175 The Sacrifice of the Middle Goose - The Jedi Strikes Back
Chapter 175: The Middle Goose Sacrifice - The Jedi Strikes Back
This altar of worship to heaven has been built for decades, belongs to the jurisdiction of the royal garden, and there are palace people to take care of the mountain all the year round, not to mention small beasts, snakes, insects, rats and ants are even rarer.
And today, a giant python quietly appeared in the courtyard near the altar, and no one noticed.
The giant python seems to have spirituality, a pair of vicious red eyes are staring at the emperor and queen so closely, and around the stormy wind, the sound of rustling is getting clearer and clearer, not only in the cracks in the ground, but also in the surrounding grass and mud, the dense group of snakes that come from behind can't help but make people gasp, under the dark sky, the beast's eyes are fluorescent, and the open fangs are dripping with black venom, facing the cold light of the sword halberd, they are not afraid at all, and they are approaching Yixin Yuan at a very fast speed.
"King!"
"Brother Wang!"
Seeing this, the King of the South China Sea and Zhen Yunze were shocked, and they flew towards Yi Xin Yuan to escort them, but their speed was no faster than that of a fairy swinging tail of the green python, and they were swept away by the cold and tough snake scale giant tail, and fell far away on the bluestone slab under the altar.
Heavy rain, thunder and lightning.
The ministers and envoys who arrived later were already frightened when they saw the snakes crawling all over the ground, and they were scurrying with their heads in their hands. It's just that they haven't seen the appearance of a giant python coiled on the roof of the corridor overhead, otherwise they would probably be faint.
When the giant python appeared, You Xue crossed an unbelievable possibility in her mind, she crowded among the many guards fighting with the snake, and looked at the emperor who was guarding the safe area, the queen's face was pale, and her beautiful face was not frightened, but she just snuggled up to the emperor's side, looking at the battlefield with burning eyes.
In a chaotic situation, she flicked her fingertips, and a light yellow pill streaked through the rain curtain, exploded in front of the emperor, and scattered into a pungent powder that fell all over his body.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Protect the king, there are assassins!"
But soon this little episode was broken by another group of forbidden soldiers who rushed in front, "Oh no, the altar is full of snakes, and those snakes climbed down from the pillars! Blame..."
Before those people ran closer, they saw the scene in front of the courtyard where the snakes were dancing wildly, and when their eyes fell on the huge green python body on the eaves of the corridor, they drew their swords and held their swords, and the crossbowmen were ready to pull their bows and release arrows, without any command, and they were unmatched.
Zhen Yunze also realized that this green giant python may be the king of all snakes, as long as he takes down the giant python can solve the dilemma, he did not hesitate, he took out his waist knife from the black armor guard and flew to meet it, but the giant python seemed to have eyes around his body, and the python was even more tenacious, the king of the South China Sea and Zhen Yunze went into battle together, and they couldn't help it, and for a while they were entangled by the giant python and it was difficult to separate.
It's just that the giant python seems to be very hostile to King Rui, and is always attacking in the direction of his indigo robe, but it gives the king of the South Sea a chance to breathe and attack.
Qingyang was on the side to assist, but the martial arts were too shallow, and after being thrown off by the thick tail wing and spitting blood several times, under the scolding of Zhen Yunze, he gritted his teeth and flew into the courtyard, guarding the emperor's side, but his eyes were looking for the trace of You Xue, he felt that this woman should be among them.
And You Xue didn't notice Qingyang at all in the chaotic battle, she had already flown in front of the leader of the black armor army a few times at this moment, swinging her knife up and down for him to slash and kill a few poisonous snakes waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack.
The leader of the Black Armor Guard saw that she was in the costume of the forbidden army, and her face was very ugly, and the two sides should usually be quite angry with each other, You Xue ignored his face and said sharply: "Chief, is there fire oil in this courtyard!?"
"No!" fire oil is extremely precious, even if there is, it is still in the Shenji Camp, and at this time, the distant water can't save the near fire!
The two of them were already back to back, and between killing the snakes, they saw that many Praetorian Guards had been pecked and wounded, and their faces were blue and poisoned.
"Where's the candle oil! Is there incense and candle oil in the backyard?" You Xue said sharply, and she couldn't hide her identity and forget the dignity of her subordinates.
The leader of the Black Armor Army was stunned when he heard this, thinking about the location of the candle oil, and at the same time, he was even more strange that the person in front of him was too suspicious, "Who are you!"
"Shut up and listen to me, fire can drive away snakes, and people here can't stop it! And that giant python! Give everyone time to live! Tell me where the candle oil is?"
The guards also knew that the situation was urgent, and after You Xueyi reminded them, they immediately ordered the guards on the periphery to break through and go to the back of the meditation room to carry candle oil.
After he finished drinking, he turned his head to see that the mysterious guard in white and silver armor was no longer visible.
You Xue had already seen Qingyang, a little under her feet, broke through the attack range of the snakes, and turned into the encirclement, and the guards saw that her skills were extremely high, her skills were neat, and there was a suspicious look in her eyes, but they saw her fall beside Qingyang, who was dressed in black armor, and discussed something with him in a low voice, and suddenly it became clear that it was the secret whistle of King Rui.
"This is sulfur powder, the rain is too strong at the moment, the powder alone is useless, the candle oil will be fried when it is burned in water, and it will not be extinguished, adding sulfur when making a core burning torch will definitely drive away snakes, but be careful to keep your distance, don't burn your own people, you must cover your mouth and nose! Tell everyone to cover your mouth and nose!" You Xue carefully told Qingyang how to operate.
Qingyang nodded, he thought of using fire to drive away snakes before, but he didn't expect candle oil, and now this method is better,
"The king's safety will be left to you. ”
After saying that, he immediately flew towards the high place and gestured to the crossbow archer, and headed towards the backyard.
You Xue and Qingyang almost whispered, and Tengfeng didn't hear anything clearly, but he carefully looked at the figure of the white-clothed silver armor, and the face with difficult facial features, and realized in his heart who it was, the corners of his lips that were originally tight and stiff loosened slightly, and the medicinal powder that was suddenly scattered all over her body just now should have come from her hand, because the powder was pungent, disrupting the direction of the attack of the group of snakes.
Suddenly, the queen's shrill voice sounded: "I have never heard of a person like you around King Rui, and the participants of the heavenly sacrifice ceremony must report to the Great Inner Cabinet to be included in the register, what is your intention to be so ghostly?"
She stared at You Xue coldly, at the beginning she noticed this suspicious person wearing the uniform of the forbidden army, and also guessed that it was the dark line of King Rui, thinking that when this matter was solved one by one, it would be better to die in the spirit snake venom to save trouble.
I didn't expect this person to hurt her!
"You're still stunned, tie him up!" she scolded.
The black-armored army did not move, but the Praetorian Guards had already broken away from their position and were about to come forward to arrest them, but they were stopped by several black-armored guards who took a few steps back with long halberds, and they looked at the king of Gulan with solemn faces.
Zhen Tengfeng didn't speak, because he knew that this girl had a way to solve it by herself, and he didn't need to interfere.
Sure enough, I saw You Xue and said: "Queen Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Rui has traveled the rivers and lakes all the year round, how can the queen mother be clear about what characters are around him?"
She smiled faintly at the black armor army and the emperor, a light yellow pill slipped down her sleeve, she flicked her fingertips again, the pill exploded in front, but it was also knocked down by the rain in an instant, this time everyone clearly noticed that those spirit snakes fell due to the powder, and some of the small flower snakes fled away, and for a while, they were in chaos, and they all rushed towards the corridor outside the courtyard and other Zen courtyards: "The huge Zen courtyard, why are so many snakes besieging the king's courtyard?"
At this time, the disappeared crossbow archers finally occupied the high ground, holding crossbow arrows, the arrows were wrapped in candle oil cores, the fire fold was wiped and ignited, the rocket was not extinguished in the water, and the spark that fell in the snake group suddenly jumped up a few feet high, but unfortunately it was just a drop in the bucket, but the fire fold was on fire when it encountered water, and in less than a moment, the fire had been extinguished by the rain, and the snake group continued to surround it, the offensive was more fierce than before, and the guards fell down with poison in a circle, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller.
You Xue approached the side of the Lingfeng Tengfeng, "The king, this is the Linghua snake, the head is angular, it lives in the Qinyi Mountains in the Vientiane Mountains all the year round, and it is really puzzling why it appears in the mountain of this sacrificial altar, but this snake is not poisonous," she smiled faintly, and looked at the dark and deep eyes of the upper Tengfeng, and the resentful eyes of the queen on his side, "If you want to find out about this matter, you should be able to find clues from the venom of Shekou at that time." ”
