Misty Forest [Criminal Investigation]

Chapter 126

Qi Yu strolls to the door after dinner every day, chatting with the guards like a voluntary doorman.I didn't get much valuable news, but I saw Xiaolong and a few people driving out to buy things every day. It seemed that they were well prepared.It's just that praying for the rain still couldn't find a suitable excuse, so he lobbied the descendants to extend the celebration date.

Xiaolong and the others went to Dukande for three or four days in a row, and prayed for rain to ask him to go to the tobacco shop to ask if there was any new one.

"Be prepared, go and ask if it's still not working. I'll save it. If it works, I'll buy some."

Xiaolong didn't bring back cigarettes, but brought back the original words of the shop owner: "There are still three or four days to come."

After Xiaolong sent the message, he comforted Qi Yu: "Don't worry, you can get it when the scriptures are over. I told the boss today that I must leave one for you when it arrives."

Afterwards, the yard became even busier, with many people coming in and out every day.Five-color gauze curtains and colorful lanterns were hung everywhere in the courtyard. Seeing the colors that had appeared on the wrists of the deceased floated back and forth in front of the eyes, I prayed for a chill down my spine...

"Why do I feel so cautious?" Qi Yu always saw the faces of the victims when he saw those colors.

Nian Feng pulled Qi Yu into the house and closed the door: "Okay, I can't see it now, forget about those pictures!"

Qi Yu's eyes were covered by Nian Feng's slightly cold and dry right hand, and then his lips were covered with tenderness.

The picture that was played in a loop in his mind was instantly driven away, and now there is only one thought in Qi Yu's mind.

"It turns out that Nian's forensic doctor's mouth is also warm!"

Praying for the rain relying on him being unimpeded in the courtyard now, where there is no movement, where is the most people going, went to the Liuli Pagoda a few times, and figured out the location of the main venue of this celebration in advance.

In the Blessing Hall on the first floor of the Glazed Tower, all the wall panels in the original room could be moved, but after being disassembled, it became a super large space that can accommodate hundreds of people.

The ancient wooden door is folded and opened to the maximum, and the inside and outside are almost integrated.The golden wooden chair brought down from the realm of joy on the third floor was placed on the front table, and the two lamps were also brought down.Five layers of flowers with nutritious mud were placed on both sides of the table from top to bottom. Qi Yu took a glance and recognized lilies, peonies, jasmine, anthurium...the colorful mix is ​​really beautiful.

At dawn, Qi Yu was awakened by the noise outside the window. He sat up straight, and quietly touched the window and opened a corner of the curtain.

About [-] or [-] strangers entered the courtyard where Praying for Rain was located from the outer courtyard. These people, some men and some women, scattered after entering, obviously walking towards the empty room in the courtyard.

Qi Yu reckoned that this group of people were all the congregation members who had just arrived. He carefully looked at the faces that should have been unfamiliar, but accidentally felt a resemblance to a few faces. Send out a few photos, by the way, how is the preparation going?

"It's on track and everything is going well."

Qi Yu'an calmed down and deleted the phone information, and Mao went back to bed and continued to sleep with his arms around Nian Feng who hadn't woken up.

After breakfast, the two of them put on the costumes that Xiaolong sent last night, one light and one dark purple robes.

After putting it on, Qi Yu looked left and right in the mirror, turned around twice, and made a concise comment.

"Two idiots!"

Nian Feng glanced at him: "I'm not..."

Qi Yu and Nian Feng walked into the prayer room, where people dressed in robes of various colors were packed so densely that they couldn't recognize any of them just by looking at their backs.

His two entrances caused a few people to turn their heads, and most of them sat motionless on the futons.

Qi Yu stood in the middle frowning and looked for vacancies everywhere. There were only two consecutive vacancies in the middle of the first row. The first row?He definitely didn't want to go.

Standing like this will attract more people's attention. The little dragon who was sitting in the corner came over immediately, and whispered in Qi Yu's ear, telling him: Those two seats were given to him by the name of the holy descendant, so hurry up and take a seat, it's about to start.

Just as Qi Yu and Nian Feng sat down, Qi Yu took two deep breaths, and the flowers on the side of the stage bloomed more than yesterday, and the fragrance of the flowers became stronger.

There was the sound of cannons outside, the first blast, and the two people turned around at the same time, but saw the other people's faces were calm, Qi Yu rubbed his nose in embarrassment and turned around to sit down.

I don't know if it was the electronic gown or the firecrackers, a total of seven sounds, the wooden wall in front of him slid away, and the holy heir in the darkness, dressed in a golden robe and wearing a golden hat, walked out with his head held high and his chest held high with the support of two people.

Amidst the rustling sound, everyone in the room stood up and lowered their heads slightly, shouting in unison: "Welcome the descendant, and bless us with longevity and well-being for ten thousand years."

Qi Yu jumped up and restrained the urge to laugh, and lowered her head even lower.

Sheng Si sat on the wooden chair amidst the shouts of the crowd, wearing a gray and silver robe, and two tall and short people stood on both sides.

The mole on the cheek of the tall man in the silver robe was too obvious, Qi Yu looked up and immediately recognized him as the left protector, then the other one in the gray robe must be the right protector.

Qi Yu lowered his head slightly again. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the right guardian standing three or four meters away. He couldn't help raising his head at the first glance.After seeing the opponent's appearance clearly, it took him three times more restraint than usual to prevent himself from blurting out "ah".

Standing next to Sheng Si, the right protector felt Qi Yu's unscrupulous gaze, and the moment the four eyes met each other, the right protector quickly looked away.

Later, Sheng Si couldn't hear what he said on the stage to pray for rain. His mind was full of right protectors and right protectors... He couldn't figure out the connection and felt that everything seemed logical.

It wasn't until a cup of hot, steaming water was passed from the side to Qi Yu's hand that he came back to his senses, holding the black lotus-shaped glass and didn't know what to do.

"Pass it on."

The person next to him who was passing the cup whispered something, praying for rain and immediately handed it to Nianfeng, who then passed it on to the next person.

Qi Yu was wondering what this thing was for when the familiar voice of Guardian You came from the stage.

"In order to eliminate suffering and avoid bad luck for everyone, the Holy Heir has worked hard for many years and finally found a way to heaven for everyone to be safe forever. The water in your hands is not ordinary water, it is holy water that can absorb all the bad luck from your body. The Holy Heir will clear up all the ominous things immediately."

The short speech was constantly interrupted by excited cheers and applause, and Qi Yu repeated only one sentence in his heart: I didn't expect you to be so good at blowing...

The lotus water cup was quickly passed to the end, and was held by a person and handed back to the right protector.The left guardian pushed out a small cart wrapped with five-color ribbons from behind the flower stand on the side of the stage. Qi Yu stretched his neck and saw an empty plate with nothing on the top of the cart. what medicine.

Sheng Si held the water cup from the middle of the right protector and muttered above his head. Under the light, the hot air on the water cup hovered like a cloud or fog.

The room fell silent, and everyone was staring ahead, watching Sheng Si lower the water glass, watching him pour the hot water in the glass next to the empty plate on the trolley.

A few seconds later, white smoke came out of the empty plate, followed by a burst of flames from the plate, and several thin black strips, like long twisting snakes, curved out from the center of the plate, There were exclamations and gasps one after another from the audience.

"This is your bad luck and bad luck. I will use holy water to draw holy fire to burn them all!"

Qi Yu stared straight at the black snakes rising out of nowhere, staring unblinkingly at those snake-like objects whirling with flames, and finally spread out on the plate.

He is a materialist who believes in science. It is nonsense to start a fire with holy water, but he has no way to explain the supernatural power he saw. He frowned and looked at Nian Feng from the corner of his eye.

The corner of Nian Feng's mouth twitched slightly, with a faint smile on his face, watching everything that happened on stage with relish...

The fire that rose out of thin air was quickly extinguished, leaving behind only a plate of black snakes. Sheng Si clasped his hands and closed his eyes tightly, muttering a few words, and slammed his hands towards the plate.

"Your catastrophe has been cleared up, as long as you follow the holy heir closely, you will be safe forever."

The voice of the right protector sounded, and there was warm applause and cheers from the audience...

Sheng Si raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Those of you who are lucky enough to be sheltered are Zong Tianyu's loyal believers, and then I will give you precious tokens to deepen your fate."

The right protector took out a stack of A5-sized brown booklets from behind the flower stand, Sheng Si walked down the wooden platform with the help of the left protector, and the right protector followed behind.

Sheng Si personally picked up a booklet, handed it to the first person on the right in the first row, and then handed it out one by one.

The right protector came to pray for rain and looked down at the booklet in his hand to avoid praying for rain. Sheng Si put the booklet in praying rain's hand but didn't let go, but held praying rain's hands: "Xiao Qi, how do you feel today? Huh?" "It's like a spring breeze, I'm relaxed, and I've benefited a lot!" Qi Yu smiled brightly, and his tone was extremely pious, as if he was really shocked by the boundless magic power of the holy heir.

Sheng Si wanted to say a few more words, but was urged by Zuo Hufa to move on. He still wanted to tell him not to leave in a hurry after praying for rain...

Qi Yu agreed again and again with a calm face, and the right protector who was walking behind trembled twice holding the booklet and followed Sheng Si hurriedly forward...

Qi Yu opened the booklet with the "Xuan Li Jing" written on the cover, scanned a few pages at a glance, and then closed it immediately. He held back a smile and let Nian Feng read it too.

Nian Feng glanced at him but did not speak, and did not move his left hand holding the "Xuan Li Jing".

Sheng Si returned to the stage and sat down, and began to tell the founder of Zong Tianyu, how difficult it was for all the ancestors to come out with years of painstaking efforts, and asked everyone to read it repeatedly and record their own insights.

"The process of you opening the Xuan Li Jing is the process of exchanging souls with the gods. Write down your thoughts and feelings and report to the gods when necessary to help you on your way to heaven."

Afterwards, Protector You explained in detail how to use this booklet correctly, repeatedly emphasizing that not all believers have it, only those who have been approved by the gods can get this honor, so every time you come here, you must carry it with you at any time. Holy heir inspection.It must be kept properly and cannot be discarded. Losing it will bring disaster to oneself...

Time passed very quickly in Sheng Si's brainwashing and dancing performances. When Sheng Si announced that today's practice was temporarily over and everyone went to enjoy the delicacies bestowed by God, Qi Yu took out the watch in his trouser pocket, and the time It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Qi Yu didn't forget Sheng Si's exhortation just now and Nian Feng didn't move at the same place. Sure enough, when they were almost gone, Sheng Si waved at him.

"Xiao Qi, you wanted to meet the right protector before, come here quickly, I will introduce you personally."
