Chapter 254: The Ceremony of Worshipping the Heavens (Part II)

The two of them were stunned together, this is the beginning of the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky

But didn't the chamberlain say before that it would not start until the sun rises?

When Li Jin quickly looked up to check the sky, Su Jing pulled her and ran up.

At this time, the sky between the canopies was still gray, and the forest was even darker, and only the extent of the branches and trunks in front of me could be roughly discerned.

In addition, there were no other guide signs, and after Su Jing and Li Jin ran for a while, they found that not only could they not see the showshed, but even the glimmer of light at the edge of the forest before was gone.

Needless to say, the two of them were completely lost in the woods.

The long, low sound of the horn echoed in the forest, as if it were squeezing the two of them from all directions.

Li Jin, who was already out of breath when he was running, was even more dizzy from the sound at the moment, and he couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest.

After he couldn't run, Li Jin held on to the trunk of the tree and gasped, and joked with Su Jing: "If you don't have a fire fold on you, if you can't go out all the time, you can beat two hares to satisfy your hunger if you don't have access." ”

Although Li Jin listened to Mrs. Li's warning, in her consciousness, it was impossible to raise hurtful beasts in a place where the emperor was there, at most it was just something like a sika deer.

Su Jing was obviously not in the mood to joke, and after glaring at Li Jin, he frowned and said: "I brought it, but Miss is running around in the royal forbidden land, it's big or small, you really don't worry about being discovered, even if there are no fierce beasts in the forest, insects and snakes will never be absent, isn't Miss afraid?"

After Li Jin heard the "snake", his face immediately froze, but he still smiled stiffly: "Hehe, I was prepared for a long time, so I am naturally not afraid." ”

As the two were talking, the forest in the distance shook for a while, startling the two of them to immediately silence, but they saw a vague black shadow running quickly and disappearing into the bushes on the other side.

Li Jin smiled after relaxing, and just wanted to laugh at himself, but turned his head to see Su Jing's frowning even tighter.

"Miss, can you walk, I don't think it's right, we need to find our way back quickly. ”

Su Jing's seriousness and tightness were clearly transmitted to Li Jin's heart, making her feel stunned.

Put away the joke, Li Jin didn't ask any more, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's go now." ”

After that, the two quickly got up and began to grope for a way out of the woods.

The light of day was getting brighter, but the sound of the trumpet continued.

When the atmosphere became more and more dull, Su Jing wanted to relieve Li Jin's tension and spoke again, chatting with Li Jin about his childhood.

But as he spoke, he didn't belong to his mind, and the worry in his heart also leaked out, "It's strange to say, no matter how you hear this horn, I have the feeling of knocking on the gong when the hunter went into the mountains to hunt when I was a child."

Li Jin was not stupid and not so nervous that she lost her reason and judgment, so when she heard this, she immediately understood what Su Jing was nervous about, he was guessing, there was going to be hunting in this heaven sacrifice ceremony

At that time, even if there are no large beasts, but the sword has no eyes, especially the bow and arrow, the two of them will not be regarded as a live target

At that moment, the sound of the horn suddenly stopped.

There was a moment of silence between heaven and earth, as if a cloth bag was covered, blocking out all sounds.

Li Jin couldn't hear a single sound except for his own breathing.

Just when everything was calm, after a momentary whistling shrill sound, the tree trunk beside Li Jin suddenly made a muffled sound.

Li Jin looked at the tree trunk beside him in a daze, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

It's really, I'm afraid of something

The next moment, without waiting for her to think about it, Su Jing pushed her against the trunk of the tree, and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, walk on your stomach, hide behind the boulder over there, quickly"

The calm voice seemed to give Li Jin a dose of reassurance, and then she immediately followed Su Jing's instructions, clinging to the ground and trying not to touch the surrounding bushes, and slowly moved towards the boulder more than a dozen steps away.

While crawling forward, Li Jin listened to the sound of arrows around him from time to time, and hurriedly laughed at himself.

Tsk, she has a really good eye.

Looking at Su Jing's calm and experienced appearance, if she can bring people to northern Xinjiang, she will definitely be able to save a lot of worry. However, it is a pity that he did not reach an agreement with him.

Just after the two of them, when they arrived at the gap behind the boulder, Li Jin immediately praised Su Jinglai excitedly, but saw that the other party was pale, in a cold sweat, and there was a wry smile on his face that praised her.

"Miss, don't be a fool. I was bruised in the leg by an arrow, and I was afraid that there would be blood on the road. It's not safe here, you have to go on after you take a break."

Li Jin pressed Su Jing's shoulder and stopped him from saying something before he could speak.

"You save your strength first, and I'll bandage your wounds. ”

Li Jin quickly dealt with Su Jing's wounds, fortunately, it was really just a bruise, which looked scary but it was no longer bleeding at this time.

Taking out the pills in his purse, Li Jin stuffed one into Su Jing's mouth, and said: "We don't have weapons on us, didn't I come with you just for this moment, when someone approaches, I'll call for help."

But before she could finish speaking, a dark shadow suddenly burrowed into the crack in the stone where they were hiding.

Su Jing thought it was a fleeing beast that had strayed in, and was about to pick up the gravel around him to smash it, but the black shadow shouted: "Don't fight, don't hit Miss, I'm Wu Er"

Li Jin was also holding a dead branch to beat, and when he heard this, he looked carefully, "You, Wu Er, why did you get here?"

Wu Er obviously searched all the way, and in the mud and ash covered with his head, he almost couldn't see his original length.

Hearing Li Jin ask, Wu Erhe smiled and said, "Miss asked me to buy realgar powder, I guess Miss may want to peek at the royal forest." But it's too dark for fear that you'll encounter wild beasts, so the little one will help you bring a dagger. Fortunately, there was a father-in-law who was good to talk to, and I said that I would give you a cloak, and he immediately let me in and showed me how to go. Hey, if I hadn't walked fast and saw where you drilled the woods, I was afraid that things wouldn't have been delivered."

Li Jin looked at the delicate dagger that Wu Er took out of his arms, and was stunned for a while, and he didn't hear the second half of the sentence at all.

Su Jing even gritted his teeth and glared at Wu Er, as if he wanted to make two holes in him.

Where is this Wu Er here to deliver the dagger, it is clear that he is here to send them a life talisman

Originally, when there was no weapon, it could be said that he had strayed into the forest and got lost, but now it's good, with a sharp weapon in hand, who would believe it if he didn't stab

Li Jin smiled bitterly for a moment, and immediately pushed the dagger back into Wu Er's arms, and took out the realgar powder and pills and handed them over.

"You stay and take care of Su Jing, remember to sprinkle some realgar powder around to avoid snakes, and keep the pills to replenish your strength, I'll go find someone to save you." ”

Li Jin instructed Wu Er, turned around and walked out of the dodge quickly.

Since she couldn't hear the sound of archery around her, she guessed that the people had gone somewhere else.

Li Jin quickly followed the road he came, and after dealing with the subtle blood stains left by Su Jing, he carefully left a distance again, and then deliberately ran for a moment with a large range of movements.

I hope to lure people to her side, thinking like this, Li Jin ran a short distance like this.

After that, she whispered for help while running, "Is there anyone around, I'm lost?"

But as soon as she shouted two sentences, she heard a frightened and angry voice behind her, "Li Jin, why are you here?"

When Li Jin heard the shout, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he also discussed indignantly, it's not that you made an appointment in this broken place, otherwise how could there be such an unlucky thing

But there are many people who come with Li Hui, and Li Jin naturally can't tell what is in his heart.

And when Li Jin turned around, she saw Li Hui, a young man and a middle-aged man with a big belly walking towards her.

And this young son of heaven did not forget to joke with her while walking: "I didn't expect that Miss Li would be waiting for me here, and I can see that Miss Li is very interested in my ingenious agenda for the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony." ”
