On the first day of the eighth month, it is the day to worship the great god Nuwa.

After Xiong Huai feasted on the revenge liquid, he bathed and fasted for three days in a row.

On this day, Xiong Huai wore the refined crown used in the sacrifice, wore a solemn royal robe, and then hung up his sword, and then deliberately discarded all the beautiful jade on his body, and instead wore two specially selected refined five-colored stones.

After dressing up clearly, I went out and went.

Outside the Chu Palace, the ministers rushed to the palace early in the morning, because of the sacrifice to be held today, so the ministers were all waiting outside the palace.

When the frame of the King of Chu arrived, the ministers went to the bank of the river not far from Ying, under the leadership of Ling Yin.

At the riverside altar.

Taibu stood under the altar, and the ministers lined up on either side of the altar.

When everything was ready, Xiong Huai walked towards the altar step by step under the guidance of a great witch.

At this time, when the ministers saw the very solemn King of Chu, they were shocked.

Although the clothes of the king of Chu are the same as those used to worship the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, they are all heavy crowned and thick robes, coupled with the Tai'a sword at his waist, everything is as usual, and it is more majestic than usual.

However, this time, everyone's eyes were all attracted by the five-colored stone on the waist of King Chu.

I saw that the five-color stone is full of five colors, white, blue, black, red and yellow, symbolizing the five virtues, and the five-color stone can be corroborated with the five-color stone of the five-color phoenix, without other people's prompts, just look at it to know that this thing is the five-color stone of the artifact of mending the sky. At the same time, the boundaries of the five-color stones are clear, and between each other, the sky is seamless, and the carved appearance can not be seen at all, as if it is one.

Under the illumination of the sun, the five-color stone is dazzling, shining, and it looks particularly dazzling, no, it is a little dazzling.

At the same time, as the King of Chu moved, the two five-colored stones collided with each other, making a crisp sound. The sound is smooth and orderly, indicating that its owner is not in a hurry when he moves.

At this moment, the ministers didn't notice the king of Chu at all, but looked at the five-colored stone on the waist of the king of Chu attentively, and their minds were in chaos.

The legendary five-color stone, the artifact of mending the sky, was actually worn on the waist of the king of Chu, isn't the king of Chu afraid of the blame of the great god Nuwa?

Also, according to legend, King Chu got a five-color stone, why did King Chu hang two pieces around his waist, and there was still one on the altar.

Especially the feudal monarchs who had never witnessed the five-colored stone of the five phoenixes in the temple, they kept muttering in their hearts.

Could it be that the rumor is wrong, the five-color stone that the King of Chu got is not a piece?

This Nuwa god treats the King of Chu too much, right?

Not only did he give the King of Chu an artifact, but he gave three pieces in a row, so that the King of Chu was extravagant enough to directly wear the five-colored divine stone.

Don't?

Could it be that the Mandate of Heaven really lies in the King of Chu?

Thinking about it, the feudal monarchs looked at the king of Chu again, and suddenly felt that the body of the king of Chu had a strange color, and at this moment, the body of the king of Chu seemed to become more tall and majestic.

While everyone was suspicious, Xiong Huai had already ascended to the altar, read the sacrifice, and then threw the sacrifice into the brazier and burned the gods.

When the sacrificial text burned out, Xiong Huai commanded loudly: "Taibu, sacrifice, sacrifice to the great god Nuwa." ”

"Yui!"

In a short time, two oxen were placed on the altar.

At this time, when the ministers saw this, their hearts were shocked again.

The king of Chu took his ministers to hold a national sacrifice, and on such a solemn occasion, he actually sacrificed Nuwa with two Taigong, which was a heavy gift for sacrificing Taiyi.

The king of Chu used such a heavy gift?

Could it be that the king of Chu really got the protection of the great god Nuwa? Otherwise, why is the king of Chu like this?

Thinking about it, everyone suddenly felt that the mystery on King Chu's body was even thicker.

Then, after Taibu completed the ritual of sacrificing to the gods, Xiong Huai slowly spoke: "The Six Kingdoms attacked me, and at this time of crisis, the great god Nuwa showed miracles and the temple, and gave the widows five-colored stones to encourage the widows to continue to fight against the Six Kingdoms.

Fortunately, thanks to the blessing of the gods, the protection of the ancestors, and the service of the ministers and soldiers, they were able to defeat the attack of the Six Kingdoms in one fell swoop. ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai paused for a moment, and then continued: "Now that the six countries have retreated, the country is reassuring, and the widow feels the gift of the great god, so he deliberately sacrifices to each other, and hopes that the great god Nuwa will give blessings. ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai turned around, faced the ministers, and said to Taibu on his side: "Please also ask Taibu for divination to ask the gods." ”

"Yui!" Taibu answered, then turned around and got off the altar and began the divination ceremony.

After a short time, Taibu took out the tortoise shell from the fire, and when he looked at it, he immediately showed a look of great joy.

Then, he quickly came to the king of Chu and shouted loudly: "King, divination results, good luck." ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and then he was overjoyed: "Okay, fortunately, with the protection of the gods, my Chu State will surely prosper in the future." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at Taibu again, and said in a very loud voice: "Taibu, the widow heard that the old Gonggong was angry and touched the Zhou Mountain, the pillar was broken and the sky was broken, and the water of the Tianhe River fell to the earth, causing the world to flood raging. Fortunately, the great god Nuwa refined stones to make up for the sky, which blocked the heavenly caves, prevented the heavenly water from continuing to flow into the earth, and returned the world to peace.

Moreover, few people have heard of it, and people are created by the great god Nuwa, and Nuwa is the mother of people. The merit of creating people, virtue covers the world, and everyone in the world admires and is grateful to Dade.

Therefore, the widow thinks that the great god Nuwa is a mother, and has the great merit of mending the sky, and these two merits are enough to be on a par with the four emperors.

And few people have heard that there are five virtues in the sky, such as today, there are only four emperors of white, green, yellow, and red, and only the black emperor of the north is missing, which is not complete for the five virtues.

The Black Emperor is good at water, and the great god Nuwa makes up the sky and governs the water, which can be described as the god of water. As the saying goes, the heavens are south and the earth is north, and the great god Nuwa, as the god of the earth, lives in the north, and is the god of the north.

Not long ago, the widow dreamed of the goddess, claiming to be the god of the north, and came to bless the widow.

Now that I think about it, there are five virtues in the sky, and there are five emperors, and those who lack one emperor are designated as the great gods of Nuwa. ”

Taibu, who had long been mentally prepared, immediately exclaimed in amazement as soon as he heard the words of the King of Chu: "The king is wise, there are five virtues and four emperors in the world, and the minister has long felt that there is one emperor missing, and it turns out that the great god Nuwa is the legendary Black Emperor." ”

Hearing Taibu's words, Xiong Huai smiled in his heart, then walked a few steps to the inside of the altar, came to the side of the altar near the ministers, and then spoke: "The widow wants to take the great god Nuwa as the black emperor, and the other four emperors and the five emperors, and hold a sacrifice every year today, I don't know why Zhu Qing thinks so." ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai put all his attention on the feudal monarch among the ministers.

With Nuwa as the Black Emperor, although he has a lot of relationship with the ministers, he has a greater relationship with the feudal monarchs.

Because of the addition of an emperor, the local feudal monarchs need to have an extra sacrifice, so that the feudal monarchs have an extra point of worship every year.

Whether the feudal monarchs will give this money or not, this is exactly the purpose of sacrificing Nuwa so heavily this time. is not only to deify himself, but also a temptation to the feudal monarch.

Although the strength of the feudal monarchs has been greatly weakened, there are still a large number of feudal monarchs on the Jianghuai side, and the strength of their unity should not be underestimated. What's more, the feudal monarch of Hannan is still unstable.

If in the face of the Black Emperor, the ministers all directly admit it, then it means that the blow to the feudal monarch has made them afraid, and the majesty of the King of Chu has been established.

Next, you can directly dispatch Ling Yin.

If the feudal monarchs oppose it en masse, then the matter of sending Ling Yin to the feudal monarch must be cautious, or it must be slow, and the feudal monarch of Jianghan must be solved first, and then concentrate on dealing with the feudal monarch of Jianghuai.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai's gaze swept over the faces of the ministers, and he asked secretly:

So, now, how do you choose?
