Chapter 501 The mage helps

The mare in the temple is still dying.

The death situation is getting worse and worse.

Many people say it is a plague and may be passed on, so no one dares to go to the temple to watch the fun.

Baiya Town has a very diverse belief, but the belief of Chinese people has always been pragmatism - if it can help me, I will believe you.

Shamans can exorcise evil and cure diseases, so there will naturally be believers, and their believers are not fewer than those of Buddhism and Taoism.

"How could there be a plague?" Some people also disbelief, "The Living Buddha came last month, and there could be such a big plague wherever he went."

This sound is a little weak.

Everyone asked the high priest to speak out and explain what kind of plague caused the mare's tragic death and what to do.

Until all the mares died and were burned, the high priest took a shower and changed his clothes and appeared in front of the people.

The high priest in this term was a woman in her forties. She was tall and big, and she was very thin, with a strange sense of mystery, which made her look amazing.

She wanted to set up an altar in the city, and then find out the reason for the mare's tragic death by jumping to the gods.

Everyone was curious and wanted to watch.

Xue Mei knew that she was here for her, so of course she had to watch the fun.

In order to look decent, Xue Mei not only had to go by himself, but also brought the two brothers Lu Shu and Lu Wen, as well as Cai Yuan and Jinping.

Xue Mei told them not to show any strangeness and be discovered.

Cai Yuan really had a correct expression; there was no need to say that Jinping was a master, pretending to be a master.

Unexpectedly, Xue Mei’s fifth brother is also resting today.

Because he was worried that he would become a playboy in the army by borrowing Xue Mei's reputation or Xiao Jingcheng's reputation, Xue Mei only allowed him to go to the General's Mansion once a month.

Last month, he had to go shopping and send it back, but he didn't have time to come and didn't see it.

This time he also heard that the high priest was looking for the plague star, so he planned to find the eldest sister to go and have a fun together.

I haven't seen him for two months. When Xue Mei saw him, she felt that he had grown a lot taller.

"Big sister, come back and take me to eat some good food. I always can't eat enough." Xue Run begged.

Lu Wen gloated: "Oh, it's so miserable."

"He will be a general in the future. After returning to Beijing, he will directly serve in the Ministry of War, at least a senior official like the Minister of the Secretariat. Thinking of this, do you still think he is miserable?" Xue Mei asked Lu Wen.

Lu Wen: "…"

He turned to Xue Run and put away his sympathy, "Only by enduring hardships can one become the best."

Xue Run: “…”

Xue Mei did not agree to take them to eat because she was worried that they would not be able to eat after it was over.

It was like taking friends to watch a suspense horror movie. Because Xue Mei had watched it in advance, she knew where the horror was and what the ending was. So she was waiting to see the expressions of her companions, and she would actually look forward to it.

Everyone was in a different mood.

The altar was surrounded by people and could not squeeze forward, so Xue Mei and others fell behind.

Fortunately, the altar was high enough that you could see the high priest above from afar. She had already started dancing and doing a "warm-up".

There were other shamans next to him, sitting around to help.

"It's quite interesting," said Xue Run.

Lu Wen nodded.

Lu Shu felt that Xue Mei and her maids were a little strange, so he did not focus on the sacrifice, but on Xue Mei.

A moment later, Andanxiao and Princess Baoqing actually came; behind them were several general wives and ladies from the general's mansion.

They stood directly behind Xue Mei and others.

The general's wife greeted Xue Mei, and Xue Mei also smiled and returned the greeting.

"The princess is here to get the fun too?" A general's wife asked Xue Mei.

Xue Mei nodded: "I haven't seen this before."

"I know this," said the lady, "I have seen it several times. The high priest will dance the witch and prayer dance later to determine whether the disaster star is present.

If he is not here, he will be able to tell where he is, and there will be a flaming bird that will draw his defense; if he is here, he will be found on the scene of the flaming bird."

Xue Mei has never heard of this.

She only knew that Wu Zhuwu had it, and this was also found in later generations; and what about the Flaming Bird is probably too difficult and has not been passed down.

"What is a flaming bird?" Xue Mei had already asked.

"It is a kind of bird made of bamboo that can fly and once it starts divination, it will burn." said the general's wife.

Xue Mei: "..."

She has heard that "wooden ox and horses" can be moved, and they use mechanism techniques.

So, does this high priest have the ability to mechanize?

Therefore, the bamboo bird she made can fly?

Xue Mei couldn't help but look forward to it more: "This is very interesting."

Andanxiao stood with Princess Baoqing, but at this moment she answered Xue Mei's words: "It's really interesting. I have never seen a flame bird."

"We are going to open our eyes today." Xue Mei said.

Princess Baoqing snorted coldly, turned her head over, and ignored Xue Mei.

Xue Mei didn't care either.

The general's wife smiled and did not dare to offend either side.

Then, the sound of hand drums started, and the real sacrifice was about to begin. The high priest jumped up and held a small bamboo bird in his hand.

This dance was very complicated. The high priest danced for about half an hour. Xue Mei and others didn't feel bored and were all watching with all their concentration.

Then, Wu Zhuwu was over, and the wooden bird in the high priest's hand suddenly started to ignite.

There was a scream in the crowd.

Xue Mei's fifth brother quickly pulled her sleeve: "Big sister, have you seen it? It's so amazing."

After the flame bird burned, the high priest and other shamans sang together, their voices deafening.

All the sounds in the audience were covered.

Xue Mei seemed to be listening to a soprano concert, and her eyes were still looking at the flame bird.

The flame bird begins to fly down, which means the disaster star is present.

It flew around the altar and exclaimed in the crowd, fearing that it would fall on itself.

The high priests and shamans' singing became a little higher, almost breaking the eardrums.

At this moment, the flame bird changed direction and came straight towards Xue Mei.

Xue Mei was still thinking about how to hide later so that the bird would not burn his hair.

It would be very embarrassing to burn it to a bald man and have no wig to wear.

She knew that the target of the Flaming Bird must be her, after all, Andanxiao had been laying the foundation for so long.

Suddenly, hands fell on Xue Mei's shoulders.

Everyone was watching the flame bird, but no one noticed it, but Xue Mei was shocked because she didn't notice that someone was approaching.

When she looked back, she saw a very handsome face.

This face is handsome and has three-point solemn appearance. Xue Mei feels that a beautiful man with a mysterious and solemn nature is even more tempting, just like the temptation of a uniform.

It is Master Michen.

He smiled at Xue Mei, then flicked his fingers lightly, and something flew out of his fingertips.

The flame bird flew straight towards this direction, but paused slightly in the air, and finally pounced violently, landed on Andanxiao's shoulder, and then rolled down.

Xue Mei was worried. After the bird met a person, it immediately extinguished the flames and at most it was to burn the clothes.

Xue Mei: "..."

No, Master, why are you helping you too much?
