Chapter 850
The carriage stopped at the outermost edge of the square. Su Yun opened the curtains and looked at the altar from afar.

Although it was night, the central altar was as bright as day under the illumination of the lights.

The altar, at least five meters high, was completely made of origin stones. Under candlelight and starlight, it shone like the sun in the dark.

In the center of the altar stood a Meng Tianji who was completely unfamiliar to her.

The white sacrificial gown, his always indifferent and mean face, was also covered with a bronze mask. His majesty in the night wind seemed to come from ancient times, not a real person.

"Why did he preside over the ceremony with a mask on?" Su Yun asked.

Because of several contacts with the mask organization, she felt instinctively uncomfortable when she saw the mask.

What's more, Meng Tianji wore a bronze mask on her face, which directly reminded her of the bronze city hidden in the mountains.

Seeing that she didn't like masks, the queen explained: "The last day is the communication between man and god, and wearing a bronze mask is a customary etiquette."

"Sure enough, I was thinking too much." Su Yun said in a low voice, an unpleasant feeling lingered in her heart and couldn't be driven away.

At this point, the ceremony officially begins.

……

Like Meng Tianji, everyone on the high platform wears bronze masks. The masks have different shapes and imply different status.

But when the masked people dance and sing in an ancient rhythm that has been traced back to their origin, the bells on the clothes will shake slightly, weaving illusions, and bringing the people in the whole square into a dreamlike world.

Believers from all over the country knelt down and prayed like crazy, their eyes full of fanaticism that Su Yun didn't understand.

"...what is he singing about?"

Although it was a little unpleasant, Su Yun still had to admit that she couldn't even understand what they were singing at the moment, she could barely recognize that it was a divine language, but unfortunately she could understand every word, but mixed together to form a sentence... …

"They are singing about the hard work and hardships of our ancestors." The queen explained, "We have many religious worships, but we worship our ancestors the most. In ancient times, ferocious beasts were rampant, and the world was dominated by evil gods. Meng's The ancestors experienced countless arduous battles, finally defeated the evil god and became a good god and ascended to the sky to rule and protect this land."

"So that's how it is." Su Yun said in a low voice, "So the poisonous people only worship the ancestors of the Meng Family, right?"

"Yes, the only one who enjoys worship in Shendu is the Meng family, and other famous families have to hold back if they are not convinced." The queen said indifferently.

Su Yun said: "I think the reason why they are not convinced and hold back is entirely because their strength is not as good as Mengjia."

When the queen heard the words, she chuckled and said, "Miss Su, you accidentally revealed the truth."

But this sentence also proves Su Yun's other conjecture. The Meng family who ruled the country by faith, and the nominal royal Ji family have many internal conflicts, and they have been in a repeated situation of cooperation and division.

"Queen, have you ever liked Meng Tianji?" Su Yun asked suddenly.

This unexpected question made the queen feel a little uncomfortable. She turned her face and said: "I have been playmates for ten years under the arrangement of my parents since I was a child. If you say that there is no feeling between childhood sweethearts, it must be true." It's a lie. It's a pity that I haven't really loved him, and I don't know whether my feelings for him are friends or love. But one thing is certain, if I hadn't become a queen back then, now... I should be happier, right?"

"Sorry, I poked your heart." Su Yun apologized.

The queen said: "There's nothing you can't mention. In fact, everyone wants to know the answer to this question. It's just that you are direct, and they dare not say it."

At this time, the first climax of the ceremony also came.

Meng Tianji walked slowly into the center of the song and dance, his clothes were covered with bells and jade pendants, every time he took a step, the bells and jade pendants would tinkle, it was Tian Cheng's movement.

He began to sing, and the voice that came out through the bronze mask carried an ancient rhythm, and every character would arouse endless sacred feelings in people's hearts.

Listening to the singing, I feel that time and space no longer exist. The square is full of people, but Su Yun feels as if she is standing in the boundless wilderness, looking at the barbaric world, the vast and endless sky, and experiencing the hard work of the ancestors and not easy.

Life and death, beauty and ugliness are actually unimportant. In the oldest past, strength was the only thing to rely on!
"Some of my... past cognitions seem to be wrong..." She murmured in a low voice, feeling the surging waves in her heart.

The singing voice is still reverberating in the ears, and the notes that are completely incomprehensible, but flowing into the heart can arouse sacred feelings. One character after another floats in the air, burning quietly, decorating the night extremely sacred.

The sky began to have some light, and it was the morning star rising up.

Su Yun raised the curtains and looked at the white sky, and the man in black who was obviously out of place in the darkness.

"What are they here for?" Su Yun frowned.

After hearing the words, the queen also leaned over and looked at it for a long time before saying, "Miss Su, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand at all."

Su Yun smiled slightly, and said, "You don't need to understand, it's just that there may be some unexpected changes in today's ceremony."

"Accident?" The queen gasped, "You mean that someone wants to launch...forcibly replace the king of God, so that the country will fall into turmoil from now on?"

Su Yun didn't answer, she pushed the car and said, "I have to leave for a while! The ceremony is very solemn, but unfortunately I have more important things to do!"

The queen understood, and said: "Miss Su, you just go, today is the memorial day, and the ancestors of the Meng family will watch you from the sky."

Hearing this, Su Yun didn't bother to thank her, she immediately jumped off the carriage, and was escorted by the envoy of the Meng family who had been waiting for a long time, and disappeared into the crowded crowd.

Seeing her going back, the queen let out a long sigh, and said to her side: "I didn't expect things to develop according to your hope, ghost girl."

The ghost girl sneered on her red lips when she heard the words, and said, "But what surprised them the most was your position, the queen. Your husband was only thinking of being a sideline spectator and reaping benefits from it, but you - the feeling of helping the ex-fiancé, Is it really that good?"

"Husband? What kind of husband is Ji Dan!" The queen said with a cold face, "I should have been the princess of the gods! The princess of the gods and the queen, on the surface, seem to be the same noble, but in fact there is a huge difference! What's more-"

"What's more, it's also to achieve the goal by unscrupulous means. At least Mengtianji will not force you, but Jidan...will use all kinds of tricks." The ghost girl added with a chuckle, opened the car curtain, and made a gesture.

The people in black were instructed and trained to disappear into the darkness.

Seeing this scene, the queen also sighed in a low voice: "Miss Su, don't blame me for being cruel, I also have my own reasons. Between Meng's family and Ji's family, I chose... If you are still alive after today, don't worry about it." Don't settle accounts with me! No, even if you ask me to settle accounts, I will not admit it!"
