"I have found out that the Holy Maiden cannot be used to threaten the Great Elder. Yun Ruoyan said.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Limo with a frown.

So Yun Ruoyan told Limo the ins and outs of the matter.

"If we want to threaten the Great Elder, we can make a fuss about that Yin Xiao's body. Yun Ruoyan said: "Next, I will win over the Holy Maiden, with her help, it should not be difficult to catch Yin Xiao." ”

"Good. Limo thought for a moment and said, "I'll inform the demon spirits of this and let them prepare." ”

Yun Ruoyan finished talking about her own business, and then asked Limo.

"What have you discovered these days?"

Limo looked at Yun Ruoyan and said word by word: "I found the traces of your father, Long Yin." ”

Yun Ruoyan's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this, and even the hand holding Limo tightened a little.

"Where is my father now?" asked Yun Ruoyan with a trembling voice.

"In a secret prison in the Dragon Castle. Limo patted Yun Ruoyan's hand and said, "I haven't figured out where the specific location of this prison is, I'll continue to investigate." ”

"Limo, you have to pay attention to safety. Yun Ruoyan said with some trepidation, everything related to secrets must be connected with danger, although Yun Ruoyan was anxious to see his father, but he didn't want to be in danger because of this.

"Yan'er, I'll be careful. Limo looked at Yun Ruoyan's flat lower abdomen under his big hand, his hand had never left there, He advised: "It's you, you're not alone now, don't do anything dangerous, remember that everything has me, you know?"

"I know. Yun Ruoyan smiled and nodded, although they have been husband and wife for many years, the warmth of mutual care and mutual snuggling has never changed.

...

On this day, Yun Ruoyan accompanied the saint in the main hall as usual to relieve her boredom, she taught the saint to play chess and roll the dice during this time, and the two of them would play these to pass the time.

The saint looked very bad, as if she was worried about something, Yun Ruoyan asked her, but she said that there was nothing wrong. Yun Ruoyan clearly heard her muttering to herself that it was time again, and then there was a long sigh.

"General. Yun Ruoyan said with a smile: "Holy Maiden, you have lost, you are not allowed to cheat on the one hundred high-grade crystal spirit stones that you said." ”

"Hey, I've lost again, so I'm not playing. The saint said with little interest.

At this moment, the Great Elder suddenly arrived without warning.

When the palace maid outside shouted loudly for the Great Elder to arrive, Yun Ruoyan and the Holy Maiden both changed their faces at the same time. Yun Ruoyan was shocked faster than the Holy Maiden, she pulled the Holy Maiden and whispered, "Let's hurry up and pick up the car." ”

Yun Ruoyan looked at the saint's panicked appearance, quite surprised, according to her relationship with the saint during this time, Yun Ruoyan felt that the saint was not a timid and cowardly person, how could she be so frightened when the Great Elder came.

"Meet the Great Elder. The holy woman saluted the Great Elder, Yun Ruoyan followed behind her, bowed her head and saluted, her voice was very small, and she completely hid her cultivation aura, reducing her sense of existence to a minimum.

"Get up. The Great Elder said lightly, his gaze swept lightly from Yun Ruoyan's body, "I heard Yin Xiao say that you changed your maid again?"

The Holy Maiden obviously didn't expect the Great Elder to suddenly ask about such a trivial matter, and she was stunned for a moment before she said, "Yes, yes." Xiaoyun, come and meet the Great Elder. ”

The holy maiden said to Yun Ruoyan, and Yun Ruoyan could only step forward in response and meet the Great Elder again.

"Lift your head up. The Great Elder's voice sounded above Yun Ruoyan's head, and Yun Ruoyan held her breath and slowly looked up at the Silver Dragon Great Elder.

This was the first time Yun Ruoyan had seen him so closely, in the past, Yun Ruoyan had only seen the Great Elder from a distance through the image of the Heaven Turning Mirror. He was tall and thin, looking like a middle-aged man, with long silver hair draped over his shoulders, his expression was stereotyped as if he had been carved with a knife, and the two nasolabial folds on his face made him look more serious. The whole person gives people a cold sense of slaughter.

Seeing Yun Ruoyan looking at him quietly, the Great Elder's eyebrows moved with the same silver, and he said, "This maid is really a little different. "The handmaid in the entire Dragon Castle can look directly at him like Yun Ruoyan, except for his own precious son, Yun Ruoyan is the first.

As soon as Yun Ruoyan heard this, she immediately seemed to be awakened, and as soon as her legs became weak, she knelt down in front of the Great Elder, and her whole body trembled on the ground.

"Great Elder, my maidservant is not so smart and flexible, just now it must have been because I saw you for the first time and was shocked by your majesty, but now I am frightened when I react. The saint said hurriedly.

The Great Elder took his eyes off Yun Ruoyan and finally stopped paying attention to her.

"Holy Maiden, what do you like to do on weekdays, the deity has never interfered too much, but don't forget the day of the sacrifice. The Great Elder said.

"Don't dare, the day after tomorrow is the day of sacrifice, I won't forget it. The holy woman replied respectfully, but for some reason, Yun Ruoyan clearly heard the meaning of resistance in her tone.

"That's good. The Great Elder turned to leave, and his voice sounded again: "Don't forget that that is the purpose of your existence. ”

When the figure of the Great Elder disappeared at the gate of the palace, the Holy Maiden almost sat on the ground with weak legs, and at this time, Yun Ruoyan, who had already stood up, helped her.

"Holy Maiden, are you alright?" Yun Ruoyan helped her to a chair and sat down, "Is it a terrible thing to sacrifice? ”

Yun Ruoyan didn't dare to pay too much attention to the Great Elder's body, in case he would find out, but he focused all his attention on the Holy Maiden's body. She was visibly starting to get nervous after the Great Elder brought up the matter of the sacrifice.

The Holy Maiden suddenly grabbed Yun Ruoyan's hand and said in a low and trembling voice: "Sacrifice is a very terrible thing, and it is the biggest nightmare I have ever had since I became a Holy Maiden. ”

"What nightmare, what is the situation?" Yun Ruoyan asked.

The saint kept shaking her head and stopped talking, and after a while, she suddenly looked at Yun Ruoyan and said, "The sacrifice is the day after tomorrow, can you accompany me?"

"Yes, I am your personal maidservant, as long as I am allowed to accompany you, the slave is naturally willing to accompany you. Yun Ruoyan said without hesitation, she realized that this sacrifice was definitely not a sacrifice in a simple sense, and there must be a demon when something went wrong, she wanted to see what kind of monster could scare the saint like this.

"Xiaoyun. The holy woman looked at Yun Ruoyan gratefully and said: "I don't want to lie to you, the sacrifice is really a terrible thing, once upon a time I had three very bold maidservants to participate in the sacrifice with me, but they were all frightened, if you are afraid, you can regret it." ”

The Holy Maiden's words aroused Yun Ruoyan's curiosity even more, but she suddenly sounded the child in her womb, so she hesitated a little, "Holy Maiden, the cultivation of the slave and maid is shallow, if you encounter any danger that can't protect you, will you take me with you?"

"Not really, we will be very closely protected from the outside world. ”

After receiving the affirmation of the holy maiden, Yun Ruoyan relieved her heart, "Since there is no danger, the slave and maid will accompany the holy maid, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

Although Yun Ruoyan is almost the mother of two children, she is only in her early twenties, and the saint is at least nearly a hundred years old, but at this moment she is like a weak sister relying on Yun Ruoyan's protection.

Yun Ruoyan told Limo about the sacrifice, and Limo also heard about it, and he said that he was trying to find a way to become a guard in the sacrifice. In this way, Yun Ruoyan no longer has any worries.

Soon it was time for the sacrifice, on this day, the Holy Maiden and Yun Ruoyan both put on their holy silver-white robes, and then led by several women who were also wearing silver robes to the temple.

The sacrifice here was not fanfare, it felt a bit like a small memorial activity to Yun Ruoyan, she accompanied the saint to complete all the memorial processes step by step, and when the people present also left one after another, Yun Ruoyan began to have some doubts.

"Holy Maiden, is this the end of the sacrifice, isn't there anything to be afraid of?" Yun Ruoyan asked in a low voice.

"It's just getting started. The saint replied in a small trembling voice. Yun Ruoyan couldn't help but glance sideways at the Holy Maiden, but when she saw that her face was pale and abnormal, she knew that the terrible thing in her mouth was coming.

All the people left the sacrificial hall, but the Holy Maiden and Yun Ruoyan were asked to stay. It turned out that the Silver Dragon Clan also had a rule, after the sacrifice, the saint needed to pray for the ancestors in the main hall all night, and Yun Ruoyan, as the saint's personal maid, was allowed to accompany her.

Yun Ruoyan saw Limo during the sacrifice, but he had to retreat with everyone, and soon there were only two people left in the huge hall, the Holy Maiden and Yun Ruoyan.

Night soon fell, and the saint became more and more nervous, but no matter how Yun Ruoyan asked her what would happen next, why she was so afraid of being like this, the saint didn't want to say, not that she didn't want to tell Yun Ruoyan, but she simply didn't want to describe Yun Ruoyan.

"Xiaoyun, don't ask. After a while, you'll know. The saint said.

When the night completely covers the main hall, the permanent lights in the main hall are lit up one by one, illuminating the entire space as bright as day. Although there are many ancestral tablets in front of the main hall, and there are some vivid silver dragon sculptures, these do not make Yun Ruoyan feel terrible.

"It's time. Yun Ruoyan heard the saint say, and then she herself stood up from the futon, and Yun Ruoyan also stood up with her. At this moment, the saint could no longer see the slightest look of fear, and her face was cold and numb for some other reason, as if she had lost her previous nervous and frightened look, as if she had suddenly changed into a person.
