Chapter 7: Sacrifice

"Master Hou, don't be in a daze, let them stand up, tiger, mouse, Master Hou is stupid and can't tell the difference, come back to your senses"

Huang Xi and Xiaoqing were taken aback by this formation, but Xiaoqing reacted faster than Huang Xi, and hurriedly reminded Huang Xi that she had experienced this kind of thing when she was by the queen's side before, she entered the palace at the age of four and was sent to Huang Xi at the age of eight, and now she is twelve years older than Huang Xi, but she is well-informed by the queen's side.

"Oh, that makes sense, then you get up, the hole for you to enter and exit is open, and give this marquis a reward, a heavy reward"

Huang Xi reacted immediately after Xiaoqing's reminder, remembered what his mother had said to him, and immediately cheered up, and said to the people below, appreciate the exquisite, reward, is a little bit, there is a reward, it is a little more, the heavy reward is a rich reward, a heavy reward, this does not need to ask and know, all the subordinates like it.

"The little ones, the Hou Ye has orders, rewards, heavy rewards"

The dog leg next to Huang Xi, that is, the chief manager of the Liwang family, shouted Huang Xi's words loudly, as a lackey loyal to the Liwang Mansion, he deeply knows, don't treat yourself as a person, you have to be a dog, you have to be a loyal dog, those who have identity and status are called people, when he is a person, those people look down on him, since he became a dog, most of the so-called people have to please him, and this dog also depends on the owner.

"Lord Xie Houye's reward, my lord's peace"

Everyone saluted and thanked at the same time, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing in unison to thank him, Huang Xi suddenly felt very faced, very excited, it turned out that rewarding is a very happy thing, you are happy, he is happy, I am also very happy, everyone is happy, how good, then we must reward more, anyway, people are stupid, there is a lot of money, I don't care, who let me be born good, my father is called Li Wangye, specializing in all kinds of disobedience, Huang Xi always thinks that Li Wang Ye is high and powerful, all people are afraid of his father, his father is the best, the actual situation is that in the eyes of the royal family of Liguo, Li Wang Ye is the most wretched, the most unpromising guy, fat, timid, and afraid of his wife, The most intolerable thing for them is that the prince of Li can not solve anything, they all run home to listen to their wife's words, this is really the most unbearable behavior for them, they feel that the faces of the people of the Li clan have been lost by the prince of Li, fortunately, there is the support of the emperor, so that the pig waist of the prince will not be knocked down under any circumstances.

The ritual of the country, especially the orthodoxy of the Li clan, the royal family of the country is the most exquisite, the new clan entry ceremony, the ceremony of sacrificing the ancestors is the most solemn and solemn, the sacrifice is a very particular thing, it is necessary to pay attention to the order, and there is no sloppiness.

Step 1 "Embrace the Joy"

The royal family and nobles who go to the sacrifice must change their dresses, go to the old and welcome the new, there are special people in charge, different levels have different people in charge, the color of the dress is unified in white, and the sleeves of the clothes have the colors that distinguish the grades, in turn they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, the royal family is golden, the dead are black, the nine colors correspond to the nine grades, and the nine grades correspond to the nine colors on the armband。

"Dear, please change clothes"

A female seller looked at Huang Xi with a smile, as long as you buy my things, I will smile at you, if you don't buy it, I won't necessarily smile at you, dear, you buy it, Tong Su is not bullied, of course this is fake, a priest who looks quite like Rong Mama, the skin does not smile, the meat does not smile, and looks at Huang Xi with a serious expression, looking like a starving ghost collecting debts, and said to Huang Xi majestically: "Come on, hurry up and change the clothes for that stinky boy, don't delay the time"

"Oh, it turned out to be the elders, and the juniors are so polite, so there are all the aunts who untie my clothes for me"

Huang Xi waved his hand and saluted Mama Rong in front of her, this is explained by the concubine, the priests who took the lead are all relatives of the royal family of the country of Li, this Mama Rong may be one of Huang Xi's grandmothers, his grandmother's, can not be rude, hearing the order, more than a dozen old women walked out behind Mama Rong, Huang Xi's face was cloudy, this treatment is too bad, all five big and three coarse women, all of them dare to owe me money and not pay it back, there is an expression of your good fruit to eat, they walked to Huang Xi's side and saluted respectfully, and then took Xiaoqing very roughly, dogs and others drove to a distance and made them kneel on the ground and wait.

"Light, pain, old witch, where are you touching, grass, you still touch, and you, old witch, I fought with you"

Don't arrange for Huang Xi to get on the carriage to change clothes, an old woman took out a large piece of white cloth, a few people surrounded a circle on the spot, the other old women didn't say a word, went up to change Huang Xi's clothes, and didn't care whether Huang Xi cooperated or not, took the opportunity to repair it, the range of action was very large, this was deliberate, the jade was not a weapon, the little guy who had just joined the clan had a big temper, just to frustrate Huang Xi's spirit, let Huang Xi be honest and obedient, and be a sensible baby, Huang Xi was dumbfounded on the spot, when was he insulted like this, he immediately resisted, hearing Huang Xi's screams, Xiaoqing and everyone couldn't hold back their laughter, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably。

"There is no one who is worry-free, pay attention, don't let this kid lose his manners"

Mama Rong scolded loudly, Huang Xi then understood, pit, he was definitely pitted, it is estimated that the father and the mother absolutely know that there is such a play, no wonder they are not on the same road with him, as a parent, and they don't know how to remind their son, Huang Xi's face is depressed, he doesn't know, he really wronged his parents, the prince of Li knows that he is a person from the past, but it is a scandal, and he will not tell Huang Xi if he is killed, your father and I are ugly, there is suffering, as for the princess, it should only be a glorious tradition of the Li clan, and she is willing to come to the bitterness, which is what she can say as a woman。

"You old guys change my clothes like a concubine who is angry, powerless to resist, so she can only accept it, woo"

Huang Xi complained on his lips, and suffered silently in his heart, tears were kept, if his princess knew that Huang Xi looked at herself like this, maybe a tigress would come down the mountain, and the prince couldn't stop him, help Huang Xi change his clothes, everyone surrounded Huang Xi who was crying and left quickly, as for those sacrifices, the utensils don't have to worry about Huang Xi, there are special officials to be responsible, he can't take care of it, and it is difficult to protect himself.

The place of worship was the Great Altar of the Kingdom, built on the scale of a medium-sized city, and thousands of people gathered at the entrance of the city gate, and everyone gathered to worship, including ordinary people, merchants, officials, Nobles and so on, there are a lot of livestock, pigs, sheep, where to go, sent to the kingdom altar as a sacrifice, the place is very large, so many people stand together, there is no trace of crowding, they stand everywhere in an orderly manner according to the different status, line up, waiting to enter, the sacrifice is limited by hours, not released until the time, only the people of the Li clan can enter first, and they need to wait in case of special circumstances, for example, Huang Xi is a new member of the clan, special circumstances, special treatment.

"High, really high"

Passing through the huge city gate, looking at the towering outer city wall behind him, Huang Xi's mind only felt high, really high, the city wall of this place is three points higher than the city wall of the national capital, and it is also heavily guarded, he walked to the inner city, there are many priests on the road, all of them drag their families with their mouths, more precisely, those priests have dozens of retinues around them, one by one, it makes people unhappy to look at, Huang Xi looked up into the distance, he looked at the buildings in the distance in shock, so magnificent and magnificent, to say that the city wall at the beginning surprised Huang Xi, then now it has broken Huang Xi's cognition。

The Great Altar of the Kingdom is the largest ancestral worship place in the country, it is composed of the buildings of the heavens and the earth and the ghosts and gods, it is extremely grand and magnificent. The main building of the Great Altar of the Kingdom is in the Altar of Heaven, and the priests of the Kingdom mainly live in the Altar of Worship, and the buildings of the Temple of Heaven surround the Tower of Worship like the stars holding the moon, and the residence of the High Priest of the Kingdom is there.

An altar and a tower are composed of a sacrificial bridge that is thousands of meters long and nearly 100 meters wide, and the inner height and outer low are also called the ancestral bridge or the consummation bridge. The bridge is engraved with sacrificial texts, the two sides of the sacrificial bridge are the blood-colored silver fir trees with a large area, the blood-colored silver fir trees are the unique tree species of the country, the excellent tree products that are cold and heat-resistant, do not believe in the character, do not believe in the tree products, the trees are planted here, here are also the burial places of the deceased of the country, after the people of the whole country die, burn to ashes, they must be buried here, the famous, the nameless, all have to be buried here, here naturally becomes the place where the ancestors and the deceased worship the ancestors of the country, which plays a vital role in the unity of the country, there is a Suzhai Palace next to the ancestral tower, that is the residence of the royal family of the Liguo to worship the ancestors, the ancestor tower is towering into the clouds, do not see its height, the kingdom altar is broad, do not see its distance, the king's house, the guards live in the inner city, the altar of heaven is not the annual national sacrifice day or other special circumstances are generally forbidden to enter, the ancestral pagoda is only open to the people with the surname of Li.

Step 2 "Purification"

Of course, this is not a pure body in the palace, and there is no need to practice this skill. Must first from the palace, but to sacrifice must be clean, Huang Xi came to the sacrificial bridge, there are nine big tripods in front of the sacrificial bridge, lined up, according to the color of the orderly discharge, each tripod stands in front of a boy, a virgin, the boy holds a whip, the virgin holds Bai Juan, Bai Juan is a kind of white cloth, the texture is better, Huang Xi according to the previous instructions, walked to the golden tripod, inserted his hand into the tripod, the tripod is clear water, stir a few circles, and then take over the white Juan in the hands of the virgin next to him, there can be no water dripping in the middle, dripping a few drops, the boy whips a few whips, fortunately, the parents explained clearly, Huang Xi paid attention to it, so that the boy was disappointed, Why did you abandon my eyes and stared at Huang Xi, Huang Xi felt goosebumps bubbling non-stop.

Step 3 "Burning Incense"

Huang Xi knelt on the ground, his hands were raised, and immediately a donkey-faced priest came over with incense, in fact, the priest's face was a little long, and he had to carry it, the three incense sticks were thicker than an adult's arm, and he was taller than Huang Xi's height, Huang Xi didn't look up to see, if he saw it, he was absolutely frightened, the priest put the incense on Huang Xi's hand without saying a word, Huang Xi immediately ate a, lying on the ground, looking at the three incense, his body was trembling, which is incense, it is clearly three mallets.

"Play music, young people should be self-reliant, the drum beats to the ninth beat, when kowtow, to show sincerity"

The donkey-faced priest turned around solemnly, and shouted to Huang Xilang, who had a tragic expression, Huang Xi found that he didn't know when, the nine-sided drum that was moved, after the drum sounded a few times, and then the nine-sided drum was beaten in turn, Huang Xi was behind a boy with a whip to follow behind to supervise, as long as the drum stopped, Huang Xi did not kowtow, he immediately whipped, quickly whipped, Huang Xi wanted to go quickly, but the incense was too heavy, it was not easy to take, he gritted his teeth, he could only push the incense, scolded in his mouth, and showed sincerity, you are called a donkey, I see that you are sincere and I can't get by, after all, you have to pay attention to kowtow, he doesn't want to be whipped, can only desperately move forward in the direction of the ancestral temple。
