Chapter XXXVIII

The Ghost Realm.

Feng Yang looked at the Sanssouci Pavilion with many heavenly soldiers coming in and out, and he didn't know what was going on, guessing that Shen Zhou's identity had been made public?

Nan Xiu walked out of the Sanssouci Pavilion and saw Fengyang, who had not been seen for tens of thousands of years, he was suddenly a little suspicious, stepped forward slightly, and asked tentatively: "Isn't this the god of Fengyang?" ”

Feng Yang turned his head to look at the past when he heard the sound, he never thought that he would meet Nan Xiu, the god of war, here.

Seeing that he was quite polite when he saw him, he didn't know what happened to him in Wanling Hall.

So, Feng Yang bowed his hand and said politely: "I haven't seen you for ten thousand years, don't come unharmed, God of War." ”

"Fengyang Shangshen looks much younger again, and he should have lived a very happy life over the years." Nan Xiu's habitual politeness.

I've just been reborn in Nirvana, aren't you young?

Feng Yang couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart, and then smiled with a smile on his face: "The God of War is too famous." ”

"I don't know why Fengyang God is here?" Nan Xiu asked straight to the point.

Feng Yang glanced at Hualou and said, "Naturally, I'm here to find someone." ”

"Oh? Who is the god of Fengyang looking for, I wonder if this god of war can help? Nan Xiu asked with interest.

"I see that the God of War seems to be busy with official business, so I don't bother the God of War." Fengyang Waner declined.

"It's okay, this god of war is also here to find someone, so you can help find it by the way." Nan Xiu still wants to know who the Fengyang God, who has not been seen for tens of thousands of years, is looking for when he appears in the ghost domain at this juncture.

"Oh, what happened in the Heavenly Realm, and what needs to be so mobilized?" Feng Yang couldn't help but want to probe his tone.

The corners of Nan Xiu's lips hooked up a smile of embarrassment: "Doesn't the god of Fengyang know that the Wanling Hall of Danxue Mountain has been slaughtered?" ”

Feng Yang is the victim, how can he not know?

But what does the slaughter of Wanlingtang have to do with the ghost realm and the underworld?

He feigned a look of shock and said, "Is there such a thing? Oh no, it's all because I've been traveling around the Eight Wilderness all year round, I don't know if the God of War has any clues? ”

"In the investigation of the Six Realms one by one, there is no harvest for the time being, but fortunately, I met the father of the criminal in Wanling Hall, and he has been arrested and returned to the Heavenly Court. Nan Xiu said lightly, and it was inconvenient to reveal more.

"The father of the criminal?" Feng Yang suddenly became alert.

"Yes, it is said to be the lord of the Xuanhu Demon Clan." Ti Qiuye, Nan Xiu's disdain was overflowing.

Among these six realms, there is only one master of the Xuanhu Demon Clan, and that is Qiu Ye.

After Feng Yang heard this, he turned around and rushed to the bank of the Lechuan River without saying a word, wanting to go out of the ghost domain to the Nine Heavens.

Nan Xiu looked at his pale face, the back of leaving in a slight hurry, and the corners of his lips hooked up a sly smile.

More than 10,000 years ago, Fengyang went to the Liusi Mansion to inquire if there was a fox demon husband when Emperor Jianhe was in the world, and soon after that, he heard that there was a fox demon monarch who made trouble in the heavenly court.

Although Nan Xiu had not met with Qiu Ye before, he learned that Emperor Jin He had gone to the Heavenly Prison to visit the Xuanhu Demon Monarch, so he guessed that they should know each other.

"Nine Heavens, it's finally going to be lively." Nan Xiu couldn't help but sneer.

The world, the country of Yin.

Tomorrow is the Hundred Flowers Festival of the Autumn Festival, and both the palace and the people are preparing with all their hearts to welcome the Autumn Flower Festival.

Xi Ci got up early in the morning to help the servants decorate the mansion, just so that the atmosphere in the mansion could look like a festival, otherwise it would be too deserted and incompatible with the bustling street scene.

It is said that the Taishi never bothered to do this kind of thing, and the servants took the initiative to mention it, and after asking the Taishi to get the answer, he arranged it himself.

Xi Ci followed the servants and moved a few pots of chrysanthemums to the hall, the autumn was getting stronger, she rubbed her hands and muttered: "It has always been the spring warmth and flowers blooming, and the autumn butterflies are all frozen feet, how can there be a hundred flowers blooming?" ”

The servant Wangcai arranged the direction of the flowers, straightened up and said with a smile: "You don't know anything, spring flowers are gorgeous, autumn flowers are unique, chrysanthemums and osmanthus are a must in autumn; Thousands of orchids do not leave autumn, it is for the two uniques, and the three uniques are a hundred flowers competing for beauty, each with its own merits......"

Listening to the servant's gushing introduction, Xi Ci nodded half-understanding and half-understanding, the general meaning should be that these flowers are in full bloom in autumn, very beautiful, not that there are hundreds of flowers blooming together.

According to the experience of Xi Ci who has lived for more than 10,000 years, the gods are not festivals, on the contrary, it is the human race who treats them as festivals.

Thinking of this, Xi Ci touched his nose stupidly: "When will I be able to become a festival for thousands of people to worship and worship." ”

Wangcai smiled, thought about it for her very seriously, and said, "Probably...... It's been a long time since you're dead, right? ”

Hearing this, Xi Cixiu frowned: "That's too much price, right?" ”

Wangcai spread his hands helplessly: "When a person dies for a hundred years, future generations will hold a ceremony to worship their ancestors, but that is also only available to large families, and we don't dare to think so far." ”

Xi Ci suddenly became surprised, but as the deceased to be worshiped every year, it seems to be admired, but in fact it is useless, because the deceased was reincarnated in another family early, and if the god is worshiped by ten thousand people and the incense is continuous, he can be successfully promoted to honor.

She spread her hands and said with a helpless dry smile: "Hehe, I prefer a hundred generations to be in the same hall than the ancestor worship ceremony." ”

After saying that, he suddenly remembered that several of the treasured horses in the stable were still hungry, and Xi Ci immediately straightened his sleeves and walked in the direction of the stable.

She took the amount of concentrate and put it into the trough, and just as she was busy for a while, looking up to greet the horse, she noticed that a black steed was missing.

"One, two, three...... Huh? Xi Ci scratched his head, remembering that he had counted last night, it was four horses, could it be that Xiao Hei ran out in the middle of the night and forgot to go home?

Just when she was at a loss, when she was thinking about whether to go out to have a look, Wangcai, who was passing by with a wooden barrel, suddenly remembered something and shouted to her: "Hey, Xici, I forgot to tell you that the Taishi led the black horse out this morning." ”

"Huh?" On weekdays, I enter the palace as a chariot, why do I ride a horse on a whim today? Xi Ci looked puzzled.

"Today, the royal family has an autumn ceremony in the Ten Thousand Beasts Enclosure, and it is estimated that the Taishi will come back very late." Although the Taishi is rarely in the house, as a domestic servant, he is still very worried about the safety of his master.

Usually it's not early, but when is it later? I'd like to have a good discussion with him about casting the diagram again.

Thinking of this, Xi Ci suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Oh......"

At this moment, a domestic servant ran over from outside and shouted to Xi Ci from a distance: "Xi Ci, Xi Ci!" ”

"Hey!" She looked up and replied listlessly.

The servant ran to her, bent over, put his hands on his knees, and gasped: "King, the king has summoned you to the Ten Thousand Beasts Enclosure Qiuqiu, and the temple people are already waiting at the gate outside the mansion!" ”

"Me? Autumn Fall? Xi Ci looked incredulous and pointed to his nose.

The servant nodded breathlessly and said, "Yes, the temple people in the palace are waiting at the door, hurry up!" ”

How could the royal family call themselves? If it had been arranged, Shen Zhou would not have been able to enter the palace alone this morning, and it should have been the king's temporary intention.

Xi Ci helplessly patted the ash on his hand and said, "I'll go over now." ”

Wangcai looked at the back of Xi Ci leaving with a little worry, and thought: The king shouldn't have taken a fancy to her, right? The Taishi has always been careful in his calculations, but he spent a hundred taels of gold to redeem her, which can be regarded as a treasure, and there is a separate side room, which can be eaten at the table, but it is not treated like a real maidservant!

The other servant seemed to see through Wangcai's thoughts, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and then shook their heads.

The Kingdom of Yin, in the palace......

Yan Mo fiddled with the bow and arrow in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at the Shen Zhou beside him, thinking about something in his heart.

After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, and smiled at Shen Zhou: "This autumn, I also invited the envoys of Qu to go together, although all preparations have been made, but every year is blindly riding and shooting, which makes the hunt seem a little boring." ”

Shen Zhou raised his eyes slightly, and said softly: "Then what does Your Majesty mean, do you want to change the rules of hunting?" ”

"In the past, only men participated in the hunt, but this time it is also allowed to participate in the courtiers' daughters to liven up the atmosphere!" A sly smile crossed Yan Mo's eyes, and he took it back without a trace.

Shen Zhou's eyebrows, hidden under half of his face, raised slightly, as if he had guessed his intentions, but he didn't pierce it: "Minister, just give the order." ”

Hearing that Shen Zhou agreed so simply, for fear that he would play word games, Yan Mo deliberately added: "Although there are no female dependents in the Taishi Mansion, I remember that there is a servant girl who is good at riding and shooting, right?" ”

Shen Zhou was weak, and said with a straight face: "Being good at riding and shooting is just boasting, which makes Your Majesty laugh." ”

"It's okay, let's call together, let's enjoy the autumn!" Yan Mo was not discussing with him, but made up his mind to do so.

Seeing this, although Shen Zhou was a little hesitant in his heart, he still agreed, and asked the temple people to go to the house to send Xici to the paddock.

Enclosure of all beasts.

The courtiers who participated in the hunt all went to the enclosure with Yan Mo first, waiting for the people of the palace temple to bring the daughters of the courtiers.

The school hunting grounds have been expanded, all the hunting needs are available, and the flag has been hoisted.

The convoy has also been divided into all corners of the hunting ground to ensure the safety of His Majesty, and only then to the courtiers.

Seeing that the ladies of the courtiers were late, Yan Mo was more and more looking forward to the arrival of Xi Ci.

After a while, a bright shadow came into everyone's sight, and she was dazed and surprised, like a deer that had broken into a strange situation, looking around vigilantly.

Shen Zhou saw that she was at a loss in the crowd, so he called: "Xi Ci! ”

Hearing the familiar call, Xi Ci hurriedly glanced in the direction where the voice came from, saw a familiar figure, and immediately lifted his skirt and ran with a happy eyebrow: "Taishi!" ”

Yan Mo on the side saw Shen Zhou's eyes gradually becoming gentle, and looked straight at Xi Ci running towards him, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Xi Ci saw that Yan Mo was also there, so he bowed respectfully two feet away.

Yan Mo nodded to her reluctantly: "Flat." ”

After Xi Ci got up, he carefully moved to Shen Zhou's side, unconsciously tugged at his sleeve, and said happily: "Taishi~"

"You're going to get on your horse and shoot in a moment, are you sure?" Although Shen Zhou seemed to be unstable on the surface, he was secretly worried in his heart, after all, the mortal body was not as good as before.

Xi Ci patted his chest with an oath and said, "That's nature, Taishi can rest assured!" ”

The two envoys of the Qu Kingdom had gone to choose the horses to be used later, and when they returned, they saw that everyone seemed to be pointing and whispering at a certain place, and they also looked over.

Lord Shen was suddenly a little surprised, wasn't the young girl beside the Taishi the fairy in the painting he saw on the folk street?

Lord Fang patted Lord Shen beside him with a look of surprise and said, "Lord Shen, have you seen it?" That woman seems to look eight or nine points similar to the wisteria fairy! ”

"Look, I see." Lord Shen nodded slightly embarrassedly, originally wanted to secretly arrange to present a beauty to King Qu, but he never thought that it was the family of the courtiers of the State of Yin.

"If the king is here, he will definitely be happy!" Lord Fang also knew King Qu's preferences, but if he thought about it, this woman could appear here, even if it was the family of a courtier.

Lord Fang immediately shook his head with a light smile, and patted Lord Shen's shoulder: "Get ready, let's get ready!" ”

The hunting of the Son of Heaven must be to drive the beast on three sides, and open one side in front.

Hares, pheasants, foxes are the majority, followed by wild deer and wild boars, and tigers, wolves, bears and leopards are very few because they are too dangerous.

In Gufeng Mountain, they were hunting in the form of waiting for rabbits, but in Danxue Mountain, it was a serious riding and shooting, and the birds and beasts there were much more terrible than jackals, tigers and leopards.

Xi Ci prepared enough arrows, and immediately prepared to ride an ordinary little white horse prepared in advance by the temple people for the families of various courtiers.

Shen Zhou on the side led his black horse, looked at Xici's little white horse, was silent for a moment, and said, "That horse is not familiar with you, you can ride it!" ”

"Blackie!" Hearing this, Xi Ci hugged the horse that he had been feeding for a while in surprise, and then turned his head and said, "What about the Taishi?" ”

"I often stay in the palace, and I know your horse well." As he spoke, he led the little white horse beside Xi Ci.

However, the little white horse's eyes when he looked at Shen Zhou were full of strangeness, but he had to go with him.

Xi Ci, who believed it to be true, rode on the black horse very smoothly, turned his head to look at the sinking boat on the white horse, and his eyes were full of gratitude and admiration.

The people around couldn't help but be attracted by Xici's prosperous beauty, and looked at her from time to time.

Seeing that Shen Zhou took the initiative to exchange horses with Xi Ci, Yan Mo suddenly felt a little sullen in his heart, he glanced at everyone and rode out of the ranks.

Usually he would say a few more polite words, but today he was suddenly unhappy, which was a happy picture, because his expression at the moment seemed slightly serious.

Then he shouted dryly, "Go," and then he rode his horse first, and the trumpet sounded immediately, and the drums were deafening, and the rest of the people followed.

Xi Ci and Shen Zhou looked at each other for a moment, and slowly followed......
