Chapter 9: The Red Fox Dance Festival Night Terror
The altar is located in the atrium of Neverland. A round corner carved fox high platform, white jade steps to lead the way. The altar has a piano platform with a guqin on the platform. The towering fox totem poles on both sides stand majestically, like two proudly upright gods, regardless of the wind and rain, they still adhere to the faith and freedom of the red fox clan.
The fox people are uniformly dressed, lined with a straight collar and long shirt, covered with a white silk shirt with water sleeves, and tied with a red belt knot at the waist. With the altar as the center, a table is set up around it. Wine and food, a dazzling array of food. Behind the altar, a fox orchestra of 100 people is playing the traditional music of the Red Fox Clan. Many wooden musical instruments are strange and have never been seen in the world. The drums are crisp and exciting, the wind music is melodious and light, and the strings are delicate and mellow, making it a soul-stirring movement. Passengers who are destined to sit at the table, revel in it, and linger.
Hongling and Leng Xiang came early, in the front seats. Maybe it was an unprecedented ceremony, and they seemed very excited. The belated Phantom Night found a seat in the back row. After a busy day, Takeya finally got off work, changed back into civilian clothes, and sat with Phantom Night. The view here is expansive, and the altar can be seen in its entirety.
Looking at the monsters in the audience, they are all mediocre and indisputable. Directly behind the seats in front of the altar is a row of human-faced trees, with a bat on the branch that makes Phantom Night a little concerned.
The bat hangs upside down on a tree branch, the wind does not blow, and it is covered in black hair, which naturally blends with the night. If it weren't for those small black eyes, exuding a fierce demonic aura, they really wouldn't have revealed their location. Obviously, in the way of reducing ability, he used his weak bat form to show that he still has such a demonic energy, and it is conceivable that his true strength and blood-devouring nature will be **!
What made Phantom Night feel most uncomfortable was that the bat seemed to be staring at him maliciously all the time. It was easy to remind him of last night's news report about a human rabies infection incident suspected of being bitten by a vampire!
I care, but I don't feel afraid. Moreover, this bat may not be the embodiment of a vampire. And the dance festival starts immediately, and it is not appropriate to have a big movement. So Phantom Night decided to wait and see what happened.
At this time, the music gradually stopped, the orchestra retreated, and the audience was silent.
I saw a man and a woman walking up the white jade steps to the altar. The Red Fox people are characterized by red hair and red eyes, which are already extremely gorgeous. And the men and women who sacrificed, the men were handsome, and the women were beautiful, like a pair of golden boys and girls, which attracted the attention of the audience.
The male fox sits in front of the piano platform, puts his fingers together, wipes and plucks the strings three or two times, and brings up the chanting, and the graceful clear sound is born. The female fox holds a red fan in her hand, and her graceful figure dances with the sound of the piano. Between the flickers of the red fan and the white clothes, the viewer is like entering the fairy mirror.
Qing'er told Phantom Night that the dancer was Jingqiu, the daughter of the Red Fox Patriarch, and that she had been in charge of the dance every year since the first dance festival and was also a candidate for the patriarch. The old patriarch will soon retire, and Jingqiu will be the new leader of the Red Fox Clan. The luthier is Jingqiu's younger brother, called Solstice. Mu Weilai's piano skills are unique in the Three Realms. Zhidong has accompanied Mu Weilai to listen to the piano since he was a child, so he has learned a good piano skill. The Red Fox people agree that it is suitable for these two people to preside over the dance festival!
"This song is so wonderful, it makes people feel calm and their worries disappear!" Takeya praised, "The dance is also very beautiful!" If you can see this dance festival with your own eyes, you haven't lived in vain in this life! ”
Phantom Night nodded approvingly.
Qing'er said proudly, "Jingqiu's dance is only beautiful, and Solstice's piano skills are only good-looking, and they haven't mastered the essence of it yet." Back then, His Royal Highness Mu Weilai danced under the moon, and that was the amazing beauty! And the sound of His Royal Highness's piano is not only the sound of nature, but also purifies evil thoughts and removes demons. The song that Solstice is playing now is called "Qinghe Yin", which is His Highness's favorite song during his lifetime. It is said that it was made by an immortal strange woman named Mingyue. In this song, it praises the vicissitudes of thousands of years. Everything in the world is endless. ”
The silent dance, the sound of the piano in the winter is already breathtaking, rare in the world, but it is so insufficient in Qing'er's eyes, Phantom Night has imagined that the legendary figure Mu Weilai is so captivating. It can make the soul after listening to a song so much that it cannot become a Buddha!
Phantom Night looked at Qing'er with pity, and he really hoped that this affectionate red fox demon could fulfill his wish as soon as possible. However, since it is a swan song for the ages, I am afraid that such a peerless sound will never reappear, then Qing'er's ghost will continue to linger! Suddenly, Phantom Night felt that Qing'er was very pitiful...... I believe that Mu Weilai has knowledge under the spring, and I don't want Qing'er to continue like this!
The dance festival was coming to an end, and the scene was peaceful. A dark black cloud was creeping closer, and soon covered the full moon.
Phantom Night shuddered, feeling a demonic invasion. The eyes of the bat hanging upside down from the branch flashed with an uneasy red light for a moment. The moonlit ground was soon swallowed up by darkness. In the dark corners, black centipede insects continue to emerge - storm insects.
Bands of Tyrant Bugs converged like soldiers on the altar where youkai and humans had gathered, and soon surrounded the altar. And it was the weirdos in black suits who were suspended in the night sky and were in command. The strange man was already tall and thin, and wore a tall gentleman's hat, which looked like a treetop. He wears a white mask with a blood-colored star carved on the mask on a white background. He wears white gloves on both hands and holds a baton in his hand.
The moving music of the dance festival is still being played, so the strange man in the suit exaggeratedly waving the baton becomes the conductor who is engaged in the night. While directing, he sang recklessly:
Little black bugs, you are my sweet children!
Living in the body of youkai and humans, it is the most delicious sugar-coated in the world......
The Demon King Mordor presents the music of the meal, and the table is a sacred sacrifice of the red fox!
……
Storm insects seem to be able to penetrate everything, crawling on the table and then piercing headlong, or diving directly into the body through the soles of human shoes. The Storm Insects that appear on the night of the festival are entities, which means that they are visible to ordinary people.
The beautiful music stopped abruptly, and was replaced by screams and bugs. Youkai and humans began to flee in all directions. And the monsters and humans possessed by the violent insects turned their eyes white and began to attack the others, and for a while, the altar was in chaos, and the fox people were at a loss!
"What's that?" Takeyasheng was so frightened that his feet went limp, and he sat on the ground.
Phantom Night quickly grabbed a storm insect that had crawled onto Takeyayoi's shoulder and threw it to the ground. The storm was on its feet, struggled a few times, and did not move.
"Don't be in a daze, get out of here!" Forcibly pulling Takeya up, Phantom Night anxiously looked for his mother and aunt. The two of them were fighting the Tyrants not far away.
"Wuyin, go and help!"
"Yes, young master! Maiyin is just the right time to have a full meal! ”
Wuyin flew over, and Phantom Night was about to rush over, but was pulled by Qing'er.
"You come with me!" Qing'er pulled Phantom Night and ran in the other direction.
"Where do you want me to go? I can't leave them alone! Phantom Night wanted to break free, but he didn't know that Qing'er's hand was stronger than iron tongs.
Qing'er said sharply: "No! There are too many magic bugs! Only with the Fuxi Qin can they be suppressed! ”
As soon as Qing'er exerted her strength, she dragged the phantom night and disappeared into the chaotic demon group......
Seeing Phantom Night talking to himself first, and then suddenly disappearing in front of him, Wu Yasheng was so frightened that he ran away: "There are ghosts, ......"
Only the black bats hanging upside down on the branches were like surveillance, recording the terrifying and riotous night with bloody eyes......
