The vicious stepmother doesn't clean up her innocence, she slaps her face professionally and ra

The man in front is sitting high on a horse, as if he is the supreme monarch.

But...it will be soon.

Xiao Jin twitched the corners of his mouth with a sneer and let out a weak cough.

The eunuch beside him was the first to notice and immediately handed him a glass of warm water: "Your Majesty, don't get cold."

Xiao Jin glanced at the windy and beautiful scenery outside, and smiled: "How can you catch the cold in such a beautiful weather?"

The eunuch lowered his head and stopped talking, but he had been with Xiao Jin for many years, so he naturally understood what the emperor was thinking.

So he said in a voice that only two people could hear: "What I'm saying is, Your Highness, don't be discouraged. The road ahead will be bright, there will always be..."

"okay."

Before the eunuch could finish speaking, Xiao Jin interrupted him and began to close his eyes: "I'm tired. Wake me up when you get there."

After saying that, he leaned back and fell asleep in the car.

The team walked slowly and without bumps, just like a good cradle. After a while, Xiao Jin fell asleep.

At the same time, Tiantai Temple was ready and everyone came out to greet them.

They had been standing there for two hours. Gu Yiyi was inconspicuous among a group of helpers.

In addition, she had already disguised herself with Changfeng, so it would be impossible to tell that she was Gu Yiyi unless she got closer and looked at her carefully.

It seemed like his appearance had completely changed. Especially when wearing temple clothes and a tattered hat, the person's temperament is suddenly submerged under the fake skin, blending into the crowd, making him completely invisible.

Due to standing for too long, Gu Yiyi felt that her legs were weak and gradually became weak.

It was obviously going to be a while on the road, so why did they get kicked out so early?

What if people really come, but they can’t hold on until then, and their legs hurt and they fall down?

Gu Yiyi complained in her heart, but she could only endure it.

If you don't make a sound for the time being, no one will find you.

But patience has its limit. Just when she couldn't bear it anymore and was about to collapse, a voice suddenly came from outside.

The team has arrived.

Thinking of this, everyone became more energetic, and all those lazy tricks were put away, and no one dared to move.

They lowered their heads one after another and saw a large group of carriages and horses slowly arriving at the entrance of the temple and crossing the stone gate of the temple little by little.

And when the car showed up, Gu Yiyi's eyes were fixed on Xie Anze who was sitting in the car.

I haven't seen that familiar face for a long time.

I think the last time we met was when we were trying to stop him from leaving Pingshan Town.

As soon as he saw this face, the anger in Gu Yiyi's heart was like a flood that burst a dam, pouring in continuously.

However, she could do nothing at this moment. She could only hold her hands tightly and forcefully endure those emotions.

Unknowingly, the long nails dived deeply into the palm of the hand.

It looked very scary.

Her cheeks were tense, but she didn't dare to look up for too long. After a moment, she immediately glanced at the emperor in the car. His face was looming under the curtain, and he couldn't see it clearly.

But she knew that the emperor was very young and seemed to be about the same age as Xiao Yan. Maybe a few years older.

She also wanted to find where Xiao Yan was, but she didn't have time to look further.

After scanning the car, she felt the gazes of the eunuchs in the team. She immediately lowered her head and withdrew her gaze.

She waited until the mighty team left her sight and completely entered the temple before she relaxed like everyone else.

But while others breathed a sigh of relief, she held her breath.

As the next cleaning task came, she found Changfeng, and the two quickly exchanged glances. During the only time they had together, Gu Yiyi asked one more question.

"Are there any of his dead soldiers nearby? Did they come with him?"

Changfeng nodded and said comfortingly: "It's okay, just wait patiently for the night and just follow the plan."

Gu Yiyi nodded, seeing that he was so relaxed, she must have made arrangements inside and outside.

The sacrificial ceremony is scheduled for the evening, today is the fifteenth day, which is also the time of the full moon.

At this moment, the temple is brightly lit with candles, and even the usually remote roads are lit by candles.

The temple square used for the ceremony is very wide, with a huge bronze cauldron in the center.

I think Gu Yiyi was shocked when she came here for the first time.

Before she was reborn, she went to the museum to visit a so-called largest and earliest bronze furnace, but that one was obviously much smaller than the one she saw now.

This bronze cauldron requires more than thirty people to hold it in a circle.

A sacrificial platform was built under the cauldron, which was specially used for wizards to perform rituals. There was also a main seat under the sacrificial platform, which was where the emperor sat when praying.

In Tianqi Kingdom, there is a lot of rain, and they also believe in the rain god.

It is said that on the night of the sacrificial ceremony, dark clouds will cover the moon in the second half of the night, and then it will rain heavily.

The rain is spreading, and the weather will be smooth and the harvest will be great.

It's strange to say that maybe it's the special terrain and climate here that cause the same weather to occur every year at this time.

People in this era always like to think too much and will put their faith in this.

Gu Yiyi was curious, hadn't there been any rainy ceremonies in recent years?

She had never asked this before and had no way of knowing.

The top priority was to carry out the scene step by step.

To be honest, this was the first time Gu Yiyi had seen such a grand scene of ancient sacrifices.

When it really started, the sacred and admiring scene of everyone gathered together was far more shocking than she imagined.

In the past, it was all on TV, or I would make up my mind in books.

Now that I am truly immersed in it, and everyone around me regards this matter as an extremely important belief, the respect, desire, and hope it brings from them cannot be deceived at all.

This made Gu Yiyi couldn't help but start to be solemn and respectful like them.

The wizard standing in the center was reciting scriptures that he could not understand. As the flames of the furnace gradually rose, he seemed to be igniting a fire in his heart.

Especially when everyone was chanting in unison, the full moon was shining high, the flames of the furnace burned to the highest point, and the emperor also stood up.

He personally climbed up the stairs, lit the incense candle in his hand little by little, and then personally handed it to the minister, who then passed it to the back.

This happens one after another until everyone has a scented candle in their hand.

Even Gu Yiyi, who was hiding in the crowd, got one.

When the dark clouds covered the moon, everyone suddenly raised their incense candles!

Gu Yiyi immediately followed the instructions. At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew, everyone's robes were blown up, and the flames of incense and candles were like sparks, suddenly becoming brighter.

At this moment, the moon is hidden in the dark clouds. When the world becomes dark, the fire of the furnace and the fire of the incense candles in your hands become the things that illuminate the world.

The serious faces were illuminated by the flickering candlelight.
