(Cat flutter Chinese) Wei Jiuxiao took Yu Miaomiao back to the room.

Yu Miaomiao's whole body shrunk into a ball, and she couldn't stop shouting cold.

Even putting a few layers of quilts on her won't help.

Ming Ruyan proposed to take a hot bath to keep warm.

Wei Jiuxiao asked him to prepare hot water, but Yu Miaomiao on the bed interjected, "Don't be so troublesome, if I become a fish, I only need a little water." ”

I have to admit that Yu Miaomiao's method is very convenient.

The hot water can be prepared quickly, and it will not attract the attention of the temple.

"Just do what she wants." Wei Jiuxiao said.

Ming Ruyan prepared hot water, Wei Jiuxiao went out to find the chief guard Kong Zhen, and ordered him to quickly go down the mountain to pick up Mei Ruhua from the post station.

When they went up the mountain, everyone else was waiting at the post station, because Old Man Mei was crazy, so he didn't bring him up the mountain.

But now that Yu Miaomiao has a problem, he doesn't dare to let people from the temple take care of her.

Kong Zhi led the order to hurriedly go down the mountain, and when Wei Jiuxiao returned to the house, he saw a copper pot on the table, and Ming Ruyan was preparing a charcoal fire.

Wei Jiuxiao was stunned and took a few steps to the table.

I saw a red carp in the copper pot sinking listlessly in the water.

The corners of Wei Jiuxiao's mouth twitched.

"What is this doing?" Is it really preparing a hot bath for Yu Miaomiao, why does it look like eating carp hot pot.

Ming Ruyan said helplessly, "This method is the fastest." ”

It won't attract the attention of others, and the people in the temple know that they just want to improve the food.

The charcoal fire heated the water a little, and Ming Ruyan quickly lifted the copper pot away from the charcoal fire.

Yu Miaomiao gurgled and bubbled in the water.

Wei Jiuxiao's brows were furrowed tightly, and she kept standing in front of the table with her hands and looking at the copper pot, Ming Ruyan controlled the water temperature very carefully.

An hour later, Kong Zhen took Mei Ruhua into the door.

"Hey, Lord Wang, eat fish hot pot tonight." Old man Mei rubbed his hands excitedly.

Wei Jiuxiao's face sank, and she glanced at him secretly.

Mei Ruhua came to the table, and then saw the fish in the pot

"Miss Yu? The prince finally figured out how to cook Miss Yu? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about." Ming Ruyan couldn't wait to shut the mouth of this crazy old man.

Briefly said the previous blessing in the main hall, and Old Man Mei twisted his beard around the copper pot and kept looking at it.

"Strange, strange"

"What's so strange?" Ming Ruyan asked.

"The fire cloud bead in the girl's body has no effect."

"What?"

Wei Jiuxiao and Ming Ruyan couldn't understand what Mei Ruhua was saying.

The fire cloud bead was obviously in Miao Miao's body, how could it be useless.

Mei Ruhua groaned, "I don't know why this happened, the Fire Cloud Bead is no different from an ordinary bead now, she has swallowed a lot of ice crystals before, and the heat and cold cannot be reconciled, so she will feel cold." ”

Wei Jiuxiao stretched out her right hand and gently poked the head of the red carp in the water with her index finger.

Yu Miao was embarrassed and couldn't keep her spirits up, but she still reluctantly wagged her tail, which was a response.

"Will the Fire Cloud Bead be restored?" Wei Jiuxiao asked.

Mei Ruhua shook her head, "I don't know about this, it's the first time I've seen this kind of thing, I think the prince should still ask Miss Yu in person, maybe only she herself understands what happened." ”

Mei Ruhua and Ming Ruyan all withdrew, and only Wei Jiuxiao and the fish in the copper pot were left in the house.

"Come out." Wei Jiuxiao knocked on the edge of the copper pot.

Yu Miaomiao jumped out and turned back into a human form.

Even though she wrapped herself in the quilt, she still shivered with cold.

"Did you hear what Mei Ruhua said just now?" Wei Jiuxiao asked, "What happened, why did the Fire Cloud Bead in your body have no effect?" ”

"I don't know." Yu Miaomiao looked innocent.

"If you think about it carefully, you went to the small garden with the Second Highness that night."

"Hey, wait a minute." Yu Miaomiao tilted her head, "By the way, I had a dream in the main hall. ”

"Dreams?"

"It's a strange dream, I dreamed of a big firebird, I think it should be."

Wei Jiuxiao's face was blank, but a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

"You mean you dreamed of the Suzaku Divine Envoy?"

Yu Miaomiao pouted, "I don't know if it's a divine envoy, anyway, I dreamed that a strange woman said to me that she wanted to borrow my strength, and then I felt that the mark on my shoulder hurt here" As she spoke, she lifted the quilt and looked at her shoulder.

"Ahh She suddenly exclaimed, "How the mark has faded!" ”

Wei Jiuxiao leaned over and looked at her shoulder.

I saw that the black one-winged butterfly mark faded in color, as if it had been soaked in water, as if it could disappear at any time.

Wei Jiuxiao touched the mark with her finger.

"Hiss" Yu Miao shrank in pain.

Wei Jiuxiao grabbed the corners of the quilt and rewrapped her tightly.

"Stupid Fish"

Yu Miaomiao felt that Wei Jiuxiao's tone carried an indescribably complicated look.

"Did I do anything wrong again?" Yu Miaomiao asked worriedly.

The last time she was spanked by him, it was bad enough, she didn't want to be slapped again.

"You must not say anything about this, no matter who it is." Wei Jiuxiao stared at her eyes, and her serious expression made her feel cold behind her.

"Why?" She swallowed her saliva with difficulty.

"The Suzaku Divine Envoy hasn't shown miracles for hundreds of years, and it is the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy that you dreamed of, if people know your dream, do you think the people in the temple will let you go?"

Yu Miaomiao blinked her eyes, "I just had a dream, can the people of the temple still eat me?" ”

Wei Jiuxiao shook his head lightly, "They will do everything possible to keep you and become their holy daughter." ”

"Me? Saint? Yu Miaomiao pointed at herself, and suddenly laughed, "Wei Jiuxiao, don't be joking, I'm rolling with you, how could they want me to be a saint." ”

What is called rolling together

For her description, Wei Jiuxiao could only respond with a short silence.

"Anyway, you just don't talk about it." Wei Jiuxiao warned.

"Actually, it seems like it's pretty good to be a saint." Yu Miaomiao thought heartlessly, "Look at how comfortable Qiao Yu is in the temple." ”

Wei Jiuxiao squinted at her, "After becoming a holy woman, you can never leave the temple, you must not marry, and you must not even have a close relationship with a man. ”

Yu Miaomiao froze.

What the? You can't associate with men

If you can't even flirt with beautiful men and handsome guys, what's the fun in life!

The two were talking, and a bright voice came from outside the door.

"I'm sorry, Miss Qiao Yu, my prince is resting and is not in sight."

Qiao Yu said softly: "I'm not here to see King Youyou, I heard that Miss Yu is sick, so I came to see her." ”

Yu Miaomiao heard Qiao Yu and Ming Ruyan whispering outside the door.

I don't know if Ming Ruyan got Wei Jiuxiao's order in advance, anyway, no matter how euphemistic Qiao Yu begged, Ming Ruyan didn't let go.

"The prince and Miss Yu have already rested and are not in sight."

"I just want to see the girl." Qiao Yu accentuated his tone.

Ming Ruyan chuckled, "Miss Qiao Yu, doesn't you know what the relationship between my prince and Miss Yu is?" ”

"As far as I know, the King of Youyou is not married."

Ming Ruyan smiled: "So what." ”

Qiao Yu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

She is still a girl's family, even if she is the holy daughter of the temple, but her face is thin, and she can't withstand such an outspoken hint as Ming Ruyan.

Are the two together before they get married?

Qiao Yu bit her lip lightly.

She couldn't believe that there was really a more suitable person in this world to be the Holy Maiden of the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy, especially the high priest who still respected her.

even let out the words, even if Yu Miaomiao was not a virgin, he didn't care, and ordered her to leave her behind.

Such a dirty body can compare to her.

She couldn't tell what it was like.

As a saint, she had never tasted jealousy.

I don't want to be able to experience it in her lifetime.

"My prince and Miss Yu have already rested, Miss Qiao Yu, please go back." Even if she knew that she was a saint, Ming Ruyan never treated her with respect.

Qiao Yu had to go back stupidly.

For three days in a row, in addition to praying in the main hall, Wei Jiuxiao had been staying in the wing room with Yu Miaomiao, and even the second prince Feng Leizhi was forced to come over every day to see the face of King Youyou.

Wei Jiuxiao was reading, Feng Leizhi and Yu Miaomiao could only stare at each other with big eyes.

By the morning of the fourth day, the two of them could no longer hold back.

The temple was bustling early in the morning, and the devotees went down the hill one after another.

"Wei Jiuxiao, let's go and see the excitement too." Yu Miaomiao wears more clothes than others, although she still often quarrels with the cold, but she is not as sad as she was at the beginning.

Wei Jiuxiao's eyes were fixed on the book, and he didn't raise his head.

Yu Miaomiao looked at Feng Leizhi expectantly.

Feng Lei was wise and courageous, "the king of ghosts"

"Shut up." Wei Jiuxiao spit out two words.

Feng Lei was immediately silent in fright.

Useless guy.

Yu Miaomiao was indignant in her heart.

is obviously a prince, but he is afraid that Wei Jiuxiao will be afraid of this.

In fact, if you think about it deeply, who is not afraid of the King of Ghost in Feng Kingdom, the Ghost Hand King is not a good type.

It's just that after being with him for a long time, Yu Miaomiao can see many unknown sides of Wei Jiuxiao, and gradually, she is no longer as afraid of him as she was at the beginning.

Yu Miaomiao's eyes rolled, moved to Wei Jiuxiao and sat down, wrapping his arm, "Wei Jiuxiao, I found that you have been handsome again recently." ”

Wei Jiuxiao was still reading and didn't move.

Yu Miao approached him with a shy face, "Look at this chin, this nose, this eyebrows, the more you look at it, the more handsome it becomes." ”

Wei Jiuxiao said quietly: "Except for handsome, is there nothing else?" He also gradually understood some of the words she used, handsome should mean the same as good-looking.

"Yes." Yu Miaomiao's eyes crooked with a smile, "The prince is strong and majestic. ”

The corners of Wei Jiuxiao's eyes twitched twice.

Why didn't he be happy with this description?

"There are sacrificial activities in the city below the mountain today, the holy girl Qiao Yu has gone down the mountain, and those believers, let's not go forward, let's watch the lively headline, right?"

Wei Jiuxiao put down the book and looked at her, "If you praise this king for something nice, this king will consider taking you to see the excitement." ”

Yu Miaomiao glanced at Feng Leizhi, who was sitting opposite, and said, "Lord Wang, it's not good for us to be in front of adolescent children." ”

Feng Leizhi was sitting on the side drinking tea, and when he heard this, he didn't freeze it, and the tea in his mouth was sprayed.

He didn't know what puberty was, but the other party actually said that he was a child.

"The main hall is already twelve!" He said indignantly.

Yu Miaomiao rolled her eyes, and Wei Jiuxiao ignored him.

"Then say something that the child doesn't understand."

Yu Miaomiao was silent.

I didn't expect you to be such a prince.

After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Our Wang Ye is both civil and military, with skillful subduing people, cross-legged horses and bows, and is rich and empathetic."

Feng Leizhi was confused.

Wei Jiuxiao reached out and covered her mouth.

He underestimated this woman too much.

At some point, she was wild like a wild horse, and even he couldn't control it.

"Why didn't you let me say it?" Yu Miaomiao blinked innocently.

Wei Jiuxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he instructed Ming Ruyan, "Take the Second Highness down to change clothes." ”

Yu Miaomiao and Feng Leizhi were stunned.

Wei Jiuxiao, did you promise to let them go out to watch the excitement?

Ming Ruyan accompanied Feng Leizhi to just go out, Wei Jiuxiao lost the book, and Yu Miao pulled it over and pressed it on the bed.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Yu Miaomiao exclaimed.

You know, this is a temple, how can he do such a thing?

Wei Jiuxiao's hoarse whisper came from his ears: "We'll talk about it later." ”

Yu Miaomiao couldn't help it and laughed out loud.

was full of interest and was waiting for a battle, but she was distracted by her laughter, Wei Jiuxiao got up and straightened her clothes.

"Hurry up, aren't you going to see the excitement?" Wei Jiuxiao deliberately kept a straight face, and the majesty of the King of Youyou was still the same.

"Are you going with you?" Yu Miaomiao asked.

"Of course, otherwise you may have to make trouble with the Second Highness."

Yu Miaomiao was speechless.

Feng Leizhi also changed his clothes at this time, and the three of them walked out of the wing, followed by Ming Ruyan and four guards.

However, Wei Jiuxiao did not go down the mountain, but came to a flat high platform outside the temple, and there was a pavilion in the middle of the high platform.

"We're just looking here." Wei Jiuxiao said leisurely.

Yu Miaomiao and Feng Leizhi were immediately deflated.

What, after talking for a long time, they still have to be in the mountains.

Wei Jiuxiao entered the pavilion and sat down.

Yu Miaomiao looked down along the cliff on one side.

To her surprise, the view here was quite good.

The view from the bottom of the mountain is clear.

In the city, the devotees of the temple are surrounding the holy Maiden Qiao Yu and are holding a sacrificial ceremony.

"After we go to the Phoenix Pagoda tomorrow, we can go back." Feng Leizhi looked at the crowd below the mountain and sighed.

"Don't you want to go back?" Yu Miaomiao felt that the second prince's tone was filled with loss.

Feng Leizhi smiled reluctantly, "I have to go back to the academy after I go back, and those things in the palace, my father doesn't like me, and I can't play with you every day, don't look at me as a prince, in fact, I'm not comfortable at all because Miao Miao, I envy you, and King Youyou can do what he wants to do and go where he wants to go."

The boy looked into the distance, his gaze hesitant.

Yu Miaomiao slapped Feng Leizhi's back violently, startling Feng Leizhi.

"It's not like you at all when you're so depressed." Yu Miaomiao winked at him, "When you grow up, you can be free, if the emperor gives you a fief, then you will be able to do what you want!" ”

At that time, if my sister is not good, I can still go to you to mess around.

But she could only think about this in her heart, Wei Jiuxiao was sitting not far away, and she didn't want him to hear it.

Although she believes in Wei Jiuxiao's affection for her now, people will change, she has seen too much, she doesn't dare to ask for anything, she just wants to pave the way for herself.

Even if one day Wei Jiuxiao marries a side room or a concubine or something in her mansion, she will have a place to go.

She just wants to live her life happily.

Yu Miaomiao and Feng Leizhi stood on the platform of the cliff and spoke.

At the foot of the mountain, the crowd of people participating in the sacrificial ceremony suddenly became chaotic.

"It's like it's going to water." Feng Leizhi was surprised.

Yu Miaomiao saw smoke billowing from the crowd.

To her surprise, the crowd didn't disperse.

"What happened?" Yu Miaomiao looked at the bottom of the mountain intently.

"It looks like there's someone in the crowd." Ming Ruyan interjected in the back.

Yu Miaomiao was taken aback.

**？ Is there anyone else playing this in this world?

As they spoke, smoke rose from several places in the crowd below the mountain.

Isn't it, so many people are looking for death and deliberately choosing this kind of sacrificial ceremony, do they want to protest something?

A lot of strange lists of organizations popped up in her head.

"It's a sacrifice." Ming Ruyan explained, "Those who are ** are bent on asking for death, and they think that they will be favored by the Vermilion Bird God after death."

Yu Miaomiao was secretly speechless.

These people are too stupid, right, the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy will favor these people who have been burned to the point of black charcoal?

The sacrificial rites are still going on.

The holy woman returned to the temple after a week of circumambulation around the city, and the bodies of the believers who had died in the city were also with her.

The corpses were carried on shelves covered with red flowers.

People have a smile on their faces, and it feels like they are carrying the bride to be married.

It wasn't until everyone had entered the temple that Wei Jiuxiao stood up.

They followed suit.

Wei Jiuxiao took Yu Miaomiao back to the wing.

After looking at those corpses, Yu Miaomiao was only disgusted by this mysterious sacrificial ritual, so she didn't even have the heart to follow the excitement.

Feng Leizhi went to his wing alone.

"Second Highness." A female believer stood on the side of the road and saluted him.

"What's the matter?" Feng Leizhi didn't know the woman, so the guards behind him all stared at each other vigilantly.

The female believer said respectfully: "The Great Priest invites His Royal Highness to come over." ”

Feng Leizhi was stunned.

The Great Priest was not an ordinary person, when they first came to the temple, he only said a few words to King Youyou, and only said hello to him, and did not officially say anything to himself at all.

It was really not easy to get him to invite him personally.

Thinking of this, Feng Leizhi couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Following the female believers to the main hall, someone on both sides pushed the door of the main hall open.

The dark hall exudes a faint fragrance.

For no reason, Feng Leizhi was a little nervous.

Every time he came here, he followed Wei Jiuxiao, and this was the first time he came out alone to see the big priest.

"Wait here." Feng Leizhi put on the prince's stand and ordered the guards behind him.

He entered the main hall alone, and the door closed behind him.

He stood in the darkness, and it took him a long time to get used to the light, and to see the high priest standing in front of the statue.

Feng Leizhi walked over and coughed lightly.

The High Priest slowly turned his head, his face hidden by the red hood looking particularly blurred.

Feng Leizhi only glanced at it and looked away.

"It seems that His Royal Highness is not doing well in the palace." The Great Priest said lightly.

Feng Leizhi raised his chin arrogantly, "This hall doesn't feel anything unsatisfactory. "As a prince, he must maintain the most basic glory before men.

This is something he has known since he was a child.

The Great Priest was not in a hurry, "If His Royal Highness can get the favor of the Suzaku Divine Envoy, he will definitely get his wish." ”

Feng Leizhi was stunned.

"You, what do you mean by that?"

Can he get his wish, does the High Priest really know what he wants?

"Yes, I know what you want." The corners of the High Priest's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a stiff smile, "As long as Your Highness is willing, I can help you." ”

"Really?"

The High Priest nodded, "As long as you offer sacrifices to the Suzaku Divine Envoy at the Feng Pagoda tomorrow, you will definitely be able to get the favor of the Divine Envoy." ”

"What kind of sacrifice is it?" When it comes to sacrifices, Feng Leizhi's first thought is the believers who died when they saw the ** under the mountain today.

He wouldn't do that stupid thing to burn himself to death.

"Your Royal Highness, as a member of the royal family, has a noble bloodline, and if you sacrifice in person, you will definitely be able to get your wish." The High Priest slowly leaned over to him as he spoke.

Feng Leizhi only felt a chill behind him, inexplicable fear.

What does the other party mean by that? Does he want to kill even the royal family as a sacrifice?

"Stop!" Feng Leizhi shouted at him, and at the same time took a few steps back.

He really didn't want to stand so close to the other party.

The High Priest really stopped, he slowly raised his hand and pulled the red hood covering his head, "It seems that His Royal Highness still has doubts about me, so I might as well let you see it more clearly, and save His Royal Highness from doubts." ”

As the red hood was removed by him, the face of the high priest was revealed.

Feng Leizhi's mouth opened wide, because of extreme fear, he couldn't make any sound.

What kind of face is that, even if you have a nightmare, you can't dream of such a strange scene.

The lower part of the high priest's face was normal, but from the nose up, it was a complete skeleton, he had no hair, and only two dark black fires were burning in his hollow eye sockets.

At this moment, two black flames suddenly shot out two rays of light, hitting Feng Leizhi's eyes.

Feng Leizhi let out a miserable scream.

The cry echoed through the hall for a long time.

"Your Highness?"

"Second Highness, what happened?"

The guards outside the door heard the movement in the hall and wanted to rush into the hall to check what was going on.

However, the believers guarding the doors of the temple did not allow them to enter.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, the temple door opened.

The second prince, Feng Leizhi, stepped out of the hall.

"Second Highness, are you alright?" The guards hurried to catch up. "What can happen to this temple?" Feng Leizhi snorted arrogantly.

"The scream," the guards were still uneasy.

"You heard me wrong." Feng Leizhi said lightly, "The Great Sacrifice is still inside, don't disturb him here." ”

With that, he turned and walked away.

The guards had to follow.

The door of the main hall was closed again.

In front of the gloomy statue, the high priest sat cross-legged on a futon, with his hood still on his head, and he sat motionless, like a stone statue, without even breathing (83 Chinese net) cat pounce Chinese
