When the princess thought of this, she felt that it would not be so difficult to deal with Pan.At the same time, she was sure that the young man had received her message, and she descended silently, softer than a feather fluttering down. The tree is not only tall, but also covers a wide area. Under the tree, there is a lawn with many neat stones.When the princess was near enough to see under the tree she saw the young man and Pan. The young man bent his knees and sat on a big rock in a very comfortable posture, looking at Pan in front of him, who was standing there. Seen from above, Pan's figure is very tall, and when he came into view, it felt quite weird, like a statue that suddenly came to life, not only weird, but also horrifying. Just imagine seeing a tall man in a museum. The scene where the statue suddenly comes alive.

Pan is waving his left hand, and in his right hand is holding a rather large clay jug, from which he is drinking wine from the jug.The princess sighed secretly: the young man said that the wine was not good, it was really against his will, the princess was on the tree, and with the shaking of the clay pot, she could already smell the tangy aroma of wine! Pan drank a few sips of wine, then stared at the young man again. Beside the young man was a pair of smaller earthenware jugs, which he also lifted up to drink from the jugs. Pan's expression seemed to be getting more and more impatient, but the young man looked very leisurely. He looked around, even raised his head, smiled, and made a grimace. He naturally knew that the princess was mainly here, and he was most likely to take advantage of her. The supernatural power fell from the sky, he had just received her message, so he could have guessed that she was hiding in the tree!

The princess also blinked at the young man hurriedly, although she knew that the young man couldn't see her because of the luxuriant branches and leaves! While drinking, the young man said: Admit defeat! Pan stomped his feet and roared like a bull. The princess noticed that the shape of Pan's feet was like a goat's hoof. According to the young man, there seemed to be a bet between them, and Pan lost the bet. up! Pan's bad temper was gradually revealed at this time, his roar sounded very scary, but that's all, but the stamp was so powerful that even the ground was shaken.

The princess first felt that the big tree she was hiding in shook for a while, and the leaves trembled wildly, but what happened next made the princess even more amazed and horrified! She saw that after Pan's heavy stamping, many groups of blue-green clouds suddenly flew up on the green grass, each of which was several meters in diameter. After those clouds flew high, she Only then did I realize that it was not a cloud at all, but a girl covered in a round felt made of green grass.There were at least seventeen or eighteen girls like this. After flying up, they circled all over the sky for a while before slowly falling down again.

Where they had covered the grass when they came out was a kind of beige rock, bare and rather ugly. After the girls fell down, the green round felt on their bodies covered the stone ground again, making the stone ground look like a beautiful grass field, and those girls obviously tried to stick as close as possible to the ground under the round felt. The stone is prostrate. This scene was so strange that not only the princess was inexplicably shocked, but also the young man couldn't expect it. The princess saw him drink three sips of wine in a row. Pan raised his chest and protruded his belly, with a complacent expression, he said loudly: Did you see it?I, Pan, drink here, and the goddesses will decorate the earth for me to please my eyes and eyes!And when I get angry, as long as I stamp my feet, they will fly up and beg for my forgiveness. Could it be that my authority is not as good as yours?

The princess was stunned when she heard Pan's words. This Pan is really extremely domineering. In the mythical world, he bullies the goddesses like this!Those poor goddesses, what kind of goddesses are they, they are not as good as slave girls in the world!Although there are many ways to abuse female slaves in the world, I have never heard of a master who asked the female slave to put on a round felt made of grass and lie down on the ground to pretend to be grass when drinking! This Pan is such a domineering and rampant god that the princess can't help worrying about the young man!

I only heard the young man laughing: I didn't say that your authority is not strong enough. Your authority is so great that it is incredible, but it has nothing to do with the topic of our bet. Remember what I bet?The princess also wanted to know what kind of bet the young man made with Pan. She naturally knew that what the young man said at this time was meant for her! Pan let out a muffled snort like a cow, and took another gulp of wine, but he didn't make a sound. The young man said: Our bet is that I know who and what you are, but you don't know who and what I am! As soon as the princess heard the topic of the bet, she was so happy that she almost didn't laugh out loud. Pan was fooled. This bet, the young man will undoubtedly win!In the myth, young people know everything about Pan, but Pan, as a god in the myth, how can he know the things in the world?

Sure enough, Pan snorted again, but still didn't answer. The young man chuckled: Well, since you can't answer, I'll let you go and ask the person who answers questions, and let him teach you how to answer! The tone of the young man was full of ridicule. After hearing this, Pan was very angry. He waved his hand vigorously, and poured the wine from the clay pot into his mouth. He yelled loudly: Go ask that big-headed monster who lives on the tree shed?How could he know something that even I don't know?You underestimate me too much, I am Pan! The young man shrugged: If you don't ask, it's up to you, why lose your temper over such a small question!

Pan was even more furious, raised his arms high, and uttered three earth-shattering roars in succession. With these three roars, the wind rose suddenly, the trees swayed wildly, and many strange-looking birds sprang out from the forest. Birds and beasts came, and another big cloud fell from the sky, just above the young man's head, spinning constantly, I don't know what kind of monster it is.In an instant, the scene became extremely horrifying, and everything happened so suddenly and so fast that even the princess on the tree forgot that she would never fall off the tree, and was so frightened. Hugging the branch tightly, we can know how powerful this sudden change is!

Immediately afterwards, from the cloud, a sudden hailstorm fell, and it fell on the young man. The young man still sat still, but raised the clay pot in his hand to cover his head. I saw those shiny hailstones hit the clay pot and made a crackling sound, but the pot didn't break. Seeing this situation, the princess let out a breath, knowing that although everything looked scary, it was mostly scary. The young man naturally saw this clearly, so he was very calm. After a while, all the accidents disappeared and returned to normal. The young man took a sip of wine and asked: "You can't answer the question when you get angry. Did you lose?"

Pan raised his head and the princess saw his face clearly. He had a goat's beard and short horns on his head, and his face was wrinkled. At this moment, his face was flushed with anger, and he looked even more ugly. The princess remembered the account in the myth: after Pan was born, his mother was horrified when she saw how ugly he looked, but there were many gods who liked his ugly appearance instead, and named him Pan, which means all the gods. All likers. From this point, it can also be seen that the standard of mythology is quite different from the standard of the world.Pan was able to do whatever he wanted in the myth, naturally it was based on the behavior standard of the myth! Pan raised his head for a while, then lowered his head again, and said in a rough voice: Okay, this time I admit defeat!The young man laughed, very relieved.Pan immediately made a request: I have surrendered, tell me who you are and what are you?The young man shook his head and said: No, this is not in the terms we negotiated, unless you agree to the thing I want you to agree to! Pan was angry again: If I want to agree to what you proposed, you must beat me in three things!Now I only have one piece, it's our deal!Young people spread their hands: I am willing to abide by the agreement, but you want to make extra troubles and want to know who I am! Pan paced back and forth, suddenly stopped in front of the young man, and pointed his hand straight at the young man's face. In this situation, if he hadn't had extraordinary courage, he would have been taken aback by his actions. But the young man acted nonchalantly, and just pushed his hand away when he raised the clay pot to drink.Pan shouted again: What is the second thing I am not as good as you? Tell me! The young man smiled first: You once boasted that the goddess was terrified when she saw you? Pan raised his chest again, stretched out his hands to pat his chest, and then stamped his feet on the ground, causing the dozen or so goddesses who were lying on the ground to fly up again. The young man asked in a deep voice: All the goddesses?Pan tilted his head: Of course not, Athena, the daughter of Zeus, and my mother Gan Bliss, naturally she is not afraid of me! The young man said: "A beautiful woman appeared here. She is not afraid of you, but she is very afraid of me. Do you believe it or not?" Pan was taken aback when he heard this, but then, as if he had heard the funniest joke, he burst out laughing. His laughter was deafening, he laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth, clapped his palms, circled around the young man, and kept pointing at the young man. The princess was laughing too, she was just smiling, and when she heard the young man say that, she knew it was her turn to play!This is another must-win bet! She just needs to show that she is not afraid of him in front of Pan.As for showing all kinds of fear in front of young people, isn't it easy? Pan was still laughing and dancing, until the young man asked: Have you laughed enough?Let me ask you again, do you believe it or not? Only then did Pan stop his laughter: Don't believe me!If the situation you mentioned occurs, I will also lose! The young man took a sip of his wine and whistled. His whistle sounded beautiful, and the princess could fully understand the meaning conveyed by his whistle: It is time for you to show up. I believe you must have done a good job! Pan asked loudly: What are you doing?The young man replied: I whistled her!She is coming! When the whistle was heard, the princess's body was already rising upwards. When the young man said that she was coming, the princess's body sank, passed through the branches and leaves, and fell suddenly, landing in front of the young man. Afterwards, instead of standing, he bent his body into a ball, prostrated himself, motionless, not even daring to raise his head! When the young man saw the princess appearing, he was also inexplicably happy, but the princess acted so seriously that he had to follow along. He immediately glanced at Pan, then pointed at the princess lying on the ground.When Pan saw this situation, he couldn't help being very surprised. He was used to being aggressive in front of the goddesses, so he immediately shouted: "Who are you?"Hold your head up! The princess remained motionless: I dare not raise my head without his command! Pan was surprised and angry: who is he? The princess's snow-white hand was exposed from under the black veil, pointing to the young man: He, he is the master I fear and fear. In an instant, Pan showed an extremely weird expression, and there was a muffled thunderous sound from his throat, obviously he was irritated! At this time, the young man smiled slightly. He was still sitting, but he stretched out his feet, pointed his toes towards the princess' chin, lifted it slightly, and said in a commanding tone: "You raise your head!" The young man had just seen how Pan abused the goddesses and how they obeyed him. Now, there are more than a dozen goddesses lying on the stone ground, pretending to be the grass to please Pan, so naturally he can't be too polite to the princess! Following the young man's words, the princess looked up, and Pan was staring at the princess, because he could not believe that there is a goddess who is not afraid of him!So, when the princess raised her head, she just had a face-to-face meeting with him.As soon as she met Pan's strange eyes, the princess couldn't help being surprised! In an instant, she might have panic or fear, which made Pan Dashi excited, let out a frightening roar, and a strange light in her eyes! The princess knew that in the mythical world, the goddesses were very afraid of Pan, but she didn't know why the goddesses were afraid of Pan?The world of mythology has its own rules of conduct. Since she does not belong to the world of mythology, why should she follow this rule? Thinking of this, although Pan's gaze became more and more menacing, like bolts of lightning, accompanied by his thunderous roar, like attacking people head-on, with indescribable power, but the princess remained calm Mind, look at him.The two sides confronted each other for a while, Pan couldn't hold his breath, and shouted: "Low your head, how dare you stand in front of me and face me squarely?"The princess laughed coquettishly: Why don't you dare, what are you!The princess's voice was full of contempt, which made Pan furious and let out a series of earth-shattering roars. His voice sounded like thunder in the sky. Drink and ask: What is your origin, tell me! The princess didn't answer Pan's question, she turned her head and smiled at the young man: Can making a little noise cause fear?whee Her last laugh even had the coquettish attitude of a little daughter, which of course shows that she is not afraid at all, she just finds it funny!At this moment, Pan suddenly fell silent. Although he didn't make a startling sound, his expression was dark and menacing. There was a strange light in his eyes, which was really terrifying. The princess still looked at him directly: You want to know my origin?You can ask Hera, but Hera may not tell you The princess said to the young man afterwards: Don't think I wasn't afraid at the time, I was terrified. Pan's eyes were like two flames that could melt people away. What can I do.If I were unlucky enough to be the goddess in the myth, I would have already been subdued by him!I was questioned by him about the origin, and in a moment of desperation, I brought up Hera!The young man hugged the princess tightly in his arms, and said sincerely: That's a great mention!Only Hera can make him afraid! Under Pan's questioning, the princess suddenly brought up the god Hera as a shield, because she was familiar with the myth. In mythology, Hera is the wife of Zeus, the main god. Zeus used tricks to marry her. First, a heavy rain fell on Hera, and then Zeus turned into a bird, pretending to take shelter from the rain, and hid in Hera's clothes. Within, and then showed the original shape, embraced Hera, and got it like this. (Look! Is the standard of conduct in the mythical world quite different from that in the human world, yet somewhat similar?) Hera is a jealous, violent goddess. But Zeus fell in love with many other goddesses, so Hera persecuted those goddesses wantonly, and the methods were very cruel. Hera once turned the daughter of the river god into a cow and wandered around.It also burned the mother of Dionysus on fire, made some goddesses blind, and forced them to go crazy. All kinds of methods are used! In the mythology, although Pan is domineering and tyrannical, he is still inferior to Hera. Moreover, Hera is the wife of Zeus, and Zeus is Pan's backer and the source of Pan's strength! Therefore, it is extremely appropriate and effective for the princess to bring up the goddess Hera at this time! Sure enough, when Pan heard the princess say that, his eyes became extremely strange, and he lowered his voice: I will ask Hera, she will tell me everything! When the princess saw that her urgent response had paid off, she calmed down a lot. She sneered and said: Don't make fun of yourself, Hera forbids my existence to be known!She wants me to keep her secret forever! Pan suppressed his voice: why? The princess smiled: Because she didn't want Zeus to know my existence, of course it's because of my outstanding beauty! The princess said it was so natural, but Pan suddenly shook as if he had been struck by lightning. In an instant, his face became extremely ugly, and the strange light in his eyes also disappeared naturally. . The princess took advantage of the victory and pursued: I have appeared in front of you before, you'd better keep it a secret, otherwise, Hera will pursue it, I see, hum! Pan's expression was even more embarrassing, even a little at a loss.The young man took the opportunity to say in a deep voice: Pan, you didn't believe what I said just now, but now the facts are in front of you, what do you say? Pan Zhang opened his mouth, unable to utter a word. The young man laughed loudly: You lose again, Pan! Pan suddenly bowed first, and then jumped up quickly. Following their movements, a whirlwind was created, which was so strong that the black veil on the princess fluttered and rose up. The princess took the opportunity to lean closer to the young man, and the two looked at each other, each gaining confidence through the exchange of eyes. At this time, the whirlwind created by Pan became more intense. In the whirlwind, there was a terrifying whistling sound. Pan's body was constantly spinning and rising. It seemed that his whole body had turned into a whirlwind. , like a tornado visible in the world. At this time, the group of goddesses lying on the ground also let out exclamations, and flew away in all directions, and the grass in front of them also disappeared. The princess and the young man leaned together, not knowing what kind of tricks Pan would play in his rage after losing twice in a row. Looking up, I saw Pan and the whirlwind he brought up to a very high place. Suddenly, the whirlwind disappeared, and I saw Pan falling straight up and down from the height. Cheer, but it seems even more mighty. Pan fell from a high place all at once, and his sheep-like feet fell heavily towards a boulder, only to hear a deafening bang, and that boulder shattered into tens of thousands of pieces in an instant. Splashing, a large amount of gravel, like a torrential rain, shot at the young man and the princess. At that critical moment, the princess and the young man didn't even have the thought of avoiding it, because everything happened so suddenly! They just hugged each other even tighter. At that moment, what they thought was, if they died in the mythical world, what would they become after they died? But what happened next was extremely miraculous and unbelievable! Thousands of fist-sized, human-head-sized gravels shot at them with the momentum of thunder. They saw that the stones were shooting at their bodies from far to near, and they could beat them to pieces. Yes, but all of a sudden, those stones came behind them and hit the ground and trees, making a terrible sound. Not only the young man and the princess were stunned by this change, Pan was even more stunned, staring at the young man and the princess, not knowing what happened! And after they have come to their senses, the princess and the young man will understand! They are in the mythical world, and they don't have bodies at all!Their bodies are still in the world!Since there is no body, there will naturally be no such thing as physical injury! The two of them in the myth are just a three-dimensional projection, allowing Pan to see them, talk to them, and drink with them, but they have no bodies at all, and only their souls enter the myth!Although Pan is a god, he is obviously not as good as the princess and the young man in understanding this point, that's why he showed such a horrified expression! At this time, the young man and the princess already understood that they could have a certain advantage in the mythology, so they became more courageous, smiled and said, "You lost twice, and you want to lose a third time?" Pan paused again, and said angrily, "You were the one who came up with the questions the first two times. This time, it's my turn!"The young man raised his eyebrows: Well, the best is the hardest problem, you can't do it at all!Pan snorted and squinted at the young man: Do you dare to enter the maze?Do you dare to enter the labyrinth of the gods?The young man asked back: Do you dare?Pan's expression was very strange, and he didn't answer right away.Seeing this situation, the princess's heart suddenly moved: You don't dare, do you?Once you're in the maze, you can't get out, can you? Pan still didn't answer, but his expression was even uglier. The princess stood up: I am timid and have no courage!I will go into the maze with you, those who dare not go will lose! Hearing what the princess said, the young man became very anxious, and pulled the princess's hand, and the princess held down the young man's hand, signaling him to rest assured. Pan roared: "If you enter the maze, you can't get out, even Zeus can't get out, no one dares to go in!" The princess raised her chest: I dare, if you are not as good as me, then you will obey me in the future, and I will obey him. The princess pointed at the young man, and Pan's face flushed. Judging from Pan's expression, it is conceivable that entering the maze is no small matter, inexplicably dangerous, and the consequence of not being able to get out is already surprising enough. That's why Pan hesitated. risk! What the young man thought at this time was: Would it be more dangerous for the princess to do something that even Pan dared not do? As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but pulled the princess's hand, and the princess glanced at him. The message the young man got from the princess' eyes was that she was confident! The young man didn't know what the princess was sure about, and he was still extremely worried, but he couldn't stop the princess from proceeding. The princess saw Pan's hesitation, and she let out a series of very beautiful laughter: If you dare not, then forget it, but you have to tell all the gods that you are a coward!Pan was such a coward that he didn't even dare enter the maze with me!Under the repeated stimulation of the princess, Pan's violence was triggered, and he roared: "Who said I dare not, you go in with me, no matter how bad the situation is, you will accompany me in the maze!" The princess sneered: I hope I am accompanied by a warrior, not a coward! Pan shouted, reaching out to grab the princess, the princess dodged away: don't touch me, I will definitely enter the maze with you, not before you, nor after you, I will go in with you! After the princess finished speaking, she turned her head and said to the young man: "You wait for me here, until I am here!" The young man's heart beat wildly: If I can't wait, I will also enter the maze. The princess snapped: No!You can't go, you wait here, hear no, wait! Since the young man knew the princess, he had never seen her speak so harshly. From this, he knew the seriousness of the situation, and he also took a deep breath: Wait! Pan urged from the side: Go quickly!quick! Following Pan's shout, Pan's body turned into an extremely strong whirlwind again. The sound of the wind was deafening, and he and the princess were swept up together.In an instant, the surroundings became dark, nothing could be seen, only the whistling sound of the whirlwind could be heard, and it gradually faded away. In a blink of an eye, everything in front of me returned to its original state, and Pan and the princess were gone! The young man and the princess had parted ways several times, but when it came to the danger of the situation, this time was the most important.The young man tried hard to calm himself down, but in fact, he kept spinning around. He was completely unable to predict where the princess would go, good or bad, and he had no choice but to wait here as the princess ordered! When he saw the group of goddesses, he flew back again, still wrapped in grass woven blankets, with a very surprised expression on his face, just watching the young man from a distance.The young man wanted to ask them where the maze was, but as soon as he opened his mouth, they flew away in a hurry. The young man didn't know how long he had been waiting. In the myth, there is no time, and he couldn't count the time. He just felt his heart beat, and it seemed as long as a year, and his heart, when the princess left After that, I don't know how many tens of millions of jumps.He tried to concentrate and get a message from the princess, but was unsuccessful. When the young man felt that he had reached the limit of what he could endure, and he had decided not to listen to the princess's orders and set out to find the maze, he suddenly heard the voice of the princess in his ears: I am coming! The young man hurriedly looked up, only to see that suddenly, there was a faint black shadow in front of his eyes. The black shadow, from light to thick, with the princess's black veil fluttering, had appeared in front of him! At that moment, the young man was so excited that he froze and couldn't move. He didn't hold the princess tightly until the princess fell into his arms. The princess also panted excitedly, and whispered in the young man's ear: "Come with me, let's go back to the world!" The young man was full of doubts, but the princess saw through his intentions, and just said: Let's talk when we get to the world! She pulled the young man and ran forward, crossed three streams, and came to a waterfall. Along the way, she saw many gods and goddesses, and they all looked at them with strange eyes. Before arriving at the waterfall, the princess looked up first, as if to confirm something. Then, together with the young man, she passed through the waterfall and entered a cave, and soon found a black protrusion like a wild mushroom on a rock wall. The young man is no stranger to this kind of protruding thing, he encountered it in the human world and entered the mythology. He and the princess took a breath together, and reached out to touch the protrusion together. As soon as they touched it, they felt a sense of chaos for a very short time. When they opened their eyes again, the two of them were under a tree in a meadow, and there was a puppy looking at them curiously. They have returned to the world. The young man jumped up and down a few times, still a little doubtful in his heart, until a bus passing by in the distance made an astonishing noise, the young man and the princess looked at each other and smiled, truly relieved.
