Chapter 5 Chapter 4 The Peach Blossom on the Water is on the Rise

Princess Yongle was taken aback, and suddenly stopped in her tracks. Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian nobles retreated to the grasslands. Although they lost the world, they did not lose their true qualities of bravery and war.Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia has repeatedly violated the border and fought countless battles with Ming. Although it can't be said that it is invincible, the defeat of Ming is frequent, and the soldiers are afraid of it.But how could the Mongols attack this little-known village at this very moment? Could it be that the princess came here to offer sacrifices to heaven, but the Mongols found out about it?

Princess Yongle panicked for a while, and she couldn't think of any ideas in a hurry, suddenly saw yellow dust rising from the ground around Tianshou Village, disturbing the sky for a long time, covering the sky.The sounds of countless horses neighing and swords clashing came from all directions. It was still a buzzing at first, but later it was overwhelming and deafening.I don't know how many people there are! The faces of all the generals changed drastically, and they glanced at each other, and they all saw that the other's face was extremely pale.But they are elite soldiers who have fought many battles. Although they knew that the number of incoming enemies was more than ten times that of theirs, they still remained calm and shouted: "Protect the general!"

All the generals agreed in unison, and formed a neat square formation, surrounding the princess and the middle officer, with their swords facing outward, ready to defend against the enemy.Hearing the sound of the horseshoe shaking the ground getting closer and closer, everyone felt uneasy, not knowing how long they would be able to defend. Princess Yongle was even more anxious, she couldn't help asking: "What should I do? What should I do?" Suddenly, a group of cavalry rushed into the long peach blossoms, swept past like thunder, and disappeared on the other side of the peach forest.

But in this short span of time, the hundreds of Ming soldiers in the southeast formation have become corpses, soaked in blood, dyeing the peach blossoms all over the place even redder. War is cruel and fast, brutal and clean. Princess Yongle exclaimed, when did she, who is used to living in the heaven and earth, see such bloodshed?The stuffy wind blew past, bringing with it a thick, wet and hot breath, and Princess Yongle couldn't help but vomited out with a wow. She couldn't stay in such a purgatory-like scene for a moment longer! The peach blossoms are dancing, but they are more colorful.Outside the peach blossoms, nothing can be seen, only the noisy sound of horseshoes, louder and louder, louder and more urgent, as if stepping on everyone's heart.This invisible pressure is more terrifying than real swords and guns.The princess couldn't help sobbing softly.

She suddenly thought of the ancient well and the real dragon flying in the well. She was born in the royal family and was also a dragon son. She turned around and ran towards the ancient well. Hiding in the well was the only way she could think of.What's more, when the real dragon appeared during the sacrifice just now, it must be auspicious from heaven, and he will definitely not sit back and watch her dragon son face difficulties and ignore them! She ran to the well and jumped down. Xiluan was taken aback, and shouted: "No!" He hurried to the well, tapped his toes, and his shadow moved with him, falling into the well like a light cloud.

As soon as she entered the mouth of the well, a gust of cold air rushed towards her face. The princess felt that she was falling rapidly in the narrow well, and the sky was reflected at the bottom of the well, showing a shining circle, motionless, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open, waiting She cast it herself. Inexplicably, she suddenly felt a burst of fear.At this moment, the light of the silver armor flashed, and she was grabbed by one hand, and the downward trend slowed down immediately. In this dark well, the silver armor on Xiluan's body shone with a mysterious light, which actually illuminated the entire bottom of the well.

The bottom of this well was originally a spring, but the villagers built a cover on it for the convenience of getting water, so it became a well.Therefore, although the mouth of the well is small, the bottom of the well is huge. Xiluan supported the princess in his hand, tapped his toes lightly on the water surface, slid away like flowing water, and stood on a big rock at the bottom of the well. From here, the sky over the mouth of the well can no longer be seen, only the skylight reflected on the water, like a gently shaking moon. The princess was blessed in her heart, but she didn't dare to call out loudly, she said softly, "You are not Xiluan!"

"Qi Luan" smiled faintly, but did not answer.Her face was reflected on the water, quiet and peaceful. What the princess saw in a trance was not the little maid in military uniform, but the Shuiyue Guanyin standing quietly in the Da'an Guo Temple. A soft and peaceful voice softly echoed from the bottom of the water: "Of course she is not Xiluan." The princess was startled, and saw a string of huge bubbles bubbled up in the center of the well, and a group of extremely messy water plants rose from the bubbles, bright green and very conspicuous.Those aquatic plants squirmed with the water foam, as if they had snatched the power of life from the well water, and were constantly growing.

That dense green looked extremely disgusting, Princess Yongle couldn't bear it anymore, bowed her head and retched. Suddenly, two heads turned out of the water plants, and the four eyes were fixed on the princess.Princess Yongle couldn't help but exclaim! The two heads seemed to enjoy her fear very much, and a smile appeared at the corner of their mouths.Those are two extremely glamorous faces, delicate and delicate, these two faces were born on the same body.It is like the flower of life carved by the most dexterous hands with a lifetime of painstaking efforts, but it just grows on a withered and ugly vine.The previous water plants are the hair of this two-headed monster.

The weirdo stretched out a pair of withered arms, holding a pitch-black arrow tightly. The arrow is less than three feet long, but the blackness on the arrow seems to be condensed by the darkness of the darkest night, making people feel chills just by looking at it, as if even the soul will be swallowed by this arrow. A similarly pitch-black snake was tightly carved and wrapped around the body of the arrow. The triangular snake's head outlined the shape of the arrow, and the fiery red snake letter formed a point on the arrow's tip.Reflecting the sparkling light in the well, a ray of brilliance kept moving along the body of the snake, as if the snake was alive and might jump up from the arrow body at any time, devouring all the light and life.

The arrow nestled against the strange man's chest, and the faint light disappeared from the mouth of the snake, as if absorbed by the arrow, and then turned to the dead branch-like body of the strange man.The twin faces breathed long and hard, as if they were dependent on the handout of this arrow, and once removed, could no longer continue her fragile life. The thick, water-weed-like hair grew slowly the moment it emerged from the head, and spread out, almost covering the entire water surface.The other head opened its mouth, but there was an extremely hoarse and unpleasant voice: "Because she is the Yuezhu Acacia of Huayin Pavilion, naturally she can't be Qiluan!" The princess was stunned, she had never heard of Huayin Pavilion, Yuezhu, etc., she only cared about one thing: "What happened to Qiluan, Qiluan?" Xiangsi smiled faintly: "She is still in Doulao Palace, being her fairy, I just borrowed a few things from her." She turned to the monster with a hint of hatred on her face: "Sunday! If you hadn't been hiding here How could I pretend to be Xiluan and come here? I will kill you today to avenge Gina!" The head on the right side of Ri Yao sneered slightly, but his voice was extremely hoarse: "Revenge? If Zhuo Wangsun or Yang Yi came before, I might be afraid, as for you..." The smile on the left side of the head was much softer, like a smear of red spreading from the peach blossom: "Don't disturb the Mongols above. I'd like to see how long it will take them to find out that I have long Give them a great gift." She smiled softly, and looked at the princess kindly with her four eyes.But the princess felt a chill from the bottom of her heart—could it be that all of this, from the very beginning, was a conspiracy from beginning to end? Could it be that the real sacrifice was himself? Acacia was speechless, just took out a small bottle from her bosom. It was a bottle carved from sapphire, the jade was extremely thin, and the juice in the bottle could be vaguely seen churning, reflecting a little bit of skylight.Xiangsi said: "You should know, since I'm here, I will definitely be prepared." She spread out her palms, and the jade bottle lay in her hands, like a melting star. Ri Yao's face suddenly changed: "Poison?" Xiangsi nodded lightly: "That's right. As soon as I let go, this well will be poisoned immediately. Sun Yao, you were born with water, so you don't know if you can survive in the poisonous water?" Ri Yao's two beautiful faces changed color slightly at the same time, she held the snake arrow even tighter, and suddenly let out a hoarse laugh: "I underestimated you. However, you were right about one thing, but you were wrong about it." I have done a more important thing. You should also think that it is useful for me to collect the four-day decree desperately!" Xiangsi was startled, the small arrow in Ri Yao's hand suddenly shot out a weak, twisting light, which was a bit dazzling. Xiangsi took a step back subconsciously, in a trance, she actually felt that this arrow was somewhat familiar.This feeling is like a ray of blinding light, penetrating through the accumulation of years of memory and splashing dust all over the place. Ri Yao's laughter was even harsher: "The purpose of my collection of the four-day order is to cast this arrow of Shiva! Only this arrow can open the Le Shenglun Palace on the holy mountain, and let the great gods reappear in this place. The world is coming." She turned her head to look at Acacia, and smiled softly: "Now, I don't need your blood anymore, on Mount Kailash, the blue-haired king will help me open the temple..." The holy mountain is opened, and the gods come to the world? Xiangsi shook her head, as if she wanted to clear the messy thoughts out of her mind. She knew that what made Ri Yao so persistent must be an earth-shattering conspiracy.This day, maybe it is Jiangshan Sheji, this land, maybe it is the innocent people of Li.The suffering of all peoples is already so severe, how can more suffering be imposed on them? She sighed softly and broke the jade bottle in her hand. Ri Yao said indifferently: "I no longer need to rely on the holy spring to survive, and Shiva's arrows are enough to nourish my body. Poison, what poison in the world can kill me? It's you..." There was a trace of deep teasing in her eyes, which covered her eyes, and the four beautiful and exquisite eyes became hazy, as if they could see everything that the world couldn't see: "You It is also a gift I prepared long ago, and it was exchanged for the owner of the city in the center of the earth as the price of casting arrows..." She wanted to speak again, but her voice suddenly stopped.Her four eyes opened in surprise at the same time, looking at the deep well water.I don't know when, the well water has turned into a strange blue. Blue as the sky. Ri Yao's face immediately turned sharp, and he said in a squeaky voice, "You... what kind of poison are you using?" A trace of pity flashed in Xiangsi's eyes: "Tianyi Zhenshui. There is nothing in the legend that can cure the poison. Under the whole world, it can only be collected in the Taihao Qingwu Formation." Her words made Ri Yao's body like a dead branch tremble, and the four beautiful eyes were suddenly filled with hatred.Heck, heck, there was a strange sound from the bottom of the well, it was Ri Yao gnashing his teeth tightly. Her hand moved suddenly. The body of the snake on Shiva's arrow suddenly twisted strangely, and the whole ancient well seemed to be shaken by an invisible force. Amidst the bang, a sapphire-like water dragon rose from the water and splashed towards Xiangsi angrily. ! That poisonous dragon, which seems to have been born from ancient times, possesses supreme and great power, and it can smash the world into dust in just a few moments of dancing.Xiangsi was taken aback, she did not expect Riyao to control such a great power! The white shadow flashes, and the lovesickness fades away! Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the panic-stricken princess under the power of this evil spirit. In an instant, she stopped, grabbed the princess' sleeves, and retreated. But at this very moment, the blue poisonous dragon slammed in front of him, Xiangsi's body flew out like a broken arrow, and slammed into the thick stone wall angrily. Her face turned pale immediately, the power of this blow was beyond her imagination, the true energy in her whole body was stagnated and unable to move! She hastily stretched out her hand, and saw little dots on her arm, full of blue light spots. Ri Yao's blow aroused the poison of Tianyi Zhenshui and poured it into Xiangsi's body. For the next three months, she could no longer move her true energy. But Sun Yat-sen obviously didn't feel well either. Huge bubbles shot up into the sky, rolled and sank into the well water.After the bubble disappeared, there was no sign of Sun Yao.This peculiar monster seems to have escaped thousands of miles in an instant through the flow of water veins. The supreme toxicity of Tianyi Zhenshui seemed to have severely injured this mysterious monster in an instant, forcing her to flee. The princess was pale, and looked at the strange blue color of the well water in horror, not daring to take half a step. Xiangsi took two breaths slowly, and sure enough, all the zhenqi in her body was locked up, no different from ordinary people.She didn't want the princess to worry, so she forced a smile and said, "Don't be afraid, the real water is refined from water, and it is water when it enters the water. After a while, it will merge with the water, and it will no longer be the same as water." The fear in the world is extremely poisonous." Although she was seriously injured, her smile was still gentle and serene, which made the princess feel relieved, and sighed quietly: "It would be great if you were really Qiluan!" Acacia smiled lightly and stopped answering.The princess couldn't find anything to say for a while.The two quietly listened to the sound of gold and iron horses above.All of a sudden, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty shouted: "Defend Yuanjun to the death!" Before the words fell, they were drowned out by the sound of flesh and blood. There was another sound of killing and cutting, but it gradually became quiet again.Following the sound of galloping horses, it was obvious that those Mongolian soldiers had rushed into Tianshou Village and were searching everywhere.Someone spoke in bad Chinese and said loudly: "The princess of the Han people must not have escaped far. If we can't find it, we will kill all the people in this village!" Xiangsi's complexion changed suddenly, and she whispered: "Not good!" There was a sound of women and children crying. Obviously, the Mongolians could not find the princess, so they insulted the villagers to vent their anger.Every time there was a cry, Acacia trembled, she obviously lost her composure just now, she stomped her feet suddenly, and said: "No, they are looking for you, we have to go out!" The princess was taken aback and said, "Why? Isn't it safe for us to stay here? They can't find it!" Xiangsi was in a state of confusion, and said: "But those villagers will definitely suffer, and they will kill them all! Let's go out, and I will escort you to escape." How dare the princess take such a risk?Shaking his head desperately, he huddled in the corner of the well, but he dared not go out no matter what. Xiangsi looked at her, and Inoue's crying bursts came, making Xiangsi's heart cut like a knife.She gritted her teeth suddenly and said, "Take off your armor." The princess didn't know what she meant, so she took off the armor one by one.Xiangsi took off the silver armor and changed clothes with the princess.The princess understood what she was going to do in an instant, and grabbed her, her knuckles were pale from the force: "You...you will die!" Xiangsi smiled lightly, and gently brushed her hands away: "If you can escape the danger, think more about the common people in the future." She took off the golden mask, and her delicate face was hidden behind the cold armor. She can't let others see her face. From this moment on, she will replace Princess Yongle and endure all possible sufferings. The princess's body was still trembling, and she was still desperately shrinking herself into the deepest corner, so that she could snatch some warmth and comfort in this ruthless world.But looking at Xiangsi's gradually shrinking figure that was thrown into the light, for some reason, she felt so much grief in her heart that she couldn't stop the tears from her eyes. For the first time, she felt so helpless. Acacia climbed out of the wellhead, the dense fog had completely dissipated, and the morning sun illuminated the entire peach forest. However, Tianshou Village, which is surrounded by peach blossoms, is densely populated with Mongolian cavalry.And, the corpses of Ming Dynasty soldiers. The blood stained the land red, but made the peach blossoms more delicate. All the villagers were driven out, their houses were burning, their bodies were covered with whip marks, and they were tortured endlessly.This paradise hidden in the mountains is about to turn into a purgatory on earth at this moment! Xiangsi clenched her teeth and shouted suddenly: "Princess Yongle is here!" All the Mongolian soldiers turned their heads in unison, and when they saw the gold-painted Xuanguang helmet on Xiangsi's head, they were all overjoyed, roared wildly, left the residents of Tianshou Village, and rushed over from all directions. All the true energy of lovesickness was blocked, but the lightness kung fu was still there, he turned his body sideways, he had already rushed in front of a horse, and was about to get on the horse, dozens of sharp sabers had already struck in front of him. In normal times, she could still take advantage of the chaos and escape, but at this time, she was injured by Tianyi Zhenshui, her true energy was lost, and she couldn't use her hidden weapon. Facing tens of thousands of brave knights, how should they protect themselves? With a soft swish, a long cut was cut in her battle armor by the saber. More weapons flooded in like a tide, rolling up a wave of snow in the sun, instantly dazzled her eyes!
