Chapter 225: Queen Sleeping Beauty
Yun Yao's figure had disappeared from view, Chai Fengyin walked through a long narrow passage, only to feel the cold air in front of him, and suddenly there was a dungeon carved in front of him.
Although it is an underground palace, the magnificent momentum that comes to the face is not inferior to the imperial palace on the ground. In front of the majestic palace gate, there are nine icicles that support the eaves of the corridor, the icicles are embossed with cockroaches and nine dragons, the most is that the double dragon eyes are lifelike, take a closer look, it is actually inlaid with beast crystals, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice...... And so on.
Chai Fengyin's gaze lingered on this ingenious artwork for a few seconds, and then he kept stepping on the eaves of the corridor, and when he was about to enter the temple gate, he saw the palace door that was close at hand suddenly retreated.
The door is a dead thing, how can it automatically retreat?
Chai Fengyin noticed that something was wrong, and immediately looked back, and saw that the scene behind her remained unchanged, and she still maintained the posture of stepping into the eaves of the porch. It's just that the eaves of the corridor seem to have a universe inside, and suddenly become as wide as a square, and the nine carved dragon icicles that had just amazed her trapped her inside.
Before Chai Fengyin could figure out what was going on, he suddenly saw a golden light, and the killing wind blew the broken hair on his forehead and rushed to the back of his head, and in the blink of an eye, the golden light was close in front of him, but there was a dense sword rain, and between the gaps in the sword array, he was in a trance with a pair of majestic golden dragon eyes.
Idly dodging a round of sword rain, Chai Fengyin thought that he was afraid that he had stepped into the gate-guarding formation of this underground palace, but he didn't know if this was what Emperor Beiyao meant, or if Yun Yao was angry and made his own opinion.
Another round of more dense sword formations attacked, and Chai Fengyin didn't have the heart to think about anything else, so he had to pass this level first. Having made up her mind, she shuttled through the sword formation, moving flexibly while carefully thinking about how to crack it. The earlier formation books were not read in vain, but now they are used in practice, although it takes a lot of effort to understand them, in the end, Chai Fengyin is extremely talented, and he is not really stumped. So he wore the sword array, walked through the labyrinthic forest, waded through the sea of fire, ate wind and sand, drank ice and snow, and passed through thunder and lightning......
It wasn't until Chai Fengyin couldn't help but sit down to absorb the thunder element between heaven and earth, the scene in front of him suddenly changed again, everything just now was like a dream, there was no wide square, and there were no more colorful dragon eyes staring at Chai Fengyin...... It's just that a woman wearing a black striped wide-sleeved robe on a white background walked out of the door of the main hall, with picturesque eyebrows and an ethereal temperament, a pair of bright eyes that are soft and clear, but looking at Chai Fengyin's gaze seems to be entangled with thousands of knots, and it is a little gloomy and lonely in the complexity.
"Bu Xing'er, the one hundred and ninety-fourth generation witch of the Wu clan, has seen a spirit girl." Bu Xing'er respectfully bowed to Chai Fengyin, with his palms folded and his palms facing outwards on the center of his eyebrows, and he kowtowed in a deep voice.
This set of actions is a little familiar, and listening to her words just now, Chai Fengyin suddenly remembered Mrs. Xing, this Bu Xing'er's clothes, words and deeds, isn't it like a scene reappearance when Mrs. Xing met her for the first time! Only one is the one hundred and ninety-fourth generation of the priest maiden, and the other is the one hundred and ninety-fourth generation of the shrine maiden, so there is a slight difference.
Chai Fengyin saw her kneeling on the ground and not moving, as if waiting for her instructions, so she said, "Get up quickly." ”
Seeing that she got up obediently, Chai Fengyin said helplessly: "Even if I am really a spirit girl, you don't need to give me such a big gift." ”
Bu Xing'er, who had just gotten up, was a little dazed when she heard this, and looked at Chai Fengyin's gaze for a moment, before she lowered her eyes and replied respectfully: "The spirit girl is the goddess of heaven and earth, and Xing'er doesn't dare to be disrespectful." ”
Seeing Chai Fengyin's puzzled gaze, Bu Xing'er explained simply: "Since childhood, the priest has taken us to worship the statue of the spirit girl......
Chai Fengyin couldn't help but have black lines on his head, worship? Idol? Ahh
Chai Fengyin grinded his teeth secretly, "Where are your priests?" "I promise not to kill him or her
Bu Xing'er seemed to be amused by Chai Fengyin's appearance and chuckled, her beautiful smile was only a flash in the pan, and then she turned around a little sadly, "The priest is no longer here." ”
Chai Fengyin followed her into the hall, restrained her expression and said softly, "I'm sorry." ”
Bu Xing'er turned around, let himself walk half a step in front of Chai Fengyin to guide the way, hooked the corners of his lower lip shallowly, shook his head and said: "Although the priest is gone, his spirit will always guard our witch clan and guide us to find the spirit girl." ”
Chai Fengyin smiled, she didn't understand the beliefs and culture of the Wu clan, so it was better not to speak easily, so as not to cause any taboos and not know it.
"Is the formation at the door just now the meaning of Emperor Beiyao?"
Seeing that Bu Xing'er looked helpless when she heard her question, her knees bent and seemed to kneel down again, Chai Fengyin immediately reached out to support her arm to stop her, and said clearly: "Yun Yao did it, right?" ”
"The Spirit Maiden forgives sins. Although this matter is Yun Yao's head, it is also my intention not to stop it, and Yun Yao has always been taught by me. This is all my fault, and I ask the spirit girl to punish me alone. ”
Chai Fengyin was a little surprised, such an arrogant and even a little ruthless Yun Yao would be taught by this gentle and kind person in front of him. Not to mention punishment or punishment, Chai Fengyin asked with some doubts: "Why did you let me be trapped in the formation?" ”
Bu Xing'er bit her lower lip, didn't dare to hide it, and said, "Xing'er dares to test the spirit girl, please punish the spirit girl." ”
It turned out that she was using that formation to test her identity as a spirit girl, Chai Fengyin smiled indifferently, no longer asked questions and ignored Bu Xing'er's punishment, and only quietly followed her to see Emperor Beiyao.
Bu Xing'er looked at Chai Fengyin, who was cold, and knew that it was because of his own temptation, so he glanced at Chai Fengyin several times uneasily, but he didn't get a single eye response. She grew up worshipping the statue of the goddess of the gods, and she was undoubtedly the most devout believer in the spirit girl who came out of the statue.
Led Chai Fengyin to the door of the inner hall curtain of an ice carved side hall, Bu Xing'er said in a low voice: "...... Emperor Beiyao was waiting for the spirit girl inside. ”
Chai Fengyin ignored the apology on her face, let out a fluttering "um", and went in with the curtain, leaving Bu Xing'er alone to wander outside for a while, and left with shame.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a white figure standing behind the long case and walking with a pen, Chai Fengyin stood two meters away in front of the long case, and after waiting for a while, he still didn't see the person raise his head, and he didn't want to play anything to brake quietly, so he just said not high or low: "Chai Fengyin has seen Emperor Beiyao." ”
Emperor Beiyao kept holding the pen in his hand, only as if he finally raised his eyes when the painting was completed, glanced at Chai Fengyin and looked down at his work, but finally opened his mouth.
"You are the spirit girl found by the prince?"
"I don't know if it's a legendary spirit girl, but some people say so."
After listening to Chai Fengyin's answer, Emperor Beiyao finally took his mind away from the painting for the time being, "Since you yourself are not sure that you are a spirit girl, then why did you make this trip?" ”
"Today, it wasn't the prince who asked you to come." Emperor Beiyao said firmly.
Chai Fengyin nodded, thinking of Beichenbi, lowered his eyes and smiled slowly, couldn't help but roll his eyes around and secretly search, and finally stopped his eyes on a big bed that was bubbling with cold air. It is said that it is a bed, but it is better to say that it is a high platform, and on the round platform almost two meters high, there is a beautiful woman who is sleeping soundly, which should be the sleeping Queen Beiyao. The round platform is surrounded by a guardrail carved with dragons and phoenixes, and under the guardrail there are nine layers of steps, and on the round platform hangs a circle of nine stones that shimmer with colorful light.
"What kind of formation is this?" After looking at it for a while, Chai Fengyin only saw that this was a mysterious formation laid by a certain master, but none of it could match any of the formations she had seen in the ancient books of the formation in Yan Couple's Ruins, and she could only vaguely see that this formation had a gravitational force, which could gather the aura of all attributes between heaven and earth, including rare attributes such as wind, ice, and thunder.
"Is it this formation that continues the life of the queen mother?"
"You can actually see the mystery of this formation...... Emperor Beiyao was a little surprised, and only at this moment did he really face up to Chai Fengyin, and hurriedly walked out from behind the long case, his steps were a little eager, "Do you really have a way to save the queen?" ”
Emperor Beiyao's gaze was undoubtedly hopeful and longing. But Chai Fengyin could also imagine that he must have experienced countless cycles of hope and disillusionment, and she naturally couldn't give him this hope without any certainty, so she cautiously said: "I'm not sure to wake up the queen mother, although I can see one or two of that formation, just because I have read a few ancient books of formation." If I were to set up a formation, I would not have the ability to lay out such a mysterious formation. ”
"However, I still want to ask the emperor to allow me to go and see the queen mother, if there is anything I can, I will do my best."
Emperor Beiyao knew that Chai Fengyin was the spirit girl canonized by Emperor Dongyan's holy decree, and he was already suspicious of her identity as a spirit girl, and he had no hope. However, seeing that she could see the mystery of that formation, she thought a little higher of her, and saw that she was earnest, so she agreed to give her a try, and only solemnly advised: "Don't touch the nine spirit stones on the high platform!" ”
Chai Fengyin knew that the nine spirit stones were the eyes of the array, so naturally they would not move, so they also responded solemnly.
Ascending to the high platform, Chai Fengyin looked at Sleeping Beauty and asked Tianshu to help investigate the reason why Sleeping Beauty was sleeping.
"Master, her body has been seriously eroded by demonic energy, if it weren't for the aura in this formation to protect her for a glimmer of life, she would have died as early as when the demon fetus was born."
"Demon Fetus...... You mean Beichenbi? ”
"To be precise, it should be the Demon Venerable!"
After listening to the words of the Book of Heaven, Chai Fengyin suddenly felt that there was a problem that he had been ignoring, but this was not the time to be entangled, so he simply asked, "Is there any way to save Queen Beiyao?" ”
"This ...... Master, you know, I haven't found all the missing pages, maybe when I do, there will be a way to ......."
