Chapter 322: Three Souls Combined 3 (Part 1)
Last time we talked about how Jingyao’s grandmother, who is also the high priestess of the Yuezhi tribe, actually took the initiative to ask Li Yi whether he liked Jingyao. Li Yi was at a loss for a moment about this direct question from an elder. So, is our gentleman, Mr. Li, willing to adapt to the local customs and help the Yuezhi people reproduce? Let’s read on together.
Li Yi was almost killed on the spot by the high priestess Granny's question. He looked at Jing Yao who was leaning on his shoulder and holding his arm, and then replied: "Granny, please stop making trouble, this is not appropriate!"
Jingyao asked in confusion: "Why is it inappropriate?"
"Well, because we are relatives."
Jingyao was surprised and said, "Didn't you just say that we are not brother and sister?"
"Um, aren't you Yuezhi people descendants of Chang'e?"
"Yes!"
"Didn't I tell you before? Chang'e is my wife, so you Yuezhi people can be considered my descendants."
Wu Bai asked, "What is a lady?"
Jingyao answered quickly: "He said she was the person he loved the most."
Wubai and the high priestess grandma exclaimed at the same time: "Love?" This shows that love is undoubtedly the most unreliable thing in the world in the eyes of the Yuezhi people.
Li Yi shook his head and sighed: "It's not that my wife is the one I love the most. The one I love the most is Shiyu, and Shiyu is my wife."
"Didn't you say that our ancestor Chang'e was your wife? Why are you saying that Shiyu is your wife now? Who do you love the most? How many wives do you have?"
"Well, to be exact, Shiyu is my wife, but Shiyu and Chang'e are actually the same person. Of course, I love Shiyu the most."
The priestess asked: "You said that Shiyu and our ancestor Heng'e are the same person, how is that possible!"
"I haven't figured this out yet. I guess Shiyu was created by Chang'e using a spell like incarnation or clone. I forgot to ask Chang'e the last time I met her."
"Have you seen our ancestors?"
"Yes, we met in the North Sea. Otherwise, why would I say that Hei Er is trapped in his own trap! He is just waiting here foolishly, not knowing that there are other ways to the Moon Palace."
Wu Bai couldn't help but ask: "Why did Chang'e meet you? What is your relationship with Dayi?"
"To put it simply, I am the descendant of Dayi. I possess his heavenly soul and part of his earthly soul."
Wu Bai was surprised and said, "Descendant of Dayi? No wonder you look so much like Dayi!"
Jingyao muttered, "I see. I was wondering why your spiritual power is so strong, but your soul is not strong enough."
"That's what Sister Weilin said. Hey, do you have any techniques to increase the strength of the soul?"
“Yes, there is, but…” Jingyao turned to look at her grandmother and asked doubtfully, “But our skills cannot be passed on to outsiders.”
"I'm not an outsider. I've already said that your ancestors and I are from the same family, so we are also a family! It's just that the generations are a bit confusing, but we can discuss our own affairs."
The priestess sighed and said, "No wonder the Tengu God sent you to find our guardian god. No one can persuade him except you."
"Yeah, so can mother-in-law take me to see Hei Er?"
The priestess shook her head and said, "It's not that I don't want to take you, but I don't know where the Black Ear God is. We only know that he is hiding in these mountains, but except on August 15th every year, we can't see him."
Jingyao interrupted, "Feishhuang and I just heard the order from the Black Ear God! He told me not to have sex with him without permission."
The priestess was surprised and asked, "Did the Black Ear God personally give you an order?"
Jingyao nodded and said, "Yes! I just knocked him out and was planning to bring him back, but was interrupted by the Black Ear God."
"The Black Ear God has awakened?"
Wu Bai nodded and said, "Father is indeed awake, and he spoke to me before."
The priestess said excitedly: "Wubai, have you forgotten what it means to talk to the Black Ear God?"
Wu Bai finally reacted and turned to look at Jing Yao. The latter asked with a puzzled look, "What does this mean?"
"It means you are qualified to become the next high priest!"
"Oh, it's true!"
At this moment, the priestess and Wubai suddenly stood up and looked in the same direction. When Wubai stood up, he knocked Jingyao and Li Yi to the ground. Jingyao jumped up and punched Wubai like a girl, cursing as she beat him.
However, Wubai simply pushed Jingyao away with his tail, then walked to his mother-in-law's side and stood up straight. The man and the dog seemed to be listening to something, and then they saluted in that direction together.
Li Yi asked: "What's going on?"
“The one who can make grandma and Wubai so respectful must be the Black Ear God. I wonder what instructions he has this time.” After Jingyao finished speaking, she stood with her grandmother, standing respectfully and keeping in sync with her grandmother and Wubai.
In a cave in the valley, Hei Er's two eyes, one blue and one yellow, were like two lamps. He raised his head and blinked, then coughed twice, and the cave fell into darkness again...
Back to Li Yi, the old lady and Wu Bai turned back and stared at Li Yi at the same time, which made him feel embarrassed. Jing Yao asked, "Grandma, what's wrong? Did the guardian deity give you any instructions?"
The old woman said seriously: "Wu Bai and I are going to pay homage to the Black Ear God."
Li Yi immediately held out his hand to indicate that he wanted to go too, but was interrupted by the old woman, who said, "The Black Ear God specifically told me not to take you there! Ayitoludi."
"What do you want, Grandmother?"
"Watch him and make him stay here honestly. He is not allowed to go anywhere. If he dares to run away, you can knock him out."
"No problem! Then we can knock him out..."
"Can't!"
"Oh."
The old woman tapped Wu Bai with her cane, and the latter immediately lay down to make it easier for the old woman to ride on him. Jing Yao was about to step forward to help, but the old woman lightly tapped her feet and was already riding on Wu Bai's back. Li Yi could see clearly that the old woman was not using body skills, but a magic similar to teleportation.
Li Yi was about to ask a question, but he watched the old woman and Wu Bai disappear in front of him. He immediately asked Jing Yao: "What kind of magic was that just now?"
Jingyao took Li Yi's arm and walked inside, saying, "Come on, I'll take you to my cave. Grandmother used a magic circle. This is Buzhou Mountain, and there are many teleportation magic circles. It is said that in order to build the Tower of Babel, the Yellow Emperor had to mobilize labor from all over the country, and these magic circles were set up by the saint Cangjie to send people.
After thousands of years, some magic arrays have been damaged and can no longer be used, but there are still many that can be used. This cave is the center of the magic array. Only the high priest can use these magic arrays. How about my grandmother, isn't she amazing?"
Li Yi asked: "Is the priestess grandma in the extraordinary realm?"
Jingyao nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise how could she live for over a hundred years? But I don't know what rank my grandmother is."
Li Yi interrupted, "Wait, wait a minute, your grandmother is over a hundred years old? You are not even sixteen."
Jingyao nodded: "Well, is there anything strange?"
Li Yi asked: "How old was your mother when she gave birth to you?"
Jingyao asked puzzledly: "In her forties? I don't remember. Anyway, my mother died giving birth to me, so I have been with my grandmother since I was a child. My grandmother and Wubai raised me. What's wrong with that? Is there anything strange about it?" Li Yi shook his head to indicate that it was nothing, he was just asking casually.
At this time, the two walked to another smaller cave, and Li Yi sighed in his heart:
This cave dweller is quite particular. Although the decoration is not very particular, the house is really big, with at least several rooms and several living rooms! Judging from the fork in the road, it is at least an eight-bedroom house, which must be several hundred square meters! Alas, after all, I am still a toad at the bottom of the well, and I have never seen the world!
Li Yi sighed as he observed Jingyao's boudoir. Well, calling it a boudoir doesn't seem quite right. Let's call it a bridal chamber. Well, that's more reasonable. A large white marble bed, more than enough for three Li Yis to lie down!
Recalling the jade bed of Empress Tai'an, Li Yi seemed to understand something. All the arrangements in this cave were built in imitation of the Houtu Cave of Empress Tai'an. It should have been instructed by Hei'er. It seems that Hei'er also admired Empress Tai'an very much.
Li Yi looked at the tiger skin on the white jade bed. This tiger was not small. One skin could cover such a large bed. There were also stone tables and jade stools in the cave. Various animal skins and clothes were stacked in the artificial storage compartments in the rock wall. It seemed that Jingyao would not wear clothes made of other fabrics. She was definitely a fur lover.
Then he looked at the bows and arrows hanging on the wall, the stone basins and bowls on the table, and a jade flute. Li Yi picked up the jade flute. It was made of warm jade, and the workmanship was not simple. Although there were no fancy patterns, the polishing, grinding and perforation techniques were no worse than those made by modern machines. I wonder how the ancients did it.
Seeing that Li Yi was interested in her flute, Jingyao immediately introduced it, "This flute is made in imitation of the windpipe that our ancestor Chang'e gave to Empress Tai'an. Isn't it exquisite?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, it's really good. Can you play it?"
"Of course I will. Why? Do you want me to play a song for you?"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "No need, I have something important to ask you."
Seeing Li Yi's serious expression, Jingyao put down the flute and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Yi asked: "Do you want to see the outside world? In my opinion, you Yuezhi people are imprisoned here by Hei Er, but there is no need for this."
"What's so good about the outside world? Every year, the people who come back tell us the most about how chaotic it is outside and how bad people are. We think it's better here."
"You're right. After all, you live in harmony with nature, and there aren't so many intrigues and deceptions between people. Although life is a little boring, it's also a kind of happiness."
"Boring? Why is our place boring? What do you want that we don't have?"
Seeing Jingyao was unhappy, Li Yi smiled and said, "I didn't say your life is bad, it's just that life is less interesting."
"Taste? We have everything from oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but how come we lack taste! We even have things you haven't eaten yet! Just wait! I'll let you know what taste is!" Jingyao walked out angrily, and Li Yi hurriedly followed.
The two came to the kitchen, and Li Yi saw peppercorns, peppercorns, peppercorns, and cumin in the seasoning jars, and onions in the basket! He instantly became upset. He had been eating tasteless food for so long, and now he had encountered something good. He had to improve his food!
Li Yi asked: "Where did you get these things from?"
"We grew these ourselves, what's wrong?"
"Everything is available except hot peppers and green peppers. Come on, I'll order two dishes, stir-fried lamb with green onions and beef with cumin, and a bowl of noodles! I miss this taste so much!"
"Miss this taste? Have you ever tasted it before?"
"Nonsense, how could you be tempted otherwise! I'll help you cut the onions to avoid the smoke." After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and went to wash his hands. "Why are you looking at me? Go get the beef and mutton! Slice it, and stir-fry it with a higher heat. I like spicy food."
Jingyao carried two pieces of beef and mutton, and cut the meat side by side with Li Yi, watching Li Yi skillfully cut the onion and put it on the plate. The latter laughed and said, "When you are wandering alone, you don't have money to order takeout every meal, so you can only cook for yourself. You are too slow! Forget it, let me do it, I am impatient!"
Li Yi pushed Jing Yao away and said while cutting the meat: "This raw meat is not easy to cut. It's best to freeze it until it's just frozen enough to be able to cut through with one knife. But people who are particular may think that the meat will no longer be fresh if it's frozen. I don't have that much to say." After saying that, he turned his Buddhist energy into energy and condensed his sword energy on the kitchen knife.
