ninth junior sister

Chapter 219

Ling Xiaoruo was really angry when he saw him babbling, but also lamented because of the backwardness of ancient scientific civilization, so he repeated the first line of the Great Compassion Mantra in Buddhism: "Nan Wu Ha La Tan Na Duo La Yeye, Namo Alayevalu Jiedi Shuobalaya Bodhisattva..."

Bailixun, who was reciting a mantra, opened his eyes after hearing Ling Xiaoruo's murmur, raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Xiaoruo, and then asked, "Have you read "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva with Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes is Great and Perfect?" Unobstructed Great Compassion Dharani Sutra?"

Ling Xiaoruo heard the words, and replied: "This young lady has not only read this Buddhist scripture."

When Baili Xun heard the words, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he gave a soft "oh", and then closed his eyes and began to read again.

Seeing that he didn't speak again after asking this question, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel very disappointed. She thought that saying something about Buddhist scriptures would resonate with him and save her from death, but who knew that this person still ignored him. , it seems that she can only find another way.

After Bailixun finished praying, he lit a stick of incense for the emperor. The emperor stood up holding the incense, and then knelt down towards the sky. When the emperor knelt down, all the people under the altar knelt down completely and offered sacrifices. The sea-like crowd under the stage pressed down like waves.

"Please give me abundant rain in Moxi!" The emperor bowed three times with incense sticks in his hand.

"Please give me abundant rainwater in Moxi!" After the emperor worshiped, the people under the altar also imitated his words and repeated them. The words of worship shook the sky, making Ling Xiaoruo feel that the ground under his feet was shaking. Followed by shaking a bit.

She stared at those pious worshipers. In fact, there was nothing wrong with them. They are as good as water, and water benefits all things without fighting. , everyone just wants to live a better life.

However, this is not a wish that can be fulfilled by worshiping it!
Ling Xiaoruo stared blankly at the dark crowd below the stage, still thinking about ways to save himself.

A grand sacrifice is coming to an end amidst the worship of the people.

After the worship, Ling Xiaoruo was escorted off the altar by the soldiers, and then brought her into the carriage, the wheels rolled forward, and every time there was a creaking sound, Ling Xiaoruo felt the god of death approaching her a step.

After shaking for a while, Ling Xiaoruo was escorted out as before. After getting out of the carriage, Ling Xiaoruo turned his eyes and found that there was an endless desert in front of him. Because of the sand, the temperature here seemed to be higher than before. It was a few degrees higher there, and under the scorching sun, the sand absorbed the heat of the sun, making people feel sultry and hot.The sun slanted on the hills, dividing the sand dunes into Yin and Yang sides. The sun side is dazzlingly white, while the shade side is gray-black.

A platform has been built on the edge of the desert, and when viewed from below, it looks like an octagonal well has been built on the platform.

Ling Xiaoruo was pushed onto the platform by someone. Standing by the well and looking down, she saw that the well was filled with water, and the well water reflected her face. Behind her was the man hanging high in the sky. The flaming red sun, the well water sparkles under the sun's rays.

sink well? !
As soon as Ling Xiaoruo thought of this word, he panicked. He immediately thought of the Zhenfei Well in the Forbidden City. He still remembered that when he visited the Forbidden City, he sighed a lot. Now, she will be buried in this well in Moxi. Did it go down the well?
It turned out that she was still afraid of death!
However, although she was afraid, her face was still calm and composed.As long as he is not dead, there is a chance of life.

Ling Xiaoruo stared down at the platform, the audience was already full of people, apart from the officials he saw on the sacrificial platform just now, there were also crowds of onlookers standing at the moment, some knelt on the ground and kowtowed, some showed their faces Looking at her with joy, only a few people had worried and shallow nostalgia on their faces.

Zimo stood among the crowd, he looked coldly at the woman on the platform, seeing that her face remained unchanged, he couldn't help sighing in his heart.When Zimo stared, he saw Ling Xiaoruo also looking at him. Ling Xiaoruo narrowed his eyes and stared at him. Because of this look, Zimo's heart felt cold for no reason. Thinking of that night, her hand Holding the ponytail and being dragged by her in the snow, I felt that something bad was about to happen to me.

Will she just accept her fate like this?

"Fifth brother, why are you willing to let such a beauty die like this?"

Zimo looked at Ling Xiaoruo, and immediately squinted his eyes, but at this moment, he heard a man standing next to him tease him in a low voice.

Before Zimo could reply, another voice sounded: "That's right, Brother Fifteen, you haven't had a single woman by your side all these years. If you can inherit your father's position as the high priest in the future, you can follow the concubine." Speaking of which, I’m afraid they won’t be able to do it, right?”

Zimo continued to be silent when he heard the words. He glanced to the right, where his older brothers were standing, while his left was full of younger brothers. His father married 37 women and gave birth to twenty sons in total. Eighteen daughters, this scale is really comparable to the emperor, and even more honorable than the emperor, but he is not envious at all, and even disgusted.

Because of Zimo's silence, the two men standing beside him also knew that they were bored, so they stopped talking and just watched the good show.

Ling Xiaoruo on the platform stared at Zimo, and thought in his heart, even if he was going to die, he would have to pull a back, and this person would naturally be Baili Wushuang!Who made him owe her too much?

"The auspicious time has come, the sacrifice begins!"

With a loud singing, Ling Xiaoruo was held by the neck, her arms and legs, and she was lifted to a certain place. Those people turned her head down, and then aimed at the mouth of the well and threw her down hard. Just like that, Ling Xiaoruo fell headfirst into the well water.

"Puff-"

After a crisp sound of entering the water, Ling Xiaoruo was submerged in the cold well water in an instant.

Once in the water, Ling Xiaoruo's legs slipped, and she instantly changed her position. She rushed out of the water and raised her hands to wipe off the well water on her face, sliding her hands in the water so that she would not sink to the bottom of the well.

She looked up at the mouth of the well, only to hear a muffled sound of stones coming from above, and after the sound, she suddenly felt that the sun above her head was gradually dimming.Ling Xiaoruo knew that the people above were moving rocks and wanted to seal the mouth of the well.

She watched the huge stone move slowly, gradually covering the sky above her head, and when the stone was about to be completely sealed, she could only hear a sound of generosity from inside the well.

Ling Xiaoruo pointed at the sky and shouted loudly at the mouth of the well: "Go and tell the high priest that I can make the sky rain!"
