Chapter 287 Resurrection of the Old Gods (11)

On the fifth day, the black-robed woman came to take Zhao Yutang's blood as usual, and she sprinkled the blood on the statue. This time, instead of letting Zhao Yutang recite the sacrificial words in the shrine, she opened the door of the shrine.

"follow me."

Zhao Yutang followed her all the way into a natural pool forest, and there was a small hot spring in the center that could accommodate four or five people.

The black-robed woman had no expression on her face, "Soak in, I'll call you in two hours."

two hours?

Zhao Yutang suspected that his skin was wrinkled at that time.

She didn't resist. After all, protesting was useless. She first pretended to be obedient and soaked in the hot spring. Under the steam, her whole body was smeared red.

The black-robed woman went to guard outside, probably because she felt that such a weak little girl had no ability to escape or make small moves, and she was not afraid of her causing trouble.

Zhao Yutang soaked quietly for a while, making sure that no one should come over during this period, and quietly went ashore.

"Ushigami——Ushigami—"

In the chaotic realm, Qin Wu suppressed several evil spirits who were making trouble, and suddenly heard a familiar voice amidst the mournful howling.

The girl's voice was very soft and low, calling him softly, with silent urging, as if she hoped that he would appear quickly.

Zhao Yutang waited by the hot spring for a while, thinking that Qin Wu would not show up, but suddenly some drops of water were sprinkled on his face.

She raised her head, "Shi Shen?"

Shi Shen stood beside her, smiled at her tenderly, and was surprisingly easy to talk to.

"what's up?"

Zhao Yutang immediately recognized that this clan god should be the one she saw first, the one with a good temper.

She stood up, because she had just sat on the edge of the hot spring, her skirt was soaked, and her ankles were wet.

"I want to go outside to have a look, and I hope Shishen can help."

This Clan God was really easy to talk, and agreed to Zhao Yutang's request without saying a word. With his help, Zhao Yutang left here smoothly.

Her goal is very clear, to return to the palace.

It was the festive season at this time, and the palace was as lively as the folks. The emperor held a big banquet in the palace to entertain his ministers.

As the lord of the harem, the empress looked dignified and luxurious, and when the performances of the concubines were almost done, she returned to the palace to rest on the pretext of feeling unwell.

"Your Majesty is really giving those concubines face, and she is still waiting for them to show off their three-legged cat kung fu."

The maid waited on the queen to remove the hairpin and tiara, and said indignantly, "Especially that concubine Xiao, relying on the emperor's favor, dared to present a gift before you. I really don't know what to do."

The queen leaned on the cushion and smiled softly, "She is understanding and understands how to be sympathetic to the emperor. Now that the emperor needs her, she will naturally be favored. Later—"

Now that the Daqin treasury is running low, and foreign thieves are frequently invading the border, the emperor lives in anxiety all day long. Naturally, he needs a considerate concubine to create a gentle home for her. , and even a country that can make the gods obey, the emperor will naturally turn his mind to the business.

The queen touched the Danko painted on her nails, and there was a trace of sternness in her eyes.

When the emperor is no longer immersed in the gentleness, she will have her own way to punish those women who don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth.

"Miss."

The maids serving the grooming had already left, and the queen was about to rest, so she replied impatiently, "What's the matter?"

The light purple bed curtain was pulled open, Zhao Yutang smiled at her, "Your Majesty, don't rush to rest, I have something to ask your Majesty."

The queen looked at her in horror, and opened her mouth to call for someone, but in the next second, a hairpin lay across her neck.

Zhao Yutang smiled, "Among Niangniang's jewelry, I think this hairpin is the most beautiful."

The queen understood the threat in her words, and nodded nervously, "You, what do you want to ask?"

Her eyes were full of disbelief, how did this girl escape? !
Qin Wu also glanced at Zhao Yutang in surprise. He was exceptionally silent all the way, because after regaining consciousness, he found himself following Zhao Yutang and helping her run out of the temple.

He was annoyed that he was still influenced by that false god, and he didn't understand how easy that false god was to indulge Zhao Yutang, a sacrifice, to do whatever he wanted.

But at this moment, looking at Zhao Yutang's beautiful and soft face, he once again clearly realized that she was not as well-behaved and harmless as she pretended on the surface, she was smart and cunning.

Zhao Yutang sat by the bed, played with the hairpin in his hand, and asked softly, "Is it the idea of ​​the national teacher to send me as a sacrifice?"

The palace nodded nervously, "Yes, yes, it was proposed by the national teacher."

"Am I the first?"

"Yes, the first one."

The queen defended herself nervously, "This is all the idea of ​​the national teacher, I didn't intend to harm you on purpose."

What she said was also true. Nowadays, the emperor is stupid and unreasonable. When he is indecisive, he will first go to the national teacher. Even if she is the queen of a country, she sometimes has to act according to the national teacher's face.

"I've read the ancient books. It said that the last time the Qin family's descendants were used as human sacrifices failed, how could he guarantee that I would be useful?"

The queen didn't expect that she knew so much, and she became more and more afraid when answering the questions, for fear that Zhao Yutang would attack her if she disagreed with her.

"The national teacher said that he has four points of confidence. The current god is different from the past. If you still don't work, then he will choose other people from the princes and princesses."

When mentioning the god of clan, Zhao Yutang glanced in Qin Wu's direction, his expression was so indifferent that no special emotion could be seen.

What does different from the past mean?Does it mean that Qin Wu's power has been weakened?

Zhao Yutang always felt that things were not that simple.

"Do you know what the relationship between the national teacher and the temple is?"

What Zhao Yutang asked was actually the altar set up by the national teacher. She wanted to find out if this was the source of the power to suppress Qin Wu. If so, what did the national teacher do to set up this altar?
If she knew how the national teacher suppressed Qin Wu, then when necessary, she might be able to follow suit to fight for her own life.

Zhao Yutang speculated that Qin Wu knew that her sacrifice would have a negative impact on him but did not stop it. It must be because for him, she still has some uses that he needs.

Therefore, there is a high probability that he will allow her to have her blood taken for seven days and become his sacrifice completely.

This is probably not a good end, Zhao Yutang must avoid this possibility.

The queen replied tremblingly, "The temple has been managed by the national teachers of the past for hundreds of years, but the national teachers sent people to renovate it a few years ago."

The altar should have been set up at that time, and Zhao Yutang reasonably suspected that the State Teacher had found a way to suppress Qin Wu's power.

Zhao Yutang threw away the hairpin in his hand, and smiled at Qin Wu who was watching quietly, "Shi Shen."

She blinked, her tone was soft, as if she was flattering.

"Can you do me one more favor?"
