Cui Tang looked around and saw that the female elephant, which had been comforted by the elephant slave, also broke away and ran towards the sacrificial pond.
The heartstrings of everyone who had not yet completely calmed down suddenly tightened again.
"Damn it, it's not over yet!" Chang Kuo cursed, without caring much, he grabbed the knife from the hand of a Xuance soldier, held the knife in one hand, and pulled Chang Suining with the other to protect her and retreat.
.
"Dad, no need." Chang Suining held his arm and shook his head lightly.
The female elephant quickly came to the two of them, but the speed had slowed down. Chang Kuo lowered his hand holding the knife a little. People who were born in the battlefield have a keen awareness of crises - this female elephant was at this time.
Not threatening.
Chang Suining crossed Chang Kuo who was blocking him and took a step forward.
The female elephant let out a mournful cry, stretched out her long trunk, and gently touched her left shoulder.
Chang Sui Ning turned his head slightly and took a look, only to see that his shoulder was injured and there was blood oozing out.
The mournful screams continued, falling in everyone's ears, making people feel inexplicably sad.
The girl with messy bun and messy dress stood with her head raised and looked at the female elephant.
The huge visual disparity between the girl and the giant elephant is surprisingly harmonious at this moment, like a painting full of Zen, which makes people feel inexplicably peaceful.
The cry of the female elephant continued to echo, and there seemed to be a look of pleading in her pitiful eyes.
"Don't worry, I won't kill it." Chang Suining said.
The female elephant seemed to understand her words, raised her head and called out, and then stepped aside with peace of mind, standing by the sacrificial pool, guarding her companion who fell into the sacrificial pool.
Xi'er ran forward and looked at Chang Sui Ning's body covered in blood. She didn't know where to start. Tears could not help but roll in her eyes: "Girl!"
At this time, a big hand handed over a black cloak.
Chang Suining looked up along the slender hand stained with blood, and saw a stern face without much expression.
Chang Sui Ning, whose dress was scratched in many places, did not refuse and nodded slightly: "Thank you very much."
When the girl nodded, Xi'er quickly took the cloak and said, "Thank you very much, Governor Cui!"
Xi'er quickly put the cloak on Chang Suining and tied it up, while Chang Kuo exchanged glances with Cui Jing who was looking at the elephant in the sacrificial pool.
Seeing that Chang Sui Ning was safe and sound, Yao Ran's heart finally fell, and then he walked up to Mrs. Pei: "Mother..."
"Snapped!"
Mr. Pei raised his hand and slapped the girl on the face. He gritted his teeth and said, "You trash, you can't even take care of yourself!"
Yao Ran looked at her blankly.
The girl who had just experienced a near-death experience for the first time, faced those cold and suppressed eyes that even contained hatred for whom she didn't know who they were directed at. At this moment, she finally couldn't bear the grievance in her heart and tears rolled down her face.
At the same time, a terrible guess suddenly flashed in my mind.
Does her mother really blame her for not taking care of herself?
Or... the development of things was different from what the mother had expected and expected... so he vented his anger on her?
This speculation made Yao Randeng feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his tears stopped inexplicably.
"This..." Even though Mrs. Zeng was usually a jerk in front of Mrs. Pei, she couldn't bear it at this moment: "Ran'er managed to escape... why would my elder sister-in-law do this in public!"
With that said, he pulled Yao Ran to his side.
Mrs. Pei's eyes were extremely cold: "I teach my daughter, it's not anyone else's turn to interfere!"
"Okay." The old lady of the Yao family interrupted this terrible conversation with a frown.
Yao Xia was so angry that her cheeks turned red, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only clasp her hands and chant in her heart - It is said that Dayun Temple is a geomantic treasure place, where the gods and Buddhas are the most efficacious! So if the Buddha saw and heard it, he would
The merit of the great aunt should be deducted!
Give her a break!
Make her owe money!
The girl secretly confessed to the Buddha what she considered to be the darkest and most sinister situation in her heart.
Not many people noticed the few disputes between the Yao family members.
With the mad elephant trapped in the sacrificial pool, the incident subsided and there was a brief period of calm.
But this is short-lived and is undoubtedly just an appearance.
Looking around at the messy place at this time, the same frightening result was conveyed everywhere - the blessing ceremony was completely ruined.
Emperor Shengce made a lot of preparations for this mid-spring sacrifice.
At this moment, on the altar, although the dragon's face did not show anger, it was already covered with a layer of frost.
Several elephant slaves were kneeling under the altar to apologize: "...the slaves failed to detect the strangeness of the idols in advance and were unable to deal with it. They really deserve death!"
"But in recent days, I haven't neglected any matters related to feeding... I really don't know what went wrong!"
"The gods have a docile temperament, and there has never been any precedent of going crazy for no reason. Today, it is true, it is true..."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
No one even dared to ask for mercy at this time.
Several officials of the Huntian Prison also knelt down. The Huntian Prison controls the solar terms of the sky and predicts good and bad days. At this time, the leader of the prison was under the scrutiny of the emperor. His body was shaking like chaff and he spoke: "
The sacred elephant will never hurt anyone without reason... The sacred elephant holds the symbol of peace, which is the incarnation of auspiciousness. It is the envoy of His Majesty and Da Sheng who are connected with God... This time at this blessing ceremony, something strange suddenly appeared.
Maybe... maybe I noticed something ominous..."
After saying this, everyone's expressions changed.
All eyes were subconsciously looking at the "ominous thing".
At this moment, a simple greeting suddenly came.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"How can you, Huntian Supervisor, be so willing to speak nonsense and slander someone's innocence without any evidence?"
Chang Kuo pointed at the prisoner and cursed: "I think you have a sinister look on your face. It's disgusting to see you. You are more like that ominous thing! And when you open your mouth, it smells terrible, just like throwing excrement. There will be another war in the future."
, if the dung-water-gold juice is needed in the battle between the two armies, there is no need to prepare it in advance. Just bring your mouth, and you can use it to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop and achieve a complete victory! Our army does not need to spend an extra soldier.
Isn’t it beautiful to have one stroke!”
After saying that, he angrily asked other officials of the Huntian Prison: "I see that your Huntian Prison is really poor. How come you can't even get the money to buy a rope? - If you don't tie it up properly, you call him a big man."
Just go out and bite people randomly during the day! If you don’t have enough money, I have this!”
As he said that, he actually took off the money bag from his waist and hit the prison officer hard on the head.
"Take them all! If you can't use up the rope you buy, then use it to tie paper figures, paste white flags, exchange paper money, and hire a few more people to carry the coffin! In case one of you can't lift it safely and you have to toss it, then
But it’s really unlucky to live, and it’s unlucky to die!”
The prisoner was scolded until his face turned red and black, and the silver bag hit him so hard that his black gauze hat flew out. He was so embarrassed and frightened that he couldn't even lift his head.
