Chapter 284 Holy Goddess Pearl
Chapter 284 Holy Goddess Pearl
On the open grassland near the pass of Hongwan Mountain, a team of several hundred soldiers set up camp and lit a fire. They patrolled around a luxurious carriage. A man and a woman were lying in the carriage. The woman was dressed in rich and luxurious clothes, and the man had taken off his bloody armor and battle robe, wearing only a clean undershirt, and was sleeping beside the woman.
At this time, a guard dressed in black clothes and a black turban came back from his business trip to report.
He stood at the shaft of the carriage, bowed and addressed his princess. The woman stood up, came to the shaft, looked down at him and asked, "How is it, have you found the person?"
The black-clad guard said, "Princess, we have found him. Although he is a little difficult to catch, the princess has sent out all the members of our secret guard camp this time, and there are also more than a hundred officers and soldiers to assist. We will definitely not let him get away this time."
The princess also felt that she would be able to succeed this time. She nodded confidently and said in a nonchalant tone, "Don't kill him this time. Since he is so hard to catch, I want to see what he looks like. I want to kill him myself."
The man in black immediately obeyed the order.
At this time, the princess's personal eunuch was serving with a bowl of soup. When he saw the princess waving for the bowl of soup, he carefully presented the bowl to Princess Wanfu.
The eunuch smiled and said, "Congratulations, Princess, for finding a good man. Princess, you have a way to cure Master Chu. Master Chu wanted to kill you just now, which frightened me. But our princess is resourceful and moved Master Chu's heart with just a few words, so that he can turn back from his wrong path."
Princess Wanfu felt relieved. She drank two sips of the soup in her hand, then handed it back to the eunuch and said, "My heart disease has improved a lot today. Please keep half of this soup for me to drink tomorrow morning."
The young eunuch hurriedly and carefully took it and walked away holding it as if it were a treasure.
Princess Wanfu asked the black-clad secret guard to leave, then turned around to look at the sleeping Chu Yanqiu.
She suffered a lot for this man.
When she was still an ignorant teenager, Princess Wanfu fell in love with Chu Yanqiu, but the goddess had feelings for him while King Xiang was ruthless, and her elder brother Chu did not have such feelings. In addition, as a princess of Beifan Kingdom, she had the mission of stabilizing the family regime, and her parents did not agree with her right to free marriage. Over time, how could this paranoid princess not become worried?
This clever little princess was also a die-hard fan of Chu Yanqiu. She used all means to know Chu Yanqiu's life. She had a perverted prejudice against all men and women around Chu Yanqiu, and could not bear to see anyone get close to Chu Yanqiu. This heavy jealousy made the princess suffer from mental illness. As more and more people had to be deliberately dealt with, the little princess' mental illness became more and more serious, so serious that the little princess worried about her death day and night.
The King and Queen of Beifan invited many famous doctors to treat the little princess, and they prescribed countless folk remedies and strange prescriptions. Until one day, she learned the Zi Xin Soup, which was effective. Especially after drinking the Zi Xin Soup from her rival, the little princess felt extremely comfortable and she came back to life.
Princess Wanfu had a very hard time seeing her lover. She took advantage of the turmoil in the royal family when many sons were fighting for the throne, and left Beifan Kingdom as a mercenary to come to Daju Kingdom.
Princess Wanfu lay down beside Chu Yanqiu again, looking at his sleeping face beautifully.
She took out a round bead from her bodice, and recalled the thrilling scene when she met Chu Lang yesterday. She was still frightened.
Chu Yanqiu suddenly appeared in her tent, covered in blood, pointed a sword at her and asked, "Are you going to kill my beloved wife Shen Wen?"
Princess Wanfu was frightened, not only by his murderous aura, but also by his words "loving wife".
"Beloved wife?"
Wanfu asked in surprise.
Chu Yanqiu then asked: "Are you the officer and soldier sent to Hongwan Mountain? A woman?"
Wan Fu said angrily, "You actually called that Shen Wen your beloved wife? He doesn't deserve it. Don't you think whether he has the fate?"
Chu Yanqiu felt a chill all over his body and raised his sword to chop her.
Fortunately, the master secret guard beside him blocked the sword. More than a dozen secret guards were fighting against him alone, and they were almost killed by him in the blink of an eye.
The young eunuch pulled Princess Wanfu's dress and said anxiously, "My lady, please leave quickly. It is said that Master Chu has been poisoned by the emperor's anger. He only knows how to kill people now. He doesn't even remember who you are, Princess."
After the young eunuch reminded him, Wanfu also remembered this incident.
But it was too late when she came to her senses. Chu Yanqiu's sword was on her neck in an instant.
Although Wanfu was scared, she was still calm. She called out pitifully, "Brother Chu."
Wan Fu said, "Brother Chu, do you still remember your immortal ancestor, Yuchi Ancestor? We both knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the old ancestor when we were ten years old! It was at the Guangming Daochang in Qianfeng Mountain! Brother Chu, you once said that I was the most important person to you, don't you remember?"
The sword on Wanfu's neck loosened. Chu Yanqiu was trying hard to recall that scene. He seemed to remember that little girl.
Wanfu quietly dodged from under his sword, and a statue enshrined behind her caught Chu Yanqiu's eyes. The statue was of the deity Zhang Qingyu worshipped by the Immortal Ancestor.
“Is this really the statue that the Immortal Ancestor worships?”
Chu Yanqiu asked Princess Wanfu.
Princess Wanfu said excitedly: "Exactly! So Brother Chu, you still remember this statue. It was specially given to me by the Immortal Ancestor."
The deity was carved vividly, even the details of his hands on the hilt and the sword in front of him were clearly drawn. There was a small bell on the hilt, which made a sound when the wind blew by.
At this moment, the bell suddenly made a series of "ding-ling-ling" sounds, which reached Chu Yanqiu's ears. It was like the raging force in Chu Yanqiu's heart was instantly removed, causing Chu Yanqiu to lose all his strength.
Wanfu saw it clearly, and finally realized that what the immortal ancestor said when he gave her the statue was true.
The immortal said, "This statue can help you tame your husband. Princess, you must carry it with you wherever you go. Don't lose it, understand?"
Wanfu held up the staggering Chu Yanqiu and whispered softly, "Chu Lang, Chu Lang, how are you? Do you feel weak all over? Do you feel a dull pain in your chest?"
Chu Yanqiu was so exhausted that he could no longer recognize the person who was speaking to him in a sweet voice. He just nodded honestly.
Wanfu took out the bead from his chest and said, "Chu Lang, I have an antidote here. Put it in your mouth and see if it can cure your disease. Chu Lang, take it quickly."
Wanfu asked him to open his mouth and eat, and Chu Yanqiu obediently put the bead into his mouth.
Chu Yanqiu ate the bead and held it in his mouth. Not long after, he fainted.
This was the first time he had fallen into a deep sleep in many days.
Chu Yanqiu slept until the next night.
When he woke up the next night, Chu Yanqiu recognized Princess Wanfu. The two exchanged a few words, and then Chu Yanqiu fell asleep again without realizing it.
Wanfu took the magical bead in his hand and looked at it carefully.
She murmured to the sleeping Chu Yanqiu: "It's all thanks to that Nanfan country saint Qingcheng you seduced, Chu Lang. She is such a good person."
It turns out that this bead is the divine bead of Qingcheng, the saint of the Nanfan Kingdom. It is exclusive to the saint who has reincarnated in every life. The saint is selected in each life based on this bead. It is said that this bead can kill evil hearts, avoid the corrupt world and never fall into hell, and can restore the true body of the descendants of the original god.
To talk about how this pearl fell into the hands of Princess Wanfu, we have to start from the time when Princess Wanfu came to the Kingdom of Daju.
Just as Princess Wanfu's family was on their way to the border of the Daju Kingdom, her personal maid who was buying tonic for her rescued a girl from the woods. After the girl was rescued, she revealed her identity and said she was the Saint Maiden of the Nanfan Kingdom.
Princess Wanfu heard that she was an important saint of the Nanfan Kingdom and wanted to see her stunning beauty, so she condescended to go to the saint's bedside.
Speaking of this saint, she is truly a great beauty with thick eyebrows, almond eyes, and a tall nose bridge. Her temperament is as gentle as the spring breeze. Even the usually arrogant and eccentric Princess Wanfu admires her very much.
The Saint Lady of Green Orange said that she left home alone, only because she figured out that her elder guardian, who was like a mother and a teacher to her, was in danger of her life in the Great Jue Country, so she hurried to the Great Jue Country without stopping.
Unfortunately, the saint was not in good health. She had suffered a serious injury in her early years, which left her with a chronic illness. In the first few days before departure, her old injury relapsed and she caught a serious cold.
She came out without thinking of the consequences, and rode non-stop without eating or drinking. Adding to her anxiety and anger, she became exhausted and was thrown to the ground by the exhausted horse, and fainted.
"Luckily the princess rescued me, otherwise I would have died of illness on the street." Qingcheng said gratefully to Princess Wanfu.
Princess Wanfu had heard of the miraculous legend of the Southern Fan Saint since she was a child, and knew that this person was a true Taoist. She was very caring towards the Saint Qingcheng. After the two got to know each other, Princess Wanfu was curious and asked about the many unique aspects of this sacred profession of the Saint, and she was extremely interested in the divine power of the Southern Fan primitive religion.
Qingcheng is a person who does not understand selfishness and is sincere. She does almost everything she can to meet Wanfu's request. She demonstrates the divine power of the gods and even takes out her own magic pearl to show Wanfu.
The two of them spent two days getting to know each other, then went their separate ways to do their own things.
Unexpectedly, the Saint Qingcheng came back to see her after only being separated for half a day. The Saint somehow got the news that her guardian elder was in danger, and she cried for a while.
She handed the precious pearl to Princess Wanfu and said mysteriously, "I give you this pearl because I want you to give it to Big Brother Chu Yanqiu. I will go to a dangerous place when I enter the capital of Dajue. If I can't come back, this pearl will be given to Big Brother Chu. You must give it to him to save his life. Do you understand?"
Princess Wanfu was completely confused by what she heard. As a little girl, she couldn't understand the crazy words of the clergy. But when she heard that it could save her beloved's life, Princess Wanfu solemnly agreed.
