Chapter Two Sacrifice Conference
When Xiao Yu woke up, he suddenly found himself lying on the bed.
"Huh? Just now??? Am I dreaming?" Xiao Yu rubbed his temples, suddenly remembered what happened before he fell asleep, and hurriedly got up and ran out.
"rhubarb???"
Xiao Yu shouted, then looked around, there was nothing unusual outside the yard, it was still as quiet as usual, beside a tree in the yard, Rhubarb was sleeping soundly and soundly...
"How is this possible!? The rhubarb is clearly visible????"
He remembered that Su Ming brought a group of guards with knives to kill Rhubarb last night.
Xiao Yu was confused, is it really a dream?
But if it was a dream, wouldn't it be too real?
He walked up to Rhubarb, touched the sleeping Rhubarb, and recalled last night's unreal scene, his fists clenched unconsciously.
He took a deep breath. Whether it was a dream or a fact, he deeply understood that without strength, he could only let others trample on him!
In fact, Xiao Yu is not Xiao Yu's own son, according to what his parents said, he picked up Xiao Yu in the woods when he was out.
Of course, no matter whether it is from the Xiao family or not, my parents treat me as if they were my own.
Therefore, Xiao Yu has worked hard for so many years without giving up, in order to let the Xiao family compete with his parents.
"Tomorrow is the sacrificial meeting."
This is the last time Xiao Yu participated in the sacrificial meeting, because after today, he will be sixteen years old. According to the saying in the dynasty, as long as Xiao Yu can't step into the innate realm after the sacrificial meeting, then he will Really give up.
Xiao Yu didn't think so much, the night was very long, countless stars shone in the dark night, but one was particularly bright.
On the second day, the entire palace was decorated with lights and festoons, and it was very lively. The palaces, pavilions, and pavilions with red walls and red tiles all presented a lively scene.
In front of the main hall, there are many altars piled up one after another, holding many sacrificial offerings, such as chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, sheep and pigs...
Civil servants, military officials, princes and generals, princes and concubines, etc. countless people gathered here.
Because today is not only a grand ceremony for the whole country, but even the entire Chenbei Dynasty.
As large as a dynasty, as small as a city, town, or village will offer sacrifices.
Of course, the most exciting thing is the group of sixteen-year-old boys and girls.
"Look, isn't this the young Patriarch of the Xiao family?"
"Young Patriarch, he's just a sick man, and he's going to hold a pen after today."
"Hehe, I'm almost sixteen years old, and I still come to participate in the sacrificial ceremony. Does this count as an elderly cultivator? Haha, it's better not to be ashamed." Many princes, nobles, and children of our sons all mocked.
Xiao Yu kept a cold face and did not speak, even if it was the last chance, he would try it.
At this time, the Eighth Prince came over with Su Ming and the others, staring at Xiao Yu with haughty and contemptuous eyes.
"Xiao Yu, I didn't expect you to come too."
Xiao Yu's eyes turned cold, "Eighth Prince, the sacrificial ceremony itself is a universal celebration, how could I not come."
The Eighth Prince sneered and stared at Xiao Yu and said, "That's true, anyway, it's your last time, but I hope you don't buy it sadly, it's just a beast."
Xiao Yu frowned even more deeply, "I don't know what you're talking about."
After saying that, Xiao Yu turned around and left.
The Eighth Prince was very upset when he saw Xiao Yu's reaction. He originally wanted to use this to humiliate Xiao Yu.
"Hmph! Pretend, keep pretending! Once the sacrificial meeting is over, I will make it difficult for you!"
At this time, a girl with long hair hanging down her waist came over.
This girl was born slim and graceful, with a graceful figure. She was already slim and graceful when she was about fifteen years old, and her chest was well developed.
Especially her delicate appearance like a fish falling into a wild goose, lively with a unique temperament, and her sea green long hair attracted many wolf-like noble children.
At first glance, she must be a stunner who will bring disaster to the country and the people when she grows up. No, it should be said that she is now the embryo of a great beauty.
"Wow, Tang Linger is still so pretty."
"Hey, that's right, his father is a marshal! His strength is second only to His Majesty. If I can marry such a wife, I will definitely be honored!"
"Forget it, you, short and poor, still want to eat swan meat? If you want to choose, choose me, tall, rich and handsome!"
"roll!"
A group of people were discussing in low voices, but they didn't dare to approach her. Tang Linger ignored them and came to Xiao Yu's side.
"Xiao Yu." Tang Ling'er called out.
Xiao Yu saw the person coming, and nodded with a smile: "Ling'er, you are here too."
Tang Ling'er was the only one in the capital who took the initiative to talk to her and didn't dislike her at all.
It can be said that Tang Linger is the only human friend besides Rhubarb.
Tang Linger was just about to speak, when the Seventh Prince also came over, he completely ignored Xiao Yu's existence, but smiled and said to Tang Linger: "Linger, so you are here, I have some cultivation problems and I want to talk to you. You discuss it, why don't we find a place..."
Before the Seventh Prince finished speaking, Tang Linger refused, "No, let's do it another day."
The former smiled mischievously, and immediately cast a vicious glance at Xiao Yu. He knew it must be because of Xiao Yu.
"Xiao Yu, today is really a good day. You are here too. I thought you wouldn't wake up at the last sacrificial meeting."
Xiao Yu said: "This is my last chance, I must come."
"Hmph! Then I really hope you can wake up, otherwise, if you go to hold the pen, I will feel sorry for your Xiao family."
The Seventh Prince turned around and left. The servant beside him whispered, "Seventh Prince, Tang Linger seems to be focusing on Xiao Yu."
"Hmph! It's just a waste. After today's sacrificial meeting is over, he will become the laughing stock of the entire dynasty without me doing it! At that time, Tang Ling'er will leave him naturally?"
Tang Linger's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she encouraged: "Xiao Yu, leave them alone, you have to work hard."
Xiao Yu smiled slightly. In these years, except for Tang Linger, no one would talk to him like this again.
"I will."
Xiao Yu knew that in the dynasty, he had no strength, not to mention his brothers, even ordinary people outside would look down on him, he was used to these cynicism and alienation.
Soon the sacrificial meeting began.
After the sacrifice of the national teacher, the ladies of the court heard the songs and danced.
The sacrificial altar was filled with a lot of livestock, and the national teacher held it for a while, and all of these livestock turned into blood mist, which rushed straight into the sky, dyeing the entire sky's clouds red.
The teenagers who had reached the age stood on the square one after another. After a while, the crowd exclaimed, and they saw rays of light from the sky falling on those teenagers...
