Bai Yujing

=====================

The news of the reconciliation between His Highness the Third Highness and the Heavenly Emperor did not spread in Bai Yujing for a few hours before there was a new version——

His Highness the Third Highness went to the Mausoleum of the Queen of Heaven together with the Emperor of Heaven, and then His Highness the Third Highness left alone. Half an hour later, the Emperor of Heaven came back from the mausoleum and decreed that His Highness the Third Highness should be grounded.

However, at this moment, His Highness the Third Highness was leaning against a stone by a pond in Huanyin Ridge, touching the blood bracelet on his wrist.

Today's Huanyin Ridge is rarely sunny and sunny, and it is rare that it does not look damp and dark. Lin Yan doesn't like that kind of light, and still wears a veiled hat.

A piece of hair was wrapped around his fingertips, and it was hard to notice unless he looked carefully. The blood bracelet on his wrist changed from small to large and turned into a green snake coiled quietly beside him, watching him play with that hair seriously.

"Do you want to know why I took one of her hairs, or do you already know?" Lin Yan asked.

The green snake hesitated for a while, then twisted its neck seriously and nodded.

If you don't have the blood of the snake clan, even a single hair should not be able to pass through the barrier, but now that hair is lying on Lin Yan's hand.

It became more and more confusing.

A passing girl saw Lin Yan and suddenly said, "Ah, what a beautiful green snake!"

Lin Yan put away the hair when he heard the sound, and looked at the girl, "If you like it, I will give it to you."

Hearing the words, the green snake quickly coiled around Lin Yan's waist, as if swearing to the death, the girl was amused, "This is Mr.'s snake, even if Mr. doesn't like it, I think this green snake likes you."

She took a few steps forward, "Can I touch it?" She said, "I'm a golden krait, and everyone in my family is too, and I'm tired of seeing it. Green snakes are also common, but for some reason, Maybe it's my bad luck, but I haven't seen a green snake that hasn't turned into a human."

Lin Yan nodded.

The green snake seemed a little unhappy, but seeing Lin Yan nodded, he obediently poked his head out and let the girl stroke her.

"If it turns into a human in the future, it will definitely have a peerless beauty." The little girl looked very happy after touching the green snake

Lin Yan took advantage of the situation and said: "I came this time to find its old master. I heard that your former clan king had a sister?"

The little girl shook her head and said: "I am young, so I don't know much about these things. Go east, go deep into the dense forest, and go around the mountain. There is a red flower behind the mountain, and an old man lives beside the flower. Snake demon, I heard that it is five or six thousand years old, you may ask her, maybe she knows."

After the little girl finished speaking, she asked again, "Sir, are you going?"

Lin Yan raised his eyes, "What?"

"If you go, can you pick a red flower for me?" The little girl said, "My friends and I often go to the mountain to see flowers, but my mother said that the old snake demon only eats small snakes, so I never I don’t dare to pick one, but if you go to see that old snake demon, can you pick one for me, I will definitely reward you with a lot of money.”

"No need to pay a lot of money," Lin Yan said, "If I pick flowers, I will put them where you and I meet today. If I haven't come back in three days, then I have failed the girl's trust."

"Okay," the girl was very happy, "it's a deal."

Going straight to the east, the desolation became more and more desolate. Lin Yan frowned slightly. Huanyin Ridge was almost full of dense forests. He had been walking forward with his sword for a long time, but he still didn't see the mountain the girl mentioned.

Huanyin Ridge has a vast territory, and Lin Yan increased the spiritual power to activate the spirit sword again with three points of doubt. After about half an hour, clues finally appeared in the depths of the mountains.

Going around the mountain in front of him, a large sea of ​​red flowers instantly took away Lin Yan's vision. The color of the flowers was very conspicuous. If you don't look carefully, it looks like a vast sea of ​​manzhushahua flowers.

Lin Yan Yujian slowly stopped in the valley, and the stream flowed down, splashing clear water on the stones.

This kind of flower seems to have no smell, and it grows in layers quietly. The strangest thing is that all the flowers open in the same arc. There are no buds that are ready to bloom, and none of the buds have just emerged. All bloom to the maximum, revealing the golden yellow in the middle stamens.

When viewed from a distance, the flower looks a bit like the red dendrobium that is prevalent in Fuxian City, but it is not exactly the same when viewed closely.He folded one and put it in the spirit ring, and planned to give it to the girl later.

Following the path pointed by the girl, he saw a low bungalow built with stones and mud. It could be seen that the people living in it were not very trim.

The smell of moist soil diffused, and Lin Yan knocked on the old wooden door.

After a moment of silence, there was a creaking sound, and an old woman opened the door. She didn't look scary, and her eyebrows and eyes were even gentle. When she saw Lin Yan, she was a little surprised: "Who is the young master?"

"Junior Lin Yan, you are bothering me a lot." Lin Yan cupped his hands to the old woman.

"You came to look for me, but what's the matter?" The old woman led him in. The layout of the room was also simple, but it was still clean and bright.

Seeing Lin Yan took a few more glances at the furnishings in the house, the old woman smiled and said, "What are you looking at, young master?"

Lin Yan didn't want to hide it, and said bluntly: "Before I came, someone told me that Madam is a monster that can eat people, so I was a little surprised to see Madam with such a pleasant face."

The old woman smiled and poured a cup of tea for Lin Yan, "It can be seen that the rumors are not necessarily true, especially for an old man like me who can't justify himself without going out, it is rare to clarify for himself."

"Why does Madam choose to settle here and practice alone?"

"Everyone has their own reasons that are inexplicable," the old woman said, "Furthermore, maybe I could leave before, but now in the entire Huanyin Ridge, everyone knows that I am an old hag. It’s not that everyone yells and beats, but they will also be avoided.”

Lin Yan took a sip of the tea, the rough tea was tasteless but refreshing, "I don't know if it will be useful or not, but I will definitely clear your name when I go out this time."

The old woman also poured herself a cup of tea, "Guess, do the people in Huanyin Ridge believe your words, or the words of their parents and relatives who raised them? If they tell their children that I am a bad witch, whether it is I'm going to explain it, or the young master is going to explain it for me, I'm afraid it won't work."

"In the same way, the human nature is the same if you are a young master," the old lady said, "If the person who raised you from a young age says that I am a big treacherous and evil person, and he must get rid of him quickly, today's young master may not be the same." I came to visit, but met each other with a knife in hand, no matter how gentle and tolerant the old woman is, in the eyes of the young master, it is just a smile hiding a knife."

"I've never heard people say these words before." Lin Yan glanced at the old woman, and felt that she seemed to have something in her words, and he rubbed the blood vine on his wrist calmly, "I heard today, Madam's words are profound, but it enlightens the younger generation."

"It's just a long time in the deep mountains, just a little bit of complaint," she said, as if she didn't want to continue entangled in this topic, "gossip for a long time, and I haven't asked the young master why he came to me?"

"I heard that Madam is old, so I came here and wanted to ask some old things." Lin Yan cut to the chase and said, "Is there anyone from Huanyinling who married into Baiyujing?"

"Young master, do you know Rong Ji who died 1000 years ago?"

Lin Yan nodded.

"During Rong Ji's reign, people from the Snake Clan were never allowed to intermarry with other races, especially the Protoss, otherwise they would be expelled from the Snake Clan if found out," the old woman said, "Before Rong Ji became the king of the clan, there were still some The Young Snake Clan intermarried with the Shen Clan and went to Bai Yujing, but since Rong Ji came to power, she didn't allow them to come back except for those people's names."

The old woman shook her head and said, "I also moved here because I couldn't get used to Rong Ji's cruelty and moodiness. Although it was lonely, it saved me a lot of worries."

"Then..." Lin Yan asked: "Is anyone married to the Emperor of Heaven?"

"I've never heard of this," the old woman said with surprise on her face, "I've heard that all the gods in Baiyujing can only have one fairy companion. When Rong Ji was in power, the Queen of Heaven was still there. How could the Emperor of Heaven marry someone else?"

Lin Yan lowered his eyebrows, thinking so, even if he knew more about the past, someone from the Snake Clan really married the Emperor of Heaven, and even the Immortals in Baiyujing were kept secret, let alone the Snake Clan.

The old woman racked her brains for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, "It's the former snake king, I heard that she left Huanyin Ridge because she married the great fairy official of Baiyujing, that is, Rong Ji My sister...Young Master," she observed the expression on Lin Yan's face, "You are not a pure snake clan, are you?"

Before Lin Yan had time to digest the shocking thunder thrown by the old woman, the old woman saw through her identity. After pondering for a while, he said frankly: "I am indeed not. I was able to pass through the barrier of Huanyin Ridge only because my mother is Snake tribe."

"That's how it is," the old lady explained, "The two barriers in Huanyin Ridge are the ones sent by Baiyujing Tianshen when the clan king got married. The dowry, to protect the snake clan from being invaded by other races forever."

"This barrier can be opened and closed by the clan king at will, so it was only for protection, and it didn't mean sex. It was just abused by Rong Ji, and he was not lenient. It caused many lovers to be people of different races and had to separate Two places. Later, the former clan king came back, personally reprimanded Rong Ji, and released those resentful spouses to reunite."

"Being in the snake tribe, you must know the existence of the barrier, and your parents and relatives will often explain the origin of the barrier in the last two sentences, and mention this former king," the old woman said to Lin Yan: "Just now the young master came in. At that time, I couldn't see what kind of snake the young master was, and when the former king was mentioned, the young master didn't seem to know, so I speculated that the young master is not from the snake clan."

Lin Yan: "Madam is extremely intelligent, and the younger generation admires her."

"My lord, you are welcome," the old woman said kindly, "Others who intermarried with the gods, the old woman doesn't remember much. There are many gods in the sky, and there are many snake demons in Huanyin Ridge, but none of them are as memorable as this one." gone."

"May I ask what the name of the former clan king is?"

Speaking of this, Lin Yan was already somewhat skeptical, not to mention that Rong Ji mentioned that he was the child of his sister, not to mention, if he hadn't married such a powerful and powerful god as the Emperor of Heaven, how could an ordinary god of heaven be able to establish a marriage that even the Emperor of Heaven could not break? Open the barrier?

Such a solid barrier, I am afraid that only the five Yuanjuns of the year could have joined forces to create it. If it were not for the Emperor of Heaven, who would be able to command the five Yuanjuns?

"Yao mirror."

Yao mirror...

Lin Yan had never heard anyone mention this name on Bai Yujing, just like his possible mother of the snake tribe. Before these few days, no one had ever suspected that the Emperor of Heaven had other women, but He is not the real son of Tianhou.

"Dare to ask this King of the Yaojing Clan and the one who killed Rong Ji thousands of years ago..." Lin Yan paused, then gently uttered the name "Shi Tianqing", and asked, "What's the relationship?"

"Shi Tianqing?" The old woman thought for a while, "I haven't heard of this name before, it's just the person who killed Rong Ji...Your Excellency is talking about Lord Qingai?"

"Yes."

"Qing Yujun was rescued by Yao Jing from the Netherworld, and he was taken as a brother-in-law for many years, and then he went to Baiyujing... I don't know what happened in recent years, I only know that 1000 years ago, Qing Yujun suddenly I came back and killed Rong Ji." The old lady stroked her temples and said with emotion: "It's embarrassing to say, the three of them are as good as before."

Lin Yan frowned slightly, "Yi brother?" He chewed these two words for a while, then took out the black silk from his hand, "When madam said I came in, you were looking at what kind of snake I am. , can the lady see something with this hair?"

The old woman took Qingsi, because of her presbyopia, she took it a little far away to look at it, and then said: "The old woman feels that this is not like a snake tribe."

"If it's not the snake clan, how can we enter the barrier?" Lin Yan raised his eyes and asked.

The old woman's tone was a little hesitant, "Forgive me, this hair is not a physical body at all, it should be the illusion of immortality, young master, you might as well take a look for yourself."

Lin Yan slightly raised his eyebrows, and took it again.

He just wanted to use the barrier to test whether he was a snake tribe, but he didn't explore whether the black hair was real. He wrapped the hair around his fingertips, and the spiritual power flowed along the black hair, but he couldn't feel the texture.

Even if it is a dead person, it shouldn't be like this.

Indeed, as the old woman said, this hair is fake... What lies in the ice coffin is not the body of the Queen of Heaven at all, but a dead thing transformed by magic. From the beginning to the end, it is not a living thing. There is no difference between the benches, so they can freely enter Huanyin Ridge.

But why did the Emperor of Heaven create a fake Queen of Heaven's body and put it there? If the Queen of Heaven that was enshrined in such a grand manner is a fake, then where is the real Queen of Heaven?

Is she Ning'er, the princess of Chu, or Yaojing, the demon king of the snake tribe?

He couldn't think of a clue for a moment.

Before leaving, out of selfishness, Lin Yan asked about the sea of ​​red flowers next to her. The old woman only said that she only planted them recently, and she didn't know.

It wasn't until Lin Yan walked away that the woman hidden in the dark came out, holding a little girl by the hand.

——It turned out to be the girl who just told Lin Yan where she was.

The old woman took off the mask on her face, revealing her still youthful and beautiful face, knelt down on one knee and respectfully said, "See the Clan King."

"Did you tell him what I said?" Shi E asked lightly.

"Yes."

Shi E nodded, took out the spirit stones from the spirit ring, gave one part to the little girl and one part to the fake old woman, said with a smile on her lips, "Thanks for your hard work, both of you."

The girl took the spirit stone, knelt down with the fake old woman, and said joyfully, "Thank you, clan king!"

Shi E looked at the two people in front of him, raised his hand to signal them to get up, "No need to say thank you, it's just about today, don't say a single word."

"It's natural," the two said in unison, "Don't worry, the Clan King!"

Shi E nodded slightly, her eyes fell on the sea of ​​red flowers not far away, unable to see the emotion in her eyes clearly.
