Chapter 359: Mountain Worship Ceremony
Dongfang Hao then said: "Regarding why there are ten thousand ghosts in Yecheng, Qu Da and Bai Gui are still investigating. But now is not the time to investigate the cause, and tens of thousands of unarmed people in Yecheng are facing great danger. After careful consideration, the palace decided to send 4,000 mages to support, obey the orders of Qu Da and Bai Gui, and force the ten thousand ghosts to retreat and subdue! ”
As soon as these words came out, the mages were in an uproar again.
"Four thousand? It's just ten thousand ghosts, do you need so many mages? ”
"Tomorrow is the mountain worship ceremony, send us now, then we can't participate in the mountain worship ceremony?"
"The mountain worship ceremony is about to be held, and the ghosts chose to approach Yecheng at this time, needless to say, there is a conspiracy in this."
Dongfang Hao said: "How many ghosts will appear in Yecheng tomorrow, no one can give a specific number. What level these ghosts are, no one knows. In order to ensure the safety of the people, the main palace must send a combat force with a chance of victory. To be fair, the lottery decides! ”
"Lottery?" Everyone was shocked, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would actually ask for a lottery?
Dongfang Hao said: "Tomorrow's mountain worship ceremony will be held as usual. With a grand ceremony on one side and a battlefield on the other, Hongu knew that everyone would want to stay. But on the side of the city, someone must go. Qu Anyi, please scatter the sign to everyone. ”
Lin Lu and Wu Yue brought up three baskets of notes and placed them in front of Qu Anyi's eyes.
Qu Anyi used his mana to lift three baskets of paper strips into the air, then arranged all the strips evenly and delivered them to each person randomly.
It only took a few tens of seconds before and after.
Dongfang Hao said: "The people with circles on the note should immediately go back to pack up their salutes, and after an hour, gather at the gate of Wuji Town and set off for Yecheng." If someone doesn't want to go and wants to escape, this palace will not stop them, but once they are found out by this palace, this person will be permanently removed from the Yin and Yang Prison, and all their families will be confiscated from the position of mage! ”
Dongfang Hao stood up and waved his big hand, with a magnificent momentum. His voice was sonorous and powerful, and it could not be refuted.
Qian Ling remembered the scene when he was so nervous at the prince's canonization ceremony that his hands and feet trembled, and he added two points of admiration to Dongfang Hao.
became the prince halfway, Dongfang Hao was born a prince, and there is still a gap between the two of them.
If it weren't for the fact that Dongfang Hao had been baptized in more than three hundred missions before he met her, I am afraid that he would not be willing to put down his dignity as a prince and come to play with her like now.
Wu Yue and Lin Lu immediately commanded people to rush into the crowd with paper and pen to register, and many of the mages protested, but no one rushed to the stage, just took the guards who asked them to register to be angry.
Seeing this, Dongfang Hao asked Qu Anyi to pull out the Guiyi sword, he held the Guiyi sword and inserted it directly on the platform. "Whoever has any objections, come up, take this sword, and kill this palace!"
The light of the Guiyi Sword and Dongfang Hao's momentum merged into one, emitting out, with full deterrent power.
This kind of deterrent power is like an invisible force that can directly hurt people, and it shocked all the mages into speechlessness.
The snake master frowned: "This prince, can he have such momentum?" ”
This is no longer the momentum that a pure person can release, such a momentum must be released by a person with a certain strength.
"Let's go." Dongfang Hao didn't talk much nonsense, since no one objected, he didn't have to stay here to watch the drama they registered.
Qian Ling left with peace of mind and handed over this place to Qu Anyi, Wu Yue, Lin Lu, Yin Wenyuan, and Yin Wenchu.
The remaining 1,000 mages, 700 heavenly female guards, and 5,000 side guards, Dongfang Hao thought about it for a night, and finally planned to let them keep their prayers for peace and participate in the ceremony.
Now he doesn't have enough evidence to prove that Frightening Feather Zhu will definitely attack, and if he says it, not only will he not be able to refute people's trust, but he will also startle the snake.
The mountain worship ceremony was held at noon, Dongfang Hao put on the crown dress of the prince, Qianling put on the crown dress of the crown concubine, after everyone gathered, the two sat in the sedan chair, under the watchful eyes of everyone, all the way to the foot of Wuji Mountain.
A huge altar was erected at the foot of Wuji Mountain, and on top of the ninety-nine steps, there were tributes.
On both sides of the steps, Wu Yue and Lin Lu led the side guards to isolate the people, and there were a thousand mages flying in the sky, watching the grand scene below from top to bottom.
The red carpet was spread all the way from the imperial house to the altar, and at a distance of 500 meters from the altar, everyone got off the sedan chair and walked forward.
The person dancing the witch dance led the way, Dongfang Hao and Qianling were in the middle, followed by some officials.
For every nine steps, everyone has to bow once, for a total of eleven times.
At each bow, the dancers of the witch dance have to recite some incomprehensible words and display some incomprehensible spells.
The demonic qi in Wuji Mountain quickly tilted towards the foot of Wuji Mountain, staying a few thousand meters away from the foot of Wuji Mountain.
Although the mages expected that the monsters in the mountain would not dare to rush down directly, they did not dare to relax too much, after all, the monsters were not so smart, and they were more impulsive than humans.
From the first level to the ninety-nine steps, the crowd dispersed and distributed on both sides of the altar, Dongfang Hao stood in the center of the altar and bowed to the mountain.
All the people went down with them.
Some people were whispering about why the water god hadn't come yet, and Qianling listened with bated breath.
She was now nervously tense, guarding against a surprise attack that could occur at any time.
Looking at these ninety-nine steps, although she could also remember that she stepped up the same red ninety-nine steps last winter and went to the meridian hall of the Human Palace to thank her, but she was soon pulled back to her senses by the mountain worship ceremony in front of her.
Dongfang Hao bowed four times in front of the tribute, and then lifted the red weft cloth on the offering table in front of him.
Beneath the weft cloth are the golden statues of the gods.
Dongfang Hao picked up three sticks of incense, incense the gods, and then threw some jade pendants into the incense burner.
The smell of the jade pendant's incineration rose from the incense burner and slowly spread, soon enveloping everything around it.
Dongfang Hao arched his hand in front of the golden statues of the gods and said: "Li Che, the prince of Wei, is here to meet the gods, thank the gods for protecting the country, and every year, the people of the country will worship the gods with the power of the whole country." Today's worship of the mountain, one is to worship the gods, the second is to make a good alliance with the demons in the mountains, and the third is to announce the world, the existing demon alliance leader Yu Zhu gathered some demon clans, want to disturb the world, please the gods protect the people, please the demons do not be bewitched. If we can survive this catastrophe safely, we will increase our efforts to worship the gods, make a truce with the demons, and be in harmony! ”
Dongfang Hao said goodbye, and everyone said goodbye.
The music of silk and bamboo sounded, Wu Wu continued to dance, and after Dongfang Hao got up, he cut his fingers with a knife and dripped blood into the prepared bowl.
The people in the audience lined up in a long line, and each person offered a stick of incense, leaving a drop of blood.
Dongfang Hao and Qianling were escorted to sit in the rest area prepared on the left side of the altar, waiting for everyone to finish worshipping, and then he asked people to carry half of the tribute into the mountain, and the other half of the tribute was carried into the temple next to it along with the golden statue.
When Dongfang Hao sat down, Bai Zhi came over and knelt in front of Dongfang Hao to bandage the wound on Dongfang Hao's hand.
Qu Anyi stood beside Dongfang Hao with his sword in his hand, and the snake Fu and other demons were evenly distributed everywhere.
Qianling's left hand held his right hand, and the more he pinched it, the tighter it became.
After Bai Zhi finished bandaging and left, Qian Ling suddenly trembled.
The demonic energy in Wuji Mountain is spreading violently down the mountain!
