"Childe, what are you looking at?"

Gongzi replied without looking back: "I'm looking at Wen Zipei."

I pursed my lips, waved my hand at him, and said, "Don't look at it, I just watched it, and I didn't see him at all."

"Really?" Childe turned his head to look at me, a vague smile on the corner of his mouth. He raised his hand and pointed to a place, "But how did I see him?" ”

"How is that possible?" I snorted softly in disbelief, muttered and looked in the direction he pointed, only to see that in the crowd not far away, Wen Zipei was dressed in black and stared at the empty altar with a cold face.

I was a little surprised: "Huh? Is it really him? Why did he come alone, can he take Jiuhuang away like this? ”

"Nature can't be alone." Childe said leisurely, and pointed to a few places casually.

I looked one by one in the direction he pointed, and saw that there were many people with very strange whereabouts in the crowd, and their locations seemed to be random, but they were faintly centered on Wen Zipei.

I paused and said, "Childe, why did Wen Zipei keep his promise to pick up Jiuhuang?" It stands to reason that he shouldn't have come, but he did. I thought for a moment and continued, "Childe, I really can't find any convincing reason. ”

Childe looked at me for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Don't you know that Jiuhuang gave him a Gu?"

I was stunned: "Gu? What Gu? When was it ordered? ”

Childe sighed with a "tsk" expression, "Don't you really know that you are a pig" expression: "I don't know what Gu is, but when did it ......" He paused, "It's when Jiuhuang gave him medicine."

I touched my chin and recalled the scene of that night, and felt that Jiuhuang really just drugged him, and didn't do anything about it. For a long time, I hung my head in frustration, because I really couldn't find anything unusual, let alone see the Nine Phoenix Gu.

Childe looked at my appearance and laughed, as if he knew what I was thinking, and said, "If it is so easy for you to discover, then the Gu art in Southern Xinjiang will not be daunting."

I pursed my lips: "Childe, I can hear a thick contempt in your tone......"

"Oh? Really? How did I not know? ”

"Shh I gave him a blank look and decided not to bother with him.

I changed my sitting posture, and as soon as I raised my eyes, I could see that the white jade on the altar was clear, as if I felt something, I sighed and said softly: "But then again, I really didn't expect that a simple person like Jiuhuang would also give Gu to others."

Childe raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and followed my gaze, only to see a red figure walking slowly up the hundred and one steps.

It took me a long time before I heard him say: "Xiao Yu'er, this is not simple, she was just raised in the palace since she was a child, and the people and things she came into contact with were too simple, and she never felt the complexity of the world."

He paused, and then summed it up word for word, "She's just not in the world yet." ”

When Jiuhuang walked up to the altar, it was noon. Although it is winter now, there is a good weather today, and the thin light is sprinkled on the body, although it is not as strong as the summer day, but it also dispels a little cold.

I squinted at Jiuhuang. Compared with the complicated sacrificial clothes before, Jiuhuang only wore a dance skirt today. The dance skirt is still a dazzling red, with layers of smoke on the ground, dragging out a twisting skirt behind her.

Around her waist was a sash of red gold embroidered with moire, and several silver chains with silver bells were attached to it. The sleeves outlined by gold thread are long and wide, and they are gently hooked in the crooks of the arms as they hang down naturally, revealing their fair shoulders.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Jiuhuang's mouth, powder was lightly applied on his face, and a pair of eyes under the willow eyebrows were bright and smart, as if they contained thousands of stars in this world.

She still wears a delicate silver crown on her head, and the white phoenix picked out by the silver thread is set on both sides of the silver crown and spreads its wings, and several silver chains hang down from the crown, mixed in the hair, and the green silk is as black as ink.

Looking up again, I saw a fire phoenix with wings painted on the forehead, and the small silver on the silver crown swayed slightly between the foreheads, making the fire phoenix more lifelike.

I squinted at her and felt that Jiuhuang was really beautiful today, but ...... I touched my chin and thought, with such a long skirt, it will definitely not be very convenient for Wen Zipei to take her away after a while.

After I told Childe about this, Childe looked at me for a long time, and then said, "Little ballad, you are really realistic."

"Realistic?" I raised my eyes to look at the altar, where the Nine Phoenixes had just finished reciting the recitation and were being worshiped by all the peoples, and their fiery red clothes were so brilliant that they seemed to burn in the rare sunlight.

"But I think I'm just telling the truth." I said slowly, holding my chin.

The musicians under the altar were already in place, and Jiuhuang was standing in the center of the six drums at this time, with red shirts on the ground, and his face was rare and calm.

I squinted my eyes and knew that this was the beginning of the festival to be danced during the sacrifice to the heavens in southern Xinjiang.

When the first note was struck, Jiuhuang gradually stretched her body, and she made a gesture of holding the sky with both hands, standing with her left foot upright, and her right foot raised back, and her toes facing up. I've seen her practice this movement many times, and it's the beginning of the sacrifice.

After years of precipitation, the ancient music continued to sound, and Jiuhuang raised his hand, and a red lian flew out of his sleeve, and then hit a drum placed around him heavily. As the music gradually accelerated, Jiuhuang's dance steps also became brisk. The light gauze on the sleeve carries the red sun on the horizon, which looks particularly good.

Hong Lian constantly beats on the drums, and the low and shocking drum sound and the ancient and mysterious music are particularly breathtaking.

Everyone held their breath and looked motionlessly at the dancing woman on the stage. I also watched it with great interest, in fact, I didn't think there was anything in this dance when I watched Jiuhuang rehearse this sacrifice, but at this time, Jiuhuang put on formal clothes and danced with the music, it was completely like a different person.

The drums continued to beat faster and faster. And when the festival was about to end, Jiuhuang suddenly raised his arm lightly, and a red Lian was thrown out and wrapped around a stone pillar.

The people who were in charge of the ritual of worshipping the heavens when they were close to each other suddenly panicked after Jiuhuang made this move, but most of them were still immersed in Jiuhuang's dance and didn't notice anything unusual. But I know why those people are flustered, because in the dance rehearsed by Jiuhuang, there is no such step.

As I was thinking this, Jiuhuang suddenly tapped his toes with his strength and flew to a drum. At this time, the talents in the audience became puzzled and began to whisper to each other.

Jiuhuang stood on the drum, looking at everyone condescendingly, the skin on the edge of his cheeks was transparent by the sun, and his red clothes were so hot that it seemed to burn.

She tilted her head, looked at the crowd of people in turmoil below, and suddenly evoked a smile.

She raised her eyes, looked in the direction where Wen Zipei was, and bent her eyes and said crisply: "Ah Pei, come and pick me up!"

The crisp and soft voice echoed in the air, and I saw Wen Zipei's eyes in the crowd sank, and he made a movement with his right hand raised. When the people scattered throughout the crowd saw it, they immediately took out a black scarf to cover their faces, drew out the soft sword hidden at their waists, flew out of the crowd, and fought with the Praetorian Guards. Their movements are staggeringly fast, and at first glance they are veterans of this kind of work.

At this time, the whole scene was in chaos, fighting and running, and no one cared about Jiuhuang who was still standing on the altar.

Wen Zipei took the opportunity to fly up, stepped on everyone's shoulders and flew all the way to the altar, and reached Jiuhuang's side with a light tiptoe. Jiuhuang looked at him, tilted his head and smiled very beautifully. Wen Zipei had no expression on his face, and he wrapped around her waist and took her out of the altar with his strength.

When Jiuhuang was taken away from the altar, Zhiyu happened to climb up, she looked at Wen Zipei beside Jiuhuang, her face was full of panic, and even her voice was slightly distorted: "Holy Maiden, what are you doing?" Come back! ”

"Come back?" Jiuhuang tilted her head, her long hair was blown by the wind, and the silver crown fell into the crowd, she looked back and smiled, very amazing, "Sister Zhiyu, I won't come back." I'm leaving, I'll come and see you when I have time. ”

Zhiyu watched Wen Zipei take Jiuhuang farther and farther away between the ups and downs, she looked at the stunned guards around her, and shouted hoarsely: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Chase it! If you can't chase the saint back, you will come to see you! ”

Only then did the guards around come back to their senses, and they all bowed their heads in response to "yes", and then gathered people and hurriedly chased after them.

I watched the two figures, one red and one black, gradually moving away, and the guards behind me were chasing after me, thinking of Wen Zipei's skills, I couldn't help but say, "Childe, did you see it?" Wen Zipei's move was so handsome and cool, and he flew to the altar with a brush. Tsk, why don't you think I'm that good? ”

"You?" Childe chuckled and pulled me to my feet. He straightened the hem of his slightly messy clothes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "You better not be delusional." Besides, Childe and I are also very powerful, why don't you worship and worship me? ”

"Childe, narcissism is a disease, it must be cured!"

I glanced at him rather disdainfully, and didn't want to talk to him anymore, so I made a trick and followed behind Jiuhuang.

Childe looked at the back of me leaving, shook his head and smiled helplessly, and tapped his toes and followed.

Wen Zipei didn't go far with Jiuhuang before he was stopped. When Childe and I arrived, they were being forced onto a cliff.

Wen Zipei held a soft sword in his hand, and his eyes looked coldly at the guards and dark guards in a circle, and Jiuhuang hid behind him, retreating cautiously.

A secret guard saw that Jiuhuang would fall down if he retreated, and hurriedly said: "Holy Maiden, don't resist, come back with us!"

Jiuhuang snorted and grimaced at them: threatening, "I won't go back!" I tell you, if you push me again, I'll jump from here. If I die, see what you do when you go back!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the secret guard's face changed. But it was only for a moment, and he immediately returned to his normal appearance. He hugged his fists at Jiuhuang and said in a low voice: "In that case, Holy Maiden, offended!"

As soon as the words fell, they rushed over with the screams of the Nine Phoenix.

Wen Zipei's eyes froze, and he fought with them while holding his sword. Although the tricks are sharp and go straight to the key points, after all, they are outnumbered, and after a while, there are a few more openings on their bodies.

Jiuhuang retreated while being protected by Wen Zipei, she looked at the wounds on Wen Zipei's body, and she was about to cry.

She retreated to the edge of the cliff, looked at the misty abyss below, and couldn't help shrinking her legs, but she still had the courage to say: "You, if you force me again, I will really jump from here!" After finishing speaking, she found that no one paid attention to her at all, she stomped her foot, and there was a slight cry in her voice, "I, I really danced, I really jumped!" ”

With that, she stepped back again, and by this time she had indeed retreated to the edge of the cliff, and was about to fall in one step.

Maybe Jiuhuang's luck was really a little bad, she was unsteady on her feet when she took a step back, then slipped a little, leaned back, and then, fell straight down.

"Ah——!!h

Jiuhuang screamed, his dress flew up, and his body was like a red butterfly with broken wings, breaking through the clouds and falling without hindrance.

Wen Zipei's hand holding the sword paused, and then subconsciously turned around. Seeing that he was so careless, several swords with a cold light stabbed at him from different directions without hesitation.

I thought that Wen Zipei Tie would definitely be splashed with blood on the spot, but I didn't expect him to just shout: "Zuo Yu!"

Before the words fell, a long sword appeared without warning, picking away several swords behind Wen Zipei. Then the man turned around, and the sword swept away, and blood splattered everywhere.

I grabbed Childe's sleeve and said excitedly: "Childe, have you seen it, this trick is so handsome, really handsome!"

Childe took my hand away with a look of disdain: "What kind of eyes are you!"

I snorted softly, and didn't bother with him, and when I looked further to the edge of the cliff, I saw the corners of the black clothes flashing, leaving only a man in a black power suit with a cold face holding a sword and fighting with the secret guards.

I was stunned, trembling and stretched out my finger to point to the edge of the cliff, and looked at Childe with a blank expression: "Childe, I just saw a person fall."

Childe also looked at the edge of the cliff and corrected: "It's not that you fall, it's that you jump."

I continued: "That person seems to be Wen Zipei."

Childe continued to correct: "It's not like, it's what it is."

I choked: "Childe, they won't die like this, right?" That's too sloppy! ”

Childe turned his head to look at me, and the corners of his mouth pursed: "Do you want to go and see?"

I thought for a moment, then said, "Yes!" I paused, scratched my head at the end, smiled "hehe", and added embarrassedly, "But before that, Childe, I seem to be a little hungry." ”
