Chapter 108: Altar Trap
The hundreds of candles beside the altar illuminate as if it were daytime, which is very spectacular.
The best jadeite is carved into nine steps, and the huge stone tablet in the center of the altar is very eye-catching, and there is a huge golden lotus in all four directions of the stone tablet, which blooms all around.
The stele is engraved with dense history, and the words on it are painted with blood, layer after layer, striking and weird.
It is said that this is to repeat the words on it over and over again with the blood of each emperor in the four kingdoms before he died, and no one has taken evidence as to whether it is true or false.
The stone tablet records in detail the deeds of Shikoku over the past few hundred years, and there are naturally merits and mistakes.
The purpose is nothing more than to let the emperor learn a lesson, govern the country with benevolence, and put the people first.
The festival stipulates that the festival must wear plain clothes and wear a wooden hairpin, which means to be sympathetic to the people's feelings and share the joys and sorrows with the people.
Ladies who have not left the cabinet are also required to wear veils to cover their faces.
Xiao Shengge put on a veil, revealing a smooth and snow-white forehead, and countless candlelight were reflected in his beautiful eyes, like stars, but with a cold and lonely feeling. In the wide water sleeves, the soft Rouyi held a white jade flute.
In the dark, Mu Qing held the wine jug, leaned against the trunk of the tree on the side, and spit out a sentence lightly, "The second brother hasn't found the poor child of Jinjun yet?"
A figure flashed beside Mu Qing, his hands behind his back, and his snow-white hair set off the snow-white colorless handsome face.
He was as pale as a dead man except for his black eyes.
"Since she said goodbye that time, until she died, I didn't know that she gave birth to a daughter for me, but I was incompetent, and after looking for so long, I still ......" His voice was hoarse and low, and his words were full of pain and remorse.
Mu Qing took a sip of the liquor, his old face was slightly red, "Second brother, don't blame yourself, the blood is connected, and we will meet in the end." ”
Song Nianbai snatched the wine jug and drank the liquor in the jug, the wine constantly stimulated the stomach, and it was hot and painful.
Mu Qing frowned, his old face darkened, and he snatched the wine jug, "Your poison hasn't been solved yet, how can you drink?"
His eyes were closed, and his white eyelashes covered the sockets.
"Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart. But for the sake of the king, he has been groaning so far. Song Nianbai spit out a few lines of poetry, desolate and sad.
"......" Mu Qing glanced at Song Nianbai with hatred, "It's evil." ”
......
More than a dozen white dancers danced a sacrificial dance around the stone monument, constantly singing strange notes, some of which were indescribably strange.
Xiao Shengge looked at the altar, her face was slightly cold, she had seen the sacrificial dance in her previous life, it was plain, and she could remember those few movements before and after.
And now the jumping on it, the position seems simple, but in fact, the law is hidden in it.
Dozens of people danced throughout the altar, always consciously or unconsciously avoiding a few places, which ordinary people may not notice, and even if they notice, they may only think that it is a unique design of the sacrificial dance.
The chief eunuch carefully held the tray, on which was a glass bowl, the bowl was covered by a lid, and the red color could still be seen inside.
The manager came to Xiao Shengge and saluted Yun Chen, before he said to Mo Yu with a serious face.
"Second Miss, this is Sendai Dew, and it needs to be served by a woman with both ability and political integrity and a noble status to serve it to the golden lotus on the altar. ”
Xiao Shengge's face did not change, waiting for the next step from the manager.
A hint of surprise flashed in the manager's eyes.
"Our family was ordered by the emperor to hand over Sendai Lu to the second miss, which shows the emperor's importance to the second miss. The manager handed the things in his hand to Xiao Shengge.
After Xiao Shengge took it, he smelled a trace of blood and immediately understood what it was.
"Ying Xi will live up to expectations. Xiao Shengge spit out a few words.
Also receiving this so-called Sendai Lu are Song Qiyao, Zhongli Moyou, and Zhuo Tian.
Xiao Shengge glanced at the route, his eyes were filled with coldness, almost every step would run into a place avoided by more than a dozen dancers above, it was obvious that this was a trap, a trap specifically aimed at her.
The corners of Xiao Shengge's mouth hooked up a sneer, but it didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.
The manager inexplicably felt a chill for no reason and shivered.
Xiao Shengge walked lightly and walked unhurriedly to the altar, and the other three came to the stage one after another.
It's a pity that she doesn't take the usual path, so what about her?
"Why did the princess have to go a long way?" Jiang Qi asked with a blank expression.
"Miss, don't guess. Xuan'er replied lightly.
“......”
Song Qiyao is dignified and elegant, every step seems to have been practiced for a long time, her face is as light as a cloud, but she is puzzled in her heart.
Ling Yanglu vowed that he would let Xiao Shengge be immortal and seriously injured when he stepped on the altar, but now everyone is about to walk to the stone tablet, and they are still safe.
Didn't Ling Yanglu lie to her?
No, Ling Yanglu still has to rely on her, she hates Xiao Shengge to the core, and she won't play her, so either Ling Yanglu miscalculated, or Xiao Shengge knew something.
Within five steps of Jin Lian, this is a place where dancers can't come, so whether there are traps in this place, Xiao Shengge doesn't know.
can calculate the distance of her steps, only those who have been paying attention to her for a long time and know her details.
One understood her steps, and the other calculated that the emperor would let her go to the altar, and the first thing Xiao Shengge suspected was Ling Yanglu.
Once, Ling Yanglu deliberately learned her steps, and she learned vividly, looking like seven or eight. Ling Yanglu will know, it is completely possible.
Xiao Shengge deliberately changed his pace, but still stepped on the mechanism.
Dense small holes appeared on the stele, and tiny silver needles continued to shoot out.
Generally speaking, at this time, the silver needles are highly poisonous.
Xiao Shengge's cold beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and his figure dodged the poisonous needle, dozens of poisonous needles crossed Xiao Shengge, but he didn't let the floor lampstand avoid it, and several of the lampstands were pierced like hedgehogs by silver needles.
Some stabbed innocent people, and in an instant the scene was chaotic, the two sons were highly poisoned, and Emperor Fuyue asked them to take the two down to detoxify.
Xiao Kong is still shooting poison needles, panicking.
The dancers on the altar drew their swords from the wide hem of their clothes, dodging the poisonous needles.
"Ah, Master, help!" As soon as Zhuo Tian put down the Sendai dew, he touched the mechanism, and the surrounding area collapsed, and there were five poisonous things inside.
Xiao Shengge put the things in his hand in the golden lotus, flashed to Zhuo Tian's side, glanced at the things underneath, grabbed Zhuo Tian's shoulder, and took Zhuo Tian away from there.
"Poof. As soon as he reached the ground, Zhuo poured out a mouthful of black blood, "Master, I ......"
After shocking Emperor Linyue and Linyue, he shouted: "Tilt!"
Xiao Shengge stretched out his hand and clicked on Zhuo Tian's several big holes, and a pill was fed to Zhuo Tian's mouth, and luck helped Zhuo Tian force poison.
Zhuo Tian's face improved, and Xiao Shengge collected his internal strength, "Master, how did it become like this here?"
"I don't know, I'll send you out first. Xiao Shengge took Zhuo to Lin Yuehou's side and handed Zhuo to Lin Yuehou.
Zhongli Moyou and Song Qiyao also stepped on the mechanism, and poisonous needles, poisonous arrows, and poisons poured in all directions.
The spies hidden in the crowd drew their swords and fought with the guards.
The dancers dodged various mechanisms and attacked Xiao Shengge.
The white jade flute in Xiao Shengge's sleeve slid into his hand, his figure flashed, and he solved a few spies by the way, and came to Yun Chen's side.
"There's oil in the ground. Yun Chen's face was cold, and his phoenix eyes looked at the people fleeing in all directions.
"And brimstone and saltpeter. Xiao Shengge glanced at the people who were attacking her.
Yun Chen's face turned a little cold.
Xuan'er frowned, five fingers and one finger, and a few more iron beads with the size of a fingernail between her fingers, she waved her hand, and the iron beads mixed with internal force pierced the heads of those people.
