Chapter 91 - Mural II

Because Lory condition they postpone their time to enter the tomb, they decide to make a camp inside the ruin mong Yi prepare dinner for them and Mong Ki prepare the tent, Zhao Li Xin lean on the wall while Lory sill sleep on his embrace, he not dare to move worry he would disturb her, it took two hours for her stop muttering her cheek still stain with tears mark he tries gently to wiped her cheeks.

From the distance they heard the sound of numerous footstep increasing, Mong ki and mong Yi immediately stand on guard, Bei Li Yan and Jin Hao also become instantly vigilant, they don't know are they friend or foe.

A familiar middle-aged man enter the ruined he is general Fu Xiao Jin, behind her Ming Ru Yi who already changed her tattered dress to a same frilly dress with soft peach color, she even managed to return her hairstyles to the previous one she had before enter the forbidden forest, on her right and left her fanboy stood there who also already back to their previous appearance.

Mong Ki and Mong Yi pondering 'Did they have not learned anything from their last experience' they only message their temple try to hold their mockery, General Fu surprised to see Zhao Li Xin group again but then he feels embarrassed when they look at them with amazed and ridiculed, he knew what they are thinking.

"Greeting young Master's, it's a pleasure to meeting you all again" he bow respectfully at them, Zhao Li Xin and the others nodded politely, Ming Ru Yi rejoice when she see Zhao Li Xin again but she instantly her nostril flared when she see Zhao Li Xin embracing Lory in his arms the women seem to sleep peacefully on his chest, Ming Ru Yi can't hide her blatant jealousy.

"Is the young miss sick?" General Fu still feels grateful after what happened with fire monkey but before he had a chance to ask her name she already left.

"She just tired," said Bei Li Yan.

"If she tired she should rest in a tent, why is she clinging with a man like that, people would question her behavior" Ming Ru Yi scowl at lory even though the girl won't hear her.

Zhao Li Xin who already in a bad mood because what happened with Lory he glare viciously at Ming Ru Yi, she got intimidated by Zhao Li Xin blatant threat she not dare to stare at him, she suddenly become meek then cowering to her fanboy, the fanboy elated to comfort the beauty they even dare to give Zhao li Xin sting eyes.

Zhao Li Xin don't have time playing with them, he turned his gaze away while stroking Lory's hair, but General Fu face become red he had not thanked them to save the princess and helping them fight the beast, they even warned them from the incoming powerful beast, if not because of them not to mention protecting the Princess he might not able protecting himself, but his Princess keep aggravating Zhao Li Xin group, she might not feel ashamed but he is.

"Apology for our behavior, I do not even know these Young master name" General Fu sit cross leg in front of them while bending his waist deeply.

"General Fu, you are respected General of Liang Zu Kingdom, how could you bow to nobody like them!!" one of the fanboys chide Fu Xiao Jin, they don't want to accept Zhao Li Xin group as an equal to them.

"This nobody had to save our life before, young Master might forget but this old general never forget how to return a favor" general Fu said firmly, his righteous words shut up the young master mouth, general Fu subordinated also think the same if not because Zhao Li Xin group how many of their brother in arms would die.

Bei Li Yan sneered "Young princess didn't need to be worry with our young miss reputation, she is our Lord future wife and you'll see how much our Lord pampered her, so your worry is unnecessary" Bei Li Yan deliberately slap Ming Ru Yi face, he wants to make her realize how much Zhao Li Xin love Lory.

"Oh, so this woman is young Lord fiancée, congratulation!" General fu cupped his fist respectfully, he has a good opinion about Lory, people said you never knew someone until you fight with them side by side.

When he fights with Lory, he can see her strong personality, her strength under pressure and her calmness under duress situation, if she a man he would personally recruit her, he wouldn't care if she a waste or not, she can have a position as advisor or strategist.

"My name is Bei Li Yan, and this young miss is our future madam her name is Luo Ri Yi" Bei Li Yan's behavior with general Fu becomes mild, the truth is the general character reminds him a lot with Jiang Jin Wei the gold Lion palace King.

"Nice to meet you master Bei" there small exchanged make him feel relief, he really doesn't want to against Zhao Li Xin group especially when they are is the wronged side.

Suddenly his face become stiff, Bei li Yan puzzles why Fu Xiao Jin suddenly quiet, he follows general Fu gaze, the General stare at the Mural with disbelieved expression, he hastily raised from his seat he grab torch with him while anxiously approaching the mural, he raised his torch in above his head so he can see the mural clearly.

"IT'S REAL!" he gasped "After all these years, it turns out to be real" he murmured to himself with half shocking and half laughing expression.

"General, do you know about this painting?" Bei Li Yan patted general Fu shoulder lightly.

"Master Bei, oh…..yes…yes…I know, well it's just a story tale" his words jumble between shocked, happy and sad.

"May you care to explained?" Jin Hao suddenly approaches general Fu, he also intrigued by the General reaction.

General Fu nod his head "It's a story, my grandmother used to said when I was a kid" general Fu turn around facing the mural he pointing as the first mural "Once upon a time a long time before the Liang Zu Kingdom exist, a star fall from heaven to this land the stars shine so bright it's awake the nearest tribe who lives there, all of them try to find out what is that light comes from but no one can't get near the light no matter how strong they are, they all push by mysterious power but then…."

General fu use his torch point at the second Mural "The Chief of the tribes suddenly collapse in front of the light, no one knows how or what happened with their chief, and for days the chief remains unconscious, no matter what they do the chief did not wake up but his not dead…..no his sleeping"

Bei Li Yan and Jin hao look at each other, sleep, mysterious light, isn't that the same situation with Luo Ri Yi at that time "Then what happened?" Jin Hao suddenly becomes more curious.

"She came.." general Fu pointing at the woman pictured with silver hair "A diety come to his dream, he told him to protect the light for return she will give him power from the light but only him and his descendants"

General Fu point to the third mural with tree painting on it and the man kneeled in front the tree as if he worships it "Next day the chief walk at the light source, he touches the light and miraculously the light transform in to a tree, a tree with white trunk and purple leaf, the chief absorb the tree power and become the most powerful person on the land"

General Fu then look sad while pointing the next Mural "With his power he makes his tribes become the most powerful tribes in this land and he establishes an empire for himself and for few hundreds of years the kingdom was strong and prosper and his descendant continue protecting the tree as their most precious treasure"

"That's a good thing isn't it, why don't you look happy?" Bei Li Yan confused.

General Fu shakes his heard with disheartening expression "Human heart change with time, they forgot about the diety grace for them, they become greedy, they hunger for power is insatiable, they start to fight to each other, they killed each other and the war is happening" Fu Xiao Jin point at the gruesome painting who mostly cover with red paint.

"The diety disappointed with how they behaved the one day she created an avalanched she the pull the tree too deep of the earth so no one could ever reach it again, only then they realize what had they done wrong, the story said the Emperor orders his best painter to create Mural on his palace wall as a reminder their gift and their fault so his descendants would not repeat their mistake again"

Everyone silence, they never knew this ruined have a grand story as such, involving God, treasure and the Emperor, this like a fairy tale if they never saw the Mural they would never believe that kinda story could be real.

"But why it's cover with wall?" Bei Li Yan starts to asks again.

General Fu sighs helplessly "Human heart cannot be trusted, the next Emperor saw the tree as a curse that would end his Kingdom and treated his family survival, he decided to make everyone forget about the existence of the tree, he covers the mural on his palace then he took all his Kingdom away from this place, he builds his Kingdom away from this place and hope someday people would forget about the tree, and they did...."

"And that Kingdom that he rebuild, is that the Liang Zu Kingdom?" Jin hao easily conclude.

General Fu nodded their head "It is, that's how the Liang Zu Kingdom made, and we all stand on the ruined of Liang Zu Kingdom ancestry" Fu Xiao Jin words fill with proud and amazement for his ancestor, they all look to surround the palace ruined around them they imagine how magnificent this place was, how grandeur it must be when the Emperor and his subordinated still rule this place.
