Chapter 24: Sacrifice to the Heavens
The king of the Khan said that he would go to the altar again to ask the goddess, and everyone looked solemn and had a great deal of fun.
Ji Shisheng also knew the traditions of the Beidi Kingdom, so he wanted to send Kunlun jade and twenty swords into the Beidi Library. But the barbarian waved his hand and refused, saying that everything would be decided after the goddess had given the instructions. Ji Shisheng sighed and had no choice but to give up.
Beidi arranged for Ji Shisheng, Ji Gengjin and other Kunwu people to live in Xiangxifeng Palace, and Feng Yi and others also rested separately. In the early morning of the second day, the giant bell of the dark iron rang loudly, and Feng Yi woke up from his bed, thinking of the events of last night, and hurried to the altar of the goddess.
Looking around, although the altar was changed by the nine-tailed fox that day, the surroundings were turned upside down, and the cold jade ball in the center was replaced by a huge ice disk, and the cold air above was cold, and the water vapor in the air was faintly condensed into ice crystals and slowly fell.
The Khan King Manxingbo, Mankun, Liuhubi and other Beidi magnates had already stood around the altar, their faces were serious, and they were waiting for it.
Ji Shisheng and the others also followed behind, with surprise and confusion on their faces, especially Ji Gengjin, who had a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was extremely disdainful of this act of praying to the heavens.
Feng Yi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, he also planned to communicate with Ou Siye in advance last night, hoping that she could see the grace of saving her life and slightly favor Kunwu.
But how could Beidi regard the goddess envoy as extremely important, and coupled with the accident a few days ago, this time it was even more closely protected, and hundreds of guards patrolled around her dormitory in batches, so dense that not even an ice bird could fly in.
Although Feng Yi is a distinguished guest of Beidi, he is a man, and it is inevitable that he will cause criticism when he goes to the goddess messenger in the middle of the night, and if he is not careful, he may be suspected.
He was inexplicably anxious, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only wait where he was. But Ji Gengjin smiled and looked at the ice tray in the center of the altar, not knowing what he was thinking?
Suddenly, I heard a shout: "The messenger of the goddess has arrived!"
As soon as the voice fell, there were bursts of chanting and singing. Feng Yi looked sideways, Ou Siye was dressed in black, and slowly walked up to the stage step by step, followed by a dozen maids behind him, holding many unknown musical instruments in their hands, and playing tunes. The sound of the song is soothing and pure, like the eternal wind and snow outside the city.
This is the movement that the Beidi people have realized through a hundred years and thousands of years, from the bitter cold and ice and snow, which is long and high.
Rao is easy to move and temperamental, and he can't help but feel a sense of quietness. After listening for a moment, he closed his eyes, as if he could feel the history and suffering of the country, and they pinned their hopes on the broadsword, the spear, and the ethereal goddess.
At this moment, Ou Siye's ritual has begun, although her spiritual power is weak, but her small body has a strong mind, under her control, the snow jade ice tray that has been placed all night has condensed the purest North Sea ice crystals, forming a series of extremely complex patterns on the disk.
At the same time, Ou Siye had a thought, and under her leadership, the maids also danced a strange dance, and their graceful postures seemed to contain great strength.
After looking at it for a while, Feng Yi had an illusion in his heart, as if the spirit weapon ice tray could really channel the goddess in the sky, it conveyed the will of the goddess, transmitted the power of the goddess, and protected the country forever!
Suddenly, a very soft laugh came from nowhere, and it seemed extremely discordant.
Feng Yi turned around in surprise, but saw that Ji Shisheng's face was embarrassed, and he pulled Ji Gengjin and didn't let him speak. Feng Yi's heart was suddenly, it seemed that Ji Gengjin was disdainful of the ceremony in front of him, and accidentally laughed.
Although this is a small gesture, it is tantamount to disrespect for the goddess. Many Beidi people looked at each other angrily after discovering it.
Feng Yi shook his head and looked towards the center of the altar again. Seeing that Ou Siye and the maids were in a strange formation, they suddenly sang low and suddenly groaned. Feng Yi suddenly shook in his head, and a cold sweat came out of his back.
This...... This Osiye's ritual of sacrificing to the heavens is very similar to the rituals of the nine-tailed fox Yuzao, Xuantao, Kongsang and others that day!
It stands to reason that the ceremony of this goddess altar will only be started when the Beidi Kingdom encounters a major state event, and it is extremely difficult to see on weekdays, and I am afraid that ordinary Beidi people have never seen it once.
Where did those nine-tailed foxes come from, and they can be restored exactly the same, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Beidi magnates? If it wasn't for the feathered fairy that time, wouldn't the entire Beidi country have been deceived by the nine-tailed foxes?
When Feng Yi thought about it at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid, and he was dripping in cold sweat.
Then he thought, "Could it be that the nine-tailed foxes have the ability to read minds, and when Osiye was unconscious, they saw her inner thoughts?"
Feng Yi's heart shook violently, and then he shook his head again. As the holy daughter of the nine-tailed fox clan, the Feather Fairy still needs a Spirit Rhino Immortal Gu to know her inner thoughts, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary nine-tailed foxes to have such a magical spell!
So...... There is only one explanation, there are traitors in this Beidi country, and he is a powerful nobleman, not only once has he seen the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, but he can restore the content of the ceremony so completely and accurately, so he told the nine-tailed fox!
Feng Yi was horrified, looked around, and felt that except for the Khan King Barbarian Xingbo and his son Mankun, everyone else was worthy of suspicion. He thought that before Yu Hanxi and Feng Meng attacked Yu Yuanyu Valley, they had lured Ji Li and Yu Shaoqing as traitors.
In addition to immortals, as long as they are mortals, they all have desires and weaknesses. This trick of the cold country is the most simple and effective!
At this moment, the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens finally ended! The music stopped, and a halo of light appeared on the snow jade ice plate, in which the rain and snow fluttered, and the auspicious clouds shrouded it, which was extremely magical. Osiye slowly walked up to the barbarian and bowed.
Except for the Khan King, the people of Beidi all lowered their heads at the moment, not daring to look at Ou Siye, as if this little girl was no longer herself, but had become the embodiment of the goddess!
Barbarian nodded and said lightly: "What will the goddess have to convey?"
Ou Siye's voice also became cold and indifferent, as if he had changed someone, and said slowly: "Yes, the goddess told me...... The people of Beidi have forgotten the past a hundred years ago, the tragic history of this country, and the traitor what the traitor did to our ancestors!"
As soon as his words came out, the people of Beidi were in an uproar, and their faces showed pain and grief.
For a while, all the things that were sealed in history resurfaced in everyone's minds. Everyone looked at Ji Shisheng, Ji Gengjin and other Kunwu people, and their eyes were angry, as if they wanted to tear them apart.
Feng Yi said secretly: "Sure enough!"
He also had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that everything just now was his own cranky thoughts. Now it seems that there is indeed a traitor in Beidi Kingdom, and the biggest suspect is Ou Siye himself!
But...... On that day, this girl was obviously pear blossoms with rain, and she was terrified, and it was definitely not a disguise......
Feng Yi couldn't figure it out for a while, but he felt groggy in his head, as if he had fallen into a forest shrouded in dense clouds and miasma, and he couldn't find a way out?
The anger of the Beidi people was high, and the hatred that was gradually extinguishing was hooked out by Ou Siye's simple words, and they gritted their teeth, and only waited for the order of the king of Khan, who was barbarbarian, to arrest the Kunwu people and pay tribute to the heroic spirits of their ancestors.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Shisheng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Everyone, everyone, we have no malice here......
But no matter how he defended, the Beidi people were indifferent and pressed step by step. At this time, Ji Gengjin's face was indifferent, he stopped his brother, and said proudly: "Brother, needless to say, these people can't listen." ”
After saying that, he took a step forward, raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Beidi's friend, we not only brought Kunlun Jade and Supreme Sword with us this time, but also brought 30,000 elite soldiers. ”
As soon as his words fell, the Beidi people were even more angry, and they shouted and scolded, and the ground shook even more, and roared: "The thieves of the Xia Hou clan really have bad intentions, are you scared when Lao Tzu comes, my Mankun's body is the barrier of Beidi, and if you want to attack Beidi, you have to step on Lao Tzu first." ”
He was as violent as a fire. Ji Gengjin came to add fuel to the fire again, and suddenly it was rising and about to explode.
Ji Gengjin laughed and said: "General Mankun misunderstood, we sent spies before we came here, and learned that the Han Kingdom has a large army into Beihai, and the Great Xuanshan is also elite and wants to do wrong. The Wujing Kingdom and the Ghost Kingdom in Beihai are also watching, and when the situation is divided, they will send troops out and attach themselves to one side. Think about it, what are the chances of Beidi winning this war?"
Seeing that his younger brother had already made it clear, Ji Shisheng sighed and said, "King Khan, Divine Envoy, what he said is right, this is the news obtained by the spies we sent. That's why I brought tens of thousands of elite soldiers here, and I camped a hundred miles away for fear of misunderstanding from your country, as long as the Khan agreed, we sent an order to go down and establish a defense outside Youling City. ”
After he finished speaking, the Beidi people looked at each other, doubted their beliefs, and turned their eyes to the Khan King Barbarian Xingbo and others.
But Mankun didn't eat this, smashed a piece of ice stone with a punch, and said angrily: "Even if we Beidi people die in battle, we don't rely on the enemy's ......."
"Brother Mankun......" Mankun turned around, but saw Feng Yi holding him, he couldn't help but stop, and said in surprise: "Brother Feng, you ......"
Feng Yi ignored him, jumped down, bowed to the Khan King Barbarian Xingbo and other Beidi magnates, and said, "Listen to me......
He came out with a spirit, the sound was like thunder, the snow jade ice disc that shook was rattled, and there was a commotion in the snow-capped mountains behind him, and the woods swayed, shaking off the ice and snow all over the ground.
Everyone was shocked, only to realize that Feng Yi had been hiding his strength, and his cultivation was not weaker than anyone in the Beidi Kingdom!
But they vaguely felt that the young man in front of them was on their side.
Feng Yi smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, now traitors are rampant in the Great Wilderness, the rivers are reversed, and the heavens and the earth are covered with dust. After Beidi and Kunwu were both saints, Ji Wenming and Wuzhiqi were both figures who stood up to the heavens and the earth in the Great Wilderness, although their means were different, but they were not for their own selfish interests......"
Someone interrupted: "Nonsense, Ji Wenming is not a traitor? For the sake of power, he killed the emperor and rebelled, and slaughtered dissidents, what is this kind of behavior that is indignant to people and gods, and is not a traitor?"
When the people of Kunwu heard this, they were ashamed, ashamed, and angry, and they wanted to speak, but they were all stopped by Ji Shisheng.
