Chapter 99

99 The weather changes (1)

The sound was so terrifying that Xu Qi ‘an’s hair stood on end. He turned his head reflexively and looked at the lake.

The night watchmen in charge of guarding the surroundings were not allowed to turn back to watch the ceremony, and Xu Qi ‘an had already crossed the line.

He saw Emperor Yuan jing, who was wearing a bright yellow ceremonial robe and slowly walking up the stage, kowtowing every three steps. He saw the civil and military officials, the princes and princesses, and Wei Yuan and his two adopted sons.

He saw the majestic temple, the Imperial Army, and the eunuchs.

The moment he turned around, the voice disappeared.

Was he hallucinating?

I haven’t been looking for Fu Xiang for three days, and my eyes are still working.

Xu Qi ‘an took a deep breath. He didn’t dare to look any longer. He turned his head and asked, “”How much do you know about sang Bo?”

Zhu guangxiao and song tingfeng replied. There was not much valuable information. It was nothing more than ” the place where the founding Emperor corroborated his Dao “, ” the sword gifted by Black Tortoise “, ” the place where the royal family worshipped their ancestors ” and other information that Xu Qi ‘an already knew.

“Save me, save me …”

The voice came again, as if an evil spirit was lying on your back and whispering in your ear.

Xu Qi ‘an’s neck stiffened. He turned his head inch by inch and saw the scene of the sacrifice again. And the sound disappeared the moment he turned his head.

An invisible fear filled his heart, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

The Sangbo Lake where the founding Emperor of Da Feng vindicated his Dao, the place where the royal family worshipped their ancestors over the years, a horrifying cry for help came from … Xu Qi ‘an shivered in the cold wind.

“Save me, save me …”

“Save me, save me …”

Xu Qi ‘an’s hair stood on end, and the thought of running away came to his mind. He forced himself to calm down and no longer cared about his colleagues around him. He took out the small Jade Mirror.

[ 3: how much do you know about sang Bo? [ tell me immediately. This is very important. ]

[ 2: yo, No. 3 has replied. Are you really at the sacrificial ceremony in sang Bo? ]

Xu Qi ‘an ignored number two. After a few seconds, he saw number Four’s message.

[ 4: sang Bo was the place where the founding Emperor of Da Feng vindicated his Dao. After Da Feng was established, it was chosen to be the dingdu of sang Bo. However, the legend of the Black Tortoise had no evidence and its credibility was not high.

However, the divine sword really does exist. In the temple on the high platform in the center of the lake, the sword used by the founding Emperor was enshrined. ]

When number four finished, Daoist priest Golden Lotus added, ”

[ 9: it’s a divine weapon that symbolizes great Providence. ]

[ four: it is true. During the Battle of Shanhai Pass, Emperor Yuan jing went to the temple to invite the heavenly weapon and personally gave it to the North-guarding King. The victory of the Shanhai battle was not only due to Wei Yuan’s Army, but also because of the North vanquishing Prince’s combat power.

The temple worships a divine sword?

Is the sword asking me for help?

Let’s not talk about whether the sword has its own consciousness or not. Why is it asking me for help?

“Save me, save me …” The voice suddenly became shrill, as if it was dissatisfied with Xu Qi ‘an’s indifference.

The cry for help echoed in Xu Qi ‘an’s ears, shaking his mind. He felt a little dizzy, and his consciousness was in chaos.

He took a deep breath and entered the message:[ 3. Any more? [ I want more comprehensive information. I want to know everything recorded in history, whether true or false. ]

After sending the letter, he looked back, trying to calm the murmurs in his ears.

But this time, he did not succeed. He turned around, and the cry for help was still in his ears.

“Save me, save me!”

The veins on Xu Qi ‘an’s forehead bulged. The voice was like a steel needle, piercing his mind.

[ 4: you’ve brought back my memories. I’m reminded of a record I read when I was compiling history.

Sang Bo was currently surrounded and protected by the military camps of the five guards of the capital. The defense was tight, and no one was allowed to approach it without permission.

This was because five hundred years ago, the Crown Prince had been on a boat at sang Bo and had accidentally fallen into the lake. After being rescued by the guards, he had fallen seriously ill and had since become hysterical. Half a year later, she was found to have drowned in a Mulberry Lake.

The royal family believed that it was the Crown Prince who had angered the souls of the ancestors and was punished. In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, they sealed the Sang Bo and only opened it during the worship of the ancestors.

The Crown Prince fell into the lake and became hysterical … Did he hear the cry for help like me …? Would I make the same mistake and end up being found drowning in Mulberry?

Thinking of this, Xu Qi ‘an felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her face turned pale.

There must be some secret in sang Bo that had not angered the souls of the ancestors. However, the unlucky Crown Prince did not know about it. Otherwise, he would not have rowed in sang Bo.

One could imagine that this secret was probably only known to the emperors of the past generations.

However, why did the Emperor, who knew the inside story, not seal sang Bo and only take action after the Crown Prince died?

Xu Qi ‘an, who was good at reasoning, had many doubts in his mind.

[ six: why is number three asking this? ]

At this time, Xu Qi ‘an had no energy to answer their questions. He trembled as he put the fragment of the book back into his arms. Then, he knelt on the ground powerlessly, holding his head with a pained expression.

“Save me, save me …”

The cries for help reached his ears and reverberated in layers, making his brain a mess, as if steel needles had pierced his skull.

He had a splitting headache.

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao noticed the abnormality of their colleague and were shocked by Xu Qi ‘an’s pale face.

“What’s wrong with you? We can’t drop the ball at this time. If we interrupt or disturb His Majesty’s ancestral worship, it will be a capital crime.” Song tingfeng was anxious.

Zhu guangxiao shifted his steps, wanting to come over and check on the situation.

…..

At this moment, Emperor Yuan jing had already ascended the high platform. The music stopped, and the chief of Taichang temple knelt and read the congratulatory words. After reading, he was happy.

Emperor Yuan jing personally burned Zhu Wen and knelt three times and bowed nine times to the ancestor.

The ancestral worship was only halfway done.

Wei Yuan retracted his gaze and looked at the Empress, who was not far away.

As the eldest princess’s birth mother, the mother and daughter’s appearances were not similar, but the Empress was still a devastatingly beautiful woman. Even now, she was still graceful and Noble.

One could only imagine how beautiful she was back then.

However, with the passage of time, her Prime had passed. She was no longer the young girl with delicate features and pure feelings.

And he was still wearing the same green clothes as before.

Wei Yuan was dazed.

As if sensing something, the motherly Empress turned around and the two of them looked at each other.

The Empress’s gaze softened for a moment.

Wei Yuan retracted his gaze as if he had been electrocuted and hurriedly bowed. All the emotions in his eyes settled down, leaving only a deep sense of vicissitudes.

“Foster father, something’s not right over there.” Yang Yan said in a deep voice.

Wei Yuan followed his gaze and saw a Gong kneeling on the ground. The two Gong Masters beside him were talking to him.

Many experts had already noticed Xu Qi ‘an’s situation.

It was just that there was no danger for the time being, so he endured it and did not ask. As long as there were no assassins, no matter how big the world was, they had to wait until His Majesty finished worshiping the ancestors.

Including the revenge on this little Gong.

Wei Yuan immediately recognized the young man and raised his chin, “”You go and take a look at the situation and take him away.”

This was to protect Xu Qi ‘an.

…….

“Save me, save me …”

Xu Qi ‘an’s mind was torn apart. One moment, he felt like a Criminal Police officer living in a new era, and the next moment, he felt like he was a native of the capital.

The throbbing pain in his head became more and more intense, and he was on the verge of collapse.

‘My head hurts so much. Stop shouting, stop shouting. I beg you, please stop shouting …’ Xu Qi ‘an covered her head, beads of sweat rolling down her face.

In fact, he was already drenched in sweat.

The strange cry for help was directed at his primordial spirit and not his physical body, but the pain it brought was no less than the torture of his physical body.

Xu Qi ‘an finally broke down in the midst of the strange cries for help. He did not care about the emperor’s worship of his ancestors, the strict rules, and everything else.

When he was on the verge of death, nothing was important anymore.

He clenched his fists and pounded the ground heavily. He roared with all his might, ”

“Shut up!”

In an instant, the weather changed.

On the high platform in the middle of the lake, the temple suddenly began to shake. Immediately after, a golden sword Qi exploded the roof and shot into the clouds.

In this sword light, the lake water suddenly surged with waves, layer by layer, as if the Mulberry Lake had come alive.

[ PS: it’s released at midnight. ]
