Phoenix Feather

Ibubu sighed: "This confusing surname is really confusing."

It's not uncommon for sisters to have different surnames, but when it comes to Zhu Hong's attitude, it's a bit unbelievable.

Xuanxuan said: "Jin Qiaoyu, Luo Zhong, and Zhu Hong all belong to the Jin family. Zhang Xiao and Zhu Hong are sisters. Are these four people related or not?"

Everyone is curious. It would be a lie to say that they are not interested in these successive deaths. Although everyone doesn't want to be nosy, their curiosity has been hooked by this series of weird things.

Yi Bubu said: "Now the search for the artifact has reached a dead end, why don't we investigate this matter clearly, young master, do you think it's okay?"

Xuanxuan said: "When the truth comes out, sometimes it is a bad thing."

"?" Ibubu didn't quite understand what Xuanxuan meant.

Yue Yu said: "Although four people died, the people in Sun City reacted too coldly and didn't take it seriously at all. It's a bit abnormal. I don't think they care who the murderer is. If we find the murderer, it might be a good thing. Bad things ask for trouble."

Su Fengliu also agreed: "We outsiders should stick to our duties."

The ceremony of inviting the sun lady was held in the ancestral hall, because of the delay for lunch, when Xuanxuan and Yueyu arrived, the ceremony was already halfway through, the two of them kept Shen Yang's instructions in mind, and found an inconspicuous corner to join in the fun.

In front of the shrine

A huge bronze mirror in the shape of the sun was placed in the center facing upwards. It was noon, when the sun was at its strongest. The sun shone on the bronze mirror, making people afraid to look directly at it.

Li Mei, wearing a sun forehead ornament on her forehead, is dressed in red, with her long hair hanging loose, and is leading 24 women in red in a weird dance around a bronze mirror.

On the periphery are twelve women in white clothes, standing according to the position of the twelve o'clock. A big red drum is erected in front of each woman, and the fierce drum beats into people's hearts one after another.

After about half an hour, the drum stopped and the dance was over. Twelve women in white and 24 women in red retreated to the sides in an orderly manner.

Li Mei took a step forward, bowed and respectfully took a bunch of keys from an old woman...

Although there was a distance, Xuanxuan and Yueyu recognized at a glance that the bunch of keys was very similar to the bunch of keys that Jin De picked up from Luo Zhong's corpse, the same four, the same sun shape, and the same length. .

The two looked at each other, and couldn't help but wonder what the key was for.

Li Mei scooped up the key and walked into the ancestral hall——

If possible, Xuanxuan really wanted to squeeze forward to see what happened, but there were rows of people in front of him, helpless, the two could only stand behind and stare blankly, unable to see what Li Mei was doing in the ancestral hall.

The old woman waved her hand, and twelve women in white clothes lifted up the bronze mirror and walked into the ancestral hall...

Xuanxuan looked at Yueyu, Yueyu smiled and squatted halfway——

Being carried by Yue Yu, the field of vision suddenly widened a lot. The women in white clothes carried the bronze mirror, and Li Mei had a ladle in her hand at some point, and she was bending over to carry something from the ground.

A hole was exposed on the ground, and Li Mei leaned forward cautiously to fill the whole scoop with water from the hole, and slowly poured the liquid onto the bronze mirror, and the liquid seemed to be alive on the mirror.

The liquid was black and very familiar.

The top of the mountain, the middle of the tower, the black woman tree, the foot of the mountain, the hut, the dwarf plants, as long as a branch is broken off, the black liquid will flow out...

Warm breath on the side of the neck, the hot and humid feeling brought a wonderful feeling, everything around suddenly quieted down, only the long and subtle sound of Xuanxuan's exhalation and inhalation remained, and Yueyu paused for a while Unconsciously, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Guess what I saw?" Xuan Xuan patted Yue Yu's shoulder.

"What did you see?" Yue Yu asked following the words.

"There are holes in the ground with black liquid in the holes."

"Black liquid?" Yueyu immediately thought of the black woman tree on the mountain and the small plant at the foot of the mountain.

"You also thought of it, I think it's the same thing."

The woman in white tilted the bronze mirror slightly, black liquid slipped from the mirror, and the woman in red who was guarding outside the ancestral hall caught the liquid with a cup...

The wall of people started to move, one by one stepped forward to take the cups from the women in red, and drank them all in one gulp.

Xuanxuan frowned, feeling that these liquids must be very difficult to drink, but those who drank the liquids looked happy, as if they were drinking fine nectar and jade dew.

After a cursory look, although there are many people gathered in front of the ancestral hall, not all the people from Sun City are here.

Three days, now is the first day, it is expected to be carried out in batches.

There were only Xuanxuan and the other two outsiders in the crowd, standing out from the crowd was very eye-catching, and everyone around them stared at them with vigilant eyes.

"Let's go." Xuanxuan left with Yueyu tactfully.

Xuanxuan lay on Yueyu's back with no intention of coming down, and Yueyu didn't care, with a relaxed attitude, as if she didn't feel tired at all.

"Miao Muyu." Xuan Xuan suddenly called Yue Yu's real name in a serious manner.

"Ok?"

"Carry me for the rest of my life, are you willing?"

"In the past, in this life, and in the next life, I am willing."

"My dragon heart is very happy, and there is a reward."

Yue Yu smiled: "What reward?"

"Little Phoenix, kiss Yueyu, little Phoenix."

Little Phoenix obediently pecked Yueyu's face.

Yueyu complained: "Xiaoyue, you are so stingy."

Reaching out and rubbing Yue Yu's head, Xuan Xuan smiled: "This is the first kiss of little phoenix. It was supposed to belong to little unicorn, but now it's given to you. Little qilin is jealous."

Little Qilin: "..."

Yue Yu couldn't help laughing: "In that case, I'm taking advantage."

"No."

The two chatted without saying a word, walking in the criss-cross alleys in this hot afternoon, they felt warm and romantic.

"This feeling is really good." Xuanxuan sighed, "This is the first time I was carried away by someone."

"If Xiaoyue likes it, there can be many firsts like this in the future."

"Suddenly feel a little happy."

"It's just a little bit, so should I continue to work hard?"

Putting his face on Yue Yu's back, feeling the graceful back muscles under the clothes, Xuan Xuan chuckled softly: "Just now there was only a little bit more, now there is a little more, do you want to feel this kind of happiness too?"

Before Yueyu had time to react, Xuanxuan jumped down, walked around and squatted in front of him——

Startled for a moment, Yue Yu laughed, didn't say much, and simply lay down on Xuan Xuan's back.

The little phoenix poked the little unicorn with its wings: Your master is really rude.

Little Qilin: Just now, Master Xuan was too polite, one person once, quite fair.

The little Phoenix who protects the master is very dissatisfied: But your master is heavier than mine, and my master is at a disadvantage.

Little Qilin: ... Then should I lose weight, will Little Phoenix despise me for being heavy?

Yueyu protects Xuanxuan even more than Little Phoenix, so she didn't want to make him tired, so she came down after walking for a while.

"What should I do this afternoon?" Yue Yu asked.

After thinking for a while, Xuanxuan said, "I want to steal Jin De's bunch of keys."

Jinjia

Li Mei took off the sun forehead ornament on her head and stroked it gently in her hand. She remembered that the year she married into the Jin family, the Jin family gave her only a silver ring, which was worthless at all. It would be nice if the sun forehead was hers.

"Auntie." Yaya ran in from the outside and threw herself into Li Mei's arms.

With a shake of his hand, the sun forehead fell to the ground.

"Auntie, I'm hungry." Yaya had been starving for a long time, she had been waiting for lunch, and finally saw Li Mei came back, unexpectedly Li Mei entered the room and did not come out again, Yaya couldn't help but ran in Find Li Mei.

"Auntie," Yaya tugged at the corner of Li Mei's clothes, "I want to eat."

Li Mei ignored Yaya, picked up the forehead ornament, and carefully wiped off the dust on it.

Yaya rubbed her stomach, and let out another cry of aggrievedness.

Li Mei became impatient: "Go find your father." It's not her daughter, why are you looking for her.

Yaya whispered: "Father told me to find my aunt."

Li Mei frowned: "Go outside and wait."

Yaya had no choice but to go out reluctantly.

Put the sun forehead ornament into the wooden box and put it away. After thinking about it, Li Mei was still worried, so she went around the room, and finally put the box into the wooden cabinet and locked it up.

Looking down at the red dress on her body, Li Mei scooped out a set of clothes from the closet and planned to change.

Just as he took off his shirt, the sound of the door being locked suddenly came from behind him. Li Mei was startled, and turned her head abruptly, only to see Jin De slipping in at some point.

"It's you." Li Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin De twisted Li Mei's waist, implying: "Jin Yan is not at home."

Li Mei knocked off Jin De's hand, and said coldly, "Your daughter is here."

Jin De cursed in a low voice, and put his arms around Li Mei to the side of the bed.

Li Mei pushed him away, "I don't want to be caught in bed by Jin Yan."

"He went up the mountain and couldn't come back within an hour or two."

Li Mei was taken aback, "What is he doing up the mountain?"

"The fifth wife came here this morning to ask for the keys. It's the bunch of sun keys that Mom always carried with her... I couldn't find them at home, so Jin Yan went up the mountain to look for them." Jin De didn't tell the truth, the bunch of keys was now on him.

"Sun keys? Are there four, of different lengths?"

"How do you know? Mom has always been a baby, but I've looked for it. The key doesn't seem to be used at home."

Li Mei was very surprised, Jin De didn't know that it was the key of the ancestral hall, and then she remembered that Jin De and Jin Yan didn't participate in the Sun Wife Ceremony every year, because Jin Qiaoyu would bring Yangshui back for them to drink, Jin De didn't know It's no surprise what the key is for.

Without explaining the purpose of the key to Jin De, Li Mei changed her clothes and opened the door to go out.

Kindra held her, "We've been—"

"Uncle, I am your sister-in-law." Li Mei emphasized the word "sister-in-law".

"You know—"

"I only know that you married Zhu Hong after listening to your mother's advice, and then left me to Jin Yan."

Kinder was speechless.

Li Mei was very disappointed, she didn't say any more, and went out to cook.

After making two random dishes, when Li Mei wanted to find Yaya for dinner, she couldn't find anyone.
