Hot as China, cold as snow

After that day, Xi Yuan quietly left Cang Qiong Mountain to find Su He.With the company of Hua Xi and Qu Wu, Liu Moran's mood is no longer so anxious.

On this day, Hua Xi accompanied Qu Wu to the school, while he quietly read the "Ziwei Miscellaneous Records" written by Xi Yuan in the room. Suddenly, it was dark in the room, and there was a lot of chatter outside, Liu Moran Going out and looking up, a group of unknown birds flew over the sky of Cang Qiong Mountain. It looked like a group of birds migrating, but how could there be such a large-scale migration in this season?All of a sudden, those flying birds fell down with crackling noises. After a while, no less than hundreds of them fell down, and there were several in Liu Moran's courtyard.Liu Moran walked over to pick up one of them and found that the bird's eyes were bleeding.It was dawn, and when I looked up, there were still traces of birds.

The people in the clan talked about this matter, and when Qu Wu came to find Liu Moran after school at night, he said, "It's so strange, strange things always happen recently."

"Has anything like this happened before?"

Qu Wu shook his head: "Don't tell me."

"It's okay, you can't tell me yet? You tell me that I won't tell others." Liu Moran stretched out his fingers to hang himself with him.

Qu Wu rolled his eyes and looked outside: "It's not that you don't tell others, it's something that everyone knows, it's just that those of you who have been to Wuyin Mountain don't know. When you went to Wuyin Mountain before Many strange things happened, but at that time, Elder Yuan Ai forbade everyone to discuss it, and it was even more forbidden for you and brother Xiyuan to know, but I don’t know why this time, so many birds flew by and died, Elder Yuan Ai didn’t care about us, just Let the tribe talk like this. Brother Ran, you should have heard of it!"

"kindness."

"Aren't you angry?" Qu Wu asked cautiously.

"Then tell brother, how they talk about me." Liu Moran didn't shake his head or nod.

Qu Wu looked at Hua Xi as if begging for help, Hua Xi lay lazily on the side, finally Qu Wu had no choice but to say cautiously: "They said, say, brother will be a sacrifice. If you do a sacrifice, you can't be with Qu Wu is together, and I can no longer teach Qu Wu. Can my brother stop being a sacrifice? I don’t want my brother to disappear, like my mother. They say that the sacrifice is going to heaven, communicating with God, and can be exchanged for peace, but I know that my brother will go to heaven. If you die, you won’t be able to come back, brother, I don’t want you to die.”

"No, it's okay, they're talking nonsense." Liu Moran hugged Qu Wu, stroking his hair and comforting him, but his heart became heavier and heavier: Yuan Ai pressed Yuan Ai for the abnormal things that happened during the trip to Wuyin Mountain. I came down because I was afraid that the people would be upset, but now that Xi Yuan is not here, Elder Yuan Ai doesn't suppress this public opinion. Her idea is to make me, Liu Moran, sacrifice?

"Qu Wu, tell brother, what kind of miracle happened before?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, and Hua Xi can testify to me." Qu Wu said with joy, and exaggerated: "It's beautiful, the top of Cangqiong Mountain has colorful lights, and then a very beautiful blue fox in the sky It disappeared in a flash, and then a crape myrtle flower appeared in the sky, it was very big and beautiful, and then there was a circle of five-color light that lingered on the top of Cangqiong Mountain for a long time. I think ordinary people will never see this in their lifetime A beautiful rainbow." Qu Wu sighed and then said: "But people in the clan say that this vision is a sign of catastrophe, and they are all terrified and say bad things. I hate when they say bad things about my brother. No, we still have Hua Xi, let's get out of here!"

Liu Moran asked: "Isn't this place very good? You said those little friends of yours a few days ago, and you said you liked it here, why are you leaving? What should we do after we leave Brother Xiyuan? Don't worry, Qu Wu, who Nothing will happen."

Elder Yuan Ai did not stop such rumors, and the rumors became more and more popular, and the people of the Ziwei tribe had begun to talk about sacrifices with Liu Moran.

Hua Xi and Qu Wu rushed over, Liu Moran looked at the time: "Why are you back? You haven't finished school yet, and you forgot something here?"

Qu Wu hastily pulled Liu Moran over and said, "Brother, don't rush into trouble. I accidentally heard someone report to Elder Yuan Ai that brother Xiyuan was detained by Su He, and that Leng Xuanren's attack was planned. Surrounded, the whole army was wiped out, it was said that they were killed by random arrows, and even the corpses were incomplete."

"What?" Liu Moran was a little unsteady: "No. Leng Xuanren won't die." Qu Wu looked at Liu Moran worriedly: "What can Brother Xiyuan do! Brother Ran, Brother Xiyuan If you are so smart and predictable, you must be sure that the news is wrong, and nothing will happen."

Liu Moran took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said to Qu Wu, "You go out to play first." Liu Moran believed in Leng Xuanyan, believed in Xi Yuan, and even more believed that if two people were together, nothing would happen.With such a big incident, I am afraid that Elder Yuan Ai will come soon, and ask for clarification at that time.

Just thinking about it, Elder Yuan Ai brought some prestigious people in the clan to visit. He said it was a visit, but in fact he meant to force the palace to announce. Elder Yuan Ai sat down and said without hesitation: "The rumors outside, you I also heard that there are frequent disasters this day, and my old woman feels that I can't delay any longer, and I have to do the sacrifices quickly. The reason why you stayed is to admit your identity, Liu Moran, what do you think of this matter?"

Liu Moran remained silent, this incident was too coincidental, as soon as Xiyuan Lengxuanren had an accident, Elder Yuan Ai came here to force him to sacrifice: "I remember that you and Xiyuan had an agreement, without his consent, you can be the chief priest without his consent Ritual? I heard that something happened to Xiyuan, I thought you came here to tell me how to rescue Xiyuan, don't you think about saving him?"

"Hum..." Yuan Ai snorted, "Xi Yuan went to Su He privately without knowing what he could do. My old woman has already said that Su He is the number one enemy, and if Xi Yuan dares to go to him, it is my enemy."

Liu Moran's eyes opened angrily: "It seems that you planned it. You deliberately revealed Su He's affairs, so you guessed that Xiyuan would not sit idly by, and then presided over the sacrificial ceremony while he was away, the purpose is to sacrifice! I can't do it now I don’t doubt that something happened to Xiyuan, and Leng Xuanren fell into an ambush, whether it was Su He who you tipped off.”

An old man behind Elder Yuan Ai stood up: "Liu Moran, don't spout blood. As an ancestor of the Ziwei clan and the lucky star of the Ziwei clan, your mission is to sacrifice. That is something you are extremely honorable. Don't shirk it, you See what this is?" Talking about a few people lifting up a big dead fish, the old man said: "In the wells of the Ziwei tribe, there has never been such a thing for thousands of years. Today, when the tribe fetches water, they see this big fish. Dude, this fish also hurt people, it saw blood. There are foreign objects in the snow water left on the Cangqiong Mountain, and the Ziwei clan is in danger, you still follow the arrangement and participate in the sacrifice."

Yuan Ai stopped the old man's words: "Okay, Liu Moran, I'm not here to discuss with you this time, but to inform you that the sacrifice will be held in three days, and the whole clan will prepare. For the sake of the Ziwei clan, sacrifice yourself!"

"I think you arranged to put this dead fish in, right? Yuan Ai, you really did your best for me, Liu Moran." Liu Moran sat comfortably in his seat, not surprised at all: "You don't need to send someone to watch me, Afraid that I ran away, isn't it just a sacrifice? I, Liu Moran, have already made preparations." Liu Moran looked at Yuan Ai's back and watched her leave.

Liu Moran closed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought. When Xiyuan went to find Su He, he would definitely not go directly. He would definitely go to see Leng Xuanren first. Since he could think that Yuan Ai deliberately transferred Xiyuan away, the two of them must have also thought of it. Then it is impossible to fall into Yuan Ai's trap, this time it must be a play.After meeting Yuan Ai, Liu Moran was very sure that the news that came back was fake, Leng Xuanren and Xi Yuan were acting.Liu Moran smiled slightly: "Then I will participate in this sacrifice. I don't believe that Leng Xuanren will not show up, and I can take this opportunity to break the rumors of the sacrifice." Simple must have the inside story.
