The official horse team. When yào talked about this, his tone suddenly became secretive, "Isn't this epidemic reported in our county? The imperial court sent a team of officials and horses to expel the epidemic, and it was time to enter the county this morning. Guess who sent it? "
"Nuoyi?" Sister Chen was taken aback, "Is it possible..."
Lang yào thumped his hand, "It is said that those under the direct control of the national teacher, there are too many official names, I can't call them, anyway, it is said that they follow the national teacher on weekdays, and it is probably the rare person who has seen the appearance of the national teacher. Bar."
Chapter Wire in the Bone (3)
On the outskirts of Qingping County, a long horse team was marching forward. It was really rare for this team to dress up. They are all wide robes with large sleeves, embroidered with ferocious beast patterns on the front and back, but other than that, the entire robe is a watery white, stirred by the wind from the running of horseshoes, the sleeves are like clouds, It also shows a mixed beauty of ferociousness and cleanliness.
These people on horseback can't tell their age just by looking at their robes and bodies. They seem to be restrained by various manners all the year round, and at first glance they are all straight and straight. As for the face... They all wore a simple animal face mask, so they couldn't see the face clearly.
The long cavalry consisted of about 100 people, two parallel, with three carriages in between, and the curtains were tightly closed. On both sides of the three carriages, a high flag is supported, with six sides in total. The black bottom surface is faintly embroidered with complicated patterns. At first glance, it is difficult to distinguish them. It must be under the sunlight to vaguely see the outlines of silk lines. In the middle of the black flag, there are two dragons and pythons with large characters - too often.
In the previous dynasties, Taichang was in charge of the rituals of heaven, earth, ghosts, auspiciousness and yin and yang. Since Da Taichang was in the hands of the national teacher, the powers of these people were very limited, and Taichang Siqing became the deputy of the national teacher. And when the national teacher of the dynasty was so old, no one could tell, and the deputy beside him had already changed several positions.
It is said that in addition to picking one or two children with Buddhahood to raise them every few years, the national teacher will also select a group of virgin boys and girls with high qualifications. They are taught by Taichang Temple and raised to the age of ten. As a performer of the Nuo ritual, the largest one can't exceed sixteen. When they pass sixteen, some of them will be transferred to other positions in Taichang Temple.
Therefore, the entire Taichang Temple, especially in the past two tenures, from the ministers and Shaoqings of the Taichang Temple, to the people of Taizhu and Taibu, down to the Qizi, etc., almost all have deep ties with the national teacher. It's not an exaggeration to be half a disciple.
This group of people divided into two groups at the fork, and more than 20 of them took a carriage to the main urban area of the county. This was a team ordered to drive away the epidemic. The other one hundred and twenty people turned on another road that went around the mountain. The two leaders had a string of copper coins with oily yellow leather on their waists, and a jade plaque with spikes on their waists.
The carved patterns on the jade plaque are different. The man on the left has a mysterious turtle carved on the jade plaque, and a long-feathered bird stands on the turtle's back. The man on the right had a long-horned beast face carved on his jade plaque, with a small octagonal bell hanging on the face of the beast, with two small characters - Taizhu also encircled between them.
Taibu and Taizhu belong to Taichang Temple respectively, Taibu palm yin Yang Divination, and Taizhu palm sacrifices Nuo ritual.
As soon as the horse team walked up the mountain road, the leader with the Taibuyu plaque raised his hand to signal, and the entire team did not rush into chaos, but stopped quietly.
Taizhu turned his head to look at him, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes from the mask: "What?"
Although this man's tone was calm, his tone was very young, sounding like a man in his early twenties.
"I'll confirm the position again." Taibu replied, the voice was female, equally young, and the tone was clean and gentle with a neatness.
As she answered, she took off the rough and simple animal pattern mask on her face, revealing a delicate face that was completely different from the mask. Just looking at her appearance, she should be younger than her voice suggests, maybe only seventeen or eighteen years old. Fortunately, she has beautiful eyebrows and a pair of eyes as black as a lake, which suppressed her too young temperament a lot, revealing a sense of tranquility and stability.
The position of Taifu is slightly different from others, because the matters in hand, whether it is divination or interpretation of dreams, are related to talents. Therefore, most people who can be Taifu are people with special aptitude and fate, regardless of gender, age or age. And because women are more sensitive in this regard, women have made up the majority of officials in recent tenures.
Taizhu nodded and agreed: "Alright, make sure nothing goes wrong. After all, it is closely related to natural and man-made disasters. If it is wrong, it will be difficult to look back." Pointing up, "That one will definitely not be happy."
Taibu glanced at him
