wine color

The process of so-called sacrificial offerings is roughly the same. When the night is as bright as ink and the stars are shining brightly, a bonfire is lit, and the pure girls first offer tribute to the gods, and then the high priest recites a hymn dedicated to the gods devoutly. Nan Qingxiao appeared in the penultimate link. His task was to recite a hymn dedicated to the Dionysus silently in front of the big snake waking up from the water, and then pour the wine jar by jar into the lake by himself, and then wait for the big snake Drunk, if the big snake is drunk, it means the sacrifice is successful, and people will celebrate around the bonfire, if the big snake is not drunk, then naturally the whole people will suffer.

Su Junyi stood at his own position, turning a deaf ear to the high priest's chanting, he just stared at the lake, waiting to see what the big snake looked like, and the people in Huangzhong area could enshrine it For the gods.

When the high priest's hymn was recited two-thirds of the way, the sound of a flute suddenly came to mind by the lake, a sound Nan Qingxiao was not familiar with.

"That's the snake flute, specially made by people in Huangzhong, specially used to invite the Dionysus." Chu Shihaotian, who was standing beside Nan Qingxiao, explained in a low voice.

Please Dionysus?Nan Qingxiao sneered.But this kind of sound is just enough to wake up the big snake, so what else do you want?

The sound of the flute lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and finally there was movement on the lake. A thick dark golden snake broke through the water. Its body was as high as four or five people, and a pair of blood-red eyes looked down at everyone with a sharp light.

Nan Qingxiao laughed again.With a golden body and red eyes, just judging by the size of the big snake, I am afraid that it has lived for many years, especially with some aura in the eyes. No wonder people in Huangzhong regard this snake as a god.

The moment he saw the big snake, Uncle Luo, who was standing behind Nan Qingxiao, quietly held Nan Qingxiao's hand.This snake is so big, can Qing Xiao handle it?

"Aren't you afraid?" Chu Shihaotian turned his head to look at Nan Qingxiao, only to find that Nan Qingxiao's face was only sarcasm, and there was nothing but stability. Facing such a behemoth, he was not afraid at all?

"What are you afraid of? It's just a beast!" His mother was eaten by this beast, right?Nan Qingxiao narrowed her eyes, and clenched the dagger in her other hand.

Chu Shihaotian's eyes tightened, and then he looked at the big snake pretending to be nonchalant.No matter what god it is enshrined in, it can only live until today!This nonsense belief in Huangzhong must be destroyed by himself today, and revenge for killing his sister will be avenged today!

"It's my time, Ah Shi." Nan Qingxiao was shocked when his name was suddenly called, then he let out a long sigh of relief, whispered something softly, and stepped forward resolutely.

"En." Uncle Luo let go of Nan Qingxiao's hand, and stood quietly on the spot, looking at Nan Qingxiao's tall and firm back.

Chu Shihao raised his eyebrows, and glanced curiously at the follower named Ah Shi, wondering why Nan Qingxiao wanted to say hello to this boy before leaving.But Chu Shi Haotian would not chat with a follower, so he decided to wait for Nan Qingxiao to come back.

Nan Qingxiao leisurely and calmly walked to the edge of the lake, and stopped at a place where she could still see the snake's head when she raised her head. Instead of kneeling piously as she was told, she just stood there straight and silently recited the hymn .

The Seventh Minister of Huangzhong was taken aback, and wanted to reprimand Nan Qingxiao for being disrespectful, but he didn't dare to make a loud noise in front of the "Bacchus", because someone once made a loud noise at the sacrifice and was eaten by the "Bacchus" on the spot, so he never After that, no matter who made any mistakes in the sacrifice, as long as the "Dionysus" had no objection, no one else would speak out, and the seven ministers tacitly left all the accusations behind the sacrifice.

I don't know if it was because someone he didn't know appeared in front of him, but the aura-like master bowed his head curiously, and leaned closer to Nan Qingxiao to smell it.

Uncle Luo's body froze, he stared intently at the big golden snake, wishing he could give up all his plans and slaughter the beast immediately, watching Qingxiao commit a crime like this was simply a kind of torture for him.But Uncle Luo chose to endure it.

Nan Qingxiao perfunctorily finished reciting the hymn silently, and with the help of a group of young girls, poured jar after jar of the wine she had brewed by herself into the lake, feeling distressed while pouring.Xiu Zhu always said that the wine he brewed by himself was priceless, if he knew that he was filling the lake with wine, Xiu Zhu would definitely poison him to death with the most poisonous poison.After imagining such a plot in his mind, Nan Qingxiao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

I don't know if it was because of the smell of wine, but the big snake staggered back into the lake.

After pouring the last jug of wine into the lake, Nan Qingxiao immediately stood up, protecting a group of young girls and retreating.

The girls were a little dazed, they were going to participate in the next human sacrifice, and in the process that the priest told them, there was no such thing as retreating, but looking at Nan Qingxiao's determined side face, the girls couldn't help it. Knowing whether to ask or not.Facing such a terrifying "Dionysus", their hands and feet were trembling all the time, and they had long since lost their minds. Now that they hesitated, Nan Qingxiao pushed them back a long way.

"Roar!" About a quarter of an hour later, the dark golden snake suddenly burst out of the lake, roaring and writhing in pain.

"Back!" Nan Qingxiao was stunned, then suddenly shouted, shouting back, but she clenched the dagger tightly and charged towards the big snake.

"Qing Xiao!" Uncle Luo was also startled, hurriedly whistled loudly, and jumped out.

"Did the medicine go wrong? It shouldn't have this effect!" Chu Shi Haotian was also flustered for a while, and rushed up hastily without caring about anything else.

"Oh my god... what's wrong with this? Stop it, you three stop it!" The seventh minister was dumbfounded at first, but when he came back to his senses, he found three people wielding swords and attacking the "Bacchus". Dionysus" disrespect!How can this be!

"Minister Seven, please back off!" Regardless of whether it was just a simple big snake or a "Bacchus" who went crazy, the dead warriors of the Seventh Minister only knew that there was danger here, and their mission was only to protect the safety of the Seventh Minister, so a group of The dead man ignored the seventh minister's desire to protect the "Dionysus" and forcibly protected the seventh minister to retreat.

"The bow and arrow team will step forward, and the rest of the people will surround this place!" Hearing Uncle Luo's signal, King Gongchun, who had been ambushing around, immediately led his army to appear, and controlled the people in an orderly manner while the people in Huangzhong were still in chaos. Lived at the scene, "Huangzhong has kept such a beast all the time, how audacious!" Looking at the big golden snake fighting with Nan Qingxiao in the lake, King Gongchun had to feel sorry for the courage and stupidity of the people in Huangzhong. applaud.If it were him, having such a beast next to his house would definitely make him sleepless, and he would have no peace of mind if he didn't kill him, for fear of being killed by this beast. However, the people of Huangzhong have lived with this beast for decades, and their courage is extraordinary. Ordinary people are comparable! "Bring the bow and arrow!"

Seeing Nan Qingxiao flying up and down with the other two, King Gongchun's heart almost jumped out.That brat Nan Qingxiao, does he know how much his three-legged cat's kung fu is?What is he doing to join in the fun!

"My lord." King Gongchun gave an order, and immediately someone offered King Gongchun's bow and arrow with both hands.

King Gongchun rode on the horseback, took the bow and arrow and drew the bow neatly, aimed at one eye of the big snake, and released the arrow!

King Gongchun was born on the battlefield, with superb swordsmanship, and even bows and arrows can hit a hundred shots, so King Gongchun's arrow hit the target without a doubt.

"It's so timely!" Suddenly a feathered arrow pierced the big snake's right eye, Nan Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, and then thought of King Gong Chun who was ambushing nearby.This prince is really so reliable at all times.

"Hmph!" Uncle Luo felt displeased with the smile on Nan Qingxiao's face, he let out a cold snort and then shot up into the sky, swiping his sword towards the big snake's seven inches.

"Uncle Shi!" Nan Qingxiao was startled, and quickly followed.

"Don't let older people jump up and down..." Chu Shihaotian complained and rushed up, although he didn't want to do such a dangerous thing, but he took the medicine, even if he didn't know why the medicine became so effective Strange, he also has to be responsible, he is a responsible man!

With King Gongchun's arrow, the three of them quickly took care of the big snake. Seeing the dark golden snake with a different head slowly sinking to the bottom of the lake, Nan Qingxiao let out a breath of foul air.

"Qing Xiao, are you alright?" King Gong Chun ran over with a worried expression on his face, held Nan Qing Xiao's shoulder up and down and looked Nan Qing Xiao up and down.

"It's okay, fortunately the prince came in time."

"Huh... you kid, you like to do things that make people worry." King Gongchun flicked Nan Qingxiao's forehead affectionately, "Forget it, who is this?" King Gongchun thought that Nan Qing There is only Uncle Luo helping Xiao by his side, why is there another one?

"This is my uncle."

"Hi, my lord." Chu Shihaotian bowed slightly to show respect.Even in Huangzhong, Chu Shihaotian had heard of the prestige of King Gongchun, but in Huangzhong, they didn't worship King Gongchun so deeply.

"Uncle? Haha, that's it." King Gongchun rolled his eyes and laughed heartily three times.

What's the prince's idea?Uncle Luo raised his brows lightly, and took Nan Qingxiao's hand.

"My lord, this is the place where Qingxiao's mother grew up, and it is also the place where she passed away. May I ask my lord for permission..."

"Yes, yes, you two, go, this uncle, come with me!"

With a wave of King Gongchun's hand, Uncle Luo pulled Nan Qingxiao away quickly. Chu Shihaotian was dragged away by King Gongchun inexplicably, and the result was that he and King Gongchun had to deal with the seven ministers of Huangzhong and those old people with rigid thinking. What a miserable life!
