No one knew what happened to Zhong Miao Yi after Zhou Yitong went back, but Su Zeyi did not come to look for her, nor did he seem to have made any movements afterwards.
In the eyes of the ancestors, the heaven and earth nurtured all living beings, and they were the highest gods. The Heaven's Sacrifice ceremony was a form of communication between man and the heavens, and the emperor personally presided over the Heaven's Sacrifice ceremony. The altars for the sacrificial ceremony were usually circular, symbolizing the heaven and earth.
When offering sacrifices to heaven, it was necessary to recite the rites, the melodies and the offerings, so there were many people who came along this time, and these things were prepared to show that people had contributed their labor to heaven as a form of reward for nourishing everything, and then prayed to heaven to be able to appreciate human suffering.
The drought had persisted for more than a month, if it did not rain, there would be more and more refugees, and even Su Zeyi would not be able to control the situation.
The places of sacrifice were all in the suburbs, so they were also known as' the sacrificial ceremony '.
The mound was a circular altar, and the circle was the image of the sky.
Before he sacrificed for the heavens, Su Zeyi and the important officials he brought all had to fast, to show their respect for the heavens and their sincerity. Therefore, in the past two days, no one had seen Zhong Miao Yi.
Ban Qiu said that on the day of the sacrifice, Su Zeyi would bring everyone to the rear mountains early in the morning. The air on the mountain was cold and humid, and Su Zeyi had brought along all of his big fur capes.
After they left, Ban Qiu could bring Zhong Miao Yi to the town in front.
Because of this, Zhong Miao Yi looked forward to it for a few days. She even went to see the preparations for the Sacrifice of Heaven.
Zhong Miao Yi had never seen such a formation before and thought it was strange, but she did not step forward.
Ban Qiu appeared mysteriously all day, he suddenly appeared behind Zhong Miao Yi and smiled: "Did you see that? Tomorrow, they will go up the mountain. You can wholeheartedly tell them that you are not feeling well, and you won't be afraid that I will tell Su Zeyi about it. "
The corners of Zhong Miao Yi's lips curled upwards, "You wouldn't tell Su Zeyi that. If you tell him, he will definitely blame you. In the future, you won't be able to bring me out to play, right?"
Ban Qiu was being held tightly by the Zhong Miao Yi, and could only sigh: "Then there's no other way, everything has been calculated by you, what can I say?"
Zhong Miao Yi felt at ease. After she left that day, she did not ask anymore questions about what happened. Even if she did ask, it would only be a psychological obstruction for her, she could not do anything else.
Zhong Miao Yi had already learned how to protect herself and not be influenced by her curiosity. There were some things that she couldn't care less about, don't ask too much or think too much, that was enough.
"Don't worry, they'll be gone for the whole day. I'll take you to the town and play until it's dark before coming back. They won't notice." Ban Qiu was filled with confidence, with an expression waiting to be praised by the Zhong Miao Yi.
However, the Zhong Miao Yi did not pay attention to him at all. After watching for a while, she turned around and left.
Ban Qiu was like a little bug as she followed Zhong Miao Yi's footsteps step by step, "Did Zhou Ji's little sister have any conflicts with you?"
"Why do you say that?" Zhong Miao Yi squinted his eyes, the expression on his face unnatural for a moment.
No matter what, you are an old man who is following by Su Zeyi's side. At the right time, you still have to take care of her, how can I not be moved and get beaten up when I'm here? You used to be a wolf. " Ban Qiu could not bear to see someone bully the Zhong Miao Yi the most, so she was not sure what was going on with this Zhou Yitong, so he came to ask the Zhong Miao Yi.
The Zhong Miao Yi laughed, feeling that Ban Qiu's words were always a laughter that made others not know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't get beaten up, those who need to be tidied up naturally need to be tidied up, none of them can escape. If the time is not right, we can't do anything. "
Ban Qiu pouted her lips and disagreed with Zhong Miao Yi's words, "Some people, there's no reason for her to have malicious intents towards you. Some people, you don't know about her malice towards you, but don't be stupid, don't wait for others to hurt you before retaliating. You have to strangle everything in the cradle, otherwise, if something happens, you'll cry in a place where you won't even be able to cry!"
Zhong Miao Yi turned around to look at Ban Qiu. "Are you teaching me how to survive?"
Ban Qiu shook his head: "No, I'm telling you the way things are in your life, not everyone will change for the better, and not everyone will realize their own mistakes. She has hurt you, and maybe you have also hurt her unintentionally.
Ban Qiu was like the big brother of the Zhong Miao Yi, and also like the life mentor of the Zhong Miao Yi. Other than Su Zeyi, the person who taught the most to the Zhong Miao Yi was Ban Qiu.
He and Su Zeyi were different, Ban Qiu was a person who climbed and crawled his way out of the martial arts world, all these years, he had gradually retreated from the martial arts world and could not blend into the imperial court, so he was a person who could not be at ease, drinking and strolling in the flower gardens all day long, a leisurely life for Ban Qiu was the most suitable for him.
He said that he did not want the Zhong Miao Yi to be absent from her life in the future. He wanted the Zhong Miao Yi to protect him well.
Although the expression on her face was not good, her smile was still as sweet as ever, "Alright, I also hope that in the future, I will have you in my life. You better drink less wine, and leave it for me to drink with you in the future."
Ban Qiu waved her hand. It was unknown if he agreed or not, but he pointed forward with her finger at the side: "There is a bunch of things waiting for him at Su Zeyi's place. She can't pull even a little bit of her body away."
After speaking, he pointed to a different direction and said, "Tang Yao is over there. He's waiting for you. Whether you want to go or not, that's all up to you."
The first reaction of the Zhong Miao Yi who looked at Ban Qiu in panic was actually one where Su Zeyi sent Ban Qiu to probe her.
But then again, Ban Qiu would definitely not do such a thing. Tang Yao must have begged Ban Qiu for this, and Ban Qiu could not bear to see it happening.
"Xiao Yi, I already said, as long as you want to do it, you have to do it. I'm in charge of other things, if you want to see him, you have to go see him. If you want to break it, I'll go see him, it's the same." Ban Qiu was stung by the Zhong Miao Yi's eyes and casually explained.
Zhong Miao Yi lowered her eyes, her mind a mess.
She still didn't know what she owed Tang Yao in her entire life, but she definitely couldn't go.
