CHAPTER XXI
Since the day of the arrival of the Terrans, the spirits of the mountains have lost their former joy and suddenly fallen silent.
The morning mist in the mountains was misty and chilly, and the light gray clouds obscured the sun's brilliance, suppressing all warmth for a while. Looking down from the stone pavilion on the top of the mountain, you can see the vast sea of clouds and the wind and clouds. Tongshan is one of the few remaining mountain ranges in the human world that has not fallen so far, but it will also fall under the rule of the human race in the future.
Shaodian led Xumo to sit down in the pavilion, and the puppets around him poured tea for them, Shaodian picked up the teacup and took a sip before putting it down. Xumo seemed to sense something, and turned his head towards the outside of the pavilion. Zhao Han stood outside the pavilion, stopping Hujiang Shizi, who had to break inside.
Yesterday, Zhao Han took Hujiang to Shaodian as promised. At that time, Shaodian was checking the blasting charm at the wellhead, preparing to blast the entrance open and take out the main body. Because Xumo ordered someone to set up a protective barrier inside after discovering the main body, they didn't have to worry about the explosion hurting the main body, but the damage to this mountain was not in their consideration.
After Hu Jiang arrived, he couldn't help much, so he just watched from the sidelines, but he couldn't be idle, walking back and forth nearby, touching this for a while, moving that for a while, Zhao Han saw that he had been active on the edge of the enchantment and asked him to go inside, there was a cliff outside, he was afraid that if Hu Jiang fell down carelessly, then he would be in big trouble.
Hujiang was obedient and obedient, and immediately came to Shaodian's side, Shaodian didn't have time to care about him, so he left it to him. But everyone didn't expect that Hujiang didn't recognize the blasting talisman, and Hujiang Shizi, who didn't recognize the blasting talisman, secretly tore up a sheet and studied it himself. Wei Po was standing beside Hujiang at the time, and when he saw Shizi looking at the blasting charm in confusion, he knew that he shouldn't recognize it, so he kindly told him how to use it. Shizi has always been a bold and practical teenager, after listening to Wei Po's introduction, he immediately took out the fire fold and lit the blasting talisman, holding the burning talisman and happily turned back to Wei Po: "Hey, is that so?"
The power of the blasting talisman itself is not great, but when you add the fire of Xumo and Shaodian, the power will increase tenfold. So as long as you throw it out in time, there will be no problems.
Wei Po originally wanted to tease Hujiang, who let him keep pestering Shaodian to cause the order to be in a bad mood, and once the order general was in a bad mood, it was the people below them who suffered.
Wei Po suddenly said to Hujiang with an anxious face: "Shizi, throw it away, it's about to explode!"
Hu Jiang was really panicked by him so frightened, and he subconsciously ran to Shaodian with a talisman without a head. Shaodian Yuguang caught a glimpse of Hujiang rushing towards her, and after turning around, he met Shizi who was holding the burning blasting talisman with both hands, and thought that it would be good to wait for him to come over and extinguish it, but Hujiang didn't want to hurt Shaodian and changed direction halfway, and finally tripped over a stone and fell, and the talisman also came out of his hand, and ignited the entire pasted blasting talisman in an instant, and then there were "crackling" and "booming" sounds one after another, and Shaodian's face sank. She reacted quickly and retreated with everyone the moment the blasting charm ignited, otherwise those ordinary soldiers would have been injured.
In the end, King Anting heard the movement and brought someone over, and then brought back the sluggish prince and cleaned up the scene by the way. In this way, it will have to be delayed for a day to take out the body, but this time Shaodian is really angry.
Hujiang was grounded by King Anting again, but he still sneaked out. He thought that he would at least apologize to Shaodian in person, who knew that Shaodian didn't want to see him at all. Zhao Han kept stopping him from letting him in, but it was useless for him to say all the good things, and then looked up at Shaodian, who kept looking at Yunhai, obviously not wanting to see him.
No, even if he is frustrated and helpless, he can only go back.
Watching Hujiang's back slowly disappear, Zhao Han secretly stuffed a divine jade into his sleeve.
Jialan was sleeping at this time, and the aura in the jade had been absorbed by her, as long as the aura in her body was digested into spiritual power, she could come out.
"Jialan. ”
"Jialan?"
Who is calling her? Jialan sank to the bottom of the jade, her eyelids moved, and there were signs that she was about to wake up. There seemed to be a warm stream of water around her, making her unable to bear the onslaught of sleepiness even though she wanted to wake up.
When he returned to the tent at night, Zhao Han couldn't wait to take out the jade he had stolen from Hujiang. The jade was originally supposed to be green, but now it has turned a faint blue because of the blue color. There was a faint blue light circulating on the jade's body, and Zhao Han put it in his palm, and his clear black eyes couldn't help but smile and become soft.
All the excitement and joy turned into tenderness after seeing her touch her, maybe he used to treat her like that.
Although the fragmentation of memories confuses him, who doesn't want to know his past? It is precisely because he has been waiting for her that he wants to know more about the events of 500 years ago, hoping to find a clue to find her traces. He had forgotten her face, he had forgotten her voice, he couldn't remember everything about her, but thankfully he remembered waiting for her. It's just that he is not without loss and sadness in his heart.
He was suddenly afraid to see her, because as a mountain god, he had always been determined to die to stay in the human race, and even he was a little puzzled, could his love for Jialan really protect her? He looked at Jialan and suddenly sighed, and the emotions churning in his heart seemed to fade a lot with this sigh.
He has been a mountain god for four hundred years, a puppet for two hundred years, a total of six hundred years, and he seems to have never seen her. And he didn't have the memory of the four hundred years before the mountain god period, but he vaguely remembered that he was the locust tree god......
Zhao Han's eyes trembled, and the chaotic memory became clearer: he stretched out his hand from the mud, He Nujun picked him up, and Bai Hua stood by his side...... Spring...... Sword Practice...... The Mountain Ghost Dances...... The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, it seemed that this was already his "life" memory, and there was no Jialan in his memory, why?
He suddenly remembered what Bai Hua said to him that night, she said: More than 800 years later, Jialan should be dead. For more than 800 years, he was not born at that time. Also, she called him "Tongjun", but her own body was clearly a locust tree! At that time, she felt that this title was calling him.
He must ...... What else is not remembered.
At this time, Jialan had woken up, and she suddenly felt that something seemed to change in her body, and something was beating in her heart, hot......
In the palm of Zhao Han, the light blue hookah jade suddenly cracked, and in an instant, the surface of the divine jade was covered with cracked lines, only to hear a "click", the divine jade cracked into several petals, revealing the body of Jialan - ancient cold jade. The surface of the jade body is ice blue, smooth throughout, and there is a hint of coldness when touched in the hand.
“...... Jialan. Zhao Han was overjoyed and couldn't help but call softly.
Another god puppet? Jialan sniffed, and was about to transform into a figure, when a voice suddenly interrupted her, and the next second, her eyes dimmed.
"Recruit Han. Hujiang opened the curtain and broke in directly.
Zhao Han was quick to see and put Jialan and the broken jade into the box long before he came in.
After Hu Jiang entered the tent, he collapsed on the chair, he turned his head to look at Zhao Han, and asked: "Have you seen the jade of the master?" The master searched for many places but did not find it, thinking if it fell on the top of the mountain, but there was no on the top of the mountain, I wondered if you picked it up and put it away for the master. ”
Zhao Han stood up and pushed the wooden box on the table, signaling that it was inside.
Hujiang immediately came to his senses when he saw it, walked to the table with a smile and opened the box, and as soon as he opened it, the smile froze on his face.
"It'...... Broken?and, what is this?" Hu Jiang looked shocked, pinching Hanyu with two fingers and looking at Zhao Han.
Zhao Han glanced into the box without knowing it, and gave him a look that I didn't know about. "Maybe this divine jade has evolved. ”
"It's miserable, I'm going to wear this divine jade all the time, this ...... What if my father finds out and he wants to beat me?" Hu Jiang looked at Hanyu left and right, a little at a loss. It's as if he laid a duck egg, but he finally got an egg.
"Shizi, King Anting is not so stingy. Zhao Han was a little helpless.
Yes, his father is indeed not so stingy, but judging by the look on his face when he handed this jade to him before, he should have valued this divine jade very much, in case it is very important.
"Divine jade is an object that assists the cultivation of the prince, and it makes no difference whether it is this piece or that piece. Seeing his sad face, Zhao Han tried to persuade Hujiang to stay with Jialan.
This point woke up Hujiang. That's right, this Jialan is a cold jade, much more valuable than shisha jade. Thinking of this, Hujiang was much more relaxed, he covered his mouth with his hand and coughed, and closed the box.
He pretended to be confused, "Okay, it's pretty much the same anyway." ”
Since Hujiang had no intention of igniting all the pasted blasting charms yesterday, Shaodian stepped up his manpower to participate in the operation of blasting the wellhead with King An Ting, and almost all the extra manpower gathered in this place.
"King Anting never thought of telling Shizi about the existence of the puppet?" Shaodian looked at the busy crowd in front of him, and his black eyes faintly turned to the man beside him. "Which of the puppets and gods in the astrology hall is not human, if the son of the world continues to be ignorant and can't distinguish people, who will be sad in the end?"
"There is no need for the saint to worry. King An Ting did not squint, his brows furrowed slightly, he had never liked Shaodian, not only because Hujiang liked her hopelessly, but also because Shaodian, like several elders in the astrology hall, wantonly captured the mountain gods of the human world in order to achieve her goal.
"Hujiang is young, but some things are better said as soon as possible. ”
"Although Hujiang is young, the king who should say it will say it to him, but the king who should not say it will never allow outsiders to mention it!" King Anting turned his head to look at her, and his fierce and threatening gaze seemed to penetrate her.
Shaodian was not afraid of his threat at all, but smiled faintly: "Just like you and Shaoyin back then?"
King Anting clenched his fists and said nothing. On the surface, he looked expressionless, but the green tendons on his forehead had already revealed his mood at the moment. He gritted his teeth and whispered:
"It's better not to talk too much. After saying that, King Anting walked away, leaving Shaodian alone.
Shaodian and King An Ting both have a low status in the human race, and it can be said that the astrological hall behind the holy woman makes King An Ting even more fearful, so his threat is not painful in her opinion.
King An Ting can be said to be the only sober person in the royal family, and he is also one of the elders of the Fuping Palace, and his identity is not even known to the human king. From this point of view, it is difficult to say whether Hujiang Shizi joined Fuping. Shaodian exhaled and pulled his hands into the wide cuffs.
Not far away, all the rune papers had been prepared, and the puppets and soldiers quickly retreated, without any delay. Shaodian raised her hands, and the orange flames gradually swirled in her palms, and with a slight flick of her sleeves, the flames in her palms flew towards the center of the rune array, while she jumped and flew quickly, and quickly retreated down the mountain.
As soon as her toes touched the ground, she heard a "boom", and a loud explosion shook her backwards, and even the ground began to tremble. One sound after another, a powerful impact tore apart the outermost barrier underground, and the earth began to collapse. Smoke rose from the sky, and soon heavy rain fell, extinguishing the embers in less than a quarter of an hour.
Shaodian passed on the order, after the blasting, no one except her was allowed to approach the mountain god's body. She stood on the treetops, looked through the layers of branches, watched the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, reaching the sky, and a white dress fluttering in the wind and rain. When the smoke had subsided, she jumped down and walked towards her body.
