Several figures emerged from the barrier, led by an old man with a white beard, wearing a gorgeous and complicated navy blue robe, with many exquisite silver ornaments hanging on his body, and special symbols painted on his face.
The old man put his right hand on his chest and saluted Shuli, "The high priest said that there are distinguished guests coming to the door today, I think there must be three of them."
The high priest, the leader of the [Shilan Clan], and the leader of the entire [Shu Mountain], is said to have the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, convey divine words, and predict the future.
The old man who was the leader of the [Liliu Clan] straightened up and looked at the leader Shuli up and down.
The high priest said: The destiny path has changed. The murderer in charge of the Palace of Life and Death and [Shu Mountain] has arrived early. The fate of [Shu Mountain] is unpredictable from now on. The fate of [Shu Mountain] hangs on one word.
There is no doubt about the prophetic ability of the high priest, but this is the first time that a more obvious prediction like this has appeared.
Each of the previous predictions consisted of a few unclear sentences that could not be connected together. Never like this time, the cause and effect were almost pointed out to them.
Could it be that what the prophecy wants to tell them is that [Shushan] will face great disasters and good fortunes this time?
One thought lasts forever, one thought destroys.
The Palace of Life and Death.
The murderer of [Shu Mountain].
It probably refers to two specific people, but it might be one person.
Can.
There are three people in front of you, which two or one of them are you referring to?
"My name is Lunliu, distinguished guests, please." Lingliu, the name passed down after becoming the leader of the [Lilu Clan], made a "please" gesture to invite the three of Shuli.
Shuli raised her eyebrows slightly.
It seems that the people in [Shu Mountain] have anticipated their arrival?
But since the people in [Shu Mountain] treated them as distinguished guests, Shuli was not polite, nodded and walked over.
Meng Tian was vigilant about every move of the people around him, and at the same time recalled the way he came. If an accident happened, he could immediately backtrack and escape.
Qinghe calmly kept up with the pace of combing, but his hand kept pressing the hilt of the sword, and he kept paying attention to the people holding long hair around him out of the corner of his eye.
After passing through the barrier, it is different from the towering trees and canopies that cover the sky outside.
The woods within the boundary are sparse and dwarfed, and a wide and gentle avenue separates the woods on both sides, leading straight into the distance.
Looking a little further, the connected peaks, falling waterfalls, and lingering clouds and mist are just like the peaks suspended in the sky. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere is just like the mansion of an immortal family.
"Wow, the scenery is nice."
Shuli's eyes lit up, it must be nice to live in a place like this.
After walking a few steps inside, the view becomes much wider. Hills stand next to each other. Farming fields have been opened up in relatively gentle sunken basins. In the fields, old farmers are waving sickles.
However, looking at the shape of the tool, it is quite different from the outside world.
As we walked along the mountain path again, we heard the sound of falling water in the distance. Sure enough, a river soon crossed our eyes. Many shirtless children were playing in the river and catching fish, carefree.
consider.
After walking across the wooden bridge over the river, we entered a winding valley and walked slowly along the valley path, suddenly becoming enlightened.
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge red tree, with golden leaves giving off a different kind of light under the sunlight.
The most precious treasure of [Shu Mountain], the Fusang Sacred Tree, is said to be the gate connecting the divine world, the human world, and the underworld. There is a three-legged golden crow flying above it, which can guide people to cross the three realms and realize their wishes. There is a divine dragon guarding it below.
However, Shuli looked carefully and saw no three-legged golden crow. As for the divine dragon, there probably wasn't one either.
The Fuso Sacred Tree is surrounded by a circle of [Yu Yuan Guards] wearing simple leather armor and holding spears.
Under the giant tree, there was a stone altar built around it. On the altar were kneeling a group of people in strange costumes. It seemed that they had sensed the arrival of Shu Li and his party, and everyone slowly stood up and looked over.
"The high priest is waiting for you, please."
As Shuli got closer, she realized that the high priest Lulu was talking about was actually a beautiful girl who looked to be only about sixteen years old.
Wearing a headdress made of silver ornaments, exquisite silver earrings, special patterns painted on the face and forehead that are very different from others, and a gorgeous and gorgeous dress with many hangings.
Little silver jewelry, and a hollow bracelet on her wrist.
"[Shushan] High Priest, Shi Lan, I have met all distinguished guests." The girl named Shi Lan bowed her head slightly and saluted to show respect.
Shuli returned the greeting and said, "Queen of Qin, Shuli, I have met the high priest."
Out of respect, Shuli did not use the [Business Alliance] vest to cover herself.
"Da Qin." There was a low-pitched exchange of sounds from a group of elders behind Shi Lan.
[Shu Mountain] Although it is surrounded by mountains, it does not mean that it knows nothing about the outside world.
The Kingdom of Shu was destroyed many years ago, and some of them tried to rescue them, but were stopped by the high priest at the time, who said: Qin's destruction of Shu was God's will and cannot be violated.
Therefore, in [Shu Mountain], there are also people who are hostile to Qin, but they are not many.
Shi Lan looked at Shu Li quietly. This vague figure that had appeared in her prophecy was such a young woman, and the fate of [Shu Mountain] was actually in her hands.
"Your Excellency has come a long way. I have ordered a feast to be prepared for you. Please come with me." Shi Lan put away her scrutinizing gaze and spoke softly.
Shu Li also dropped her gaze, nodded, and followed Shi Lan.
At the banquet, Shi Lan was at the top of the table, Shu Li and the other three were sitting in the three seats to his left, with the leaders of each clan sitting opposite.
As the last dish of fish soup was brought to the table, Shuli was already filled with various kinds of food filled with various stone pots and plates, which smelled of a unique and delicious aroma.
Raising the wine glass with both hands, Shi Lan looked at Shu Li and said, "Dignified guests have come from afar, so I would like to toast you all with this glass."
Shu Li picked up the wine glass and drank the same drink, then raised her eyebrows. The wine was actually less spicy in the mouth. On the contrary, it was slightly bitter at first, and then became a little sweet, which was quite magical.
"Your Excellency, come all the way, how about visiting our Shushan Mountain?" Putting down the wine glass, Shi Lan suddenly asked a question that didn't sound like a question.
"Beautiful mountains and clear waters, outstanding people, and independence from the world, just like a fairyland on earth." Shuli recalled the scenes of living and working in peace and contentment that he had seen along the way, and replied with praise.
Shi Lan nodded lightly and said, "[Shu Mountain] has been inherited from ancient times. In compliance with the instructions of the Yellow Emperor, it has always lived deep in the mountains and ignored worldly affairs. I wonder what you are here to do?"
"I have a friend who is unconscious due to a strange poison. Since [Shu Mountain] has a long history, he came here to seek treatment."
"[Jingmu Clan] uses good medicine to cure the disease." Shi Lan turned her head and looked at an old man, "I wonder if I could trouble Elder Jingmu to go there in person."
After Shi Lan finished speaking, an old man wrapped in a turban touched his chest and bowed to Shi Lan, accepting the order.
Shuli frowned slightly.
He agreed to help so quickly and even asked the clan leader to personally take action. Why did he feel that Shi Lan didn't want them to stay in [Shu Mountain] longer?
