It took a full four or five hours to complete all the sacrificial rituals of the Ghost Festival, which was relatively fast. In the past, the parade of the great powers alone could take about an hour, and sometimes it could last until the next morning.
Xiao Xu simplified the ceremony, and the people did not find anything wrong with it. Instead, they liked this method.
After returning to Qingxiu Mansion wearing complicated sacrificial clothes, Xiao Xu was so tired that he fell onto the bed, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
The doors were not locked.
Late at night, Xiao Xu vaguely felt someone standing at the head of her bed. Because she was too tired, her eyelids were particularly heavy. She just opened her eyes a little to take a look, and then closed them again.
Little did she know that the person standing in front of her bed was Ana Shen, who was wearing a thin coat.
At this moment, he had already changed out of his equally complicated crescent-shaped sleeves.
He reached out his hand, picked her up from the upper part of the bed, slowly took off her headdress, and straightened her long black hair.
Then, he reached out and gently untied the complicated sacrificial robe, placed the belt neatly on the head of the bed, and took the pillow.
He placed her head on a high pillow, smoothed out the hair that playfully covered her lips, and pressed his thumb against her smooth, fair skin.
Ana Shen’s eyes suddenly became extremely deep.
Looking at those moist, bright red lips, he pressed his thumb on them.
Gently wipe off the lip balm to reveal the original light pink color.
Ana Shen pulled the quilt over her, covered her with it, tucked the corners of the quilt, and then stood up, carrying the complicated priest's robes in his hands, and left the room.
When he left the house, he blew out the candle and said expressionlessly to the sleeping person, "Good night."
Then he closed the door, walked in the moonlight, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.
The next day.
When Xiao Xu woke up, it was already noon.
She turned over, got up, and stretched.
Before he even got out of bed, Fu Qiyin's voice appeared in his mind.
"The sacrificial ceremony last night went well, surprisingly nothing went wrong."
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow. "Hmm? Not bad. Actually, I forgot a lot of etiquette. Luckily, someone was there to remind me."
Fu Qiyin laughed: "If I hadn't suppressed those restless undead for you, I'm afraid you would still be scattering talismans all over the street."
What do you mean?
Xiao Xu was puzzled: "Last night... were there ghosts?" She didn't feel anything, but instead felt that the spirituality of the air had become much purer.
Unexpectedly, Fu Qiyin was helping him silently in secret.
Fu Qiyin: "Of course, the whole capital is full of them, but because I sacrificed some of my spiritual power to offer sacrifices to the gods, the ghosts were temporarily suppressed. Your sacrifices later also played a certain role, so we were able to get through it safely."
Xiao Xu felt like her whole body was about to stand on end when she heard this. Fortunately, she had become a human now. If she were still a bird, her feathers would have stood up by now.
They’re all over the capital!
This number is terrifying to think about.
Moreover, at that time, there were so many people participating in the Zhongyuan Festival sacrifice. If something really happened, the consequences would definitely be serious.
Xiao Yu was horrified at the thought of the whole city in panic.
Fu Qiyin: "Don't think too much about it. It's over. The sacrificial ceremony went smoothly and brought good luck. This is also good."
Xiao Hehe got out of bed and put on his shoes.
Then she caught sight of the belt on the bedside and was stunned.
Recalling what happened last night.
She remembered that as soon as she returned to her room, she lay down and fell asleep.
So…
His eyes fell on the pure white inner garment.
Who took off her robe?
