The Lord who use immortals as food

Then there were two faint sounds of laughter in the forest, which came from another voice, but no words came out. After a pause, the melodious flute sound sounded in the forest.

The chamberlain walked forward in silence. Almost all the time, the leader's head was slightly lowered, allowing him to just see the road ahead clearly. Pei Ye didn't follow him step by step, but he also carefully controlled his sight.

They did not cover their steps, so the sound of the flute had stopped when they reached the pavilion. The plum blossoms cover the branches, and the green tiles are covered with snow, covering a clear space in the pavilion. A noble and restrained girl is sitting at the edge of the pavilion, holding a book of poems, and they hear footsteps coming towards them. Her eyes and appearance are very beautiful, her temperament is very elegant, and her eyebrows are made up like vermilion and tears.

The chamberlain stopped and bowed and saluted: "Good morning to the Sixth Princess. I am ordered to bring Pei Yan into the palace to perform official duties."

Pei Ye also bowed to him: "Pei Ye has met His Highness the Sixth Prince."

The girl looked at him. Even though it was snowy, Pei Ye still felt that he was in a moss courtyard in the cold rain, and the brisk poetry just sounded different.

Then Pei Ye noticed the maid behind her, who was about the same age. She was dressed in green brocade and holding a piccolo in her hand. She was looking over. Her expression and temperament were consistent with the crisp laughter, but her lips But his body was pale and pale, with a hint of weakness, and his shoulders and neck were tilted a little weirdly. Pei Ye's eyes moved downwards, and then he immediately took them back - he was almost completely missing a left leg, with a leg hidden behind him. Walking with a wooden cane.

"Well, it's Young Master Pei." The girl covered the scroll and nodded slightly, "I saw a heroic figure in the distance on the Winter Sword Stage that day, but I didn't expect to meet here."

Pei Ye didn't know who was watching the sword bet that day, but he had learned before coming that the Sixth Princess Li Youlong was also the chosen one with strong blood, but he didn't know what forces supported him. , shaped like a lonely person.

"My superficial skills make me ashamed to be looked down upon by Your Highness."

"Young hero is too modest." The girl's voice was also very quiet, and she seemed to have no desire to talk. "Young hero, are you going to visit the Zhujing Palace? I won't delay. Please go."

"Zhujing Palace" was an unfamiliar word. Pei Ye guessed that it was the residence of His Highness Jinyang. He followed the chamberlain with a fist-cup salute and moved forward to leave the small pavilion.

After walking a few steps, the flute sounded melodiously again behind me, mixed with a few faint bursts of laughter.

Pei Ye didn't know how big the imperial garden was, so he headed north all the way. After a while, he finally left the garden, and then he saw the ice sky and cold mirror, and a vast expanse of ice was reflected in front of him.

If you look down, the plum trees and willows are just like frost flowers condensed on the edge of a mirror.

Taiye Pond, the first of the eight imperial ponds, can be called a lake. The boat was frozen on the ice beside the lake. Pei Ye focused on the east bank. A large pavilion was built there. Floating red clothes, but no palace attendants. She looked at the frozen lake. Pei Ye didn't know how to describe this scene. The red dress was the only bright color. There were many servants shaving ice by the pool, but no one came even closer to the pavilion.

The chamberlain in front of him also stood still at this moment, bowed and said: "His Royal Highness Jinyang is waiting, Yanjian will go on his own."

Pei Ye was startled for a moment, nodded, and walked towards the Huiying Pavilion. When he stood on the edge of the pavilion, he suddenly felt something. He turned his head and looked towards the pool. Many palace people had lowered their heads and withdrew their gazes, but the gaze and stealth just now It seems that the language is not an illusion.

"You don't have to stand outside, come in." The red man in the pavilion said quietly.

Pei Ye felt a little chill inexplicably. The emotion in his voice seemed to be at the same temperature as Feng Xue. He climbed the steps and entered the pavilion. His Highness Jinyang, who had been famous for a long time, turned to him, with the wind and red clothes revealing too wonderful Her figure, her long hair was also tied with a piece of red rope, floating in the morning breeze, but the "national beauty" in Xu Chuo's words was not visible to Pei Ye - her face was covered with a light gold mask, only Revealing a pair of deep and cold eyes.

Pei Ye noticed that these eyes were obviously different from the Li Youlong he had just seen. Li Youlong's pupils were smaller, light gray and light, and a little bit bluish. He looked apathetic, and the person in front of him looked like a little emotionless. The person's eyes are also light-colored and cold, but the pupils are radiating, as clear as ice water, and if you look closely, they will reveal a variety of magnificence, which can easily make people stunned at a glance.

"Pei Ye, a humble official, has met His Highness." Pei Ye bowed and saluted.

"No need to be polite." Li Xizhou turned his head, still looking at the frozen Taiye Pond, and said slowly, "The land under our feet was called Haojing in the Western Zhou Dynasty four thousand years ago."

"..."

"Two hundred years after the founding of the Western Zhou Dynasty, fifty-four years after King Mu of Zhou came to the throne, an envoy from the Queen Mother of the West came to the Zhou Dynasty. King Mu treated him as a guest and gave him a residence in Zhao Palace. The name of this envoy was not left in the history books, and we can't find it now. To the ruins of 'Zhao Palace'..." Li Xizhou seemed to be talking to himself. He was quiet for a while and continued, "In the fifty-fifth year, the Western Envoy assassinated my king. During the winter solstice, the king died, and the capital was covered with snow, and the soldiers of the world wept. "

"..."

Li Xizhou turned around and said: "This is a record in the "Jizhong Annals". As far as I know, there is only an original copy of Xianrentai. In the past thirty years, Xianrentai has done countless searches and research, so it is probably credible."

Pei Ye frowned and listened quietly.

"When King Zhou Mu was assassinated, he was already in his twilight years. He had already completed his tour of the four seas and held at least the complete [Jiang Lou] and another unknown immortal power in his hands. As the common ruler of the world, the famous craftsman Yanshi built the capital for him, which made him connected with Haojing." Li Xizhou said, "It's probably like the Qilin today, whose lifeline is connected to the country. Assassinating him in his capital and his palace is still incredible thousands of years later."

"...Did it succeed?"

A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!

"'Mei' means dead." Li Xizhou said.

"Oh."

"But the outcome is indeed unknown, because the Immortal Terrace only has these few words. The so-called 'Winter Solstice, King's Death', is it that the fight between the king and the envoy lasted for a whole year, and no one could intervene, and he was defeated in winter, or King Mu killed the assassin, but he also exhausted his life and died after surviving spring, summer and autumn? After all, there is no answer." Li Xizhou said, "But there is one thing recorded in the ballad, which has been passed down for thousands of years more reliably than history books."

She recited: "Zhou Feng·Hao Tower says: 'Hao Tower is heavy, fish and birds are reluctant to leave; there are wandering girls in the sky, which is beyond imagination'."

"...What does it mean?"

"I think that in the 55th year of King Mu, the people of Western Zhou saw two Haojing."

"..."
