Chapter 240 Sacrifice at the top of the mound
The two hundred and forty rounds
It was afternoon, and none of the people in the Taishi Bureau left, because they were still struggling with the drawings of the armillary sphere.
When Qin Ying entered the Taishi Bureau, he felt that it was terribly hot inside, so he pulled his collar and loosened the placket, and walked straight to the innermost Taishi Ling wing.
Maybe it was because the love was more cathartic just now, but now that she is facing her senior brother Li Chunfeng, she has no idea of starting from scratch at all.
However, as soon as Qin Ying sat down in front of Li Chunfeng's eyes, he figured out what she was doing when she looked for herself by looking for Qin Ying's steps and expressions when she entered the door.
"Is it a sacrificial thing that doesn't go well?" Li Chunfeng didn't greet her either, and asked straight to the point.
Qin Ying didn't answer this stubble, but just said, "-Senior brother, do you know how to stop the sacrificial backlash?" β
"Unless you're not the presiding priest." Li Chunfeng spread out his hand that had accidentally stained the ink, and saw that Qin Ying's face was solemn and he didn't joke with himself, and he also restrained the color that was out of tune, "Or you sealed the key points of the eight veins of the Qi Sutra." But why do you ask this? He looked at Qin Ying curiously.
"It's hard to put into words." She tilted her head away from his gaze. Qin Ying had to serve as the main priest, so he could only use the second method.

Twenty days are like a white horse passing through the gap and the smell of the skirt
On the day of the festival, it happened to be a sunny day with a sunny day and no clouds.
Qin Ying and everyone in the Ministry of Rites said in advance that they would gather, and she went to the Medicine Collection Bureau after the morning court, and let Mrs. Lin submerge the thirty-six inch-long silver quill needles into the big acupoints around her body, and then pull them out after a moment, leaving only three needles hidden in her sleeves.
Imperial Physician Lin watched her put on a black and white robe, and his heart was in a panic for her.
She had become dull from the pain since the knife wound, and she didn't feel much at this time. After saying goodbye to the needle in the afternoon, she went out naturally.
Wu Curse Forbidden Master was waiting outside the Medicine Treasure Bureau early, and when he heard that Qin Ying was here first, he specially came to pick her up.
Qin Ying walked out of the courtyard without squinting, and swept his brand-new robe with his afterglow, and said lightly: "Let's go." β
At the time of Tatsumi's handover, several cars had already parked on the side street. There are dozens of people next to the guard of honor, the official maid palace attendant is dressed in light green robes, or holding a Ming Huang banner, Huayun treasure cover, or holding a silk feather fan, furnace Ding incense case.
Qin Ying's gorgeous clothes are in the middle, but it doesn't look very grand.
She bowed to the adults of the Ministry of Rites one by one and then got into the carriage to rest, and recently her body had lost her true qi and was easily tired. She still has to preside over the sacrifice at noon, and she can't let go of her strength now.
Wu Curse Forbidden Master also followed Qin Ying into the car, he was recommended by Qin Ying to be the deputy of the sacrifice, so Qin Ying was only looking forward, although he was still under the child when he was old, but Qin Ying never treated him coldly, and he didn't care about those temporary false names.
He looked at Qin Ying with her eyes closed and looked drowsy, and felt that her facial features had been a little haggard and out of shape because of the organization of sacrifices recently. However, what he didn't know was that Qin Ying was not only preparing for the sacrifice these days, but also handling personnel in Longxingguan.
She served as the former Longxing Temple, and today the Xihua Temple has been the master for ten years. First of all, the new plaque written by His Majesty was welcomed back from the Ministry of Rites, and then the various fee systems in the temple were drastically banned.
The Taoist people in Guannei didn't know that Qin Ying had arrived at the post and brought some wealth approved by the imperial court, at this time, some people saw that Qin Ying was acting so fiercely, and they had a lot of complaints, and they made trouble for Qin Ying several times openly and secretly. Qin Ying ignored them but only changed them to make it worse, Qin Ying herself is not a soft persimmon who is bullied, at this time she is still in power, how can she not clean up the door of the Taoist who will make trouble?
The sacrifices and Taoist temples consumed all her spirit, so her complexion was even more bleak.
She sat on her side in the carriage and fell asleep, and when she woke up, the carriage had already reached the mound. Qin Ying picked up the curtain and looked out, only to see that the honor guards were already lined up on both sides of the convoy. And outside the guard of honor, there are countless people who come to visit.
Qin Ying looked at the constantly surging figures in the distance, thinking that they were the biggest reason for him to preside over the sacrifice, and a wave of righteousness and chivalry spread.
She said to Imperial Physician Lin before: But if I can die well, I will be fearless. However, the realm of the tongue has been reached, but it does not mean that the realm of behavior has also been reached.
Now standing at the moment of practicing words, are you really fearless? Originally, there was still a trace of doubt in her heart, but when she saw so many people coming, looking at the top of the mound with expectant eyes, she really left all her thoughts behind, and thought about the people wholeheartedly, and no longer cared about personal gains and losses.
The people in the carriage went down, and Qin Ying immediately jumped out of the car, and rushed past the adults of the Ministry of Rites step by step, and in the midst of the honor guard, he was the first to walk towards the steps leading to the top of the mound.
The elevation of the mound is not high, but it is a gentle step with 100 steps.
When all the sacrificers went up to the mound, they took the things in the hands of the officials and maids and palace attendants and displayed the incense offerings. After stepping seven steps, Qin Ying knelt down in front of the incense table, lit three thumb-thick sandalwood with his bare hands, and read aloud the text of the sacrifice. The voice is like the wind of the nine heavens, carrying the irresistible power of the bearer, straight through the ears of everyone under the mound.
Qin Ying herself didn't notice it, she was completely immersed in this sacrifice, chanting, stepping on Gang, and kneeling down had become instinctive things for her.
Maybe Imperial Physician Lin sealed the eight veins of the Qi Jing for Qin Ying just now, she really didn't feel the backlash, and the whole sacrificial process was extremely smooth. Her expression not only surprised the onlookers, but also made the Wu Curse Forbidden Master next to her sigh in his heart, Qin Ying's skills in sacrificing and praying for blessings have been superb.
Two moments later, she ended the sacrifice with a deep prostration, and when she lowered her head, she suddenly felt a fishy sweetness in her throat. Qin Ying swallowed the feeling of discomfort in her spit, and walked to the edge of the mound with dignified steps, watching everyone collect things. While they were all busy, Qin Ying's hand was put into his sleeve, and he used his skill to pull out the three milli needles that sealed the key points.
"Sss It didn't hurt to prick the needle, but the needle made her gasp in pain from the semi-warm breath on the top of the mound. Finding that the three silver needles were stained with blood, Qin Ying wiped them clean and wrapped them with a handkerchief, and quickly put them away.
When Qin Ying went down the steps, Qin Ying's mind was a little dizzy, and when the Wu Curse Forbidden Master was tired, he hurriedly held one of her arms, but he felt that there seemed to be warm blood oozing from her dark sleeves.
He asked anxiously, "What's going on?" β
"It's a blessing that I didn't encounter a backlash, what is it to put some blood." A vague smile appeared on the corner of Qin Ying's mouth.
Wu Curse Forbidden Master frowned deeply, and said in his heart that she was simply playing with her life. Sitting in the carriage, she carefully bandaged the bleeding acupuncture points, leaving it alone for the time being.
β¦β¦
The sacrifice of the mound ended successfully, and the Wu curse forbidden master moved to the Ministry of Rites after this incident, and worshiped a position on the nine products. In order to express his gratitude, he prepared a large gift to thank Qin Ying's noble people for their kindness.
Qin Ying confiscated a lot, so he transferred the things on the gift list to Da'an Palace. She knew that the eldest grandson queen had eyeliner there, and she would win the favor of the queen mother by borrowing flowers to offer Buddha like this.
On the day she went to Da'an Palace, she happened to meet Liu Jiu, who was on duty in Da'an Palace. When the two were talking, when Liu Jiu heard that Qin Ying had been sealed from the Ancestral Hall of the Fifth Grade, his eyes were shining with a suspicious light, which made Qin Ying shudder a little. As soon as she wanted to say goodbye, she heard Liu Jiu specifically mention that her sister was still unmarried......
Qin Ying's face was embarrassed for a while, and her heart said that since she was promoted, her peach blossoms couldn't stop.
Not only did Ripple see that she was going to be a nymphomaniac, but even the palace attendants of Da'an Palace wanted to marry her sister to her......
Thinking of this, Qin Ying touched her face and found that there was no change, daring that they were not targeting her face but her power?
If she is really Langjun, it is completely feasible to raise the lady who is watching her as a concubine.
It's a pity that she is a lady herself. Waiting for the concubine to enter the door, even if she has the heart, she is powerless.
What's even more unspeakable is that she has not had an independent mansion to live in since she was promoted for half a decade. Recently, she spent the night in the Xihua Temple in Chonghuafang.
ββThere is not a single Wupin official in the entire Chang'an City who is poorer than her. If people know her details, there is probably no lady who is not long-hearted and can take a fancy to Qin Ying.
