Volume 2 Nine Yao Linglong Chapter 65 The Secret of Life Experience
The old priest glanced at the two of them, and said in fluent Chinese, "What are the identities of the two of you? Why do you want to disrupt our god worship conference?Who instructed it?" Xiao Feng and the others glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but be surprised in their hearts. When Xiao Yunfan fought with him, he saw that his martial arts path originated from Middle Earth, and it was difficult to judge whether this priest was a Han or a servant. At the moment, he joked: "I can only speak bird language when I am your servant." It seems that Your Excellency's Chinese is quite good. ”
The high priest snorted coldly and said slowly: "The little guy has good kung fu, but your mouth will kill you sooner or later." He spoke in a cold tone, with a hint of murder. Xiao Yunfan made eye contact with him, and couldn't help but feel a sudden break in his heart, and said secretly: "Since he spared our lives, he naturally has a deep meaning. Otherwise, if he kills us with a sword, why do he have to do more? As for what other plans he had, it is difficult to figure out what other plans he had. ”
put away his disrespectfulness at the moment, and said: "Old man, we are Han, and we are uneven in Xialu, this is my cousin Feng Miaoqing." I accidentally broke into the nobles' sacrificial assembly, and when I saw that you were going to use those children as sacrifices, I was indignant and offended my dignity, and I begged for forgiveness. ”
When the old priest saw that he was honest with him, he asked, "Do you know why my servants use which children as sacrifices?" Xiao Feng and the others shook their heads. The old priest said coldly: "You Han people have a common enmity with our servants! Only by using the blood of the Han people can we wash away the suffering of our servants." ”
Xiao Yunfan had heard Feng Miaoqing talk about servants, and he was quite sympathetic to their suffering. But he objected to the servant using small children as sacrifices. At that moment, he said loudly: "There are bad people among the servants, and there are good people among the Han people." Besides, even if there are Han Chinese and servants who have made enemies, it is unreasonable for you to cut those children. ”
The old priest stood up, turned away, and after a while, turned back again. When he turned back again, the two looked at him as if they had seen a ghost, Feng Miaoqing trembled and screamed in fright, Xiao Yunfan's face changed, and he only felt that his scalp was numb.
It turned out that the old priest's whole face was alive except for the eyes, and the rest of the face was non-existent. There is a hole in the nose, and there is a hole in the mouth. He was like a devil coming out of hell.
On that strange face, a hoarse voice murmured, "Do you see my face? It's all thanks to you Han people." Thirteen years ago, on the night of our people, we gathered to celebrate the festival of the god of fire. Men, women and children all dressed up to attend, singing and dancing, so happy. Even the soldiers who usually defended the city were specially gifted with wine.
But just as we were cheering and celebrating, an arrow pierced the sky and burst open. Countless Ming troops broke through the gates of Jiusi City and poured in. Most of our warriors were drunk, and before they could hold their long-haired steel knives, they were shot bloody by the Ming army's feather arrows. The king gave an explanation to several important ministers, sent someone to fetch the armor, put it on immediately, and rushed out with three hundred warriors. Later, outnumbered, I heard that he was stabbed to death by the Ming army.
After the Ming army entered the city, they raised their steel knives and killed people when they saw them. When you see a jewel, grab it. Overnight, there were mountains of corpses in the Nine Silk City, and blood flowed like a river. Our home was burned to the ground. My wife and children all died tragically under the sword of the Ming army. Do you say that I should ask the Han people for this hatred?" he stretched out his thin finger and pointed at Xiao Yunfan, and even his voice changed later.
Xiao Yunfan was emotional when he saw him talking, his voice trembled, and he could imagine the atrocities committed by the Ming army back then, and he fell into contemplation at the moment. Feng Miaoqing had the courage to say loudly: "It was the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who killed you, what do you have to do with these innocent people of the Ming Dynasty? In the bloody case back then, most of those children were not born yet, how could this account be recorded on their heads?"
The old priest raised his head and laughed wildly: "Even if you are clever and skillful, you will not be able to wash away the sins committed by the Ming army back then. My servant is industrious and kind, and has lived in his own paradise for generations without worry. Under the blessing of the gods, the country is rich and the people are rich.
You Han people are ambitious, and your mouth is full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and the gift of a saint. In turn, they still covet our wealth, and send countless eagles and dogs to oppress our servants. If it is not soft, it is hard. In the battle of Jiusi City, how many compatriots did we die, it is cheap to let you die a few Han children to commemorate them, and the lives of Han dogs are worth a few dollars!"
Feng Miaoqing saw that he regarded human life as a mustard, and he didn't know where he got the courage, so he protested loudly: "How can human life be judged by money?
The priest was stunned at first, and then he was furious, stretched out his hand to choke Feng Miaoqing's throat, and shouted: "The yellow-haired girl who has not dried up dares to be presumptuous in front of the old man! What kind of Han people are the same as the lives of servants, the lives of Han people, like animals and ants, grass mustard, only the lives of servants." Feng Miaoqing only felt a sharp pain in her neck, difficulty breathing, and her pretty face turned red.
Xiao Yunfan hurriedly said: "The old-timers are also famous figures, and they are not afraid of losing their identity for a junior." The priest glanced at Xiao Yunfan and said, "Hmph! Those bullshit rules of your Han people, the old man doesn't pay attention to them." ”
Xiao Yunfan said again: "The old-timers learned martial arts from the Han people, and now they are killing the Han people, I am afraid that it will go against the wishes of the predecessors' teachers!" The priest's tone was cold, and he said in an astringent voice: "I learned martial arts from the Han people, but the Han people are just greedy for the treasures in my hands."
It's just a deal between me and him, and there's no mentoring relationship. He has never bound me according to the rules of the Han people. You want to save this girl's life, don't I know? How can the old man fall for you?"
Xiao Yunfan gave him a glimpse of his ingenuity, and his eyes rolled and said: "I see that the old-timers are excellent in martial arts, and I admire them very much, if the old-timers are willing to let go of their cousins, the younger generations are willing to exchange their lives for it." ”
The priest shook his head and said, "Your life is in my hands, and her life is in my hands." You exchange your life for her life, which is tantamount to the old man's money to buy the old man's goods, you Han people have so many fancy intestines, and the old man is a fool. ”
As he spoke, his right hand let go of Feng Miaoqing's neck, Xiao Yunfan wanted to thank him, he walked behind Xiao Yunfan, suddenly raised his left palm, and cut at the back of Xiao Yunfan's neck with a move, Xiao Yunfan was dizzy and fell forward.
Seeing this, Feng Miaoqing was shocked and frightened and said, "You...... You old monster, why did you kill him?" he could finish his words, and then his eyes flashed, and he lost consciousness. I don't know how long it took, but she slowly opened her eyes, and the stalactites above her head were adorned with beaded lamps. She was lying on a large soft bed, and beside the bed stood two handsome maiden girls. Seeing that she was about to get up, one of them smiled and said, "Holy Maiden, you are awake." ”
Feng Miaoqing stretched out her hand and pressed her temples, looked at her and asked suspiciously, "What did you just call me?" The maid put her hands on her chest, wanted her to salute, and then said, "Holy Maiden." Feng Miaoqing was surprised: "When did I become your saintess?Where is this, where has that old monster gone?" The maid saw her asking like a cannon, but without answering, she leaned down and picked up a pair of boots and prepared them for her to put on.
Feng Miaoqing saw that the girl was not very old, so she said: "Little sister, you were also captured by this old monster?" The girl said: "This is where the gods live, where did the monster come from?" Feng Miaoqing was full of doubts, sat up and walked around the room.
This stone room is elegantly furnished, with four screens of plum, bamboo, orchid and chrysanthemum hanging on the east stone wall, and a few plum blossoms inserted in a pot-bellied porcelain vase under the screen. Rays of golden sunlight leaked from the diamond-shaped panes on the west wall, hitting the ground.
When she turned around, she saw a one-man tall bronze mirror. She slowly walked into the bronze mirror, only to see the girl in the mirror, with a cinnabar mark in the middle of her forehead, pearls hanging in her ears, wearing a long gown with blue cloth and black edges, and the neckline and cuffs were embroidered with gorgeous patterns. There are three beautifully carved silver collars hanging on the chest, five-colored silk silk tied around the waist, and a palm-sized bag with pearls on the diagonal span, which is very dazzling.
Feng Miaoqing looked at the girl in the mirror and thought to herself, "Is this me? I wasn't killed by that old monster." The two maids behind her saw Feng Miaoqing's puzzled expression, and they both looked at the person in the mirror with a smile. A young girl said: "The holy woman doesn't need to take a photo, you have a thousand faces, and among our daughters of the Yu clan, you are the first." The high priest has instructed you to wait until you wake up, eat something, and then go to him. ”
Feng Miaoqing said in her heart: "Even if you two don't say it, I will go to see him." At that moment, he picked up the old lady's shelf and said, "I won't eat it, you two will lead the way." The maid said, "Please don't be us." If you don't eat, the high priest will hold you accountable, and we can't afford to eat. As she spoke, her voice trembled slightly, clearly terrified.
Feng Miaoqing was concerned about Xiao Yunfan's safety, so she patiently walked to the table and sat down. After two or three bites, he put the spoon on it and said, "Okay, I'm full." Now it's time to take me to the High Priest. The two maids were helpless, one of them cleaned up the plate, and the other led the way.
There are many forks in the cave, and each fork is guarded by guards. Led by the maid, the two of them came unhindered to a large cave.
In front of the cave stood two fierce men, and they saw the maid coming. At the end of the kneeling ceremony, the maid said a few words to the two of them in the maid language. A big man reached out and grabbed a copper ring embedded in the stone wall behind him, and the stone door in front of the cave clicked for a while before slowly rising.
Feng Miaoqing followed closely behind the maid and walked into the cave. The cave is very spacious and has plenty of light. The priest stood at a stone table with a bronze ghost mask. On the table are all kinds of children's windmills and puppets.
He saw that Feng Miaoqing was dressed like a servant, and said to the maid, "Well done, Aguilie." It's none of your business here, you go down. The implication is quite approving.
When the maid saw her master's signal, she slowly walked towards the outside of the cave. Seeing Feng Miaoqing's hands behind his back, the priest said happily: "Aleqiu, come to Grandpa." Feng Miaoqing put on a straight face and said: "Old monster, you are probably mistaken, this girl's name is Feng Miaoqing, but she is not the Aleqiu in your mouth." ”
