Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1175 Ancient Sacrifice 1.0
Ah Piao stayed in that room for more than half an hour before coming out with a calm face.

Seeing that His Royal Highness and Hei Luer were still standing in a section of the secret passage, waiting for her, she felt a little surprised. She had asked the guards to tell the two of them that the things in the room were too weird. She needed to take a look, please. The two of them went outside and waited, don't suffer here.Unexpectedly, the two people who avoided the things in this room are still here.

"Why didn't you leave?" Ah Piao washed his hands in the clean water prepared by the guards, and then smoked his body with the lit mugwort stick, making sure that he had no smell, so he walked over, but he also walked An arm's length away from the two of them, not against them. "Didn't you say you don't have to wait? The smell inside is so bad, what's the point of staying here?"

"Why have you been in there for so long?" Hei Lu'er took two steps forward, "His Highness was worried that something might happen to you, so he refused to leave and insisted on waiting here, saying that if something really happened, we would Can help."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Seeing that Hei Lu'er took two steps forward, Ah Piao quickly stepped back a few steps, "My lord, stand where you are and don't move."

"No, what do you mean?" Hei Lu'er was puzzled, and blinked at A Piao, "Why are you so far away from us?"

"This house is not particularly auspicious. Generally speaking, if you have stayed in this kind of house, it is best to take a bath with water boiled with mugwort leaves to wash off the dirt on your body thoroughly. But now the conditions are not allowed, I can only I smoked it with a wormwood stick first, although it has no smell, I should avoid it to some extent. When I go back and take a bath with the wormwood leaves, it will not be too late for us to get closer."

"Oh, why bother?" Hei Lu'er couldn't laugh or cry, "Your Highness and I won't dislike you."

"This is a rule and cannot be broken."

"Xiao Hei!" His Highness leaned on the wall and slowly came over, but still kept a certain distance from A Piao, "This is the rule of Xiao Piao's family, you have to respect it."

"Your Highness still understands me." Ah Piao raised an eyebrow at Hei Lu'er, "My lord, you have to study hard."

"Xiao Piao, what's in there? Why did you stay there for so long? Did you see something?" His Highness was still holding the previous hawthorn ball in his hand, and stuffed one into his mouth. , "Those... are related to your family?"

A Piao leaned her back against the wall of the secret passage, and when she heard His Highness's words, she hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"Really?"

"En!" Ah Piao nodded again, "However, the method should not be. The person who arranged this thing has only learned the superficiality, and has not grasped the real essence. If it was really made by my family, Wanyan Qingmu would not be It's like this now."

"How do you say that?"

"Your Highness, in my opinion, Wanyan Qingmu's plan is not just to seize the throne."

"It's not just about taking the throne?" His Highness and Hei Lu'er looked at each other, "What else? What else does he want to do?"

"Immortal, eternal youth."

"What?" Hei Lu'er picked his ears, "Did I hear it wrong? There are still people who believe this these days, don't they..." Seeing His Royal Highness and Ah Piao squinting at him, "What... ...What? Did I... say the wrong thing?"

"No, it's okay if you don't believe it, Xiao Hei, but there are still many people who believe it." His Highness patted Hei Lu'er on the shoulder, "And many people not only believe it, but also spend a lot of energy and financial resources on it. .”

"Is that so?"

"Yes." Seeing that Hei Lu'er was still skeptical, Ah Piao shrugged, "Everyone's desire is completely different. Adults may not have the idea of ​​immortality and eternal youth, but many people do. Yes. The animal furs, animal bones, and the dried...animal blood placed in this secret room are all used for this." She paused, looked at the little Highness, "Your Highness , you should know more or less what my family used to do."

"I know." His Highness nodded, "To put it bluntly, it's pretending to be a ghost. It's basically the same as what my family does."

"Yes, they are basically the same. It's just that our family specializes in studying how to live forever. We study all kinds of methods. It is precisely because of this that we have caused a huge disaster and ended up..." Ah Piao sighed softly, "Although I was very young when my family was ruined, I had never been exposed to these things. But I don't know if I like these things in my bones. I have done some research on these things since I grew up. " She looked at the little highness, "You also know that quite a few of the books I usually read are about this kind of stuff, right?"

"That's right, I heard that when I was young, I didn't study hard, and was caught by my husband twice in three days, right?"

"It's not that I'm not particularly bad at studying, it's just that I was addicted to it for a while." Ah Piao waved his hand, "It's not important, the important thing is that the things inside, the way the fur and bones are arranged, are almost An ancient sacrificial ritual that has been lost."

"What is the sacrificial ceremony?" His Highness and Hei Lu'er looked at each other, "I've never heard of it."

"Because it is on the verge of being lost." Ah Piao sighed softly, "The library of the Wangfu contains all the wonderful books in the world. I have seen this sacrificial ceremony in many fragments of books. But, thank you Wanyan The person Aoki is looking for is half-baked, with only a half-knowledge of this sacrificial ritual, not only does it have no real effect, but it has a backlash. Otherwise, the current situation is beyond our control."

"Is it really... so amazing?"

"Someone has tried it before, but no one has used this kind of sacrificial ceremony in the past three hundred years." A Piao spread his hands, "I can't explain the sentence clearly. After we go back, we will talk to you two slowly. Speak slowly."
