Honghuang on the tip of the tongue

There is still no clue about the whereabouts of the tenth seal point, so everyone can only speculate based on the other nine seal points, circle a few possible seal points, and then conduct on-the-spot investigations.

Their first stop was Qingyao Mountain.

Not long ago, Tianting received a secret report saying that there was a vision in Qingyao Mountain, which was suspected to be related to the beast tide.

According to the "Shan Hai Jing", Qingyao Mountain, the secret capital of the Emperor of Heaven, is the residence of the goddess Wuluo. This goddess who was born since the beginning of the prehistoric period is in charge of every mountain, stone, plant and tree here.

Qingyao Mountain is home to a group of races called "Vitals". The biggest difference from other races is that this race has no men, only women. It is a veritable "daughter country".

Hearing about the existence of the Daughter Kingdom in Qingyao Mountain, Rong Ze asked curiously: "Then how do important people breed offspring?"

Could it be that there is also a son-mother river there?

"I know that," Fei Yi raised his hand and said, "It's a bird."

The 鴢鸟 is a bird that looks like a wild duck, with blue feathers, only the eyes and tail are red.

As long as a woman eats the eggs laid by this bird, she will conceive and give birth to a child, which is also a daughter.

The greatness of the prehistoric world is indeed full of wonders.

Wukong then asked, "Did the man eat it?"

Fei Yi was taken aback for a moment, this touched his blind spot of knowledge.

He scratched his head and said blankly: "I don't know about that. Men have never been allowed to enter or leave this daughter's country, and no man has ever tried to eat otter eggs."

The Daughter Kingdom of Qingyao Mountain has been isolated from the world since ancient times. Men are not allowed to enter, and citizens are not allowed to go out. It is even more mysterious than Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox.

This time, if Qingyao Mountain hadn't discovered suspicious signs, suspected to be related to chaos, they would not have allowed them to enter.

Before entering the mountain, everyone was told repeatedly that most of the dignitaries had never had contact with men since they were born. Therefore, after arriving in the country of daughters, they must abide by the local rules. They should not contact or chat with them on non-business matters. Once found, Severe punishment.

Fei Yi was shocked: "Can't you even say a word?"

Yuan Shi glanced at him and said lightly: "If you have something to do, you can ask for instructions first."

Rong Ze also felt that this was too strict, and he didn't understand the reason until he learned the origin of Qingyao Mountain's Daughter Kingdom.

It turns out that the ancestors of the important people were originally from ordinary tribes. They were all women who were abandoned or hurt by men. When they had nowhere to go, they wanted to commit suicide. Fortunately, they were rescued by the goddess Wu Luo, and they lived in Qingyao Mountain ever since. Come down and be called dignitaries.

The first generation of dignitaries hated men so much that they swore they would never see them again.This tradition has continued to the present, and the vast majority of dignitaries have never seen a man from birth to death.

If it wasn't because he couldn't help himself, Wu Luo wouldn't ask the Heavenly Court for help and break the rule that "men are not allowed to enter Qingyao Mountain".

Wu Luo rode a red-haired beast that looked somewhat like a leopard, wearing silver armor, and led a group of guards who also rode red-haired beasts to greet them in person.

These guards have short hair, wear armor, and look heroic. At first glance, they can't tell the difference between men and women. If it weren't for the fact that they were only women, some people would believe that they were men.

Everyone was a little dazed for a moment, it was one thing to hear about the daughter country, but another to see it with their own eyes.There are also many female practitioners in Tianting and Chanjiao, but they feel completely different from these guards.

"Cough." Rong Ze deliberately cleared his throat as a reminder.

Everyone came back to their senses, hurriedly withdrew their gazes, and looked straight ahead without squinting.

When Wu Luo saw them, he got down from the body of the beast, stepped forward to salute Yuan Shi with fists in his hands.

She and Yuan Shi are old acquaintances. Although they have never had a close relationship, they occasionally meet several times.

Wu Luo is a petite woman with soft features, slender waist and white teeth, simple metal earrings on her ears, and her voice is as clear as jade.

Just by looking at the appearance, it is hard to imagine that this is a goddess with strong fighting power.

Rong Ze heard from Yuan Shi that Wu Luo was very belligerent before the founding of the Daughter Kingdom, but for some reason, she disappeared for a while, and when she reappeared, she became the leader of the Qingyaoshan Daughter Kingdom. Participate in the turmoil of the prehistoric.

Following Wu Luo's army into the mountain, Wukong looked around curiously. Seeing this, Rong Ze hurried to his side and asked in a low voice, "Great Sage, what are you doing?"

Some guards have already noticed his actions and are looking at them with vigilant and disgusted eyes.

Wukong has no sensitivity to this aspect at all. He didn't notice that he was being targeted by important people. He said carelessly: "I'm looking for a bird."

Didn't they say that there are jays in Qingyao Mountain? Why didn't he see any of them?

Rong Ze never expected to get this answer, so he can only say that he is worthy of the straight man Sun Dasheng.

Wu Luo's face changed slightly when he heard his words.

Rong Ze and Yuan Shi looked at each other, feeling that the Valkyrie's attitude was a bit strange.

The answer will be revealed soon.

Wu Luo said in a deep voice: "Tianzun, until now, I'm telling the truth. This time I came to you because of the disappearance of the bird."

The scorpion is missing?

Rong Ze widened his eyes.

No wonder, the Qingyaoshan Daughter Congress, who had always been isolated from the outside world, suddenly asked for help from the Heavenly Court. It turned out that such a big thing happened.

Before coming here, Rong Ze had learned about various aspects of the Daughter's Country. He learned that because the eggs of the jaguar bird can make a woman pregnant, this bird is regarded as a holy bird in the local area, and a temple was specially built for them to enshrine them.

If the sage bird disappears, it means that the local people will no longer be able to reproduce by eating bird eggs, and the important people will become extinct.

Fei Yi muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it easy not to go extinct? Obviously there is the most convenient way——"

He was glared at by Rong Ze, stuck out his tongue, and stopped the second half of the sentence.

Fortunately, Wu Luo didn't hear what he said, and said, the bird suddenly disappeared overnight, as if it had evaporated from the world, without leaving any traces.

In addition, the saints and priests who lived in the temple to take care of the birds all year round were missing together with them. There were three people in total, but none of them disappeared.

Wu Luo suspected that the disappearance of the holy bird and the saint had something to do with Honghuang's recent turmoil of beasts. Knowing that it was difficult to solve the matter with his own strength, he reported it to the heavenly court.

Just at this time, Heavenly Court was struggling to find the whereabouts of the tenth sealing point. Knowing this, they also suspected that Chaos was behind the scenes, so they decided the first stop to be Qingyao Mountain.

Rong Ze frowned slightly, and asked, "Ms. Wu Luo, can you take us to the temple?"

Wu Luo took a deep look at him and nodded, "Okay."

Rong Ze was a little surprised: everyone said that Wu Luo hated men, but her attitude towards her didn't seem to be rude.

It was only later that he realized that the reason why Wu Luo treated him kindly was because the experience of his disappearance gave her a feeling of empathy.

——Wuluo's daughter is the missing saint.

The temple is not located in the daughter country, but is built on the highest peak of Qingyao Mountain. It is said that this is to cater to the living habits of the jaguars: jaguars do not like to live in the crowd, but like to stay in the wild.

Hearing this, Rong Ze frowned, and said to himself, since the birds love freedom, why build a special temple for them? Isn't this imprisoning them in disguise?

The thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly saw the temple dedicated to birds.

Objectively speaking, this temple is indeed well built, magnificent and imposing, no worse than any other temple, which shows the devotion of the dignitary to the bird.

No matter how picky people are, they can't find anything wrong with the temple.

But when he first saw the temple, Rong Ze felt uncomfortable.

As he stepped into the hall, this feeling became more and more obvious.

As soon as I entered the temple, I saw a several-story-high statue of a squirrel, which was made of a very precious blue metal, shining coldly in the sun.The eyes of the bird statue are decorated with rubies, and at first glance it looks like bright red blood is flowing.

Rong Ze felt uncomfortable, he only glanced at it, and then quickly looked away.

The main hall is the dwelling place of the jaguar. There are 53 japanese in total. They usually live here, and the saintess and priests take care of their food and drink.

Every bird has its own "home", which is actually a birdcage made of gold.

Compared with ordinary birdcages, the space inside is astonishingly large, and all kinds of equipment are readily available. There are food utensils for birds to eat and drink, which are replaced every two hours.Every place in the birdcage is carefully wrapped with cotton and soft cloth, as if to prevent the unfortunate accident of the bird from being injured.

Rong Ze noticed that Fei Yi's brows were getting tighter and tighter, as if he was about to suffocate, but because there were other people present, he didn't say anything.

After leaving the main hall, Fei Yi showed a relieved expression and took a deep breath.

Rong Ze handed over a mint candy: "Here."

Fei Yi hurriedly stuffed the sugar into his mouth, a refreshing coolness hit his forehead, he felt much more awake, and thanked him.

Rong Ze looked at him worriedly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Fei Yi made an exaggerated expression, and also lowered his voice: "Stay for a while longer, I'm going to suffocate!"

"Is it that serious?"

Fei Yi spread his hands: "I don't know what it's like for other Yuzu to live here. If it's me, then I'm probably going crazy."

Even a cage made of gold and jade is still a cage. As a Yu clan who yearns for the sky, who wants to be locked in a cage all year round and not be free?

The two were whispering to each other when Wu Luo said, "This is the residence of the saintess and the priest."

The status of saints and priests in Qingyao Mountain's Daughter Kingdom is very high, it can be said that it is second only to the goddess Wu Luo and the holy bird Zan Niao.

The saint is Princess Danqing, the daughter of Wuluo. She is also a goddess with an immortal body.She has been a saint for many, many years, and she has been a saint from the day the temple was founded.

The other two priests are the assistants of Princess Danqing. They were selected from the dignitaries to serve the holy bird when they were very young.

For the rest of their lives, they will accompany the holy birds and take care of their daily life. This is their duty and honor.

I don't know if it is due to the influence of the architectural style, but like the main hall, the hall where the saintesses and priests live also gives people a gloomy feeling. Even though the sun is shining overhead, Rong Ze still feels that his back is shady.

Maybe it was because he was shaking too obviously, Yuan Shi suddenly held his hand, fingertips to fingertips, palm to palm.

Rong Ze was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but Yuan Shi held it even tighter.The sky was full of red, he carefully looked around twice like a thief, and lowered his voice: "What are you doing, there are so many people here."

Yuan Shi half-closed his phoenix eyes, and glanced at him with a half-smile.

Rong Ze only felt a warm current passing along the palm of Yuan Shi's hand to his own, and then spread to the whole body along the meridians.The eerie feeling disappeared in an instant, and the whole body was warm, making people feel so comfortable that they wanted to sigh.

"Cough, thank you, I'm much better." Rong Ze touched his nose uncomfortably, ashamed to admit that his thoughts were wrong, and he thought Yuan Shi was going to do something bad.

Yuan Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't try to expose him, but said: "There is a resentment here."

The implication is that he feels cold.

Resentment?Doesn't sound like a very nice word.

Rong Ze wanted to ask, but now is not a good time to talk, so he could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart, and followed the crowd into the hall of the saint.

Rong Ze originally thought that he would also see a luxurious bedroom, just like the main hall he had seen just now, even the bowls that the birds used to drink water were made of crystal.

Unexpectedly, the inside of this hall was extremely clean, it could even be called simple.

The layout of the three bedrooms is roughly the same, a bed, a table, a chair, a small box for storing sundries, and nothing else.

Rong Ze thought to himself, this is even simpler than his original rented house, at least he still has a cabinet.

The other two important priests are both eighteen or nineteen years old, and Princess Danqing is said to be in her twenties. Logically speaking, a girl who is in puberty should be cute and cute.

As a result, their room looked so dull and dull.

After the saintess and the priest disappeared, the entire hall was carefully searched, and all the objects were kept in their original state. Everyone checked them one by one, but found nothing unusual.

There was no sign of a fight at the scene, and even the bedding was neatly packed. It didn't look like the incident happened suddenly.

Rong Ze asked Wu Luo: "Did anything suspicious happen before the saint and the priest disappeared? For example, there was a strong wind."

He thought of what happened to him back then.

Wu Luo shook his head silently.

The guard beside her whispered: "The saintess Danqing has always taken care of the holy bird very well, and the temple has never had any problems."

That's why the disappearance of the Holy Maiden Bird caused such a panic.

Yuan Shi suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "About how many babies are born in Daughter Country every year?"

Wu Luo was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why he asked this question, but he answered truthfully: "Usually, there are about fifty or sixty people every year, but last year it was a little less, only 45 people."

Rong Ze couldn't help frowning: He just learned that the breeding rate of this jaguar is not high. There are two breeding seasons a year, and each time it can lay about one or two eggs.There are 53 extant moccasins, 36 of which are females.Calculated according to the number of newborns born, almost all the eggs they lay every year are used to feed the rich.

He asked, and sure enough.Except for some of the eggs laid by the mok, which are fixedly used to breed new moko, most of them are eaten by dignitaries seeking children.

He also learned that in the beginning, long before the establishment of this temple, the number of jacarandas was much greater than it is now. They lived in groups in the mountains and forests and could be seen everywhere.

But I don’t know when, the birth rate of the mok is getting lower and lower, and the death rate of the newborn is also increasing year by year. Maybe only one of the three newborns will survive.

For this situation, people are helpless and have no choice but to further strengthen the protection of the jaguar, donate the best food, and provide the most favorable living conditions.

But this group of birds is still declining day by day.

Wu Luo looked serious, and said: "This is the test of heaven for us."

Rong Ze frowned slightly, but stopped talking.

After checking the situation of the temple, the group went down the mountain and came to the middle school of the daughter.

Probably because they had been instructed in advance, they didn't meet a few locals along the way. Even if they met face to face, the other party ran away in panic, as if they were scourges.

On the contrary, one or two young girls looked at them curiously, and were dragged away in a hurry after being reprimanded by the elders around them.

The doors on both sides of the road are closed, and it looks like a ghost town in broad daylight.

"Forgive me, my daughters in Qingyao Mountain have never seen a man in their life, they are just not used to getting along with men." Wu Luo said.

Speaking of this, what else can they say?You can't force someone to come out, can you?

Fortunately, when we arrived at the palace where Wu Luo lived, we finally saw a figure.

There are guests coming from afar, Wu Luo, the host, naturally wants to entertain them well.

The tradition of setting up banquets to entertain guests has existed since ancient times, even in the isolated Qingyaoshan daughter country.

It’s hard to say how rich and expensive the dishes served them, but it’s really strange, and they are all unique local ingredients.

One of the vegetable soups made with xuncao caught Rongze's attention.

It is recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" that it is shaped like bluegrass, with square rhizomes, small yellow flowers, and red fruits. It is said that taking it can beautify the skin and make the skin fair and delicate. It is a good beauty product.

As a result, upon hearing this, Fei Yi and Wu Kong immediately put down their spoons in fright, for they were afraid that they would look as charming as women after eating it.

Rong Ze: "..."

Not really, really not.

The two steel straight men couldn't persuade him, so Rong Ze ate it by himself.He took a mouthful of vegetable soup with a soup spoon, put it into his mouth, nodded and smiled: This soup has a clear taste, the grass is finely chopped, and it is delicate and smooth, which is very suitable for appetizer soup.

Noticing Rong Ze's satisfied expression, Yuan Shi heard the sound: "If you like xuncao, you can plant some in Kunlun Mountain in the future."

Rong Ze was startled, then the corners of his mouth turned up, showing a big smile, and nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

The author has something to say: Yuan Shi: Hey, Aze agreed to go home with me!

"Shan Hai Jing Zhong Shan Jing": "Ten miles to the east is the mountain of Qingyao, the secret capital of Emperor Shiwei....Wuluo Sizhi. It has a human face and leopard writing, a small waist and white teeth, and piercing ears. Ji, its song is like Mingyu. It is a mountain, and it is suitable for women. The water flows out of the Yan, and the north flows into the river. Among them is the bird named Yan, whose shape is like a mallard, with a green body, vermilion eyes and red tail, and eats it. Yizi. There is grass Yan, its shape is like a scorpion, with square stems, yellow flowers, and red fruits, and its roots are like Ligusticum ligusticum. It is called Xuncao, and it looks beautiful."
