Chapter 17, The Ceremony of Worshipping the Heavens, the Crown Update
The altar of the six dragons, the empty alleys of the people of the Great King City, the Luo family stood in the front row as the important ministers of the Yunshan Kingdom.
Luo Tian watched helplessly as the national teacher led a group of subordinates to cast spells on the altar, and all kinds of spiritual techniques circulated in the air with colorful light.
"Brother, isn't it very lively outside?" Luo Yanran, who couldn't see the sun, asked quietly.
Luo Tian leaned over and whispered: "It's not interesting, fireworks are better than this." β
Luo Yanran was amused by Luo Tian and giggled, although Luo Tian seemed to be disdainful of anyone or anything since he was a child, he was very doting on his sister, I still remember that when I was a child, Luo Tian would always bring some outside gadgets back to Luo Yanran, and tell her about the brilliant world outside, so that this sister who can only hide in the dark every day can see the unreal light.
The ritual of worshipping the heavens has been carried out for most of the time, and after that, according to the custom, the national teacher will invite the saint to thank the heavens in person.
However, the emperor's health has deteriorated recently, and it is still a question of whether he can persist in appearing.
"Little God. Just when Luo Tian was looking forward to ending the ceremony of worshipping the heavens early, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside him.
Luo Tian turned his head to see that there was a man wearing a hood and couldn't see his face clearly.
"Who?" asked Luo Tian.
This person lifted the front of the hood and revealed a corner of his true face, which was actually the sixth prince.
"Why are you here?" Luo Tian was taken aback, it stands to reason that the six princes should stand at the front, side by side with the princes.
"My father is seriously ill, and the third brother will preside over the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens today, the key is that the Eastern Yuguo delegation will also participate in the ceremony today, and there is one person in the mission, named Xiang Qi, this person is a genius of the younger generation of the Yuguo, and his strength can be ranked in the top ten of the younger generation of the Yuguo, and he is about the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and he will challenge the masters of my country's peers, and it should have been fought by Yuan Changkong, but in order to deal with you, the Yuan family is secretly operating, and the three princes will name you to fight. β
It turned out that the six princes came to report the news, and the Yuan family had not done anything to Luo Tian these days, and thought that they had forgotten this stubble, but they didn't expect to stumble on Luo Angel on such an important day.
"When they sent me, they definitely hoped that I would lose, and they were not afraid of losing the face of the country. Luo Tian sneered.
"When you lose, Yuan Changkong will naturally challenge again, and when the time comes, he will use his cultivation of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm to deal with Xiang Qi is handy, at that time, not only will he deal with you, but also grow the face of the country and his Zhenxi Hou Mansion, and most importantly, the three princes will also be popular because of this, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. β
A small competition, but there are too many terrible conspiracies behind it.
"Hehe, if you want to deal with me, it's not that easy, isn't it just a master of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm? Luo Tian hated being calculated the most, especially by the Yuan family, at this time, the anger in his heart was already burning, and his eyes looked at Yuan Changkong through the layers of people.
And Yuan Changkong seemed to sense something, turned his head, and his eyes were also aimed at Luo Tian.
Water and fire are incompatible, if the gaze can kill each other, then I am afraid that the two of them have already started at this time.
"Xiaotian, do you have a chance of winning?" the Sixth Prince asked with concern.
"No, that's a master of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm. Luo Tian smiled.
"Then you are still so relaxed? Well, I'll come forward and say you're unwell in a while, and you can find a chance to go first. "The six princes want to stop this catastrophe for Luo Tian.
Unexpectedly, Luo Tian waved his hand and said: "I have already escaped once three years ago, and after three years, I will not run again, I have learned one thing in the corpse sea ghost, in the face of a strong enemy, no matter how you escape, you will be caught up, and only a brave battle can have the possibility of survival." β
"You ......" The six princes were about to speak, when a few people suddenly walked over from the crowd behind them, these people were all cultivating around the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, although they were dressed ordinary, but Luo Tian knew at a glance that these were the elites in the Imperial City Forbidden Army.
"Your Highness Six, please come back with us. β
The sixth prince, Ji Yuan, was taken back before he finished speaking, leaving Luo Tian looking at the altar with a complicated glint in his eyes.
The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens soon came to an end, and sure enough, due to the old emperor's unwellness, the three princes came to the stage to worship the heavens on his behalf.
"In the past year, the country has been in good weather, the people live and work in peace and contentment, we have been in Yunshan for more than 300 years, this is all thanks to the blessing of God, today, slaughtering cattle and sheep here, thank God for worship!"
The voice of the three princes spread to the entire Dawang City along with the spell of the national teacher, and at the same time, in front of every street and every house in the Dawang City, the people knelt on the ground.
Under the altar of the six dragons, from the prince to the servants and guards, they all knelt on the ground, and in the entire ceremony of worshipping the sky, only two people did not kneel.
One is the three princes who stand on the altar, as if they have begun to enjoy the worship of all the people, with a proud smile on their faces, and the other is Luo Tian.
"Brother, why are you squatting?" Luo Yanran in the sedan chair saw Luo Tian pretending to kneel and worship, but in fact squatted down.
Luo Tian smiled at her and said: "My knees, if you don't kneel to the sky and the ground, you don't worship anyone in this life except my father and mother." β
The hundred-year-old bell on the altar of the six dragons rang nine times in a row, representing the infinite number of ninety-nine.
After everyone got up, a group of people dressed in strange costumes walked up to the altar of the Six Dragons, these were the envoys of the Eastern Yu Kingdom.
Dongfang Yu Country, whose real name is Tieyu Country, this country's national strength, the size is similar to that of Yunshan Country, and because of the partial handover of the land border, there have been many small-scale wars in the early years, Iron Feather Country advocates force, and most of the court are military attachΓ©s.
Twenty years ago, Xiang Long, the then major general of Tieyu Kingdom, led an elite army to raid the border, breaking five levels in a row, only one pass away from Dawang City, and it was the current general Luo Kun who repelled this elite army at that time, and at that time Luo Kun was just a squadron leader of the border defense.
With Luo Kun's fame, it was difficult for Tieyu Kingdom to bargain, so it was convenient to negotiate peace with Yunshan State ten years ago.
However, although there was no major war, there was a lot of strength between the two countries, especially the younger generation, Xiang Qi was the son of Xiang Long, the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and now ranked eighth among the younger generation of the Iron Feather Country, born with divine power, it is said that he could defeat Xiang Long's elite soldiers at the age of ten.
The Iron Feather Kingdom and the others went to the Six Dragons Altar, and the third prince said with a smile: "Today, the Eastern Feather Kingdom delegation is visiting, and I welcome you on behalf of my father." β
The two sides politely politely spoke, and at this time, the eyes of the three princes changed slightly, and he said: "The gods are good at martial arts, and the annual ceremony of sacrificing the heavens has to be celebrated by martial arts. β
Before the third prince finished speaking, a two-meter-tall, mountain-like man took a step out, and shouted like a bell: "My name is Xiang Qi, the son of Xiang Long, the general of the Yu Kingdom, I don't know that you are a small country in Yunshan, but anyone dares to fight with me?"
The disrespectful remarks immediately aroused the disgust of everyone in Yunshan Country.
"Who dares to fight?" Xiang Qi shouted again.
The third prince smiled coldly, his eyes fell on Luo Tian below, and said: "This prince heard that General Luo and General Xiang Long had fought each other, and they didn't give in to each other, now that Xiang Qi is calling for battle, should the Luo family fight?"
Before the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Luo Tian.
"Isn't it a shame for our country to let this waste go to war?"
"This waste will definitely not dare to go on stage, I think he must be scared to death. β
"Look at him like that, can he catch Xiang Qi's punch?"
Rumors struck, Luo Tian didn't like to participate in the ceremony, because he didn't want to face these philistine villains, no matter what gorgeous clothes they were wearing, no matter what luxurious houses they lived in, no matter how much wealth they had, villains would always be villains.
"Brother, don't go. β
"God, don't be impulsive. β
Luo Mu and Little Sister dissuaded Luo Tian almost at the same time.
"You are Luo Kun's son, haha, I heard that you are a well-known waste, can you dare to fight on stage?" Xiang Qi stretched out his hand and shouted arrogantly at Luo Tian.
Luo Tian in the crowd smiled, he came back to wash away the name of waste, and walked forward slowly, facing the strong wind, facing all the skeptical and disdainful gazes.
"Don't be ashamed, rubbish. β
"Trash, don't go down quickly, don't lose the face of our Yunshan Country. β
"Don't you know you're trash?
Walking all the way, scolding all the way, Luo Tian still raised his head, as if he couldn't hear these terrible sounds.
Finally walking in front of the altar of the Six Dragons, Xiang Qi said arrogantly, "Do you dare to fight?"
The third prince looked at Luo Tian coldly, Yuan Changkong's eyes showed a cruel gaze, and in the crowd of the Leng family in the rear, Leng Ruxin looked at the thin figure of the young man in the headwind, and his heart slowly tightened.
The boy raised his head and suddenly laughed, the more he laughed, the more crazy he became, the more crazy he became!
"Why don't you dare, if you want to fight, I will fight, I am a tiger, why not be afraid of all beasts!"
