Chapter 156: Succession Ceremony
Hyun Gyu didn't ask you if you liked the wind season, but directly asked if you liked him or not.
Because he was afraid that he would hear her answer in the affirmative.
Tang Xiaobai looked at him silently, his eyes were black and white, clear and clean, and he saw that Xuan Gui's heart began to feel uneasy, and he was about to say something again, but he heard her voice coming, "Okay." ”
Hyun Kyu's eyes lit up in an instant, and he swept away the apprehension and decadence just now.
I wanted to take this opportunity to strike while the iron was hot, and simply show my heart to her, but remembering the words he had promised Qiting before, he had to take back the love in his heart and pretend to be calm.
"That's... You have a good rest, I'm leaving. He grinded.
Tang Xiaobai snorted.
Seeing that Hyun Gui was still hesitant, he said with a smile, "I'll explain it to the wind season tomorrow, so let's go back to the post station to live." ”
"Really?" Hyungui looked at her with bright eyes, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"Really. Tang Xiaobai's serious expression.
Hyun Gyu scratched his head and smiled, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and then he turned around and disappeared into the night like a big dog with meat and bones.
Tang Xiaobai closed the door after seeing him leave, turned off the lights and climbed back into bed.
Not in a hurry to fall asleep, I sat with my knees crossed and looked at the moon in the sky outside through the window.
The moon is like practice, clear and clear, which makes people feel comfortable.
She silently recalled Xuangui's narrow appearance, and for some reason, she always felt funny, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
......
......
As Xuan Gui expected, those demon soldiers really didn't hurt Futian, not only that, but also personally took him around the city wall to see the bustling demon capital city market at night, and finally respectfully escorted him back to the post station.
This made Hyun Gyu feel a little relieved, plus Xiao Bai promised him at night that he would not stay in the palace tomorrow, Hyun Gyu's mood became brighter, and he couldn't help but wake up laughing twice even when he dreamed back at midnight.
On the second day, Tang Xiaobai really left the palace as promised, but he resumed his original early departure and late return, which made Xuangui feel guilty.
Fortunately, the succession ceremony is just three days later.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, the ten thousand demons in the empty alleys of the demon capital city, the people were side by side, their faces were full of joy, looking forward to this grand ceremony that had not been seen for thousands of years.
Flowers spread all the way from the gate of the demon capital to the root of the palace wall, the vermilion thick palace gate slowly opened, and the wind season wore a crown on his head, and walked out with a scepter in his hand, and took a solemn step.
The robe behind him was lifted by four goblin demons behind him, and Tang Xiaobai and Gu Yan accompanied him on both sides, also dressed beautifully and dignified.
The three of them and many entourages walked all the way to the altar near the palace, just a few steps away, but the surrounding people were layered, all of them spontaneously knelt down and bowed to show their piety.
The wind season has already arranged seats outside the shrine for the people of the Wako faction, and they can sit there and watch the entire ceremony from the best view.
On both sides of the trail of the altar of the gods, there are nine big drums of the skin, which are sounded by the eighteen censors in the demon capital, and the sound of dong dong is heard, solemn and majestic.
Feng Ji and Gu Yan Tang Xiaobai passed through the drums, walked up slowly, there were already demon clan elders waiting on the stage, seeing that the wind season was coming, they hurriedly presented him with a tray, and a dagger was placed on the plate.
Tang Xiaobai and Gu Yan stood together with the elders, and Feng Ji took the dagger, took off the cloak on his shoulders and handed it to the goblin demon behind him, and continued to go up alone until he reached the top.
He lightly made a cut on his index finger and dripped a drop of blood into the furnace on the altar.
A pillar of golden light emitted from the ding, and in an instant, the sky was full of light, and the sun and moon were shining together, indicating the birth of a new demon king.
The wind season turned around and looked down on his subjects from a high place.
All the people below cheered in unison, shouting long live the demon king.
The sound of drums brought the power of joy and joy, and soon another group of demon fish rushed in and began to dance to welcome the gods.
Feng Ji walked down the altar of the gods, put on the shawl again, and the three of Tang Xiaobai and Guyan continued to move forward, until they walked to the end of the stand and sat down, announcing the beginning of the ceremony.
The dance ends with nine different chants, praising the gods of the heavenly realm and the merits of the demon kings of the past dynasties, and ends with a dance to the gods as a sacrifice to the gods.
Feng Ji and Tang Xiaobai Guyan got up again, ended the activities of worshiping the gods, and then went to the palace wall again to meet and announce the succession of the people.
"Are you tired?"
Taking advantage of the time to go back, the wind season finally made a little time to communicate with Xiaobai for a short time.
Tang Xiaobai shook his head and smiled to show that he was okay.
She was just a little surprised that the succession etiquette of the demon clan was so cumbersome, even more than that of the human race.
Feng Ji seemed to guess her thoughts, and whispered, "Human beings have a short lifespan, and most of them have a smooth life, it is extremely difficult to have the opportunity to see the true god, and the sacrifice is only a formality, and there is no real communication with the sky, while demons are different." Therefore, in terms of sacrificing to the gods alone, the rituals of the demon clan will be more. ”
Tang Xiaobai snorted.
She knew a little bit about that.
After all, Candle Jiuyin is not an ordinary demon clan, so the Demon King's succession to the throne is huge, often alarming the gods of the heavenly realm.
She remembered that thousands of years ago, when her father succeeded to the throne in the wind season, she and Han Xiangke were watching the ceremony through the clouds in the sky.
The two of them were watching and guessing what kind of demons were those who turned into human forms below, and then they were unfortunately caught by the master, and they were thrown back to Yuqing Realm with one hand and locked up for a hundred years.
For this reason, the two fought a lot later, and they complained that the other party must have been too careless when he sneaked out, and was noticed by the master.
Tang Xiaobai was stunned for a while, and the three of them had already walked back outside the palace.
Under the leadership of the wind season, they slowly climbed the city wall.
There was a makeshift stand there, and they were going to stand on it to meet the people.
The stands were crowded with people, and they could be seen at the end of the road.
The wind season smiled and waved at everyone, signaling quiet.
Then, there were some scenes that went through the motions, which the elders wrote down and gave him to memorize.
The wind season is not leaky, as if it is really my own feelings.
Even so, it still touched the people below, and Yunyang even took the lead in wiping away his tears.
Fifty years of turmoil, they need such a placebo so badly.
Whoever wrote these words did not matter to the people, but who spoke them.
And doing this in the wind season itself already represents his promise: from now on, the people of the demon clan will return to the protection of the demon king and live a stable life.
There is no more displacement, no longer have to worry about being occupied by the soul bead, the six relatives do not recognize, and they die of exhaustion.
His speech quickly won applause.
Feng Ji has a grateful smile on his face, but his eyes are not shocked, and his eyes are dull and bottomless.
Next, he has to do something that is not in today's play.
"In addition, I have one more thing to announce. ”
He said quickly.
