59|Shenwu Street Glimpse 2
by Jessie@AFNCCThis child was only about seven or eight years old, really thin and small. Falling down from such a high place, his tiny body trembled in his arm, like a newborn cub of some animal. However, in the gap of the messy bandage on his head, there was a huge black eye, which reflected a snow-white shadow, staring at him without blinking, as if he couldn’t see anything else.
Only to hear a burst of cold air in all directions, Xie Ren slightly raised his head, but a heart suddenly sank. Because, out of the corner of his eye suddenly swept, not far from the front of the ground, fell a golden thing.
The golden mask that covered his face, fell off.
Xie Ren landed in the center of Shenwu Street, the guard of honor was a few feet behind him, and had not yet traveled here. The samurai’s steady pace was disrupted by this sudden accident, the ladies of the flower scattering also showed fear, the golden carriage stopped, a few tall white horses raised their hooves and neighing, and a few discordant strings and fiddles were suddenly played. Some people left, some stayed, and the scene seemed to be getting out of control when they failed to unify their pace. The crowd on both sides of the street had not reacted yet, but the Lord of Immortal Music on the high building stood up at once and looked at his son’s figure with a concerned and grave expression.
He stood, the rest of the princes and nobles where else dare to sit? One after another stood up in fear and trepidation. The master of state’s ass has just put the stool sitting hot, this time again cold, is rapidly thinking about whether or not to immediately five body kneeling down to blame themselves, Qi Rong has jumped on the railing, rolled up his sleeves, angrily said: “What is it again? What’s going on? Why is the team in disarray? What are these losers doing? Are you all freeloaders who can’t even pull a horse?!”
The queen’s face was pale, her eyebrows knit lightly, and she hurriedly asked someone to pull him down again. Seeing the crowd began to vaguely riot, a big mess will be riot, is at this time, Xie Ren Huo然起身.
On weekdays, the noble prince is hidden in the palace, or hidden in the royal dojo meditation, almost no opportunity to show his face in front of the people. This is an unprecedented first time, by yes, the crowd can not help but be attracted to him, looked over. This look, and can not help but slightly hold their breath. Only see that young man long eyebrows, handsome, a glory, dazzling, so that people do not dare to look at. He held the child in one hand, the other hand holding the sword slowly raised, pointing to the Hua platform above.
That demon was originally on the stage overlooking the state of affairs below, and seeing this move, he paused for a moment and suddenly planted his foot a little.
The crowd gasped as the demon’s figure, like a black cloud, swept through mid-air and flew to the pillar where the long blade had been dislodged and nailed into by the party, gripping the hilt of the blade and pulling it out with cracks bursting out of the stone, then flipping over and leaping, landing in the center of the street, before the martial artists.
Seeing that he instantly understood what he meant and came over to cooperate, Xie Ren gave a low praise, “Good Muxiang!”
This time, both the Yue Shen martial artists and the demons stepped down. A black and a white, a sword and a knife, finally faced each other once again, and the crowd’s blood surged and boiled once again as well. On the high floor, the faces of the nobles also soothed in unison, finally looking better.
The demon made a gesture to behead the young child held in the martial artist’s arms, and with both hands gripping his sword, he slashed at Xie Ren with his long blade. The two pretended to dismantle it a few times, fighting and re-flying back to the Hua platform. Feng Xin took advantage of the diversion of the crowd’s attention and rolled across the street, grabbing his mask before rushing into the ceremonial formation and shouting in a low voice, “Don’t mess up the formation! Don’t mess up! Pretend nothing has happened and keep walking! Finish this round and then go back to the palace!”
Several people in the ceremonial formation hastily collected their minds, returned to their respective positions and regained their composure. Over there, once back on the stage, the Mu love attacked even more fiercely, Xie Ren “clang” received a number of knives, at this time, but heard the child in his arms “ah”, thought to be wrapped in the sword in the sword Qi, scared very much. Xie Ren hugged him tightly with his left hand and said in a deep voice: “Don’t be afraid!”
At those words, the young child grabbed the clothes on his chest. Xie Ren held a child in one hand and used his sword with the other, and was able to do so with ease. After dismantling the sword for a while, he felt that the child in his arms raised his hand tremblingly again, and hugged his shoulder as if he was holding a life-saving straw, and said, “It’s alright, nothing will hurt you.”
When he finished speaking, he let out a low shout, “Muyi!”
The demon on the opposite side gave a faintly unnoticeable nod, and Xie Ren thrust out his sword.
Thus, before all eyes were on him, the Yue Shen martial artist finally put a sword through the demon’s heart and killed him on the spot!
Mu love wearing a demon mask, covering the “wound”, staggering back a few steps, struggling for a moment, finally “bang” fell to the ground, motionless.
Qi Rong laughed loudly upstairs and clapped his hands, “Dead! It’s dead! Cousin Prince has killed the demon!”
Meanwhile, the vast procession of the heavenly sacrifice tour continued to march towards the palace, and had already wrapped up and was ready to enter the palace gate way. Due to the timely remedy and exciting plot, the people did not complain but were more enthusiastic after such an unexpected episode. Countless people shouted “Your Highness” and “God of Heaven”, and followed Huadai by tens of thousands, all flocking towards the palace. Several generals had to send several times more warriors and soldiers to stop these over-exuberant people. However, in the end, they were unable to stop them, and the tide of people broke through the defense line and swarmed to the palace.
The Lord of the Kingdom of Xianle said from a high building, “Guards! Samurai!”
At that exact moment, the entire hundreds of people in the honor guard had all entered the palace gateway, the vermilion gates rolled shut behind Huatai, and the fluttering colorful flags no longer fluttered. The hundreds of people pounced on the door, pouncing on the door, the sound of door slapping and cheering all shook the sky.
Within the closed palace gate, on top of the Chinese platform, “clang” two sounds, the white-clothed Yue Shen martial artist and the black-clothed demon, both threw away their weapons, heavily paralyzed on the ground.
Xie Ren, drenched in sweat, ripped away the layers of gorgeous divine clothing, let out a long breath, and said, “So close, so close. Exhausted me.”
Muoi also took off the heavy demon mask and let out a silent breath, but did not cry out of tiredness.
When he turned his head, he saw that Xie Ren was still holding the toddler in his hands and frowned. Feng Xin, however, ran after Hua Tai from below and said, “Your Highness, why did you bring this child in?”
The young child was lying on Xie Ren’s chest, stiffening his tiny body, not moving, not daring to utter a single breath. Xie Ren sat up and said, “If you don’t bring it in, will you just leave it outside? The streets are so chaotic, such a small one, put it down for a while and it will be trampled to death.”
After saying that, he picked up the toddler in his arms and casually touched this little head twice, saying, “Little friend, how old are you?”
The boy’s eyes didn’t blink and his mouth didn’t utter a word. Xie Ren continued to ask him, coaxing, “How did you fall down just now?”
Mu Qi said, “Your Highness, this child is afraid that he doesn’t dare to speak and is stunned.”
Xie Ren touched the toddler’s head two more times, felt that the child was dull and uninteresting, stopped touching and commented, “Silly. Feng Xin, later you find someone to take him out through the side door, see if he is injured, his face is wrapped in bandages.”
Windsong reached out and said, “Good. Pass him over.”
Xie Ren then picked up the toddler and handed it over. Who knows, it didn’t get handed over, and Feng Xin said, “Your Highness, why don’t you let go?”
Xie Ren said strangely, “I let go ah?” Then he looked down and laughed and laughed, but it turned out to be one of the child’s hands, which had tightly grasped the hem of his coat and didn’t let go of it.
A few people were stunned, and immediately laughed out loud. Xie Ren in Huangji Guan cultivation, how many good men and women, or to see a rare, or because of the faith in the heart, to see His Royal Highness a side of the Prince racked his brain, exhausting the effort, see him one side, would like to see him again a second time, and would like to do Taoist priests with him only good. I didn’t expect this little kid to be quite like this at such a young age. At the side of Huatai to protect the law there are a number of small Taoist priests who are also practicing in Huangji Guan, they have laughed and said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, this child does not want to go!”
Xie Ren laughed, “Really? That won’t do, I have to do my own thing, kids go home.”
Upon hearing this, the child finally slowly loosened his hand, no longer grasping his clothes, and Feng Xin then fished him out. The child was lifted in Feng Xin’s hand, but his big black eyes were still staring straight at Xie Ren. It was almost as if he was possessed by a ghost. Seeing this, many of the Daoists muttered in their hearts. Xie Ren, however, didn’t even look at the kid anymore and only said to Feng Xin, “Don’t carry him like rags, you’re scaring the kids.”
Feng Xin then placed the young child on the ground and said, “Don’t laugh. The State Master is going crazy, Your Highness, you’d better think about how you’re going to explain later.”
At that, everyone really stopped laughing.
Half an hour later. Imperial Extreme View, Divine Martial Peak, Divine Martial Hall.
Incense clouds surrounded the room, and the chanting of sutras was loud. The State Master and the three Vice State Masters were sitting on one side of the main hall, their faces filled with sadness, and Mu Qing was in front of them. Xie Ren was also kneeling. Only, there was no one in the direction he was kneeling, just the golden statue of Divine Martial Emperor. Feng Xin, on the other hand, knelt behind him from the Lord.
The State Master picked up the elaborately carved gold mask, and after a long time, he sighed with a sigh, “Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince.”
Even if she was kneeling, Xie Ren knelt straight and said with her head held high, “In.”
The State Master was pained and said, “Do you know that in the history of the Xianle Kingdom, so many Shangyuan Ritual Tours have been held, and there has never been one where the ceremonial scepter platform has only gone around the city three times. Three laps!”
Every ceremony and every arrangement of the Shangyuan Heavenly Sacrifice Tour has a metaphorical meaning behind it. The Huatai’s circle around the city symbolizes a year of praying for the country’s prosperity and peace of mind, so for as many times as the last Shangyuan Festival Tour went around, there would be as many years as there was no need for such a huge event to be held again. Not only good omen, but also save money. Three laps, does not it mean that it can only be guaranteed for three years?
And, to top it off, the golden mask on the face of the Yue Shen martial artist had fallen off on the way to the festival.
The Xianle people have believed since ancient times that the aura of the human body gathers in the five senses, and that the head and face are where one’s divine soul resides, and that one must offer the best to the heavens, which is why, on the way to the ceremony, the martial artist must wear a gold mask to cover his face, because his face can only be appreciated by the Immortals and Gods of the Heavens, and that mere mortals are not qualified to see it.
The State Master hated the iron and said, ”In the past, the Yue Shen martial artists had a minimum of five laps to protect the bottom, and the most they could do was to hold up fifteen or sixteen laps, how about you? You can even walk fifty laps with your eyes closed! A hundred laps! As a result, you strangled yourself to death on the third lap – why didn’t you strangle your master first? This is great, Your Highness, you’re going to go down in history, and I’m going to go down in history with you!”
In the great hall, no one dared to speak. Xie Ren, however, looked calm and said calmly, “State Master, why don’t you look at it this way. If that child falls to his death and no one picks him up, wouldn’t it also be an ominous sign if blood is splattered on the spot during the Heavenly Sacrifice Tour? Wouldn’t the ceremony be interrupted all the same? Nowadays, at least ending it in a more honorable manner was already the best outcome. To have something like this happen can only be described as an accident, right?”
The State Master was speechless for a moment, then said, ”You child! There are so many royal warriors present, can any one of them still catch it? Even if they can’t catch it well enough to break an arm or leg, they won’t die. You take a few more steps forward, fight beautifully, and in a moment no one will care what just fell.”
Xie Ren, however, raised an eyebrow and said, “State Master, you know. In that situation, apart from me, there couldn’t be a second person who could react, nor would there be a second person who could catch him unharmed. If you don’t catch it, one dies, if you catch it, two die.”
His tone was rightful and very certain. The state masters were also clear that he was telling the truth, so they could not refute it. Look at him kneeling in front of the idol, but completely not take it seriously, and is curious, and is funny, and is proud. This precious disciple Jin Gui’er, across the board can’t get angry with him, also can only grips a few handfuls of hair, with the sharp pain of the scalp to cover up the sadness in the heart. After a pause, the State Master added: “And!”
Xie Ren slightly hung his head and said, “Apprentice is listening.”
The State Master said: ”You went on the field today and did a good job. But no matter how good it is, you can’t just suddenly change it without even saying hello in advance; both His Majesty and the Queen have given you enough of a scare today. Do you know what will become of you in case you don’t make it to the hour?”
Xie Ren’s long eyebrows raised, and he curiously said, “State Master, this matter, didn’t I ask you about it before today?”
The State Master was also stunned and said, “You asked me? Before today? When?”
At those words, Xie Ren stared, looked aside, and said, “Mu情?”
