Chaoyuan Road

By the Hulun Lake in autumn, there is a vast expanse of yellow sand and white grass, and the setting sun reflects the clouds in the sky into purple-red veils. The cool breeze slowly pushes the waves inlaid with golden edges to the shore of the lake, like a girl. The child's skirt embroidered with gold thread rippled beautifully with her tiny steps.The quiet night is coming quietly. The birds returning to their nests in the sky, the fishing boats returning late in the center of the lake, and the shepherds on the shore who are free to rein, together with the entire grassland, are quietly bathed in the golden-red sunset. Very poetic.

This should have been a beautiful night, Battle thought secretly.His left hand went around his wife's slender waist, and he tightly held the reins of Chrysanthemum Cong, while his right hand rested on the bowstring around his waist, staring intently at the figure in midair.The man was wearing gorgeous silver armor, and the precious light flowing between the patterns of the nail leaves was a brilliance that Batel, who grew up in the grassland, had never seen before.With his back against the light, the setting sun behind him emitted a radiant light like fire from the sky, together with the man's scorching eyes, he stared at the young couple on horseback.

This is the legendary god, right?Battle was in a trance for a moment, until his wife stabbed him with an elbow, he came to his senses, quickly took off the precious bow on his back, fired several arrows in succession, the arrows pierced the wind, and chased the immovable mountain in front of him. black man.At the last arrow, his wife suddenly grabbed the rein in his hand, turned the horse's head skillfully, pinched the legs, and urged the horse to gallop away in the same direction.

"What are you doing?" Barter was puzzled.

"What are you doing?" The eighth princess didn't even look back, "Of course it's running away!"

"Escape?" Bateer was immediately annoyed, "Grandma won't teach the word 'escape' when the children of our clan are born!" He tightened his arm holding his wife's waist, and shouted loudly: "Let's go back! If I, Batel, a man of eight feet, fled like this, wouldn't I be ridiculed to death?"

The eighth princess hadn't answered yet, but someone behind her laughed loudly and said: "Good run! You just run, see if your horse is faster, or my Zongdi golden light is faster!" When Bartel turned his head to look, he saw the black horse running faster. The man in the suit is far behind, with thousands of points of golden light shining under his feet, his body is supported like auspicious clouds, and the warrior cloak embroidered with dragon patterns is flying up and down in the strong wind, like a dark cloud with countless thunderbolts, galloping towards him come.For the first time in his life, the invincible man who had traversed the grassland since he was a child experienced the taste of fear—there was a coercion in that man that made him tremble. Maybe this time, his wife was right.

But even if he escaped, where could he escape to?The sky was completely dark, and there were no lights on the vast grassland, only Sirius in the northwest corner of the night sky shone stubbornly, pointing out the direction for the galloping horses. "Go to the Holy Land of Tengger!" The eighth princess kicked the horse's belly hard with the spurs on her boots. Chrysanthemum Cong seemed to have sensed the unusual restlessness of her master. With a long hiss, she ran wildly. After running for an unknown amount of time, she finally lost her strength. Before falling to the ground, he stepped into the fence of the Holy Land.

The young couple on horseback was thrown to the sand by the horse, Battelle used his hands to relieve the momentum, rolled on the spot and stood up, and quickly helped his wife from the ground.The eighth princess didn't care about patting the dust on her body, and suddenly raised her hand and pulled out her husband's waist knife, and stepped forward, blocking Batel behind her: "Yang Jian, this is the holy place of the great shaman Tengger, he The Temple of God is behind us. I advise you not to go any further."

Yang Jian stopped his figure early in the morning, with no expression on his face, glanced at the blurred shadow of the temple in the distance, and said coldly: "If you have the ability, you should never come out, and you will spend your whole life in this cold and remote place." " Following his words, I saw ghostly figures jumping back and forth across the wilderness. In the eerily quiet silence, it seemed as if a boundless net shrouded the head, firmly nailed to it with a suffocating oppression. The edge of the Holy Land.

"The generals obey the order! As long as they dare to take a step, they will be locked up immediately, and those who disobey will be killed!" Yang Jian's voice was not high, but there was a faint tremolo of metal. The heights are uneven, echoing in the vast desert sea.

The three princesses of the West Sea stood respectfully behind the Queen Mother, seeing the Lord of the Jade Pond throwing all the remaining fish food into the water, she quickly grabbed it and handed him a towel.The Queen Mother wiped her fingers, then threw the handkerchief back to Cun Xin, and sighed, "Did Yang Jian send Ba'er to Kunlun Mountain?"

Cun Xin leaned forward and said, "I heard that it was sent by the God of Justice himself."

The Queen Mother said "Yes" and was speechless for a long time before she said, "In two days, you can go and see for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cun Xin took the order, "Does Your Majesty have anything to say to the Eighth Princess?" The Queen Mother shook her head: "Needless to say that I taught you to go, just go back after you have a look, and report to me." The dragon girl nodded, suddenly seemed to think of something, and said in a low voice: "I only have one thing that I don't know - since the God of Justice has already found the eighth princess, why did he bring her back to the heaven today?"

"You have been in the West Sea for a long time, so you don't know anything about Mobei." The Queen Mother got up and walked down the Jinbo Bridge slowly, "The tribes there believe in Shamanism, and their god Tengger has a temple deep in the desert. , as long as the sinners in the world escape into the holy land where the temple is located, they can become servants of the gods and redeem their sins. Whenever there is a war, the old, weak, women and children will help each other and flee to the holy land, praying to Tengger God's blessing."

"God Tengger?" Cun Xin asked in amazement, "This slave has never heard of it. Is there any great god in the Three Realms who can surpass Your Majesty and Your Majesty?" The Queen Mother said with a faint smile: "There are three realms in the heavens, but they are always concerned about this land. The barbaric land is respected and kept at a distance. Firstly, it respects the Shaman God, who is the only remnant in the world among the ancient gods. Second, it is also because the place is remote and sparsely populated, and the heavens can’t afford to compete for the offerings of the people there. The two live in peace. It's been a thousand years, how can we argue over such a trivial matter? Life is only a few decades. When the time comes, I'm not afraid that she won't come out."

Seeing the Queen Mother descending the steps, the Dragon Lady rushed up to grab her arm: "Your Majesty is still so far away! You have to follow the slave girl's little idea, thinking that the Judiciary God intends to indulge her and refuses to capture her."

"You girl, you don't get along with Yang Jian, so you just think of him as bad." The Queen Mother glanced at Cun Xin, although the voice was reproachful, the tone was not very serious.After hearing this, Longnu pursed her lips reluctantly and said: "How dare I have the guts to speculate about Lord Zhenjun like this? This is what the Zhongshu Ling said, and I think it makes sense after hearing this."

"Tian Nu?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said, "What else did he say?"

"It's nothing." Seeing that the Queen Mother was interested, Cun Xin hurriedly apologized with a smile, "Master Zhongshu Ling has been very busy recently, and I need to ask him to show me something. I have been to Yuqing Palace several times but there is no one. I heard Wang Bi say a few words , What about Dan and Ding?
