Chapter 265: Preparing for the Sword Sacrifice Ceremony
"It's the 'Sword Sacrifice Ceremony.'" Wuyan said, and then he looked at Mo Zhiyu's blank look, and explained, "The 'Sword Sacrifice Ceremony' is the ancestor worship ceremony of our mountain gate, mainly to worship Tian'a Sword and the mountain chiefs of previous dynasties, and it is generally held in March after the beginning of this year.
It's just that the Sword Sacrifice Hall is too energy-consuming, and if you want to do it, you have to do it grandly, and now the mountain gate is an eventful time, I'm afraid there is not much energy, and there are Sadumen and Hongtian Sect outside, so the Great Elders are divided into two factions. One faction is to hold a sword sacrifice ceremony no matter what, and the other faction is of course not to hold it. β
"That's right," Mo Zhiyu nodded in understanding, and then asked, "Which faction is the lawsuit?" β
Wuyan said: "He is the one who strongly advocates the holding of the 'Sword Sacrifice Hall'." β

Wusu walked all the way outside the forbidden land, but there was a ban in the forbidden land, and he couldn't get in, so he could only salute outside the forbidden land and shout: "Wusui asks to see Senior Brother Shanchang!" β
The prohibition of the forbidden land is that the outside cannot hear the sound inside, but the inside can clearly hear the outside sound, so the voice of the lawsuit floats in very clearly.
When Heyin heard this voice, he raised his eyebrows and asked Xiang Mu Yingfeng: "No lawsuit, is it the disabled little junior brother of Uncle Wusa's family?" β
Mu Yingfeng nodded, and then spoke impatiently, his voice rumbling out, speaking to Wu Yi: "There are so many of you, so many days, just this small problem, has it not been solved?" β
"Senior Brother Shan, don't be angry," Wu Yi's face was steady, as if he had become more stable after last year's events, and he said unhurriedly, "The Sword Sacrifice Ceremony is a big matter, and all the senior brothers and disciples have their own considerations, and it is difficult to make a choice for a while. However, time is of the essence, and we cannot continue to argue, so I implore Senior Brother Shan to give instructions directly.
The sword sacrifice ceremony is a major event of my mountain gate, and it has never been interrupted since the establishment of Tianjian Mountain. Although the mountain gate is now suffering from internal and external troubles, most of the disciples are loyal to the mountain gate......"
In the forbidden land, Heyin listened to the words without a lawsuit, his eyebrows jumped and jumped, and looking at Mu Yingfeng's face was becoming more and more ugly. Finally, Mu Yingfeng couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "Okay!" Don't talk about it! Do! Big deal! You go and draft the charter yourself, just show it to Wuyan'er, don't bother me again! β
Hearing this decision, the Wusui outside the forbidden land unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth a little, and said respectfully: "Yes, Wusui retired." β
Sensing the unlitigious departure outside, He Yin looked at Mu Yingfeng with an impatient face and said, "This junior brother seems to be not only disabled, but also crooked. β
"yes, it's annoying to worry about it all day long. If you want to do it, are you tired? Mu Yingfeng sighed, "Then again, why did you come back?" β
"Me?" He Yin smiled, "Of course, I heard that the Great Mountain Gate was in crisis and rushed back to help. β
"Humph!" Before Mu Yingfeng could speak, a disdainful voice came from the stone tablet, "You would be so kind?" You're no better than me! β
"Oh, dear senior sister, don't look at me like that, I'm much more innocent and kind than you." He Yin said with a smile, and reached out to pat the stele again.
"Take your hands away, don't slap the top of my head like a ball!" The voice in the stele roared again.

Mo Zhiyu rested in Tingyue Xiaozhu for a day, and when he got up the next day to tease the cat, he saw Wuyan reading in the yard, he walked over curiously, and Wuyan looked up at him and said, "Breakfast is in the kitchen." β
Mo Zhiyu said "oh", and he was about to go to the kitchen with the meow ball, but suddenly saw a few people coming from the direction of the entrance of Tingyue Xiaozhu, who were several deacon disciples of the Privy Council.
They walked over, saluted Wuyan and Mo Zhiyu, and said, "Disciple to meet the master and the second uncle. Then the leader took out a set of brocade boxes from behind him, respectfully placed them on the stone table, and said, "These are newly made clothes and mountain emblems for the second uncle." β
Wuyan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work." Then he pushed the brocade box towards the ink delusion.
Mo Zhiyu was stunned, his suit of clothes and mountain emblem had indeed been destroyed in the Eastern Continent before, but he didn't care much about it, he didn't expect Wuyan to order someone to do it so quickly. So he smiled and said, "Thank you, senior brother." β
Wuyan waved his hand, which meant "you're welcome", and then he looked back at these people and asked, "Is there anything else?" β
The disciple at the head took out a scroll, respectfully handed it to Wu Yan, and said, "Yesterday, the mountain chief has decided on the matter of the sword sacrifice ceremony, this is a new proposal from the elders' council, and this matter will be handed over to the master to handle." β
"Huh? Senior brother, didn't you go out to listen to Yue Xiaozhu during your vacation? Mo Zhi asked suspiciously.
The disciple immediately said, "Master Uncle does not need to go out to listen to Yue Xiaozhu, so it will be handled by you, Second Senior Uncle." β
"Me?" Mo Zhiyu pointed at himself, wondering in his heart, how could he drag himself in?
"Got it." Wuyan said lightly, stretched out his hand to take the scroll, waved them away, and the disciples respectfully retreated.
Wuyan opened the scroll, glanced at it lightly, and said: "The sword sacrifice ceremony is for the mountain chief to lead all the disciples to sacrifice Tian'a Sword and the ancestors of the past dynasties, you know, our master is not a director, and I will be responsible for the past few years."
This year is a special situation, which is why you are listed. But it doesn't matter, anyway, all the documents will be sent to Tingyue Xiaozhu, I will arrange everything, you just need to go to the mountain gate to mobilize people. β
Mo Zhiyu sighed: "I thought I could come back and rest for a few days, but I have to do things again so soon." He held up the meow ball and said, "What a hard work, isn't it?" Meow Ball "meowed" very sincerely, expressing his approval.

In the study room of the Privy Council's Zhongshu Elders, he sat peacefully at the table without a lawsuit, looking at the "Regulations of the Sword Sacrifice Ceremony" on the table, and a smile that could not be concealed appeared on his face. Then he loosened his palm, and between his fingers was a bronze wrench with a peculiar pattern, like a variant of a triangle, missing a side.
At this time, the bronze wrench was lit up with a red light, and he brought the bronze wrench to his mouth without a lawsuit, and said softly: "The matter has been done, act according to the plan." β

The time soon came on March 6, 2038 in the Chen calendar, and Mo Zhiyu stood outside the Fengjian Hall and commanded the disciples of Tianjian Mountain who were busy left and right.
It has been more than ten days since the sword sacrifice ceremony was organized, and tomorrow is finally the day of the official sacrifice. In fact, Tianjian Mountain does not pay attention to luxury, but according to tradition, all the disciples will bow all the way from the mountain gate to the ancestral temple along the central axis, and some things need to be arranged along the way. In addition, Tianjian Mountain is now understaffed, so it will take longer.
"Thank me, dear brother." He Yin smiled and pulled off the silver needles one by one, "You're almost going to let yourself go like a senior sister." βThe next chapter, "The Assassination of the Mountain Chief"
