Chapter 68: The Third Day of the First Month
Sure enough, as Yuan Yuguo expected, Sha Mingli pretended to know nothing, and in the face of the rampant domineering of these two distant relatives, he directly killed his relatives in righteousness.
According to the laws of the Snow Country, the two brothers, Hu Han and Hu Mian, were imprisoned for three years, for which the queen charged Sha Mingli with lax discipline and exempted him from half a year's imprisonment.
The underworld forces of the Imperial Doctor's Hall were defeated, and all the healers breathed a sigh of relief, so that they no longer had to be oppressed by others, and they could live their own leisurely lives from now on.
The healers who were against Yuan Yuguo also changed their opinions about him and came over to apologize, especially the people in the dormitory who regarded him as a hero and picked up his whole person.
The queen also promoted him to the deputy director of the Imperial Medical Pavilion, the biggest advantage in ancient times is that the upgrade is fast, not as good as the various procedures and assessments in the twenty-first century, and he was promoted to the deputy director overnight, Yuan Yuguo will inevitably have some mixed feelings, and in the twenty-first century, the deputy director is the position of the vice president, and many people can't ask for it.
"Yuan Doctor, you have been directly promoted from a small doctor with three reds to the deputy curator, what a step to the sky! I'm afraid that the foundation of the soles of your feet is not strong, but I will wrestle you! Sha Mingli's expressionless face was full of a sinister smile.
"It's okay, the big pig's trotters are not afraid of standing unsteadily, and I ask Curator Sha to take care of it." Yuan Yuguo raised his face and smiled brightly.
"Yuan Yuguo, I suddenly have a feeling that you can't hide from the third year of junior high school."
"Really? I don't think it's you who can't escape the third year of junior high school, right? ”
Sha Mingli's gaze suddenly turned around, and a probing light suddenly rose from the depths of his eyes, as if to say, what do you know?
Yuan Yuguo had a mysterious smile on his face, as if to say, I know everything you do.
"Tomorrow is the third year of junior high school, and we'll see you tomorrow.
In the pupil transition of Yuan Yuguo, on the third day of the new year, the day of the sacrifice to the sky has arrived!
The sound of the horn shook the sky, and the soldiers carried all kinds of sacrifice points, about hundreds of varieties, although the north wind howled, blowing up snowflakes, but still did not affect the grand scene of the sacrifice.
The queen traveled with the entire harem in full costume, accompanied by the princes and ministers, and their faces were full of sacredness.
Okuchikawa is also among them, he is the first time to participate in the snow country's festival, this way of worshipping the sky is much more luxurious than that of Oku, and he can't bear to look at it.
Ao Xiaobei next to him looked left and right with a lively look, and took the opportunity to touch the tassels on the soldiers.
"Brother, when will we be able to worship the heavens like this? This scene is huge! If our father sees it, he will be very envious. ”
"Shhhh Small children talk less. ”
The sound of the trumpet became more imposing, and all the people stood in a solemn posture, waiting for the ritual of worshipping the heavens.
Worshipping the sky, worshipping ancestors, and sacrificing shrines are the three major sacrifices of ancient emperors, and this kind of worship of nature and ancestors can be traced back to prehistoric times at the earliest. Summer, Shang and Wednesday generations have held the Zen sealing activity in Mount Tai, which is actually the activity of sacrificing heaven and earth. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, the emperor no longer went to Mount Tai to "seal Zen", but changed to "suburbs".
At the moment, the Snow Country Festival is only on the banks of the Mansha River, and like the last scene, its surface covered with a thin layer of ice is like a silver mirror, which cannot stir up any ripples. A few peculiar-looking birds glide across the ice, their plumage punctuated the drab surface of the river.
In the loud voice of the celestial celebrant of ceremonies, the ceremony of worshipping the heavens began. It is not so much a sacrifice to the sky as it is a sacrifice to the river god, since Master Ziyang confirmed the legend of the snow country river god, the original sacrifice to the sky has lost its meaning and has been changed to a sacrifice to the river god.
After a series of tedious procedures were completed, Master Ziyang was doing it at the altar like last time, and a nerve-baffling fragrance came from the incense burner, which made people can't help but feel a little swaying.
The corners of Yuan Yuguo's mouth bloomed into a chuckle, he had already done a good job of prevention in advance, he took the medicine to control the incense in his mouth in advance, Ao Qianchuan, Mo Wei, Princess Yunxing, Ha Xiaobao, Song Yuyan, Pu Cao, and the queen were all taking medicine like him.
Their expressions were all indifferent, looking at the Ziyang mage who was reciting the incantation, his voice was as gentle as last time, and the distance between each character was peaceful, but it could be connected into a line and thrown onto the surface of the river.
With the speed of the spell, the queen and Princess Yunxing and the others saw ripples on the surface of the river, stirring up a bright silver light, and the river continued to shake, turning into a stormy wave.
"This is an illusion, don't follow Master Ziyang's hypnotism." Yuan Yuguo whispered to the people around him.
Okuchikawa's forehead wrinkled, and his sanity returned, as did the queen and Princess Yunxing.
Next, the world in their eyes was completely different from that of other people, and those who did not have medicine had hallucinations in their eyes and saw the huge body of the river god, while these people who had medicine only saw the unchanged water of the Mansha River.
The queen patiently watched as Master Ziyang was directing and acting out the scene, and everyone watched with wide eyes as they watched what happened next, and the load of gold and silver jewels was carried in front of Manshahe.
Every year, a large number of gold, silver and jewels will be sunk to the bottom of the river, and the treasury will be almost empty, and many people's eyes will be saddened.
"Wait! These gold and silver jewels don't need to sink into the river, take down the Ziyang mage for me! The queen gave an order, and the soldiers surrounded the Ziyang mage.
Everyone's faces showed a look of surprise, and Sha Mingli was even more panicked, wondering why the queen would change her mind? Only Yuan Yuguo and the others understood in their hearts, and they looked indifferently at the fate of Master Ziyang.
Master Ziyang did not panic as he imagined, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the city gate, and then he stroked his beard with his hand and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to make a divination for you?" How long will it take to calculate your snow country's gas number? “
"Shameless demon road! You are a spy of the enemy! Tell me, who's behind you? ”
Master Ziyang smiled but did not answer, and turned his gaze to the distance, and sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves came from far to near, and the soles of the feet of the people who were shaking were unstable.
"Oh no, Your Majesty, the army of the Moon Kingdom has already attacked the city!" A soldier hurried over to make an announcement.
"Unexpectedly, a small country that we have neglected would dare to attack our snow country? Then we'll fight them to the death! The queen tore off her cloak with a "brush", and shook the mountains with momentum.
"Your Majesty, don't panic, our army is stronger!"
Just as Mo Wei waved his hand, thousands of troops had already appeared, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, and he believed that the devil army he had trained could win.
