Chapter 9: Listen to slander and sacrifice the Dragon King in advance!
The west entrance of the vegetable market on the second day.
"Oh, Aunt Zhang, did you see it yesterday? The golden light on the other side of Xuanhe is shining, as if there is something!"
The hand that was loading the dishes paused, and there was a little sarcasm on a vicissitudes of yellow face, "That's right! First, we were eating. When we heard the loud noise, my mouth fell from ** in horror! ......”
Before he finished speaking, the busy old man around him was dissatisfied and said, "Don't laugh at me. Something big will happen this time. I can predict it!"
"Cut, if you can predict that we can still suffer with you? Just admit that you are timid!" Aunt Zhang's face doesn't cut off.
"You..." The old man was about to refute, and Aunt Li, who sold vegetables, said mysteriously, "Don't say, it's really a big deal. The elderly people have heard such a legend: the Dragon King was delegated to the world by the Emperor of Heaven to protect the people here because he forgot Shi Yu! ......”
Another curious head inserted, "Yes, my grandmother once told me that our country has never been conquered by other countries, just because of the protection of the Dragon King!"
An aunt couldn't help asking, "Then what do you think happened to the cliff by the Xuanhe River cracked and the river changed?"
"Hi! Isn't this clear? It means that the Dragon King is angry. He thinks we are giving him tributes too late this time, which is reminding us!"
After saying that, everyone was shocked and there was a look of fear on their faces. This time, which girl is going to be unlucky again.
"Look, what I said, you don't believe me!" The old man said to Aunt Zhang, "It's good that there are two kids in their family.
For a while, the whole market was rumored that the Dragon King was angry and needed to sacrifice to the gods.
Above the court in the palace, it is quiet and solemn. In the hall, there are four dense ministers, who just stand with their heads down.
Looking around for a week, the emperor slowly said, "All you, what do you want to report to the court today?"
Everyone in the hall was full of sadness and hesitated to speak.
"Why is Aiqing's face so ugly? Is there something wrong?" The emperor frowned and was very dissatisfied with their performance.
An old minister came out and looked loyal and honest. Well, the emperor, the Xuanhe River has changed yesterday. The cliffs on the side have turned into meteorites. The bottom of the river is shining with golden light, and Ye Ye Ye shines in the sun. I don't know what it is!"
"Oh? How can there be such a thing? The emperor was surprised that the cliff was unreachable and extremely steep. It has always been known as an iron wall. How can it be easily broken?
The ministers nodded. The emperor frowned and looked at the national master standing beside him and asked, "What does the national master think of this matter?"
The national master walked forward with a smile and saluted, "Your Majesty, it seems that it is God's will to sacrifice in Xuanhe in advance!"
The ministers quietly exchanged glances and began to whisper secretly. The emperor frowned, "How do you say this?"
The national teacher smiled in the spring breeze and was in high spirits. "Xuanhe is the main river of our country and represents the lifeline of the country. It has long been spiritual. This abnormal movement is to remind us that Xuanguo will have a hard time!"
Hearing this, all the ministers were shocked, and the emperor was also stunned and almost fell from the dragon chair. "Master, what should I do in your opinion?"
"Oh, it's not difficult to do. It is said that the Xuanhe River is the river where the Dragon King lives. The Dragon King thinks it's too late for us to send sacrifices this time. This time, we need to sacrifice the Dragon King to calm its restlessness! Fortunately, Xuanguo was blessed by the Dragon King to be stable and prosperous. It was just furious and did not leave or cause other disasters, so the sooner we sacrificed to the god, the better, so as not to make any changes!"
Fuck your Dragon King to be angry! Long Xiao was furious and took a step forward. "The difference said by the national master is that this incident is purely a coincidence. Although the cliff is strong, after all, it is a rock body. After a long time of wind, the sun and rain, it is inevitable to weather. In addition, yesterday's thunder fell from the sky, which split the cliff into a meteorite. The golden light in the lake is also because the emperor's house is kind-hearted and restricts crossing the Xuanhe River. Salvage caused the scallop pearls to grow up. Yesterday, the sky changed from overcast to sunny, the sea was turbulent, and all kinds of flashes floated on the river to produce such a dazzling light!"
After saying this, there was indeed some truth, but the emperor was still a little hesitant. When the ministers heard the debate between the two sides, they knew their intentions and stopped arguing. They were all frightened, and the expressions on their faces were extremely rich, clear, suspicious doubts, worried worries...
The national master laughed and said, "Prince Xuan's speculation is also a little reasonable, but your Majesty, are you willing to bet on the lives of the whole country? Your Majesty, please think twice!"
After bowing respectfully, the emperor was terrified. He is the king of a country. Of course, he should be considered for the people of the whole country.
"Your Majesty, the sacrifice of God's life can no longer be done..." Seeing that the emperor bowed his head to make a decision, Long Xiao was eager to say a few more words, but was interrupted by the national teacher, "Prince Xuan, is it better to sacrifice one person or to lose so many lives in the country? Please give the emperor some time to think about it. I believe in the emperor. I will definitely make the right decision!"
The emperor's hand clenched on the dragon chair was wet with sweat. He asked in a low voice, "Aiqing, what do you think?"
Long Xiao's eyes swept to the ministers, expecting someone to stand on the same front with him.
The ministers in the hall sighed, but they did not dare to stand up and resist loudly. They all knew that the national teacher was a cruel role. Moreover, what he said was reasonable and was also for the whole country. For a moment, the ministers had no idea. They bowed their heads to avoid the hot eyes of Prince Xuan. They were trembling and did not dare to speak.
The national master Youyou said, "Your Majesty, the ministers mean to support your decision!"
At this time, he threw the fireball into the emperor's hand and secretly gritted his teeth. The emperor decided, "Then do as the national master said. This sacrifice to the gods is big, and I will give it to the national master!"
"Your Majesty, think twice!" Long Xiao frowned and stopped, but it didn't help. Don't say any more. I've made up my mind. If nothing happens, I'll leave the court!"
With a wave of their hands, the ministers left one after another, saying that God's will was like this, and there was nothing they could do! Long Xiao was even more anxious about this, but the emperor couldn't listen to him at all. These ministers were also full of rats, bold and incompetent.
Long Xiao walked to the Xuanwang Mansion with heavy footsteps.
"The prince is back!" The servant greeted him respectfully, but saw the prince who had always been kind in the past, but today he had an indifferent expression. He ignored him and left. He was full of doubts and didn't know what was wrong with the prince.
"Xiao, what happened? Why is your face so ugly?" Xia Shiming came out of the inner room and looked at his sad face. He was a little surprised. Did something unpleasant happen with the national teacher in the court today?
Long Xiao walked into the study without saying a word. Xia Shiming followed him, looked around, and closed the door.
"What the hell is going on, Xiao, you're going to be so anxious!" Xia Shiming said eagerly.
Long Xiao squeezed his lips and finally said, "The master of the country bewitched the emperor to sacrifice to the river again!"
"How could this happen?" Xia Shiming was shocked. He was very surprised to sacrifice in Xuanhe. Now he still has to use living people for this sacrifice.
"He attributed all the changes of Xuanhe to the anger of the Dragon King. He needed a good life. The emperor was incompetent and incompetent. He listened to his slander!" Long Xiao frowned into a big Sichuan character. This sacrifice was left to the national teacher with full authority. I'm afraid that more than one person died was as simple.
"Ah? Dragon King? Isn't that you?" Xia Shiming's mouth was wide open and his eyes were round, which was too choreographed.
Long Xiao smiled bitterly, "Xuan Junyao, you evil spirit..."
"Sneeze, I wipe it, who is scolding me? Is it you!" In the princess's house, Xuan Junyao, who was lying on the melon seeds, looked at the innocent maid with an unconfirmed question.
"Ah...Princess, what are you talking about?" The maid looked at her blankly.
"Uh... nothing, it's so boring!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the eunuch's call from outside the door.
"The emperor is here!!" This sound made Xuan Junyao depressed. This emperor is the veritable scourge of thousands of girls, who is the most disfigured person, and indeed the most incompetent. There is no way. Who let this person be his father or the emperor of the Xuan Kingdom? If she is disfigured, it will be a disaster to the country and the people, a rebellious person, really It's the pain of not being able to do it!!
"Daughter, hello to your father. Everything is fine. Take your time!" Xuan Junyao, who continues to lie on the corpse, doesn't care about etiquette at all, and doesn't care about what the emperor will think of him at all.
"Hey, you girl, you eat and sleep all day long, and you eat when you sleep. No wonder you look like this. I really feel sorry for your mother. Obviously, you are the first beauty in the world. How can you give birth to a baby daughter..." At this point, the emperor himself can't bear to continue to scold.
"Come on, I'll introduce to you. This is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Falling rain. In the past, because of my health, I have been taking care of my health in my hometown in the south of the Yangtze River. This time, I happened to go to Beijing. I think that you are two years old and should be able to talk about it. By the way, I can I learn from others. How can I lose weight!" It is estimated that he could not stand Xuan Junyao's rude attitude. The beautiful male emperor directly retreated all the eunuch maids and drove back to the palace, leaving two girls looking at each other.
"You are beautiful and have a great figure. Beauty, you won!" The girl was dressed in a veil-like white dress, as if she was in the smoke. It seemed that she was about sixteen or seventeen years old. Except for a black hair, her whole body was snow-white and her face was beautiful and vulgar. It was really enviable.
"Ha ha, you are so cute. How did you get this figure!" The girl seemed to unintentionally satirize Xuan Junyao's figure. It's a pity that a woman didn't understand!
"Cute? Really? You are the first person to praise me. Thank you, but I really don't know how to eat this figure. It's like this as soon as I wake up! I really want to lose weight, but I can't eat enough!" Talking about his troubles in distress, he didn't notice the girl in front of him, and his twitching face.
"Uh, hehe, I heard that you seem to be very close to the Prince Xuan of Xuan Wangfu recently, right?" The girl poked carefully.
"Come on, sit down, why are you so reserved? What's that guy? Humph, sooner or later, it will be my loser. Dare to hide from me and see how long you can hide. Sooner or later, you will be disfigured!"
"disfigured!!!" The girl screamed so much that Xuan Junyao almost fell off the bed.
"Hey, why are you so excited? Don't worry, I will succeed, so that I can save thousands of simple and ignorant little girls like you!" She didn't pay attention to the girl's increasingly gloomy face at all. Xuan Junyao thought that she would be the next savior.
"Are you really a character? It's ridiculous!" The girl's muttering Xuanjunyao didn't hear it.
On the contrary, she enthusiastically invited the girl to tell herself what she had seen and heard, otherwise she would be too depressed all day long.
Although she was reluctant, considering that this was the palace, the person in front of her was the emperor's favorite precious third princess. The girl could only listen, but slowly, she found that Xuan Junyao was a big brainless master, and a plan slowly emerged in her heart.
"Let me tell you a story. There is a legend in our Xuanguo. Classically, it is said that because the Dragon King forgot Shi Yu, he was sent to the world by the Emperor of Heaven to protect the people here. This is also the truth that other countries have never broken the Xuan Kingdom, so everyone will sacrifice to the gods on the Mid-Autumn Festival." Looking at Xuan Junyao, who looked curious about the baby, the woman knew that the plan would definitely succeed!
"Mid-Autumn Festival, isn't that tomorrow? Is this sacrificial god, like the one on TV, killing pigs and slaughtering sheep? Throw it into the river like this?" After listening to this story, Xuan Junyao was so happy that there was a lot of fun to join.
"TV? What is that? Kill pigs and sheep? How can it be that the sacrificial god here has now been changed to throw a pure girl into the river to honor the dragon god to protect peace!" Although she didn't understand what Xuan Junyao said, the girl continued to explain for the success of her conspiracy.
"Farm, is that called sacrificing to God? This is called killing. They don't understand it. It's so abominable that there is no way.
"Oh, what do they know? They really think that if they lose a person, they will keep the world at peace. It is this ignorant practice that will make them angry. Since they are all said to be the Dragon King, it must be for the benefit of the people. How can there be a reason to eat and restrain? Unless it's a monster, stupid and ignorant!" It's all you stupid human beings who make Brother Xiao furious every time, which makes me so angry!
Well said, so science is underdeveloped, nostalgia for superstition and lack of progress is the most fundamental factor that makes Chinese people go downhill. Arrogance, self-deprecating, greedy for money and lust, which one is incomplete? It's so stupid!"
"Princess, what else are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?" Because Xuan Junyao was so excited that she forgot that she had traveled through time and was no longer a new human being in the 21st century.
"Oh, nothing, casually said, by the way, is there no one to supervise this matter? The emperor didn't deal with it either?"
"Well, this supervisor is the current national teacher. This form of sacrifice to the gods is also proposed by him. However, the person who finally issued the consent is indeed the emperor, and the reason why you don't know is that it seems that you are worried that you will be scared, so keep it a secret! After all, the reputation of this sacrificer is not very good!"
"Damn, how can this be? What's your name, beauty? I have made a friend like you. It seems that only you dare to tell me the truth in this palace.
"My name is Luo Yu, but don't forget that the place to worship the gods is Xuanhe in the north of the city. The time is suddenly advanced. It should be positioned at the beginning of reincarnation tomorrow night. Well, I have to go back to my house and visit you later." As long as you are still alive.
Looking at the brainless Xuanjunyao, Luo Yu can only sigh in his heart that her life is not good, who is not good to move, the person who dares to touch her, isn't it looking for death?
"En, well, then take your time. I'll tell you my record tomorrow. The third princess will fight, who will compete!" Hearing this, the rain almost fell down by the thunder when he walked into the entrance. He was really fearless...
