The altar is divided into three layers, the first of which is guarded by eight men and women and soldiers guarding the passage; The second floor is guarded by dozens of priests dressed in red, blue, white, and black ritual robes. There were only two people on the third floor, the priest of the pot and the priest of the lord.

Li Zixin and I ascended to the first altar from the south, separated on both sides of the passage, and each led dozens of guards around us. After taking his seat, the priest slowly ascended the stage and came to stand beside the priest. This means that the preparations are ready, and the next thing is for the chief priest, the mysterious Celestial Servant, to take the stage.

It was very quiet, and only the whistling of the wind and the crackling of the burning wood above the altar could be heard. I quietly watched the audience, and not far in front of me was a magnificent palace gate, where some brightly armored soldiers appeared. They were different from the guard under the altar, they looked stronger and more powerful, and they should be the royal forbidden army.

The melodious sound of the Dharma horn and the majestic brass drum sounded at the same time, and there were more and more soldiers of the forbidden army in the distance, who escorted two men on horseback and slowly walked towards us.

Riding a red horse was a noblely dressed young woman, and behind her was the handsome man in white, Tianfu Jun.

It seems that he will take the stage from the side we are guarding in a while, this is definitely not a coincidence, it should be intentional on his part. The Tianfu Jun in front of him, his face was not blue, but pure white as jade, looking like a fairy and a bone without losing his nobility. The woman in front of him had an elegant temperament and a beautiful face, she should be a noble woman with a high status, but between her eyebrows, there seemed to be a faint sorrow.

These two people came to the altar together, which means that this sacrifice should be very important, and my intuition tells me that the death of Tianfu Jun should have a lot to do with this woman. That's why he has gone through thousands of years, never forgetting, and constantly repeating all this.

"Lin Zhuo, that woman seems to be a princess, right?" Li Zixin asked.

"I don't know, it's a nobleman anyway," I said, "and you'll be coming up from us in a minute, so don't look him in the eye." ”

"Well, don't worry, I won't let this blood demon take my mind," she said.

It seems that she understands this too, so I am much more relieved.

Soon Tianfujun and the woman got off the horse and came to the stage one after the other. Tianfujun said something to the woman, and the woman looked reluctant, silent for a long time, and finally nodded. Tianfujun seemed to be relieved, smiled slightly, and turned to walk onto the altar. When passing by us, the two of us quickly lowered our heads, although he was coated with incense powder, but he couldn't hide the faint smell of blood that was unique to the blood demon.

He walked very slowly, for about a minute before he reached the top of the stage and began to sacrifice. We can't look back, that would cause suspicion, so we have to listen with our hearts. Before he finished his sacrifice, I had to see the right moment and use the Musou Spell to dispel it, so that we could return to reality.

"Purple Heart, listen carefully to the movements around you, and don't be distracted," I whispered.

"My hearing is very developed, don't worry," she says.

At this time, Tianfujun began to speak, and I was dumbfounded when he opened his mouth, because he actually spoke Goryeo......

Could it be that he is from Korea? But ancient Koreans didn't know plastic surgery, can they be so handsome? I can't help but secretly complain, Goryeo is basically close to the current Korean, but I basically don't understand a word of Korean, how can I understand Goryeo?

In a hurry, I glanced at Li Zixin, but she listened very seriously.

"Purple Heart, do you understand?" I asked.

She glanced at me, "Almost, when I watch Korean dramas, I always watch the original version, don't argue first, he's talking to those two priestesses." I want to hear what they're talking about. ”

I quickly shut up, relieved.

After a while, the above stopped talking, Li Zixin nodded, "So that's the case......"

"What's going on? Tell me, I'm waiting! I looked at her anxiously.

She looked at me, "This Celestial King is from Silla, but his hometown is Japan, and listening to his conversation with those two women, he seems to be the son of Emperor Daehwa, who was sent to Silla since he was a child, and later sent here by King Jindeok of Silla." Today is the last sacrifice he presides, and after Dacheng, he will be able to be sent back to Japan by the imperial court. ”

"What a mess, it's Silla and Japan, and it's ...... Dahua," I was suddenly stunned, "You heard me right, right?" Is it really Emperor Taika? ”

"Absolutely," she affirmed, "this Tianfu-kun's Korean is not very standard, with a lot of Japanese slang, I can't get it wrong." ”

"You know how to speak Japanese?"

"That's it!" She was very proud, "This girl chases dramas and is proficient in the four Chinese dialects, this is all a piece of cake!" ”

It seems that chasing dramas is not without benefit.

I didn't have time to admire her talent for language, and at this time I had already fallen into contemplation, the first era name in the history of Emperor Taika, this emperor was called Emperor Kotoku. In the twentieth year of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest brother of the Yamato Imperial Family, the prince, and the aristocratic minister Kamazu staged a coup d'état, assassinated the powerful nobleman Soga Irika, and forced his father Soga Ezo to commit suicide and regain power. After the success, the eldest brother did not ascend the throne, but gave up the throne to his uncle, Prince Light. So the light prince succeeded to the throne, called Emperor Kotoku, made the eldest brother the crown prince, began to imitate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, reformed politics, and officially changed the name of the country from Yamato to the country of Japan.

And the so-called King of Silla Jindeok became the king of Silla a few years after Emperor Hyodeok succeeded to the throne. Since Emperor Hyodeok made his nephew the crown prince, he also said that he sent his youngest son Tianfujun to Silla as a hostage, but why did he send him here later? According to the inference he said, the setting of this illusion should be the era of Gaozong in the Tang Dynasty, and he was sent here to perform the so-called kind of sacrifice, what is it?

Then he began to speak again, this time in Japanese, as if praying for something.

"Purple Heart, what did he say?" I asked.

Li Zixin motioned for me not to argue, listened carefully for a while, and frowned, "It's too winding, I can only guess the general meaning." ”

"Well, that's fine, what's it?" I looked at her.

"He is praying to the god of sunshine to bless his father and emperor to save the day, so that their father and son can meet each other and release their old suspicions", she paused, "I heard that it means that his father is sick and is dying, and he is afraid that he will not be able to see the last one, so he asked the Tang Emperor to return to China." The Tang Emperor agreed, and after this sacrifice was completed, he could leave. The girl standing below is a county lord of the Tang Dynasty and his lover, and she will return to China with him to get married, that's probably what she said. ”

"Oh, it's really a ...... of the Tang Dynasty," I nodded, "The Blood Spirit Treasure Ding has been around for more than 3,000 years, so the ancient tomb that Liu Xu dug up is a ...... of the Tang Dynasty."

"Blood Spirit Treasure Ding!" Li Zixin was stunned, "That object is the Blood Spirit Treasure Ding?" Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"Didn't you see it earlier? Use me to say? I looked at her.

"I saw it, but I didn't know it was the Blood Spirit Treasure Ding!" Her face became solemn, "Lin Zhuo, you must disperse this blood demon, otherwise the two of us will be doomed." Grandpa said that once a person's soul is touched by the Blood Spirit Treasure Ding, it will never be reborn! ”

"Don't worry, I know in my heart, we'll be fine, haven't you calculated it a long time ago?" I laughed.

She was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "yes, how did I forget ......"

"It's the first time you've entered this kind of illusion, and it's normal for your heart to be a little messy," I said, "Hey, why did you react like this when you heard the Blood Spirit Treasure Ding?" Does it have some other secrets? ”

"No, that's what I heard anyway", she said lightly, "Lin Zhuo, you must cheer up, we only have one chance, we must not be soft, use the best you can." ”

"The best?" I hesitated, "As for what?" That might hurt you. ”

"It's better to hurt me than to let me never be overborn", she looked at me seriously, "I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of losing hope, you know?" ”

"Understood", I nodded, "You listen to his movements quietly, I can't understand his words, I don't know the progress of the sacrifice, I can only rely on you." For all sacrifices, sacrifices are generally used, and the end of the sacrifices is often a mantra. When you find that you don't understand what he is saying, tell me right away, and that's my only chance to do it. ”

"No, can't you see it, he can't complete this sacrifice", Li Zixin looked at the Tang Dynasty county lord under the stand, "That girl will kill him, when she does it, it is the saddest time for the blood demon, and after the sadness, his sky-high resentment will suddenly appear." The best time for you to attack him is when Tianfu-kun is about to take his last breath. ”

"You guessed that this girl would kill him?" I sighed softly, "Looks like that's the case." ”

"Don't feel sorry for them, let's take care of ourselves first", Li Zixin said, "I don't want the two of us to be trapped here for the rest of our lives." ”

"Don't worry, I don't want to," I said lightly.

According to historical records, Emperor Taika believed in Buddhism and was very repulsive to Shintoism. And this Tianfu Jun prayed for the protection of the god of sunshine, indicating that he was a Shinto onmyoji, so it is understandable that the relationship between the two is not good. Emperor Kotoku died of illness after nine years as emperor, and it seems that when he was seriously ill, he should have sent someone to send a letter of state, asking the Tang Dynasty to release Tianfujun back, so that the father and son could see each other for the last time. Although Tang Gaozong agreed, looking at this meaning, some people didn't want him to go back.

I was pondering this, and the Tianfu Jun on the altar had already begun to read the sacrificial text, using that melodious and weird onmyoji tone, and Li Zixin, who listened to it, couldn't help frowning. It can be seen that this translator who chased the drama has nothing to do about this difficult and difficult Onmyoji sacrifice.

And at this moment, the Tang Dynasty county lord in the audience seemed to have finally made up her mind, she tried a look at the captain of the guard next to her, then took a deep breath and slowly walked up to the stage......
