Yuan Quanquan didn't know what he had done wrong, so he took back the big white fangs, turned his head and asked Shen Xiu: "Beitang, doesn't the little princess like me?" ”

Meditation glanced at him lightly, and looked back at his princess: "Uh-huh." ”

The heart of the Yuan circle is stuffed.

Did she mess with the little princess somewhere? Doesn't look like it...... So why doesn't she like her?

Thinking about this problem very distressedly, the Yuan Quanquan was a little depressed, and even the enthusiasm for watching the performance cooled down.

Until she saw a red shadow in the distance, looming behind the coiling dragon pillar above the steps.

Concubine Chen?

Since the first time I saw the favorite concubine of the former emperor in the Dawn Palace, and later helped her retrieve the peace charm from Master Fayi and gave it to the little prince, Yuan Circle entered the palace several times to see Concubine Qing, but I didn't see her again. She thought that because her wish had been fulfilled, she went to the underworld to be reincarnated.

It turned out that it didn't.

She is still in the palace.

From a distance, I watched Concubine Chen stand behind the thick pillar where the few people hugged her, her eyes passed through the crowd, and inadvertently, her eyes met unexpectedly.

Concubine Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled at her, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of the Yuan Circle.

"Qingyang, long time no see."

Seeing ghosts in the Yuan circle is as common as seeing people now, so naturally she will not be frightened by Concubine Chen, but her sudden appearance in front of her eyes in broad daylight still made her stunned for a moment, and she regained her expression in a moment.

There are still concubines and Xiao Zhixiang'er around, and the Yuan Circle can't answer out loud, so they can only blink instead.

Blink: Concubine Chen, long time no see.

Concubine Chen also knew what she meant, and smiled gently, as if the elders were comforting the juniors: "How are you doing recently?" ”

Yuan Quanquan blinked again: Uh-huh, I'm fine. What about you, Concubine Chen?

Concubine Chen is a ghost, and her face is pale, but I don't know if it is the subjective consciousness of the Yuan Quanquan or the joy in this palace that has infected her, the Yuan Quanquan actually feels that the other party's face seems to be flushed.

"I'm fine too. I can see the emperor and my little grandson every day, and seeing them happy is my greatest happiness now. ”

This time, the Yuan circle circled back a faintly visible smile.

The meditation cultivator next to him noticed it from the appearance of Concubine Chen, and she came to the Yuan circle to talk to her, he only sent a little eye wind without a trace at the beginning, and then he kept sitting and drinking and pretending not to know anything, playing the original master Beitang Xiu.

Concubine Chen saw the meditation cultivation, for some reason, she felt a sense of awe in her heart for no reason, it stands to reason that he is her junior, she shouldn't have this feeling. And when she saw him before, she wouldn't have done so.

Puzzled, Concubine Chen couldn't help but look at the meditation cultivation twice, and finally said "See you later" to the Yuan Circle, and before disappearing, she glanced at Concubine Liu and Yuan Xiaobao who were sitting on another table next to the Yuan Circle, with a slight envy in her eyes.

Concubine Chen's Yuan Circle didn't tell the cultivator, but looking at his reaction just now, he didn't seem to care at all, and he didn't ask after Concubine Chen left, just like he didn't see anything and didn't know anything just now.

After all, Yuan Quanquan has lived with him for more than half a year, and his temper towards his own man is almost the same.

This skeleton ghost has always been indifferent to things that have nothing to do with him, but it doesn't bother him, and he can be completely unaware. At this point, the Yuan Circle is quite satisfied.

Concubine Chen's matter was just a small episode, and after this episode, the exorcism ceremony was about to begin.

The emperor and the queen arrived belatedly, and after receiving the worship of 10,000 people, they sat down on the dragon chair on the high steps, and the queen sat beside her.

In ancient times, people thought feudalism, and most people still believed in ghosts and gods. On the day of the New Year, some people will also set up a small long table, burn incense and recite a scripture to exorcise evil spirits, hang a bell at home, and put wormwood or calamus at the door and other small methods, so as to drive away evil things and prevent them from entering the house.

And this exorcism ritual carried out in the palace is much more tedious.

After the emperor came, everyone returned to their seats after paying homage and waited for the exorcism ceremony to begin.

On the way here, Yuan Quanquan quietly asked the concubine, and learned that although the steps of this ceremony were cumbersome, the time would not be long, and it would be over in less than an hour.

Because in the past, the Yuan Circle would also use some bluffing methods and engage in some small ceremonies to deceive people, and she is also a peer in this area, so she is quite interested in it, and she is quite serious.

The first step in the ritual is the beating of the drums. The cowhide drum with a red drum body on one side of the big stone platform is struck by a drummer with an unknown symbol painted on his face, and the drum makes a dull "dong". Then the second, third, and last tones.

The dull and thick sound of drums spread throughout the square, and circled and fainted into everyone's ears.

After the drums were beating, from the west side of the square, the wizards wearing ghost masks and dressed like the indigenous people of Africa jumped in "ha-ha-hey-" and jumped all the way to the large stone platform in the center of the square.

Among these ghost-faced people, there is a leader who wears a different mask than them. The others are blue-faced fangs, but this person's mask is red, looking at that image, it seems to be a bit like Guan Erye - Guan Erye without a beard.

This group of "sorcerers" of the "group of demons dancing" each has a bell tied to their feet, and the bell bell has been playing music in the "jingle bell" all the time, but it will not seem noisy, they form a circle, practicing the bronze tripod in the middle of the stone platform to twist their bodies, and occasionally let out bursts of low roars in their mouths, but what they shout specifically, the Yuan circle circle can't hear clearly.

I think this dance is quite interesting, and the Yuan Circle is focused.

She saw the man in the red mask holding an unlit torch in his hand, slowly walking towards the bronze tripod in the middle, drawing a fire from the big tripod and lighting the torch.

He raised his head to the sky with his torch in his hand and looked up at the sky for a moment, while the eyes under the mask closed behind him and stood there motionless.

Yuan Quanquan guessed that he might be reciting something, just like ordinary people reciting scriptures, the essence is the same.

She didn't care, and threw peanuts into her mouth while enjoying the performance.

And just when the red mask was chanting words to the void, Yuan Quanquan's hand that was picking up the teacup to drink water slammed suddenly, and then as if he had lost his strength all of a sudden, his five fingers suddenly loosened, and he almost fell into the cup in his hand.

Meditation Xiu sat next to her, and immediately noticed that something was wrong with her, his face changed slightly, his hand held her waist, took the small white jade teacup in her hand and asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

Yuan Quanquan himself also looked confused and didn't know what was going on, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at his right hand, "Uh, it's okay, I just didn't take it well." ”

With that, he took back the small teacup from the meditation cultivator's hand, poured himself a cup of tea, and raised his head to drink it.

Meditation's expression was slightly puzzled, his gaze still stayed on her right hand, he pondered for a moment, and said, "If you are not feeling well, tell this king." ”

Yuan Quanquan shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that the god didn't hold the cup steadily, so there's no need to make such a fuss." ”

But just after she said this, she felt dizzy again, not like ordinary dizziness, but as if someone was pulling her soul with her hand, as if she wanted her soul to be separated.

I was so dizzy that I couldn't support it all of a sudden, and I shook it lightly from side to side, and then I went straight into the arms of the meditation cultivator.

Shen Xiu hugged her, his expression was rare and surprised, "Xiaoquan'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yuan Quanquan really felt it this time, there was a force that seemed to be pulling her consciousness, as if she was going to pull her soul out of this body, and a pain that hit the soul instantly spread all over her body, tearing her expression a little hideous.

As if she had suddenly thought of something, she jerked up her eyes to the red-masked man on the large stone platform in the center.

It's him! It was that person who did what made her like this!

Exorcism rituals, exorcisms, mages......

Those who drive away evil spirits are demons and monsters.

Her Yuan Circle was originally a wisp of ghost from another world, and she borrowed Lu Qingyang's body to continue to survive in this world, and in real terms, she was actually within the scope of exorcism.

Originally, I thought that this exorcism team was nothing more than some dancing gods and performers, similar to the existence of the troupe, just a ritual dance and express the meaning. But I didn't expect that this exorcism team actually has real skills, and it can really exorcise evil spirits!

Yuan Quanquan's head was dizzily leaning on the arms of the meditation cultivator, his head was splitting, his consciousness slowly dissipated, and he felt as if he was slowly detaching himself from this body.

Meditation immediately noticed that something was wrong, and almost at the same time, he also thought that it was because of the group of people in the center of the stone platform.

Immediately reached out to the back of her heart, and the other hand was on her eyebrows, and a black gas quickly burst out of his fingertips and submerged into her body.

At the same time that black qi entered the body of the Yuan Circle, she felt that her pulled soul also seemed to have gained gravity all of a sudden, and it fell down violently, instantly falling back into this body.

The soul is withdrawn - although it is not completely withdrawn, but this is the first time that the Yuan Circle has felt what it is like for the soul to leave the body, which is frightening and frightening.

She closed her eyes and lay in her arms and didn't move, she slowed down for a while, and after a while, she slowly opened her eyes, looked up at Ming Xiu, and said softly: "I'm fine." ”

Shen Xiu stretched out his hand and gently rubbed her eyebrows, because there were many people here, some things he couldn't say, and some things he couldn't do in front of everyone. With a flickered expression, he suddenly copied both hands, hugged him directly in his arms, got up from his seat, and didn't even say hello, but left the square directly with the person in his arms, and left the scene of the exorcism ceremony.

His move made Yuan Quanquan startled, his hands around his neck, and his eyes were surprised: "Beitang, what are you going to do?" ”

Shen Xiu lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then looked up at the red mask in the center of the stone platform from a distance, and said coldly: "Leave here, you should not stay here now." After saying that, he turned around and walked away without looking back.
