Chapter 229: Lin China
In fact, at this moment, Qiao Jiaxin was grateful for all kinds of things in her previous life and had the power of incense wishes, and finally received her form and mind, fully opened her mind, reunited her body, and achieved ghost cultivation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, she was just an innocent girl a few months ago. And now it has become a ghost cultivation of artistic conception. Speaking of supernatural means alone, this Qiao Jiaxin has become the most capable among this group of people.
But she took shape, not knowing what she was thinking—just staring straight into the forest. When Ying Ran finally couldn't help but try to touch her, this Qiao Jiaxin suddenly spoke.
"This way. ”
The first time people heard her speak, it was indeed the first time she could speak.
After she said this, she did not wait for anyone, and took a step straight into the forest. At this time, people were surprised to find that the condensed facial features on her face were not shaken away, but only slightly blurred.
People are a little hesitant to keep up. But in the end, they realized that no matter what, it was not good for them to just walk away, leaving behind the "people" who had risked their lives to save them and not asking. And although Qiao Jiaxin's behavior is weird, it doesn't seem to be harmless. These people are not small. Otherwise, he would not have left the city, let alone make a temporary decision, and he would have to save Qiao Jiaxin, who he was not very familiar with, from the hands of the "Taoist priest".
So they followed.
But after only a dozen steps into the forest, I found myself lost.
This is already deep in the forest, and the trees are towering into the sky. Although it was morning and the sun was shining, the sun was obscured by the lush foliage, and it was dark and lonely, as if it was evening. Dozens of people were walking in the woods, which should have been lively. In addition, people were looking for Qiao Jiaxin again, and they would occasionally whisper to each other to prevent them from getting separated from their companions, so that there was a lot of anger in this forest.
However, it is strange that after a dozen steps, people slowly realized that they could still hear the voices of their companions, and they wanted to find someone, but they couldn't find anything.
It was as if the man was behind another tree. But you go around, and there is no one behind the tree. I could see a human figure in the forest before, but now I can't even see a human figure.
After a dozen more steps, there was no sound.
The people who should be brought by Ying Ran are not good people, they all go from south to north, and almost all of them have human lives and knowledge.
Therefore, I realized that this was a "ghost hitting the wall".
Someone has experienced it, someone has heard of it. But most of these things can get out of trouble in the end, but it takes time, so I don't panic.
Don't panic. He realized that something was wrong after six steps into the forest—he was walking with Yu Meng. But after Yu Meng turned a tree, he disappeared all of a sudden. At first, the two girls could be heard whispering in a slightly panicked voice. But soon the voice was no longer audible.
He knew that this was the time to meditate. Then find the right direction to take a closer look and walk slowly, there is always a way to solve it.
He walked for another quarter of an hour, and finally turned out of this particularly dense wood.
The front suddenly opened up.
It was a flat meadow, and the grass was just up to the ankles. There is a shallow stream across the meadow, which is the kind of water that is common in the forest, mixed with dead branches and leaves, but especially clear. There were no fish in the current, but a few loaches were hidden in the crevices of the rocks at the bottom of the water, motionless, and they did not know if they could get food.
And at the detour of the shallow stream, there is a stone monument. The stele is here for an unknown number of years, covered with a thick layer of moss. Ying resolutely felt that this sudden scene was a little strange. He subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife.
The leather rope wrapped around the handle of the knife was a little awkward, but it gave him a sense of security.
He cautiously took a few more steps forward, and was able to read the words on the stele.
Looking at it, it is vaguely the three words "Yuanzhu Country".
Ying is definitely not a person who does not know how to write and ink, so he feels that this monument and the name are full of evil spirits. A whole sunny meadow suddenly appeared in the dense forest, and the grass was flat, looking like it had been maintained. There is such a lonely stele by the stream, engraved with "Yuanzhu Country...... He'd never heard of such a place.
The vicinity of Weicheng has been prosperous for thousands of years, and the possibility of a "small country lost in history but unknown" is too small.
He thought about it for a moment and decided to slowly withdraw.
But at this time I saw a person.
To be exact, it was the sight of a group of people. Suddenly people came out of the woods behind the stele - about fifteen or sixteen young women with long legs and bee waists, and surrounded one of them an old man with a gray beard. The old man had a ruddy complexion, wore a Fulu brocade robe, and held a three-bat auspicious cloud wooden cane.
As soon as the group appeared, the grass was filled with lively laughter and smiles. And this smile is not for others, but for decisiveness.
The old man looked at him with a smile and floated over. A group of girls behind him also looked at him shyly, innocently, or curiously, bowing their heads from time to time to whisper a few words and then snickering, not knowing what they were laughing at.
The sudden situation made Ying Resolute slightly stunned. In this stunned moment, the old man had come to him.
He bowed to him and said, "I am the land here." I didn't know that Ying Gongzi came, and he missed the welcome. Ying Gongzi has always been good?"
Ying Ran frowned slightly and clenched the knife.
The old man smiled again: "Ying Gongzi can rest assured." Ying Gongzi had arrived in the territory of Yuanzhu Country at this time. The queen called me to invite her son to the banquet. If you're still worried about your companion, you don't have to. They are now in the royal palace to meet the queen of the Yuanzhu Kingdom. ”
Ying resolutely took a step back and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
But the old man said no more. Only waved his hand.
Behind him, a group of young girls gathered around him and pulled the black knife with all their hands and feet. All of a sudden, the fat powder covered his head and face, and his eyes were full of snow-white breasts, delicate red lips, and laughter like silver bells.
This girl from nowhere is enthusiastic and unrestrained. One of them turned behind Ying Ran and pecked him shallowly on his neck with two cherry lips. This peck, the black knife felt that the spring in front of him was boundless, and there was a charming style. The previous vigilance and vigilance did not know where it had been thrown for a while. He let go and let the girls snatch his black knife away. The whole person was carried by those girls, and walked side by side with the old man, and crossed the stone tablet engraved with the words "Yuanzhu Country".
But he said that as soon as he passed this stone tablet, the world was immediately changed in front of him.
It turned out to be a forest standing on top of the sky, but now the towering trees are gone. There is a splendid city in front of you, the roads in the city extend in all directions, and the roads are paved with white marble, which is exquisite. And the buildings in the city were made of silver and white marble as bricks. Men and women dressed in colorful clothes crossed the city road, smiling kindly.
The black knife should resolutely look into the distance again, and see a six-story white jade attic standing in the center of the city's roads that extend in all directions. There seems to be the sound of silk and bamboo upstairs, and it can be faintly heard here.
He was shocked by this spectacle, a sight that can only be seen in the dwelling place of heaven and man.
My heart moved, and I looked behind me again. But he found that he was no longer on the ground—the city was suspended in the sky. Countless indescribably thick trees supported this white jade city, but there was no bleak feeling of unbearable cold in the heights, but only a harmonious joy of reunion!
When the old man saw that he was fascinated, he waved his hand to dismiss the maidens, and said, "The queen is already waiting in the building." Ying Gongzi and come with me—today is a great event. ”
The black knife was already in a blur at the moment, and he couldn't even think of anything wrong with this situation. I just feel that my mind is stuffed into a stake, and I can only walk straight, but I can't change my thoughts. He also smiled, let the old man take his hand, and went along the road in all directions to the white jade tower in the city.
The two of them arrived in front of the White Jade Tower in a short time. Seeing a row of samurai in colorful armor standing in front of the door, he had a sense of majesty. Another white-robed ceremonial officer trotted out of the building, and when he saw Ying Resolute, he raised his voice and shouted: "Ying Gongzi is here, Ying Gongzi is here!"
Ying decided that he didn't know how he was ushered in the door and went straight to the second floor.
When I entered the door, I saw a queen sitting in the middle of the second floor.
This queen sits high on the throne of white jade, wearing a gold and silver silk embroidered robe with a phoenix pattern, and a cloak of emerald brocade and feather satin. At first glance, the whole body is shining, like a fairy. The head is simple, only a thousand-petal chrysanthemum is inserted, and the green silk on the head is picked up. But she wore a silver glittering veil on her face, so that people could not see her eyebrows clearly.
There is a few in front of the queen. There are plates on the table, containing all kinds of delicacies. The queen sat on her bow, on her left and right. Ying Ran looked at it, and they were all familiar faces - Yu Meng, Na Wusu, and Lili were two sisters. Dozens of his men were also present. The number of people sitting on the second floor did not look crowded, but the servants standing by the wall of the hall craned their necks vigorously to look at the people.
At first, he felt that the servants were hungry and hungry for the food on the table in front of them. But when they looked closer, they found that they were not looking at the food in front of those people...... And it's just those people.
But the thought flashed through his mind and quickly vanished.
I saw that the female dynasty beckoned and said, "Show Ying Gongzi a seat." ”
He must not know how the queen knew his name. But looking at Yu Meng, Wusu Lili, and other cadres, their faces were all happy and intoxicated, as if they were in a gentle hometown and did not miss Shu. He was relieved, and sat down in front of the queen.
The feast will soon begin.
First, there are singers and dancers, and then there are concubines serving hot wine and hot dishes.
After three rounds of drinking, the Kabuki were withdrawn, and the queen who sat down did not eat and sighed faintly.
This sigh actually entered Ying Ran's heart, which made him feel love and pity, and he just wanted to share his worries for the beautiful woman. He arched his hand, got up and asked, "Why is Your Majesty sighing?"
But the queen would not answer him. On the contrary, the old man who sat on the side and claimed to be the land first asked Ying to sit down, then stood up, arched his hand to everyone present, and said: "It is a difficult thing to invite all the knights to come to my Yuanzhu country. ”
"I have tens of thousands of people in the Pearl Country, live and work in peace and contentment, and have no quarrel with the world. Hundreds of years of recuperation in this radiating city, although there are occasional wars and disputes with the city, but it has never fallen behind. ”
"It's just that a few years ago, another country came to this neighborhood, called 'Tufeng Country'. It turns out that we are also safe with the country of Natu Feng. Unexpectedly, there was a great disaster later. ”
The old man's gaze swept over the people's bodies one by one, cleared his throat, and continued: "The people of the Tufeng Country are all lazy, partial, and cruel and terrifying. In the spring and summer of each year, they will give birth. They are born and raised, but they will come to our Yuanzhu country. Only those men and women who are strong and beautiful are selected to be taken captive and stunned. Then the body was dissected and the baby born in the tenth month of the woman of the Natu Wind Country was buried in it. ”
"The baby began to eat from the body of our people. It was eaten into an empty shell before it broke out, which was miserable. ”
"I have sent troops to your majesty several times to ask for it. However, the people of the Natu Wind Country flew without permission, and they could not hurt them in the slightest, but could only destroy their lair. But after a few days, they were rebuilt. After several times like this, the people in the country are bored and complaining, and this conquest is not easy to requisition. ”
Eventually, he signed an alliance with the queen of the Natufeng Country. It is said that every spring and summer, our Yuanzhu country selects dozens of healthy people to give to them, and they will not violate our land. Now is the time to give it away. But my majesty loves the people like a son, so how can he bear to send people away? ”
When Ying resolutely heard this, he was furious, slapped the case, and said: "How can there be such a thing that hurts the heavens and reason? Your Majesty invited me to wait, but you want us to help you and attack the Tufeng Country together? Your Majesty does not have to worry - my generation of Jianghu warriors is the most important morality. Since this has happened, it is naturally incumbent on us!"
The old man listened to him and smiled. Bent down and approached Ying Jieran, his eyebrows and eyes were bent into crescents, and said, "Ying Gongzi is high-minded." ”
"But I invite you to come here not to conquer the Tufeng Country. The people of the country of Natu Feng are high in the sky, and we have nothing to do. Rather, since His Majesty is reluctant to let me go on behalf of my people, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to ask you to go on behalf of my people!"
Ying resolutely heard this, and was stunned at first, and a few ominous premonitions welled up in his heart. Then he looked at Yu Meng, Wusu, and Lili opposite him.
Earlier he sat down, staring only at the queen and not talking to anyone else. Now, when I was slightly surprised to think of these people who had come with me, I finally realized that the smiles on their faces had never changed since I entered this lobby, and the food and drinks in front of them had not changed.
There was a thought in the chaotic mind of this black knife, but it was never able to break free. I could hear the queen say, "Since Young Master Ying has no objection, then the matter will be settled." I, the people of Yuanzhu Country, will not forget the great kindness of Ying Gongzi in the future. Someone—"
But before the queen could finish speaking, a colorful guard suddenly ran in outside the door. He kept shouting: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong!" (To be continued.) )
