"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, empress, thousand years, prince, thousand years..." The loud and clear voice echoed in the entire square over and over again.
It was the first time for Wu Ruo to see such a big battle. At a glance, everyone in the square was kneeling on the ground.
From the end of the square to the ancestral ancestral hall, there is a mile-long road. When you look up, you can see the tall and magnificent palace standing in the snow.
On the sacrificial altar in front of the main hall, a large group of royal family members in dark purple official attire had already stood upright and waited for the emperor and the others to come over.
When the emperor's peers or the emperor's juniors saw the emperor walking up to the altar, Huihui bowed and saluted: "I have seen the emperor and the empress..."
Then, the emperor led the empress and the empress to salute the senior ancestors.
After saluting, each stood in his own position, and when everyone stood up, the emperor turned around, raised his hand majestically, and said to the civil and military officials, "Peace.
"Thank you, Emperor."
All the officials stood up at the same time and looked at Wu Ruo on the altar.
Many ministers have already heard about the Crown Princess, but this is the first time they have actually seen her in person. The beauty and handsome appearance and outstanding temperament made all the officials feel satisfied. They all felt that they were very suitable for their Crown Prince, and at the same time felt very sorry , thinking that it would be great if it was a girl, and it would surely spread a good story for the future.
Lou Qingluo, who was standing inside the Baiguan, heard other ministers whispering that the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince were very close, but unfortunately it was a girl, and felt bitter and jealous. Hei Xuanyi and Wu Ruo on the altar really matched each other , even he felt that they were a match made in heaven.
The emperor's sharp eyes scanned everyone: "The new year is approaching..."
As soon as Wu Ruo heard it, she knew that the emperor was going to say a lengthy sentence. She looked away from the emperor's back and looked at the square. From the snow-white ground, several places were stained with blood red. It can be seen that not long ago, In the square, there was a fierce fight, so it was exchanged for the current short-term peace.
King Li under the altar heard the emperor's speech and was about to finish speaking, but the surroundings were still so calm, he couldn't help but frowned.
After the emperor's words were spoken, the Great Spiritualist stood up, but when he opened his mouth, he heard the sound of fighting outside the ancestral ancestral hall, making a booming sound.
Someone yelled, "The old clan has come in."
All the officials frowned and turned their heads. Seeing that the guards were struggling to resist the old clansmen, everyone started talking.
"People from the old clan finally broke in."
"Being able to get in before the sacrifice shows that their people are still very powerful."
"Fortunately, the old clan can't see the light in the daytime, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as just breaking in."
"Then do you want to continue the sacrifice?"
All the officials turned their heads to look at the altar,
Seeing that the hour had passed, the great spirit master decided to omit the lengthy sacrificial words and start the sacrifice: "The ceremony begins."
The boys on the sacrificial altar threw paper money into the sky. Under the blowing of the strong wind, the paper money instantly scattered, like white snow, scattered in every corner of the square.
The emperor turned around with everyone, facing the hall.
The great spiritual master recited sacrificial words that no one could understand. There were ten young spiritual masters dancing beside him, and the candlelight on the altar seemed to feel the lively atmosphere. The candlelight became more and more prosperous. Rejoice in my heart, which means it is a good sign.
When the old clan was still half a mile away from all the officials, the Great Spiritualist handed over three incense sticks lit with money paper to the emperor.
"Worship the gods, and may the gods bless the Necromancer Kingdom with good weather, prosperity and prosperity..."
The emperor held three big incense sticks, bent down slightly, and bowed respectfully.
The royal family behind them is not simple, they need to do a few complicated sacrificial movements to bend over and worship. Since everyone worships every year, everyone's movements are very uniform, and there is no fast motion or slow motion.
Wu Ruo secretly rejoiced that Hei Xuanyi asked the great spiritual master to teach him the sacrificial movements of worshiping three times, otherwise, he would not be able to stand or worship.
Dandan and Xiaoxiao standing next to him were less than three years old, so they skipped the sacrificial gestures and simply bowed down to the adults, and the same was true for other children under three years old.
The civil and military officials under the sacrificial stage also bent down after the royal family worshiped the gods.
"Second obeisance to the ancestors, I hope that the ancestors of the Hei family will bless the descendants to successfully break the curse, so that the people of the Necromancer Kingdom can see the light again..."
The emperor held up the three incense sticks again, and the movement of worshiping the ancestors for the second time was different. After Wu Ruo calmly performed the skilled movements, he bent over for a moment and saw that the candle flames were brighter.
"Three worships to the priests of the underworld..."
After the three worships, the great spiritual master hurriedly asked the emperor to slaughter the animals and sprinkle blood and wine, and then asked the emperor to put three sticks of incense in the censer.
Seeing that the incense has not been broken or extinguished, everyone smiled happily.
Suddenly, a magic weapon flew over and cut off the three big incense sticks. Immediately afterwards, the candle flames on the altar went out instantly as agreed.
The great spirit master's face darkened: "The people of the old clan made the gods angry--"
When the emperor saw that the old clan was gone, the junior officials in front of the ranks of hundreds of officials started to fight, and said angrily: "All officials, civil and military, obey orders, and do not hesitate to kill them."
The military officers drew out their swords and rushed forward.
The civil servants who could fight also participated in the fight, and those who couldn't fight hid or ran in the direction of the formation, and used the formation to teleport back to the dungeon.
Hei Xuanyi immediately ordered the hidden guards to escort all the children here back to the palace.
King Li Jun, who was fighting with the old tribe, saw dozens of guards escorting the children to the yard, and felt very anxious and strange. The prince's children were killed, but why hasn't anyone appeared yet
The king of Lijun slapped away the old clan who was entangled with him, and went to find his own people who had mixed in with the old clan. They made an appointment early in the morning to wait at the door of the backyard on the right hand side of the sacrificial altar.
When he saw his own people, he pretended to fight with them, until there was no one left, and told them to kill Dandan and Xiaoxiao, and then asked the people who stayed behind, "Where are the people from Wuxuan Pavilion?"
His staff asked strangely: "Didn't they sneak into the ancestral hall and hide under the altar early in the morning?"
"It stands to reason that it was arranged in this way. I also told them that after half of the sacrifice, they rushed out to kill the children when they were unprepared, but now there is no one." Prince Li had a vague premonition.
"Could it be that they didn't sneak in, or they couldn't find a chance to attack? Or they are still hiding in the ring and can't come out."
"Based on their past brutal style, they will not be cowardly, and it is impossible for them to take action for a long time." Prince Li guessed: "They are very likely to have encountered accidents before this."
"Then what should we do?" The person who spoke to King Li was a little worried.
King Li frowned: "It's okay if they die, and they won't tell me about me. If they don't die or they are arrested by the emperor or the prince, it will be troublesome, and they may sacrifice us. come out."
"The person sent here shouldn't know your identity, right? If you don't know, you don't need to worry so much."
"I hope so." Lijun Wang was still not at ease: "You lead people to ambush in secret, and kill the children while the guards protecting the children are not prepared."
"Yes." Prince Li's men pretended to slap Prince Li, and Prince Li fell to the ground, and then led the people out of the square.
Standing on the altar, Hei Xuanyi had a panoramic view of everything in the square, and curled his lips coldly.
"Don't we need to go down to help?" Wu Ruo asked in a low voice.
"No, it's fine for the old clan to be dealt with by others now. What we have to deal with is the old clan who will come later. You have to be careful then, they are likely to come all at you."
Hei Xuanyi originally wanted to send Wu Ruo back to the ground, but doing so would definitely make Wu Ruo unhappy, and overprotection is not a good thing. Besides, Wu Ruo is not weak, he has the ability to deal with any of the old clan people.
Wu Ruo turned her eyes back to the square again. Most of the old people who broke into the square were ordinary people, or some low-level magicians, and the more powerful old people hadn't come in yet.
As the night wind blows, the air is filled with a thick smell of blood, mixed with the cold ice wind, the smell is a bit unpleasant.
This is the first time Wu Ruo has seen a real fight between the royal family and the old clan. It is no different from other countries occupying other people's land. Everyone is either injured or dead.
The dead bodyguards and people from the old tribe will be called up again to continue fighting, and the injured will have a hard time. Even if only a drop of blood is left, the end will be more miserable than the dead, because the descendants of the immortals of the Necromancer will burst with blood. , as long as the blood is stained on the body, the body may explode at any time, which is very scary.
However, the descendants of the immortals of the Necromancer did not use this trick easily, because if they didn't control it well, they would blow up their own people to death.
Hei Xuanyi frowned: "Be careful, don't let yourself get blood on your body, if you get blood, immediately drag your clothes."
Wu Ruo asked him back: "What about you, will you be okay after you are stained with blood?"
Hei Xuanyi shook his head: "No, I can suck the blood away or remove it from my body when I am high-ranking, and the opponent can't use this trick against me. Similarly, I can also use this trick against high-ranking people. People are helpless, but if there is a special magic weapon, it can also resist the blood explosion.
"If you can suck the blood from your body or remove the blood from your body, then I can. Don't forget, I can learn your ability."
Hei Xuanyi hooked his lips: "I even forgot that you can learn all mysteries, so don't go down later, and see how I use this mysteries to deal with other people.
"it is good."
At this moment, there was a burst of blasting sound outside the door, which continued loudly, and many people looked outside one after another. I saw a large group of people rushing in riding a group of monsters, killing people who were not from the old clan at will.
