Chapter 19: Into the Tiger's Den
Seeing Tan Cheng walking away, Yao Yuan hurriedly leaned over to Lei Yuan's side, her lips moved, and while staring at Yu Yu, she asked in a low voice: "They don't look like they are good stubble, can you beat them?"
Lei Yuan skimmed away from Yao's gaze, squinted at Xiao Yu, who was staring at him not far away, and replied: "The girl is very smart, I can deal with these people alone, or according to what I said before, the girl will go first, my things, please keep them for two days, and when I go out, I will come to look for you." ”
Yaohuan was stunned, looked at the demon soldiers around her, and said without thinking: "Okay, then be careful yourself." ”
Yu Yu seemed to see their intentions, and hurriedly said, "Don't let them run away." ”
Lei Yuan hurriedly threw the burden in his hand, the burden was impartial, and it happened to fall into the arms of Yao Yuan, who had already flashed to the door, Yao Yuan didn't dare to stay, pushed open a door in the main hall with one palm, took the burden and ran out, and the surrounding guards came forward one after another, but they were all blocked by Lei Yuan with a spell following him.
After Yaojuan left the main hall, she ran all the way along the way she came, and the sound of fighting behind her gradually faded away, after she went out of the city gate, she drove the cloud forward for more than an hour before stopping, bending over and panting and looking at the burden in her hand and muttering to herself: "I want me to be a goddess, I am helping you the people in the demon clan today, it is really forced by the situation, and I have no choice but to help you collect this thing, if you have a life to come out of the demon capital, I will return it to you one day, and it will be regarded as a life-saving grace for that day." ”
Yaohuan walked forward, while listening to the movement behind her, but fortunately, no one chased her, she sighed and said to herself: "This Lei Yuan is really like the legend, but he has some skills." ”
When she returned to the bamboo house, she lay down on the couch, and the strength to move up and down her body was gone, thinking about today's events, but she was a little strange: Yu Yu seemed to have known that he would go to the magic capital, so he set up an ambush outside the main hall and invited you to enter the urn, but how did he know about this matter?
Tu Shanmiao was the only one who knew that she was going to the Demon Capital that day, although she was a witch clan and had spiritual power, but in the end she was a mortal, even if she wanted to send a letter to Yu Yu, it was impossible to arrive so quickly, not to mention that after Yu Yu received the letter, she had to arrange a deployment plan in advance. It can't be Tu Shanmiao, is there any other master around him? So who is this person?
Yaohuan had a headache and swelled, her face was full of sadness, she hugged her porcelain pillow and muttered to herself, and Bai Qi, who was going to send food, jumped.
Yaohuan looked at the porridge in Bai Qi's hand and said, "What is this?"
Bai Qi said: "This is stewed by Mrs. Yao herself, it is the favorite food of the Prince of Xuanyu, and Mrs. Yao asked me to bring it to the high priest to taste." ”
Yaowan shook her head listlessly and said, "I'm not hungry, you can help me eat." ”
Bai Ji was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Got it, High Priest." ”
Yaojuan asked, "How is Xuanxuan?"
Bai Qi replied: "The king woke up yesterday, ate the herbs boiled by the doctor, and is now recovering well. She paused, looked at Yaojuan carefully, and said, "Yesterday, there were people from the God Realm again. ”
Yaohuan had long been accustomed to it, and asked without blinking her eyelids, "What is the matter this time?"
Bai Qi replied: "The man said, when you come back, let me tell you, take the time to go back to the divine realm, he said that your father has something important to tell you." ”
Yaohuan thought for a moment and asked, "My father, which father do I have?"
Bai Qi shook his head with some confusion and said, "This, he didn't say it clearly, and I don't know." ”
Yaohuan sighed: "Okay, I know, anyway, I'm just a hard and busy life, running at both ends of the god realm and the mortal realm all day long, and my legs are going to break." ”
Bai Qi gritted his teeth and whispered, "Does the high priest not like the life of the mortal realm?"
When Yao Wan heard this, she said secretly: It's not good, I said the wrong thing again. She hurriedly flipped it up and smiled laboriously: "How come, you think too much, I just said it casually." ”
Only then did Bai Qian show his face and say, "That's fine." ”
Seeing that Bai Qi's face returned to normal, Yaohuan lay back and said: "The Divine Realm should go again tomorrow, anyway, it's not bad for this time, I've been tired for a few days, I want to sleep first, you go down and do your own thing first." ”
Thinking of the burden given by Lei Yuan, she felt sleepy for a moment, she jumped up and spread the burden on the couch, ran to the cabinet again, took out the tight silk yuan fragment wrapped before, opened the two boxes one by one, and placed them neatly on the couch.
Then she took the Mixed Yuan Banner in her hand and looked at it, she had heard her grandfather say before, the Mixed Yuan Banner was the last holy relic born in the Chaos Period, which was originally in the hands of the people of the God Realm, and then I didn't know what happened, the fairy suddenly seemed to disappear, there was no news in this world, and the Mixed Yuan Banner in his hand naturally lost its whereabouts. Until tens of thousands of years ago, when the gods and demons were fighting, the mixed yuan banner reappeared, and after a bloody storm, it disappeared and sank, it turned out to fall into the hands of the demon royal family, and it may have been because of the mixed yuan flag, as the demon elder, Yu Qi ascended the throne of the demon king.
The totem on the mixed yuan banner symbolizes the unity of yin and yang, it is said that it is very powerful, when the gods and demons were in the war, the demon generals used the mixed yuan banner to defeat thousands of divine soldiers in the god realm, and Yao's maternal grandfather Fengdi, was also injured under it.
If all the fragments of the Mixed Yuan Banner and the Silk Yuan fell into the hands of the Demon Clan, not to mention the Heavenly Emperor, she was afraid that she would not be able to sleep in peace.
Now that the Silk Yuan Fragment and the Mixed Yuan Banner are in her hands, and the safety of the God Realm is also tied to her, what should she do?
She held the Mixed Yuan Banner in her left hand and the Silk Yuan Fragment in her right hand, and she couldn't make a decision for a long time, and when she put the two things back into the box with a sad heart, the Silk Yuan Fragment and the Mixed Yuan Banner slowly flew out of her hand, and after flying in the air a few times, they actually merged together.
She picked up the Mixed Yuan Banner that had fallen firmly in her hand, and tore desperately at the previous stump a few times, trying to tear off the Silk Yuan Fragment, but she couldn't separate them, and took the Mixed Yuan Banner in front of her eyes to look carefully, the previous gap had disappeared, and the two things became one.
Yaohuan wanted to cry without tears, and wailed: "It's over, it's really over." ”
The two things are now together, the worst thing is that they are all stored here by others, if one day, two people come to her at the same time to ask, who should she give things to?
As if holding two hot potatoes, she thought about it all night, but still couldn't come up with any available solutions.
This is the biggest problem that Yao Wan has encountered in the mortal realm since she left the divine realm, and this matter is not suitable for telling others, with her own experience and cultivation, it is still unknown whether she can solve this problem, let alone consider other things that may happen.
At this time, Yaohuan was frustrated to find that she was not the material to solve the trouble at all.
Before she came to the mortal realm, her father and mother had already gone to Danxue Mountain, so Bai Qi said that her father in the god realm could only be the Emperor of Heaven.
On the second day, at noon in the mortal realm, Yao Jiao went to the divine realm without much energy.
A few days ago, the Emperor of Heaven looked at Yaojuan's appearance of dying, frowned slightly, and several strings of jade on the crown shook in front of Yaojuan's eyes, Yaohuan thought she was dazzled, and hurriedly shook her head desperately.
The Emperor of Heaven opened his mouth and said, "Er, I haven't seen you for a few days, why did you become like this?"
The errand assigned by the Emperor of Heaven, no one in the God Realm dared to slack off, thinking of the matter of the mixed Yuan Banner, Yao Jiao began to deeply regret the hasty decision she had made before, she wanted to cry without tears, and thought for a long time before saying such a sentence: "Father-in-law, you didn't tell me before that being a mortal high priest would be so troublesome. ”
The Heavenly Emperor smiled, leaned back, leaned back in his chair and said, "What's the matter?"
Yaojuan thought about it seriously and replied: "The righteous father can send a few immortals who have no priesthood to Baili to feel what kind of life is in the mortal world. ”
The Emperor of Heaven looked at Yaojuan and said, "I heard that you have just arrived in the mortal realm, and you have cured the floods around the white oriole, and you have also helped the Wu clan to go to the disaster, you have done a good job in this matter." ”
Yaojuan said helplessly: "I belong to the Jinwu clan, and I am naturally doing things like controlling floods, but I have been in Baili for a few years, only to find that this mortal village is far more than just a troublesome thing like floods, and natural disasters and man-made disasters in the mortal world are continuous, if you want to protect Baili, my more than 30,000 years of cultivation is far from enough." ”
The Heavenly Emperor nodded and muttered, "You are right, I will think about this matter, or send someone down to help you." ”
Yao's sorrowful expression decreased slightly, her expression instantly relaxed a lot, and she said, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”
The Emperor of Heaven smiled, beckoned Yao Wan to sit down, handed her a food box on the case, and said: "This is the meal that I asked the imperial chef of the God Realm to make for you, when you will leave, remember to bring it, you can eat this if you are not used to eating things from the mortal world." ”
Yaohuan took the food box, opened it and took a look, it was her favorite osmanthus soup, as well as a few simple side dishes, a pot of Yuli Chun, which should be neatly placed in the food box.
Yao smiled and said, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”
The Emperor of Heaven suddenly picked up a stack of bamboo books beside his left hand and said, "I asked Shuyang to send you a letter to Baili before, can you read the letter?"
Yaohuan covered the food box, put it beside her, looked up and quickly replied, "Look." ”
The Emperor of Heaven said again: "How did you do with the matter on the letter?"
Yaowan suddenly felt a headache, she held up a smile and said, "My daughter is inquiring, and when I get something, I will definitely bring it back to the divine realm." ”
The Heavenly Emperor smiled, "Okay." Recently, you have been in the mortal realm, can you find out what happened to the demons?"
Yao Wan replied truthfully: "I have heard a lot about this matter when I was in Baili, a while ago I heard that Lei Yuan and Yu Yu have a bad relationship, on the surface brother and brother Gong, secretly but incompatible, a few days ago, Yu Yu seemed to marry the daughter of the demon prime minister Tan Cheng, this matter is very unfavorable to Lei Yuan, I heard that since he returned to the demon capital back to the mountain, he began to be diligent in training soldiers, in the opinion of his daughter, maybe it won't be long before Lei Yuan will fight back. ”
The Emperor of Heaven nodded approvingly, and said thoughtfully: "Yu Yu and Lei Yuan are brothers, fighting in the same room, and the demon clan should not be far from the day of chaos." ”
Yao Yao's face was embarrassed, and said: "Before, a branch of the Baili clan rebelled, and when the battle was fought, there was a demon magic circle in front of the two armies, and the rebels should have the help of the demons. ”
The Emperor of Heaven nodded and said: "I remember, the white oriole is only separated by a water from the mountain, this is indeed a trouble, when you leave today, go find Shuyang, I have already informed him, your affairs in the mortal realm, Shuyang will do his best to help." ”
Yao Huan said happily: "It would be nice to have someone to help." ”
The Emperor of Heaven stared at Yaojuan and said with concern: "I see that your face is not very good, if you are not feeling well, just rest in the Divine Realm for a few days before leaving." ”
Yao Jiao thought that she still had a lot of things to do in Baili, and Huo Luzhu and Chaoyuan Banner were still in Baili, but it was not appropriate, so she thought about going back quickly, and hurriedly said: "No need, I still have urgent matters, so I'll go back." ”
The Emperor of Heaven thought for a while and said, "It's okay, my name is Shuyang and then set off." ”
Yaojiao said: "Yes." ”
After she saluted, she withdrew with the food box.
After leaving the divine realm, Yao Juan found that her palms were full of sweat, and it was really dangerous, the Emperor of Heaven really asked about the fragment of the Silk Yuan, fortunately, he had thought of a rhetoric before leaving the white bird, so that he could temporarily suppress this matter, and the matter of the fragment of the Silk Yuan could not be known to the Emperor of Heaven now.
When bringing the food box back to Baili, Yaojuan immediately carried it to Xuanxuan's dormitory, the dormitory was very quiet, not even a trace of noisy sound, after Yaojuan entered, she saw Xuanxuan was sitting at the table not far from the couch, there was a thick stack of music on the case, there was no too much look between his eyebrows, and he was quietly turning over the music.
There was also a woman in plain clothes standing next to him, standing very close to him, holding the wick with a lamp, and the flame of the wick danced with the lamp in her hand.
The people around Xuan Xuan looked too familiar, and when Yao Wan saw her side face, she was a little shocked, it was actually Tu Shanmiao!
She was the protector appointed by Yaojuan in Baili, how could she willingly do the errand of a servant?
The picture in front of him was quiet and beautiful, but the appearance of Yao Ji made all this change: Tu Shanmiao and Xuan Xuan almost found Yao Ji standing at the door with a stunned expression.
Tu Shanmiao's cheeks flushed crimson, looked at Yao Wan for a moment, then turned to look at Xuan Xuan on the side, put down the lamp in his hand, and bowed his head silently.
Yao Juan looked at Xuan Ju again, the expression on his face seemed to be a little unnatural, he looked up at Yao Juan fixedly, and a zhu pen in his right hand fell on the open note, and the color on the note changed, and the head of the zhu pen also changed shape.
Yaohuan stood in place for a moment, reacted, and walked towards the two with a smile on her face.
She lifted the food box in her hand and put it next to Song Shu, and said, "This is what I brought from the Divine Realm, and it just so happens that you are all here, so how about you taste it too." ”
She looked at Xuan Xuan and found that his complexion was much better than when he came back yesterday, and said with a relieved smile: "Your face is much better, although the injuries on your body are not serious, but you should also rest well, don't worry about these things for the time being." ”
She glanced at Tu Shanmiao, but didn't say anything, the time she came here was not too early, but Tu Shanmiao was still staying in Xuan Xuan's room, when did they become so close, it seems that she should have missed a lot of wonderful things on the day she left Baili.
A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and she said lightly: "Farewell." Soon he disappeared in the doorway.
Yaohuan was far away, and she heard a series of footsteps next to the bamboo house, and she kept walking around the bamboo house, and she never stayed away for a long time.
Yao Ji remembered what happened before, and said in her heart: "Why did you come so fast?"
She quickly rushed to the bamboo hut and said to the open space in front of the bamboo hut, "Since you are here, come out!"
A person walked out from behind the tree on the left side of the clearing, it was the third prince of the demon clan that Yao Jiao met in the demon clan yesterday, Lei Yuan.
Lei Yuan smiled and said, "The girl is back, I'll come to the girl to get my things back." ”
Yaowan was stunned, didn't dare to look at his eyes, lowered her head, and said after a while: "This, this matter seems to be a little difficult, can we discuss it again?"
Lei Yuan saw Yaohuan's embarrassed face, and asked a little eagerly: "What's the matter, but what happened to the things I asked you to take from the Demon Capital?"
Yaojuan replied: "Not really, but now this matter is really in trouble, I may not be able to pay you back what you want, can you give me some more time?"
Lei Yuan narrowed the corners of his eyes, held his chin with one hand and said, "What kind of trouble happened?
Yaowan shook her head and replied, "No." ”
Lei Yuan was not angry, and said slowly: "What's going on?"
Yaowan thought for a while, continued to shake her head, and said, "I may not be able to tell you the secrets of our divine realm in this matter. ”
Lei Yuan was confused and asked, "When does the girl plan to give me the things?"
Yao Wan hurriedly said: "Soon, just give me a little more time, well, it will take about ten days, or half a month, and after half a month, you come to Baili again, I will definitely return your things to the original owner, and I will never break my word." ”
Lei Yuan thought about it, and nodded in agreement: "It's okay, since the girl said so, just follow what you said, and after half a month, please keep the promise and return the things to the next." ”
Yaohuan nodded again and again, and said: "It must be, you can rest assured, since I was born, I have lived for so long and have never told a lie to anyone, Your Royal Highness can rest assured." ”
Lei Yuan nodded lightly, and no longer asked Yaohuan about the specific reason, but said softly: "It's so late, disturbing the girl's rest, so I'll go back first." ”
Yaohuan said enthusiastically: "Then I'll send His Royal Highness out." ”
Lei Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need, girl, please." ”
Watching Lei Yuan leave, Yao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, this Lei Yuan actually really believed what she said, and she was relieved to hand over something as important as the Mixed Yuan Banner to herself, which she didn't expect.
