The tail of summer is slowly passing by, and the autumn festival is coming as scheduled.

The weather is getting cooler, and there are layers of clouds in the blue sky. This day is the ceremony of worshiping the God of God. The weather is good and people are full of joy.

The venue of the ceremony was arranged at an altar on the outskirts of the imperial city, and since Dayin established his capital, it has always been held here.

On this day every three years, almost all the people in the world who are able to travel across mountains and rivers will gather in the outskirts of the imperial city, and the crowds are nothing more than that; The profit was almost several times that of the previous year, and he made a lot of money in an instant.

However, although this has stimulated the economic development of the imperial city, there are also many dangerous factors, and the emperor's safety is the first to bear the brunt.

In the past few years, Emperor Wu performed the sacrificial dance by himself. On the huge sacrificial altar, he was the only one who moved within ten feet. It is at the bottom of the altar, so this is the time when the defense on Emperor Wu's side is the weakest.

Since Emperor Wu presided over the ceremony, he worshiped the Yin God almost every three years. He had to face the assassination of others, some were professional killers, and some were individual travelers from the world. None of these assassinations were successful, such results, nakedly proved the strength of Emperor Wu, even without the protection of his guards, he could protect himself well, even more than enough.

But this year, according to Emperor Wu's arrangement, Bai Miao will be the one who dances the sacrificial dance on the sacrificial platform, and Tu Xiuting himself will be the guard, guarding around his little lotus.

At this moment, it was already three poles high in the sun, and the sun was right on the top of people's heads. There were crowds of people under the altar, and the noise was all whispers.

The altar not far away is more than ten feet high, round in shape, about ten feet in diameter, and made of high-quality white marble. There is a dark tulle curtain on the altar, which can just cover the entire altar. Among them, shadows can be seen in the center.

And around the altar, there are eight thick pillars, on which are engraved Yinshen with human face and animal body, or moving tail, or stepping on clouds, each frame is a unique picture.

As for today's protagonist, Comrade Bai Miao, he hides behind Emperor Wu with his calves.

At this moment, the other end of the altar.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... are there so many people?"

Bai Miao was trembling, feeling his teeth and tongue were trembling, his calves were twitching, and it seemed that even his stomach was rolling with sourness - this was his expression after being extremely nervous.

"There are people from all corners of the country under this stage, and they are extensive and reach the world." Tu Xiuting's eyes were long, and they fell on the bustling crowd under the altar behind the veil, "Some of them may only see this once in their entire lives." It is also possible that you will never see the festival in your lifetime."

Dayin has a large population and distinct social classes, so people living at the bottom of this society are poor and difficult, and it is very likely that they will not be able to earn the money to travel to the imperial city for a lifetime; The belief in every Dayin's heart, if possible, who wouldn't want to see it with their own eyes?

And people who have never seen God Yin worship have heard a rumor: on the day of sacrifice, after the sacrifice dance is over, the sky will shine with colorful lights.

This is a legend, and it is also a good wish for Dayin's future.

According to previous records, the first ceremony of His Majesty Dayin's first emperor after the establishment of the capital caused such a strange scene. Later, it was true that the new year was auspicious and everything went smoothly, but the emperor after that was the most popular in the world The known Emperor Wu had never summoned such a celestial phenomenon.

As a result, history has become a legend, and future generations have never seen it, so they can only believe it with enthusiasm.

But in their hearts, they are all sincerely looking forward to the day when the sky will be auspicious.

"Is that so..." Bai Miao mumbled, even through the gauze curtain, he could clearly see the fiery eyes of the people in the audience, just like the modern star-chasers who regard the existence of a certain person as their own Faith, thinking about each other wholeheartedly.

Such fiery emotions are real and moving.

Bai Miao is no exception.

Even the indifferent Emperor Wu would have a lot of feelings on this day.

But in fact, once Emperor Wu could not understand such emotions, until he met Bai Miao and let his emotions gather on a person in another way, Emperor Wu understood the meaning of that fiery emotion. What, gradually understand the beliefs and fanaticism of those common people.

Facing Bai Miao's timidity, Emperor Wu didn't say anything encouraging, but calm and rational, "Miao Miao, remember? You said you wanted to stand before the world."

He paused, stroked the boy's hair, his voice was deep, with unspeakable solemnity, "This is your chance to take this step, it can be said that only success is not allowed, because this time it is almost In front of the people of the world, there is only one way to go forward, and there is no way to retreat.”

"Of course, if you are afraid of Miao Miao, you don't have to go up. It's fine if I come, but I will stay by my side in the future, and I can't go anywhere."

He can't go outside the palace, can't go anywhere away from Emperor Wu's eyes. For the rest of his life, he can only be shackled in a golden house by a man named Tu Xiuting.

Bai Miao listened clearly and knew what Emperor Wu meant.

He pursed his lips and whispered, "Your Majesty just wants to hide me like that?"

This is the first time that Bai Miao intuitively revealed the most acute problem between him and Emperor Wu.

After a moment of silence, it was Emperor Wu's voice.

"Yes."

"I can't wait to hold you in my arms so that no one can see."

"Golden House Cangjiao, this is the truest thought in my heart."

"But I'm also afraid, I'm afraid you will get tired of me because of it."

Emperor Wu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his eyes were stained with a layer of deepness, like the deep sea without the sun, remote and mysterious, filled with many emotions that Bai Miao couldn't understand, he continued:

"Miao Miao, I'm not a saint, I'm even just a tyrant with thousands of selfishness, but they are all on you."

"I originally wanted to keep you by my side for the rest of my life. If you wanted to escape, I would tie you up with a chain so that you would never be able to leave me."

"But I was afraid of seeing depression and sadness in your eyes, so I suppressed the evil thoughts in my heart."

"You said you wanted to move freely in the world, at that moment I really wanted to imprison you..."

"But your Majesty, you didn't do that, did you?" Bai Miao chuckled, and took Emperor Wu's hand, without the slightest resistance or fear in his expression, "Even if you want to lock me up, in the end you still want to lock me up because of me. mood, but chose to let go, didn't you?"

The two rhetorical "Isn't it?" just reflected Bai Miao's trust and his indulgent liking.

Tu Xiuting looked away unnaturally, and suddenly felt that he had lost his momentum in front of Bai Miao.

He could only pretend to be indifferent and said: "I just gave you a chance, if you can't grasp it, you still have to stay by my side in the future."

"Aren't I by His Majesty's side now?" Bai Miao pouted, and kissed Emperor Wu's chin on his feet.

"Here I am."

The man hugged the young man's waist, his tone seemed a bit weak, "But I'm still, still afraid."

In the past twenty years, Emperor Wu never felt that he would be afraid of anything, but after he had Bai Miao, he gradually became fearful.Bai Miao is his weakness, the reason for him to continue to become stronger, but also the treasure that makes him fear in vain.

Tu Xiuting always thinks about the different ways of being a monster, this is the first time he finds himself so worried.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid." Bai Miao vaguely guessed the panic in the man's heart, and he comforted him: "We still have many years to find a way, and I will always be with Your Majesty, unless one day is You don't want me now!"

"No, I don't want to."

"That's it! Life takes one step to know the next step, Your Majesty, we might as well enjoy ourselves in time!"

Emperor Wu suddenly hooked his lips, "Enjoy yourself in time?"

He purposely lowered his voice, biting the word "carpe diem" emphatically, with a slight, rippling spring feeling, which made Bai Miao's ears go numb when he heard it.

"His Majesty!"

Bai Miao was depressed, obviously he was still working hard to deliver chicken soup for the soul one second, how could he be molested by Emperor Wu the next second?

"Okay, I won't trouble you anymore." Tu Xiuting suddenly leaned over and kissed Bai Miao's forehead, and raised his hand to put a feather mask on the young boy's fair face.

The flowing feathers hang down on the side of the silver-haired boy's face, and his sacrificial robes have ancient style and characteristics, mysterious and simple, it is the most distant call from the wild.

Putting the fan into Bai Miao's palm, Emperor Wu said softly:

"Miaomiao, next, it's your home field."

Saying that, Emperor Wu stepped back slightly, but pushed and shoved Bai Miao's back with his hands.

Boom!

dong dong dong dong!

The drums that shook the world suddenly sounded, and as Bai Miao stepped out of the gauze curtain, the drums were also extremely loud.

In that deafening sound, Bai Miao's heart trembled, and something flashed in her glazed eyes.

He slowly lowered his gaze under the altar. Through the tulle, he could see the surprised and puzzled expressions of the people below. He also saw the eyes of people lingering on his silver hair, either curious or curious. It was fear, mixed with various emotions, which made it difficult for him to distinguish for a while.

Boom!

There was another earth-shattering drumbeat, followed by Bai Miao's familiar melody.

The ancient strings were plucked, and the sound of the drum was gradually neutralized and became softer. Dozens of boys and girls from the altar opened their mouths together, and a strange rhythm flowed from their mouths.

Under the control of body memory, Bai Miao moved.
