Hearing that the high priest gave up ascending the throne as king in order to marry him, Ji Buyun couldn't hold back his feelings for the high priest anymore, and reached out to hold her tightly in his arms.

The high priest buried his head in Ji Buyun's chest, and said shyly in a voice that only he could hear: "I fell in love with you as soon as we met that day, I secretly looked at you several times, and I always felt as if we had met in a dream, and I thought that I must marry you, and I would marry you without an oracle, so I took off the veil when I sent you out, and normally I need to confirm it twice before you can see my face, and today you helped me bandage the wound and touched my body again, I don't want to marry you." Your appearance just now scared me, I thought you didn't like me, who knew you were worried about our identity gap, scared me to death. After speaking, the powder fist lightly hit Ji Buyun's chest a few times.

Ji Buyun said softly: "Me too, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I almost lost my temper when I smelled the fragrance on your body, but the gap between our identities is too big, and I don't even dare to think about such a thing as being with you." ”

"I didn't have this fragrance on my body before, but as soon as you entered the door that day, I suddenly had it, and the priest of Jinghu said that this is Wangfu incense, and only when the creation flowers bloom, I will have this fragrance on my body when I see the person I want to marry, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Jinghu, Palm Wine, Jade Offering, and Sun Shou were the four main assistants around the High Priest, and Jinghu was in charge of all the texts of the Priests' House and teaching the young priests, and she must have read the relevant records.

"It's true, this scent can be transmitted through the consciousness. As soon as the words came out, Ji Buyun regretted it.

If it were the queen, Ji Buyun would definitely get to the bottom of it when she said this, and force Ji Buyun to explain clearly, how do you know this? Who told you? Where did you tell you? Wait, wait, and in the end, she will let him swear to his own mountains and seas, otherwise he will definitely not give up.

The high priest's face did not change, as if she didn't hear it, she said softly: "As soon as the meeting of the ten people ended, your uncle sent someone to the mountain to look for you back, who knew that what he brought back was the news that you fell down the mountain stream, they were all frightened, but I was not afraid at all, I believe that Haotian will not let him have any accidents for the person I chose." ”

"Is my uncle okay? Ji Buyun was raised by his uncle since he was a child, and he has a deep relationship with him, so hurry up and inquire.

"It should be fine, I haven't seen him for more than a month, he heard that something happened to you, and personally came to you with three thousand Praetorian Guards, I was inconvenient to be with them, so I secretly took Wo Ju and Wo Yu into the mountain, fortunately I met you, pity the two of them. ”

The High Priest's eyes glistened with tears again, and his body trembled slightly.

Thinking of the dangerous scene at noon, Ji Buyun also had palpitations, and he comforted the queen and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The queen was silent in his arms for a moment, and asked, "What medicine did you give me?" ”

"It's the bamboo of the purple bamboo. ”

The high priest raised his head, looked at Ji Buyun with sparkling eyes, and said in surprise: "The purple gold bamboo that the phoenix eats is legendary?"

"Yes, I only have three left, two for external application and one for you to take orally. ”

The high priest looked at him with an indescribable tenderness in his eyes, and said, "One Zijin Bamboo can bring people back to life, and you use three at once, it's a pity." ”

Ji Buyun said: "It's a pity, as long as you are not in danger." ”

The queen didn't speak, hugged Ji Buyun, and leaned her head quietly in his arms.

Under the starry sky, Ji Buyun looked at the quiet high priest in his arms, and couldn't help but think of the queen, five days ago, she had leaned on his arms like this, and he swore to her, I don't know if this is a violation of the oath now? It's just the high priest's affection for him, he can't refuse at all. Now he can't tell who is more important in his heart, so he can only take one step at a time.

Ants once told him that men must learn to refuse. Ji Buyun now really wants to ask the ant, like the current situation, how should he refuse two women like this? Which one should he refuse?

The high priest's words woke Ji Buyun from her contemplation, and she said softly, "You haven't eaten yet, you must be hungry, right?"

"Well, I'm hungry, my lord. ”

"I'm not full, so please warm up the rest of the meat for me, okay? Don't laugh at me. ”

Ji Buyun couldn't help laughing, he put the rest of the barbecue meat from the high priest and the barbecue meat left for himself just now on the charcoal fire to heat.

The high priest leaned against the stone wall, sat on the bamboo bed, and said to him, "When there are many people, you don't want to be rude, you can call me Lord if you want, and when there are only two of us, can you not call me Lord Lord?"

Ji Buyun flipped the barbecue in his hand and said, "Okay, what do you want me to call you?"

The high priest said, "When I was a child, my family called me Duo'er, so you can call me like that." ”

"Okay, Doer. Ji Buyun tried to scream.

"Hmm. Behind him came the light laughter of the high priest.

When the meat was hot, he handed her the high priest's share, took his share and sat down against the stone wall under the bamboo bed, and the two began to eat. The high priest now eats with great grace, and he no longer drinks wine after taking small bites.

After eating, Ji Buyun helped the high priest wash his hands, picked up the garbage on the ground and threw it into the fire, filled the fire with a few pieces of firewood, turned the fire on, and then sat down against the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, keeping a certain distance from the high priest.

The high priest broke the silence and said, "When you first disappeared, your uncle advised me to ascend the throne first as a precaution, but I refused. ”

"Why? ”

"I think very clearly, they are right, now the people in the highlands are unstable, although there are oracles for the two things of marrying you and ascending the throne, it is too difficult to do them together, I can only pick the most important thing for me to do. ”

"Is it more important to marry someone than to be king? ”

"Don't laugh at me, I'm a woman, I don't have any desire for power, of course I think it's more important to marry, and I'm lucky enough compared to those high priests who never married. ”

Ji Buyun felt that the high priest was much gentler than the queen, in the same situation, the queen would definitely say that she was not allowed to laugh at me, in a commanding tone, while the high priest said not to laugh at me, in a consultative tone. It's just the queen's domineering, with another style.

"For the highlanders, it was difficult for a high priest who married a half-breed to become king, even if he had an oracle. Ji Buyun said.

"Well, that's right, that's what your uncle persuaded me, but I don't care about that, what I care about is that it's more difficult for the Queen of the Highlands to marry a half-breed. ”

Ji Buyun was moved again, and said, "Thank you, Duo'er." ”

"Thank you, it's my choice. ”

Then the two chatted about the scene when they met for the first and only time, and Ji Buyun found that the high priest remembered every detail clearly, and knew a lot of things he thought she didn't know, including his secret look at her height, and his subtle gaffe when he faced her at the palace gate.

"I didn't know what was going on at the time, but suddenly I had a feeling that I didn't have to look up to know what you were doing, and I thought it was a legend. The High Priest smiled shyly and said, "Later, they told me that the spell taboo had been opened, and this was the Divine Sense. ”

"Then what was I thinking at the time, do you know?" asked Ji Buyun.

The high priest said, "I don't know, I only have the most basic divine sense. ”

Under the firelight, Ji Buyun looked at the beautiful face of the high priest who could not be described in words, and said softly: "Your smile at the gate of the palace let me know what love at first sight is, but I didn't dare to show it at that time, you are a noble high priest, I am a mixed race who can't enter the Senate, I know the identity gap between us." ”

The two talked about Lord Ao Zhiwu and the rumors that he proposed to the high priest.

The high priest was colorful, and his slightly hoarse voice revealed endless majesty: "He is an adult, he knows the oracle represented by the creation flower, the creation flower does not bloom, I can't marry, the creation flower blooms, I must marry the person who makes me bloom, although the highlanders believe in Haotian's heart is not so pious, but I am in this position, I would rather die than disobey the oracle, he knows that I have no possibility with him, those rumors should be fabricated by his subordinates, the purpose is to attract attention to him." ”

"Understood. ”

The high priest said: "I do not like these shady methods very much, especially because they have ruined my reputation, so I want the five people to announce our marriage on the first day of the plenary session of the Senate, and I want everyone to know that it is you who God wants me to marry." ”

She paused for a moment, smiled at Ji Buyun, and said softly: "Not only does God want me to marry you, I also want to marry you, after the news is made public, someone must be secretly making trouble, please bother with me, okay?"

"Okay, I'll be with you, Do'er. Ji Buyun understood that the high priest meant that if there were any problems in the future, she would face them with him, and these problems should be aimed at him, but she said that they were her own, which made people feel very comfortable.

The two chatted until midnight, and Ji Buyun was afraid that the high priest who had just recovered from a serious injury would be tired, so he persuaded her to rest early.

The high priest responded, thought for a while, and said to Ji Buyun: "There is one more thing, I want to trouble you." ”

"Please show me. Ji Buyun stood up and replied respectfully, and then stretched.

The high priest was amused by his actions and smiled slightly, and said, "After the creation flower bloomed, Haotian gave me an oracle to enter the secret realm to practice, I have been busy, I didn't care about it, can you accompany me tomorrow?"

"Of course, it's a great honor, Lady Dole. ”

After saying goodnight to each other, the two went to sleep separately.

When he woke up the next morning, the high priest was already able to go down to the ground, but he was weak and needed Ji Buyun's support to walk slowly. Ji Buyun estimated that her wounds had healed, and what she had to do now was to recuperate, but she didn't say it, and he didn't dare to ask.

Ji Buyun first helped her to the stream to wash her hands and face, and then returned to the cave and ate a few bites of the leftover food from yesterday.

The high priest stretched out his left hand and drew a mysterious and complex symbol on the palm of his left hand with the middle finger of his right hand, and a compass appeared in the palm of his hand, and there were two shadows on the compass, the real shadow represented the direction, and the virtual shadow represented the distance. He picked her up and followed the direction of the secret realm indicated by the compass.

She held Ji Buyun with one hand, grabbed the torn clothes with the other, and walked very slowly. On the way, she blushed and stopped talking to him several times. He guessed what she meant, and tried to ask, "Are you tired?"

She lowered her head vigorously and hummed softly.

Seeing this, Ji Buyun smiled in his heart, hugged the high priest in his arms, smelled the charming cold fragrance, and strode away.

After walking for about an hour, a group of Praetorian Guards appeared in the distance on the mountain beam in front of them. These must be looking for his colleagues, Ji Buyun was overjoyed, and as soon as he said hello, a jade hand covered his mouth. The high priest pointed at him and then at himself, and Ji Buyun immediately understood how the noble high priest could let others see that he was with him like this. It was too reckless, Ji Buyun's face was hot, and he hurriedly got into the woods next to him and passed through it from the side.

On this day, the two of them kept hurrying, and when they encountered a rugged mountain road or dense woods, Ji Buyun jumped forward. The high priest lay in his arms, wiping his sweat from time to time, talking with him, and taking his arm around him for a while. Nearly in the evening, the two came to an abrupt mountain, standing on the top of the mountain, you can see a jade belt in the distance around the mountains, the high priest said that this mountain is called the mountain of pilgrimage, and the jade belt is the river of the gods.

The phantom shadow on the compass in the high priest's palm had completely disappeared, and the real shadow was pointing to a black boulder more than ten feet high on the top of the mountain. The high priest asked Ji Buyun to put her down, he helped her, and the two came to the boulder. The high priest put the palm of his left hand on the boulder, and the boulder radiated a thousand feet of light, reaching into the sky, and a brilliant gate of time and space flashed in the middle of the light, falling from the sky. The door was closed, and the crimson door was filled with colorful light, and there was a rolling thunder from inside the door, and countless lightning bolts streaked inside and outside the door.

The high priest pulled Ji Buyun and bowed three times to the gate of time and space, the closed door opened, and the two of them walked into the misty door with lightning and thunder. As soon as they entered the door, the clouds and mist dissipated, and the two of them were in a sea of flowers, high and low, far and near, and there were strange flowers and plants everywhere, woody, herbaceous, vines hanging upside down, hanging down from the trees, countless kinds of flowers blooming in the wind, competing for beauty, thousands of colorful butterflies dancing between the purple and red, the colors are gorgeous, the fragrance is fragrant, just like a fairyland.

What's even more amazing is that the sun is rising here.

The two walked slowly among the flowers, and the flowers and butterflies reflected the peerless high priest, giving Ji Buyun the illusion that she was the fairy in the flowers. The High Priest was a little excited to tell him that the Wox Ancestors were the flower gods of the Garden of the Gods, so the secret realm of the Highland royal family was a beautiful garden. Ji Buyun said in his heart, then your identity is far worse than mine, Zulong is my ancestor, counting, your family is just a gardener in our family.

At the end of the flower bush is a blue lake, the water of the lake is clear and visible, the lake is full of snow-white lotus flowers, and the golden bottom of the lake is full of countless red swimming fish playing leisurely.

There is a red marble palace by the lake, the palace shape is simple, the palace wall is carved with various mysterious patterns, along the bluestone steps, Ji Buyun helped the high priest slowly into the palace. Entering the hall is a wide living room, the ceiling more than two zhang high is full of pearls, there are three three, three small and six rooms inside, Ji Buyun immediately recognized it, the pattern here is exactly the same as the queen's bedroom, it turns out that her enchantment is created according to here.

Seeing that the high priest was slightly panting, Ji Buyun picked her up without asking for her opinion, and carried her to visit from room to room. There are tables, chairs, and tea sets in the living room on the left, and there is a case, a stool, and a stool in the study room on the right. A bookshelf, there are a lot of books neatly placed on the shelf, but there are no creation flowers on the case, and the others are no different from the queen's study; one of the large ones is the bedroom, the bed is covered with thick red animal skins, and the quilt woven with beautiful feathers is neatly folded this time; two rooms connected to the bedroom, one is the bathing dressing room, the other is the dressing room, and the crystal crown in the style of Qingluan is placed on the dressing table; the relatively independent one on the right is the wine storage room, the wine storage shelf is empty, and the whole wall opposite the wine rack is inlaid with the jade relief, and the mountains are vastThe water is murmuring, making you feel like you are boating between the mountains and rivers.

Ji Buyun was in a trance for a while, feeling like he was going around in circles these days, and after a circle, he turned around and returned to the queen's bedroom, but the queen next to him was no longer the queen in the state of the primordial god, but the real high priest.

The high priest looked at his expression, immediately understood something, lay down in his arms and asked softly, "Is this exactly the same as hers?"

Thinking of the queen and the happy times the two spent together, Ji Buyun's expression was gloomy and he replied, "Yes." ”

The High Priest was obviously more empathetic than the Queen, and she comforted in a gentle voice that could not be more gentle: "She used to be the Queen of the Highlands, in fact, my dormitory is also in this pattern. ”

Ji Buyun gently put the high priest on the ground, held it steady, handed her the endless bottle, and asked, "Will it be used?"

The High Priestess snorted, pressed the Endless Bottle with her hand to the vast smoke of the relief, and muttered a few words in her mouth, and when her hand was withdrawn in a moment, the Endless Bottle disappeared, and the water on the relief flowed.

Ji Buyun asked the high priest to stand against the wall, he ran to the living room and took two teacups back, after cleaning them, he first handed the high priest a glass of water, and then took a cup and drank it all, the familiar feeling of satiety returned, and he understood that the flower of earth and water can only really play its role here.

The high priest also drank the water in the cup, shook his delicate body, and then showed joy on his face, and said to Ji Buyun: "I seem to have strength in my body." ”

Ji Buyun looked at her and said, "The flower of earth and water, only here is the real flower of earth and water." ”

The high priest smiled, pulled him to the bedroom, and opened the wardrobe, which was full of red robes, cloth, yarn, silk, satin, brocade, feathers, and all kinds of materials. Stroking the clothes, the high priest's eyes were full of surprise, and he exclaimed, "It's so beautiful. ”

Ji Buyun immediately understood what she meant, and said, "I'll go out for a walk, you take a shower and change your clothes." ”

The high priest's face flushed, and he whispered yes.

Ji Buyun got out of the palace and sat down on the stone steps in front of the palace, and the morning sun reflected on the white lotus on the lake, adding a touch of joy to it.

There is a looming mist on the surface of the lake, and the water of the lake is like a beautiful jade, fresh, tranquil and exuding a soft light.

After sitting on the steps for a long time, Ji Buyun found that the sun shadow was still in its original position, and he realized that in this secret realm, time always stopped in the early morning, and everything was at its most beautiful.

The high priest finally walked out of the palace slowly, she changed into a brand new silk red robe, wearing a green luan-shaped crystal crown, her hair that had not yet dried was simply draped behind her, the morning glow was reflected on her faintly pearlescent flowing peerless face, faintly there was smoke and light, and the beauty was even more incomprehensible.

The highlanders strictly forbade anyone to wear red clothes, because it was the exclusive color of the royal family three hundred years ago, and the high priest had not yet ascended the throne as king, so she wore red robes, one because there were only red clothes here, and the other was that she believed that Ji Buyun would not talk to anyone about it.

She walked to Ji Buyun's side, slim, smiled shyly, and asked, "Is it good-looking?"

The red robe should have been carefully selected by her, and it should be more appropriate to say that it was a well-tailored red skirt, setting off her waist and undulating chest, and a pair of jade feet as white as snow were faintly revealed under the skirt.

"Beautiful, very, very good-looking. Ji Buyun unconsciously used the queen's idiomatic language.

"I'm talking about the lotus. ”

"I'm talking about you. ”

The high priest glanced at him and said, "You can really speak." ”

"What I said is true, every time I see you smiling at me, I feel like a lotus flower blooms in my heart. ”

"My natal flower is the White Lotus. The high priest said leisurely: "I don't want to have any secrets with you, this lake is the lake of divine consciousness where I cultivate my divine sense." ”

Then, she told Ji Buyun that the highlanders' spells attach the most importance to divine consciousness, and divine consciousness cultivation takes precedence over aura and spell cultivation, and this is the sacred place for highlanders' divine consciousness cultivation, which originally belonged to the queen and now belongs to her. After the human spell taboo was opened, she had the basic divine sense for the first time, and quickly realized the convergence of spiritual energy, and now she wants to raise her divine consciousness to a certain level here, so that she can carry out the next step of spiritual energy and spell cultivation.

"It turns out that I haven't understood that all my things are cultivated according to the classics, and I just don't do anything at all, but now I know that the spells in the world have been sealed, and no matter how much I cultivate, it's useless. The high priest looked at Ji Buyun with a smile and said: "I don't have much interest in spells, but I'm in this position, and I have to work hard to cultivate, in fact, what I hope most is that the creation flower blooms, and the taboo is still there." ”
