She Yi waved her finger and vetoed Ruoruo's idea.

"Uncle, is the sacrifice you mentioned in this lake?"

Ruoruo frowned and spoke.

"Huh......"

If your eyes light up, point to the inside of the lake...... The surface of the lake was rippling, and there were a few dark shadows flashing inside, fleeting......

"Shh......h Don't talk ......"

She Yi gestured to Ruoruo.

Ruoruo nodded.

After a while, the lake gradually calmed down.

"Alright...... Let's go back......"

……

The day passed in the blink of an eye, night fell, and the sky was shining with stars.

In the west of Luoyang City, by Luoyang Lake, there is a small courtyard, and a wooden sign is hung on the gate, and the three words Lianhu House are written on the sign.

In this small courtyard lived a blind old man, who usually did not speak to anyone, and spent most of his time at the gate basking in the sun.

There are three cottages in the courtyard...... In the night, it was dark and ......

It was at this time that a black shadow jumped down from the courtyard wall, and several ups and downs appeared. With a creak, he pushed open the door of a room. It was a strong, red-faced man. Also...... Kim Sung-moo.

Jin Chengwu stood at the door, the fire cracked for a while, and some bright light appeared in the room.

In the darkness, an old man in a gray robe with silver hair sat in a chair in front of him. The old man's eyes were closed and he had a cane in his hand. His ears moved slightly, as if he heard the identity of the coming, and nodded slightly.

"Senior Hong, how is the county lord's Gu technique learning?"

Jin Chengwu put the lantern and hugged his fist and saluted, and asked respectfully, such a humble attitude.

"Well, although Wanqi is clever, she is mentally incomplete, and she can't comprehend the mystery after all...... Let's take it with you......"

The silver-haired old man said lightly.

"Okay."

Jin Chengwu nodded helplessly.

"Senior, did that Ji Dian ever control it?"

The silver-haired old man nodded.

Jin Chengwu breathed a sigh of relief...... The true identity of this old man is a little scary to say. Twenty years ago, everyone on the rivers and lakes was feared, and he was the one who was famous for his poison and medical skills...... In addition, he also has another identity, which is the father-in-law of Rongwang Zhao Jing and the grandfather of Zhao Wanqi.

Zhao Wanqi's medical skills were also learned from Tian Chanzi.

The silver-haired old man's left hand was on the chair on the left, and there was a rumbling sound on the wall behind him...... A stone door opened.

A secret room appears.

Zhao Jing walked in, the secret room was brightly lit, there was a bed in the southwest corner, and a stone table was placed next to it, and there were a few pieces of rice paper, a stack of books, and pen and ink on the stone table......

A woman in white was sitting at a stone table, holding a brush in her hand, concentrating on something...... When he heard the door open, he looked up, then lowered his head again, and drew intently......

This woman in white is none other than Zhao Wanqi, who disappeared for a while.

"County Lord......"

Jin Chengwu stepped forward and stood next to the stone table to see what Zhao Wanqi had drawn. On the rice paper, there is a strange table pattern, on the table is a teapot, a teacup is placed next to the teapot, and next to it is a strange bag the size of a palm. On the bag, the word "hairy tip" is written.

"Huh? Lord, what is the meaning of your drawing? Why can't my subordinates understand ......?"

"If you can understand, it's weird......"

Zhao Wanqi raised her head and said disdainfully.

"Why?"

Jin Chengwu asked puzzled.

"Because the lord of this county is a scribble......"

Zhao Wanqi put down the pen and stared at the two words "hairy tip" on the rice paper for a while...... Suddenly, he reached out and picked up this piece of rice paper, grabbed it in his hand, crumpled it into a paper ball two or three times, and threw it under the bed.

Jin Chengwu glanced down at the bed, and it seemed that a lot of paper balls had been lost under the bed...... It seems that Zhao Wanqi threw it down like this.

Jin Chengwu raised his head and smiled...... glanced at the books on the table, and the top cover of the book was written - the word "Poison Sutra".

"County Lord, the prince asked his subordinates to come over and ask you, how is the Gu art learned?"

Zhao Wanqi got out of bed and glared at Jin Chengwu.

"Learn from your sister...... The lord of this county is a god, do you need to learn these tricks! ”

"Ahem......"

Outside the secret room, the old man's cough was heard.

Zhao Wanqi looked outside and smiled......

"Grandpa, didn't Wanqi mean you......"

The old man's coughing stopped, and he sighed.

Zhao Wanqi walked out of the door of the secret room, came to the silver-haired old man, and gently slapped the old man's back. Jin Chengwu followed and walked out.

"You kid...... Let's go back...... How many years have you been learning such a simple Gu technique...... Haven't learned it yet...... Alas......"

The silver-haired old man waved his hand, very helpless.

"Grandpa, Wanqi has finished reading all your books, but she just can't understand them...... When Wanqi has time, she will learn slowly......"

Zhao Wanqi smiled......

"Well, go for it......"

The silver-haired old man pressed the button on the chair with his hand, and the stone door shut.

……

In the Rongwang Mansion, Zhao Jing sat in the center of the hall, and there were two rows of people standing on both sides, these people were men and women, and they wore all kinds of clothes, most of them were over forty years old.

Among them, Yue Fei's senior brother Hu Mingde also stood among them.

These people are the offerings of King Rong's Mansion, and they are actually King Rong's plainclothes bodyguards.

It was at this time that the door to the main hall opened...... Jin Chengwu walked in with Zhao Wanqi.

"Lord Wang, the county lord is back......"

Jin Chengwu clasped his fists and saluted.

"Daddy......"

Zhao Wanqi called Zhao Jing lukewarmly.

"Wanqi, I haven't seen these seniors yet!"

Zhao Jing frowned.

Zhao Wanqi gave two blessings to these people on both sides.

"Wanqi has seen all the seniors......"

"The county lord is very polite......"

"The county lord doesn't need to be polite......"

These people returned the salute one after another.

"Wanqi, these seniors are your masters these days...... From tomorrow onwards, a senior will teach you one of their stunts every day...... You have to study hard. There may only be one such opportunity...... Do you understand Daddy's words? ”

Zhao Jing said earnestly.

Zhao Wanqi's eyes lit up, and her heart was happy, she liked these martial arts the most...... One person for one day, just suitable for her surname of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days......

"Okay......"

……

In the blink of an eye, it was March, and the weather was getting warmer unconsciously...... The weeping willows beside the river are also inadvertently dyed green.

The peach blossoms and apricot blossoms are already in full bloom, and they are very beautiful...... Luoyang's most prestigious peony flower is also about to bloom...... (Peony, the artificial cultivation of Luoyang peony began in the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and the first world in the Northern Song Dynasty.) Later, with the transfer of the political center and the destruction of the famous garden in Luoyang, to the Southern Song Dynasty, Sichuan Tianpeng peony followed, and there was the prosperity of small Luoyang)

The matter of the Xintan Lake monster, few people say it again, Luoyang City is still prosperous, everything seems to have happened, and everything seems to be brewing...... Everything seems to have begun to ferment...... All that's missing is a gap.

There is a lot of strength in people, money can make ghosts grind, and the wisdom of the ancient people is also infinite, and the entire Hongchen Inn was built in less than twenty days, including the outer wall. The rest is the specific decoration, because the scale is large, it cannot be like the previous greenhouse and laboratory, and you must wait for a period of time before the house structure is dry before it can be decorated......

The etiquette on the day of completion, She Yi held it in a low-key manner, not as strong as when the construction started, but just had a table of meals with a few relevant bosses and officials in Zuixiang Pavilion.

Yue Mochou and Yue Shan'er's younger brother Yue Fei went back to Tangyin......

Xiaoyao Villa, She Yi and Ruoruo have been to it twice...... One of them, stayed there for two days. On the way back and forth, She Yi did not meet the man in black that he met again.

An Yixue still lives in Xiaoyao Villa...... To She Yi's surprise, An Yixue got a few carrier pigeons out of nowhere, and after simple training, the carrier pigeons were able to deliver messages to She Yi's house from Xiaoyao Villa. This made She Yi a little surprised, in this way, if he had anything to explain to An Yixue, he only needed a flying pigeon to pass the letter.

The thin monkey is still in Luoyang City, and he and Shopkeeper Jiang are at the disposal of She Yi, and they are responsible for the follow-up process of the Red Dust Inn.

At the same time, the news that Song Huizong came to Luoyang to worship the heavens was finally confirmed...... On March 15, Song Huizong led hundreds of officials of the imperial court to Luoyang to worship the sky, and at the same time, watched the auspicious omen of the Lingzhi of the house beam.

……

March 14...... Luoyang City, Jiafu, the yard is full of blooming peony flowers, She Yi stood in the pavilion, smiling at the peony flowers blooming in a yard, and the maid Xiaocui Xiaolan stood on both sides of She Yi on both sides.

Ruoruo was wearing a white dress, like a dancing white butterfly, shuttling among the peony flowers, and Ah Chou followed clumsily......

Yue Mochou and Yue Shan'er stood at the door of the main room, smiling at the ugly people who were playing in the peony bushes.

"Clouds want clothes, flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon. If it weren't for the jade mountain, I would meet the moon in Yaotai......"

"Childe, take the fan to ...... Sven"

Xiao Cui hurriedly handed the folding fan in her hand to She Yi.

"Huh...... You girl......"

She Yi knocked lightly, Xiao Cui's forehead, took the folding fan in Xiao Cui's hand, opened it with a bang, and gently shook it to buy and sell Sven. Yue Shan'er and Yue Mochou at the door sneered and smiled......

Ruoruo heard the laughter, stopped, looked back at She Yi, and smiled sweetly......

"Uncle, you're so handsome......"

The ugly is already the size of a puppy, with a black and white color, a cute demeanor, and a cute appearance. It caught up with Ruoruo, squatted beside Ruoruo, and saw Ruoruo looking at the pavilion over there, blinked, and also looked at She Yi.

"Young master, look, Ugly is also watching you......"

Xiaolan said with a smile.

Yue Mochou Yue Shan'er...... Laughed again......

……

At this moment, there was a creak and the door was pushed open...... At the gate, three women walked in side by side. These three women are also Zhao Wanqi, Fan Wei, and Chong Xiaoyuan.

"Wow......"

"Ah......h

"Oops...... What is this for? ”

The three women were surprised, they didn't expect that there were so many peony flowers in She Yi's yard.

"Sister Wanqi, Sister Xiaowei, Sister Xiaoyuan......"

Ruoruo called to the door.

"Well, Ruoruo is getting more and more beautiful, look at what the sisters bought for you......"

Fan Wei said with a smile, and Zhao Wanqi and Chong Xiaoyuan on the side also smiled slightly. In the entire Jia Mansion, except for She Yi, they are all very harmonious, including He Yue Mochou and the two maids.

Fan Wei took out a roll of silk wrapped in silk from Zhao Wanqi and shook it towards Ruoruo.

"Vicky ......"

Zhao Wanqi glared at Fan Wei.

"Sister Xiaowei, what is it......"

Ruoruo trotted over happily, Fan Wei handed the things in her hand to Ruoruo, Ruoruo opened the silk, and a golden hairpin appeared inside.

"Wow...... It's so beautiful......."

Ruoruo said in surprise, looking up at Zhao Wanqi, Fan Wei, and Chong Xiaoyuan, thinking about who of the three of them gave her.

"Look, they won't give you a gift......

Zhao Wanqi knocked Ruoruo's forehead with her hand.

"Hehe, thank you Sister Wanqi......"

While speaking, Yue Mochou and Yue Shan'er had already walked through the peony bushes and walked over.

"Sister Mochou...... Sister Shan'er ......"

Zhao Wanqi said very quietly. Fan Wei and Chong Xiaoyuan, who were on the side, also hurriedly saluted.

"Wanqi, it's been a long time, I haven't seen you...... There are also two girls...... Let's stay in the house......"

Yue Mochou smiled slightly.

"Hmm...... Good ......"

Zhao Wanqi held Yue Mochou's arm with one hand and Ruoruo's hand with the other, and several people walked towards the main hall.

"Childe, the two of us passed first......"

Xiao Cui and Xiao Lan beside She Yi hurriedly said.

"Well, go for it......"

She Yi said.

Xiaocui and Xiaolan acted as Yue Mochou's personal maids most of the time. Now that Zhao Wanqi is a Xiaoyuan Fan Wei is here, she is a guest, and the two of them have to go over to serve......

……

After a while, Zhao Wanqi walked out of the main hall alone and walked towards the pavilion, obviously, she was looking for She Yi this time.

She walked through the peony bushes and came to the pavilion, where She Yi looked at her with a smile.

"Look! Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman! ”

Zhao Wanqi glanced at She Yi, stepped on a few steps and walked up to She Yi's side.

"Where have all these things gone?"

She Yi put away the smile on her face and said calmly.

"I haven't been anywhere, I've been in the house all the time. Then I told you to leave Luoyang, why didn't you listen to me? ”

Zhao Wanqi was obviously a little displeased......

"This ...... Plans don't always keep up with the changing ......"

She Yi shrugged her shoulders.

"Daddy said, even if you have a conscience, let me see your ......"

"And then ......"

"If it succeeds, after seven days, it will be our wedding date......"

"Ahem......"

……

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the emperor was more obsessed with worshipping the heavens, and the scale of each sacrifice to the heavens was relatively large. Every time the festival comes, a lot of preparation must be carried out, no matter how much manpower and material resources are spent.

This time, Song Huizong came to Luoyang to worship the sky, and the same is true.

Luoyang City, as the Xijing of the Northern Song Dynasty, also has an imperial palace. The location is the area of the West End. This time, Song Huizong led the court officials to come to Luoyang City to worship the sky, which was carried out in the palace of Luoyang City.

In the imperial palace of Luoyang City, there are Temple of Heaven and Observatory......

According to the previous process, before the worship of heaven, the various buildings and facilities in the Temple of Heaven were completely overhauled. Repair the streets from the main hall to the Temple of Heaven Emperor to make it look new.

On the first five days of the sacrifice, the prince was sent to the sacrificial house to inspect the livestock prepared for slaughter during the sacrifice. This process, because King Rong Zhao Jing is in Luoyang City, a few days ago, King Rong has already seen it.

In addition, three days before the sacrifice to the heavens, the emperor began to fast. The first two are to write the blessings on the congratulatory plate. The previous day was to slaughter the livestock, make the sacrifices, and arrange the sacrificial vessels of the gods; The emperor reads the blessing version, goes to the emperor's dome to incense, goes to the mound altar to see the gods, goes to the gods to see the beans and animals, and then returns to the palace to fast...... On the eve of the ceremony, Taichang Siqing led his subordinates to arrange the gods' tablets, offerings, and offerings; Club-ready band furnishings...... Finally, it will be fully inspected by the Ministry of Rites......

This time, Song Huizong sacrificed to the sky in Luoyang, although it was a small-scale sacrifice to the sky, but the procedure was the same.

……

In Jiafu, Zhao Wanqi, Fan Wei, and Chong Xiaoyuan walked out of the gate. She Yi, Yue Mochou Yue Shan'er, and Ruoruo followed.

"Little one, remember what the county lord said to you, no matter what happens, stay quietly in the mansion."

Zhao Wanqi patted She Yi's shoulder heavily.

"Take care!" ‘

"Take care......

Zhao Wanqi got into the carriage, and Fan Wei and Chong Xiaoyuan also got into the carriage together. The carriage drove away, and Zhao Wanqi beckoned to She Yi...... His expression was gloomy......

She Yi, Yue Mochou, Yue Shan'er...... If you ...... After watching the carriage fade away, he turned around and entered the gate......

……

The next day arrived as scheduled......

The 15th day of the first lunar month......

Luoyang City ......

Outside the palace of Zhao Ji in the west of the city, there were dense guards guarding it, and in addition to Song Huizong, there were countless ministers of the imperial court.

Including Cai You, who carried the Royal Forest Army to maintain order.

"Welcoming the Emperor ......"

The clear and solemn voice of the ceremonial officer sounded......

After Song Huizong changed his sacrificial clothes from the southeast side of the Zhaoxiang Gate (South Gate), he entered the mound altar from the left gate and went to the middle platform to worship his position. At this time, the burnt wood stove, welcoming the emperor god, played the "chapter of the beginning of peace". Song Huizong knelt down and bowed in front of the main seat of the Emperor God of Heaven to the throne, and then went to the ancestors and ancestors to offer incense and bow. Bow back to the throne and bow three times and bow nine times to the gods......

……

"Laying Jade Silk ......"

The voice of the ceremonial officer sounded again......

Song Huizong laid the jade silk before the main seat and the matching position, played the "Jingping Chapter", and returned to worship the throne.

"Advance ......"

Song Huizong went to the main position and the matching position to advance, played the "Xianping Chapter", and returned to worship the position.

"Gift ...... at the beginning of the trip"

Song Huizong knelt down in front of the throne to offer the knight, returned to the throne, played the "Fengping Chapter", and danced the "Dance of Dry Qi". Then Si Zhu knelt down to read the blessing, and the music was suspended. After reading the music, the emperor knelt three times and bowed nine times, and went to the matching position to present the knighthood.

"Gift ...... Travel"

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty dedicated the knighthood to the gods, played the 'Chapter of Jiaping', and danced the 'Dance of the Feathers'. Return to the seat.

"Closing Gift ......"

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty offered knighthoods to the gods in turn, and played the 'Yongping Chapter' dance and 'Feather Dragon's Dance'. Guanglu Temple Qing blessed the Emperor and arched in front of the throne of God......
