Murong Yan pretended to be cautious and clasped her hands behind her back. She was clearly walking down the altar, but she didn't show any dignity at all. She just walked down the stairs step by step with playful little steps. He was even in the mood to hum a little tune and slowly came to the "Red Ghost".
"Hehe... yes, I'm back." Murong Yan calmly helped the other party to the side and sat down, laughing softly: "Mother-in-law, actually I didn't know what happened just now, uh... I just heard my mother say "Drink the sap from the sacred tree and embrace the sacred tree. If it is still willing to accept us, it will respond."
After hearing this, the old woman took off her mask and revealed her true face.
But when I saw a woman with hair that fell naturally to her chest like snow, she gently raised her eyes. Her hair was obviously gray, but her appearance was still the same. Her temperament was elegant and calm, and her every move was slow and methodical.
"Lord Saint." The old woman's voice was no longer as dry and hoarse as before. Her voice became as warm and calm as a spring of clear water. "You come with me."
"Ah?" Murong Yan was half-frozen on the spot, her eyes not leaving her face.
"Child, what's wrong with you?" The white-haired woman gently stroked Murong Yan's cheek and carefully took care of a few stray locks of hair.
"I didn't expect that, 'sister,' you look so young?"
After hearing this, the woman couldn't help laughing, and then replied solemnly, "How can anyone speak to a senior like a girl?"
For a few words, the two chatted happily, completely unaware of how surprised and unbelievable the guard boys who were following them were at this situation.
One of the servants felt that something was wrong and hurriedly followed him and asked: "Um... holy aunt, please tell me what to do next? Oracle, do you want to capture him alive?"
"Nonsense!" The woman suddenly yelled angrily, then took Murong Yan's hand and said to her: "I should have thought, how can the woman who follows the oracle be an ordinary person?"
"Daughters, go and call your sisters back!" She looked back and smiled, nodded slightly to Bai Feng, and said: "Oracle, I have been waiting for a long time."
I only heard a few people answer "yes" from a distance, and then the three of them walked around the sacred tree.
Birds stood on the highest branches and chirped gracefully, butterflies and bees sucked the blooming flowers, and the dense leaves spread in all directions, covering up many pedestrian paths. Those narrow forked roads started from the location of the sacred tree, and then He went behind the mysterious bushes and passed through countless places before returning to the sacred tree.
The white-haired woman chose the farthest entrance and held Murong Yan's hand all the way, serving her carefully.
She is very talkative and rarely keeps any secrets in her heart. At the beginning of the journey, she told Murong Yan: "The sacred tree told me a long time ago that one day, the Oracle will come back with the Holy Lady to save the Xianbei people!"
"However, the real 'bloodline of witches' was severed many years ago!" When talking about this, she repeatedly lost control of her emotions and sighed uncontrollably, saying: "As a side branch, I am weak and cannot guide the people forward. Direction. So, I began to secretly plan to tame the 'Saint Girl'. I searched all over North Town for places where the blood of the Saint Girl might be spread, and in the end, I spent half my life, but I still couldn't do it..."
After a while, the three of them came to a simple living room.
The table here is made of polished boulders, the bed is made of raised tree roots, and the door is a hanging vine. The whole room is irregular in shape, wide inside and narrow outside. There are few artificial furniture and only one lamp wick. The almost exhausted oil lamp was placed beside the bed. When the sun is shining, there will be a lot of light penetrating through the gaps between the tree roots, so that the house will not be too dark.
"How did you meet?"
Murong Yan and Bai Feng looked at each other and smiled, recalling the chance encounter that day. It seemed like several years had passed since they came here to talk about everything they had experienced, but the encounter that day was still vivid in their minds.
"Senior, you haven't told us who you are yet?" Bai Feng then raised his hands and asked, "Although I can probably guess it..."
"Oh?" the white-haired woman replied earnestly: "Then why are you looking for Dugu Qi?"
"Sheng Aunt, do you know her?" Murong Yan naturally put her hand on the other person's arm and asked earnestly: "Sheng Aunt, please stop showing off and tell us quickly!"
The holy aunt raised her hand to decline, indicating to wait for a moment, and said: "It's time for them to come, you should get to know each other well first!"
After saying that, Shen Qiongzhi and her four sisters arrived in response.
Shen Qiongzhi had already changed into her own clothes and was about to return Bai Feng's clothes to him. Although she was afraid of the saint's prestige and did not dare to say thank you, everyone could see that she had not turned her eyes away. Bai Feng moved away.
"These are orphans I adopted from various places. They grew up next to the sacred tree. Everything they need is drawn from the sacred tree. I always thought that this would make them saints, and they only need to wait for the oracle. The day it appears, our people will be able to return to a peaceful life."
The holy aunt was filled with emotion and continued to mutter: "It's true that God is not as good as man. Dugu Qi, how many years has no one mentioned this name? I wonder, what do you want to do with her?"
"I am invited by the Zhao family in Yuyi Town to deliver a message to Dugu Qi." As soon as Bai Feng finished speaking, he took out the secret letter from the pocket secretly sewn inside his clothes and asked the holy aunt to read it.
After reading it, the Holy Aunt immediately said with great joy: "Are they finally ready? Speaking of which, we have just welcomed back the Holy Lady and the Oracle, and it just so happened that Yuyi Town was about to revolt against the tyranny. All of this is really amazing. alright……"
After the Holy Aunt was overjoyed, she immediately added: "Young master Bai is indeed very discerning, and he actually saw through my disguise at a glance. Yes, I am Dugu Qi - this was my nickname when I was still obsessed with my personal relationship... …Daughters, please introduce yourselves.”
"The little girl Shen Qiongzhi, pays homage to the Oracle and the Holy Lady..."
"Like the clouds and the moon, I pay my respects to the Oracle and the Holy Lady."
"Xiao Linzi, meet the Oracle and the Holy Lady."
"Uh... Caiqi, let's meet the Oracle and the Holy Lady."
Bai Feng saw that the several women were all outstanding in appearance and had their own characteristics, and couldn't help but sigh: "Cai Qi? Xiao Linzi? Ruyun Ruyue? Also, Shen Qiongzhi, Miss Shen, don't they all have names? Senior Dugu, now you can There’s no reason to confine their lives anymore, right?”
"So, Mr. Bai and Miss Murong are determined to stay here?" Dugu Qi's brows were filled with joy. He almost wanted to hold a grand ceremony for Bai Feng and Murong Yan. He immediately stood up and bowed deeply, saying: " All the people will thank you!"
"This...this matter, I apologize for not having thought it through yet." Bai Feng looked around and saw that there was a red mark on Cai Qi's throat who had hesitated to speak just now, so he excused himself and went over to show concern: "Miss Cai Qi , I just hit you too hard, if you are unwilling, I am willing to be punished! But if you want to stay here... I really can't let go of everything in Yuyi Town."
After saying that, Bai Feng suddenly turned around, bowed to Dugu Qi, and left with a puff of sleeves. Murong Yan also apologized to Dugu Qi and said: "Senior Dugu, if you need help in case of trouble in the future, please just ask. I... will go with Brother Feng."
Yan Dahan, who had been waiting outside the cave for a long time, saw Bai Feng and Murong Yan coming out of the Holy Land one after another, and hurriedly followed him to ask about the cause and effect. As an outsider, he naturally didn't ask anything. In the end, he could only withdraw his troops in frustration and return to Wuchuan. Standby in town.
