Chapter 5: Escape to the Yuanzhen Palace (Ask for Collection)

*

Seeing that the sharp blade reflecting the cold light was about to slash at him, Zuo Ying suddenly found that the big knife suddenly lost its original momentum and fell freely, and the clothes that were cut by the blade were torn, and the skin inside was hot.

She immediately looked up, only to see the murderer who had just pounced on her with a painful expression covering his stomach that kept spurting blood, spitting blood from his mouth, and staggering to the ground.

A person stepped on his corpse and squatted down in front of Zuo Ying with an arrow step. The man was dressed in a white dress and a white dress, with long black hair and delicate facial features, which seemed to be able to heal people's pain.

"Yu'er!" Zuo Ying could barely believe her eyes.

"Your Majesty! Is Your Majesty injured? Scarlet Feather looked at Zuo Ying's eyes were both anxious and excited, and her red eyes seemed to be brewing tears at any time because of this contradiction. She put down the long sword in her hand, supported Zuo Ying's back with one hand, and helped her up by the shoulder with the other, without noticing that someone behind her was swinging a big knife and slashing at her back!

Fortunately, Zuo Ying had already picked up the silver fire just now, her eyes flashed, the trigger was pulled, and the terrifying gunfire pierced the eardrums. When Scarlet Feather turned around, the murderer's head had blossomed and he fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Scarlet Feather looked at Zuo Ying in astonishment.

"Let's go!" Zuo Ying reached out and grabbed Scarlet Feather's neck and quickly got up from the ground. Scarlet Feather also realized that the two were in danger, and hurriedly picked up the long sword, hugged Zuo Ying and rushed out of the tent.

They had just run out of the tent only a few steps before there was a loud "boom" behind them, and the entire tent collapsed to the ground, and everything in the tent was engulfed in flames.

Zuo Ying looked around and saw that all the tents around were already on fire, as if a wall of fire was blocking the front, making people feel as if they were really in the boundless sea of fire. From time to time, there was a cacophony of people shouting for their lives. Scarlet Feather couldn't help but be surprised at how quickly the fire had developed, much more serious than when she had just barged in to look for Zuo Ying.

At this time, Zuo Ying saw a group of guards from a distance interspersed between the tents with little fire, walking in their direction with big knives in their hands, and when they saw her, they greeted each other and quickened their pace.

Can a big knife also put out fires in these days? Indeed—if the fire would only be extinguished when Zuo Ying died.

"Yu'er! Fast! Get out of here and find a place to hide! ”

After seeing Zuo Ying almost stabbed to death by the guards just now, she didn't need to explain why Scarlet Feather knew why she did this, she hurriedly took Zuo Ying's hand and ran to the road in front of her where the fire was slightly smaller.

The road ahead was lined with crackling tents, so hot that you could barely open your eyes, the space left between the fangs and claws of the flames was only for one person to pass through, and there were some pillars of fire and fires on the road from time to time, and the slightest carelessness could be burned.

Scarlet Feather clears the way in front of her, using her long sword to clear the obstacles in front of her along the way, allowing the two of them to pass. When encountering a particularly narrow place, he also hugged Zuo Ying's head and body, and used his body to protect her and break through.

When Zuo Ying felt that she was about to be completely dried by the fire, the two finally left the tent area and came to an open place, panting, and the sea of fire behind them illuminated a canopy of fire, which made people still feel shocked when they looked back.

Although Zuo Ying felt that her body was on the verge of collapse and fainting, she still didn't dare to stay, and let Scarlet Feather take her hand and run to a palace in front of her that was far away from the fire.

But she didn't run a few steps, her legs suddenly weakened, her eyes were dark, and her body fell forward uncontrollably.

Scarlet Feather glanced at the torches on the edge of the fire in the distance and the cold light flashing on the hands of the person holding the torches, bent down and said to Zuo Ying, "Your Majesty, Scarlet Feather is rude" and picked Zuo Ying up, and ran towards the palace in front of him quickly.

Zuo Ying leaned on Scarlet Feather's arms, although she was already a little confused, but she couldn't help but be surprised that Scarlet Feather, who looked slender and weak, was so decisive and brave, and she still had such strength when her physical exertion was so serious before.

She raised her head and saw that Scarlet Feather's face, which was as white as clotted fat and as thin as porcelain, was now stained with sweat and charcoal ash, and there was no trace of her usual meticulous appearance in her scattered hair, and there was no such pleasant tranquility in her eyes as she usually did like autumn water, but she suddenly felt that Scarlet Feather at this time seemed to be more beautiful than at any other time, and she was even more reluctant to look away.

Zuo Ying's heart even surged with a long-lost warmth. She knew that this feeling was called "moving", the kind of feeling she had warned Scarlet Feather not to take lightly. She has always practiced as she admonished others, so that in her previous life, until the moment she left that world, she never told her brothers who were born and died with her about this feeling that secretly surged from the bottom of her heart several times.

As soon as Zuo Ying's thoughts settled down, he felt that his eyes suddenly darkened, and the starry sky above his head had become a caisson on the dome of the main hall.

The hall was lit with lights, but there was not a single figure. Zuo Ying looked around, only to see that this palace was octagonal, covering a very wide area, twenty-four huge pillars surrounded a circle, and on the offering table on the high platform in the central hall, there were all tablets of the gods. She knew that this was the Yuanzhen Hall dedicated to the gods of all walks of life. The Yuanzhen Hall has a total of two floors, the ground floor is dedicated to the tablets of the gods, and the upper floor is dedicated to the tablets of the Emperor of Heaven.

"Put me down, I can go." After resting for a while, Zuo Ying felt that her spirit had eased slightly, and if she still let Scarlet Feather hold it, it would be really inconvenient to move.

Scarlet Feather didn't dare to be disobedient, although she seemed a little reluctant, she still put Zuo Ying down, "Scarlet Feather should be damned...... But Your Majesty ......"

"Don't worry about me. Let's ...... first" Zuo Ying just wanted to say that we should find a place to rest first, and suddenly felt that the side of her clothes seemed to be a little wet and hot. She looked down and saw that there was a bright red blood stain on her pale yellow pajamas! She knew very well that she was not injured, and when she suddenly realized something, she looked up at Scarlet Feather, only to notice that her lips were pale, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was covering her waist with her sleeves, intentionally or unintentionally.

"You're hurt?" Zuo Ying stretched out her hand to pull away Scarlet Feather's hands, and sure enough, she saw that the clothes around her waist had been soaked in blood, and it seemed that she was hurt a lot! Recalling that she not only protected herself just now and walked so far to break out of the fire, but also ran one or two hundred meters with herself, it was incredible!
