Chapter 263: The Tree of the Gods
The princess sat there as usual, with a sweet white porcelain vase on the small table next to her, and a few plum blossoms scattered in the vase. This plum blossom is selected by Yulu, some are already in bloom, some are shy and timid, and some are just a small bud. In this way, you can drive for a long time.
"Mother!" Zhan Xingran walked in and took out a plate of steaming pastries from the food box he was carrying, "This is what Miss Sima taught me to make, how do you taste it!" The princess sniffed a few times, and a happy smile like that red plum suddenly bloomed on her face, "It's osmanthus cake, I haven't eaten it for a long time!"
Sima Lu was surprised, "Princess, are you also from the Central Plains?" Zhan Xingran said, "My mother is not from the Eagle Clan, speaking of which, the story of my mother and my father knowing each other is still a good story on the snowy mountain!"
"You kid, you always talk nonsense!Miss Sima, don't listen to him, this osmanthus cake is so delicious!" The smile on the princess's face gradually calmed down, and Sima Lu looked at it, and her heart was sour.
A good story that was praised by everyone back then has also become a joke after years of wind, frost, rain and snow. Zhan Ji has already changed his mind, although he and the princess respect each other like guests, but between the two of them are separated by thousands of mountains and seas, and the gap that can never be crossed has turned them into cowherds and weaver girls on both sides of the Tianhe, and it is better not to see each other.
"If you think it's delicious, I'll give this method to Chaoxia and Yulu, and when we leave, you can also eat osmanthus cake!" Sima Lu was exquisite, thoughtful, and the happy princess couldn't close her mouth, "Xingran hasn't had any friends since she was a child, and I'm very happy that you are here!"
Zhan Xingran took the opportunity to ask, "Mother, have you ever heard of a tree called Meng Po tears, its sap can bind everything!" The princess was stunned, "Why did you ask about Meng Po tears?" Fang Du said, "Princess, we came to the Eagle Clan this time to find the juice of Meng Po tears. ”
"I'm afraid this won't work!" The princess's words were tantamount to pouring a basin of cold water on Fang Du and the others, Zhan Xingran said hurriedly, "Why can't it, mother, you can make it clear!" The princess raised her chin slightly, Chaoxia immediately understood what the master meant, took out the subordinates who were waiting on the side, and closed the door intimately.
"Mother, is it necessary to make such a mysterious fuss?" Zhan Xingran saw that her mother was so solemn, and knew that this Meng Po tears were not as easy to find as she imagined. Sure enough, the princess admonished them in the tone of an elder, "Meng Po's tears are a taboo in the Eagle Clan, you can't touch them!"
"Taboo?" Huaixing knew that the Eagle Clan had totems and sacred relics that they believed in, but he didn't expect that a tree would also be a taboo for the Eagle Clan. The princess said, "This is just a rumor, and it is said that the Meng Po tear is a divine seed descended from heaven. There used to be three sacred trees between heaven and earth, where the human realm and the heavenly realm could communicate with each other and transmit messages. Later, because of the rebellion of those with ghosts in their hearts, the Emperor of Heaven had no choice but to order the cutting down of three sacred trees. And the appearance of Meng Po's tears, some people conclude that it is the fourth sacred tree that can travel to and from the heavenly realm, so it is extremely precious. ”
"These are just legends, neither the Khan nor the princess have seen them personally, have they?" Fang Du said the question in his heart, but the princess said, "Although we haven't seen each other, the legends of the Eagle Clan's ancestors for generations are not wrong. Besides, the Khan was convinced of this! As you may have seen last night, the Khan was always very attentive to the affairs of ghosts and gods. ”
Fang Du clearly remembered that when Zhan Xingcan testified that the princess was a demon last night, the face on Zhan Huan's face was not painful, not incredulous, not suspicious, but real fear, and only fear!
"Besides, no one has really seen Meng Po Tears, it is said that it grows in the extremely cold land of the Snow Mountains, Xing Ran, don't you know, if you want to go there, you can only reach it through the temple of the Eagle Clan?"
"Promise your friends, you must do it, this is what my mother taught you. The princess paused and said, "If you want to open the temple, you can't do it unless there is a great joy in the Eagle Clan." If you can think of a way, I won't stop you. But I have to say more, if Meng Po's tears are really like the legend, I am afraid that if I move it, it will move the foundation of the Eagle Clan and the foundation of the whole world, you must be cautious!"
After the princess finished speaking, she was supported by Yulu and went upstairs to rest. Mo Xuanji was puzzled, "The great joy is nothing more than the title of the gold list of flowers and candles in the cave room." You are from the Eagle Clan, and the title of the gold list is not close to you, the candles in the cave room, your father may be interested!"
"Mo Xuanji, are you doing it right?" Zhan Xingran was not happy, thinking about it, there was another Qingluo who was as charming as a fox, but he was afraid that his mother would suffer more. Mo Xuanji saw that he was really angry, and told him again and again, "I was wrong, I was wrong, but my proposal is not completely unfeasible, your father can't do it, and you and your brother who is not angry, whoever of you marries a girl and comes back, can't you open the temple?"
"You said lightly, is it so easy for the prince of the Eagle Clan to marry, you have to give me some time to choose?" Zhan Xingran scratched his heart like twenty-five little rabbits. He wanted to help Fang Duan find Meng Po Tears, repair the Nine Dragons Ding, capture the Ding God, and avenge Huaiyue, but he didn't know where to get a girl.
Suddenly, Zhan Xingran saw Sima Lu. He grabbed Sima Lu and said, "Miss Sima, it's better for you!" Sima Lu was stunned by what he said, "What's up to me, what do you say?" Mo Xuanji laughed, "Yes, yes, my cousin is also the only daughter of the richest man in Yixi, and it is more than enough to match you, the eldest prince of the Eagle Clan." Zhan Xingran said, "If you want to open the temple, you can only do it on the day of great joy, if you marry me now, you can open the temple immediately, and let Fang Duan go to Meng Po to tears!"
He thought that his proposal was seamless, and Sima Lu would also agree to it for the sake of Fang Du and Meng Po's tearful faces. Unexpectedly, in the next second, Sima Lu slapped him hard in the face!
"Smack!"
"Shameless, obscene!" Sima Lu scolded with a nose that was not a nose and a face, "You want to take advantage of your aunt and grandmother, wishful thinking!" Zhan Xingran was stunned by this slap and stammered, "I, I didn't want to take advantage of you, it's just, it's just, isn't this all to find Meng Po's tears?"
