Yin Yang

Su Yi shrank back towards Yixiu's back, Yixiu pulled the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "The words of the Holy Son are serious."

Sect Master Wei stood up, glanced at Yixiu and the others with angry eyes, and snorted coldly: "It's just a yellow-haired kid, of course the Holy Son is serious!" After finishing speaking, he led the people of Ziwei Sect to stride over, seemingly intimately He patted Ni Yuansi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ni Shengzi, bro, I brought a lot of people to support you! You have to treat me well!"

Sect Master Yi led the people down slowly, and stood not far away with his hands behind his back, indifferent and silent.Yi Ziang behind him looked up at Yixiu, his face sinking like water.

Ni Yuansi responded with a smile, and then warmly greeted Sect Master Yi.He seemed to be very happy, and his footsteps were a little brisk, and he led a group of people to the altar in a mighty manner.

Yixiu and the others fell behind the crowd intentionally or unintentionally, and began to quietly look at the passing environment, secretly corresponded with the map, and looked for possible problematic places.

Ni Yuansi brought them to the edge of a vast circular altar, and saw a long and gorgeous silk cloth on the altar layer by layer, on which were filled with bowls of grains and many slaughtered For the finished animals, a uniform and beautifully carved cyan jade was hung on the necks of these animals with red threads.In front of the altar, there is a gorgeous jug and three exquisite wine glasses.

Yixiu and the others stood on the periphery of the crowd and watched Ni Yuansi walk up to the altar step by step. Yu Hanyin said in a low voice, "Originally, a priest was required to preside over the sacrifice to heaven, and a priest was required to dance on the altar to pray for safety and success. Some of them don’t know how they’re going to deal with it.”

With that said, Ni Yuansi stepped onto the altar, looked up at the sunlight, and waved to the Haoge clan members who surrounded the altar, holding horns and drum sticks. In just a moment, the heavy and solemn horn sounded suddenly!

Not far away, there was another long sound of bells, one after another, echoing the sound of horns and drums.Standing on the high platform, Ni Yuansi filled the three wine glasses slowly and gracefully with the drumbeat of "dong dong dong", then held the wine glasses with both hands and made a respect to the sky, and then poured them slowly on the ground A long water mark.He picked up the second cup, worshiped the sky again, and then drank it down.

For the last drink, Ni Yuansi slowly picked up the wine glass and handed it to a light woman with a black silk mask and a light body who came up next to her.

Su Yi drew some attention from the color and light of Yixiu's body, and looked over.This woman looked a bit weird, her face was tightly covered by a black silk cloth, revealing a vague silhouette, and a complicated totem was drawn on the black silk cloth.She was wearing a long dress, which looked somewhat similar to the black dress worn by Feng Qingwei, but it was much simpler and the color was not black.

Su Yi couldn't help staring at the black silk totem on the woman's face, studied the patterns on it, and found that this totem was very similar to the one in the stone house in the South China Sea Secret Realm!

Su Yi couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly, sizing up the totem carefully, then lowered his head and found the photo of the broken totem sent to him by Yixiu from his phone, and silently compared it.

No... Although they are very similar and have the same style, they are still different.

Su Yi put away his phone, thinking wistfully, what does that totem represent?

Yixiu saw his action just now, squeezed his palm lightly, turned sideways and whispered: "That totem must be in Haogezong, we will look for it later."

Su Yi nodded, turned his head to look at the light on Yixiu's body, and then continued to look at the altar.

The woman covering her face with black silk knelt down in front of Ni Yuansi, took the glass of wine, lifted the black silk cloth slightly, raised her head and drank it, then put down the silk cloth quickly, without giving any chance for the onlookers to see her face.

Afterwards, she stood up slowly, continued to walk to the altar, knelt down at the top of the altar, and turned her face to the sky.

"Li Daitao is stiff? This is barely a solution." Seeing this, Yu Hanyin murmured.

Ni Yuansi also held the jade flute to his lips, and played it slowly with the simple and vigorous music.

Qingyue's flute was perfectly integrated into the music. The moment the flute sounded, the woman kneeling on the altar slowly stood up and danced.Her movements were full of strength, her wide sleeves fluttered, and the small bells hanging on her sleeves and skirt jingled softly.

While the skirt was flying, Su Yi realized that the woman was stepping on the cold stone platform with bare feet, dancing continuously.As the music gradually rose, the woman's movements became faster and faster. Finally, with another distant bell, the woman knelt down heavily on her knees, turned her back to the sky, and resumed her initial posture.

Ni Yuansi, who was in the audience, put down his jade flute, picked up the gorgeous dagger that was put aside, and slashed heavily at the suckling pig placed in the front, cutting off a large piece of meat.

Yixiu in the audience was distracted.He quietly pointed to the place where only a small spire was exposed in the distance, and pointed to several places, and said in a low voice, "Those directions are the places we are going to explore later."

Su Yi nodded lightly, he punched around slightly, pointed to a building in the distance by the water and whispered: "Over there... is the place where Feng Qingwei used to live and move."

Yixiu squinted his eyes and looked over there, gestured to another building connected by a winding corridor across the water, and said, "The place you are referring to should be the Temple of Sacrifice, and the symmetrical one next to it should be The Holy Child Hall is where Ni Yuansi lives."

Su Yi nodded and said, "The place where Ni Yuansi lives must be well-defended."

Yixiu's eyes circled between the Hall of the Son of God and the Hall of Sacrificial Son, thoughtfully.

While they were talking small things below, Ni Yuansi had already finished saying the prayer.He put the meat back on the suckling pig, picked up the wet cloth next to him, wiped his hands, and waved to the side.

A fire suddenly ignited from the side, and with a bang, all the sacrifices were wrapped in a sea of ​​flames!

All the onlookers were startled, but they saw Ni Yuansi remained calm, standing in front of the sea of ​​fire with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the sea of ​​fire in front of him.

The onlookers immediately realized that this was also one of the rituals.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was finally over.Ni Yuansi immediately led everyone to the banquet hall to enjoy the dinner.

Yixiu and others sat on the same level as Tianxuanzong and Ziweizong.At the dinner party, everyone exchanged cups and laughed at Yanyan's appearance, while Yixiu was expressionless, only drinking fruit juice, and didn't talk or laugh with other people.Su Yi sat beside him, quietly filling his stomach.

However, Yixiu's principles have long been acquiesced by everyone in Taoism. He never drinks, and he doesn't like to socialize, so naturally he won't go forward to make fun of himself.Everyone in the secret service department is also entertaining themselves, very comfortable.

But Yixiu sat there, it was absolutely impossible to completely avoid other people.

After a while, Ni Yuansi stood up from his seat holding a glass of wine with a smile, raised his glass to pay respects to Yixiu, raised his head and drank it, and said with a smile, "Since we met in the ghost cave, we have been separated for a few months. This is the first time I have seen Captain Yi after the ghost cave incident. Is Captain Yi still in good health? But there is still some discomfort? If there is something that my Haoge Sect can do, Captain Yi is welcome."

Yixiu raised his head and glanced at him, sitting upright, motionless, just raised the juice in his hand and said lightly: "It's very good, don't worry about the Son."

Ni Yuansi shook his head and said with a gentle smile: "Captain Yi has helped Ni a lot, how can he not bother? By the way, Captain Yi, why don't you try our own fruit wine? This is made from a large pear tree in the Haoge Sect. Brewed from pear fruit, it is sweet and delicious."

Yixiu remained motionless, and Ni Yuansi, who had known his temper for a long time, didn't think he was disobedient. A disciple following Ni Yuansi filled his wine glass, and he turned to Su Yi, who was eating quietly, respecting him from a distance, and said with a smile: " This is the rookie who saved Captain Xia Yi, right?"

Su Yi looked up at him, pursed his mouth and said nothing, while Yixiu pressed Su Yi's arm, stood in front of Su Yi, raised his cup again and said with a half-smile: "Sorry, he's a little shy, let me represent you." He pays homage to the Son."

After finishing speaking, Yixiu drank the juice in the glass in one gulp and put it back on the table with a "snap".

The atmosphere froze for a moment, Ni Yuan thought for a while, and looked at Yixiu and Su Yi quietly.Yixiu looked at him coldly, putting on a protective stance.

"Ni Shengzi! Ni Shengzi, what are you doing standing there? Come and drink together!" Wei Zongzhu turned to look at Ni Yuansi, looked up and shouted with a laugh.

"Captain Yi may have misunderstood Ni." Ni Yuansi smiled helplessly, and no longer forced himself, turned around and chatted with Sect Master Wei.

Yixiu watched him walk slowly to Sect Master Wei, talked to him, and whispered to Su Yi, "Let's go to the Holy Child Hall to have a look tonight."

Su Yi looked at Yixiu in surprise, only to see his eyes fixed on Wei Sect Master and Ni Yuansi, and said: "Tonight, Wei San must have a secret discussion with Ni Yuansi on how to restore the current situation of Ziwei Sect. The Hall of the Holy Child is very big. Chances are not many people, go and see tonight."

Su Yi looked at Ni Yuansi and Wei Zongzhu, a sense of tension suddenly rose in his heart, and he nodded slightly.

After the dinner, each disciple of the Haoge Sect took them to the place where they would stay overnight.It was a building facing the water, and the utensils and styles inside should be simple, elegant and antique.Looking at the lake from the floating tulle, one can see a bright light in the dark, tulle fluttering in the wind, withered lotus with only slight shadows and a large lake wrinkled by the wind.

A wooden platform protrudes from the lake and connects all the buildings together. There are also several tea tables on the platform for everyone to listen to the wind and enjoy the lake, and then drink a cup of tea, which is extremely elegant.

The people from the secret service were arranged on the top floor of one of the buildings, and they were the only ones on the entire floor, which facilitated their actions.

That night, after a brief discussion with everyone, Yixiu and Su Yi, who had changed into black clothes and black trousers, slipped out of the place where they had arranged to stay, avoiding the eyes and ears and the patrolling disciples of the Haoge Sect, and headed towards the Holy Child Hall.

Yixiu condensed his strength under his feet, not only to increase his speed and strength, but also to make himself silent.Carrying Su Yi on his back, he secretly and quickly arrived near the Holy Child Hall.

At night, the lights of Haogezong were lit up, and a large expanse of water was pitch black, with only slight reflections of waves of light.The water surface reflects the lights in the buildings adjacent to the water, swaying in the breeze, indistinctly, as if another mirror world is hidden.

It seemed to confirm Yixiu's words. Inside the tulle that swayed slightly with the wind, the light was very dim, and it seemed that Ni Yuansi was not in the Holy Child Hall.Yixiu walked carefully through the stone steps, avoided the patrolling Haoge sect, looked left and right, and carried Su Yi into the Holy Child Hall in a flash.

As soon as he entered the Hall of the Holy Child, Yixiu quickly hid in the shadows with Su Yi on his back, and carefully looked into the hall.

However, contrary to Yixiu's expectations, the Holy Child Hall was empty, and there was no one there. Only a few lantern-shaped lights were on, dimly illuminating the space.

After confirming that there was no one in the Holy Child Hall, Yixiu gently put Su Yi down, and the two walked carefully into the hall.The hall of the Holy Child is in the usual simple style of Haogezong, and the utensils are very old-fashioned, making people wonder if they have traveled to an ancient space, and they can be directly used to shoot ancient costume films here.

The whole hall looks very clean and tidy, spotless.Dark wooden low tables and bookcases are placed on one side of the main hall, separated from the hall by an elegant white screen embroidered with a plum blossom.They also saw the jade teapot and teacups on the tea table. One of the cups had its rim upside down, and inside was the cold tea. It was obvious that the owner had drank half of it and left in a hurry for some reason.

Yixiu looked around the hall, and asked Su Yi who was also looking around in a low voice: "How is it? Did you see anything?"

Su Yi blinked, and said softly: "This place is full of patterns...including those floating tulle."

In his eyes, every corner of this hall, including the furniture, is covered with dark gray patterns!

Not only that, but the formation symbols of these formations are extremely complex, different from the formation symbols Su Yi has seen before, the formations in the Temple of the Holy Child are more similar to those seen in Jade Pixiu and the South China Sea Secret Realm.

Yixiu glanced at the bookshelf next to him, pulled La Suyi and said, "Go, go and look at the bookshelf over there, and see if there are any records about totems or Ni Hongyun."

They immediately walked over to the bookshelves on the side and began to flip through them carefully.

Like this quaint hall, most of the books on the bookshelves are thread-bound ancient books.Su Yi looked at the books that filled the entire bookcase in a daze, and took out one to take a look, and found that they were all ancient characters that he could not understand.

Su Yi turned it over and put it back carefully.He took several books in a row, but found nothing.

There are so many books in the bookcase here, and they are all ancient characters that he is not very familiar with. How will he find the one with useful information?

On the other side, Yixiu's movements were not as gentle as his. He directly swept down a large pile of books and put them on the ground, flipped through them twice quickly, then threw them aside, picked up the next book and continued to read.

After searching for a while, Su Yi stuffed a thread-bound book back into the bookcase. When he took down a book, he was stunned when he saw the blank cover of the book. He opened it and gently touched the inside which was full of wrinkles. Beautiful traditional calligraphy on the pages and paper.

This book does not look like an ancient book, but more like a bound manuscript, and these manuscripts have been rubbed vigorously, and then the binders patiently repaired these manuscripts, and bound them in order...

Su Yi had a guess in his mind. His eyes fell on the contents of the book, he quickly glanced over it, and hastily flipped through the manuscript to confirm that his guess was correct.

This is Feng Qingwei's manuscript on the method of controlling ghosts!

He raised his head subconsciously, and suddenly noticed an exquisite box near the manuscript.This box is placed on a grid alone, and it seems to be very cherished by the owner.The box was not locked, so Su Yi opened it and found that there were some rough magic weapon embryos inside, which looked very similar to those magic weapon embryos in the stone house in the South China Sea Secret Realm.

Su Yi frowned suspiciously, picked up a rough-carved jade tablet and looked at it, and found that there were many familiar formations on it, but compared with those in the stone house, the unfinished formations on it were more rounded and satisfactory, Su Yi When Yi looked over, there was even a faint brilliance flashing past.

This is probably what was taken from the stone house, but these are obviously useless, could it be because...

Yixiu on the side suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Xiao Yi, come here!"

Su Yi turned his head and saw that Yi Xiuxiu was holding an ancient book made of silk, and was comparing it with the totem on the cover of the ancient book with his mobile phone.

He quickly walked over and squatted beside Yixiu. Yixiu handed over the phone and said, "Look, is it exactly the same?"

Su Yi was already familiar with the half-disabled totem, and he only had to compare it carefully for a moment before he got the answer.His eyes lit up slightly, and he whispered, "It should be this totem!"

After confirming, Yixiu immediately picked up his mobile phone and took a picture of the totem on the cover, and then opened the ancient book to take pictures of the contents inside.

Yixiu moved very fast, and took several pages in one go.At first glance, Su Yi caught the word "Hongyun" from the complicated ancient characters above, and immediately understood that they had found the right one.

"jingle--"

The small and crisp bells rang in the hall. Su Yi, who was watching Yixiu taking pictures, was taken aback. He thought it was Feng Qingwei who had appeared, but found that Yixiu also frowned, and suddenly turned his head to look at the person who heard the sound. direction.

Su Yi turned his head to look, and found a woman with long hair shawl, her face was densely covered, and small and hideous scars were completely destroyed, standing not far from the bookcase, looking at them indifferently.

The woman disappeared without a trace, standing there without a trace, and she didn't know how long she had been there.However, she didn't say anything when she saw them, and she didn't react, she just looked at them coldly.

Looking at the woman with criss-crossed scars on her face, Su Yi was in a daze for a moment, and vaguely felt a sense of inexplicable familiarity.

His eyes fell on the familiar clothes on the woman, and he immediately recognized her as the one who covered her face with a black cloth and danced on the altar this morning!

Yixiu stared at the woman, looking straight at her with sharp eyes, and slowly put away the phone cautiously, then got up slightly dangerously, and made a gesture of preparing to attack.He seemed to be about to say something, but suddenly his expression changed, he got up and grabbed Su Yi's hand and flashed it to the side.

Su Yi stared wide-eyed in shock, and was quickly pulled by Yixiu to hide in the dark shadow of the thick pillar, covered his mouth and hid inside.

The woman didn't respond to them from the beginning to the end, she just looked at the scattered ancient books on the ground, walked over slowly, and squatted down to pack them up amidst the crisp sound of the bell.

The sound of conversation came faintly from outside the hall.

"...You have to give my brother some pointers, how to win the round?"

Ni Yuansi's voice came: "Sect Master Wei, this action is indeed a little impulsive and impatient... But Ni is not clear about the specific things... Please ask Sect Master Wei to explain in detail for Ni, and Ni can judge."

Su Yi's eyes widened slightly, and it turned out that Ni Yuansi and Wei Zongzhu were back outside!

He couldn't help but glanced at the woman who was quietly tidying up the scattered ancient books on the ground, nervously grabbed Yixiu's clothes, and looked at Yixiu in doubt and panic.

That person has already seen them. If she tells Ni Yuansi their location, is there any need for them to hide?It's better to rush out before they can react.

Yixiu looked thoughtfully at the woman who slowly put the ancient book back on the shelf, narrowed her phoenix eyes, shook her head slightly at Su Yi, put her slender fingers in front of her mouth, and gestured for silence.

Su Yi looked at Yixiu in puzzlement, and then at the woman, looking at her expression nervously, carefully guarding against her possible attack at any time.

Looking at it, Su Yi suddenly noticed something was wrong.

That person... Her silent eyes are somewhat similar to Feng Qingwei's.His eyes fell on the scars lying on her face like ferocious centipedes again, and he suddenly realized something.

Those scar lines on her face are clearly the totems on the black cloth she covered her face this morning!

Su Yi stared at the woman with wide eyes. Could it be that the scar on her face was a specially carved totem?

While Su Yi was distracted, the woman had already sorted out the scattered ancient books, and Ni Yuansi and Wei Zongzhu also stepped into the Holy Child Hall.

Sect Master Wei was chatting with Ni Yuansi about what had happened, but he didn't expect that there would be a person in the Hall of the Holy Child, a woman who had been so completely disfigured!

He was startled, the words in his mouth stopped suddenly, and then he frowned and said, "Who is she? Why is her face..."

This woman stayed in the Holy Child Hall, and Wei Zongzhu didn't want to go in any charming direction.Just looking at that face, being able to look directly at it for a while is considered a firm mind.

Ni Yuansi smiled slightly, and said softly, "Sect Master Wei, don't you recognize her? She is the one dancing on the altar today."

As if knowing that she had frightened the guests, the woman took out a black silk cloth to cover her face, knelt down silently, and saluted Ni Yuansi.

Seeing the familiar black silk cloth and attire, Wei Zongzhu also remembered.Ni Yuansi's external image has always been gentle and elegant, personable, which makes people think of such a cruel and merciless approach.He glanced at Ni Yuansi in surprise, and said in a rough voice, "In order to let her replace the sacrificial son, you still ruined the appearance of a person?"

Ni Yuansi sighed sadly, shook his head and said, "No, Ni is really helpless and sympathetic to her. She was once ruined by ghosts, and after being rescued by Ni by chance, she has always hoped to repay Ni. When she found out that Ni was troubled by the ceremony, she voluntarily stepped forward, and even feared that Ni would refuse, she even carved a sacrificial totem on her face with a knife, really..."

Sect Master Wei's rough eyebrows frowned, a little dubious, is there any woman who can cut her own face so hard?But seeing that the half-kneeling woman didn't respond to Ni Yuansi's words in the slightest, he also believed it.

Sect Master Wei always looked very angry, his eyebrows slowed down slightly, and he couldn't help but sighed: "Her ambition is very strong, and I am also ashamed of myself, disrespectful and disrespectful. Such a loyal person, Ni Shengzi must be cultivated and trusted. !"

Ni Yuansi smiled and said, "Of course."
