Chapter 91: Sacrificial Ceremony
Shui Zexi felt that today was too strange. Others felt cold, but only she felt hot. She was wearing light tulle clothes, with chrysanthemums embroidered on the light-colored clothes. The name of the flower is Lushui Qiubo. This name is the same as Shui Zexi's outfit today - light and beautiful.
"This is the first time I have attended this kind of sacrificial activity!" Jin Ling saw that there were some politicians and celebrities on the seats next to the altar. In addition, under the influence of this atmosphere, her mood naturally rose.
"Two, please come here!" Huang Cen came over to lead the way for them.
"Old lady, Miss Jin and Young Master Mu are here." Huang Cen said respectfully, leading them to the side of the old lady Dugu.
"Here, hurry up, come and sit down." Old Mrs. Dugu looked up and greeted him enthusiastically. She thought to herself: Jin Ling looks really similar to Luo Feili! The young master Mu next to her is Mu Qi.
Recently, the Mu family intends to go to the Jin family to discuss the marriage of their two children. Logically speaking, the Mu family is a political family, so there is no need to "climb" the marriage with the Jin family. It must have received some news. Otherwise, why aren't they so active before?
The old lady Dugu was right. It was indeed because the Mu family found some things, and it was very beneficial to the Mu family's help.
"Grandma, the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin." Liu Shiyu reminded from the side.
Jin Ling looked at her from head to toe.
"I look good, but today's look of bitterness and hatred, I don't know how to mess with Zexi when I go back." Jin Ling lowered her eyes and passed in her head. Shui Zexi, can she attack her sister, is it impossible to be afraid of her? It seems that among them, Dugu Ming, was "confronted" to ensure that she could still sit here well, otherwise, she would have been tortured to death by Shui Zexi long ago! Although, Shui Zexi is indeed a little more ladylike than Jin Ling. There are also people who are not afraid of heaven or earth, such as Shui Zening, who is like Shui Zening, who can't let her go like this no matter how good his temper is.
Dugu Ming, it’s very tired to be sandwiched between three women! I hope Mu Qi will not have such troubles in the future, so I thought about it and leaned over and hugged him.
"What's wrong?" Suddenly, someone was hugged. He looked down and saw that it was Jin Ling. He smiled and touched Jin Ling's hair, put it in her ear, and asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing, I just want to hug you." Jin Ling buried her coquettishly in his arms, and arched her sideways on his chest.
"Look, look, it's starting!" Liu Shiyu and the old lady said.
Jin Ling no longer thought about anything else and focused on the altar in front of her.
At this time, Dugu Ming and Shui Zexi walked side by side, followed by two rows of people. They were either holding flags or holding something else, which Jin Ling had never seen before. Of course, he didn't know why this was used.
"These two people are really right today!" Forget it, I can't understand the sacrificial ceremony, I can always understand the handsome guys and beautiful girls.
Upon climbing the steps of the altar, Dugu Ming held Shui Zexi's hand, cool.
"Is my head still dizzy?" Dugu Ming asked.
"The wind is blowing, it's better." It's so strange, I still feel hot.
"Follow me closely." A word that makes people feel at ease for a moment.
"Um!"
At the beginning of the sacrifice, the two rows of people who were originally following behind are now standing around the altar, forming a circular encirclement, surrounding them in the middle.
There is a large cauldron in the center of the altar, and on the altar in front of the cauldron are some tributes piled up in hills. They are nothing more than fruits, vegetables, pastries and meat.
Shui Zexi stood beside Dugu Ming and quietly watched his every move. Threads of golden soft light appeared in front of him, which was released by Dugu Ming's spiritual power, accompanied by the cold and sweet fragrance.
The surroundings are too noisy and in the open area, you can hear what Dugu Ming is singing in a vague way, but you can't listen to it very clearly. Close your eyes and calm your impetuous heart.
With a calm mind and surrounded by sweet fragrance, Shui Zexi felt that she was not that hot anymore.
...
"Grandma, I'll make some arrangements and come back in an hour." Liu Shiyu leaned into the ear of the old lady Dugu and said.
"Go, you have always arranged this matter, and I'll leave it to you today!" Liu Shiyu was going to arrange their rest. Half an hour later, Dugu Ming and Shui Zexi would have an intermission break.
"I'm quite busy-" Jin Ling glanced at Liu Shiyu and said in her heart.
"Sister Zexi is really beautiful. If you wear the same clothes, you will definitely be as beautiful as Sister Zexi. No, you will definitely be more beautiful than Sister Zexi!" Mu Qi saw Jin Ling looking straight to Liu Shiyu, trying to divert her attention.
"Zexi is more suitable. You have been chasing me for so many years, but you still don't know my personality?!" He was careless and refused to wear long skirts at the banquet. The reason was that it was too hindered!
"You're beautiful in whatever you wear!" Mu Qi turned to look at her, full of pampering.
"Okay, I know! Look, what is Zexi doing?" Jin Ling stared at the altar.
Originally, Shui Zexi had closed her eyes, but just a few minutes later, Shui Zexi felt a throbbing in her heart. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Dugu Ming. There was no low chanting in her ears. She saw the golden soft light turning from wisps to wisps. Unexpectedly, the spiritual power was released so quickly!
Dugu Ming's face was not very good, a little pale, and he was sweating coldly.
"Is the previous injury not healed yet?" This is the only reason Shui Zexi could think of.
"It's okay, it just hurts a little." Dugu Ming endured the pain and tried his best to make his voice sound calm.
"Does it have to release so much spiritual power?" Shui Zexi suddenly asked. She didn't know if such a sacrifice had a certain limit that must be reached, but now there are only two of them in the middle of the altar. Not to mention what she can do, she should help him out even out of ordinary "morality".
"Listen, I can just support me when I can't hold on for a while!" As a high priest, I must never fall down during the sacrifice.
Although it is the 21st century now, many open-minded people may not think there is anything. But more people who believe in these things will subconsciously think that - unknown!
"Okay!" Perhaps, now this is what a "couple" should look like!
On the other side of the altar, Liu Shiyu was busy arranging a resting place for the two people on the altar. She simply prepared some fruits and snacks, and two cushions, so that they could sit cross-legged while resting.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Shui Zexi stood beside Dugu Ming and supported him. Seeing that he was not in good condition, he asked softly: "How long will it take?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Shui Zexi really wanted to pat her head: I didn’t ask just now, what’s the use of asking now?
"Ten minutes, you can go to the altar to rest in ten minutes." At this time, Liu Shiyu should have been ready! After all, she has always prepared it, so she is very comfortable!
"Okay!" It's not that Shui Zexi can't hold on, it's because she's afraid that the person around her can't hold on! So many people are there, and I heard the old lady say before, "This sacrifice is very important, and there can't be any mistakes." Even if you insist on holding on, you have to hold on.
When time came, Dugu Ming seemed to have been drained from his body. He leaned against Shui Zexi and let Shui Zexi take him down the altar and sat cross-legged on the prepared cushion.
"Brother Ming, why is your face so pale?" Liu Shiyu asked worriedly. She might have guessed the reason herself, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is it caused by the injury?"
"It's okay, don't think too much!" Dugu Ming interrupted her.
"Get a towel and help wipe it." Shui Zexi sat down beside him, and Liu Shiyu, the "tribe" went to get the towel.
Now, Liu Shiyu noticed Shui Zexi. She saw her sitting there without feeling uncomfortable at all.
"What are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?" Seeing that she didn't understand, Shui Zexi asked.
"No, look at your face being red." Liu Shiyu's answer was very real. "You, it doesn't matter?" It seemed to be caring, but in fact it was more of a test. As he was talking, he sent someone to get a towel and carefully wipe Dugu Ming's sweat.
"I'm fine. I just feel a little hot today, but it's better now." Unintentionally, I looked up at the sky and saw two phoenixes flying in the air.
"There is a phoenix!" Shui Zexi exclaimed in a low voice.
"Where are there any phoenixes? They are just two birds." Liu Shiyu looked up and said, "Are you hungry? You're dazzled?"
Not a phoenix? That's a phoenix! Shui Zexi still looked at the two phoenixes flying in the sky with their wings spreading their wings. After thinking about it, he immediately understood.
Just like they could not see Dugu Ming's spiritual power, only she could see these two phoenixes. Just like in the dream, one red and one blue, one phoenix and one phoenix.
"Get the time to rest, there will be half an hour in a while." Dugu Ming reminded her.
"Yeah, I understand."
The two sat down, calmed down, and accumulated energy in their bodies.
...
The two people standing on the altar again were in a slightly better state than they had just now. There were also a phoenix and a phoenix flying in the air, which gave Shui Zexi an inexplicable sense of security.
"This time, let's go together!" Shui Zexi said, actively holding Dugu Ming's hand.
Dugu Ming tried to release his spiritual power again and found that some of the spiritual power released this time were not his. Shui Zexi looked at the strands of spiritual power, and the golden soft light was mixed with a little red soft light. I guess the red soft light was his spiritual power.
Shui Zexi's spiritual power was pulled away from his body bit by bit, and passed through Dugu Ming's body, leaving part of it as a vacant supply for spiritual power to release, and the other part was released along with his spiritual power. Is this the blood contract mentioned in the book? Is there such an effect?
But, if it is really as stated in the book, will Shui Zexi just...
Dugu Ming didn't dare to continue thinking, looking at Shui Zexi beside him, but found Shui Zexi looking at him.
"What are you thinking? I feel that you are uneasy." Shui Zexi said lightly, with a little tiredness in her tone.
"It's nothing, don't do this in the future. This is the first and the last time." Shui Zexi didn't understand what Dugu Ming said, and he didn't want to ask.
"Can you think about something else during sacrifice? Shouldn't you have a pious heart?" Shui Zexi asked casually. This principle is the same as praying to God and Buddha - sincerity will make you feel.
"After going back, I have something to tell you." Dugu Ming didn't want to hide the blood contract, which would be of no benefit to both of them. He should let this girl know something and not act rashly!
As soon as these words were spoken, neither of them said anything and planned to preside over the sacrifice seriously.
