Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 26
A large piece of land in front of the Temple of Heavenly Kings has been cleaned up, and a circle-shaped site is surrounded by one-foot-high bluestones. A circular altar is built in the middle of the site. The ceremony has not yet started, and there is nothing on the altar.

Officials are lined up according to official rank on one side of the field, and a phalanx formed by musicians is on the other side.Chengying came with a tray in his hand, and on it was a jade ritual vessel more than one foot long, which was called Zhengui. It is said that Song Qingtong had been trained before coming. The cutscene is enough.

Holding Zhengui facing the southwest, at this time the drums and music were playing, Dongfang Liang led a white sheep, the corners of Song Qingtong's eyes began to twitch, almost trembling hands took the rope, pulled the sheep up to the altar, and inserted Zhengui into his waist , Draw out the saber, who stipulated that the emperor must kill the sheep himself?Fortunately, she had greeted Chi Xiao in advance, with a ferocious expression on her face, and was about to pretend to draw a sword, when Aries suddenly fell to the ground with a plop.

Song Qingtong's forehead was covered with black lines, what did Chi Xiao do?Didn't she specifically ask him to wait until she swings the sword before making a move?And why is there no injury on the sheep?Chi Xiao, who was hiding in the branches, was also wondering, he obviously didn't do anything, why did the sheep fall to the ground?Outside the altar, Shui Jing made a gesture of recuperation, with her palms on her side.

What followed was a series of cumbersome sacrificial activities, a large tripod, and some sacrificial vessels that Song Qingtong could not name, filled with sacrificial offerings and carried to the altar.After Song Qingtong finished reading the long sacrificial oration, he lit the pile of firewood on which the sacrificial offerings were placed, and offered vegetables, fruits and fine wine.In short, it was already an hour after Song Qingtong finished all these tasks.

Next, is the last procedure of offering sacrifices to heaven...music and dance.Dozens of dancers poured out of the Tianwang Temple, all with grass skirts around the waist, coir raincoats on the shoulders, and plaster on their faces. The dancers lined up and danced into the round-shaped venue. original dance.

The autumn sun is like fire, and this is the hottest time of the day. Song Qingtong is already sweating profusely, and the sweat on her forehead drips down her cheeks onto the neckline embroidered with golden dragons. The dance team has been dancing for a long time, and there is no sign of ending , Song Qingtong was blinded by the sun, scolding Dongfang Liang secretly, where did this group of blind guys find them?
Suddenly, there was a flash of blue light in front of him, and a gust of dark wind hit. Before Song Qingtong could dodge, Chi Xiao's sword had already arrived. With a clang, the dagger was knocked flying, and then Chi Xiao nimbly jumped off the branch, and kicked at the assassin. The dancer, the assassin dodges and shouts: "If you are a fool and have no way, you will be punished by heaven!"

Everything was in the blink of an eye, the assassin yelled, and finally awakened everyone who was in a state of stupidity, the other dancers pulled out their daggers from their waists, and swarmed at Song Qingtong. Landing in front of Song Qingtong, with a flick of the whisk, the whisk draws a semicircle with internal force, sweeps away the dagger, and blocks the assassin three meters away.

Song Qingtong had come to his senses from the shock, and drew out his sword. The officials and musicians ran for their lives in fright.Leng Junxie hadn't received the news yet, and he was in a vacuum right now, and the situation was extremely unfavorable to Song Qingtong.

At this moment, a very penetrating voice sounded from the forest: "Everyone back down!"

The voice was as ethereal as the Nine Heavens Sanskrit singing, and it was unspeakably sweet. Immediately afterwards, a strong wind blew across the forest, and the leaves fell to the ground, and were swept up several meters from the ground by the strong wind. I saw the leaves circling and accumulating in the mid-air, winding like a dragon galloping towards the center of the altar, and then a person came on the dragon in the posture of a celestial being, with wide robe sleeves bulging like a sail, and a large string of Buddhist beads on his chest It was shining with a green luster, but it was a pity that he couldn't see his face, and there was a delicate silver mask on his face.

Song Qingtong was stunned, imagining in his mind how cool it would be if he could be so arrogant when he was a master of martial arts!

All the assassins put away their weapons, glanced at each other and ran away, Chi Xiao jumped over in a hurry, the horizontal sword blocked Shui Jing and Song Qingtong, Shui Jing watched the person coming from Yufeng vigilantly , I saw this person dressed in white clothes better than snow, with a graceful and noble air.

The visitor had already taken the Buddhist beads from his neck at some point, and at the same time as his feet landed, he swung his hands, and the Buddhist beads whirled like a wheel, and they struck Song Qingtong and the others with the force of thunder, and Chi Xiao Chengying In order to protect Song Qingtong, even if he could dodge it, he dared not dodge it. He waved the weapon in his hand and tried to dodge it, but the Buddha beads were powerful and soft weapons. When he was knocked by the sword, the beads formed a ring and hit the two of them. On their backs, both of them vomited blood from their mouths, their hands resting on the ground, unable to move.

Song Qingtong covered her mouth in fright, what happened to them?Seeing the man in white retracting the prayer beads, he seemed to glance at himself, his eyes fell on Shui Jing, and said with a smile: "I can't think of people outside the square, but also to fall into the muddy waters of the turbid world."

When the voice fell, the Buddha beads shot!

Shui Jing pushed Song Qingtong away, shook off the whisk in his hand, and swept towards the Buddha beads. Seeing that the beads were swept by the whisk, the man in white suddenly retracted his palm, and the beads seemed to have life force. The man in white moved his palm again, and the Buddha beads roared towards the water mirror again, and surrounded the water mirror for a while, only circles of green pearls could be seen.

Song Qingtong's heart was in his throat, his eyes were fixed on the ball of light, and he didn't notice that the man in white was approaching him step by step, when he suddenly heard an anxious call not far away: "Tong'er, be careful!"

Song Qingtong's heart shook. It was Leng Junxie's voice. The man in white was less than one meter away from him. Song Qingtong couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and took two steps back. The objects shone with fluorescent light and fell on him.

At this time, Leng Junxie flew over, and the man in white sprinkled silver needles like raindrops on Leng Junxie. Leng Junxie quickly dodged, and the man in white took advantage of this opportunity to collect the beads, tap his toes on the ground, and flew like a bird. into the dense foliage.

Leng Junxie couldn't care less about chasing after him. He took Song Qingtong's hand and yelled, "How are you? Tonger? How are you?" His voice was trembling.

Song Qingtong shook her head, and looked down at the thing sticking to her body. It was icy and cold in her hand, and it was a snowflake carved from ice.

Shui Jing also came to Song Qingtong's side, his eyes fell on the snowflake in her hand, his complexion changed drastically, and he cried out: "Holy Snow Order!"
