Women's clothing because of lack of money [Comprehensive]

Hearing this answer, Bai Shu was slightly stunned. According to the emperor's intention, did he want all the maidens in the Yizheng Hall to go to the altar?

This answer has already deviated from the pre-dream, so will the ending be different?

The faces of the surrounding witches were obviously happy, and it was an honor for them to be able to participate in the covenant of the envoys.Even if His Majesty the Emperor didn't choose the chief miko this time, they would still be on the altar following the ancient sacrificial method.

After the discussion, the emperor left the Yizheng Hall first, and gradually the courtiers left the Yizheng Hall, and some people approached the witches. Most of them were related to the fifteen witches.

"Zhiji, congratulations." The Patriarch of the Ping family walked over with a smile on his face, and expressed his congratulations to Ping Zhiji.

Ping Zhiji, who was always calm and reserved, also showed a bright smile at this moment, "Thank you, Father."

The other courtiers were also told by the miko in the family, and Baishu and the others were from the area, and they knew very few people in Kyoto. The only acquaintance, Abe Wenzo, was not among the courtiers.Fortunately, this situation does not last long.

A maid in palace attire walked in from outside the hall, and said respectfully, "Master candidates, please follow me, and I will guide you all."

Contrary to the order when they came in, Bai Shu was the last one, watching the sunlight cast from outside the hall elongate the shadows of the priestesses, orderly as if with a sense of ritual.

When approaching the door, a slender figure stood there abruptly.The head of the young Fujiwara family had a stern face. When standing sideways, half of his face was against the light, and he looked a little cloudy and uncertain.

Walking in front of Bai Shu, Fujiwara Nana couldn't help but stop when she saw the figure she was familiar with, and said hello with half hesitation, "Brother... my lord..."

Fujiwara Nana didn't understand what her brother meant, just now when the chief maiden was selected, Fujiwara Sangki voted his vote for Ping Zhi Ji.If it hadn't been for the emperor's final decision to adopt the ancient system, then he might lose the election.

"Nana." Fujiwara Sangki slowed down his tone as much as possible, "Take care of yourself..." For a long time, he thought that his younger sister would be the most suitable to wear the dress of a grand ceremony priestess, but when he actually saw it, he felt that these bright The colors are extremely eye-catching.

"..." Fujiwara Nai's expression was stunned. Since she entered the Kyoto Shrine and Fujiwara Sangki took over the position of Patriarch, there was very little communication between the siblings, and she was increasingly unable to understand her brother's actions.For example, using radical methods to achieve the goal, wanting to place more people in the shrine... She and her brother's ideas do not agree, but this does not mean that she does not want to bring glory and prosperity to the family.

"I will do my best to participate in the ancient festival, brother, don't worry." Even if she is not the chief priestess in the end, she will make the Fujiwara family's reputation further in the ceremony.

The sun shone on the face of the miko, lighting up those beautiful eyes, and Fujiwara Sangki was speechless for a moment with the look of anticipation. He parted his lips, finally nodded and said softly, "Okay."

Bai Shu took this scene into his eyes, and it seemed that Fujiwara Sangki was a little worried about Fujiwara Nai, why?

When he was wondering, Fujiwara Sangki turned around and was about to leave. There was still forbearance and concern in that expression. What was going on in it?

Fujiwara Sangki and Fujiwara Nana ended their reminiscences, and the witches walked inside the palace under the guidance of the court maids.

The cherry blossom season has not yet passed, layers of petals are scattered on the road, and the palace people in charge of sweeping sweep the fallen flowers to both sides of the road. When Bai Shu and the others approach, it is the palace people who respectfully salute and say hello.

"Has everything been arranged in the altar? I've brought the witches over here." The maid leading the way asked aloud.

"The rooms around the altar for the priestesses to rest have been properly arranged. Master Yuan Jiangtian is checking the barrier, and it should be completed soon." The palace man replied.

"Okay." The maid who led the way nodded, and continued to lead Bai Shu and others inside.

After walking through that avenue, the appearance of the altar was revealed in front of everyone. On the long stairs, the statues of the gods had been placed up. as mysterious.

The picture in the dream came to mind, Bai Shu frowned unconsciously.On the ear side, the maid in charge of leading the way explained to them, "This is the altar used for the celebration. At that time, all the witches and adults will perform ancient sacrificial rituals on the altar."

"It's really a magnificent altar." Hua Ying whispered with emotion.

The maid heard Huaying's words and explained along the words, "The altar is newly built, and the old altar is no longer suitable, so the emperor ordered a new altar to be built."

—— "And the person responsible for the construction and supervision of the altar is Genji's best onmyoji, Mr. Yuan Jiangtian."

Just as the maid said these words, a group of well-dressed onmyojis and warriors came down the steps of the altar. The leader was serious and his dark eyes were calm.

Seeing Yuan Jiangtian again, and recalling what the maid said before, Bai Shu suddenly understood what he always felt was inconsistent.

The altar was built by the Yuan family.

Regarding the rumors about the secrets of the Yuan family, he remembered that the Yuan family had made deals with evil gods and offered sacrifices to witches.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer shrine maidens in the main family of the Minamoto family, and they even have to plunder girls with spiritual talents from the branch family to accompany them to become shrine maidens.

In the previous pre-dream, the golden pupil that appeared on the altar may be the legendary evil god.

"Lord Bai Shu?" Seeing Bai Shu standing there and distracted, the maid leading the way couldn't help calling him softly.

Waking up from his thoughts, Bai Shu tried his best to control his facial expressions, "It's nothing."

"Then please continue to come with me, Miko-sama, and I will take Miko-sama to the resting place."

The witch's team met the Yuanjia Onmyoji team, and Bai Shu, who was walking at the end, focused on Yuan Jiangtian.

Just as the two passed by, Bai Shu suddenly noticed a familiar aura.

It emanated from the saber on Yuan Jiangtian's waist, carrying a faint aura of jade from the four souls.

Bai Shu was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head to look in the direction of Kikyo, and found that she didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and was walking calmly.So, why did he sense the breath of the jade of the four souls?

One piece of the jade of the original four souls was taken away by Sesshomaru, one piece fell into the hands of Yuan Jiangtian, and the other piece was still in the hands of Kikyo, but just in case, Kikyo sealed the remaining jade of the four souls in Inari God In the shrine, I didn't carry it with me.

The whereabouts of the remaining piece of Jade of Four Souls was unknown, Bai Shu frowned, recalling the scene at that time, the few people closest to the Jade of Four Souls, except for the three of them, were also present.

Will the Jade of the Four Souls be on him?Bai Shu thought about it, but why didn't he know it himself?

After leaving the solemn and luxurious court, Fujiwara Sangki returned to Fujiwara's home soon.

The main building of the Fujiwara family is more low-key and luxurious. Under the huge barrier, the entire Fujiwara family reveals a different atmosphere from the outside world.A row of well-dressed warriors and onmyojis stood in the hall, with the golden Fujiwara family crest embroidered on the hem of their clothes.

The urgency of Mori's solemn killing lingered, and the setting sun outside the house fell, shining on Fujiwara Sangki's feet.

"Patriarch, all the warriors and onmyojis of the Fujiwara family have arrived."

"Leave one-fifth of the people to guard Fujiwara's main house, and then divide half of the people to the altar to protect the second lady, and the rest, go to the altar of the Yuan family with me." Fujiwara Sangki raised his eyes and ordered like this .

"Master Patriarch, your actions now will make His Majesty the Emperor suspicious of our Fujiwara family. Moreover, it is of no benefit to our Fujiwara family to tear up the face with the Yuan family." An elderly clansman stood up and calmly persuaded .

"Since I became the head of the Fujiwara family, everything I have done is for the glory and interests of the Fujiwara family." Fujiwara Sangki said in a low voice, "Because I know that only when the Fujiwara family is strong can we protect everyone. tribe."

"So Nana was sent to the shrine in Kyoto by me. I wanted her to be the chief maiden of this covenant with the God Envoy, so as to deepen the prestige of the Fujiwara family in the eyes of the people. And she is indeed about to ascend to the shrine as a candidate maiden." altar."

"Connected to the altar is the altar of Genji. They are delusional to sacrifice the candidate maiden as a sacrifice. The evil god will protect the Genji."

"I can't let Nana go to die. She is my sister of Fujiwara Sangki and a member of the Fujiwara family."

"Until there is not enough evidence, we will not be able to reveal the crimes of the Gen family to the Emperor. They may not activate the formation, and the Fujiwara family will definitely be criticized for slander."

"The best way is to break into the Yuan family when the ceremony is about to start and find their altar. Prevent all crimes from happening, and at the same time, expose the Yuan family's conspiracy to the public."

The old man thought for a while, and asked half hesitantly, "Then what if we can't find the altar of the Yuan family?"

"It's impossible not to find it." Fujiwara Sangmu replied with a sneer.

"The ceremony is scheduled to be held at sunrise tomorrow, mistresses, please rest well."

After the maid said this, she left.

The resting place is exquisitely and luxuriously arranged, but because of the number of people, everyone is in a large courtyard, each with its own room.

"If there is nothing else, then I'll go to rest first." Ping Zhiji said flatly, planning to go to her own room to recharge her energy and prepare for tomorrow's ceremony in the best condition.

"I think it's better for everyone to be vigilant."

A clear voice sounded from behind Ping Zhiji, she frowned slightly, and subconsciously retorted, "This is the palace, the place closest to the altar, how could there be hidden dangers?"

When Ping Zhiji turned around, she couldn't help being taken aback when she saw Bai Shu's face.The person who said this turned out to be the great priestess of the Inari Shrine?

The suspicious gazes of other witches also fell on Bai Shu, hoping to get an explanation from him.

Looking at those unbelievable gazes, Bai Shu swallowed back what he might have guessed, and replied, "This is my personal hunch, it's always right to be more careful."

Although he wanted these witches to know the truth, he didn't have enough evidence to prove the Yuan family's conspiracy.Only by clarifying the source family and the altar before sunrise tomorrow can we really stop this matter.
