MTL - The World of the Pirate Consort-Chapter 76
After the priest's prayer, he saw that Khan walked to the altar with great reverence, led the prairie people to kneel, prayed to the gods and Buddhas for the abundance of grains, and prayed for the peace of the country. Khan then announced loudly that he would offer a new offering this year.
There was a commotion behind the crowd I met, and then an official-like person I met took ten girls to the altar. It is also in white, with double hairpins, but looks like 13 or 14 years old, all with beautiful looks.
The original new offerings are these living girls, and another group of girls will often be accompanied by lone lamps.
Can I say that the stability of Beilu is still strong, do you have to rely on these girls to serve the gods and Buddhas? It is no wonder that the state of Beilu was established earlier than South Vietnam, but it was not as strong and developed as South Vietnam.
There seemed to be a low-drinking sob in the puppet crowd, because at this time the grassland was extremely quiet, so the depressed cry came to Khan's ears.
"Who is crying?" He turned abruptly and asked with a solemn voice.
A middle-aged woman was immediately pushed by Khan by several soldiers.
"Why are you crying?" Khan raised an eyebrow, his voice extremely cold.
The middle-aged woman was so scared that she did not dare to speak, but just knelt on the ground and kept hoeing.
"This is a great disrespect to God, pull it down and cut it off!" Khan exclaimed.
"Mother!" One of the ten young girls just sent up shouted that his mother also fell off the platform, kneeled in front of Khan, kept hoeing, begging, asking not to kill her mother, saying The mother-in-law just didn't want her to go to the "Tianyouyuan".
She frowned, this woman, is it the woman who wept in the tent last night she heard.
"Since your mother can't bear you and you don't want to go, then both of you mother and daughter, go to heaven to serve the gods and Buddhas together." Khan was furious.
"Khan is angry!" Only a soft and soft voice came, Yi Lengxue on the high platform slowly walked to Khan, "Khan, I don't know if this priest can tolerate two words."
"The priest has something to say, but it doesn't matter." Khan, who was still majestic and furious, only slightly looked at Yi Lengxue.
"Khan, serving the gods and Buddhas must be sincere and voluntary, why should Khan force her. Since this girl is unwilling, let her go back, what does Khan think!" Yi Lengxue had a pair of cool eyes, faint Watching Khan, he said slowly.
"Priest, how can these two people be easily dismissed because of their disrespect for the gods and Buddhas?" Khan raised an eyebrow.
"Khan, the gods and Buddhas are compassionate, and they will not blame them. Please also ask Khan to spare their mother and daughter, and the gods and Buddhas will also feel the kindness of Khan." Yi Lengxue said lightly, tone Not hurry, with a natural cold tone.
Khan Khan's sharp eyes glanced over Yi Lengxue's face, and he suddenly laughed, "The priest said so, then this Khan would die around them. Come, take them down."
The mother and daughter continually scratched their heads in gratitude, tears on their crying faces, and thanked Yi Lengxue again and again.
She was so surprised that Yi Lengxue persuaded Khan just a few words, which made her extremely surprised. It turned out that the words of the priest had such a great influence on the king of Beilu. However, since Khan believes in God and Buddha, it is understandable to believe the words of the priests.
In this way, the priests of Beilu Kingdom are also considered as important figures. Think about the influence that can influence the decision of Beilu Kingdom Khan. That right is not ordinary. She can give orders to Khan in the name of the deities.
A storm was intangible by Yi Lengxue in two words, and the sacrifice meeting continued. To the surprise, the next show turned out to be the selection of priests.
Did n’t he have the priest, Yi Lengxue, should he choose another one? Bewildered, he turned to look at Yun Qiang and chuckled, "Did you choose a priest?"
Yun Qiankang saw her doubts and narrowed her eyes with a smile: "You don't understand. This priest is chosen once every four years. Yi Lengxue has been done for four years. It is time to change priests. Seeing those gods Are the women in the court that they are going to challenge Yi Lengxue. If anyone beats Yi Lengxue, they will become a new generation of priests. If no one wins, the priest will still be Yi Lengxue. "
Frowning frantically, it sounds very interesting. "I don't know what they are going to compare?" Selter asked with interest.
"Qin chess, calligraphy and painting, bard music, light song and dance are all acceptable, no matter what kind of talent, as long as they can win the top spot, it is a new priest." Yun Qingkang whispered.
Alas, they could not help laughing a little, and it sounded like this was not the same as running for Hua Kui in the Qinglou. No wonder the prairie men are so embarrassed about Yi Lengxue as a priest, performing talents on the platform, how can it not be imaginative.
"However, it is not easy to beat Yi Lengxue. Yi Lengxue's previous generation of priests is also a peerless beauty. She has been reappointed four times as a priest. It was given to Yi Lengxue. "Yun Qing said with a frown.
"Such awesome?" Frosty raised his eyebrows, and Yi Lengxue was also a talented woman. "Have you ever seen Yi Lengxue's talent?"
Jin Yun shook his head lightly and madly, saying, "I didn't know she was four years ago, so I have never seen her before. Today, I will see if it is as versatile as rumored."
He smiled and bowed his head with a slight smile. Such a glorious city, coupled with talent, is a rare beauty in the world.
"Serving the gods and Buddhas is not just anyone. It must be a talented person." Yun Qing sighed and said lowly, there was a hint of mockery in his tone. "Some women in Beilu Country, Since childhood, my parents have been sent to the art gallery to practice various talents so that one day they can sit in the priesthood. "
"They are both willing to be priests?" His eyes were puzzled. Just to be a priest, he lost his life.
Jin Yun nodded frivolously, saying, "Like the mother and daughter just found, but a few, most of them are proud to be able to sit in the priesthood."
He slyly remembered Yi Yingxiang's so proud look when she mentioned her sister, and she could guess.
"If Yi Lengxue ceased to be a priest, would he be able to marry someone?" Seser asked.
Yun Qiang shook his head again and again and said, "No. Although he is no longer a priest, but after all he has served the gods and Buddhas, he can only die in Tianyouyuan. However, because he is no longer a priest, he is no longer everyone's attention. Character, if she wants to marry, she can slip out of Tianyouyuan quietly, as long as she conceals Tianyouyuan and the court, the world is so big, who can find her! "
I say this, Yi Lengxue and Ye smokeless still have hope. If she loses deliberately, she can no longer be a priest, so that she will have the opportunity to escape from Tianyouyuan and fly without smoke.
There was a sound of gongs and drums, and they looked up, but saw the crowds rushing towards the Yunshui River. Obviously, the priest election began. With the lightness of the cloud, Seir took Xiaoyu and the pendant, and also went with the flow of people.
Jinyunshui River, green trees emit smoke, tender flowers lightly blow, the wind blows from the river, bringing the cool water of the river.
In the shade of green, a high platform has been set up long ago. On the platform, there is a woman standing, talking about something. Below the high platform, there are many elegant seats. The Khan Dai family of the North Lu country and the nobles of the king are seated in the elegant seat, sitting in the front row without smoke at night.
They are in the crowd, looking up at the high platform. The woman who had just spoken clearly supported the event, only to hear her say loudly: "The competition has begun, please ask the girls to start performing in order." In other words, she stepped down slowly.
After a short while, she saw a white woman in Tianyouyuan come to the stage, with a beautiful appearance and a graceful temperament. She has two snare drums in her waist and two red drumsticks in her hand.
As soon as she saw it, she knew that the woman was going to perform a waist drum. Sure enough, the woman's water sleeves began to dance, and with the sound of cymbals, she was indescribably enchanting. Especially the constantly striking red drumsticks, set off in white, are extremely beautiful.
It is said that the women of Beilu are all able to sing and dance. Next, one after another the women came to the stage, all of which were their own talents for performing, dancing, playing the piano, playing the pipa ... there were many tricks.
However, none of these talents have entered the eyes, nor is it that they have high horizons. They really feel that their talents are average. Only the waist drum of the first woman and the song of a woman behind it were very impressive.
The last one to come on was the current priest, Ioleng Xue. What she wants to perform is Fuqin.
There was an attendant setting up Yaoqin for her, and Yi Lengxueyingying took a seat, nodding slightly towards the audience.
He looked up and looked, but found that Yi Lengxue turned out to be a guqin. Today, the lyre is a lyre and the guqin is a ukulele. The stringed **** of the ukulele is different from that of the current lyre, and the music is clearer and more vivid. It's just that many ancient genealogies have been lost, but I did not expect that Yi Lengxue would actually play Guqin. Not to mention whether she can play well, just because she plays the long-lost music, it makes people feel elegant.
I saw her flicking the sleeves of her sleeves and placing the ancient genealogy on the cases in front of her. The exquisite jade fingers fell gently on the strings, and a clear voice flowed instantly. With a frown, she seemed to be playing an ancient song-"National Wind".
It just sounded, but it felt very different from the national style that I heard. After playing for a while, Yi Lengxue felt a mistake. It was originally a small mistake. In the eyes of others, it may not be heard at all, but how can it be concealed. Every small leak, Yi Lengxue seemed to be aware of it, and tried his best to make up for it.
I think Yi Lengxue will deliberately lose, so he will deliberately make a mistake. It seems that Yi Lengxue is very affectionate about the smoke-free night. The whole song came down, but it was also beautiful and beautiful, like Xiaoxiang Shuiyun, with rhyme in the sky. If the spring water bites, it's outside the mountains.
