Chapter 647

~7 min read 1,259 words

"Now, let's save some physical strength; let people send Your Majesty up in a sedan chair."

The Moon Goddess then turned her head and said to Made Ying Zheng.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Eunuch Zhuo's eyes immediately lit up.

He had thought of this idea, but he could not say it because he was just an ordinary eunuch.

But the State Preceptor was different; her words carried a lot of weight.

Made Ying Zheng nodded gently, and Eunuch Zhuo immediately had his subordinates bring over a sedan chair.

The road ahead was exceptionally smooth.

Those civil and military officials all followed behind Made Ying Zheng's sedan chair, slowly climbing toward the top of the mountain.

The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the more some people's bodies slowly began to be unable to handle it.

They finally felt the pain that Made Ying Zheng had experienced before.

But just now, they had not wanted Made Ying Zheng to go up in a sedan chair.

Thinking of this, those civil and military officials who could not hold on anymore did not dare to open their mouths.

They were afraid that if they opened their mouths, they would be disliked by His Majesty.

The previously aged Lord Liu was even more so among them; being aged, he was now panting like a broken bellows.

Eunuch Zhuo naturally saw the commotion behind him.

But he did not intend to tell Made Ying Zheng.

After all, he had suggested letting Lord Liu rest before, but Lord Liu had not thought so.

When the sun was at its peak, this group of people finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

As soon as they arrived at the top of the mountain, they saw a piece of open flat ground.

And on this open flat ground, there was even a platform more than ten zhang high.

Looking at this appearance, this platform should be the place where the witch danced.

All kinds of musical instruments and sacrificial offerings had long been placed in the designated positions.

And there were already some servants prepared in the surroundings here.

Ever since the Moon Goddess arrived at the top of the mountain, she turned and left.

When she appeared before everyone again, she immediately attracted everyone's gaze.

Having taken off the dignified State Preceptor robes and put on somewhat enchanting witch robes,

suddenly, two feelings of holiness and enchantment appeared on her alone.

And the Moon Goddess fused these two feelings perfectly.

Two opposite feelings did not have a single hint of abruptness on her.

Below, the gazes of those civil and military officials were immediately attracted by the Moon Goddess, staring blankly at the Moon Goddess on the stage.

They had never seen such an appearance of the State Preceptor before.

They did not expect that such a dignified State Preceptor would possess such a graceful figure.

A hint of turbidity even appeared in the gazes of some people.

But subsequently, thinking of the Moon Goddess's identity, this turbidity was immediately suppressed.

The State Preceptor was not someone they could easily offend...

Not to mention the State Preceptor's means and influence, just based on the State Preceptor's strength alone, they were not her opponents.

Hearing Ying Mo's gaze also fell on the Moon Goddess.

He was also seeing for the first time a woman who fused two feelings together so perfectly.

A hint of amazement appeared in his gaze.

Since coming to this world, he had known who was in this world.

But his understanding of these characters had always been in that one-sided state.

When a person appeared alive before him, that feeling was completely different.

Just like the Moon Goddess at this moment.

Previously, Hearing Ying Mo had always felt that the Moon Goddess was somewhat mysterious.

After becoming the ghost he was now, he thought that as long as he saw the Moon Goddess, he could expose the mystery on her.

But he did not expect,

every time he saw the Moon Goddess, he felt that the mystery on her increased by a few points.

Truly an interesting woman.

Lu Li beside him also saw the Moon Goddess, and fluctuations appeared in her eyes.

Lu Li was also a hot woman with a graceful figure.

And her personality was the same as the Moon Goddess's, both belonging to that kind of cold personality.

Lu Li had always thought that as long as she was by Hearing Ying Mo's side, Hearing Ying Mo would not look at other women.

But upon seeing the Moon Goddess, a hint of uncertainty suddenly surged in Lu Li's heart.

She turned her head and looked slightly at Hearing Ying Mo.

But she discovered that Hearing Ying Mo's gaze was fixed tightly on the Moon Goddess, seeming to even carry a hint of appreciation.

Lu Li's heart suddenly felt as if it had been pinched by someone.

There was a sense of panic, and there was also a sense of heartache.

She did not know what this feeling was.

She closed her eyes, slowly recovered her mood, and her expression became cold again.

And among these people, the only one unaffected was Made Ying Zheng on the stage.

Made Ying Zheng's gaze swept past the Moon Goddess lightly.

It was as if the Moon Goddess had always been like this.

The officials below had long known that His Majesty did not get close to women.

But they did not expect His Majesty to have such composure, being able to turn a blind eye to such a State Preceptor.

And the Moon Goddess had already stood firm on the high platform.

The gazes below had long since become something she was accustomed to.

288. A Whole Day, Prayer Ceremony! (Please subscribe!)

"Dong..."

A dull and melodious bell sound rang out.

When this bell sound rang out, solemn and grave expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

The sacrifice began.

Subsequently, there was the second bell sound, the third bell sound.

Three waves of hollow sounds traveled through the entire Zhong Shan.

When the third bell sound fell, the priest standing on the side of the crowd began to sing an ancient ballad carrying a mysterious color.

As the singing echoed in their ears, the expressions on everyone's faces became even more solemn.

Accompanying the singing and beginning to move was the Moon Goddess on the sacrificial platform.

The Moon Goddess's body began to twist slowly.

At this moment, her dance steps were full of enchantment, but not a single person's attention was focused on her.

When the priest finished singing the entire prayer song, he immediately handed the incense in his hand to Made Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, it is time for you to offer incense."

Made Ying Zheng took the incense passed over by the priest and studied it before his eyes for a moment.

After confirming that there was no problem, he looked at the high sacrificial platform.

"Great Qin has had a great drought for two years since two winters ago, and the Northwest Territory is exhausted. Today, I carry the will of the ten thousand people and specifically come here to pray, wishing to move the God of Zhong Shan to bring down the divine rain."

Made Ying Zheng stared at the sacrificial platform in front and said word by word.

His voice was exceptionally majestic, and at this moment, the scene was exceptionally solemn.

After saying all the words, he bowed heavily toward the incense table in front.
