An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Holy Child Hall.

Aslan swung over with an attack: "I have nothing to say to you, if you have something to say, go to the sky and talk to the witch god!"

This man had something to say to him alone, and Aslan had no patience.He just didn't want to fight in front of Myrna and have another fight with her.

When Wei Lian and Aslan came out, Melna anxiously wanted to stop them, but Wei Lian shook his head gently to stop them.At that time, the more Melna cared about the situation, the angrier Aslan became.

Melna thought about it, and felt that Wei Lian was not a fool.As long as he took off the mask, Aslan would naturally not be impulsive when he saw that face, and Wei Lian's life should not be in danger, so he simply gave up the idea of ​​dissuading him.

So the two shifted positions and came to the Holy Child Hall.

There are large phalaenopsis in the courtyard of the Holy Child Hall, the purple splashes are splashing, and the fragrance is extremely strong.Aslan was afraid of ruining the flowers, so he didn't do anything in the yard, but kept his anger into the hall, and immediately drew his sword to attack.

Out of Melna's line of sight, Aslan didn't bother to say a word of nonsense.The man who has endured for many years and is jealous is irrational, he just wants to kill the person in front of him, this attack can be said to be merciless.

Wei Lian, however, changed from his vulnerable appearance in the Saintess Hall, walked lightly, and easily dodged the attack.

Aslan's eyes froze, he immediately swung his sword a second time. This time Wei Lian didn't dodge, stretched out two fingers, and gently clamped the blade.

Injecting internal force into it, Aslan was like piercing an iron wall, unable to move forward at all.He looked shocked, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? What do you want to do when you get close to her?"

In the Saintess Hall before, this masked man obviously didn't show his true strength.What is his intention to hide his strength and approach Melna?

Aslan can't stand Melna's sincerity towards others, let alone others' deceiving Melna's sincerity with purpose.

He loves it like a madman, and wants to protect the girl well, how can he allow others to plot and trample on her.

As soon as Wei Lian exerted some force, the bronze sword shattered into pieces.

Aslan who only held one sword hilt: "..."

If this person's purpose was to kill him, then he must have been killed by now.

"Holy Son, why not sit down and listen to me speak slowly." Wei Lian said politely.

Aslan insisted: "...what if I don't want to hear it?"

Holding a sharp bronze shard in his hand, Wei Lian said with a smile, "You'll want to hear it."

When Wei Lian took off his mask, Aslan was so startled that he almost fell off his chair.

"It's you!" Aslan was shocked.

He naturally remembered Wei Lian's face.

At the state banquet of Qin State, Young Master Lian amazed everyone, his magnificence was unforgettable.

But how could Young Master Lian, who was supposed to be thousands of miles away, appear here?King Qin will let him out of the palace?

Also, this Young Master Lian obviously didn't know martial arts...how could he be such a powerful peerless master?

Even though there were a lot of questions, before Aslan had time to ask them, Wei Lian said, "You know, why Melna became like this", so surprised that he forgot everything.

"What do you mean?" Aslan suddenly didn't care about anything, and all his attention was on this sentence.

"I came here for a little personal matter, so I don't want to talk about it." Wei Lian said, "Coincidentally, I met a woman on the way. Like the saint, she likes to have sex with different men. When I saw her, it was as if I saw her." To the second saint."

Aslan said softly: "It's not like there are no women like that, what's so strange about it."

"But I smell the fragrance on her body, which is exactly the same as that of the saint."

Aslan frowned, as if thinking of something.

Wei Lian continued: "Then I learned that she didn't do it voluntarily."

Aslan's complexion changed, and he blurted out: "How is it possible?!"

Wei Lian understood: "It seems that you have figured out who that person is."

Lin Yan'er was indeed related to Melna.

Aslan's face was uncertain, and he fixed his gaze on Wei Lian: "How do I know you're not lying to me?"

"What good does it do me to lie to you? I am a friend of the Holy Maiden, and I just wanted to remind you when I saw something strange in it." Wei Lian took out a scroll from his arms, "If you still don't believe it, Do you recognize this person then?"

The scroll fell, and it was Lin Yan'er's appearance.

Aslan stared at the painting rigidly, the last trace of doubt in his eyes disappeared and turned into a kind of despair.

He said hoarsely, "...I know her."

Wei Lian didn't expect things to go so smoothly.He thought that with Aslan's vigilance, he would have to spend a lot of time to get people to cooperate. He never thought that he just made a picture of Lin Yan'er, and said that Lin Yan'er couldn't help himself, and Aslan followed It collapsed like the sky was falling.

The man in despair was so fragile that he couldn't even be touched by a single blow. Wei Lian only gave a few words of comfort, and then he confessed everything as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw.

"...I should have found out that something was wrong a long time ago." Aslan said painfully, "I have already found out... Why didn't I dare to suspect? Why didn't I suspect that person!"

Wei Lian seized the opportunity and asked, "Which person?"

Aslan was silent for a long time, then sneered: "We call her grandma."

"The world calls her the State Witch."

Aslan and Melna are childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts.

Liang Guo pays attention to "divine authority of the monarch", and the belief in gods permeates all aspects and is rooted in the bones.The kingship is in vain, the status of the altar is much higher than that of the palace, and even the army is more obedient to the instructions of the gods - the instructions are naturally given by the state witch who can communicate with the gods.

It can be said that without the royal family, Liang Kingdom can still operate as usual, but without the state witch, the whole country will fall into chaos.

The national witch is mysterious and powerful. The only two opportunities to show up in front of the public during the year are the Witch God's Day Sacrifice and the Flower God Festival Tour.Her face is not old, and she is always youthful. For decades, she is regarded as a goddess by the whole country, from the king of Liang to the common people.

The state witch said that the witch god likes young boys and girls, so every few years, a group of four or five-year-old children will be selected from the people and cultivated for several years. Known as "God Envoy".

The cycle of being an envoy is seven years.They start to serve from the age of 11, until they are too old, they will step down and elect a new saint son and daughter again.

After leaving office, the former Holy Son and Holy Daughter will be free and leave the royal city with a large sum of gold, silver and jewels.Because the gods don't like to see their former envoys no longer look young, so they can't stay in the royal city.

Who can stay young forever?Except the country witch.

Aslan and Mirna were the selected "God Envoy candidates". Of course they were not the only candidates, but they were the ones who succeeded in the end.

They have entered the altar as god disciples since they were five years old. Among the group of children, Aslan and Mirna have the best relationship.They used to play the game of house wine. When they were young, Aslan gave Melna a bouquet of phalaenopsis, and the child said "I will marry you when I grow up", and was teased by the little girl "Holy Son and Holy Maiden cannot be married."

Aslan said, "We may not be chosen either."

"You don't have to be chosen!" The little girl was upset. The children all regard being an envoy as a lifelong honor. Aslan's words are too offensive.

Aslan quickly changed his words: "Then it will be fine after resigning from office, anyway, we will be at that time."

Only then did Melna let him go, and hummed lightly, "Okay."

That's how we made our childhood promises.

Later until the age of thirteen or fourteen, their relationship was very good.Boys and girls are just at the age when they are in love, and they are childhood sweethearts, and they are in love with each other, which is logical.Aslan thought, when he was 15 years old, he would give Mela a butterfly orchid and tell her his heart - Liang Guo became an adult at 15 years old.

The accident happened when they were 14 years old.

At that time, they had already become the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden. This position was actually very leisurely, just like mascots, and they only needed to practice a book of exercises.The holy son is a nine-yang kungfu, so he needs to maintain a boy's body.The saint is the Nine Yin Art, also known as the charm technique, which needs to replenish the man's yang energy, but one person can only do it once, otherwise it will hurt the other person's life.

I didn't understand it when I was a child, and I didn't know what kind of skill art is.If he knew, Aslan would never let Melna be the saint.

It was too late when he knew.Melna had a skin-to-skin relationship with a guard at the altar when she was 14 years old.

It was the one that Myrna kissed on her own initiative.

When Aslan met him, his eyes were tearing apart. He thought that he and Melna had already communicated with each other. He didn't understand why Melna would betray him.

"Did he force you? As long as you say yes, I will kill him immediately." Aslan trembled.

The once innocent girl smiled enchantingly: "Aslan, I found that I like this kind of thing naturally. Why are you so angry? I don't like you."

"You clearly said—"

"Tongyan Wuji." Melna said strangely, "Aslan, you don't take it seriously, do you?"

Myrna seemed to be a different person since then, becoming dissolute, promiscuous, ungrateful and shameless.

It was only later that Aslan realized that the exercises that Melna practiced required doing that kind of thing with different men.

"Stop practicing, okay?" Aslan begged her, "This god has made us wrong, let's run, okay?"

In a country that believes in gods, and a child who grew up in an altar and was instilled with the idea of ​​obeying the gods, it is extremely difficult to have this kind of consciousness to escape.

But Melna said impatiently: "I'm not unwilling, and it's not because of my practice. How many times do I have to say it before I understand, this kind of thing is really comfortable, I'm born unwilling to live alone, I just I want to taste the taste of men all over the world. Don't persuade me, next time you tease me like this, don't blame me for telling grandma and let her punish you for confinement."

Aslan did not know what to do, he did not understand how things had come to this.

The Phalaenopsis orchids that have been carefully raised in his yard for many years filled the entire yard, but they still couldn't be sent out in the end.

Too many men have slept in Melna's bed, spoken love words to her, and sent her phalaenopsis, which symbolizes love. Flowers have long since become cheap in her eyes.

Then he would rather not open his mouth to express his mind, and not send it out to be ruined.

Nine Yang Kung Fu and Nine Yin Kung Fu, in the eyes of the world, are magical skills that only saints and saints can practice.No one sees a problem with this.This exercise was given to them by the State Witch, but Aslan never suspected that the State Witch had ulterior motives.

It was grandma who adopted these homeless orphans, gave them a noble status above ten thousand people, and changed their original destiny.Grandma was very kind to them, and even said to Melna: "If you don't want to practice this exercise, you can stop it at any time, but then the saint will be replaced. I won't force anyone."

Melna said quickly: "Grandma, I am willing."

In the southern Xinjiang dialect, grandma means "the person who adopted me and grew up".The kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and they all respect her very much.

How can you doubt it.

"People who have practiced Jiuyin Kungfu will have that kind of fragrance on their bodies, which cannot be mixed with any spices." Aslan said in a low voice, "The person you met is the former saint... I saw it when I was a child. Her side. If she didn't do it voluntarily...then Melna probably did too. She was controlled...she was lost by evil deeds, she wasn't born like this at all!"

"But I haven't discovered it for so many years, I dare not doubt it, and I didn't save her..."

Seeing Aslan's absent-minded appearance, Wei Lian understood that the blow he had suffered right now must be serious.He waited for the person to calm down a little before he said, "How are you going to save her?"

"Yeah, how should I save her..." Aslan murmured blankly, "What should I do?"

Wei Lian continued: "The State Witch has her purpose for letting you practice this kind of exercise. If you know her purpose, you can find a way to break it."

He absolutely does not believe in the so-called service to the gods.He wasn't an atheist, but the national witch of Liang country was like a cult cultivating Gu, playing tricks on everyone.

"She is already so powerful, immortal, half-step fairy, what purpose does she have?" Aslan was puzzled.

Wei Lian instantly grasped the key point: "Eternal life?"

He pondered for a moment: "Maybe, this is her purpose."

There is no real immortality.People outside the world who are not old like his master are not in the world and not involved in karma.But this one is a state witch in the Liang Kingdom, and has been contaminated by secular karma all over the place, so she doesn't shy away from it at all.

Most of them are not outsiders.

Not an outsider, but able to go against the sky, must have used some kind of sorcery.Some people practice to benefit all living beings, while others commit crimes for their own benefit.

In ancient times, are there still few people who would do anything to pursue immortality?

Aslan couldn't keep up with Wei Lian's train of thought: "What?"

Wei Lian looked at Aslan with pity: "I'll just do this for you."

As dark and shrewd as Wei Lian, even if the fact is that Aslan is actually asking for their help, he still has to say that he is helping Aslan.

Aslan didn't notice anything wrong at all, he was so shocked by the sudden news, he subconsciously followed Wei Lian's advice: "What should I do?"

Wei Lian said: "There is no need to do anything."

When we kill your grandma, just stay by and watch and don't come out to stop us.

Melna was under the control of others but was not poisoned or bewitched, most likely because of the same curse as Ji Yue.It's just that what Ji Yue endangered was his life, and what Melna was affected was her heart.

Lin Yan'er probably had too strong a mind and was not completely affected. Her body had already sunk, but she was still able to stay awake rationally. That's why she suffered so much.

That's very simple, kill one person, kill two birds with one stone, everyone is happy.

It turns out that the so-called cause and effect is such a solution.
