Chapter 65: The Candlelight Host (1st Update)
While speaking, the Hundred Flowers Fairy had already led us into the Hundred Flowers Palace.
The Tiangang Array that was in the garden last night did not appear again today, presumably she deliberately took it away.
However, to my surprise, in the front hall, eight drums were placed in eight directions, and one drum was also printed on the glazed ground and on the top of the head.
There are still blue and white characters embedded on the drum surface, but the positions of the characters of the Birth Gate and the Death Gate have been reversed, and now the northeast direction is the Death Gate, and the northwest direction is the Life Gate.
"Brother Prince, I don't know who broke into the Hundred Flowers Palace last night, although there was no theft, but this long-lost ten-sided ambush array was added to the front hall, I thought about it for a long time, but I still can't solve it. ”
The Hundred Flowers Fairy is anxious to clear up her relationship with the ten-sided ambush array, it should be that her wings are not yet full, and it is not good to expose the person who secretly communicates with her!
Rong Ji looked at these drums quietly, "If you can't untie it, you still dare to enter this formation?"
"I..."The Hundred Flowers Fairy lowered her head and said guiltily, "I thought that the prince's brother could solve it, so he walked into the formation without any scruples." ”
After all, the Hundred Flowers Fairy still suspected Rong Ji's head.
To dispel her doubts, I walked slowly to the northeast, pointed to the drum and asked, "What are these drums for?"
As soon as I stretched out my hand, the Hundred Flowers Fairy nervously dragged me back, "Don't touch it! The ambush array on all sides is extremely dangerous, if you touch the door of death, don't talk about you, even me and the prince's brother will suffer!"
"Which drum is the door of death, then?" I raised my eyebrows, looking down at the Flower Fairy, who was half a head shorter than me.
She was hesitant, "The ten-sided ambush array has been lost for a long time, and I don't understand it." ”
"Then we can't sit still, can we?" I walked around the Hundred Flowers Fairy and walked due north, beating the drum with my hands.
The drums thundered, and several lightning bolts plummeted.
Tolerance dodged and held me in his arms, opening a barrier that could only hold two people, enveloping me.
I leaned on his chest and said sullenly, "It's not just a few bolts of lightning, I can still handle it." ”
"Don't move. Tolerance stubbornly pressed me into his arms, his chest warm despite his expressionless face.
The Flower Fairy outside the barrier is a bit too busy to take care of herself. She fled in all directions to avoid the lightning.
"Brother Prince, save me!" the Hundred Flowers Fairy held her head and begged for a jealousy.
Rong Ji ignored her, and waited for a few bolts of lightning to slam on her head, which dissolved the barrier and quietly let go of me.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy was scorched black by lightning, and sat on the ground crying aggrievedly.
Heh, she can really pretend! She can become the master of the Hundred Flowers Palace of the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, and her strength will definitely be more than that.
I paced back and forth between the northwest and due west directions, pointing to the drum in the northwest direction, and asked Rong Ji, "Why don't we try this again?"
Rong Ji walked due south, and before me, he beat the drum, "I think this side is good." ”
Due south, fire.
Rong Ji and I looked at each other and smiled, and then I used the thunder fire ignited by my fingertips to resist the sudden fire around me.
Surrounded by fire, Mars actively avoided his body, seemingly fearing him.
On the other hand, the Hundred Flowers Fairy has just been shocked by electricity and burned again, which is not miserable. She writhed in the fire, her delicate skin burned like dry wood.
"Brother Prince, save me!" The Hundred Flowers Fairy burst into tears, and like a fireball, she crawled towards Rong Ji.
There are still a few drums that I haven't played, and I don't want the Hundred Flowers Fairy to wilt like this.
"Snow falls!" I twisted the snow trick, letting the fluttering goose feather snow slowly extinguish the fire for the Flower Fairy. This process lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and the Hundred Flowers Fairy was very painful.
She looked pitiful, but her clenched fists in her tattered sleeves silently leaked her anger.
Before she could recover her strength, I stomped on the ground and stomped on the drum, which had only phantoms in the glass floor.
And Rong Ji, the Sky Slashing Sword was gently thrown towards the top of his head, and the drum above his head made a deafening sound.
In an instant, there were countless poisonous snakes under their feet, and the top of their heads were densely packed with arrow feathers.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy glared at me almost madly, "If you don't know the formation, don't make a mess!"
I leaned into Rong Ji's arms and stretched lazily, "I have the prince's brother to protect me, and I don't know how to form and I am not injured!"
"You!" the Hundred Flowers Fairy gritted her silver teeth, hating me very much but unable to help me. As she fended off the arrows, she pulled out the feathers that had stabbed her arm and stabbed them at the vipers that had climbed up her calves.
Arrows and arrows seal the throat, decisive and crisp.
I can understand the language of beasts, and naturally I can communicate with poisonous snakes.
With a finger of my finger, I pulled the snake out of the mess, pinched its mouth and warned, "You'd better keep them away from me, or I'll pick your skin and drink wine." ”
The venomous snake at the head nodded timidly, "Spare your life!"
I let go of my hand slightly and put it back in the snake pile.
But it suddenly looked back, and Sen Ran's fangs were biting at my tiger's mouth. I grabbed its head with my backhand, tore its entire mouth into two petals, and threw it towards the side of the Hundred Flowers Fairy's legs, "This is what happened to me." ”
As soon as the snake king was removed, the ten thousand snakes retreated like a tide.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy glanced at the snake king who was dying at his feet, thoughtfully.
"Splash!" Rong Ji's Sky Slashing Sword flickered coldly, and the arrow feathers flying above his head stopped his footsteps, and all of them retreated.
The antechamber fell into a deathly silence.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy should have never been so embarrassed in her life, her skin was scorched, and the black sweat merged with the bright red blood flowing from the blood hole on her body.
She closed her eyes, curbing the anger that welled up in her eyes.
"Ambush formation on all sides, that's just it. I sighed, and walked again to the door of death in the northeast.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy opened her eyes suddenly, and struck the drum in the northwest direction one step ahead of me, and as soon as the door opened, the formation was broken.
She looked tired, no longer pestering Taboo, and turned to leave the antechamber.
"This time, she shouldn't suspect that it was you and me who broke the formation last night!" I smiled and looked at her staggering back, feeling very happy.
Rong Ji replied, "Probably not. ”
It's just that she can bear it, she was shocked by electricity, burned by fire and bitten by snakes, but she can still leave peacefully. "I sincerely sighed, I really underestimated the Hundred Flowers Fairy before.
As soon as the Hundred Flowers Fairy stepped out of the front hall, a fairy greeted her, who happened to be the one she saw last night. Although her appearance is not unforgettable, I was still impressed by her extremely graceful swan shoulders and neck.
She leaned over to me quietly, sniffing deeply at me.
I took in her expression, but fortunately I applied a thick layer of fat powder today, and I am afraid that I can't smell anything other than the smell of fat powder on my body.
"Your Highness, please come here!" she led Rong Ji and me to the backyard and pointed to the west wing, "Yesterday I don't know what the intruder did to the fairy's pet, it became so manic that it banged its head against the wall, and the fairy had to imprison it with chains. ”
"Just such a small matter, it also needs to be handled by the main hall?" Rong Ji snorted coldly, and stopped his steps.
"Your Highness doesn't know that the fairy's pet is wild and untamable, and if it breaks free, it may hurt the innocent. Xian'e pronounced words clearly and calmly.
I was already a little interested in the beasts in the West Wing, so I naturally refused to let go of this opportunity easily, and dragged Rong Ji to the West Wing.
Inside, a black-haired beast was trapped in the middle of the house.
Rong Ji and I entered the house, and Xian'e immediately closed the door and left in a hurry. For a moment, I even felt that Xian'e was intent on letting the beast tear me and Rongji to pieces.
However, the beast was not in good condition, and it struggled to stretch its neck, but not only did it not break through the collar, but the fur on its neck fell to the ground, revealing bloody wounds.
"It's uglier than Owin!" I sighed, circling around in front of it.
It stopped roaring, and its eyes as big as brass bells looked at me, "Where's Oin?"
Does it know Oin?
"You answer me a few questions first, and I'll tell you. ”
The beast bared its teeth and opened its bloody mouth, "Look for death!"
The collar around its neck shattered instantly, and its nostrils smoked with rage.
The Nine-Knuckle Whip hooked around my waist and dragged me back, "Be careful. ”
I rolled up my sleeves, and my fingertips lit up the fire of heavenly thunder, shaking gently in front of its eyes, "Answer my question, or I'll burn you to the ground." ”
It took a step back in fear, "How can you have the Heavenly Thunder Fire?"
"Answer my question first. I extinguished the flame in my fingertips and looked up at it, "Who are you?"
"Candlelight. ”
I poked at Rong Ji secretly, "Who is Candlelight?"
"The ancient divine beast is 37,000 years older than Aoyin. ”
Tsk, the Hundred Flowers Fairy was able to subdue the ancient divine beasts?
"Then why are you in the Hundred Flowers Palace?"
Candlelight was angry, and wisps of green smoke rose from the tip of his nose, "The host sent me here just to please a morning glory." ”
"Who's the host?" finally asked something useful, and my eyes lit up with excitement.
Candlelight shrank her head, pulling at the wound on its neck, black and red blood spilling all over the floor.
"Who's the host?" I asked.
Candlelight shuddered and let out a heart-rending roar, "I can't say. ”
"Why?"
Candlelight has fear in his eyes, "The curse of the host." Once I say it, I'll die with no place to bury. ”
Is this host related to Qinnu? I stopped asking Candlelight, climbed up its back, and treated the wound on its neck.
"I'm Oin's host, and it's fine now. I don't know why you're mad today, but I hope you take care of yourself. I put my hand into its wound and pulled out the nails that were deeply embedded in its flesh, "Since I have become the pet of the Hundred Flowers Fairy, I must learn to compromise, everything is still possible in life, and there is really nothing in death." ”
Candlelight slowly lay on the ground, and said sullenly, "I saw you last night, right? The aura on your body is very similar to my former host, I thought it was the former host who came to me, and I was so manic in a moment's anxiety. ”
I jumped off the back of the candle and patted it on the head as I usually did to appease Oin, "Take care of yourself, old fellow. ”
Rong Ji subconsciously stepped back, looking at my bloodstained hands with disgust, "Don't touch me." ”
"Hey, I don't want to touch you yet!" I rubbed the blood on my hand and pushed the door open and walked out.
Rong Ji hurriedly followed behind me, and seeing that I ignored him, he stepped forward by himself, carefully avoiding the blood stains on my body, "You have the talent to tame divine beasts. ”
"Not necessarily, otherwise why haven't I been able to tame you for so long?" The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, I worked hard to clean the wound for the candlelight, and Rong Ji not only didn't help, but also stood on the side and said cool things, thinking I was dirty!
Rong Ji mustered up his courage before he took my blood-stained hand, lowered his head and kissed the back of my hand, "You have completely tamed me. So, do you want to ride me?"
"Poof-" I didn't hold back for a moment, and laughed, "Dressed beasts!, don't ride you!"
"Duplicity. ”
Rong Ji quietly wiped the lip flap that had just kissed me with his sleeve, but I knew that he had always had a habit of cleanliness, so I didn't care about him.
"Candlelight says that my breath is very similar to its former host, what do you think?" I sniffed the smell of my body, a faint aroma lingering on the tip of my nose, but it was just the delicate fragrance of my daughter's house, neither fairy nor evil.
"It's cursed, and it can't say anything. For now, only by first finding out its current host can we peel back the cocoon and find its former host. Rong Ji said, accidentally stepping on the dark grid.
Rong Ji and I fell down coldly.
"What kind of fetish is morning glory, burrowing everywhere!" I cursed, my hands and feet quickly wrapped around Rongji's body.
"Be careful, don't move. Rong Ji looked down at the characters on the ground, his sword eyebrows furrowed, "Can you understand these characters?"
I followed his gaze and looked at the characters on the ground, which were exactly the same as those on the blue and white screen, but unfortunately, I still couldn't remember what they meant.
For a while, I couldn't remember. ”
My heart beat faster suddenly, and I tightened my hand around Rong Ji's neck, "Let's go, I'm feeling a little flustered." ”
"Shhhh
Rongji's ankle is bitten by a small snake that burrows out from under the characters, making a subtle inhalation sound.
I looked nervously at his ankles, blood seeping through and a strange red plum flower imprinted on the hem of his spotless clothes.
"Where did the snake go, is it poisonous?" I insisted on jumping from his arms, lifting the hem of his trousers and examining his wounds.
"Slipped, but it shouldn't be poisonous. "Rong Ji moved his ankle, and there was no sign of poisoning.
"Let's go back first. I tugged at Rong Ji's arm, panicking.
"Your Highness, why are you here?" the swan-necked fairy lay up, looking down on us in the dark grid.
I looked up at her face, she wasn't too close to us, but definitely not too far away. But I suddenly couldn't see her facial features clearly, which made me feel uneasy about being constrained.
"I'll pull you up. Xian'e held out her slender hand towards us.
Originally, I only knew that her swan neck was good-looking, but I never thought that her arms were weak and boneless, smooth as tender lotus roots, and white as frost and snow.
Yongji avoided her hand and grabbed my waist and flew to the ground, "Let's go back." ”
