Chapter 779: Staying at a farmhouse
Flat desert desert, sunset. At the foot of the loess ravine, the caves are sparsely scattered.
In a certain compound, Si Quan is lighting a lamp in the guest room and writing a letter.
Following the footprints left by the travelers, the three of them walked out of the Gobi, stayed at the local people's homes, and asked the time of Kyushu, and the boulder in Si Quan's heart was finally put down.
- Now, it's only been a month since the start of the Blood Moon.
If what he saw in the dream was true, it would take two months for the Blood Spirit Clan to break through the seal.
"Can this woodbird fly?"
Zhilu sat next to the man and studied the Wood Bird Shoxin's suspicion because the man told her that this thing was used to deliver messages.
"Come, I'll teach you!"
Si Quan put the thumb-sized box on the table into Zhilu's hand: "This is called the Xuanji box, each box has its own number, you inject internal force into it!"
Zhilu said in surprise: "There is something in it!"
"Take it out with internal force!"
This time Zhilu was even more surprised, the small thing in the box was taken out, and it turned into a palm-sized in the wind, and it was a wooden bird again.
"Look, there is a string of numbers here on the neck of the wooden bird, hold one, turn the head to change it, adjust it to the same as the box number, no matter how far it goes, it can fly away. ”
"How is that possible?"
"This is our family's way of communication, learn this box is yours!"
Zhilu was overjoyed and immediately grabbed the wooden bird and pounded it.
Outside the house, Chunxue gave the master's house a heart. This is the hospitable family of ordinary slave masters, who not only stayed with Si Quan and others, but also slaughtered chickens and sheep for a good life.
"Girl, take a little bit!"
It turned out that Chunxue was just carrying a lantern for them, but when she heard a young man on the other side call herself that, she was immediately unhappy.
"I'm over 140 years old, are you sure you want to call me a girl?"
The young man was stunned and looked up in disbelief. The other two men smiled and said, "Don't mind, sister, this is our local name, and the young master has no other meaning." ”
Soon the young man reacted: "The eldest sister is really joking, I haven't heard of anyone living to be one hundred and forty years old." ”
"That's you Terran!"
"Isn't the girl human?"
The young man said casually, and the two men laughed, Chunxue didn't know why, and said honestly: "I am a Phantom Clan, and at most I am a close relative of the Human Race." ”
"Phantoms?"
The young man was stunned, put down the bloody mutton, washed his hands and said: "I haven't heard of it, but it does look a little different from the human race, and it is the first time I have seen such a wide and fat woman, and her complexion is still so healthy!"
"Hehe, if you want to see the fairy's words, I'll let her disperse the fog veil for you later, you have to stand firm in advance. ”
The girl laughed, people are married women, no matter how beautiful they are, they are disrespectful. ”
"How do you know I'm not a married woman?"
The young man asked rhetorically: "How can a married woman be as informal as you?" ”
"Is there a problem with our Phantom customs?"
"Of course there is a problem, the so-called: being a wife, not suspicious! Gossip is hard to prevent, if the girl is married, it is better to be less close to other men!"
Chun Xue's heart trembled, it seemed that someone had told her this, it seemed that Kyushu really cared about this, so she couldn't help but be curious and handed the lantern to the woman on the side.
"Avoid suspicion, I know, then you guys are doing your own thing!"
"Oh yes, the girl is gone, it's a pity, what a good body to raise, someone is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot!"
The woman took the lantern and laughed, a smile flashed in the young man's eyes, and she retorted: "I can't serve any of you, how dare you marry more!"
"People are just the daughters of domestic slaves, how dare they say no to the young master?"
At this time, someone took over: "The house slave is good, the dowry is waived!"
Not far away, Si Quan, who witnessed everything, was very puzzled: "It's really strange, the master and the house slave are so harmonious, it's really different from what I thought." ”
"This is just an ordinary slave owner's family, the more wealthy the family, the more strict the hierarchy. ”
Zhilu played with the wooden bird and replied, she knew a lot about the situation in the northwest area, and the young master's marriage to a house slave only existed in the lowest slave master's family.
As the two spoke, Chunxue walked in, sat down at the table and took a sip of tea. Suddenly thinking of something, he looked up and asked Si Quan, "Can I come in?"
"You have long legs, and I didn't stop you!"
"You have too many rules in Kyushu, I'm afraid people will misunderstand!"
Zhilu chuckled: "Don't think too much, the customs are different in Kyushu, just be yourself." Besides, I'm here, and you're not alone!"
- Si Quan is speechless, and I really want to tell the other party that you are the kind of alternative who will not be suspected if you are alone with a man.
"You guys are good, like glue like wings and branches, but poor my Chang doesn't know where he is, and I don't know if I'm injured or not, and whether I will be entangled by other women. ”
Si Quan smiled secretly and comforted angrily: "I asked, in the barren mountains and mountains here, it is rare to see an outsider in a year and a half." You can't find this place even if you're safe. Tomorrow you borrow a camel for your master's family to go into the city, and it may be easier to find him. ”
Pure snow color changed: "It's just me going alone?"
"Or else?"
"What do you mean! I'm just an acquaintance of you in the whole Kyushu now, and you don't help me?"
"I'm not familiar with this place either, I'll arrange someone to help you. My home is still thousands of miles away, and it will be unlucky not to go back after coming out for so long!"
Thinking of Chunxue's first time in Kyushu and her unfamiliar life, Zhilu softened: "Lord, if you go back first, I'll stay with her." ”
Si Quan pondered: Now the life and death of the demon dragon are uncertain, if he is alive, he must not lead to Chishui, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Anyway, when I go back to Chishui, I have to go into the city for a transit, find Ling Huchang, and confirm that the demon dragon is dead before going back.
"I'm kidding you, I'm not willing to throw two beauties in this wild place. ”
"Huh! That's pretty much it!"
Chunxue took a big sigh of relief, and suddenly felt embarrassed again. As early as when they were in the Yunzhong Prefecture Mirandhi Mansion, the two of them were alone after they were drunk, and in the secret realm of Yunfeng, they even risked their lives to fulfill her and Ling Huchang. Now not only does he live up to his feelings, but also affects him, and a feeling of guilt arises spontaneously!
- If Si Quan knows a woman's mind, he will definitely shout at the girl, you think too much!
"The place we're going to tomorrow is called Bancheng, Zhilu, how much do you know about it?"
"I haven't heard of it, I only know the most important cities in Liangzhou. ”
Junxue suddenly interjected: "Which one is the biggest?"
"Sand City!"
"Then go to Shacheng, I know Chang, and he understands me, so I'm sure he will go to Shacheng to find me!"
"Look where the crowds are most populated, you're weird!"
Si Quan joked casually, Zhilu smiled in catering, and then provided the two with information about Shacheng.
————
Shacheng, the well-deserved largest city in Liangzhou, is an important city for the exchange of foreign lands in the West and Kyushu, and has been controlled by the Huangfu family.
There are also legends about Sand City.
According to legend, it was still the era of gods and demons, and the name of Shacheng was Duoxie, which means pearl in local translation. It is a paradise with some of the most beautiful lakes in the world. The lake is called Namtso and is the habitat of the local deities.
One day, the daughter of the God Emperor passed by this place and found that the lake was so beautiful that she couldn't help but enter it. The god of the lake was furious and thought that the goddess had blasphemed him, so he sent water to drown the goddess.
The God Emperor was furious when he learned of his beloved daughter's death, and immediately ordered the lake god to be killed and let the yellow sand flood the place. A paradise has since been reduced to a dead place of yellow sand.
One of the more popular versions is that the goddess visited the lake, and the lake god fell in love at first sight and launched a crazy pursuit of the goddess. In the end, he won the heart of the goddess, and both gave up their godheads and became mortals.
This also angered the God Emperor, so he captured the lake god and flooded Duoxie with yellow sand, trying to force his daughter to change her mind.
Several eras passed, until a thousand years ago, a troglodyte called Loess appeared here. They were industrious and hardworking, and after hundreds of years of hard work, they built the sand city.
When they should have enjoyed the fruits, civil strife broke out among the Loess people, and one of the families won a great victory, and gradually developed into the absolute overlord of the southwest area of Liangzhou, which is today's Huangfu family!
Huangfu and loess are caused by the confusion of local pronunciation, but now there is a strange rule: within the influence of the Huangfu family, everyone is not allowed to mention the matter of loess, otherwise they will be punished lightly, expelled or even beheaded!
————
That night, after enjoying the warm hospitality of the host's family, the three of them slept peacefully.
Zhilu remembered her identity as a maid and served the priest with the same respect for Zhou Ji Wuxian.
In the middle of the night, everything was calm, Si Quan removed the air cover, and Zhilu lay in Si Quan's arms. Compared to before, she found that men didn't seem to be in high spirits.
"Something is on the Lord's mind?"
"It's okay, I've been killing too much in the past few days, and I'm a little tired!"
"I know how to relieve fatigue massage, let me help you!"
"Sleep, see how tired you are?"
Si Quan was amused, rubbed the woman's hair dotingly, and closed his eyes first.
In fact, he was not at peace.
Thinking of the words of the old man of the Phantom Spirit Clan, he felt faintly uneasy in his heart. If what the other party said is true, then there will be a daughter of the Blood Spirit King among his own women. So far, however, he has no clue.
Why did she hide her identity? Didn't even tell herself? Could it be that there was an ulterior conspiracy?
Who is she? Or is this a woman who hasn't shown up yet?
It's good that he didn't show up, but Si Quan was looking forward to meeting another alien beauty. With his current vision, those who can withstand the pressure of the women in the family to enter the room must be peerless beauties!
But what has already appeared? Si Quan carefully recalled the bits and pieces of the women in his mind.
Su'er was the first to rule out, her parents are still alive, and she still grew up with her, and Heyu also knows the roots.
Shangguan Qinghan, this woman is impossible, a combination of several major forces, if she is, I am afraid that the Tianzong family can find a piece of tofu to commit suicide.
Zhou Ji has no suspicions, and the woman is too angry. There is also Nalan Yan, this woman suddenly changed from a demon queen in the world to a woman of a good family, she is too capable of pretending...
Thinking about it carefully, Si Quan felt that Situ Ying was the most suspicious. He has investigated the deeds of women: his father's identity is uncertain, his parents have been plotted against since he was a child, he killed an aunt at a young age, and he has no empathy for his own people, how can these things that the human race can do?
The more I thought about Si Quan, the more I felt that it was possible, maybe it was Situ's father and his wife and concubine who discovered Situ Ying's identity, and then was killed and killed. In order to hide her identity, that woman is even more in the name of a demon girl, and no one really knows her!
So what is her purpose?
Si Quan was confused, not to mention that she was an undercover agent of the Blood Spirit Clan, but according to the hatred between the Human Race and the Blood Spirit Clan, it was impossible for the world to allow her existence.
How would she choose between herself and her people?
Since getting married, Si Quan has never been sure to control this woman, and when the time comes, maybe a big family will be cheated by her.
"What a headache!"
Si Quan secretly decided that when he saw this woman, he must strip her secret clean, if she is really the daughter of the Blood Spirit King, she must take a good look and not be beaten!
"Lord, are you awake?"
Si Quan lowered his head and found that Zhilu had opened his eyes. Suddenly, he saw the bright light of the window again, and suddenly smiled bitterly, thinking that he had been dancing all night, and he was just about to fall asleep, but the sky was bright!
"Morning!"
There was no way, Si Quan had to get up and hurry!
