"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm about to preside over the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, father, I'll leave this matter to me."

Pei Jiuzhi still thought that after the report, he went back to King Jing's mansion to find the girl last night in person.

"But the envoys of the Quartet are already waiting at the altar, and the crown prince and the eldest princess are also there, waiting for you."

Pei Chu said in a deep voice: "The Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony cannot be missed, if you can't receive the power descended from the Immortal Continent, those things under the cloud capital ...... It's time for chaos again. ”

"Yes, I'll preside over the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony first." Pei Jiuzhi said.

"I will investigate this matter." Pei Chu assured.

"That girl, I'll look for it myself, and send Xu Ling to send a message to me every day." Pei Jiuzhi said.

"It's not just a girl." Pei Chu sighed.

"Father, be cautious." Pei Jiuzhi stared at Pei Chu and said, his phoenix eyes raised slightly, and his expression was cold.

This means that it is as if he is blaming the emperor for saying something inappropriate.

But Pei Chu was not angry, and only nodded to Pei Jiuzhi.

Pei Jiuzhi is not the biological child of Emperor Yundu.

On the day of his birth, the sun and the moon turned upside down, the day turned into night, and the sky was brightened.

Yundu Emperor Pei Chu followed the light and saw a baby lying in the place where the auspicious qi was at its peak.

He felt that the child was a blessing from heaven, so he brought it back.

Because Pei Jiuzhi still has eight brothers and sisters on him, he took the meaning of the lamp that illuminates the road ahead and named him Jiuzhi.

For some reason, Pei Chu always had an inexplicable respect for Pei Jiuzhi.

And because of the emperor's affection, he doesn't have much fatherly love for his sons.

On the contrary, he has some family affection for Pei Jiuzhi, who has no interests involved.

After all, among the nine sons and daughters under the knee of Emperor Yundu, only Pei Jiuzhi could not inherit the throne, so the Pei family's feelings for him were much purer.

According to etiquette, Pei Jiuzhi came to the altar, including him, a total of seven people, sitting according to the position of the Beidou, and he sat on the main seat.

Xianzhou is the place where the immortals live, and legend has it that there are the most powerful cultivators there.

But the world of Xianzhou is far away for mortals, and the only intersection between them and Xianzhou is-

Immortals will give power to protect the mortal world, and mortals will receive these powers through the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.

Once at the altar, it is not good to leave again, so as not to interrupt the ceremony.

Pei Jiuzhi entered the formation of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony and sat down.

A dazzling light lit up around him, obscuring his form, and he pulled a rune paper from his sleeve.

Pei Jiuzhi has not yet cultivated, and has only learned swordsmanship, but there are several monks in the worldly mountain gate where he practiced swords, and his cultivation is not high.

They can be regarded as Pei Jiuzhi's elders in the mountain gate, and when Pei Jiuzhi returned to Yundu, they gave him some charms to use.

The spell does not need to be driven by mana, and the one that Pei Jiuzhi took out can cast the technique of incarnation outside the body.

Pei Jiuzhi's fingers were a little on the edge of the sword, and the blood spread out, dripping onto the charm.

The rune paper unfolded and folded into a small paper bird.

The paper bird flew out, and Pei Jiuzhi's blood leaked on the paper.

The paper bird also began to change its form, becoming a vivid blue bird.

Now, Pei Jiuzhi can control this blue bird and do things from its perspective.

He knew that the matter of Guanlan Pavilion was strange, and decided to investigate the matter himself.

However, the clouds have been windy these days, and the blue bird has stumbled.

Pei Jiuzhi flew forward for a while, was blown back by the wind, and it took a few days to return to King Jing's Mansion.

Usu's life is back on track, and she feels like she'll be fine with her counterfeit pearl earrings.

She also heard about the loss of earrings when someone came to investigate, but the people above didn't find out the clue.

There was nothing missing from the things handed in by everyone in King Jing's mansion, and the matter was put on hold for the time being.

Because of Pei Jiuzhi's orders, no one dared to look for it with great fanfare.

Usu felt like he had escaped.

On this day, she was in a daze in her room, thinking that she was going outside to find some small animals that were dying and foraging for food.

Wei Li came to her to replace her again, and she was going to clean a courtyard in King Jing's Mansion that had not been used for a long time today.

"Usu, I still want to go out to play, you can go for me, the yard is not inhabited, it's very clean, just clean it casually!"

Wei Li took her hand and said coquettishly.

Wu Su rubbed his eyes and whispered to Wei Li, "Okay." ”

She usually agrees to their requests, and if she doesn't do anything, she'll go out and find something to eat.

"Usu, you're so nice." Wei Li said hypocritically.

She doesn't like Usu, but it doesn't prevent her from saying nice things about Usu, because because of this, Wei Li can easily gain the love of others.

Usu got up, took his tools, and walked towards the old courtyard assigned to Wei Li.

"Let's go! Lin Meng, let's go out of the house to play—" Wei Li said to Lin Meng with a grin.

"I'm going to sweep it too!" Lin Meng was a little hesitant.

"It's okay, I'll let her do it all, I said that I should take care of the yard alone." Wei Li took Lin Meng's hand and said casually.

"Let's go—" The two of them walked away holding hands.

They always said that the Lu steward in King Jing's mansion had some ulterior relationship with Wu Su.

In fact, the reason why Steward Lu let Wu Su work as an errand in King Jing's mansion was very simple.

There is work, and Usu is really serious about it.

Wu Su first swept the fallen leaves in the yard, and she collected the fallen leaves in one place and piled them all under the locust tree in the yard as nourishment for the locust tree.

The locust tree in this yard is very tenacious, and when Usu asked it several times if it was dying, it lazily said to Usu, "Not yet." ”

After sweeping the yard, Usu fetched a bucket of water from the well in the courtyard.

After running the rag through the water and wring it out, she began to wipe off the dusty courtyard door, not letting go of every corner.

Usu's wiping motion was mechanical, and she had long been accustomed to doing things programmatically, until she seemed to sense something.

She is a very primitive demon, and her only instinct is to survive.

Usu was able to sense the breath of dying creatures near him.

The so-called checkmate creature is, in her mind, the kind of creature with weak breath.

She sensed a small bird flying from the air, and its breath was very weak—it was originally a talisman bird made of a piece of paper.

The little bird, which fit Usu's definition of a dying creature, washed her hands by the bucket and approached the bird.

Pei Jiuzhi didn't practice, he didn't know how to use spells, he didn't expect this rune paper blue bird to be so difficult to control.

It took him several days to fly back from the altar to King Jing's mansion.

In the past few days, the attendant Xu Ling came to tell him that the incense maker had been arrested, but it was not the one who lit the incense for him that night.

Is the person who pretends to be an incense maker just to let him ...... with a woman? Do something like that?

Pei Jiuzhi decided to continue the investigation.

He flew to the locust tree in an inconspicuous courtyard in King Jing's mansion and rested for a while.

The divine thoughts that the paper bird can attach to are weak, and he still needs to rest.

While he was resting, he suddenly felt a pair of soft and cold hands holding him down from the tree.

Usu stood on tiptoe under the locust tree, and she noticed that there was indeed a little creature resting on the tree.

She thought that the divine thoughts in its body were extremely weak, and it must be dying.

This means that she has something to eat.

Usu was respectful of the creature that could provide her energy, and she patted the little blue bird on the head.

Pei Jiuzhi was sobered up by her, and a handful of hairs on his head stood up.

The blue bird possessed by his divine consciousness was holding its feathers, and it only felt that the hands holding him were somewhat familiar.

Pei Jiuzhi vaguely remembered that that night, her hand stroked over his chest.

Soon after, perhaps he hurt her, and her fingertips pressed into her flesh, making a few bloody streaks.

It didn't hurt, but it made him more excited.

Are those hands? Perhaps, the woman's hands are like this, just because he has only touched those pairs before.

Pei Jiuzhi struggled for a moment, wanting to fly out of Usu's hand.

But Usu put him on her shoulder, and she said to herself, "Poor little bird, you're going to die, aren't you?" ”

Chapter 5: Five Lights

Pei Jiuzhi admitted that the divine thoughts he attached to the blue bird were indeed weak.

But he really wasn't going to die.

He staggered off Usu's shoulders, his wings vibrating.

Thinking that the little fellow was strong, Usu went back to the barrel, picked up the rag, and went on with her work.

"If there's anything you want to do, you can tell me."

Usu's voice was soft, not because she was gentle, but because her voice was born that way.

That night, the perfumer also rested in the Jingwang Mansion, but when he woke up the next day, the perfumer was nowhere to be seen.
