Chapter 15: The Visions of the Wood Guards
Back at the inn, Xun Yi couldn't help but think of the girl's unfinished expression, and brought some food with him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After entering her room, the girl was still curled up on the bed like that, perhaps knowing that Xun Yi was harmless, but this time she didn't show too much panic.
Xun Yi pointed to her black robe, and whispered to her Can you take it off, you are too conspicuous to dress like this, I got you a set of clothes
The girl looked at her black robe, it was indeed a little dirty on it, and it was full of mud because of the bumps along the way.
She looked at Xun Yi and nodded slightly, and then she started to take it off regardless of whether Xun Yi was still here or not.
Xun Yi hurriedly stopped and waited, be a little guarded, I'll go out and put your clothes on the bed for you first. Also, if you're hungry, you'll change your clothes and eat them, and he pointed to the snacks and said to the girl.
The girl watched Xun Yi walk out of the room in a daze, a little unsure of what Xun Yi meant.
However, the girl's willingness to change the black robe also made Xun Yi breathe, one is that the black robe is too dangerous, of course, it is best to take it off, but if the girl refuses, Xun Yi really has no choice, and the other is that the black robe is too conspicuous, if Xun Yi guesses correctly, there must be follow-up actions, and don't let the target be too conspicuous.
Xun Yi listened to the people downstairs talking, saying that they were going to the moon festival, and they could pray or something.
Xunyi learned from Xiao Er in the store that this wooden city is very large, but the overall structure is symmetrical with the statues of the thirteen wooden guards, so the moon festival is in the central square in the center of the city, but if you walk by foot, it is really a bit far, so now some people call friends to go to the moon festival, and the moon festival starts when the moon is at its highest, that is, in the middle of the night.
Xun Yi felt that it was almost there, so he knocked on the door and entered the house.
The girl had already changed her clothes, and the black robe was placed on the bed by her at will, and at this moment the girl was eating the snacks brought by Xunyi, but when she saw Xunyi coming in, she immediately put down her face and looked a little dodgy, this scene made Xunyi secretly funny.
Xun Yi looked at the girl, and the size of the clothes was just right. The slender limbs and the light indigo dress are very light, coupled with the delicate face, it is simply a legendary elf, although the complexion is a little pale, but this makes people feel more holy.
The girl's eyes flickered a little, she didn't know why Xun Yi kept staring at him, but after Xun Yi said that it was very suitable for you, the girl was inexplicably happy in her heart, she didn't know her name now, she didn't know where she came from, what she was going to do in the future, the only thing she knew now was that the boy in front of her who was a few years older than herself was very good to herself, and what she could rely on seemed to be this stranger who seemed a little scary but was very good to herself.
You can't remember your name now, but you need a name, so before you remember your name, will you call you Ziye?" Xun Yi said softly to the girl
Purple Night・・Purple Night・・・The girl muttered, her eyes couldn't help but glance at the purple night sky outside the window.
Hmm... The girl replied in a whisper
My name is Xun Yi, looking for Xun, easy Yi Xun Yi also reported his name, and then he continued to say I want you to be my sister in front of others, and this can also avoid some trouble, this is the best way Xun Yi has thought of at the moment, if others ask about their identity, it is good to return.
You're just getting better now, so you can rest now, I have something to do tonight, maybe I'll come back later, you take a good look at your luggage here, okay?" Xun Yi asked the girl in a negotiable tone
Well, the girl nodded
Although there are a lot of things I want to ask, in order not to stimulate the girl, Xunyi still tries to avoid some topics. After the order, Xun Yi wanted to go to see the moon sacrifice ceremony.
Although Xun Yi was still a little worried about her safety, Xun Yi estimated that even if someone really chased her, he would not dare to blatantly spread wild here in Mucheng. Although he wanted to take Ziye to the Moon Sacrifice Ceremony together, which was the safest way, she was really not physically suitable now. However, Xun Yi told her that if she met any strange people, she should put on a black robe as soon as possible. Because Xun Yi estimated that this black robe was probably put on to protect the girl.
However, Xun Yi was just about to turn around when he found that his clothes were being pulled. The girl lowered her head, but her hand tugged at the corner of his coat
What's wrong?, Xun Yi said softly
One... I must come back...
Xun Yi answered softly with his hand.
Xun Yi, who finally walked out of the inn, exhaled a long breath, once upon a time he had spoken to people in this tone, even in front of Xun Chen'er.
Thinking of Xun Chen'er, Xun Yi smiled a little wryly, if she knew that her brother had picked up a cheap young lady for her, I don't know what would happen to this girl?
Leave behind the worries and set off for the ceremony.
The Moon Festival is the biggest festival in Mucheng, and everyone's faces are full of joy and solemnity.
Although it is said to be a moon festival, people who grew up in Mucheng understand that this is a reverence for their ancestors, a kind of faith, and it cannot be blasphemed. It is a kind of gratitude to the people who were protected by their ancestors. And it is not only a festival, but also a warning to future generations that it is the blood and tears of our ancestors that have created today's happiness.
Every time there is a moon festival, each city lord personally presides, handing the best wishes to everyone through this sacrifice, passing on to the heroic spirits of the ancestors, witnessing that the land they protect does not still exist, and the people under their protection prosper on this land, and asking the ancestors to protect the future of the wooden city.
Xunyi who came from the road in the distance was not amazed once, and the lights were no longer flickering in every house. And the only lights are on both sides of the street where Xun Yi walks, as if to show the way to passers-by. And from a distance, the road looks like two long dragons.
There are six streets like this in the wooden castle, and if you look at it from the sky, it looks like six long whips radiating from the center of the castle. And the thirteen giant figures standing in the dark night can feel a faint sense of oppression even from a distance.
If you look closely, you can also see the different poses of each figure, giving people a sense of vividness.
The giant standing in the huge open space is the first feeling of finding it.
This is the Thirteen Wood Guards!
Looking at the people who were already crowded in the open space around them, under the huge statues, one couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance.
People almost filled the open space, but it was eerily quiet. The passers-by looked reverent, each of them almost facing the statue, with a faint expectation in their eyes, perhaps even a good wish.
Purple Moon rose next to the statue, draped the statue in a purple garment, but more like they were dressed in a mysterious cloak.
It is estimated that there will be another hour to the sub-hour, and that time is the beginning of the moon sacrifice, but the strange thing is that Xun Yi has not seen the city master in the figure, and what is even more strange is that people have not made the slightest move, Xun Yi decided to wait patiently.
Since he came here, Xun Yi also wanted to see the face of the legendary hero who saved this land, although it was in the dark night, but the moonlight still reflected the face of the statue very clearly. The appearance of each of their statues is very carefully depicted, including facial expressions, sadness, anger...
And unlike Xun Yi's imagination, among the thirteen Wood Guards, four are female soldiers.
Xun Yi began to carefully examine the thirteen statues, gradually observing them from one until he saw the end of the last one.
But at this moment, his body shook, and he felt that his vision had changed, and the thirteen statues had gradually come to life.
His body froze, his heart was horrified, and Xun Yi didn't know what was happening.
The sky turned dark, and the blood-colored raindrops fell to the ground and fell on him, and then there was a pungent smell of blood. But he couldn't move, as if he was frozen, just watching what was happening in front of him.
One of them was a statue of the man, holding a giant sword, and suddenly he soared and slashed towards the sky, where the giant sword slashed, black clouds cracked, and blood-colored rain rolled down with a violent roar.
Xun Yi recognized him as the first person in the statue. Xun Yi's heart trembled, cold sweat soaked through his clothes, and he couldn't understand what the situation was. At this moment, a second figure appeared in Xun Yi's eyes. This is a woman, but her body is the size of a normal person, but her eyes are cold as if everything is frozen, she pointed to the sky, and shouted angrily, and a light that penetrated the sky and the earth cut out of her fingers, and it also disappeared into the clouds. Heaven and earth shook again.
Immediately afterwards, the third person also appeared in Xun Yi's gaze, only to see him clasping his hands, and suddenly seemed to be imprisoned all day long. The fourth person reappeared, the fifth person, the sixth person, the thirteenth, they went into the clouds and came out again, I don't know how long.
Xun Yi has calmed down, although that powerful force oppresses his internal organs, but at this moment Xun Yi understands that he is like a spectator here, this should be something like an illusion, otherwise Xun Yi would have been turned into ashes by that kind of momentum.
Is this the legendary war? Was the immortal cultivator so powerful thousands of years ago? What is the thing in the clouds, even such a powerful Thirteen Wood Guards can't do anything about it
But while he was thinking, the heavens and the earth suddenly changed drastically, the dark clouds suddenly formed a vortex, and a huge dark evil eye appeared inside, just one glance, Xun Yi felt trembling all over, and that instinctively nasty breath wanted him to vomit.
Suddenly, his eyes rolled, and a gray light flooded the world in front of him.
Suddenly, Xun Yi felt that he could move, the clothes on his body had already been soaked, he gasped slightly, and tried to move his body slightly. Suddenly he sat down on the ground.
His body trembled slightly, and he felt that he would never forget the scene he had just seen.
At this time, the moonlight was in the middle of the statues, and at the same time, a voice spread throughout the center of the wooden city
The moon festival begins
