"Your Highness the Princess, the high priest is busy with business and cannot meet with you for the time being. How about you two go down to the Qingya Palace and stay for a few days?" Ulan turned to look at Princess Huowu and invited.
"Thank you, Lord Wu Lan. I would rather obey my orders than to be respectful." Princess Huowu said with a slight smile.
After Wu Lan put away the white jade token, he turned around and led the way. Shi Mu and Princess Huowu followed closely behind and quickly disappeared deep into the military camp.
After a while, the three of them were walking on a mountain path that was nearly ten feet wide and made entirely of white rocks. Princess Huowu, who was riding on a wild horse, was still much shorter than Ulan.
Shi Mu was sitting on Sixiang, following Princess Huowu not far away, looking around at the surrounding environment.
"Thank you so much for your timely help today, Lord Wulan, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable." Princess Huowu cupped her hands and thanked Wulan.
"Your Highness, you're welcome, I'm just following orders." Wu Lan waved his hand and said.
"May I ask who ordered you, sir?" Princess Huowu asked calmly.
"Haha, of course it's Lord Yanya, the priest of our Qingya Department." Wulan chuckled.
Princess Huowu didn't show any surprise when she heard this.
The ferocious barbarians and the peaceful barbarians have always been at odds with each other among the barbarians. Just now, she guessed that the other party belonged to the blue tooth tribe of the plain barbarians because she saw the green tooth necklace around his neck.
A quarter of an hour later, under the guidance of Wu Lan, Shi Mu and the two arrived at a platform halfway up the mountain, where a small blue palace stood.
Shi Mu and Princess Huowu walked towards the depths of the palace under the leadership of Ulan, while their horses were left outside the palace. Naturally, the barbarian servants in the palace were responsible for taking care of them.
In the green palace hall, a thin old man wearing a blue priest's robe was sitting on the main seat. The aura of a strong man as deep as the sea made Shi Mu and Princess Huowu feel trembling in their hearts when they just entered the hall.
"Huowu of Daqi, I have met the priest Yanya. Thank you for sending someone to help rescue the siege." As soon as Princess Huowu entered the hall, she immediately stepped forward to touch her chest with one hand and bowed with barbarian etiquette.
Shi Mu also followed Princess Huowu and bowed with his left hand on his chest.
Ulan stepped forward directly, handed Princess Huowu's messenger token to Priest Yanya, and then stood respectfully behind him.
"You're welcome, princess. Please take a seat, please. I did this because I didn't want the conspiracy of the fierce man and the sea tribe to succeed." However, the Yanya priest did not check the white jade token in his hand, and waved to the two of them.
, said with a slight smile.
"Sea Clan?" Princess Huowu heard this and raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"The princess may not know yet. As early as seven days ago, the newly famous Saint Xiangzhu of the Hai Clan has brought a team of envoys to White Horse Mountain, and invited our tribe to join forces to deal with the human race in the name of the Hai Clan. So.
We, the priests of the eight major tribes, were summoned by the high priest to gather at the Holy Mountain, and that is why we came here for this matter." Priest Yanya once again told a shocking news.
Princess Huowu's expression changed.
Once the Hai people join forces with the barbarians, the Three Kingdoms will be attacked from both sides, and the situation will be very bad.
"Sir Yanya, given the relationship between your department and the Hai Clan, I'm afraid you won't agree." Princess Huowu quickly calmed down and asked directly with a twinkle in her beautiful eyes.
"Haha, I didn't expect the princess to know a lot. Yes, our Qingya Tribe is one of the four plain barbarian tribes. Like the other three tribes, our place of residence for generations is close to the East China Sea. We have a lot of hatred towards the Hai Tribe, so naturally we don't want to
We have joined forces with the Sea Tribe." Priest Yanya glanced at Princess Huowu appreciatively and slowly explained.
"May I ask, Lord Priest, what do the noble high priests think of the Sea Clan Alliance?" Princess Huowu thought for a moment and then asked again.
"The four ferocious barbarians advocate an alliance with the Sea Tribe, but we, the four plain barbarians, hold a negative opinion. The high priest is still unable to make a decision for the moment. Haha, the princess has come at the right time." Priest Yanya said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord Priest, for your advice. I will definitely try my best, little lady." Princess Huowu was overjoyed and quickly bowed her hands.
"Princess, are you two the only ones in your mission?" Priest Yanya glanced at Shi Mu and asked as if he thought of something.
"That's not the case. At this time, we have to start from the time we set off from the capital of Da Qi..." In addition to the matter about Shi Mu, Princess Huowu told the mission's encounter without any secrets, especially the incident that almost led to the complete collapse of the mission.
The culprit behind the annihilation of the army was the Earth-level strongman of the Sea Clan.
After listening, Priest Yanya frowned and remained silent.
"Princess, the earth-level strongman of the Sea Clan you mentioned is a bit like Zaku, the first warrior of the Fierce Snake Tribe. His weapon is the Dark Snake Whip, and the martial arts magic he condenses is the Green Dark Sea Snake." After a while, Yan spoke.
The tooth priest expressed his speculation.
Shi Mu and Princess Huowu looked at each other after hearing this. Their hearts were filled with fear, but they were both secretly afraid of the scene at the bottom of the mountain just now.
"By the way, there is still a trace of Qingming Qi left in your body. Although it has been suppressed by you temporarily, in the long run, it will eventually become a big hidden danger like a stuck in your throat. I have a Cowardly Yin Pill here that can help you completely eliminate it.
"Priest Yanya took out a wooden box and handed it to Princess Huowu.
"Thank you, Lord Priest!" Princess Huowu looked overjoyed and quickly stood up to take it.
After Princess Huowu chatted with Priest Yanya for a few more words, she and Shi Mu quickly stood up and left.
After leaving the hall, under the leadership of a servant, the two settled in two adjacent stone rooms on one side of the palace.
…
Shi Mu walked around the stone room. There were three rooms inside and outside the room. They were quite large and exquisitely decorated. It seemed like they should be residences for receiving distinguished guests.
Knock!
There was a gentle knock on the door.
Shi Mu opened the door, but Tian Huowu was standing outside.
"Princess Huowu, please come in." Shi Mu smiled slightly and invited her into the house.
"I have said many times that you can just call me Huo Wu. You don't have to call me princess." Huo Wu glared at Shi Mu and said helplessly.
Shi Mu closed the door, smiled, and didn't answer.
The two of them came to the stone room and sat down in the living room. The smiles on their faces faded and they did not speak for a while.
"The Sea Clan actually came to White Horse Holy Mountain at this time. I'm afraid it won't be that simple to form an alliance this time." Princess Huowu showed a slightly frustrated look on her face and sighed softly.
The Sea Clan also went deep into the wilderness this time. Not only did they rush to the Holy Mountain seven days before our own team, seizing the opportunity, but the other party was led by the Saint of the Clan. They were very powerful and powerful, while on the Human Race, only Huo Wu was there.
He and Shi Mu seemed to be alone.
Regardless of which side the barbarians are leaning towards, comparing the strengths of the two sides, the human race is at a huge disadvantage. No wonder Huo Wu is frustrated.
"Judging from what the Yanya priest said, the barbarians are still arguing about this matter, so we may not have no chance at all." Shi Mu glanced at her and persuaded.
"I hope so." Huo Wu nodded when he heard the words, his face slightly brightened.
"The meeting is complicated. I promised Brother Shi to ask the high priest for the totem secrets of the Fierce Snake Tribe. I'm afraid I have to put it on hold for the time being. But I will definitely mention this matter to the high priest at the appropriate time." Huo.
There was a hint of apology in Wu Mei's eyes, and then she said with assurance.
"Princess, just remember this matter. It won't be too late to talk about it after the talks are concluded." Shi Mu smiled slightly and said noncommittally.
"Brother Shi, don't worry. I, Huo Wu, will keep my word and will do what I promise." Princess Huo Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Thank you very much, princess." Shi Mu nodded.
Princess Huowu did not stay here for long, and quickly left, looking rather hasty.
Shi Mu sent Princess Huowu away, returned to the bedroom, and sat down.
His current external identity is just that of Huo Wu's bodyguard, so he can't help at all with the talks. Moreover, there are people from the Fierce Snake Tribe here on the holy mountain, which makes him a little more wary, and he dares not to act rashly.
Shi Mu took off his upper body clothes. The python totem on his chest was now covered with a layer of faint blue light. There was nothing unusual about the python totem.
Seeing this scene, he felt relieved.
Judging from the situation just after going up the mountain, the man from the Fierce Snake Tribe did not notice the cursed totem on his body. It seems that the blood of the One-horned Viper is quite effective at covering up the totem curse.
Shi Mu put on his clothes, with no sign of relaxation on his face.
In the days that followed, Princess Huowu's behavior became quite mysterious. She was basically absent from her residence all day long. She frequently met with some important people in the common people and rarely appeared in front of Shi Mu.
Shi Mu has been staying at his residence these days, rarely going out. Except for a few barbarian servants who take care of daily life, he has never seen anyone else.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and everything seemed peaceful in the entire Holy Mountain, with nothing unusual happening.
Shi Mu gradually felt relieved and walked out of his residence.
There seemed to be no guards near the main hall where he and Huo Wu lived, and there was no one everywhere.
Shi Mu quickly arrived at the entrance of the hall and was about to walk out.
"Ah, you are the Stone Warrior of the Human Mission, right?" A young voice came from the side.
Shi Mu turned around and saw a barbarian young man who looked like he was wearing a blue sacrificial robe walking from the side of the hall with a smile on his face.
"I am Shi Mu, who is your Excellency?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Haha, my name is Min Tu, and I am a low-level priest of the Qingya tribe. Lord Yanya knew that the Shimu Warriors were walking around the Holy Mountain, so he sent me to be a guide. Many places in the Holy Mountain are closed to outsiders, and some
There is also a witchcraft formation set up in the place, and it will be quite dangerous to break in without permission." Min Tu looked a little more serious and said solemnly.
Shi Mu was shocked. His whereabouts were being monitored at any time, but he didn't notice at all.
"So that's it. I'm sorry to trouble Min Tu to offer sacrifices. I've heard about the scenery of the Holy Mountain for a long time, and I'm about to take a tour." Shi Mu said with a slight smile on his face without any expression on his face.
His eyes flashed, a ray of golden light appeared, and he looked around.
His body trembled slightly, and his eyes quickly glanced at a corner of the room above his head.
There was a black crystal stone the size of a fist inlaid on the wall there, emitting a very faint light and a faint fluctuation of mana. If it weren't for his pupil power, he would not have noticed it at all.
"It turns out this is used for surveillance..." Shi Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're welcome, Warrior Shi Mu." Min Tu's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and he took the lead in leading the way.
Min Tu seemed to be quite interested in Shi Mu, and his attitude was very good. He took Shi Mu around with almost enthusiasm.
The temple architecture on the Holy Mountain is full of the rough and bold style of the barbarians, which is very different from the human architecture and has its own flavor.
While Min Tu was taking Shi Mu around, he explained some allusions that could be told in every hall, every building, and even every mural.
Min Tu seemed to be very curious about some things about the human race, and asked Shi Mu from time to time.
Shi Mu had his own plans in mind and answered all questions, which made Min Tu have a great impression of Shi Mu.
