Chapter Seventy-Six: Not Subject to Three Animals
The state of Wu attaches great importance to the wedding etiquette, and the princess marries and the prince marries the wife must go through such a ritual to ask the gods for auspicious days. The difference between pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is that there are seven classes of the prince music class and five classes of the princess music class.
In late May, the Xiaotong Mountain Altar began to be repaired. On June 10, King Wu issued a decree ordering Wu Ying to clean the Golden Altar. On June 13, Du Zhan invited the stone slab to engrave Du Dongling's birthday. On June 14, the livestock and sacrificial vessels were prepared. On June 15, Xiaotong Mountain set up a golden altar, and Zhao Yucheng asked for his life and worshiped the altar.
The statue of Tongshan god standing in the middle of the golden altar is two zhang four feet and three points high, and the four sides set up the tablet of the mountain god in the east and west, north and south, and the offerings, offerings, and the club are ready. On top of the shrine made of five-colored satin, in front of the row are placed a large number of offerings such as jade, silk, whole cow, whole sheep, whole pig, wine, fruit, and dishes. There are five classes of clubs in the lower row, which are neatly arranged and solemn and magnificent.
At the time of the hour, the golden bell of the golden altar of Xiaotong Mountain rang three times, and Zhao Yucheng was led by the princess's guard of honor to walk to the golden altar. The bells stopped and the drums sounded, and the ceremony officially began.
The four corners of the golden altar are hung with sky lanterns, the mountain god statue is a bronze tripod in front of it, the big bowl of incense with the thickness of the wrist in the tripod, the incense on both sides, a long stone platform in front, three animals are sacrificed on the stone platform, and then a table in front, a small stove on the table, and the furnace is the mountain soil of Tongshan. The smoke and clouds are ethereal, Zhao Yucheng pious three worships, please incense.
The altar was solemn, and the people watching the service under the altar were silent. Zhao Yucheng lit incense to worship, and suddenly the fine incense in his hand broke. Zhao Yucheng was stunned for a moment, and the people who sacrificed on the side hurriedly handed over the incense again.
What's going on? How could this happen? Zhao Yucheng was worried, lit incense and worshipped, and suddenly the bowl of incense in the bronze tripod broke!
Zhao Yucheng was startled, got up suddenly, and took a few steps back, could it be that there is really a god above his head and three feet? The incense in Zhao Yucheng's hands was also scattered.
The drum musicians were also stunned, and the drummers stopped and looked at each other. The incense is broken, and it is unlucky. Do you want to continue? The chief priest did not dare to call the shots, so he asked Wu Yong for orders.
As soon as the drum music stopped, the people under the golden altar were also shocked, and the scene was chaotic. What's going on? The people who watched the ceremony were all terrified, but the sacrifice was solemn, and they did not dare to turn their heads and ears. In front of the crowd, only Chen Xiu slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.
Du Zhan was a little happy in his heart, if the auspicious day was not successful, this marriage would naturally be far away. Providence is like this, what else can King Wu say.
Wu Yong twisted his eyebrows and shouted angrily, "Where is the priest!" ”
After a short time, the chief priest came. Wu Yong was even more angry, "What happened just now, let them continue to play music." Find someone to quickly replace the broken incense on it. ”
"Third Highness, this ...... This was all good when I checked it yesterday, who would have thought that this Tianzhu bowl incense could ...... "The priest is embarrassed," this time and a half, there is nowhere to find it. ”
Wu Yong frowned, the 'princess' got married, it stands to reason that he should have watched the ceremony, but Du Dongling is a princess, and this Zhao Yucheng is from Wupu. Wu Yong was already dissatisfied in his heart, and when such a situation appeared, his eyes suddenly widened, "If the incense is broken, don't ask for incense, let Zhao Yucheng continue, and start sacrificing three animals." Tell them that no matter what happens, don't stop the drumming! ”
"But this ...... incense"
"What's wrong with Xiang?" Wu Yong stared at the priest, he was stunned, how dare the priest speak, and replied again and again.
The drum music was played again, and three more sacrifices were made. Zhao Yucheng was nervous, and cautiously uncovered the red silk covering the three animals, and suddenly with a bang, the stone platform where the three animals were put collapsed.
Break the bowl of incense first, and then collapse the altar, this is a big bad luck! The scene was out of control in an instant, the solemn altar could no longer be maintained, and everyone looked at Zhao Yucheng one after another.
The god of Tongshan Mountain refused to accept his incense and refused to accept his 'three animals', which is the will of heaven that he is not allowed to marry a 'princess'!
Suddenly, the northern divine wind blew, the divine curtain was lifted, the flags were broken, and the originally sunny day suddenly gathered dark clouds.
The crowd was in confusion, and some of them were already on their knees and worshipping. The mountain god apparitions.
Chen Xiu was also shocked when he looked at the clouds from all directions. Chen Xiu doesn't have this ability, but he only relies on knowing the way of civil engineering to perform these little tricks. Besides, this is not the same as opening mountains and moving the leylines, the wood and stones are just dead, how can it also alarm the Heavenly Dao? Was he targeted by the 'Heavenly Dao' last time he opened the mountain, or did this altar not allow him to play this trick? If so, if he continues with the next thing, won't he attract thunder again?
Chen Xiu knew that this Xiaotong Mountain sacrifice to the Tongshan Mountain God was modeled after the ancient times to the ancestral god Changhuang sacrifice, since the fall of the Changhuang, most of the human world has forgotten for thousands of years, and there is only a little ritual handed down in the Central Plains in this Wu Guoyukou. The Changhuang Festival, how could Chen Xiu make trouble?
Chen Xiu was frightened and didn't dare to act again.
Suddenly, the divine wind in all directions also stopped suddenly, and a scroll fell from the sky and landed in the middle of the golden altar.
Everyone has also seen it, kneeling down and shouting, "The mountain god has decreed, and the heavenly god has decreed!" ”
The chief priest was frightened, and stepped forward to pick it up, opened it and read it. The scroll reads, 'The goddess of life should be worthy of the supreme of the world'.
This sentence is like five thunderbolts, Zhao Yucheng is already dead. His business calculations are empty again, he thought he was about to rise to the top, but it turned out to be a bolt from the blue!
Wu Yong was stunned, how should this situation end? Listening to it again, there is even more discussion.
One said, "Is this goddess talking about Du Dongling?" ”
One said, "That's what it should be." The goddess is destined to be respected, and Zhao Yucheng is unbearable, so there are all kinds of strange images. ”
One said, "Then the supreme in the world is talking about the Son of Heaven." ”
One shook his head, "Xinling's current little Tianzi, he came from seeking power and usurping the throne, not the 'Supreme' but the 'supreme thief'." ”
"So, this 'Supreme' should be His Royal Highness Yukou?"
One said, "This should be the case, it should be the case." His Highness has attained the crown and should marry a wife to continue the offspring. ”
Du Zhan was uneasy, someone was making trouble. He didn't know who it was, but it must have something to do with Qiheng. This will inevitably anger King Wu, what can Dong Ling do?
When this happened at the altar, everyone knelt on the ground and bowed, asked Wu Yong for a decree to end the sacrifice, and returned to the palace to ask for a decree from King Wu.
The brigade returned to Yukou. King Wu sits in the court, and Qiheng is in the court.
Hundreds of officials worshipped, and said what happened at the altar. King Wu was suspicious, was this really divine will or artificial? Qi Heng smiled, sure enough, sure enough, although Chen Xiu didn't kill Zhao Yucheng, the result was the same.
The chief of the ceremonial ceremony said, "The meaning of the god of Tongshan Mountain is so, please ask the king to withdraw Du Dongling's marriage." ”
King Wu frowned, "Since it is the will of God, then withdraw the will." As for the 'supreme under heaven'. King Wu pondered, and said, "The Supreme should be the Son of Heaven, but His Royal Highness has not yet succeeded to the throne, I am afraid ...... Tongshan is the source of the world's mountains and rivers, and it should be respected. ”
Qi Heng's heart trembled. Du Zhan's eyes moved, "Dare to ask what the king has to say?" ”
Wu Wang said, "If it is said that the supreme person in the world should be the Son of Heaven, but now the lonely person is just a puppet child. If you say the supreme, it should be the ancestor of the hundred mountains in the northwest and the source of the hundred rivers. He also said, "It is the most appropriate to pass the order to make Du Dongling the goddess of Tongshan!" ”
Most of the people knew King Wu's thoughts, and they all bowed and said, "The king is wise." ”
Qi Heng stared dryly. (To be continued.) )
