Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

"We're living in this shabby mud house in the inn now, relying on magic to deceive people's minds. Why don't we just go to the capital and choose a better house?"

She said it very tactfully, but Bai Sujin and Xuan Yi could hear the bad intentions in her mind.

Xuan Yi directly exposed the truth: "Xiao Qing, you want to live directly in the Jingjue Queen's bedroom, right?"

The green snake nodded and admitted it openly.

Ordinary people would have their eyes gouged out if they saw the Queen of Jingjue, but they were not ordinary people.

She was just curious about where the queen of this small country got so much majesty from. You said you wouldn’t let her see it, but I must see it!

Of course, the main reason why Aunt Green Snake was so curious was that she had nothing to do.

"Wu Ji, help me speak!" Aunt Qing Snake said quietly with her mouth.

Chu Wuji took a look at the accommodation conditions. The thatched earthen kang and the leaky windows allowed sand and dust to blow in every once in a while. It was indeed a bit shabby...

My aunt was right before. Since we are using magic, why not choose a better place to live?

He found a better reason:

"I just noticed that this small town has a very small population. Even the streets where stalls are set up are very narrow and can't accommodate many stalls. I may not be able to get any good information tomorrow. I can definitely contact the Queen of Jingjue directly."

Chapter 451 The ancestor of the Queen of Jingjue?

Chu Wuji's words were to explain his ideas, analyze the reasons for his decision, and seek the opinions of his companions, but since he had spoken, how could his female companions refuse to refute him?

The core of this trip is him, and the harmless proposal is that he can do whatever he wants.

"Then do as Wu Ji wishes." Bai Sujin responded, not refusing like she did to her sister just now.

Aunt Green Snake gave him a thumbs up behind her back. If she wanted to use this as an excuse, she still had to look at him!

The girl in the green dress took a few steps and stopped beside Chu Wuzhi's hand. She held up one of Chu Wuzhi's arms, put her pretty face to the cuff, and looked into the eyes of the white snake inside.

"Sister, you are biased. Why is it that my suggestion is not allowed, but Wu Ji's suggestion is what we should listen to?"

She didn't want an explanation, she was just showing off, saying that in the end, she still followed her Green Snake's suggestion.

The white snake in the sleeve opened its eyes, looked at the fair and tender face in front of the "cave", and said unhappily:

"I promise you this once, and from now on you will definitely act recklessly. You won't tell us what you think, and you will just go and make trouble on your own!

If you are dissatisfied with my opinion, go ask the black snake next door!"

Chu Wuji nodded secretly, agreeing with what the White Snake Mother said.

My aunt is like this. If you dare to agree to her once, she will immediately become more demanding. She will think to herself that "I don't need to ask for your opinion next time" and will just do what she wants.

Aunt Green Snake made a "tsk" sound and took two steps in front of Chu Wuji, came to the other sleeve, and looked at the black clothes inside.

Although there were no words, he gave her a meaningful look.

Sister Xuanyi, would you like to stand on my side? Next time you quarrel with your sister, I can help you as appropriate!

When the beautiful black snake woman was lying on her son's arms, she basically closed her eyes and rested. She ignored Xiaoqing, but Xiaoqing reached out and poked her head.

Xuan Yi said helplessly:

"Xiaoqing, your big face is blocking the light from your sleeves. Go somewhere cooler!"

Aunt Green Snake curled her lips, feeling resentful and depressed.

You've taken over my territory and you're so arrogant and domineering...

Seeing this, Chu Wuji took his aunt's soft white wrist and shook it gently to express his comfort.

Originally, there was a white snake sister who had suppressed my aunt's wild temper very well. Now there is a black snake sister, and my aunt's arrogance has been completely suppressed.

This kind of restraint is indeed too strong.

Fortunately, Aunt Green Snake couldn't hold so many emotions in her mind. She quickly cleared away the haze and focused her attention on thinking about going to the capital of Jingjue Kingdom later.

"Purple Peacock, what is the status of the Jingjue Kingdom in the Western Regions?" Aunt Green Snake asked.

Before people even step out of the door, curiosity has already slipped away.

"What purple peacock? It's not nice to call someone else's name without permission." Bai Sujin preached.

Chu Wuji agreed with his mother's words, but calling her "Aunt" was not a random name. Apart from the snow-white skin, the impression given by the Imperial Master was that of an alluring purple color, full of charm.

The White Peacock didn't pay much attention to the Green Snake's address and said casually:

"It's okay. Bu Miao also used purple to tease me before. When I was in the Water and Fire Sect, people also called me the 'Purple Water Saint'..."

Several people walked out of this simple inn one after another. The owner greeted them in a daze. He was not very clear-headed and the magic spell on his body had not yet dissipated.

During the short journey of a few miles, White Peacock briefly mentioned the rumors about the Kingdom of Jingjue.

"The Jingjue Kingdom is not very large and its location is arid. If it weren't close to the Liangjin Kingdom, there would be even fewer people coming and going here.

But the main city of Jingjue Kingdom is actually underground, and the palace in the royal capital is just to decorate the entrance to the underground main city."

Aunt Green Snake became even more interested. She wanted to dig up the ground right now and go down to take a look:

"Is it true that an underground city-state can be dug out in such a place?"

"Of course it's true, but I suspect this underground city-state wasn't dug out by the Jingjue Kingdom. It's been there forever and was just discovered by the Jingjue Kingdom by chance. Outsiders are not allowed to approach."

The desert Gobi is so cold at night that frost can form. If it weren't so dry, there would probably be snowflakes falling.

Mrs. Jiang listened attentively to these stories and felt a slight chill unconsciously. She wrapped her plump body with the fox tail to keep warm.

She did not dress up elaborately or wear jade ornaments or brocade clothes. She simply casually draped the fox tail over her plain clothes, but she looked like a graceful and elegant fox fairy concubine.

she asked:

"When I was in the sky earlier, I looked down at that city-state. It didn't look very big, so no other country came to conquer it. Should we go to that underground city-state and explore what's going on?"

The white peacock nodded and said:

"Of course there were. There used to be a desert bandit nation sixty miles south of here. They estimated that the population of Jingjue was only about 20,000, and its military strength would be even smaller. So they sent out 2,000 cavalrymen, but unfortunately they were destroyed.

Soldiers kept pouring out of the palace, like ants pouring out of an anthill; they couldn't be killed off.

Two thousand cavalrymen are already a very large number, with strong lethality and high mobility. Without the interference of monks, a cavalry unit of this size can move freely between the small countries in the Western Regions.

The reason why this bandit country failed to expand was probably because the environment was too harsh. The cavalry troops were restricted to this area, making it difficult for them to migrate long distances and easily dying in the wind, sand and drought.

Chu Wuji gradually became interested and thought:

"So it seems like there really is an underground city-state. Haven't there been any evil cultivators trying to cause trouble here? I have a feeling if the evil cultivators heard about this, they would be very interested, right?"

Aunt Green Snake recognized the situation and emphasized, "I'm not an evil cultivator, I'm a demon cultivator."

White Peacock continued to tell his story:

"That's because there are also cultivators in Jingjue. Even the Queen of Jingjue is a Taoist practitioner. She also holds a scepter passed down from generation to generation. It is a powerful magical weapon, just like..."

The female imperial teacher suddenly stopped talking, as if she remembered something. As she stared in deep thought, her profile was particularly charming, perfectly interpreting the three-dimensional facial features of a Western Region woman, with a mature and intellectual charm.

Princess Jing'an's intelligence focuses on consideration and etiquette, while the White Peacock's intelligence is a kind of inner wisdom, strength, and clear goals and opinions.

"Master, have you thought of anything?" Chu Wuzhi waited for a while and couldn't help asking.

"I didn't realize it before, but it just suddenly occurred to me that some of the traditions and clothing features of the Jingjue Kingdom are very similar to those of the Youyu Clan. Perhaps the Jingjue Kingdom inherited the legacy of an ancient tribe."

White Peacock is not sure, it's just a guess.

The Kingdom of Jingjue does not conduct diplomacy with other countries and is relatively isolated and independent. We can only understand it from past rumors.

The White Peacock knows so much because of her identity as a saint many years ago. She traveled around the Western Regions to preach the Dharma, which not only improved her prestige, but more importantly, her vision.

If they hadn't just been talking about the scepter of the Queen of Jingjue, she wouldn't have associated it with the Youyu clan.

The Queen of Jingjue plays with an eye-shaped gem in one hand and holds a sword-shaped scepter passed down from generation to generation in the other hand, which is very similar to Yu Yang's posture.

"Wow, this guy is quite a pro. If a fight breaks out later, don't put the blame on me. Entering the capital is a proposal everyone agrees on!"

Aunt Green Snake has already started stacking armor and solemnly issued a disclaimer.

She used to think that Jingjue Kingdom was a mortal country, so she didn't take the prohibitions here seriously. Now she heard that the Queen of Jingjue was powerful, which might trigger a battle.

Even if she won without any danger, based on her understanding of her sister White Snake, she would definitely blame her, thinking that she was looking for trouble and causing unnecessary trouble!

Chu Wuji gave her a reassurance and said:

"Don't worry, auntie, our fighting force here is definitely strong enough to walk sideways, and we are not afraid of trouble after causing trouble~

Even if mother scolds you afterwards, you won't get hurt, so just let mother say it!"

Aunt Green Snake gave him a glare and said coquettishly;

"Go away, you heartless bastard! I thought you were going to take the blame for me, Wuji!"

The capital of Jingjue Kingdom was not far ahead. The beautiful imperial teacher slowed down her pace and said:

"If a conflict really breaks out, if you find it troublesome to fight, just leave. The Queen of Jingjue has no ability to detain us."

Xuan Yi heard her so confident and asked:

"White Peacock, you sound so confident now. When you landed just now, why didn't you lead the way directly to the Jingjue capital, but instead ran to the small market town?

Isn't this just taking us in circles for nothing?"

White Peacock's delicate hands stroked her purple hair that was blown by the night wind, and she explained:

"As a guide, I naturally have to avoid unnecessary conflicts and reach my destination as smoothly and unimpeded as possible. I can't just lead the way straight in knowing there might be friction here, right?"

The White Snake sighed in her heart, wishing that her sister Xiaoqing could be as thorough and thoughtful as this female imperial teacher, even if only half of her could do that.

Unfortunately, Xiaoqing only knows how to "cause" trouble, so we can't rely on her to handle things.

Chu Wuji soared into the air and disappeared into the dark night sky with the two female companions beside him.

The night sky was cloudless and the view seemed vast, but as long as one flew to a certain height, the sentries around the royal capital would not be able to detect the approach of outsiders at all.

Looking down at the capital of the Kingdom of Jingjue from a high altitude, the architectural layout inside reveals a rough and primitive sacrificial flavor. The red paint decorating the stone pillars seems to be made of blood, and bone ornaments can be seen everywhere.

On the stone walls of the residents' houses are scribbled religious murals, as if the painter was dancing a witch's dance while swinging his arms and fingers, sketching them in a dazed state.

The Sky Fox Lady, who was in a semi-resting state, squeaked in her soul cave and said with great interest:

[Oh~ That's interesting. After taking a closer look at this Jingjue Kingdom, it does indeed have the feeling of my time. The tribal states back then were similar to this!]

In the eyes of Chu Wuzhi and others, this place exudes a sense of antiquity, backwardness and bloodiness.

But in the eyes of the fox girl, this is simply a nostalgic city-state.

Although it cannot be 80% or 90% similar, it does have 60% of the charm.

Mrs. Jiang pointed at the gold ornaments hanging on the street in amazement:

"Isn't that real gold? Aren't you afraid of it getting stolen if you decorate the street like this?"

White Peacock continued to play the role of tour guide. When tourists encountered something they didn't understand, she began to explain the local characteristics:

"In the capital of Jingjue Kingdom, there is no legitimate business. Everything is the property of the Queen of Jingjue, even the lives of the people are no exception.

It looks like gold is being placed randomly on the street, but in reality, the Queen of Jingjue is decorating her garden. Anyone who touches it will be executed."

Mrs. Jiang also noticed a sacrificial square in the center of the royal capital, where there was a large fire pit for sacrificing prisoners of war alive, confirming what the white peacock said.

She was terrified: "I didn't expect that there is such a country nowadays. I have only heard of it in ancient books..."

Chu Wuji's attention has always been on the clothes of the soldiers in the royal capital, especially the clothes of the officers, which are indeed similar to You Yuyang's clothes.

"If I take out You Yuyang, does that count as taking out the ancestor of the Jingjue Kingdom?"

Chapter 452 Mengpo Soup

The outer perimeter of the Jingjue Kingdom's palace was backed by a series of wind-eroded rocky mountains. The night and the light from the torches fell on it, making it appear dark red, like a dried, mottled blood sacrifice.

Chu Wuzhi and others controlled their movements and breath and quietly landed in the palace.

Here there is luxury and nobility built with gold, as well as a solemn majesty forged from bones.

The Jingjue soldiers were patrolling back and forth, their movements were very standard, but their mental state was not focused. Perhaps they didn't know who they were guarding against, as too few people dared to trespass here.

But the supreme power of the Queen of Jingjue hangs in the hearts of the Jingjue people, and no one dares to be lazy.
