Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 534 Living Human Sacrifice 6
After what happened to Princess Xijing that night, three days later, the sacrificial ceremony of Xifeng Kingdom finally kicked off.

The place where the sacrificial ceremony was held was an open space on the back of the mountain. It is said that this is the place where the patron saint lives.A tall platform was built at the foot of the mountain, and a long step was repaired from the bottom to the platform.The handrails on both sides of the steps and the prince's fence are carved with dragon patterns, and a huge dragon pattern tripod is placed in the middle of the platform.

At this time, three huge sticks of incense were lit in the Dragon Pattern Cauldron, and the whole venue wafted a faint scent of incense.About four meters below the stage were their seats for spectators. Shen Wanyu leaned on Chu Mohan and watched an old man in white walking up the stage.

The old man has white hair all over his head, but his face is very energetic.Those long and narrow eyes were shining brightly, and standing there proudly with his chin raised slightly, he really had a somewhat fairy-tale feeling.

"Over there is the national teacher of Xifeng Kingdom. This time the sacrificial ceremony will be held by him personally."

Seeing that Shen Wanyu's eyes fell on the old man in white on the stage, Chu Mohan lowered his head and whispered in her ear to introduce her.

Shen Wanyu raised her eyebrows slightly, it turned out that this old man was the national teacher of Xifeng Kingdom.Hmph, looking at his slender eyes is not a good person.

"It turns out that this is the national teacher of Xifeng Kingdom, and it looks nothing more than that. Hmph, it's just putting on airs."

Chu Mohan rubbed her hair helplessly, and a low voice rang in her ears: "I have people staring at that Princess Xijing, and she has been imprisoned by the emperor since the palace banquet that day. No one is allowed People came to visit her, and she stayed in her palace very quietly and never came out. I don’t see any problem, I really don’t know why you pay so much attention to her.”

Shen Wanyu was also taken aback when she heard the words, although she only had a quick look at Princess Xijing at the palace banquet.But when I am confident that I seldom see the wrong person, Princess Xijing doesn't look like a person who accepts her fate.

"The people you sent to watch Princess Xijing haven't called back yet, let them continue to watch. If there is any change in her, report it immediately."

"Don't worry, I've told them about it a long time ago." Chu Mohan rubbed her hair, pregnant people are still so worried.

Shen Wanyu nodded, but she was still a little uneasy.She turned her eyes to the stage again, at this time the emperor and queen of Xifeng Kingdom had already walked onto the stage hand in hand.The old man bathed them with divine blessings, and the emperor and queen seemed to respect the patron saint with pious and solemn faces.

After bathing in the blessings of the gods, the emperor and the empress knelt down facing the opposite mountain and kowtowed.Seeing this, Shen Wanyu smiled mockingly.Once the emperor actually kneeled down to a so-called patron saint, even if it really was a patron saint.It only exists to protect Xifeng, no matter how noble it is, it is no more noble than the Son of Heaven.

Now that Emperor Xifeng kneels down to this patron saint, it is really indescribably ironic.

"The emperor and queen, please stand up, the patron saint has already felt your sincerity. Now offer your sacrifices."

The emperor nodded when he heard the words, and then nodded towards the eunuch beside him.The eunuch immediately took two steps in the direction of the stairs and announced loudly.

"Sacrifice!"

As the eunuch's voice fell, a group of guards escorted a woman in a gorgeous palace dress and a veil over her face.Walking all the way to the stage, everyone's eyes fell on the woman.

Shen Wanyu raised her head to look at the veiled woman, her brows furrowed slightly.The woman only showed a pair of beautiful eyes, and those eyes were so familiar.There was excitement, fear and despair in her eyes, and she seemed unwilling to be bound by something.

Shen Wanyu kept staring at the woman walking up the stage, she always felt that something was wrong.But he couldn't find anything wrong, and this feeling made him a little irritable.

"what happened?"

Chu Mohan also felt a sense of irritability coming from her. He thought she was just not happy with the living priest he saw next: "If you don't want to watch it, I'll ask Ying to take you back first. There are so many people now, you Leave and no one will notice."

Shen Wanyu shook her head, her gaze was still fixed on the woman on the stage.The woman's hands were tied with a golden ribbon by the old man, and a red necklace was hung on her body.

The woman struggled slightly, and let out a humming sound.It seemed that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

The color of Shen Wanyu's eyes changed, she turned her head to look at Chu Mohan and asked, "Princess Xijing was given dumb drugs by the emperor?"

"No, as a sacrificial offering, there should be no flaws. Therefore, Emperor Xifeng would not do anything to Princess Xijing, and only let people look down on her."

Chu Mohan froze for a moment, then shook his head and said.Moreover, the people he sent also said that no one had ever visited Princess Xijing.

"Look at Princess Xijing's reaction. She let out a cry for help, obviously her voice has been poisoned and hoarse."

Princess Xijing on the stage struggled violently, her sobs getting louder and louder.Let everyone in the audience feel the desperation, and everyone should not bear to watch it at first.

Hearing Shen Wanyu's words, Chu Mohan also turned his attention to the struggling Princess Xijing.The deep eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was a hint of thought in the lower eyes.For a moment, the entire venue fell silent, only Princess Xijing's desperate sobs could be heard.

"Your Highness, it is your honor to be able to give to the patron saint first as a sacrifice. Your resistance is disrespectful to the patron saint. This will bring disaster to Xifeng Kingdom. For the sake of Xifeng Kingdom, you should not Struggle no more."

The national teacher frowned slightly, his voice was gentle but his words were cold and ruthless.

The struggling Princess Xijing froze when she heard what the national teacher said.Then he stared at the national teacher with wide eyes, as if he was going to eat the national teacher.

Shen Wanyu scanned the field with her eyes, and was slightly taken aback when she saw Princess Xining in the first row.Everyone couldn't bear to look at it at first, but she was the only one who sat quietly and looked at Princess Xijing who was struggling on the stage.

Shen Wanyu was a little puzzled, Xining had always been a kind woman.She would never bear to watch a living being disappear like this.

She turned her gaze to Princess Xijing on the stage again, only to find that her eyes fell on the quiet Princess Xining under the stage with hatred.Shen Wanyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes fell on the two of them.
