Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 1736 Evil Sacrifice
After tidying up his clothes, the King of South Korea hurriedly saluted Xuanyuanche and Hua Mengying.

"I'm so rude, let all the distinguished guests laugh."

Hua Mengying waved her hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, we are all used to His Royal Highness's true temperament."

From the corner of Xuanyuanche's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Gu Ao Shuang who didn't know how to speak, and made a "please" gesture, "His Royal Highness hasn't introduced this important person yet, why don't you introduce him while the King of South Korea is here?"

Bu Jingyue hastily stretched out her hand to take Gu Aoshuang's hand, and said, "Father, this is what I mentioned in my letter about Gu Aoshuang."

Gu Aoshuang bowed respectfully to the King of South Korea and said, "Gu Aoshuang has seen the King."

Seeing his son holding the girl's hand, the King of Nanhan understood everything. He looked at Gu Ao Shuang a little bit, his eyes showed approval, nodded and said: "Not bad, Wang'er has grown up."

Bu Jingyue smiled and said: "Father, this is not a place to talk, let's go back to the palace, sit down and have a good chat!"

"it is good."

There was a sound of a carriage in the distance, after the carriage stopped, Bu Yuheng got off the carriage, and did not forget to reach out to help Xiaotao.

"My brother is late, I hope Brother Wang will forgive me."

Xuanyuanche recognized the little girl who was following him, and said: "Isn't this Xiaotao who is next to Miss Yiqiu? Why did you follow the prince into the palace?"

King Xuan was about to explain, but Xiaotao hurriedly said: "This servant wants to come in with the prince. The prince is sympathetic to the servant who has never seen what the royal city looks like, so he brought the servant here."

After she finished speaking, she gave Bu Yuheng a look, and the prince understood immediately, and followed her words and said, "Exactly."

King Nanyan said: "You decide on your own."

When Xiaotao's eyes fell on Xuanyuanche, she couldn't help feeling a little absent-minded. After not seeing him for a day or two, he seemed to be a bit haggard. Presumably, running away from home without authorization must have made Archer very anxious!

Hua Mengying looked at the little girl's eyes on Xuanyuan Che, her expression was dumbfounded, and she couldn't help reminding her: "Why are you standing still, why don't you leave?"

Only then did Xiaotao come to her senses, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes."

Stupid!You are not Fengqian now, but the maid Xiaotao, you must not reveal your secrets!

Xiao Tao murmured silently in her heart, but in Hua Mengying's eyes, she just thought that another woman was obsessed with Archer.

The King of South Korea invited everyone into the main hall, accompanied by King Xuan Buyuheng.

"We came to South Korea to bother you this time because of two things." After taking a seat, Hua Mengying went straight to the point, "One is because of my junior sister Feng Qian leaving, and the other is because of the Kuguiyuan Temple."

Nanhan Wangdao: "After I got the news of Miss Fengqian's departure earlier, I sent the people below to look for it according to the portrait, but there is no news yet."

"Where's the portrait?" Xuanyuan Che asked, "Can you show me the portrait?"

"of course."

The King of South Korea said he would send the portrait up, and Xuanyuanche frowned after taking a look at it.

Xiaotao was standing next to Bu Yuheng, and she didn't know what was wrong with the portrait that would make Archer so dissatisfied.

"This is the portrait of Qianqian when she was enthroned as Empress Dayan. She is no longer an empress and she is pregnant. How can I find it according to this portrait?"

Even though Xuanyuanche's tone was calm, the King of Nanhan hurriedly stood up and apologized, saying: "It's Gu's negligence, Gu ordered someone to repaint the portrait."

"I don't intend to blame the King of South Korea. Although Qianqian's appearance has not changed much from before, it is absolutely impossible to find her with this portrait."

Wang Wei of Nanhan said: "But Miss Fengqian has never appeared in public since she attended the judging committee of the Spiritual Chef Conference in the imperial capital. I don't know..."

Xuanyuanche said: "This deity knows the troubles of the king, I will paint the portrait myself, you just need to ask the court painter to reproduce the painting according to the deity."

What? !Archer coming to draw it himself? !Then how can I avoid it!

Xiao Tao couldn't help coughing several times in fright, Bu Yuheng asked: "What's wrong with Xiao Tao? But did you catch a cold?"

"It's okay, you go on, don't worry about me."

Xuanyuanche's eyes fell on Xiaotao, and he also had doubts in his heart, why this little girl was different from what he saw before, especially her eyes and behavior.

It's not like the demeanor a maid should have at all.

"There is also the matter of Kuguiyuan Temple." After Xuanyuanche finished speaking, his eyes signaled Bu Jingyue.

"Father, we found a temple in the Kuguiyuan swamp in the imperial capital. It is very strange. There is such a pattern painted in the temple."

While talking, Bu Jingyue took out the drawn pattern from her arms.

The eunuch took it and presented it to the King of South Korea.

When the King of South Korea saw the pattern, a trace of panic suddenly appeared in his eyes, followed by a look of disbelief.

"How... how come?"

Hua Mengying asked: "Your Majesty, is there any problem with this pattern?"

The King of South Korea seemed to have not yet recovered from his surprise. Xiao Tao in the hall looked really anxious, but due to her status, she didn't dare to ask rashly, so she could only bear it.

"Father, my child remembers that this pattern seems to be a symbol of sacrifice..."

"How? How could it appear again? Impossible, impossible..."

Seeing the expression of the King of South Korea, Xuanyuan Che expected that this matter would not be simple, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what does this pattern represent?"

"Sacrifice...the dead." The King of South Korea stumbled to his feet, and Bu Jingyue hurried up to support the King of South Korea.

"Father, don't worry, speak slowly."

The eunuch at the side also brought up hot tea and said, "Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself!"

After drinking tea, Nan Hanwang finally recovered his complexion. He took a deep breath and said, "This is a sacrificial pattern, but this kind of sacrificial ceremony is very evil. Gu Ye has already ordered the prohibition of using this sacrificial technique. Will appear?"

Hua Mengying asked: "Evil sacrificial art? What does it mean?"

"Living sacrifice."

The so-called living sacrifice refers to the use of a living person as a sacrifice. Before the end of the sacrificial ceremony, this person must not die. Once the ceremony is over, the life of the sacrifice will come to an end.

Using living animals as sacrifices is already very damaging to Yin morality, and using living people as sacrifices is simply damaging Yin virtue.

When he was in Kuguiyuan, Xuanyuanche thought of those spirit chefs who died innocently. Could it be that the temple is an altar and these spirit chefs are sacrifices?
If this is the case, then neither the Spiritual Cooking Union nor the Lingxian Pavilion can get away with it.

What do they use living people to sacrifice for?

Hua Mengying asked Xuanyuanche's doubts: "We have to perform sacrifices at the expense of Yin virtue, why is that?"

"It is said that living sacrifices can enable the priests to obtain high-strength skills. The more sacrifices, the greater the skills."

"Legend?" Bu Jingyue was puzzled, "Father, haven't you seen it?"

"When Gu was still a prince, a high priest in South Korea used this method, and ended up with a terrible end, and caused great disasters, almost causing the entire Lingyun Continent to be destroyed. Later, the king listed this technique as a forbidden technique. No high priest in South Korea is allowed to learn to use it, Gu originally thought that this sacrificial technique had been lost, and didn’t want it to reappear now.”
