After the rain, the sky was clear, the sun was thin, Ji Buyun stood in front of the bamboo house with the roasted deer legs and looked at the distant mountains, and the sunset reflected his face.

From noon to now, he hasn't eaten a bite of meat, and he has patronized and served Zulong, but he finally got his wish, thinking that he can get together with the queen every day in half a year, Ji Buyun can't help but be overjoyed.

He cleaned up the rubbish on the ground, re-lit the firewood, and then went to the creek to bring a bucket of water back, and threw away the rubbish such as the roasted deer legs.

Under the red charcoal fire, he leisurely drank wine and ate meat, while recalling the events of the day in his mind, and then thinking of what the queen had said to him, he found that the queen's judgment on the loss of the sacrificial jutsu was not far from the truth, but it was not lost, but because of the relationship between heaven and earth reversal array, the spell could not be used. Thinking of the queen's confusion about the high priest's incense, he vaguely felt that the high priest should have practiced spells, but the taboo was just opened, and like himself who had practiced the dragon dance for many years, he had not yet mastered how to use spells. From the Dragon Dance he thought of ants again, and God knows how much this old guy still has to hide from himself.

He arranged all the things related to spells in chronological order, the first was to see the creation flower bloom in the priest's courtyard and smell the high priest's incense, the second was to find the winning fish that night, the third was to find the purple golden bamboo, the fourth was to win the fish array, the fifth was to pass through the weak water map, the queen Yuan Shen lifted the seal, the sixth was to gather his own aura, the seventh was to see Qingluan and so on. He found that these seemingly chaotic and chaotic things were actually arranged in the order of high and low spells, which meant that as time passed, the aura between heaven and earth would gradually be filled, and the spells of the mages would become higher and higher, and God knew what would happen in the future, so it seemed that he had to hurry to the Central Plains Empire to avoid long nights and dreams.

Under the bright moonlight, Ji Buyun, who was full of wine and food, fell asleep in anticipation of a reunion with the queen. In tonight's dream, in addition to the cold fragrance and the queen's smile that must be there every night, he also dreamed of a white lotus.

When he woke up the next morning, Ji Buyun simply cleaned up the bamboo house, and after determining the direction, he headed to the northeast and hit the road. This time he didn't dare to jump, he walked honestly, stopping from time to time to determine the direction, and when he was thirsty, he drank some of the splendor of earth water in the endless bottle, thinking that even the problem of hunger could be solved together, but he began to be hungry just after noon. Maybe it's because I've eaten too much meat these days, he explained to himself.

After a day of walking through the mountains and forests, he found a cave under the mountain beam in the evening, collected a pile of dead branches, made a fire at the entrance of the cave, and then endured hunger and slept in the cave.

As soon as it was dawn, he got up and continued on his way. The mountains are gradually slowing down, and there are more and more fruit trees and bamboo forests in the mountains. He picked a few ripe red apples, crisp and sweet, with plenty of juice, and solved the problem of hunger and thirst.

When he walked to noon, he was resting by a bamboo forest, leaning on the cuizhu half-asleep, Ji Buyun vaguely heard the sound of fighting, roaring and the woman's soft shouting from the bamboo forest, the woman's voice was indescribably familiar.

Ji Buyun hurriedly got up and followed the sound to find it. In a clearing in the middle of the bamboo forest, a white monkey with four tails is chasing a slender gray-robed woman with her hair scattered. There were two women in highland gray robes lying on the ground next to them, the ground on their chests was blood-red, and the two of them were motionless.

Ji Buyun hid behind the bamboo forest, wanting to observe and figure out the situation first, only to see that the monkey was exactly what he had dreamed of, the white monkey had a fierce tiger head on its body, a red crown on its head, and four tails waving in mid-air like four steel whips. The monkey jumped around her in a circle about three feet away from the gray-robed woman, occasionally grabbing a paw or a tail before jumping, and then quickly fled, and where the claw landed, a faint black light flashed. The gray-robed woman had a blood stain on her chest, obviously injured, but she did not panic in the face of the monkey's attack, calmly followed the monkey around the circle, when the monkey attacked, she pointed at the monkey's claw or tail, and a stone wall appeared at the claw tail attack, and the stone wall blocked the monkey's attack and then shattered in the void. The woman tried to jump out of the monkey's encirclement several times, but was stopped back.

The woman raised her head by chance when she was facing Ji Buyun, and between the messy hair was a beautiful and suffocating face, with skin like condensation, bright eyes, and faint pearlescent flow in her face, that woman was actually the high priest who had haunted him.

Seeing that the white lotus in his heart was being bullied, Ji Buyun couldn't help but scream, the blood all over his body surged above his head, he jumped up, summoned the purple gold sword in his palm, the sword moved with his heart, the purple gold sword came out of his hand, and slashed at the monkey's head in the air. When the monkey saw the sword coming, he turned around and dodged, but somehow paused, dodged his head, and before he could avoid his tail, the purple gold sword slashed at the monkey's tail, cutting off all four tails. The monkey was in pain, howled, jumped over and grabbed Ji Buyun with a paw, but the monkey paw was three feet away from Ji Buyun but could no longer hand it forward. Ji Buyun knew that the Imperial Dragon Pendant could make all demons and fierce beasts unable to get close to him, so he made up his mind, so he stretched out his hand to recall the purple gold sword and stabbed at the monkey bewarely. The monkey tried his best to avoid the vital point, and the purple gold sword pierced through its left shoulder. The monkey wailed, did not dare to fight again, jumped on the bamboo top, rose and fell a few times, and disappeared between the mountains in a blink of an eye.

Ji Buyun saw the monkey running away, and quickly turned around and ran towards the high priest. The high priest obviously recognized him and smiled at him, the smile that began to bloom from the depths of his eyes was like a white lotus, blooming in Ji Buyun's heart, and even his mood bloomed with it. Ji Buyun hurriedly gathered his mind and apologized to the queen sitting in his heart: Xiaorui is the most beautiful, Xiaorui is the most beautiful.

Before he could finish apologizing, the high priest, who was watching her smile, tilted and fell to the ground. Ji Buyun didn't care about explaining to the queen in his heart, and hurriedly ran over to help the high priest, only to see that her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and there was a bloodstain on her left chest. He was worried that the monkey had called for help, and although he was not afraid of those demons and beasts, the high priest would be in danger. He checked on the other two women, both of whom had been out of breath for a long time. Ji Buyun hurriedly cut down a few bamboos to cover the two corpses, carefully hugged the high priest to his chest, roughly estimated the direction, and jumped up.

He had been jumping through the woods for about an hour, and with each jump he would look down at the high priest. The middle high priest awoke briefly, pointed to the wound on his chest, and fainted again.

He stopped in a hidden pine forest at the foot of the mountain, placed the high priest gently on the ground, and examined her wounds. The wound was on the left chest, about three inches long, and the wound was very deep, probably from a monkey's claw. He and the ants had learned simple first aid methods, and knew that the wound was easy to treat, but the location of the injury was really awkward. He must have injured the high priest's wound when he jumped just now, and now the bleeding is non-stop, and if she doesn't deal with it quickly, her life is likely to be in danger. It was about the high priest, he didn't dare to take the risk, and he couldn't take the risk, so he had to bow to the queen and the high priest respectively in his mind, and said "do it urgently", summoned the purple gold sword, and cut the robe where the high priest was injured.

The snow-white expanse that emanated with a cold fragrance made him feel dizzy, and he tried to restrain his mind and wash the wound with the splendor of earth and water in the endless bottle. Then without hesitation, he took out the only three bamboos left in his arms, which are good medicine for wounds, and are said to stop bleeding and build muscles immediately. Chew two according to the method that the ants taught him, apply them to the wound, and tear the hem of his robe to make a bandage. He didn't dare to take off the high priest's clothes, so he could only carefully put his hand into the high priest's robe and bandage her wound around his shoulder, in the middle of which his hand touched the parts that should not be touched several times, and each time he silently recited the sentence "Xiao Rui Mo Wei, High Priest Mo Wei", and then held his breath and concentrated on bandaging.

As soon as Ji Buyun finished bandaging the wound of the high priest, she woke up, and she didn't know if she happened to wake up at this time or on purpose. She closed her eyes tightly and whispered "water", and Ji Buyun hurriedly handed the endless bottle to the high priest's mouth and helped her drink water. After the high priest drank the water, he quickly put the remaining bamboo on her lips and whispered "medicine", the high priest hesitated, and licked the bamboo in his palm into his mouth with a red face.

Only then did he realize how ambiguous this action was, and quickly explained: "In a hurry, the high priest is not to blame." ”

The High Priest hummed lowly, never daring to open his eyes.

Ji Buyun looked up and looked around, there was no shelter from the wind and rain here, it was really not suitable for staying overnight, so he had to say to the high priest: "My lord, you can't stay overnight here." ”

The High Priest hummed again.

Ji Buyun realized that after the embarrassing bandaging process just now, no matter what he said now, the extremely shy high priest would answer with a "um" word. It seemed that it was useless to discuss, he gritted his teeth, plucked up his courage, and picked up the high priest again, he was afraid of touching her wounds again, and did not dare to jump, so he could only walk slowly while searching for a suitable place to spend the night. In the process, the high priest actually fell asleep in his arms. Ji Buyun was very sure that the high priest was asleep, not fainting, because he heard her even breathing.

Ji Buyun knew that falling asleep at this time was a normal sign of relaxing after being too nervous, it seemed that she should be fine, and the heart he had been hanging on finally let go. As he walked, he began to wonder: What is the noble high priest doing in this uninhabited mountain? Haha, it can't be that he is coming to me, is it? No way, no way, haha, this overly narcissistic madness makes him laugh at himself.

The strange thing is that from the time she met the high priest to the present, she was so seriously injured that she not only did not shout "pain", but also did not frown, it seems that she is indeed very human, tenacious enough, tenacious enough, Ji Buyun is full of admiration. What he didn't know was that before the high priest could fully recover from the tension and numbness after the injury, he had already applied bamboo to her, and now her wound was completely healed, only some itchy sensations, the high priest was a girl after all, and it was impossible to tell him this.

After searching for a long time, Ji Buyun finally found a weathered cave on a mountain beam facing south and north, the cave is located halfway up the slightly steep mountain beam, and there are more than a dozen arrow bamboos growing outside the cave. The cave is only about two zhang deep, the cave is very dry, there is no trace of animal activity, and there is a winding stream under the mountain beam. It's a great place to spend the night.

He first put down the sleeping high priest gently against the stone wall, summoned the purple gold sword, cut down a few arrows and bamboos to make a simple bamboo bed, and then gently carried the high priest to the bamboo bed, and sharpened the bamboo to make two bamboo knives and two javelins.

He did not dare to go far, but hunted in a place where the high priest could be clearly seen, but fortunately, as luck would have it, he soon hunted a hare and two pheasants, and after cleaning up by the brook, he picked a large handful of maineau.

The dead branches after the rain were very damp, and he found a dead tree, and the wood that was split into a foot-long piece, and the indestructible purple gold sword, all of which were quickly done.

Finding two stones suitable for fire, he lit a fire at the entrance of the cave, and it was completely dark.

In the firelight, Ji Buyun turned around and saw the high priest lying on his side on the bamboo bed, one hand grasping the crack in his robe, one hand resting under his head, and a pair of bright eyes looking at him. Seeing Ji Buyun turn around, she lowered her head shyly, and the firelight reflected her face.

Although Ji Buyun knew that according to the oracle represented by the Creation Flower, the high priest should marry him, and he had been extremely fond of her, but he had already thought clearly: the identity gap between the two was huge, and he had no ability to cross these gaps at all, and he couldn't think anything wrong about the noble high priest, so it would not be beneficial to himself. Now he thinks his heart belongs entirely to the Queen.

According to the custom of the highlanders, Ji Buyun bowed to the high priest with his right hand pressed on his left chest and gave the highest courtesy greeting: "Haotian God bless you, High Priest. ”

"God Haotian bless you, Praetorian Guard. This time the High Priest finally spoke, her voice slightly hoarse, and the silence revealed endless majesty, only slightly weak.

This is exactly the conversation when they first met more than a month ago, this scene was recalled many times when Ji Buyun was briefly in love with the high priest, and now the familiar scene is staged again, for a moment, Ji Buyun was confused, as if he was in a different world.

He stood for a moment, came back to his senses, and quickly bowed down and said, "There are many rudeness in the hurry, I hope the high priest will forgive the sin." ”

The high priest looked at him and smiled slightly, the smile that began to bloom from the depths of his eyes was like a white lotus, blooming in Ji Buyun's heart again, he found that he couldn't resist her smile at all, and could only silently recite "Xiao Rui Mo Wei" in his heart.

"Hurry up, Ji Buyun, you have nothing to be rude, thank you for saving me. The High Priestess whispered, this time not by the Praetorian Guard, but by his name, apparently she remembered the first time they met.

"Yes, sir. ”

"Woju and Wo Yu, the two of them?"

"I couldn't save them, my lord. ”

The high priest stopped talking, lowered his head, and tears dripped from the corners of his eyes.

Ji Buyun didn't know how to comfort her, seeing that she was sad and her heart actually hurt faintly, so he had no choice but to say nothing: "Is your lord okay?" He knew that his question was a little inappropriate, the high priest had just been injured and had lost two companions, how could it be good?

After a while, the high priest replied, "It's all right." ”

"Is the adult's wound still painful?" Thinking of the location of the wound, Ji Buyun couldn't wait to give himself a mouth, this question shouldn't be asked at all.

The high priest didn't care, didn't blame him in the slightest, and said softly: "It doesn't hurt, but it doesn't have strength." ”

Ji Buyun breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are you hungry?" I have washed Xi Niang fruit here, adults will eat a few first, and I will barbecue now." ”

"Okay, thank you. ”

Ji Buyun walked over and respectfully handed the washed Xi Niang fruit to the high priest with both hands, the high priest sat up, grabbed the place where the robe was cut with one hand, picked up a Xi Niang fruit from his hand with the other, and put it between his lips to taste it slowly.

Ji Buyun put the rest of the Xi Niang fruit on the bamboo bed, and then started to roast the meat with ease.

While he was roasting, the high priest said behind him, "There are only two of us here, you don't need to call me Lord or High Priest, just call me by my name, okay?"

"Don't dare, sir. Ji Buyun stood up and replied respectfully to the high priest.

The high priest stopped talking, and watched him quietly and thoughtfully. After the meat was roasted, Ji Buyun carefully picked out the most delicate parts of the hares and pheasants, skewered them together with bamboo branches, and handed them to the high priest with both hands.

The high priest took the barbecue handed over by Ji Buyun, first sniffed it vigorously, then blocked the cut of the robe with his left arm, held the barbecue with both hands, and ate it in a big gulp, which was completely inconsistent with her usual elegance.

The high priest ate two large pieces of chicken breast in one go, then raised his head, looked at Ji Buyun, who was looking at him incredulously, smiled shyly, and bowed his head and said, "Don't laugh at me, I've been in the mountains for more than a month, and I only ate a decent bite for the first time today." ”

This sentence made Ji Buyun like five thunderbolts, and he stood on the ground in an instant, he clearly heard the hidden meaning of the high priest's words, his overly narcissistic idea just now turned out to be the correct answer, and there was only one reason why the most noble high priest among the highlanders could be condescended to stay in this vast mountain for more than a month, that is, to find him, the partner chosen for her by Haotian God, and she must have come secretly. He had thought about what the high priest was doing countless times in the queen's cave palace, did he think of himself, he thought of all kinds of possibilities, never thought that she had been in this vast mountain for more than a month, sleeping in the open air, and going through all the hard work to find him, and today she almost lost her life here. He had mixed feelings in his heart, and sighed that fate made people, if he had known more than a month ago that the high priest was so firm in his heart for him, he would definitely not have pretended to be to the queen, nor would he be tempted by the queen, even if he had gone through thousands of hardships, he would have to marry the white lotus in his heart. Now, it's too late.

He resisted the urge to hug the High Priest in his heart, respectfully handed her the endless bottle, and said, "Eat slowly, drink saliva, my lord." ”

The high priest took the endless bottle, played with it carefully for a while, took a sip elegantly, and said: "The legendary endless bottle, this water should be the flower of earth and water, you have seen her sealed." ”

"Yes, sir. "Ji Buyun knows that since the high priest knows the Endless Bottle, he must know the queen, Haotian has already told her everything, and there is no need for him to hide it.

The high priest glanced at Ji Buyun and said, "There should be a hundred flowers wine in it, can I take a sip?"

"Yes, sir. ”

The High Priest threw up her head and took a big sip, and when she put down the endless bottle, a flash of color flew over her face, and she was obviously too strong to even notice that her arms had left the tears in her clothes, revealing snow-like skin and most of the towering places. Ji Buyun didn't dare to remind, let alone look, so he could only bow his head.

"I like lotus wine, she makes it so much better than mine. The high priest looked at Ji Buyun with a smile.

Ji Buyun understood what the high priest meant, she must have brewed Baihua wine for her future partner in accordance with the tradition of the highland royal family, she clearly said that the queen's wine was better than her own, and she was secretly feeling that her position in Ji Buyun's heart was not as good as the queen. Since Ji Buyun has been calling her an adult, Bing Xue should be able to judge this right away. Thinking of the changes in the positions of the two in his heart within a month, Ji Buyun was at a loss for a while, speechless to the words of the high priest.

The high priest raised her head and took another sip of wine, savored it for a while, the red glow on her face was even stronger, she handed the endless bottle to Ji Buyun and said, "Good wine, really good wine, don't you drink it?"

Ji Buyun took the endless bottle and took a sip.

The High Priest looked at him and asked calmly, "The other pot of Creation Flowers is full, right?"

"Yes, sir. ”

The high priest gently snatched the endless bottle from Ji Buyun's hand, took a sip, there were tears faintly in his eyes, and said, "Do you know? ”

The two sentences before and after are said upside down, and they should be emotional, and the lover has become a negative man in a blink of an eye.

Thinking of the high priest's happy and excited appearance when the creation flower bloomed, and seeing her heartbroken at this moment, Ji Buyun habitually changed the topic and said: "The ancestral dragon, the first phoenix, and the ghost mother worked together to run the heaven and earth reversal array and seal the aura of the world for three hundred years, so the creation flower has not bloomed for three hundred years. ”

The high priest ignored his words, took another sip of wine, and said quietly: "I believe that the person Haotian chose for me will not have an accident, so I have been looking for it in this mountain, thank you, Ji Buyun, I didn't expect to meet Zhu Yan, fortunately there are you." ”

Only then did Ji Buyun know that the four-tailed monkey was called Zhu Yan, and since the high priest knew its name, he must know about it, but now didn't seem to be the time to ask about it.

The High Priest, apparently drunk, wrapped her arms around her bent knees, buried her head between her knees, and sobbed softly.

After crying for a while, she raised her head, looked at Ji Buyun and said, "Praetorian Guard, I want to ask you something, okay?"

She began to call him Praetorian Guard again, Ji Buyun was at a loss, and lowered her hand and said, "Your Excellency, please command." ”

The high priest wiped a handful of tears, there was a mist on her bright eyes, she stared at Ji Buyun, and said: "The will of God cannot be violated, please save me some face in front of people, behind our respective cultivation is that I will not interfere with you in whatever you want." ”

Ji Buyun understood that the high priest meant that she had to marry him according to the oracle, even if she was a superficial couple, after marrying, she would concentrate on cultivation, and he would do whatever he wanted.

Looking at the high priest with pear blossoms and rain and having made up his mind, thinking of her face full of joy when the creation flowers bloomed, thinking of the soul he had been attached to her, and thinking of the hardships she had gone through in this vast mountain for more than a month, Ji Buyun was moved beyond words, and all the defenses in his heart collapsed in an instant, he apologized to the queen, no longer caring whether it was rude or not, he pressed his hand on the high priest's hand, and said, "Do you know? I fell in love with you at first sight, my lord." ”

The high priest was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then held his hand tightly, looked at him and smiled, and said, "You are worried about the gap between our identities. ”

Ji Buyun said: "Yes, I am a half-breed. ”

The high priest said with a smile: "Do you still remember the reply I gave you on the day the creation flower bloomed? ”

"Yes. ”

"Do you know? Ji Buyun, there are only five words in that reply letter that are actually useful, and the creation flower has bloomed. The high priest looked at Ji Buyun, and his face with vague tears was now full of sweetness, and said: "The five people in power know the meaning of the creation flower, and they immediately convene an emergency meeting, and then a meeting of the ten people. ”

"What was the result?" Ji Buyun looked at the high priest with a tender face, guessing the result of the meeting, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

"If anyone in the highlands dares to disobey Haotian's will, they can only congratulate Haotian on whom I want to marry, and there will be no criticism. The high priest looked at Ji Buyun, a smile bloomed from the depths of his eyes, Ji Buyun felt that her heart was also blooming, she shook Ji Buyun's hand, and continued: "The creation flower blooms has another meaning, that is, Wo re-ascended the throne as king, you have seen her, you must know that Wo is the old thing of the highland royal family, and the current wall of the high priest's hall of the Senate is engraved with the oracle of the creation flower blooming and Wo as the king." ”

"I don't know about that. Ji Buyun said.

"The marriage of the high priest to a half-breed and the re-enthronement of Worth as king are both shocking events, in order to maintain the stability of the highlanders, the other nine adults suggested that I do it separately one by one, I chose to marry you first, and they agreed, and this time the Senate will announce our marriage to the public at the plenary meeting of the five people. ”
