It's good to be a fool, you will be satisfied with a bite of food, who cares about the rights and wrongs of the court, but now you can only resign yourself to fate, you can't ask for anything, and you don't dare to ask for it, just live in a mess.

It rained fiercely.

A group of soldiers dragged the spirit masters through the mud soup, and a little spirit master who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old slipped under his feet, and he was planted in it at once, and he couldn't help but squat and wipe his tears, and the tears fell down with a click.

The soldiers sighed, they weren't too vicious, they helped them stand up, and they found someone to buy a small box of snacks from the open teahouse on the side of the road.

"Eat, eat a sweet tooth and you'll not be afraid."

The others turned their heads as if they hadn't seen it.

Most of these spirit masters are not prisoners, when they took over the task, there was a message from above, except that they should not be allowed to run around, they must be brought to the place, and other aspects should be more thoughtful.

Other soldiers and servants were flustered and often didn't give a good face, but he wouldn't do this, and told his subordinates to be polite, who are these people? Before today, they were all heavenly figures, and it was difficult for them to even meet each other.

The decree of the imperial court is not to say any living sacrifice, but to let them get rid of this evil for the country, but the national teacher said that only by sacrificing the spirit master can the great trouble of the world be solved.

The wind whined.

When the rain hits a person's head, face, and body, it hurts as much as a stick hits a person.

Qu Wu's back straightened, and her eyes were closed, recalling in her mind the few volumes of notes she had just read, which had not been peaceful recently. The elders of the family specially sent it to her, so that when something happened, she had a precaution.

"Hurry up, everyone, keep up, it's coming soon."

Fifteen miles out of the city, it is the Mingxi Palace, which is the emperor's palace, and the sacrificial platform of the Great Zhou is built here.

People from all directions, from the north to the south, east and west, came one after another.

There is a case in front of the door of Mingxi Palace. Next to him stood a little eunuch with a red face and white teeth. Take a note with a pen.

Most of the eunuchs can't read, and those who can read and have not been killed can only be the emperor's cronies, which is young. The surrounding palace people brought tea and water. Be courteous. In short, you can't offend, of course, if you please someone. It would be better to be taken back to the palace.

There is no future in the palace, they are palace people, the palace maids are fine, they can always be released at the end of the year, but the little eunuchs don't expect to get out of the palace, if they can't get closer to the emperor, without a good master, there will really be no chance of getting ahead in that life.

"Seventy-three."

The little eunuch silently said, "Enough." ”

He stood for a few more moments, and after a while, a horse came quickly, and before the knight on the horse had left the horse, he shouted in a loud voice: "Long live the word - order the people of the capital to go to the Mingxi Palace to watch the festival." ”

The little eunuch was stunned.

The others were stunned.

This is a bit strange, in the past, the serious festivals were rarely let the people of Pingtou come to see, to the dignitaries and nobles are willing to come, this festival is likely to die, it is destined to be a big lively, they these palace people can't run, if they can run, they will run far away in the morning, those 'sacrifices' are big living people, or very resistant spirit masters, this is going to make trouble, who knows what chaos will happen, now it's good, to take the initiative to let those Pingtou people come to add chaos.

But since it is the will, they are ready to entertain.

The sacrificial roof of Mingxi Palace is old, and it has been built for more than 100 years, and it was built in the early days of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Since today's son ascended the throne, it has not been used much, and even the annual year-end festival is held in the palace or the national teacher's mansion.

This time, the emperor did not show up, and the national teacher personally invited him to worship the heavens here, and this aspect of the matter has always been the decision of the national teacher, and this time is no exception.

The altar is different from the National Teacher's Mansion and the palace in it, it is red, with a black light, and mysterious runes are drawn on it, and there are also half-height tripods around them, and the incense burning in the tripod is arm-thick.

The incense was not extinguished under the heavy rain, the smoke was swirling, hazy, and many disciples of the National Teacher's Mansion were there, all of them were pale and frightened.

The palace people whispered.

There are so many people here, although they may be in a bad mood, but Mingxi Palace is visibly lively with the naked eye.

After a while, two carriages galloped outside, and when the carriage stopped, an old man in a dark robe came down.

This person has white hair, a high nose, and light lips, although he is an old man, he can see that he must have a good appearance when he was young.

The second carriage also came down with a person, this person is familiar with the palace people, it is Zhao Feng of Qin Tianjian, Zhao Tianshi.

"National teacher."

Zhao Feng walked a few steps quickly, saluted first, the national teacher smiled, turned his head and signaled, and the two of them took the stage together.

Standing on the altar, Zhao Feng didn't speak for a while, but the expression of the national teacher looked very relaxed, and asked with a smile: "You have practiced for many years, and you can be regarded as a discerning eye, take a look, how is the national fortune of our Great Zhou." ”

It's a bit of a big topic.

Zhao Feng was silent.

The national teacher smiled, turned his head to look at the few spirit masters who came over under the altar, and asked with a smile: "What do you say, how is the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty?" ”

Qu Wu came back to his senses, heard the question, raised his eyebrows, looked very serious, sighed and said: "The national fortunes of all dynasties are fixed, to a certain extent, the national fortunes will naturally decline, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is no exception, look at the national capital, it is originally surrounded by mountains and rivers and seas, solid as gold, but in recent years, the gas is also turbid, the water is also dirty, good purple gas, about to turn into black gas, you do your best to make up for it, think of all kinds of methods, now look at the purple gas rising, the national fortune is prosperous, but this is all a table, it is all rotten, sooner or later it will collapse." ”

Zhao Feng frowned, and his face changed greatly.

Qu Wu snorted: "What, do you think I speak ugly?" It is better to go through the feng shui records of various countries in the early years, in the last years of the Chen Kingdom, the feng shui in their capital is about the same as the current Yong'an City. ”

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

The national teacher stood on the altar and looked at the audience silently, there were already many people below, and there were dozens of spirit masters in the front.

Behind are hundreds of ordinary people.

The national teacher is dressed in a legal robe. In the heavy rain, there was no moisture at all, his face was serious, and he spoke softly, but the voice could be heard clearly by everyone in the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as of today, it has rained heavily for the nineteenth day, and the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River have been flooded, and tens of thousands of victims have been displaced, and if the water god is not appeased, he will surrender. This heavy rain will not stop. It will only get more and more intense, and when the time comes, the key land of Gyeonggi will be a piece of Heze, and we will be able to escape with our lives. I won't be at ease in the future. As a spiritual master. At this moment, we should take responsibility and plan for the people of the world. Appease the god of water and shelter the Great Zhou. ”

There was silence down there.

After a long time, someone sighed: "It is appropriate to appease the god of water, so many of us are here, each with its own means, please ask the court to preside over the festival, disperse the thick clouds and rain, and calm the disaster." ”

The other spirit masters all looked ugly, but they also reluctantly responded.

They were all forcibly brought by the imperial court, and they must not be able to leave, even if they are spiritual masters, they have all kinds of means, but there are people in the imperial court and soldiers, can they still resist strongly? You may be able to run away, but what about your family?

Most of the children in the family are ordinary people, what should they do? Unless it's a real troubled time, what good end can you do against the court!

It's just that they must have to fight hard, and this time they came with a soft suit, but they didn't want to die, but they wanted to live.

"It's just that there are rumors, and the court doesn't know very clearly, which water god is causing trouble? We have to know the whole story before we can prescribe the right medicine. ”

The national teacher laughed softly, and his eyes were very gentle: "I am very relieved that you have this determination, but I don't know the true body of the water god, it is possible to control the water and cause natural disasters, it must be unusual, you must be prepared." ”

The atmosphere suddenly stiffened.

Some of the young spirit masters couldn't help but shiver.

Finally, someone couldn't help it, raised his eyebrows, and sneered: "What preparation?" When the sacrifice is fed to the god of water? I don't eat the court, and I haven't been canonized by the court, and I don't want to send myself to death, but I won't go. ”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he fell to the ground, sweating profusely, and couldn't say a word.

At this time, everyone found that there seemed to be some formations near the altar, which made people weak and couldn't lift their aura, and they didn't even notice it when they came.

Everyone's faces became even more ugly, but they didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Most of the people present are young spirit masters, with a lot of potential, but their cultivation is poor, and there are only a few people such as Qu Wu, who may not be bad, but they are only weak spirit masters, where can they resist the imperial court.

And this time it happened suddenly, the court suddenly attacked, and they didn't even have time to prepare.

Although the atmosphere was solemn, the expression of the national teacher was still very gentle, he sighed, and said in a loud voice: "I know you have complaints, but please take a look, this is the land of the Great Zhou, we are the subjects of the Great Zhou, our parents and grandparents have lived in this land for generations, this is our home, can you really watch the living beings devastated and indifferent?" Do nothing but wait for the catastrophe to come? ”

He stood on the high altar, although the clouds were thick, but he had a strong momentum on him, and he was awe-inspiring.

"At least I, I'm willing to pay any price for the sake of my parents and relatives, the land where my ancestors have lived for generations."

A group of spirit masters were silent.

After a long time, someone suddenly shouted in a piercing voice: "I heard that the county lord of Rong'an provoked this Laoshizi water god, is it true or false?" ”

"That's right, it seems that she wants to serve the water god, but she is not good at what she does, so that she angers the water god, is it true?"

Others are also gnashing their teeth.

There have been a lot of rumors in the capital these days, and the light is bizarre, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

The national teacher shook his head and sighed compassionately: "At this point, it is pointless to pursue it, and the county lord of Rong'an is likely to have gone." ”

He didn't say it explicitly, but the disappointment and regret that couldn't be hidden in his expression, as well as the meaning revealed in and out of his words, it was obvious that the culprit was Xia Hongchen, the county lord of Rong'an.

There was an uproar under the altar.

That's the national teacher, how could the national teacher lie?

Not only the spiritual masters, but also the people felt like something was burning in their chests, angry, crazy, all kinds of emotions accumulated.

They all forgot at this moment that their homes might still enshrine the immortal tablet of the Lord of Rong'an.

Qu Wu frowned and said sharply: "Nonsense! How could Xia Hongchen be such a rash person? ”

But she is alone, she is still a woman, and she is taken care of by the national teacher, how much storm can she set off in a messy situation.

The national teacher didn't look at her, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, don't be impatient, sacrificing to appease the water god is not necessarily necessary to use living people, please look here." ”

As soon as he waved his hand, several disciples behind him casually opened a wooden box that appeared on the altar at some point.

Inside, a half-crippled dinglai was revealed.

"This is Zhenguo Ding, which is made of the dark iron from the top of Kunlun taken by countless immortal masters, which can not only suppress the national fortune, but also suppress all the monsters in heaven and earth."

He patted the wooden box, and showed a somewhat sympathetic smile on his face, "Over the years, I have caught the monsters who made trouble, and they were all imprisoned in Zhenguo Ding, and now these monsters have turned into the purest aura, which is a great supplement to the water god, it must like it, this sacrifice, first use these auras as sacrifices, if there is a case, it is the time for everyone to contribute." ”

There was a growing silence under the altar.

The spirit masters also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Moreover, I will stand on the altar and be with everyone, I promise, do my best, make this sacrifice a good one, so that everyone will be safe!"

If the national teacher said this at the beginning, everyone would still not be satisfied, after all, they were in danger, but at the beginning, whether it was the court or the national teacher, they were extremely tough, they were facing ten deaths, and they were desperate in their hearts.

In a flash, the spirits were embraced onto the altar.

There were two people around each spirit master, wearing a magic robe and a golden crown on their heads, and the national teacher also held up a bejeweled long sword and danced wildly with the wind and rain.

At first glance, the long sword knew that it was a very remarkable magic weapon.

"Look, what's that?"

Countless people watched intently.

The wind blew the robe, the hem of the clothes fluttered, the national teacher was sweating all over his body, and the shadow of a golden dragon hovered beside him, sometimes rushing into the sky, sometimes lying on the ground.

"Wow!"

Even the spirit master couldn't help but exclaim.

The golden dragon looks menacing and very powerful, and people are calmed by its majestic majesty at a glance, and even their breathing is stagnant.

Not far away, several spirit masters surrounded Lin Xu, standing in the wind, and one of them was also fascinated, sighing: "It is worthy of being a national teacher, it is really strong, I am afraid that our plan will be difficult to work, sir, do you have any backhand?" ”

Lin Xu was silent and suddenly sighed.

Such a shocking scene was originally what their family Hongchen was good at, and that person was born with the ability to shock.

"If I want to talk about the backhand, I can only hope for her."

Will she come? She won't die, absolutely not.

Lin Xu frowned, he didn't know at this time, whether he hoped that Hongchen would come, or that she would not come.

The situation at hand......

The more the national teacher dances, the more agile he becomes.

The golden dragon is also becoming clearer and clearer.

The common people knelt down and bowed one after another, with a face of piety, tears streaming down their faces, and they were very excited.

Even the thick clouds in the sky seemed to be covered by golden light.

The sun's rays shone down, and the rain gradually became lighter. (To be continued.) )
