Xuan Xuan took out a delicate box from his sleeve, brought it to Yaohuan, and said solemnly: "What is in this box is the fragment of the Silk Yuan, it is very important to me, and it is also very important to the entire Baili clan, I am now handing it over to you, that is, even the lives of my people are handed over to you, I hope you will take good care of it for me." ”

Yaojuan didn't go to pick up the box, she thought for a while, and then she understood what Xuan Xuan's words meant, she frowned slightly, looked directly at Xuan Xuan and asked, "You mean, if the Baili clan fights together, you will have to fight in person?"

Xuan Xuan said, "Yes." ”

Yaowan hurriedly shook her head and said: "No, Ziyan has a treacherous and cunning personality, you are now the head of the clan, your safety is related to the fate of the entire Baili, and you can't easily get into danger." Besides, the king's personal conquest is a major military and political matter, how can such a hasty decision be made?"

Xuan Xuan held the box persistently, and said firmly: "I have already thought about this matter, and now I am sitting on the throne, if I let Ziyan Hu come, not only will others not take it as a warning, but will also compete to follow suit, and one day it will cause a catastrophe, I don't want to let the last thing happen again in front of my eyes." In this personal expedition, if I can return triumphantly, I will be able to stand up in front of the three armies, boost morale, stabilize the people's hearts, and Baili will be truly stable in the future. ”

Yaowan looked at Xuan Xuan, and said secretly in her heart: "Then what if you are defeated? What you lose is not only your own life, but also the men, women and children who will take this village." Who will protect them when the time comes?"

Yaowan looked at Xuan Xuan hesitantly for a long time, and held back all the words she wanted to say.

She stared straight at Xuan Xuan's eyes, stretched out her hand to take the box, and said helplessly: "Since you have decided, then I won't say anything more, I will help you keep this box, and I will return it to you on the day of your triumph." ”

Xuan Ying smiled and said, "Just accept it, this Silk Yuan Fragment has been left in the mortal realm for such a long time, and it is time to return to its original place." ”

Yaojuan put the box away and asked, "How could Ziyan know about the Silk Yuan Fragment? He also knows the relationship between the Silk Yuan Fragment and the Mixed Yuan Banner?"

Xuan Xuan said in a low voice: "He is the younger brother of my father's and mother's compatriots, and it is normal for him to know about the fragment of the Silk Yuan, but the matter of the mixed Yuan Banner is only qualified to be known by the heirs to the throne of the past dynasties, and he should not know." ”

Yao Yao thought of a crucial question: "Then who else knows about this matter?"

Xuan Xuan thought for a while and said, "This matter is a secret matter handed down from my ancestors, and the Emperor of Heaven may not know it. ”

Yao Wan asked, "Even the Heavenly Emperor doesn't know, how can you trust it to me?"

Xuan Ying said sincerely: "I believe in you. ”

Then, Xuan Xuan said in a somewhat heavy tone: "Maybe there is another person who also knows the secret of the Silk Yuan fragment." ”

Yao Yao hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

Xuan Xuan frowned and said, "The current monarch of the Demon Clan. ”

Yao Wan was shocked: "You mean Yu Yu, how did he know?"

Xuan Xuan paused and sighed: "I heard that he was looking for the Yuan Banner a long time ago, when I was very young, he didn't know where to get the news of the Silk Yuan fragment, so he sent someone to Baili and threatened his father to hand over the Silk Yuan fragment, but my father did not agree, so he sent someone to kidnap me and my mother. ”

"What happened later?" asked Yaohuan.

Xuan Xuan said gloomily: "My father never handed over the fragments of the Silk Yuan, and the demons killed my mother in order to vent their anger, and I was hidden under the carriage by my mother, so I survived." ”

Yaohuan didn't expect that she inadvertently uncovered Xuan Xuan's scar, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention your sadness." ”

Xuan Xuan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's been a long time, and I'm about to forget about it." ”

When Yao Jiaozheng didn't know what to say, a plain waiter came from the side, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the time for the funeral of the first king has arrived." ”

Xuan Ying responded: "Got it." He turned to look at Yaojiao and said, "You are in good health, so you don't need to go." ”

Yaowan was dazed, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”

Xuan Xuan and the waiter left, Yaowan lowered her head and looked at the box in her hand in a daze.

When the sun was setting in the west, Yao Jiao returned to the bamboo house.

Only then did he hide the box in the cabinet, and Bai Qi pushed the door in.

Yaowan hurriedly closed the cabinet, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Qi saluted and said: "High priest, the guards guarding outside the gate have just come to report, and someone has come to the gate of the stockade, saying that they want to see the high priest. ”

Yaohuan asked, "Who is it?"

Bai Ji replied: "I don't know, it's like a woman, you better go out and have a look." ”

Yaohuan replied that when she walked to the door of the bamboo house, she retreated again, and she placed a ban on the cabinet where the fragments of the silk yuan were placed, and then left with confidence.

Yaojuan out of the door of the stockade, saw a graceful woman is anxiously looking around, she heard the footsteps, immediately turned around, Yaojuan immediately recognized, the woman in front of the stockade is the woman of the Wu clan who came to Baili to find her that day, Tu Shanmiao.

Yao Jiao exclaimed: "Why are you?"

Tu Shanmiao bowed and said, "The immortal envoy is well." ”

Yaojuan said, "What are you doing with me? But where is the flood?"

Tu Shanmiao replied: "No, the elder heard about the immortal envoy and sent me here to repay the immortal envoy's life-saving grace for the Wu clan." ”

Yaowan was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?" She thought about Tu Shanmiao's words and reacted: "You mean, you want to stay in Baili?"

Tu Shanmiao rolled up his sleeves and arched his hand and said, "If the immortal envoy doesn't dislike it, let me follow you." ”

Yaohuan was born not good at refusal, in her impression, there was no immortal in the god world who rushed to repay the favor after solving the problem for mortals, so no one told her how to solve such a situation in the mortal world.

She seemed to understand again in an instant, although the situation was a little different, but the result should be the same, she came to the mortal realm for the edict of the Emperor of Heaven, and as soon as the task on the edict was completed, she would return to the divine realm.

Yao Wan smiled and said: "Listen to me, I am a god, I don't lack anything, and I don't need you to repay the favor, you better go back." ”

Tu Shanmiao's face was embarrassed, and he said uneasily: "The immortal envoy dislikes me for being stupid and refuses to keep me by his side?"

Yao Wan was dumbfounded, touched her forehead, and said in her heart: "Did I just say something that shouldn't be said?

She glanced at Bai Qi and asked, "Is there any room in the stockade?"

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Yaojuan glanced at the pitiful Tu Shanmiao and said, "If you want to stay, stay here." ”

When Tu Shanmiao heard this, he smiled and said, "Thank you Immortal Envoy." ”

Yaojuan said: "You settle down first, and when you want to leave, you can leave." ”

Tu Shanmiao wanted to speak and stopped, she looked at Yao's expression, and followed Bai Qian into the village.

Yaojuan followed far behind the two, and when she walked through the bluestone street, she heard a noise in front of the village, and it should be that Xuanyu and his party were back.

Before dinner, Bai Qian, who had cleaned up the room, brought Tu Shanmiao to the bamboo house, Yaowan looked at Tu Shanmiao with a little headache, and after thinking for a long time, she figured out how to place Tu Shanmiao: "You are a woman of the Wu clan, and the spiritual power on your body is not weak, so you can stay in Baili to be a protector." ”

Tu Shanmiao said happily: "Yes." ”

Yaojiao said again: "Bai Qian, you take Tu Shanmiao to familiarize yourself with the environment here." ”

Bai Qi replied yes, turned to Tu Shanmiao and said, "Protector, please come here." ”

Yaohuan found that since she came to the mortal realm, she either encountered trouble all day long, or tried to find a way to solve the trouble, fortunately, she had not caused any trouble to others in the mortal realm, which was also an improvement.

The next day, at dawn, the village was full of people, and the noisy Yaojiao, who had only been squinting for a while, woke up.

Yaowan got dressed and went out the door, following the sound, but saw a group of guards blocking the water around the pavilion next to the swing.

She hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the crowd and squeezed in, but saw such a scene: a man hung upside down on the trunk of the tree next to the swing, and the woman under the tree looked at the timid guards around her with contempt, and from time to time she turned her head and glared at the embarrassed man.

The unlucky man swayed twice in the tree before she could see what he looked like.

She was frightened by the scene in front of her, and hurriedly grabbed the guard next to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

The guard saluted and said, "High Priest, this woman doesn't know where she came from, as soon as she entered, she broke in, the Prince of Xuanyu wanted to subdue her, but she was hung on a tree, the High Priest quickly find a way to put the prince down." ”

Yaowan looked at the two of them with a headache, and used a spell to gently put down Xuanyu.

Xuanyu gritted his teeth, untied the rope on his body, stood up and headed straight for Tu Shanmiao.

Yao Yao hurriedly stopped him: "Xuanyu, she is her own person." ”

Xuanyu stopped and looked at Yaohuan suspiciously, although there was still anger in his eyes, he didn't move again.

Yaohuan looked at the two of them and asked, "Can any of you tell me what happened?"

Xuanyu looked at Tu Shanmiao, snorted coldly, threw up his sleeves and strode away.

The people around to watch the excitement flocked to the Xuan Domain and left.

Tu Shanmiao stepped forward and saluted, "High Priest." ”

Yaowan pointed to the rope under the tree and asked, "You hung him from the tree?"

Tu Shanmiao nodded.

Yaojuan said: "He is the second prince of the Baili clan and the younger brother of the new Baili King. ”

Tu Shanmiao said calmly: "He did it first, I don't know his identity." ”

Yaohuan said helplessly: "Okay, since it's a misunderstanding, it's okay to explain it clearly another day." ”

Tu Shanmiao saluted and said, "Then I'll go back first." ”

Yaowan waved her hand and said, "Go ahead." She yawned and turned to walk towards the bamboo house.

After Yaowan went back to the bamboo house and slept for two hours, she got up and dressed herself, and after she finished grooming, she pushed the door and went out, but she saw Xuanyu standing in front of the bamboo house for a long time.

She stepped forward and asked, "Xuanyu, why are you here?"

Xuanyu said, "Sister Yu, do you have time?"

Yaojuan asked, "What's wrong?"

Xuan Yu said word by word: "I want to learn spells." ”

Yaohuan gasped, how could she forget this stubble?

She smiled unnaturally, "Why did you suddenly remember this?"

Xuanyu said: "That girl knows spells, and I have to learn them too." ”

Yao Yao hurriedly persuaded: "She is a member of the Wu clan, so she knows magic, just now she told me, she doesn't know who you are, that's why she offended you, you are a manly husband, what do you have to worry about with a little woman? ”

Xuanyu didn't seem to buy it much, and still said coldly: "I have never been hung from a tree in my life, let alone a woman. ”

This is irrefutable, a dignified prince was hung from a tree by a woman in front of everyone's eyes, and whoever put this on him will not be able to stand it.

In order to appease Xuanyu, Yao Wan had no choice but to nod and say: "Since this is the case, then I will teach you a small spell first, if others tie you up again, you make this spell, and the rope will be untied." ”

Yaoyu told Xuanyu the essence of the technique, and Xuanyu followed Yaoyu's meaning, practiced it twice, and then learned it.

Xuanyu's expression improved slightly, and he thanked Yaowan before leaving the bamboo house.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Yao Jia saw Xuan Xuan who had finished handling official business.

The first king has been buried, Xuan Xuan finally took off his vegetarian body, he was wearing a dark colored robe, with some tiredness between his eyebrows, he walked towards Yaojia with a strong spirit, and said with a slight smile: "Have you eaten?"

Yaohuan shook her head and said, "Not yet." ”

Xuan Xuan continued: "That's right, I asked someone to make a few dishes, and we ate them together. ”

Yaohuan followed Xuan Xuan to the octagonal pavilion, someone had already placed a few dishes of porridge and side dishes in the pavilion, and there were servants holding a few plates of pastries next to her, standing aside.

After tasting a few bites of side dishes, she put down the bamboo chopstick.

Xuan Xuan didn't seem to have much appetite, so he only ate a few bites.

Xuan Xuan asked someone to remove the food and put a few plates of pastries on the table.

Yaowan raised her head and said, "You have a sad face, but what's so difficult to do?"

Xuan Xuan paused slightly, and said with a smile: "It's all trivial, nothing." ”

Yaohuan asked casually, "How many days have I heard that the enthronement ceremony will be held?"

Xuan Xuan said: "They said that three days later would be an auspicious day, so they set the enthronement ceremony on that day. ”

Yaojuan nodded and said: "I thought about it yesterday, if you want to leave Baili, I can't follow, I will teach you a spell, you are fighting outside, if you encounter any danger, I can find a way to save you." ”

Xuan Ying nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Yaohuan said, "You close your eyes first." ”

Xuan Xuan closed his eyes as he said, and Yao Juan raised her hand and put it in front of his eyes for a moment, a red light flashed in front of Xuan Ju's eyes, and then drilled into his brain like a spirit snake.

Xuan Xuan was dizzy, and quickly opened his eyes and reached out to support his head.

Yaohuan said, "Okay." ”

Xuan Xuan shook his head vigorously a few times before he came to his senses.

Yaowan looked at Xuan Xuan, nodded with satisfaction, she reached out and took a piece of hibiscus cake on the table, stuffed it in her mouth, and said vaguely: "You are a mortal, you don't have spiritual power in your body, when you make this spell, you will damage your body due to excessive waste, this spell can only be used at most three times a day for emergency use." ”

Xuan Xuan nodded, stuffed a glass of water into Yaowan's hand, and said, "Drink some water, don't choke." ”

After taking a sip, she swallowed the hibiscus cake and nodded: "This water is sweet and tastes good." ”

Xuan Xuan smiled and said: "This is the water drawn from the well dug by my father and others during the drought a few years ago, and it is usually only used for banquets and drinks. ”

Yao Yao smiled and said, "This is the most delicious thing I have drunk since I came to the mortal realm. ”

Xuan Xuan said: "If you like it, ask Bai Qi to fetch some." ”

Yao Yao hurriedly said: "No need, no matter how much you like it, you won't like it if you use it for a long time." ”

Xuan Ying said thoughtfully: "You are like this with everything. ”

Yaohuan asked, "How?"

Xuan Xuan said slowly: "There are some things, although I like them very much, but the likes are very limited, as if nothing can touch your principles. ”

Yao Wan smiled and said, "When I was in the God Realm, I was always like this, and I was used to it. ”

Xuan Xuan's face changed slightly, he stood up and said: "I still have some things, let's go first, the refreshments on this table are specially prepared by me for the high priest, and the high priest will use them slowly." ”

Without waiting for Yao Wan to speak, Xuan Xuan had already turned around and left.

Yaowan suppressed her throat and whispered, "Why is he still so uncertain? Did I say something wrong again?"

She recalled the situation just now, and felt that she had nothing to reflect on, so she sat down in the pavilion and ate the pastry with peace of mind, but after a while, the plate containing the dim sum in front of her bottomed out, and Yao Juan was also disgusted by the sweet and greasy taste of the dim sum.

She craned her neck, poured several glasses of water, got up and patted her chest and left the pavilion.

When he returned to the bamboo house, Bai Qi was cleaning up.

She poured a glass of water, handed it to Yaojuan and said, "High Priestess, what's the matter?"

Yaohuan took a sip of water, put the cup down and said, "Bai Qi, I have something to ask you." ”

When Bai Qian heard Yaohuan's words, she hurriedly put down the rag in her hand, walked up to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yaojuan was very puzzled and said, "You Prince Xuanxuan, oh no, it's the king, does he like to be angry?"

Bai Qi tilted his head and thought about it carefully, shook his head and replied: "Is the high priest saying that the king is angry? I have been here for so long, and I have never seen the king angry, when the king was a prince, although he didn't like to talk much on weekdays, he was very good to his servants and subordinates, and he never lost his temper with people. ”

After listening to Bai Qian's words, Yao Ji became more and more puzzled: "He never loses his temper with people?" Could it be that she was wrong just now, Xuan Xuan was not angry?"

She suddenly remembered a sentence: people always change.

Yaojuan thought she had found the answer, and nodded to herself: "So that's the case, he used to be just a prince, so he didn't have any temper, but now that he is a king, he always has to put some shelves out. ”

Thinking of this, Yao Wan shook her head helplessly and sighed: "It's difficult, it's so difficult!"

Bai Qian looked at the desperate Yaojuan and asked, "What happened to the high priest today?"

Yaojuan kept shaking her head and chanting: "You mortals are so difficult to understand. ”
