Chapter 20: The Formation of the Stars
Myolie Tan had a dream.
In the dream, the clouds and shadows were beautiful, the wind was melodious, she held Wei Siyang's hand, and a large piece of epiphany like snow opened straight from their feet to the distant horizon.
Suddenly, the wind rose suddenly, the torrential rain was like a note, the epiphany flowers were blown and scattered, and a cloud of black smoke surrounded her and Wei Siyang tightly, and ghost claws stretched out from the black mist, grabbing her body, legs, and face.
Myolie Tan shouted in fear: "Brother Wei",
I heard Wei Siyang's deep voice in my ears.
"Apricot, are you awake?"
Tan Xing'er opened her eyes and saw Wei Siyang's handsome and resolute face. And herself, lying in the crook of Wei Siyang's arm, her petite body leaning against Wei Siyang's solid chest, and the fear in the dream just now disappeared in an instant.
"Brother Wei, have I slept for a long time?" Tan Xing'er asked.
Wei Siyang looked at Tan Apricot in his arms and smiled, his clear eyes originally had a hint of coldness, but when he smiled, it was as warm as a spring breeze blowing through a glacier.
"Actually, you should have slept a little longer," Mr. Wei said.
"It's not a good time for you to wake up now. ”
Tan Xing'er opened her eyes wide and looked around, only to find that Wei Siyang was standing in the center of the hall of the teahouse with her in her arms, while her grandfather Tan Yanbei was pushing those green vine tea tables back and forth with a solemn face.
There are a total of seven tea tables, Tan Yanbei put the seven tea tables in seven directions, just encircled himself and Wei Siyang Tan Xing'er in the middle, Tan Yanbei held the bronze turtle and snake tea cup in his hand, and sat down on the rattan chair in the middle
。
"Apricot, Siyang. He said in a deep voice, "Sit down too."
Wei Siyang put Tan Xing'er on another rattan chair, but he stood beside Tan Xing'er.
Tan Yanbei looked at Wei Siyang, shook his head and said, "You don't have to be too nervous, we are in the formation, and those friends outside can't enter." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a piercing scream suddenly sounded in the wind and rain outside the tea house, and in the dim light under the eaves, black shadows flew back and forth, as if they were about to rush into the house at any time.
Tan Xing'er's eyes widened in fright, "Grandpa, what's up there?" She asked Tan Yanbei, "Is it a flock of birds?"
Tan Yanbei shook his head and said, "It's not a bird, it's a bat." ”
Tan Xing'er looked up at Wei Siyang, her eyes were full of fear, Wei Siyang said softly: "You don't have to be afraid, grandpa used the tea table to set up a very powerful formation, they can't get in." ”
His voice was full of comfort and firmness, Tan Xing'er nodded and said, "With you and grandpa here, Xing'er is not afraid of anything." ”
Wei Siyang looked at the seven tea tables and said in a deep voice, "Old Man Tan, is the direction of these seven tea tables the direction of the seven stars in the northern sky?"
Tan Yanbei snorted and said slowly: "The seven constellations in the north, namely Dou, Niu, Female, Void, Danger, Room, and Wall, the shape and orientation of these seven tea tables have evolved according to the trend of the Seven Constellations, and once they are combined, they are the Northern Heaven Xuanwu Great Array that is invulnerable to all evils." ”
Wei Siyang also snorted and said, "Your old man can also set up the Xuanwu Seven Star Array with a few tea tables, so who are you?"
Tan Yanbei smiled and said, "Is now the time to talk about this?"
Wei Siyang nodded and said, "The old man is right. What can we do to get rid of those uninvited guests first?"
Before Tan Yanbei could answer, the disturbing chattering outside the teahouse suddenly quieted down, leaving only the sound of wind and rain.
Wei Siyang rushed to the windowsill and looked out, and the flying black shadows under the light slowly gathered together, as if they were discussing something.
Tan Xing'er said in a trembling voice, "Did they all fly away?"
Wei Siyang shook his head and said, "They are gathered together, and I don't know what to do." ”
Tan Yanbei also stood up and looked out, the condensed black shadow suddenly dispersed rapidly, they no longer attacked the teahouse, but rushed into the epiphany field like a gust of wind, using their wings and claws to pounce and bite the epiphany.
"Epiphany," Tan Yanbei said suddenly, "They can't attack my formation, so they want to destroy the flower field." ”
Tan Xing'er looked at her grandfather and Wei Siyang distressed and helpless, and said softly: "If you destroy the flower field, you will destroy it, and we can plant it again if the epiphany is gone." Maybe they'll fly away when they're done destroying the flower fields!"
Tan Yanbei said with an anxious face: "No." Our ephemerals are too important to be ruined by them, and I have to go out and get rid of them. ”
Tan Xing'er's anxious tears were about to fall, and she took her grandfather's hand and said, "Those strange birds are so fierce, how can you go out, grandpa?"
Wei Siyang had been looking at Tan Yanbei's expression, there was a row of low bamboos planted under the windowsill, and he suddenly reached out and broke off a bamboo pole.
"Old Man Tan, don't worry," Wei Siyang said, "I'll go." ”
