Liu Yan received Yu Xian's reminder and quickly ordered his followers to lay out incense candles.
Yu Xian instinctively felt that this matter was a bit deceptive, so he did not interfere and silently got off the altar and returned to the canopy.
Liu Yan took the prayer document and read it himself. After reading it, he burned the document in front of the peach tree, burned incense and bowed several times.
After praying, Liu Yan didn't know if it had any effect. He waited for a long time and looked around suspiciously.
Only then did Yu Xian suddenly realize that as the host of the ceremony, he should ring the bell and strike the chime to awaken and please the spirit of the demon peach.
Otherwise, when the ashes cool down, this ceremony will be in vain.
Just as Yu Xian was about to remedy the situation, a puff of black smoke suddenly rose next to Liu Yan. The black smoke rose and rolled, and between the richness and thinness, a voluptuous and graceful figure was outlined.
This enchanting and graceful woman seemed to be dressing up as a witch and danced a light witch dance in front of the peach tree.
Yu Xian looked numb, he could no longer complain about this "delicious soft rice".
It was nothing at all to have Onihime, the most powerful miko in the witchcraft world, perform a shamanic dance to make a peach tree that had not yet sprouted spirituality obey her will.
You must know that after Zhuanxu gained access to heaven and earth, the only thing that could communicate with invisible things and gods was this mysterious witch dance.
The alchemists, Confucianism, and Taoism that followed were just picking up what was left.
Plus some of Yu Xian’s previous guesses.
If the fallen god in the north of Chishui River was really a female demon, then the Shouwu clan might not have been severely injured and fled as rumored.
They probably used some kind of ritual to please the female slave, and the female slave who lost her mind might have reached some agreement with the Shouwu clan.
The person who facilitated this was probably Gui Ji who completed the ceremony for her lover at this time. Otherwise, when Gui Ji and Wu Yan performed divination for him, he should not have felt such fear from the bottom of his heart.
The Gourd of Fame will not give warnings like crazy.
It must be that Banlan noticed some kind of will of the female slayer, so she didn't calm down anymore.
Yu Xian looked at the graceful woman transformed into black smoke, twisting and turning her body, and couldn't help but become curious.
Is this a witch dance performed by the most powerful witch in the world that can please the gods?
Feel……
Pretty average.
Does it have to be done by Wu Yan’s real body in order to reach the level of pleasing the gods?
Yu Xian didn't know what the other people's reactions were. He looked around and found that not only the soldiers guarding the altar were not looking sideways, but also Liu Yan, who was still sitting piously under the peach tree as if he hadn't seen anything.
Huh?
Yu Xian looked at the dancing witch again strangely.
Although the witch's dancing posture remained unchanged, Yu Xian found it pleasing to his eyes.
Looking at the witch turned into black smoke, Yu Xian even had the illusion that what was thick was clothes, what was thin was skin, and what was fluttering was blue hair.
Yu Xian found this dance more and more fascinating.
He watched for a while longer, with a smile on his face, unconsciously intoxicated.
The dance of the witch seemed to gradually become different, and it was the same as before.
Yu Xian is happy from the heart, and is pleased from the heart.
By the time the shamanic dance was over, Yu Xian could not help but walk out of the canopy.
The witch turned into black smoke stretched out her slender fingers and struck the bell gently, and the bell rang. She struck the chime lightly, and the chime rang.
Following two sounds, a peach blossom petal slowly fell from the air.
Then a peach blossom scattered.
Then, in a very short period of time, the pink peach blossoms on the tree collapsed like a waterfall.
The dreamlike beauty made Yu Xian wish he could be on the altar among the falling flowers.
Then, Yu Xian saw Wu Yan looking over meaningfully.
Yu Xian was startled at first.
Is she looking at me? Could it be because of my laziness?
Immediately he was startled and looked at where he was standing, sweat pouring from his back.
The place where he stood was only a few steps away from the altar!
——He was originally in the canopy!
Yu Xian easily recalled how he looked at Wu Yan like a man possessed and how he slowly walked step by step from Lu Peng.
I also easily figured out why I would be pleased.
Because there is also a god sealed in the acupoint in his lungs!
After the black smoke dissipated, Liu Yan noticed Yu Xian walking to the altar. He said happily, "The Imperial Master is indeed extraordinary. This peach blossom has fallen."
Yu Xian came back to his senses and said calmly, "Zhou Mu's words are serious, and this is not the fault of the poor Taoist."
The sweat on his back has wetted his robe.
Liu Yan laughed and said, "Although the master has the merit of offering peaches, it is entirely up to the national master to take charge of this matter. If any major event is accomplished in the future, he will be remembered as the first meritorious service of the national master."
Although Yu Xian wondered why Wu Yan didn't let Liu Yan know that she was the one who took action, he still felt weird asking Liu Yan about this.
Yu Xian changed the subject and warned, "After today, the demon peach will become extremely huge, and the Jiange defenders will definitely be alert. I'm afraid things will not be so easy next time."
After hearing this, Liu Yan said with confidence, "National Master, don't worry, Qingyi Colonel has already secretly ambushed the troops around. As long as we lure them out of the prison, we can capture them in one fell swoop."
If before Liu Yan scolded Gan Ning and sent him away, Yu Xian might still have some confidence, but now he could only laugh.
After sending Liu Yan away, Yu Xian took a few materials, found a place to bury them, and then naturally went to meditate under the peach tree.
The defenders on top of the Jiange Tower became a little panicked when they saw the huge peach tree continuing to grow.
Even if they didn't know about Yaotao before, they still knew that something was wrong.
If this peach tree is allowed to grow any longer, the reality inside the pass will be revealed at a glance.
After Liu Yan left, Chen Tiao led his troops to launch the first test. The small number of Yizhou troops guarding outside the pass quickly fired arrows at the front of the pass.
The archers brought out by Chen Tiao also hurriedly bent their bows and fired.
There seemed to be a strange force field around Chen Diao, and the bows and arrows fired by the Yizhou Army were offset by a flexible force.
In addition, the defenders of Jiange were in a condescending position. During the first confrontation, dozens of Yizhou troops guarding the pass were shot down.
Chen Tiao was overjoyed and quickly directed his soldiers to rush toward the altar.
The Yizhou defenders were a little panicked, shouting and retreating in all directions.
Yu Xian watched calmly.
These soldiers of the Yizhou Army were indeed a little panicked at first, but their subsequent retreat was quite orderly, and they were probably bait to lure the enemy deeper.
If the Jiange defenders come out to fight, it is something that the Yizhou army can only dream of. If the Jiange defenders dare not leave the pass, then the Yizhou army can wait for the demon peach to grow up, and it will not be difficult to capture Jianmen Pass by then.
Things turned out just as Yu Xian expected. Not long after Chen Tiao rushed out of the pass, Zhao Wei led his soldiers and horses to kill him from the diagonal thrust.
Immediately leading the way was an unexpected figure from Yu Xian.
——Zhang Song.
Chen Diao just wanted to destroy the demon peach, so he immediately ordered his troops to speed up the march.
When Zhang Song saw this, he laughed and said, "Watch me detect the enemy's incoming force."
He took out a small plain flag in his hand and waved it towards the incoming army from a distance.
When the plain flag was waved, the valley was filled with mist. When waved again, the fog condensed into clouds, making it impossible to see anything within three feet.
