MTL - Delicate Beauty Becomes the Beloved of Four Brothers After Her Rebirth!-Chapter 340 The Snake Rebellion
The sacrificial ceremony arrived as scheduled.
Bai Xianyu put on a custom-made robe early in the morning, because Chi Lian was the first national teacher in the history of Da Kui, so this grand ceremony also attracted many people from different regions.
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are dense crowds of people. Most of the people at the foot of the mountain are people who come to watch.
The further up the mountain, the stricter the security. The uniform Imperial Forest Army was neat and orderly, lined up in two rows, and defended all the way to the altar on the top of the mountain.
The muffled thunder not far away rumbled from time to time, and the solemn atmosphere in Lindi became more and more breathless.
All the princes and nobles in Dakui who can participate in the sacrificial ceremony this time.
Most of them are people related to the royal family by marriage or royal blood.
Emperor Wu Xuan had arrived at Daxiangguo Temple the day before, and only showed up after fasting and bathing according to the rules.
Facing such a big battle, Bai Xianyu didn't panic at all.
She had made preparations long before entering the capital, and in the previous life, she and Xie Xingyun also participated in many sacrifices, so it was not difficult for her to take pictures of cats and tigers.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Finally came the most important part—divination.
Not only the people in the audience, but even Emperor Wu Xuan held his breath at this time, not daring to make any noise, for fear of disturbing the heavenly hearing.
Xie Xingyun followed Bai Xianyu that night and witnessed everything she did. It is not difficult to infer that what she was waiting for was today.
If nothing else, this divination will be a storm.
Bai Xianyu lowered his voice, and chanted: "The emperor goes to heaven, shines down on the earth, gathers the spirit of the earth, rains down the sweetness and wind, each gets his own place, common people live in groups, each gets his own place, and the present and the past..."
"...the **** of the sky, the wind and rain, and the flowers and plants, all things are lush, and they are peaceful and peaceful. The gods of mountains and rivers, hope that I will live forever."
As his words fell to the ground, everyone watched nervously as the turtle shell landed in the hands of the young national teacher.
However, at this moment, the rain that had been endured for a long time finally fell.
Emperor Wu Xuan's heart beat wildly for some reason, as if something unexpected was about to happen.
"My God! Look, what is this! A dragon appeared on the ground! It's a big auspicious omen!"
"Oracle! This is an oracle!"
"The national teacher is really a god!"
"I, Da Kui, will surely be famous forever! Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"..."
Everyone almost wept with joy.
Emperor Wu Xuan noticed that the national teacher seemed to have a strange expression, "Why didn't the national teacher speak? Shouldn't you be happy that there was such an auspicious sign on the day of the sacrifice?"
Xie Xingyun slightly hooked the corners of his lips.
She became more courageous.
Bai Xianyu tried her best to put on a worried look, she stepped forward to pick up the turtle shell, inspected it carefully, and walked to the auspicious omen they said, her complexion suddenly changed!
Even his voice trembled.
"Your Majesty..."
Seeing him like this, Emperor Wu Xuan drooped the corners of his mouth that had not yet raised, "What's wrong?"
The people who were beaming and congratulating each other just now stared at Bai Xianyu without blinking, and everyone had a premonition in their hearts that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, please come and take a closer look. The rain is a bit heavy, and the adults in the audience can't see clearly..."
It was said that everyone under the altar stretched their necks to find out, but the altar was a few feet higher than the ground, and the place where the pattern appeared was far away from them, so they could only see an outline.
Emperor Wu Xuan frowned and walked to Bai Xianyu's place step by step.
Just as he saw clearly what the thing on the ground was, the voice of Bai Xianyu also sounded, "Please look, Your Majesty. The pattern on the ground is not a dragon, but... a snake."
The snake is very similar to the legendary dragon in length, the only difference is that the head of the snake is disproportionately large, and the right claw has only three fingers.
Bai Xianyu's voice was deliberately lowered, so the only person who could hear him was Emperor Wu Xuan.
Before Emperor Wu Xuan could speak, the pattern in front of him slowly faded away.
"This is not a sign of auspiciousness." Bai Xianyu said: "It has always been turbulent for snakes to appear in the sacrifices. Your Majesty must be cautious in his actions in the future, and don't let the prophecy come true."
Emperor Wu Xuan was silent for a long time, narrowed his eyes and said: "The national teacher knows everything from ancient to modern times, and has the ability to predict the future. Now I have a big change, I wonder if there is a way to resolve it?"
All Bai Xianyu did was to wait for his words.
She held back the excitement in her heart, and walked around the pattern that had disappeared two more times.
Emperor Wu Xuan didn't dare to disturb him, and immediately ordered everyone to silence.
Bai Xianyu didn't say the solution immediately. Instead, he walked and walked, went around and around.
Finally, she sat down with her legs crossed and meditated on the spot. She didn't open her eyes until after noon.
When Emperor Wuxuan saw him open his eyes, his heart trembled, "How about it, National Teacher? Can you find a way to crack it?"
"The gods bless you." The old **** Bai Xianyu was there, "After all, I can't bear to suffer such a catastrophe for me, Da Kui."
Emperor Wu Xuan burst into a smile when he heard that there was hope.
God knows how much he waited. Ben had already given up, but he didn't expect that he actually found a way!
Emperor Wu Xuan firmly believed in Chilian, and there are two very important key points in it.
First, it was his cronies who first reported Chi Lian to him, not other people's introductions. Compared with those who he needs to worry about with ulterior motives, it is obviously his cronies who are more reliable.
Secondly, after taking office, Chilian, the national teacher, predicted many things in front of him, and all of them were fulfilled. This kind of ability he had never seen before, and it should convince him.
Bai Xianyu had already paved the way before, so he was able to get to this step steadily.
She spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, do you still remember which side the snake's head is facing?"
Emperor Wu Xuan answered quickly, "Southwest!"
"Exactly."
Bai Xianyu said: "The cause is the effect, and the effect is the cause. There are two possibilities for its head facing southwest. One is that the thing it fears is in the southwest, and the other is that the place where the disaster arises is in the southwest."
Xie Xingyun looked at Bai Xianyu's serious nonsense, and couldn't help but slightly bent his lips, as if he had seen her romping like before.
But Xie Xingyun could tell that Bai Xianyu was lying, but almost everyone present believed her words.
Bai Xianyu talked a lot, and finally asked an important question, "Your Majesty, is the imperial mausoleum located in the southwest of Kyoto?"
Emperor Wu Xuan did not hesitate, "Yes."
"The method of deciphering it lies in the imperial mausoleum. If you want to keep Da Kui safe, you can use the dragon energy of the emperors of all dynasties to suppress the evil spirit of the snake, and then you can decipher it."
Bai Xianyu has been observing Emperor Wu Xuan's expression, and as expected, when she mentioned the imperial tomb, Emperor Wu Xuan's expression fluctuated slightly.
What is hidden in there?
Her eyes flickered, and she lowered her eyelids calmly.
"Aside from this method, is there really no other way?"
Emperor Wuxuan did not give up, "Does it have to be resolved only by going to the imperial mausoleum?"
Bai Xianyu said: "Yes."
There was a long silence.
A very long time. There was no movement on the top of the mountain.
Bai Xianyu is not in a hurry. In her opinion, Emperor Wu Xuan will definitely agree in the end. From the perspective of Emperor Wu Xuan, she does not have any reason or purpose to deliberately approach the imperial tomb.
After a while, Emperor Wuxuan finally said, "In this case, the national teacher, you should go to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow and pray for my great Kui."
Bai Xianyu's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and he smiled slightly, "I obey the order."
