#693 Zilong Awakening (1)

The emperor suddenly turned his head and asked the national teacher: "National teacher, can you change?"

The national teacher replied unhurriedly: "My Majesty, the choice of a virgin girl is determined by heaven, and it must be a person with a matching destiny, and it cannot be changed at will. What's more, the auspicious time has come, and I have nowhere to go. Find a virgin of your own age."

Even if the emperor figured it out, regretted it, and didn't want Princess Xinrui to die.

It was too late by this moment.

He watched helplessly as the princess he once said he would hold in his palm stepped onto the raft step by step.

The rafts are made of freshly cut bamboo covered with white flowers.

There is also a circle of white candles on the edge.

Princess Xinrui walked up to the raft and sat down in the center.

clean and white.

sacred.

Spotless.

With the sound of drums, the raft was pushed towards the center of the lake after a ceremony.

After the raft leaves the shore, it will drift to the center of the lake with the current.

This period takes about an hour.

Wait until the raft reaches the center of the lake.

The candles lit on the raft will burn the ropes that tie the raft.

If the bamboo raft breaks, Princess Xinrui, who is the best, will fall straight into the lake.

The raft drifts away.

The emperor felt heartache and powerlessness.

The emperor rested his forehead with one hand, and couldn't bear to look at it any longer.

The matter has come to this point, and there is no way to recover.

Even if he is the emperor.

Nor can it destroy Daqin's most important sacrifice.

What's more, this year's situation is very different.

The moment the raft leaves the shore is when the sacrificial ceremony really begins.

The drums continued.

The sacrificial dance will continue to dance and dance.

The people cheered, prayed, and knelt down.

The imperial concubine narrowed her eyes, the corners of her mouth were raised, and there was a smile in her eyes.

Soon, soon the show will begin.

Today, the person representing the Zhen family was still Zhen Mao, but in fact Zhen Yin had already left the customs.

At this moment, Zhen Yin was doing another ceremony on the mountain in the distance, which formed a radiance with the sacrificial ceremony here.

The emperor and the people of Daqin didn't know that they only did half of the lake sacrifice ceremony every five years.

If it is done completely, the sleeping Zilong can be awakened.

And now it is their Zhen family who have mastered this secret and possessed that magic weapon.

And these stupid people still don't know anything about Zilong until now!

On the top of the opposite mountain, the Zhen family set up another altar.

Zhen Yin, who had just left customs, personally carried out this sacrifice.

He holds a vajra in his hand, and he is opening this vajra.

This is a high-level magic weapon, and it needs a strong combat power to open it.

The process will be a bit laborious, but as long as it can wake Zilong, it will be worth it.

Time passed minute by minute.

Someone prayed that the sacrifice would end soon.

Some people harbor evil intentions and wait for the time to come.

Someone was watching in secret.

The raft is in the middle.

And the time is exactly at noon, and the sun is just above the head.

The sun shone on Princess Xinrui's body, and her snow-white figure reflected the most holy light.

The candles on the raft were about to burn to where the ropes were.

The tongue of flame from the candle licked the rope, and the rope was slowly boiled by the flames.

Everyone was counting down the last few seconds in their hearts.

Soon, soon the virgin will sink to the bottom of the lake!

As long as the sacrifice is completed, Master Zilong will appease his anger and they will be safe!

At this time, a vajra flew from a distant mountain.

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, the vajra pierced straight into the center of the lake with tremendous power...
