Bai Qian looked at Yaojuan and suddenly laughed: "The high priest seems to be different from usual today. ”

Yaojuan immediately sat up straight, stared at Bai Qi and asked, "What do you mean?"

Bai Qi said: "The high priest is more affectionate than when he first came. ”

Yaojuan asked, "So, I used to be very unkind?"

Bai Qian shook his head and said: "No, when you first came to the village, you were a high god, so that people dare not get close, but since a few days ago, the high priest retreated from the enemy alone, and the people in the entire village have regarded you as a hero worship." ”

Yao smiled and said, "Really?"

Bai Qian nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course it's true, even the king treats you very differently." ”

Yao Yao Zhengse said: "What do you say?"

Bai Qian was interested, walked forward, squatted next to Yao, and said, "Didn't the high priest find out? The king is not good at words on weekdays, but when he is with the high priest, it seems that he has endless words, and in the whole village, only the high priest can make the king treat him like this." ”

Yaowan muttered: "Can you make him lose his temper with me, but it can be regarded as a skill?

Seeing Yaohuan talking to herself, Bai Qi hurriedly asked, "What is the high priest talking about?"

Yaowan lowered her head and asked Bai Qian, "How old is your king this year?"

Bai Qian thought for a while, and said with great certainty: "In a few months, it should be weak, what is the high priest asking for?"

Yao Yao thought of the edict of the Emperor of Heaven, and counted with her fingers, Xuan Xuan has reached the age of a weak crown, every year he grows older, his time in the mortal world will be one year less, it stands to reason that she should feel happy, but there was a sudden boredom in her heart for no reason, she hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Oh, forget it, he is in my eyes, but he is still a mortal who has not even grown teeth, I am an immortal, what do I care about him?"

Bai Qi was stunned and asked in disbelief, "How can the high priest say that about the king?"

Yaojuan said, "What's the matter? Am I wrong? He's only nineteen years old, isn't he just a ......?"

"Is it a mortal without full teeth?" suddenly came a cold voice behind Yaojiao.

She turned her head and immediately covered her mouth when she saw Xuan Xuan holding a yellow bouquet in her hand.

Xuan Xuan's face changed several times, and finally all his expressions disappeared.

Yaowan panicked, hurriedly stood up, bowed her hand to Xuan Xuan, and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Xuan Xuan didn't raise his eyes to look at Yaoji, he reached out and handed the flower in his hand to Bai Qi, and said lightly: "It's picked from the back mountain, you can find a bottle and insert it." ”

Bai Qi hurriedly took it, but Xuan Xuan didn't say a word, and turned to leave.

Bai Qi bowed down and said, "The king walks slowly." ”

didn't wait for Xuan Xuan to go far, Yao Yao slowly sat back again.

Bai Qi put the flowers on the table, looked at Yaohuan very worriedly, and said, "What should I do, High Priest?"

Yaojuan pulled out a wry smile, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Did he hear what we just said?"

Bai Qi nodded vigorously, shook his head again, and said seriously: "It's not us, it's the high priest who said it alone." ”

Yaohuan grabbed the armrests on both sides of the seat and said strongly: "Hehe, it's okay to hear it." ”

Bai Qian looked at Yaojuan sympathetically and said, "But after all, he is the king, and what the high priest just said is too ......."

Yaowan touched her neck and said curtly: "It's a little too much, that, Bai Qian, didn't you say before that your king won't lose his temper easily?"

Bai Qi said that she couldn't help, she shook her head silently, turned around and walked to the table, and continued to clean without saying a word.

Yaowan looked at Bai Qi's figure, her eyes full of despair.

She stood up and opened the cabinet, the dress sent by Xuan Ying was neatly stacked, and she took it out and put it on the couch, staring at it with a headache.

After a long time, Bai Qi came out of the room after cleaning, but Yaowan was still staring at the clothes on the couch in a daze.

Bai Qi sighed and said faintly, "High Priest, please ask for more blessings!" Then she threw the rag into the wooden bucket containing the sewage and walked out with the bucket.

A few days later, the enthronement ceremony of the new king was held as scheduled.

Yaojuan participated in the enthronement ceremony of the new king Xuanju as the first high priest in the history of the Baili clan.

She was more of a spectator than the other participants, only appearing at the enthronement ceremony once, and then sitting in the corner and quietly watching everything go on in an orderly manner.

The musicians played drums and music, and the enthronement ceremony officially began.

Hundreds of officials dressed in court clothes sacrificed to the temple of heaven and earth, and Xuan Xuan wore a crown and a crown, sat in the main hall, and was worshiped by everyone.

After reciting the edict, Xuan Xuan ascended the altar and led the hundred officials to sacrifice and pray, because of the new funeral of the first king, the enthronement ceremony was simple, even so, the enthronement ceremony was not over until the end of the time.

After that, the hundred officials dispersed, and Yaojuan also returned to the bamboo house by herself.

At dinner, Bai Ji brought a few plates of porridge and side dishes to the bamboo house, and Yao Ji seemed to be hungry, so she ate the food that Bai Qi put on the table.

Bai Qi looked at Yaohuan dumbfounded, and said, "High Priest, how long have you not eaten?"

Yaohuan smiled a little embarrassedly, raised her hand to wipe her mouth, touched her stomach and said, "I have been sitting under the altar for several hours today, and I am indeed a little hungry. ”

Bai Qi said, "Do you want the high priest to use some more snacks?"

Yaohuan thought about the hibiscus cake a few days ago, and a sweet and greasy taste came to her heart, and she quickly shook her head and said, "No need, no need, I'm already a little supportive." Then she stood up and said, "I'll go out for a walk, and when you're done packing up, go and rest, don't wait for me." ”

Bai Qian nodded slightly and said, "Got it." ”

Yaowan walked around the stockade for a while, and only walked back when the night was getting darker.

Passing by the bluestone road, when I saw the figure sitting in the pavilion from a distance, I immediately recognized who he was, raised my steps and turned around to leave.

But the man in the pavilion spoke first, "Since the high priest is here, why should he be in a hurry to leave?"

Yaowan stopped her steps, turned her head stiffly, and pulled out a smile: "The king is really interested!" She looked up at the dark night sky and said, "There seems to be no moon today, the king is so late, and he is still drinking here alone?"

Since Xuanxuan Bamboo House left a few days ago, except for a hurried meeting at the enthronement ceremony, Yao Jia has never seen him again.

Xuan Xuan was wearing regular clothes, and he didn't bring other attendants with him, his expression was as calm as usual, he raised his eyes, and said lightly: "Meeting is fate, the high priest come and sit." ”

Yaowan stood in place, thinking quickly about whether to go over.

Xuan Xuan continued: "What, is the high priest afraid of me, a mortal who has not even grown teeth?"

Yaojia hurriedly walked over and sat down.

Xuan Ying smiled, pushed a plate of osmanthus cake on the stone table in front of Yaohuan, and said, "Taste it." ”

Yaohuan remembered what happened before, and she didn't dare to look up, she reached out and took a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth.

Xuan Xuan's eyes were scorching, and Yaowan was like a thorn in her back, swallowing the whole osmanthus cake, but she didn't taste anything.

She wiped her mouth, glanced at Xuan Xuan cautiously, and said, "You shouldn't be angry about what happened before, right?"

Xuan Ying asked, "What's the matter?"

Yao Juan smiled and said: "It's good if you're not angry, you are now the king of the white birds, so naturally you won't worry about me as a woman." ”

Xuan Xuan said: "When you say this, I remember that when the high priest was in the bamboo house, he said a few words related to this king, as if he also said that this king is ....... ”

Yaojuan, who was still smiling a moment ago, immediately cried and said with a sad face: "Don't say it, I said the wrong thing, say it, what do you want?"

Xuan Xuan suddenly approached Yaohuan, almost against her face and said, "What do you think?"

Yaohuan was startled, quickly stood up and stepped aside, calmed down, and said with wide eyes: "You don't want to hit me, do you?"

Xuan Xuan smiled: "I'm a mortal, you're an immortal, are you still afraid that I will beat you?"

Yao Juan said: "It's because you are a mortal that I am even more afraid, if I am a goddess, if I am beaten by a mortal, I will not have the face to mix in the god realm in the future." ”

Xuan Xuan said: "You sit down, I won't beat you." ”

Hearing this, Yaohuan stepped forward and sat down again, and after a long time, she pointed to the osmanthus cake on the table and asked, "Do you like to eat this?"

Xuan Xuan nodded and said, "What do you think?"

Yaowan didn't see the hopeful look in Xuan Ying's eyes, and frowned and commented: "It's good, but it's a little too sweet." "Also, she's very strong now, and she can't eat any delicious things.

Xuan Xuan said, "I thought you would like it. He paused and said, "I made it myself." ”

Yao Yao hurriedly smiled: "This osmanthus cake tastes very good, but I ate it before, and I can't bear it." ”

Xuan Xuan looked at Yao Juan and said, "Since the high priest likes it, bring them back and eat them slowly." ”

Yaowan responded: "Okay, I'll bring it back to Bai Qi to eat, Bai Qi also likes to eat osmanthus cake." ”

Xuan Ying smiled dumbly, and then his expression returned to his original state, poured a cup of fruit syrup into the bamboo cup, handed it to Yaohuan and said, "This is also delicious." ”

Yaowan took it and said, "Thank you." ”

She put the bamboo cup to her lips and took a sip, and her mouth was really sweet and mellow: "It's very delicious." ”

Xuan Xuan said, "You have been to Baili for so long, have you ever been to the moon viewing platform?"

Yaohuan put down the fruit pulp and stared at Xuan Xuan with a serious face: "What is that place?"

Xuan Xuan said: "It is the closest place to the moon in the mortal realm, on the mountain behind the white bird, and from here, the kung fu of two or three teas will also arrive." ”

Yaowan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Sounds good, let's go and take a look?"

With a smile on his face, Xuan Ying pointed to it and said, "There is no moon tonight." ”

Yaohuan said to herself: "This Wangshu, where did he die?"

Xuan Xuan asked, "What did you just say?"

Yao Wan hurriedly replied, "It's nothing, let's go back tomorrow night." ”

Xuan Xuan glanced at a brown robe not far from the pavilion, and knew that it was the attendant who came to look for him, so he got up and said, "I'm tired today, and I have to go to the temple tomorrow to worship my ancestors, so you can rest early." ”

Yao Wan responded, still sitting in place and looking at Xuan Xuan with a smile.

Xuan Ying looked at her and said, "Do you want me to send you back?"

Yao Yao hurriedly stood up, shook her head and said, "No need, I'll go back." ”

On the second day, it was originally planned that the new king and hundreds of officials would go to Zongmiao to worship their ancestors, but before they set off, the war report of the Baili border tribe came: Wang Shuziyan set off a rebellion on the border and had annexed three or four old tribes of the Baili tribe one after another.

Yaohuan knew that there would always be such a day, but she never thought that this day would come so quickly.

Hearing that the team that went to the sacrifice had not yet come out of the white oriole and turned back, Yaohuan went to the main hall to take a look.

Xuan Ying's attendants stopped her outside the main hall and said, "The king and the ministers are discussing military affairs inside, and the high priest is asked to stop. ”

Yaowan frowned and said in a deep voice: "You dare to stop me?"

The attendant said unhurriedly: "It was specially ordered by the king, and the high priest is asked not to blame." ”

Yaohuan was shocked: "He told you to stop me?"

The attendant saluted and said, "Yes, the king is afraid that he will not have time to see the high priest today, so the high priest should go back and rest." ”

Yaohuan's heart was full of questions, and when she turned to leave, she kept thinking in her heart: "Why did he stop me? Could it be that what he told me that day was true, and he really planned to do it?"

After Yaohuan returned to the bamboo house, she sent Bai Qi to the outside of the main hall to inquire about the news.

On the second day of Xuan's accession to the throne, there was a rebellion in the country, which was undoubtedly a huge test for him.

And the situation of this battle is also more dangerous than Xuan Xuan predicted before, at this time Xuan Xuan stopped her outside the hall, obviously not wanting her to interfere in this matter.

When Bai Qi came back, he said that after discussing with several highly respected ministers, Xuan Xuan decided to drive the expedition in person and personally lead the army to conquer Ziyan.

Yao Yao asked: "This personal expedition is very dangerous, isn't there anyone in the clan to persuade him?"

Bai Qian shook his head and said: "It's too late, the edict of the king's personal expedition has been issued, and the armies from all walks of life will come to join the king's army as soon as they receive the edict. ”

Yaojuan asked, "Then he is gone, what about the affairs of the clan?"

Bai Qi replied: "It seems to have been entrusted to several old ministers and the prince of Xuanyu." ”

Yao Wan said helplessly: "I really don't understand, what does he think." ”

Bai Qi persuaded: "The high priest doesn't have to worry too much, Prince Xuanxuan is very intelligent, and he will definitely be able to return with a big victory." ”

Yaohuan sighed: "I hope so." ”

It was night, the moonlight was very good, but Yaojuan had no intention of watching, Xuanyu and the ministers were still discussing in the hall, the hall was brightly lit, when Yaojuan was outside the hall, she saw the waiters going in and out, and added lamp oil several times.

waited outside the hall until the end of the hour, but no one came out, so Yaohuan had to go back to the bamboo house by herself.

When lying on the couch, Yaohuan was so worried that she couldn't sleep at all, she tried to think of many ways to dissuade Xuanxuan, and overturned it again and again, until she couldn't open her eyes tiredly.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xuan Xuan set out on an expedition.

Yaowan had a strange dream at night, and after being awakened by the sound of earth-shattering drums, she hurriedly dressed and ran out of the bamboo house, when the army had already left Baili.

Yaowan looked at the back of Xuanxuan leaving, and sighed, but what kept flashing in her mind was the strange dream last night.

In the dream, she stood on a wasteland, with no road or anyone in front of her, but the sound of flags and drums and shouts was endless, and the sound was suddenly far away, as if it came from the sky, and suddenly it was close at hand, as if it was in her ears.

She couldn't see the direction, couldn't find a way out, and kept spinning in circles. Suddenly, a face appeared in front of her, which startled her, and when she looked at it, she couldn't see it clearly.

Immediately after, an unusually heavy voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "Who are you?"

Yaojuan replied, "The goddess Yaojuan." ”

The voice said, "No, think about it again. ”

Yaojuan hugged her head and said with a painful expression: "I am Yaojuan, the goddess of the divine realm.

The voice suddenly laughed, the laughter was harsh and desolate, bringing infinite despair, as soon as Yaohuan heard his laughter, she had a splitting headache, she squatted on the ground, holding her head tightly with both hands, and resisted his laughter with a spell, and after a long time, the laughter in her ears like a magic sound gradually disappeared.

She gritted her teeth and stood up, but she couldn't find him, and she shouted, "Who the hell are you?"

That face appeared again, and in the dark, Yaowan vaguely saw his lips closing one by one, as if speaking: "I am the person you have been waiting for for a long time, and in the same way, I am also waiting for you, waiting for you for a long time." ”

Yaowan looked around in horror and said, "Who are you?

The man did not answer.

Yaojuan calmed down, thought for a moment, and cast a spell on the face floating in the air, which immediately turned into a cloud of black gas.

She took a breath, and the black gas gathered again, and the face reappeared in front of Yaojuan.

Yaohuan gasped, her legs trembling.

This black qi gathers into a form, and if it is scattered, it will be zero, even if she cultivates for tens of thousands of years, she will not be able to hit it.

There was a chill on Yaojia's body, her teeth couldn't stop chattering, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she asked again, "Who are you?"

The voice sounded again, but it scared Yaojuan half to death: "Who am I, I am you!"

Yaohuan stepped back and said, "You talk nonsense, I don't know you. ”

The voice continued, "I am you, I am your shadow, your heart, your everything!"

In a panic, Yaojuan used a fire spell, and the surrounding area was filled with fireworks, smoke rose up, and the face came out of the fire, looking very weird.

Yaojuan was weak, fell to the ground, and yelled at that face: "You get out, I don't know you, you stay away from me." ”

He continued: "It's useless, the Flame Curse can't kill me, you can't kill me, you can't get rid of me in your life. ”

Yaohuan gritted her teeth, sat up cross-legged, and kept chanting the fire spell in her mouth, the two spells of the Golden Crow clan are the most powerful, the fire spell gathers the soul, and the fire spell scatters the spirit.

But after a while, the face gradually began to distort, becoming very hideous, and after a while, it turned into a cloud of black gas and floated in all directions.

Yaohuan opened her eyes suddenly, and the dream came to an abrupt end.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and when she got up, what she saw through Fang Jian on the dressing table was the blurred face in the dream.
