Chapter 29 Ancient Divine Bird 4
It's getting hotter and hotter, it's getting more and more painful –
"Come on, put out the fire quickly, Ah Mo is almost dead!" I seemed to hear the third brother yelling something, and I guess he thought I must be burned to death.
Then, through the air that was strangely churned and distorted by the flames, I saw a third prince dressed in an aqua blue robe galloping from the streets in the distance on a white horse, as if the rain had broken through the blue sky, and he seemed to be shouting something, but I could not hear anything.
I don't know how he appeared in Xiliang, maybe he must not believe that I was in Zhongtian's soul scattered, so he rushed back to Xiliang to find me, just like when he was in Beiyanpo in the past, he stupidly sacrificed his life to fight the white-eyed wolf king.
It's just that why is the person who comes, not that person?
"Amo! Amo! ”
"—Stop! Put out the fire! Let her out, let her out!! ”
"Your Majesty, once the flame of burning the banshee is ignited, it will burn away all the sins in the Three Realms......"
"Shut up! Let her out! ”
"You are so bold, Lone ordered you to put out the fire quickly, did you hear it!" The roar became more and more anxious, almost hoarse, and the third brother ran desperately up from under the high platform with his sword, until he rushed to the depths of the flames where I was—
The flames were so bright that the flames on the altar burned all over my body, and it became more difficult for me to breathe...... Fire everywhere! The churning air made the scene in front of me even more distorted.
Everything was scorching, mixed with the crackling sound of flames burning white sandalwood.
The pain of dying...... It almost made my heart burst, and I closed my eyes slightly in the flames like a snake swallowing letters—
Then, there was a sharp popping sound from the center of the red flame! The dazzling seven-colored light hit the sky, and everyone was stabbed in the eyes by the dazzling glow, and they couldn't help but bow their heads.
I suddenly transformed into a pure white phoenix bird from the flames, and soared into the sky from the altar.
A louder wave erupted among the crowds that had gathered from all directions to the entire Dunhuang City.
"Chirp—"
I held my head high, chirped, shook off the soot and ashes from my wings, and slowly circled over the altar with a light and proud gesture. The noise of the crowd was instantly clogged up by pious and agitated emotions, and they fell to their knees, and some of them wept because they could see the ancient divine bird once in their lives.
I saw the Great Witch disciple drop the torch in his hand in a daze, and the third brother with red eyes suddenly stopped on the steps leading to the altar, looking up at me intently, but unable to say half a word. He should have understood why I didn't wear the fire yarn anymore, if I was bound by something like that, I was afraid that I couldn't change.
I saw a vast expanse of white on the ground, and countless figures in white robes were lying down together, making mechanical worship gestures to me without stopping. And Han Zhou's white horse neighed and stopped outside the crowd, he wanted to conjure up a flood of East China Sea water to extinguish the flames, but the moment he saw me transform into a divine bird, everything in his hand stopped, his eyes were full of disbelief.
Then, I saw the figure of Xuanhei standing in the depths of the clouds, it was Wei Wuji's figure. He looked at me expressionlessly, his hand shining with a dazzling white light, enveloping into a huge golden dome, covering the entire territory of Xiliang.
The scorching sun and drought are a fantasy enchantment he created for Xue Yiren, waiting for him to take the bait-
Sure enough, in the sandalwood white dragon under the altar, a silvery light suddenly flashed. The crowd was in an uproar again, only to see a silver python also soaring into the air. As if provoked by me, it rushed through the air with a fierce momentum.
It turns out that this is the real body of the Great Witch Xue Yiren, a big python.
All the spectators ran outside, even the men who had been hiding in the carriage and ox cart at first, and everyone looked up to watch the battle of the phoenix python in the grand spectacle.
The python ran wildly for a while, and began to follow my footsteps upward, trying to wrap its body around me. I spread my wings and stooped to dodge, but his steps were quicker. For a while, the clouds turned into clouds and flowers, covering my shadow.
People let out a sigh of regret as I watched as I was entangled in the python and couldn't breathe. Suddenly, there was a rapid whistling sound of sharp arrows from the sky, and Wei Wuji picked up his bow and arrow without thinking, and shot it towards the python's eyes.
Immediately after that, the pale white feathers fluttered, and the python suddenly felt pain, let go of me, and suddenly swooped to the ground and pounced on the people of Dunhuang City. Before everyone had time to applaud, they were all stunned when they saw this scene suddenly change. When the python opened its mouth and swallowed the two of them, the people on the ground woke up like they had just woken up from a dream, crying and crawling around to escape for their lives.
And Huai Bing, the great witch disciple who had originally set fire to the altar, took out a piece of rune paper folded into a square shape from his arms at this time, and threw it lightly on the fire, and the rune paper flipped and circled on the burning flame, but it did not fall. The next moment, the darkness of ignorance shrouded in the head, and the darkness hovered over the altar like flowing smoke, but in the blink of an eye, the vision disappeared, and the originally noisy street suddenly became extremely quiet, extremely quiet.
I flapped my wings, only to feel a cold sweat dense on my back, and subconsciously looked down, only to see that everyone on the street maintained a posture of running outward, like statues fixed in place. My throat couldn't help but tighten, it seemed that I not only underestimated this Xue Yiren, but also his unfathomable disciple.
