Soon, Qin Chen and his party came to the foot of Phoenix Mountain.

Here, there is a magnificent palace complex located, which is royal style.

Phoenix Mountain is the hunting ground of the royal family of Chu State, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach here, even those wealthy nobles can only come here during the annual winter hunting.

Qin Chen and the others came to a vast square, and there was a huge energy shield above the square, isolating the wind and snow, so the square was calm, and they couldn't even feel the slightest chill.

At the north edge of the square, there is an extremely long staircase, which extends upwards, and the top leads to a magnificent hall, on which hangs a huge golden plaque with four large golden characters:

Only Chu is talented!

This is the place of sacrifice of the Chu State, the ancestors are sacrificed, and the Phoenix Mountain, the place where the Chu people originated.

There are many seats in the square, and the wine banquet has already been prepared, and the wealthy nobles who come to participate in the winter hunt are also gathered here.

Seeing Qin Chen looking around, the king of Zhenbei immediately advised: "Find a place to sit down, the sacrificial activities are about to start, the Chu people sacrifice is extremely solemn, you stinky boy don't make trouble here later." ”

"Obey orders......" Qin Chen replied with a wry smile.

Flame Spirit Ji's eyes fluttered, snickering.

Immediately, Qin Chen had to sit obediently beside King Zhenbei.

With the passage of time, Qin Chen also saw a lot of familiar faces in the square.

Jian Ningqiu, who was responsible for guarding the southern border of Chu State, came over, this female general of Chu State, still so heroic, with green silk tied up, plain face to the sky, soft and strong, wearing tight clothes inside and a robe outside, she has a heroic spirit that is not inferior to a man.

Behind Jian Ningqiu, there was also a girl in a red robe, who had been practicing at the border for so long, and she also had a heroic aura on her body, although it was a pair of autumn eyes, it was a bit of determination, naturally Lin Xueyun.

"Your Royal Highness!"

Jian Ningqiu came here with Lin Xueyun to say hello.

King Zhenbei invited the second daughter to sit down here.

Qin Chen nodded at Lin Xueyun, who was also bowing his head, but he lowered his eyes slightly, and he didn't dare to look at Qin Chen.

Jian Ningqiu and Lin Xueyun sat down on the side.

King Zhenbei looked at Lin Xueyun and asked, "Yun'er, how are you doing in the south?"

Lin Xueyun said: "Thank you Uncle Qin for your concern, Yun'er is doing well, and life at the border is also good." ”

King Zhenbei said: "It is worthy of being Brother Lin's daughter, alas, it's just your father'......"

Speaking of which, the king of Zhenbei didn't say any more, don't mention the sad thing, people die like lights going out, the king of Zhenbei changed the topic, and then said: "Yun'er, when you are fine, you can also come to Kyoto often, the door of our Zhenbei Wangfu is open for you at any time, not to mention that there is this stinky boy in Kyoto, if someone bullies you, just tell this stinky boy, let him help you out of anger, anyway, this stinky boy usually likes to cause trouble, and he is not afraid of offending a few more!"

Qin Chen: "......"

Qin Chen smiled bitterly, this is really my father......

Lin Xueyun glanced at Qin Chen, smiled too, and she nodded, "Okay." ”

While Qin Chen and his party were talking and laughing, the seats on the square were all full, and the people of the royal family of Chu were also present, and on the seats at the top of the steps, the figures of the king of Chu and a group of princes and princesses appeared.

Everyone in the square also stood up and saluted, and the sacrifice was about to begin.

On the royal seat, the third prince looked at Qin Chen below, his eyes were a little resentful, but he had palpitations, and the battle of Zhuxuan also left a shadow in his heart, if it weren't for the appearance of Dean Nangong, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to participate in today's winter hunt, no, the six princes, Jiang Shikun and others were still lying at home to recuperate.

Qin Chen didn't care about the resentment of the third prince, his gaze swept slightly to the two young men beside the third prince, naturally the eldest prince and the second prince.

The eldest prince has a relatively tall figure, sharp eyebrows, giving people a very sharp feeling, when Qin Chen's gaze swept over, the eldest prince was keenly aware of it, and his eyes shot towards Qin Chen like a cold knife, and a kind of overhead of the superior was revealed.

The second prince was gentle and elegant, with a kind face, and when he noticed Qin Chen's gaze, he nodded slightly, but he didn't show any hostility.

Qin Chen glanced at it slightly and then withdrew his gaze, he only hoped that the two of them would not trouble him.

Qin Chen's eyes looked at the seat of the royal princess again, Chu Tianjiao and Chu Jiaojiao's two daughters also looked at him, Chu Tianjiao smiled and nodded, and the naughty Chu Jiaojiao made a grimace at Qin Chen, but it quickly returned to normal, and at the end, this girl also gave Qin Chen a thumbs up, naturally she heard about the battle of Zhuxuan.

Immediately after that, the pre-winter ritual begins.

Worship the sky!

Sacrifice ground!

Ancestor worship!

The state of Chu inherited the ancient sacrificial rituals, and the sacrifices were held by the sorcerers in the state of Chu.

Sorcerer, this is a very ancient profession in the state of Chu.

According to legend, the sorcerers who were at the height of the Chu clan had a very terrible ability, they were able to divinate fate and predict good fortune, this kind of profession played a pivotal role in the Chu tribe at that time, and was second only to the existence of the tribal leader.

Of course, that was the wizard of the past, and the wizard of the Chu State today does not have that kind of terrifying means.

Today's sorcerers are more just the hosts of the sacrificial ceremonies, under the eight thousand years, many of the Chu people's inheritances have disappeared, and now what is left is only the skin, and the inheritance is only some forms, there is nothing substantial, the glorious Chu civilization created by the ancestors has been buried in the endless river.

The ritual was held in front of the main hall with the words "Only Chu Youcai" written on it, where there was a table on which the tributes for the sacrifice were prepared, and a group of shamans, both men and women, dressed in strange costumes, sang and danced in front of the sacrificial table, and their mouths were not just strange words.

The square was silent, and it was a solemn ritual.

"I don't know what kind of demeanor the wizards in the Chu clan would be back then, they should all be powerful people........."

Qin Chen's eyes flickered, the status of wizards in the Chu clan is extremely high, many things can be decided in a word, and the number of wizards is very small, they must be big shots, and now these wizards of the Chu Kingdom are really wizards, but they are just empty appearances, but there is no such terrible means of predicting good luck and divination.

"The mysterious Yun Mengze, the legend of the goddess, the sorcerer, the glorious Chu civilization that has passed...... What lies beneath this land......"

Qin Chen muttered in his mouth, eight thousand years of clouds and smoke dispersed, and the past passed away with the wind, leaving only a few clues, leaving future generations to sigh in vain............
