Chapter 19: The Pope
On the West Gate Street of the Ming Ying Mansion, in front of a magnificent mansion. The two stone lions opened their teeth and danced their claws, and their expressions were mighty. The plaque on the top of the door reads "Spirit Clan's Mansion" in three large gold lacquer characters. At the entrance, there are two rows of benches, and there are eight men who have finished their strong suits, all of whom have straight waists, showing a heroic and unapproachable atmosphere.
The first day of competition is over, and the next round will start two days later. Wen Xuan helped Dan Ling'er to the Spirit Clan's Mansion, and when Wen Xuan saw such a magnificent building for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
The eight men stood up together when they saw Dan Ling'er and Wen Xuan coming over, and rushed out of the door. A man said, "Young Miss, are you injured?" come, I'll carry you." As he spoke, he shook his hand and shouted to the seven men beside him: "Go quickly, please ask Mr. Yiming to come and see the young lady's injury." ”
Dan Ling'er looked at her slave, and hurriedly waved her hand in such a surprise move: "Uncle Chen, thank you, I'm fine, but I was slightly injured during today's game." The doctor in the school has already helped me see it, and at this time I have recovered a lot, and I will be fine for a few more days, and I don't need to mobilize the people to invite Mr. Yiming, Mr. Yiming is in the palace, and I have to treat the people in the palace. ”
The man named Uncle Chen heard Dan Ling'er's answer and saw that Dan Ling'er's injury was not too serious, so he said, "Miss, you really have nothing to do, come on, come, I'll carry you in to rest first." ”
As he spoke, he was about to crouch down.
Dan Ling'er pointed at Wen Xuan and hurriedly said, "Uncle Chen, please get up, my friend can help me in here." ”
Uncle Chen looked at Wen Xuan up and down, and saw that Wen Xuan was as big as Dan Ling'er, with a delicate face, and an honest face, he looked like a child who had never seen much of the world, but in order to confirm Wen Xuan's identity, Uncle Chen still asked Dan Ling'er: "Who is this?"
Dan Ling'er replied with a smile: "Uncle Chen, this is my classmate and my friend. ”
Hearing that it was Dan Ling'er's friend, Uncle Chen smiled at Wen Xuan: "I'm tired, come and invite in." ”
Wen Xuan supported Dan Ling'er and approached the Spirit Clan's Mansion, only to see five steps to the first floor of the mansion and ten steps to one pavilion. Facing the main hall, the corridor waist is back. Approaching the main hall, a faint sandalwood fragrance filled the side, and specks of sunlight shone in the hollow carved windows. The four corners of the room are white marble pillars, the walls around are all carved from white stone bricks, orchids carved from gold bloom charmingly between the white stones, and blue curtains ripple with the wind. Amber wine, jasper, golden foot bottle, jade plate, food is picturesque, wine is like a spring, the guqin is rippling, and the bell is dingdong. The main hall is decorated with inverted bell-like flowers, the calyxes are white, the bone china is translucent, and the top of the petals is a circle of different shades of lilac, which seems to be dyed naturally. Wen Xuan pretended to be calm, and two words kept coming to his mind: luxury.
Approaching Dan Ling'er's bedroom, Wen Xuan saw a portrait of an old man wearing a robe and a monk's hat when he entered the room and looked at the wall. There is a couplet on both sides of the portrait: "Thousands of years of ancestor rain and sect style to recreate heroes, may Er Xiu scales and claws not forget Kou Ziman Xiping." There is a mirror set on the shore of the table, a little vermilion. The couch reclines against the right wall.
Wen Xuan helped Dan Ling'er to lie on the bed, and Dan Ling'er waved her hand towards Uncle Chen: "Thank you, Uncle Chen, I want to be alone with Wen Xuan for a while." Uncle Chen hurriedly said: "Okay, Miss, you have to pay attention to rest, I won't bother you, if the young man needs anything within the melon fruit, just go out and tell me." With that, he walked out and slowly closed the door.
At this time, Ling'er held Wen Xuan's hand and said, "Are you tired of Wen Xuan sending me home?" Wen Xuan walked closer to the Lingzhu Mansion and saw such a luxurious palace, and his heart was unconsciously nervous. At this time, he was alone with Dan Ling'er, and he saw the mural on the wall, the old man holding beads in his hand, and his face was lifelike, which fascinated him. I didn't notice Dan Ling'er's voice for a while, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Ling... How could Ling'er be tired? I won't be tired at all with you, I really want to be with you every moment of every day. It's just that I didn't expect your house to be so big and luxurious. Ling'er smiled shyly when she heard Wen Xuan's answer. Wen Xuan looked at the mural on the wall and felt strange, so he asked Dan Ling'er: "Ling'er, why did you hang this portrait in the bedroom, isn't it mad to wake up in the middle of the night and see this lifelike portrait?"
Dan Ling'er was amused by Wen Xuan's words and laughed out loud for a while: "Haha, fool." The portrait depicts the Pope of our Spirit Race. He is the object of all of us, and almost every spirit family will have his portrait enshrined. How could he be frightened if he were our gods? ”
Wen Xuan touched his head, and his face turned red and smirked: "Ling'er is my lonely and unheard, what is the bead in the Pope's hand?"
Dan Ling'er looked at the smirking Wen Xuan and felt extremely cute, and said: "Legend has it that a thousand years ago, our Spirit Clan lived on the Xiping Plateau all the year round, where the environment was harsh, and although there was occasional friction between tribes, they could also help each other, and the people of the Spirit Clan could still live even though they had a hard time. But as time went on, one tribe grew stronger, and he wanted to annex other tribes, but was met with resistance from other tribes, so several forces began to raise troops to fight.
The war lasted for several years, and one day in the north of Xiping appeared a group of living dead with ugly faces and actions like cockroaches, and this group of living dead took advantage of the situation and were invincible. At this time, Xiping, which had been in the civil war for several years, was even more troubled internally and externally, and the tribes wanted to stop fighting together against foreign enemies, but they had no vitality.
All the people of the Spirit Race lived in hell on earth during that time, and the population was greatly reduced. At this time, a man came to Xiping from a foreign land and said to the leaders of various tribes that if you want to deal with foreign enemies, you need spirit beads, and you need to find thousands of people with strong martial arts to use up their life's internal strength to build, and you can defeat foreign enemies.
Several tribal leaders listened to the words of this exotic Taoist, and reunited to make the spirit bead together, and finally the spirit bead was successfully made, and they joined forces to destroy the foreign enemy. An armistice was also reached between tribes, and Xiping returned to its former peace and tranquility, and the foreign man gave Xiping a second treasure at this time..... Culture. Exotic men brought musical instruments, costumes, and cultural books to the spirits from the exotic land. Later, this exotic Taoist was admired by the spirit clan and became the pope, and the beads that glow in his hands in the portrait are spirit beads. ”
Wen Xuan was fascinated by what he heard, and said, "Ling'er, is there really such a thing as a spirit bead?"
Dan Ling'er smiled: "Actually, I don't know about this, but my father told me that there are no spirit beads in the world at all, and these are just legends of future generations." This story has been passed down from generation to generation by our spirit race, in fact, it is to tell future generations that the real spirit bead is actually the unity between the people of the tribe and the culture of our spirit race brought by the pope. ”
Daddy said that the two couplets on the wall were actually telling the people not to forget the pain of the past. Keep training, keep learning, keep being united. ”
Wen Xuan saw what Dan Ling'er said, and a sense of admiration arose, and he smirked: "Ling'er, you know so much, I am simply too ignorant compared to you."
Dan Ling'er looked at Wen Xuan, who was a little lost on his face, stretched out his hand and smiled, and said, "Wen Xuan, I want that" Wen Xuan was stunned for a moment and didn't react and said: "Ah, Ling'er, what is it?" Dan Ling'er pursed her lips and blushed and said, "That's it" Wen Xuan reacted at this time and grinned, and slowly put his mouth up. After the first kiss, both seemed to be addicted to the feeling. The two of them involuntarily kissed each other from time to time in a place where no one was.
When the lips of the two were about to collide, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the bedroom door, and a man was walking towards the bedroom and shouted: "Ling'er, Daddy, come to see your injury" Wen Xuan heard this voice, Wen Xuan quickly retracted his head and made it straight, Dan Ling'er was also full of red face and fluttering.
