Chapter 33: Lost?
Generally speaking, it is a grand ceremony held by the emperor of China to worship heaven and earth during the time of peace and prosperity and auspiciousness from heaven (I don't know what it is), and it has the symbolic meaning that the emperor is ordered by heaven and earth. When this kind www.biquge.info of activity was transmitted to Japan along with the Tang culture, it was immediately loved by the emperor, and after the relocation of the capital, in order to pray for peace and rain in the world, and at the same time consolidate his status and power, the emperor held grand consecration ceremonies throughout Japan.
Of course, "Hozen" may sound like a festival, but in fact it is a series of rituals, with "Ho" representing the sacrifice to the heavens, a festival that can only be held at the closest place to the heavens, that is, the summit of Mt. Fuji, and "Zen" representing the sacrifice to the earth, a sacrifice to be performed throughout Japan.
Pulling Wakazao and Lan in disguise - that is, using illusion - Zhibei stood in the middle of the bustling crowd, listening to the mage on the altar chanting an incomprehensible and seemingly meaningless eulogy - well, Zhibei with the [Voice of All Souls] said that it was indeed a meaningless word - even the sound of the wind retching on a winter night was more meaningful than the eulogy.
Although he wanted to complain, Zhibei still held back, because the people around him didn't say a word, quietly watching the movements of the emperor and the mage on the altar. This atmosphere is so solemn that any slightest movement will be extremely conspicuous, in order to prevent Lan and Wakazao from being involved with the royal family, Zhibei had to firmly grasp the hands of the two little girls to keep them from moving, and at the same time, he maintained a high degree of vigilance to prevent these two little guys from suddenly doing something eye-catching.
Finally, when the mage had finished reciting the meaningless but lengthy eulogy, he waved his hand, and the sacrifice placed in the center of the altar burst into flames, and the bright yellow flames violently licked the disemboweled, crackling, and billowing smoke.
At this time, the mage stepped aside, and the emperor walked directly in front of the sacrifice, he shook his sleeves, waved his hands, picked up a stick of incense from the altar, and solemnly shouted: "May the people of Li live and work in peace and contentment, and the land of Yingzhou will be in good weather, and here, pay homage to the earth!! ”
So saying, the Emperor knelt down first, and put the incense in his hand into the burning altar, and then all the people also knelt down and cried out reverently: "Respect the earth! ”
Of course, Zhibei and Lan and Wakazao are just indiscriminate, and they are all guys who don't respect ghosts and gods, but only respect themselves - well, of course, for Zhibei, respecting himself is equivalent to worshipping God......
Soon, the process of the Zen festival was over, and when the emperor turned around and walked down from the altar, Zhibei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - phew, fortunately nothing happened!! Blue and Wakazao didn't have the slightest intersection with the Emperor...... In this case, the first step can be regarded as over--the-!!
"Ah~ Isn't that Zhibeiqing!!" Somehow, Zhibei just wanted to take the two little girls to the festival to eat, drink and have fun, and the emperor who slowly walked down from the altar spotted him, and the emperor, who was a little older than before, also raised a kind smile and waved his hand warmly.
"......" Zhibei couldn't help but cover his face.
It's not scientific, it's not fantastic!! Why didn't he find out just now, he didn't find it before, and when everything was almost over, this old guy found him......
Watching the Emperor's guards slowly separate the crowd, it was clear that the Emperor was going to come and catch up with Zhibei, so Zhibei had to adhere to his previous purpose - to avoid the two little ones from running into the royal family.
"Blue, Wakazao, let's go play first! I'm going to talk to the Emperor. Zhibei whispered to the two small families, "Also, remember what I said, when you meet people from the royal family, don't get involved with them, okay?" Ruozao, you are more steady, but you have to take care of the blue, okay? ”
"Eun!" Receiving the nod of the two little girls playing with a drilling rig, Zhibei let go of his hand with confidence, raised his head, and motioned for them to go first. Then, he turned his head to look at the emperor, who had slowly approached, and shook his head helplessly in his heart, and then he had to deal with this old fox...... It's annoying!!
"Zhibeiqing, I actually met you here, what a fate! After parting with the past, I always remember your talents, and I always feel that no one in the world can compare with you, so I miss you very much. Your disciple Barnyard Tianqing is also a rare talent, with his assistance, my world is richer and healthier, but Barnyard Tianqing is far less than one-ten-thousandth of you in talent and learning, which makes me regret that I couldn't keep you at that time! ”
"Your Majesty's words are serious, I am just one of thousands of ordinary people, at most I read poetry and books, what talent is there to learn?"
"No, no, no! Zhibeiqing, it's your fault to be too modest, you want to make the world's poor people embarrassed...... Ah, so Zhibeiqing is living in seclusion here? ”
"Yes!"
"Really, that's a ......"
……
While Chihoku was arguing with the Emperor, the Emperor's temporary residence, the home of the mayor of Nasuno Town, was in chaos at the moment.
"Hey, hey, hey! Did you find it? A palace maid ran around, grabbed a passing guard beside her, and asked anxiously.
"Find? Looking for what? The guard rubbed his head and asked suspiciously.
"Ahhhh The palace maid screamed anxiously, "No wonder, no wonder you are so leisurely, hurry up and find it!" Go find it! Go all over the world, and do your best to find it!! ”
"So what the hell is missing?" The guard asked unhappily
"O Crown Prince! Prince Tsubasa is lost!! The palace maid trembled her hands with excitement and shouted.
"You, what do you say???" The guard was stunned, and then he shouted in disbelief, "The crown prince is lost, you can also lose the crown prince, and besides, we are so well guarded, how did we lose it!! ”
"Don't worry about it, if you lose it, you lose it, now the primary purpose is to find it! What are you still fazed about, go and find it, guard!! ”
"Good, good!"
Tsubasa calmly kept his breathing steady, and he watched the guards and palace maids leave through a slit, and then saw the whole mansion in chaos, and many soldiers ran out in a hurry, and then he unhurriedly got out from under the bed, with a mischievous smile on the corner of his mouth, and his body had already changed into a low-key cloth robe.
"Haha~ It's festival time!! After all, he was only a fourteen-year-old child, and when he saw the success of the plan, Tsubasa happily muttered to himself, "Teenagers should have more fun, who is going to memorize that difficult book!! Haha, let's go, my father will definitely understand me~"
Easily dodging the guards and palace maids who were busy looking for people everywhere, he simply came to the street, and looked back, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even brighter.
What is it? This is IQ suppression!!
