Da Qin: I am really not the Human Emperor!

Chapter 28 Chapter : Ran Yiyu, Ran Yiyu.

In the middle of the night, in the study, Ying Zizhou was leaning against the case, holding a bamboo slip in his hand. This behavior made Gai Nie very curious.

In his impression, Ying Zizhou had never been so diligent!

Gai Nie walked into the study quietly. Ying Zheng had not yet taken back the secret order. As Ying Zizhou's personal guard, he was naturally qualified without informing those close to him.

In the study, the fluorescence is bright, completely different from night. If you look carefully, you can see that there are lamp posts at the four corners of the study, with a small pearl placed on each of them.

It was these pearls that emitted soft fluorescence that lit up the study. Genie's face looked a little strange. He remembered that King Qin once had such a pearl, but he gave it to the Queen Mother.

If it hadn't been for today's coincidence, he probably wouldn't have known that Ying Zizhou had such treasures, and there were several of them! No, it seems that King Qin’s one was also given by Ying Zizhou.

But soon, Gai Nie put his mind away. During the time he spent with Ying Zizhou, he became accustomed to these treasures.

Then, he continued to look at the study. The study was neat and orderly, and it seemed that it was cleaned and tidied frequently. This surprised him. This second young master seemed to be quite studious?

"Mr. Gai Nie, what's the matter?" Ying Zizhou noticed Gai Nie's figure and put down the bamboo slips to look at him.

"Seeing that the second young master was up late at night, Nie was worried."

"Nothing, just looking for something." Ying Zizhou smiled.

"Can I be with you?" Gai Nie asked.

Ying Zizhou looked at him and thought for a while before saying, "Mr. Gai Nie, does he know anything about sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice?" Gai Nie was a little confused.

"I have become slightly interested in sacrifices recently, but there are few mentions of sacrifices in many books." Ying Zizhou sighed.

"Sacrifice has always been a mysterious matter. It is mostly passed down through oral tradition. Even hundreds of families rarely get involved in it. However, Mr. Yueshen of the Yin Yang family should know something about it. Second Young Master can ask."

"I asked." Ying Zizhou shook his head, "What she said is not what I asked for."

"Oh? What do you want, Second Young Master?"

"The sacrificial etiquette of the Shang Dynasty." Ying Zizhou said in a deep voice.

Gai Nie was startled, and after a moment of silence he spoke: "The Shang Dynasty has been around for thousands of years, and there are very few relevant records, let alone the sacrifices."

"Yes." Ying Zizhou sighed.

"It would be nice if someone had seen the sacrifice scene of the Shang Dynasty, but how is this possible..." Ying Zizhou muttered, but the next moment he was suddenly startled and stood up immediately.

Mo Qilin was so frightened that he raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

yes! How could he forget that there are also Chaofeng and Chiki!
They are ancient relics from the Shang Dynasty, and if you know so much about sacrifices, you must know the etiquette of sacrifices!
It's all because Chaofeng told him about Jiuding, otherwise why would he be reading books here at night?

"Second son?"

"I'm going out for a while, Mr. Genie doesn't need to come with me."

As he spoke, Ying Zizhou casually put on a robe and ran out, followed closely by Mo Qilin.

Although Gai Nie was confused about Ying Zizhou's sudden performance, he didn't think much about it.

It didn't take long for Ying Zizhou to get what he wanted from Chaofeng.

As you can imagine, the sacrificial system of the Shang Dynasty can be said to be quite simple, not as cumbersome and complicated as that of the Zhou Dynasty.

After recording these in the book, Ying Zizhou fell asleep peacefully.

Yueshen and Yanfei were faster than expected. A few days later, they arrived in Xianyang. Fortunately, Yingzizhou finally arranged everything during this time.

"Second Young Master." Concubine Yan sat in front of the table. The aroma of tea overflowed on the table, but Concubine Yan's eyes were fixed on Ying Zizhou.

"What does the second young master mean by offering sacrifices?"

"Sacrifice is sacrifice, what's the point?" Ying Zizhou said.

Yan Fei looked into his eyes, as if she wanted to learn something from them.

"What's the matter? Is there something strange on my face?" Ying Zizhou asked when Concubine Yan's eyes changed.

Concubine Yan sighed, she couldn't figure it out after all, and then she raised her head and looked at Ying Zizhou.

"Second Young Master, you know that offering sacrifices is not a trivial matter. Please tell me why. After all, as a witch, you should know the meaning of sacrificing to heaven."

Yan Fei said and glanced at the silent Moon God.

Also, why didn't he see Chaofeng and the others saying this? He looked at the Moon God.

"I am only doing this sacrifice for one thing."

"What?"

"Strange object."

"Strange object? If the second young master wants to know its whereabouts, my Yin Yang family has another secret technique..." Concubine Yan said.

Ying Zizhou shook his head, "This thing needs the hand of heaven."

"Borrowing the hand of heaven!" Concubine Yan was startled. No wonder she was so surprised. Borrowing the power of heaven, this is not an ordinary thing like divination!
God's will is unpredictable. Ordinary divination and peeking into God's will can cause backlash. This sacrifice requires the power of God. If it fails, the consequences will be backlash!

Yan Fei took a deep breath and then slowly said this. She couldn't stop Yueshen because this was her mission, but she could persuade Ying Zizhou.

Ying Zizhou was also stunned. He really didn't know there was such a way.

As for Chaofeng and Chiqi, first of all, he didn't ask, and secondly, they didn't care about the Moon God's life.

As spine beasts, they have seen too many things in their long years, including the rise and fall of countries, and the replacement of dynasties. Compared to these, what is the life of a witch?
It's not like Ying Zizhou takes risks. For them, as long as Ying Zizhou achieves what they want, it's fine. As for the cost, that's not what they consider.

The price?
Ying Zizhou thought for a while, then decisively took off something from his waist and placed it on the table.

"Before, I didn't think carefully about it, but this matter is particularly important to me. This thing has the ability to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters. It should be protected by the moon god. Furthermore, if something changes during the sacrifice, I will do my best. Take action to protect Yueshen Zhouquan."

Ying Zizhou looked at Concubine Yan solemnly.

Isn't it just the price? He can afford it if he wins Zizhou!

As for whether it is worth it, if you consider it from this aspect, it is naturally not worth it. Even if you successfully practice the so-called human and divine fragrance, it will not be worth the cost he spent for it.

Why do it when you know it’s not worth it?
There are so many reasons for some things. Just do it if you want to do it. If you only think about the gains and losses, you will get nothing in the end. Besides, again, he can afford it if he wins Zizhou!
Concubine Yan looked at him and then at the object on the table, which was a ring-shaped jade pendant.

There is a strange beast engraved on it, and Yan Fei is no stranger to it. It is Ran Yiyu.

"The Book of Mountains and Seas. The Book of Western Mountains" says: Three hundred and fifty miles west of the mountain, called Yingting Mountain, there are many lacquered trees on the top, many gold and jade on the bottom, and all the birds and beasts are white.

The Wei River comes out, and the north stream flows into the Lingyang River. It is a fish left by Duo Ran. It has a body, a snake head, and six legs. Its eyes are like horses' ears. Eating it can prevent people from squinting and protect them from evil.

It is said that eating its meat can avoid disasters, and the fish is connected to jade, so the ancestors thought that carving it on jade could better ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters.

At this moment, Ying Zizhou took out this jade pendant, obviously wanting to let the Moon God continue to offer sacrifices, and his sincerity was also full.

Therefore, a gentleman never abandons his body without any reason. Ying Zizhou taking out such personal items is tantamount to making a promise.
