Nongmen Shenjue

Chapter 243 Annual Sacrifice

It was already Chen Shi, and the town was very lively.

Mu Qingyan came out of the inn and passed by the Caiyi Bureau, the business there was as good as ever.He didn't go in, Jiao Li followed behind, and the two climbed up the steps one after the other, heading towards the top of the mountain.His goal is not the Fairy Temple, but Feixiantai.

He still wanted to try it.

He had told Jiao Li in advance that if he saw that his expression was not right, he would take him back to the inn.However, he only planned to go back for 3 minutes, and even gave up going back from the Fairy Temple, and set directly at Feixiantai.This attempt is also intended to verify whether the ability has made progress. It has been a year since the last time the case was traced back ten years ago. Even if there is a slight breakthrough, for example, the traced picture is clearer, or the sound is clearer. And so on, it's a big gain.

There were many tourists coming and going from Feixiantai, but the old lady was not there that day, and a seven or eight-year-old girl was selling marriage cards and blessing cards.These signs are all carved from wood, and they are said to have been enshrined in front of fairy statues, and they are very popular.

Mu Qingyan looked around, the Feixian Terrace was a part suspended in the sky, and it was on the top of the mountain. Standing here, it seemed as if one could chase clouds in the sky.There are some rocks nearby, not many, and gradually trees grow, no different from other mountains and forests.

Mu Qingyan walked to a tree and stood against it——

It was the sixth day of July, early in the summer, the eastern sky had just appeared bright white, and the air at the top of the mountain was still cool.On the rocks next to Feixiantai, a woman in white was sitting motionless, she was meditating on something, and she did not know how long she had been doing it, until a ray of golden morning light shone on her face, and then she suddenly came back to her senses.

This person is Sun Yuzhu!

Sun Yuzhu was dressed in a standard fairy girl's attire, her appearance was only delicate and her temperament was gentle, but at this time her complexion was very pale and her lips were a little discolored.

Sun Yuzhu walked to Feixiantai step by step, backed away hesitantly several times, and stepped on the edge of danger again.

She gently caressed her lower abdomen with her hands, and then closed them tightly. She looked up at the sky where the sun was rising, and two lines of tears fell silently.She didn't stand at Feixiantai for a long time, she didn't say a word, and there was no big emotional change on her face, as if the moment when the rising sun finally broke through the clouds, the whole body was bathed in golden morning light, but she seemed to have got the signal, right foot up...

At the same time, a fairy girl in white rushed out from the forest, looked at the empty Feixiantai with horror on her face, then turned her head and fled quickly.

Mu Qingyan interrupted his backtracking, and listened to various sounds in his ears, but at this moment he felt that it was very noisy.

Jiao Li has been paying attention, seeing his face turn pale for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Master?"

Mu Qingyan felt a little dizzy, leaned against the tree trunk without moving, and said after a while: "It doesn't matter."

This backtracking time is indeed very short, but the picture is relatively clear, and the lack of sound does not affect it.

From Sun Yuzhu's backtracking before his death, we found two points. One is that Sun Yuzhu caressed his lower abdomen, which seemed to be pregnant, and the other was that there were witnesses when he died.Neither of these are known to the outside world.Witnesses don't mention it for the time being, but the fact that she is pregnant may be the reason why the Sun family stopped making trouble. If the Tang family tells about this, the reputation of Sun Yuzhu and the Sun family can be imagined.

Pregnant before marriage was a big taboo for women in ancient times, and if they were not careful, they would lose their lives.

Furthermore, Mu Qingyan was analyzing that the Tang family had a better marriage partner, and instead of renouncing the marriage directly with the Sun family at the beginning, and asking Sun Yuzhu to be a concubine, was it because Sun Yuzhu was pregnant?Or was she not pregnant at that time, but she was just broken?After all, when things were revealed, the woman would not be in good hands, the Tang family's reputation would not be good, especially for Tang Youjun, and the Fairy Temple would also be criticized.If it gets more serious, if the Lou family catches him, how can he not make things worse?

Even so, Sun Yuzhu doesn't have to commit suicide just because she has withdrawn from her marriage and became pregnant.

Pregnancy is a double-edged sword, both harmful and beneficial to Sun Yuzhu, no matter how soft-tempered she is, she will fight for it in this situation.What's more, it is often said that "a mother is strong", there is still a fetus in the womb, Sun Yuzhu dares to conceive before marriage, can she not care about the child?What kind of situation made her resolutely take the fetus to die?

What role did Tang Youjun play in it?

Also, that witness...

His drawing skills are not satisfactory, if he wants to dictate to make Wen Jixue recover...

Rubbing his temples, he asked Jiao Li to help him go down the mountain.

Let's get our spirit back first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lifted his foot, he felt his legs were weak and shaking slightly, and he only felt that his eyes were dark.

"My lord, wait a moment." Seeing this, Jiao Li hurriedly went to the gate of the temple to call for a shoulder.

His situation this time is much better than before.

After backtracking in Huangjia Village last time, I vomited blood and passed out, and I stayed for a few more days.This time, although he was mentally exhausted, he reckoned that it would be enough to go back and lie in bed for a day, and he had good jade to help him recover.The consequence is nothing more than that it is not suitable to use the ability in the past few days, which is really not a big problem.

However, he was unlucky, just after arriving at the foot of the mountain, he ran into Wen Jixue.

Worse!

Wen Jixue seemed to be planning to go up the mountain, but when he saw his pale face and weakness, he didn't know what was going on.His eyes glanced over his face a few times, but he didn't make a sound.

Mu Qingyan smiled guiltyly, but didn't dare to say anything.

Back at the inn, Wen Jixue helped him lie down on the bed, and carefully tucked in the quilt: "Sleep to nourish your spirit."

The tone was very gentle, but Mu Qingyan still felt that the other party planned to settle accounts after the fall.

"I'm fine, much better than last time." Struggling in vain, seeing that the smile on the corner of the other party's mouth did not change, he had to give up resistance.

I slept until mid-afternoon, although I was still a little tired, but I couldn't fall asleep.

"Eat." After washing up, Wen Jixue didn't turn over the old score, and only prepared meals on the table.

Mu Qingyan looked at him suspiciously, feeling that it was not right that he didn't mention a word.

After thinking about it, it's a good thing not to mention it.

He also pretended that he didn't do the morning thing, had dinner, and asked him, "Why did you come back so quickly in the morning?"

"Good luck. The Tang family happened to be discussing matters in the ancestral hall this morning, and what they were talking about was the centenary sacrifice of the Fairy Temple."

"Hundred years of worship?" Mu Qingyan frowned without counting: "The Fairy Temple was built in Tianfu five years ago, and it was full of calculations. It has been less than 80 years now, how can it be possible to worship for a hundred years?"

"I was surprised when I first heard it, but at that time the ancestral hall was full of people from all houses of the Tang family, and no one showed any doubts." Xian Town is full of grand temple fairs every day, and it will be even more grand this year. Today is the seventh day of June, and there is exactly one month before Qixi Festival, but the Tang family has obviously started preparing for it. I heard them read a few names, It's a married fairy girl who is determined to come back to participate in the grand event. Also, the Tang family is selecting people in each house to worship their ancestors, and Tang Youjun is on the list."

Mu Qingyan's intuition was wrong: "Ancestor worship? The ancestor worship is at the end of the year, and it's only June now. Why do you mention ancestor worship?"

Wen Jixue also laughed: "What's even more strange is that it was still talking about the hundred-year sacrifice in the Fairy Temple, and then it was talking about the candidates for the ancestor worship. It feels like the two are related. I suspect that the ancestor worship may be a cover. Tang Youjun and others People, there are other things that need to be done away from people's eyes and ears."

There was a guess that kept popping up in Mu Qingyan's mind, but he didn't say it easily. Seeing that the Tang family was acting more and more weirdly, and the Fairy Temple's secrets were getting more and more secrets, he couldn't help but said, "You said that this Fairy Temple will Won’t it be related to the former royal family?”

Wen Jixue also guessed.

"Who knows, even if there is a relationship, what can be done? The royal family of the previous dynasty was almost wiped out. This dynasty has been in existence for five or sixty years. The world is peaceful, the border is stable, a small town of Feixian..." Wen Jixue The implication is very clear, even if there is a problem with the Fairy Temple, the foundation of this dynasty has been established early, and it is simply not something that can be shaken by a few people from the previous dynasty.

Furthermore, looking at the situation of Tang and Lou, it is impossible to see the appearance of a "loyal minister of the former dynasty".

Wen Jixue said again: "The origins of the Tang and Lou families are also a bit strange. I asked Gao Tian to pass the news to the people below to find out about the situation of the two ancestral homes."

If there is any connection with the previous dynasty, the two families will inevitably hide their identities, either the surname is false, or the place of ancestral home is false.

"Don't tell me you have to wait until Qixi Festival?" Mu Qingyan didn't believe it.

Wen Jixue shook her head: "No, I'm going to visit Lou's house at night."

If the Tang family made a move, the Lou family would definitely not be peaceful.

Wen Jixue suddenly asked back: "What did you find out?"

Mu Qingyan casually said the harvest.

Wen Jixue heard him explain in detail, and quickly paid attention to the key point: "Can you see the picture clearly?"

"...Hmm." Mu Qingyan realized that he was careless, and saw that his expression was as calm as usual, and he was also calm.

Wen Jixue laughed and asked, "Are you still dizzy?"

"It's much better." Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, he added: "I think it's the mental method you gave that has worked out. This time, the retracing time is very short. After two hours of rest, it has eased up a lot. Look at me Isn't your spirit still up?"

Wen Jixue looked at the person carefully again and again with a straight face, and nodded: "It's better than last time, but the complexion is still a little bad. Anyway, the case is not urgent, you can take a rest."

"...Okay." Mu Qingyan thought it was better not to object.

At first I couldn't fall asleep while lying down, so I used jade to help restore my spirit. The coolness lingered in my mind, and my spirit was comfortable, fluttering, and I fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up, the lights in the house were already on.

Wen Jixue stood by the window, looking at the night sky outside with thoughts.

"What time is it?" Mu Qingyan sat up and put on his clothes, feeling a little sore from lying down for too long.And it's getting dark, how can you sleep at night after sleeping all day?

"It's half past midnight. I'll go out to eat later, and take a walk." Wen Jixue called out, and soon someone brought hot water in for washing.

After packing up, the two left the inn.

Mu Qingyan wanted to eat rice and stir-fried vegetables, so he chose a restaurant nearby. After entering, he found that the restaurant's business was very good, and the lobby was already full.I glanced at it casually, and found that there were two groups of people inside, and they all had foreign accents, some from the south and some from the capital.

"Let's go upstairs." Wen Jixue winked at him, and the four of them went upstairs.
