Unscrupulous Concubine Evil Lord

Xia Chuyi made such a fuss this time, which completely annoyed Feng Luo, who was always moody.

On the way back to the inn, she obediently dragged Chang Huan to follow behind Jin Yuanbao. She looked like a child who had done something wrong, with her head down and her mouth pouted, very obedient.

Jin Yuanbao shook his head as he watched from the sidelines, thinking that this is what it means to be self-inflicted.

A group of six people crossed the crowded street and were about to go back to Jinyu Tower. Who would have thought that those who love to find trouble would stop looking for trouble, but that thing happened to be found.

A gray-haired old woman in her late [-]s stood in front of them, pushed aside Jin Yuanbao and Feng Luo, and set her eyes on Xia Chuyi.

The old lady had no spiritual power at all, and Jin Yuanbao and the others couldn't stop them, so they could only politely ask: "Old lady, what do you want?"

The old woman completely ignored everyone, just stared at Xia Chu for a while, and then said suddenly: "Miss is fifteen?"

As soon as Xia Chu heard the words, he raised his head, and was baffled by the situation in front of him.When she looked at Jin Yuanbao and saw him shaking his head at her, she couldn't help but feel even more puzzled.

"Fifteen, it should be these few days." She counted with her fingers and said in a low voice.

The old lady was pleasantly surprised when she heard the words, and hurriedly pulled her away: "Just in time, our priest is short of a girl, girl, come with me!"

At this moment, Xia Chuyi really felt like being chased away by someone. Looking back at Jin Yuanbao and Shadow, they hoped to save them, but everyone shook their heads.

It's not because the opponent is strong, but because the opponent is as weak as an ant to them, and they can solve it with a light move.

It's like the current Xia Chuyi, being pulled by the old woman, she didn't even dare to struggle vigorously, for fear that the old woman would be hurt by her.

Sometimes people are so strange, if the opponent is stronger than themselves, the fire of fighting spirit in the chest will burn even more vigorously.But facing this harmless old woman, she felt that all the spirit power of the spirit king level around her was instantly nullified.

Let it go, maybe it's just to do a little favor?

Xia Chuyi, with the spirit of helping others and bravely helping the old woman cross the road, completely gave up resistance and followed the old woman to another place.

Behind them, naturally followed Jin Yuanbao's long string of tails.

"Old woman, where are you taking me?" Xia Chuyi felt that even if he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, he should know that he would end up making mutton dumplings or mutton ramen.

The old woman said without turning her head, "Hey, isn't it right in front?"

As soon as Xia Chu raised his head and looked, he saw countless stairs extending upwards in a vast field.

And above the stairs, a statue of a woman taller than a three- or four-story house stands there, with flowing cloud hair on her temples and fluttering skirt, like a heavenly man.

"Wow, fairy!" She suddenly exclaimed.

The old lady smiled, turned her head and said to her: "Fool, that is Empress Baihua."

Xia Chuyi was amazed in his heart, the people in Baihua City seemed to adore this Baihua empress, to erect such a large statue here, in this era of lack of craftsmanship, I don't know how much manpower and financial resources were spent.

The two climbed up the stairs step by step. Both sides were full of believers holding incense and worshiping. Their expressions were serious, as if they were doing a very sacred thing.

But everyone would rather walk on the side than in the middle, so they vacated a large area of ​​the already spacious stairs.But she and the old woman were walking in the middle, receiving everyone's attention, it felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Xia Chuyi gently tugged at the corner of the old woman's clothes, and whispered to her, "Grandma, did we go to the wrong place?"

The old woman stopped and waited for her to come forward, and then reached out and patted the back of her hand with the other hand: "That's right, it's here. Don't be nervous for a while, just fill up the number, and I will remind you of other things." your."

"Replenishment? What am I here for?" Xia Chuyi suddenly felt an inexplicable fear of what was going to happen next.

……

The five people following her watched Xia Chuyi climb up along the middle. Yingyi and Yingsi hurriedly prepared to follow, but were stopped by Jin Yuanbao.

"This is the place where only the clergy team that sacrifices to Empress Baihua can go. If you go, you will be beaten to death by the surrounding people."

Hey~~ so cruel! !

Ying Yi and Ying Si shuddered all over, retreated, and asked with some puzzlement: "Then Miss Xia is not a priest, how can she get up from here?"

With one hand on his chin, Jin Yuanbao pondered for a while with his eyes downcast, and said, "I probably guessed what she was doing."

Except for Feng Luo, who doesn't like to talk, and Chang Huan, who never talks, Ying Yi and Ying Si's curiosity can be said to be very strong, and they immediately asked: "Young master, tell me quickly."

Jin Yuanbao pointed to the aisle where believers and believers walked, and motioned for everyone to come up from the side, and he said as he walked.

"The birthday of the Empress Baihua, apart from the sideshows we just saw, the most important thing is naturally the sacrificial ceremony of the Empress Baihua. The status of this sacrificial ceremony here is comparable to the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven during festivals. It's much more important, Baihua City will even raise some priests to preside over all these matters, such as the old woman just now."

"In addition to inviting the Empress of Hundred Flowers, sending the Empress of Hundred Flowers, bathing ceremony, offering sacrifices, and bathing the head, there is another item in this sacrificial ceremony, which requires non-clergy to perform."

Ying Yi quickly asked: "What is that?"

Jin Yuanbao no longer had the nervousness just now, and he still smiled thoughtfully: "At the sacrificial ceremony every year, 24 girls who have both ability and political integrity are selected in advance from the whole city, and they will be together in the Baihua Empress. On the day of his birthday, on behalf of all the girls in the city, they will receive the blessings of Empress Baihua, and they will also give a ceremony. I guess, there must be a girl who can't come temporarily, and that old woman just happened to find a replacement when the first day of the lunar new year comes. "

After hearing Jin Yuanbao's words, Ying [-] and Ying [-] twitched the corners of their mouths simultaneously.

A girl with both ability and political integrity... It seems that Xia Chuyi doesn't have any words that can be attached to it, right?

A group of five people squeezed and squeezed in the crowded line like human meat sandwiches, and it took a long time to finally reach the edge of the top altar.

At this moment, they missed Xia Chuyi very much. They remembered that when they were in Gejiazhuang, Xia Chuyi opened the way ahead, and they followed behind without wasting any effort.

"Hey, why is there no one there?"

Ying Yi looked around and was suddenly surprised.

Just now I clearly saw that old lady bring Xia Chuyi up.

"Behind the statue of Empress Baihua is a preparation room. She must have been taken to change clothes." Jin Yuanbao was not in a hurry at all, and he did not forget to comfort Chang Huan who was a little restless after leaving Xia Chuyi next to him.

Chang Huan has a photographic memory no matter what he is dealing with.So Xia Chuyi deliberately pulled him to know all the shadows who walked with them one by one, so as not to deny them in future fights.

And because Jin Yuanbao often handles various trivial matters for her next to Xia Chuyi, he has more contact with Chang Huan.Sometimes I can spend time with Chang Huan, and when Xia Chuyi disappears for a short time, I can watch him for her.

Taking a candy from Chang Huan's candy box and stuffing it into his mouth, the group quietly waited for the start of the sacrificial ceremony.

It didn't take long, and the ceremony of paying homage to Empress Baihua finally began.

A majestic woman in her 60s and [-]s slowly walked up from the bottom of the stairs with a law enforcement stick. The gorgeous costumes and headgear on her body made her more graceful and luxurious, like the moonlight high above, unattainable.

And behind her, there were two long rows of young women who specially supported her with the hem of the long dress that was trailing behind.

Afterwards, there were women holding various tributes, row by row, neat and solemn, with the most pious faces, moving forward step by step.

There were so many people standing on both sides, but no one made any sound at this moment, it was so quiet that everyone had become dumb.

Ying Yi felt that the quiet environment was inexplicably strange, so he couldn't help but move closer to Jin Yuanbao's side, and asked softly, "Young master, who is that old woman?"

Jin Yuanbao turned his head and stared at him, then reached out and knocked his head: "You're not polite, she is the lord of Baihua City, she is kind and charitable, and she has made great achievements in governing Baihua City, she is a respectable elder."

Ying Yi covered his head, not daring to retort to his young master like he did to Xia Chuyi, so he could only pout his mouth, back away and stand on the same side with Ying Si.

What followed was really like what Jin Yuanbao said, a series of various complicated rituals, as if it would never be finished.

Several people waited and waited until the flowers withered this year and bloomed next year, and the previous long section of singing and praying was considered to be over.

And what followed was the only ceremony they wanted to see.

A young girl with cardamom is at the age of [-], and her temple hair is pulled back, which means that she has reached the age of marriage.

Their eyes were fixed on the center of the altar, and they saw a group of beautifully dressed young girls slowly walking onto the stage under the leadership of a group of white-haired old women.

24 futons have already been prepared on the altar, arranged in two rows.Those women came over and immediately knelt on the futon.

Several people present, including Feng Luo and Chang Huan, stretched their necks at this moment, and swept towards the girls one by one.

"Young master, look quickly, Miss Xia is there!"

Ying One and Ying Four One found Xia Chuyi's figure and immediately called out, but when they turned their heads to look sideways, the rest of them looked like they had already seen it, and they couldn't help being frustrated.

However, this little setback was instantly submerged in the amazement at Xia Chuyi's glimpse, and then he couldn't recover for a long time, as if he had fallen into an illusion that he couldn't get in or get out of. .

The moon-white clothes scratched the ground, and her graceful figure swayed.

There was only a simple bun on that head, and a bow was tied between the temples with two hairbands of the same color, which was simple but grand.

And the small and exquisite face, the exquisite and unparalleled facial features, rendered with a touch of makeup, seemed to have a ostentatious beauty, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

I don't know if it's because of changing into women's clothing, but her expression has also rarely changed from her usual fangs and claws, and her beautiful eyeliner formed a beautiful arc, bending into a shallow smile.

Everyone was stunned, and it seemed that they didn't recover from the huge shock until another lengthy prayer was finished.

Ying opened his mouth, and nonchalantly said to Jin Yuanbao: "Young master, hurry up and marry Miss Xia while she is still a rough jade."

Once someone digs and carves it, it might be priceless and hard to find.

Jin Yuanbao just smiled lightly, without commenting.

The Jiji ceremony finally began. A row of young women walked up to 24 young girls with trays, and stood respectfully beside those old women.

Those old women are all lucky people who have been selected by thousands of people. They have a happy family and a full house of children and grandchildren. They have reached their sixtieth birthday.It is said that the women who were raped by them will be able to marry a good husband like them in the future, and live happily ever after.

Jin Yuanbao looked at everything the whole time, only to feel that the five fingers of the clenched fists in the cuffs were about to be trapped in the palms.

That feeling, how should I put it, is like a flower that I carefully cared for, and it finally came to the flowering period, and it bloomed so gorgeously and unparalleled, so gorgeous.

At that moment, somewhere in my heart seemed to soften into a puddle of water.

On Xia Chuyi, she has reached the age where she can marry.

On the altar, Xia Chuyi knelt on the futon unwillingly, but the thoughts in his heart were quite different from those of others.

She just prayed for it to end quickly, she felt that her vest was itchy and wanted to scratch...

He twisted his body restlessly, trying to relieve the discomfort in his body.But when she looked up and saw the old woman looking at her with a sullen face, she dared not move again.

I thought to myself what kind of shitty thing was this, but it was actually set on by her.Little did they know that the other 23 women present had gone through several layers of screening to be able to kneel here.

What an honor to be a woman blessed by Empress Baihua!

The long prayer was finally over. Xia Chuyi watched the old lady standing aside finally picked up the hairpin in the tray next to her. At that moment, she was almost so excited that tears filled her eyes.

But when she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she was stunned for a moment, looked at the old woman who was holding a hairpin and was about to put it on her head with some puzzlement, and asked softly: "Grandma, why are their hairpins made of wood?" hairpin, but mine is a hosta?"

The old lady of Zanchai was standing, and Xia Chuyi was kneeling, so she couldn't see the expression and face of the old lady at the moment, but in her ear, there was a voice belonging to another person so clearly.

——Because small things are the most special.

Xia Chuyi suddenly raised his head, because he was so excited, he almost knocked over the old woman in front of him.

His eyes fell on the old woman's face, it was still the same kind face full of ravines, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

She blinked her eyes in a daze for a long while, and finally lowered her eyes and said with some disappointment, "It's a hallucination."

She didn't know how the final ceremony ended. When she stepped down from the altar, she reached out and pulled out the jade hairpin on her head, put it in her hand, and played with it carefully.

The body of the hairpin is exquisite and small, transparent and emerald green. It is as quiet and deep as a thousand-year-old pond, but it has some warm color, which makes her, who doesn't like jewelry, very rare to fall in love with.

After getting off the altar, Jin Yuanbao and the other five quickly surrounded her.Ying Yi and Ying Si sang together and praised her fiercely.

On weekdays, she would definitely shake her head and put on a badass pose to accept their admiration and admiration, but at this moment, she didn't even have the intention to agree with them.

It was originally a great joy, but looking at Xia Chuyi's expression, he really didn't see any joy.

Jin Yuanbao drove Ying Yi and Ying Si far away, stretched out his hand to pull Xia Chuyi past him, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Xia Chuyi handed the jade hairpin to Jin Yuanbao's hand: "Show me."

Jin Yuanbao didn't say anything, immediately took the jade hairpin in his hand, looked at it repeatedly, and then said: "If I'm not mistaken, this jade hairpin is called Bi Linglong. In the book written by Yu Peili, the number one jade, this Bi Linglong ranks number one."

"Is this little thing ranked first?" Xia Chuyi suddenly felt a little unbelievable as he took the jade hairpin into his hand, but he didn't see why.

Jin Yuanbao raised the jade hairpin and said, "You have to look at the light."

As soon as Xia Chuyi followed her words, she saw the not-so-strong sunlight shining down, and she could vaguely see two golden flying dragons rolling and galloping in the sea of ​​clouds in the tiny jade hairpin!

She was speechless: "What is the principle?"

"Who knows? The world is so big, there are so many wonders." Jin Yuanbao shrugged, and then looked deeply at Xia Chuyi, "I want to know more than its principle. The whole Wuji Continent may not be able to find one." Only Yu Linglong, how did you get it on the first day of the junior high school?"

When I mentioned this, Xia Chuyi also became depressed: "If I say that the old lady Ji Jili just inserted it on my head, you will never believe it, will you?"

Jin Yuanbao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "How can I believe what you say."

Xia Chuyi clutched his chest, feeling that the loss just now seemed to be washed away by something.

She inserted the jade hairpin in her hair, and said with a soft smile: "Let's go back to the inn, I just took a picture of the food they bought, I'm going to taste all of it!"

"Aren't you afraid of becoming a pig?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm a little rich woman, I can support myself!"

"Now I hope you are not a little rich woman."

"Why?"

"Then I can take care of you."

"..."
