060 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 59

☆, Chapter 59 A surprising glimpse of Shenwu Street 2

This child was only about seven or eight years old, and he was really thin and small.After falling from such a high place, her little body shivered in his arms, like a newborn cub of some animal.However, a huge black eye was exposed in the gap between the bandages on his messy head, and a snow-white shadow was reflected in the eye, staring at him unblinkingly, as if he couldn’t see anything else.

Hearing the sound of gasps from all directions, Xie Lian raised his head slightly, but his heart suddenly sank.Because, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly spotted a golden object falling on the ground not far ahead.

The golden mask covering his face fell off.

Xie Lian landed in the middle of Shenwu Street. The honor guard was several feet behind him and had not yet marched here.A sudden change occurred, and the steady steps of the warriors were disrupted by the sudden accident. The beautiful ladies who were scattering flowers also showed panic on their faces. The golden chariot stopped, several tall white horses raised their hooves and neighed, and there were a few discordant sounds in the shengxiao orchestra.Some people left and some stayed. If they failed to unify their steps quickly, the situation seemed to be out of control.The crowds on both sides of the street did not react for a moment, but the Lord of Xianle Kingdom on the high building suddenly stood up and looked at his son’s figure with a concerned and dignified expression.

Once he stood, how could the rest of the princes and nobles dare to sit down?They all stood up in panic.The imperial master’s butt had just warmed up the stool, but now it was cold again. He was thinking quickly about whether to kneel down and blame himself immediately, but Qi Rong had already jumped on the railing, rolled up his sleeves, and said angrily: “What’s wrong? What’s going on? Why is the team in chaos? What are these losers doing? Are you freeloaders who can’t even pull a horse?!”

The queen looked pale and frowned slightly, and quickly asked someone to pull him down.Seeing that the crowd was beginning to commotion, a chaos was about to break out. At this moment, Xie Lian suddenly stood up.

On weekdays, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is hidden deep in the palace or retreating to the royal ashram for meditation. He has almost no chance to show his face in front of the people.This was an unprecedented first time, so everyone was involuntarily attracted to him and looked over.Looking at it, he couldn’t help but hold his breath slightly.I saw that the young man had long eyebrows and beautiful eyes. He was extremely handsome. He was so glorious that he was so dazzling that no one dared to look at him.He held the child in one hand and slowly raised the sword in the other hand, pointing towards the stage.

The demon was originally on the stage overlooking the situation below. Seeing this move, he paused for a moment and suddenly moved his feet.

The crowd exclaimed, and the demon’s figure was like a black cloud, flying through the air, flying to the pillar where the long knife had just been taken out and nailed, holding the handle of the knife, pulling it out with the cracked stone, then turned over and jumped, landing in the middle of the street, in front of the warrior.

Seeing him, he immediately understood what he meant and came over to cooperate. Xie Lian gave a low praise: “So admiring!”

At this time, both the Yueshen warrior and the demon stepped down.One black and one white, one sword and one sword, they finally faced each other again, and everyone’s blood surged and they boiled again.On the high-rise building, the faces of the nobles all softened, and they finally looked better.

The demon pretended to kill the young child in the arms of the warrior. He held the knife in both hands and struck Xie Lian with a long sword.The two pretended to take it apart a few times, and then flew back to the stage.Feng Xin took advantage of everyone’s attention to shift, rolled across the street, grabbed the mask, rushed into the ceremonial formation and shouted in a low voice: “Don’t mess up the formation! Don’t mess up! Just keep walking as if nothing happened! After completing this circle, go back to the palace!”

Several people in the honor guard quickly gathered their thoughts, returned to their respective positions, and regained their composure.And over there, once back on the stage, Mu Qing’s offensive became even more fierce, and Xie Lian took several swords with “clang clang”. At this time, he heard the child in his arms making an “ah” sound. It must have been that he was trapped in the light of the sword, and he was very frightened.Xie Lian hugged him tightly with her left hand and said in a deep voice: “Don’t be afraid!”

Hearing this, the young boy grasped the clothes on his chest tightly.Xie Lian held a child in one hand and used the sword with ease.After taking it apart for a while, he felt that the child in his arms was trembling again and raised his hands, tightly hugged his shoulders, as if holding a life-saving straw, and said: “It’s okay, nothing will hurt you.”

After saying that, he shouted: “Mourning!”

The demon opposite nodded incomprehensibly, and thanked Lian for thrusting out his sword.

So, before everyone was watching, the Yueshen warrior finally pierced the demon’s heart with his sword and killed him on the spot!

Mu Qing wore a demon mask, covered her “wound”, staggered back a few steps, struggled for a moment, and finally fell to the ground with a “bang”, motionless.

Qi Rong laughed loudly upstairs, clapped his hands and said, “Dead! Dead! The prince’s cousin has killed the monsters!”

At the same time, the mighty Tianjie Tour team continued to march towards the palace. It had finished and was ready to enter the palace gate.Due to the timely remedy and the exciting plot, such an unexpected episode happened just now. Instead of complaining, the people became even more enthusiastic.Countless people shouted “Your Highness” and “God”, and followed the Huatai, tens of thousands of them, rushing towards the palace.Several officers had to send several times more warriors and soldiers to intercept these overly excited people.However, they were unable to stop him after all. The crowd broke through the defense line and swarmed forward.

The Lord of Xianle Kingdom said from the high building: “Guards! Warriors!”

At this moment, hundreds of people from the entire honor guard had entered the palace gate. The vermilion gate was closed behind Huatai, and the fluttering colorful flags no longer wavered.The common people rushed to the door, slamming the door and cheering loudly.

And inside the closed palace gate, on the stage, there were two “clangs”, and the Yueshen warrior in white and the demon in black both threw down their weapons and collapsed heavily to the ground.

Xie Lian was covered in sweat. He pulled apart the layers of gorgeous divine clothes, exhaled a long breath, and said: “It’s so dangerous, so dangerous. I’m exhausted.”

Mu Qing also took off the heavy demon mask and exhaled silently, but did not cry tired.

He turned his head and saw that Xie Lian was still holding the toddler in his arms, frowning and saying nothing.But Feng Xin chased Huatai from below and said, “Your Highness, why did you bring this child in?”

The young child lay on Xie Lian’s chest, his little body stiff and motionless, not daring to breathe.Xie Lian sat up and said: “If you don’t bring it in, why don’t you just leave it outside? The street is so messy, and such a small one will be trampled to death after just putting it down.”

After saying that, he picked up the toddler, touched the little head twice, and said casually: “Kid, how old are you?”

The child’s eyes did not blink and his mouth remained silent.Xie Lian continued to ask him, coaxing: “Why did you fall just now?”

Admiringly said: “Your Highness, this child may not dare to speak, he must be petrified.”

Xie Lian touched the child’s head twice more. He felt that the child was dull and uninteresting, so he stopped touching it and commented: “Silly. Feng Xin, please find someone to take him out through the side door later. Check to see if he is injured and his face is wrapped with a bandage.”

Feng Xin stretched out his hand and said, “Okay. Pass him over.”

Xie Lian picked up the young child and handed him over.Unexpectedly, the delivery was not completed, Feng Chuang said: “Your Highness, why don’t you let go?”

Xie Lian asked strangely: “Did I let go?” When he looked down again, he couldn’t even laugh or cry, but it turned out that it was the child’s hands that tightly grasped the hem of his clothes and did not let go.

Several people were startled and immediately burst into laughter.Xie Lian is practicing in Huangji Temple. There are many good men and women who, either to see something strange or because of their faith, have racked their brains and tried their best to meet His Royal Highness. After meeting him once, they want to see him again and wish they could become a Taoist priest with him.I didn’t expect that this kid would be quite like this at such a young age.Protecting the Dharma on the side of Huatai were many young Taoist priests who were also practicing at Huangji Temple. They all laughed and said, “Your Highness, this child doesn’t want to leave!”

Xie Lian laughed and said: “Really? That’s not possible. I still have to do my own thing. Children, please go home.”

Hearing this, the child finally slowly let go of his hand, no longer holding on to his clothes, and Feng Xin immediately grabbed him.The young boy was held in Feng Xin’s hand, but his big, bright black eyes were still staring straight at Xie Lian.This look was as if he was possessed by a ghost.Seeing this, many Taoists began to murmur in their hearts.Xie Lian didn’t look at the child at all. He only said to Feng Chuan: “Don’t carry him like rags, or scare the child.”

Feng Xin put the young child on the ground and said, “Stop laughing. The Imperial Master is going crazy. Your Highness, you’d better think about how to explain it later.”

Hearing this, everyone stopped laughing.

Half an hour later.Huangji Temple, Shenwu Peak, Shenwu Hall.

Incense clouds are lingering, and there are bursts of chanting.The Imperial Preceptor and the three deputy Imperial Preceptors were sitting on one side of the hall, their faces full of sorrow, and they knelt down in front of them with admiration.Xie Lian also knelt down.However, there was no one in the direction where he was kneeling, just the golden statue of Emperor Shenwu.Feng Xin followed the master and knelt behind him.

The Imperial Master picked up the carefully carved golden mask, and after a while, he sighed and said, “Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

Even if he was kneeling, Xie Lian still knelt straight and raised his head and said: “Here you are.”

The Imperial Master was heartbroken and said: “Do you know that in the history of Xianle Kingdom, there have been so many Changyuan Festival Heavenly Tours, but there has never been one where the ceremonial staff stage only walked around the city three times. Three times!”

Every ritual and every arrangement of the Shangyuan Festival has its own metaphorical meaning.The Huatai circle around the city symbolizes praying for peace and prosperity for the country for a year. Therefore, as many times as the last Shangyuan Festival Parade was completed, there will be no need to hold such a huge event again.Not only does it bode well, but it also saves money.Three laps, doesn’t it mean that it can only be guaranteed for three years???

What’s more, the terrible thing is that the golden mask on Yueshen warrior’s face fell off during the festival.

Xianle people have believed since ancient times that the aura of the human body is concentrated in the five senses. The head and face are where a person’s soul resides, and they must offer the best to God. Therefore, during the ceremony, the warrior must wear a golden mask to cover his face, because his face can only be appreciated by the gods and gods, and mortals are not qualified to see it.

The Imperial Master hated iron and said, “In the past, Yueshen warriors were guaranteed at least five laps, and could only hold up fifteen or sixteen laps at most. What about you? You could walk fifty laps with your eyes closed! One hundred laps! But you strangled yourself to death on the third lap – why didn’t you strangle me, your master, to death first? Okay, now, Your Highness, you will go down in history, and I will go down in history with you!”

No one in the hall dared to speak.Xie Lian looked calm and said calmly: “National Master, why don’t you look at it this way. If the child falls to death and no one picks him up, and the blood is splashed on the spot during the sacrifice to the sky, wouldn’t it be an ominous sign? Wouldn’t the ceremony be interrupted? Now, at least it ends in a more dignified manner, which is the best result. If such a thing happened, it can only be said to be an accident.”

The national master was speechless for a moment, and then said: “You kid! There are so many royal warriors here, why can’t any one of them still catch it? Even if the catch is not accurate, he may break his arm and leg, but he will not die. If you take a few more steps forward, fight better, and no one will care about what just fell.”

Xie Lian raised his eyebrows and said: “National Master, you know. In that situation, apart from me, there is no other person who can react, and there is no other person who can catch him unscathed. If you don’t catch him, one will die, if you catch him, two will die.”

His tone was matter-of-fact and very determined.All the national teachers also knew that what he said was the truth, so they could not refute it.Seeing him kneeling in front of the statue, he didn’t take it seriously at all. He was angry, funny, and proud.This precious apprentice Jin Gui’er couldn’t be angry with him anyway, so he could only pull out a few handfuls of hair and cover up the sadness in his heart with the severe pain in his scalp.After a pause, the Imperial Master said again: “There is more!”

Xie Lian lowered his head slightly and said, “My disciple is listening.”

The Imperial Master said: “You came on stage today and did a good job. But no matter how good you are, you can’t suddenly change your greeting without saying hello in advance. Your Majesty and the Queen are both scared to death today. Do you know what will happen if you don’t make it in time?”

Xie Lian raised his eyebrows and said curiously: “National Master, didn’t I ask you about this before today?”

The Imperial Master was also startled and said: “You asked me? Before today? When?”

Hearing this, Xie Lian frowned, looked to the side, and said, “Mourning?”

The author has something to say: It seems that many 0-point long comments have been automatically deleted in the background. Maybe 0-point long comments will be judged by the system as comments spamming?Or is it because JJ jerked off and repeated it?Anyway, if a classmate writes a long comment and is afraid of losing it, it’s best to make a backup copy, because I don’t know the system’s criteria for deleting comments, and maybe they will be deleted at some point…
