White snowflakes drifted in the sky again, driving away the warmth of the sun. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info cold wind came from the far south, blowing through the territory of Chu and continuing to the north. Yingdu in the fierce cold wind is still lively and prosperous.

Today is the last day of the eighteenth year of King Chu Hui, and it is also the most important day for all the countries in the Central Plains. Perhaps in other vassal states it is only the Chinese New Year's Eve to welcome the new and remove the old, but in the Chu State it is still a day of sacrifice to the heavens.

The people living in Yingdu, dressed in thick Chu clothes, left their houses and went to Dongcheng.

Originally, everyone thought that this year's festival had undergone a big change, and maybe there would be no sacrifice ceremony. But no one expected that the day before yesterday, the sacrificial shrine announced that the ceremony of worshipping the heavens would be held as usual. Suddenly, the quiet Yingdu boiled again, and it made countless believers excited.

Of course, for ordinary people, the liveliness of the worship ceremony is what they yearn for, and for believers, this is what they are most looking forward to pilgrimage. It's just that for the royal family and the Qing family, they care more about the person who presides over the worship of the sky.

In the past, the ceremonies were presided over by the national teacher himself, but this year, the Chinese teacher of the holy land of sacrifice returned to the arms of the saint, and three of the five major sacrifices defected, and one escorted the body of the national teacher Huayang to the shore of the East China Sea, so it should be the only big sacrifice to preside.

But the people who always pay attention to the sacrificial holy land know that the disciples of the Daomen have not left the sacrificial holy land, so the person who is likely to preside over the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is Lin Shi, a disciple of the Daomen.

After all, Lin Shi's disciples can be said to be orthodox in the state religion, and in the hearts of the die-hard faction who stayed in the sacrificial holy land, Lin Shi was an even nobler existence than the national teacher.

Therefore, the royal family and nobles and the Qing family are looking forward to it, and they are also waiting for the content of this worship ceremony.

The streets of Dongcheng were crowded with people, countless people flocked to the sacrificial holy place, and even believers from thousands of miles came from far away to kowtow to the sacrificial holy place step by step, in order to express their faith and prove their respect for the pilgrimage.

At the main entrance of the sacrificial shrine, only two priests are maintained. It stands to reason that with so many people, the two priests are simply not enough. However, there was no confusion, but the rules waited.

Quite simply, this is a sacred place of sacrifice, and it is the most sacred place in the hearts of Chu people.

Even ordinary people, who are not believers, do not follow anyone to desecrate this place, which is the majesty left by the state religion for thousands of years.

Boom~~~~~

Suddenly, a bell rang, and the bronze bell in the attic for a long time, which had been left behind by the great priest at the moment, rang the bronze bell that had not been struck for hundreds of years. At the same time, he also informed everyone in Yingdu that from now on, the Heaven Worship Hall will be held during the day, and from now on, there will be no sacrificial holy place in Chu State, only the Starlight Hall, one of the five halls of the state religion.

In the history of the 300-year ceremony, the ritual of sacrificing to the holy land to respect the Chu State has always been held at night. But the moment the bell rings today, it means that the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is about to begin, and the rules of the Chu State are not observed.

But what really made all the big people care was the latter meaning, the sacrificial holy land of Chu State disappeared among the five major sacrificial holy places, and was replaced by the Starlight Guild Hall, which had disappeared for three hundred years, and reappeared on the land of the Central Plains.

"The dragon that once stood for a thousand years will open its eyes and show its fangs in the future," muttered countless people.

The bell cleared the clouds surrounding the altar, revealing the true appearance of the Void Altar with a bear. The altars that are stacked on top of each other like clouds are mottled and dilapidated under the erosion of time, but the historical heritage that emanates from the breathless makes everyone heavy.

The sacrificial holy land of Chu was a bear thousands of years ago, and it was the capital of the establishment of the three emperors. When the emperor disappeared in the Central Plains, the once prosperous country collapsed and disappeared without a trace. Only this altar is left to stand in the wilderness swamps of the south, but it is no longer possible to see the glory of the ancient human race.

In the crowd, Lu Qiqian accompanied his classmates from the Academy of Literature, looked at this lonely altar, and couldn't help but sigh sadly, "How lonely and lonely it is in the wind and rain for thousands of years"

"The glory of the human race in ancient times has been annihilated in history, and it is difficult to get a glimpse of the original appearance," Lu Qiqian's fellow student of the Academy of Literature sighed.

Lu Qiqian shook his head and said, "The history is so heavy that people can't breathe, not to mention the difficulties of the human race during the Three Emperors period. It is the hardships of the human race in the era of the Five Emperors, and it is also an unforgettable memory for us."

The ancient three emperors are difficult to trace, after all, there have been faults in history, everything that was once disappeared, and can only be understood from a few words, which makes people unable to really feel the difficulties at that time. However, the hardships of the human race during the Five Emperors period, the people of the Central Plains have a deep understanding of the hardships, although they have not experienced that time, they have been recorded in detail and cannot be forgotten.

"Yes, it is deeply rooted in the marrow of my people in the Central Plains, and it is a history that cannot be forgotten no matter what," said a fellow student of the Academy of Letters.

Lu Qiqian didn't continue to say anything, but looked up at the altar with the void of a bear, and couldn't help but show a wry smile and helplessness. As the heir of the Lu family, Lu Qiqian knows the weight of history better than anyone else, and he also knows how heavy the Lu family is carrying.

The Lu family has been inherited for thousands of years, and the world thinks that its heritage is profound, because the Lu family continues to have strong people, and the Lu family is the richest family in the Central Plains, but only the people who are the Lu family deeply understand that the Lu family's heritage is not the strong, not money and grain, but history.

The history of the Lu family does not lie in itself, but in the history of the Central Plains mastered by the patriarch, the legendary Spring and Autumn Tower.

"Zhao, Three Emperors, Five Emperors, Nine Sages...."

Lin Shi's voice sounded, spreading outward from the sacrificial holy land, resounding in everyone's hearts, and also in the real world.

At the same time, King Chu Hui, who was cultivating in the palace rest hall, clasped his hands after listening to Lin Shi's announcement, looked angry and then coughed suddenly.
