Chapter 334: the Life of Young Slave
Seeing your comments, I answered a reader's question about whether Jiu Feng's words could be understood, but later I saw your comments and found that the reason you were looking for was more reasonable and giggled . ~~
So I decided to take this more reasonable reason that everyone suggested: Jiu Feng is higher in rank and spiritual strength, so he can use his spiritual strength to communicate directly with some other humans and creatures with the same high spiritual strength . Later on, there is another reason why people cannot communicate with each other .
Thank you for your questions and suggestions, really benefited a lot, thank you!!!
After a close talk, The Black Water Tribe and The Duo-Na Tribesmen did not travel together, and they would go to Tucheng-Earth City with the selected warriors . The three parties made an appointment to meet in Tucheng-Earth City .
The Obscuri Tribesmen were so grateful to Yan Mo and others that he followed them all the way to the city gate .
Zi Ming wanted to ask their next destination several times, but the Black Earth City High Priest was there . He was afraid that the question he asked would be disadvantageous to the Jiu Yuan people and could only bear it in mind .
He did not know how many times he had peeped at Ding Ning, and it was reasonable to say that such a person who had disturbed him was only good for him . But when he came to his head and thought the man was going to leave, he found that he was in a state of grief when he thought he would never see this man again .
Zi Ming covered his chest . He didn't know what was wrong with him . He wanted to see the man and want to approach him, but he was afraid that he would not even know what he was afraid of .
"Zi Ming, don't look at them . They will go far away . This time, thanks to Mo DRen and Yuan Zhan DRen, all three of our warriors are favored by Wu Shang n.o.bles, and our winter days will be much better in the future . ” Elder Hao looked relieved . "Zi Ming?”
"Ah, I’m here . " Zi Ming walked back to Elder Hao step by step, three times, and asked in a low voice, "The Elder, is the Jiu Yuan really living under the black water river reaches?”
"Oh, what do you say this for?”
"Do you know where the Jiu Yuan is?”
"What? Are you curious about that tribe?
"I, I want to have a look . "
"The Jiu Yuan, I don't know where it is, Mo DRen didn't say when they left . . . Zi Ming? "!"
Zi Ming's face was full of tears, but he didn't know it .
When they got out of the Black Earth City, Ding Fei slightly distrusts the tunnels as he puts a sleigh on the beast: "DRen, we're going out like this?”
Yan Mo directed Dda to wrap the sleeping teenager in animal hide and put it on the sled car . "What else do you want? Announce it to everyone?”
Ding Fei nodded foolishly .
The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu slapped Ding Fei's head and scolded, "Stupid! If I am there, they would like to stay and dare not start a fight in the city .
"Oh!" Ding Fei understood superficially that, like their Priest DRen, they did not really understand the weight of the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu .
"Coming out is coming out, but everyone should not relax . I'm afraid someone will stop us before long . " Yan Mo turned and asked Jiu Feng, who was parked on his shoulder, "Where is Tucheng-Earth City headings?”
“Hey! I'll take you there!” Jiu Feng said, getting bigger and grabbing Yan Mo .
"Wait a minute . " Yan Mo quickly stopped him and said, "We can't go to Tucheng-Earth City so directly, or I'll let out the bone birds . "
Jiu Feng came out of town and remembered that his younger brothers and he had urged Yan Mo several times . This time, he heard Yan Mo say he wanted to wait . The bird was angry . He flew up and pecked Yan Mo's hair and brought down two or three silvery hairs .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
"Hiss . " In fact, the strength is not much, but this is also to let Yan Mo feel minor pain .
"Dead Fat Bird!" Yuan Zhan, who was helping a sled car, put a spear on Jiu Feng and made an action to stab him .
Jiu Feng was wronged and felt even more annoyed . He didn't do hard at all . He used to play with Mo-Mo like this, and he didn't see the Big Two Legged Monster so angry .
"Zhan!"
Jiu Feng cried out wrongly, b.u.mping into Yan Mo's arms and pulling himself into his clothes with little claws .
Yuan Zhan wanted to teach him more when he saw the dead fat bird so close to Yan Mo .
Yan Mo could only grab his hand and explain to Jiu Feng: "you also know that Zhan needs to go to Tucheng-Earth City . Before that Tucheng-Earth City Pries come, we could still choose to go to Tucheng-Earth by choice . But when Tucheng-Earth City Priest arrives, he saw the real strength of Zhan, which is not bad, because he can enter Tucheng-Earth City Temple directly by invitation of the other party, even the later selection is exempted, but . . . Now there's a problem . ”
The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu pointed to his nose and proudly said, "Me . "
Yan Mo helplessly said, "Yes, Tucheng-Earth City Priest has recognized your old man . In this case, it is not reasonable for Zhan to continue to partic.i.p.ate in the latest selection or accept Tucheng-Earth City Priest's invitation . "
The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu nodded . "Yes, Yuan Zhan is your guardian . How could he go to Tucheng-Earth City with me?”
Ding Ning Ding Fei, Dda and Bing slowed down their work, knowing that Yan Mo was explaining not only to Jiu Feng, but also to them .
"So we want to go to Tucheng-Earth City, but we can't take the initiative, so there's only one way . " Yan Mo paused and then said, "Does the Eye Witch Wu Yan not mean that Tucheng-Earth City High Priest is on the way? In order not to miss them, we must not ride Bone Bird, so that we can meet him on the way, but also pretend not to go to Tucheng-Earth City direction . ”
“Hey? And then what?” Simple Jiu Feng childish mind thinks that human beings are very complex .
"Then we'll find the right time for Zhan to act alone . If Tucheng-Earth City Priest really looks at Zhan like that, they'll follow us and see if there's a chance to do it, and we're going to give them the chance to take Zhan away on their own initiative . "
Yuan Zhan frowned, and Yan Mo had told him all about it, but he was extremely upset at the thought that he might be separated from his Mo for some time .
"Then when we find out that Zhan is missing, there is reason to take someone to Tucheng-Earth City, where not only can you rescue your little brother in disorder, but Zhan can also do something in disorder . In that case, even if Tucheng-Earth City finds out that we have taken away their treasures, we have reason to say that they are to pay compensation of their captors, so that we are not thieves and robbers, but the powerful sufferers of compensation, and other cities know that there is no reason to trouble us . Do you all understand?”
"Hey!" Jiu Feng finally understood .
Ding Ning and Ding Fei is full of worship .
Bing nodded, it is worthy of their Priest DRen, he is really thoughtful .
Dda scratched his face and realized that being robbed would also be a good reason to rob back .
The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu shook his head and thinks it is not necessary at all . Even if it doesn't matter what happened, he still doesn't live well till now . Strength is the greatest reason .
Yan Mo, compelled by The Guide had to find ways to stand on the moral high ground, said, "Okay, Jiu Feng, Shifu, now who can tell me where Tucheng-Earth City is? Let's go in a slightly biased direction, not too confusing, so that they won't miss The High Priest and us . ”
Tucheng-Earth City High Priest was not their first wave of guests . About half a day after they left the Black Earth City by sled, they were overtaken by a group of warriors riding the war beasts .
The first discovery was Bing, who was in charge of looking . His vision was very special . Even if the snow and ice covered the whole sky, it was white everywhere, which did not affect his vision at all . Only when the sun came out, he could not look directly at the sun .
"Mo DRen, somebody's chasing us . Look at their leather armor and the war beasts . They're supposed to be the warriors of the Black Earth City . They're fast . "
"get ready to fight!" Yuan Zhan raised his hand, and all three sledges slowly stopped . "Bing be on guard, Ding Ning and Ding Fei be on guard for the priest and Ancestral Witch, and Dda you’re on he sneak attack . "
Dda "Aou", the body turned into a beast in an instant, amazing is that his original black fur turned white, and so on as he got into the snow, it is impossible to tell where he is hiding .
Yan Mo laughed proudly . This is the new ability he developed to help Dda's animal form change the color of his fur with the environment . Of course, this ability does not appear out of thin air . Dda genes had some of this ability, but it is not obvious . It is only under his intentional guidance that the effect is like this now . But it's not known which side of his parents is responsible for this discoloration . Yan Mo speculates that fish genes are more likely .
"Everyone be careful, this is them coming to rob people, but not to rob us of our Chief, but to rob our new members, and I think these warriors will probably give us first courtesy and then start to fight but before that n.o.body start the first attack . "
Yan Mo guessed again that nearly fifty warriors, led by King Wu Shang himself, rushed to the Jiu Yuan people .
Bing reminded him again at this time: "There are still a group of people coming along, not far away . "
"You guys, don't start fighting . I'm The Black Earth City's Lord . I came after you to make a deal with you . " King Wu Shang's voice came from afar .
Yan Mo was a little surprised . He expected someone to catch up with him, but he didn't expect that King would be coming . It seemed that the teenager's life was a little more complicated than he had imagined . Think about it, he went to Ding Ning and Ding Fei's sleigh and woke up the sleeping teenager .
When the teenager opened his eyes and was about to speak, Yan Mo raised his finger . "Shh, listen first, don't talk . "
The teenager did not know why, but nodded obediently .
Yuan Zhan motioned Bing to lay down his bow and arrow .
But they dare not lay down their shields .
As the two sides approached, Yuan Zhan stepped down from the sled car, deliberately submerged his feet in the deep snow, and stroked gently on the frozen soil beneath the snow - a reminder from The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu that it is best for the earth warriors to always have a part of their body in direct contact with the earth .
"Boom!" A m.u.f.fled noise .
The ground was cracked, and suddenly a crack of one meter wide was formed, and the cracks continued to grow .
The Black Earth City warriors were shocked and pulled back the war beasts .
Yuan Zhan does more than deterrence . The most important thing is that he does not want to be close to them . If these warriors turn to stone and if they are close to them . Bows, arrows, fire and knives will not be of much use to attack against them . Even if they are buried with soil, they will not die at once, but his strength is not yet accurate enough to let which land had to be collapsed before as a preparation, therefore, in order not to let Yan Mo and others suffer from the hardship of defending, he simply put the wide gap to stop the melee before it happened .
The crack did deter The Black Earth City warriors .
King Wu Shang laughed three times and stepped out of the encirclement of the warriors . “We are the blood of the G.o.ds of the earth, but your ability is much stronger than that of Wu Shang . ”
Yuan Zhan's face was expressionless . "It's true . "
King Wu Shang's face became stiff . He probably hadn't spoken directly with the savage tribe for a long time, and he was not adjusted to Yuan Zhan's directness .
"Say, is there anything you can't say in town that you have to catch up to us?” Yuan Zhan is not euphemistic, but he is not in the mood now .
The warriors behind King Wu Shang were very angry, but King Wu Shang waved his hand to him in secret . This time he came out personally to try not to use force to solve the problem .
"Zhan, wait a minute . Someone else is coming in the back, looks like the Black Earth City . " Yan Mo also got out of the sled car and walked slowly to Yuan Zhan .
Yuan Zhan reached out and pick him up in his arms .
Yan Mo tolerated it . This man can't leave him for a moment these days . He's sick! The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu also said that his situation was normal and restrained . It was said that people who had previously been cursed by the same kind of curse would lock up their loved ones directly and n.o.body could see them .
King Wu Shang, opposite the crack, also heard what Yan Mo said . He heard that another group of the Black Earth City people came after him . He was so angry that he clenched his fist and his whereabouts were leaked .
"Brother, brother, we came to help you!" far away, the voice of Wu Shang Que came .
King Wu Shang closed his eyes, this xsshole!
He didn't want to wait for that stupid b.a.s.t.a.r.d to come over . King Wu Shang accelerated his voice . "Curse-Witch Zhou Wu DRen, the Jiu Yuan, I heard that you took a slave from the city . Maybe the servant didn't tell you clearly that the slave's mother, I used to be very fond of her, and I promised her that I would take good care of her son, and find a suitable opportunity to help him out of slavery in the future . During this period, I have been discussing with the temple to let the child enter the temple as a servant, but the child has not been able to awaken any ability, the High Priest is not very willing, and I had a hard time to say the High Priest, but found that the child was sent to you as a slave by Que . . . "
King Wu Shang continued apologetically, "Although it is a good thing that he followed you, I promised his mother to take good care of him, and the temple has agreed to let him be a servant . If you would like to give this child to me, I would like to give you 10 beautiful slaves or 10 2nd rank Yuan-coins . "
A young slave exchanged ten 2nd rank yuan-crystal coins, which were not suitable for a slave, but were extraordinarily high .
Yan Mo turned and asked the teenager lying on the sled car, "You heard that . Do you want to go back with your old King?”
The teenager reached out and sat up with Ding Ning and Ding Fei's help . He shook Yan Mo's head forcefully . "No, I'm not going back . " He is not a fool . Where does the value of a slave come from to make His Majesty King personally bring people to trade, or trade ten 2nd rank yuan-crystal coins for a slave?
Yan Mo turned around and apologized to King Wu Shang with a smile . "Your Majesty, you heard that the child didn't want to go back with you . I think it's all right to make this deal . We, the Jiu Yuan, are not short of yuan-crystal coins . "
King Wu Shang scolded in his heart and regretted very much .
When Queen was jealous, she could not see the slave alive . He had to move the young child out of the king's palace to the Queen's unseen Outer Palace . But as long as the child is still alive, he doesn't want to care too much and he put him in the fourth place servant, just n.o.body will doubt it .
He regretted not that he did not care about the child, but that he had not been cruel enough . He should, like his father, put the boys and girls who were born as sacrifices directly into the secret prison of the palace, and wait until the time came to restore their ident.i.ty and send them to the sacrifice .
People may wonder where these elder males and daughters came from, but as long as Wu Shang's blood was introduced as a sacrifice, as long as there was no doubt in the temple, as long as the sacrificial ceremonies were held every 30 years normally, as long as the walls of the Black Earth City were still strong, people would not think too much, they would even be happy to see those men and women flowing with Wu Shang's blood burned to ashes by fire .
The sacrifice of the slave son is already the consensus of Wu Shang's blood vessels and shrines . The temple knows what they are doing, and silently, he has committed them to this behavior . After all, who is willing to let his own eldest son and eldest daughter live to 30 years at most? If the feeling of father child is deep, they will be even more reluctant to kill their own children .
So the first thing that almost every Wu Shang's blood of ascending to the throne of the city Lord did was to find some beautiful slaves, give birth to their elder boys and daughters, and then imprison those slaves children, so that no one could contact them . As the lord of the city, he would not visit them, so that when the time came for these children to be sacrificed, he would not be distressed .
They are not afraid that their children will die halfway, because Wu Shang's eldest son and eldest daughter, whose blood is sacrificed as a sacrifice, really seem to have G.o.d's blessing . So far, no one has died, no matter how tortured they are, they can live to the day when they are sacrificed .
He's still too soft-hearted . King Wu Shang thought that he had given his elder male and eldest daughter the chance to live freely . Although they were still slaves, they were happier than those who were not able to speak and were raised in the eternal dungeons .
King Wu Shang thought a lot in his mind, but his response was not slow at all: "Are you Mo DRen? I heard your name . I heard that this child was saved by you . Thank you for your kindness . This child is really important to me . If you are worried about his coming back to the Black Earth City, I can a.s.sure you that when he returns, he will immediately be released from slavery and enter the temple as a servant, and I will have him taken good care of .
Yan Mo turned his head again and asked the teenager, "Moved? Is it tempting? For the last time, would you like to go back? If you want, I don't want any yuan-crystal coins, you can go with your majesty now . "
The teenager bit his lip, shook his head again, and his expression was even more firm than before . "No, DRen has given me to you . I am the Jiu Yuan people now . I don't want to go back to the Black Earth City . "
"Even if you go back and you may become a prince?”
"Ha?” Ding Fei opened his mouth . Ding Ning looked at the teenager and looked at the King Wu Shang, feeling what he saw .
"Is King Wu Shang's child a slave? He was tortured all over and almost killed by a servant?” Ding Fei was shocked .
The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu patted him on the head . "Son, you know too little . There are so many cruel things in the world, that parents eat their newborn children directly . "
King Wu Shang's face changed . Who leaked the secret?
No, n.o.body knows the secret except him and Queen . How did the old witch know that?
By the way, he's a witch . It's not surprising to see the bloodline of the teenager .
"Prince? Brother, did I hear you wrong? This little slave is your child?” Wu Shang Que finally arrived, just to hear the last few words .
King Wu Shang glared at Wu Shang Que who had come after him . After seeing Wu Shang Gao behind Wu Shang Que, he was really angry . "Third brother, why did you follow him?”
Wu Shang Gao, embarra.s.sed and overwhelmed, said, "I heard Fourth brother say you were in danger, and I came out with him . "
"Hehe, Third brother you should thank me . If I didn't take you together, you wouldn't hear the big secret . So our Majesty's King has two sons . No, Wu Shang's first child must be a boy, and the second child must be a girl . Where is another girl?”
Wu Shang Que first satisfied, then frowned, and finally came to the conclusion that "the first son is here, Third brother, maybe one of your female slaves is the eldest daughter of our King . "
"Wu Shang Que!" King Wu Shang roared . "Don't meddle in this matter . If you don't understand it, you can ask the temple . They will give you an answer . "
Wu Shang Que roared back, "Don't use the temple to silence me . What do you mean by hiding your eldest daughter?”
Wu Shang Gao secretly pulled Wu Shan Que . His face was intertwined with embarra.s.sment and pain . Even he could hear it . Why didn't the Fourth brother hear it? Can this kind of thing be discussed in public?
Although the eldest sons and daughters are pitiful, they have always been like this, and there is nothing he can do to sympathize with .
King Wu Shang said, "Thank you again for your kindness . Yes, this child is my eldest son and the first Prince of the Black Earth City . Because his mother was a slave, and my Queen was jealous of her, I hid him until now . Now, can you return my child to me?”
King Wu Shang's warriors are very silent . They are all for King's hearts . Even when they hear such a big secret, they are only surprised in their hearts .
The people Wu Shang Que brought were different, and a buzz of comments rang out, many of whom were selected warriors Wu Shang Que had just recruited .
King Wu Shang did not hear how these outsiders and Wu Shang n.o.bles who could only enjoy happiness could know the pain and sacrifice of Wu Shang's blood as the city lord .
The young man's face turned pale . As a native of the Black Earth City, how could he not know the legend of the Black Earth City that King Wu Shang's eldest son and eldest daughter would be sacrificed every 30 years and be put into the flame?
King Wu Shang avoided Yan Mo's eyes and reached out directly to the teenager . "Son, I didn't tell you that all this is a father's selfishness . I just want you to live happier . Now that you know your life, you should also understand your responsibility . There are ten years to go before the sacrifice . I can promise you that when you go back, I will publicly restore your ident.i.ty . You will be the first prince respected by the people of the Black Earth City . Come on, kid, what's running through your body is my Wu Shang's bloodline . You belong to the Black Earth City . I can't let anyone take you away . "
The teenager began to tremble . He did not want to go back . He did not want to become a sacrifice that was bound to die . He was the Jiu Yuan person . He had been sold to the Jiu Yuan by Que Da Ren .
Yan Mo saw the child's look for help and asked him for the last time, "Do you want to go back to hte Black Earth City?”
"No!" How could an abused slave have a sense of loyalty and responsibility towards the Black Earth City people who abused him? No one has ever instilled this in him since childhood .
"Very good . " Yan Mo turned to King Wu Shang and others . “You heard that this kid doesn't want to go back with you, and this kid was given to us by Que DRen before, so he won’t leave our side until after he had finished his debt, and till then he would still be the Jiu Yuan people from now on . ”
King Wu Shang's face sank . "Jiu Yuan people, are you really going to fight for a slave and our Black Earth City? He is my eldest son . How can he go with you? He must go back with me, whether he wants to or not . ”
"Fight? Well, see how many of you can escape alive . " Yuan Zhan Zheng grinned fiercely and pulled the Ink-Murder from his back . Ah, he wanted to kill so much that someone finally sent himself for him to kill . Now his Mo can't blame him anymore, can he? This is not his provocation .
