Chapter 348: The Great Wizard (Eighteen)
When she was a child, every girl once fantasized that one day she could ride in a luxurious carriage like a princess in a fairy tale, and attend the prince's ball in the envious eyes of everyone, but unexpectedly, her dream came true, although she did not go to the prince's ball.
When the convoy began to walk, the mighty formation also attracted the attention of the passers-by who got up early, and they all started to talk about it, in the imperial capital, ordinary people were not allowed to walk in the city with more than five followers, let alone an armed force of more than 100 people.
Originally, Shulan thought that the so-called ceremony was just a simple celebration in Wushan, but she didn't expect Peng Jiamu to be so grand and use elite armed forces, which made her feel a little unsure, if she didn't contribute anything to the empire in the future, that person would be lost.
Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but wonder, how did Pengamu get to this position as the Great Wizard of the Empire today? If he doesn't have some strength, he will definitely be exposed, is he really a person who understands witchcraft? In the rain village, is that light and shadow his witchcraft?
In this way, she came to Wushan with anticipation and apprehension.
The situation here shocked her even more, and her eyes were about to fall off.
Because, outside the door of the Wushan Wizard's Mansion, thousands of people gathered, all wearing blue cloaks, holding white petals in their hands, and at the moment when she got out of the car, everyone sprinkled the flowers into the sky, and the white petals flew in the wind, forming a dreamlike rain of petals under the brilliance of the morning light.
Shulan Ruo was stunned, this situation and this scene was so sacred, solemn and beautiful, she couldn't believe that such a grand scene admired by thousands of people actually happened to her.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Shulanruo came back to her senses and looked at the painting with uncertainty in her eyes, as if she was confirming with the painting whether such a scene was really welcoming her.
The painting smiled sweetly, "This is the witch ritual prepared for you by the Great Wizard. ”
Even if she got a definite answer, Shu Lanruo still swallowed her saliva, her heart was still pounding, this was excitement, pleasure, and anticipation.
At this moment, the gate of the Wizard's Palace, which had been closed, opened, and out came two boys and girls dressed in white clothes, one of them holding a torch made of gold as a fire mouth, and the other holding a silver cup on high legs.
The two children came to the front and said to Shulan Ruo, "Ask the witch to drink the holy water, and then take a torch into the house and light the holy fire." ”
Shulan mumbled, took the silver goblet, then touched the girl's head and said, "Thank you, little friend." ”
The water in the silver goblet was actually just ordinary water, Shulan Ruo drank it in one go, then took the torch in the little boy's hand, and walked towards the wizard's mansion with snow-white petals.
Along the way, those believers all looked at her with reverence, just like the eyes of those fanatical celebrity fans on Earth when they saw the idol of their dreams.
After entering the Wizard's Mansion, the main mansion is a large hall, which is decorated in a style similar to the council hall in the Forbidden City, which is a real Chinese style, which shows that even in another world, Peng Jiamu's love for his country is very high.
In the middle of the main hall, there is a half-person high stone pillar, and there is a budding golden lotus lamp in the stone pillar, the workmanship of the lotus lamp can be described as ingenious, delicate and elegant and not losing the truth, just like a real lotus flower.
Shulan carefully lit the wick with a torch.
The wick slowly ignited the flames, and then the lotus flower, which was originally about to bloom, slowly bloomed at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a golden lotus flower in full bloom.
After doing all this, the painting stepped forward again and said, "Witch, please come with me to bathe and change clothes." ”
Shulan was stunned for a moment, "Do you want to take a bath and change clothes?"
The painting smiled and nodded, "This is a baptism to cleanse your mortal world and transcend the world." ”
"Okay!" Shulanruo can only agree, this ceremony has come to this point, Shulanruo no longer thinks it's a joke, Peng Jiamu is seriously preparing for all this, meticulous, this is exactly the style of an old scholar in the seventies.
Following the lead of the painting, the two came to another courtyard, which was built on a hill, and in the courtyard was planted a kind of big tree with white flowers, red walls and bricks, antique, very pleasant.
Entering the house, it is the dressing room, Shulan Ruo took off her plain clothes and walked into the bathroom, which is an open-air hot spring, the hot spring is steaming warmly, and the spring water is floating with colorful petals, very meaningful.
After the cleansing was completed, the painting had already prepared a set of white wizard clothes for Shu Lanruo in the dressing room.
Shu Lanruo has a good temperament, and with this white and flawless wizard costume, it looks like a white snow lotus, not contaminated with half of the world's atmosphere.
Then, Hua Wei tied Shu Lanruo's hair, put a white hooded cloak on her, and put a hat on her behalf.
"That's it!" At the end of the painting, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently, "The appearance of the witch is like two people before!" ”
The current Shulan Ruo feels both sacred and pure, with a hint of mystery, completely detached from the cute girl-next-door appearance she has always had.
At this moment, she suddenly had a feeling that an ugly duckling had turned into a white swan.
After the preparation, the two returned to the main hall again, and at this time there was already someone waiting in the hall, and the man was standing on his back, also wearing a white wizard's suit, but the difference was that there was a golden embroidery on the back of his wizard's suit, embroidered with a pattern of golden lightning.
There is no need to guess, that person is Lei Ao, that is, Pengamu.
"Great wizard, the witch has finished bathing and cleansing, and she can start the ritual." The painting saluted Lei Ao.
Lei Ao snorted, and then turned to face the two, he had a white mask that half covered his face, and there was also a small golden lightning pattern at the center of the eyebrows of the mask.
"The clothes fit perfectly!" Lei Ao smiled indifferently, "How is it?" Didn't let you down! ”
"Great Wizard, you're exaggerating, aren't you?" Shulanruo smiled embarrassedly, "I really didn't mean that yesterday, I just wanted to ......"
"It's okay," Lei Ao waved his hand, "There are some things that still have to be done, and since you want to do it, you have to do it best, don't you?"
Shulan Ruo heard that Lei Ao didn't want to mention yesterday's conversation in front of outsiders, so she also cleverly changed the topic, "May I ask the Great Wizard, what am I going to do next?"
"Don't call me the Great Wizard in the future, I'm your master now, you can just call me master."
