Chapter Twenty-Three: A Dance in the City, Ghosts and Horrors 6
As soon as the royal family members sat down, the celebrant shouted: "The sacrifice begins!" ”
After the drummer beats his arms sharply, the drum beat becomes rapid and slow, fast and slow, and the sound echoes on the ice.
With the orderly sound of drums, a flag team slipped from the east.
The procession is divided into eight rows, each row wears white, green, blue, red, and brown silk cloth armor, and holds a large flag of the same color as the clothing, representing the colors of the five elements. The other three rows of silk cloth armor are variegated, painted with patterns of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and the corresponding patterns are also on the flags held. The first two people in each row carry a shrine that symbolizes the god of nature.
At the end of the flag team, eight people wore red bloomers, and the shirtless man carried a large disc and slipped out, covered with red silk, and I don't know what was inside.
The flag team quickly slid to the middle of the pool, and suddenly separated, and the eight rows slid towards the eight arches in eight directions, leaving only the eight people and the large disc they carried on their shoulders.
Each team passed under the torii and slid back again. With the large plate carried by the eight big men as the center of the circle, it is wound into eight circles of different colors, and from a distance, it looks like an eight-petal flower with petals constantly turning.
Suddenly, the drumming stopped.
The eight big men who were lifting the disc shouted in unison, struggling to lift the large disc above their heads.
The red silk on the plate suddenly stood up, and then when it was lifted, the red silk fell, revealing a person.
The man was long, tall and handsome, with a ** upper body, red manzhu sawati painted on the chest and back, and a black bloomer with red fire patterns on his lower body, a red ribbon around his waist, and black boots with gold and red flame patterns on his feet. The ape arm bee waist, the plump god and beautiful face, it is clearly Jin Ze.
Wei Wan saw that the inside of the large plate was shining in the sun, and when she looked closely, she found that the plate was full of ice. It seems that Jin Ze is going to dance on the three-foot ice tray.
Jin Ze suddenly spun and jumped up on the ice tray. The red silk belt around his waist and his long hair tied into a ponytail swirled around him like a red and a black.
At the moment when he jumped up, the drum beat again, accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo, and the dance music was melodious for a while.
Jin Ze fell back into the ice tray from mid-air, his posture was light, and he was like a crane flying like a butterfly. Accompanied by the rhythm of the music, Jin Ze danced or swirled, or danced quickly or slowly, but saw his figure ethereal, such as Feihong flapping his wings, and his posture was varied when he was slow, like a dragon stretching his waist, his long hair was flying, like a light cloud covering the moon, and the red silk fluttering like a flowing wind and snow.
Looking at it from a distance, I only felt that his face was bright, like the morning glow reflecting the sun; The posture is handsome, like a ghostly axe, impeccable, irreplaceable.
Everyone only felt that he stepped on the dust and clouds lightly, fluttering like a god, and when he was solemn, his body was as steady as a mountain, and he was simply indescribably beautiful, and he only felt happy, excited, and excited, but he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
is really a beautiful man who is unparalleled in the world, a rare handsome man in the world, this dance is even more glamorous, and the ghosts are shocking.
After the dance, Jin Ze quickly picked up the red silk on the side of the disc, threw it into the air with one hand, and he spun and knelt in the plate by himself, and the red silk fell and covered him.
Wei Wan was shocked when she saw it, and took the hand of the county lord of Zhaohua and said, "God, it's so beautiful and amazing...... But what is this to do? How is it like the scene of sacrifice on the temple? ”
Lord Zhaohua said in a low voice: "In ancient times, it was sacrificed for the living, but now it is just a show. Those who dance the sacrificial dance are carried down to rest...... Look, it's going down. ”
On the surface of the pool, eight big men quickly withdrew with ice trays held high.
The drums stopped, and only the melodious sound of silk and bamboo lingered.
All the strong tensmen of the flag team shouted three times, and then carried the shrine around the ice rink and began to slide.
The lord of Zhaohua County said: "It's like a line, Sister Wan has changed her shoes soon, and we will dance behind the flag team, which means to go to the epidemic and get sick." ”
Wei Wan hurriedly changed her shoes, and when she saw Biyun standing aside in a daze, she called Biyun: "...... If you want to change your shoes, your sister will change them too, right? ”
Biyun turned his head and said stunnedly, "Do you see it...... It's really a ghostly dance...... "But he didn't say anything halfway through, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he sat down on the brocade and asked Cha Xiang to help change his ice boots.
At this time, the celebrant shouted, "Please go to the plague." ”
Wei Wan hurriedly put on her mask and followed everyone into the liquid pool according to the pre-rehearsed formation.
The women's dancing posture is soft and light, turning up the skirts open, like a red lotus blooming, the men's dancing posture is resolute and atmospheric, like lotus leaves beside the lotus flowers, men and women move and stale, like the sea of flowers moving on the liquid pool.
Weiwan was sandwiched between everyone, dancing happily, she couldn't help but smile and squint her eyes slightly, and her upturned red lips also overflowed with heartfelt happiness. ,
"Are you always so happy? Mrs. Chung Yongbo? The man who was dancing with her suddenly whispered.
Weiwan was startled and couldn't help blurting out: "How did you recognize me?" ”
The man chuckled under his breath and whispered as he staggered with Weiwan, "You are different...... Your smile, your posture, your charm...... Even if you're all wearing the same costume and the same mask, you're so different, how could I not recognize you? ”
Wei Wan looked at the person next to her in surprise. Seeing that he was tall, broad-shouldered and broad-shouldered, wearing the same robe as the others, and wearing a mask on his face, he really couldn't recognize who it was. The dance is chic and elegant, with a strong and masculine beauty. Each glance back, a pair of eagle-sharp eyes burned brightly behind the mask.
This look was seen, and in an instant, Wei Wan suddenly remembered someone: "You are...... Your Majesty? ”
"You recognize me...... Does it mean that in your mind, I am also different? There was suppressed joy in his tone.
Wei Wan hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is unique in this Great Zhou Kingdom, of course, it is different. ”
At this time, the formation changed, but Wan took the opportunity to spin it off, deliberately spun it bigger, and turned to another place, and a woman occupied her original position.
Wei Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She was always uncomfortable in the face of the Holy Lord's compelling eyes.
But the next time she rotated, she saw the burning eyes behind the mask.
Emperor Jingxi also changed.
"You're hiding from me." Emperor Jing Xi's voice was low, not questioning, but affirmation, and a trace of blame and anger.
Wei Wan sighed secretly, but said innocently: "It's not a ...... on purpose"
"Lying. You did it on purpose! Once a person has a **, he will have no scruples, especially someone in my position...... I advise you to be careful! Do you know what I want to do? ”
Weiwan circled around Emperor Jingxi, her skirt was flying, and she said timidly: "The concubine doesn't dare to speculate on the holy will." ”
Emperor Jingxi stopped talking again.
The sound of silk and bamboo was full of ears, and the people dancing next to them were a few feet away from them...... In the sound of such music, at such a distance, no one will hear their conversation, right? Wei Wan thought uneasily. Why hasn't it been until the next melody? That way, there will be another swap of places......
