Chapter 191: Witch Music
All eyes were on the girl who was about to walk to the prayer platform.
The heads of the Northland families have arrived.
In front of the prayer platform, a stand was erected.
Nangong Sheng sat on the top, and several witch masters from the north sat on the left and right sides.
These shamans of the Northland are almost all men in their forties and fifties.
Seeing Xue Ling, he invariably showed a look of disdain and suspicion.
The people below only knew that there was a witch doctor in the south who came to help, and at this time, when they saw that the carriage was just a little girl who had never reached the horse, their disappointed expressions could not be concealed.
was originally a quiet place, but at this time there was an irrepressible question, "Is this the witch doctor sent by Nandi, a yellow-haired girl?" ”
This sound began, and the discussion below was endless, and gradually there was an irrepressible rhythm.
Xu Mingze glanced at Xue Ling, as if he was showing a little hesitation, he looked at Nangong Sheng, "His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, what do you think, the local people don't approve of Miss Xue, otherwise appease the people first, and postpone the matter of praying for rain for a few days?" ”
Nangong Sheng looked at Lord Xu with some surprise.
Then he said, "Naturally, I want to pray for rain, Lord Xu, now that this rain prayer platform has been built, and the girl of the Xue family has come from afar, how can I tell her to go for nothing." As for whether praying for rain is successful, you have to try to know, Miss Xue said yes or no? ”
It's hard to say.
Xue Ling glanced at Lord Xu.
The entire northern land almost determined that Xue Ling could not succeed in praying for rain, and according to her estimates, there was another calculation behind this.
She was already standing in front of the prayer platform, but Xu Mingze suddenly proposed to postpone.
Xue Ling has always boasted of speculating on people's hearts, and he was also a little surprised and confused at this time.
Just as she was thinking.
Nangong Sheng had already said, "Miss Xue, are you ready, you can go on stage to pray for rain." ”
Xue Ling nodded and got up, she walked towards the prayer platform step by step, what was waiting for her could never be smooth sailing, calm and calm.
The audience rebelled.
This kind of situation is just a small fight for her, she doesn't care, her steps are light and firm.
Zeng Yi did not sit in the stands with Zeng Yi, but stood in front of the rain prayer platform.
He was dressed in green clothes, and the light-pigmented clothes on Xue Ling's body had a feeling of complementing each other.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He looked at Xue Ling and said these four words in a deep voice.
Don't be afraid, I'm here.
Such ordinary four words were like a warm current, stirring ripples in Xue Ling's heart.
In her previous life, she was strong and weak.
At that time, she was hoping that someone could give her support and strength.
And now, she retreated from all her weaknesses, carved strength in the depths of her bones, and almost no longer relied on anyone to hear the words "Don't be afraid, I'm here" again, and her heart should not have fluctuated a little, but for some reason, her heart was still a little softer after all.
Xue Ling's eyes were bright, and he thanked him softly.
Then get ready to step up the steps.
The first step, the second step, the third step, is no different.
Until the fourth step, she always felt afraid to push her steps, and this step was a little different.
If she guessed correctly, there should be a thin layer of wax on the steps, if she wasn't too vigilant, what the consequences would be if she stepped on this step, you don't have to think about it to know.
Moving forward, struggling.
It's impossible to go backwards.
It seems that the person behind this is indeed thinking about it, and she has already stepped on the prayer platform, and if she retreats, she will be cut off from the way back.
Just when Xue Ling stopped, Zeng Yi immediately found out, and sighed in his heart, this prayer platform he personally checked, there was no way to cut corners, but he was still not at ease, after consulting Nangong Sheng, on the grounds that it was a big matter, he stayed under the prayer platform, just in case of accidents.
Now that I think about it, this step should be passive, and there is nothing unusual when he checked it in the morning, so there is only one possibility, that is, when he went to the palace to pick up the emperor's eldest grandson, he was passive with his hands and feet.
A cold sweat broke out behind Zeng Yi's back.
For him, Xue Ling's safety is more important than anything else.
If something happened to Xue Ling, he wouldn't think about it.
He stepped along, about to step up the steps.
Xue Ling was shocked when he heard the strange noise behind him, Zeng Yi has always been steady, and at this time, under the watchful eye of everyone, any move is extremely irrational.
She didn't look back, her toes lifted slightly, and a plain embroidered shoe fell, leaving it on the third step.
The jade foot was slender and steadily stepped on the fourth step, and the other shoe was also taken off, and it was also left on the step.
Zeng Yi's footsteps slowly fell.
I only saw a pair of small green jade feet stepping up step by step.
He didn't look away, and the heart he was carrying finally slowly fell.
Raising his head again, Xue Ling was already standing on the prayer platform.
The melody of witch music flows little by little.
Xue Ling had already shifted her pace and began to beat.
Her steps follow the direction of the universe, from slow to fast.
The skirt spread out little by little with the dance branch, and the silver witch texture slowly rippled, looking mysterious and sacred.
Xue Ling's dancing branch gradually accelerated, and his expression was not clear, and he could only see the white figure dancing on the prayer platform.
There was a crowd of people at the bottom.
At first, the impassioned and generous voice gradually faded down.
Still, some voices rang out in the crowd.
"It's nice to dance, what's the use, praying for rain can't do it, what's the difference with those dancing girls." It was Zeng Yi's brother Zeng Liang who spoke.
After he finished saying this, several Northland Wu clan heads next to him echoed him.
"It's just that it's not a dance. What's the use of just looking good. ”
"His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has seen this girl in the south, do you think this girl is ashamed or really capable?" Xu Mingze asked.
Nangong Sheng said, "If it is true, it is the blessing of the north, if it is false, ask her a crime of disturbing people's hearts, Lord Xu does not need to worry." ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is right." Xu Mingze looked at the prayer platform again.
Xue Ling's dance steps are unpredictable, and her steps are light, as if she can't see her figure when she looks at it like this.
The wide hem of the garment, which is light with the movements, looks mysterious.
She wore a witch garment.
As her speed increased, the sky was full of witch graphics and texts.
There is a striking beauty.
However, at this moment, the witch music came to an abrupt end.
As the music stopped, Xue Ling's footsteps paused for a moment.
She had expected this.
After only a slight pause, she resumed her life.
And it was not affected in any way.
For her, witch music is just the icing on the cake, and even if it is not, it will not affect the entire ritual of praying for rain.
At this moment, a low burst of witch music sounded slowly.
