This Marshal of the Palace

There was a Holy Cult protector by his side, and Yan Ci was somewhat uncomfortable walking.

Originally, he thought that this Yungan might be a ranger with decent skills, and he would seek revenge from Su Lie because his sister was killed by Su Lie, but he never thought that he would be the protector of the Holy Cult.

Yun Gan was also self-conscious, and followed Yan Ci without saying anything.

"That's Ligu, no one is allowed to enter without the order of the saint." Seeing that Yan Ci left the miasma forest, he didn't go to the main altar of the holy religion, but went in another direction and said.

"Ligu?" Yan Ci was puzzled, isn't it the Holy Land of the Holy Religion?Where is Ligu?Why didn't Xiyuan tell her?

"Li Valley is the place where the saintess lives. If the saintess summons no one to enter, and there are many Gu insects in the valley, if anyone who trespasses has no antidote, he will be eaten by the Gu insects before he reaches the valley." Yun Gan explained, "I don't think you are from Xijiang, what are you doing here?"

Where does the saint live?Yan Ci glanced in that direction, it should be the so-called Holy Land, but it just changed its name.

"Look for someone, and visit the senior saintess on the way for my teacher." This is the territory of the holy religion, and based on the principle that more things are worse than less things, Yan Ci still half-truthfully stated his purpose.

"Dare to ask the teacher's name?" Yun Gan looked at Yan Ci curiously. This Yan Bei looked young, but he had long wanted to know who could teach such a disciple.

"Let's talk about it after seeing the saint. My teacher told me not to mention her name before seeing the saint." Yan Ci refused softly. She came this time to find out whether Yan Huiyue was there. If it was exposed so early in the morning Who knows if there will be some secret sentry staring at this place despite his identity.

Yun Gan was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and smiled: "Young Master Yan, please, there are many Gu insects in the Holy Cult, and if you are not careful, you may be bitten or poisoned by Gu insects. This way is to enter and exit the Holy Cult. Please follow the only road."

The road that Yun Gan took Yan Ci was basically the same as the map given by Xi Yuan, except for a few minor details, it was considered a smooth journey.

"The disciple has seen the four guardians." Yun Gan took Yan Ci to a river, and a small wooden boat was parked on the bank. There was also a middle-aged man in a coir raincoat and a straw hat sitting on the wooden boat. When Yungan appeared, he immediately jumped onto the shore.

"Well, this is the disciple of the saint who came to see the saint, just take us to the main altar." Yun Qian restrained the smile on his face and returned to the way Yan Ci saw him for the first time. It also looks a little majestic.

"Yes, yes." The boatman greeted the two of them aboard, picked up a bamboo pole on one side, and pushed the boat away from the shore.

The speed of the boatman’s punting is very slow. A wooden boat can’t make much progress after dangling on the river for a long time. Yan Ci looked at both sides of the river. It’s not wide, and the river is not too fast. .

"Here, there is a colorless and formless Smoke Gu in the teaching. If you don't take the antidote in advance, the poison will gradually corrode your inner strength until you go into a coma." Just when Yan Ci was about to use lightness kung fu to pass it, Yun Gan suddenly handed it over. A white porcelain bottle smiled.

Yan Ci took the porcelain bottle and poured out a pale white pill without any hesitation, took it directly, and sighed after finishing it: "As expected of the Holy Cult of Western Xinjiang, even the sect is full of poisonous Gu."

"It wasn't like this in the past. It's just that someone brought people into the holy church quietly and caused the previous generation of saints to be killed. Since then, many organs have been set up in the church, and Gu insects have been raised along the way to protect the safety of the saints." Yun Gan bowed his head. Looking at the clear water surface, he said, "Even this water is filled with colorless Gu worms. Once someone tries to cross by force, there are no bones left that will be eaten by the Gu worms."

Hearing Yun Gan's words, he was standing by the side of the boat and was about to cross the river with ease. Yan Ci silently took a step back, joking, she is not afraid of Gu poison, which does not mean she is not afraid of cannibal Gu, a few of them can be killed, but the river is full Even Yan Huiyue will be eaten up completely.

After crossing the river, it is considered that he has truly entered the Holy Cult. Yan Ci followed Yun Gan and found that although the disciples of the Holy Cult he saw would respectfully salute and see the Four Guardians after seeing Yun Gan, they seemed to be Not very willing, or dissatisfied and contemptuous, which made her very strange.

"I think they are very dissatisfied with your position as the Four Guardians." Yan Ci asked in a low voice after seeing the number of Holy Cult disciples around him decrease significantly.

Yun Gan smiled wryly: "Of course I'm dissatisfied. I have poor qualifications. It's just that I was lucky enough to be accepted as a disciple by the top four guardians. After the master died, I replaced the master as the four guardians. If the master's confidants hadn't been helping me, I would have been driven out I'm down from the position of guardian."

Yan Ci nodded, no wonder Kung Fu can be a Dharma protector in general, she almost thought that the Holy Cult was just that capable.

The main hall of Shengjiao is very big, and there are many murals around it that she can't understand, and the beams and pillars are also engraved with Xijiang characters that she can't understand.

"Yun Gan has seen the Great Guardian." Yun Gan stopped and saluted when he saw a tall man wearing a black cloak whose face could not be seen clearly.

"Four protectors have worked hard." The man said, his voice was very gloomy, and then he turned his head to look at Yan Ci, "I wonder who this is?"

"In Xiayanbei, I am here to pay a visit to Senior Saintess at the order of my master." Yan Ci saluted, and also took out Yan Huiyue's voucher and handed it over.

The Great Protector stretched out his hand to take the certificate, and Yan Ci saw that his five fingers were strangely long, withered and had a strange blue-black color, and his slightly exposed wrist was like a finger, like a mummy whose flesh and blood had been removed.

I was startled in my heart, but Yanci's face didn't change at all, just quietly waiting for the guardian to speak.

"Follow me." The guardian carefully read the certificate twice, then turned and walked in another direction.

Yan Ci nodded at Yunqian and followed the big guardian. Gradually, she realized that the big guardian walked a little strangely. He had to pause every step. Although people couldn't feel it, she could clearly see it. I can feel that the protector is panting every time he walks, as if walking is very difficult for him.

After walking for more than half an hour, the big protector just said "wait" and left, leaving Yanci standing alone in the straw shed.

Raising his hand, he touched the concentric lock hanging around his neck, which was also engraved with Xijiang characters, and suddenly thought about what it meant when he went to Xiyuan next time, but it should be a blessing for marriage.

Just when Yan Ci was thinking wildly, the Great Guardian came out, threw Yan Huiyue's voucher to Yan Ci and said, "The saint calls you to go in, this is to expel Gu, just sprinkle it on the clothes." After speaking, he threw it again. He gave Yan Ci a paper package, turned around and left.

The smell of expelling gu powder was a bit pungent, Yan Ci frowned and sprinkled it on her body, then walked straight forward.

There are many fragments of night pearls inlaid on the mountain wall. You don’t need to worry about the darkness all the way in. After walking for about half a stick of incense, Yan Ci saw light spots in front of you. When you walked in quickly, you saw many plants. There is a not-so-big lake, but no one is seen.

"Don't stand outside anymore, come in." The ethereal voice came from nowhere, although the source could not be heard clearly but it was very clear, as if someone said these words in her ear.

Just when she was about to ask where to get in, suddenly a black and white butterfly flew in front of her eyes and circled. It kept flying in one direction, then flew back, circled and flew out again and again.

After several repetitions, Yan Ci also knew that he was going to follow the butterfly.

Butterfly led Yan Ci all the way to a vine. Yan Ci stretched out his hand and tried to push the vine away, only to find that there was a hole in the back that was half the height of a person. When he walked in, there was still a night pearl on the wall, but it was not a fragment but a whole one. The whole piece is mounted on the wall, and Yan Ci can't help but want to say prodigal.

Going deep, Yan Ci saw a woman sitting beside the stone table, with a slender figure, wearing a bright red dress, and her long hair hanging down to her waist.

"My boy, Yan Ci, has met the senior saint." Yan Ci saluted. She followed Yan Huiyue to meet the saint when she was a child. At that time, she was young, so she didn't have a deep impression of her. She only remembered this extremely bright red dress. Didn't expect it to be replaced after all these years.

"Xiao Ci, come here." The saint turned her head, her face was delicately made up, her eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness, she looked at Yan Ci as if she was looking at her own child.

Yan Ci walked over and sat next to the saint, who pushed a cup of tea in front of her: "You were only six or seven years old when we met last time, you were just a little bit older, I didn't expect to grow so tall in the blink of an eye. "

When the saint said this, she kept her eyes on Yan Ci and touched Yan Ci's head with one hand.

Stopping the words of the saint, Yanci's expression is a little unnatural. The saint has practiced the secret arts of Western Xinjiang since she was a child. Even now, she is about to enter the age of forty. Added a kind of unique tenderness to her.

Yanci is not a child, even though she knew that the saint was an elder, she still couldn't help but want to avoid it when she looked at that face and listened to that voice.

"Senior, Xiao Ci came today..." Yan Ci took a sip of tea and wanted to ask Yan Huiyue's whereabouts in a low voice, but was interrupted by the saint.

"Your mother and I are sisters. It's not an exaggeration for Xiao Ci to call me aunt." The saint looked at Yan Ci with a smile while holding a teacup.

"Aunt Saint." Yan Ci called in a low voice, "about a month ago, Master was assassinated by a gu in Xijiang, and her whereabouts were unknown. Xiao Ci came here to find the whereabouts of Master, but she was born in an unknown place. I'm familiar with it, so I can only come to Aunt Saint."

Yan Ci is not sure if she will help, after all, although the saints of Xijiang love Yan Huiyue in Jianghu, all their hearts are tied to Yan Huiyue.

But Yanci knew that the two of them had very little contact in normal times, and would only contact each other unless one of them needed help, so she was not sure whether the saint could tell her the whereabouts of Yan Huiyue, not to mention that she had another person in her heart. A layer of doubt has not been resolved.

"Okay, I'll let the disciples in the church look for it." The saint put down her teacup and said with a smile, "I guess Xiaoci hasn't eaten for so long."

Touching her stomach, her appetite is different from ordinary people, and she didn't eat lunch, and now she feels really empty in her stomach and wants to eat.

"I have asked the Great Protector to prepare the meals, and Xiaoci will stay in the church to rest today?" The saint smiled slightly, and the butterfly that attracted Yanci stopped at her fingertips and flapped its wings.

"Okay." Yanci nodded, and she also wanted to stay a little longer to see if there was anything abnormal in this holy religion.

Then the saint asked Yan Ci to go out first in the name of changing clothes, watching Yan Ci's back gradually going away, and then looking down at the butterfly on her fingertips, her eyes were gentle and somewhat infatuated.

"Look, Xiaoci has grown up so much, why don't you stay by my side."
