When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone, Lingxi opened his eyes.
Those dazzling and pure eyes like sapphires looked at Yan Yun, who had her eyes closed. She stretched out her hand and gently touched the tip of her nose.
Yan Yun felt the touch of others, his brows moved slightly, he slowly opened his eyes, and met Ling Xi's gradually curved eyebrows.
The fresh air in the morning was a bit cool, the grass around him was wet with dew, and the clothes on Yan Yun's body were also stained with a lot of water stains.
Seeing this, Lingxi stretched out his hand and put it on her clothes. After a while, he absorbed the water into his body. He looked at Yan Yun as if he was taking credit, as if to say, I am awesome!
Yan Yun touched her head and said, "Thank you."
Before the sun had fully risen, she packed her bag and pulled Lingxi towards the palace.
If nothing else happens, they will arrive before noon.
But when she was about to arrive at the palace, Yan Yun looked at Lingxi who was still confused and curious. She was thinking, what if the other party wants to be detrimental to Lingxi?
Thinking of this, she began to hesitate.
Seeing her suddenly stopping, Lingxi couldn't help but blinked, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to keep walking?"
Yan Yun shook his head, made up his mind, and then took her hand and continued walking.
She led Lingxi to the entrance of the hole where she had drilled out. She had some questions for a while. She forgot to ask how to find Su Xiaoyu.
If you just go in like this, you'll probably be caught by the guards.
Judging from what Su Xiaoyu said to her that day, since she asked her to take the person back, it was a decision she made after careful consideration.
So even if Yan Yun forgot to ask, how could Su Xiaoyu forget such an important thing as how to contact her?
Yan Yun touched his head and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If he didn't forget, then he did it on purpose?
She looked at Lingxi and found that the other party was also looking at her.
"Are we going in?" Lingxi imitated her and touched his head and asked curiously, "Then we have to find the owner of this big house and ask them to open the door."
After listening to her words, Yan Yun still wanted to tease her, but when she thought about it again, she suddenly realized.
She smiled slightly and said, "Let's go to the main palace gate."
If Su Xiaoyu really did it on purpose, then her purpose was to let her lead Lingxi into the palace through the main palace gate with great fanfare.
The main palace gate is to the north. When they arrived, they found a large group of people standing near the main palace gate.
There was a mixture of humans and spirits, all with worried and panic expressions on their faces. Following their nervous gazes, several people in gorgeous clothes were standing on the tower of the palace.
Standing at the top was a young man, still childish, looking at the people behind him at a loss in the face of all this chaos.
Behind him was Qiu Heng. He looked at the young man expressionlessly, with a hint of imperceptible contempt in his eyes.
Yan Yun tightened Ling Xi's hand and stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, looking at the tower.
"You two came here to seek refuge, right? I heard that many towns near the Heihe River were flooded. Are you from there?" The young man with big furry ears next to him looked at Yan Yun's big hair. Burden, eyes full of sympathy.
"If you don't have a place to sleep, you can come to my house!"
Before the two of them could speak, the young man patted his chest, his face full of simplicity and kindness.
Yan Yun was infected by the purity and kindness in his eyes, and sincerely nodded to thank him. Along the way, they met people and spirits, all of whom were kind and friendly, which made her realize that the people here are really simple. , very true.
At this time, the side door under the city tower opened, and a large number of soldiers poured out and dispersed the people and spirits surrounding the palace entrance ten meters away.
Suddenly the whole place became noisy. The leading row of soldiers looked up and saw Qiu Heng walking to the front. They swiped their spears to show their shock. They raised their hands and shouted: "Everyone be quiet——"
As the noise faded, the people on the tower finally spoke.
"Three days ago, our noble River God in the Great River Realm told me in a dream the method to save everyone."
Yan Yun stood in the crowd, listening to his words, and couldn't help but feel interesting in his heart, why is this a dream again?
"Is there really a River God in the world? Why haven't I seen him?"
Lingxi blinked his curious eyes and mumbled quietly.
His words were like reassurance, and all the humans and spirits present immediately fell silent and looked at him hopefully.
At this time, the sun shone on Qiu Heng's body, and for a moment, he seemed to really shine like a god saving the common people.
Su Xiaoyu stood beside the realm leader, the young man Yue Chen who was at a loss just now.
The previous realm leader died for no reason, and Yue Chen hurriedly took over and became the new realm master, but it was obvious that he was just an empty frame.
"Your Highness, the Realm Master, don't worry so much. With the Holy Master here, everything will be fine."
Su Xiaoyu smiled softly and raised her eyes to look at Yue Chen, who was still a little at a loss. This young realm master was known to be timid.
Hearing this, Yue Chen nodded, visibly relaxing, "It's a blessing for us in the Great River Realm to have you here."
Su Xiaoyu's eyes fell on Qiu Heng in front of her, hiding the gloom in her eyes very well, maintaining the appearance of a saint, with a decent smile on her face.
"The River God has informed me of the new place. Today the temple will work with the land owner to select a suitable day to bring everyone to a new safe place. We will not be flooded by the water of the Black River."
Speaking of this, Qiu Heng turned his head slightly and looked at Su Xiaoyu, "However, there is a condition for opening a new place."
Hearing this, Su Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat, and the hands hidden in her sleeves couldn't help but tighten.
He didn't say anything, but the crowd and the spirits under the tower were like ants crawling in their hearts, and soon it became lively.
The sudden restlessness almost caused Yan Yun and Ling Xi to be separated. She quickly pulled Ling Xi to her and hugged her neither lightly nor heavily.
Lingxi raised his face to look at her, and rubbed her hand affectionately.
On the tower, Qiu Heng looked at Su Xiaoyu, with a subtle meaning flashing in his eyes. Looking into his eyes, Su Xiaoyu's back felt cold. She knew that at this moment, no matter what he said, she had to do it.
Because she is a saint, everything she has comes from the respect these creatures have for the river god.
Then he turned back to look at the thousands of people and spirits, and spoke loudly word by word: "To open a new place, you must sacrifice. You need a living sacrifice to open it. Use raw blood as a guide to regain a new life."
For a moment, there was silence under the tower, and Su Xiaoyu froze on the spot as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She clenched her palms, her eyes gloomy, and took a step forward to stand beside Qiu Heng.
"Three months ago, I had a prophetic dream in which a girl came from afar to save us from the fire and water."
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Yan Yun under the tower.
This answer was unexpected by Qiu Heng. He raised his eyebrows and followed her gaze.
He wanted to see who could stop this.
