As winter enters, the temperature gradually turns colder, and the north wind on the streets is biting and cold, so the number of pedestrians should be greatly reduced. But today, the streets of the Imperial City were not deserted due to the cold winter. Instead, they were crowded with people. The horse-drawn carriage road in Kangzhuang was also blocked by farmers entering the city. In the large square in the center of the imperial city, countless people gathered, and it could be said that the streets were empty.
Twelve giant mirrors have been placed in the center of the square. Each side is trimmed with gold. The smooth mirror surface is tilted toward the sky. It is placed in a magic array of six-pointed stars. A temporary altar has been built behind the mirror array. Although it was built temporarily, the altar was more than five or sixty feet high. It contained a roasted pig, a cow and a sheep, as well as a box of silver coins and jewelry.
Surrounding the altar were a group of groaning patients. At first glance, there were at least ten thousand people. Most of them were farmers and citizens, cared for by their relatives, friends, monks, and doctors. More than 300 feet away from them, there were crowds of people who came to watch the excitement. The number of people was larger than expected.
The person who pre-approved the sacrificial ceremony was Taitan's son Luo Yuzhi. He was a commander of ten thousand cavalry and an elite major general. This shows how much the royal family attaches great importance to this epidemic ritual. I took Xian Malongqi, Lu Yunfu and Ibesha out of the carriage and came to the altar. The Flame Dragon Knights, Johnson and Samuel all set up defenses outside the altar to ensure that no one could approach the altar.
Luo Yuzhi ran over with a dozen sergeants, and everyone stood up and saluted: "General Luo Yuzhi, please see the special envoy."
I touched his shoulders and smiled: "We are all on our own, so there is no need to be a head bug. Luo Yuzhi
was flattered, but quickly returned to normal, and ordered the sergeant to take Lu Yunfu and Ibesha to rest nearby. Luo Yuzhi said: "The number of epidemic patients in Fangyuan ten miles has reached 11,400, and they have all been brought here today. A barrier has been established where they are to prevent the spread of any epidemic. But the crowds who came out of curiosity The number exceeded expectations, and the general has borrowed two thousand soldiers from the general to maintain order. "
"Ah, the young general is so cautious."
Luo Yuzhi and his subordinates suddenly looked at me with admiration and said, "Sir. "Excuse me. My father once told me that summoning the demon god is a very expensive spell. If you sacrifice so much for the people, how dare you ignore it!"
I exchanged a look with Xian Malongqi. From this, if the festival is successful, my reputation will be high. There's going to be a lot of noise about it, which will be good for both me and Asana. "My Lord, if anything unexpected happens, please jump off the altar immediately. Andre has ordered people to prepare everything."
"Don't worry, there will be no problem." Bi Yu, I untied Ye Xing and Luo Yuzhi even stepped forward to hold it for me. Two beautiful female priests came over and put on the priest's robe and priest's crown for me. In fact, I have tried a lot as a warlord. This is the first time I have presided over a sacrifice. A warlock who has not yet graduated has actually presided over such a large ceremony. I am afraid I am the only one in the history of the mainland.
After climbing to the top of the altar, I realized that the altar was definitely over fifty feet tall. Looking down from a high place, I could clearly see the distribution of the people. When I got to the altar, I happened to find a knight opening a passage among the crowd, and more than thirty large carriages entered the venue. The first round of splendid carriages, guarded by four Shady warriors in green, was the royal carriage used by Emperor George, followed closely by the motorcades of two prime ministers, princes and dukes and other important figures.
The carriage that picked up the diplomats was also present. Ye Lan, Hui Qing and Ke Chen led the three special envoys of dark fairies, winged men and dwarves. There are also many high-level magicians in the Dark Fairy Group, posing as if they are trying to reveal a diorama.
After George got out of the car, the crowd cheered, which showed that his popularity is not bad. Almost all the high-ranking officials in the imperial city were present here. George led hundreds of officials to the side to attend, and even Lucy, who rarely appeared, accompanied Duodu. Under great expectations, Luo Yuzhi at the bottom of the altar waved a flag to me, indicating that the Yuan Bing Festival officially began.
"I command in the name of Yafanti, open the Mirror of Naraku for me!" With the command, the twelve giant mirrors placed in the main square suddenly appeared strange, and the mirrors that originally reflected the floating clouds in the sky suddenly became blurred. Weird stray lights also appeared. Not just the mirror, rain clouds from all directions swarmed in as if summoned, and the originally clear sky suddenly became dense with dark clouds.
Surprised sounds came from the people under the altar. I took a deep breath and lowered my voice and said, "I, Yavandi, summon me as the master. Come out, 'Plague Goddess' Diss!!!"
What happened next was even my own. Unexpected!
Rain clouds covered the entire sky, and no sunlight could reach the earth. A sound of "ping ping ping ping ping ping ping" echoed throughout the city. It turned out that every window and door in the entire imperial city was automatically closed tightly without wind. The gates of the temples in the city, as well as the imperial city and palace were also automatically closed. From birds to domestic animals, they all found a place to hide, and the atmosphere was very strange.
I suddenly realized that Disis is the most terrifying and taboo female demon. When she appears, all gods and souls will retreat, not to mention the ancestors of ordinary people, and even the patron goddess of the royal palace. Close the door and avoid her.
The twelve giant mirrors suddenly emitted colorful lights, which shot straight into the sky, forming a giant six-pointed star beam. A strange image appeared within the beam of light, illuminating the illusion of a female demon goddess wearing ancient jewelry and ornaments, with a golden horn and a silver rat tail. Dissi's illusion was more than a hundred feet long, floating high in the sky. Her beautiful appearance, fiery dress, and majestic eyes made the people under the altar kneel down in fear, and the sound of blessings continued to be heard. Come to the altar.
In addition to the common people, even the "Sorcerer" Mephis, the "Sage" Dodo, Shady Warrior, etc. all had drastic changes in their expressions. As the saying goes, "As soon as an expert makes a move, he will know if there is any." This group of outstanding characters are all magic masters. The fluctuations of dark elements coming from Disis are like overwhelming waves. They already know that they are the real "Plague Goddess" in front of them. Even if you want to cheat, you can't.
Dissis frowned slightly, her lips parted slightly and said: "Whoever invites me to come out, please come out immediately and give me a reply!"
Dissi's words were louder than thunder and thunder, and every word shocked her heart. George and Elsana was also impressed by her majesty, and some high-ranking officials began to kneel down. Ye Lan, Hui Qing, Banu and the other old nobles who originally thought I was pretending to be a scam were all dumbfounded. Facing the real ancient female devil, the Dark Fairy magician didn't even have the guts to take action.
I shouted to Diss in mid-air: "Great goddess of plague, my name is Avanti Radel, I summoned you to quell the plague."
"Hmph, foolish ant, I was born in ancient times. "The Great Demon God in charge of plagues and diseases, why should he help you ants?" Dissi's tone was very cold, causing a cry of panic from the audience.
After coughing twice, I pretended to say: "Great Demon God, please listen to our prayers. As long as you eliminate the plague and protect the people from the plague, we are willing to build temples and build golden statues. "Sacrifice, the incense continues."
I couldn't help but secretly chuckle, this time the Yuan Wen Grand Ceremony deliberately wanted to eliminate the conspiracy of the fake plague, and at the same time, it also pushed my reputation in Diyili to a peak, so as to increase my reputation among Aishanna and others. Weight in the eyes. But the most damning thing is that building a temple and offering incense can greatly increase Dissi's income, which is equivalent to increasing my income. I can't help but chuckle when I think about it. Fortunately, there is no one else on the altar.
Without stopping, I poured the large pile of gold coins I brought into the incense box, raised my hands and said, "Please show mercy to the devil, Yavandi is willing to dedicate everything he has to the people!"
The patients under the altar Everyone sang gratefully, Aishana nodded secretly, and Lu Yunfu, Ibesha, Ning Ling and other girls even looked at her with admiration. I signaled to Hong Malongqi who was under the altar. This guy was really smart. He immediately led his men and sacks to ask for money for sesame oil from a group of senior officials. If Ma Longqi and others put on beards, they would be no different from the Green Forest Bandits.
Fu Malongqi deliberately came to my hostile side. Banu and others looked at each other, but they had no choice but to put all the money and jewelry they brought into the sacks in front of the people. None of the hidden things could escape the eyes of Fu Malongqi. The common people all looked moved to tears. Poor Banu, Hui Qing, Ye Lan and others were heartbroken and shed tears, haha.
"For the sake of your Yavandi's piety, I will eradicate the plague here for you. Remember to keep your promise!" Dissi suddenly sang loudly after speaking, and bags of linen were filled with treasures. The bag flew up into the sky, and the patients infected with the disease also groaned, and their bodies glowed with light. These lights flew together into the sky, and were swallowed by Dissi.
The people and officials all bowed to the sky, and Dissi sang and danced. The silver tail swings like a ribbon. It turns out that the female devil's song is so beautiful, and her figure is also extremely graceful. Her plump body combined with the ancient dance is particularly attractive. It was also the first time for me to appreciate it, and I almost forgot about it. own work. The doctors and monks under the altar were all shouting excitedly. After Dissi took away the virus, it would become much easier to treat the patients.
After the plague was eliminated, the beam of light slowly dissipated, and Disis also returned to the Mirror of Naraku. But before she left, there was a sudden voice, saying in my ear: "Master, please be careful, Sinu smelled something in the city." The smell of two giant dragons. "
Two giant dragons?"
Is the dragon Diss is referring to Rashi? So who is the other one?
Suddenly, I felt bad. I remembered that Rashi suddenly became emotional before entering the palace. Could it be that another dragon was lurking in the palace?
The Yi Bing Festival was a great success.
The success I am referring to is not curing the common people, but robbing Banu, Qila, Huiqing and other cheap thieves of a large amount of money, hahahahaha. . .
After the ceremony, Kirul and Luo Yuzhi were busy arranging for the people to leave. Tai Tan also had a lot of work to do. He said hello to me in a hurry and left. The sage Duodu ran over and said: "Lord Yafanti, thank you for everything you have done for the people. I have nothing to offer. If you don't mind, please accept this crutch."
Duodu held up a crow . The crutch was black, with a large green gem inlaid on the top, and purple stripes on the body. He held it with both hands. Lucy beside him said in surprise: "Grandpa, this one is..."
Grandpa?
The looks of these two people are very different. . .
Seeing that I didn't know why, Ma Longqi whispered in my ear and explained that Captain Lucy was Duo Du's adopted daughter and disciple. He also told me that what Dodo holds in his hand is the "Wise Man's Staff", a royal gift from the Lion King. It is the same magical weapon as the "Wise Man's Fan" that he holds. It can make the wearer's mind clear and his heart untainted. There will never be any symptoms such as insomnia, headaches or mental strain.
"How can I accept such a precious treasure?"
"Yes, grandpa, this is a gift from the emperor..."
Duodu ignored Lucy's objections and just shook his head, smiling with satisfaction: "Sacred weapon It is useful only if it is used properly. Since this rod is called the rod of the wise, naturally only the wise can possess it. Your Excellency has tried his best to save the people from the fire and water, and I am an old man who thinks that you are more suitable to own it than me."
Looking at Duodu's cane, I still dare not accept it. If I are asked to rob Banu, Huiqing and other bitches of their money, I will not hesitate. However, this sage Duodu is famous for his integrity and is a true sage. Call me It was really uneasy to accept the only assets he had. Duodu has a straightforward personality. He handed me this purple-striped staff without saying a word, and then rushed to visit the patients with a happy face.
Lucy looked at the crutch in my hand and hesitated, then finally sighed and followed Duodu away. Ma Longqi and I looked at each other, Dudu was worthy of the name of a sage, and even a greedy guy like me sincerely admired him. But what is the purpose of the crutch he gave me? I would rather it be more practical for him to lend me his granddaughter for a night.
(I got the "Sage's Staff"!)
When I wanted to take a closer look at this staff, I was suddenly attacked from behind. George hugged me from behind and said: "Yafanti, you are indeed my good brother, help me eliminate I'm so touched by this plague..."
"Good brother, you are so touched, but don't wipe your eyes and nose with my clothes!" I looked back, except for George and the two In addition to Diwu, Mavis is also here.
