Colorful clouds dance in clothes, and emerald feather skirts float. The sound of the phoenix flute is moving, and the cloud flute is entangled, which is really lively. Three thousand fandels, thirty-three string notes on the steps, and the clouds are all snowy.

Lin Ziyun and others were also infected by this festive atmosphere, Hua Taoyao and Shi Su Ling danced in the crowd, and Lin Ziyun was also pulled by an enthusiastic man to dance together.

"What kind of festival is the Lotus Festival, is it related to the lotus?" Lin Ziyun asked. It's winter now, not to mention the lotus flowers, even the lotus leaves are withering in the pond.

"This little brother, the Lotus Festival is a special festival in our Tianyue Kingdom, and it is not surprising that you don't know. This Lotus Festival is also called the Dragon Festival in our place, and it is not every year, and the Lotus Festival is only reported once every ten years, and the whole country is jubilant, which is even more lively than our king's marriage!" replied the man in a colorful short coat.

"It is said that during the Lotus Festival, the dragon will appear. When the lotus lantern floats along the Qiyun River, it will be seen by the dragon dragon, and those who are favored by the dragon will be able to realize their wishes. The man continued, a big smile on his face.

Lin Ziyun smiled and asked, "Is it really that effective?"

The man smiled, looked at Shi Su Ling and Hua Taoyao, who came with Lin Ziyun, pulled Lin Ziyun and said, "Little brother, this wish is not spiritual, it depends on whether you are sincere or not......?"

Because of the Lotus Festival, Lin Ziyun was not easy to look for demons, so the three of them simply stayed here for another day.

In the evening, people from every household gather in groups to go to Qiyun River with lotus lanterns to set off lanterns. Lin Ziyun didn't believe in such an illusory thing at all, but Shi Su and Hua Taoyao were excited, so they dragged Lin Ziyun together.

Looking at the tens of thousands of lotus lanterns floating on the Qiyun River, Lin Ziyun couldn't help but let out a sound of praise.

Shi Su Lian held a lotus lamp in her hand, looked at Lin Ziyun and said, "Big brother, do you have any wishes?"

Lin Ziyun thought about it for a while, everyone has wishes, and his wishes may be more than ordinary people. Lin Ziyun wants to go home, wants to find Tantai Tanxi, and also wants to solve the hidden dangers on his body. For someone like him, I'm afraid that no matter how powerful that Dragon God is, he won't be able to help him fulfill such a wish, right?

Hua Taoyao handed Lin Ziyun a lotus lamp and pen and paper, and said, "Brother Lin, you may have a wish, maybe it will come true?"

Lin Ziyun glanced up at the starry sky, as if it was freezing today, there were only a few fluorescent sparks. Lin Ziyun couldn't help but think of the scene where the demon had also made a wish to the meteor, Lin Ziyun reached out and took the lotus lantern and was silent.

Shi Suli put the lotus lantern in her hand into the Qiyun River with great anticipation, she closed her eyes reverently and clasped her hands together.

Hua Taoyao finished putting her lotus lantern away, looked at Shi Su and said with a smile: "Miss Shi Su, you see my flower lantern flowing in front of you." ”

Shi Su Liang glared at her beautiful eyes, scratched Hua Taoyao, and snorted coldly. Hua Taoyao looked at Shi Suyao's angry appearance, as if she had succeeded, and the flowers and branches of laughter trembled.

Lin Ziyun put the written wish note into the lantern, and he gently put the lotus lantern into the water. The thousands of lotus flowers on this river are as brilliant as the lights of thousands of homes, emitting a faint and bright fire in the dark night. These are the dreams of the world, although they may not come true, but even the lake flowing in the tranquility of the heart is extremely beautiful.

The decennial Lotus Festival, which lasts for three days. Lin Ziyun heard from the people in the small city that the king of Tianyue Kingdom would hold a sacrificial ceremony in Tianyue City on the second day. On the third day, all the people in the Tianyue Kingdom who have dreams will go to the Shenlong Temple to pray for the blessings of the Shenlong.

Lin Ziyun learned that Tianyue City, where the sacrificial ceremony was held, was not far from here, and it only took about ten hours for ordinary people to rush over. Lin Ziyun planned to go to Tianyue City to have a look, the demon identity was prominent, maybe it was in the imperial city. However, Lin Ziyun did not plan to rely on cultivation to hurry, he decided to go to Tianyue City with a pious heart like these people.

Although Hongchen is a shackle, Hongchen can also refine the heart. Cultivation can also be said to be the cultivation of the mind, Lin Ziyun practiced the Hundred Family Scriptures, paying attention to the natural avenue, which is the most appropriate. After Lin Ziyun asked Hua Taoyao and Shi Su Li's opinions, the three of them decided to go to Tianyue City together.

"Old Zhou, it is said that the holy daughter of our Tianyue Kingdom is a first-class beauty in the world! I don't know if we have this kind of eye blessing when we go this time?" A young man in Lin Ziyun's group laughed and talked about things related to the sacrificial ceremony.

Lao Zhou smiled, glanced at Shi Su and Hua Taoyao, and said, "I see, no matter how beautiful the women in this world are, these two girls are like this." ”

The appearance of Shi Su and Hua Tao Yao is extraordinary, and they are naturally eye-catching. A group of young people chimed in: "Naturally, naturally, these two girls are also extremely beautiful. ”

Lao Zhou said with a smile: "You young people, you are all here to see the holy woman, right? Hmph, the sacrificial ceremony is a majestic and solemn thing, you don't have to be too greedy." ”

A young man smiled and whispered, "Uncle Zhou, who doesn't know that your old man forgot to go home when he peeked at the saint during the last sacrifice? ”

"Haha......" burst into laughter from the crowd.

Lao Zhou was angry and funny, kicked the young man, and said, "Who did you listen to? This is a non-existent thing." ”

The young man who was beaten rubbed his buttocks and complained: "My mother said this, and Aunt Wang also said it." Oh, by the way, I've heard Aunt Li say it. ”

Lao Zhou shook his head with a smile and said, "You kid, stop talking nonsense." Lao Zhou took a deep breath, a smug smile appeared on his face, and said with a smile: "Oh, but you really don't know, that saint is really beautiful." ”

Lao Zhou squinted his eyes and said intoxicatedly: "She seems to be a fairy floating down from the clouds, a goddess in a dream, hey." ”

The young man took Lao Zhou's hand and asked, "Uncle Zhou, I heard that the saints of the sacrificial ceremony will be dedicated to Lord Dragon God, so what will happen to the saints who are sacrificed at the end?"

Lao Zhou shook his head and said, "I don't know this, according to legend, only those who have the blood of the Dragon God in their bodies are qualified to become saints." I've also heard from others that after the Holy Maiden completes the sacrificial ceremony, she will become an apostle to the Ryujin-sama to help the most pious people fulfill their wishes. ”

Lin Ziyun shook his head and remained silent. In his opinion, this is basically feudal, and it is a non-existent thing. The people here are too superstitious, maybe there is no dragon god at all, and the sacrifice of the so-called holy woman is just an excuse to make people feel at ease, just a plan.

Shi Su sighed and said, "Then these saints are too miserable, I guess their fate should be miserable." ”

Hua Taoyao smiled and said: "Miss Shisu, none of us know what happened to this holy woman, and we can't draw conclusions too early, let's go and see it together." ”

Lin Ziyun nodded, since he has come, there is naturally no reason not to go. At this moment, a question arose in Lin Ziyun's heart, if he really met the saint and was killed by this group of superstitious and ignorant people, would he come to the rescue? Lin Ziyun said in his heart: "The people I want to save may not be the saint, but these ignorant people." "Even if he has the ability to save a saint, but what about the future? Not to mention that even if he does make a move, people will not necessarily be grateful to him. With this contradiction in his heart, Lin Ziyun lost a lot of interest in the next trip.

Not long after, Lin Ziyun arrived at Tianyue City. By the time they arrived, the sacrificial ceremony was already taking place. Lin Ziyun stood in the crowd, looking at the Tianyue Kingdom monarch standing on a five-pointed altar and kneeling down with a huge bronze statue with a reverent face.

Lin Ziyun's eyes twitched when he saw the bronze statue clearly. Lin Ziyun lost his voice and said: "This is the candle nine yin." "Niuniu Chinese Network

"Candle Nine Yin ......" Hearing Lin Ziyun's words, Shi Su Zhi and Hua Taoyao also exclaimed in unison.

Candle Jiuyin is the true spirit of heaven and earth, and legend has it that Candle Jiuyin is the most evil race among the dragon clan. There is no dragon horn and there are feet, it is said that the eyes of the candle nine yin can pass through the netherworld, down to the nine secluded yellow springs, and up to the nine heavens. When it opens its eyes, it is dawn, and when it closes its eyes, it is dark. In its eyes is the sun and the moon and the stars, there is the way of reincarnation, the change of yin and yang.

The second change of Lin Ziyun's true spirit is Candle Nine Yin, and his understanding of this true spirit is clearer than many people. Lin Ziyun's change in cultivating candles and nine yin was because he found a dragon's nest in Qishan, and he had also seen the five-colored altar depicted in the dragon's nest and the scene of the sacrifice of the ancient clansmen. Could it be that the dragon god sacrificed by the people of Tianyue Country is Candle Jiuyin? In the human world, has the custom of sacrificing Candle Jiuyin in ancient times still been preserved?

If this is the case, then the ancient Candle Nine Yin has already left, and there is no Dragon God Lord at all. And the saints here are nothing more than sacrifices in vain, what is the point of their sacrifice?

Thinking of this, Lin Ziyun couldn't help but be full of anger. These superstitious and ignorant people have pinned their hopes and survival on an ethereal god, an evil god. Lin Ziyun had seen with his own eyes the carving of Candle Jiuyin absorbing the spirits of those ancient clansmen, and he even found the blood-stained dragon vine in Qishan. He couldn't tolerate these vulgarities, and Lin Ziyun was extremely disgusted in his heart.

Shi Su Lian noticed Lin Ziyun's abnormality and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

Hua Taoyao frowned and said, "It is said that Candle Jiuyin is an evil true spirit, living in the Nine Shadows, eating people's souls and essence blood. Brother Lin should have thought of this too, that's why he's so angry, right?"

Lin Ziyun looked at the pentagonal altar, lowered his voice and said, "The Candle Nine Yin True Spirit has been extinguished, and these people are still holding sacrifices here. They are pushing their own saints into the fire pit, and I will not allow this to happen. ”

The first time Shi Su heard of this kind of thing, this sacrifice was really a human sacrifice, which was too cruel. Shi Su Lian is the seventy-two sects of the Immortal Dao, and when he heard about this kind of tragic thing, he said angrily: "Big brother, we must save the Holy Maiden, we can't let them continue." ”

A trace of helplessness appeared on Lin Ziyun's face, and he said lightly: "We can indeed save that holy woman, but these people will not be grateful to us, on the contrary, they will hate us and oppose us." Even the so-called saint may not necessarily accept our affection. ”

Shi Su said anxiously: "Then what should I do?"

Lin Ziyun shook his head and said, "This is their belief, even if they are ignorant, but once people have faith, no one can easily change their beliefs, and we may not be able to do anything." ”

There was helplessness on Shi Su's face, and she said, "Are we going to watch the Holy Maiden go to death with our own eyes?"

Hua Taoyao said: "Miss Shisu, maybe we think she is sending her to death, but she may feel that this is the supreme glory. Everyone has their own mission, and some missions stick to their hearts, once they can be accomplished, even if they are wrong, even if they cost their lives. ”

Lin Ziyun sighed and said, "No matter what, it is absolutely impossible for me to watch a life be destroyed by them like this. Miss Li'er, Miss Taoyao, there should be a feather stage monk in Tianyue Country, if I make a move later, you should evacuate quickly when you see that the situation is not right. ”

When Shi Su Lian heard this, she hurriedly grabbed Lin Ziyun's palm and said anxiously: "Big brother, Li'er is not afraid, with us here, at least we can share some small troubles for you." ”

Hua Taoyao also nodded and said, "Brother Lin, you can rest assured." How can people say that she is also the female demon of Da Luo Tiangu in the eyes of outsiders, although Miss Li'er's cultivation is still shallow, and she is indeed a little troublesome, but don't worry, I will definitely pay more attention to her. ”

Shi Su's teeth itched, and she glared at Hua Taoyao but didn't speak again.

Lin Ziyun nodded and said, "Okay, you have to protect yourselves, with my cultivation, there are very few people in the human world who can pose a threat to me." ”

Hua Taoyao heard Lin Ziyun's words, although she had long known that Lin Ziyun's strength had improved a lot, she still didn't expect Lin Ziyun's strength to be so strong now. There are very few people who pose a threat to him in the human realm, doesn't this mean that his combat power is already approaching the Jiedan realm. It's only been a long time, and Lin Ziyun has grown to this point. Hua Taoyao looked at Lin Ziyun's figure, with a shallow smile on her face, and that smile rippled on her face like a moon bud.

"Hey, some people's appearance will always be like the brightest star in the sky, out of reach. Brother Lin, I suddenly feel that I am looking at you like this, which is also a very happy thing. Hua Tao thought stupidly.

Between the conversations, it was already the most important moment of the sacrificial ceremony, and the holy woman, dressed in black and with a light veil on her head, walked gracefully to the middle of the altar. A huge bronze tripod appeared from the pentagonal altar, and many soldiers of the Tianyue Kingdom threw cattle and sheep and other livestock directly into the bronze tripod. All the subjects of the Tianyue Kingdom, as well as the Lord of the Tianyue Kingdom, fell to their knees.

The holy woman knelt on the pentagonal altar, and she reached out to take a bronze mirror in the hands of a masked Tianyue countryman and held it in her hand. Immediately afterwards, the robes around the altar began to chant its bizarre verses.

Lin Ziyun looked at this scene, and the scene he had seen in the Qishan Dragon Tomb came to his mind. A thirteen-year-old girl burst into black flames and vanished.

Lin Ziyun couldn't hold back any longer, he cast a true spiritual transformation, and a phoenix feather was born behind him, flying directly to the five-color altar.

"Stop, the true spirit of this world is dead, and you should stop being superstitious. Lin Ziyun stood on top of the pentagonal altar and shouted.

Under the starry sky, Lin Ziyun carried the wings of the phoenix, and his whole body was shrouded in green fairy light, and many Tianyue people knelt on the ground and shouted: "Lord Dragon God has appeared, Lord Dragon God has appeared......"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in blue also flew to the five-color altar, and the middle-aged man pointed at everyone and shouted, "Shut up, this person is a foreign race, not a dragon god at all." ”

"Interracial?"

"yes, you see he has a pair of wings. It's impossible for Lord Ryujin to have wings, this guy is an alien. "There were a lot of whispers in the crowd.

Lin Ziyun smiled coldly, he knew that he couldn't argue. Lin Ziyun was not verbose, he directly cast the candle dragon transformation, Lin Ziyun's momentum changed, and an illusory dragon shadow appeared behind him.

Lin Ziyun looked at everyone and shouted, "I am the dragon god, why don't you wait to worship?"

Whether it was the subjects of Tianyue Country, the monarch of Tianyue Kingdom, or the holy woman kneeling on the pentagonal altar, they all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Lord Dragon God, Lord Dragon God......"

The middle-aged man opposite Lin Ziyun couldn't help it anymore, he was a cultivator, how could he believe that Lord Dragon God would be a young man? The middle-aged man looked at Lin Ziyun's manifestation of the true dragon body, but he couldn't help but hesitate, if it wasn't Lord Dragon God, how could there be such a Dharma body?

Lin Ziyun glared at the middle-aged man angrily, and said loudly: "When you see the deity, you still don't bow down?"

Lin Ziyun's voice seemed to be a thunderclap in the man's heart, his legs were weak, he fell to his knees, and shouted loudly: "Welcome to Lord Dragon God, welcome Lord Dragon God to come......"

Zhang Wenyuan hid in Lin Ziyun's talisman, looking at this scene, he was stunned. After a while, Zhang Wenyuan spoke: "I always thought that Xiao Linzi was a serious person, but I didn't expect to be so good at pretending. The old man is looking away again, and the old man is looking away again. This little evil star has a strange temperament and a mind like a demon, and he can't afford to mess with it. Could it be that I, Xiaoyuan, bah, really want to live in the shadow of this demon for the rest of my life, and succumb to his obscenity?"

Zhang Wenyuan suddenly thought that the word obscenity was not suitable, and licked his lips and smiled coldly. Zhang Wenyuan was thinking about whether to watch out or please Lin Ziyun in the future, when Lin Ziyun suddenly sent him a message: "Zhang Wenyuan, it's time for you to make a move, just scare this group of people hard, don't hurt the innocent, you know?"

Zhang Wenyuan hurriedly drilled out a huge demon head from behind Lin Ziyun, showed a flattering smile, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, master, Xiaoyuan will definitely act according to the master's orders." ”
