Who told you to slay demons like this?

Qin Xi was stunned, and recognized that it was Shuang Wei's voice, so he quickly withdrew his breath.

"Come in."

Shuang Wei stepped forward respectfully, "Sir, Eunuch Qi from the palace is here."

Shuang Wei is a pretty girl and works as a housekeeper in the Qin residence.

Influenced by his experience before traveling through time, Qin Xi did not like being served and had no intention of purchasing servants.

Therefore, she wanted to return Shuangwei, the maid arranged by the Demon Slaying Division. Unexpectedly, Shuangwei knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, claiming that if Qin Xi didn't want her, she would have to be sold to a brothel.

Shuang Wei's words were true. She heard that Miss Qin Xi hated evil and did not like to oppress others.

In order to please Qin Xi, the Demon Slaying Division deliberately bought Shuang Wei from a human trafficker in order to make Qin Xi feel sympathetic and accept Shuang Wei.

If Qin Xi didn't accept Shuangwei, maybe Shuangwei would be lucky enough to be sold to other mansions as a maid, or maybe she would be sold to a brothel.

In fact, Qin Xi was very annoyed by some of the Dashun's oppression of innocent people, but Qin Xi knew that he should not take too big a step.

Qin Xi was soft-hearted for a moment and accepted Shuang Wei. Later, he handed over all the matters of the Qin Mansion, big and small, to Shuang Wei. Shuang Wei really lived up to her expectations and managed the Qin Mansion very well.

"Bring him here."

After getting Qin Xi's approval, the gray-haired Eunuch Qi held up his whisk and bowed respectfully.

He dared not be negligent in the slightest. Even the current emperor did not dare to be arrogant in front of this gentleman.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered you to come to the Tiance Palace for an audience."

Qin Xi nodded, "Thank you, Eunuch Qi."

Afterwards, surrounded by Eunuch Qi, he got on the carriage and drove into the imperial city.

Qin Xi came to Tiance Hall and found that the atmosphere in the whole hall was depressing. Lu Lingjue and Lu Lingxian were discussing something with two other people.

These two people were a man and a woman, whom Qin Xi did not know. However, the woman's features were very similar to those of the Lu siblings.

"what happened?"

When Lu Lingjue saw Qin Xi coming in, he hurriedly stood up to greet him and introduced the two people in the hall to Qin Xi.

This woman is none other than the second daughter of the Lu family, Lu Lingxue, who should now be Princess Dashun.

The man was Lu Lingxue’s husband Jin Cai.

After a few pleasantries, the atmosphere became dull again.

Lu Lingjue sighed, and when he was about to speak, Jin Cai stepped forward.

"Royal sister, let me say it."

After getting Lu Lingjue's approval, Jin Cai looked at Qin Xi.

"The Jin family is good at divination, and offering sacrifices to the dragon vein is a major event."

"Today, the elders of the Jin family have spent a lot of energy to calculate the good and bad luck of the dragon vein sacrifice."

"The first hexagram, Heaven Qian, the top nine, the arrogant dragon will regret; the second hexagram, Earth Water Shi hexagram, the bottom six, the teacher or the corpse, is ominous."

"Both hexagrams are ominous signs. There may be unexpected changes during this dragon vein sacrifice."

Qin Xi was completely confused as she knew nothing about divination.

However, I had heard from Lu Lingxian before that the Lu family's second brother-in-law, the Jin family, had been fortune-telling for generations, and their hexagrams were extremely accurate.

Qin Xi's face suddenly changed. Thinking of the True Dragon Demon Emperor, whom he had never met before, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

You must know that the Green Ghost Demon Girl came to help the Blood Demon Pool in order to obey the orders of the Demon Emperor and seize the Dashun Dragon Vein.

Although at that time, the Golden Lotus Fairy of the Great Wilderness Xuan Sect took action and held Qin Nan back, which gave Qin Xi the opportunity.

This does not mean that the Great Wilderness Xuan Sect is an ally. She does not trust the Great Wilderness Xuan Sect. In fact, the Great Wilderness Xuan Sect may also come for the dragon vein.

Lu Lingjue looked solemnly at the silent Qin Xi. She slowly stepped forward and held Qin Xi's hand tightly.

"Qin Xi, don't worry."

"No matter what happened with the dragon vein sacrifice, this is a test I should endure if I want to ascend to the throne."

"I am telling you this today not for any other reason, but because I hope you can protect the people of Dashun Liming at the critical moment."

Qin Xi held Lu Lingjue's hand and nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will protect Dashun."

Time has passed quietly, the five stars have aligned, and the day of dragon vein worship has arrived.

In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright and the horizon was covered with hazy fog.

The imperial city was crowded with people and brightly lit.

Civil and military officials were dressed in court robes, solemn and dignified, without looking to the side.

Many citizens of the imperial city gathered under the altar, ready to fight. Everyone brought their families with them and looked forward to it. Fortunately, the imperial guards maintained order, so no trouble occurred.

The magnificent altar stands tall and majestic, made of huge stones. The surface of the stones is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting dazzling light.

The altar is wide and presents a huge circle as a whole. On the high altar, there are eight thick pure gold pillars with dragon and cloud patterns carved in between.

The dragon's body is winding and vivid, and lifelike, as if it would turn into a dragon and fly in the next second, which is very majestic and spectacular.

On the altar were placed various precious offerings, including golden cups and jade bowls, good harvests, and livestock sacrifices.

Qin Xi was dressed in official uniform and stood at the head of all civil and military officials. Next to him was Lu Lingxian, who was also dressed in court robes.

At the same time, Qin Xi also saw many demon slayers in Rongnan City. They, together with the Imperial Guards and many other demon slayers, maintained order at the scene.

Qin Xi saw Mo Zhanji, Jian Suyu and others wearing iron armor, and smiled at them.

The dragon vein worship is a matter of great importance. Everyone is qualified to watch, whether they are civil or military officials or ordinary people.

But this time, when General Lu ascended the throne and offered sacrifices to the dragon vein, the people were extremely excited. Almost everyone in the imperial city came out in droves and swarmed to the altar.

They were looking forward to seeing General Lu put on the yellow robe and gain the recognition of the dragon vein.

Therefore, the demon slayers and the royal guards have a heavy responsibility. First of all, they must ensure that the people can watch the ceremony safely to avoid unnecessary trampling and crowding.

Secondly, maintain the order of sacrifice and prevent someone from suddenly appearing and disrupting the sacrificial scene.

"The auspicious time has come!"

A melodious voice was heard.

In an instant, colorful flags fluttered and drums beat the sky.

Eight priests of different appearances are ready to go, with solemn expressions, standing beside eight golden pillars.

The sound of long drums resounded through the clouds. Sixty-four warriors dressed in red clothes, wearing masks with ferocious gods depicted on them and wearing intricate strings of bells and beads, marched forward.

The dancers are vigorous and powerful, sometimes jumping, sometimes turning, and sometimes rolling, creating a strong sense of power and reminiscent of the scenes of ancient tribal sacrifices.

Qin Xi watched them with interest. This dance had a unique flavor. It was a hymn dance that had been passed down in Dashun for many years. It was somewhat similar to the Nuo dance before the time travel.

As the dance came to an end, the eight priests struck their staffs together, and eight dazzling golden lights shot up into the sky, and then the entire ground was covered with dazzling and mysterious patterns.

Seeing this, the eight priests sang in unison. The melody was majestic and magnificent. In an instant, the entire altar was illuminated by golden light, as if a divine dragon was chanting.

From the civil and military officials to the common people, everyone stared with wide eyes, staring at the grand scene before them with excitement.

Lu Lingjue, wearing a dragon robe, walked up the steps step by step and came to the center of the altar.

However, in the next second, the dazzling golden light disappeared in an instant, and the entire altar became dark and no longer as glorious as before.
