Chapter 174: Zhong Yan Sacrifice - Monty Python

Half an hour later, the faces of the people who had been drenched in soup were mixed with sweat and rain, and they were numbly counting down silently in their hearts—

"Rite over!"

This sacred, lengthy and strange sacrificial ceremony finally came to an end in the pouring rain.

To You Xue's surprise, the blue flame in the center of the altar was not extinguished by the rain at all, but was poured by the rain, and the flames jumped higher and higher.

The frenzied wind carried the heavy rain and poured everyone on the ground, even if they were holding an umbrella, they were swept away by the wind and flew out of the cliff in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the emperor and queen had stepped down from the altar together and walked towards the palace annex to the northwest of the altar.

You Xue also followed the forbidden army march, the heavy rain blurred her vision, she was worried that the mask would not fall off her shell if it was soaked in water, she couldn't help but wipe a handful of rain on her face, her eyes fell, and she couldn't help but be stunned, the water droplets in her palms slipped down, and a little of it was red like blood, slowly fainting and disappearing, and the familiar fragrance made her heart tremble slightly.

The annex is built according to the mountain, there is no luxurious and rich ornamentation, it is simple and simple like a temple pagoda, there are more than a dozen meditation rooms and a few courtyards, which are only for the clean body and changing clothes.

Qingyang was dressed in black armor and standing outside the Yunze Gate, and suddenly felt that the small soldiers of the Praetorian Guard around him were making small movements towards him, he swept over with cold eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The silver-armored and white-clothed soldier grimaced at him, "The mask made by Ziyue is not very realistic!"

"You are so bold, if you are detected, the prince can't save you. Qingyang said in a low voice.

You Xue smiled: "I'm sorry, I borrowed Lord Yue's light to sneak in, so, for your father's sake, you have to take a good look at me!"

Qingyang only felt smoke above his head, and he was speechless, this woman became more and more unpredictable, and her courage broke the sky, but he also knew that You Xue was not a reckless and ignorant person, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Your lord is injured. ”

Qingyang Jianmei frowned at her slightly, "The prince has been in the field for a long time, he will deal with this injury himself, there are many ears and eyes here, you should not..."

You Xue rolled her eyes and looked at him: "You think too much," she threw a small porcelain bottle to Qingyang, "It's not that simple, leave this to the prince, don't reveal my whereabouts." ”

Qingyang took the porcelain vase, and he smelled a faint fragrance of the spleen, and he didn't dare to delay, of course he hoped that the prince's injury would heal soon.

"Eh, wait," You Xue called Qingyang, who was about to enter, and asked in a low voice, "What are the Yin rubies inserted at the top of the four Heavenly God Pillars on the altar?"

Qingyang saw her serious expression, and he also thought about it for a while, but he didn't notice the strange appearance of the divine pillar that went straight into the sky, so he could only shake his head: "I didn't pay attention, but you should have read it wrong, the sharp cone at the top is the Lei Gong Pillar, and there can't be any embellishment on it." ”

Lei Gongzhu, you are tall, as if you can't see the altar that was struck by lightning just now, You Xue rolled her eyes at him.

Seeing Qingyang enter the house, she touched her chin and thought about it, didn't ask anymore, and disappeared into the rain.

In the middle of the room, Yun Ze had just bathed and cleansed his body, and was taking medicine, when he saw the familiar blue and white porcelain vase handed over by Qingyang, his expression changed and he walked out quickly, not listening to Qingyang racking his brains to explain where this medicine came from.

It's just that when he stepped out of the door, there was no one outside the door, except for the black and white guards who came and went, and the torrential rain with lightning and thunder.

Zhen Yunze also knew the seriousness of the matter, but in such bad weather, where was she hiding? Will there be danger?

In fact, at the moment when the flame was struck by lightning on the altar just now, a stone had already hit the king's knee and caused him to fall to the ground, so he hugged his brother and rolled on the spot to avoid the range of the fire, but the situation was too dangerous at that time to think about it.

If it weren't for that stone, Brother Wang would never have been unscathed at this moment.

Is it her?

It turned out that she had been hiding in the crowd.

But why didn't she tell herself? As long as she wanted to participate in the festival, he could protect her around him with a little arrangement, did he trust himself? Or was he afraid that the slightest mistake would affect him?

"What else did she say?"

She said it wasn't that simple. ”

"Send a message to the hidden guards lurking at the bottom of the mountain, and immediately start from the bottom of the mountain to investigate all suspicious situations, and if you resist, kill them. He paused, and then said, "Double the number of men guarding the vicinity of the king's courtyard, and keep an eye on the queen's men!"

Holding a magic weapon in his hand, he was dressed in a magnolia-colored light robe surrounded by disciples and slowly walked along the corridor towards the Yixin Garden, where the emperor was located.

He saw that there seemed to be several times more Xuanjia soldiers inside and outside the Yuanmen, guarding the inner palace guards in white and silver armor, and a faint smile bloomed on his kind and peaceful round face.

He walked out of the corridor, the tail of the monk's robe was long and dragged on the muddy grass, and the two little monks held an oil-paper umbrella for him, and he slowly walked to a foot at the gate of Yixin Yuan and stopped: "Just now the natural vision disturbed the king, and the old monk came to visit. ”

The black-armored army captain standing opposite looked at this highly respected lord with a facial expression, and said coldly: "The queen is frightened, she has taken the tranquilizer and has rested, and the king has ordered that there is no urgency not to disturb!"

Maya bowed slightly, "The old monk will come back later." ”

Although there was a wide oil-paper umbrella in the way, his monk's robe was completely wet, and half of his robe was covered with mud, and he turned back with a calm smile and stepped up the stone steps and left along the corridor.

You Xue, who had been quietly mixed in the guards of the Inner Palace, looked at the figure of Maya Venerable leaving, thoughtfully.

Although the rain is very heavy, the smell will be masked, but there is a very strange smell on the clothes of this old monk, and it is not the scent of sandalwood?

After the Venerable Maya, seeing that the rain was gradually subduing, the envoys of the Gara Kingdom, the envoys of the Beichen Kingdom, the King of the South China Sea, as well as Prime Minister Li Cheng and Zeng Guogong came.

But they were all invited back by the black armor soldiers who were guarding outside the courtyard one by one.

It seems that this is the emperor's explicit order, or the proposition of Zhen Yunze, otherwise this black-faced brother would never dare to be so bold to drive these important ministers and foreign envoys of the court.

She felt that this person was very personal, and was about to come forward to talk a few words and put on some information about the altar, when suddenly the sky began to be cloudy again, and at that moment the overwhelming darkness swept through the air, which was terrifying, and in the blink of an eye, a huge lightning bolt tore through the dark sky, and the thunder roared, and the muddy ground under her feet shook, and a large crack opened from the eaves of the porch to the courtyard.

The door of the main house behind him suddenly opened, and the King of Nanhai and King Rui outside the courtyard also arrived at the same time.

"There's something wrong behind you!Be careful!" You Xue had already seen some green living creatures wriggling on the eaves of the corridor amid the lightning and thunder, and countless colorful snakes had emerged from the cracks in the courtyard floor, and she couldn't help but shout to stop the actions of outsiders.

All the Praetorian guards and the Black Armor Army had already formed an encirclement and protected the suspicious emperor and queen in the house.

"What's going on?"

The wind shouted in a deep voice.

"Snake!

One of the sharp-eyed black-armored soldiers had already seen the triangular snake head coiled on the eaves of the long corridor, the size of a disc, and the venomous beast eyes were staring at the direction where the emperor and queen were staring, and the snake was as tall and coiled as a small hill, and it was actually a green giant python.
