Chapter 338: The Shock of the Ruined Temple
The South Country is very far away from the North Country.
Also, since they were carrying sick women and children, they could not travel at night, which wasted a lot of time.
After seven days of continuous travel, they had barely covered half of the distance.
"The night is getting darker, let's go to the dilapidated temple ahead to seek shelter." Xie Jingxi sent someone to inquire and came back knowing that there was no suitable place to stay ahead, so he decided to rest here.
"When I learned that Madam was pregnant, I was worried. The mountains in the south are high and the waters are far away. I didn't know how much suffering I would have to endure if I went there pregnant. But I didn't expect that Madam would have such an easy birth." Dengzhi's face was full of smiles. She had been worried every day for the first seven days after setting out.
Only when he saw his wife's complexion becoming more and more rosy and even gaining two kilograms did he smile.
"The one who is suffering is here." He nodded at Rong Che.
Yunniang was nourished by Lu Chaochao's spiritual spring and even gained two kilograms.
Rong Che vomited so much that he doubted his life and his face turned pale. Even Nan Mubai was afraid that he would die on the road. I have expressed my condolences to you several times in succession...
Lu Chaochao glanced at the water bag. It was the best spiritual spring that nourished her spiritual veins. Of course it would be good to drink it.
That is, I don’t know how much the fetus can absorb.
She has never given birth to a child, so this involves her blind spot.
This is a dilapidated temple. No one knows which god is enshrined in the temple, and there is a big hole in the roof. There were spider webs everywhere, and even the statues were in tatters.
It doesn't look like the incense is very popular.
The maids quickly cleaned the place, found some straw to pad the ground, and then covered it with a brocade quilt.
The attendants then waited in the ruined temple with knives in hand, guarding the place heavily.
The guards are divided into three groups and take turns on duty to ensure safety.
"Tomorrow we will cross the border between Nanguo and Beizhao, and in another five days we will reach Nandu." The capital of the Southern Kingdom is Nandu.
"I've been delayed for too long this time, and I don't know how my royal grandfather is doing." Nan Mubai was a little anxious. The imperial jade pendant had not returned to the country, and his mother had not been able to take over. If my royal grandfather were to pass away, I don’t know how much trouble would happen!
"Aunt, can Mu Bai take a look at the dragon pattern pendant?"
"I'll just borrow it to take a look and return it to my aunt immediately." Nan Mubai pursed his lips.
"The Southern Kingdom Dragon Pattern Pendant has been lost for more than 30 years, and Mu Bai has never seen it before. I heard that this Dragon Pattern Pendant was personally bestowed upon our ancestor by the God Zong Bai when he selected him as a divine servant."
"It is said that there is a treasure in the jade pendant. Once it is opened, it can lead the South Country to glory."
“It’s a pity that the dragon-patterned pendant has been passed down for thousands of years, but no one has ever opened it.” Nan Mubai sighed. What kind of treasure must it be that could be called a treasure by Supreme God Zong Bai?
Xu's eyelids were twitching wildly.
Open……
Jade pendant?
My Chaochao's flower bloomed when it wasn't even one year old! !
"Aunt, can I take a look?" Nan Mubai asked when he saw her in a daze.
Yunniang nodded: "Chao Chao, show the jade pendant to His Royal Highness the Grandson."
Lu Chaochao slowly took it out from his arms, raised his hand and threw it over.
Watching the jade pendant jumping in the air, Nan Mubai was frightened and hurried forward to catch it.
"You...you gave the jade pendant to Princess Zhaoyang?" Nan Mubai was so scared that his voice became hoarse and his hands were shaking.
This is a treasure from the South!
A national token! !
The Southern Kingdom’s royal family fought tooth and nail!
"Chao Chao likes it, so why not give it to her?" If Chao Chao had the ability, she would be willing to pick the stars in the sky if she asked for them.
Nan Mubai's heart sank.
I like it too, give it to me, give it to me! !
He looked down at the jade pendant in frustration. It was just as recorded. He could feel a trace of spiritual energy flowing into it as soon as he touched it.
He stared at it for a long time reluctantly before returning it.
Lu Chaochao casually took out two hickory nuts from his arms, picked up the jade pendant and started smashing it with a clanging sound.
Nan Mubai jumped up suddenly.
"No! Can't smash it! Can't smash it!! " Nan Mubai almost jumped up. What he was smashing was not a walnut, but his heart! !
It all hit him hard!
it hurts! !
Nan Mubai's face was grim and he almost cried out.
Lu Chaochao had a puzzled look on his face, and the walnuts in his mouth made a crunching sound. "What can't be smashed? When you weren't here, I smashed them every day."
"Don't worry, it won't break."
[Besides, if the jade pendant is broken, it won’t affect the space inside, right? 】
[Once opened, the space is engraved on the soul's imprint. 】
[Well, this jade pendant is already a dead object...] Space, the object is returned to its original owner.
When Lu Chaochao sacrificed his body and his soul dissipated, the space became ownerless.
Nan Mubai was so anxious that his mouth was covered with blisters, but the jade pendant now belonged to Xu Shiyun, so he could do nothing about it.
He just looked at Lu Chaochao with resentment.
Lu Chaochao really couldn't stand his resentful look and held him in her arms in annoyance.
In the center of the temple, a pile of firewood was burning with a crackling sound.
"I heard that there are seven great divine servants in the Southern Kingdom?" Yunniang was about to arrive in the Southern Kingdom, so she wanted to find out more.
Speaking of the divine attendant, Nan Mubai became obviously serious: "Yes, our Southern Royal Family believes in the Supreme God Zongbai. The guardian beast is Xiangliu..."
"Your Highness, your maiden name is Su. You have noble blood and have summoned gods many times. The Su family believes in Xuanyu, the god of darkness. The patron saint of the Su family is a thousand-year-old black tortoise... and it has intelligence. The Su family respectfully calls it the ancestor." The queen was his biological grandmother.
"The Ming family believes in the god of life, Xianting, and their guardian beast is a black bird."
"The Lou family believes in the god of war Xing Hui, and their guardian beast is Bai Ze."
"The Yue family believes in Gan Tang, the god of the four seasons. They don't have a guardian beast, but they do have a magical herb."
"The Shen family believes in Chongyue, the god of time and space. Their gods have not been summoned for many years, and their guardian beasts have fallen asleep. I'm afraid the Shen family is not far from extinction."
"And the Sang family, they believe in Sheng He, the god of luck."
"Among them, the Su family's guardian beast is the strongest..." This is also Nan Mubai's pride.
[Bai Ze is not stronger than Xuan Gui?] Unless, the black turtle took a shortcut in its practice. 】Lu Chaochao rolled her eyes.
"Aunt, don't worry. You probably won't be able to see the gods." They would not receive a mortal.
Everyone could sense the contempt in his tone.
I couldn't help feeling indignant, but there was nothing I could do.
As the night deepened, the mountain fog gradually approached.
They all snuggled together and fell asleep.
Outside the temple, the guards suddenly fell down one after another silently. Li Siqi suddenly woke up, but he couldn't see anything...
Lu Chaochao lay quietly in her mother's arms.
Seeing that everyone had fallen into a deep sleep, the little guy got up.
The tattered statue in the temple suddenly opened its eyes and looked at Lu Chaochao with majesty and oppression.
The little guy looked up and looked into the eyes of the statue.
The statue's eyes were eerie, emitting a faint red light, and there was a hint of piercing coldness in his gaze.
"Hey, I was wondering what evil spirit was causing this trouble."
"It turns out to be an old turtle..."
"No wonder he practices so fast, he actually uses living people for sacrifice!" Isn't this the old black turtle from the Su family?
The old black turtle's eyes fell on Lu Chaochao's waist.
Jade pendant with dragon pattern?
He had reached a bottleneck in his practice, so he came out to find living people to sacrifice, but he didn't expect to encounter such a good thing!
