Chapter 73 Fairy City (2)

Although the incomplete record of the "fairy city" was indeed carved on the oracle bone fragment by the ancients, who can be sure that the few words in it can already be read.

Did the things that have not yet been translated actually exist or are they imaginary?

Otherwise, in order to save his own life, Jiu Xiaohan would not have mentioned these things without warning.

"It doesn't matter! I, the king, will consider it in the long run!" Huangfuan thoughtfully pointed to the front, "We'll be there after walking through this narrow alley!"

"We've walked over..." Jiu Xiaohan's heart tightened again, "Where will we end up...?"

"No need to say more! You will know when the time comes!"

"Yes!" Jiu Xiaohan stopped talking and continued to follow Huangfu An silently.

At this time, in the underground palace, there were only the rustling sounds of clothes scraping against the rock wall and shoe soles rubbing against the bottom of the cave...

One after another, the two of them each had their own thoughts.

The myth and legend that Huangfu An mentioned to Jiu Xiaohan sounded like "catching wind and shadows" at first glance, and it was hard to let go of it for a long time.

He was thinking: What if, with his own efforts, he could really build such a rumored "underground fairy city" in this huge tomb of Emperor Anaconda? There would be no royals, nobility, secular disputes, and no smoke of war.

, there is no disaster or suffering, all living beings are equal, pastoral pastoral... What a beautiful world that would be!

If there was this pure land, there would be no one with the same opportunity as him. Ever since he could remember since he was a child, he had been working hard every day and every night. He was afraid that his elder brother would suspect him of having the right to seize the legitimate heir.

He has to pretend to be sick all year round and cannot be cured after long-term treatment. He is like a "consumption ghost" whose whole internal organs are about to rot. He lives a life that is not human at all and has no fun at all.

Unexpectedly, the eldest brother Huangfu Zhuo, who is the same biological child as Huangfu An, is narrow-minded and jealous. His relationship with the seven brothers and sisters below him is very tense. The one he dislikes the most is his third brother Huangfu An. On the contrary,

, I only like the last ninth brother, Huangfu Yi, who was born as a concubine.

However, Huangfu An, who was seriously injured, saw that the belly of the female anaconda was still bulging, and his distracted eyes slowly moved towards him, as if she was asking him for help.

After waiting for the female anaconda to finally give birth to all the remaining cubs in her belly and regain some strength, she let Huangfu sit on her head and neck and carried him out of the crack in the valley.

In a daze, he actually saw the female anaconda giving birth to cubs and eggs in the nest in front of the tomb from a distance.

Due to an accidental fall into the trap that his elder brother had set in advance, Huangfuan fell unconscious and woke up, and accidentally came to the secret realm of the valley for the first time...

After many diagnoses and treatments by the head of the Ninth World Hall, in the end, in addition to the leg problem of always limping when walking, Huangfu An still suffered from a "hysteria" that seemed to be difficult to eradicate due to that "unexpected" accident.

.

However, even if he is unwilling to do so, he will still be forced to get involved in the invisible wolf smoke of the endless struggle for power. It is said that it is easy to hide from open guns, but difficult to guard against hidden arrows.

Hard to guard against.

In Huangfu'an's view, the ninth brother and his eldest brother have the biggest age difference, and they are born as concubines, so they have a humble status and are not loved by their father. Therefore, relatively speaking, the ninth brother poses the least threat to the eldest brother's right to inherit the throne.

. Even, the eldest brother intends to gradually cultivate the ninth brother as his ally.

Huangfu'an didn't know how he came to the door of Emperor Jian's tomb at that time. Perhaps, like Jiu Xiaohan twenty years later, he happened to catch the crack in the earth.

The man had ordered his two most trusted guards to immediately cover the top of the trap with thick dry branches wrapped in ice and snow layer by layer...until the trap fell to the bottom of the pit.

Huangfu'an slowly closed his eyes until his small body could no longer see even a single ray of light above the round corner.

It is said that a dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of whom are different. What’s more, they are ordinary people!

Originally, he just thought that he accidentally lost his front hooves due to the little love horse under his knees, and accidentally fell into a trap set by a farmer and hunter. However, before he fell unconscious, he subconsciously raised his head

When he went to look, he saw a very familiar figure of a relative in a daze. He was so weak that he couldn't make any sound. He just tried to stretch out his little hand and tried to ask for help from the figure above.

…

Twenty years ago, Huangfu'an was still an ignorant boy, but he had to walk on thin ice all the time and be cautious.

Despite this, Luohe City is well-known as a "feng shui treasure land". The soil is fertile and productive, the climate is like spring all year round, the climate is livable, the scenery is pleasant, there are mountains and rivers, handsome men and beautiful women, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, with ample food and clothing.

Huangfu Ruozhou already doted on his third son who was afraid of falling off when he held it in his hand, and was afraid of melting when he held it in his mouth. However, this time, he lost and found him again, which made him feel even more sad and happy. He was doubly distressed and cared for.

.

That was also the only time Huangfu An saw that huge, seemingly cold-blooded monster shed tears.

In order to endure hardships and save his life, Huangfu'an did use all kinds of tricks to avoid the risk that his elder brother might suddenly kill him. Therefore, at this point, it seems that Jiu Xiaohan has just

The change in his attitude, from uncooperative to flattery, is somewhat similar to his. That's why he treats Jiu Xiaohan a little bit differently.

A few years later, when Huangfu Zhuo was in his weak years, married and had children, Huangfu Ruozhou gave Luohe City, a small subsidiary city under the jurisdiction of Ngee'an County, to Huangfu Zhuo.

Huangfu'an could have kept Jiu Xiaohan in the death row; however, he did not do that. He kind of fell in love with Jiu Xiaohan who could take advantage of the situation. Especially, this quirky little Xiu'er,

And he was always able to say something he had never heard of before, which always gave him a sense of surprise that suddenly brightened his eyes, as if he were like a luminous pearl that could help him illuminate a dark corner in the depths of this underground palace.

However, for Huangfu An, it seemed like a world away.

In fact, Huangfu An only used to be sick to visit the female anaconda during its annual breeding season and accompany it. The female anaconda always remembered his kindness, and sometimes prepared rare and rare treasures that came from unknown sources and gave them back to him.

Huangfu An. It was precisely because of this that Huangfu An gradually fell in love with those goodies. What also made him feel extremely gratified was that the female anaconda was the one who knew how to repay kindness and could also understand people's words.

"Good" monster.

The female anaconda has given birth to seven or eight babies. The young anacondas wrapped in the mucus fetal membrane are like babies about to break through the mother's amniotic fluid. However, their mother appears extremely weak and is covered in body parts.

It was all wet and sticky. Its eyes were slightly closed, and it was panting heavily from time to time, as if its strength was about to be exhausted and its life was not going to be long.

However, Huangfu An never told his father that he was plotted against him by his elder brother and fell into a trap. However, this does not mean that Huangfu Ruozhou will not secretly investigate the cause of the accident.

Immediately afterwards, dead leaves, broken branches and snow pieces continued to scatter above Huangfu'an's head.

Unexpectedly, the man didn't have any sympathy for him. He just stared coldly, looking down at his third brother who was in deep trouble and almost dying. The man wiped a dose on the corner of his mouth.

The intense joy and pride seemed to be congratulating me in advance for my victory.

Therefore, when he saw that the female anaconda seemed to be in great pain and was dying, Huangfu'an thought of his late biological mother empathetically. He pressed down on his roots and forced himself to hold up his seriously injured body and drag his injured body with him.

He used his legs to help the female anaconda get water from the nearest hot spring for it to drink. He also used his own clothes to help it wipe away the sticky sweat on its head and face.

However, the place was indeed very small, almost the same as a small county town. However, when Huangfu Zhuo arrived there and took office as the new city lord, his power was equivalent to the official position of county magistrate in other surrounding counties.

Huangfu'an didn't know how he fell asleep during the flight and closed his eyes. Until now, he had only heard that some people suffered from seasickness and motion sickness. Who would have thought that there are people who can ride horses?

What about those who are obsessed with "anaconda" and fainted by "anaconda"?

However, later, when he was found under a thousand-year-old tree by the people sent by his father Huangfu Ruozhou to look for him, it was already three days and three nights later.

How can I go to work as an errand? It’s so difficult to live like a god every day!

It seemed that in an instant, Huangfu An became much more energetic. He thought to himself that if he was still alive at that moment, he would probably be what the elders call "returning to the light".

Let me ask, who is more pitiful among people with evil hearts? A little water will repay kindness with a spring of water. The love between brothers and sisters is inferior to that of an anaconda, and the courtiers are especially cold on several occasions!

Therefore, ever since Huangfu'an contracted the strange disease of "hysteria" which came and went intermittently, his father Huangfu Ruozhou completely refused to let his eldest son Huangfu Zhuo appear in front of him and his third son again.

This hysteria is strange to say and does not attack easily. Once you see your eldest brother Huangfu Zhuo, you will definitely get sick. Either you will foam at the mouth, twitch your limbs, roll your eyes and faint, or talk nonsense and become crazy.

, hiding everywhere, Huangfu An's self-taught acting skills of pretending to be ill are comparable to the most popular chief courtesan in Ngee Ann County, and he is even more versatile!

The place where Huangfu An hides most often is in the deep forest of this valley. As long as he gets lost and Huangfu Ruozhou can't see others for ten and a half months, it happens from time to time. However, every time Huangfu Ruozhou

They all have to send dead waiters to look for him.

However, this time when Jiu Xiaohan caught up, Huangfu An had been missing for more than three months. Only then did he remember that Huangfu Ruozhou had to offer a high reward to talented people to help find him.

When he woke up, he was still dying, and he found himself leaning in front of the huge rock door of Emperor Jian's tomb. He didn't know what time it was, and he couldn't even determine what his current state was.

Those who are alive are still dead.

Especially, that time when he was a child, around the age of six or seven, Huangfu An followed his eldest brother Huangfu Zhuo and came here to hunt with their father.

Huangfu An, who was less than six years old, had seen with his own eyes that his mother, the wife of the city lord, had had bad luck and died in childbirth not long ago when her younger sister Huangfu An was born.

Of course, at the same time, with the lessons learned from the past, Huangfuan simply "transformed" himself into a "waste" with old injuries on his legs and feet that could not be healed for a long time. Moreover, he would often pretend to be sick, pretending to be sick, but in other words, he was really sick...

…

For a long time, Huangfu An had been helpless because he was the third eldest child, but he had been favored by his father, the lord of Nghe An County, who lived in the border fortress since he was born. He still couldn't understand what his father was doing.

There are so many children, and there are nine children in total. It is not good for the father to choose the one he likes the most, so he has to beg for nothing and only favor himself, right?

Huangfu An even had doubts from time to time, and even had some misconceptions, as if the other eight brothers and sisters were not his father's biological children.

This is indeed the case. I heard from previous mayors of Luohe City that on weekdays, even petty quarrels between neighbors rarely happen in the city. Those government officials and military generals basically have nothing to do.

When we get up in the morning and sign in at the Yamen Post Office, everyone will often go to the fields to help the elderly, weak, and only women, children, and young farmers till the fields, plant vegetables, fish, and catch shrimps.

.

Not knowing where he got his bravery and courage, Huangfu Yi struggled to get up, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and limped toward the female anaconda, forgetting the pain of his fall...

Huangfu'an actually felt that his sympathy was summoned by the rapid and heavy breathing of the female anaconda. He could almost hear it telling him that it was in danger.

I am afraid that Huangfu Zhuo is not going there to be a high official, but to go there to take a ten-day vacation to retire. However, he naturally knows it well. His father must have known that he had treated several brothers back then.

Those unscrupulous and dirty things he had done. This time, the act of "gifting the city" and "promoting the title" of being promoted openly or secretly was regarded as the most tolerant grace given to him by his father. Therefore, he also

May he be able to escape the catastrophe of being sought for revenge.

Huangfu Ruozhou had the same plan: if Huangfu Zhuo knew how to restrain himself and wanted to live a good life, he should understand the truth and accept his kindness, and then he could live on his own terms.

However, on the day he took office and became the Lord of Shangluohe City, Huangfu Zhuo announced to everyone that from now on, he would never return to Ngee An County Government again.

However, no matter how ruthless and violent he is, he is still a man who knows how to keep his promises. Every year, he sends his most trusted envoys to deliver the offerings and treasures to Ngee Ann County on his behalf. Around him, he

There is a reason for not showing up - after all, the third brother will get sick as soon as he sees him!

That's it, that's it...out of sight, out of mind! That's very good, very good, isn't it?
