"Who!"

Lei Yue sat up from the bed suddenly, and held her forehead a little weakly, only to find that her head was full of sweat, and laughed at herself: "I was actually scared by a dream." ”

"Crackling~"

At this time, the sound of firecrackers exploding and the cheers of local residents can be faintly heard outside the house, as if they are celebrating a holiday. Lei Yue got up and pushed open the window with some curiosity, and just happened to see Gu Yan busy in the small courtyard alone, and dressed up carefully, wearing a set of tender yellow clothes, with a face like peach blossoms, smart eyes, full of vitality, and a pair of bells tied to his wrists, which sounded crisply as his body swayed.

Lei Yue looked at the sky, she didn't know when the rain stopped last night, and the ground was still wet, and the air was filled with the aroma of earth and the smell of medicinal herbs.

"Miss Gu, it seems to be very lively outside today?" Lei Yue said.

Gu Yan was just about to put the dried herbs in his hand on the medicine shelf, when he heard Lei Yue's question, he stopped and looked back and smiled: "Because today is the Feixia Festival." ”

"Feixia Festival?" Lei Yue looked at Gu Yan suspiciously, obviously not having heard of Feixia Festival.

"Hey!"

After Gu Yan put the herbs on the top layer of the medicine shelf, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, revealing two small tiger teeth and explained: "Thirty years ago today, Feixia landed and created the current Feixia City. In order to commemorate this day, the residents of Feixia Castle have made today a commemorative day and called it the 'Feixia Festival'. Every year, the Feixia Festival is no less lively than the New Year, and His Majesty the Emperor may even descend the Dharma Body to pray for the residents of Feixia City. ”

"Will the Human Emperor descend the Law Body?" Lei Yue stared at Gu Yan in surprise.

"That's right. Gu Yan nodded, and then said, "However, it's only possible." The last time I saw His Majesty's Dharma Body was ten years ago. ”

Although it was already ten years ago, Lei Yue was still surprised, he never knew how far away the ancient capital of Yan and Huang crossed the void to this small border city to descend the Dharma Body, and the cultivation of the Human Emperor was only afraid that it had reached the extreme, but he didn't know if there were still opponents now.

"Ahem!"

Lei Yue was thinking about it, when a cough came from the opposite room, and Lei Yue and Gu Yan looked over together. I saw Gu Yu wearing a black robe inlaid with gold threads, walking slowly behind his back with his hands behind his back, different from the previous laughter, and asked very solemnly: "Yan'er, are the things ready?"

Gu Yan turned around and replied, "It's all ready." ”

"Good. Gu Yu nodded, and then said to Lei Yue: "Young Master Lei Yue, you might as well go with Yan'er to see the sacrifice today." ”

Lei Yue smiled slightly, and noticed that Gu Yu's body was filled with incense, and there was a quaint wooden hairpin pinned to the top of his head, and even his beard was neatly kept, obviously he had already bathed and fasted, and he should have played an important role in the sacrificial ceremony, so he smiled and said, "I will definitely go down." ”

Gu Yu didn't say anything, turned around and left. After Gu Yu left, Gu Yan explained: "Grandpa is the priest of the sacrificial ceremony, and it will become very solemn at this time of year. ”

Lei Yue nodded, looking at Gu Yu's dress, he had already guessed it, and Fu Fengchen's attitude towards Gu Yu that day was enough to explain the problem. It's just that he was surprised that Gu Yu, who usually likes to talk to Gu Yan and doesn't look like a proper person, turned out to be an important priest during the sacrifice.

"Okay, Brother Lei Yue, you go change your clothes first. I have to go outside and take a look first, or my grandfather will scold me for being lazy again. Gu Yan smiled and waved his hand and left the small courtyard.

Lei Yue looked up at the sky again, and felt that the sky was good, and it shouldn't be like yesterday, and it shouldn't be like yesterday, and her mood became cheerful. So, he turned around and went back to the house, changed into a set of clean clothes, hung the jade pendant on the table around his waist, and went out. It's just that he didn't notice that a very small crack appeared on the "suppressive" side of the jade pendant, and the Soul Devouring Sword was a little dimmer.

......

After leaving the pharmacy, because Gu Yan still had something to do, Lei Yue wandered around the street alone. At this time, his appearance is still very good, with a delicate face, upright facial features, a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a "meditation" facing outward, just a folding fan, you can be a merry talent. There are also crowds of people around, and there are dragon and lion dances, stilt walking and other programs in the distance, everyone is happy, and the liveliness is really no less than the New Year.

Lei Yue looked up at the sky, it was the time when the scorching sun was in the sky, and the sacrificial ceremony only began in the evening, so it was still early. When Lei Yue was thinking about where to spend time, Fa

Now a group of people gathered in front of him was very lively, and he immediately squeezed over, who liked to join in the fun. It turned out to be a group of people performing on the street, with chest crushing boulders, golden gun throat locking skills, and hard qigong, and people cheered loudly every time they performed.

After giving a piece of broken silver, Lei Yue squeezed out of the crowd again, and walked a few steps forward, only to find that there were a few sneaky thugs behind him. Lei Yue smiled lightly, playful, pretending not to find anything, and continued to walk forward, but it became more and more remote, and finally walked into an alley.

Seeing that Lei Yue had killed himself and turned into a dead end, a few little hooligans couldn't help but smile, took out a dagger from behind him, held it in his hand, and followed him with a cruel smile.

A few minutes later, Lei Yue slowly walked out of the alley like no one, and Shengxue, who was dressed in white, happened to meet Gu Yan who came out of the pharmacy, and said, "Miss Gu, what a coincidence." ”

Gu Yan was holding the things needed for the sacrifice in his arms, and after seeing Lei Yue, he first greeted with a smile, and then asked suspiciously: "Brother Lei Yue, what a coincidence, why are you here?"

Lei Yue smiled lightly and said, "I just solved a little thing." ”

Gu Yan saw that Lei Yue was intentionally or unintentionally blocking the small alley behind him, and felt a little curious, and stretched out his head to see what was inside, but Lei Yue blocked it and asked, "Are you going to Feixia Tower now?"

Gu Yan saw that Lei Yue didn't want her to look inside the alley, so she gave up, and returned with a smile: "Yes, this is something that grandpa will use later." ”

"Okay, I'll come with you. Lei Yue said warmly.

"Hmm. Gu Yan nodded, and left side by side with Lei Yue.

In the alley, five or six men lay crookedly, moaning weakly, their right arms frozen by a cold air.

......

After walking for nearly an hour, Lei Yue and Gu Yan came to Feixia Tower, and the three old men of the God Destruction Realm were still sitting in front of the stone pillar as immobile as a mountain, guarding Feixia with peace of mind. In addition, there are many carpenters who carry planks around and work hard to build the altar to be used in the evening.

"Grandpa!" After finding Gu Yu's location, Gu Yan shouted hello and ran over. Lei Yue also looked over, only to see Fu Fengchen, Gu Yu and a few figures with heads and faces in Feixia City discussing the affairs of the night, and after hearing Gu Yan's voice, he stopped the discussion and looked at them.

"Son Lei Yue. Fu Fengchen greeted warmly.

Lei Yue smiled and replied, "Excuse me." What about the Xuanyuan City Lord?"

Fu Fengchen replied: "My father-in-law won't come until the afternoon, and I'm discussing things in the mansion now." Here, I, Gu Lao, and a few seniors are watching together. ”

Lei Yue nodded and said, "That's the case." As he spoke, Lei Yue looked at several people around Fu Fengchen, a bloated businessman wearing expensive silk clothes, a martial artist with solid muscles who looked very secure, and the remaining two were cultivators, one was an immortal wind bone, and the other was informal. And what surprised Lei Yue was that the cultivation of the two of them was actually higher than that of the person covered in mud, who had reached the Ghost Killing Realm, and it seemed that the immortal wind Dao bone had obviously only entered the Divine Destruction Realm for a long time, and his breath was still unstable.

"Fengchen, who is this?" Shang Jia asked with a smile narrowing his eyes, and the rest of the people also stared at Lei Yue curiously.

Fu Fengchen turned around and introduced to everyone: "This is the son of Lei Yue, the son of His Majesty the Human Emperor's old friend. ”

Everyone was shocked, and they all greeted Lei Yue, even Gu Yu was also surprised, although he guessed that Lei Yue's identity was not simple, but he didn't expect that it was related to the Human Emperor. However, it is said that before the Human Emperor became famous, he was sent to an inconspicuous small city in the Yanhuang Ancient Kingdom, where he met the current Heavenly Emperor and Demon Venerable, and Lei Yue's father probably met the Human Emperor at that time.

"Lei Yue Gongzi is a young talent, and he has the cultivation of breaking the Dao Realm at a young age, which really makes us old guys ashamed. The old Taoist priest who looked like a fairy wind and a bone laughed. The rest of the people also agreed, laughing that they had lived to be dogs, but only the old man in the Ghost Killing Realm was leaning over, holding a wine gourd and smiling and concentrating on drinking, ignoring them.

Lei Yue said politely, "Where", and then asked Fu Fengchen: "Young City Lord, who are these seniors?"

Fu Fengchen immediately introduced to Lei Yue: "This is the richest man in Feixia City, Lin Xiong, Master Lin, half of the silver taels in the annual Feixia Festival are from him. ”

Merchants in expensive costumes poop with big bellies, squinting soybean-sized eyes, and smiling

Said: "Harmony makes money, harmony makes money, without the tranquility of Feixia City, I have no place to make money." ”

Fu Fengchen smiled indifferently, and pointed at the martial artist again: "This is the head of the Wang Sect, and all the soldiers and city defenses in Feixia City are trained and arranged by him. ”

Wang Jiaotou hugged his fists and said: "Lei Yue Gongzi, my Wang Chong is a reckless man, except for a little brute force, he can't do anything, but if there is something in the future, just say hello." ”

Wang Chong's bold personality is very appetizing to Lei Yue, and he also hugged his fists and said: "Wang Jiaotou is polite." After saying that, the two of them put down their hands at the same time and laughed.

"This is the chief of Izumo Province, a respected senior in the castle. Fu Fengchen saw that Lei Yue and Wang Chong were talking happily, so he pointed to the Taoist priest who was immortal wind and said before.

Izumo Daoist waved the dust in his hand and snorted at Lei Yue: "The old man is polite." ”

Lei Yue also saluted: "Lei Yue has seen Izumo Michicho. ”

After the two greeted each other, Fu Fengchen pointed to the last person: "This is the grandfather of the emperor, who practices wood walking, and is the strongest in the city except for his father-in-law, and he is already eighty years old this year." ”

Regarding Fu Fengchen's introduction, the old man Huangfu didn't have much mood swings, just drank his wine silently, and only said slowly after drinking: "It's just an old beggar, how can it be so mysterious as you say." ”

In this regard, Fu Fengchen could only smile bitterly and explained: "Grandpa Huangfu is uninhibited, likes to stay with people in the city, and hides in the people to fight grievances, so he has the title of 'chivalrous beggar'." ”

Lei Yue looked at the old man in front of him who looked only in his sixties and his real age was eighty years old, and he didn't feel strange, after all, Mu Xing originally represented vitality, and it was recognized that people who practiced Mu Xing usually lived a long life. It's just that the old man doesn't love fame and fortune, and his behavior of committing to the bottom of the city makes people feel awe-inspired.

"Hidden in the city, the predecessors are real heroes. Lei Yue said sincerely.

The old man Huangfu said casually: "You can have a relationship with the emperor, and your identity is not simple, so don't talk nonsense like them." Besides, there seems to be something wrong with your cultivation, what's going on?"

As soon as these words came out, Lei Yue was stunned first, but the old man Huangfu didn't mind at all, and raised the wine gourd and drank it. After being silent for a while, Fu Fengchen spoke out and said, "Don't mind Son Lei Yue, Grandpa Huangfu is so straightforward." ”

Lei Yue smiled and shook her head slightly, and said, "I don't mind, there are indeed some problems with the cultivation below, but the family teacher is strictly ordered not to make a public announcement, and I ask the senior of the emperor not to mind." Saying that, Lei Yue bowed slightly to the old man Huangfu, which was regarded as an apology, but he secretly thought in his heart that the old man Huangfu was really powerful, and he could see the problem of his cultivation at a glance.

Seeing that Lei Yue refused to speak, the old man Huangfu didn't dwell too much, just drank silently, but there was a hint of depth in his eyes. Fu Fengchen took the opportunity to change the topic elsewhere and talked to Lei Yue about the characteristics and beautiful scenery in Feixia City, and Lin Xiong and the others also introduced Feixia City to Lei Yue with a smile on their faces.

Lei Yue and the others were chatting hotly, Gu Yan suddenly came out from behind, gently wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said to Gu Yu: "Okay, grandpa's things are ready." ”

Gu Yu smiled lightly, touched the top of Gu Yan's head lovingly, and said, "Okay, there's nothing for you here, you can go play." ”

"Hmm!" Gu Yan showed his two little tiger teeth again, pulled up Lei Yue's arm, said a word to Gu Yu and ran away. Lei Yue was helpless, so she could only turn around and smile apologetically at Fu Fengchen and them, and then blended into the crowd.

Fu Fengchen looked at Gu Yan and Lei Yue, who were gradually moving away, his heart was sour, and he stood in place in a daze, not knowing what to say. Gu Yu noticed his abnormality and called out with some confusion: "Young City Lord?"

"Huh?" Fu Fengchen was startled for a moment, then reacted and shook his head slightly: "It's okay, let's continue." ”

Gu Yu glanced thoughtfully at Lei Yue's immediate direction, sighed lightly and walked over to join the discussion.

After discussing for a while, Lin Xiong and the rest of the people were arguing about some issues next to him, but Fu Fengchen quietly came to Gu Yu, who was concentrating on looking at the picture, and pretended to ask casually: "Old Gu, if I'm not mistaken, Xiaoyan has already held a ceremony to meet the Xuan, right?"

Because Gu Yu was concentrating on looking at the picture, he didn't listen carefully to Fu Fengchen's words, and subconsciously replied: "Yes, this was already the year before last, and the city lord was still sending ...... Huh?" Halfway through his answer, Gu Yu suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Fu Fengchen suspiciously, but Fu Fengchen walked to the side like he was fine.
