Emperor Chu squinted at him slightly, sneered, and shook his wide sleeves again, then took the torch handed by the chamberlain, and continued to walk to the half-human-high altar to light the sky lantern.

Ruan Sijie pinched his fingers and calculated, looked up at the sky again, waited for a while, and after making sure that the wind direction was stable, he said to the two waiters who were responsible for putting the sky lanterns, "Get up." ”

With a failed experience, whether it was Qin Tianjian or Emperor Chu, or other members of the royal family, they all stretched their necks and raised their heads, and their faces were inexplicably a little more nervous and staring at the rising sky lantern.

I'm afraid that what happened just now will be repeated and repeated.

The world often says that the good is not the spirit, but the bad spirit is not good; It is probably a direct portrayal of the group of royal family members in front of them, and the second sky lantern in front of them slowly flew above their heads again, but as if they had been secretly cursed, this sky lantern could not escape the doom of extinguishing and falling.

Seeing this, Emperor Chu's face directly turned into a black and dark ice block, and his eyes glanced at Qin Tianjian, which was a few points sharper than a sharp arrow.

If his gaze could kill, I believe that Qin Tianjian Ruan Sijie would have been Ling Chi several times under his cold and angry eyes.

However, it was useless for Emperor Chu to be angry, once this ritual began, there was no reason to give up halfway until it was successful.

Ruan Sijie didn't dare to meet his cold and angry gaze, so he could only hang his head tremblingly, and started his experience of reciting the sacrificial text for the third time, and even his voice seemed to tremble faintly.

It's no wonder that anyone staring at Emperor Chu like a nail under the slashing gaze of Emperor Chu will feel uncomfortable.

What's more, Emperor Chu is not an ordinary person, his gaze is powerful and oppressive, and just a faint glance is enough for people to bear, not to mention staring at it with anger and coercion.

After another round of repetition, Qin Tianjian buried his head deeply and said softly and respectfully to Emperor Chu, "I respectfully ask Your Majesty to light the sky lantern." ”

Emperor Chu snorted coldly, glanced at him angrily, but said lightly, "I see, Lord Ruan's head doesn't seem to be strong enough." ”

Ruan Sijie was shocked, subconsciously shrunk his neck, and when Emperor Chu turned around and held a torch to light the sky lantern, he quietly reached out and touched his head.

I'm really afraid that my head is just like what Emperor Chu just said, and it is not reliable.

But this God does not listen to his orders, how the wind blows and how it changes, which is what he can control.

Emperor Chu didn't care how Qin Tianjian was complaining in his heart, and after lighting the third sky lantern again, he glanced at it coldly, and then pursed his lips and said nothing.

However, this heaven seemed to be intent on opposing Emperor Chu today, no matter how Ruan Sijie prayed secretly, it was useless, and this third sky lantern could not rise even higher, and it continued the tragic fate of its companions before.

The three sky lanterns went out one after another, and this kind of bad luck had never been recorded in the past.

Emperor Chu glanced at Qin Tianjian fiercely, and he really wanted to throw off his hands and go down the stargazing tower directly.

However, as an emperor, he really can't be willful on this occasion.

He took a deep breath and glared at Qin Tianjian angrily for a long time before he suppressed his anger and commanded in a cold voice, "Go on." ”

He still doesn't believe it, and today's ritual of praying for rain will never come true.

He is dignified and dignified as the Son of Heaven, and this God really dares not to be asked by his Son of Heaven for the sincerity of the people.

Qin Tianjian could only bite the bullet, shrink his head and tremble again. Fortunately, the fourth sky lantern, which everyone was waiting for with bated breath, finally slowly but steadily rose above their heads, and then, in their thousands of prayers, gradually drifted away from their sight.

After that, two more lights were placed in succession, and they flew as high as they flew and how far they flew smoothly.

Qin Tianjian secretly let out a long sigh of relief, and the others couldn't help but quietly let out a long breath. While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they were all thinking that Emperor Chu should announce the completion of the ceremony, and Emperor Chu should be happy in his heart

However, Qin Tianjian quietly glanced at Emperor Chu, but saw that his face was calm, and Wei Ling's deep gaze swept over the pillar in the distance behind their group.

Suddenly raised his voice and said, "Master, please come and solve your doubts." ”

Qin Tianjian looked puzzled and surprised, and looked slightly sideways, and his mouth was still muttering in surprise, "Master"

The rest of the people seemed to be surprised, but Emperor Chu was still standing in front of them, so no one would make a noise or ask each other about it.

Then, I saw an old monk in a robe with his eyebrows lowered and walked slowly towards Emperor Chu.

His Royal Highness Liwang, who would never have been able to come to this kind of ceremony in the past, is standing on the platform of this stargazing tower uncharacteristically today, of course, the top members of the royal family such as the crown prince will naturally not be absent from this kind of occasion.

The prince saw an old monk suddenly appear from the stairs of the stargazing tower, and said that he was not surprised, but it was false. But seeing that although the others were also surprised, no one questioned it, his eyes rolled, and naturally he would not be so stupid as to make a bird to make Emperor Chu unhappy.

Chu Lige didn't seem to care about the appearance of this old monk at all, and his long eyelashes lowered slightly, covering the light in his cold eyes, and no one could get a glimpse of the emotions in it.

The queen seemed to glance at the old monk intentionally or unintentionally, and it seemed that her cold gaze had inadvertently glanced at Chu Lige, but it was as if no one had seen it, her cold face was still cold, she was standing not far from Emperor Chu, holding the most dignified and noble posture, and her eyes were as cold as a perfect sculpture encompassing everything in front of her.

"The master has already seen it on the side just now," Emperor Chu glanced at the solemn-looking old monk, and his self-exerting and majestic tone exuded a faint respect, "I also ask the master to clear up your doubts." ”

Emperor Chu said, and the corners of his eyes seemed to sweep towards Chu Lige intentionally or unintentionally; Chu Lige looked more like a monk than the old monk, looking like an old monk, maintaining an elegant, noble, upright and straight posture, standing still, not even moving his eyebrows.

However, if you look closely, you must see that the corners of his beautiful curved lips were quickly hooked just now, and the slightly hooked lines were vaguely cold and sarcastic.

The crown prince was still confused, "Father, is this master better at contemplating celestial statues than Lord Ruan?"

When Qin Tianjian Ruan Sijie heard this, his cheeks couldn't help but twitch fiercely.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you can't speak, don't speak; Even if you keep your mouth shut, no one will treat you as dumb.

Emperor Chu squinted his eyes slightly and glanced coldly at the prince, and then seemed to let out a low and cold snort, but he drifted away with the wind.

When the prince heard the faint cold snort, he thought about it for a while, and finally realized that there was something wrong with the question he had just asked, and his face couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Emperor Chu wouldn't answer him, and naturally he wouldn't care whether his face was natural or embarrassed, he only looked up at the old monk and said, "Master, please." ”

"Amitabha," the old monk clasped his palms together, and made a long announcement of the Buddha's name, his wrinkled eyelids suddenly lifted, and two rays of cold and powerful light shot out, and accurately fell on the brocade-clothed man who was as graceful as an iceberg and jade tree, "Your Majesty, the sky lantern is extinguished at three o'clock, all because there are people present who carry something extremely heavy on the yin and evil aura." ”

I saw that Chu Lige's eyes seemed to be deeper, and the corners of his lips seemed to be slightly curved in a shallow and sarcastic arc.

However, this subtle change was not visible to anyone except himself, and others saw His Royal Highness Liwang as indifferent as an iceberg, even the cold gaze of the old monk that obviously meant something fell on him.

can be nothing under the double fierce gaze of Emperor Chu and this monk, but I am afraid that there will be no more than three people present.

Seeing this, Emperor Chu had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, and he was indifferent to his light wind and didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

His eyelashes fanned, and Emperor Chu immediately cooperated, "What is the Yin and Evil Qi, and what impact does this have on today's ritual?"

The old monk moved his eyelids meaningfully, and then glanced at Chu Lige again, and then said in a deep voice, "The so-called yin and evil qi is the accumulation of too much resentment in a person's body, and this resentment may be caused by excessive resentment in the heart, or it may be born with evil in life. ”

"As for the impact on today's ceremony, I believe Your Majesty has just seen it, putting the sky lantern to pray for the people to pray for the sky is a good thing to accumulate blessings and do good, and naturally it is against this heavy yin and evil qi, so that at the beginning, three consecutive sky lanterns will not be able to rise and float away."

The old monk paused, his wrinkled eyelids drooped, and he really looked like a generation of monks.

The corners of Chu Lige's mouth were lightly hooked, and he waited to see how this monk who deceived people and didn't make drafts could justify himself.

"Fortunately, Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, and he has his own heavenly protection and his own true qi to protect himself, and the deep yin and evil qi is entangled, and this ceremony is finally completed."

Emperor Chu's eyes moved, and his cold face showed a slight expression, "Dare to ask the master, who is there who carries the extremely heavy yin and evil qi in the present?"

When he said the first half of the sentence, Emperor Chu's tone was still smooth and gentle, but in the second half of the sentence, it suddenly became sharp and cold.

Just listening to this tone, it makes people feel that there is a sense that he wants to find this person and punish him severely.

For a while, the hearts of all the royal family members on this stargazing tower were tense, and everyone was afraid that they would be unlucky to become the person under the finger of this old monk who carried something extremely heavy on the evil spirit.

It actually affected today's ritual of sacrificing to the sky and praying for rain, if it was really found out in public, presumably Emperor Chu would never spare it.

Emperor Chu didn't seem to see the appearance of everyone in the audience, but instead looked at the old monk again, and urged, "Please also ask the master to point out this person." ”

Chu Lige stood expressionlessly with a handsome waist, standing as tall as a snow-capped mountain and a green pine, and no one could find a trace of emotional fluctuations from his thrush-like eyes.

His indifferent and lonely posture seemed to be staring at everyone, as if he was looking at everything, but as if no one could enter his eyes as vast and deep as a pool.

Emperor Chu glanced at him silently, his eyebrows unconsciously frowned slightly, and he glanced sideways at the old monk's gaze, slightly condensed a little impatient.

"Your Majesty," the old monk seemed to hesitate slightly, "this object with a yin and evil aura was still on others before, but now it is on the poor monk." ”

When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but reprimand angrily, "It's just nonsense." ”

The cold eyes of the queen and Emperor Chu fell on the prince almost like sharp arrows, and the prince realized that he was about to exceed the rules just now.

Emperor Chu lowered his eyes when he saw him, but he still couldn't hide his wistful glance before turning his gaze back to the old monk.

But in his heart, he was thinking that the prince had stayed in this prince position for too long, and he might have been a little impatient.

"Amitabha," the old monk pronounced the Buddha's name with his palms together, his eyes drooping, not looking at anyone, but said slowly, "This object should not have appeared here, the poor monk thought that after the purification of the Dharma, it could already dissolve its anger and evil spirit; Unexpectedly, this thing is so heavily corroded that it can't even be suppressed in the land of Buddhism. ”

Almost everyone present heard it in the clouds, and Emperor Chu also heard it in the clouds, but it didn't matter, what mattered was that what the old monk said next would be useful to him.

No matter what kind of yin and evil qi he purifies, Emperor Chu's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness; Chu Lige's slightly drooping eyes turned into a strange light and shadow, and the light and shadow seemed to pass by Emperor Chu and seemed to float towards the queen. It also seems that it has only been swirling under his eyes.

And almost at the same time, a strange sneer also rolled out of the cold eyes on the queen's cold face.

After a moment of eerie silence on the stargazing tower, Emperor Chu said angrily, "Please point out this harmful bastard." ”

Hurtful bastards

Chu Lige's eyes darkened, and this man asked him to remember what he said for a while.

The old monk suddenly sighed, lifted his eyelids very helplessly, and looked at Chu Lige fixedly, "Donor, please explain to Your Majesty by yourself." ”

"I believe that as long as you explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly, Your Majesty will definitely forgive you."

Seeing that the person who was brought out was Chu Lige, the rest of the royal family members on the platform couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, and the crown prince immediately showed a gloating look, squinting his eyes and swept over, "Your Royal Highness Liwang, I didn't expect that scourge to be you; But the master is right, if you can explain the ins and outs of the matter, your father will forgive you. ”

Chu Lige didn't raise his head, and a faint cold glow flashed across the queen's eyebrows; After a while, he said slowly, "As a monk, the master should know that speaking is equivalent to betraying the Buddha. ”

Although today's ceremony of worshiping the sky and praying for rain is carried out in a small area among the members of the royal family, if this matter is confirmed by this old monk, she may only have to apologize with death in the end.

The old monk's heart jumped, but naturally he wouldn't say anything to defend himself at this time.

"Since the master has pointed out that I am carrying something with extremely heavy yin and evil energy, can you please ask the master to take out the demon that has been purified in Buddhism and show it to everyone to see" Emperor Chu frowned, and the queen was stunned
