Chapter 11: A Sudden Ascension

Changhong moved from the far sky with the momentum of a meteor catching the moon, the speed was extremely fast, like a flowing fire descending from the nine heavens, and ordinary people could only see clearly before approaching, that Changhong was a large number of palace Taoist priests wearing red robes and long robes, their clothes were flying, red as fire.

The Vermilion Bird Sanren Imperial Sword flew in the front, with a solemn and solemn expression, and where the palace audience passed, the Taoist priests of other Taoist temples consciously and orderly gave way and saluted solemnly.

Before the Suzaku scattered people flew to the star-picking platform, they took the lead in flying to the top of their observatory and landed in front of Nangong Yi.

"Your Highness, the poor Dao and all the Dao Elders are ready, and the prayer for rain can begin. ”

Nangong Yi nodded happily and said loudly: "Go, for me to have a good year of wind and rain, pray for the blessings of the gods, and pray for the blessings of Your Majesty!"

"Yes. Countless Taoist priests responded in unison, and a loud echo came from above the square, and the sound shook the sky. Suzaku Sanren regained his sword and flew to the star-picking platform.

Hua Yu stood aside, suddenly a little uncomfortable.

When the two of them were talking, the eyes of countless people in the sky and the earth were here, but Nangong Yi was the only one by her side, and Hua Yu had already felt those eyes passing over her, making her face hot.

On the other hand, Hua Yu also felt more deeply the authority of King Huai as the regent - it was the responsibility of the Son of Heaven to pray for the country, and in His Majesty's absence, King Huai gave orders on behalf of the Son of Heaven. As soon as he spoke, no one in the sky and on the earth dared to disobey, which was really majestic.

"It is the first year that the crane dances to the sky, and I don't know if it can attract rain or how much rain it can get. Nangong Yi looked at the star picking platform and whispered to herself.

Hua Wei looked sideways, Nangong Yi's long eyelashes curled slightly in the wind, her eyes looked firmly and clearly into the distance, her clean and neat face contour was delicate like a handicraft, and her thin lips were slightly pursed, and she could see that her expression was very focused, and the man who was focused was the most handsome.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and said firmly: "Today's wind is very humid, which means that there is plenty of moisture, as long as Danhe Dao Chang does not make a big mistake, it is no problem to ask for rain." ”

——

Suzaku Sanren made a series of instructions on the star-picking platform, as if to finally confirm the opening of the formation, and then she pulled out a charm, silently reciting the Dao method, the spell burned in her fingertips, she raised it to the sky, and between the sparks splashed, a fiery red figure fell from the sky, like a phoenix was born.

Suzaku Sanren disappeared on the star-picking platform, replaced by a slowly falling Danhe, she was draped in a red dress several zhang long, and her long sleeves and clothes hung meanderingly under the star-picking platform, swinging without wind.

Hua Yu could see at a glance that the red robe had been tempered with medicine, and the patterns on it contained spells to help the caster provide physical strength and stay awake, so that the caster could stabilize the turbulent power in the array.

The function of the formation is equivalent to a powerful field, which is used to increase the spiritual power of the caster, which is divided into four levels: Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, and the higher the level of the formation, the higher the requirements for the caster.

The array of praying for rain in Chang'an City is probably a Xuan Rank, but because of the large area, the Suzaku people are unable to support their operation after the formation opens, so they need Danhe to dance.

The effect of this array will eventually cover the entire sky over Chang'an City, so Danhe needs to evenly channel the rich power that emerges from the star-picking platform to all parts of Chang'an, so her role is crucial.

Everyone in the audience held their breath, you must know that it is not possible to ask for rain every year, if the caster does not act properly, the power in the formation will be dispersed. If the rain does not come, it will seriously affect the people's expectations for the new year.

Hua Yu suddenly thought that this was the first year of the new emperor's ascension to the throne and the first year of King Huai's reign, so it was no wonder that he was so nervous about praying for rain.

At a certain moment, Danhe suddenly opened her eyes, as if some force was supporting her, causing her to rise straight into the air on the star-picking platform, which indicated that the formation had been activated.

Danhe moved, the whole person was really weightless, up and down in the air, her gorgeous red clothes from time to time there were patterns lit up, or on the shoulders, or on the waist, shining like a fiery color; the long sleeves turned around her body, the hem of the clothes opened as if to cover the sky, she was like a phoenix in the fire, beautiful and shocking.

Invisible forces swung around the star-picking platform like water ripples, the breeze quietly became stronger, and the originally clear sky began to gather clouds, and the sky was darkening.

Danhe's dance steps were a little stiff at first, and then gradually improved, and it seemed that it was going well, and Hua Yu calculated, and after half an hour, it would definitely rain.

However, the change was only in a moment, and Danhe had just withdrawn a long sleeve and wanted to direct the power of the formation somewhere, but suddenly he didn't move, and the whole person froze in mid-air like a stuck.

Everyone either couldn't see it clearly from a distance, or thought it was a mistake and didn't care, and they didn't suspect it, but Hua Yu chuckled in her heart.

I don't just say what I will come.

In a hurry, Danhe waved his other sleeve, but due to the wrong timing, he collided head-on with a force, and a stream of blood gushed out of her forearm and spilled on the star picking platform, but she was dressed in red and was not noticed.

"Ahh

At the same time, the dark clouds that had gathered above her head suddenly began to rotate counterclockwise, forming a whirlpool, and purple lightning faintly lit up in the middle.

The people did not know why, and they thought that it was about to rain, and began to cheer.

Hua Yu suddenly grabbed the wall battlement with both hands, and shouted in a lost voice: "Stop the formation!

However, she forgot that she was far away from the star-picking platform, and no one paid attention to this sound.

Hua Yu suddenly thought that there was a high-ranking regent beside her, and immediately turned her head and explained to Nangong Yi: "Your Highness, quickly order a halt to the formation! Danhe Dao Chief's spiritual power is disordered, and there seems to be a sign of promotion, and he needs a safe and stable environment now, and he can't let her stay in the formation anymore!"

Nangong Yi didn't look at Hua Yan, she kept looking in the direction of Danhe, pursing her lips and saying nothing.

"Your Highness?"

"There can be no stoppage. Nangong Yi refused.

"What?" Hua Yan's eyes widened, and she said hurriedly: "The danger in the formation is like a sea of swords and fire, if she stays any longer, she will be hanged by the chaotic force!"

Didn't Gao Ning say that Danhe was his woman? Hua Yu couldn't believe his ears, he actually refused to stop the battle.

Nangong Yi's expression was cold, and he spoke in a deep voice, his voice was like the moonlight, and he was cold: "If the battle is stopped at this moment, praying for rain will completely fail, and then it will cause the people to discuss, and the stability of the country is not good, Danhe will not die, and he will become a sinner." ”

Hua Yu's heart was instantly cold, Danhe was in a deep crisis, the first thing he thought of was not her safety, but whether the rain could go well, was he planning to welcome a good omen after taking office, gambling on the life of a woman who loved him with all his heart?

Hua Yu couldn't accept this prevarication, and retorted: "What if it's unfavorable? What about sinners? Even if you can't ask for rain today, the harvest may not be bad, as for letting Your Highness see death or not?" she frowned, and the more she spoke, the sharper her tone became.

Nangong Yi turned his head to look at her, the eyes that were still warm a moment ago were full of cold at the moment, and the air around him seemed to be cooling down without saying a word, and Hua Yu shivered coldly.

She took two steps back, but stubbornly stared at him and refused to give in, thinking sarcastically: This person has a good face, but his heart is black, heh, it is good to be powerful, and he can despise the lives of others at will.

"Okay! Your Highness won't save if you don't save it, don't hinder me from saving it!" she hated to leave the next sentence, didn't look at him again, and concentrated on watching the situation on the star-picking platform.

"Why don't the Suzaku people shut down? Isn't Danhe her beloved disciple? He doesn't even care if she lives or dies!" Hua Yu didn't know how to complain.

"Linchao! Linchao!" she suddenly jumped onto the battlement, waving her hand and shouting loudly to the sky.

"Danger! Come down!" Nangong Yi's face changed drastically, and he unconsciously stretched out his hand to her. The lookout is dozens of feet away from the ground, and if you fall, you will be crushed.

Hua Wei shrank and trotted along the wall, Nangong Yi was afraid of stimulating her, and she didn't dare to chase her, but fortunately, she saw it from afar, and immediately flew over.

"What's wrong with Uncle Shi?"

"Take me there. Hua Wei tugged at Lin Chao's sleeve, stepped on his sword without saying a word, and drilled in front of him, like a dexterous squirrel.

Nangong Yi stood silently on the lookout, her eyes darkened, and she stared at her over the court, her gaze was extremely cold, but she didn't dare to look back as if she had been scalded by boiling water.

Didn't she hate Edgeworth? In order to save Danhe, she didn't care about her seniority, didn't care about men and women, and took the initiative to let Linchao take her? Nangong Yi felt annoyed for no reason.

Seeing that King Huai didn't say a word, Hua Wei urged in a low voice, and finally decided to listen to Uncle Shi's words, and after hurriedly saluting Nangong Yi, he flew to the star-picking platform with Hua Yu.
