Chapter 303: Sacrifice
Chapter 303: Sacrifice
After talking to Qin Mubai, Wang Mang turned around and left directly to go to the car, Qin Mubai didn't go over immediately, but stood in place and couldn't figure it out, Wang Mang also took the jade seal of the country, but this guy was a usurper, although Wang Mang did have a lot of people who supported him at that time.
But then it still failed, anyway, this also proves that this heirloom jade seal does not seem to be as divine as the legend, but think about it, this is just a dead thing, how can it have such a legendary effect. It's not a fantasy story, it can really absorb the luck of the dragon vein.
Although Qin Mubai hasn't seen it yet, he doesn't know what kind of jade this heirloom jade seal is, but he is not in a hurry, there is time tonight.
After sorting out his thoughts, Qin Mubai raised his legs and walked outside, everyone else was already sitting in the car, and Qin Mubai was the last to get into the car. After boarding the car, Qin Mubai put his backpack on the seat in the first row, and the driver had already started the car.
There is no need for Qin Mubai to speak, the destination has already been told to him, but what Qin Mubai didn't expect was that he had just put the package on the next position, and the 18 people who had already sat on it from the second row stood up in unison, and then directly bowed to Qin Mubai with both hands, "I've seen Mr. Qin." ”
This uniform movement and voice startled Qin Mubai, "What are you guys doing, scare me." Qin Mubai asked a little speechlessly.
"It's nothing, it's just thanks to Qin Mubai for letting the national treasure of Huaxia inherit the throne. Zhao Gaole said hehehe.
As soon as he heard this, Qin Mubai subconsciously looked at the heirloom jade seal in the schoolbag next to him, "Are you talking about it?" Qin Mubai asked a little strangely.
"Yes. Everyone nodded.
Seeing this, Qin Mubai was immediately a little speechless, damn it, Wang Mang was mysterious, Qin Mubai thought that he and he knew about it, but everyone knew? Then what are you doing for me secretly? Wouldn't it be over for me to give it to me directly?
Shaking his head a little helplessly, Qin Mubai said with a smile: "Okay, it's nothing, but don't worry about this thing, I will definitely find a suitable opportunity to display it in the museum for future generations to admire." ”
"It should. Everyone nodded, and then they sat down.
The behavior of these people made Qin Mubai a little confused, it stands to reason that this heirloom jade seal is what it looks like, you do this, it makes me feel very bottomless, I always feel as if I have taken something amazing, isn't this just a piece of jade?
I couldn't figure it out, Qin Mubai didn't ask, so I didn't care, the car had officially started on the road, and everyone had returned to the state they had just started, but with the lunch meal, the atmosphere between the two sides eased a lot, and if they had any questions, they simply asked Qin Mubai, and Qin Mubai was answering their questions.
However, what surprised Qin Mubai was that when the car drove to the Yellow River Bridge, these people all asked Qin Mubai to stop the car, and they wanted to pay tribute.
This Qin Mubai didn't care, let the car drive off the road, went back to the road next to the Yellow River, walked along the river road to a place where there were not many people, stopped the car, and everyone got out of the car. Then these people didn't know where they got it, and one of them actually had a stick of incense in his hand.
Qin Mubai wanted to say, could it be that you also have a mall where you can buy things? Everyone has a stick of incense in their hands, not to mention, fortunately, they just had a meal at noon, and then they put on a case of wine, and there were still three bottles of liquor left, so they simply took out these three bottles of liquor.
Then he took a bottle cap and used it as a wine cup, and everyone stood on the edge of the Yellow River.
"Mr. Qin, please lead us along. Zhao Gao said.
Everyone else has no opinions, and Qin Mubai is also a little speechless, but Qin Mubai, a modern person, may not be able to understand the feelings of the ancient people towards the Yellow River, such as the later dynasties are fine, but the previous dynasties have deep feelings for the Yellow River.
The Yellow River is known as the mother river of the Chinese nation, in ancient times the Chinese culture almost all originated around the Yellow River, in ancient times the Yellow River basin on both sides are fertile soil, plus the mountainous areas here are much less than the Yangtze River Basin, especially in ancient times, the areas that flow through are plains, hills, so suitable for planting crops and so on, the birthplace of civilization here is also normal.
Even now, Henan, Shandong, where the Yellow River flows, is one of the main grain-producing areas.
Qin Mubai did not refuse, and there were also sacrificial activities handed down on the edge of the Yellow River on this side of Inner Mongolia, but now these are becoming less and less. After all, people nowadays are less and less dependent on the sky for food, so these things are not so important.
But what do you say about this thing, if one day the Yellow River really stops flowing and runs out of water, will people still think that it is so dispensable? If there is a day, people will always pay some price.
However, these are not what Qin Mubai can consider, he took a stick of incense from Zhao Gao's hand, this stick of incense should belong to that type of high incense according to modern people, about forty or fifty centimeters in length, and the thickness of the little finger.
It stands to reason that the incense should not be three incense sticks?
But since they all took a stick of incense, there must be a reason for this, and Qin Mubai didn't bother with it. It's just that Zhao Gao and the others don't know where to get a bronze tripod, it's not big, about thirty centimeters square, four feet, and when Tong Guan and Ao Bai in the back carried it over, Qin Mubai saw this thing.
And when they brought it over, there was already a raging charcoal fire burning inside, put this in front of them, everyone put a stick of incense in their hands and lit it, Qin Mubai naturally lit it too.
This incense belongs to the kind of yellow-green, and when lit, accompanied by a faint green smoke, it is a unique earthy fragrance of plants and trees, which is a bit strange.
"Hey, Mr. Zhao, you said that you were going to sacrifice the Yellow River for a while, did you want to say something, I won't do it. Qin Mubai said in a low voice.
"Mr. Qin, don't worry, no matter what you sacrifice, your heart is sincere, you don't need to say anything, as long as your heart arrives. Zhao Gao said with a smile.
Qin Mubai nodded, thought about it, too, anyone can do superficial kung fu, but this thing, as long as you are sincere, no matter what you are paying tribute to.
Lighting the incense in his hand, Qin Mubai stood in front of everyone according to Zhao Gao's reminder, he was also a little speechless, shouldn't this position be where those emperors stood?
But after thinking about it, these people, it is estimated that whoever stands in front of them will not be convinced, and they have no opinion when they stand in front, and they have no opinion if they have no opinion.
Standing at the front, Zhao Gao and others in the back were immediately divided into two columns, when everyone stood up, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to become condensed immediately, and the whole atmosphere instantly became solemn, Qin Mubai seemed to be able to feel that the people behind him seemed to have become solemn at this moment, everyone's expressions were very solemn, even if Qin Mubai didn't look back, but he just knew.
The Yellow River in front of him is still flowing unchanged, but at this moment, it seems that the entire Yellow River has become heavy, and an indescribable atmosphere is condensing in the sky above the Yellow River.
Qin Mubai didn't know how long it was, maybe a second or two, or dozens of seconds, then he raised his hands with a serious face and bowed respectfully, almost at the same time, the 18 people behind Qin Mubai also bowed in the same way. Then bow again, three bows.
It wasn't until the completion of the three bows that Qin Mubai came back to his senses in a trance, just at that moment Qin Mubai felt that he really didn't think about anything, as if he was just subconsciously hoping that this mother river could feed and bless the entire Chinese nation.
I don't know when the charcoal fire in the bronze tripod in front of him turned into ashes of the incense burner, Qin Mubai stepped forward and inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner.
Zhao Gao and others also stepped forward in two people, and inserted the incense in their hands into this bronze tripod one by one.
After everyone was done, Zhao Gao immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Qin, the sacrifice has been completed, and we can move on." ”
"This is right here?" Qin Mubai asked, pointing to the bronze tripod.
"That's it. Zhao Gao nodded.
Qin Mubai doesn't care, but although it doesn't seem to be crowded here, someone must be passing by, and it is estimated that this thing will soon be picked up by others, but since they said that it was put here, Qin Mubai will also be placed here.
Everyone got back into the car, and the vehicle quickly began to turn around and return the same way.
A few minutes after the vehicle left, the curling green smoke rising from the more than a dozen incense sticks seemed to gradually begin to condense into a meandering Yellow River pattern, and then, the entire green smoke dissipated instantly, and with the dissipation of the green smoke, the bronze tripod quickly disappeared.
Qin Mubai naturally couldn't see this scene, after sacrificing to the Yellow River, these people seemed to have returned to the way they had been, and if they had any doubts, they directly began to ask.
There is a five-star hotel in Xiangshawan, but it is not open in winter, and in summer, the hotel cost here is very high, and this time period is a lot of discounts, but the reception cost of 500,000 yuan a day for these people is naturally not a problem.
Opened a standard room for everyone, and naturally lived directly in the hotel at night, this hotel is actually quite luxurious, after all, it is built in the depths of the desert, and the hotel also has a swimming pool, surrounded by a desert, there is an outdoor swimming pool outside the hotel, in the summer, swimming here is a different feeling.
However, Qin Mubai didn't have the funds to come here to enjoy it before.
