Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Fate of the Golden Butterfly
At noon, it was a shade on the altar, this ceremony was more solemn than the previous wedding, the whole ground was covered with red carpets, and at this moment bathing and changing clothes, dressed in white plain clothes, the two princesses were kneeling in front of the sacred tree.
Zi Xin looked sluggish, and she didn't seem to be interested in the result at all, but on the contrary, Zi Mo was a little uneasy, and her eyes always drifted to the queen on the side, which caused King Danqiong to be a little dissatisfied.
The saint held a tray in her hand, and she didn't know what was on it, and it was covered with a large black silk, so that she couldn't see what it was.
The saint is also dressed in plain clothes, without powder, but her face is excellent, and her hands holding things are also very calm.
There are piles of people watching in the audience, some are the original residents of Danqiong, some are people who are not good at it like Mingxue, and some people are purely here to watch.
Danqiong's guards are very weak, few people will be soldiers, most of them are hunters, and the reason why it has been able to exist over the years is probably because of its strange and complex terrain, and the obstacles of various forest miasma.
Liufeng itself can't look down on it, plus it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is also comforted to exist in the world, but the Holy Maiden Inheritance Conference is a big event in less than fifteen years, because the life and death Gu is a treasure, there are many people in the world who covet it, although they know that this thing must be stored in the body of a girl to survive, but there are still many people who want to get it.
Ming Xue and Zitong hid in the vast crowd, both of them were wearing hats, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, and they were followed by the Holy Elder, who was watching the excitement.
The scene in the Mingxue stands was very cold, her eyes were staring straight at the saint, just waiting for the life and death Gu to come out and find the opportunity to grab it directly, she was different from the saint, she liked to shoot directly and simply, with her spiritual cultivation with few opponents, she could go sideways, and no one cared about her, but this was undoubtedly a loss.
Zitong looked at this scene, a little touching, if there were not so many accidents, she should be on the stage at this time!
"Little apprentice, do you regret it?" The Holy Elder thought that Zitong was staring at the Holy Altar so scorchingly because he was unwilling to lose the opportunity to compete for the Holy Maiden.
Who knew that Zitong shook his head and said, "Follow Miss, I don't regret it!" Her eyes were firm, maybe she used to think that it was a good time to succeed the saint, but after this, she suddenly felt disgusted and disgusted with power. But her sister had to follow in her footsteps, and if the saint's plan succeeded, her sister would never be free again. She is such a lively and laughing girl, she is such an innocent and kind woman......
She suddenly remembered what Zixin had said to her: "Sister, you have worked so hard for me in the past ten years, and I will replace you in the future." ”
The girl whose words are so sad and so pitiful, thinking of that scene, it seems that the woman in front of her should be forgiven no matter what she does.
"Xin'er, my sister forgives you, let's be your saint in the future, my sister is leaving!" She just silently meditated in her heart. It's just that at that moment, Zixin suddenly turned around, and countless brilliance flashed in her originally empty eyes, as if she was looking for something in the crowd, and finally didn't see the person she imagined, and the brilliance in her eyes instantly dimmed, like fireworks passing away, gorgeous and sad.
"Xin'er~" The saint reminded unhappily.
Soon it will be time for the Xuanjin Phoenix Butterfly to choose a holy woman, and the candidates must pray sincerely to show their respect for the gods.
The saint waved her sleeves and removed the black cloth, and in the transparent glass jar, a gorgeous butterfly was spreading its wings and about to fly, the golden wings were shining in the sun, and the splendor blooming on the Jinluan Treasure Hall was in a trance, and the gold dust was bright and extinguished, elegant and beautiful.
"Beauty is beautiful, but it's just a canary in a cage, and it's hard to come out once in more than ten years." Mingxue sighed, and mocked, isn't it a ridiculous joke to leave the future of a country to a beautiful butterfly?
Zitong stayed aside, not daring to argue, she had been reborn, she was no longer the princess Zitong, and everything about Danqiong had nothing to do with her.
The saint slowly lifted the lid, her movements were cautious, as if she was as pious as a god, and for a while all eyes were focused on the golden butterfly, the huge golden wings flapped elegantly, after more than ten years of imprisonment, it finally flew up slowly, with a suffocating beauty, it is said that this is also a divine object, a divine object handed down from ancient times, with immortal power.
The more the butterfly flies, the more skillful it becomes, the faster it flies, the more beautiful it flies, hovering over Zixin and Zimo, but it hasn't landed for a long time, and all the eyes on the scene seem to be focused on the beautiful butterfly without flashing.
Some eyes burned, some disagreed, and some prayed religiously. And those who want the butterfly to do something are infinitely nervous, as if their hearts are attached to a butterfly, floating up and down with the flapping of its wings.
"Kingdee, I've been raising you for many years, it's time to repay the favor!" The saint thought to herself, looking at Jindee with infinite anticipation in her eyes.
Finally, the gorgeous butterfly slowly fell, and in the low sky, it was still hovering in Zitong and Zimo, and it did not disperse for a long time.
With a movement of her fingers, the Holy Maiden seemed to pop out some powder quickly, but it was too fast to see clearly.
As if sensing something, Kingdee slowly flew towards Zixin.
The corners of the saint's mouth kept a smile, everything seemed to be determined to win, but the queen had a bitter face, and the second elder's eyes were vicious, looking at Jindee as if he was about to eat it.
Suddenly, there was a smoky wind, as if some floral fragrance was spreading, and Ming Xue frowned a little unpleasantly, this smell made people very uneasy.
Sure enough, the golden dee that was about to fall on Zixin suddenly startled, as if she had encountered something terrifying, and flew very panicked, and all the elegance was gone.
A smile appeared on the second elder's lips, although she had no way to let the golden dee fall on Zimo, she had a way to scare it away.
The saint was shocked and angry, knowing that it must be the ghost of the second elder, but now it is not easy to attack.
Due to Kingdee's uneasiness, the scene also became chaotic, and everyone was whispering for a while.
"What the hell happened to Kingdee? Could it be that the two princesses are not to its liking? ”
"It is very likely, it is said that the eldest princess was appointed as the heir before, the eldest princess is good and capable, naturally better than the rude and willful fifth princess, and the cowardly and incompetent third princess, I don't know what the reason is, the elder house actually directly excluded the eldest princess!"
"Haven't you heard that the eldest princess is married to a man of different races?" Everyone looked stunned.
A few days ago, a grand wedding is still vivid, but the bride, Princess Zixin, participated in the selection of the heiress of the saint safely.
Everyone's eyes widened, and a royal secret seemed to take shape in their hearts.
Zitong listened to the increasingly fierce discussion in the crowd, her fists clenched deeply, but in the next second, Ming Xue held her hand and gave her a look not to act rashly, and she could only put away her hateful expression. The Holy Elder of the Danqiong Kingdom didn't seem to care about this result at all, and generally just cared about watching the show, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. Ming Xue didn't care, at least the Holy Elder wouldn't be an enemy of them.
There was also a black figure in the crowd that was particularly conspicuous, and Li Ember was still wearing the half of the silver mask, looking unscrupulous. He was followed by Zhong Xinyue, and there was another man. When Ming Xue saw him, her heart was shocked, and she immediately calmed down again. got the Life and Death Gu, and then relieved him of the evil qi of Jiuyue, and she would have nothing to do with him again!
The breath slowly dissipated, and the Kingdee began to dance again. But this time, Kingdee no longer dared to approach the two people on the altar. It flew over the crowd, scattering bursts of gold dust, and it was beautiful.
Suddenly, Kingdee descended, and the eyes of the crowd looked at it nervously, fearing that they would miss something.
Finally, the golden butterfly slowly landed on a certain white hat. The three people who were originally inconspicuous in the crowd suddenly became the focus, and countless eyes rushed over, making Ming Xue impatient for a while.
Damn the Kingdee, it's not good where it falls, it's going to fall on my head. For a while, Ming Xue actually wanted to urge the aura and solve the culprit, but after thinking about it, after all, everyone was watching, and if she made a rash move, I was afraid that she would become the target of everyone.
Zixin suddenly became excited.
"Sister, it must be my sister...... "It must be my sister who came to see her, she wanted to rush over through the thousands of people, hugging Zitong and crying.
Zitong felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't say a word.
Fortunately, Zixin was pulled by people and didn't really rush over.
The saint was furious for a moment, and she could see that the woman under the hat was the woman who took Zitong with her that day. She later went to find out her background, but only found that she had stopped at the city gate a few days ago, but was prevented from entering the dungeon because she was blocked by soldiers, and there was no other information.
A mysterious woman with high spiritual power can make Kingdee fall on her, which has to be said to be very fearful. A pair of beautiful eyes narrowed, and a cold knife shot at Mingxue.
Li Shen looked at this scene, and unconsciously became worried, and instinctively wanted to go over to relieve the siege, but was stopped by Zhong Xinyue.
Hmph, it's just a butterfly, as for all the fuss.
The breeze blew up the corner of the white veil, and vaguely saw the peerless face under the white veil, and the crowd gasped, as if they were attracted by the corner of the shock, but the golden phoenix butterfly never moved anymore, as if it was tired of flying, and stopped motionless on the white hat, like a peerless golden headdress.
