Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Nuwa Sacrifice

Later, this jade Ruyi with a strange origin did not come in handy, so he could only press the bottom of the box and eat ashes.

Not only that, Huo Rendong found that when she went out to class, the stewards and disciples who met Lu Yu were extremely attentive and enthusiastic to her, and they were like two people before.

Wang Peiling, who was powerful in the sect, disappeared on the spot, and the two followers who followed her, Wang Wei and Wang Lian, also knelt down at the door of her cave and begged for forgiveness.

said that if she didn't forgive them, they would be thrown to the cliff for ten years by Cihui Zhenjun.

…… This seems to be something Qi Ci can do.

For the evil breath of the response some time ago, the medicine farmers in Xidongtian watched the show every day and were addicted.

Huo Rongdong was not surprised by his childish behavior and did not take it to heart.

On the third day of the next month, Baiyujing Nuwa Festival, the whole city will have a day off.

In the first half month of the Nuwa Festival, the city began to be lively, not only in Baiyujing City, but also in the four subordinate towns, and many business-minded people appeared in the streets and alleys.

They sell some flower clothes made of flowers and ribbons, tiaras and trinkets that symbolize good luck, and folding fans that ward off evil spirits and folding fans depicting the appearance of divine envoys, all of which can be used on the day of the sacrifice.

Vendors push carts full of goods from the streets to the end of the streets, shouting and shouting one after another.

There are also many disciples of the sect who just ran out to play at first glance, and the entire Bai Yujing was extremely noisy up and down.

The parade of goddesses begins at the time when the bronze ancient bell rings at the gate of Bai Yujing, and the tradition is one quarter at noon.

At that time, the float of the goddess and the three divine envoys will set off from the central bell tower of Bai Yujing to the eastern district of the city, and travel through the four towns in the order of southeast, west, and northwest, sowing the rain to benefit the mortals, and then returning to the center to hold a bonfire to preach the song, which is considered to be the end.

If you're lucky, a mortal village closer to you can be blessed.

The Nuwa Festival is a major event every year, the road of the goddess in the city has been set up in advance with brightly colored seven-colored silkworm yarns, and a red lantern is hung at intervals, and a small persimmon is hung in the pavilion of the house, and the whole street is bright in the sun.

Since Huo Rongdong has been entrusted by Si Hongkuo, he is ready to do a good job. She got up early today, and before dawn, she went to the central bell tower with two other female disciples who were pretending to be divine envoys.

The bell tower, which no one has set foot on weekdays, is full of people up and down at the moment, and everyone is so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, among which those who shout and run are in a mess.

Si Hongkuo was holding a clairvoyant and a loudspeaker weapon in his hand, and he was directing his disciples everywhere. Seeing her coming, he hurriedly waved his hand to say hello and led the person upstairs.

Although the float only has one goddess and three oracles, there are a lot of supporting personnel around.

The Generalissimo of the Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Soldier and the Heavenly General, the Thunder Male and Electric Mother, and the Land Mother-in-law......

Not to mention that mortals like this kind of immortal drama, even immortal cultivators like it.

The first and second floors of the bell tower were crowded with people changing clothes and putting on makeup, most of them were men, the clothes of the heavenly soldiers and generals were already heavy, they were hot and tired, and in this noisy environment, the sound was even louder than the other.

Just squeezing through them, Huo Rongdong felt that his ears were ringing and he was already dizzy.

Is this the story behind the Nuwa Festival...... She slandered in her heart.

Don't look at it in order in front of ordinary people, in fact, you can't tell how chaotic it is.

Fortunately, Si Hongkuo seems to have a lot of face, and he has no hippie smile on weekdays. Now that he arrived at the bell tower, Huo Rongdong realized that he was also a true disciple with an identity. When the busy actors saw him, they also wanted to stop and shout Senior Brother Si.

Si Hongkuo used his privilege to make room for them to be relatively spacious and clean, and also called two little junior sisters who were responsible for helping with makeup.

"Today, there are many people with mixed eyes and few people, Master specially told me to take care of you, you are here to prepare, and when the time comes, someone will naturally call."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to greet the two little junior sisters, who were still holding gorgeous clothes and jewelry with bright colors in their hands.

Huo Rongdong could see at a glance that something was wrong: "This is not the heavenly clothes of the divine envoy. ”

The two little junior sisters glanced at each other: "Senior sister, this is the heavenly clothes of the goddess Nuwa." ”

Si Hongkuo scratched his head and lowered his voice: "Harm, you know it too." Wang Peiling was punished by her uncle to think about the cliff face, and it would take three years to come out. It's too late to find someone on the spot. No matter from which point of view, Senior Sister Huo, it's just right for you to be this goddess. ”

Huo Nindong had a headache: "Isn't that divine envoy missing someone?" ”

Si Hongkuo waved his hand: "It's okay, the two of them are standing on the left and right, and there are some bouquets in the middle, one less person is not a big problem." ”

The organizers have said so, what can Huo Honeysuckle do. She obeyed everything and nodded.

Si Hongkuo arranged the three most important women, and then went to work on other things.

The actors of the divine envoys who have been selected to participate in the parade of floats in the past dynasties are all fair-skinned and delicate-looking girls, and they are generally the true descendants and inner disciples of the major branches of Tianyan Sect, and they are famous for their outstanding appearance.

Huo Rendong's voice was too high, so Si Hongkuo licked his face and came to the door for help.

The steps of changing clothes and makeup are very troublesome, Huo Rendongguang watched the layers of pearl powder pounce on his face, and his face was white, and he painted his eyebrows, lips and hair, and the two young little sisters became puppet dolls in a blink of an eye...... She felt tired.

When the two of them roughly changed their clothes, it was Huo Rendong's turn.

When she looked at others, she was fine, but she realized the difficulty of putting on makeup herself: those heavy hair buns and hairpins were crowned on her head; The fat powder with a rich fragrance drills into the nose.

Huo Nindong sneezed several times, closed his eyes and remained motionless.

The sister who put on her makeup is a chatterbox.

The other party drew his eyebrows and joked with a smile: "Senior sister, your skin is whiter and more tender than pearl powder, I don't dare to puff more powder." ”

A junior sister who had already painted her makeup also smiled: "It's just that we oracles are standing next to the goddess, and there is really no color at all." ”

They chatted with each other, and when the makeup was over, Huo Rendong's neck was so sore that he couldn't move.

"That's it!"

Huo Rongdong slowly opened her eyes, her gaze fell on the water mirror in front of her, she was slightly stunned, revealing a shocked expression.

When her father and mother were still there when she was a child, she was also a little girl who didn't do rough work at home. Later, she lived alone, and she had to plow the land and collect medicine, and she didn't dress up much.

The more she grows, the contours of her eyebrows and eyes gradually open, and she has a beautiful appearance. Of course, she knew that her appearance was outstanding, otherwise Han Lu would not be willing to marry her.

It's just that she never knew that her face would be ...... after being decorated with rouge and gouache There is such a big difference. She doesn't seem to know that the person in the mirror is herself!

The woman in the mirror seems to be another person, a character beauty who is completely unfamiliar to Huo Rendong, with gorgeous clothes and a smile.

It was close to noon, the sun was poisoning, and there was still half an hour before the floats went out of the street, and the smell of rice began to waft on the street.

Because most of the people who participated in the sacrifice were disciples below the foundation building period, and they couldn't cultivate enough to open the valley, the organizer also prepared refreshments for them.

The float of the province has not yet returned, and the heavenly soldiers and generals starved to death in the middle of the road.

Huo Honeysuckle dressed up and sat at the table, and saw two little servants carrying food boxes and specially bringing pastries and tea, all of which were very exquisite.

Look at those little guys again, dressed in dark blue short coats with fishtail wooden charms, they are dressed up in Yinhai Study.

A junior sister opened the lid of the teapot and sniffed: "Wow, there is fresh green bamboo dew." ”

"There are also white bean cakes that are sold out every day, I've wanted to eat them for a long time!"

"Yinhai Study is really worthy of its reputation, and it's great to have their sponsorship."

A young servant bowed his head: "The lord of the Zhai should be asked by Qiushui Zhenjun to help, so he attaches great importance to this Nuwa sacrifice, and specially ordered to serve you well." ”

"If a few fairies want to eat, the little ones will do it immediately."

"Thank you for your trouble, it's enough."

Xiao Yu saluted respectfully and was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person staring at him.

He turned his face to look at it, and met a pair of clear and clear almond eyes.

A woman sat at the table, dressed in a rainbow-colored robe different from that of other gods, her black and shiny hair was pulled into a flying fairy bun, and she was wearing a golden crown on it.

Xiao Yu breathed for a while, didn't dare to look closely, quickly looked away, shook around the person next to him, and hung down again.

"The little one quits."

He and Jin Gan exited the noisy bell tower and came to a restaurant not far away.

In the private room, a handsome boy dressed in white was drinking alone by the railing.

Dugu Yi glanced at Xiao Yu, and the latter immediately reported: "Master Zhai, the things have been sent over, and the two divine envoys like it very much, but Miss Huo has already built the foundation, but she doesn't eat anymore." ”

Dugu Yi showed a satisfied expression: "Zhuji, I know that she is not an idle woman." ”

He shook the wine cup in his hand: "You saw her, how is it?" ”

Xiao Yu was stunned, glanced at the dumb slave standing next to him who was silent, lowered his head and said.

"β€”Closing the moon and shyness."
