Chapter 585 Paradise
Lu Yangyang followed the gazes of those people and landed on the enormous python.
No, could this holy envoy be referring to Gillian Chung?
She had originally planned to let Ah Jiao run first to inform Ming Ruo, so that they could split up. But what should she do now?
Mingruo was originally with them, but before arriving at Mirror Lake, she suddenly suggested that she should separate from them for a while.
It was at that time that Mingruo confessed to her that his trip to Miao territory, including the salt well, was only part of the investigation. His real purpose was to investigate something that happened to be related to Yuechuan Kingdom.
He couldn't explain to Lu Yangyang, so he just said that they would separate for the time being and reunite after arriving in Yuechuan Kingdom.
Lu Yangyang had long suspected that Mingruo might be hiding something, but since Mingruo didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask. The fact that Mingruo was able to be honest with her when they arrived at Mirror Lake was because he didn't want to involve them in his own affairs.
Lu Yangyang felt that his decision to separate from them was because he had his own things to confirm, and since that was the case, she naturally respected his choice. However, Mingruo had also discussed with her that if any problems arose, they should notify him immediately, and splitting up might make it easier to find solutions.
So along the way, Lu Yangyang left marks almost everywhere.
The best way for them to enter Yuechuan Kingdom right now is to sneak in first, but the problem is that they might not be able to get out. It would be best if someone could gather information from the outside.
Lu Yangyang was struggling with how to leave a message for Mingruo that Mingruo could understand when she heard the people continue, "Please, Holy Envoy and Distinguished Guest, come with us to the Holy Capital."
Holy city?
Wouldn't this take us right to the core of power in the Moon River Kingdom?
The Longevity Gu would probably only be kept in the most important places, right?
Lu Yangyang quickly gave Yin Yueling a wink, and Yin Yueling understood, immediately replying in Miao language, "Okay."
Bored on the journey, Lu Yangyang also learned some everyday Miao language from Yin Yueling and the others. Once they were infiltrated, they would pretend to be Miao people, which would be more effective in concealing their identities, since they all worshipped the Gu God and exchanged goods with each other.
Upon hearing Yin Yueling's reply, the people of Yuechuan Kingdom showed no surprise. Instead, they respectfully split into two groups, as if to escort them.
Unable to leave any further message, Lu Yangyang could only pretend to squat down to clean the dirt off her shoes and quickly write two words on a rock on the bank: "Saint An".
They went to the Holy City and are safe for the time being.
Hopefully, Mingruo can understand it!
And so, the group embarked on their journey to the Holy City.
Along the way, Lu Yangyang finally saw the true face of the Yuechuan Kingdom.
Before coming to Yuechuan Kingdom, Lu Yangyang had traveled to many places and seen the most beautiful Jiangnan region and the picturesque flower-filled Huazhou City. But when she arrived in Yuechuan Kingdom, she truly saw what a paradise on earth was.
This place is like a corner forgotten by humankind, a pearl polished by the divine craftsmanship of nature, a fairyland on earth that makes people sigh with awe and intoxication.
Everywhere they went, there were rare and exotic flowers and plants that were extremely precious in the book. Even in the countryside they passed through, there were mountains full of flowers and deer. Let alone the place where the Gu God descended, even a true god would probably be reluctant to give up such a magnificent scene.
Wen Qingqing and Yin Yueling squeezed next to Lu Yangyang, looking like country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
"I feel like I'm dreaming. There really is such a place in the world! My mother should come and see for herself. She goes to the sea every day and wants to go to some new continent. Can it be newer than this place?" Wen Qingqing couldn't help but swallow as she looked at the flowers and plants in the distance. "Do you see that? Those camellias. They have so many colors. Even in our Medicine God Valley, we can't grow many multicolored camellias. There's a whole field of them here!"
"Stop talking. I just saw a swarm of black crystal bees. I encountered a nest in the dense forest before and tried to catch them to make Gu poison, but I almost got stung to death. But that was a whole swarm, a whole swarm! I was narrow-minded. This place really is the sacred land of our Miao region. I take back what I said before." Yin Yueling had been a little unconvinced before.
She insisted on joining in the fun because she thought she was already very powerful and would definitely become the most powerful saintess in Miao territory in the future. She didn't believe that Yuechuan Kingdom, the so-called place where the Gu God descended, could be so great. She was wrong. It really was great, too great. Just these flowers, plants and bees alone could make her drool. She didn't want to leave for a quarter of an hour, no, to borrow Wen Qingqing's words, not even for a second.
Lu Yangyang was equally shocked.
Fortunately, she hadn't forgotten her important business; she came here to find Sheng Yunjiao and Yan Yue.
However, she had asked Yin Yueling about it on the way. The patrolling guards had never seen any strangers come to Yuechuan Kingdom. They said that because the whole country was busy with the sacrificial ceremony, even if strangers did come, they would be sent to the sacrificial ceremony as offerings. The sacrificial ceremony was held once a year and was the grandest festival in Yuechuan Kingdom. Moreover, this sacrificial ceremony was different. King Yuechuan would ask the Gu God to choose the next king at the sacrificial ceremony.
Therefore, all the citizens of Yuechuan Kingdom would rush to the holy capital, bringing with them the best tribute.
Therefore, Lu Yangyang felt that if that were the case, it would be a great opportunity. If the Crown Prince wanted to find clues about the Longevity Gu, he would definitely go to the sacrificial ceremony. Yan Yue and Sheng Yunjiao might also be sent to the Holy Capital as tributes.
That way, we might have clues once we get to the Holy City.
After traveling for two days, the group finally saw the city in the distance, which looked like white jade.
The guards escorted them to the city gate and respectfully said to Ajiao, "Your Excellency, please enter the city first. We will enter the city with our people for the sacrificial ceremony five days from now."
Are they just leaving them at the city gate and ignoring them?
Fearing they would be exposed, the others didn't dare to stop them. Only after they left did Li Shisan breathe a sigh of relief and say, "They're finally gone! I was terrified the whole way here. I was so afraid we'd give ourselves away and get tied up!"
Wen Qingqing stretched and said, "But the problem is, if we're just left here like this, how are we going to get into the city?"
Yin Yueling patted Ajiao: "Of course we have to rely on our Ajiao. Our Ajiao is now a Holy Envoy!"
Lu Yangyang glanced at them, then at the heavily guarded city gate in the distance: "Let's give it a try and see! Since those people said we could get in, we definitely can!"
Yin Yueling nodded vigorously: "Yes! Ajiao, let's go, lead the way!"
Encouraged, Gillian raised her large head and walked ahead, stopping at the city gate.
