Chapter 505: Lady of the Nine Heavens and the High Priest
"Who are you!?"

Mr. Lu, who came in holding a stone ball, suddenly found three more people in the room and shouted.

He discovered a sudden change in the celestial phenomena many days ago, and then he found the Dragon Soul and the special girl beside the Dragon Soul.

With his knowledge, he naturally recognized that the necklace worn by the little girl was the sacred object of the Chiyou clan, the "Tears of the Goddess".

However, since the Dragon Soul Guardian Pixiu showed up to protect the little girl, he had no choice but to place the mysterious girl named Xiao Li here first.

Since the dragon soul had been found, he went out to buy some supplies, preparing to wait for Xiao Li to wake up and take her to the ancient kingdom of Loulan to report to the high priest.

But I didn't expect to meet an unexpected guest.

For a moment, Mr. Lu was extremely alert and ready to use mechanical techniques at any time.

Cheng Jiao took a look at Mr. Lu. His eyes were sharp and full of insights. He was wearing a gray robe, with fluttering silver beard. The deep lines at the corners of his eyes revealed the vicissitudes of life.

He knew that this guy looked like a kind old man, but in fact he was a master of mechanical engineering and a hidden genius.
He comforted her, "Don't be afraid, old man. We are here according to the instructions of the Lady of the Nine Heavens to look for the Tears of the Goddess."

Yan Fei and Yue Shen both couldn't help laughing. They didn't expect Cheng Jiao to be so deceiving.

Mr. Lu was confused. What the hell? The Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens?
Then, Mr. Lu's face darkened: "Young man, the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens is the creator and guardian of the world, and she is not someone you can joke about casually."

The Loulan people have believed in the Goddess of the Nine Heavens for generations. For this reason, they have taken the initiative to guard the sealed War Demon God and Chi You Sword for thousands of years. Their worship of the Goddess of the Nine Heavens has almost reached its peak.

Cheng Jiao slowly told the story again, only replacing Mozi with Lady of the West.

Old Man Lu frowned and said, "No wonder the stars changed so drastically, it turns out that the Blue Dragon's Seven Stars were opened. However, the Yuyuan seal is guarded by the precious Fusang sacred tree, how could the seal be opened?"

Loulan and the Yu Yuan clan of the Shushan Wu Clan are both ancient races and know a lot of secrets.

He naturally knew that Yu Yuan's seal was for the demons, while they, Loulan, sealed the weapons of the demon god Chi You and the only remaining soldier demon god.

Cheng Jiao shook his head slightly: "Perhaps the demon god Chi You is not dead yet. The Blue Dragon's Seven Stars have been opened. I am afraid that the seal of Yu Yuan will not last long. We have limited time. I need to get the Goddess's Tears and Chi You's Sword. Only in this way can I kill the demon god Chi You who is about to be born."

Mr. Lu stared at Cheng Jiao: "How can I believe what you say?"

Cheng Jiao pondered for a moment, then revealed his aura, making it almost difficult for Mr. Lu to breathe.

With some difficulty, he said, "Heavenly being? No, you have entered the realm of immortals and gods!"

The high priest of Loulan was also a powerful person in the realm of heaven and man, but he did not make him feel so powerless as if he was on the edge of an abyss or facing a mountain.

"Yes, now that my sincerity has been shown, I hope you can take us to Loulan so that I can have a personal meeting with your high priest."

Cheng Jiao took a look at the strange stone ball in Uncle Lu's hand, which was probably the Dragon Soul Pi Xiu.

Perhaps it is the only remaining ancient mythical beast in the world.

While Mr. Lu was in doubt, Xiao Li on the bed suddenly woke up, got out of bed, looked at everyone in the room indifferently, and stayed on the dragon soul for a moment, muttering to himself: "Are you the only one left?"

At this moment, Xiao Li is full of divinity.

Cheng Jiao was a little unsure, but he had already guessed who this was.

"Lady of the Nine Heavens?"

Cheng Jiao asked tentatively.

Mr. Lu was stunned for a while, then suddenly knelt down and said, "Loulan envoy, kneel down to pay homage to the queen."

He had only seen this kind of divine radiance on the stone statue of the goddess in Loulan. In addition, the dragon soul had previously protected Xiao Li, so he had no doubt that the little girl in front of him might be the reincarnation of the goddess of the nine heavens.

"Xiao Li" glanced at Mr. Lu calmly, then looked at Cheng Jiao: "You opened the Blue Dragon Seven Stars, and you will bear the consequences. I don't want the world I created to fall into despair and destruction, do you understand?"

Cheng Jiao nodded slightly and said, "Everyone has his own responsibility. I will naturally handle this matter."

"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will appear again and help you become a god."

After she finished speaking, Lady of the Nine Heavens suddenly disappeared and sank into Xiao Li's body.

Yan Fei and Yue Shen both breathed a sigh of relief. The legend of the Lady of the Nine Heavens was too terrifying. They did not dare to be careless even if there was only a trace of consciousness.

Cheng Jiao looked thoughtfully at Zhen Xiaoli who slowly opened his eyes. This didn't seem like reincarnation, but more like two souls in one body.

But it doesn't matter what it is. It is probably because I opened the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon, the shackles of heaven and earth were opened, and the Tears of the Goddess activated the power of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady that remained in Xiao Li's body.

Old Man Lu came back to his senses from the conversation between Cheng Jiao and the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, and said respectfully, "Sir, I am Old Man Lu, an envoy sent by Loulan, ordered to bring back the Dragon Soul. I wonder who you are, and when you will go to Loulan?"

He now completely understood that the young man in front of him might be the savior of this world. Just like the Yellow Emperor thousands of years ago, with the help of the Queen Mother of the West, he would wipe out the evil spirits and bring peace and tranquility to the world.

"I am Cheng Jiao, the King of Chang'an of Qin. If possible, I would like to go to Loulan now."

Mr. Lu responded directly: "Okay."

Then he realized that there was only one king in the entire Qin State, who was named the No. 1 king in the world by the First Emperor and was also the only king, and was the brother of the current First Emperor.

Thinking of this, Mr. Lu suddenly realized why the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens let Cheng Jiao clean up the mess.

Xiao Li slowly came back to his senses and looked at the three extra people in the room. He asked Uncle Lu curiously, "Uncle, who are they?"

She didn't know what happened and passed out in the town. After waking up, she knew it was Uncle Lu who saved her.

In the past few days, she has fallen into inexplicable coma from time to time, and she has become accustomed to it.

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "This is... Mr. Cheng Jiao. We will set off for Loulan in a moment."

The way he looked at Xiao Li had changed. A girl who could be possessed by the Goddess of the Nine Heavens must be a saint, the messenger of the Goddess.

Xiao Li said "Oh". She had heard the old man say before that maybe going to Loulan could solve the problem of her being in a coma and losing her memory after a period of time.

In order to save time, Cheng Jiao used the sword-riding technique and took Mr. Lu and Xiao Li deep into the desert of the Western Regions.

Xiao Li stood on the huge sword with some excitement. He was several hundred meters high in the air and did not feel any wind.

Looking at the setting sun in the endless sea of ​​sand, Xiao Li was stunned for a moment.

It was her first time to watch the sunset from hundreds of meters in the air.

Mr. Lu suddenly pointed at the ordinary surface of the sand dune.

"That's the entrance to Loulan."

Cheng Jiao looked over and saw nothing under the sand dune, but he could sense a faint energy fluctuation over there, like a barrier.

"Let's go in."

He could sense that there was nothing special about this barrier. It just blocked the sand from sinking in and did not pose any obstacle to outsiders.

As soon as they entered Loulan, Cheng Jiao looked at the dilapidated buildings and said, "It seems that this place has been invaded?" Old Man Lu's face changed slightly, "Let's go find the high priest."

In the temple, the high priest of Loulan, dressed in elegant and noble clothes, suddenly stood up from the throne.

"An outsider has entered!"

Before the high priest gave the order, a warrior in golden armor walked into the temple quickly and said, "Respected high priest, the messenger who went to the outside world to find the dragon soul, Mr. Lu, has returned and is waiting outside the temple with a few outsiders."

The high priest regained his previous calm and reserved temperament: "Let them in."

She was getting a little impatient now. Many days ago, something had happened. The Soldier Demon God and the Chiyou Sword, which had been sealed for a long time, suddenly seemed to have spirituality and began to break through the seal, causing unrest in the entire Loulan.

I hope that the dragon soul that Uncle Lu brings back can strengthen the seal to prevent this hometown that has existed for thousands of years from being destroyed.

Cheng Jiao and Yan Fei Yue Shen stepped into the temple and looked at the magnificent hall, most of which was made of gold. They couldn't help but marvel at it, thinking how rich the emperor was.

"Greetings, High Priest. I have fulfilled my mission and have found the dragon soul."

Old Man Lu held the strange ball in his hand and said, "The dragon soul appeared many days ago and protected this girl. Then it fell into a deep sleep and has not woken up yet."

The high priestess did not doubt what Uncle Lu said. In terms of seniority, Uncle Lu was higher than her and was also a priest. The reason she could become the high priestess was only because she was naturally favored by the goddess statue.

"Old man, can you awaken the dragon soul? I don't know what has happened now. The seal that the Soldier Demon God and Chiyou Sword are constantly attacking will probably be broken soon."

Mr. Lu recalled the appearance of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens just now, and quickly told her what he had seen and heard before.

The high priest's calm gaze was fixed on Cheng Jiao.

"It was you who opened the Blue Dragon Seven Stars?"

After taking a look at the high priest with a cold and elegant face, a plump figure, and a mature and noble temperament, Cheng Jiao said calmly, "Not bad."

The high priest sighed, “Back then, after the Goddess of the Nine Heavens, together with the Yellow Emperor and the immortals and gods, sealed the demon god Chi You and isolated the world from the outside world, she mysteriously disappeared.

With the help of the power left by the goddess, Huangdi melted the Xuanyuan Sword and created seven bronze treasure boxes and a magic sound treasure box to leave a glimmer of hope for future generations of this world to become gods.

I thought that after the great changes in the world and the destruction of the demon god Chi You, the Seven Stars of Azure Dragon would be opened under the guidance of fate, but I didn’t expect that…”

After the high priest finished his sigh, he said, "Since you are the one chosen by the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, everyone in Loulan should obey you. From now on, you are the king of Loulan. And this Xiao Li will become the saint of Loulan."

Cheng Jiao never thought that one day, his body would shake and the high priest would directly give all Loulan to him.

"This... High Priest, my original intention was only to take away the Chiyou Sword. I don't want to be the king of Loulan."

He also had to take the Chiyou Sword and Xiao Li to Yu Yuan to see how to solve the hidden danger. He didn't have the time to be the king of a small country with a population of less than 10,000.

The high priest said slowly: "The rules left over from thousands of years of Loulan are that only after becoming the king of Loulan, marrying the saint and the high priest, and performing sacrifices and prayers, can the seal be opened and the Chiyou sword be taken out."

According to ancient legend, apart from the Queen Mother of the West and Huangdi's Xuanyuan Sword, the only weapon that could kill the demon god Chi You was his own weapon, the Chi You Sword.

The Chiyou Sword was forged by the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens herself, and it contains endless power. As long as the evil nature on it is washed away, it will become a divine weapon that can kill gods.

There was no doubt that Cheng Jiao wanted to take away the Chiyou Sword and save the world.

Xiao Li was a little confused. What was going on? She had to get married just after becoming a saint?

Cheng Jiao was speechless. What a guy! If he took the sword away, not only would he have to become the King of Loulan, but he would also have to marry the high priest and Xiao Li.

"Is there no other way?"

The high priest nodded without any shyness and said, "Yes, but it requires the dragon soul to awaken and the power of the sacrifice and prayer to open the seal and take out the Chiyou sword."

Every high priest needs to keep his body clean and cannot marry for the rest of his life.

She was extremely lucky to have met someone she could marry, someone who was approved by the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens. There was no reason for her to be shy.

Cheng Jiao glanced at the Pi Xiu, which was as motionless as a stone ball. God knew when it would wake up.

Yan Fei's red lips moved slightly: "My lord, time is urgent, get the Chiyou Sword first."

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. According to the divination made by Junior Sister and Young Master today, as the spiritual energy between heaven and earth recovers faster, the seal may be broken ahead of schedule, and the time may be less than three months.

It was just taking in two more women. Compared with the many women in the mansion now, it was just a drop in the bucket and would not be a problem for her at all.

Besides, the young master hasn't had a daughter for several years, and there are rumors spreading outside.

Cheng Jiao did not refuse or agree, but asked Xiao Li: "Are you willing?"

When Mr. Lu saw Xiao Li hesitating, he immediately began to analyze the pros and cons for Xiao Li and told him the current situation, almost pouring out his heart.

Xiao Li didn't understand these vague things, and he didn't hate Cheng Jiao. He hesitated for a long time and said, "Will many people die?"

Before Cheng Jiao could speak, the high priest stood up from the throne, came to Xiao Li, held Xiao Li's hand, and said slowly: "You are the Saint of Loulan, but you can also choose to disagree and give up the position of Saint. This is your due right."

Mr. Lu was shocked and said, "High Priest, are you going to sacrifice yourself? Absolutely not!"

Xiao Li widened his eyes and took a deep breath, "I do."

There was an inexplicable light in the Moon Goddess' beautiful eyes. This high priest was no simple man. He was retreating to advance, and he had the nerve to fool a little girl like this like an old man.

Cheng Jiao saw it, of course, but he couldn't point it out directly, so he could only say to Xiao Li: "Don't worry, we will be a family from now on, you don't have to worry."

Xiao Li, on the other hand, didn't care so much and even urged Cheng Jiao.

"Let's hold the ceremony as soon as possible, get the Chiyou Sword as soon as possible, and save the world as soon as possible."

She lived a good life in the border town and couldn't bear to see these people die inexplicably.

The high priest held up the scepter in both hands and said, "My king, please accept the scepter that belongs to you. As things are urgent, we will hold a coronation ceremony for you tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we will start the sacrifice and prayer to open the seal and obtain the Chiyou Sword for you. As for the marriage between me and the Saint Girl and you, we can postpone it and conduct a trial marriage first."

If it were managed according to the rules, the coronation would take at least ten days to half a month from preparation to succession.

Getting married also takes a lot of time.

But now things are special, so we have to keep things simple.

Cheng Jiao didn't expect that there was an option of trial marriage.

Without any hesitation, he agreed directly: "Okay, let's start tomorrow."

In this regard, he has never been vague. He just makes himself suffer a little, just a little bit of hardship.
