1. Leaning on the pavilion to see nothing

Qinghuan Pavilion is the tallest building at the east gate of Chang'an.

Here, you can see all the pedestrians passing by at a glance.

On this day, the streets of Chang'an were as prosperous and lively as ever.

Singing and dancing are peaceful, peaceful and peaceful, highlighting the peace and prosperity of the prosperous era.

She has been waiting here for three days, and the hexagram says that she will definitely be able to wait for that person today.

The surgeon rarely miscalculated, and even more so three times in a row, but she wanted to try again today.

"Sister, you're really here!"

The sound of the door pushing behind him was followed by a familiar exclamation.

"Chanjuan?" Su Li turned around, looked at the playful girl in goose yellow clothes, and frowned, "Is something wrong with the queen Gao's mother?"

Chanjuan pouted: "Nothing happened to Niangniang, but I couldn't see you for several days, and I couldn't find anyone when I sent someone to the house, so I went out of the palace to find you." ”

yes, how did you forget about it...... I can't help but be stunned.

This matter has distracted her too much energy, if she can't wait for that person today, then everything that follows can only come by herself.

"I'll go see my mother at dusk today. Su Li frowned slightly, nodded in response, turned around, and looked downstairs at the city gate.

"What are you looking at here, is there anything interesting?" Chanjuan saw that she had been looking downstairs, so she stepped forward, and with a little curiosity, she looked along her long-lost sight.

"What's so fun about life in the market—now that you've found me, it's time for you to go back to the palace. Without you by my side, I'm afraid I'm not used to it. Intentionally or unintentionally, he blocked Chanjuan's sight, and kept her out of the voice, not wanting her to be involved.

"It's so easy for Niang Niang to allow me to come out once, how can I go back without having fun?" Chanjuan pouted dissatisfiedly, "You live outside, so naturally you don't know how boring it is to stay in the palace every day." ”

"Then don't go back. Su Li blurted out.

"How is that possible? Although I am playful, my mother treats me well, and I am not willing to leave her. Chanjuan reached out and touched Su Li's forehead as if she had heard a joke, "And the sorcerer depends on the dragon qi to exist, and when we leave the imperial city, we will be like ordinary people." Besides, my technique is not good enough, and I have to study hard until one day, like my sister, I will become the first master of Daiei. ”

"When it comes to fun, why take it seriously. Take Chanjuan's hand down and say goodbye.

Chanjuan has followed Gao Hou since she was a child, and she needs to have enough reasons to find a good opportunity.

But the man didn't appear, and everything in front of him was not enough to move her.

"A companion is like a tiger. You need to be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't mention such things in the future. ”

"Isn't it like there is no one else...... You can't even joke...... My sister doesn't look like a normal person anymore since she became the first one. Chanjuan muttered disdainfully, but the words she said came into her ears word for word, making her body shock.

However, before she could say anything, Chanjuan's voice came into her ears again: "Hey, that person is dressed so strangely, is it popular among the people to dress like this now?"

Looking in the direction Chanjuan was pointing, Su Lizheng saw a person entering from the east gate.

Unlike the people around him, the man was dressed in a short shirt like a craftsman, but he wore a knee-length blouse.

said that he was elegant, but it was difficult to hide the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, said that he was broken, but the white jade wine pot on his waist was extraordinary, and the hosta with a bun on his head was also very exquisite.

Luotuo is delicate at will, quite a bit of the charm of Wei and Jin celebrities, I think it is not a mortal, otherwise it will not be able to pass the verification of the city gate guards, and enter the Chang'an City where the Yashiwang clan gathers.

"It's finally here. ”

Shuli's eyes narrowed slightly, and after taking a closer look, he turned around and broke the door and ran downstairs, not even caring about Chanjuan on the side.

It wasn't until the house was empty that Chanjuan, who was left behind, came back to her senses and muttered, "Sister, what's wrong......

2. He hasn't seen him again for years

When Shuli came out of Qinghuan Pavilion, there was no trace of the man on the street.

After visiting everywhere a few times, but still to no avail, I couldn't help but be a little discouraged. If at the time of the great prosperity of the sorcerers, the eaves were just a trivial matter, how could they be reduced to the point where they are only worthy of public opinion today?

But after thinking about it, since he has arrived in Chang'an, it is only a matter of time before he sees him again.

He retreated and wanted to return, but bumped into a person behind him: "Sister, why are you running so fast?"

Shuli turned around, saw Chanjuan behind her, pulled the corners of her lips, and said casually: "Maybe I've been checking too much in the city recently, and I'm dazzled." ”

"My sister is so pitiful. Chanjuan looked at her with some sympathy, "But after all, the period is special, and my sister is in an important position, so she will naturally be more tired than others." ”

"It's okay, it's just in his position, and he is just in his position. Leaving the voice, he bypassed the topic and said: "I'm going back to the house to prepare to enter the palace to see Niangniang's plan, are you with me?"

"I'm not going! You don't have any interesting things in your house, it's lifeless, and it's not as lively as the streets. Chanjuan sneered.

That being said, Suli understands that she just doesn't want to face the house.

For all the sorcerers who grew up beside the high queen, the first sorcerer's mansion was their ultimate pursuit, but no one thought that after several years of practice, they would finally lose to a girl who was killed halfway.

So the place where they are fascinated is also their sad place.

So seeing Chanjuan like this, she didn't force her to leave, she just nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you can go back early, and if you have something, come to the house to find me." ”

Not to mention, she is still relieved about the security of Chang'an City, especially Chanjuan is the person next to Gao Hou, those people will naturally not let Chanjuan be in danger, but she herself can no longer stay on the street now.

Nodding to Chanjuan, Shuli turned around and left.

The black dress was instantly eye-catching in the crowd, and her long hair made her silhouette a little more heroic.

The people on the street knew that this was the first sorcerer on the prayer platform, and they couldn't help but make way for her.

And this scene happened to fall in the eyes of a person in the wine shop on the side.

"Little second brother, the one outside is ......" Looking at the back that had gradually faded away, the man put down the peanuts he had just picked up in his hand and asked Xiao Er who was delivering wine.

"That's the one you said! That's the first sorcerer of our great glory, Lord Shu! The guest officer is a foreigner, I'm afraid I don't know! Although our Lord Shu is a woman, the method of praying is very good, and natural disasters have continued in various places over the years, but Chang'an City can only adjust the wind and rain, but it is inseparable from Lord Shu!"

The man saw all this in his eyes, and smiled with a little disbelief: "This adult is really so powerful?"

"That's natural! If you don't believe it, you can stay here for a few more days, a few days ago, Lord Su calculated, and in a few days it will be the Heavenly Dog Swallowing Day, then you can see the ability of Lord Shu!"

"I'm a little curious when you say that. The man nodded, picked up the wine jar that Xiao Er had just put down, and poured it.

Seeing that this guest was so good at talking, and seeing that he would stay in the store for a few more days, the little er became more and more hot, and saw that the man was still carrying something behind his back, so he took the initiative to help him untie it: "The guest officer wants to stay for a long time, and the small luggage will be put in the guest room for you." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the man flashed to the bench on the other side, and said indifferently in Xiao Er's astonishment: "I understand the little second brother's intentions, and I don't bother with this little thing." ”

That Xiao Er is also a discerning person, seeing the guest's defensive face, he knows that the things on his back are worth a lot, no wonder the guest is always on guard, but he is worried.

Thinking like this, he said some more words to round the circle, and continued to run forward and backward under the shouts of the other guests.

"Da Rong's first sorcerer......" The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked up a little cold: "I don't know, dignified...... When did you learn from me? ”

The laughter of the liquor shop was too noisy to drown out the man's self-talk, and also to drown out the heavy bag behind the man's back, which was trembling slightly with his sneer.

3. Although tens of millions of people have been there

When Shuli saw Gao Hou, there was no one else in the Lanyue Palace, which was originally full of waiters.

"I heard that you have been in Qinghuan Pavilion these days?" he used a wooden spoon to hook up the water in the bucket on the side, and slowly poured it on a peony that was in full bloom.

"The Tengu Eclipse Day is a once-in-a-century event, so in order to prevent people from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, pedestrians need to pay more attention. Su Li didn't deny it, and Gao Hou asked this way, naturally because she already knew about her recent moves.

Although Chanjuan has not come back yet, all of this is not her turn to return at all.

In the entire Chang'an City, there are eyes of the queen of Gao everywhere, so Chanjuan went out of the palace, but she was afraid that she was not just ordered to find herself.

"What did you find then?" said casually, moving back to a peony next to her.

"According to Weichen's observation in the past few days, there is no vision at the east gate, but it should not be taken lightly. "Su Li bowed slightly," the north gate is only not entering, and the southwest second gate is where the uncle is there, so there is no need to worry, if someone wants to do something, the only entry point is the east gate. ”

With the sound of splashing water, the wooden spoon was thrown into the bucket, and a few splashes appeared.

Gao Hou turned around and looked at Xiang Shuli: "Now that this is the case, how can this palace directly order the closure of the city." ”

As if he didn't notice the dissatisfaction and scrutiny in the eyes of the queen, he said: "Although the closure of the city is simple, it is easier to be self-defeating in the mouth of the people of Chang'an. Fortunately, the day of measurement is not far away. ”

Gao Hou didn't speak, just looked at Su Li like that, and the Moon Palace fell into a dead silence, dull and depressing, and even the summer cicada outside the window seemed to be interested in the sound and no longer noisy.

I don't know how long it took, but I only heard the sound of the skirt sliding on the ground, accompanied by a far-reaching but not to be despised majesty: "These things before the dog eating day will be completely handed over to you." I will tell Uncle Guo and listen to your instructions. ”

"Wechen took the order. ”

Shuli bowed slightly, and after seeing Gao, he stepped out of the main hall of Lanyue Palace, and walked towards the dormitory under the service of all the maidservants outside the door.

When he returned from the palace, he was already on the tip of the moon.

Walking on the brightly lit streets of Chang'an, Su Li suddenly gave birth to a kind of compassion.

This city has witnessed the rise and fall of the Thirteen Dynasties, how many kings have fallen from the quagmire above 10,000 people here, how many people have risen to the throne from a cloth cloth, and how many people have been displaced and buried in graves......

No one could count them, just as she couldn't see herself at the moment.

But either way, some things have to be done.

Tens of millions of people, I will go.

4. Why do you have to know each other?

Walking on the road at night, Shuli did not go to his mansion, but seemed to wander aimlessly on the streets of Chang'an.

Everyone was no longer surprised by this sorcerer who was accustomed to walking in the Tao, and they did not react too much except to be appropriately polite and avoidant, and they were content to be in such a detached but complacent state.

Along the way, she finally stopped in front of a bamboo forest.

Reaching out and caressing the bamboo body, the originally cold and indifferent expression finally changed slightly.

If those people saw this first sorcerer at this moment, they would only be surprised when she actually had her own seven emotions and six desires, and they were in shape.

In the silence, accompanied by the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, a little glow lit up on his fingertips.

Flickering and fluttering, like a ghostly fire from the underworld.

"If Empress Gao Niangniang knew that the first sorcerer she respected was just a fly of the Wu clan, how would she feel?"

A somewhat hoarse but soothing voice came from behind.

As soon as he moved, the ghostly light on his fingertips seemed to grow uncontrollably, but finally disappeared.

She didn't look back, but she wiped away the subtle changes on her face: "Different paths lead to the same end, what Niangniang wants is just the obedience and obedience of the entire Darong." If you are together, you are friends, if you don't, you are enemies, and when you take what you need, it doesn't matter who you work with, doesn't it?"

"It's a good 'if you agree, you are a friend, if you don't agree, you are an enemy'," the man behind him chuckled, but it turned cold in an instant, "Then why did Master Su think that he would cooperate with you in the future?"

"So, you came to Chang'an to tell me in person, are you going to regret it?"

Xiao Yi was irritated by such a lukewarm attitude and everything under control, and he couldn't help clenching his fists anymore and took a few steps forward.

But in the end, when I saw the long-awaited departure that I had turned around, the hard work and the anger of being deceived from the original trek, the dissatisfaction that was enraged and the unwillingness to feel alienated, all collapsed and dissipated at this moment, leaving only deep helplessness.

"It seems that I am not wrong at the North Gate today. Su Li looked at the man in front of him, and said in a loud voice, the waves on his face disappeared, "On the day of the eclipse, I need your help." ”

She didn't ask Xiao Yi why she didn't see herself, at this critical moment, all changes would be noticed, let alone seeing such a strange person by herself.

But she still didn't control her urge to run down the Qinghuan Pavilion.

Xiao Yi didn't answer, the longing at this moment seemed to be completely different from the girl back then, in her eyes, he couldn't see the joy of meeting.

In business, the sobriety of long-awaited separation made Xiao Yi understand that he came to Chang'an this time not just to see her.

"Your straightforwardness makes me feel like there's only a deal between us. Xiao Yi's voice was moody.

"This thing, from the very beginning, is a transaction. "The eyes of long-awaited separation are like ancient wells without waves," this point is the consensus we reached at the beginning. ”

"You like this, I regret agreeing to come to Chang'an. ”

"Xiao Daxia said that he has no regrets. "The eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Just once, and for the last time. After a long silence, Xiao Yi finally responded.

Whether it is a promise or a compromise is no longer so important in the eyes of Su Li.

Because this time alone, it's enough.

5. What is the same as magic and witchcraft

“…… Now the north gate is guarded by Gao Hou's side, and all the people can only go in and out; Gao Heng guards the second gate in the southwest, changing the guard every hour, and the guard is also very strict. Therefore, in the eyes of the high queen, if there is any change in the Wu clan, it will only be at the east gate.

"On the day of the eclipse, Gao Heng will definitely guard Gao Hou's side, and the West Gate will be replaced by his eldest son Gao Xi in order to take care of the changes in the East Gate. So that day, before the vision, I would have people make trouble at the East Gate, and then Gao Zhi would definitely go and check it out. At this time, the West Gate was reborn as a heresy, and Gao Huai, the second son of Gao Heng who was guarding the South Gate, would also make some moves at that time.

At that time, the descendants of the Wu clan outside the North Gate would use witchcraft to break through the North Gate and rescue the imprisoned new emperor when the dragon's qi was at its lowest. Because I couldn't get out of the altar at that time, I can only ask you to rescue the emperor.

"Here is the map of the Imperial City......"

As he spoke, Su Li took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yi.

"The North Gate is the place where the dragon qi is at its peak, are you sure you want the Wu people to use the North Gate as a breakthrough?"

Xiao Yi looked at Su Li and questioned her thoughts.

Others don't know, but as a witch saintess, she won't be unintelligible.

Unlike sorcerers, for sorcerers, the Imperial Dragon Qi is the thing they fear the most, and the closer they get, the more powerful the witchcraft will fight back.

is like the powerless concubine who was killed back then.

And the reason why Shuli was able to stay by Gao Hou's side as a magician and not be discovered was because the Wu clan withered and wiped out the clan back then, and the previous saint Yun Ge entrusted the two to Xiao Yi's father, Xiao Yin, the county guard of Beijun, after giving birth to Chanjuan.

Xiao Yin claimed to the public that they were born in his own outer room, and later provoked his jealous wife to make a big fuss, so that no one doubted the origin of the two children.

Under Xiao Yin's raising, the two sisters were able to escape the catastrophe under the search of the high queen.

In the tenth year of Tianling, the queen of high ordered the selection of maids by the mandate of heaven, and all the women of the family between the ages of five and ten must accept the qualifications. In the end, ten girls will be selected in the entire Daiei and brought back to the palace to be taught by a special sorcerer, waiting to become the first sorcerer of Daei in the future.

Even though Xiao Yin tried his best, Chanjuan, who was seven years old at the time, was still impressively listed, and Shuli avoided this selection because of the difference of one year.

When the Holy Maiden Yunge died, she was already four years old, so she naturally understood what it meant.

Letting his sister work for the exterminators, or even holding his life in the hands of others, is by no means the fate that the descendants of the Wu clan should have, let alone something that his mother expects to see.

For Chanjuan, at the age of eleven, she took the initiative to ask Xiao Yin for the first time to practice magic.

It was also at that time that Xiao Yi, who had been practicing magic in Yunyang Mountain since he was a child, saw this little girl with a cold face for the first time.

At that time, she did not inherit Yun Ge's beautiful appearance, even if she was wearing the gorgeous clothes of a family woman, she looked like a girl cutting pigweed at the foot of Yunyang Mountain.

It's just that those dark and dark eyes are so scorching that people don't dare to face them.

I don't know how Xiao Yin persuaded the Lord of Yunyang Mountain, Xiao Yi, who was originally a closed disciple, had an extra junior sister since that day.

The days in the mountains are boring, and Xiao Yi always looks for an opportunity to tease Su Li, but the girl is unmoved, and even teases Xiao Yi in turn.

It was also at that time that he saw for the first time an imperceptible smile on the girl's face.

Although the smile was shallow, it was touching enough to make the teenager flustered.

The years in the mountains are long, and it seems that people want to forget the days outside, but they can't forget their fate.

At that time, the emperor favored the concubine from the Wu clan, and even wanted to deprive his uncle Gao Heng of the military power, and at the same time abolished the high and re-established, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Gao family, the first clan of Darong, and simply killed the concubine who was unable to fight back, and the emperor was imprisoned in the palace of nourishing the heart.

And the Empress Gao, who was originally about to be deposed, became the first empress in the history of Darong to take charge of the government on the grounds that she was ordered to act on behalf of the government, and changed the name of the country to Tianling.

The courtiers dared not speak out, and this was only the beginning of everything.

In order to eliminate future troubles, the high queen disturbed the court with a sorcerer, and exhausted countless people who practiced witchcraft in Darong, and in those ten years, everyone heard the word "sorcerer", all of them avoided like snakes and scorpions, for fear of causing death.

The witch clan, which originally shared the honor with the sorcerer, has been wiped out, so far the sorcerer is respected, and the sorcerer is the demon.

Su Li will never forget the turbulent years when his mother Yunge took him around, the countless witches who sacrificed to protect their mother and daughter, and the instructions that his mother gave to him before she died and never closed her eyes.

Ten years have passed, and the queen of Gao still hasn't let go of her scruples about the witch clan, especially after the sorcerer Kanyu knew that there would be a big disaster in a few years, and even more regardless of criticism, she chose a squire girl in the territory of Darong-

or become a sacrifice to ward off calamities, or become the first sorcerer to be revered by all people, all depending on their own creation.

As the saintess of the Wu clan, Shuli has always understood what she wants, the establishment of the new deal needs to completely overthrow Gao Hou, regain the military power in Gao Heng's hands, and restore the imprisoned emperor to the throne.

So even if there was a danger of being exposed, she still studied witchcraft diligently, and even after Chanjuan was taken away, she hibernated Yunyang for eight years, violating the morality of the witch clan to practice magic, and became the first person to practice two ways since the witchcraft began.

6. Lin Feng broke the knife with a twist

It wasn't until the day she left the mountain, looking at the countless ghostly fires jumping in the bamboo forest under the moon, that Xiao Yi knew her true identity.

"You tell me your secret, aren't you afraid that those people outside will know?"

The girl looked at the teenagers who grew up together, and smiled indifferently, "I just want to say goodbye, I don't know if I will see you again next time." ”

"What nonsense, I'll see you again!"

"Then thank you for the good words. There was no point in arguing, and the girl also fulfilled the good expectations of the young man.

"How can I help you?"

"No, I don't. The girl shook her head, "Uncle Xiao has helped us so much, it's enough." ”

"How about making a deal?"

"What?"

"I want that broken knife you have with you. Xiao Yi didn't have any politeness.

Su Li frowned, not understanding whether Xiao Yi was telling the truth or joking.

"I know what you want to do, but Chang'an is not as simple as you think. Since you don't want to be favored, then I will exchange one of my promises for your broken knife - in my lifetime, I can promise you a request within my ability. ”

Seeing that Su Li was still unmoved, Xiao Yi spoke again: "I am studying martial arts with my master, and now if I want to break through the last layer, I still need a good weapon." I know that knife means a lot to you, but I need it more than you. ”

Su Li understood that Xiao Yi was not lying, but this still couldn't convince her.

After a long time, she opened her lips: "I can give it to you." ”

Su Li understood that Xiao Yi was not lying, he really needed this broken knife more.

Compared with magic, Xiao Yi is actually more proficient in martial arts, but over the years, he has not been able to get a weapon that fits.

But the Xuantie Broken Knife left by his father was because he had sacrificed it with the blood of his mother, Yunge Holy Maiden, and it had psychic powers.

It's just that, as the only relic of her parents, she has no reason to give it to others.

But now that Xiao Yi has spoken, the future is unknown, and this broken knife is just something outside his body.

Moreover, the kindness of the Xiao family is enough to be worth it.

Thinking about this, I felt that there was nothing to give up.

It's just that Xiao Yi didn't appreciate it: "It is my father who is kind to you, you will repay his kindness, and the matter between us will be settled by ourselves." Otherwise, I'll have to find the right weapon myself. ”

Seeing that Xiao Yi was so resolute, he no longer shirked.

With his own strength, it is okay to travel to Chang'an, but in the end, with Xiao Yi's help, he will definitely have a greater certainty.

What she bears is not only her own blood feud, but also the future of the Wu clan who are scattered and exiled in the world and dare not appear in front of people so far.

She can't afford to block these.

When the new blood dripped on the broken knife, as the thought left his mouth, the light wrapped around the blade, and finally slowly fell into Xiao Yi's hand from the floating void.

"Remember, then, your promise, and I will send you a letter if necessary. ”

And that is five years.

Goodbye, it's time to the flower letter.

7. How can life be in danger

Xiao Yi had to admit that aside from the annoying side, Su Li was indeed a qualified witch saintess.

In the past few years, everything that has happened in Chang'an City has been transmitted to Yunyang.

The previous first sorcerer, Xue Yu, offended several of the concubines of the family who were sent to the palace as squires because of his drunkenness, and even misbehaved on the astrological platform, and all kinds of actions caused countless criticisms in the court in an instant.

In that year, the whole country conducted the test of Gaotai Shudao, just like the imperial examination, and all the people of Darong could participate.

For a moment, all eyes fell on the maids of the major families.

Empress Gao's move was indeed clever, and she successfully appeased the major families who had been grudging for a long time, and was able to select a new first master who knew the roots.

It's just that no one thought that someone would win over all the squire girls who had practiced magic since childhood.

When the news of the woman's division out of Yunyang came, everyone was in an uproar.

The way of art is respected by Yunyang, and the capable disciples of Yunyang live in it, which is enough to eliminate everyone's doubts.

And when Empress Gao knew that this woman was the daughter of the Xiao family and the sister of Chanjuan, one of the maids, she couldn't help but groan.

But in the end, he still promised to grant Xiao Jiashu the position of the first sorcerer.

The subsequent long-term separation did not disappoint the high queen, except for being a little intimate with Chanjuan, almost not interacting with anyone, and the heartfelt performance shown by the several cantonese borrowing techniques made the high queen gradually let down her guard.

Now it is in full charge of all the arrangements for the imminent solar eclipse.

……

"It is precisely because the dragon qi of the north gate is the heaviest, so even if there is a guard from the high back to defend, it is actually the weakest place, and it is also the place where she is most assured. ”

The voice of Su Li pulled Xiao Yi back from all the memories that came to his heart in an instant, "Besides, the front line of attacking the North Gate is the descendants of the Wu clan who have never practiced witchcraft, and the so-called dragon qi has no effect on them. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yi suddenly understood: "So, the north gate is still a disguise?"

"Yes. Su Li nodded, the only place she really wanted to do it was the altar of the heavens, "When the tengu completely swallows the sun, the dragon qi is the weakest and the witch path is the strongest, so the back hand prepared by Gao Hou himself must be specially designed for witches." She would never have thought that I would use magic against her. So what you need to do is to rescue the emperor at this time, take him to the altar in the middle of the imperial city, and I will handle the rest myself. ”

"So, you exchanged your life for your life?" Xiao Yi's voice grew colder.

can be a complete outsider, this kind of indifferent analysis and rational to decisive pros and cons judgment, it is difficult for him to match.

But how can such a person who has no seven emotions and six desires, and is even cruel to himself, be called a human being?

Xiao Yi didn't understand whether it was the identity of the Holy Maiden of the Wu Clan and the position of the first sorcerer of Da Rong that made her completely different from what she was in front of her, or because she was originally like this, she could stand on that high seat without any warmth.

It's just that he wants to see the energetic girl five years ago more than the free and rational sorcerer in front of him.

He wanted to say something, but now all the plans were in order.

If you can't change it, you will go to minimize the damage, at least, do your best to protect her.

8. Draw the knife to cut off the water and the water will flow more

The meeting in the bamboo forest that night seemed to be a dream, only crossing the hearts of a few people, and then re-disappearing, without any sound.

On today's sacrificial platform, Su Li is dressed in black, standing in the middle position, with a cold and lonely look, so that everyone in the audience does not dare to question it.

After Gao wore a bright yellow brocade robe, the golden phoenix embroidery spread its wings and was about to fly, and the majesty above the 10,000 people shocked the Quartet.

Beside her, there was Chanjuan and another maid, and behind her, there was her uncle, the general Gao Heng.

"Niangniang, everything is ready, just waiting for the eclipse day. ”

The sound of long-awaited separation came from the altar of the sacrifice, like the sound of the clouds, resounding throughout the entire imperial city, and the soldiers who were heavily guarded under the stage couldn't help but tighten the spears in their hands.

"Yes. ”

A command was like lead, and it came out of Gao Hou's mouth.

Looking at the sun in the sky, which was still perfect, she couldn't help but squint, from the first selection of maids to the current day of the opening of the altar, she had waited for thirteen years.

Thirteen years of preparation, all today, no matter what the so-called natural disasters, or what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, all come.

New hatred and old hatred, years of grudge, it's time to settle them all together and completely eradicate the roots.

At this moment, the sky suddenly changed, and the sun, which was originally as big as a disk, appeared with small black spots.

Rao is forbidden to go out in the whole city, but those people who saw this scene from the courtyard and from the windows still couldn't help but exclaim, and some of the timid even "pounced" on their knees, confessing to the heavens and begging for mercy.

At this moment, the soldiers under the altar of the sacrifice were also in a panic, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

"Silence!"

With the loud shouts on the ground, everyone regained their original positions.

Shuli glanced at Gao Heng behind Gao Hou and lowered his eyes.

The long sword in his hand rose with it, and a gust of wind suddenly appeared on the altar, like a spring wind, sweeping away the panic and fear that everyone had raised.

Seeing that the dark spots were getting bigger and bigger, the wind on the altar was becoming more and more gentle and soothing, but the soldiers who were blown by the smoke around the altar were more and more energetic.

But all this did not dispel Gaohou's doubts, but made her more and more nervous, and finally even shouted directly: "Shuli, what the hell is going on? Why are Tengu eating more and more days?!"

"If you want to take it first, you must give it first. ”

The long sword in his hand did not stop, and the eight-sided sacrificial fire on the altar burned brightly, illuminating the entire altar in the moment when the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness.

At the moment when it turned from black to bright, no one noticed that two barely visible faint lights flew out of her sleeves, rushing into the other squire beside Gao Hou and Gao Hengyi behind her.

At the same time, the four gates in the city also began to fall into chaos, and the emperor, who had been imprisoned in the Yang'an Palace for several years and had not seen the sun, was also stolen out by Xiao Yi and ran in the direction of the most central altar in the imperial city.

Xiao Yi's speed was so fast that the emperor didn't even understand the situation before he appeared behind a mountain rock.

It's just that Xiao Yi didn't give him enough time to be surprised, so he knocked the king of a country unconscious and stuffed it into the stone cave of the rockery.

He is a martial artist and a sorcerer, but what is more important to him now is not the emperor who can't open his mouth, but the movement on the altar of the sacrifice.

It's just that the eclipse has been complete, but there is still no movement.

At this moment, on the altar of the sacrifice, Su Li's expression was still cold and indistinguishable from joy and anger, but the slightly frowning brows proved that she was not as light as her face at the moment.

She didn't expect to see Chanjuan today.

There are only two attendants who can go to the imperial city to worship the rooftop, and because they shoulder the mission of defending the high queen when she sacrifices to the sky, they are the two people with the highest skills who have been personally selected and won by her before.

And in there, there is no Chanjuan.

But from the moment Gao Hou took the stage today, no one was surprised or incredulous, not even Chanjuan's face, there was no joy.

Then there is only one conclusion - Chanjuan was replaced, which was determined long before today.

So, I'm still not at ease......

She sighed softly and almost inaudibly, raised her sword and pointed to the sky, muttering in her mouth like Sanskrit, becoming more and more deafening, and at this moment, her voice resounded through the imperial city again: "Now!"

At the same time, the sun, which had been completely obscured, once again emitted a thread of light, and then more and more.

All the people and soldiers who were paying attention to all this broke out into enthusiastic cheers almost at the same time.

Gao Hou's eyes still fell on Su Li's body, but the figure holding the sword and sacrificing to the sky was still smooth and unmoved.

"Did you miscalculate......

Gao Hou muttered, and the expression on his face gradually eased with the change of the sun in the sky.

At this moment, Gao Heng seemed to see something, and whispered a few words in Gao Hou's ear.

I don't know what to say, Gao Hou's brows frowned, and after looking at the figure of Su Li, she finally nodded at Gao Heng.

Gao Heng quietly retreated from the altar, and all of this fell into the eyes of Su Li, almost at the same time, the long sword that was originally pointing to the sky, but suddenly changed direction, stabbing straight towards the direction where Gao Hou was, and the vigorous sword intent made the flames around the altar jump up.

Before Gao Hou could react, someone had already taken the lead in pulling out the soft sword at his waist, and against the sword that was left by Su Li, Shengsheng knocked the direction off a few points and stabbed it on Gao Hou's shoulder.

"Sister?!" Chanjuan's face was full of disbelief.

"Get out of the way!" I couldn't explain, so I could only use my sword again, miss this opportunity, and if I wanted to get rid of Gao Hou, I don't know what year it was.

It's just that she didn't expect that Chanjuan's sword blocked it again.

With these two blocking efforts, even though the other sorcerer had been controlled by the spell of the soothing, it still made Gao Hou stumble to the very edge of the altar.

Seeing Gao Hou, she immediately ran off the stage, leaving her fingertips and rushing straight towards Gao Hou, but because of the dragon qi restrictions, only half of her hair was burned, and she was still allowed to escape from the altar.

"Shoot the arrows, burn the remnants of the two witch clans!" Gao Hou was furious, pointing at the two people fighting on the stage, and shouted around.

"How can you know witchcraft!" Chanjuan was also incredulous, and said, the sword intent in her hand became stronger and stronger.

"I'll explain it to you later. "Shuli holds a sword in her hand to dodge, if it is someone else, she can load the sword qi of the spell to repel the other party, but in the face of Chanjuan, she can't do it, she can only defend as an attack, who knows that she is entangled by Chanjuan like this.

At this moment, several rockets with the power of magic were fired at the altar in unison, making Su Li even more lacking in skills.

"Damn. Su Li's eyes narrowed slightly, the arrows were eyeless, and he didn't care whether it was Su Li or Chanjuan, and they all shot at the two of them, which made people feel cold.

Stretched out her hand to pull the trick, but saw that her arms were raised, her wide sleeves flew with the wind, and she gathered the power of the mountain to hit the four directions, repelling the arrows in the original way, and protecting the stage for the time being.

But the cluster of arrows was so dense that the archers took turns to change them, and in a short time they were repelled three times.

It's just that Chanjuan didn't appreciate it, when the ghost fire on her fingertips was born, she was already red-eyed, and she couldn't care about any sisters and sisters at this time, the sword broke the palm, the blood-stained long sword, and stood up against the same trick of Shuli.

Su Li, who was extremely familiar with all this, also exclaimed: "Blood Sacrifice Technique!"

Xiao Yi, who was gradually approaching the altar not far away, was also attracted by this shout.

On the altar, the girl in goose yellow clothes had scarlet eyes, but her face became more and more pale.

The long sword in her hand was already stained with blood, and the blood was seeping into the sword body little by little, like a blood-colored crack.

Sure enough, it's the art of blood sacrifice!

Isn't this a forbidden technique that has long been listed as a forbidden art by the magic clan!

Sacrifice the blood of the virgin to the gods in exchange for an incomparably powerful fatal blow, but in the end, the price is a fresh life.

Because of its yin damage, it became the first forbidden technique a long time ago. Who would have thought that now the maid beside the high queen is not only proficient in this way, but even sacrifices herself if she disagrees!

Something that has never been removed seems to be in front of us at this moment.

It turns out that the so-called squire girl is the sharpest sword blade around Gao Hou!

No wonder Chanjuan is not good at spelling, but she can still stay by Gao Hou's side......

What the queen needs is never a squire girl with profound skills, but a loyal blade who is willing to sacrifice her life for herself!

After understanding this, his head swelled with unprecedented anger.

The palm rotates, and the gas on the altar is faint and blue, but there is no scorching sensation, but it is like a mother's arms wrapping Chanjuan on the altar.

The magic is good at attacking, the witch is good at guarding, and the witchcraft that has been positioned by Darong for 20 years actually has the ability to protect.

It's just that in the land where the dragon qi is flourishing, forcibly applying such a protection method will bring back to no one who can bear it.

Looking at the fratricidal sisters on the stage, the corners of Gao Hou's lips showed a smug smile: "It seems that Xue Yu decided back then, not to deceive me." The two good daughters of the witch saintess, it's not in vain that I waited for you to ......"

Before the last word could be spoken, Gao Hou's voice was stopped.

Looking at the strange man in front of her, the smug look on her face turned to astonishment, and the half-burned hair looked very funny.

But before she could speak again, the broken knife that had pierced her chest was even deeper.

Blood gushed down, and a half-burned head rolled out of it.

And at this moment, as the ghostly fire grew, Chanjuan's originally scarlet eyes gradually regained their clarity, and just as she fell to the ground weakly, the sword of weeping blood actually broke through the light of the ghostly fire and rushed towards the direction where Suli was.

Even though Su Li had tried her best to avoid it, the power that came from the impact of the ghost fire still made blood ooze from the corners of her lips.

Her body shook, and the moment she finally fell to the ground, she fell into a warm embrace.

9. Wake up from a dream and know that you are a guest

On Yunyang Mountain, in the heavy aroma of pine smoke, with a bird's cry, the people who fell asleep by the window suddenly woke up.

The light of day broke, and a first sun pierced the sky, projecting on the broken knife beside him.

In the battle that day, Su Li lay on the altar forever after all, and the witchcraft was too heavy, if it weren't for Xiao Yi's broken knife that had been sent to her by her blood sacrifice to contain a remnant soul, I am afraid that she would have already perished.

"Are you awake too?" Xiao Yi's voice was deep, with a bit of laziness that he had just woken up.

And the broken knife beside him seemed to have an aura, and it trembled slightly, making two humming sounds.

"New day, the weather was acceptable. Xiao Yi smiled at the corner of his lips, looking at the broken knife's gaze.

At this moment, a bamboo leaf floated from nowhere, jumping lightly under his feet.

When the new sun is born, it does not distinguish between joy and sorrow.
