Next, the ghost mask began to dance and say something in his mouth.

Woo-woo, I don't know what kind of bird language it is.

I didn't understand it at all, but Yin Linxi on the side had a look of something on his face, sometimes nodding and sometimes twisting his eyebrows.

Could it be that he understood what the ghost mask was saying?

"Hey," I said as I tugged at the corner of his coat and deliberately lowered my voice, "do you understand what he says?" ”

"I don't understand." Yin Linxi replied sullenly.

I rolled my eyes widely, "So what are you doing here?" ”

"What are you anxious about? I haven't finished my sentence yet," Yin Linxi pulled me closer and leaned into my ear again, "This man is reading something similar to the tone of the strange man we saw last time in my father's palace. ”

"What did you say?"

I was startled, and quickly looked at the ghost mask dancing in the light of the fire, which was as bright as day.

Could it be that this person is from the Dian tribe like the strange person in Xianyu Palace? Or witchcraft

I was unconsciously on guard.

When he looked at Yin Linxi again, the guy had already returned to his usual expression.

"But how do you know?" If this tone is used for ordinary communication, I'm afraid that no one can understand it except for their own witch cults, right?

How did Yin Linxi know? Could it be that the weirdo misused this emphasis to talk to him?

But that weird man is so secretive, can he be so negligent?

For some reason, at this moment, I suddenly remembered the scars on his chest, and I vaguely felt that there was some connection.

But what exactly is the connection? I have no way of knowing.

Yin Linxi also seemed to see my suspicions, so he smiled and nodded my eyebrows, "What strange thing are you thinking?" I know that the thing in his tone is just what I heard when my father asked him to spend 100,000 Heroic Souls. ”

100,000 heroic souls

When he said this, I unconsciously lowered my head, and my heart felt like a small pimple, and my heart hurt.

Yin Linxi probably sensed that what he said was a little inappropriate, and hurriedly took me into his arms.

There was a hint of apology in his voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else, it's not your fault, don't think too much!" ”

I shook my head slightly.

When he came back to his senses, the ghost mask had already begun to speak, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just negotiated with the gods, and the gods said that this year's prayer ceremony must be completed by a woman." ”

As the words of the ghost mask fell, the crowd exploded.

Someone said, "High priest, how is this done?" Women are born lowly, and the ritual of praying to the gods is so sacred, how can it be done by women? ”

"Is this God's will, do you want to question it?" Without question, the ghost-faced man turned around and said to the crowd below who were still whispering, "If anyone questions God's will, you might as well stand up, and this priest will not speak, and let you go to God again, how about it?" ”

With this, the crowd below finally stopped talking.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The ghost-faced man slowly moved his face towards me, his eyes hidden behind the mask as if they were looking at me, making me feel a little hostile for no reason.

"What are you laughing at?"

I looked left and right to confirm that he was talking to me, so I restrained my smile and said seriously, "I laugh, this prayer ceremony is so strange, it is clearly said that the blessed general chosen by God can have divine powers, but now I listen to the tone of the high priest, but it seems that anyone can have divine powers, so what is the point of choosing a blessed general?" ”

As I finished, the eyes behind the ghost's mask seemed to narrow.

Then the people behind me began to accuse me of being disrespectful to God in very harsh terms.

I ignored them, because I knew they were just being deceived.

The ghost mask didn't pay attention to me anymore, only turned around and took a stick holder from the shrine behind him, and held it high above his head and shouted, "Today, the gods are gathered to think about it, and finally order the maiden to be in the position, choose to send the blessed girl to the world, wear auspicious fur, wear Fengsui, ascend to the high level of the cloud star, see the gods petition, and hope that the gods will send a message!" ”

After saying that, he began to dance with his hands while shaking the stick holder in his hand like crazy.

I put one hand to my mouth and whispered to the middle-aged woman, "What did he just mutter?" ”

The middle-aged woman glanced at me, and then explained, "What the high priest said is that today is the ninth festival, the gods gathered to discuss, and finally chose the female star position, which means that a blessed girl must be chosen in the world, let her wear auspicious fur, wear a rich grain tassel on her head, step on the cloud star steps, go up to the top of the cloud and petition the gods, and let the gods bless our people with food and clothing, and the health of our families!" ”

Wait, she just said Yoshimitsu Fur? Did I hear me right?

In order to confirm this, I asked the middle-aged woman again, "Auntie, did you just say Jiguang fur?" ”

"yes, what's so strange?" The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows in surprise.

I became more and more confused, "But I remember, didn't you say that Ji Guang is a divine beast of Fenglin Continent is extremely rare?" ”

"That's right!" The middle-aged woman stopped looking at me, but stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the ghost mask, "However, the auspicious light fur that the high priest said is made of red fox fur, and holy water is applied on it, so it will not ignite fire, I really hope that the high priest chooses me!" ”

In the end, I saw that she was excited, and I didn't ask any more, but just turned my eyes to Yin Linxi with interest.

"What are you bringing me here for?"

Yin Linxi smiled and replied, "Do you believe me?" ”

"Why do you ask?"

"Do you just say do you believe it or not?"

"Did something happen?"

"Su'er" Yin Linxi smiled bitterly.

I had to pout, "Okay! I believe in you! ”

"Then you will be the lucky girl!"

"What did you say?" Once again, I suspected that something was wrong with my ears.

Yin Linxi smiled at me, "Don't worry, everything is with me!" ”

"You"

"Snap"

Just as I was about to speak, the sound of a bamboo stick falling to the ground passed through the crowd.

Ghost Mask bent down and slowly picked up the stick from the ground.

And under the light of the fire, the signature is impressively written: There is a beautiful woman under the tree, and the snow is washed with no hands.

The ghost mask was read truthfully according to the signature, causing everyone to look at each other and discuss it in twos and threes.

What does this mean exactly?

The ghost mask cleared his throat, "The signing is final, ladies and gentlemen, whose name is Su Xue?" ”

Su Xue, isn't this me?

I turned my head and looked at Yin Linxi in a complicated way.

He bowed his head at me with a calm expression, as if he already knew all this.

For some reason, my heart suddenly ached, and then a kind of unwillingness to be used by others came to my heart.

But despite this, I still raised my hand tremblingly, because I wanted to see what the hell Yin Linxi was up to.

At the same time, the ghost mask looked at me, and the eyes that were hiding under the black mask seemed to squint again.

But when I got closer, I couldn't see the slightest movement.

After staring at each other for a moment, the ghost mask turned around, took a burden from the table in the shrine, and turned his back to me with a slight movement.

The voice said to me without waves, "Please put it on!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, looking at the bright red fox fur cloak in the ghost mask's hand, and then turning my head to look at the people who had almost pierced me with their eyes.

I had to sigh lightly and take the red fox fur cloak from the ghost mask.

However, I didn't expect that the fox fur cloak was actually wet, and the weight was very heavy.

Even though I usually boast that I am as strong as an ox, the weight of this fox fur cloak made me stumble in public and almost fall to the ground.

Fortunately, he leaned into a strong chest in time behind him.

"Su'er, are you alright?" He whispered in my ear, but his eyes were fixed on the ghost mask.

I shook my head dumbly.

But in the blink of an eye, I clearly saw a trace of gloom in the eyes under the ghost mask, fleeting.

I let out a "pop" in my heart.

Could it be that this man is also a member of the witchcraft?

My palms unconsciously broke out in some cold sweat, and I secretly tugged at the corners of Yin Linxi's clothes.

Unexpectedly, he chuckled at the ghost mask as if he ignored it, and said, "High priest, Neiko is cowardly and afraid of disturbing the gods of all walks of life, why don't you let me accompany her up?" It's good to give her courage! ”

"What?" The ghost mask was visibly panicked, and then said categorically, "No, how can you defile the gods at will?" Since the oracle said that she could go, then she should be allowed to go alone, and outsiders should stay aside. ”

"Yes, yes, the high priest is right, outsiders pull aside!"

The crowd of onlookers began to point fingers at Yin Linxi.

He didn't mind at all, just looked at them and smiled.

This makes me feel more and more bottomless, what the hell is Yin Linxi doing?

At this time, the middle-aged woman who was watching next to him beckoned to him again and again, and said with an anxious face, "Gentleman, come back quickly, this is just a ceremony, it looks dangerous but in fact it can't hurt the girl in the slightest, you don't want to spoil our Furui in Hanzhou!" ”

But no matter what they said, Yin Linxi's face was still unmoved.

Until my hand holding the red fox fur cloak suddenly lightened.

"Let's go!"

Yin Linxi said lightly, and then took my hand and walked towards the "Heavenly Steps" with flames burning on both sides.

"Wait, you"

"Trust me!" Yin Linxi seemed to know what I was about to say.

In my stunned gaze, he just smiled faintly.

Raising his hand, he draped the red fox fur cloak behind him, and said with a serious expression towards me, "Later, you will nest in my arms, don't look up or stretch out your hand, you know?" ”

Then, without waiting for me to answer, he was so short that he directly hugged me horizontally.

After making sure that I was wrapped tightly, Fang walked towards the "Heavenly Steps" with heavy steps.

"Stop!" The ghost mask behind him screamed fiercely.

Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, a man who looked like a guard flew out of the crowd and tangled with him.

"What's going on?" I probed a little, staring blankly at the unidentified figure that suddenly appeared behind me.

Yin Linxi put his chin back against my head, and said indifferently, "It's just a secret guard!" ”
