Text: Chapter 10: The Ancestor Worship Ceremony

Shenzhou Imperial Court.

It has been established for 2,000 years and has gone through 72 emperors.

More than 2,000 years ago, the founding monarch of the Shenzhou Imperial Court established the Imperial Court, and at that time, the Shenzhou Imperial Court was just an ordinary small country dotted around the reckless land, with a territory of only a few thousand miles.

It is as small as a drop in the ocean in the boundless Middle-earth continent, but since the establishment of the imperial court, perhaps it is the end of the mandate of heaven, the emperors of the Shenzhou Imperial Court have been conscientious and conscientious, and in the two thousand years of the imperial court, there have been several eloquent monarchs.

The fourth generation of monarchs, Emperor Tianwu, is talented, is the first emperor-level powerhouse in the imperial court, after the Tianwu Emperor was promoted to the emperor level, the whale swallowed and encroached on the surrounding eighteen neighboring countries, laying the foundation for the prosperity of the imperial court in the future.

The tenth generation of monarchs, Tianyang Emperor, to the Tianyang Emperor period, eunuchs and relatives interfered in politics, and the imperial power declined, but the Tianyang Emperor was silent, lying on the salary and tasting courage, and the middle-aged period was a blockbuster, eradicating the eunuchs and relatives who were in turmoil in one fell swoop, and then reforming the rule of officials to implement a new policy, establishing a centralized system, and greatly increasing the rule of imperial power.

The nineteenth monarch Tianming the Great.

The twenty-seventh monarch of the Heavenly Swing the Great.

The forty-third monarch of the Mandate of Heaven.

Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·

The entire history of the Shenzhou Imperial Court can evolve from a small secular country to a super imperial court that dominates the territory of the Middle Earth continent for hundreds of millions of miles, and when it comes to the generation of the Tianzun Emperor, the birth of the Tianzun Emperor has pushed the Shenzhou Imperial Court to an unprecedented peak.

Before Emperor Tianzun ascended the throne, the national strength of the imperial court has been crowned with the land of Shenzhou, however, at that time, there were still three major empires The strength should not be underestimated, the alliance of the three kingdoms jointly confronted the imperial court of Shenzhou, the imperial court of Shenzhou, the Longwu Dynasty, the Western Chu, and the four heroes of Northern Zhao competed for hegemony, after decades of war, the majestic Tianzun Emperor successively destroyed the three dynasties of Western Chu and Northern Zhao Longwu, and completed the feat of unifying the land of Shenzhou, and the imperial court of Shenzhou became the third supreme dynasty to unify the three thousand states of Shenzhou in 10,000 years.

As a dynasty that has been inherited for 2,000 years, the imperial ancestor worship ceremony is naturally indispensable, and the fourth generation of Tianwu Emperor has set a rule to hold a grand ancestor worship ceremony every ten years, and this custom has continued until now, and this year is the year of the ten-year round of ancestor worship ceremony.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the day of the ancestor worship ceremony.

As soon as the moon entered, the entire imperial court began to prepare for the ancestor worship ceremony, the lanterns were colorful, the princes from all walks of life, the family, and sent messengers to worship, even if it was a high-minded and detached immortal sect and demon sect, to the heavenly authority of the emperor of heaven, he had to send elders or outstanding disciples to congratulate.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, a heavy snow fell, and the people of the imperial capital regarded this as a good omen of prosperity.

In the small courtyard in the north corner of the imperial court, there was palm-thick snow on the bluestone slab paved in the courtyard, and the eunuchs were cleaning the snow in the courtyard.

Under the plane tree, a stone table, four stone benches, Gu Chushen was draped in a snow-white fox fur, sitting on a stone bench, on the table there was a stove warm pot of wine, there were four exquisite side dishes.

The sky is vast,

The earth is terrified,

Heaven and earth are like me, and I cut yin and yang with a thought.

Reading Shang Tang's poems, the light snow was one after another, and Gu Chu was drinking the wine.

"Your Highness, you are so Yaxing, and you still have the kung fu to have fun, aren't you worried about Your Majesty's summons. ”

Mei Xiang quietly appeared behind Gu Chu Shen, pursed her lips and smiled charmingly, Gu Chu Shen had already seen it a long time ago, and drank good wine.

To be able to drink this mellow and delicious wine, if he didn't dare to think a few months ago, it was because he was bullied everywhere, how could he think that a few months later, the wine and food beckoned.

Gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, Gu Chushen sighed a lot: "I have already refined the Dragon Ball, and the day of the sacrifice is getting closer and closer, I am afraid that my father will summon me soon." ”

After refining the Dragon Ball, the Dragon Ball of the Dragon of the Evil Dragon who had just entered the Emperor's Realm, in just a few months, Gu Chu Shen was promoted from the early stage of the Dao King to the level of the Dao King.

It's just a dragon ball, and with the support of the Brahman family and the squandering of countless resources, the three princes are afraid that even a pig can be forcibly promoted to the emperor level.

Gu Chu smiled bitterly, and laughed at himself helplessly: "My family knows my own affairs. Without the Dragon Ball, it is difficult to improve in a short period of time with my qualifications, let alone ten days and a half months, even if I am in retreat for two or three years, it is impossible to break through the realm again, and this self-knowledge is still there. ”

During the retreat, he completely refined the Dragon Ball, and when he reached the Dao King Dacheng, but as Gu Chu Shen said, without the assistance of strange treasures such as the Dragon Ball, it would be difficult for him to break through.

His own activated dragon bloodline is just a king-level bloodline, it is not impossible to break through to a higher realm beyond the bloodline limit, but it is by no means easy, the lecturer in the school has mentioned that there is no one in a hundred who can break through the bloodline shackles, what is needed is great perseverance and great opportunity, and the process is difficult, but those who can break through the bloodline shackles often have an unlimited future, and the path of cultivation in the future is easier than that of ordinary people, and it is said that breaking through to the next realm is a matter of course.

Mei Xiang was quite surprised, she also saw this, she has always been deeply hidden, but since she saw Gu Chu Shen, she has a judgment, indeed, just like Gu Chu Shen himself said, his qualifications are not high, in ordinary people is just average, but put in a group of princes and princesses is the bottom of the character, and the qualification is a natural thing, some people are born sacred, just like the eleventh prince and the seventeenth prince with the highest qualifications among the princes, the holy blood is in the body, the vision of heaven at birth, is the dragon genius among the people, no matter what kind of exercises are learned, you will be able to understand it at one point, and the broken mirror is like drinking water。

It is effortless to practice, and there is no need for resource assistance at all, but Gu Chu Shen is different, it is not fast to cultivate, there is not much time left to sacrifice to the sky, and it is a waste of time to cultivate again, if there is no opportunity, it is impossible to break through, the authorities are fascinated bystanders, but she didn't expect Gu Chu Shen in the bureau to be so sober, regardless of qualifications, if you talk about the understanding of the mind, the young man in front of her is the best choice, Mei Xiang not only has such a thought in her heart, but unfortunately she has no qualifications, no matter how high the understanding is, it is useless.

At this time, Gu Chushen's blunt words made her not know what to say for a while, Mei Xiang's face was embarrassed, and when she saw a book on the stone table next to Gu Chu Shen, Mei Xiang's eyes lit up, and she pretended to say to him, "Your Highness is interested in insect paths." ”

Gu Chu Shen smiled when he heard this, picked up an ancient book with a yellowed three-finger thick book on the stone table, opened one of the pages and read it, and the book on the cover was written with five big characters.

In the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce auctioned the jar of insect eggs, he has been researching and trying to hatch the eggs, but it backfired, meditated for a few days, tried several common methods, and did not successfully hatch the eggs, so he went to the Imperial Court Library and borrowed a collection of strange insects and strange pigs, which almost included all kinds of strange insects and strange pigs in the world, and Gu Chu Shen wanted to find clues from it.

However, this is the kind of thing he naturally won't tell Mei Xiang, Gu Chu read it carefully, looked at the 3,400 kinds of strange insects and strange pigs recorded on the strange insects and strange pigs record, and put on a lazy look and said: "It's just idle and boring." ”

Mei Xiang smiled lightly, and didn't think about it, just wanted to say something, her voice froze, and she looked towards the door of the small courtyard, Gu Chushen also felt something, and put down the strange insects and strange pigs in her hand.

At this time, the imperial capital suddenly had a different movement.

Gu Chu sank up and looked up at the depths of the Forbidden Palace.

On this day, the horn of the entire imperial court sounded, and the sacrificial ceremony began.

Worship the Temple of Heaven.

Almost all the people with heads and faces in the Shenzhou Imperial Court are here, in addition, the seventy-two immortal sects of the Immortal Dao and the thirty-six demon sects of the Demon Dao have all sent envoys to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony of the imperial court.

At the forefront, the eighteen-zhang high, ninety-nine layers of Taiyin white jade made of the Beiyin Deep Sea specialty, a three-legged bronze giant tripod is placed in the center of the roof.

Under the rooftop, on the left side, a person in a white robe hunting, wearing an amethyst high crown, heroic posture, is the God of War King who faced the Beihai Dragon Emperor that day, and the younger brother of the Tianzun Emperor.

The white-clothed God of War King stood first on the left, and behind him were a group of generals in sharp armor.

On the right side of the opposition are a group of civil servants of the imperial court, and all the six major princes are present and stand in front of the right hand to lead the civil ministers and hundreds of officials.

Further back is the area where Gu Chushen and other idle princes and grandsons are located, Gu Chushen found that because there were too many emperors and grandsons, he himself actually stood in a relatively high position, there were dozens of princes in front of him, and hundreds of emperors and grandsons stood behind, and some emperors and grandsons were older than Gu Chushen.

Everyone held their breath and condensed, and at this moment, an old eunuch with an old dragon bell under the rooftop of the ancestor worship was holding a floating and sinking hand, a shout, the voice was loud and deafening, and it was endless for a long time, Gu Chu Shen said in his heart, this eunuch with a wrinkled face and an old dragon bell is an unfathomable master.

'Respectfully Your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven. ’

As the old eunuch's voice fell,

A bright purple glow appeared in the sky.

The bright purple light in the sky dissipated, and the majestic figure of an ancient supreme ruler slowly fell to the altar of worship to the ancestors and looked down on all beings.

A man dressed in a black Nine Dragons robe and wearing a purple gold dragon crown who looked only in his thirties.

The man in front of him, the ruler of the great Shenzhou Imperial Court, the Tianzun Emperor, the most powerful person in Shenzhou, the years have not been able to leave a trace on him, not so much Gu Shachen's father, but more like Gu Shachen's brother.

The two are three or four similar, but the Tianzun Emperor is majestic, slightly resolute, arrogant, imposing, and adds a bit of majesty, while Gu Shachen is more ordinary and approachable.

"The minister (son) greets Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Tianzun came, and everyone present knelt on the ground to pay respects.

"Get up. Emperor Tianzun's voice was majestic and said in a flat tone.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

All those present stood up.

The old eunuch of the Shenzhou Imperial Court signaled, and the old eunuch swept the dust, and shouted in a sharp voice: "The ancestor worship ceremony begins." ”

Suddenly, the ceremonies and music rang out, and a cumbersome and magnificent ancestor worship ceremony began, but all this had nothing to do with Gu Shachen, he just stood at the ancestor worship ceremony for two hours as a prince.
