Chapter 211: The Sacrifice Begins
Chapter 211 The sacrifice begins
Shen Luo held on to the paddle on the canoe, looked at Xie Yunsheng beside him, and asked softly: "Have you ever noticed anything wrong with the canoe? Have you noticed anything wrong with the villagers?"
Xie Yunsheng looked at the villagers preparing for the sacrifice and said softly: "They are all doing things according to the rules, there should be nothing wrong with them."
"It's just that this boat always feels a little weird." Xie Yunsheng looked at the canoe at Shen Luo's feet and frowned, "But you can't tell on the surface."
Shen Luo stepped on the wooden board under his feet and replied in a deep voice: "But I still remember what the old lady said. The dances for sacrifices, the ships for sacrifices, and the fireworks for sacrifices must be made according to certain specifications, and even drawings are drawn for everyone to follow the drawings. The production requirements are exactly the same as the dimensions on the drawings.”
"Don't you think it's strange?" She looked at Xie Yunsheng and asked softly.
"It's a little strange." During the reply, Xie Yunsheng carried Shen Luo off the ship, carefully looked at the size and position of the ship in front of him, and softly replied: "Did you see any clues?"
Shen Luo replied softly: "You are right, the ship has been tampered with. If it is accompanied by a special dance for sacrifice, the structure of the ship will be changed."
Shen Luo raised his eyes to look at the sky in the distance and whispered: "I remember that the Imperial Preceptor of Emperor Yuan once predicted that a person named Xie would conquer the world. Do you think that Imperial Preceptor was the one who asked the villagers of Yanshan Village to sacrifice the Dragon King? people."
"But I still remember that when you and I met, there was a case of child abduction."
Shen Luo looked back at Xie Yunsheng and asked, "You should know these things, right?"
Xie Yunsheng looked at Shen Luo and waited quietly for Xie Chenluo's answer.
Xie Yunsheng, to me, you are God’s gift to me. I don’t care where I am with you.
Shen Luo asked, and then continued: "After the trafficked children were returned to the victims' homes, I once heard them say that the reason why Emperor Yuan became so violent was because the Imperial Master who had bewitched Emperor Yuan was greedy and lustful. , in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he encouraged Emperor Yuan to increase taxes, recruit concubines, and even fornicate the harem."
"There are still important things to do tomorrow." Shen Luo reminded softly.
"To have you by my side now is a great gift to me." Seeing no one around, Shen Luo quietly took Xie Yunsheng's hand.
On the way, Xie Yunsheng looked at Shen Luo beside him and asked softly: "You have only watched the sacrificial dance twice. Can you really remember it?"
"Xie Yunsheng, no matter what we encounter tomorrow, it won't hurt me, because you are by my side." Shen Luo took Xie Yunsheng's hand and walked forward: "Xie Yunsheng, my son I saw my mother and sister dancing together, and later Qiu Yuning also taught me."
Shen Luo didn't look back, still feeling Xie Yunsheng's melancholy, and said softly: "I have never had a complete New Year in these years."
"Your Majesty and your Majesty are so kind to me and love me so much. How can I let go of an old Taoist priest who may have almost killed your Majesty?" Shen Luo said what he was thinking without hesitation. .
As long as we are together it will be fine.
Shen Luo glanced back at Xie Yunsheng: "Are you still doubting me?"
Lunar New Year's eve
Shen Luo got up early in the morning and was helped by the old woman to change into sacrificial clothes. The sacrificial people accompanying him beat gongs and drums as if they were getting married and escorted Shen Luo onto the boat.
If that person is really Cang Qing, she will never let him go.
"My master said that the Imperial Master beside Emperor Yuan was extremely talented. He could even summon the wind and rain, and he was very proficient in the art of divination and Qimen Dunjia."
The orange sunset shone on Shen Luo's face, her curled eyelashes seemed to carry a layer of soft light, and her amber eyes were dazzling. Xie Yunsheng looked a little crazy and couldn't reply for a long time.
As the sun set, Xie Yunsheng and Shen Luo walked together, their eyes filled with guilt, and they remained silent along the way.
Xie Yunsheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If our opponent is really Cang Qing, the master of the Yuan Empire, this will be a difficult battle. Are you sure?"
Xie Yunsheng suddenly came back to his senses and whispered: "It's nothing, I just panicked for a moment."
"I'll dance for you tomorrow."
She has made a decision and will never look back.
Shen Luo followed Xie Yunsheng's gaze and looked into the distance, and said softly: "Okay, let's go back first!"
Shen Luo somewhat understood the reason for Xie Yunsheng's cold voice, ignored his answer, and stepped forward: "Don't think about other things. It's getting late, let's go back early!"
"Those two people are both old men in the palace, and they know everything about the affairs in the palace. They said that the imperial master has some abilities, and can even be said to be profound in Taoism, and he can manipulate Emperor Yuan into his hands."
"On New Year's Eve, every household was laughing and talking, and on the first day of the first lunar month, everything had nothing to do with me. I could only watch from a distance, but later I didn't even dare to look, and would hide alone in the mountains."
Now is not the time to talk about these things, they have more important things to do.
"Whether you are sure or not will only be known after you have done it." Shen Luo looked at Xie Yunsheng and said softly: "If the old Taoist priest who bewitched the villagers in Yanshan Village is really Cang Qing, the imperial master of Emperor Yuan, I can't let it go even more. Pass him."
Xie Yunsheng raised his hand to support Shen Luo's body and asked Shen Luo to step on the stones and walk to his side: "Watch your step."
I don't know since when, Shen Luo has been sincere and sincere to Xie Yunsheng, without any secrets.
Xie Yunsheng kept up with Shen Luo and said softly: "Tomorrow is our first New Year. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."
"I know the prophecy of that national master, and I also know that that national master has some abilities." Xie Yunsheng looked at the unique mark on the canoe and said in a deep voice: "I heard my master say that that national master seems to be the same as My master studied in the same school, and he was also my master's uncle. He was expelled from the school for unknown reasons."
Seeing the sun slowly setting, Xie Yunsheng reminded him softly: "Luo'er, it's getting late. Go back and rest early!"
Shen Luo looked into Xie Yunsheng's dazed eyes, raised his hand and shook it in front of her. Seeing that she didn't respond at all, he asked softly: "What's wrong? Why don't you reply?"
As he said that, a glimmer of light flashed in Xie Yunsheng's eyes: "Yes, I remembered what you said. The only person who has been expelled from the master in these years is the national master Cang Qing."
Shen Luo said: "It doesn't matter, I don't care."
There was a drum set up on the canoe, and various sacrifices and property used for sacrifices were placed on both sides of the canoe. Xie Yunsheng hid in it.
The sound of gongs, drums, and suonas subsided, and Xie Yunsheng was still hiding in the wooden box, not moving rashly, paying attention to the movements around Shen Luo.
Shen Luo gently pushed open the wooden box and took out the gongs and drums: "You must be exhausted! Let's breathe some air."
"Perhaps that person has been watching nearby. Don't move, so as not to alert the enemy and mess up our plan."
After saying that, Shen Luo stood up holding the mallet and beat the drum set on the canoe!
