Chapter 81: Invited to Go
After coming out of the Flame Battlefield, it was already evening. The adventure was over, and the seven of them felt a little tired, so they just lay down directly after returning to the Yinghuo Inn.
The next day, the seven of them planned to return to the Taoist Sect, so they went to the counter to settle the bill.
"Two triple rooms, thirty wen a day, a total of thirty-five days, a total of one thousand and fifty wen. ”
"So much?"
"The price is already very cheap in the small shop. In addition, although a few people have not stayed for many days, after all, the room is still nominally used by a few people, and this is still unavoidable. ”
The guy did some explanations.
"No, I didn't mean that...... Have we been there for so long?"
"You should be talking about the Flame Battlefield, right? There are no more people who enter there this time, no less, exactly twenty days. ”
"Hey, it's a big loss, it's a big loss, I've been doing some gadgets for half a month, ......."
Yueli suddenly remembered the words of the fox king at this time, and it was better not to say some taboos.
So, Yueli simply paid. After paying the money, the seven turned around and prepared to leave. At this time, the guy at the counter suddenly stopped them.
"Wait a minute, there's a letter from a few people here. ”
"Who's?"
"I don't know, the guy who received the letter said he didn't say anything, just asked us to give you the letter after you walked out of the Flame Battlefield. But yesterday a few people came back and rested, and we were not bothered. I was going to send it this morning, but it turned out that a few people came to check out the store just after it opened. ”
After taking the letter, the seven of them left the City of Ten Thousand Fires. When the carriage was set up, the wind died opened the letter.
"I take the liberty of bothering and ask a few people for forgiveness. My lord would like to meet with you, and I have sent you to invite you to speak up. Please move to the Suzaku Sanctuary, next to the stone statue of our lord, and see my lord under the guidance of the high priest.
I repeat what I don't understand above...... Forget it, it's good for you to come to the Vermilion Bird Sanctuary, and someone will naturally receive you when the time comes, the sooner the better. ”
"What the hell is this?"
After reading it, Feng Yan directly popped out such a sentence. What is this? I'm afraid we won't understand that there are two versions?
The others were also a little confused, first because of the content, and then when Feng Yan said "what the hell is this", it was almost connected with the content of the letter, causing others to think that this was the end of the letter. So they're a little confused now, why did it end with this sentence?
"Windfall, who wrote this...... Wind Death...... Who wrote it, you say...... Wind Death...... You...... What's going on?"
Yueli asked two questions, and found that Feng Yan didn't answer, so she looked at Feng Yan, only to find that he was looking at herself with an embarrassed expression.
"That...... See for yourself. ”
Feng Yan gave the letter to Yueli, and Yueli was immediately stunned. Because the signature is a smiley face, it is not written with a pen, but ...... It was burned out with fire, and there were obvious burnt marks on the edges.
This is nothing, the point is that the burn is very neat, and there is no trace of normal fire at all. But the scorched marks on the edge of the ground proved that it was indeed burned by fire.
"This ...... This...... Write a letter and draw a smile, who knows who you are!"
Yueli was really speechless at the moment. Really, the first time she encountered a letter letter, she drew a smile.
"Leave that alone, how about it, to go or not to go?"
Windfall asked.
"Do you have any ideas?"
"I don't think it's an invitation, and the location is still the Suzaku Holy Land, so there shouldn't be any danger. Besides, if he clearly said that he would hand it over to us after we came out, to prove that he actually knew our whereabouts, then we would not be able to escape from this estimate. ”
"That'...... Looks like there's no escape, what do you guys think?"
"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth!"
"Perhaps...... It's just an ordinary invitation. ”
In the end, everyone agreed to go and see the situation.
"Good...... So it's decided...... This Suzaku Holy Land...... Isn't that the same place where the sacrifice was performed before?"
"It should be...... There is only one Suzaku Holy Land that we have heard about here, and it should be there, so we can't give us a place we don't know about, right?"
"That'...... Let's go back and say hello to Chief Huwei by the way. It's true that this person is looking for us, we haven't been looking for it for so many days, and we have run so far before we call it, can't we stop making such trouble?"
With such a little resentment, the seven returned south.
Since the route was different from before, the seven of them spent some effort on the road. After five days of walking almost day and night, the seven entered the southern region.
After walking for another three days, the seven people came to Huwei Village, said hello to Huwei's family, and played with Xiaorou for a while. After that, the seven of them continued to advance towards the Suzaku Sanctuary.
Soon, the group came to the Suzaku Holy Land. Unlike the crowds I saw before, the quiet Suzaku Holy Land was extremely deserted. On the four high platforms around, there was only a lonely flame that burned alone, and there was not much vitality in it, and it seemed that it would be extinguished at any time. The Suzaku statue in the middle also seems to have lost its previous brilliance and become very dim.
The most important thing is that now this Suzaku Holy Land, except for a few of them and the buildings of the Suzaku Holy Land, there is nothing else.
The place is deserted and the Seven don't care at all now, they care about why there's nothing here.
"Didn't you say that there were people here to receive you? Why don't you even have a ghost?"
"It's not like we're in the wrong place, are we?"
"I guess I'm not wrong? We also asked along the way, and they all said that the Vermilion Bird Holy Land is just that. ”
"Shall we take a look around first?"
"It's not appropriate, isn't it? After all, this place is a sacrificial place, although there is no one around. ”
"As long as you don't touch anything, since you've invited us here, you can't help but let us go in and take a walk, right?"
"That'...... All right. ”
The seven of them walked into the Suzaku Holy Land, looked around, and really found something.
"Sister Wang Ling, come here, there's a person lying here!"
Moon Shadow's voice drew everyone in, and then they saw a person lying next to the Suzaku statue. While outside, he happened to be blocked by the statue.
"Isn't this man the high priest, and he is also called the Suzaku Messenger...... Why is this just lying down? Sister Ling'er, how is he? Is there any salvation?"
"Strange...... There was nothing wrong with his body, but the spiritual power in his body disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of it being forcibly extracted...... Well...... He just collapsed, it's not a big deal, just give some spiritual power, and the amount of two medium-grade spirit stones should be enough to be sober. ”
"Give. ”
Yueli took out two medium-grade spirit stones, and after Wang Ling took them, she steadily introduced the spiritual power into the high priest's body.
"That's fine, let's wait a while. ”。
After a while, the high priest slowly woke up. When he first woke up, he seemed to be a little confused, but when he saw the seven people in front of him, he instantly woke up.
"You're finally here!"
