Chapter 1: The White Sky
A long, long time ago, the land of Erlan was barren and a sea of sand. In the center of the desert of Erlan Country, there is a water spring, which is called Lechuan Spring. The people who lived in the country of Erlan built a famous small city by the water, and this city is the city of Erlan.
The king of the city of Erlan said, "Although this city is in a wild land, it is a blessing for our people that it has its own clear spring. In the past, there was Loulan, and now there is Erlan!"
The city of Erlan is small in the desert, and its only source of water comes from a deep spring underground, which has a sweet taste and clear color. According to the older generation of the clan, the second spring is an ancient clear spring, which was once the lotus pond of Princess Lanlun. Later, Princess Lanlun died, and this section of the area became a crescent-shaped water spring after thousands of years of subsidence and movement.
Princess Lan Lun is a beautiful legend of the land of Erlan, she was born in the Crescent Moon Palace in the desert land. On the day of birth, a piece of red fish in the lotus pond outside the palace is a very spectacle.
When Princess Lanlun was twenty years old, she watched the fish by the lotus pond, and a fish in the pond talked to her: "Princess Lanlun, I am Mo Fan, the prince of the neighboring prince." A few years ago, she was sealed here by a spell by your female mage, and she said that only those who meet the blue blood can break this seal!"
"Blue blood?" Princess Lan Lun heard this, and immediately thought of herself. She is the only one in the country who has blue blood, but her father has never let anyone pass it on. Despite this, the fact that Princess Lan Lun has blue blood since birth has unknowingly spread secretly all over the alleys.
"Why should I save you?" asked Princess Lan Lun, looking at the red fish in the lotus pond. "How can I be sure you're a cursed prince?"
"You can ask a female mage named Huazi, who sealed me in this pool. Redfish told her.
So, Princess Lanlun turned back to the palace and ordered the maid Wanyi in the palace to check the female mage Huazi. There weren't many mages in Erlan City, and it didn't take long for the maid Wanyi to return. She told Princess Lan Lun that "the female mage Huazi has died, and there is only one granddaughter left in her family, Zorna. Shall I send someone to fetch her?"
"No, I haven't been out of town to play in a long time. You can take advantage of this to go out of the palace. Princess Lan Lun replied. "You go and get a carriage for me, and we'll go out together. ”
"It's the princess!" Wan Yi went to the palace and called a carriage, and quietly walked out of the palace with Princess Lanlun.
Princess Lan Lun rode out of the palace in a carriage, and after a long bump, the carriage stopped. Princess Lan Lun stepped out of the carriage and asked the maid, "Is this here?"
"It's the princess. ”
Princess Lan Lun got out of the carriage and saw that there was no house in front of her, but a huge tree hole. "Is this it?" she asked.
"It's here. The maid went up and knocked at the door. After a long time, a girl wearing a veil opened the wooden door. She looked at the two girls in front of her in a panic: "Who are you looking for?"
"Don't be afraid, we're looking for you. Princess Lan Lun walked straight into the mysterious treehouse, and as she walked, she said, "I'm curious why the mage lives in such a place. Are you the daughter of a mage?"
"No, I'm her granddaughter. The girl replied reluctantly, bowing her head.
"Oh!" Princess Lan Lun sat down when she saw an old wooden stool in the room and said, "I am the princess of my country, do you know about the red fish in the lotus pond of the palace?"
"Are you really a princess?" the little girl couldn't believe it.
"Yes!" Princess Lan Lun stretched out her right hand and showed the little girl a blue gem on her finger.
"Well, I believe it, only a real princess has a gem like this!" the little girl nodded and asked, "What are you looking for me?"
"I know from the mouth of a red fish that a man with blue blood can break the curse that your grandmother has placed on him!" asked the princess.
"Then you must have blue blood!" the little girl looked at the princess with a strange feeling. "But why are you princess?"
"Why is it me?" Princess Lan Lun also felt puzzled.
"You must know that you and him are already hostile in this life!" the little girl told Princess Lan Lun, "Do you know that there was another small city here before Erlan City, called Sand City. Because of the limited water supply in the desert, your father destroyed the sand city, and only one son was rescued by my grandmother and sealed in the lotus pond. She said to the little prince, "If one day you meet a man with blue blood, it will be the time when you will see the light of day again." But where in this world can there be such a strange man?" said the little girl, turning and walking to a little old cupboard, and taking out a parchment scroll from it, and giving it to the princess, "If you will save him, drop the blood of your thumb on this parchment, and he will immediately regain his human form." ”
"How can you be sure that I will save him?" asked Princess Lan Lun.
"This is what my grandmother entrusted me to give to the man with blue blood, it's up to you whether you can save it or not!" the little girl looked indifferent, as if she didn't care about it.
"Alright then, let me think about it. Princess Lan Lun got up and left the treehouse with her maid.
At this time, there was a prosperous market outside the treehouse, Wanyi had not been in the market for a long time, she pulled the princess and said, "Princess, let's go around here!"
"Yes," the princess nodded.
"What about the carriage?" Wan Yi looked at the carriage parked in front of the treehouse.
"Let him wait for us in the military palace Shacheng!" said the princess.
"Well, okay. After Wan Yi confessed to the coachman and the soldiers, she and the princess went into the streets of the city. It is the beginning of summer, but the sun in the sky is like a furnace constantly spitting out a rolling wave of heat to bake the earth. Wanyi walked with hot sweat on her forehead, and she glanced at the princess beside her, who looked peaceful and peaceful. She turned her head to look at Emily and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"It's so hot, I think I'm going to get heat stroke. Wan Yi looked at the sky. The sky is white, a little weird, a little strange. The people around were in a hurry, and the people who were bustling just now suddenly scattered like birds and beasts.
"What's the matter, where have all the people gone?" asked the princess, sitting in the pale daylight.
"I don't know, is there something going to happen here?" Wanyi also felt strange, and she said in a panic, "Will there be a sandstorm or something like that?"
"Wanyi, what should we do?
"Let's go, let's go around this street market and go to the Guli alley in front!" Wan Yi mustered up the courage to take the princess's hand.
"Okay!"
It's just strange that the sky above them is getting whiter and whiter, and the daylight emitted around them is also extremely dazzling.
"It's a strange weather!" said the princess to herself.
"Born in the desert, it should be normal to encounter such weather! The main reason is that we don't go out of the palace very often, the outside world is too monotonous, and we lack too much geographical knowledge. Wan Yi persuaded herself as she walked.
"Really?" the princess felt extremely lonely when she looked at the empty street market, and she was just thinking about buying some strange things in the street market, but now it is good that there is no one in sight, so she doesn't need to buy anything, and she just walks around the market.
