Chapter 49: Worship
He Lingjiang's eyes suddenly lit up: "This is a holy tree?" ”
Bi Mo bowed slightly, walked to the bottom of the tree, and looked up at the giant tree that had been nearly a hundred years old.
He Lingjiang also hurriedly followed, and under the reflection of the lights, he saw a few reddish fruits hidden in the dense branches and leaves.
She looked intently, and could even see a thin layer of fluorescent lingering around it, with a faint glow of pink.
Such fruit is truly unprecedented.
He Lingjiang muttered, "This is the Holy Fruit, right...... It's wonderful......"
"At this time, it's not the best time for the holy fruit." Bi Mo took his hand and looked at the fruit on the tree.
He Lingjiang turned his head when he heard this: "When is the best time?" But the day before the sacrifice to the mountain, is the best time to pick the holy fruit? ”
Bi Mo shifted his gaze and looked at her under the tree: "When there is fate, it is naturally the best time to pick the holy fruit......
Under the light of the lights, the light in his eyes danced slightly, faintly, making it impossible to guess the look.
He Lingjiang didn't understand the meaning of his words, so he simply didn't ask him anymore, but stepped forward and rubbed the huge body of the holy tree slightly.
After a hundred years of wind and frost, the epidermis of the trunk has deep or shallow scabs.
If the sacred tree can produce such fruit, there should be some spirituality.
However, the moment she touched the trunk again, she couldn't help frowning.
He Lingjiang raised his head again, looked at the leafy canopy and the pink holy fruit on it, and paced around the sacred tree twice.
Bi Mo only saw the sacred tree and the holy fruit for the first time, and her heart was curious and happy, and it did not stop her.
It wasn't until he felt that it was too early, so he said to He Lingjiang: "It's dark at night, you go and rest first." ”
He Ling Jiang withdrew his hand casually, followed Bi Mo around the shrine in the middle, and walked a short distance back to his residence.
The house that Bimo had arranged for her was in his own courtyard, only a room away from his own bedroom.
If it is in Da Zhou, it is naturally extremely unreasonable to treat female guests like this.
However, at this time, it was in Nanzhao, where the folk customs were open, and Bi Mo didn't want others to know that she was in the shrine, so he arranged her to be here nearby, and he could rest assured.
Bi Mo pushed open the door and said to He Lingjiang: "You can rest here for the time being, in my courtyard, no one else is allowed to come in on weekdays." ”
"But for the sake of properness, it is best for you not to step out of the door during the day, lest you be seen by the people of the temple and cause trouble."
He Lingjiang nodded, entered the house and glanced around, and saw that it was clean.
"How should I eat and drink?"
"I'll send it to you." Bi Mo said, "After tomorrow, it will be the mountain sacrifice ceremony." After that, I will give you a holy fruit to heal your hidden diseases. You can wait with peace of mind. ”
He Lingjiang nodded, there was food and drink here, and she acted according to Bi Mo's words.
After coming to the mountain, you will be able to know what attention he will pay attention to.
A day passed by, and on this day, He Lingjiang did not take half a step out of the house as Bi Mo said.
In the evening, after Bi Moping retired from the Divine Hall, he carried a tray to the door of He Lingjiang, which was covered with a silk cloth.
He Lingjiang lifted the silk cloth and saw a plain shirt on it.
At first glance, the clothes were freshly made, made of cotton and linen, and they were soft to the touch.
It is different from the batik or embroidered clothes often worn by the Nanzhao people, and it is also different from the narrow sleeves often worn by barbarian women.
The robe was plain white, loose and long, with long sleeves hanging down to the skirt.
He Lingjiang looked at the plain white priest's robe on Bi Mo's body, which seemed to be similar to what he was wearing, and it looked like it was worn for the purpose of performing sacrifices.
Facing her puzzled eyes, Bi Mo put the tray on the table with an indifferent expression: "Tomorrow is the mountain sacrifice ceremony, and the holy fruit is the most precious sacrifice in between. ”
"You are a foreigner, if you want to use the holy fruit, you need to clean and change your clothes in advance, and worship the holy tree and holy fruit in advance."
He Lingjiang naturally had no doubts.
Since you want to worship the sacred tree, it will not be good to have Gu worms in your body.
Bi Mo stretched out his hand, lured out the Gu worms in her body, and then led her to the bathing place.
In the shrine, there is a special place for people to bathe.
She followed Bi Mo all the way, and the huge shrine was empty, as if she was the only one with Bi Mo.
He Lingjiang's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't ask anything.
When she arrived at the door of the bathhouse, she pushed the door and entered, and saw that the mist in the bath was thick, and the air suddenly circulated, driving the lights in the room and swaying gently.
The room is not big, except for the soup pool in the middle, there is only a small couch next to it for people to rest.
The windows around him were tightly closed, so that there was not the slightest gap.
Her eyebrows raised slightly.
"Wash yourself and change your clothes, then sit down on the couch and wait, and then I will take you back to the sacred tree to worship." Bi Mo said that, and took the door for her and left.
He Lingjiang slowly walked to the side of the small couch, and there was a small incense burner on the side of the collapse, and at this moment there was a fragrance rising from it.
She leaned over slightly, sniffed lightly, and felt the fragrance faint.
He Lingjiang frowned, took a few steps back, walked to the side of the bath, leaned over slightly, picked up the water in the pool and looked at it.
The soup was warm, the water was transparent and clear, and she didn't feel anything strange when she put it on her fingertips, and she leaned close to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, but she didn't find anything wrong.
She knew it in her heart, and when she reached the back window, she gently pushed the window open a gap, and then pinched it with her fingers and outlined it slightly.
He Zheng, who was hidden not far away, suddenly moved in the bamboo ball on his waist, and then flapped his wings and collided in the bamboo ball.
The bamboo-woven balls were fluttering, and when they hit them like this, they shook.
This worm, which is still the lord of Yinsheng County, was all taken away by the ruler.
When entering the Luojia Department, He Lingjiang deliberately found two larger ones, planted marks on them, put them in bamboo balls, and gave them to He Zheng.
If something happened and she needed to summon He Zheng, who was in the shadows, to step forward, she would urge the imprint in the Gu worm's body to make it agitated and churn, so as to inform He Zheng.
He Zheng got the news, looked around vigilantly, and then cautiously approached the window.
"Seven Ladies."
He Lingjiang saw through the gap in the window and commanded softly: "You go and secretly summon Yan Xiang to the Divine Hall, just say that there may be news of his sister here." ”
As she spoke, she slipped a note from the window to him, on which she wrote a message to Iwaxiang in the Southern Imperial language.
He Zheng's Nanzhao language is not authentic, because of this, he entered the Luojia Department, and he never said half a word, and Yan Xiang only thought that he was a bitter mute protector.
"Remember, you must bring people quietly, and don't make any noise."
"Also, if you don't have my command, don't be impulsive, let alone make any moves. You just need to remember that I have a plan in mind, and if nothing happens, it will happen. ”
Although He Zheng didn't know what she was going to do, he still nodded and took the order.
