Reality and Games of Ancient Swords

After leaving Qingfeng's department, Ji Yan and Hongyu stayed together for nearly two months before separating.The reason for the separation was that Hongyu planned to stay and study under the priests of Yazebu for a period of time.Yishi, the high priest of the Yize Department, and Yaohe, the high priest of the Qingfeng Department, have known each other for a long time. Before Hongyu set off, Yaohe contacted Yishi, hoping that Yishi could refine Hongyu well.

Ji Yan, on the other hand, stayed in the Yaze Department for four or five days before saying goodbye to Hongyu and leaving alone.

Riding a horse, wandering aimlessly, like a piece of duckweed floating in the water, without a fixed place.Ji Yan walked alone for a long time, and occasionally she would miss modern conveniences, conveniences in many aspects.Hongyu taught her how to ride a horse, and she didn't dare to run fast, but just rode slowly from place to place.

Year after year, Ji Yan traveled to many places, big and small tribes, and all kinds of people.However, no matter how far she went, she would always send a token to Sister Moon and Hongyu, which was what she had promised them both before she left.

In a blink of an eye, three years passed by, and she still hadn't found the person she was looking for.

On this day, it was getting late, and when the sky was completely dark, she found the tribe stationed by the water.This is a small tribe near the water's edge, looking for places to migrate every once in a while, called Fie'e.The people of the F'E tribe are not of the same clan. Many of them were ravaged by the war, and because they had nowhere to live, they were torn all over the place. They were finally taken in by the grandfather of Erma, the current patriarch of the F'E tribe.

Gradually, the small mouth area began to be crowded.

Ji Yan thanked the old woman for the cloth towel handed to him, and wiped his dusty face with water.Looking at the reflection of the water in the basin, Ji Yan saw his dusty face.The ancients said that women are the ones who please themselves, but when I came to this world, I forgot that I was a woman.

Wiping off the dust all over her face, Ji Yan changed into the clean dress that the old woman gave her.

The clothing of the Ebu is relatively conservative, not only that, but it is also covered with jingling ornaments, but the color of its clothes is extremely monotonous.

Black and white, other than that, there are only red stars under the skirt.

Open the curtain, and when you go outside, you can see men and women walking towards the large open space in the middle, where a bonfire has been raised, burning blazingly, printing the night of tonight.

The people of Fiebu are hospitable and the folk customs are relatively simple, but some people still look at her with a trace of wariness.A large part of these people have been hurt, hurt by war, and it is difficult for them to open their hearts to outsiders.Ji Yan understood, so he didn't care.

Sitting next to the old woman, Ji Yan listened to her telling ancient legends, which were stories about the gods in the Hongmeng era and the ancient era.As if listening to a story, listening to her tell the legends of the gods, Ji Yan suddenly asked: "Yuanpo, do you know the prince Changqin?"

The old woman nodded and said: "The god of fire, Zhu Rong, loves rhythm. He took the wooden qin from Mt. Yu and made three of them, named Huang Lai, Luan Lai, and Feng Lai. Zhu Rong cherishes the three qins very much, especially Feng Lai. Play it from time to time. The phoenix comes to transform into a spirit, which has a human form and can speak human language. Zhu Rong is delighted and asks the emperor Nuwa to use the technique of drawing the soul to make this spirit a complete life. It is named Prince Changqin. Father and son treated each other with friendship. Later, thousands of years later, there was a black dragon in the south of the human world who did evil and caused public grievances. Master Fuxi sent a fairy to punish him, but he was injured by the opponent, and the black dragon himself fled into Buzhou Mountain. Seeking the protection of Lord Zhonggu, the son of Zhulong. Afterwards, the god of fire, Zhurong, and the god of water, Gonggong and the prince Changqin, were ordered to go to Buzhou Mountain to capture the black dragon. Originally, the prince Changqin was not needed for this battle, but Lord Zhonggu has a particularly weird temper For fear of offending him, he sent the prince Changqin to go with him, hoping to use his piano skills to make Lord Zhonggu fall asleep. Unexpectedly, Zhonggu woke up after all, and the fire god Zhurong's hot temper finally angered Zhonggu. Drum. This battle was fought so fiercely that the three gods made a mistake, which caused the collapse of the Tianzhu of Buzhou Mountain, and the disaster of heaven and earth was almost destroyed..."

"Then what happened to Prince Changqin?"

"There is nothing wrong with the heaven, and the punishment is sent by the sky. And the evil dragon who created everything was also donated by the goddess Chishui as a mount, and there is no freedom anymore. Gonggong and Zhurong went to the abyss in the east of the Bohai Sea to return to the ruins, thinking about it for a thousand years The prince Changqin was demoted to a mortal and lost his immortal status forever. From then on, the heaven got a black dragon mount of a goddess, and lost a fairy who was good at playing the piano.” Speaking of this, the old woman sighed heavily, and said: I don't know how long it will be in reincarnation before I can re-cultivate the immortal way and be in the immortal class."

Ji Yan looked up at the flames of the bonfire, closed his eyes, and murmured softly: "Prince Changqin is demoted to a mortal, and he will never be a fairy. In reincarnation, there are few relatives and love, and the lord is lonely..." These words are extremely Qing, the old woman didn't hear clearly, looked sideways at Ji Yan, and said, "What?"

Ji Yan looked at the old woman, shook her head and said with a light smile, "It's nothing." Then she said, "Yuan Po, you know a lot."

The old woman smiled lightly and said: "When people are old, it is more natural to know. These legends were told to me by my grandmother. My family used to have a relationship with the gods, and many things were passed down from the ancestors. Whether it is true or not, it has long been There is nothing to investigate. It’s just that these legends, I always feel that they have happened before.”

Ji Yan smiled and said nothing.

Looking at the young men and women holding hands and dancing around the bonfire, Ji Yan thought of Qing Feng's family.The people of the Qingfeng tribe also like to be lively, and they always gather at the bonfire every night, singing and dancing.

I don't know what happened to Hongyu and Sister Moon...

"What are you thinking about? Miss Ji." The sassy voice came from behind him, and when he looked behind him, he saw Erma walking towards her with a wine jar.

Erma is a woman and the patriarch of the Min'e tribe. She is very beautiful, her skin is tanned to a healthy wheat color.

Sitting next to Ji Yan, Erma patted Ji Yan's shoulder and said, "Why don't you go dance with them?"

Ji Yan shook her head and declined politely: "I like to watch other people dance." It's okay to dance by myself, she doesn't have this talent, and there were many people who could do aerobics in college before, so it's scary for her to learn how to dance.

Erma smiled indifferently and said, "If you don't dance, can you drink?"

Ji Yan looked at the wine jar in Erma's hand, nodded, and said, "Drink." She is not afraid of drinking, but she is more afraid of dancing and singing.

"Come, drink." Handed the wine jar to Ji Yan.

As soon as the hand received the wine jar, there were children's laughter and unnatural sobs not far away.

Ji Yan squinted her eyes and asked, "Looks like there is crying?"

Erma heard it too, she frowned and said, "Those bastards with itchy skin are going to bully Li Yue again."

"Li Yue?"

Erma said: "He is an orphan in our clan. The name Li Yue was given by his mother when she was still alive. Li Yue's mother was not in good health. She used to be the daughter of the head of a small remote tribe. She was pretty. But you also know that small tribes can easily be absorbed by big tribes, whether you like it or not. Within a few years, Li Yue's mother's tribe was annexed, and Li Yue's mother was taken as a prisoner and moved around several places. The leader of a large tribe. The status of a woman is not high, and being a slave is even more miserable. Li Yue's mother is so beautiful and weak, and she became pregnant with Li Yue not long after. But who is this child? , even she herself didn't know. Later, the chiefs of those big tribes got into a quarrel because of something, a dispute arose, and Li Yue's mother and a group of slaves escaped in the chaos. At that time, Li Yue's My mother has been pregnant for four months, and it was fate after that. She met my father and my mother, and was taken in by us later. However, Li Yue's mother was unlucky after all. She passed away when Li Yue was born. .”

"Since he passed away, no one in the tribe is willing to adopt him?"

Erma didn't speak, but her expression was a little uncomfortable.

On the other hand, the old woman sighed and said: "That child Li Yue is an idiot, no one wants to raise a burden."

"Crazy?"

"Li Yue is in a daze, he can't even speak, and most of the time he just sits on the sidelines in a daze. When he was born, the old priest of the clan told his fortune for him, saying that his soul was out of order, and his fate was rough. It is destined that the six relatives are weak, so no one in the clan dares to adopt him. But Li Yue is just a child after all. The big guy looks pitiful, and he will often bring him some food and clothes to ensure that he has no food and clothing in the clan. Worry." Yuan Po shook her head, obviously helpless.

In this era, superstition is particularly serious. Of course, superstition also has its reasons.

The theory of ghosts and gods is always covered with a layer of tulle, making it look so confusing.

Ji Yan got up, returned the wine jar to Erma, and said, "I'll go and have a look." The crying continued, and Ji Yan followed the crying and soon saw several children behind a tent.

The older ones were nine years old, and the younger ones were five or six years old. There were four or five of them, surrounded by a skinny child huddled in a corner.

The four or five children didn't intend to leave when they saw Ji Yan, but they immediately left when they saw Erma who came with them.

Erma gritted her teeth and looked at them, and shouted: "Those who said you are not allowed to bully Li Yue, be careful and I will beat you!!"

The children ran away laughing, not paying attention to Erma's words at all, and the child who was huddled in the corner was particularly obvious after the other children ran away.

The child looked to be only eight years old, and there was still a big bag of tears hanging from the corner of his eye. His clothes were not old and clean. It could be seen that although the people in the clan didn't care about this child, they didn't treat him harshly.The cheeks are slightly pointed, the skin is fair, and the eyes are bright and shining, which looks very cute.But who would have known that such a cute and normal looking child is an idiot who doesn't understand anything and can't speak.

Walking over, Ji Yan said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

The child stared blankly at Ji Yan, with an aggrieved expression on his little face.

Stretching out his hand to touch Li Yue's head, Li Yue flinched, obviously a little scared of her.Ji Yan lowered his voice, stretched out his hands, and said, "Don't be afraid, Yue'er, Aunt Yan is here, no one will hurt you."

Staring at the woman with a gentle expression and a gentle voice in front of him, Li Yue blinked, and stretched out his hands to Ji Yan after a while.

The smile on his face became softer, Ji Yan hugged him up, and Li Yue wrapped his hands around his neck, burying his small face in her neck.

Erma was a little surprised to see that he didn't resist Ji Yan's approach, but let the other party hug him.

"He is willing to let you hug him?"

"What's the matter? Doesn't he usually like others to get close to him?" Ji Yan asked curiously.

Erma nodded and said: "Of course, you don't know, although Li Yue is an idiot, he is very guarded, and he never lets people get close to him casually. But even so, those little ghosts in the clan I always bully him in different ways. As for me, I have said many times that it is useless to find the parents of those children. "

Patting Li Yue's back, Ji Yan said: "I'm here, no one can bully him." Ji Yan likes children, and he liked them very much before.Now, seeing such a beautiful and well-behaved child, she naturally likes it.Even if he is an idiot, it doesn't matter.

"Where does he live? I'll stay with him tonight."
