Chapter 356

Tuoba Qianjun, the high priest of Loulan Kingdom, is also the master of the forest temple. He is in charge of ten thousand poisonous snakes and the killers of spirit lizards in and out of the desert.

Every year on the two days of spring equinox and autumn equinox, he presides over the ceremony of the queen of Loulan's sacrifice to the gods.

As a matter of fact, his main duty is to act as a "minister at will": so far, he has assisted two Loulan queens and has the decision-making power to decide which member of the royal family will become the monarch!

To put it this way, Tuoba Qianjun is the second powerful figure in Loulan Kingdom besides the queen of Loulan. Even when the little prince mogo saw him, he had to be respectful to him.

Therefore, every time he came to see Loulan queen, he didn't have to kneel down at all, just a symbolic fist salute with both hands.

There is a rule in China that Loulan queen must go to the forest temple in the daytime.

It must be night when the king comes to the palace.

Tuoba Qianjun stood not far behind her and did not speak after he saluted Loulan Wang.

Loulan king also did not speak, as if she summoned Tuoba Qianjun to come, just for the sake of the two people in silence.

In fact, the two people are staring at each other's eyes, just separated by a layer of gauze, can not see it.

Tuoba Qianjun's face is covered with black gauze, and her eyes are hidden behind the black gauze, while Loulan Wang's eyes are behind the mask, so Tuoba Qianjun can blink, but she can't.

However, in the next four or five minutes, Loulan Wang's cold and bright eyes never blinked, as if they were not eyes, but a pair of gems that could shine.

Rub rub - outside came the foot sound of the bodyguard patrolling the palace, breaking the current silence.

Tuoba Qianjun bowed his head slightly and said slowly, "Your Highness, have you really decided to do that?"

Loulan king then moved his eyes, turned to look out of the window again, and said faintly, "high priest Tuoba, let me ask you a question. How many generations of monarchs have you experienced since you were a child?"

Tuoba Qianjun was silent for a moment before he said, "four generations of monarchs."

Loulan king asked: "how old are you this year?"

Tuoba Qianjun replied: "in nine days, it will be my 33rd birthday."

Loulan King's cold voice: "you are only 33 years old this year, but you have experienced four generations of Loulan monarchs. If you don't count my two years in office, you have experienced three monarchs in 31 years. According to the patriarchal system, every monarch under the age of 17 is not allowed to ascend the throne. In this way, the average life span of the first three monarchs is only about 28 years old. "

After a pause, the Loulan King's voice was sad: "twenty eight years old, whether in ancient times or in modern times, are very young - but why, three generations of monarchs, can only live to twenty-eight years old? Let's ignore these three generations for the time being. Let's push forward ten generations of monarchs. Who can live beyond 40? Who can live more than 21 years? "

Tuoba Qianjun didn't say a word, because he knew what Loulan king wanted to say.

Loulan Wang sighed and continued: "it's because I know that Mo GE's life will not exceed 21 years old, so I Pamper him in every way. The purpose is to let him enjoy everything that others can enjoy in a lifetime in a limited time! Tuoba Qianjun, you say, why can the royal family only have such a short life? Why

Tuoba Qianjun was silent for a long time before he said in a dumb voice: "that's because, because the royal family can only marry close relatives."

"Ha ha, high priest, you know the reason."

Loulan Wang giggled and turned to look at him. His eyes became deep and terrible, and his voice became light: "if according to the ancestral system, who should I marry when I get married 20 years later?"

The black yarn on Tuoba Qianjun's face trembled. But he didn't speak.

Loulan King's voice still sounds like that: "tell me, who should I marry?"

As if he had something in his mouth, Tuoba said with great difficulty: "according to the ancestral system, her royal highness should marry Hu Yesa on the vernal equinox after the Spring Festival..."

Loulan queen suddenly cut off Tuoba Qianjun's words in a sharp voice: "what's the relationship between you and me?"

This time, Tuoba Qianjun didn't answer immediately, but after a long silence, he said slowly: "the father of her royal highness and the father of huyesa are brothers. Her royal highness and Prince JESA are cousins

As if she didn't know anything, the Loulan queen always asked, "who else can I marry besides yessa?"

Biting his teeth, Tuoba Qianjun replied: "it can only be, it's Mo Ge. Because among the male members of the royal family, only yessa and mogo are of the age to marry her royal highness. "

"Oh, so it is."

Loulan King seems to smile, and asked: "if I ascend the sky at about 28 years old, who will be in charge of Loulan?"

Tuoba can answer: "once your royal highness ascends to heaven, your replacement will be saliya, who is seven years old. And five-year-old Daisy, four-year-old... 18 years from now, maybe your daughter will be a new queen. "

Tuoba Qianjun said the names of four or five royal girls in one breath. It seems that he had a detailed plan in his mind.

Looking at Tuoba Qianjun, Loulan King's eyes, which could not be covered by his mask, slowly rose to madness, and his voice became hoarse: "Tuoba Qianjun, why do members of the royal family have to marry close relatives?"

Tuoba Qianjun raised his head and calmly replied: "this is to keep the purity of blood! It's the first generation of king after Loulan's rebirth, which can't be disobeyed! Only in this way can the female members of the royal family keep the most beautiful appearance from generation to generation, enter the Shura path after ascending the sky and become immortal! Therefore, even if the life span of the royal family is not long, the queen can live forever as long as she is dedicated to doing good deeds! "

It is said that there are six ways in the world: one is the way of heaven, the other is the way of Shura, the third is the way of humanity, the fourth is the way of animals, the fifth is the way of hungry ghosts, and the sixth is the way of hell.

Among them, the upper three Dao are the three good Dao, because their operation (good and evil two karma, namely cause and effect) is better.

The lower three ways are three evil ways. Because of their heavy work, all living beings who are immersed in segmented life and death have no six ways of reincarnation.

It is said that the men in Shura road are extremely ugly and the women are extremely beautiful. Their blessings are very great. They are not far away from all living beings in heaven and can almost live forever. All living beings born in this way have great good karma in their past lives, but because of their habit of hatred, they are not born in the heaven, and can only incarnate in this kind of life form which is like heaven rather than heaven.

It is said that all beings of Shura Taoism are very angry and envious. They often fight against all beings in the heaven, but they are often beaten back and beaten black and blue.

It is said that all living beings in this way, although they have great fortune, longevity and intelligence, are not happy because of their hatred.

It is said that the male Shura, who is always brave and fierce in every way, attacks the heavenly king from time to time in order to win the throne, while the female Shura, who is beautiful, often confuses all living beings and makes it difficult to practice.

Therefore, although male and female Shura do not have to suffer, they have a great chance to degenerate into the three evil ways after death.

"Ascend to the heaven, ascend to Shura Road, and become immortal?"

Loulan Wang murmured and repeated Tuoba Qianjun's words. Suddenly he gave a giggle and took off his mask.

When she giggled, Tuoba Qianjun trembled and quickly dropped his head.

After Loulan King took off his mask, the whole empty hall seemed to shine because of her beautiful appearance. Even the stars outside the window lost their brilliance!

What kind of face is this?

Even with all the words that describe beauty in the world, we can't describe the fate of this face!

Beauty, beauty to the extreme of the kind of beauty, beauty to her just one eye flow, can let all the men in the world, are willing to kneel under her skirt.

Charm all living beings!

Therefore, even Tuoba Qianjun, who lives in the forest temple all day and is associated with ten thousand snakes, does not dare to take a look.

But Loulan king said: "Tuoba Qianjun, you raise your face."

Tuoba Qianjun didn't look up, but his head dropped lower: "Your Highness, Tuoba Qianjun - dare not!"

The king of Loulan sneered and walked up to him with a light waist swing. He stretched out his right hand and gently raised his chin with his slender white index finger.

"Your Royal Highness!"

Tuoba Qianjun's throat was blocked. He was about to lift his right hand to push the hand away when Loulan Wang's left hand was pressed on his shoulder - then his whole strength disappeared and he was forced to lift his head.

Loulan King's eyes were flowing, and he said in a soft voice with a smile: "Tuoba Qianjun, if I tell you now, I don't want to be promoted to Shura road after death, I just want to find a satisfactory husband like other women in Loulan and have children for him - do you believe it?"

Tuoba Qianjun stared at Loulan king with dull eyes: "Your Royal Highness, I, I believe - but once you decide to marry a man other than the royal family, you will be polluted by the secular world. Not only can you no longer enter the Shura road after death, but you will die in unbearable pain..."

Loulan King's eyes, suddenly cold down, light said: "like 29 years left Loulan, married Shen ruoxuan of Subei mountain?"? I heard that after her death, her whole body was white and transparent. It looked like she had been poisoned by heaven. Her soul was confined in her body and disappeared with the disappearance of her body

"Yes, it is."

Tuoba Qianjun swallowed his breath and murmured: "however, your royal highness, you may also know that Shen ruoxuan, who was originally named Zhuoma, had to suffer seven days and seven nights in the forest temple before she gave up becoming the king of Loulan and left Loulan. In these seven days and seven nights, she was not a mortal beauty or a refined maiden, All of them will be left in the "confession column" in the center of the temple to become a beautiful woman who has no power to bind a chicken and is only as beautiful as a mortal woman. Her royal highness, beauty is more important than life for a woman. For the sake of the so-called love, I will give up the immortality of Teng Hou, the refined magic skill, and give up... "

Wang Song of Loulan pulled out his chin, and his voice was cold: "I just want to ask you, how old can Shen ruoxian's daughter live?"

With Loulan King's fingers away, Tuoba Qianjun felt relieved as if he had taken off a heavy load: "Subei mountain is a mortal. The children born after the combination with Zhuoma are no different from mortals except for some characteristics of Shura Taoism. According to the medical conditions there, you can live to about 80 years old. "

"Eighty, eighty?"

Loulan Wang repeated several times, and then suddenly laughed: "if my child can live to be 80 years old, no matter what I am asked to do, I will be willing."
