Chapter 612: Princess Loulan
A few people went up the second floor through the stairs next to them, and found themselves in a large hall, which was quite magnificent, and this was the real palace scene.
"Look!" The ghost wind chime said directly in front of him.
Everyone looked and saw that there was a dragon chair in front of them, and that's it, and the most important thing was that on the dragon chair, there was a figure sitting on it!
The figure was dressed in a yellow robe, nodding slightly, the crown on his head completely covered his face, and everyone's hearts jumped, is this a person or a ghost? This is probably a question on everyone's mind.
"Let's take a look?" A song of departure proposed, Xi Bai nodded in agreement, and raised his feet and walked forward, even if the other party is a dry corpse, there are so many of them, what is there to be afraid of!
As everyone solved it, the figure on the dragon chair actually raised his head, Xi Bai's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly stopped, and as the figure raised his head, what was revealed was actually a skull!
In the skull's eye sockets, two red flames flickered, making it even more eerie.
"Who are you? Why disturb Lone's sleep! It was like a voice from hell, and it echoed through the hall, and it was impossible to hear where it came from, but everyone knew that it was the skeleton that spoke!
"You...... Are you the king of Loulan? When he really saw the other party's appearance, the ghost wind chimes became bolder, and they actually spoke directly to the other party.
"Yes, it's the widow, who are you? What are you doing here? What several people didn't expect was that this Skeleton King actually answered!
Xi Bai's heart moved, the other party can talk to them, then at least it means that they are intelligent, that is to say, the intelligence is very high, but is the other party a monster or an NPC? What is the purpose of the other party's appearance?
"We are adventurers who came here, we came from far away, and we heard that Loulan is a very beautiful place, so we came to see it." Xi Bai's heart moved, it was casual nonsense, but it was like that.
"I see, Loulan! It was indeed a beautiful place before, but it's a pity, it's a pity......" The Skeleton King said with some sighs.
Xi Bai raised his eyebrows, listening to the meaning of the other party's words, it seemed that he had really triggered something? A song next to him quietly gave Xi Bai a thumbs up, Xi Bai touched his nose, he was really just saying it casually!
But at this time, he naturally didn't need the guidance of others, and said, "What is a pity? ”
The Skeleton King seemed to fall into the memory, and said faintly after a while: "Loulan is indeed very beautiful, but that was a long time ago, adventurers from afar, would you like to hear a story?" ”
Well, at this time, can you choose not to listen? Naturally, no!
Hearing Xi Bai's affirmative answer, the Skeleton King began to tell the story, which was naturally about Loulan.
Loulan is a city a long time ago, but also a kingdom, in the Western Regions, different from other places in the desert, here is a beautiful landscape, quite a Jiangnan scenery, of course, at that time in the Western Regions, maybe not everywhere desert.
However, Loulan is still the most beautiful place here, and the beautiful environment brings trade and population, and Loulan was very prosperous at that time, it was simply a paradise!
Xi Bai doesn't know whether this is true or not, but it seems that the real Loulan in history is really good, so how did the later things happen?
The Skeleton King continued to tell that he was the last king of the Loulan Kingdom, and when he was in his twenties, he had a daughter, and when his daughter was eighteen years old, she had become the most beautiful girl in Loulan, and even everyone who saw her thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world!
The kingdom regards its daughter as the pearl of the palm, and the admirers are in an endless stream, all want to marry Princess Loulan home, after all, if you can marry Princess Loulan, it not only means that you will get a beauty, but also get the entire Loulan Kingdom! After all, after King Loulan had this daughter, he had no other children!
It's just that Princess Loulan faced many admirers, but she didn't choose one of them, because she didn't like them, or she didn't know what kind of person she liked. This also stumped the king of Loulan, and he didn't know who to marry his daughter, after all, the people who came to propose to Princess Loulan were all princes of the surrounding kingdoms, and each of them was a leader, which was too difficult to judge.
Later, Princess Loulan came up with an idea for herself, she herself was very fond of drinking, so she decided that if anyone could give her the best wine, she would marry whom!
After Xi Bai heard this, his heart suddenly moved, thinking of the beautiful female corpse in the sarcophagus he saw in the secret room before, could it be that Princess Loulan? He nodded secretly, feeling that he was not guessing.
The Skeleton King continued to tell that after Princess Loulan announced the news, everyone went crazy, after all, Princess Loulan just said that whoever can come up with the best wine will marry whomever she wants, but there is no stipulation who this person is, that is to say, those princes have a chance, even ordinary people, even beggars, have a chance to marry a princess!
Under this temptation, all the subjects of the Loulan Kingdom, and even other kingdoms, joined the search for fine wine, and many began to learn to make wine on their own, even if they could not make fine wine, they hoped to impress the princess through their sincerity.
Then people began to come to the Loulan Kingdom with the wine they found and send it to the hands of Princess Loulan, hoping that their wine could be favored by the princess. Princess Loulan was very happy, she had never seen so much wine, as a lover of wine, as an alcoholic, it was undoubtedly the happiest thing to be able to drink all the fine wine in the world!
Princess Loulan kept drinking, and finally even forgot her original intention, which was to find a husband for herself, but was completely immersed in the wine, so she did not choose any of these people who sent the wine.
Of course, this may be true, after all, there is a good saying, there is no best, only better!
So more people brought her wine, and Princess Loulan was even happier and continued to immerse herself in it, but still didn't choose anyone, and some people began to be disappointed.
In order to be able to marry the princess, everyone had to continue to make wine and look for fine wine, until one day, from the Loulan Palace, a news came out, saying that Princess Loulan was just to satisfy her appetite, and she had no idea of looking for a husband at all, and you were all fooled!
After the news came out, there was an uproar, feeling that I was being played with by a woman, although this is a beautiful woman, but as a man, this is also something that cannot be allowed!
After hearing the news, Princess Loulan was also a little panicked, feeling that what she had done was indeed a bit excessive, in order not to cause public outrage, she had to announce that after the next batch of fine wine was delivered, she would definitely choose one of them as her husband, and she swore to the true god that this time she was definitely not lying!
Everyone once again believed the princess's words and looked for wine again, but at this time, an evil wizard came to the Loulan Kingdom, and after hearing about this, he was very angry at the princess's actions, and he decided to take revenge on the princess and make the other party pay for his actions!
The wizard has great powers, he brews his own wine, and he uses sorcery to make it the best wine in the world, but whoever drinks it will sleep forever until he dies!
The wizard took this wine, came to the kingdom of Loulan alone, and handed the wine to the princess, after the princess of Loulan smelled the fragrance of this wine, she was immediately immersed in it, unable to extricate herself, feeling that she had finally found the best wine in the world! It's just that what makes her a little embarrassed is that the wizard is very old, in his seventies, the hair on his head has long been thin, and the wrinkles on his face are like orange peel!
That's it, this wizard is still very ugly, and it can't be compared to her beauty at all, does she really want to marry such an old and ugly wizard? She only now thought that her previous decision had such a big loophole, maybe at that time, she thought that there was no best wine in the world, everyone's taste is different, and she could have chosen a very handsome person to be her husband.
It's just that she didn't expect that after seeing the wine given to her by the wizard, she really couldn't deny that this was the best wine in the world, and there really was the best wine in the world!
And just when she hesitated, not knowing whether to abide by her decision, marry a wizard, or go against her own will and choose a good prince at random, the wizard couldn't sit still, Princess Loulan's practice of judging people by appearance made him angry again, and his revenge against the other party was stronger!
He said, "Princess, why don't you taste the wine that is below?" After all, you only smell the smell, you don't really taste it, and I'm sure if you do take a sip, you'll never forget it. ”
Hearing this, Princess Loulan temporarily gave up her choice and picked up the wine glass in front of her, after all, she actually wanted to know very much what it tasted like if it was just a wine that made people intoxicated when she smelled it.
Looking at the amber color in the wine glass, because of the jade liquor-like wine, Princess Loulan did not suspect anything else, she drank it directly, feeling that the wine passed through her throat and fell into her abdomen, an extremely refreshing feeling instantly spread throughout her body, making the princess scream comfortably, that beautiful feeling, it is impossible to describe in words!
But she never opened her eyes again......
