This was the fourth morning after arriving in Wuchuan Town. Facing the officers and soldiers who had been waiting outside the inn for a long time, the three travelers couldn't help but recall the rough experience before arriving in Wuchuan Town. Now the officers and soldiers of Wuchuan Town are so welcoming. The battle was beyond their expectations.
I saw Yan Dahan leading an infantry team of twenty to thirty people to come forward and wait, put Bai Feng and Murong Yan on their horses respectively, and then together with Jing Jie led the horses for those two people. They had no real authority to treat them like this. , and a person with no reputation, Yan Dahan can be said to be extremely polite.
Pulled by Yan Dahan, the horse under Bai Feng's crotch is marching step by step towards the holy land where the sacred tree is located. Along the way, Yan Dahan kept telling interesting stories, and his expression was as if he was trying to make people laugh. His flattering attitude even made the soldiers under his command secretly gossip about him. When Bai Feng saw this, he couldn't help but say something in reply.
"Master Yan, just a letter asking for help can make you treat me like this. Look, my family of three suddenly came to a strange place. If Master Yan didn't take care of me and take care of me, I don't know what to do. .”
"Serious words, serious words!" Yan Dahan was completely unaware that his behavior had begun to be jealous of his companions and subordinates. He still said humbly: "Mr. Bai, you are the distinguished guest of the Major General. It is my great honor to be able to work for you. a ha ha ha……"
Having said that, the others in the group were all amused by Yan Dahan's funny performance, and they also sneered. While talking and laughing, they had arrived near the holy place. The road here was rugged, so they had to dismount and walk.
Yan Dahan immediately sent someone to stay behind to take care of the horses, and then went forward alone to explore the road. He was more respectful and filial than he was to his own parents.
After a while, they came to the cave. There was not a single pilgrim in the Holy Land that day, but there were many armored guards patrolling back and forth. A blond girl seemed to have been ordered to wait there long ago. She was still some distance away from Bai Feng and the others, and she started Wave hello warmly.
"Bai Feng, you are finally back!"
"Come back?" Bai Feng was just confused when Yan Dahan, who was walking in front, suddenly started arguing with the blond girl.
"You're not allowed in!"
"I have been ordered by the young general to serve Mr. Bai well. How can I not follow him?"
"Come on, get this guy out!"
As soon as the blond girl finished speaking, several guards formed a spear formation, forcing Yan Dahan to retreat a few steps away, and gave advice one after another.
"Sir, please come back!"
"The Holy Lady has an order to only allow Mr. Bai to enter."
"Master Yan, please don't make it difficult for your brothers. Everyone is just trying to make ends meet."
Seeing that Yan Dahan was forced to retreat, the blond girl immediately ran to Bai Feng, hugged his arm and walked into the cave, "Come with me quickly, the saint is eager to see you!"
"Brother Feng!" Murong Yan followed up without hesitation, grabbed the other arm, and competed with the blond girl for the white phoenix.
"Who are you? Don't follow me!" The blond girl glared angrily and continued: "They are coming, drive them away quickly!"
When Yan Dahan saw this, he knew he couldn't neglect it, and immediately shouted: "Hey, capture them for me!"
After saying that, dozens of sword and shield soldiers immediately appeared behind him, and easily subdued all the guards in front of the cave. The blond girl was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Bai Feng. The domineering temperament she had just now disappeared, and she changed into Return to an inexperienced girl.
"What are you doing?" Yan Dahan shouted loudly at the subdued guards: "Are you the soldiers of General He Ba, or the soldiers of people like them who are deceiving the public with their lies?"
A young boy replied: "But...it was General Heba who ordered us to stay here."
"Ah?" Yan Dahan suddenly choked up, unable to think of a way to walk into the Holy Land in a legitimate manner. This embarrassing situation lasted for a while, until a black-haired woman came out of the cave and admonished: "Sir, I assure you that Mr. Bai will never be threatened in any way. We just want to invite him to come as a guest. "
"It's the Holy Lady!" Upon seeing this, all the boys fell to the ground.
"Lord Saint, I am just following orders..." Yan Dahan was the last officer to kneel down. He looked very reluctant, but in the end he lowered his head with a little piety.
"I understand your concerns, but today is not a day of pilgrimage. The sacred tree needs rest and the holy land needs to be clean. I don't want too many people waiting to come in and disturb me." The Xianbei Saint walked slowly to Yan Dahan's side. Stretching the back of his hand in front of the other party, Yan Dahan hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the proposal, held the saint's hand and gently placed it on his forehead, and answered.
"I obey the instructions of the Holy Lady." After saying this, he stood up and ordered all the soldiers to evacuate outside the cave. He was about to take Murong Yan and Jingji with him, but Murong Yan was unwilling to retreat. She resolutely waited at Baidu. Feng stood beside him and said, "I will never leave."
The Xianbei Saint didn't smile, but grinned and said, "In that case, the girl can accompany you." She waved the little girl behind Bai Feng to come over to her side, and continued: "Third sister, come back quickly!"
"Oh!" The little girl faced Bai Feng with a shy smile, and trotted to follow the saintly lady back to the holy land and back to the sacred tree.
"Tsk, stop looking down on others!" Murong Yan complained softly, walking closely with Bai Feng. The two came to the sacred tree again, and a mysterious sound of wind passed through their ears again. The sunshine they had experienced that day, the treetops and grass they had seen, the birdsong and singing they had heard, once again filled their five senses. .
The Holy Lady of Xianbei set up a banquet next to the sacred tree and prepared various foods and pulps to entertain the guests. The Holy Lady was sitting in the chair, and the old woman wearing a red ghost mask that day was also beside her, still sitting there like a stone sculpture.
The Xianbei Saint raised a bowl of extremely thick soup and said to the guests: "This is the specialty of this place. It is made from various plants under the sacred tree. Can you please have a taste?"
Bai Feng saw that the dark yellow soup was a little strange, so she didn't dare to try it. She raised her eyes and signaled to Murong Yan, and then said to Lady Saint: "Master Saint, we understand your kindness, but... can you? We should first explain, what does the saintly lady mean when she wants to find us?"
"Oh, you don't dare to drink it?" The Saint of Xianbei put down the soup on her table, walked up to Bai Feng, picked up the other person's soup, drank it without hesitation, then rotated the soup bowl, and put the soup she had just He held it in his mouth and handed it to Bai Feng's mouth, saying: "Please accept the highest courtesy from us Xianbei people, Bai Feng."
"Uh..." Bai Feng thought that there would be no chance of poisoning due to the conditions here, so he accepted such a great gift. The saint then went to Murong Yan to perform this ceremony again, and Murong Yan also accepted it with enthusiasm.
After that, the Xianbei Saint returned to her seat, picked up the fruit on the table, took a bite, and began to chew gently.
"Mr. Bai, why do you know 'Dugu Qi'?" The old woman wearing a red ghost mask spoke suddenly again. Her status did not seem to be lower than that of the saint at all.
"Senior, do you know Dugu Qi?" Bai Feng asked eagerly: "We must find him as soon as possible after being entrusted by others!"
"Hahaha..." The old woman laughed and said: "Before that, as the 'Oracle', you still have one important thing to complete."
"What's going on?" Bai Feng and Murong Yan looked at each other, suddenly feeling a splitting headache, and the whole world in front of them began to turn dark.
"You will have intercourse with the Holy Lady under the Sacred Tree, and finally give birth to a Holy Son, leaving a glimmer of hope for the future prosperity of our clan!"
"Brother Feng!" Murong Yan covered her head and lay on the ground, looking at the other party in pain.
Bai Feng regretted and asked, "Why was it really poisoned?"
"Otherwise, why would I have been chewing the fruits of these sacred trees?" Before she finished speaking, the Xianbei Saint gracefully wiped her mouth with silk, then walked up to Bai Feng and observed him carefully. appearance, kissed his cheek flirtatiously, and whispered beside him for a while.
However, after a moment, the two people completely lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
