The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 30 Nanzhao Mountain

Standing at the foot of Nanzhao Mountain, Shen She put one hand on his brow bone, squinted his eyes and looked up at the rolling and prosperous Nanzhao Mountain in front of him, and said: "I advise you to go back. It's not that I don't want to send you there, it's this Nanzhao Mountain It's really difficult. This mountain is the holy mountain of Nanzhao. Tens of thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Fire Clan in Nanzhao lived at the foot of the mountain. Due to the narrow territory and mostly forests, there were more birds and beasts than people. At that time The Nanzhao Fire Clan can only live by relying on the Yangze Shui Clan, so Nanzhao has become a subsidiary country of the Yangze Shui Clan.”

"Later, there was a catastrophe in Dongzhou that almost wiped out the entire family. To avoid the disaster, the ancestors of Nanzhao crossed Nanzhao Mountain. Unexpectedly, behind Nanzhao Mountain is an endless and vast plain, with abundant water and grass, beautiful heaven and earth, and Nanzhao Mountain. The Fire Clan re-established the Nanzhao Kingdom on that fertile land. But in the process of crossing the Zhaoshan Mountain in Vietnam, most of the clan members were killed and injured, and they were almost extinct. Those dead Fire Clan members were affected by the aura of the two emperors of heaven and earth. Turned into a flame maple, you see..."

Nanzhao Mountain is a group of mountains with 72 peaks standing in a forest. The mountains stretch for thousands of miles and traverse between Luoshui and Nanzhao from east to west, forming a natural danger.Flame maples grow all over the mountain. This kind of maple tree is different from ordinary maple trees. The fiery red maple leaves grow on the branches like clusters of flames, scorching hot.

"In the eyes of Nanzhao people, the flame maple of the Nanzhao fire tribe is the same as the pear flower of the Yangze water tribe. Just burn it, unless the Nanzhao royal family opens the way, no matter who he is, once he steps into the mountain, he will be burned into a ball of ashes immediately. Don't look at me, I can't stand it. And I practice wood spirits, the most feared It's fire."

Chang Ji reminded him: "What you are most afraid of is darkness."

Gritting his teeth, Shen She finally didn't speak.Last night, Chang Ji lit a bonfire for him, and he sat obediently by the bonfire without daring to move his buttocks.

Chang Wei thought for a moment, and said: "You practice wood spirits, you can summon all the plants and trees, and the flame maple is also a wood tree, so it should be summoned by you. You might as well give it a try. If you can succeed, Nan Zhaohuo The family should also be afraid of you three points..."

He said: "Ah, ah, stop, my brain is fine, don't come and give me ecstasy soup. I traveled to Nanzhao a few years ago, and I tried it when I passed by Nanzhao Mountain, and it didn't work. Is this flame maple Ordinary vegetation, it is the spiritual body of the ancestors of Nanzhao, with spiritual consciousness, only the blood of the Nanzhao royal family can suppress it."

He gave a "tsk", rolled his eyes and said, "It suddenly occurred to me, Your Highness the Third Princess, you seem to be engaged to Nan Zhaozhuo, the seventh son of Emperor Nanzhao, but he is of the orthodox royal blood of Nanzhao. he comes……"

Chang Ji glared at him angrily, "Shut up."

"Why are you so fierce? You don't like your fiancé." He turned his face away and muttered, "You don't want to marry, so it seems like no one wants to marry!"

Chang Ji didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

He said, "I won't tell you."

Chang Ji didn't intend to talk nonsense with him, so he walked towards Nanzhao Mountain first.

The closer you get to Nanzhao Mountain, the more dense and lush the flame maples are. First, the low flame maples only reach the ankles, and then go forward, some of the flame maples are as high as knees, and some are even as tall as half a person.Looking around, I can't see other plants and trees, only the fiery red maple leaves are burning and swaying like fire in the hunting wind.

The rolling hills, looking from a distance, are like a dazzling sea of ​​fire.

In the area of ​​the low flame maple, you can still see the road stepped on by people. When you walk to the area of ​​the knee-high flame maple, you can no longer see the traces of people's footsteps, and there is no road at all.

"do not move!"

Shen She suddenly yelled from behind, Chang Wei had already stepped forward, and as soon as her toes stepped into the flaming maple that was everywhere, she felt the heat steaming, and the flipping maple leaves licked her shoes like hot tongues of fire, instantly burn up.

She stomped her feet immediately, before the flames on her feet were extinguished, a taller flame maple beside her suddenly rolled up a ball of flames and rushed towards her.

She dodged to the side, Huo Huanfeng behind her also rolled out flames, the back of her clothes was about to be burned by fire, Shen She immediately dodged behind her, waved his sleeves to block, when his swaying sleeves met the hot flames, The cyan cloth suddenly turned black, and in an instant, those flame maples backed away in fear.

Shen She's complexion changed, and then he let out an "oops" and pretended to be frightened: "It's burning! It's burning! Run!"

He pulled the long shaft and whirled for a while, retreated more than a hundred steps in the blink of an eye, and landed in the gap between the low flame maple. He kept stamping his feet and shaking his clothes and said, "It hurts! It's burning me! Look at you..."

Chang's shoes were burnt with several holes, and the hem of his robe was licked by the flames, making him very embarrassed.

She bent slightly, took a deep breath, and still refused to look back.Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he walked back to the place where the flame maple was burning.

Shen She said: "Hey! Do you not understand human language? You can't get through it! You can't get through it! Before the foot of the mountain touches you, you will be burned to ashes."

Chang Ji didn't stop walking, he said loudly behind him: "You are going to die, I am not in the mood to die with you."

Chang Ji stopped and turned to look at him.

He rarely said seriously: "If you want to die, I will not stop you. I have saved you in the past two days, and you have saved me. If we are here today, we will be clean. You go to your Nanzhao, my son. Let's go chic. Let's break up!"

He turned around and was about to leave, Chang Wei raised his voice and said, "Wait."

Shen She turned her head immediately, with a happy expression on her face, she said, "Aren't you going to Nanzhao?"

But Chang Ji said indifferently: "I've never partnered with you."

"you……"

Shen She gritted his teeth bitterly, and disappeared in a flash.

When the forest was empty, Chang'an's eyes dimmed.

There are three ways to go to Nanzhao.

One is from the waterway, crossing the West Sea by boat, and you can reach Nanzhao in more than a month.But the mouth of the west coast is far away in Yangtu, and she has no time to turn back.

Another way, take the official road.In Nanzhao Mountain, there is a wide avenue running from north to south, which is the shortest road from Luoshui to Nanzhao.

But for nearly a thousand years, Nanzhao and Luoshui have been at odds with each other, and there is no trade or marriage. The gates between them are still tightly guarded in normal times, let alone in wartime now.

Without the customs clearance documents signed by the two countries, it is impossible to enter and exit the customs.

If she wanted to go to Nanzhao, she could only take the third way—crossing Nanzhao Mountain.

After Shen She left, Chang Wei did not move forward in a hurry. She lingered in the same place for a while, listening attentively to make sure that there were no human voices in the surrounding vegetation. On the palm of his hand, from the bottom of the palm up to the tip of the middle finger, a long straight gash was drawn, and blood gushed out immediately.

She clenched her five fingers into fists, and let the blood drops drop by drop from between her fingers. At the same time, she forced herself to move the ice spirit sealed by Yuan Che. Her blood stained the ice spirit, and when it fell to the ground, it immediately melted The black ice layer spread out around the center of the landing point.
