Chapter 361 Golden Whip Blood Sacrifice

Nan Xi clenched her hands, feeling shocked.

Rong Yu felt her fear and uneasiness, gently held her hand and said softly: "It's okay, don't worry."

Nan Xi bit her lip and looked at him, then slowly shook her head: "No."

"This is his punishment for me, for the mistakes I have made." Rong Yu said calmly, "This is what I deserve."

This was the price he had to pay for forcing himself against heaven.

They all knew in their hearts that the so-called rules of the priest's hall were only for the ministers below. Only he and the high priest knew the real reason.

The high priest who holds the will of the gods has too much dissatisfaction in his heart, and he needs to take this opportunity to vent his anger. Even a holy, noble and desireless person has been forced to anger, if not for the purpose of returning Dongling. In the Qingming Dynasty, if this was not his destiny, he would have prayed to the gods to make Rong Yu disappear into ashes. Who would help him reincarnate with his memory and find the former Empress Jinghua?

Rong Yu let go of Nan Xi's hand and raised his hand to undress.

In full view of everyone, this man with military power who was so powerful that everyone in the world was afraid of him, silently and calmly took off the jade pendant from his waist, untied his embroidered dragon-patterned robe that represented the identity of the emperor's husband and regent, and only wore a Wearing snow-white clothes, he knelt in front of the most sacred altar in the priest's hall, bearing the punishment that was two hundred years late.

The waiter stepped forward and reached out to take the robe, held it respectfully in his hands, and stepped aside.

In the spacious palace garden of the priest's hall, Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao looked at each other silently, the corners of their lips pursed slightly, and the solemn expressions between their brows and eyes could not be concealed.

The rules of the priest's house?

They didn't know if there were such rules in the priest's hall, because it took two hundred years for Dongling to give birth to a queen. They were not born two hundred years ago. They didn't know if the queen at that time would also have the honorable position of "husband and regent" after she ascended the throne. , I wonder if the imperial husband in charge of government affairs will also have to endure this blood sacrifice.

But no one dared to refute what the high priest said at this time.

In the sacred place of the Priest's Hall, the supreme imperial power has to give in, let alone others?

The golden whip can also be called the dragon whip. It is tough and sharp, a hundred times more powerful than ordinary whips. It was specially used to punish emperors and high priests who made big mistakes. However, for hundreds of years, this golden whip has been hanging in the main hall of the priest's palace. Above the plaque, the purpose of its existence is only to intimidate, and no one has ever really used it.

No one would lay a hand on the emperor or the high priest, regardless of whether they had committed a major mistake or not.

Rong Yu was the first person to be blessed with this golden whip.

Nan Xi was panicked and couldn't help but want to say something, but as a dull and sharp voice sounded, all the sounds in the world seemed to have disappeared, nothing else could be heard in her ears, and nothing else could be seen in her eyes. , only a streak of blood penetrated the back of the shoulder blade at a speed visible to the naked eye, reflecting in front of everyone's eyes in a coquettish and shocking way.

Nan Xi's face turned pale, and her eyes were fixed on Rong Yu's snow-white middle coat, which was stained red with blood. The blood on her face faded little by little, and it was almost the same color as the snow-white clothes.

It seemed as if she was the one to bear the harsh criticism, not Rong Yu.

Rong Yu reached out to hold her hand and said in a light and steady voice: "Xi'er, don't panic. There are many people watching below. The king of a country must maintain the most perfect manner."

Many people watching?

Nan Xi was slightly shaken, and felt a dull pain in her heart. A proud man like him had to endure such a punishment today under the gaze of thousands of subjects and dignitaries...

There was a loud roar!

The color of blood returned, adding another bloody mark on his back.

Every time the whip fell, there was a long mark stained with blood.

It was almost deathly quiet inside and outside the huge priest's hall.

Rong Yu pursed her thin lips and remained silent, her back straight and her slender body as steady as a rock.

However, in such a cold climate in winter, he was wearing only a thin middle coat, but there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his breath was getting short of breath.

Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao, among the ministers, frowned, their eyes falling on the bloodstains under the sun, their eyes full of worry.

They are all martial arts practitioners. Not only do they know the goods, but they also have excellent eyesight. The golden whip in the hand of the high priest is made of gold wire and is extremely powerful. Although it is a whip, it is more terrifying than the sharpest sword and is light. It can be disabling, or even fatal.

If the high priest is really cruel, I'm afraid...

The most important thing is that no one knows the extent and quantity of this "blood sacrifice". If something happens to the regent on the day of the coronation ceremony, the consequences will be disastrous.

Xie Jin's expression gradually became tense. Thinking of the envoys from other countries who were waiting to attend the grand ceremony and banquet in the imperial city at this time, and thinking of returning to the palace to continue the unfinished process after completing the blessing ceremony in the priest's hall, his eyebrows became more and more wrinkled. Danfeng's eyes were filled with deep worry.

Today's ceremony will be difficult to endure.

"Have you ever heard of the rules of blood sacrifice?"

An undetectable voice rang in his ears. Xie Jin turned to look at Xuanyuan Yao and shook his head slowly, "I never heard it."

"Does the high priest have any quarrel with the Lord?"

Xie Jin's heart skipped a beat, thinking of what had happened in the palace before, he whispered softly: "Could it be the ceremony for the canonization of the crown prince?"

At the canonization ceremony, the regent Rong Yu prevented Princess Feng from kneeling in front of the emperor and the ministers, and even had a little conflict with the high priest. If the high priest held a grudge for this matter, it would be too narrow-minded.

"It's not like that." Xuanyuan Yao concentrated on searching his memory and shook his head slowly, "But if I think about it carefully, the relationship between the high priest and the master is indeed not harmonious, and..."

He paused slightly, "I, the authentic son of the Dongling Royal Family, don't even know the name of the high priest, but the Lord does."

Xie Jin said calmly: "No one dares to call the high priest by his name. Even the emperor calls him high priest respectfully. Therefore, apart from the records in the priest's hall genealogy, it is normal for the subjects of Dongling not to know his name."

"The high priest is deeply respected by the subjects of Dongling. He should not take revenge for a little conflict." Xuanyuan Yao pondered, "But there does seem to be some unknown personal grudges between the Lord and him."

Xie Jindanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze fell on the figure in white clothes dyed with a seductive color. He frowned slightly: "When you return to the palace later, you let Chu Nanyi enter the palace. I don't know the extent of the injury of the Lord." Can you hold on until the end of the ceremony..."

"The high priest is too cruel." Xuanyuan Yao was slightly angry, "If it doesn't work, I will go and replace the master——"

"You?" Xie Jin turned to glance at him, "It's not that I look down on you, but I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the power of that golden whip."

Not to mention that everyone can go to the high altar if they want to?

Xuanyuan Yao frowned: "Then just watch like this?"

Xie Jin was silent for a moment: "This is the priest's hall, and the person who attacks the Lord is the high priest. Who dares to mess around?"

The author has something to say:

Anyone who does something wrong needs to pay some price, and he cannot be an exception just because he is the protagonist, because what he owes is the world and the country of Dongling. The high priest actually felt hatred and anger towards him, and had a helpless attitude. It was not mixed with personal grudges, but it did have intentional elements. Will add another chapter tonight.
