Ministers Begging Me to Ascend the Throne-Chapter 140 - 124: Divine Beast is Just Fabricated by People
Chapter 140: Chapter 124: Divine Beast is Just Fabricated by People
The village chief and Ding Shan were stunned for a while before coming back to their senses. Then they knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the White Deer, chanting "bless us" in their mouths.
Their expressions were very devout and full of reverence.
Liang Run and the others were already shocked by the sudden appearance of the White Deer, and now seeing the village chief and others sincerely bowing to it, they couldn’t help but want to kneel and kowtow too.
"Second Uncle, what are you doing?" Zhao Yao’s words interrupted Liang Run and the others’ movements of almost kneeling down.
"Bai Bai, Xiao Bai, this is my second uncle..." Zhao Yao introduced Liang Run and the others one by one to the White Deer and White Snake.
The White Deer politely nodded to them.
Liang Run and the others widened their eyes, incredulous at everything in front of them.
"Second Uncle, this is Bai Bai," Zhao Yao introduced the White Deer and White Snake to Liang Run and the others, "This is Xiao Bai."
Liang Run and the others were dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Tong Xi shouted loudly in his heart: Your Highness actually knows the Divine Beast White Deer!!!
The village chief, who had been kneeling on the ground, finally came to his senses a little, but his expression was still very shocked.
"Young Master, you and... the White Deer..."
"Bai Bai and the others gave me a dream at noon, wanting to be friends with me, so I specifically came to the mountains to find them," Zhao Yao said with a grin, hugging the White Deer’s head, "Bai Bai and Xiao Bai are my friends now."
The village chief and Liang Run and the others: "!!!!!!"
"Bai Bai, I forgot to ask you in the dream, are you the only White Deer in the mountains of Dahua Village?"
Bai Bai said, "I’m the only one now."
Zhao Yao suddenly noticed that the forest behind them had a lot of deer appear. Their bodies were brown with white spots.
"Bai Bai, are they..."
Bai Bai turned to look at its fellow deers and introduced to Zhao Yao, "They are my subjects and wish to meet you too."
"Sure." Zhao Yao waved to the group of deer not far away, "Come on over."
A group of deer gracefully walked towards Zhao Yao step by step.
Soon, Zhao Yao was surrounded by a bunch of them. He petted one deer here, kissed another deer there.
The herd seemed to like him very much, rubbing his face, nudging his head, and licking his face from time to time.
Liang Run and the others were once again stunned, staring dumbfounded at the scene before them.
Being around Zhao Yao often and seeing animals be close to him, Tong Xi was the first to come back to his senses.
Your Highness indeed is liked by animals.
But! But! Didn’t expect even the Divine Beast White Deer to like Your Highness!
Your Highness is indeed extraordinary!
Then, Liang Run came back to his senses, looking at Zhao Yao talking and laughing with the deer herd filled with pride in his eyes.
"Yao Yao, this kid is truly incredible!"
Tong An and Ding Yuan were already so shocked they couldn’t speak.
As for the village chief and Ding Shan, their eyes full of awe as they watched Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao smiled and said to Liang Run, "Second Uncle, Bai Bai and the others want to take me to play, you guys go back first."
Liang Run was a bit worried, "It’s getting dark soon, and you’re alone in the mountains, I’m worried."
"Second Uncle, Bai Bai and the others will protect me and send me back to the village, so don’t worry." Zhao Yao reassured him.
The White Deer knelt down, crouched low to let Zhao Yao sit on its back.
Zhao Yao waved to Liang Run and the others, "Second Uncle, you guys go back quickly." After speaking, the White Deer carried Zhao Yao and ran into the depths of the forest.
"Yao Yao!" Liang Run exclaimed and hurriedly chased after them, but the White Deer ran so fast that it disappeared quickly.
Tong Xi took it easy and comforted Liang Run, "Second Master, Young Master will be fine, you don’t need to worry." The animals were always obedient to Your Highness and never harmed him.
"This..."
"The White Deer is a Divine Beast, full of spirituality, it won’t harm Young Master and will send him back to the village." Tong Xi said, "Let’s go back to the village and wait for Your Highness."
Hearing what Tong Xi said, Liang Run was slightly relieved.
"Then, let’s head back first."
The village chief and Ding Shan finally fully returned to their senses and quickly asked Liang Run, "Second Master, what about Young Master and the White Deer..." what happened just now?
Liang Run smiled slightly, "Yao Yao has been loved by animals since he was young, and the White Deer in your village is very fond of Yao Yao."
"This... this... this..." The events that had just happened were too overwhelming for the village chief and others, they really didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Liang Run exclaimed, "I didn’t expect there really was a White Deer in your village." Yao Yao even likes the White Deer, it’s truly...
The village chief and others led Liang Run and the others down the mountain and back home.
Once they returned to the village, the village chief excitedly gathered the villagers together and told them they had just seen a White Deer.
The White Deer is very important to the villagers of Dahua Village. The reappearance of the White Deer was sure to cause a sensation in Dahua Village.
Upon learning that the White Deer was summoned by Zhao Yao, the villagers of Dahua Village believed he was the immortal child of the White Deer Immortal; otherwise, how could he summon the White Deer Immortal.
In no time, Zhao Yao transformed from a young master of a wealthy family into a little immortal child of the White Deer Immortal.
The villagers’ imagination was very rich, completely rivaling those who write storybooks. Just in this short time, they fabricated an astonishing story about Zhao Yao and the White Deer Immortal.
Tong Xi and Tong An were astonished as they listened, their eyes wide open.
Before dark, Zhao Yao was sent back to the village by a herd of deer, with the White Deer not among them.
The villagers had been waiting for Zhao Yao to return too. In the evening, seeing Zhao Yao riding a very tall deer, followed by a herd of deer, returning.
Zhao Yao found it very amusing that the villagers revered him as an immortal child.
He feared that this matter would spread beyond Dahua Village, bringing him unnecessary trouble, so he asked the village chief to tell the villagers not to speak of today’s events, especially anything about the White Deer, or else it might attract some officials like in the previous dynasty to come to Dahua Village to capture the White Deer.
The village chief agreed with Zhao Yao’s words; they must not let the tragedy of the previous dynasty repeat itself. He quickly gathered the villagers, urging them to keep today’s events a secret, or else their White Deer and other deer might be harmed by those ill-intentioned nobles.
The villagers of Dahua Village had waited so long for the White Deer to appear again, they certainly wouldn’t want their White Deer Immortal to be captured by officials. They swore to the village chief that they would not speak of this matter.
At dinner, the villagers brought the best food from their homes to the village chief’s house to "offer" to Zhao Yao, making him laugh and cry.
After dinner, Zhao Yao and Liang Run returned to the room.
"Yao Yao, what exactly happened? You didn’t encounter any danger in the mountains afterward, did you?" The afternoon’s events had been too unbelievable, and Liang Run was still in shock.
"Bai Bai is just an ordinary White Deer, not some immortal," Zhao Yao said helplessly, "Where in the world are there immortals?" Being treated as an immortal child, Zhao Yao just found it amusing.
Tong Xi chimed in, "Young Master, isn’t the White Deer a Divine Beast?"
"The White Deer is just a deer, it’s only that its fur is white, not some Divine Beast," Zhao Yao said, "Because White Deer are rare, ancient people regarded them as Divine Beasts."
"Yao Yao, not just the villagers of Dahua Village, but even others believe the White Deer is a Divine Beast," Liang Run reminded, "If it wasn’t a Divine Beast, people from the previous dynasty wouldn’t have come to Dahua Village to seek the White Deer."
"If you must say so, the White Deer is an Exotic Beast," Zhao Yao said, "There are many Exotic Beasts in the world, don’t assume they are Divine Beasts just because they are rare or unseen."
He continued, "Many people consider the White Deer a Divine Beast, mainly for some purposes, such as disguising themselves as immortals to gain people’s respect and offerings and have them do things for them. Ultimately, it’s still for fame and fortune."
Zhao Yao’s words were so realistic, shattering the image of the Divine Beast White Deer in Tong Xi and others’ minds.
Although Liang Run was shocked by the afternoon scene, deep down he still didn’t believe in the matter of Divine Beasts.
"Yao Yao, where did you go afterward, was there any danger in the mountains?"
"Second Uncle, there was no danger, Bai Bai took me around their territory, and we didn’t do anything else." Zhao Yao suddenly became a bit excited, "Second Uncle, there are many treasures in the mountains of Dahua Village, including lingzhi and ginseng. Tomorrow I’ll take you to the mountains, let’s dig up the lingzhi and ginseng."
Liang Run laughed, "Lingzhi and ginseng are good things. Your body isn’t very strong, they can be used to help restore your health."
"Bai Bai and the others shed their antlers every so often, and the antlers they shed are also in the mountains." He remembered antlers seemed to be a tonic, "Tomorrow we’ll go pick up antlers." If he brought them back to the capital to sell, they should fetch a good price.
Liang Run’s eyes lit up, "Antlers are indeed good things." Especially for men.
