Chapter 442: The Snake in the Temple
Tianwu Palace is a group of battle maniacs, and the three major disciples fight as soon as they meet. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the end, Sun Jian patted his ass and left, wasn't Xun Yi using his magic power to heal his injuries? Moreover, this is still his body.
The three of them returned to the inn in embarrassment, and Xun Yi went to greet Xun Long: "Just now we met Shen Wei's fellow disciple brother. The nephew thought that there was a lot of danger along the way, so it was better to ask him to take care of it. ”
Xun Long did not object to this, and after discussing with Jiang Yuyan, he asked Hou Cheng and Shen Wei to protect Xun Yi together. That's right, protect Xun Yi, not Xun Long and others.
Xun Long was taboo that Shen Wei was close to his daughter and granddaughter, how could he let another person in?
And after Xun Yi heard Sun Jian talk about Hou Cheng's hobbies, he didn't dare to let him be with Zheng Baoshu. Coupled with Shen Wei's obstruction, Hou Cheng almost never met Zheng Baoshu, a little girl. Therefore, these two are temporarily regarded as Xun Yi's personal guards.
Shen Wei pulled Hou Cheng and ran to a secluded place: "What do you think of the son of the Xun family?"
"What can you see when you see it for the first time? But why didn't you and Sun Jian hand over the inheritance to him?"
"Sun Jian thinks he doesn't have the heart of a king, and I don't know him well, so I don't know if I want to help him. ”
"Then I'm looking at it too. Hou Cheng shrugged: "Anyway, don't worry, that guy Yuan Zai hasn't appeared yet." ”
"Yuan Zai's inheritance can only be used in the end, and it has nothing to do with him at present. ”
After the two muttered together, they followed Xun Yi along the way and supervised Xun Yi's words and deeds. The people with ghost fire on the road attacked three times and were forced back by Hou Cheng and Shen Wei. The two innate martial artists of the Four Heavens did not leave a single living mouth. Smoothly came to Dragon City, Xun Yi took Shen Wei and Hou Cheng to Taichang Temple to report.
Emperor Chengyuan gave Xun Yi an edict and ordered him to participate in the preparation of the Taimiao Festival on the first day of October as a sacrificial wine.
"Isn't this kind of sacrificial thing usually done by priests?" Shen Wei followed Xun Yi with a strange expression: "Will a noble son like you also come forward?"
"Worshipping the gods is a very solemn ceremony, especially this great festival to worship the Emperor of Heaven. Xun Yi, Hou Cheng, and Shen Wei explained the sacrifices of the Great Zhou.
"The Great Zhou will worship the Emperor of Heaven three times a year. One is the birthday of the Emperor of Heaven, one is the day of worship to the heavens, and the other is the ancestor worship at the beginning of October. Communicate with the Emperor of Heaven, if you can win the favor of the Emperor of Heaven, what kind of honor is this?Of course, I shouldn't interfere too much, after all, the Emperor of Heaven has his own exclusive priest. I should just have played a cutscene. ”
Xun Yi went to Taichang Temple to report.
Taichang Siqing is one of the nine Qings and is a senior brother of Xun Yi. When he saw Xun Yi coming, he welcomed him into the mansion with a smile. After asking about the intention, Wang Taichang shook his head: "You have come to the wrong place." Although this Taimiao sacrifice is under the management of our Taichang Temple. But what is the Taimiao? Where is our turn to speak?"
Taijoji Temple manages the Great Monday Rite Ceremony and is an institution under the Ministry of Rites.
"Your Majesty decreed that the Zongbo of the Taimiao, the great sacrificial wine of the Zongtai of the Ministry of Rites, and our Taichang Temple should be jointly managed. Taimiao provides the venue and is responsible for the overall planning. Zongtai's Zheng Saijiu was responsible for collecting the gold and contacting the princes. As for our Taichang Temple, we are responsible for the specific arrangement. ”
"You are a non-grade sacrificial wine official, you should be counted in the Taimiao. ”
So, Xun Yi went to Taimiao again.
The uncle of the Taimiao can be called the elder of the sect. Like Taijoji Temple, it is also responsible for the ritual of sacrifice. The former dynasty was originally an official position, but later it was divided into two. Zongbo was responsible for the internal affairs of the imperial family, while Taijoji Temple was more responsible for the external rituals. Like Xun Yi's Siming Temple sacrifice and various City God Temples, they all belong to the category of Taichang Temple.
As for Zongbo, he has always been a member of the royal family, specializing in worshipping the gods of the kings and managing them. This generation of Zongbo had to go to Taimiao to seek refuge because of the former royal family's seizure of the throne. Now He Wei Wang Ye generally belongs to the old qualifications of the royal family.
And-
Xun Yi was stared at by this Zongbo and felt uncomfortable. The white-haired old man closed his eyes: "I don't have any work for you to do here, you go to the music division to supervise the sacrifice of the gods." ”
"Huh?" Xun Yi could hear that something was wrong.
Ancestor worship in October is a troublesome thing, not only the royal family, but even the ministers will come to worship their ancestors. This kind of sacrifice is unprecedentedly grand, and the divine food, divine wine, divine clothing, three animals, silk coins, etc. all need to be prepared and inspected by special departments. However, Kagura is not part of the temple management. It belongs to the department under Taijoji Temple.
"That's weird, my senior brother asked me to come to Taimiao, and this uncle asked me to go to Taichang Temple?"
"The musicians of Taijoji Temple are preparing to arrange the music in the Kagura Hall. You went over to oversee it as a priest in the temple of Tai. Uncle Zong explained, but Xun Yi's doubts deepened.
Even Shen Wei vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and the three of them left from Zongbo, and Shen Wei immediately asked: "No, this is the unique rule of your Great Zhou? In Xuanyuan Country, there is a special organization for ritual music, how can music be arranged in the Taimiao?"
Xun Yi also felt that something was wrong. Taimiao has its own god kitchen, god library, slaughtering pavilion, and animal management room, but the training of musicians is difficult. The few musicians trained by Taimiao are not enough to complete the great music. Generally, it is arranged by the great priest under the rule of Taijoji Temple. There are some of the most outstanding musicians in the country, and it is a holy place for the Great Zhou to train musicians. From here, people are selected for rehearsals and finally performed at the ceremony.
"There is no need to come to Taimiao to conduct drills at all. There is also the identity of the Taimiao sacrificial wine, not so much as the sacrificial wine, it should be called the sacrificial music official, right?" Xun Yi pondered, and suddenly Shen Wei next to him pulled him back: "Be careful!"
Next to him, Hou Cheng waved his hand and slashed a poisonous snake to death. stepped forward to check, Hou Cheng said in a low voice: "Highly poisonous, you will be killed immediately." ”
Xun Yi's eyes narrowed, and he looked around with a smile. At this time, there was no one around. The huge temple is deserted, and the atmosphere is eerie and weird, which makes people's hearts chill.
"The Taimiao land is yin, and it is normal to have snakes and the like. Xun Yi's face did not change, and he ordered the two to go to the Kagura Hall with him.
"Normal? It's clear that someone is doing something to you. Along the way, Xun Yi was assassinated several times, Shen Wei and Hou Cheng were vigilant, and protected Xun Yi in the middle. Fortunately, these two guys are here, otherwise Xun Yi would have been recruited just now.
But then, the three of them encountered a lot of plots against Xun Yi. Sometimes, it's an arrow from a distance. Sometimes, it's the sky that pours poisonous water.
"Can you leave first?" Shen Wei always felt that something was wrong with this place.
"Is it just to resist the decree with some words without evidence?" Xun Yi grimaced and smiled mockingly: "If we really want to report, Taimiao only needs to deny it completely, what can we do?"
The temple is too big, there are really people who want to hide here and plot, what can they do when they first arrive?
"Let's find Kagura Hall first. I know about the shrine and the slaughtering pavilion, but I've never heard of any Kagura hall here. "It's clear that Xun Yi was pulled into the Taimiao, and then tried to eradicate it! Even the uncle just now feels suspicious when he thinks about it.
Lenovo Xun Long's words. The Ghost Fire Organization is mysterious and unpredictable, and the Xun family has been searching for many years but has not been able to find out their lair. And there is only one place in the Great Zhou today that the Xun family can't touch or snoop on.
The temple is solemn and solemn, and the palace complex is magnificent and magnificent, like an entrenched dragon opening its mouth and devouring everyone. (To be continued.) )
