"The king has an order, and the autumn hunt begins." The general of the Chu army shouted.

Next to him, the nobleman of the Chu State and the king of the Zhao Plain, Zhao Sheng. And Tian Jian finally looked at the big yellow tent in the center with a hint of anticipation.

I saw a few hunched chamberlains and palace maids holding all kinds of wine and food came out first, and after a while, Chu Wang Heng finally came out, at this time he looked more exciting, wearing leather armor made of the best rhinoceros skin hunted on the bank of Yunze, and there were a few strands of yellow tassels on both sides of the chest, which were inlaid with the best pearls of the East China Sea, and the bottom was also wearing the armor worn by the march.

Although it was safe in this way, the king of Chu was a little out of breath after walking a few steps, and there was a little sweat on his forehead, so he had to let the palace maid next to him support him.

However, the king of Chu rested for a while, then put aside the support of the palace maid, mustered up the strength to step on the steps made by the chamberlain, and turned over on a reddish-brown horse.

At this time, there were also about two hundred Chu cavalry troops gathered around him, and there were thousands of Chu army armor soldiers behind him, and there were soldiers holding flags on both sides, he glanced back and forth at the Chu nobles around him, and said with a serious face: "It seems that the large and small nobles of Chu have come, and the autumn hunt has been held for more than 600 years. I don't know how to hunt in autumn, I don't know how to besiege prey, how can I talk about governing the country in the court. Now although the nine tripods of King Luoyi Zhou are heavy, my King of Da Chu Zhuang once asked the weight of the tripods. In a world of great contention, there must be contention. ”

When the dense nobles of the Chu State in front heard this, they were silent for a while, and then immediately the crowd was angry and shouted: "Great Chu Wannian, Great Chu Wannian." ”

Hearing this, the King of Chu nodded with satisfaction and said to the priests beside him, "Okay, let's start!" ”

The priest nodded, and began to swing his crown of feathers with the long feathers of the iris foothills, his face was painted with colorful patterns for some reason, and his body in the fur of a white fox jumped around him, shouting some incantation in his mouth, and looked mysterious, and in front of him there was a tortoiseshell burning back and forth in the fire.

Suddenly, he stopped his movements, knelt down against the fire, kowtowed a few times, and said: "Yin Yin and his people, the fire is burning, and the moon is not seen, but only ghosts and gods." God bless its people, worship it, the sun and the moon flood the light, how to learn from it. ”

The clicking, clattering sound came from the burning tortoise shell in the fire in front of you, and it was particularly noticeable in the silence of the surroundings.

The priest stopped bowing, ordered the surrounding Chu troops to extinguish the fire, and then kept kneeling in front of the fire.

Seeing this, Tian Jian smiled, sure enough, the state of Chu is still a barbarian, this set of methods has long been unworkable in other countries, only the state of Qin and Chu, which are known as the countries of barbarians, still exist.

However, Ji Lian, the ancestor of Chu and Fei Lian, the ancestor of Qin, were once relics of Yin Shang, and it is understandable that they also had the worship of ghosts and gods, after all, the Song State a few decades ago also had similar customs.

However, this set of feudal states in these Zhou clans has already seen the suspicions, and it is even more in the thinking that the Warring States is strong, and the practice of relying on the guidance of ghosts and gods to march has long been abolished, after all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can it be predicted by divination.

However, presumably the march of the Chu State does not need this, otherwise although the Chu State is large, it will inevitably be eaten by the other six countries.

Finally, the tortoise shell finally cooled down, and the priest peeled off the ashes, slowly stroked the cracks of the tortoise shell, closed his eyes, and looked like a god.

Chu Guo couldn't help but ask, "Sacrifice, how is the hexagram?" ”

The priest took a deep breath, drank coldly, put down the tortoise shell gently, turned his head and said respectfully to the king of Chu: "Your Majesty, this autumn hunting ceremony, the king may suffer accidents, but there may be nobles to help, and you can turn evil into good fortune." ”

"Unexpected?" King Chu's brows furrowed, and he stared at the sacrifice carefully: "Then if the widow doesn't go hunting, can the disaster be avoided?" ”

The priest shook his head, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said intermittently: "Misfortune and blessing are unavoidable, who knows that blessing is a curse, and disaster is also a blessing, today's disaster can be avoided, and the king will be exempt from tomorrow's disaster?" ”

The King of Chu's brows tightened, and asked, "Sacrifice, who is the noble?" Who can help the widowed? ”

The priest put away the tortoise shell on the ground, and said mysteriously: "The noble man can do everything, the sky is traced, and all things find it." The king's nobles will inevitably appear when they should appear, and they should not be forced. ”

"Alright then!" King Chu sighed.

"Old slippery head! Old slippery head! Tian Jian kept sighing in his heart, he traveled from the later generations and saw all kinds of scams, the so-called highest scams are like this, and the Taoist priests and monks who tell fortunes in later generations are like this.

With the mysterious hints of God, so that you can believe him, and what he says has a lot of maneuver.

For example, he once heard a joke that three Xiucai went to Beijing to take the exam, and happened to meet a Taoist priest who was a fortune teller, and the three of them took a hexagram from the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest stopped talking, just stretched out a finger, shook his head, and left.

Later, one of the three Xiucai Xiucai was really high school and came back to thank the Taoist priest.

His apprentice exclaimed, "Master, if you are really profound, such things can be expected. ”

His master smiled and said, "If there is one in high school, then one out of three people wins, if there are two in high school, then one person does not win, and if all three of them fail, then one of them does not win." ”

Now this sacrifice says that the king of Chu is in trouble, but there may be nobles who help him to turn evil into good fortune. If you really encounter a disaster, it means that the noble person failed to help successfully, or the noble person did not appear in time, ordinary people will definitely complain about their bad luck when they encounter this situation, and will not blame the sacrifice, but will pay more attention to the sacrifice. If it goes smoothly and there are no twists and turns, ordinary people will definitely not go to the sacrifice, but think that they are lucky, if they go to the sacrifice and ask why there is no disaster, the sacrifice can also say that there is a noble person who has solved your disaster.

"Brother Wang, let's continue the ceremony!" Ling Yin Zilan on the side reminded King Chu of the road.

The king of Chu nodded and shouted to the surrounding cavalry: "This hunt is divided into three teams, the squadron, the left team, and the right team. Among them, the squadron was led by the royal family, followed by the prince Jian of Qi and Pingyuan Jun of Zhao State, the left team was led by Ling Yin, followed by other nobles, and the right team led by Jing, Qu, and Zhao. ”
