Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Temple of the Priests

The lord of the country and the princess passed away together, and Huiyu City, from the nobles of the family to the poor people, all fell into mourning.

Feifei's body was forever sleeping in the desert, and the Great Vulture Clan expressed great dissatisfaction with the unexplained death of their king, and quarreled with several major families of the Yu Clan. The princess is also dead, the succession to the throne is still undecided, and there are many things that need to be solved urgently.

In this chaotic atmosphere, only the princess's funeral was held in order, and the hustle and bustle of Huiyu City officially made people feel a little sad.

Bai Yu and Fan Xiaotan, as the children of the Yu family, have been very busy these days, and they have to come forward to explain, appease the upper and lower levels, and win vested interests for their respective camps, and only on the day of the princess's funeral can they stay peacefully for a while.

Sixteen white horses wrapped in plain clothes, slowly pulling the princess's exquisite and tall coffin out of the city, and the funeral team composed of five hundred scholars followed, holding high the prayer flags unique to the Yu clan, or sending the princess on the last journey with true or false intentions.

There were low sobs among the people, perhaps genuinely remembering this noble and virtuous symbol of royal power, or weeping over their unpredictable fate.

When Luan Yan's coffin left the city, it was to be burned in the large square in front of the priest's hall according to the tradition of the Yu clan. The people of the Yu tribe believe that they belong to the sky, and only when they return to their homeland after turning into green smoke can their souls truly rest in peace.

The funeral procession was too long, and they didn't go over, but just stood on the tower and watched them leave.

With so many living people sending them around, it seemed as if it would make death less terrifying.

"Princess, I don't know if I'll be lonely. Bai Yu muttered softly, not knowing who he was asking.

Phantom Wu glanced at him, and saw that his always immature side face was now filled with an unconcealable gloom, and his heart was empty.

What do people have to go through in order to grow, but why do they have to suffer or part?

Chang Jue was standing beside her, and Phantom Wu didn't turn her head to look at him, but her heart was full of his shadow.

Phantom Wu knows very well that Changjue has grown, and by his side, he is the one who has witnessed his growth. At the same time, she knows better that her own heart can no longer escape, ignore and deceive herself.

When she heard Chang Jue say "I love you" that day, Phantom Wu didn't go through the suppression of her own reason, and the impulse that she almost blurted out made her really hear her true heart.

But she still held back, and she saw the pair of bone flutes that rolled down from Luan Yan's hands.

Maybe in the end, Luan Yan let it go. Let go of the love and hate of the past, and let go of yourself.

If there was an afterlife, would Luan Yan still choose to meet Fei Fei? What about Fei Fei?

No one can answer this question anymore. And the next life is so unattainable.

I only have this life, but I have more important things to do than love and hate.

Love and hate are too hard, if you can, let love and hate come even more turbulently, so turbulent that you can drown yourself before you let it go.

Phantom Wu slowly raised his eyes, and there was sadness embedded in his dark eyes: "Fei Fei pushed Luan Yan out of the crypt at the last moment, but it was just a heavy and insurmountable obstacle for the two of them to die. One is buried in the cold ground, and the other is about to fly to the closest place to the sun, what a ...... It's ridiculous. โ€

In the distance, curling white smoke rose to a high place, and when it was blown by the wind, it dispersed.

No matter how bright the old days were contained in that thought, now it is a remnant of flowers and leaves placed on duckweed, blown by the wind, and ashes are gone.

In the dust of the world, I would rather love and hate.

Phantom Wu didn't look at it again, turned around and walked down the tower.

Bai Yu sniffed and asked Changjue, "Sister Wu, what's wrong?"

Chang never spoke, just shook his head and followed the phantom.

Fan Xiaotan snorted, looked up at the blue sky, and blinked. After a moment, she took a deep breath and looked at Chang Jue, who had already walked down the tower and followed closely by Phantom Wu's side.

"I like you!"

The two of them downstairs were stunned, and Phantom Wu turned his head and looked at Fan Xiaotan in the high place, she put her hands around her mouth, leaned forward, and Bai Yu on the side looked at her with her mouth open.

Chang Jue did not look back.

"Listen! I like you! I like me or not!"

After shouting these words, Chang Jue still didn't look back, but she didn't feel the slightest displeasure, but bent her lips to look at Phantom Wu, as if she was a little satisfied and provocative.

Somehow, Phantom Wu understood what she meantโ€”what you don't dare to say, I dare! If you don't dare to love, it's better to let me love!

Phantom's heart burned for a moment, not jealousy, but a deep feeling of powerlessness that stung her.

She glanced at Chang Jue behind her, he was only two steps away from her, he was always like this, not close or far behind her.

"She said she likes you, don't you answer?"

Chang Jue's face did not change: "She knows, I don't like her." โ€

"She knows...... Yes, but she still dares to say such things as pleasing to you, and I can't compare to her. โ€

"Ah Wu, you don't have to compare with anyone!" Chang Jue stretched out his hand to grab her, but she gently dodged her, "In my heart, no one can compare with you." โ€

"But, Ah Jue," Phantom Wu raised his face and smiled brightly, "You know, I don't like you, I've always regarded you as a younger brother." โ€

After saying that, she walked away without looking back, without giving Chang Jue half a moment to respond.

Chang Jue lowered his eyes, and his outstretched hand grabbed the air, and all he grasped was the nothingness that crossed his palm.

The next day, there was a knock on the door of Phantom's room early in the morning, and Phantom opened his eyes and opened the door.

"Ouch, it scared me to death, look at your haggard raising, I thought it was that ghost. Fan Xiaotan stood in front of the door and pushed Phantom Wu directly into the room.

"What's the matter? I haven't slept all night? I was hit by my confession?" Fan Xiaotan seemed to be in a good mood, pulling at his phantom eyelids.

Phantom Wu withdrew his head and dodged, "Why is it early, something?"

"yes, I'm not afraid you'll leave sooner. Eh, don't stare at me with that kind of look, I'm confessing, I'm not the kind of person who just talks and doesn't do it, as a rival in love, I will compete fairly with you, but I'm not here to find you. โ€

Rival in love?Phantom Turnoverโ€”Is it so obvious?Is my play so bad?

"Do you think this is the end of it? The Sandman is dead, the princess is dead, and the lord is dead, but ......"

"Something to say. "Yesterday you said it so directly, and today you are going around the bend to me?

Fan Xiaotan pouted: "Don't pretend to be confused with me, don't you want to go to the priest's hall to have a look?"

"The priest's hall ......" Phantom Wu bit his lower lip, there are indeed many questions that he still doesn't understand, the matter of the blood curse, and the matter of the monster, although Lu Li did not come forward at all this time, but there are indeed traces of the priest's hall meddling everywhere.

"Aren't you the protector of the priest's hall, why do you want to dig the south wall of your master's house at this time?" Phantom Wu looked at Fan Xiaotan playfully.

"I, I'm still a person with a principled bottom line, okay? I'm a member of the priest's hall, but I'm also a member of the prayer branch, a member of the Yu clan! If it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't have known that there was a ...... in the priest's hall There is such a thing as raising monsters. I don't want to help the abuse, okay?"

Fan Xiaotan said sincerely, but obviously there was something to hide, Phantom Wu didn't speak, just looked at her.

"You, oops, okay I said, you also know that Bai Yu was originally the next heir of the Double-Eyed Bird clan, and he should have been in the priest's hall originally, but now the Yu clan has no backbone, and it has become a pot of porridge. If I find evidence that the High Priest is problematic, I would be better off if I could get the Two-Eyed Bird to sit on the priesthood again. Fan Xiaotan was moved when he saw Phantom Wu, and added: "I always feel that if you follow Lu Li, sooner or later you will die a miserable death." โ€

Fan Xiaotan had a rare serious face, and Phantom Wu looked at her and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Phantom Wu propped his chin and poured himself a cup of tea: "Are you also afraid of death?"

Fan Xiaotan didn't expect her to ask like this, and choked for a moment, "I don't know, if you die suddenly, it's okay if you don't have time to be afraid." But if you wait for death slowly, you will always be afraid, if you want to die, you will die, I am afraid of painful death, death in vain, or death with regret and regret. If there is nothing left before I die, I am not afraid. โ€

Phantom Wu shook the teacup gently, saw his own reflection in the teacup, and smiled bitterly: "You are always more thorough than me." โ€

"It's good that you know. Fan Xiaotan smiled proudly, snatched the teacup in Phantom Wu's hand, and poured it himself.

"Okay, I'll go. I also promised Bai Yu to meet that Lu Li. โ€

"Tsk, you give face like this, why don't I tell you one more thing. Fan Xiaotan winked mischievously at her.

"If you have something, just say, don't discharge indiscriminately. โ€

Fan Xiaotan sneered: "Your bone flute, I've seen exactly the same." โ€

"Where have you seen it?"

"O temple of the priests. โ€

Phantom raised his eyes: "How are you sure it's the same?"

"Please, who am I, do I eat more bones than you have? Fan Xiaotan glanced at her, and her brutal face was on the line.

Whether it's true or not, it seems that this priest's temple really has to go.

"Let's go!"

"So fast?" Fan Xiaotan was still pouring himself tea.

Shouting out the long term, the three of them went straight to the only magnificent building outside Huiyu City, the Priest's Hall.

Phantom Wu looked left and right: "Where is Bai Yu?"

"He," Fan Xiaotan rolled his eyes, "Hui clan, he has been doing a lot lately." โ€

"Then leave him alone, let's go. Fan Xiaotan followed the illusion who was sitting on Xiao Xuan's back and frowned slightly.

Chang Jue chased after her almost the moment Phantom Wu left, still following her closely.

Fan Xiaotan pursed his lips, and that little bit of doubt was instantly replaced by sour jealousy, and immediately flew over and clinged to Changjue's side.
