Chapter 217: The Sacrificial Ceremony

The sacrificial dress was gorgeous and solemn, Ji Yuning was wearing a white gauze robe with intricate patterns, a golden cloak on the ground, and the cloak was embroidered with Mu Ling's auspicious beast Yun Peng, which added a bit of grace and nobility.

also deliberately used gold ornaments to tie the sideburns on the forehead and sides, plus revealing his true face, if it weren't for Su Xiaoting being amazed last night, I'm afraid I would really think that it was a fairy in the world.

'No wonder you walked so fast just now, it seems that the city lord is very experienced in dealing with this kind of scene. ’

Otherwise, it is impossible to say whether Mu Ling, who is lacking in entertainment, will have a tragic stampede because of the city lord's magnificent appearance.

Halfway up the mountain, when the whole team was taking a break, Su Xiaoting was quietly dragged aside by one of them, and couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked:

"Xiaoting! Why didn't you react at all? ”

"What's the reaction?"

"Boss?"

"Oh, didn't you tell me in the morning?"

In the morning, someone looked mysterious and told him that Ji Yuning usually made a disguise for the convenience of travel, and he must be mentally prepared today.

"It doesn't make sense! …… Could it be that there is a man in the United States who is so beautiful as the Boss? ”

Although Su Xiaoting's reaction didn't disgrace him, it was too far from what he expected, right?

"Not really! I just" Su Xiaoting replied honestly, but was cut off.

"Xiaoting, I was enough friends last night~" Ah Tao walked over, gossip flashing in her eyes, "Hey, the boss didn't ask me, right?" ”

This Ah Ao!! Definitely on purpose, Su Xiaoting looked at the baby face full of confusion and took a few deep breaths.

"I didn't see the city lord, so I put my clothes in the study!"

Ah Tao looked strange to believe you, "Really? It turns out that you didn't meet the boss last night to be so calm. ”

looked at it again, "Since I followed the boss, I have never seen a woman who can still turn a blind eye to the boss's true face, unless I ......"

Unless she's not a woman!

One of them almost agreed, but he could still distinguish his position, not to mention, he and Su Xiaoting get along day and night, if you want to say that Su Xiaoting is not like a woman, it is estimated that you can't find a few real women in the endless land.

"My apprentice is not the same as those girls, otherwise how would he be the boss's personal guard?"

At the mention of the words girl, the two shivered.

Since they began to follow the boss, all kinds of crazy expressions of love have emerged one after another, and they are full of tricks, until Ji Yuning began to cover her appearance, except for her sister, a female mosquito around her did not give a chance to get close, and it was calmed down.

The two have long been accustomed to it, and in the face of the devastating appearance of the boss of his family, the woman's psychological defense line has always been fragile and vulnerable.

Thinking about it like this, even Ah Tao looked at Su Xiaoting with a little more respect.

It is estimated that their discussion involved Ji Yuning, and when they saw the main protagonist glancing lightly to this side, the three of them immediately stopped talking.

In fact, Su Xiaoting is not immune to Ji Yuning's appearance, but she tries her best to look at her nose and nose, at most her heartbeat accelerates uncontrollably a few times, but she will not have thoughts other than appreciation.

In fact, the current Ji Yuning made Su Xiaoting feel that it should be like this.

With such a beautiful voice and such an incomparable lofty temperament, how can it be matched with an expressionless and extremely plain face.

She used to wonder why such a young lord of a city surrounded him with all men, and even lived without pretending to others.

Thinking about the way he handles government affairs, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to swagger through the market with this face.

Thinking like this, everyone had climbed to the platform on the mountainside, which was about three or four thousand square meters, and the temple stood impressively in front of them.

The mountains are full of moisture, and when the sun shines, it seems that there is a golden mist in the air, adding a bit of sacred beauty to the temple.

The temple stood on three steps up, as Su Xiaoting imagined, the whole body was built of white marble, with huge pillars of jade steps and reliefs all over it, which was magnificent and magnificent. It is very similar to the famous Parthenon Temple in Athens.

The temple sits west and faces east, about 70 meters long, about 30 meters wide and high, and there are some attached temples behind the main hall.

A red carpet of the golden and bronze doors of the hall stretched out to the front of the steps, and a group of women in white with fluttering clothes slowly approached under the leadership of two women in purple with intricate decorations.

The two women at the head have a refined appearance, unlike local women, and one of them has a distinctive long cherry pink hair.

The older woman bowed her head with a generous demeanor: "The lord of Ji City has worked tirelessly for the people, and it is my luck to come to worship and pray for blessings!" ”

"The White Feather Priest has won the prize, this is my responsibility. Today's sacrifice will still work hard for you~"

A sweet and delicate voice sounded: "It's not hard! Lady Ako is already waiting in the main hall, Lord Castle, please! ”

Ji Yuning looked at the priestess on the side with soft eyes, smiled helplessly, and said to everyone behind him: "Everyone, follow me into the temple to worship!" ”

In addition to Ah Tao and Su Xiaoting, the officials of each ministry automatically lined up and walked into the main hall with the female envoy who greeted them. The rest of the guards remained outside the temple and were scattered.

Walking through the majestic and tall arch, you will see a tall statue of the goddess standing in front of the main hall, which is 7 or 8 meters high, and the carving is extremely vivid and moving.

Her skin appears to be made of ivory, her eyes are as deep as sapphire, and her body is covered in gold ornaments. However, these were not enough to move Su Xiaoting, and the compassion and benevolence emanating from the body of the statue and the insightful wisdom in her eyes shocked her greatly.

A few steps further, a figure beneath the statue with a body as white as plaster and angular suddenly moved.

I saw that he seemed to have wandered from a mythical story, and he was holy. Just when Su Xiaoting felt that he was going to fly away in the next moment, the 'portrait' spoke.

"City Lord Ji! Thank you for your hard work~"

"Lady Ako, how are you doing?" Ji Yuning returned the salute.

"Goddess bless, it's business as usual."

Yazi! Su Xiaoting's curiosity was suddenly raised, and the descriptions in the book instantly came to mind.

'Born of clouds, mist, frost and snow, with the sun stone as his eyes and the moonlight as his hair, he is the purest and holy body in the world, his eyes can see all the calamities and sufferings under the sun, and his mouth can pray to the goddess on behalf of the believers in the world......

This description of Azon is, regardless of its idealistic component, to be considered a very appropriate metaphor.

At this moment, Yazi and Ji Yuning walked side by side in the vaulted temple, both dressed in white and white hair, which only gave people a feeling that this was not the world, but the fairy world.

I'm afraid the fairy world is nothing more than that!

It wasn't until they reached the throne of the goddess Sephone that everyone took their places at the signal of Azi and began the ritual of the sacrifice.
