At night, the sacrifice of the Qiluo clan was indeed set up in the Golden Flower Hall as Qiao Chu said yesterday.

Bai Hanyan followed Qiao Chu towards the Golden Flower Palace, and along the way, he turned a few corridor arches, at this time the moonlight was bright and clean, and the clear light was sprinkled with mortal dust, like a dream, making people feel like they were in the Moon Palace.

Bai Hanyan just didn't expect that the old man of Boundless would also go to the Golden Flower Hall with them.

The corners of her lowered eyes seemed to inadvertently look at the Boundless Old Man beside her who had been lowering his eyebrows, he didn't know where he had gone during this time, and he only saw him today, Bai Hanyan wondered, could this Boundless Old Man also be a member of the Qiluo Clan.

A group of several people walked along the long white stone steps and climbed the Golden Flower Hall as high as five zhang step by step.

Bai Hanyan stood in front of the hall, and couldn't help but sigh that the brightly lit Jinhua Hall was not inferior to the Jinluan Hall in the capital.

As soon as he entered the hall, the atmosphere was suddenly like an ice cellar, and the ghost-faced guards guarding the front of the hall were on the left and right, each showing a black and unsheathed sword, and there were hundreds of attendants around the hall to drain the water.

Stepping into the door of the palace, Bai Hanyan condensed in his eyes, only to feel a strange rush to his face, on the four optimus pillars of the hall, there was a giant human-faced snake body woman flying up in the sky, on the golden lacquer throne, the corners of Puluo's mouth sat there with a smile, the phoenix eyes were tall, high, domineering, and I felt that I could not live forever.

And beside him, almost on the gilded seat that is almost flat with him, is Duan Changge, who represents the heavenly family, today he is wearing a formal suit, wearing a black veil, wearing a crimson round-necked robe, embroidered with a white crane on the robe, silver flower belt, and soapy leather boots.

The rows in the hall were all the royal family of the Qiluo clan and a group of courtiers, Bai Hanyan stood behind Qiao Chu and stood beside the hall, lowering his eyebrows, restraining himself from looking at the man above the high hall, but he deceived himself in his heart, at a glance, just a sneaky glance.

Bai Hanyan looked in the direction of Duan Changge and looked through the longing figure, and for a while a thousand tastes came to his heart, his eyes were sad, his face seemed to be a little thin, and the bronze Jin Junyi big smokers on both sides of the hall were floating with white smoke, the fog covered his eyebrows and eyes, and the dull pain in his heart made Bai Hanyan's eyes full of sadness.

Suddenly, Duan Changge in the hall seemed to sense something, and looked at her, the clear phoenix eyes were facing her eyes, and when the four eyes met, Duan Changge's dark and deep eyes tightly twisted her, as if he was suppressing some emotion, and Bai Hanyan was stunned for a while.

Qiao Chu coughed slightly, Bai Hanyan hurriedly retracted his gaze, hung his head, and pursed his red lips tightly.

At this time, the sound of copper drums on one side of the hall was mixed, and then the sound became louder and louder, Bai Hanyan couldn't help but follow the sound, and saw a row of people dressed like wizards surging, they all wore crowns and hats, dressed in robes, and danced ** and powerful dance slowly into the main hall, followed by dozens of witches with graceful postures, singing voices, and moon watching.

Bai Hanyan couldn't help frowning, what is the sacrifice of the Qiluo clan, why is it so similar to the ghosts and gods of ordinary people.

"This is the rule of the Qiluo tribe, legend has it that their ancestors evolved from human snakes, and this witch song and dance is to honor her." Qiao Chu seemed to see her surprise, and tilted his head slightly to explain to Bai Hanyan with a smile.

Bai Hanyan's eyes were silent, Qiao Chu's transformation made her a little frightened, she couldn't understand what idea he wanted to play on her.

After a while, the witch song in the hall dispersed, the wizard and the witch slowly retreated to the side and knelt down, and from the door of the main hall slowly walked a person, only to see that the person was wearing a folded branch begonia cloak, moon white silk skirt, it was actually a woman.

The hairpin covered with a long veil and waist, I couldn't see the face clearly, I could only see a silver-white jade sheath knife hanging from her waist, she slowly came from the door to the hall, everyone bowed their heads and bowed to her, even Puluo was no exception, very respectful.

She slowly nodded to Puluo, turned her head to everyone, her gaze was as faint as water, slowly swept over everyone, and finally landed on Bai Hanyan's body for a pause, Bai Hanyan looked at her, I don't know if it was an illusion, she actually felt that the woman seemed to be startled, and it seemed to be mixed with joy, but it was only an instant, when Bai Hanyan looked again, she had already turned her gaze, facing the main door, her voice was like a pearl falling on a jade plate, and she said slowly: "Please Grandma Jiu." ”

Her voice fell, Bai Hanyan followed everyone's eyes towards the door, an old family member with a human head snake and a cane staggered from the door, this old woman was extremely short, no more than four feet, wearing a dark green brocade robe, a cyan belt around her waist, her appearance was extremely strange, but her expression was arrogant, her face was like ten thousand years of frost condensation, Bai Hanyan was shocked, wasn't this old woman the one who wanted to kill her in prison?

Duan Changge on the high platform hall also frowned when he saw the old woman's face, and couldn't help but look at Bai Hanyan in the corner, seeing her frowning thin eyebrows, with a look of surprise, like the same as before, his heart softened, and he couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, but he pressed it down again in an instant.

Bai Hanyan didn't know Duan Changge's peeping, thinking about Qiao Chu's words yesterday, this ninth grandmother was a twin with that treacherous old lady.

As soon as Grandma Jiu settled, the ministers on both sides lined up in two lines, and knelt down one after another, Qiao Chu pulled Bai Hanyan and knelt on it, she didn't resist, she secretly raised her eyes to look at Puluo in the high hall, and saw that he also bowed respectfully on the ground, only Duan Changge was sitting on the gilded chair.

"Rise up, everybody." Grandma Nine stood at the top of the high platform, standing in front of Puluo, her voice was very kind, but it was very loud, and she could hear the echo in the hall like a tsunami, and everyone immediately straightened up and stood aside respectfully?

Pu Luo stood up with a smile and helped Grandma Nine to fall in his place, Pu Luo stepped aside but was pulled over by Grandma Jiu, sitting side by side on the chair with her, smiling wisely, it was actually a mother's demeanor in the world.

"Puluo, you are the head of the clan, I am old, and the affairs of the Qiluo clan have to be handed over to you."

Pu Luo didn't dare to resist, but became more and more respectful and rigorous, and Grandma Jiu's eyes fell on Duan Changge at this time, nodded the snake's head crutches, stood up, leaned over to Duan Changge and said, "The old woman see Lord Duan." ”

Duan Changge smiled slightly, stood up from the chair and stretched out his hand to help her, and said, "Grandma Jiu, why should I be polite, the sacrifice is a big deal, the saint ordered me to concentrate on the ceremony, Duan Mouke has always insisted on not daring to slack off." ”

Grandma Jiu's smile stagnated for a moment, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and a vague smile appeared, and like snow meeting the scorching sun, it disappeared without a trace in an instant, she lowered her eyes and said with a smile: "The emperor is in good health, the old woman is old, and some things can't be remembered clearly." ”

Duan Changge raised a brilliant smile on his lips, like a spring pear flower, and he said meaningfully: "It's okay, it's okay, the saint still remembers." ”

Grandma Nine raised her eyes and looked at Duan Changge, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said slowly: "That's good, that's good, Lord Duan is seated, and the sacrifice will start immediately." ”

Duan Changge nodded with a smile, bent down and sat down, Grandma Nine faced the courtiers on crutches, her energetic eyes slowly passed over everyone, her expression was arrogant, and her face was full of wind and frost, which made people feel that Grandma Jiu had a natural majesty.

Bai Hanyan, who was standing in the inconspicuous corner behind Qiao Chu, felt a tremor inexplicably, I don't know if it was an illusion, when the ninth grandmother's eyes fell on her, she paused in a deep and obvious way, just like the woman before.

This feeling made Bai Hanyan feel a strangeness, a feeling of impending a storm surging in her heart, and she faintly guessed in her heart, maybe all this was doomed when her father came to the Qiluo clan more than twenty years ago.

More than 20 years ago, a cause was planted, and this fruit was going to fall on her, Bai Hanyan took a deep breath, what should come is always coming.

Grandma Jiu stood on the high platform and said loudly: "Our Qiluo clan has always sacrificed living people, this is a secret, and it should not be with outsiders, but the three people in this hall are closely related to the Qiluo clan, and the old woman does not care too much, and this sacrifice is also in accordance with the will of heaven." ”

There was a trace of pathos and a hint of relief in her words, but Bai Hanyan's heart trembled slightly because of her words, isn't it to fill a human life with a living sacrifice?

"I'm old, the sacrifice of the Qiluo clan may be the last one for the old woman this year, and it is also for the promise of..."Grandma Jiu paused and sighed slightly, and the courtiers of the royal family lowered their heads in fear, Bai Hanyan noticed that Pu Luo's face behind her was obviously a little gloomy, and it seemed to bring some dissatisfaction.

Bai Hanyan's eyes sank, and Grandma Jiu fell in the direction of Qiao Chu, smiled slightly, beckoned to him, and said, "Chu'er, you come up, the appointment of the year started because of your mother, and today's appointment will also end by you." ”

Qiao Chu slowly raised his eyes, with a faint smile on his face, but the ninth grandmother suddenly put away her smile, and even her voice sank, and said, "It's just that you brought that witness here!" ”

Qiao Chu's hand hanging down at his side trembled slightly, Bai Hanyan stood behind him and felt the chill around him, and couldn't help but peek at it, and saw it very clearly, the hand he gathered in his sleeve was clenched tightly, even the green tendons on the back of his hand were bulging, and his knuckles were slightly white, but fortunately, his wide sleeves were very wide today, covering a lot.

After a long time, she saw Qiao Chu slowly lowering her hand, seemed to exhale, turned her head and looked at Bai Hanyan, her eyebrows seemed to be struggling, but she quickly calmed down, smiled softly at her, pulled her wrist and pulled her towards the hall together.

Bai Hanyan staggered a little with his footsteps, trying his best to stabilize his figure, Qiao Chu stopped abruptly in the middle of the hall, standing side by side with her, Bai Hanyan lowered his eyebrows and broke free of his hand holding his wrist without a trace, but Qiao Chu didn't allow it, pulled her wrist and smiled: "Grandma Jiu, the witness you said is here, she is the daughter of Bai Jinghang who strayed into the Qiluo clan back then, Bai Hanyan." ”

As soon as she said this, Bai Hanyan suddenly felt that everyone's eyes suddenly fell on her.
