Chapter 62: The Phoenix Nods
Of course, the high priest didn't know what Feng Shanyue had discovered, and he was busy announcing that the lord of the country was not the chosen lord of heaven, and asked all the officials to follow the will of heaven and re-elect the lord of the country. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, King Yiyang threw himself beside the lord of the kingdom and cried loudly, "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, what's wrong with you? Wasn't you okay just now? Why did you faint all of a sudden?"
"This is God's punishment for him, for not thinking about the people, and for trapping all the people in fire and water!"
"No, High Priest," King Yiyang left the Lord of the Kingdom, knelt down and took a few steps forward, then leaned down and prayed to the High Priest, "My brother is not a Lord of the Daoless, he is just too eager to expand the borders of the Fire Phoenix Country. Please pray to Heaven on our behalf, and please Heaven take back the punishment for Brother Wang's dedication to the Fire Phoenix Kingdom and forgetting to sleep and eat!"
The hundred officials also knelt down behind and prayed, "Please pray to heaven on our behalf!"
The High Priest looked embarrassed, "Why are you so obsessed?"
"Please pray to Heaven on our behalf!"
The High Priest sighed, "All fools, well, I'll try again, and express your remorse to the Divine Monarch, hoping that he will forgive you!"
"Thank you, High Priest!" everyone present knelt on the ground and thanked the High Priest.
The archpriest danced again, and kept chanting the greetings in his mouth, even Feng Shanyue, who was closest to Tongding, couldn't hear what he was saying. The high priest jumped as he sprinkled powder into the copper dome from time to time. Feng Shanyue kept smelling the smell of gunpowder from firecrackers during the New Year, and her heart was shocked.
According to history, it was not until the Spring and Autumn Period that there was a clear record that gunpowder was used in people's daily lives. At this time, it was the Shang Dynasty, that is, the invention time of gunpowder should be more than 400 years forward. I don't know where this high priest is, but is he also a time-traveler from modern times?
Just as Feng Shanyue's mind was turning, the high priest had stopped the dance of prayer. He stretched out his sword into the bronze tripod, the sword body burned again, and then waved the sword in the direction of Fengming Palace, and the day suddenly turned into night, only the bronze tripod on the altar was still spitting a raging tongue of fire.
The people below found that the sky was suddenly dark, and they couldn't help but panic, and suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Look, what is that?"
Everyone looked up at the eaves at the highest point of Fengming Palace, a golden ball of light was slowly growing, shooting out a dazzling light, and when the ball of light grew to the size of three people hugging each other, suddenly a thunderclap sounded in mid-air, and a flash of light shot straight towards the ball of light. The moment the flash touched the ball of light, the ball suddenly exploded, making a deafening sound.
When everyone was about to find a place to hide, they suddenly saw something in the ball of light that seemed to be shaking, and then they saw a colorful nine-tailed phoenix spread its wings and flew up. It shimmered with golden light, dragging a long beam of light wherever it flew, and the image was indescribable and dazzling.
The phoenix spread its wings and flew around the altar three times, then landed on the roof of the Fengming Palace and shouted nine times, and nodded four times in the direction of King Yiyang.
"Three turns around the tree, nine phoenix sounds, four phoenixes, this is the phoenix's choice!"
Realizing this, the officials couldn't help but exclaim. They didn't expect that in their lifetimes, they would be able to see with their own eyes the legend of the Phoenix site selection at the beginning of the founding of the Fire Phoenix Country. Think about it some time ago, the nursery rhyme of the capital city said that "the country has Yiyang, and Wu has a phoenix", all indicating that the king of Yiyang is the real candidate for the country.
The high priest said in a loud voice: "Everyone, the phoenix has already chosen a new lord for us, and he is the king of Yiyang!"
Yu Shuai was also surprised, he didn't expect to see such a picture, and he didn't expect King Yiyang to be the new lord chosen by Phoenix. Just when he was still hesitating whether to kneel to the new lord, an official from King Yiyang's faction knelt on the ground and saw the new lord.
Feng Shanyue was also startled by the phoenix conjured by the fireball at first, she reached out and touched the bronze mirror on her chest, and suddenly, the darkness in front of her disappeared, and the golden phoenix turned out to be just a woodcarved bird. I just don't know how the high priest used to make it fly.
Feng Shanyue immediately stood up and shouted, "Everyone, this is just an illusion, please don't be fooled! There is no phoenix at all!" After speaking, she pulled out the jade bracelet given by Qingzhu and threw it at the wooden bird on the roof. Worshipping the spirit jade bracelet given by the spirit fox, the jade bracelet she threw hit the wooden bird fiercely and accurately, instantly breaking the illusion of the high priest.
The darkness that had previously enveloped the surroundings immediately dissipated, and a small woodcarved bird bone rolled down from the roof and landed in front of King Yiyang. King Yiyang had already prepared a proud and reserved expression, ready to greet the officials to bow down. The sudden upheaval caught him off guard, and he could only stare blankly at the wooden bird that landed in front of him.
The high priest didn't expect that his illusion would be cracked by Feng Shanyue, he gritted his teeth, raised the sword in his hand, and stabbed at Feng Shanyue. As long as Feng Shanyue is dead, he can still bring the situation back to life. Kneeling below were stupid mortals who couldn't see through their own witchcraft.
Feng Shanyue didn't have a back eye, so she naturally didn't know that the high priest would kill her in front of everyone. The high priest's sword was about to be next to Feng Shanyue's back, and suddenly, a hand reached over and pinched the blade with his bare hands, and blood immediately flowed down from the tip of the sword.
The high priest drew his sword vigorously, but found that his sword seemed to be frozen, and it did not move. The one who intercepted the blade was the Royal Forest Army who helped Feng Shanyue extinguish the fire before. The Imperial Forest Army pushed the sword in the direction of the archpriest with his bare hands, and the archpriest kept retreating, and finally fell next to the bronze tripod.
The Guards snatched the sword in their hands and placed it around the High Priest's neck, then stepped forward to tear off his mask, "Sure enough, it's you!"
"Na Jie Zhu!" Feng Shanyue couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw that under the mask, it turned out to be Na Jie Zhu, a wizard from the Ma Fang University who had escaped from the cave behind Nie Village, "How could it be you?"
Najaju stared at her desperately, and said with a cruel smile, "What's the matter? scared to see me? hahaha...... It's a pity that I was ruined by your little slut, I am really unwilling!"
Feng Shanyue didn't bother to listen anymore, waved his hand to let the Royal Forest Army kill Najayzhu, and then rushed to the side of the lord of the country, pouring the antidote that had been prepared long ago into his mouth. The people around hadn't reacted yet, so they watched as the lord of the country drank the potion in the bamboo tube of Fengshan Yue.
After a while, the body of the lord of the country suddenly spasmed like cramps, and his hands and feet continued to shake, Feng Shanyue didn't know that the prescription given by Linghu would cause such a reaction, so she was so frightened that she took a step back and sat on the ground.
"Vomit ......" The head of the country lord suddenly tilted to one side, spitting out a thin black snake. The snake writhed on the ground a few times, then stopped moving, and disappeared in an instant as black smoke.
