I thought a lot in my head, but it was just a moment.

Kou Shu quickly confirmed, smiled and nodded: "Since this is the case, then please ask this Dharma Protector to lead the way." ”

The man looked at Kou Shu in some surprise, perhaps wondering why Kou Shu knew that he was a Dharma Protector. In fact, Kou Shu just guessed, because in this kind of teaching, there are usually one or several Dharma protectors.

Following behind the Dharma protector, Kou Shu took the mandarin duck and ripple to walk in the envious gaze of everyone, her eyes did not squint, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, but she wants to see what kind of saint the saint of the Saint Sect came to find her, and what she is for.

After a short time, Kou Shu followed the Dharma Protector to a place that resembled an altar, where candles were lit on all sides, and a very strange pattern was drawn in the middle.

"This is the altar of the Cult of the Holy Maiden, and every year the Holy Maiden chooses a person and brings it here to pray for him." After the Dharma Protector brought the person in, he explained.

Kou Shu was still puzzled, and saw that the saint was not here, so she asked, "You pick people in the middle of the night every year?" ”

The Dharma Protector shook his head, and seeing that Kou Shu's face was full of puzzlement, he explained: "The Holy Maiden's travel is random, so the people who choose to pray for blessings are also random. ”

That being said, Kou Shu still didn't believe that she had such good luck.

After a while, the saint came to the other side. Her steps were calm, light and slow, and she seemed to have a complete graceful beauty. However, her face was cold and expressionless.

"Please come with me." The voice of the saint is also cold, but it is like a basin of cold water in summer, which makes people feel cold and comfortable.

Kou Shu followed the saint to the middle of the altar, and Ripple and Mandarin Duck wanted to step forward, but were stopped.

"That's it, please sit down."

Kou Shu was surprised, and thought she was going to kneel, but she didn't expect to sit down. She asked, "Do you feel free to sit down?" ”

"Yes."

Kou Shu didn't shirk and sat down cross-legged.

Seeing her sit down like this, a trace of surprise flashed in the saint's eyes. Of the many people she had seen, only Kou Shu was sitting cross-legged, and the others were sitting upright.

As if guessing that she would find it strange, Kou Shu explained: "I studied martial arts when I was young, so I am also used to sitting cross-legged, and I hope that the holy woman will not be surprised. ”

The saint shook her head and did not speak.

After a while, there were more and more people around the altar, all wearing masks with strange expressions, holding torches around the altar.

The ripples and mandarin ducks standing outside the altar were very frightened, and the ripples even shouted: "What are you going to do?" Walk a little farther away with a torch. ”

Kou Shu glanced around lightly, still sitting very calmly.

"You're not afraid?" The saint asked lightly.

"Is it still useful to be scared now?" Kou Shu also replied lightly.

The two looked at each other, and the saint suddenly smiled. Her smile is like a spring breeze blowing on the surface of the lake, sparkling and shining with infinite spring.

"The gods are above." The holy woman knelt in front of Kou Shu, knelt down to a spiritual seat on the altar, and said such a sentence in her mouth, and the rest were words that Kou Shu didn't understand, she guessed that it was Nanzhao Tu.

The saint muttered a lot, and glanced back at Kou Shu in the middle. It's a pity that Kou Shu couldn't understand anything, so she could only smile back.

Soon, the saint turned around again, holding a wicker stick in her hand that came from nowhere, and dipped it in water and whipped it on Kou Shu's body. It's not really a whipping, it's just a symbolic gesture, and all the water is hit on Kou Shu's body.

"It's holy water." The saint explained coldly.

Kou Shu nodded, not dodging or dodging.

When the saint stopped, someone brought a brazier. The saint motioned for Kou Shu to follow her, and the two of them stood aside. The people who had been gathered outside came up one after another and put the torches they were holding in their hands into the braziers.

The ripples that had been standing outside the altar breathed a sigh of relief.

Kou Shu looked at the saint and waited for her explanation.

"It's a send-off of bad luck." The Holy Maiden watched as everyone threw the torches into the brazier, and the black smoke drifted into the sky, and she looked at Kou Shu and blinked: "I have asked for you to get my wish." ”

Kou Shu smiled indifferently.

This is the most common prayer, everyone wants to get their wish, but who can really do everything?

As if looking at Kou Shu's disbelief, the saint said: "Believe me, what you ask for now will definitely come true." ”

Kou Shu looked at her deeply.

What she wants now is to find out the truth about the destruction of the Kou family and the death of her father, and the other party is not left without any clues, so as long as she catches it, she will definitely find out, no matter how long it takes.

After thinking about it, Kou Shu smiled faintly. The so-called blessing is nothing more than asking for peace of mind. If you feel like there is hope for what you're doing now, you'll be motivated to keep doing it.

"Why me?" Kou Shu asked suddenly.

The saint was stunned for a moment, as if she did not expect someone to ask this question. She smiled faintly: "Maybe it's because you have a thirst in your heart." ”

I am eager to clarify my father's grievances as soon as possible, and I am eager to find out the cause of my father's death as soon as possible.

Listening to the words of the holy woman, Kou Shu was also stunned. She subconsciously touched her face, thinking to herself, had she already shown so obviously? When I looked up again, the saint had already walked out for a while.

Kou Shu trotted after him and asked, "Where is the Holy Maiden Sect?" ”

The holy woman smiled indifferently: "In the southernmost forest south of Nanzhao." As long as you come in, you are always welcome to come. ”

To the south of Nanzhao, there is a swamp, and above the swamp, there is a poisonous fog, and in the poisonous mist, countless giant pines have been pulled out. That place is so dangerous that ordinary people dare not set foot easily. But the Holy Maiden Cult is located in it, which makes you curious but afraid to step in.

Kou Shu nodded calmly.

Guessing that she didn't know where it was south of Nanzhao, the holy woman said lightly: "Farewell." ”

She flicked her cloud sleeves, and her body floated up lightly and landed in the soft sedan chair. Immediately, the sedan chair was lifted, followed by the maid and the Dharma protector, and the group trotted away.

Kou Shu only saw that after the group ran for a distance, they all rose in the air and flew up with a sedan chair. She was startled, but quickly calmed down again.

Ripple and Mandarin Duck didn't dare to approach Kou Shu's side until this moment. Ripples pulled her and kept asking, "Master, are you okay?" ”

Kou Shu shook her head, turned her head and asked, "What is this Holy Maiden Sect?" ”

Yuan Ling flashed over from the crowd and bowed his head in return: "The Holy Maiden Sect has a history of thousands of years in Nanzhao, and the inheritance time is even longer than that of Nanzhao. The prestige of the saint in the Southern Zhao is comparable to that of the emperor. ”

Kou Shu listened and smiled without saying a word.
