Chapter 40: The Hidden Crane of the Demon Realm
The blue bird turned into the form of a little phoenix, and the word "green phoenix" emerged from the bottom of my heart, blurting out unconsciously.
When the blue bird transformed just now, the light in the room rose sharply, and there were a few sounds that pierced people's hearts, I was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so I opened the door and went out to see, and saw that there was no abnormality outside, and no one cared, so I put down my heart and went to the room.
The blue bird, which should be called the green phoenix by now, flew out of the door that I had not had time to close, and the halo around it was stretched very long, and a little spiritual light floated away, which was particularly dazzling in this night.
I wanted to call it back, but I kept shouting, "Qinghuang." "I didn't expect it to ignore me after its consciousness recovered, and hovered straight over the courtyard, as if testing something.
"Blue Bird!" I tried to call it by its previous name again, and it glanced at me, its eyes lit up, but I felt a little alienated, and I couldn't help but wonder if maybe it didn't remember me anymore after it was awakened. But how can this short period of time be compared with the grandeur of the divine bird for thousands of years.
The enchantment above the imperial city is not weak, but the blue bird in the past can come and go freely, not to mention the current divine bird Qinghuang, it is flying in the imperial city, like a temptation, also like a search, finally, with a flutter of wings, out of the west courtyard of my Yong'an Palace.
"Well, if it doesn't have a heart, I can't keep it. "I was holding the Xuanyue pendant in my hand, and I didn't know if I was talking about it to the jade or the big tree in the courtyard, and my heart was sour.
At this time, Xuan Yuepei emitted a burst of light, which was not as dazzling as Qinghuang just now, but four words appeared out of thin air: "Huang Wutong." ”
It's the handwriting of the third woman, it seems that the third woman has long known the origin of the blue bird, so she left me a clue in Xuanyue Perry.
"Wutong!" I suddenly knew where Qinghuang had gone.
There is a sentence in the ancient book: Sycamore birds dare not perch, and they should avoid the phoenix.
There are not many plane trees in the imperial city, there is one in an inconspicuous side hall courtyard of the Hesui Palace, and I saw it on the way to the Pianju Palace last time.
I held the Xuanyue Pei and walked out of the Yong'an Palace, walking on that road, the white light of the Qinghuang could be vaguely seen in front, and the guards on the road saw me saluting, because it was not too late, only when I was like other spirit girls, running in the four halls of the Hesui Palace, there was not much surprise.
But he didn't raise his eyes to notice the green phoenix, and the enchantment above the imperial city was not broken or abnormal, thinking that the green phoenix was more powerful, he could shuttle freely, and regarded the enchantment as nothing.
When I entered the dilapidated hall, I saw the green phoenix perched on the plane tree that was not growing well.
This small palace courtyard is a dilapidated scene, overgrown with weeds, this plane tree looks like no one has been giving a big gift for a long time, the main trunk is straighter, and then it grows randomly upward.
But Qinghuang did not dislike it, as if he had feelings for this sycamore, he seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, the light on his body gradually faded, and the feathers on his body appeared, reflecting the moonlight, and he saw that it seemed to be different from before, it was still cyan, but the green spirit was some.
I stepped forward and walked under the plane tree, the branches perched on by the green phoenix were not high, I stretched out my hand to rub the new feathers of the green phoenix, my heart was like playing a five-flavor bottle, I couldn't say joy or sorrow.
Qinghuang lazily opened his eyes a slit, saw that it was me, and closed his eyes again.
Although it was only a short moment, I still noticed the loneliness in Qinghuang's eyes, mixed with some vicissitudes.
At this time, there were footsteps outside the hall, and I thought to myself that maybe it was the guards in the Hesui Palace or the female official on patrol, so I picked up Qinghuang and wanted to find a place to hide, Qinghuang opened his eyes, his eyes were full of soft colors, and he did not reject them.
There is a rockery on the side of the wall in the courtyard, I hid behind the rockery, and found that there is a small hole on this side, just enough to allow a person to enter the rockery, so I didn't think about it, and hugged the green phoenix in.
Listening to the footsteps, the people outside had already entered the courtyard, and there was just a space in the cave to see the courtyard.
It's just that the courtyard is too dark, and through the stone hole, I vaguely see two figures, one tall and straight, the other petite, I think it is a man and a woman.
The woman's dress was more delicate than that of the female officials in the Hesui Palace, and it was not as luxurious as the emperor's clothes, and I was shocked, she looked like one of the twelve spirit girls.
"Princess, did you not take the Hidden Spirit Pill?" the man asked the woman with some reproach in his words.
This voice is still familiar to me, it is Wu Beihan, there are not many spirit girls who have spoken to him, I am one, and then I look closely at the woman's figure, I confirm that it is Wu Zhen.
Wu Zhen said with anxiety in his voice, and said to Wu Beihan: "Seventh brother, I don't want to eat the Hidden Spirit Pill, and I don't want to stay within the palace walls of this imperial city. ”
I was shocked, Wu Zhen looked weird before, Qiu An had doubted her, but I said it was impossible, and now I know that Wu Zhen didn't take the Hidden Spirit Pill, I still don't believe that Wu Zhen killed Su Niang, but I'm not sure if she knows.
Obviously, Wu Beihan was also worried that Wu Zhen would not be able to get rid of this matter, and said to Wu Zhen: "You will harm yourself like this, if it is known, if you want to come to Su Niang's death, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!"
"Seventh brother, don't you even believe me?I have no grievances with Su Niang, how can I harm her?" Wu Zhen's voice became more and more anxious.
"I naturally believe you, but what do you do to block the mouths of the people in the imperial city, and besides, His Majesty the Human Emperor and the Emperor will give you so many opportunities to explain?"
As soon as Wu Beihan finished saying this, the courtyard was quiet for a while, and I naturally believed that Wu Zhen was innocent, but I still wanted to listen to it.
What broke the silence was a light flying from Wuzhen's body.
"Hidden Crane!" Wu Beihan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the object in the light.
The Hidden Crane was much smaller than the Blue Phoenix, and although it was surrounded by light, it was not as holy as the Green Phoenix, on the contrary, it looked very dark and dirty.
The hidden crane is a thing of the demon race, take the yellow paper soaked in the blood of hundreds of people and fold it into a crane shape, and feed it every three days with the blood of his fingertips, and urge it to use the method of yin and demons to demolish this bad thing.
Qinghuang saw the hidden crane, his eyes flashed with coldness, because he was held by me, but it was still quiet.
Wu Zhen was extremely flustered, and explained to Wu Beihan: "Seventh brother...... No...... Listen to me. ”
"You don't want to die!" Although Wu Beihan lowered his voice, his words were still cold, and he glanced at me after speaking.
I was frightened, afraid of being discovered by him, at this time, Xuan Yuepei was warm in my hand, and Wubei Han did not find anything abnormal, so I knew that it was Xuanyuepei's credit.
"Don't you want to die, this is a demon thing!" Wu Beihan saw that Wu Zhen didn't speak, and there was no one around, so he accentuated his tone again.
Wu Zhen cried at this time, shook his head and replied to Wu Beihan: "No, Seventh Brother, this is not mine, you listen to me." ”
