Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Evil Sect
In the howling north wind, the sound of the bell doll hanging on the phoenix chariot became more and more intense, whimpering, sad and sad, echoing in the heavy snow, occasionally there would be a very harsh scream, and then the surrounding wind and snow trees would roar and tremble with this sharp sound, and those strange sounds came into the ears, making people creepy.
Shen Run rode a horse and followed Feng Yuan from a distance, and at this time he regretted agreeing to Chenguang's proposal, because the witchcraft she did looked too much like evil magic, and it would bring uneasiness to the people of Longxi Kingdom.
"It's been almost half an hour, and the snow hasn't stopped." Qin Shuo stared at the cloudy sky and whispered, "Isn't Princess Chenguang's prayer for snow Ji ceremony too hasty, don't other wizards and warlocks have to fast for many days in advance before casting spells, Princess Chenguang has only prepared for an hour, so hasty, won't she be disrespectful to the gods?" Besides, what the hell are those four bells, how can any bells make that kind of noise, like a ghost child crying, I have several layers of goosebumps. ”
"When I was in the Kingdom of Feng Underworld, I inquired about the Fire Sect of the Kingdom of Feng Underworld, and the Fire Sect of the Kingdom of Feng Immortal Kingdom believed that fire was the god who created all things, and the goddess who served the god of fire was the messenger of the god of fire, and other things, including water, wood, rain and snow, were all slaves of the gods, and the messenger of the god of fire could control all slaves. Princess Chenguang was raised by the former goddess of the Feng Netherworld, and maybe Princess Chenguang also regarded things other than the god of fire as her slaves. Fu Li rarely said much.
Qin Shuo looked at him unexpectedly: "You really know what you inquire. ”
Fu Li didn't dare to say that he was a little interested in the mystery of the Fire Sect.
"Who is the current goddess of the Phoenix Netherworld?" Shen Run asked suddenly.
"I inquired about this in the palace of the Fengying Kingdom, and the palace people said that they didn't know, the new goddess was not a princess, probably an inconspicuous clan girl."
Humble?
Shen Run frowned and fell into thought.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the ranks, and someone shouted in a shocked tone:
"Stopped! The snow has stopped! ”
"Look! The snow has stopped! ”
Qin Shuo was stunned for a moment, hurriedly raised his head, after the wind blew up a pile of snowflakes to disperse, the white snow that fell from the sky suddenly slowed down, and after a few more pieces fell in the sparse and sparse, it stopped abruptly, the thick clouds gradually dispersed, and the long-lost sun sprinkled bright and warm light on the earth.
"Your Highness, the snow has stopped!" Fu Li was overjoyed, and his voice unconsciously became high-pitched.
Shen Run was stunned, he rode on his horse, and looked up at the clear sky, which was as clear as a wash, and it was extremely bright, as if the heavy snow and haze of the previous time were just a dream.
"What a wicked door!" He heard Qin Shuo muttering in a shocked tone.
The victims who had just been hobbling along the side of the road with a miserable face were stunned for a moment when they saw the heavy snow stop, and then burst into thunderous cheers, and many shed tears of excitement.
"Your Highness, look into the distance." Qin Shuo approached Shen Run and whispered.
Shen Run looked ahead.
As far as the eye can see, the sky is still cloudy, and although it is not as heavy as before, fine snow particles are still falling. Feng Yuan walked between the clouds and sunny days, the snow was drifting thousands of miles in front of her, and the wind and sun were beautiful behind her, Shen Run suddenly felt that the word "breaking snow" in her mouth was very vivid, she really seemed to be breaking through the snow barrier and winning the sunny.
"The person sitting there must be a fairy, the fairy can't bear our people to suffer, and he has come down to save us!" Suddenly there was a loud shout of joy among the people who had seen all this.
Maybe it's this sentence that infects people who are already in a state of high mood.
"Immortal Lord!"
"Immortal Lord!"
Soon, some people began to bow down, some happened to pass by because they had fled, and some people came out of their homes to cheer when they saw the snow stop and joined in the bowing.
Long Xiguo's team followed far behind, and was blocked by these people before they could react, Shen Run had to let people clear the way, Rao is so, the further he went, the more people who wanted to worship the immortals, and he couldn't stop it, so he had to ignore it and let them follow far behind.
When he looked at Feng Yuan in front of him again, Shen Run's eyes changed again, he was happy that the heavy snow could stop, but Chenguang's ability to be too evil made him feel dangerous.
At the four corners of the phoenix, the whimper of the bell doll was loud.
"Your Highness, the snow has stopped." Huo Wu walked beside Feng Yuan, hooked his lips and smiled.
"Stop for an hour when you reach Fuyu Mountain." Morninglight's smiling voice came from inside the tent.
"Yes."
In the phoenix, Chenguang leaned on a pile of soft pillows, covered with brocade quilts, carried five hand stoves in his arms, ate small square cakes, and read a thick book. The book is old and yellow, and on the cover of the book, the ancient text solemnly writes two big characters - "Xiangjing".
……
The wind and snow around Ji'an are still there.
The prayer platform is located outside the city.
Emperor Long Xi led the princes and ministers to sit on the high castle tower to watch the festival presided over by Yan Ying, the national teacher, to pray for Xueji.
The altar was surrounded by armies to shield the onlookers.
Originally, this kind of solemn occasion should not have ordinary people, but this year is special, the snow is too big has caused panic among the people, and the rumors that Long Xiguo was condemned by the gods are spreading more and more, at this time the court must find a way to calm the people's hearts, let them see it with their own eyes, the court will not be at a loss because of the major snow disaster, the national teacher dares to pray to the gods openly, and Long Xiguo is not rejected by the gods.
The people who were exhausted by the snow disaster were very religious, and even though the national teacher had not yet come out, the people were already kneeling in the snow and praying with trembling voices.
Bai Wanning, as one of the few noble girls who can attend the festival, sits behind her mother, with a red pomegranate skirt covered with a snow-white crane fur without any miscellaneous hair, beautiful eyes and delicate appearance, attracting the attention of many admirers.
Bai Wanning did not look at the people kneeling in the snow praying with pity like other noble ladies, she was a little uneasy.
She is now full of Shen Run's affairs, Shen Run has been gone for almost a year, and her mood has changed from the initial longing to the current uneasiness, especially when she heard the news that Shen Run had returned to China from Xue Er Girl a few days ago, the ecstasy did not suppress the uneasiness, and the foreboding was strong, blocking her breathlessness.
"Wanning! Wanning! ”
Bai Wanning was startled, came back to her senses, and looked at Xue Rong, the second girl Xue Rong who was sitting next to her, with a panicked expression.
"What do you think?" Xue Rong was amused by her rare messy expression, pursed her lips and asked with a smile, and without waiting for her to answer, she threw an ambiguous glance at her, "I know!" You're thinking about your brother run again, aren't you? ”
Bai Wanning's face turned red.
Xue Rong laughed eatingly.
Xue Rong's mother sat in front and heard her daughter talking on such an occasion, frowned, and coughed heavily.
Xue Rong stuck out her tongue.
The national teacher Yan Ying's steps were light as if stepping on the wind, and the purple robe embroidered with silver charms was puffed up by the hunting wind, but the fairy wind bones could not hide the evil charm in his bones.
Zhang Lun, the great eunuch standing beside Emperor Long Xi, immediately bent down and said to Emperor Long Xi:
"Your Majesty, the National Teacher is here."
