September. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info both look forward to the day.

It was not yet dawn, and the west wind whistled low under the haze.

Zou Cheng neighboring all directions rushed to watch the festival of the Chinese people, stepping on the dew in the grass, stepping on the silver frost on the mud, men, women and children supporting and echoing, and poured into the square field outside the palace early, three

The May Day pile stood or sat around the altar, excitedly talking about the upcoming sacrifice.

Before the sacrifice had even begun, signs of rain appeared, which proved that the Great Zhou were still protected by the heavens, and as members of the Zhou dynasty, they were still the chosen people of the heavens.

So despite shivering from the unstoppable chill of late autumn, they congratulated each other, glad that they had been able to witness a sacred and grand ceremony.

Yes, this day, for them, is a joyful and memorable day.

But for others, it's a blood-colored scar that they don't want to touch again for the rest of their lives.

Gains and losses, joys and sorrows, are as beautiful as the flowers on the water and their reflections, and the two worlds are forever connected and forever apart.

"Ka. ”

This refers to the sound of broken bones.

"Ka. ”

Again.

Dan Jiang withdrew the torture instrument in his hand and stared coldly at Lin Feng bound to the shackles of the bronze beast. Linfeng's thin shoulders kept trembling, his chest rose and fell sharply, and his arms were bare in the cool morning air,

The thumb and forefinger of the right hand droop limply.

"If you can't help it, you can shout, feel free to shout. Didn't I take the strip of cloth from your mouth? Don't worry, no one can hear it, it's quite far from the palace. Dan Jiang said, "I don't."

I believe you can endure it until the end, and now it's only the second finger. ”

Linfeng didn't say a word.

Like a vulture circling around its dying prey, Dan Jiang paced back and forth beside her trophy calmly: "...... It is rumored that you have a strong temperament, even for the sake of a humble history,

Arrows glow. But he won't hold you accountable,...... No one will hold you accountable for your sins. On the contrary, you won the title of 'Princess of Long History' by virtue of how many words of poetry you know. ”

"So you want me to be unable to hold the carving knife anymore and touch the wooden tablet?" Lin Feng raised her face, the pain in her heart made her unconsciously cry, but she still smiled.

Dan Jiang seemed to be infected by her, and the corners of his lips raised: "Not bad." ”

Lin Feng let out a long breath: "I have fallen into your trap, if you want to torture me, torture me, if you say that your evil deeds are to blame me for my sins on behalf of the light, it is really ridiculous."

。 …… Who are you?"

Dan Jiang asked her and was stunned.

"Do you know who he is?" continued Linfeng, "you call his name, but do you know who he is called 'Shine'?"

Dan Jiang took a few deep breaths and remained calm: "He is the 'Guangjun', the only Jin prince in the world, a person you don't deserve and don't deserve." ”

"I guess you're going to say that. "The wind sighed," ...... You don't know how to glazing. ”

Dan Jiang mocked: "Yes, you know. Not only do you know how to shine, but you also know Song Shizi, Wei Bo, and even Canghenglu, the reed witch you trust...... They all circle around you and hold you in their hands

Heart. ”

Linfeng Waner.

"Yes. At your point, I think I know him better than you do. Finally, she said.

"You're the woman women you hate the most. Dan Jiang continued her words, "Your greatest sin is your 'understanding' of those men. If you are flawless, no one will be dissatisfied with you and them

Stand side by side, but unfortunately you're not perfect. You have an ordinary appearance, you have a strange temperament, but you have the opportunity to get in touch with the secrets of those wonderful men and understand their hearts. …… It's luck

I have favored you, otherwise why should you occupy their favor alone, and what can you do to appease the unwillingness of others?"

The wind couldn't suppress the cough repeatedly.

……

Outside the house, there was the sound of small footsteps.

Cang Henglu wore a ceremonial dress and led two rows of white-clothed maids wearing utensils to slowly walk inside.

"Princess, the hour is near, and it is time for you to burn incense and bathe in preparation for the day sacrifice. He bowed head-on.

Dan Jiang looked at Linfeng and then at him.

"Henglu, it's just right for you to arrive early or late. Dan Jiang ordered, "You go to her, start with the middle finger of her right hand, and break it all." ”

Cang Henglu hesitated for a moment: "Princess, you will have to preside over the sacrifice soon, why do you have to do such a cruel thing." Princess Luhou is also a noble daughter and is not allowed to be punished by corporal punishment. ”

Dan Jiang's eyes rolled: "You don't want to?"

Cang Henglu did not react.

"You won't?" Dan Jiang raised his voice.

"Little minister......" Cang Henglu groaned.

Dan Jiang sneered and clapped his palm: "I'll come." ”

"No...... Ken Jr. Cang Henglu blocked her, "Princess, instead of defiling you, it is better for the minister to accept it." ”

He took the torture instrument, approached Linfeng, first looked at her carefully, then raised her right middle finger and slammed it hard.

"Ka!"

Linfeng gritted his teeth and gasped through his teeth.

Dan Jiang was slightly satisfied: "I'll go to the inner room to bathe." According to what you are doing so far, you will serve Princess Luhou in good life. ”

Cang Henglu lowered his head: "Princess, the minister dared to ask, during the period when you imprisoned Princess Luhou, you kept her wearing a white sacrifice dress, could it be ......?"

"That's smart, Henglu. Dan Jiang squinted at him while loosening his bun and flowing his waterfall-like hair on his shoulders, "I intend to revive the ancient rites in this festival and go up with the most pious ritual."

Heaven begs for rain. Those presented to the ancestors of the gods and spirits are sacrificed to the living in addition to the three animal prisons. ”

Cang Henglu was silent for a while: "...... The princess wants to use Princess Lu Hou to sacrifice for the living......? She should cover her face with a mask so that others may not recognize her. ”

Dan Jiang laughed: "Is it necessary to be so merciful to the concubine?"

The muscles on Cangheng Lu's face moved imperceptibly.

"Concubine Xuan. Linfeng repeated, "So your plan was to burn me to death......"

Concubine Xuan, that is, a ritual in which the nobles of the slave dynasty burned female slaves as a contribution to the sacrifice of the nobles in order to pray for rain from heaven, which prevailed in the Xia Shang and Western Zhou Dynasty, where human martyrdom and human sacrifice and other activities were greatly reduced

It's hard to see. It's no wonder that Dan Jiang calls it a revival of ancient rites.

Dan Jiangmei's eyes were half-closed, and his lips opened lightly: "Are you proud, godly sacrifice?" After a while, you will ride the black smoke and drive the yellow clouds to disappear into the world silently. Ah, who knows that I kill

What about you? Who knows?"

"The gods know, and the heavens and the earth can learn from it. However, the war of words is no longer meaningless. "It's easy for Linfeng to temporarily subdue the sickness that manifests itself in her body from time to time," ...... It's up to you. ”

Dan Jiang raised his eyebrows: "...... You gave up so easily?" She deliberately turned to Cang Henglu, "How sad will those who want to protect you be, how sad are you, how much have you failed them......"

"Who will fail whom may be determined in the future. "If you want to hear a dying wail or a confession or something like that, so as to make your evil deeds more interesting, I can't be satisfied."

Enough for you. ”

Dan Jiang finally walked around her, walked past Canghenglu, and nodded a little on his shoulder: "Remember to cut her face and cut her tongue." ”

"You don't know how to glazing. ”

The warm water slid over Dan Jiang's skin, and when it was in the wind, it pierced her heart.

The appearance of the glazing is vaguely reproduced in front of me.

His side, his back, his ...... She sadly found that the impression that had accumulated in her mind was hardly a picture of his demeanor when he looked at her. He never fixed his eyes on her.

She could only remember how strongly she wanted to grasp his fluttering coat, but she could not remember if he smiled at her, even if it was just an unconscious curvature of the corners of his lips.

Understood, not understood, does it matter? Does she have a chance? Does she have a choice?

"I'm sorry for you. As for the gentlest thing he ever said to her, it was an apology. He looked at her crying, watched her lose his temper, and said such things. Not too little, and definitely not too few

The word maintains the most basic courtesy and mercy. He is limited and stingy with his sympathy for her.

At that moment, she understood the gap between her and him, destined to be impossible for her to cross in her lifetime.

At that moment, she also knew that she had to completely cut off the thoughts placed on him.

Sadly, she couldn't get out of the grudge that haunted him.

Like all women who can't get it, she easily takes the wind as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh, but she is a little more sober than those who are caught up in jealousy and hatred

She understood that the pain caused by the torture of the wind was more important to the light than to inflict a heavy wound on her own body, and she thought that she had cleverly designed the whole plan and arranged all the retreats properly.

At present, she doesn't even plan to be taboo with Su Xian. Or it would be better for him to witness the burial of his beloved woman in the flames.

She firmly believes that no one can save the situation.

"Ah——————!h

She hurriedly got up from the bath: "What's wrong!"

Cang Henglu's voice came: "Don't worry, princess, it's just a famous maid who is scared." Princess Luhou ...... I fainted too......"

"Get rid of the unsuccessful and pour some cold water on Princess Luhou. …… You let it go, time is running out. Dan Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and re-packed his thoughts.

"Yes. Cang Henglu responded from afar.

Dan Jiang glanced at the black wine lord placed on the table by the pool, and buried his body in the water little by little......

Dawn, it turns out that it can be more gloomy than dusk.

Su Xian sat in front of the window in a daze, the cool wind blowing his untied hair, and the blue morning light caressed his naked back with pity.

Zhu Jiang hid in the tent, could not look at it anymore, and took his coat to cover his back.

When she was so close to him, she exclaimed as her gaze wandered, and then gagged herself.

His back, entrenched in a cluster of crimson burns, fangs and claws, like a huge and ugly spider, striking and hideous.

Su Xian's lingering mind was interrupted by her cry and raised his eyes to look at her.

"It's cold. She hesitated and then said, lowering her eyelashes and handing him the garment, "No...... will get sick. ”

Su Xian stared at her indifferently: "Are you afraid, afraid of my old injury?"

Zhu Jiang shook his head.

"Why aren't you afraid?" Su Xian became more and more unconcerned, "Even I'm afraid." ”

Zhu Jiang was silent.

"This is the injury I suffered when I was in Shalan in Xirong to save Linfeng from the fire. Su Xian's attitude suddenly became serious, and he said slowly, "It really hurts, and it leaves an ugly mark." But

I think it's worth it. Even if I died for her at that time, I would definitely feel relieved in Huangquan. ”

Zhu Jiang's heart throbbed.

Su Xian was completely immersed in the deep pool of memories: "Before that incident, I pondered more than once, in her heart, I could never become the first, so why should I be the second." But after that, I was

I'm glad that I, the second one, was able to save her in time before the first. I figured it out, no matter where she put me, as me, as a man, I can't watch the woman I like happen

Dangerous. …… Can you feel that?"

"Hmm. Zhu Jiang rubbed the corners of his clothes and replied with tears in his eyes for a long time.

"If you can perceive it, there is not much to explain to you what I am going to do today. Su Xian pulled up his hair and combed himself, "You are so virtuous and reasonable, you look like ours."

Life as a couple will get off to a good start. ”

The little couple stopped talking again, one focused on contemplation, and the other carefully groomed.

After a while, Zhu Jiang raised his head: "Can I help you?...... I'll go to my sister's bedroom and look for the jade ring. It can prove that my sister has locked up Princess Luhou, and we can use the jade ring to force her to release

Let go of Princess Luhou...... I'll go!"

Su Xian observed her expression and suddenly smiled.

"You occasionally behave quite like Lin Feng when he was in the Rong Realm...... he changed into a white silk shirt, "You are the important wife I want to bring back to the Song Kingdom, for the sake of my parents, do less of these orders."

It's a purely adventurous thing. …… Your sister is not as dull as you are. …… Just wait for me. ”

He walked to the palace gate in a few steps, not preventing his sleeves from making Zhu Jiang tighten.

"I ...... I can't watch the man I like in danger...... You can feel that...... "She confessed her heart aggrievedly and with difficulty, but she was loose and involved, and waited for him

The merciless ridicule.

A long silence.

"No way. In the end, he was so ambiguous that she fell into the bitter winter ice cellar, and it was cold to the bone.

He sprang out of his legs, anxious to carry out his strategy.

Zhu Jiang stood lonely in place.

Unexpectedly, Su Xian killed a horse pistol.

"I mean I can't be in danger. He poked his head out of the temple gate, and when he had finished adding his words, he disappeared.

"Huh. Zhu Jiang's heart fluttered, his nose was sore, his tears were out of control, and the broken thread seemed to roll off.

At the same time, the warm atmosphere on the square field became more and more intense as the sky brightened.

The people who could not see the intrigue in the palace began to sit still, and stood up one after another, pointing to the dark clouds piling up in the air, looking forward to the early holding of the festival.

Finally, long horns sounded on both sides of the field, and the forward guards appeared.

These brightly armored and solemn-looking soldiers suddenly calmed down the chaotic situation in the square field. With fear and envy, people quietly watched the soldiers holding flags and holding their banners

Defend the altar layer by layer, majestically guard the realm that belongs to God, and separate it from the people.

There was silence all around.

Many people swallowed their saliva in unison.
