In the morning in the territory of the Shenhuo Clan, the coolness of the night has not yet receded. The sunlight that seems to be hotter than elsewhere has shined through the sparse branches and leaves barely covering the top of the head, shining on the mottled forest grass. [] There is a hint of heat.
Emitting from the ground in the grass, like the sun's rays in the sky, slowly increasing in heat over time, the crystal dewdrops in the grass are evaporating rapidly, and they accumulate in the forest after a night of accumulation.
The moisture also disappeared quickly, and the originally extremely thin miasma fog quickly faded until it disappeared. Although it was southern Xinjiang, there was no rain forest scenery like the Puppet Li territory.
The prince and others had something on their minds. After a night of tossing and turning, they got up very early that day. When they walked out of the cave, they saw that Longma, Xiaobai, Yinbiao, two birds and two beasts had been waiting at the entrance of the cave for a long time. The three of them were waiting at the entrance of the cave.
They stood looking at each other, their eyes were slightly bloodshot, and it was obvious that they had not slept well all night. The prince felt anxious in the morning when the territory of the Shenhuo Tribe was very different from other places. But although he also knew how to kill the Jiuli Demon Tribe
The matter was imminent and could not be delayed, but before it was absolutely necessary, he still did not want to turn against these honest and loyal Shenhuo tribesmen in front of him. Moreover, with the cleverness of the prince, he had already learned from the expressions of the Shenhuo tribe chief Liuhuo and the great wizard Yinghuo yesterday.
I saw a clue in it, and knew that the reason why they were unwilling to hand over the divine tripod was not necessarily because they were hiding their secrets, but probably because of some unavoidable reason. I thought that as long as I could be careful in my words and deeds, and be kind to each other,
Even if Liuhuo still refuses to give the divine cauldron as a gift, as long as he is willing to tell the real reason, then with the abilities of himself, Yueshang, Fengyi, Longma, Yinbiao, the two divine beasts and the divine bird Xiaobai,
It shouldn't be a problem to help the Shenhuo Clan solve some things that are very difficult in the eyes of ordinary people. Maybe Liuhuo will be happy and hand the Shending to him. Thinking of this, the prince whispered his thoughts to the two
The first girl said, and the second girl was helpless at this time, so she nodded in agreement. The three of them got up together and walked towards the cave where Liuhuo lived.
The three of them took their respective mounts all the way to the entrance of Liuhuo's cave. They did not dare to break in without permission. They just smiled apologetically and asked the guards outside the cave to come in and report to Liuhuo. Then the three of them lowered their heads and respectfully walked in the cave.
Waiting outside.
Not long after, I heard the sound of footsteps in the cave, with Flowing Fire in front and Firefly behind. Both of them walked out with gloomy faces and haggard expressions. When the prince took a peek, he saw that the two men had the same eyes as him.
They were red and bloodshot, and it was obvious that they had not slept all night. When they walked out of the cave, they just nodded slightly to the prince and other three people who came forward, but did not speak. They just waved slightly to the three people, and then took a big step forward.
OK, facing the rising sun, we walked out of the forest.
Seeing the solemn expressions of the two men, the prince and others didn't hesitate to ask more questions, and immediately followed them without saying a word.
The group of people came out of the woods and walked along the red sand filled with hot steam. They saw Liu Huo and Ying Huo in front of them, walking very fast. After a while, they headed towards the low sand dunes that stretched across the field.
Climbing away, the prince and others followed. This sand dune is the same as elsewhere, covered with dark red rocks and gravel. Because of the sparse vegetation, the exposed rocks above have been weathered and riddled with holes, and the texture is loose. People walk on it.
On top of it, large pieces of gravel and sand flowed down from time to time, making rustling sounds, and large red smoke and dust rose up. The sound of sand and stone rubbing against each other was carried by the hot wind blowing in the face, and could be heard in the vast wilderness.
Extremely far away, coupled with the unobstructed sunshine in the sky, a sense of dryness that seems to be substantial penetrates into the heart, making people feel unbearably irritable.
Liuhuo and Yinghuo had lived here for a long time and were naturally very familiar with the terrain here. They walked with vigorous steps and were very fast. Although the prince and others were said to have extraordinary martial arts, they could only barely keep up.
The sand dune was not high, and everyone had reached the top of the mountain in a short while. The two Liuhuo people stopped on a flatter rock, still without saying a word, but silently raising their hands to signal to the prince and others who came after them, and then raised their hands with
Pointing towards the bottom of the sand dune. When the prince and others looked up, they saw a sparse bush in the distance below. The yellowish bushes were dotted in the vast wilderness, showing a mottled and desolate scenery. A group of sacred fires
Tribal women were hurriedly walking through, picking something from the bushes. At this time, the sun in the sky was gradually showing its power, and the low bushes could hardly block the sun. All the working women were sunburned.
Sweating like rain, crystal beads of sweat rolled down from his dark cheeks and dripped on the dry land under his feet. Although they were very far away, the prince and others seemed to be able to hear the sound of sweat beads hitting the sand.
However, in such an arid climate, there are obviously not many fruits in the bushes. Although the women of the Shenhuo Tribe are constantly running and working, judging from the few piles of fruits piled in the clearings of the bushes,
, obviously the harvest was not big. Only then did the prince and others realize the hardship of these Shenhuo tribesmen living in this barren land, and they couldn't help but feel pity. A melodious and sweet song sounded in the bushes, quiet and lingering,
Just like the clear spring in the mountains, flowing slowly between heaven and earth. Like the solitary purity of the spring moon, the loneliness of the orchid valley, it is the eternal beauty of self-admiration, dancing on one's own in the vast wilderness...
It seems that the hot weather and hard work have no impact on these simple and passionate women of the Shenhuo Tribe.
The singing stopped here, and only a hoarse and high-pitched man's voice could be heard from behind the mountain ridge in the distance. The singing was desolate and rough, full of vicissitudes and sadness, but it was as full of emotions as the barren and thick hot land under our feet.
Tolerance, compassion, and full of deep-rooted tenderness. Everyone standing on the sand dune listened to this heart-stirring sound of nature, and everyone was moved. Liu Huo and Ying Huo also showed a hint of love on their knife-carved cheeks.
Warm tenderness. Prince, Yue Shang, and Feng Yi are both sweethearts. Appreciating the true feelings naturally revealed in the singing, their hearts are swayed and they are yearning for the world. The eyes that look at each other are also full of love.
affection.
At this moment, Liu Huoyou let out a long sigh, turned back to look at the prince and said, "Your Highness, do you think our people are simple enough? Can they be called hard-working?"
The prince was stunned and immediately replied: "That's natural."
I saw tears flashing in Liu Huo's determined eyes, and he said again: "Then, Your Highness, do you think the life of our clan is difficult compared with other clans?"
The prince looked at the ragged Shenhuo tribesmen under the sand dunes with weathered faces, and pondered for a long time before saying: "With all due respect, the lives of noble people are indeed very different from those of other ethnic groups."
Liuhuo asked again: "In the prince's opinion, why are our people living in such hardship?"
The prince said: "Tong Guang is young and has little knowledge, so it is naturally difficult for him to understand clearly. But in my opinion, the reason why the nobles are in such difficulty is actually due to the harsh climate and lack of products here, not because the tribesmen are not hardworking enough."
Liuhuo let out another long sigh and said: "Yes, everyone in our Shenhuo tribe is simple and hard-working, but it is only because this land is barren and desolate that it is difficult to make a living. But we can neither leave this territory to find another way of life, nor can we change
The harsh climate here is really helpless to say the least.”
The prince and others were a little puzzled. Yue Shang, who was standing aside, couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "What...what is this for?"
Yinghuo, who had been silent until now, took over the conversation: "Everyone, the reason why we can't leave this territory, I think you can guess the reason, is because we have to protect the sacred artifact left by our ancestors, the Zhurong Divine Cauldron here.
.And the reason why this territory has a harsh climate is precisely related to this sacred object that we have guarded for generations."
After hearing this, the prince knew that he had gradually approached an unknown secret of the Shenhuo tribe. He immediately tried to steady his mind and asked in a calm voice: "Great wizard, we only know that this divine tripod was the
How could the artifact that the Great Master Zhu Rong uses to refine evil spirits and benefit the human world be related to today's harsh climate? If the Great Wizard can trust me, you might as well tell us and we may have some solutions."
I saw Yinghuo slightly raising his head, looking far into the sky, with a proud and confused look in his eyes, as if he had been immersed in those long past events, and said in a low and soothing voice: "Your Highness, Yue
Chief Shang, Princess Fengyi, this matter is a long story, don’t be impatient and listen to me slowly."
After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down on the sand dune. Then he looked directly at the prince and said: "Your Highness, the three of you are very human, and you should naturally be extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of various energies in the world. Please calm down and feel it carefully.
Take a look at the sand dune below us, is there anything strange?"
The three of them were all a little confused, but they also knew in their hearts that the other party would never say such words without any reason. So they didn't ask any more questions, and immediately sat down cross-legged, with their eyes slightly closed, their minds introverted, and then they turned their heads.
