Chapter 180 Burning sacrifices (six)

...

The Heavenly Master ordered that fasting and bathing three days before the burning sacrifice.

This is a grand and sacred ceremony, so no one from the palace to the Bai Mansion dares to slack off.

The Ministry of Rites also helped to do a lot of things.

And this grand and sacred altar was built in the old place where people worshipped the sky in all dynasties - the highest east wall in Yan'an City.

On the tenth day of March, dark clouds rolled in the sky.

The heavy rain that people thought would come without a drop coming. They were held in the black clouds, as if they were going to swallow the entire Yan'an City alive.

At the time of Si, Buzhang was waiting at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

Bai Ling was wearing a snow-white light shirt, which was the one that the Tianshi had painted with blood-colored runes.

His hair was scattered and he was wearing a white hat, which was covered with white veil and hung to his feet.

Bai Ling sat on the chasing. On this day, he could accept everyone's paleness and the scene was grand.

When people shouted Bai Ling's name and looked up at the young master who was about to become an immortal to bless the people, they could only see his faint face through the white veil. As for what kind of expression it was, no one could see clearly.

But everyone thought that Bai Ling must be smiling. Today is a day when he has supreme glory.

Watch the ritual platform of the sacrifice, and sat the emperor, the prince, and all the important officials.

Bai Jue also sat in it, not far from Prince Rong He.

In other words, at this angle, they can clearly see how Bai Ling burned out in the fire.

Gu Wanqing stood under the altar and was submerged in the figures of a group of people.

Bai Jue specifically instructed that no matter what happened today, they could not meet or talk.

Xuan Ming reminded Gu Wanqing in his ear, "The prince is a bit abnormal today."

"Indeed." Gu Wanqing turned his gaze to Rong He. He could sit next to the emperor calmly, as if he had mentioned something happy, and he was smiling.

Gu Wanqing begged in his heart, hoping that he was just in an abnormal mood.

After meeting Bai Ling that day, Bai Jue had other plans in his mind, but he refused to let Gu Wanqing intervene.

Bai Jue said that he had his own method, and he would definitely not let himself fall into danger and could also get out of his brother. But in this way, he didn't want Gu Wanqing to worry about being afraid, and not letting her know that the content of the plan was the best choice.

Yesterday, Gu Wanqing asked him how confident he is tomorrow?"

Bai Jue replied, 50%.

Gu Wanqing said that if you don’t take action on the day of the sacrifice, the chances are actually greater.

Bai Jue shook his head and said, "It's absolutely not possible. The Bai Mansion has been under surveillance these days. Even if he knocks his brother unconscious, he can't take him away. The best way to move his cell phone is to go to the sacrifice tomorrow."

He repeatedly assured Gu Wanqing that he would use a very safe method and would never involve them.

Bai Jue said that he wanted to balance many things, but he was very selfish and wanted to keep Gu Wanqing by his side, so ensuring his safety was his promise to Gu Wanqing.

In the southeast corner of the altar, some sneaky people appeared.

The second prince sat high, looked over there quietly, and looked at the prince again, thinking that soon, it would be the death of the prince. The prince's actions must have been stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix on the road of sacrifice, so as to kidnap Bai Ling.

A crisp and slow ringtone floated in.

People looked at the ringtone, thinking that it was carrying Bai Ling's steps.

But when I saw this, I only saw Bu Xian, but I didn’t see anyone I had with Bu Xian.

Rong He and Bai Jue were a little surprised and stiffened their bodies and looked at them, and there was indeed no one.

"Where is Bai Ling?" the emperor asked strangely.

Zhuque Tianshi stood up and explained: "When you go back to the emperor, the originally planned route has changed this morning. This is an empty sedan chair to avoid the gods. Bai Ling is coming from another cool underground passage that has been repaired and will walk directly to the altar."

What?!

Rong He and Bai Jue stood up almost at the same time.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of unexpected shock.

"What's wrong with you two?" The emperor stared at the two people who were synchronizing.

Bai Jue nodded and said calmly: "I and the prince are worried that they will miss the auspicious time."

The Tianshi smiled and said, "Your Highness, Lord Bai, please don't worry. The original noon time was already early to noon time."

Bai Jue looked angry, "So, the Heavenly Master has really made arrangements."

"The underground path was dug up half a year ago, just because I was afraid of something unexpected happening on this day." Tianshi said.

Not only did the Emperor not deliberately conceal the angry Master, he also praised: "With the Master Zhuque Master Nanyan, everything will go smoothly."

Rong He and Bai Jue sat back in their seats, each with their own thoughts.

Gu Wanqing in the audience thought that he was not good. The Heavenly Master must have guessed that someone was going to do something on the road he was driving away by the sacrificial step, so he repaired an underground plank road in advance.

Even Bai Jue didn't even notice this matter, and you can imagine how far-sighted the Suzaku Heavenly Master was.

Xuan Ming pulled Gu Wanqing's cuff, "General, the prince seems a little nervous, too?"

"Um……"

Gu Wanqing pursed her lips tightly, and looked at the prince's expression inch by inch with her eyes as she could.

Could it be that the prince has the same plan as Bai Jue?

If so, that would be bad!

Gu Wanqing's understanding of the prince is definitely not a meticulous person. He cannot have a thorough plan with Bai Jue. If he really takes action, he will not only expose himself, but also implicate the entire Bai family and cannot save Bai Ling.

When the time was approaching, a layer of wooden boards attached to the ground were lifted on the left side of the altar.

Below the wooden board are deep steps.

In front of everyone, a figure gradually appeared in the darkness.

Bai Ling is like a banished immortal, the white gauze on the hat is floating and scattered, like a god on earth.

The Tianshi announced that the fire was ignited, and the fire could directly devour a person's body.

Everyone looked at the altar, looking forward and excited. Most of their generation had never seen such a ceremony.

Bai Jue was looking for Chu Hao's figure on the nearby commanding heights.

Chu Hao imitated a bird's cry, and his head was hiding on another city wall.

Bai Jue looked at him and quietly made a simple sign language code-

The plan changes, withdraw!

Chu Hao was a little unwilling to give up in the distance, but seeing Bai Jue's expression firm, he had to send a secret code in disappointment, causing all those on standby to take action.

Xuan Ming was very nervous, clenched Gu Wanqing's hand, and in a boiling mood, lowered his voice and asked, "What should I do, General! With so many heavy troops here, there is no way to rob the little marquis?"

The third prince Rong Sheng was a little restless. He didn't like such a scene. In addition, these two brothers were a little weird today.
