Chapter 38: Taiyi

The first to sound was the high-pitched voice of sixteen brass trumpets.

Dressed in bright red dresses, the guards held up a huge brass trumpet a man high on the city wall, puffed out their chests, and vigorously sounded the horn to represent the arrival of the honored guests.

Outside the walls of the sixth ring of the Midtown District, a long and mighty line drove into this huge city.

In the golden sunlight, the bishop's door, which would only open when the emperor was coming, slowly opened, and the heavy city gate made a low sound, suppressing the noise of all the surrounding crowds.

Immediately afterwards, the burly soldiers in gold armor held ceremonial halberds and bronze changge, formed a queue and stepped into the foreign city.

First came the halberd-wielding guards, then the ceremonial officials with various ritual vessels, and then the long procession, which required four horses and six wheels to pull, laden with silks, spices, and fine porcelain from the East.

The black-haired female officials in the palace bun poured pure water and flower petals on the avenue, their tall buns were like flying fairies, and the beautiful faces from the East smiled in line with the perfect standard, opening the way for the golden frame behind them.

Eight horses of pure white horses pulled the chariot like a golden cast, and the four corners of the car were decorated with copper furnaces in the shape of mythical beasts, and agarwood, milk, and borneol were thrown into the copper furnace, exuding a strong aroma. The intoxicating aroma spreads in all directions in the breeze, turning the place into a luxurious dreamland.

The noisy crowd gathered on both sides of the road, cheering and shouting excitedly, waving at the great golden carriage, looking up to see the slender silhouette through the layers of thin silk.

After seven days of correction, the princess of the Yunlou clan from the east finally entered the city. Legend has it that at the age of sixteen, the princess was called the princess of the country, sitting on top of her huge chariot.

Surrounded by light gauze and thin silk, a simple silhouette makes it impossible to take your eyes off.

On both sides of the road, thousands of passers-by cheered and shouted. But she remained still, coldly responding to the cheers from the foreign land, as if deaf to them.

But everyone is becoming more and more curious, wanting to know what kind of intoxicating beauty is worthy of such a gorgeous guard of honor.

The huge convoy made its way along the Royal Mile, walking at a slow pace, through the layers of gates and roads, towards the palace at the very top of the city.

Five gates, the first opening. Welcome the exotic princess into Avalon's arms.

In the third ring belt, the crowd that rushed to hear the news almost engulfed Ye Qingxuan. He cowered in the corner of the street with his cane, next to him was a blank white tide.

"It's just a princess, you don't need such a big show, right?"

He watched in amazement as the halberd-wielding gold-armored guards in the distance walked by with their heads held high, and the huge convoy marched mightily towards the peak of this mountain city.

"Three hundred attendants, twenty carriages, that's a lot. ”

Bai Xi pouted beside him and looked at this earthen bun: "In the east, when the emperor is paraded, there will be 10,000 people accompanying him, hundreds of thousands of riders and guards, closing the streets three days in advance and sprinkling water, and paving the roads with yellow silk." When the emperor passes by, he will light a fire beside the road, and put in a total of 100 catties of various spices, and the city will be full of fragrant fragrance, like a fairyland......"

After learning so many formulas, Ye Qingxuan tried to convert how much money was needed for the whole process, and then found that his brain was a little insufficient.

In the end, I can only sigh: "Orientals are really rich." ”

At this moment, the golden car finally came in front of him. In the blazing sun, the thin silk on the car dances, and the golden body seems to blend into the light, reflecting the beautiful colors, which makes people can't open their eyes.

Ye Qingxuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the gorgeous convoy in the distance. On the sea, when the breeze blows, the thin silk and light veil pierced with the birds float up, and it is like a dream.

And the car that was blocked by layers finally revealed a line of air raids.

In the frame, a back can be faintly seen.

The white-haired girl in gorgeous clothes seemed to stare at the sky with her head held high, as if sensing the fiery gaze of the crowd, and cast a glance, fleeting.

But that fleeting look is like mist, and there is an elusive beauty.

The crowd swelled like a boil, scrambling to squeeze forward, shouting for the princess to see her face again. But she had withdrawn her gaze and never looked back. "Look, look. ”

Ye Qingxuan pulled Bai Xi: "Beauty!"

Bai Xi couldn't help but glance at him: "Yes, people have been beautiful since the eighth generation of their ancestors, with excellent blood, no matter how beautiful they are, isn't it in vain to blind the painstaking efforts of their ancestors?"

"How can you be sure?"

"Nonsense, if I want to be rich and powerful, I will definitely pick up a beautiful marriage. Married back to the dozen. Bai Xi waved his little thumb and gestured: "-- I want the kind of elegant and dignified kind that even picks out the boogers!"

"Vulgar!"

"Huh?" the girl squinted.

"Well, I mean, it's big, it's worth encouraging. ”

Ye Qingxuan shook his head, but just as he was about to leave, he glanced at it again.

In the solemn and elegant music, the crowd gathered around the frame, threw flowers, and cheered loudly.

But the silent girl knelt in the tulle, as if she was smiling quietly, with flowers and silk. There is a backdrop of precious jade and gold and silver, and all the splendor and beauty in the world are exhausted, but ......

"It looks a little pathetic. ”

He muttered softly.

"Huh?" Bai Xi looked at him suspiciously.

"Nothing. ”

Ye Qingxuan smiled: "Let's go." ”

Before he could finish speaking, his steps suddenly stopped, and he felt a dizziness.

In the midst of his drowsiness, he suddenly heard a muffled voice, like boiling hot water, in the midst of the crowd, in this huge street.

The sound was like water pouring into the vessel, and the empty echo was tinged with a popping sound.

Again, he experienced the pain of being sick and sick...... It's like going back to the night of the duel between the wolf flute and the rain master!

The cheering of the crowd came to an abrupt halt, and they all staggered backwards, unable to stand still. Some people look around blankly, but they don't find anything. Only on the street corner, the ragged entertainer was still calm, burying his head and gently blowing his Qiang flute.

The flute sounds melodious.

"No, no. ”

Ye Qingxuan stood up against the wall, blocking the dazed Bai Xi in his arms, and finally understood something: "Bai Xi, run! This is ......"

This is a premeditated attack!

Rumble!

-

Before the words fell, there was the sound of a sluice popping in the air.

Because the sound of the Qiang flute suddenly became sharp, like a steel wire piercing into the sky.

On the walls and the high walls on either side, the mouths of sixteen stone dripping beasts echoed with a whirlpool. Immediately after, the heads of sixteen dripping beasts exploded. The gravel flew one after another, and a huge amount of blue light erupted from it, like a waterfall sweeping.

The blue light is like water, gathering in the air, reflecting the sunlight, and it lights up with mottled iridescent colors. But the pungent smell was permeating, overshadowing the incense that spread in the copper furnace.

But where is the water? It is the endless sand of steel!

Hexagonal iron sand flew in the air, flashing with cyan light, sharp edges and corners!

The tide of iron sand came all the way down the sewer, and the spring gushed out. They flowed so fast, but they seemed to be quiet, like an expanding lake in the sky.

The blue light is like a mirror, reflecting the flowers and the frightened faces of everyone.

Immediately after, a burst of notes struck on the lake of iron sand. So it shattered, and countless subway sand flew away and deformed.

The dazzling sunlight circulated on its smooth surface, and the dazzling person could not open his eyes.

Amid the pain and wails of countless people, the vendor in the corner got up. He walked on the bustling streets with his feet, stepping on the beat, and playing the flute proudly.

The sound of the flute was severe, manipulating the iron sand to change in the sky, so that they finally took shape. A hundred mournful howls pierced the sky, and thousands of pairs of wings spread out, reflecting the scorching sun!

That's too many to countβ€”Iron Crane!

The green cranes bred in the countless iron sand screamed in the sound of the Qiang flute!

It was as if countless swords were trembling, and the iron resonated with them.

At this moment, the tide of iron cranes fell.

They split out of the tide, but now they rejoin into the tide.

Thousands of cranes converged in one place, swooping down one after the other, bursting into fiery sparks as their wings rubbed against each other, and as they swooped, the long howl was the sound of death.

The wind did not stop them, but became their precursor. In the wind, the curtain with the ornate pattern was lifted and torn, and the white debris was scattered in the wind like pieces of butterflies.

The wind swept away the crown on the princess's head, causing her silver-white hair to break free and fly through the air. Her ornate robes were lifted like a dissipating mist.

In the fleeting, there is a beauty that cannot be looked at. But this beauty is to be destroyed, for the flaming flock of cranes has struck, one after the other, and pounced on the lonely maiden.

As if resisting in vain, she raised her wrist, which was as white as jade, as if she wanted to reach out to block the impact of the crane tide, ridiculously like a mantis arm as a car. But at that moment, Ye Qingxuan heard Bai Xi's stunned murmur in his arms:

"'Taiyi'?"

Bai Xi stretched out his hand in horror and covered his ears: "Don't listen." ”

Ye Qingxuan couldn't hear it.

Because in that moment, it was as if all the sounds were gone.

He clearly saw that the palm raised by Princess Yunlou was not unfolded, but her thumb and index finger were interlocked, and in this fleeting moment, she snapped her fingers.

Immediately afterward, the shock swept in.

It was like a jade pestle striking on the golden pinnacle, and everything roared.

――**。

Terrible ripples spread out in front of her fingertips. They converge into a bundle and shoot out into the air!

Before this shattering ripple, the wings of the iron crane snapped, and the minions shattered. Originally, they were as hard as steel, but at this moment, the steel was placed under the pressure of 10,000 tons of water, first deformed, then twisted, and finally completely shattered!

Tens of thousands of iron cranes, there are thousands of broken sounds.

They overlapped at this moment, like shattering countless glasses.

The fine iron sand could no longer remain intact under this high pressure, and it was melted and evaporated in an instant...... Rising into the sky, it was blown into the depths of the ocean by the ensuing violent hurricane.

The concussion seemed to penetrate into the body and writhe all the internal organs, and people were crushed in an instant, and blood oozed from their mouths and noses - including as entertainers.

The flute shattered in the wind, and then his hands broke inch by inch, and he fell to his knees, suppressed and restrained by the gold-clad guards.

"Witch!!!You're damned!"

He looked up, bloodshot eyes with bloody tears streaming down his eyes, frantically trying to bite the silent girl in the frame.

"Although I can't kill you today, but our blood will not end! The remnants of Yunlou can't wait to eat your flesh and sleep on your skin...... One day, the traitor Yunlou Qingshu and you will both be punished! Retribution !!"

He roared and shouted over and over again for retribution, and finally his body stiffened and he fell to the ground, where he was silent again.

This is the application of the heart sound of the musician, who destroys his own internal organs and brain from the inside, unwilling to fall into the hands of the enemy.

With his downfall, the sudden attack finally ended.

In the chaos, Ye Qingxuan finally regained his senses. Gasping for breath and sweating like rain.

With Bai Xi covering his ears, he was a little better, but the girl in his arms was pale.

Ye Qingxuan felt that Bai Xi was trembling and shaking. Her physique was already weak, and in that kind of shock, even with Ye Qingxuan's protection, she was already unstable.

"Let's go. She lowered her head and whispered, "I don't want to stay here anymore." ”

"Good. Ye Qingxuan nodded, propped up his crutches, and left with her.

-

In the chaos, everyone ran and fled in a daze.

What was supposed to be a grand welcome ceremony has become a mess at the moment.

But from beginning to end, Princess Yunlou sat on her gorgeous frame, where there were still flowers and gorgeous, as if she was two worlds with the outside world, and all interference could not affect her.

The assassination just now fell on the body like dust, and the dust was swept away, and there was nothing to care about. But in the chaotic crowd, she seemed to be unintentional, staring at the white-haired boy in the crowd and the girl in his arms.
