The King of Beasts smiles but does not speak [Shan Hai Jing]

Liang Yu's little paws tapped on the table, feeling a little overwhelmed.

In front of him, the lord grabbed the ground with his head and knelt very piously, and Bai Ze, who was standing beside the lord, also had a troubled look on his face.

And a few steps away, what Ruan Ruan looked at curiously was an ice sculpture with a strange posture.

This ice sculpture is not tall, and looks like a little girl.

Coincidentally, she looks exactly like the little girl who bullied Liang Yu just now.

"Young master, the little girl is naughty! You, please forgive her!" The king kowtowed several times as he spoke, in a blunt voice.

Liang Yu shook helplessly.

In one day, being kneeled twice by such an elder, I don't know if it will shorten my life!

It's not that he doesn't save people, it's that he doesn't know what's going on!

At that time, after being thrown to the ground by this unlucky child, he fell into that strange chant.

Afterwards, I had no impression of myself.

When he finally woke up from the haze, Bai Ze and the king had already rushed to his side, and that brat had become what he is now.

I am so innocent!

Does anyone believe it?

I don't know if others believe it or not, but the king doesn't believe it anyway.

Seeing that his forehead was smashed, the usually high-ranking ruler still had no intention of stopping.

Bai Ze at the side finally couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward to stop the king's "self-mutilation" behavior, and comforted him: "Calm down first, let me persuade the young master."

Seeing that the Lord's kowtow finally stopped because of Bai Ze's words, Liang Yu also heaved a sigh of relief.

But even if you persuade me, it's useless!I don't know how to get her back to normal.

Fortunately, although Bai Ze was also confused about this matter, he also knew that Maruko probably didn't do it on purpose.

He picked up Xiaowanzi, first comforted her softly, and then said: "Are you willing to forgive her?"

Forgiveness is actually unwilling.

But it's not enough to let her die like this, not to mention that her father has been knocking on her for a long time.

After thinking about it, Liang Yu silently rubbed against Bai Ze.

This move made Bai Ze and the long-awaited king heave a sigh of relief.

"That's good." Bai Ze also smiled again, and then came to the ice sculpture with the little ball in his hands, "Then just pat her with your paw."

It's that simple?

Liang Yu stretched out his paw in doubt and patted it.

Then--

Just like when I first met Ruan Ruan at that time, there was a sharp "click" on the ice layer, and the floating ice on the surface suddenly cracked inch by inch.

And the little girl trapped in the ice finally returned to her usual appearance.

The king rushed forward with a howl, and hugged his daughter back into his arms: "Ninny, you are going to scare the father to death! How can you..."

In the middle of his speech, he was suddenly taken aback, because the girl in his arms was not only motionless, she was as smart as usual, and she didn't even blink her eyes.

"My lord..." The king looked back at Bai Ze blankly, "What's going on?"

Bai Ze was also taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It's probably because of being deterred by spiritual power, and the primordial soul has been damaged."

The sovereign said sadly: "Then, is there a remedy?"

Before Bai Ze could reply, Ruan Ruan, who had been standing by the side watching the play, replied, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Although the primordial spirit is damaged, it hasn't dissipated. It will be fine after a while."

Only then did the lord calm down, and said again: "How long do we have to wait?"

"Then it's not certain." Ruan Ruan smiled brightly, "But I heard that the Book of Officials of Jiuming has the power to protect the subjects of Jiuming, maybe you can consider using it to save your daughter."

"But..." Bai Ze shook his head, "After voluntary death, the Jiuming Official Book cannot be awakened."

Although there will be a reaction when seeing the Jade of Jiuming, it still cannot be opened.

"But now there is Wang Chuan and Wang Yu... Then wouldn't it be good to recognize another Lord of Jiuming?" Ruan Ruan raised her head and nodded her little ball, "What do you think of my master?"

Inexplicably named Liang Yu: "..."

Bai Ze frowned slightly: "But I've never heard of a precedent for being able to ascend to the position of domain lord in the era of Maruko, this..."

"But how many precedents are there in total?" Ruan Ruan interrupted him with a sneer, "Jiu Ming was the first generation of king domains, and since then it has split up to now, there are only five king domains in the world. What does it mean if there were none before? Before the Lord of Jiuming ruled the roost, who would have thought that the world could be unified?"

White Pond:"......"

Bai Ze and Wang Qiqi, who felt that what Ruan Ruan said was really reasonable, fell silent.

After a long time, Bai Ze finally made up his mind and looked at Liang Yu.

"Although I don't know whether you can take on this responsibility, but..." His eyes flashed sorrow, "But our time is really running out."

After talking to Liang Yu, Bai Ze turned around and bowed deeply to the king: "Then I will trouble you to prepare."

Liang Yu, who was not consulted at all: "..."

Am I going to be an empty puppet emperor? !

***

Considering that Jiu Ming's situation was too tragic, Bai Ze discussed with the ruler and decided that there was no need to hold the "enthronement ceremony" too grandly.

One is that they really don't want to be too noticeable, and the other is because...

Quan Feng really didn't have that spare money.

But even though he was mentally prepared, Liang Yu still felt deeply sad when he saw the sacrificial altar that was even simpler than the scene where a small company came to recruit in his previous life.

Poor and miserable!

He could already imagine how difficult his future life would be.

In fact, Bai Ze, who was holding Liang Yu, was actually feeling uncomfortable.

He is a person who has really seen the prosperous age, so he naturally knows the scale of a normal "sacrifice", not to mention that this is a ceremony that bears the dual meanings of "enthronement" and "sacrifice".

Fortunately, Xiao Maruko still doesn't understand this, otherwise how sad it would be!

Sacrifice is carried out according to the time.

Bai Ze stepped forward with Xiaowanzi in his arms, and gently placed him under the sacrificial altar.

The cold wind is hunting, rolling up the sadness and whistling.But there are still plums in full bloom, with a faint fragrance.

Xiaowanzi was bored listening to the audience Bai Ze praying for heaven's protection on his behalf.

——Being reasonable, is it really useful to pray for the way of heaven?Your master also begged back then, didn't you still say that if you destroy the country, you will destroy the country?

However, just as this thought came to his mind, there was a sudden "hum" in his mind, followed by a faint sharp pain.

"Contained in the earth...between heaven and earth..."

Again!

what's the situation? !

Liang Yu was secretly annoyed in his heart, but the scene in front of him suddenly became quiet.

As if forced to pause, even the whistling wind could no longer be heard!

But what sounded faintly next to his ear was an unfamiliar voice.

This voice is calm and cold, but extremely pious——

"Qi Liang implores the heavens, bless me for a long time!"

Oh, yes, he has heard this sentence before.

It seemed to be the voice from the Jiuming official book when he was in the city yesterday.

But why is this happening again?

Do we have to recall our ancestors every time we offer sacrifices?

However, before Liang Yu could finish his emotion, the voice sounded again, and continued——

"If you are blessed by the Dao of Heaven, I would like to use Jiuming as a sacrifice, Jiuming's subjects, and me as a sacrifice, even if I die, I will not regret it!"

Liang Yu thought to himself, you've sacrificed everything, what's left?What's the use of being blessed?

However, after a while, there was an emotionless, rigid and cold voice that responded——

"Yes."

Liang Yu: "...?"

No way!Is this a proposal and has it been adopted?

How does he feel... as if he knows the reason for Jiu Ming's demise? !

Just as Liang Yu was thinking wildly, those messy sentences and voices finally began to recede in his mind.

The sound of the wind picked up again, blowing the soft fur all over his body fluffy a lot.

It’s so cold!

He had just sighed inwardly, when he heard Bai Ze shout loudly from the audience: "Welcome to the spirit bird!"

Spirit bird?what spirit...

Before he could finish his thoughts, a wave of heat suddenly hit the sky. The wave of heat surged like clouds and mist, almost knocking Liang Yu off the stage!

Liang Yu struggled in the heat wave for a long time. Just as he tried to open his eyes again, he saw a little bird in front of him.

The bird was covered in crimson red, as if coming from a bath of fire, and the part of its tail was as clear as the blue sky.

However, Liang Yu's focus was not on the bird, but on a bead held in the bird's beak.

The whole body of this bead is sea blue, very much like the glass beads he loved to play with when he was young, round and beautiful.However, amidst its blue color, there is actually a faint golden light.

Seeing Liang Yu staring at him without blinking, the little bird hurriedly jumped two steps forward, then passed its long beak, and fixed the "glass bead" directly on Liang Yu's forehead!

hiss!

pain! ! !

In two lifetimes, Liang Yu has never felt so much pain!

The roiling heat wave seemed to burn his internal organs, but the monstrous chill permeated and spread from the outside to the inside!

Like the most poignant night during the awe-inspiring winter solstice!

Like the hottest day in the scorching heat!

Liang Yu, who was tortured by these two "extremes", almost thought he was going to die!

He struggled desperately in the haze, and it took him a long time to feel the pain gradually dissipate.

He opened his eyes with difficulty, struggling to adapt to the suddenly bright light in front of him.

Then, suddenly startled.

Not far from the audience, Bai Ze, the king, and Ruan Ruan were all looking at him in shock, half ecstatic and half puzzled!

And this perspective——

He looked down at the corner of his clothes, and it was indeed the same as that night in the forest.

It seemed that this time, he had really turned into a human form.

Liang Yu managed to hold back his staggering pace due to his weakness, but the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up slightly.

It's over, the old problem has happened again!

He had this "problem" in his previous life. When others were nervous, they either shook their hands or panicked.

But he played cards very differently from the usual routine, very different——

When he gets nervous, he wants to laugh.

And the more nervous you are, the more you want to laugh!

Now he is very nervous, so he can no longer control the corner of his mouth that has "run away", and burst into a smile while weeping in his heart.

Damn!That does not work!Let me go down quickly!So many kobolds looking at me, I'm nervous!

Thinking of this, Liang Yu fixed his eyes on Bai Ze.

It's you, hurry up and save me!

Therefore, the people in the audience saw from afar——

The man who has turned into a human form, standing on a high place and looking down proudly, stands with the wind in his clothes.

On his so-called perfect face, those pupils transformed into peach blossoms were obviously filled with a bitter chill, but the corners of his jade-like mouth suddenly curved, and then he sighed calmly——

"Bai Ze, come."

The author has something to say:

The symptoms written in the article... come from me.

I really, the more nervous I want to laugh, I still don't know why.

In the past, my classmates always thought that I was absolutely confident when I was handing out test results, because I always laughed...

But actually, I'm really just nervous ah ah ah ah! ! ! !

When I was in college, I went to learn to draw and sharpen pencils, but when I lost my mind, I pushed the knife into my finger.

Then a very handsome little brother next to me was taken aback. He picked up a tissue and went up to help me stop the bleeding, but suddenly I was very happy... and laughed.

...Then I saw that little brother took a step back in horror...

[Because of this incident, my roommate laughed till I graduated _(:зゝ∠)_]
