However, although the old man was very arrogant, he said a lot of things in just a few words.

"To unify military standards, unified scheduling, of course, there must be a unified market standard, at least the army's weapon standard must be universal, this can almost kill countless people, not to mention, those small companies and small countries, even if they are all sheary countries, are unwilling to give up their status. ”

Wang Jian said: "The most important thing is that they are actually safe. ”

At present, the main force against Warcraft is three-sided, the United States of America independently confronts the enemy in the east and west oceans, and the European coalition forces are also doing a good job in internal integration, and China continues to maintain itself very well, and even aids its Japanese neighbors.

Other countries, in fact, have not been affected much, so they are still alive and well.

Of course, this is also where the big guy is dissatisfied.

Relying on decades of fierce warfare, both Europe and the United States, as well as China and Japan, have cultivated a strong standing army, and it can be said that they have shown an overwhelming advantage over other small countries, and they gradually feel that something is wrong, and it is normal to ask those small countries to give money.

And the Beast Sea Continent is not doing nothing, at least according to the previous discoveries, there is also a gradual possibility of invading those small countries along the coastline.

So, the situation is very complicated.

These things are not something that Wang Jian can participate in the game, even if he plays ten times as hard, he is not qualified, so he is just lamenting here.

"At present, the most noisy may be the emerging start-ups, whether they can enter other countries, and the tariff issue, and those small countries that are not competitive enough know that once they let go of this opening, where they can beat the powerful companies of those big countries, it is serious to fall directly. ”

Wang Jian thought about it, this has nothing to do with him, but he should also prepare to be discharged from the hospital and prepare for his own big event, the rocket can be launched, there is a need for people, and he can't always let the people of the Tang family help him maintain order.

"I'm going to apply for discharge later, so I won't accompany me, and we'll have a chance to talk again." ”

"Well, I haven't introduced my granddaughter to you yet. ”

Wang Jian said: "Let's talk about it next time." ”

"Do you kid look down on me, no, you stay longer, wait until my granddaughter arrives, look at her, but she is the most beautiful. ”

Wang Jian involuntarily glanced at this old man surnamed Lin, no matter how he looks like a person who can give birth to beautiful children, eh, he can't say that, those fat heads and big ears, with a ghostly face, but all of them are surrounded by top beauties, and they are still mixed up one by one every week, so it is really not necessarily.

Wang Jian immediately said: "This, I must say, I really have someone in my heart, no matter how beautiful your granddaughter is, I don't dare to have a heart." ”

This is true.

However, suddenly there was a sound from outside the house, and the door was pushed open, and a voice seemed to be angry, saying, "Grandpa, you are talking nonsense again." ”

A young girl walked in, seemed to be very anxious, walked into Old Man Lin, and said, "You are not staying in the ward, what are you doing here, talking to this kind of indiscreet person." ”

Old man Lin laughed obediently, seemed to be very fond of this, and said, "Yes, my good boy, isn't grandpa here to hang out, this ......"

But she said, "I won't go again, I'll tell my grandmother, you have to talk to the nurse sister cheaply." ”

The old man was giggling, and returned to his ward for the old disrespect.

And the girl, when she was leaving, she leisurely turned her head and glared at Wang Jian, that warning and hostile gaze was definitely capable of killing.

Wang Jian doesn't care.

For now, the rocket is also about to start preparing.

Of course, you have to go back to Suzaku first, and there is something important to do.

Winter solstice.

Before the ceremony began, he really couldn't contact Ji Aoxue.

Although the doctor still didn't dare to let him out of the hospital, he couldn't be arrested like a prisoner, so when Wang Jian ran out, he was holding gauze in his hand, and he was still very relaxed, of course, because the wallet was not there, it was very troublesome to come back.

It is actually very difficult to observe the ceremony from the outside, which is the biggest thing in Jinling City today.

Sacrifice to the sky, only the Son of Heaven can do it.

Ji Aoxue is dressed in fiery red, with various patterns embroidered on it, this dynasty respects fire virtue, and this red robe is an extremely particular thing.

Wang Jian looked at Ji Aoxue, who was expressionless and indifferent, and felt a pity in his heart, but he couldn't run over and love him well, after all, it can be said that martial law is under fire here at this time.

At least a few thousand people participated in the initial ritual, which was relatively simple.

How can any image dare to represent God, and God cares about these red tape, just obey, of course, Rao is so, in Suzaku's Tiandao Square, it was also tossed for more than an hour.

And the people who can come to watch the ceremony are either dignitaries from various countries, big shots, or local officials, Suzaku students, it is impossible for all of them to come, and Wang Jian would not want to approach if he was not holding a specific pass.

That's the rule.

Ji Aoxue kept silent, and an old priest in front of her kept chanting all kinds of words, lighting jade plaques and various tributes prepared in advance, and communicating with the so-called heavenly realm.

The smoke was very strange, but it was not blown away, and it remained a column, gradually reaching the sky, breaking through the clouds and mist, forming a very vast landscape.

Wang Jian pouted and smiled, "This domestic god stick is not simple." ”

He is used to rolling the sheets with the daughter of the Ji family, and he already knows that this so-called world sacrifice is simply fake, it is the so-called cohesion of people's hearts, everyone sacrifices to the sky together, prays together, and increases the sense of participation and existence.

The real sacrifice to the sky is a matter of going to Phoenix Mountain later.

This is also interesting, according to Ji Aoxue, in fact, worshipping the sky does not pay attention to the place, since heaven and earth are people's territory, there is no such thing as liking and disliking.

Sacrifice to the sky, although in order to pay attention to the qualifications, and in ancient times, to improve their own value, so basically they all ask for famous mountains and rivers, and also ask those emperors to give various repairs to the sacrificial rooftop, etc., all for their own interests.

And this ritual of sacrificing to the sky, although Wang Jian is also itchy and wants to conduct research, but he knows the measure.

A woman, who sees you in her eyes, only pays silently, doesn't care that you are already dating her sisters, and openly says that she is willing to maintain a relationship, not a name, if she has to make an inch, it is too much to ask to understand the lifeblood of other people's meals, especially, Ji Aoxue said very formally, she and Wang Jian's children are left, and the power to sacrifice to the sky is passed on to this child.

That's it, what else can Wang Jian do.

So he knows a little bit of the rules.

However, there are real sacrifices.

The sacrifice of ordinary people is just to sacrifice an ancestor, or to reward the gods, to pray for promotion and wealth, etc., there is no new meaning, and there is no rule, it is usually messed up, the so-called tribute, is some fruit pig's head.

And to the higher figures, naturally pay attention to the forced qualifications, higher people, open an ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, which means that the merits and merits of the descendants are reported to the ancestors as a happy event, and the many people are not bullied, which is an ancient version of the method of uniting the hearts of the people with the same surname.

When it comes to high-ranking officials and princes, chaebols and chaebols, they are even more exquisite.

Ancestor worship is not only a kind of emotion that shows that you are now developed and better than you in front of your friends in the past many years, but also a kind of self-affirmation, in fact, with such a goal, it can also bring people positive struggle.

It is also a kind of social activity that is not bad.

Of course, in history, the ancestral halls developed by ancestor worship often developed into clan oppression and lynching, which was excessive.

It's still a folk thing.

When I got to the official, I began to pay attention to it.

Sacrifice is at the cost of offering gifts, people can bow to the gods, can bow to the head, can burn incense and burn paper, but the most affordable way for the gods to sacrifice is to offer sacrifices. Human beings have seven emotions and six desires, and so do the gods. Since people have prayed to the gods, they should be willing to offer their best things to win the favor of the gods. But people's preferences are different, and different gods have their own tastes, so the offerings are varied.

Of course, many people still calculate all kinds of rules.

Just as the joke of eating apples on Christmas Eve must be a discourse made by Huaguo selling apples, all kinds of social rules are actually formed by the mixing of various factors, and if you go after all kinds of reasons, it is probably a very ridiculous thing.

Isn't there a saying that when his mother was a child and made a New Year's ham, he always cut the ham into three pieces, but his wife insisted on cutting the ham into two pieces to meet the rules, and started a New Year's quarrel for this.

The noisy ending is, of course, happy for all, oh no, finding the source of the problem.

In the end, the two confronted their mothers separately.

As a result, their mother's answer was surprisingly unanimous, where do you need to cut the stewed ham, it is nothing more than that the pot at home is so big, and the ham is so long, of course, it must be cut.

The so-called customs are generally like this.

In the early days of human beings, the mastery of spells was only a groping stage, and a few lucky people, after mastering spells, could often take the opportunity to call for wind and rain, pretending to be prophets to mix bowls of rice, as long as they were not burned to death by the villagers.

The original sacrifice was based on food offerings, and the reason is simple.

Rituals originated from offering food to the gods, such as burning millet and offering pork to the gods, digging holes into holes and offering water to the gods, and beating clay drums to make music, so that people's prayers and respect could be conveyed to the spirits, and they prayed for the ability to survive by mysterious powers.

Among the many foods, meat is the top quality, and in the primitive gathering and hunting era, meat was hunted by people desperately for their lives. When primitive agriculture and animal husbandry developed, meat was still extremely valuable.

In the era of farming, carrying a pig's head to find the wrong temple gate was simply the greatest sorrow.

Because of this, meat became the main sacrifice to the gods, and the carnivorous animals used for sacrifices in ancient times were called "sacrifices".

Secondly, the most important thing in Huaguo's sacrifice to heaven is jade.

As the only jade worship nation in the world, the importance of jade as a sacrifice has also been for a long time, and except for the Chinese people, almost all of them are gold worship nations, which is the cultural difference.

The jade ritual vessel is the most special, not to mention the white jade on Ji Aoxue's body.

The Son of Heaven holds a ceremony to worship the heavens, which is held on the winter solstice every year, which is actually very simple, sowing seeds in spring, flood control in summer, and harvesting in autumn.

Therefore, it is most important to have various festivals in winter.

At the same time, it is also reported to the heavens that this year, the country has been in good weather, the activities of cutting people to the outside world have been smooth, and the situation is very good, not a small good.

Since ancient times, various rules for the place and ceremony have been stipulated, from the time, the robes of the Son of Heaven and the order of the ceremony, however, the more later, these rules began to change, especially after the human beings have a more thorough understanding of the spell, the ritual of worshipping the sky is even more clear.

Looking at Ji Aoxue's busyness, Wang Jian remembered that Ji Aoxue said very solemnly that the real sacrifice to heaven was a gift.

No sacrifices, jokes, if there is really providence, then he will be able to see roast pork or pig's head meat or banana oranges.

People don't like this thing.

Not to mention that you incense and burn jade silk, they are all useless things.

"So, what is the sacrifice to heaven? ”

Ji Aoxue was very serious at the time: "Close your eyes, communicate with the sacrificial vessel, and the will of heaven will naturally respond, and at the same time, the will of heaven will scan the heart of the person who sacrificed to the sky, whether it is the bloodline of the Ji family back then, and whether it can achieve a clear state of mind, not moved by external objects, and no evil thoughts in the heart. ”

Wang Jian thought for a while and said, "Then what if it doesn't work." ”

Ji Aoxue thought for a while and said: "There was such a thing back then, someone forcibly thought that he could replace the ancestors to sacrifice to the sky and obtain the power of the ancestors, so he relied on the army in his hands and forcibly sacrificed, and then he was killed by the thunder of the sky." ”

Wang Jian nodded, remembering the conversation at that time.

However, just as a family member of a deceased person asked a monk who performed the rituals for his father, saying that the dead could see this ritual, the monk said that the rituals were for the peace of mind of the living.

Wang Jian, who has been with Ji Aoxue for a lifetime, of course knows that the so-called sacrifice to heaven and communication of "providence" does not need to be so troublesome at all, what is "providence", Wang Jian still doesn't understand, but it is impossible to reach out to test it, but he knows one thing, this is indeed an objective thing, and it is possible to accept feedback and help his country do things.

It can be said that once the protection of Ji Aoxue is done in an accurate location and with enough preparation, she alone will be enough to trigger a huge natural disaster.
