Chapter 58: Silk Book

The sound of bells came, and under the leadership of the Little Demon Child, the cadres of the Quiet City began to distribute opium to the old men and slaves in the white robe. Each of them was so obedient, as if it was natural to accept the leadership of the Little Demon Child.

Since they were willing to surrender to a child so much, and this child was a descendant of the Eastern Prince and Duke, Penglai has been an independent hereditary country since ancient times. It is not based on the arrival of Xu Fu of the Qin Dynasty and is in charge of the overall situation. People living on the third floor of the Red Gold Tower are all the Eastern Prince and Duke clan with tails.

Perhaps "Dongwanggong" does not refer specifically to a certain person, but a title that can be passed down. Anyone who ranks on the throne is called "Dongwanggonggong"!

I can imagine that, for example, the person in the pattern on the head is the tenth generation prince and the little demon child is the thirty generation. Since the little tail born by Lulu can be raised by Qilin in three floors, maybe he is the master of the 31st generation Penglai!

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was an Emperor Shang of Han who ascended the throne and became the emperor only about 100 days after he was born. Now the little demon boy is about 8 years old. If the previous Eastern Prince died early, it would not be impossible for him to ascend the throne!

Unfortunately, Lulu couldn't speak, and she died suddenly. Otherwise, we would have known the origin of Xiao Tai first. We should have figured out a lot of Penglai's many secrets!

If the Penglai people have always followed the leadership of the Eastern Prince and the Little Demon Tong is the new Prince, then the structure of this country is no suspense. The key question is that the city is full of people from the Qin Dynasty. Their boss has changed from Xu Fu to such a young Prince. Any young man can beat him up. Why do you still surrender to him?

Adjutant Li said that the master of Penglai killed all those who said bad things and those who were unwilling to rule. We originally thought that Xu Fu did something bad. Now it seems that this cruel devil may also be a little demon child.

At present, the people who are still unwilling to rule are the group of insect friends in the water forest. Since Xu Fu is not the boss, the target they want to overthrow is the Little Demon Child. I immediately became confused. The Little Demon Child is so precocious at this age that he has learned to control the people with opium. It is obvious that he will not be a good thing when he grows up. Whether he overthrows him or kills him, it has nothing to do with me.

But Lulu's children also have tails. If the insect friend wants to be king, his temper will obviously not let this innocent child go. Should I continue to help him play the role of an undercover agent and finally kill this child who I have made up my mind to protect?

I put the golden mask in my hand on the baby's little face and gestured. He was so small that his entire head was not half as big as the mask. All he needed was healthy growth. I don't want him to get involved in these messy battles in Penglai.

But why does the mask have to look like a bird's face? Why does the inside and out of the Red Gold Tower revolve around the theme of "Three-legged Blue Bird"?

I scratched my head and thought about it for a long time, thinking that the image of the blue bird might be the totem worship of Penglai.

For example, in the outside world, emperors of all dynasties liked to use the image of "dragon" as national totem. Then, all buildings, carvings and layouts in the entire palace are mainly dragons. The white jade flower is plated with dragons, and the bed is painted with dragons. Even the spoons for eating have to be carved with a small dragon head.

In order to achieve a more majestic effect, the emperors wore dragon robes and dragon boots, and claimed to be the incarnation of dragons.

Perhaps the same as this idea, the people in Penglai like blue birds, so the owner here put on the blue bird mask and claimed that he was the incarnation of blue birds to show his authority.

Although you can barely figure out how to use the mask, the dragon throne in the Blue Bird Palace in front of you seems to be out of place.

In Chinese history, the first person to use "dragon" as his identity was the First Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty. He called himself the "ancestral dragon", so "the emperor sat on the dragon throne" should be a rule that was passed down since the Qin Dynasty.

From this point of view, the owner of the Red Gold Tower was the Eastern Prince of All Eternal Dynasties, but the dragon throne was an external object, and it belonged to Xu Fu.

Xu Fu could not have brought a dragon throne from Qin Shihuang. This one should have been remolded from the inexhaustible gold from the island after he came to Penglai to establish himself as king.

There was a big contradiction: since he could cast a dragon throne, it means that Xu Fu was indeed ready to be king. The Qin ministers he brought were still orderly practicing alchemy. Although most of the three thousand boys died, the rest grew up healthily until they became old men. Everything seemed to be Xu Fu's world. We all thought that he was enjoying the glory and wealth of Penglai in the three-story pavilion, but the situation in front of him was that the dragon throne was sitting under him by a little kid.

The dilapidated "Emperor of the Shaoyang Emperor of Donghua Purple Mansion" in the second floor pavilion indicates that Xu Fu once occupied the pavilion belonging to the Dong Prince. Now that the little demon boy is in power, the pavilion has returned to its original owner. So, how did he drive away Xu Fu? Where did Xu Fu himself run away?

"Dingling--"

The overwhelming question was interrupted by the little demon boy's golden bell. The crisp sound could be spread far and far in the quiet and empty city. I shook my hair and changed my mind. Suddenly I thought of an experiment of conditioned reflexes mentioned in the biology book:

There is a man named Paplov in Russia. He would ring a few electric rings before feeding his puppy. After a long time, as long as the puppy hears the electric ring, even if he is not fed it, it will secrete saliva through conditioning reflexes and prepare to eat meat.

The experiments of Little Demon Child and Bapurov are similar. He treats subjects who long for opium like feeding dogs. Not to mention that the drug addiction of opium is difficult to quit. Even if someone makes up a hundred determination not to attend the meeting in front of the palace, as long as the golden bell of Little Demon Child sounds, his body will reflex to cause each cell to remember the opium. Such temptation is a torture that doubles the mental and hysteria. I think if it were my drug addiction attack, I would definitely not be able to resist the bell of Little Demon Child.

The penetration of the ringtone is very strong, and I can hear it clearly in the three confined spaces of the Chijin Tower. Then the rat in the drug rehabilitation center must be listening clearly. He is right below the square where opium is within reach but cannot be grasped, and he must be sad and dead at this moment.

I understood Dr. Lin's good intentions. If he gave the puppy a signal to start a meal, he would not give food. Over time, the puppy would no longer have saliva secretion when he heard the signal. Dr. Lin did not transport the mouse out of the city and handed it over to Donghuang insect friends. It was precisely using this "disappearance" method to weaken the mouse's body's reaction to the ringtone. Otherwise, we just let go of the mouse, and the little demon child here shook the bell, and he became a slave to opium again.

Thinking of Dr. Lin, I really wanted to look through a window to see the scene of the gathering below. Dr. Lin was below, but since I came back, I had not had time to meet him.

However, the space here is quite sealed, with no windows, and only a row of ventilation holes were chiseled on the roofs around it, and a few rays of light were faintly emitting.

If you want to see the scenery, the best place should be the large terrace on the pattern above your head. However, at this moment, the small door leading to it has been closed by layers of bricks.

I moved over and tried to move it, and found that these bricks did not stick together like city walls, but were built together, blocking the way out to the outside world.

I calculated it. It took a long time to clear these obstacles with my physical strength. The gathering in front of the palace had already begun. I didn’t have time to make any tricks before the little demon boy came back.

The quiet little baby suddenly started crying, and my ears hurt violently. I was a little uncomfortable when I got used to the quiet environment and suddenly screamed like this!

I rushed over and took a look-

I'm having diarrhea!

I finally knew why the little demon boy brought me up to take care of the child. How do I deal with this kind of shit in a wooden basket?

I frowned and pulled out the white cloth under it, turned the baby over, trying to wipe his butt, but this guy's little tail suddenly swung like a puppy, and he swayed the yellow things everywhere!

shit!

I quickly rubbed his tail with the corner of the white cloth that was not stained with shit, wiped him clean, then turned over and patted his balloon-like belly, hoping that he would go to bed quickly. I have never had any experience in coaxing children, and his howling echoed in the almost confined space, and my headache was about to crack!

Qilin nurse supported her body and looked at me as if she was very contemptuous. Then she gently licked the baby's head to comfort her, then picked up the wooden basket, shaking it gently, while arching the jade curtain, stepping on the pile of debris, bent down and stuffing her nipples into the baby's mouth.

The crying immediately subsided. I was really ashamed to stay there. As a human woman, I was not as good as an animal to take care of children!

I couldn't find the trash can, so I had to throw the dirty and smelly diapers aside and follow me behind the jade curtain, wanting to learn the parenting scriptures from my mother Qilin.

The pile of debris was trampled into a mess again. Before I could take a step, I stepped on a cylinder and almost fell to the ground!

I picked up the thing and saw it. It was an item made of bamboo. It felt like a "bamboo rice" and could be opened from the middle!

Of course, this must be some ancient object. What is revealed from it is not the fragrant and hot rice, but the soft cloth like a piece of clothing.

Before the little demon boy came up, I quickly spread it out and laid it flat on the ground, pulled the oil lamp and lit it carefully-

This is a huge brocade painting with a large ship riding the wind and waves. Several large flags are flying on the hull. There are a group of curious children in the cabin, rushing to look out from the cabin window.

The writing and paintings on silk fabrics are called silk books. Cai Lun, who invented papermaking, was a native of the Han Dynasty. The silk books were generally popular between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Western Han Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty was just sandwiched during this period and worshipped black. They used black as the top black, and their clothes and flags were mainly black. Looking at the flags on the boat and the boatman's clothes, I can almost determine that this painting was a product of the Qin Dynasty.

On the bow of the boat, there was a person who was incompatible with the black boat. He had white hair and a snow-white robe, which seemed like an immortal outside the world.
