Clan." ”
In line with the idea of staying in the Divine Realm for a few more moments, she would be able to stay in the Mortal Realm for a few less moments, and she had been in the Divine Realm for a long time, and when she left the Mountain, it was already a few days later.
She packed a half-sized bag with a few changes of clothes, stuffed the extinguishing shaft and a few bottles of medicine into the bag and went on the road.
The mortal world is overflowing, along the way, many houses are flooded, and it is not easy to find the boundary of the Baili tribe according to the mark on the silk book, but Yaojuan is frightened by the scene in front of her: there is water everywhere here, every step, it is extremely laborious, the water does not pass her calves, her dress is wet, she began to regret, should not wear this new clothes made by her mother to the mortal world, she carried the wet dress, looked around, saw a child playing in the water, and hurriedly waved and shouted: "Hey, is this the Baili tribe?" Can you take me to the Patriarch?"
The child is about ten years old, not yet grown, he seems to be accustomed to such an environment, walking in the water very steadily, he walked in front of Yaojia, looked at her vigilantly, pointed at the tip of her nose with the water scoop in his hand, and asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here? We Baili don't like outsiders to disturb us, if you don't have anything to do, go back quickly." ”
Yaowan was stunned for a moment, and thought: This child doesn't look big, but he is very shrewd, I don't know whose child it is?
She hurriedly smiled kindly, and said softly: "I am from the Divine Realm, and I am here to cure the flood here for you, do you know where the patriarch is, will you take me to see him?"
When the child heard this, he threw down the water ladle in his hand, turned around and ran quickly.
The water scoop fell, splashing water, all falling on Yaojuan's clothes, Yaohuan didn't react for a while, and when he ran away, he shouted at his back: "Hey, you haven't answered me yet!"
It wasn't until the child's back gradually disappeared that Yaojuan said to herself: "What are you running for? I'm not a monster, and I won't eat you!"
She took a few steps forward, found a large stone in a place that had not yet been flooded, and sat on it to dry her clothes and shoes by magic, she was not familiar with the Orioles, and decided to stay where she was for the time being, this is the territory of the Orioles, and someone should find her soon.
After a long time, a group of soldiers dressed in armor and holding spears came forward and surrounded the big stone, and she stood up and was about to speak, when an old man came out of them, and saluted Yaohuan and said, "I don't know that the messenger has arrived, and I have missed the welcome, and I have sinned and sinned!"
Yao Wan looked at him: he was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a kingly air between his eyebrows, and his eyes were sharp, he should not be a simple character, and he hurriedly asked: "Are you the eldest son of the Baili clan?"
The man didn't seem to have heard this name for a long time, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's just Ziyan." ”
Yaowan raised her hand and returned the salute: "King Baili is polite." She took out the edict in the bag and handed it to him: "This is the edict of the Emperor of Heaven, please look at it from the White Bird King." ”
After the White Bird King took it, he knelt down and said, "Thank you Emperor Heaven for sending a messenger down to earth!"
Yaojuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said, "King Baili doesn't need to kneel to me, I came to Baili only as the high priest, and it stands to reason that I should salute you." ”
The White Bird King was sincerely frightened, and shook his head again and again: "How dare you, you are the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, how can you let you give me a mortal salute?"
Yao Wan smiled and said: "I am just a righteous daughter accepted by the Emperor of Heaven, so you should treat me as an ordinary immortal." ”
The White Oriole King looked embarrassed, thought for a while and said, "In this way, in the future, you and I will sit on an equal footing, neither breaking the rules nor losing etiquette." ”
Yao Wan couldn't refuse, so she had to reply: "I listen to your orders." ”
The White Bird King smiled and said, "That's fine." He turned sideways and said, "Xuanyu, Xuanyu, you come here." ”
As soon as the words fell, two men walked out from behind him, one was about a teenager, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a heroic air between his eyebrows, and his stature had surpassed that of the White Bird King, and the other was the child who ran away just after seeing her.
It turned out that he was the child of the Whitebird King.
Seeing that Yaowan had been staring at Xuanyu, the Baili King hurriedly explained: "Oh, this is the young son Xuanyu, he is a little naughty by nature, Baili is located in a deep valley, near the border of the demon world, so he has to act cautiously, if he is disrespectful and offends you, please ask the high priest not to blame." ”
Yao Yao hurriedly echoed: "The White Bird King has seen the outside. She looked around: "The Emperor of Heaven sent me here to help you, what do you need?"
The White Bird King frowned and touched his white beard, and sighed, "Did you see the floods around you on the road when the high priest came?"
Yaowan nodded: "The flood here looks very serious, if you want to cure the flood, you have to know the cause of the flood, can the White Bird King take me around?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Oriole King hunched over and coughed violently.
The woman behind him hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said to Yaojuan: "High priest, my husband is not in good health, I will discuss this matter later." ”
As soon as Yaojuan wanted to speak, the eldest son of the White Bird King stood up: "If the father is tired, go back and rest first, and it is the same for the child to take the high priest to take a look nearby." ”
The White Bird King looked at Yao Juan and said, "This is my eldest son, Xuan Xuan, and the prince of the White Oriole clan, if the high priest does not blame the son for being rude, let him take you there for me." ”
Yaowan bowed slightly: "The White Bird King's body is important. ”
The White Bird King called Xuan Xuan over, whispered a few words, turned to Yaohuan and said goodbye, turned around and walked slowly up the mountain.
Everyone left with the White Bird King, leaving only Yaojuan and Xuanxuan.
Xuan Xuan saluted to Yaojuan: "High priest, please come here." ”
Yaohuan looked at Xuan Xuan and said, "If I was born in the mortal realm, it should be about the same age as you, you can call me by my name, my name is Yaojuan." ”
Xuan Ying nodded slightly, "Okay, High Priest." ”
“......”
The two of them walked not far away.
The water flows to a low place, the terrain here is not low, and the floods in the mortal realm stretch for thousands of miles, there should be some other reason.
Yaohuan stretched out her hand and pointed forward, asking, "How long has it been like this?"
Xuan Ying chased her gaze and looked: "It's been several months, last year it was a drought, and this year it's a flood. ”
Yaojuan frowned and said, "Since there has only been a drought here, it means that there is a shortage of water in the ground here, why did the flood occur again so quickly, and where did all this water come from?"
Xuan Xuan glanced at her, and said, "A few months ago, there was a sudden rainstorm here, and then a flash flood broke out, flooding several nearby villages, and then this place became what it is now. ”
"Are there any demons and monsters here?" When she was in the divine realm, she often heard people say that in the sparsely populated places in the mortal realm, there are often demons and monsters haunting, and when the emperor gets the news, he will send people to collect the demons and eliminate the monsters, maybe the floods here are also caused by monsters.
"I haven't heard that my father burned the watch to the Emperor of Heaven because of the flood and the matter of the demons. Xuan Xuan replied.
Yaowan glanced at Xuan Xuan, who didn't know anything, turned her head and muttered in a low voice: "That's why I was sent to you by my father-in-law? You are fine, you don't know anything, but what about me? I came to this unfamiliar mortal world for no reason, not to mention a bunch of troubles, and I have to accompany you here until I die before I can go back!"
Xuan Xuan saw Yao Wan muttering alone, and asked, "What did you just say?"
Yaojia pulled the burden on her back, looked up and denied: "Ah, you heard it wrong, I didn't say anything. Where is the lowest place here? Can you show me there?"
If the cause of the flood is groundwater, it will be much easier to cure the flood by finding the source of the flood.
Xuan Xuan replied: "The water at the foot of the mountain is rising every day, and the people under the mountain have to move to the mountain, and the bridge has been broken, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go down now." ”
Yaohuan said: "Don't worry about this, since I was assigned by the Emperor of Heaven to treat the flood, there is a way to get to the foot of the mountain, you just need to lead the way in front." ”
Xuan Ying nodded yes, then turned and walked forward.
Yaowan looked at Xuan Xuan's back and thought, from the time they first met to the present, this prince of the Baili clan has said so many words, it seems that none of them are repetitive.
It seems that he doesn't like to talk much on weekdays.
Yaojiao is the best at observing words and feelings, since Xuan Xuan didn't speak, she didn't speak, the two of them were quiet all the way, until there was no way in front of them, Xuan Xuan turned around and said, "I can only get here." ”
Yaowan stepped forward to take a closer look, she looked at the turbid water overflowing under her feet, and fell into deep thought, the flood in this place is more serious than she thought, it should not be an easy thing to eradicate the flood, at least, to find the cause of the flood first, this is not something that can be solved overnight.
She thought for a moment and said to Xuan Xuan, "Okay, you can go back." ”
Xuan Xuan looked at her with some puzzlement: "That's good, you have thought of a way to relieve the flood?"
Yaohuan shook her head helplessly: "Not yet, we have to find a way to find out the cause of the flood first." ”
Xuan Xuan then said: "Okay, let's go back to the village first." ”
Yaowan pulled the burden on her shoulders and asked, "Are you familiar with this place?"
Xuan Xuan's expression was indifferent, and he nodded slightly: "Yes, I was born here since I was a child." ”
Yaohuan continued: "Not far from here is the border of the Demon Realm, have you ever seen anyone in the Demon Realm?"
Xuan Xuan suddenly stopped, he looked at Yao Liang seriously, his eyes were like a sharp knife, almost penetrating her soul.
Yaohuan was uncomfortable by him, and hurriedly took a few steps back.
After a long while, Xuan Ying moved his steps again, he turned his head over, and said lightly: "I've seen it." ”
Yao Wan was in awe of Xuan Xuan, she had seen a mortal for the first time in the God Realm for so many years, and Xuan Xuan was only fifteen or sixteen years old this year, and she had already seen people in the Demon Realm.
Yaohuan originally wanted to ask something, but when she saw Xuan Xuan's cold face, she still closed her mouth.
Yao Huan thought: For mortals, the White Bird King is already in his twilight years, even if he is healthy, I am afraid that there are not many days to survive. When the White Bird King dies, Xuan Xuan is the patriarch of the White Bird Clan, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and when he dies, it will take another forty or fifty years, and she will have to stay here for forty or fifty years, so that she can go back to the divine realm, and it is better to provoke him less.
Before she came to the mortal realm, she also inquired a lot about the demon realm, the Baili clan Donglin is the territory of the demon realm, the fiefdom of the third prince of the demon clan, Lei Yuan, only more than a hundred miles away from here, driving the clouds, you can get there in less than an hour.
After the death of the lord of the demon clan, the eldest son Yu Yu was in charge of the Demon Realm, Yu Yu was arrogant, relying on his own skills, and did not take the God Realm in his eyes at all, the Demon Realm has not paid tribute to the Heavenly Court for more than 3,000 years, and the biggest reason why the Emperor of Heaven can still tolerate the Demon World is that the Yu Yu and Lei Yuan brothers are equal in power in the Demon Realm, and they are busy fighting for power and position, and they have no time to take care of other things.
Yu Yu was very jealous of Lei Yuan in his heart, it seemed that only he was there, and his position as the lord of the demon world would not be stable, and this Lei Yuan was not an ordinary person, he had already won over several of his powerful uncles and Lu Luan, the second son of Qi Qi, to fight against the demon lord.
This is also a good thing for the God Realm, since the demons are infighting, it is impossible to put their minds on other things, and they should not make any moves in the near future.
But there are no absolutes in the world, and no one can guarantee that they will not unite and unite with the outside world one day, so what should be guarded against is still to be guarded against.
The Heavenly Emperor sent Yao to come down, and he also had this consideration, as long as the demon clan had any trouble, the divine realm would be able to know immediately.
No matter what the purpose is and what kind of result will be produced, so far it is only Yao Jian who has been unlucky.
Yaojuan followed Xuanxuan to the village of the Baili tribe, but saw the child who had left with the king of Baili waiting for them at the gate of the village.
As soon as he saw Yaojiao, he hurriedly stepped forward and opened his arms to block her way.
Yao Wan was stunned for a moment, looked up at Xuan Xuan, and asked for help with her eyes.
As if he hadn't seen anything, Xuan Xuan turned his head and whispered something to the people around him, and Yao Wan was hopeless for help, so she glared at him fiercely.
She half-crouched down and looked at Xuanyu and asked, "Are you here to find me?"
Xuan Yu stared at the big watery eyes and said, "I want to learn spells, can you teach me?"
Yao Wan couldn't help but sigh lightly, the children in the mortal world are really smart, but at the age of eleven or twelve, they know how to learn magic, and then think about her, when she was four or five thousand years old, she was still playing in the mud in the back mountain of the mountain, even if she was just an adult, she didn't have the consciousness to consciously learn magic.
Yaowan looked at Xuanyu's sincere eyes and replied, "This, you can, but you have to wait until you become an adult." ”
Xuanyu raised his face and asked, "Why?"
Yaohuan asked, "Then tell me first, why do you want to learn spells?"
Xuan Yu didn't think about it, so he blurted out: "Father and brother Wang are very hard, I want to help them." ”
Hearing this, Yao Wan turned to look at Xuan Xuan, who seemed to be moved when she heard this, but soon, her expression returned to the same as before.
She was a little touched, and replied softly: "This, learning spells is very hard, and you will learn it when you grow taller and are not afraid of hardship." ”
She thought for a moment and continued: "You are still a child, just do what you should do at this time, and leave the rest to the adults." ”
Xuanyu stretched out his hand and pulled her sleeve and shook it gently: "You are an immortal, can you help us, can you help us?"
Yaohuan was about to answer, when a cough came from a distance.
She straightened up, and saw the Oriole King and his wife walking towards her.
When the White Bird King approached, he smiled and said, "The High Priest has returned? I don't have any mountain treasures here to entertain the High Priest, so I only prepared a few glasses of thin wine at the bottom of the house to catch the wind for the High Priest, and invited the High Priest to appreciate his face." ”
Yao Jia couldn't refuse, and said, "Thank you for the kindness of King Baili." ”
When Yaojuan followed the king of Baili to the main hall where the banquet was held, everyone was already seated.
