Chapter Forty-Eight: Substitution

The high-rise buildings of the night strings of the city have the dancing sleeves of the city and the country. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The thin figure stood on the high steps, the cold wind running through the ends of his hair, bringing sadness and hatred.

Sha Mujie looked at the back of the black-robed man, and the expression on his face was also taken away by the winter wind. The sand curtain was silent, and neither was the prayer.

In order to stay awake at any time, Ming Qiran has been accustomed to using this emaciated body to contact the cold wind, and he is looking forward to it, so he will wake up completely.

After a long time, he turned around. Sha Mujue saw resentment and sadness in his eyes. The years have passed, what makes him still nostalgic and hateful?

"What are you going to tell me?"

"Have you seen Junlan?"

"I've seen it a few times." Sha Mu Jue saw Jun Lan twice, once the two fought without a winner, and the second time she took the initiative to ask Sha Mu Jue to meet.

"What did she say to you?"

Sha Mu looked at this man with a smile and asked. "She said she loved Stygian and it was all for his good."

"It turned out that she was doing it for this reason. Hmph, my own son, I will protect myself, how can I need such stupid help from her. ”

He angrily crushed the stone lion on the pillar, but he could imagine how strong the anger in his heart was.

"I'm sure you heard what the old woman said, about this hundred-year-old sacrifice."

Sha Mujue had always thought it was a lie from that woman, but the tone of the Ming Prayer Ran didn't look like a lie. "Is that true?"

"A living sacrifice held once every hundred years, and this sacrifice must be the pure blood of the royal family."

“…… Is it the cold fall? The sand curtain began to sympathize with the cold fall.

"Hmph, even if the seal is destroyed, the demon appears, and the world is overturned, I will not send Luo'er to the altar."

Sha Mujue finally smiled sincerely. "Why are you telling me this?"

"I'm going to let you go up to the altar instead of Luo'er." Sha Mujue finally figured out what Jun Lan said at the beginning, their abacus played the same, but is it really good to say it so clearly?

"Aren't you afraid I'll run?"

"If you go to the altar, I can naturally ensure that you come down safely, and you don't want Luo'er to die."

"You have four sons, you can choose another one." If the Dark Fall is a necessary sacrifice, then replacing him with him and the other three princes should have the same result now.

"No one can replace him but you."

"What's the difference?"

"You'd better not know." I don't want to tell anyone about this matter, let those unbearable past events rot with the passage of time.

Sha Mujue guessed that he didn't want to say more, but he probably didn't bother to deceive him.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Sha Curtain, don't do anything that makes Luo'er hate you. This is my advice to you. If you dare to hurt him, I will not spare you. ”

Sha Mu really didn't expect that the famous emperor also had unreasonable times, and told him bluntly to let him fall on the altar for the cold weather. Although he won't die, I'm afraid the result won't be much better.

Sha Mujue suddenly became interested in the secrets of the Hades Gate, and he wanted to find out what he wanted to know, even if it was earth-shattering.

The coming-of-age ceremony of the four highnesses came in the cold wind, and the entire palace was solemn and solemn, and the troops lined up in an orderly manner at the palace gate. There were tens of thousands of people lined up at the gate of the quiet palace, but they couldn't hear any sound.

The morning sun wind is very small, although the air is very cold and cold, but the people in Shengyang City still stand on both sides of the street early to watch the ceremony, the four princes will go to the ancestral temple of the phoenix top to worship the ancestors, and then fast for three days.

Chengfengding is located in the west of Shengyang, this mountain is towering like a cloud, isolated and straight, there are heavy guards all the year round, even if it is a person in the royal family can not enter unless necessary, the mystery of this Fengding is better than the Shenglou of the Dynasty.

In addition to the eldest prince staying in the palace, the emperor will bring the other two princes and the cold fall to the top of the phoenix. The courtiers of high morality will also accompany them, and it will be a great gift for them to go to the top of the phoenix, even if they cannot reach the top.

A long line formed in the mighty procession, and the cold fell quietly in the carriage, which was made of gild, spacious and luxurious, and drove smoothly, and even the tea on the table did not shake. The breeze stirred the white veil, and the common people watching the carriage could finally catch a glimpse of the four princes through the cracks. Today's cold fall is dressed in a white robe embroidered with a colorful phoenix, a purple jade crown on his head, his face is like white fat, and he is as calm as water. Xiu Chenyan, who was standing alone in the crowd, was shocked by what he saw, and he pushed aside the crowd and chased all the way towards the carriage. Guards with spears in their hands stood on both sides of the road, and when they saw that he was acting suspiciously, they seemed to have a motive to ram the carriage and immediately stopped him. Xiu Chenyan just wanted to confirm whether the person in it was cold, and he wanted to call his name, but the person next to him covered his mouth.

Xiao Shichen was the accompanying physician, he rode a horse and followed behind the carriage, and when he sat high, he saw Xiu Chenyan at a glance, and when he saw that he was about to get into trouble, he immediately dismounted and stopped him.

If you shout it, you won't be able to end today. All around were Praetorian Guards, and the emperor's carriage was not far ahead.

"Don't want to die? Do you know what you're doing? ”

Xiao Shichen's tone of voice was a little heavy, he was really worried about this friend. is so reckless, I don't even know that I lost my life.

Xiuchen looked at the carriage in the distance and pushed Xiao Shichen away.

"Are the people in the carriage Hanluo?"

Xiu Chen's voice was a little empty, Xiao Shichen really couldn't imagine his persistence, for a person who met in Pingshui, and it was also a man, even if they were happy, it would be difficult to be good.

"Yes, since you have seen it, I will tell you the truth, he is the fourth prince today, and his status is noble, not comparable to a prodigal son like you."

Xiuchen is sad from the heart, and the distance between them is not only the disparity in identity, but also the hatred between the two families that is difficult to resolve.

"Repair the dust, you die. From now on, there will be no more you in his life, and you will continue to be your dashing prodigal son. ”

Although Xiao Shichen was reasonable, he couldn't let go of the dust cultivation.

"I ......"

"Hey, I really don't understand you people, I have to go, you can do it yourself." Xiao Shichen had already persuaded him several times, but with little success, he knew that it was useless to say more, so forget it.

Let it be, and maybe there will be a good outcome.

This road is very smooth, it is noon to reach the top of the phoenix, the ancestral temple is built on the top of the high mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain paved with a stone staircase step by step, towering into the clouds, there is no end in sight. From here on, everyone must dismount and walk, except for the emperor and a few princes and ministers of different statuses, and the rest of the entourage must stay in the palace at the foot of the mountain.

This stone staircase, which is difficult to see through, makes people's legs weak when they look at it. From the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside, there were guards standing tall, and their chests were straightened, like soldiers waiting for the general's inspection.

The emperor never let go of the hands of the four princes and stepped on the high stone steps with him. He will deliver him to the gods with his own hands.

Halfway up the mountain, it was as if they were already in the clouds, and from here, no one except the emperor and the four princes could continue to walk, and they would stay in the Yuquan Palace halfway up the mountain and wait for three days.
