Dafeng's Night Squad - Chapter 98
98 Ancestral worship ceremony (1)
At this time, it was not yet dawn, and the sky was dark.
The cold wind in the early morning was like a knife cutting his face. Xu Qi ‘an breathed in the cold air to cheer himself up.
A dozen meters away, song tingfeng said, “”After the ancestral worship is over, let’s go to the Imperial Academy, okay?”
!!
Hearing this, Zhu guangxiao, who was on the other side, was moved.
The reticent Zhu guangxiao couldn’t take it and angrily rebuked him for being immoral.
After thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more tempted he was.
“We’ll see.” Xu Qi ‘an said.
“You’re not interesting.” Song tingfeng said unhappily.
“I can be a commanding officer.” Xu Qi ‘an said.
no, you have to play together. This way, it will show that we have a deep relationship. Song tingfeng refused.
“He wants you to invite lady floating fragrance as well.” Zhu guangxiao had exposed the dirty thoughts of his good friend of many years.
“Why do you keep looking at the lake?” song tingfeng asked with a frown.
I feel like the lake is very eerie, ” Xu Qi ‘an answered honestly. it makes me uncomfortable.
“Shut up!” Song tingfeng whispered, “you’ve been exposed to the wind. Sang Bo is the Holy Land of Da Feng. It’s the place where the founding Emperor corroborated his Dao. Don’t talk nonsense.
“High-ranked martial artists have sharp eyes and keen ears. If your words are heard, you’ll be punished,” Zhu guangxiao added.
Xu Qi ‘an immediately fell silent.
At this time, the heavy and heavy sound of drums and bells rang out, reverberating in everyone’s ears. A sense of solemness surged.
The night watchmen, who had been chatting casually before, immediately quieted down and revealed serious expressions.
A large group of people left the Imperial City and headed toward sangpo, accompanied by the music dedicated to sacrificial ceremonies.
There were no horses or carriages. Everyone was walking.
There were hundreds of people from the royal family, the Imperial clan, and the civil and military officials in the group.
Almost all of the most powerful people in the DA Feng dynasty were gathered in this team.
The leader, Emperor Yuan jing, was dressed in a simple Daoist robe and his black hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. He was over 50 years old and had a long beard. He was handsome and had the air of an immortal.
On the two sides behind him, there was the graceful and luxurious Empress and the plump Imperial concubines.
Then, it was the princes and princesses ‘turn.
Emperor Yuan jing had many children. He had 12 princes and only four princesses. The eldest Princess was only 25 years old this year, almost ten years younger than the eldest Prince.
This eldest Princess, who was famous for her talent and beauty in the capital, had eyes as clear as a Lake and a plain white face that was cold. He followed the group in silence.
Amidst the music, the group of priests came to a bright yellow tent. The sage-like Emperor Yuan jing led two eunuchs into the Imperial tent.
The rest of the people were waiting outside.
The officials in charge of the worship got busy. Some invited the gods, some lined up, and prepared for the emperor’s subsequent worship of the ancestors.
Xu Qi ‘an didn’t move. He tried his best to turn his head and peek at the scene of the sacrifice from the corner of his eye.
He saw a line of people holding memorial tablets covered with yellow silk, walking along the winding corridor on the water, climbing up the high platform, and placing the memorial tablets on the big table in front of the temple.
After this group returned, another group, under the guidance of the officials of Taichang temple, came to bring the offerings. There were many kinds of offerings, at least two or three hundred of them.
When everything was ready, the chief of Taichang temple stood outside the Imperial tent and said loudly, ” God an is done. We welcome Your Majesty.
The princes and princesses, the civil and military officials, all knelt down at the same time.
The head eunuch lifted the curtain and Emperor Yuan jing, who had changed into a bright yellow Imperial robe, appeared in front of everyone with a solemn expression.
At this moment, he no longer had the faint immortal Qi of a Daoist master, only the majesty of a human Emperor.
this atmosphere feels even more solemn than the highest level meeting in my previous life … This trip was not in vain, not in vain …” Xu Qi ‘an was enjoying himself when his heart suddenly palpitated. He knew that someone had spoken in The Earth Book chat group.
He waited for a moment for the patrol team to pass. He put his hand into his pocket, but he didn’t take out all of the Jade Mirror. He half-revealed and half-hid it and took a look.
[ 2: I remember that today is the day of worship for the royal family. The 1st and 3rd, right? ]
[ 4. Looking at the time, today is indeed the ancestor worship ceremony. Back then, I also participated in the royal family’s ancestral worship. ]
[ 2: back then? [ heh, number four, you were also an official back then, and your position wasn’t low? ]
[ 4: okay. ]
Number four was an official before … Xu Qi ‘an was stunned. Didn’t number four have a good relationship with the female state preceptor of the human sect?
Well, this also explains it. Because he was an official before, he knew the female state preceptor.
It seemed that number four was also a person with a story.
Xu Qi ‘an found it very interesting. The owners of the fragments of the Book of the Netherworld were not ordinary people. Their identities were mysterious and their cultivation was strong.
Interacting with them was like playing a game, unveiling their mystery layer by layer.
[ two: interesting. No. 1 didn’t reply. No. 3 didn’t reply either. ]
What the hell, this little Yin coin … Xu Qi ‘an’s mouth twitched when he was tricked.
It was obvious that No. 2 was not really concerned about the royal family’s ancestral worship, but was testing the waters.
To test the identity of number three and number one.
With the connection between The Earth Book and its owner, even if he fell asleep, he would be woken up, so there was no possibility of him missing it because of rest.
Unless there was an emergency, he would not be able to reply.
However, it was impossible for No. 1 and No. 3 to be in an emergency at the same time. If that was the case, it meant that both of them were participating in the sacrificial ceremony and could not take out the book of the nether world fragments to reply in front of everyone.
At this time, Xu Qi ‘an’s actions attracted song tingfeng’s attention.
He released his hand without a sound, and the half-exposed Jade Mirror slid back into his pocket.
“Be serious, don’t do anything unnecessary.” Song tingfeng frowned and warned.
“I know, I know,” Xu Qi ‘an replied perfunctorily.
This isn’t good. I’m a disciple of the Yun Lu Academy, so there’s no reason or qualification for me to participate in the royal family’s ancestral worship … His identity had been exposed … Damn it, this bunch of guys from the Heaven and Earth Society are all scheming people.
However, number one did not reply … Ha, he (she) was also present. Who could it be?
As Xu Qi ‘an’s thoughts were running wild, the members of the Heaven and Earth Society and the wielder of the book of the nether world fragments were also thinking about the same problem.
Wasn’t number three a disciple of the cloud deer Institute? everyone knew that the cloud deer Institute had almost lost its official career, and even if it had one, it didn’t have the qualifications to participate in the imperial family’s ancestral worship.
Furthermore, judging from number three’s image all this while, he was a student of Yun Lu Academy, so it was even more impossible for him to participate in the ancestor worship.
Could it be that number 3 wasn’t a disciple of the Yunlu Institute?
No, if that’s the case, how do you explain what happened before?
Unless he used another identity to participate in the royal family’s ancestral worship. That’s right, was he someone the Yun Lu Academy had planted in the various departments of the Imperial court?
What kind of Yamen would that be? what kind of status would that be?
On the other hand, they were not surprised by number one’s identity, because they had long known that number one was from the Imperial court and had a high status.
[ 2:4, you’ve been an official before. Analyze it. [ number 3 is the situation. ]
[ 4: I do have a guess in my heart, but why should I tell you? ]
[ 6: No. 2, you’re not in Beijing. So what if you know the identities of No. 3 and No. 1? ]
Number four and number six were both speaking up for number three.
Xu Qi ‘an held back her palpitations and did not check the message.
After watching the ancestral worship ceremony for a while, a strange feeling once again welled up in Xu Qian’s heart.
He always felt that sang Bo was gloomy and had an inexplicable sense of danger.
Suddenly, Xu Qi ‘an heard a strange sound in the Song of Sacrifice.
The voice was saying, ”
“Save me, save me …”
“You mean the Song of Sacrifice? It was indeed a little … It’s a little deafening.” Song tingfeng changed his words with a strong desire to live.
Xu Qi ‘an was stunned. He listened carefully, but the voice had disappeared.
“Tingfeng, guangxiao, did you hear a strange sound?” Xu Qi ‘an asked his two colleagues who were not far away.
“You mean the Song of Sacrifice? It was indeed a little … It’s a little deafening.” Song tingfeng changed his words with a strong desire to live. He wanted to say that it was very unpleasant.
Zhu guangxiao shook his head.
Xu Qi ‘an was about to say something when the strange voice came again. This time, he heard it clearly. It came from the sangpo Lake.
“Save me, save me …”
The voice was mournful and depressed, extremely horrifying, like a ghost whispering in one’s ear.
