After returning from the royal banquet, Caiyu was sad and depressed, saying that she would prepare for the sacrifice overnight, and left in a hurry as soon as she sent Chen Yu back to Taoshan, leaving only the white tiger with him.

She also solemnly explained that there are many prohibitions in the mountains, so don't trespass to avoid being hurt.

The mountains were silent and cold, and Chen Yu was bored, so he could only squat beside the white tiger and chat with it, pouring bitter water.

"Do you know how to get out of this place? Me and ...... A friend was inexplicably swept up here, and now he has become a caged bird! ”

"What is the identity of your master Caiyun, why can't others see me, and after meeting her, others can suddenly see me again?"

"She is also big-hearted, she dares to pull a man into the house without asking about the origin, what if I am a bad person, I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss!"

“……”

"Alas! You stupid tiger, I haven't responded to you so much, I'm afraid you won't understand a word...... Gone to bed, good night! ”

The white tiger was so humane that he rolled his eyes, and the word "Wang" on his forehead was faintly shining, and he tilted his head and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

There are not many long nights of dreams, Chen Yu doesn't know where he got the peace of mind, he slept extremely comfortably last night. Maybe it's because there is a huge white tiger keeping vigil outside the door!

The sky was high and cool, Caiyu dragged back with heavy dark circles, only had time to drink saliva, changed into a solemn dress with a pitch-black body, and pulled Chen Yu and went down the mountain again.

"All ready?"

"Almost! Whatever you see later, just keep it in your heart and don't speak. ”

"What's going on?"

Caiyun shook his head and replied slowly: "I can't say it, but I feel a little uneasy in my heart." ”

She seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "I know that your origin is mysterious, we are a family, and there are no taboos. But don't show your feet in front of outsiders, otherwise it will cause trouble! ”

“……”

Chen Yu looked at the girl in front of him who seemed to have grown up suddenly, and when he first met her yesterday, he seemed to be a different person, becoming thoughtful, even cautious, and worried.

For some reason, some pity arose in his heart. Because the price paid in order to grow up and mature is often an unbearable weight of life.

With the white tiger's galloping footsteps, he still ran enough to disappear before he felt the place where the sacrifice was held.

On a tall mound in the southeast corner of the royal city, it was now densely packed with people in different clothes.

Seeing Caiyun coming, the crowd consciously separated left and right, giving way to a path into the inner circle.

Chen Yu raised his eyes and saw that many deep pits had been dug out of the flat ground, and the excavated soil had not had time to be transported away, so it was piled up nearby.

In the middle of the platform is a nine-story platform tied with a rope of waist-thick giant logs, with a simple wooden ladder leading to the top.

On the top of the wooden platform, a bonfire is being lit, and a crimson dragon flag hunts and moves, which is extremely powerful.

Under the high platform, a layer of flat altar was paved with wooden boards, and at the four corners stood a shoulder-high bronze giant tripod, and in the middle interval, there were bronze statues holding ivory, all of them wearing high crowns, wearing brocade robes, with drooping eyes and ears, and the face was covered with a thin layer of gold leaf, I don't know what the purpose was.

In the center of the altar, there are three animals and five grains, and several fluttering flags and ribbons.

The altar was surrounded by a circle of ironclad knights holding Changge, separating the crowd from the altar.

Caiyun drove the white tiger straight to the altar, and then let Chen Yu down, and walked straight up the steps.

The cool morning breeze gently swayed the hem of her skirt, stirring her long hair, but it was difficult to soothe the solemnity on her face.

At this moment, she is not a lively girl on the peach mountain, but the chief of the witches of the Jinsha country, and the high priest who holds the authority to talk to the gods.

She was dressed in a gold-painted black sacrificial dress embroidered with intricate patterns, a strange hat with black feathers and precious stones, a golden scepter in her hand, and a bronze mask hanging from her waist on behalf of Chen Yu, like an agent of the gods walking the world.

Only then did Chen Yu see that King Jinsha had also arrived with his ministers, and was in the direction of due south, walking up the stairs along the bluestone paved Shinto.

On either side of Shinto, a few steps away stood a strong man wearing a demon mask, waving a torch in his hand and chanting a song with inexplicable meaning.

The King of Jinsha wore a blood-red cloak, wore gold armor, and hung a long sword at his waist, and ascended the altar without hurrying. The body is not tall, but it contains an indomitable domineering.

The eldest prince followed closely behind him, and on the other side, a young man with a three-point resemblance to the King of Sands also followed.

A moment later, King Jinsha walked to Caiyun's side and stood still, bowing slightly. In the audience, the ceremonial officer shouted:

"Silence—"

"Ask the High Priest to preside over the ceremony!"

The huge altar suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Caiyun, waiting to verify the opening of a legendary era, and she will personally compose the prelude to a war, will press the first note for a sacred remote that will determine the fate of the country, and press the first note for the defense war that will decide the fate of countless people.

This kind of excessive expectation is too cruel for her. The girl's still immature shoulders are burdened with too heavy expectations and pressure.

The girl on the altar is not only a noble high priest with a straight face, but also the person who is closest to war and life and death in the royal city at this moment.

The two wrestlers beat the drum hard, and the rumbling war drums resounded through the sky, majestic and heavy, as if with a great power that spans the past and the present.

Accompanied by the sound of drums, Caiyun waved a golden scepter in his hand, stepped on the steps containing strange rhythms, and sang loudly:

"Silkworm subjects, descendants of cypress bushes."

"Towering ancestors, bloody and heart-wrenching."

"Expand the frontier and start a business, crying ghosts and gods."

"The candle dragon opens the mountain, and Luan Feng responds to the order."

“……”

The voice of the clouds was clear and high-pitched, echoing above the altar, as if praying for blessings, and as if they were telling requests with the indescribable things in the underworld.

And the Chinese people in the audience shouted in unison with the same reverence:

"Crusade against the Blue Mountains and consolidate my territory!"

"Tell Xihe and help the righteous deed!

Caiyun slowly raised the golden scepter above his head and said in a loud voice:

"Sacrifice three animals and five grains, and sacrifice to the ancestors of Jinsha."

The shaman at the head of the priest replied:

"Whoa! The ancestors are sheltered, and they are still feasting! ”

Caiyun said again:

"Offering the ivory bronze man, summoning the immortal heroic spirit!"

"Whoa! Heroic soul successor, martial arts! ”

Dozens of bronze statues are swaying, like ghosts and gods.

"Offering the golden tripod jade, begging the sun god Xi and the god Weide, protecting the territory and protecting the land!"

"Whoa! God bless Sands, Shangwei! ”

At this time, the blue and cloudless sky suddenly appeared, and a colorful cloud appeared and gradually expanded. Then, a pillar of golden light projected down from it, just shrouding Caiyun's body, and the golden scepter in her hand suddenly came to life, conjuring up two pairs of swimming fish, and two pairs of golden crows flying.

Caiyun said loudly: "Take the golden face, Sheng Shen's grace." ”

When the King of Jinsha on the side heard this, he immediately knelt on one knee, holding a golden mask in both hands, as if he was greeting something.

I saw Caiyun's fingers tapped, and the light and shadow of a golden crow and a swimming fish disappeared into the gold surface with a pop.

King Jinsha had a solemn face, and said with a bow: "Thank you for the generous gift of the sun god!" ”

The golden pillar of light that fell from the sky seemed to have exhausted its strength and slowly dispersed.

King Jinsha reverently and solemnly put on the golden face before getting up.

Facing the excited ministers and people under the altar, he pulled out his golden sword with a loud voice and shouted:

"All the soldiers obey orders!"

"Whoa!"

The mountain roared and the tsunami shook the sky.

"Swing and go!"

Tens of thousands of armor soldiers came out of the body with long knives, and the cold light was like snow.

"For the king's precursor, nine deaths without regrets!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Yu's blood was boiling, and he suddenly understood that for the people of Jinsha, it was a sacred and magnificent deed to join the army.

At the foot of the mountain, tens of thousands of neat soldiers have already been prepared, all eager to try, murderous, with the King of Jinsha order, they will be mighty to kill the distant border.
