Chapter 70: The Grand Ceremony
To the south of the imperial capital city, about a hundred miles away, stands a huge stone tablet about 30 meters high, the stone tablet is white jade-colored, straight up and straight down, like a knife blade. At a cursory glance, there is nothing special, but when you look at it for the second time, there will be a strange feeling in people's hearts, which is a kind of heartiness.
Around the stele, there is a wide clearing, neat and bright, and there is no debris to be seen except for some lush trees. Being here is a sense of tranquility and peace, as if all the distractions of the world are far away from you.
Led by the words of the heart, countless people knelt down in front of the stone tablet and kowtowed respectfully to the stone tablet. Their faces were filled with great reverence, as if the stone tablet in front of them was all they had in life. In front of the stele, there were already all kinds of flowers and fruits, as well as all kinds of unknown sacrificial vessels. At the time of the sacrifice, there was no noise around, and people's minds were completely placed on the sacrificial stone tablet, and there was no noise, and even people's thoughts were stuck on piety, and any private feelings could not be heard here.
A few minutes of silence were as long as heaven and earth. Finally, Xinyu respectfully kowtowed to the stele again, then got up slowly, walked slowly to the stele, and said sincerely: "Great First God, Duan Xinyu of the Yuntian Emperor Dynasty and his subjects have come to thank you, thank you for the meticulous care of the First God, so that the Yuntian Emperor Dynasty can be safe and healthy, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment." In addition to thanking the First God, I would like to ask the First God to send down the grace of God again, so that I can feel your kindness. ”
Huang Li's crisp voice like a valley lingered faintly in front of the stone tablet, and then slowly drifted away. After a while, the stele suddenly trembled slightly, and in an instant, countless rays of white and sacred light burst out from the stele, rendering the entire sky * and beautiful, and after the light surrounded the air for a while, it quickly shone on everyone who worshipped sincerely.
In just a few seconds, the light faded. But on everyone's face, there is a look of satisfaction and happiness. It seems that at this moment, everyone feels the blessing of the First God, and they feel that everything in themselves, even their souls, has been washed away by the radiance of the First God or after them.
"This is the glory of the First God!" the same voice rose in everyone's mind, firm and mysterious. Bathing in the divine grace is not once or twice, but each time, it will give people a different feeling.
At the same time, everyone respectfully said in their hearts: "This is the power of the First God!"
The light disappeared, Xinyu slowly turned his body, looked at the smiles on the faces of many people, and unconsciously bowed his head slightly, and said, "People, let's carnival!"
Waves of heat rushed to the sky in an instant, and the heartfelt cheers rose higher and higher. Whether they know each other or not, whether they are rich or poor, they all hug and laugh.
Xinyu smiled and looked at the joy of everyone, and couldn't help it, a little miss flashed on his calm face, looking at the sky, and there was an endless desire in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the time has come, and you can go back to the palace. Min'er whispered behind her.
As if he hadn't heard the words in his heart, he still looked at the sky in a daze, and whispered: "If Nie Ying is here, this grand ceremony will be the most perfect." But now, I think it's ridiculous, he's not there, it's nothing. ”
"Your Majesty, be cautious, this is the location of the Divine Monument. Ge Lianqi was a little surprised, the First God played a supreme position in everyone's heart. The Divine Monument is the spokesperson of the First God on the mainland, and anyone who is disrespectful to the Divine Monument is disrespectful to the First God, and this consequence is something that no one can bear.
Xinyu smiled indifferently: "If there is a spirit in the Divine Monument, then let me know if Nie Ying is safe when he is there?" Do you think that I can stand here today and be so calm and relaxed, is it really blessed by the First God?"
At this time, she suddenly understood that Nie Ying had said that the so-called gods were just more powerful than mortals in terms of energy, and some magical powers, we can't understand them, but it doesn't mean that they are omnipotent, if so, why are there so many people on the continent who suffer great misfortune. If the First God were loving, would he have allowed this to happen?
At that time, Xinyu also objected and warned Nie Ying to put away such thoughts. But today, I suddenly woke up, under God, there are all ants, but ants, too, have dignity, if you want to be respected, then you must come up with a reason that can make people respect. The First God was fair, and everyone heard their prayers and would be gracious in response to their prayers. However, among these people, there are good people and bad people, and the first God generalizes, is it not good and bad?
Looking at the shock on the faces of Ge Lianqi and the others, he said calmly: "You two don't need to panic, my words can't be heard by the First God, because at this moment, grand ceremonies are being held in various places on the mainland, and his old man is busy with no blessings, so he has time to pay attention to us." ”
Ge Lianqi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you have to be calm, this kind of talk will end here, don't mention it again." If you let the Duan family hear it, then you can also abdicate. Between his eyebrows, a trace of helplessness clearly appeared, he knew that his heart was on Nie Ying, and there were too many feelings on him. Ordinary people are just fine, but heart words are not good.
Xinyu looked at Duan Wen and sneered: "Look at his nervous appearance, isn't he also full of murderous aura in front of the Divine Monument? When I met the old ancestors of the Duan family, I wanted to see how they explained it?"
"Your Majesty!" Ge Lianqi was speechless, this woman who had been watched by him since she was a child was no longer something he could understand.
Xinyu smiled, slowly walked down the monument, and walked towards the crowd, and when the guards wanted to step forward to protect them, they were stopped by Xinyu. Everyone in joy suddenly looked at their empress curiously, not understanding why the empress had such a move.
Soon, Xinyu came to the crowd, and beside her, there happened to be Duan Wen and others standing. Duan Wen's heart was slightly cold, and he secretly looked at the color, and when he saw that he was not very happy, he knew that he had won his heart, and he suddenly made a move for no reason, which was undoubtedly unsettling at this tense moment.
Ignoring Duan Qian's question, he said loudly: "The grace of the gods is vast, everyone in front of the Divine Monument, you should remember that as a citizen of the Dynasty, you must always put the Imperial Dynasty first, and the First God will know what you want and do." ”
Duan Wen sneered, sure enough, it was this set that knocked on the shocking tiger! It's just that he didn't expect that in front of the Divine Monument, Xinyu would say these words. The thoughts in the heart are thoughts, but no one dares to say them here.
Xinyu continued: "The first god is very generous, and I am also very generous. You are all my people, I regard you as my family, and I hope that I will try to let go of the ambitions in your hearts. If you are in a certain position, then you have to live well in this position, and the unnecessary impulses will probably end up leaving you with nothing!"
There was silence in the field, and the simple words made many people understand that this was the final warning. Looking at the different expressions of everyone in front of him, he smiled lightly: "It's almost time, let's go back, at night on the palace square, I won't get drunk with you and not return!"
The calmness revealed calmness, and this confidence made Duan Wen shocked, and he had vaguely felt that their plan for today was probably known by Xinyu. But the arrow is on the bow and has to be sent. What reassured him a little was that beside Xinyu, except for Ge Lianqi, the woman who was suspected of being a peak powerhouse did not appear. With her current lineup, Duan Wen is much more confident.
"Your Majesty, please go first!"
Without saying anything, Xinyu went straight to the carriage. The voice of the Wind Chaser kicked off another event.
The team of centaurs marched back in a majestic manner, and along the way, they seemed to be thinking about the last words of their hearts, making the scene extremely quiet and a little weird.
On a valley, an old man stood tall, his eyes staring at the monument, and an incomparably fiery strong feeling flashed in his eyes. Next to the old man, there was a handsome young man in a strong suit, and when he saw the old man with such a look, he couldn't help but smile respectfully: "Father Wang, you have waited for so many years, and finally let you wait for today." ”
After staring for a long time, the old man turned his head and looked at the young man, and the old man smiled with relief: "For so many years, in order to realize the wish in my father's heart, it is really hard for you brothers!"
"What did the royal father say, you are so ambitious, that children should learn. The young man said calmly.
The old man nodded, and in a moment, the smile on the old man's face disappeared abruptly, and he changed to a solemn and somewhat helpless expression, which made the young man's heart tremble slightly.
"Shan'er, do you know Nie Ying?" the old man asked.
The young man replied, "I have heard from my second brother that this person is very useful to the great cause of the king's father. I wonder what the royal father told him to do?"
After looking at the young man for more than a few minutes, the old man said in a deep voice: "Nie Ying has a sentence that is very right, he asked the old man, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"This man is bold!" cried the young man angrily.
The old man waved his hand and continued: "It was this sentence that made the old man think about it a lot. In fact, the matter is very simple, the old man and the first emperor are brothers of the same root, but now the old man is about to compete with his descendants for the throne. Shan'er, you and Wen'er are the pride of the sky, no matter how talented and intelligent, they are all comparable, with your help, the old man is also handy. Today's move, the old man has been planning for so many years, and you can also see that now, the great cause is about to be in hand, but the old man has to worry... ”
"Is the royal father worried that the child and the second brother will one day embark on your path for the sake of the throne?" The young man took over the words, and immediately said: "Father Wang, rest assured, no matter who your great cause is handed over, the child and the second brother will not do such unfilial things. ”
"Unfilial piety?" the old man couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, compared to his brother and father, how could the old man's move not be unfilial?
Looking at the old man, the young man suddenly woke up and hurriedly said, "Father, the child didn't mean to offend you. In short, you can rest assured that the child will listen to the royal father's arrangement and will never fight with the second brother. ”
The old man sighed slightly, how could he, who was old and refined, not hear the little prickly taste in the young man's words? Just as he was about to continue to say something, he caught a glimpse of a golden yellow out of the corner of his eye.
"It's coming!"
