Chapter 152: The Holy Maiden (2)

"How can you be like this!" The young man was already young and vigorous, and he was kind to talk before, but now he was also angry, rolled up his sleeves, and made a gesture of wanting to fight: "You are quite unreasonable, I have to go today!" What do you think? ”

The movement on their side alarmed the others, and the people around the campfire all looked at them, and Dou Niang, who was talking to Xu Fu, saw this, and hurriedly ran over, blocking in front of Gu Baiying, and asked the young man, "What's wrong?" Brother Xiaofeng, what is this doing? ”

The young man named "Xiaofeng" pointed at Gu Baiying and complained: "Dou Niang, you came just in time, you guest don't know if it's crazy or what's wrong, I have to invite ......" He turned his fingertips, and was about to point to the woman by the bonfire, when he suddenly found that the woman had come over at some point, he was stunned for a moment, pointed to the hairpin, and said in a firm tone: "Invite her to dance!" ”

Suddenly, the hairpin who was named was confused, and looked at Gu Baiying: "Uncle Shi? ”

Gu Baiying had a cold face, staring at Xiaofeng's face and almost devouring him alive.

Seeing this, Dou Niang hurriedly came out to play a round game, trying to pull Xiaofeng away, Xiaofeng was pulled out by Dou Niang, and continued to complain as if he was not enough: "It's really strange, if he likes this girl, wouldn't it be good to invite him himself?" Why do you go around in such a big circle, our men in Wufan City are not like this, what do you say, didn't you say that they are disciples in the great sect of cultivating immortals, why are they so boring, at first I thought I was going to buy me with a silver bead, but I didn't take out anything for a long time, it's fake, right? Damselfly, have you been deceived......"

The chattering and complaining finally went away, and the hairpin looked back at Gu Baiying, the young man's eyebrows jumped, and he said angrily: "What do you see?" ”

Mendong shook Mimi over with his arms and sighed: "It's really a bit embarrassing. ”

"Shut up for me, too!" Gu Baiying was deflated once, but she was depressed.

Hairpin Star was about to say a few words to make a round, when he suddenly heard someone shouting in front of him: "The Holy Maiden has arrived, the Holy Maiden has arrived!" ”

She looked ahead in amazement, the dancing by the campfire had stopped at some point, and the fierce competition on the wooden lattice had not continued. Those men, women, and children dressed up all held the snake lamp depicting the snake witch totem on their side and ran towards the front.

Dou Niang squeezed over from the crowd, carrying a few snake lamps in her hands, and reminded the hairpin star: "Immortal elders, the holy woman is here, and when the holy woman is sacrificed, raise the snake lamp and kneel down to make a wish to the holy woman, and the snake will choose the blessed person to meet his wishes." ”

Tian Fangfang and Meng Ying also came from both sides, and when Hairpin Xing heard this, he secretly said in his heart, according to what Yinli said in the Imperial Tomb Yongdao at that time, the snake witch of the snake witch clan traded with people, and never gave it for no reason, but exchanged it for the same price. And at this moment, listening to the meaning of Dou Niang's words, this holy daughter of the snake witch clan is like a wishing koi.

Just as he was thinking, there was a crisp camel bell from a distance.

The bell was very empty, as if it came from the end of heaven and earth, and gradually became clear with the wind in the desert. The crowd gradually moved away, and from the depths of the crowd, two camels appeared.

These are two snow-white camels, with no variegated hair on their bodies, and they almost seem to glow in the night. The backs of the two white camels are covered with bright green satin, and the silk is embroidered with golden-red patterns, which is extremely intricate. Behind the camel was a splendid carriage unsheltered on all sides, the body of which was made of gold, carved with snake-like patterns, and the railings were inlaid with blood-red gems.

The royal family of Li'er Country is also very rich, but this carriage in the desert is gorgeous and different from the decoration of Li'er Country, with a kind of wild and flamboyant beauty, different from the exquisite repair of the royal family of Li'er Country, at first glance it looks like a nouveau riche is piled up randomly, and if you look closely, there is a kind of ghostly and gorgeous beauty.

The people of Wufan City rushed frantically towards the carriage, saying all kinds of prayers and blessings, and looking at the women in the carriage with admiration.

Dou Niang said in a low voice: "This is the Holy Maiden of the Snake Witch Clan. ”

Hairpin looked at the carriage.

In the middle of the carriage sat a woman in a fancy dress. She was wearing a golden gauze robe, and on the robe was embroidered with a giant python in black and gold, the giant python was lifelike, and the snake scales were woven from what kind of material, and shimmered in the night, as if the giant python was walking in her dress. She had long, slightly curly brown hair, unadorned, and just casually draped behind her head. Her face was covered with a thin black veil, revealing only a pair of eyes, which were slender and long, and had a charming and touching meaning, although she could not see her face, she could imagine how stunning the face under the veil was.

It's not much different from the image of the snake witch in the hairpin's heart, and it would be better if you didn't get this kind of bells and whistles float parade.

The camel stopped a dozen paces before the largest campfire.

The saint sat up straight, and the people spontaneously gave way to the way, raised the serpent lamp above their heads, and knelt down.

Xu Fucai found Dou Niang and knelt down with Dou Niang.

The hairpin and his party would not kneel, and the snake witch saintess got out of the carriage, barefoot, and slowly walked to the campfire with her back to them. Only then did the hairpin star see clearly, there was a cane in the hand of the saint, this cane was about one person high, the body of the staff was cast in silver, the crooked shape resembled a snake, and the head of the staff was two snake heads, one was a cyan snake, the other was a red snake, and it was spitting snake letters little by little, and the vertical pupils were treacherous.

The surroundings gradually fell silent.

The men, women, and children of Wufan City all fell silent, only the sound of the fierce wind from the depths of the desert blew the fire slightly swaying. The cyan snake seemed to open its mouth, and suddenly, all the fires were extinguished except for the bonfire in front of the holy woman.

Heaven and earth were instantly immersed in darkness.

Hairpin Xing's hand pressed tightly against the flower stick at her waist, and Mimi rubbed uneasily at her feet, she could feel Tian Fangfang's deliberately suppressed breathing, and the tension of the people hiding in the shadows beside her.

In this pitch darkness, the Divine Snake Lamps that were held high above their heads by the people of Wufan City were extremely bright, like countless stars floating in the night sky. This dry and wide desert is lined like a pearl lamp city in the ancient forbidden land.

The snake totems swayed slightly along the flames in the cloth lamp, and the holy woman of the snake witch clan raised her staff and waved it above her head.

"Boom-" sound.

The bonfire, which was already very vigorous, seemed to have some kind of mysterious power, and it grew dozens of times in an instant, and suddenly rushed towards the sky, and in this raging fire, the phantom of a giant python faintly appeared. This shadow is huge, as if it can swallow an elephant, lining people as small as ants, first slowly entrenched in the night sky, and then a long roar, riding the wind into the nine skies, soaring light, gods and ghosts are frightened.

And the people fell on their knees in unison, and bowed their heads with reverence.

The holy woman of the snake witch clan also slowly knelt on the ground, placed the snake staff in front of her, touched the earth lightly with her forehead, and chanted words in her mouth.

After a while, the bonfire gradually calmed down, and the shadow of the snake hovering over the desert disappeared, and the saint stood up again, and the red tongue of the snake staff spat out the snake letter, and all the bonfires that had been extinguished were lit again.

The hairpin looked at the snake lamp in his hand, which seemed to have been exhausted of some kind of strength, and at some point, it had been extinguished.

The two snow-white camels squealed softly. The saint withdrew her cane, walked back to the carriage, got into it, and said not a word from beginning to end. With no one to pull the rope or a command, the two camels turned around and went back in the direction they had been going, as if they had known where they were going.

The hairpins did not kneel down to pray for blessings, nor did they call out to stop the holy woman, and the snake witch saintess also seemed not to see them, the moment the gorgeous carriage staggered past them, the woman in the carriage didn't know whether it was a coincidence or intentional, turned her head slightly, and looked at Gu Baiying on the side.

Gu Baiying stared at her lightly.

She watched for a long time, until it was too far away, and then she looked back, and disappeared at the end of the desert with the ornate carriage.

For some reason, a bad premonition suddenly floated in Hairpin Star's heart.

On the other hand, Dou Niang and Xu Fu rubbed their knees and stood up, looking at the hairpins, Dou Niang smiled: "The fairy elders are scared, right?" Just now the fire is the divine snake, the holy maiden sacrifice, the appearance of the divine snake, will bless Wufan City in the coming year, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Meng Ying opened her mouth and asked, "Why are you holy daughters of the Snake Witch Clan covered with veils?" ”

"It's always been like this," Xu Fu explained, "and the snake witches won't let others see their faces. ”

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, it is rumored that the snake witch of the snake witch clan is a person who communicates the heavenly realm and the human world, and it is a race that is outside the Three Realms, and it is natural to be mysterious.

It's just that..... The last glance that the woman took at Bai Ying felt quite meaningful, no matter how she looked at it.

Mu Jiexiao turned his head sideways and asked Gu Baiying in a low voice: "Senior Uncle, the snake shadow just now ......"

"There is no demonic energy, it is not demonic energy, there is no demonic energy, it is not a demon race." Gu Baiying replied.

Mendong's face frowned: "It's all suspicious, maybe we really met the snake witch of the snake witch clan, it's better to see her later, maybe it can help us return to Gufeng Mountain as soon as possible." ”

"But I didn't feel any spiritual power either," Gu Baiying interrupted him, his gaze a little meaningful.

Without any spiritual power, it means that the appearance of the snake shadow just now has nothing to do with cultivation. So how did it come about, does it magic?

Dou Niang didn't know the changes in the hearts of their people, so she only asked with a smile: "When the immortals just sacrificed, did they make a wish to the divine snake?" ”

"Make a wish?"

"Those who are favored by the serpent will have their wishes come true tonight." She replied with a smile.
