Chapter 191: High Priest
When he first stepped into Yunmengzhou, Yang Xiaotian didn't feel anything special, and when they came to the central area of Yunmengzhou, Yang Xiaotian believed that Su Shu didn't lie to himself, the scenery here was indeed beautiful, and it was not impossible to say that the people who came here were reluctant to go back, because now he himself had the idea of wanting to stay here for a long time.
Su Shu took Yang Xiaotian and Tuoba Meng to an ancient castle, and the people in the ancient castle had already discovered the three of them and were already waiting for them at the gate of the ancient castle.
A girl with a fresh and cute smiling face walked down the steps and greeted Su Shu, with a happy smile on her face, "My eldest lady, you're finally back!"
Su Shu took the girl's hand and said, "Summer, where's grandma?"
The girl named Summer said, "The old lady is waiting for you in the hall!"
When Su Shu heard this, he hurriedly shook off his little hand in the summer, ran towards the gate of the ancient castle, and suddenly ran back again, pulling Yang Xiaotian to run towards the ancient castle together.
Tuoba suddenly saw that Su Shu didn't call himself, and was stunned for a moment, but in addition to secretly complaining that the same people were not the same life, he didn't dare to show too much emotion, just cast his eyes at Summer, and asked if he could go with him, seeing that Summer nodded, then he smiled, and followed with the wind, but he immediately realized that he had just arrived, so it seemed that something was not quite inside, so he straightened his clothes, coughed lightly, and walked forward calmly.
All this fell in Summer's eyes, and Summer secretly laughed, this boy is too pretentious.
When Tuoba Meng walked into the castle hall, he saw Su Shu squatting in front of the lap of the old woman, and Yang Xiaotian and Su Shu were two steps away, standing there quietly, Tuoba Meng tried not to make a sound, and slowly approached there, but still found that the old woman's eyes glanced at him, Tuoba Meng sighed in his heart, this is the Longtan Tiger's Den, it is not good to say that one does not pay attention, there is no return there, and hurriedly bowed to the old woman.
The old woman smiled, didn't say anything, and continued to lower her head and look at Su Shu in front of her lovingly, listening to her talk about what happened to her outing.
Yang Xiaotian was not as nervous as Tuoba Meng, and when Su Shu was talking to the old woman, his eyes looked at the old man from time to time.
The old lady is already very old, her face is full of deep wrinkles, each wrinkle is engraved with the traces of time, at this time her face is full of kindness and kindness, listening to Su Shu talk about the thrilling place, there is a cold flash in her eyes, and the undisguised murderous intent revealed in her eyes makes Yang Xiaotian deeply feel that this old woman is not simple.
After about a quarter of an hour, Su Shu finally finished talking about all the encounters outside.
The old woman nodded, smiled and stroked Prime Numbers' hair, and said lovingly, "Well, no one will be able to bully you when you come back." ”
After speaking, the old woman looked at Yang Xiaotian, stood up, and said, "Young man, you saved Su Shu, thank you." ”
Yang Xiaotian smiled and said: "Mother-in-law is serious, I just took Su Shu back by the way." ”
The old woman said, "Then what about helping Su Shu kill the Wu Clan?"
Yang Xiaotian sneered, "It's just a gesture." ”
The old woman smiled and said, "Anyway, thank you, you guys will stay here first, and I will ask Su Shu to accompany you around for the past few days." ”
When the old woman finished speaking, she yawned, as if she had no energy.
Yang Xiaotian said: "Mother-in-law is sleepy, then you go and rest, don't worry about us." ”
The old woman smiled at him and said, "It's fine." Then he got up and left.
Su Shu wanted to help her, but was persuaded by her, "Su Shu, you are here to accompany your friends, let the summer arrange it and let your friends stay." ”
"Yes, Grandma. ”
"By the way, my surname is Ming, so you can call me Mama Ming. ”
"Yes, Mama Ming. ”
The old woman finally left.
Seeing his grandmother walking away, Su Shucai said, "Brother Yang, I'll take you out for a walk." ”
Mama Ming didn't really leave, she saw Su Shu take Yang Xiaotian and Tuoba Meng out, and walked out of it with the support of a middle-aged woman, followed by three people, one of whom was a thin old man, with a lifeless face and cloudy eyes that seemed to have seen through everything, only occasionally showed some expressions in his eyes, and he was full of wisdom. The other person was a middle-aged man, with deep-set eyes and a nose like a mountain, looking majestic.
These people came to the hall and sat down, and the old woman said, "Although you didn't come out just now, I believe what Shu Yatou said, you all heard it." When he saw that all three of them nodded, he asked, "What do you think?"
The thin old man said, "I don't know what Madame is referring to?"
Mama Ming smiled and said, "What do you think of that young man?"
The thin old man thought for a while before he said, "It's not simple. ”
The middle-aged woman said, "Madam, two young men, which one are you talking about?"
Mama Ming said, "You know which one I'm talking about. ”
The middle-aged woman said, "Just like Mr. Chu said, I don't think it's simple. ”
The majestic man snorted coldly: "Where can it be a simple young man who can make Wen Zu favor, we have sent people to the wordless jade wall secretly for so many years, thinking that if we can get the inheritance of Wen Zu, which time can we succeed? The implication is a little hard to accept.
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Li Hao, what do you want to do?"
The middle-aged Li Hao was about to say something, when he found the old woman glaring at him, and hurriedly closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Mama Ming took a sip of tea before saying, "Actually, what about that young man, I will judge for myself, and let you come out to discuss the affairs of the Wu Clan." ”
When the three thin old men heard this, they hurriedly sat upright, looked at Mama Ming, and waited for her to continue.
"It's time to come. The old woman sighed, "I just didn't expect them to be so brutal and kill people directly." It seems that after so many years, they have not had a good time. ”
The thin old man sighed: "Whoever has lived in darkness for thousands of years will also hold back a breath of anger, and it is good for them to kill us in a big way." ”
Li Hao shouted: "You say so, do you mean that they are justified in killing people?"
The thin old man retorted, "I didn't mean that, but it was always us who took someone else's stuff. You say, don't you, Miaoyue?"
The middle-aged woman said: "That's what they say, but that's also their own doing, they can't see the situation clearly, they take the blame for themselves, and they can't blame others." ”
Li Hao said: "In short, I think this matter has been overdone by the Wu clan, how can we get justice for Miss Shu." ”
"You mean you're going to war with the Wu Clan?" asked Miaoyue.
Li Hao snorted coldly, "If you start a war, you will start a war, are you still afraid that he will not succeed in the Wu Clan!"
The thin old man said: "In this way, the agreement that the predecessors have worked so hard to sign will be invalidated. ”
Li Hao shouted: "That is also the first violation of their Wu clan. ”
Mama Ming had been quietly listening to the quarrel between her three most powerful subordinates, and only then did she say: "Miaoyue, if you make an appointment with Gou Qiang, you will say that I want to talk to him." ”
Miao Yue said: "Madam, this is not very good!"
Mama Ming said: "Then you say see what other ways you have, do you want to let things develop like this." I and you, while there is still room for redemption, let's sit down and have a good talk, don't wait until things get out of control and then think of a way, then it will be useless. ”
"Yes. Miao Yue replied.
Li Hao said: "Madam, we all know what the Wu clan thinks, it is nothing more than asking us to return the Peach Wood Scepter and the Fire God Whip. Madame, are you going to promise them?"
"Impossible!" Mama Ming's tone was tough, "The Wu clan is trying every means to retrieve the artifact, wolf ambition, you don't know, don't I know, if they let them get the artifact, then they will have it." ”
The thin old man frowned, "Madam doesn't agree to return the artifact, then whether you sit down and negotiate or not, it's the same result, why bother." ”
Ming Mama smiled: "The Wu clan didn't know that the Peachwood Scepter and the Vulcan Whip were in our hands, that time, the Vulcan Whip was accidentally lost, Gou Qiang He knew, but he didn't know that I found the Vulcan Whip again." ”
The thin old man's eyes lit up, "Madame means that if Gou Qiang wants us to return the artifact, we will give him the peachwood scepter?"
Mama Ming nodded, "No more!"
Miao Yue also smiled and said, "That's right, even if the Wu Clan finds all the artifacts, but without the Vulcan Whip, it is useless." ”
"That's the truth!" Mama Ming flashed a smile, "This matter is so decided, Miaoyue, make an appointment to meet Gou Qiang in Hongyun Valley on the fifteenth of next month." ”
"By the way, there's one more big thing. Mama Ming said.
Miao Yue asked, "Madam, what's the big deal?"
Mama Ming's expression was a little solemn, and she said: "Three days later, the moon will appear, you can see how Su Shu is in the past two days, if you are not ready, then you will have to wait until the next one, we have not had a high priest for a long time, and it is not a way to go on like this." To be honest, I really hope that Su Shu can succeed, she is a more suitable candidate than the previous ones. ”
Miao Yue nodded solemnly, "Yes, madam." ”
Mama Ming laughed.
Miao Yue was puzzled and asked, "Madam, what are you laughing at?"
Ming Mama said: "Actually, my worries are superfluous, Su Shu is like a chosen person, and he understands the mystery of everything very quickly, and this time when I came back, I found that there was progress again, and it must be the credit of the wordless jade wall, she herself just said that not only the young man got the inheritance of the ancestor, but she also wrote down the words on the jade bi. ”
"Li Hao!" Mama Ming looked at the middle-aged man.
"What's the matter, ma'am?"
Mama Ming said: "In this way, we have also obtained the inheritance of Wenzu, so you don't have to mind." ”
"Yes, ma'am. ”
"I originally intended to let Shu Yatou go out and have a good time, and when she comes back, she will shoulder the heavy responsibility, but I didn't expect to get this benefit, I really can't imagine it. The old woman laughed.
Five or six miles east of the castle is a sea.
In the sun, several seabirds were shuttling on the surface of the sea, and the sea breeze swept the sea water against the rocks on the seashore, smashing a large snowflake foam.
Three young men and women stood side by side on a huge rock by the sea.
Tuoba Meng's face was excited, "Yunmengzhou really lives up to its reputation, everything is much better than the outside, you see, the seabird seems to be much happier than the outside." ”
Yang Xiaotian smiled, this makes no sense, Yunmengzhou is indeed more beautiful than the outside, but it is not as exaggerated as he said. Yang Xiaotian just felt that the spiritual power here was stronger than that of the outside world, but it was true.
Su Shu smiled: "Then you stay, don't go." ”
Yang Xiaotian smiled and said: "This is not bad, but let others know, and I want to say that Yunmengzhou is a place where there is no return, you see, Tuoba Meng of Chongwu Academy disappeared when he went to Yunmengzhou." ”
Tuoba Meng sneered, "Why not Yang Xiaotian from Tianguan Mountain?"
Yang Xiaotian smiled, "Because I didn't plan to stay." ”
The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, Su Shu was a little lost, and only said after a while: "Brother Yang, when are you going to leave?"
"Or tomorrow!" Yang Xiaotian said, "Send you back, and what I promised you will be done." There's still a lot of work to do outside, and I can't afford to delay. ”
Su Shu looked depressed and said, "Brother Yang, do you want to stay a few more days?"
"Why?" Yang Xiaotian was a little strange, he was going to leave anyway, and staying for a few more days would be the same result.
Su Shu said: "Brother Yang, since I was a child, my grandmother didn't let me leave the castle for half a step, do you know why she agreed to let me go out this time?"
Yang Xiaotian didn't understand why Mama Ming wouldn't let her leave the castle, and shook her head.
Tuoba Meng said distressedly: "Then you are not very miserable!"
"yes, it's miserable. Su Shu sighed, "But it's okay, the people in the fort are very kind to me." ”
"Brother Yang, in fact, in three days, I will take over the position of the high priest of Yunmengzhou, and I will be tied to Yunmengzhou in the future, and I can't be separated anymore, and I can't leave Yunmengzhou again. That's why my grandmother agreed to let me go out this time, because after I came back, I would never have a chance to go out again. ”
So that's the case, although Yang Xiaotian is a little sad, this is always someone else's custom, and he can't control a lot.
"Do you want me to attend your inauguration ceremony?" Yang Xiaotian asked.
Su Shu looked at Yang Xiaotian pitifully, "Is it okay?"
Yang Xiaotian smiled, "Of course you can, if you had told me earlier, I would have promised you a long time ago." ”
Su Shu also smiled, remembering that when he first met him, he thought he was dead, and it was this person who did everything possible to make himself believe that he was still alive, and he felt funny when he thought about it, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Yang Xiaotian was a little strange, "Su Shu, what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, I'm happy. ”
Tuoba Meng asked, "Su Shu, what are you talking about the high priest?"
Yang Xiaotian was also a little curious and wanted to hear what Su Shu had to say.
Su Shu just smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing, in their opinion, the high priest is supreme, but in my opinion, sitting in that position is equivalent to being trapped in a cage, nothing remarkable." ”
Tuoba Meng still wanted to ask, but Yang Xiaotian saw that Su Shu's mood was not very good, so he hurriedly said: "Su Shu, you said that the people outside came to Yunmengzhou and didn't go far away, so where did these people go?"
Tuoba Meng also said, "Yes, what about those people?"
Su Shu smiled slightly, "I know that if I don't make this matter clear to you, you won't believe it." ”
"Those people all went to Red Cloud Valley. Su Shu turned and raised his hand to a valley behind her.
"Red Cloud Valley?
Su Shu said: "I can't say clearly, I'll take you to see it for yourself." ”
After saying that, he led the way in front.
Red Cloud Valley, it didn't seem to be very far, but it still took a lot of time to walk, and by the time they reached the valley, the sun was about to set, and the red glow reflected the whole valley in poignant.
"This is Red Cloud Valley. ”
Yang Xiaotian nodded, but he was wondering in his heart, there was nothing unusual about this Red Cloud Valley, why didn't people leave when they came?
"Su Shu, I don't think this Red Cloud Valley is as magical as you say, and I can't see any magic that makes people reluctant to leave!"
"Don't talk about it so early, and then take a look inside. Su Shu was mysterious, and after speaking, he walked to the deep valley.
The further you go, the more empty the valley becomes, and there are many stone monuments in the valley, some high and some low, some large and some small, the small ones are only two feet high and one foot wide, and the big ones are two or three feet high and three feet wide.
There are hundreds of stone monuments like this in front of you, not to mention the ones in front of you that you can't see clearly.
Seeing Su Shu looking at the steles, with a smiling expression, Yang Xiaotian understood that these steles were probably staying with people.
It's just that these steles really have that much magic?
Yang Xiaotian didn't wait for Su Shu to speak, and walked to the nearest stone stele.
The stele is about one zhang high, two feet wide, and the stele is engraved with strings of words in regular script.
Yang Xiaotian saw that the top three words seemed to be much larger, which were the three words "Ice Mantra", while the text below was much smaller, densely packed, and there were some annotations.
Yang Xiaotian didn't look closely, and walked to the other stone tablet, this time it was the "Wind and Thunder Technique", and there were still dense annotations behind it.
Along the way, the "Heavenly Demon Spell", "Blood Devouring Dafa", and "Fingertip Sun and Moon" are all some spells.
Yang Xiaotian finally understood that it was not these stone tablets that kept people, but these spells on the stone tablets, although he didn't look closely, he also found that these spells had their own magic, no wonder those people refused to leave when they came.
Yang Xiaotian walked back and was about to speak, but found Tuoba Meng standing in front of a stone tablet.
"Tuoba Meng!"
Yang Xiaotian called, but found that he was so intoxicated that he didn't seem to hear his own words.
Su Shu smiled and said: "Brother Yang, look, now you believe it, as long as you come here, you can't drive them away even if you want to." ”
Yang Xiaotian shook his head, "No, you see that I am not fascinated." ”
"That's you, you've already cultivated so much that you're not fascinated, but it's different if you change someone else. ”
Yang Xiaotian thought to himself, what he said also made sense.
