Regardless of whether this is a new mark or an old seal, one thing is certain - it must be the mark of [Xieyue Mountain].
Although the timing of the mark's existence cannot be explained for the time being, the twin sisters still plan to follow the mark's instructions and inquire ahead before making any plans.
Crossing the alley where the mark is, you arrive at another spacious avenue.
But at this moment, there was a huge crowd on the avenue, as if most of the residents in the city were walking towards the... The direction of the crowd was clearly the center of the capital.
The residents were calling fervently, and the fanatical atmosphere seemed like something major was about to happen... Among the crowd, at regular intervals, there would be residents of the city carrying a specially made sedan platform, and on the platform, there was a
A young girl holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands.
"It feels like there is some kind of ceremony going on...a celebration or something?"
The twin sister was startled by the scene in front of her and couldn't help but stop.
My sister quickly said: "There are a lot of people here. Let's get closer and avoid being washed away... There are so many people. I'm afraid we have to wait until this wave of people passes before we can check the direction of the next mark."
Suddenly, a young girl who was being carried on the sedan threw the bouquet in her hand and instantly became the target of competition for the women in the crowd.
In order to snatch the thrown flower ball, there were endless attacks such as pulling the hair, elbowing, inserting into the nose, etc. During the fight, the flower ball was hit into the air several times - in the end, a slightly fat woman directly
He stepped on another girl's body, jumped up high, and held the flower ball in his arms.
But the moment he landed, he was stabbed in the back and kicked hard in the waist... The whole person flew out and smashed into a house. The flower ball in the hand of the fat woman fell again - it landed on [
At the feet of Ms. Lan.
[Ms. Lan] looked at the bouquets at her feet, and then at the suddenly strange and quiet atmosphere in the air... The women who looked like Arhats were all casting unkind glances at her at this time.
[Miss Lan] blinked her eyes, then lightly bumped her ankle, passed the ball from the middle, and kicked the ball directly back into the crowd!
——Nice!
——She is proud of her footwork.
It’s just that this time the flower ball fell, but no one was fighting for it... Even where the flower ball landed, the originally dense crowd gave way, as if they had seen something terrifying... Dozens, hundreds of pairs of eyes, at this time
They all stared directly at [Miss Lan] who has amazing footwork!
"She...she kicked [Holy Hydrangea] with her foot!"
"How dare she!!"
"I have no choice but to choose her... as a guilty girl!"
"Ah... Even though black and red are also red, in order to enter the [Weiyang Palace], they even broke the rules of [Girl Sacrifice]... How brave!"
"Yes, I don't know who gave me the courage to carry the sedan chair of sin!"
"count me in!"
"Me too……"
There were noisy voices in the crowd, but [Miss Lan] couldn't even understand them. She just observed the crowd's reaction at this time, and she knew something was wrong.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, several figures flashed up at an extremely fast speed. Some held gray robes and put them directly on [Miss Lan]. Some held thorns and stuffed them into her hands. Some held [Miss Lan]'s hands with a solemn expression.
She has stinky feet, take off her shoes...like stars holding the moon.
"?"
It wasn't until she was carried onto a black sedan chair, with people's attention from all directions, that [Miss Lan] slowly curled her stupid hair into a question mark.
Outside the crowd, Kaguya Qianfeng and his party looked at this scene in bewilderment.
"What the hell..."
[Ms. Lan] couldn't help but frowned. It didn't make sense. Logically speaking, when she started to serve as the temporary branch manager, she should have changed her destiny against the will of heaven, and her fortune had turned. Why did she still encounter bad luck when she was good?
"Great Witch Master, look at the appearance of these people, they seem to regard you as some important person!" At this time, [Xiao Zuo] on the left responded professionally, "Witch Master, you see, there is only your car.
It's black, and the other girls are all red, which is enough to show that your current status is very unusual!"
"The night gave me black eyes, but I feel black is very ominous?"
"Master Witch, you don't know something. Black is the underworld, one of the most advanced colors!" [Xiao Zuo] said in a serious tone at this time: "In the Witch God Empire, only the emperor's imperial attire can use underworld."
Black, this is the most noble color!”
"I feel like I believe you are a ghost?" [Miss Lan] opened her mouth, "Forget it, let's see what these people are going to do."
She has experience in parading floats, and she has no stage fright at this time. She can even greet the people on the road cordially, "Hi! Hi! Hi friends on the roof, hello!"
…
"Sister, it looks like a lot of fun up there, I want to go up there and play too!"
Duobao looked at it with envy.
The twin sister couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows, how on earth did this woman appear on the same road as Kaguya Qianfeng... Regarding [Arashi]... Miss Nan, to be honest, my sister didn't know much about it, and she didn't have too much contact.
.
But from the limited contact during the Wu Clan era, I can feel that this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Sister, where are we now?" my sister suddenly asked.
The twin sister pondered for a while, but avoided Kaguya Qianfeng's gaze and made eye contact with her sister... The twin sister nodded tacitly, then directly took Duobao's hand and followed her sister in.
among the crowd.
"Master, they are leaving." Chu Rui exclaimed in a low voice at this time.
"Let's go?" Kaguya Qianfeng just chuckled and said indifferently: "They can go anywhere... Besides, I never said I would catch them."
"Then what's next?"
"[Witch] cannot be lost." Kaguya Qianfeng whispered: "As for these three disciples of [Xieyue Mountain], there is no need to follow them. If they can really join up with Youyazi and his wife, they will work for me.
If they cause unnecessary trouble, it is better to take this opportunity to let them leave."
Chu Rui said: "In that case, why don't master take them down now? As [tribute]..."
Kaguya Qianfeng actually had this thought.
It's just that he has destroyed the operation of Duobao's [Nine Death Skills], and he has formed a certain kind of karma with Duobao. If he adds more sisters Qingyan and Ziyan at this time, and the karma is deepened, he is afraid that he will not become Tianzun.
Before, I could only hide in the [Foreign Battlefield]... I couldn't sneak back to the [Blue Cave Sky].
The person from [Xieyue Mountain] has always been famous for being stingy and protective of shortcomings.
Seeing that Kaguya Qianfeng had already caught up with the crowd who carried away the witch, Chu Rui hurriedly caught up with him.
Someone passed by wearing the clothes of a city resident.
At the moment of passing by, Chu Rui suddenly stopped and looked back in confusion, her eyes blank, "Huai'an...brother?"
Wearing the clothes of a city resident, he was walking with his friends...companions, chatting and laughing happily as they walked, and seemed to be discussing something.
Chu Rui opened her mouth and walked subconsciously.
"Chu Rui?"
Kaguya Qianfeng's voice rang in her ears, and he cast a concerned greeting... Chu Rui bit her lip lightly, and then quickly caught up with Kaguya Qianfeng.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I seemed to have seen someone I knew just now." Chu Rui shook her head and said, "Maybe I saw it wrong... How could there be someone I know here?"
Kaguya Qianfeng didn't take it seriously. Chu Rui had a clean fortune. To put it bluntly, he was an ordinary but good-looking man. As early as when he hired Chu Rui to enter his mansion in [Qionghua Pavilion], he had already
The little girl's family background will be thoroughly investigated to ensure that there are no problems before she is admitted.
"Follow me closely." Kaguya Qianfeng said softly.
"Um."
…
"What's wrong with you?" the friend suddenly asked.
The man looked at the street with people coming and going, as if he was gazing out, "No...nothing, I seem to have seen a little girl next door that I knew before."
"I think you miss girls, right?" The friend joked and said, "Why, haven't you seen enough of so many sacrificial girls?"
"Don't talk nonsense." The man shook his head, "Let's go."
Slowly disappeared, disappeared into the vast sea of people.
…
…
…
…
No matter how weird Sikong Zhaiyue's movements were, Zhao Huaian could always keep up with his speed - which made Sikong Zhaiyue feel quite weird.
As for Mr. Luo, who seems to be the breadwinner of the family... the little old man has nothing to say.
Rather, is it abnormal if you don’t keep up?
In the crowd, Sikong Zhaiyue stopped... Zhao Huaian was only half a step slower.
"Gone?" Zhao Huaian frowned and looked around, but there were so many residents in the [Red City] that it was dazzling, and for a while he was unable to find any trace of the two-headed lizard species.
The little old man's face looked extremely ugly at this time.
Mr. Luo, however, looked at the crowds of people on the other side street in front of him and asked curiously: "Old sir, what are you doing there?"
Sikong Zhaiyue glanced at it subconsciously, and said without thinking: "Those are the priestesses selected for the [Red King Festival]. Every woman who can become a priestess will be blessed by the [Tianhou], and she will be able to do well in the coming year."
Be happy."
Mr. Luo blinked his eyes and said: "Since we are sacrificing women, don't we have to pay anything to get happiness?"
"How do I know!" Sikong Zhaiyue said impatiently and said in a bad tone: "They will come out the same way they got in. I'm not a pervert. Do I have to strip them naked to see if they are missing a piece of flesh?
No? Ouch...it hurts me to death!"
Sikong Zhiyue masked his pain at this moment and raised the sole of his foot... Who knows how there was a nail on the ground, but it was inserted into his tophi stone that had been there for decades, and the pain immediately hit him.
Feet jump to the ground.
——This must be some hidden malice.
Zhao Huaian felt a sudden impulse in his heart... He muttered: "Old man, can you leave?"
Sikong Zhaiyue gritted his teeth and pulled out the nail, only to hear a loud sound suddenly coming from the [Red City]... It was the sound of a bell!
"It's the bell of the [Red King Bell]!" Sikong Zhaiyue frowned and endured the pain: "After twelve tones, the great sacrifice will begin... This should be the first one!"
"How often does it ring?" Zhao Huaian wondered.
"One hour." Sikong Zhaiyue muttered: "From the ninth tone, all living beings in the city will go to the temple. At this time, the whole city is empty... I don't know what you are here for, but from now on
From the ninth tone, everything in the city is like an undefended woman, ready for you to pick... What you can catch depends entirely on luck."
The maid suddenly said: "Did you get the old gentleman's clay tablet at a time like this?"
The old man almost took out the squirt again, frowned and said: "I picked up that thing in the [Red King] Palace, but although there is no one in the palace, there are still a lot of mechanisms. If you are not afraid of death, go ahead...
...If you cherish your life, you can search in the big houses in the city, and you may be able to find a lot of good things... In short, that's all, you wish yourselves good luck."
"Senior, do you want to leave?" Zhao Huaian suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Sikong said like he was picking bitter melons from the moon: "It's useless for you to catch me, I've told you everything I know. Little old man, I'm not handsome, and I can't fight. I only have a few skills in drilling holes."
Besides, it’s useless for you to force me to do anything, right?”
Zhao Huaian said: "Since senior has said that you can't leave [Red City] until the big festival is over, where can you go at this time? It's better to continue together and take care of each other... maybe we can step on each other less."
How many nails are there?”
- Damn it!
Could it be that the nails just now were the work of these old men...which one was it?
Old Man Sikong glanced at everyone suspiciously, but he couldn't see any clues... He pondered for a moment and weighed the left and right. Although he was worried about Sikong Ju's affairs, it was true that he would not be able to leave the [Red City] until the big festival was over.
.
"Do you want to open the secret treasure of [Red King]?" Sikong Zhaiyue's expression condensed at this time, and his whole person looked mysterious at this time.
Zhao Huaian was also shocked. This old man was indeed not that simple.
When he was thinking about how to deal with Sikong Zhaiyue, Mr. Luo already had something to say.
"I think so." Mr. Luo smiled slightly and said: "We came to explore the [Red King's Tomb] originally for the treasures in the [Red King's Tomb]. The adventure is incomplete without finding the treasure. Do you have any tips, sir?"
.”
...Is this so frank?
Zhao Huaian had a strange look on his face.
"In that case, it depends on your ability." Sikong Zhaiyue said: "But before that, we need to prepare some things. As for these two fake [god] princesses..."
He looked at [Xia Ji] and Bai Zhi at the same time. He knew early on that these two were definitely not the serious [God] princesses in the [Red City]. As for how they came out, I'm afraid they would just be given a riddle if he asked.
?
"How are they?" Zhao Huaian asked in a deep voice.
"Maybe..." Sikong Zhaiyue said thoughtfully: "With two impostors on this trip, it will be much smoother... Anyway, let's make some preparations first."
"What should we prepare?" Mr. Luo asked curiously.
"follow me."
…
"clothing?"
Looking at what Old Man Sikong said he wanted to prepare, Zhao Huaian couldn't help but open his mouth - the old man actually dug out a bunch of clothing from the storage items... The same style as the residents of [Red City].
Probably because of the popular styles, most styles are the same.
"Is this the costume that residents wear when they participate in the big festival?" Mr. Luo picked up one and looked at it.
Sikong Zhaiyue said casually: "It's a tradition... Most of my clothes are men, and these are the only ones women wear. If you don't like it, I can't help it. Why don't you go look for it yourself? Are you nearby?
You may still be able to find residential buildings.”
Looking at several women's sacrificial clothes that looked like dried pickles, the maid released a black butterfly without thinking... and burned it!
"Master, let me cut some pieces." The maid said calmly, "You don't want to wear them either."
Mr. Luo smiled and said nothing.
——Hypocritical!
Sikong Zhaiyue rolled his eyes and immediately put on his clothes on the spot.
Zhao Huaian also pinched his nose and picked up something with the Xiuchun sword, "Senior...how long have you not washed your clothes?"
"If you don't have a reliable mother-in-law at home, you don't want to have clean clothes to wear!" Sikong Zhaiyue said disdainfully: "Do you know that some people, in order to survive, don't even mention dirty clothes, even animal dung?
Dare to squeeze the juice and drink it!”
"What extreme survival master..." Zhao Huaian didn't even dare to think about this scene. He shook his head and looked at the maid, "Miss Youye, why don't you take my share..."
"I can only make clothes for my master." The maid chuckled and said very seriously: "Only if Mr. Zhao is willing to spend a big, big price can I make clothes for other men.
Clothes!"
"Do you want money?" Zhao Huaian shrugged, thinking it was a joke, and joked: "There is a way to survive, how about you make do with me and take me in?"
"Okay." The maid narrowed her eyes, "Then it's settled."
--Huh?
——Why is my body suddenly shaking uncontrollably...
