Chapter 29: The Sacrifice
Yi Xiaochuan finally squeezed in with the crowd and joined in the fun.
Today, he had a good premonition that he would have something to gain during the sacrificial ceremony.
Wearing the wide and deep inner courtyard gate, the view gradually brightens. Yi Xiaochuan came to the inner courtyard, and at a glance, the buildings he saw were magnificent and magnificent, quite royal.
It's just that Yi Xiaochuan is a little unhappy, is today the Golden Week of Tourism? The dense crowd of human heads trembling and giggling and shouting made him almost out of breath. He protected Xiaoqing on his chest, for fear of being rubbed with oil from behind (uh...... The protagonist is not a ha! )
Entering the inner courtyard, the first thing that strikes your eye is the vast stone brick square, which is the size of ten standard football fields. On the avenue of the main hall of the inner courtyard leading to the Templar Academy, many nobles stood neatly.
Yi Xiaochuan didn't continue to move forward after entering the door, but stood at the inner door with Xiaoqing, admiring the rare otherworldly customs.
On the east and west sides of the square, there are piles of livestock that had been brought in for sacrifice. It's just that there are too many of these livestock, and as soon as the wind blows, a nest of unpleasant and pungent stench swept away, Yi Xiaochuan and Qing'er couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses, breathing with difficulty.
Oops, damn the north wind! The location in front of the main hall is very good, not affected at all! Yi Xiaochuan thought with his breath in his breath.
However, the others did not feel uncomfortable, but looked excited, after all, they had seen a lot. The most important thing today is the awakening of the Martial Soul Mark!
The place where the imprint is awakened, just in front of the main hall, is an ethereal formation: the Imprint Formation Array.
The circle was filled with many children of palace nobles and generals, all of whom looked immature.
The auspicious time has come! One shouted loudly.
Soon, the entire square quieted down. Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother walked to the Seal Enlightenment Circle and greeted the congratulatory gifts from all directions with open arms.
In the square of the inner courtyard, the crowd rose and fell like waves, kneeling and flocking to Yi Xiaochuan, and shouted to him: "Empress Dowager Wuhua, long life is boundless......",
The sound roared through the walls of the inner courtyard, and the majesty of the lord of a country was ruthlessly released at this moment. Yi Xiaochuan had only heard the roar of the loudspeaker in the school's auditorium, and now he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
Xiaoqing was also infected by the solemn royal etiquette, and wanted to kneel down to salute, but was dragged by Yi Xiaochuan.
Yi Xiaochuan raised his head and saw the Empress Dowager Huatian on the main stage not far away.
The queen mother's golden brocade dress was wrapped around the ground, a green ribbon was tied around her waist, and a dragon and phoenix flower sac was tied to the ribbon.
Three thousand hair strands are high and hanging cloud buns, the forehead between the hair buns has silver filigree writing the years of ruthlessness, the hairpin is a jasper hairpin obliquely inserted in the hair, slightly applied powder, the forehead is finely dotted with cinnabar a flower day, although it is no longer the elegance of the year, but between the eyebrows is now luxurious and upright.
And Princess Yucheng is dressed up with a different flavor. Dressed in a black shirt and skirt, he embraced a white tanuki in his arms and stroked it lazily.
The snow fell between her eyebrows, her eyes were delicate, and the smoke and rain were blurred. The pink lips are faintly populated, and the tongue is like silk.
There is also a flower on the forehead, but it is a touch of red peach, and there are green silk floating on the forehead from time to time, like an ink painting of 'ink painting peach branches are a little red'.
Makeup is beautiful, people are more beautiful, even if Yi Xiaochuan didn't see their faces clearly, he could guess seven or eight points of appearance, everyone knelt on the ground, but he could see it more clearly.
The Queen Mother picked up the red jade pendant on the altar and shouted: "Sacrifice the gods with blood, give the people with seals, the emperor and queen earth, bless me Dahua!" ”
The jade pendant fell towards the Yinjue array, and with a click, the body was shattered, and a red air flow came out of the jade pendant, enveloping the Yinjue array.
Then, in the squares on both sides, the butchers raised their large knives in their hands, and the blades fell with a clatter.
Suddenly, the blood stained the earth red, and the boundless blood qi choked people, and it was frantically inhaled by the Printing Array again, instantly forming a pillar of blood through the sky, and the red light rushed up to the sky, dyeing the deep clouds red.
Above the sky, the red clouds gradually dispersed, and the sky was tearing in a low voice, biting open a hole, and the light shone brightly, just shining on the Impression Array below.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes lit up, expecting a mark to fall from the clouds. Whether the future is soaring depends on this moment!
"Look, it's out!" Someone in the crowd pointed to the sky and shouted, and everyone looked up, and there was really a slight change.
A yellow mark flew out of the clouds and slowly fell towards the Impression Array, dripping on a child's forehead and melting into it.
The child hurriedly sat cross-legged, muttering about the imprint that the whole continent was ripe with, and a mark on his forehead flashed and disappeared.
On the child's body, there was a yellow light, and there was a complex earth attribute vein on his chest, and if he looked closely, there were three halos!
Many people on the stage were surprised, this kid turned out to be a three-grade earth attribute mark, amazing! The first awakening was obtained. The Queen Mother also nodded with satisfaction.
Next, more children also get their own imprints, with second-grade metallic and third-grade fire attributes......
The most conspicuous thing is a boy with a four-grade wind attribute mark, which is a rare mark.
Of course, there are still some children who have obtained the most ordinary imprints, one or two soul attribute imprints. The soul attribute imprint can also be cultivated, but it is too ordinary, although all martial arts can be cultivated, but it is still not as strong as the innate attribute.
A fire-based martial art, a person with a fire attribute mark must be powerful.
The Queen Mother was majestic: "Whose child is that child with the four-grade wind attribute?" ”
The father-in-law on the side returned: "His Royal Highness Qiyu is Zhang Fei, the grandson of Zhang Han, the financial historian." ”
"Well, the Zhang family is good!"
Among the ministers kneeling on both sides, a white-haired old man suddenly ran out and saluted the Queen Mother to thank him: "Your Highness Xie praises!" This son is my son, and the old man has a son, that is, I hope that my descendants can contribute to Huatian and share the worries of His Highness! ”
"Zhang Aiqing practiced, I can have this intention, I understand it, please get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness Longen!"
Yi Xiaochuan in the distance couldn't see the figure clearly, but his ears were bright, and the conversation between them was rough, and Yi Xiaochuan, who knew the truth, almost vomited his rice.
What the hell, it is clear that Zhang Han's dog courtier took advantage of the death of her wife to unscrupulously recruit beauties. According to the night investigation, there are more than a dozen children who have given birth to children, and countless people have bought houses outside to support women.
As the Chancellor of the Exchequer of Huatian, is it true that other people don't know about such a corrupt officialdom?
Yi Xiaochuan pinched his fan and looked ahead, there was no harvest in the three years of drought in the south, countless people starved to death, and the gods were devastated.
The people of Huatian are sacrificing here, and the Huatian rivers and mountains guarded by the Yi family are whose rivers and mountains are they!
Xiaoqing saw that Yi Xiaochuan was angry, and tightened Yi Xiaochuan's cuffs, on such an occasion, you must not be impulsive.
After those six or seven-year-old children's martial souls awakened, the rest were other young people who entered the formation, and the martial artists not only had one imprint awakening, but also extremely talented teenagers, and they could even awaken twice or three times, and each awakening was a huge leap.
However, the number of sigil awakenings will gradually decrease as you get older. In addition to the number of awakenings ranging from 6 to 16 years old, each ascension of the realm will also awaken the imprint, and this awakening method does not require a sacrifice to complete.
Now, it's the turn of the youth of Yi Xiaochuan's generation to play! Princess Yuhui is also eager to try, she has awakened the imprint of the two attributes, and until now it is still a small chrysalis realm, and she has not yet reached the middle realm of metamorphosis. Therefore, her natal magic weapon has not been formed.
However, when she looked around the venue, two people in the distance who did not kneel attracted her attention.
Yuhui stretched her waist and put down the tanuki to go down alone. The beautiful black figure attracted the attention of many students, ignited the fire in their hearts, and they couldn't extricate themselves......
Princess Yuhui and the others lined up and waited for the children to come out.
