Chapter 125: Sacrifice
Prince Miko announced: "The day before yesterday, an oracle was sent from heaven to sacrifice to heaven with royal blood. Therefore, Princess Jiao, the daughter of King Shou, the fifth daughter of King Wuyi, the county lord of Meilin, and the daughter of the ten county lords of the first king Wending Sun were selected as candidates. Today, the oracle will be consulted again for divination to determine the final human sacrifice. The divination ritual is divided into two rounds. One person is eliminated in each round, and the last remaining person is used as a sacrifice. ”
Subsequently, Jizi, Huang Feihu and Zu Yi went out of the palace to preside over the divination ceremony.
The hall was silent, so quiet that everyone's breath could be heard.
Half an hour later, someone came to report that the oracle bone with Princess Jiao's name was broken. Princess Jiao was eliminated.
Yin Jiao immediately got up, passed by the two of us waiting, and said, "I won't accompany the two of you!" Then he didn't greet anyone (including the king), turned around and walked out of the hall.
Now there are only two people kneeling in the temple, me and Merlin. Although I was determined to die, my heart was still pounding. Merlin and I looked at each other, and I could see that she was shivering.
After another half of the day, someone finally came to report that the oracle bone with the name of the Lord of Merlin was broken. Merlin was also eliminated.
When Grandpa Bigan heard this, he immediately fainted and fell to the ground.
Merlene next to me looked at me with tears streaming down her face.
At this time, Jizi, Huang Feihu and Zoe walked in. Jizi announced: "The oracle of Nezha, the daughter of the ten county lords, was sacrificed to the Emperor of Heaven as a human animal. Nezha is the daughter of the royal family. Turn's first cut off the long bones of his limbs and cut out his heart and liver as a sacrifice. ”
Merlin was taken out of the main hall. And I was almost paralyzed on the ground. Two palace people came over and held my upper body to keep me kneeling. It turns out that the show has not yet finished.
I only heard the words of the king of Xu: "Although Nezha has royal blood, he is not the daughter of the son's surname." Nezha was specially canonized as the princess of Haihe, thinking that she was the daughter of the king, in order to express the king's sincerity to the emperor. Tell the world today. ”
At this time, the palace man next to him reminded softly: "Princess, thank you!" ”
I looked up to see the King. I actually became a princess before I died, and the purpose of conferring the title of princess on me was only to let me die. How funny this must be!
"My lord," I said, "since the courtiers have sacrificed, then the seventy-eight slaves including Princess Yuluo do not have to die?" ”
The King looked at me and muttered for a moment. "Your blood has taken the place of them all."
"They will not be sacrificed in the future?" I asked again.
The King blinked, his voice muttered. "This king can assure you that in the lifetime of this king, he will not."
"King Xie!" I say.
I tried to stand up on crutches, but collapsed and couldn't move at all. Two guards carried me out of the temple.
I was then escorted by a 100-strong guard from Lutai Palace to a special courtyard in the city. Dozens of feet away from its gate is the altar.
The outside was heavily guarded, and the four maids inside were always on my side, allowing me to fully enjoy the courtesy of being a princess.
The chief guard came in and saluted me, "Princess, what else do you command?" ”
I said, "Hurry up and get me something to eat!" Princess Ben has been hungry for a day! ”
The chief guard arched his hand again, "Princess Qiyu, according to the requirements of the ceremony, you are not allowed to eat. ”
"Why?" I asked in surprise.
"According to the rites, the animals of the people who were punished by the slaughter were not allowed to eat for two days before the sacrifice in order to keep their bodies clean."
"What?!" For the first time in two days, I was so angry that I grabbed the chief guard by the neck. "MD, the old lady is about to die, and she doesn't even give her a full meal!"
I beat him up so much that he begged for mercy. "Princess, wrath! The princess is angry! ”
With my previous mana, I could have flattened him with two punches. But now my hands are weak, and I can't do anything with him.
That afternoon, only one person was approved to come and see me, but it was the last person I wanted to see at the moment: Shi Ji.
"Xiaoqian wanted to come to say goodbye to you, but unfortunately it was not approved." She reached over and touched my face, and her eyes were filled with tears.
I turned my head away from her hand, unwilling to pay attention to her.
"Alas!" She sighed, "I hope you can also be like Senior Sister Yin, favored by the heavens, and be able to shape the immortal body again." ”
She stood up, walked to the door, turned around and said, "Nezha, after the sacrifice, the Weishi will erect a statue for you next to Princess Yin." ”
I looked up at her and said coldly, "Teacher, it's better to leave that position to yourself!" ”
This night, I couldn't sleep all night.
However, considering whether or not I can be reborn again, this will be the last night I will spend in this life. I still forced myself to close my eyes. The point is, I always feel that Teacher Taiyi will explain something to me. She will come to me in her dreams.
Sure enough, in the haze, Teacher Taiyi came to my side again. "Teach you a set of Taiming tips for the teacher. This trick can gather the remaining spiritual energy in your body, protect your brain to stay awake, and can block nerve conduction and reduce the pain of knife cuts. Remember not to use this to protect your body. Your body is used for sacrifice, and forcibly protecting your body will only increase the time and pain of the execution. Then he instructed something else.
"I wrote it down." I say.
In the morning, I was woken up by the maid to bathe. Although I knew that the body given by my parents would soon no longer belong to me, I still took it seriously and cleaned it carefully with the help of the maid.
After drying my body, the two maids draped me in a gorgeous silk brocade robe. As for the rest of the clothes, they are not needed at this time.
Grandpa Bigan hurried to the waiting room. One day later, he seemed to be ten years older. He took a bowl of red medicinal wine from the squire's hand. "Grandson, drink this! It can help you endure torture. ”
I took the bowl and instead of bringing it to my mouth, I poured it onto the floor.
"You kid!"
"Grandpa," I said, "the master has a saying, this wine will cause my soul to be lost, and I will not find the way to meet the Emperor of Heaven." Don't worry, grandpa. I can handle it. ”
"Alas!" Bigan muttered his head, "Nezha, today is the highest-ranking shaman (executioner) in Chaoge City. The knife technique is extremely precise. I believe it will be over soon. ”
Because of the inconvenience of my legs and feet, I was carried over the way to the altar.
On the high stand on one side of the altar, the king of Xu, Daji, Huang Huan, Ximei, and my two Yuxu fellow disciples Yin Jiao, Yin Hong, and the holy sister and brother of Prince Luzi sat on it. Lord Xin didn't come, probably because he was afraid of seeing this bloody scene.
Sitting below are the three princes and nine secretaries and officials. Why didn't the evil come about? Isn't he supposed to be with the king?
The surroundings have long been crowded. Did all the people from the whole dynasty come here today?
Such a big deal. How could they not come?
Although I was fully prepared, when I saw the altar in front of me, I still felt an irrepressible fear in my heart, and I couldn't help but tremble. The cold wind blew, and I couldn't help but wrap my brocade robe tightly.
