Chapter 10: The Dancing Skies

The bell rang nine times, and the hour had come. Everyone heard the bell and sat down, and the feast was about to begin.

After the master of ceremonies sang the solemn and old-fashioned opening remarks, the mountain owner held the jade cup in his hand and invited everyone to drink together, and the banquet officially began. The table is separated on both sides along the jade steps in front of the hall, and the middle can be used for walking. All kinds of wine and delicacies have been placed on the table, although they come from the fireworks of the world, they are quiet and elegant for no reason, and they are not stained with vulgarity.

It is certainly people who break this leisure and elegance.

Although the banquet is a good banquet, there are always people who don't know how to cherish it, and they are good at dancing with long sleeves. It was Lei Shao who was extremely glad that he was sitting with Brother Lin Wu Ning today, still having leisure and leisure, savoring the feast of Gaomen. Otherwise, if you follow behind his brother, you will inevitably become an upstart who has been befriended, and you will have to change the cup for entertainment.

After a while, the bell rings clearly, and then accompanied by a silk bamboo soundtrack. Wu Ning looked up and said with a smile: "It's here." ”

The footsteps of the banquet also stopped, and he raised his head and raised his eyebrows.

Under the watchful eyes of all the people, the nine peacocks showed their elegant and light postures, stepped on the delicate and exquisite formation, and flew towards the white tower. Its tail is like a long skirt that drags the floor, and its wings are like sharp blades, and the rigidity and softness are skillfully integrated.

On closer inspection, there is a woman standing on each peacock, covering her face with a light veil, her long skirt swaying, undulating as the bird flies, sprinkling layers of ripples in the mountains.

Nine Shu and nine finch, hire Tingting to float in front of the mountain, every time the music is transposed, the formation changes, and a peacock will come to the center. With the melodious sound of the orchestra, the feathers slowly unfold, and the eye spots are full of color, embellishing the entire tail screen, swaying in the wind. This scene is like a fairyland Yao Pond, and everyone who sees it is deeply immersed in it and is fascinated.

Lei Shao was really feasting his eyes, and asked intently, "Do you recognize which one is?" ”

Wu Ning was pleasing to the eye and gently stretched out a finger. Lei Shao raised his eyes and looked, it was a golden peacock. The crown of purple and gold feathers on the head is radiant, elegant and noble, and the bladed wings and tail feathers are seamlessly connected, full of a sense of resplendent déjà vu. After the tail screen was unfolded, a dazzling golden light came to the face, and the visual effect was very shocking. The eye-like markings on it are brown and deep purple, shimmering in golden.

The woman on the seat wore a goose yellow lark feather coat, with wide sleeves and a melodious skirt, which was the same as the golden tail screen and complemented each other. The gold waist is tied around the waist, embroidered with moire on the top, and tassels on the bottom, outlining the graceful curves of the girl. The gold gauze covers the face, the bun is like a cloud, and the golden tassel of the hairpin tail hangs behind the ear, adding a wisp of delicate and agile. The golden magnificence is magnificent, worn on her, but it has become an elegant and dusty rhyme, unparalleled in the world, who else can there be except Shang Yu!

Yimu is always as immobile as a mountain, and the two points in his eyes are dazzling, as bright as stars. Lei Shao followed his gaze and saw that the peacock was snow-white and did not have any variegation. The woman on the seat is also a snow-white feather coat, the veil and tassels are all white, and the hair is loosely tied, like ink-colored clouds, gracefully sliding on a piece of snow-white.

The scenery is so clear and snowy, Lei Shao's breathing can't help but stagnate, and he can't say half a word of complaining, and at the same time, his curiosity is great, he has never seen what a white peacock is like when the screen opens.

Guan Le turned lightly, the white peacock hung his head lightly, and came to the middle leisurely, expressionless, like a girl who is very ignorant of the world, in the midst of all expectations but turned a blind eye, still immersed in his own world, entertaining himself.

With the sound of silk and bamboo, it slowly unfolded its tail feathers. The mesh tail screen is like a plain after snow, a pure white and flawless. The tail feathers flutter in the wind, light and agile, which makes people's hearts tremble lightly. The tail screen is dotted with a layer of spherical feathers that are also white, with different shades of dense shades, like snow falling on white yarn, holy and noble, cold and gorgeous, which can be called wonderful.

The silk bamboo gradually turned high, the nine peacocks spread their wings at the same time, moved out of place, everyone only felt that various arcs were drawn in front of them, and when the line stopped, a pair of five elements gossip appeared in front of them. Eight peacocks fluttered in the direction of the gossip, the yin and yang poles in the middle, and a royal blue peacock stopped in the cathode array, and the anode was red as fire, which was actually the beautiful sunset. The choreography is exquisite, ingenious, and breathtaking.

In the exquisite array, nine peacocks flutter their wings at the same time, step on the high rhythm of the place to unfold their tail feathers again, the various colors of the finch screen are full of eyes for a while, dazzling, with the rhythm one after another, each other shines, like a colorful, beautiful picture, dizzying, can not help but indulge in it, can not extricate themselves.

The silver bell rang a few times to break this beauty, and the peacock closed the screen in response, dragging the long tail and leaving. The long tail is swaying, and the aftertaste is long, causing people's breath to rise and fall, and the mind to ripple.

This finch dance, everyone opened their eyes, no matter what they were doing at hand or what they were talking at that time, they couldn't help but stop.

Until the end of the dance, the surrounding sounds of exclamation and praise are still endless, and the heart is fascinated, and it seems that even the wine in front of him is eclipsed. Even Lei Shao's witty and never-ending mouth was honestly closed for a long time, and his mind repeatedly recalled and described the picture just now, for fear that if he was negligent one day and forgot even one frame, he would regret it for life.

The sunset finally returned happily, falling into the embrace of the long-awaited mountains, and the night was falling, and the candlelight poured out from the white jade lampposts, dyeing the quiet of the years.

At the banquet, people were in groups of three or two, leaving the banquet, and Lei Shao and the three of them had nothing to do, so they stayed in the banquet and waited for others.

Suddenly, a long howl pierced the night sky in the distance, and its mournful and angry voice lasted for a long time, like birds and beasts roaring, and they were experiencing a vicious fight. The movement was resounding all over the world, and it was by no means an ordinary bird or beast.

The elders of the slightly famous sect lords slowly gathered together to discuss what it was, some said about the Dapeng bird, some said about the nighthawk, and everyone had different opinions, chattering endlessly, but there was no conclusion.

Lei Shao didn't bother to listen anymore, so he found another way and asked a unique question: "What do you say it is fighting with?" What is there on Canghe Mountain that attracts it? ”

After a moment of silence, Lei Shao suddenly jumped up and blurted out: "Peacock!" ”

Turning his head, Yimu and Wu Ning had already flown out, and he was too busy to keep up.

Wu Ning led the way to Peacock Township, which was originally a quiet and lush bamboo forest, and many houses were built with bamboo for inhabitation. At this moment, there was gray smoke and scorched wood everywhere, and the people and peacocks fell into a piece, and the ground was in a mess, and Elder Qin shuttled through it to check everyone's injuries. But I didn't see any birds or beasts, nor did I see the two familiar figures.

Elder Qin's eyebrows were furrowed, his expression was already anxious, and when he saw the three of them, he seemed to see a savior, pointed in one direction, and said hurriedly: "Quick, Shang Yu and Yizhou will lead it over there." ”

The three of them looked stunned and immediately flew after them. After a while, they could already hear the movement, follow the sound, and a battlefield appeared in their field of vision.

A lot of green bamboos in the forest are crooked, they have been scorched, the residual ash is thick and the smoke is in the nose, and the icicle arrows are densely spread on the ground, and they are disorganized. The ice picks are densely covered like broken jade, it is naturally a masterpiece of a boat, the arrow should be Shang Yu's handwriting, the golden arrow is short and sharp, and the dark gold streamer flows along the dark pattern of the French seal on the side. The golden light and cold light and fire are blooming everywhere, flickering non-stop, you can imagine how fierce the battle is!

The more the three of them looked, the more solemn their expressions became, without saying a word, and continued to chase forward along the spotted battle tracks, only to see that in the tragic and dilapidated battlefield ahead, two slender and dexterous figures, one yellow and one white, flashed, delicate and tenacious. Shang Yu's left arm hung low, as if he had been injured. The two of them tossed and turned, dodging, throwing arrows and icicles at every turn, barely fighting against a mass of fiery red blood and a red mist all around them.

After the smoke cleared, the mysterious birds and beasts showed the true face of Lushan, with a long neck and huge wings, feathers all over their bodies like fire, and even the pupils in their eyes were bright red. The body lines are smooth and graceful, and the posture is noble, just like a phoenix with a fiery red body!

Yimu reminded in a deep voice: "This is the Demon Blood Phoenix, good at using fire, it is originally a thing of the Demon Clan, and the Tao has been practiced for more than a hundred years, so be careful." ”
