Chapter 51: The Celebration Banquet
Seeing Zheng Fang's action, Nan Xiao was even more shy, thinking that he was deliberately teasing her, and said angrily: "Have you heard anything!"
"No, what did I hear? I really didn't hear anything, and when I woke up, you were secretly kissing me......" Zheng Fang scratched his head, and couldn't help but smile when he said that he was secretly kissing. Nan Xiao's whispered words really didn't let Zheng Yu hear it, and if he continued to interrogate like this, he might still be suspicious, so he didn't ask any more.
One was ashamed to death, and the other was happy in the same place, like a fool.
"Nan Xiao...... No, Xiaoxiao...... Can I call you that?" Although Zheng Yu was thick-skinned, he also felt that this call seemed a little ambiguous. Seeing Nan Xiao nodded, she continued, "I've liked you for a long time, are you willing to associate with me?"
Hearing this, Nan Xiao seemed to be stimulated by a burst of microcurrent, almost every cell in her body was excited, her face was even more crimson, she lowered her head, gently raised the corners of her mouth, and pinched the hem of her clothes with both hands, looking extremely shy.
If Fei Xuan knew, it was estimated that he would be so angry that he would crack directly on the spot. Lao Tzu became an orphan outside, and you fucking sister inside, although he said so, Nan Xiao's expression gradually changed from joy to worry......
The person she likes also likes her, what a happy thing, but if she is really with Zheng Flai, and goes against her father's wishes, it is estimated that it will bring him more pain, right? She likes him, she wants to be with him, but she thinks about everything for him......
"I ...... I do not know...... Maybe we can't!You should know the rules of the City Lord's Mansion, right?" Speaking of this, both of them were stunned, the rules of the City Lord's Mansion, let alone the Zheng family, even if the entire Ice Heart City is known to everyone, this is a death order, the rules set by the City Lord's Mansion and the three major families jointly rooted in Ice Heart City, no one can break it!
Or maybe it's Zheng Fang's own wishful thinking, this girl who haunts his dreams is really reluctant to break the shackles of dogma. took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and then took her eyes off Nan Xiao and looked around, Zheng Flails could see from her reaction that she was just forced to be helpless, so Zheng Flails didn't plan to stalk on this.
The cave was still pitch black, and if they didn't find the exit sooner, the two of them would sooner or later be trapped here, becoming the second and third pairs of white bones.
After making their rounds around, the two failed to find the slightest clue about any exit. Nan Xiao looked a little sluggish, but at this time, Zheng Yu put all the gold, silver and jewelry all over the ground into her fingers, and after careful calculation, it was as much as two million silver! Seeing this move, Nan Xiao was a little puzzled.
"No, if we can't get out, no matter how much gold and silver jewelry you have, it's just a decoration, what's the use?"
"If we are really trapped here, then this is our wedding room, and we can still be together when we get to the Hades Palace!" Zheng Yu laughed, completely joking. For such a thing, he had not encountered it before, and when he couldn't find a way out no matter what, he actually used the most clumsy method to open a hole.
Of course, the current Zheng Flail is not the Zheng Flail in the previous life. In his previous life, he had the ability to open a road by himself, and now if you want him to open the way, it must be no way. As for Nan Xiao, when he saw that Zheng Fang was not doing right, he threw away a roll of his eyes.
"Go, go, what are you talking about! Who is going to the palace of Hades? I'm still young, so I don't want to die here!"
Looking at Nan Xiao's bumpy figure, Zheng Fang pursed his lips and smiled, "It's not a small place!" Hearing this, Nan Xiao's crimson, which had finally cooled down, became ruddy again. His eyes scratched him fiercely, and he ignored Zheng Fang and walked towards the coffin by himself.
I've searched up and down the tomb, but there's really no button. And the passage that caused him to fall was more than 30 meters above his head! Originally, he was about to open this coffin when he saw it, but then Zheng Feng couldn't open it anyway, and was even injured by it, and then a pair of white bones crawled out of this coffin.
Now that the coffin was opened by the white bones, the formation was naturally broken, and the two walked to the edge of the coffin together, and there was only a parchment scroll inside, which read, "Tomb of life and death, bones of life and death, the south and the north of the world do not obey each other." The bones in the coffin, the road in the coffin, and the death at the end of the coffin. ”
You look at me, I look at you, and begin to ponder the meaning of what is written on the parchment.
"What is the origin of the owner of this bone, what is this writing and what is it!" Nan Xiao is not good at thinking, although her mind is delicate, she has never been in contact with this aspect, so she turned her head to look at Zheng Yu's serious face, and then quieted down again, no longer disturbing his thinking.
Zheng Yu muttered words in his mouth, he was a human being in two lives, and his experience was definitely not comparable to anyone in the city, not to mention that he and his uncle Gan had studied medicine in his previous life, medicine and metaphysics were not separated, and the combination of these two points could be regarded as having some thoughts.
"I'll try to understand. It says the tomb of life and death, so this should be the name of this tomb, this bone of life and death...... All I can understand is that this iron-headed bull is blunt. Otherwise, if you say that this iron-headed baby is alive, where is it a living person, if you want to say that it is dead, it is quite good at jumping. As for the disobedience of the south and the north in the back......" Speaking of this, Zheng Fang's eyes lit up.
"I see! It should be the south and the north, among the four elephants, the southern Vermilion Bird, and the northern Xuanwu. In the five elements, the Vermilion Bird belongs to fire, the basalt belongs to water, and in Yin and Yang, fire belongs to the sun and water belongs to the Taiyin. And the person who can arrange this formation must be a human being, and I'm sure that this iron-headed bull must have been a person with strong yang energy and died at the hands of demons!"
Seeing Zheng Fang's thoughts becoming clearer and clearer, Nan Xiao was a little confused. He asked, "Why can't it be a demon or a demon who did it?"
"Come, let me tell you, look at this skeleton ......" Zheng Yu pointed to the cow blunt that was still burning not far away, and most of it had been burned to ashes Then he immediately changed his words: "Look at this bone, its appearance itself is the appearance of a human being, and the demon can be eliminated first." Speaking of demons, although demons can mimic the appearance of humans, they ......"
Speaking of this, Zheng Flail suddenly sold Guanzi, Nan Xiao gave him a roll of the eyes, and was about to reach out to pinch his shoulder, Zheng Flail continued to preach with a smile:
"But demons are born yang, fierce, and don't even have any yin and cold in their bodies. No matter how strong a demon is, he doesn't have the conditions to arrange this formation, so he can also exclude the demon! In addition, this tomb of life and death has a large number of gold and silver jewelry, gold and silver jewelry is originally gold, and combined with the four elephants, it represents the white tiger. ”
"The White Tiger is the main revolution in the West, that is, life and death, disaster. And our Ice Heart City is at the starting point of the western part of the empire!" Zheng Yu said, the clearer his thoughts became, and at the same time, the more excited he became.
"And the extreme yin herb on the soil represents the wood, representing the eastern green dragon, that is, the only place to live in the door! Tiannan represents that people have taken advantage of the heavens, and the north of the earth shows that the demons are only resisting. That is to say, the demons and the humans will never be able to get along! Ice Heart City has been fighting against the demons all year round, and in my inference, the final outcome must be the complete defeat of the demons!"
"Let's say the next sentence. The bones in the coffin, the road in the coffin, and the death at the end of the coffin. This sentence is how I understand it, there are bones in the coffin, there is a road in the coffin, and at the end of the road, there is no death at all, that is to say, the road in the coffin is the door of life!
"Then the question is, what is the middle road in the coffin that this refers to?" Listening to Zheng Xiao's explanation, Nan Xiao finally understood, and after asking this question, he felt that he had become a little unfathomable.
"I'll think about it again...... Zheng Flais fell into a new round of thinking......
......
Outside, the gates of Iceheart City have been largely cleared. A total of 157 demons were killed, including two Wuchong Mountain ranks, while their own side lost a total of 131 people, and no Wuchong Mountain and Liuju Mountain powerhouses were killed. The city gates were destroyed, seventy-six houses were damaged, and the cumulative loss amounted to 3,100,000 taels of silver.
"When the people return to Bingxin City, let them build the city wall, soldiers, follow me back to the mansion to set up a celebration banquet, I will reward my meritorious deeds!" As he spoke, Nangu took a group of people and went in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
This victory was not only the timely support of the three major families, but also Fei Xuan's contribution, in addition, Zheng Jiliao shined in this battle, and in an instant, he gave the demons of the three and four mountains a head-on blow. By the time the people learned of the notice and rushed to the gate of Iceheart City, the sky had already dawned.
The City Lord's Mansion was already bustling here, although so many soldiers had been lost, but the number of the three major families plus the people of the Mansion was as high as more than 500 people! It was full of people inside and out, today was an unpeaceful day, but when all the people returned to Bingxin City to build the city wall, they didn't see Zheng Fang and Nan Xiao. This made Zheng Jiliao and Nangu anxious.
"Did you find it? The two living people are fine, why are they gone?" Nan Gu was restless in his heart, during the time when he was preparing for the banquet, the high-level combat power of Ice Heart City searched the entire city, whether it was the base camp of the three major families, or some barren mountains such as the back mountain, he was stunned and couldn't find it.
During this period, he asked people like Hong Mingtian and Zheng Shu who had a relationship with Zheng Flail Nanxiao, but what they learned from their mouths was that since the demon raid, they had been separated from Zheng Flai. After entering the cave, it was too dark inside, and I didn't see a single of them after that.
"It's impossible for two big living people to disappear like this! None of the demons have entered the cave! Not to mention that there are so many guards from the first and second mountains to protect them, and they have never heard of any spirit beasts in the cave, maybe they are greedy for fun, right?" Nangu had been comforting himself like this in his heart. He couldn't think of anything else.
"Go back, it's impossible for the City Lord's Mansion to be presided over by no one. We also have to prevent the demons from attacking again, but we can't do a big deal for these two melon babies!" Zheng Jiliao sighed, thinking that when his son came back, he must teach him a good lesson. Of course, whether he can come back or not is another matter.
In desperation, the two returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and they still had a clear distinction between the priorities of the matter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, due to the urgency of the situation, we have lost many of our comrades, but the oath we once made has long been imprinted on the hearts of each of us. Eradicating heresy is our greatest task and aspiration, and at the same time, it is also the most difficult and arduous. But this time, in the face of the attack of heresy, a few of them behaved exceptionally well!"
"If you are named below, please receive your medals and bounties in seven days! Sima Jia, Sima Feixuan, Hong Family, Hongbei, Zheng Jia, Zheng Jiliao, Zheng Haiwei, Zheng Yingming, and the City Lord's Mansion Southbound. But as soon as Nangu finished speaking, he heard a guard outside hurriedly running over to report the news......
