Chapter 15 The Expedition

At this time, in addition to being frightened, Yaohuan was at a loss, she knew that she would not have such a strange dream in vain, but what this dream meant, and what it had to do with her, she couldn't say it herself.

The face in the dream was exactly the same as her own face in reality, who was the person she saw in the dream? Could it really be herself?

On the second day of Xuan's expedition, it was rainy in the mortal world.

The rain god statue has never been out of the mansion for hundreds of years, and when he comes out, he wants to show off his existence to the world in a high-profile manner, standing on the head of the clouds riveting the rain.

Yaohuan stood under the eaves of the bamboo house, looking at the rain pouring down, and was a little worried about Xuanxuan and his party who were still on the march.

The rain had been falling for several hours, but she had no intention of stopping, and she remembered that Yao Ying still had some friendship with the rain god, so she hurriedly sent a letter to the Chishui Shenjun's mansion with a messenger bird.

Yao Ying's efficiency was okay, and after half an hour, the rain in the mortal realm stopped.

When Yaohuan returned to the bamboo house, she found that a futon had been drenched in the rain, so she hurriedly used a spell to dry the quilt.

She found a few pieces of bamboo, jumped on the roof, and covered the leaks on the roof of the bamboo house with bamboo chips.

Suddenly there was a rush of wind in her ears, and Yaojuan hurriedly looked behind her, and a white light flashed in the sky, coming in the direction of the Baili clan, and finally landed outside the Baili Gate.

Yaojuan jumped down from the roof and said to herself, "Could it be that someone from the divine realm has come?"

Before the words fell, Bai Qi hurriedly ran over: "High priest, the messenger of the divine realm is outside the door, and he said that he wants to see you." ”

Yaohuan replied: "Got it." Then she swept past Bai Qi and walked quickly towards the gate of the village.

It was Shuyang, the Emperor's guard, who came, and the Emperor of Heaven sent him, there should be something important to inform her.

As soon as he saw Yaojiao, he stepped forward and saluted solemnly: "Princess, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Yaojuan nodded and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Shuyang took out a letter from his bosom and said, "The Emperor of Heaven asked me to send a letter to the princess, the secret of the divine realm on the letter cannot be known by others, and I also ask the princess to destroy the letter immediately after reading it." ”

The secret of the divine realm, what secret, has to be sent to Baili at this time? Could it be that the matter of the letter is also related to Baili?

Yaowan glanced at Bai Qi, who was standing beside her, reached out to take the letter, and replied, "I know." What else do you have to say?"

Shuyang saluted and said: "There is only this one thing, my subordinates are disturbed." ”

Yaohuan waved her hand and said, "I received the letter, you can go back." ”

Shuyang said: "Farewell." Then he turned into a white light and went away.

When Bai Qian, who had not seen much of the world, was still looking for the shadow of Shuyang everywhere, Yaojiao had already walked to the bamboo house with the letter.

Bai Ji reacted and hurriedly trotted to follow.

When she arrived at the bamboo house, the cloth in Yaojuan's hand had turned into ashes, and Yaohuan raised her hand to raise the ashes, and the ashes fell into the dust with the wind and disappeared.

Yao's face was heavy, she turned to Bai Qi and said, "Bai Qi, you go and make me a pot of tea." ”

Bai Qi bowed and said, "Got it, let's go." ”

When Bai Qian went out, she glanced back at the bamboo house, and what she saw was a melancholy look on Yao Jiao's face, she didn't know what was on the letter in Yao Ji's hand, and she didn't know why Yao Wan burned it, but she faintly felt in her heart that what was written on this letter must be a big thing about Bai Li.

Yaojuan carefully recalled the sentence on the letter: "If you can find the fragment of the Silk Yuan in the hands of the Baili patriarch, you will return to the divine realm immediately." ”

The Emperor of Heaven sent this letter to Yaojuan at this time, it can be seen that the relationship between the Silk Yuan Fragment and the Mixed Yuan Banner is very clear, the Emperor of Heaven wants her to find the Silk Yuan Fragment in the mortal world, and then bring the Silk Yuan Fragment back to the God Realm, but what does he mean when he suddenly tells Yao Yuan about this?

Could it be that letting her come to the mortal realm to protect the Baili clan is just a pretense, and the real reason why the Emperor of Heaven called her to the mortal world is not because of the Baili flood, but because of the fragments of the Silk Yuan?

Yao Yao hurriedly opened the cabinet, took out the box containing the fragments of the silk yuan, took out another piece of clothing from the cabinet, spread it out on the corner of the table, put the box on it, wrapped it layer by layer, and added two more layers of prohibition on it, stuffed it to the bottom of the cabinet, and hastily covered a few old clothes.

She closed the cabinet and sat down in front of the desk, Bai Qi also walked in with the brewed tea, Yaojuan pointed to the desk, and said, "Just put it here." ”

Bai Qi squatted down, put the tea on the table, took the tea cup over, poured the tea, handed it to Yaojiao, and asked with some hesitation: "What is on the mind of the high priest?"

Yaohuan said: "Bai Qi, have you ever doubted your dearest person?"

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "What the high priest said, Bai Qi doesn't understand very well. ”

Yaojuan thought for a moment and explained: "That's right, someone gave you a piece of gold, and one day, he told you that the gold he gave you earlier was actually made of stone, and you have to deceive other people to get the real gold, what will you do?"

Bai Qi said: "Bai Qi only knows that trust is worth more than that ingot of gold. ”

Yaowan stared at Bai Qi for a moment, and said silently: "Trust?"

She was in turmoil before, but now it is very clear, the fragment of the Silk Yuan is Xuanxuan's, how to deal with it, or wait for Xuanxuan to come back and ask him to decide.

She pondered for a moment, and decided to put the matter behind her, forgetting the contents of the letter, and not thinking about it again.

Before Xuan Yu left, she handed over all the affairs of the clan to a group of old ministers, and Yao Wan was very idle, except that Xuan Yu sometimes came to the bamboo house to annoy her, and she had a good life these days.

Speaking of Xuanyu, it really gives Yaohuan a headache.

He and Tu Shanmiao are like enemies in their previous lives, like a pair of living treasures.

The two of them are in one place, either bickering or fighting.

Sometimes in front of Yaomiao, they do not restrain themselves, Yaowan in order to ask for a quiet, Tu Shanmiao sent Tu Shanmiao to the ruling ministers to help, but a few days, Tu Shanmiao ran back, after that, she restrained a lot, and no longer did everything against Xuanyu. And Xuanyu probably felt that it was boring to have less opponents, and gradually stopped deliberately embarrassing her, and the two of them finally settled down a lot.

Yaohuan didn't seriously ask her about her experience in the past few days, but she also knew that a little girl, facing several old men who were over half a hundred years old all day long, could suffocate her to death.

A few days ago, a rain fell on a whim of the rain god, but it brought a lot of trouble to the white birds: several barns where the white birds stored rice and grain were flooded, and the rice and rice grains were soaked in the rain, and when the sun was full, the people in the village took their own dustpans and bamboo baskets to help, and took the rice and grain in the warehouses to the sun to dry.

Yaowan had nothing to do, so she asked Xuanyu for a fan to shade the sun, and lay down on her own bamboo house to sleep.

At dusk, Yaojuan came down from the bamboo house, but saw a faint yellow air in the northwest corner of the village, like a dragon pattern, accumulated, straight to the nine days.

She hurriedly picked up the fan and looked for the yellow gas, but before it reached the northwest corner, it disappeared.

Yaowan looked around, but suddenly remembered that Xuanyu's room seemed to be nearby, and Xuanyu, who was studying history books in the house, heard the noise outside, put down the book, and walked out of the house.

Yaohuan frowned slightly, staring at Xuanyu thoughtfully, the dim yellow qi that she saw on the roof just now that looked like a dragon pattern was indeed a good royal spirit, but now Xuanxuan is the king of the white bird, so how can this royal qi appear here?

Yaowan looked at the Xuanyu who had just come out and asked, "Did you see anything just now?"

Xuanyu looked in the direction that Yaojuan had just looked, but he didn't see anything, he asked Yaojuan, "What do you see?"

Yaohuan's brain suddenly stirred, and she hurriedly shook her head with a smile and said, "It's okay, maybe I just read it wrong." ”

She was about to leave, but she heard Xuanyu say, "Sister Yu, I have something to ask you." ”

When Yaowan turned around, she saw that Xuanyu's expression was a little strange, his eyes glanced at him unnaturally, and there were two crimson clouds crawling on his cheeks, but he looked a little embarrassed.

Yaohuan stared at him for a long time before asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Xuanyu stretched out his hand and twisted a leaf from the potted plant next to him, and said, "Sister Yu, what does a girl look like when she likes someone?"

This stumped her, Yao Wan thought about this question about Xuanyu for a long time, but she didn't come up with anything.

She reached out and touched her head, looked at Xuanyu who was quietly waiting for her answer, and said with some embarrassment: "This, the question you asked is a bit profound, I haven't been in the mortal world for a long time, and I don't know very well, so you can ask Bai Qi or other girls in the village, they may know." ”

Xuanyu responded with some disappointment, and Yaoyu turned around and left.

Xuanyu opened his mouth with some hesitation: "Wait a minute, Sister Yu." Xuanyu looked a little confused, and looked at her seriously.

Yaojuan asked, "What else is going on?"

Xuanyu stepped forward and said: "A few days ago, it rained heavily, and a huge hole was washed out by the heavy rain outside the door, and the guards guarding the door felt that this was just a trivial matter. Then, that night, I had a strange dream. ”

Why did Xuanyu also have strange dreams? Yaowan asked, "What dreams did you have?"

Xuan Yu cleared his throat and said: "I dreamed that I was wearing a mourning robe, and a dozen steps away in front of the bamboo fence, I saw a stone turtle floating in the air, spitting red light from its mouth, and there were patterns on its back, and soon it fell to the ground again, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. ”

He relayed this dream to Yaojuan as it was, and after Yaojuan listened to it, her right eyelid jumped desperately a few times very abruptly.

Yaowan lowered her head and thought about it, Xuan Xuan's dream was also very strange, but it was somewhat related to what she saw today, she pressed the shock in her heart, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's okay, it's just a dream, and I often have such strange dreams."

Xuanyu frowned slightly and said, "Sister Yu also thinks it's nothing?"

Yao smiled and said, "Of course, it's just a dream, and it can't be true." ”

Xuanyu swallowed and spat, and continued, "After that, I asked someone to dig up the place where I saw the stone turtle disappear in my dream, but I saw this. ”

Yaojuan's smile was cold on her face, she took the thing in Xuanyu's hand, picked it up and took a closer look, and was shocked: the stone turtle is only the size of a palm, and it looks very ordinary, there is nothing peculiar, but Yaohuan soon saw two lines of small words on its back: Heavenly Hongwang, Yunling Bichang.

Yaohuan has heard people say that the stone turtle negative character is the emperor's order, this stone turtle was picked up by Xuanyu first, and the royal qi appeared here, Xuanyu is not in the white bird now, is the Xuanyu is the king of the white bird that obeys the destiny of heaven?

Yaowan clenched the stone turtle in her hand and said, "Lend me this to take a look, and I will return it to you in a few days." ”

Xuanyu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Yaojiao said again: "If it's okay, I'll go back first." ”

Xuanyu stopped talking and silently watched Yaojuan leave.

Yaowan walked back to the bamboo house quickly, and Bai Qi just made a pot of tea and sent it over: "This is the new tea this year, it was soaked in the water from the well dug by the first king, and the high priest should come and taste it." ”

Yaowan glanced at Bai Qi and said, "No need, you can drink it yourself, I have something to do, I want to go back to the God Realm, if anyone in the clan looks for me something, just tell Tu Shanmiao." ”

Bai Qi hurriedly stood up and asked, "The last time the high priest left the God Realm, it was a few years since he left, how long will he go this time?"

Yaohuan thought for a while and replied, "When I return to the God Realm, it is just a few teas, and in the mortal realm, it will only take two or three days at most. ”

Bai Qi lowered his eyes and replied softly, "Yes." ”

Yaowan opened the cupboard, took a clean dress to change into, and when she came out of the room, she picked up the stone turtle and put it in her sleeve.

As soon as she got out of the bamboo house, she flew east on the clouds.

The gate of the mountain was closed today, and Yaohuan opened the door with her divine power, and when she ran to the back mountain, Qin Bi was drying herbs alone in front of the medicine dock.

Yaowan stepped forward lightly, wanting to scare him, but Qin Bi opened his mouth first: "You're back?"

Yaohuan turned around and sat down in front of the stone table, pouted and said, "It's boring, you found it again." ”

Qin Bi turned around, put the sieve in front of the stone table, and sat down as well, "Why are you here?

Yaojiao glanced at him, looked at the thin layer of soil that fell out of the sieve, covered her mouth and nose and said, "You can pay attention, you will choke to death." ”

Qin Biao smiled and said, "You are embarrassed to say that when I was sorting out the herbs today, I found that none of the herbs you collected in the medicine bag a few days ago were placed in the right place, and some of them were no longer usable, so I cleared them out." ”

Yaohuan said: "You are willing, I didn't ask you." ”

Qin Bi stared at Yaohuan with wide eyes and said, "You haven't said it yet, why did you come back suddenly?"

Yao Yao exhaled a long breath, took out the stone turtle in her sleeve, and put it in front of Qin Bi.

Qin Biao slapped his palms a few times, wiped his hands with his clothes, took the stone turtle in his hand and looked at it for a moment, put it down and said, "What is this?"

Yaojuan asked: "This is dug up in the white oriole when it is raining these days, I think it is strange, so I came to you to take a look." ”

Qin Pyo thought for a moment and said, "I guess who accidentally threw it there, right?"

Yaowan shook her head and said, "No, I saw Wang Qi in Baili today, but the strange thing is that he appeared in the place where Xuanxuan's younger brother lived. ”

Qin Biao said lightly: "Didn't the Emperor of Heaven tell you before?Your time in the mortal realm is only until the end of Xuan Xuan's life, during this period, you just need to be your high priest, and other things are just those mortals' own affairs, and when Xuan Xuan dies, the affairs of the mortal world have nothing to do with you, what do you care so much?"

Yaowan lowered her eyes and said: "But I think this matter is a little strange, I thought that the reason why the Emperor of Heaven called me to go down to the mortal world is because of the magic of our Jinwu clan, and in the divine realm, only our Jinwu clan can cure the floods in the mortal realm, so he sent me to the lower realm, but a few days ago, I knew that this was not the case at all." ”

Qin Biao asked, "How do you say this?"

Yaowan paused and continued: "The real reason why he asked me to go down to earth seems to be related to the mixed yuan banner in the hands of the demon clan. ”

Qin Biao touched his chin and said suspiciously, "Mixed Yuan Banner, isn't that a holy relic that has been lost for a long time, and what does it have to do with the Demon Clan?"

Yaowan shook her head and said: "Let's just say that you stay in the back mountain all day, you don't have any knowledge at all, the mixed yuan banner appeared in the country of Xiazhou hundreds of years ago, the demon clan is not far from Xiazhou, this mixed yuan banner is afraid that it has already fallen into the hands of Yu Yu." ”

Qin Pyo continued to ask, "Then what are you going to do about this matter?"

Yaohuan said: "I don't want to care about the affairs of the demon clan, I just want to figure out the affairs of Xuanyu and Xuanyu." ”

Qin Pyo thought for a moment and said, "They are all mortals, if you want to check them, you shouldn't go to the God Realm to check." ”

Yaojuan asked, "Where are you going?"

Qin Biao said: "Youdu. ”

Yaohuan asked: "You mean the reincarnation book in the hands of the King of Youdu? That is an object related to the order of heaven and earth, can the King of Youdu borrow it from me?"

Qin Bi immediately shook his head: "No, only the Emperor of Heaven and the King of Youdu in this world are qualified to go through the reincarnation book, and the rest of the people will be unlucky even if they accidentally see it." ”

Yaowan said dejectedly: "That means, I still can't know the truth of this matter?"

Qin Bi nodded and said, "If you want to know, go directly to the Emperor of Heaven and see if he will tell you." ”

Yaohuan shook her head when she thought of Shuyang's expression when she came to deliver the letter.

Qin Biao said: "In this case, I think you might as well be quiet, and treat it as if you don't know anything." ”

Yaohuan sighed and didn't speak again.

When she left the mountain and returned to Baili, it was already the time of the year, and as soon as she walked into the bamboo house, she saw Bai Qi looking at her with a sad expression, and Yaowan stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Qi choked up and said: "There is an urgent report from the border, Ziyan burned most of the grain and grass of the Wang army at night, and the Wang army is trapped in Minshan and the situation is critical. ”

Yao Wan was stunned, and only said after a while: "Where is Minshan?"

Bai Qi sniffed and said, "A barren mountain more than three hundred miles south from here, and there are no people. ”

Yaohuan asked, "Then how do you find them now?"

Bai Qian shook his head and whispered, "I don't know." ”

Yaojuan asked, "Then do you know where Ziyan's tribe is?"

Bai Qi replied: "It's also in the Yin of Minshan." ”
