"When the time comes, play "Ode to Shennong". ”

When the time came, Master Cheng shouted in a long voice.

Suddenly, a joyful and cheerful sound came out of the band's phalanx.

As the music sounded, the entire sacrificial procession set off along the main road towards the east city gate, and even the tiger spirit fire followed at the back of the procession.

Listening to this joyful and cheerful music, Fang Zixuan felt a little strange in his heart, because with his understanding, this ode should be calm and solemn, how could it be joyful and light?

However, Fang Zixuan didn't ask any questions to the people around him, because at this time, all the people's faces were solemn, and the only sound in the entire Spring Glory City was the music of "Ode to Shennong".

Gradually, Fang Zixuan felt that the music began to become low, and the joy and cheerfulness he had just now was gone.

After this low music lasted for a while, it became a little sad.

After a while, a voice of joy suddenly rose from the mournful music.

This mournful music with joy lasted for a long time.

After that, the joy gradually expands, and the sadness gradually subsides.

Eventually, the grief dissipated completely, and the music regained its joy.

However, after this joyful and joyful music lasted for a while, it instantly became extremely sad, and the feeling was like grieving the loss of someone.

This extremely sad music lasted for a while, and the music gradually subsided, and finally, the music came to an abrupt end.

After a while, the music sounded again, and this music was solemn with a hint of joy.

This music continued until everyone walked out of the East City Gate and came to the high platform of the statue of Shennong.

At this time, all the people in the city had already followed the sacrificial procession out of the Spring Worm City, and then stood solemnly in front of the statue of Shennong.

If someone looks down from above, they can see that the statue of Shennong is full of people, imagine the sight of millions of people standing on the plain, how shocking it is. In particular, these millions of people were silent, looking at the statue of Shennong solemnly.

At this time, Cheng Tong walked to the left of the huge stone table on the high platform, and then shouted in a long voice: "Play music, welcome Shennong." ”

Although it is still a ode to Shennong, this time the music is not played by the people of the previous band phalanx, but by the five young men and women on the right side of the high platform, three of them are men and two women, and even the instruments are replaced by rows of chimes.

Similarly, the five young men and women were dressed in blue, red, white, black, and yellow.

Bite.

The man in Tsing Yi rang the first chime, and the crisp and melodious music suddenly sounded.

"Ode to Shennong" officially started.

"Bow four times. Cheng Tong shouted.

So, in addition to the five people who played music in front of the chime, millions of people, including Cheng Tong, bowed to the statue of Shennong four times together, and then flattened.

Fang Zixuan and the others were no exception, they all knelt down and kowtowed.

Facing one of the ancestors of the entire Five Elements Continent, Fang Zixuan and the others did not dare to make an exception even if they were martial artists.

"Incense. Cheng Tong continued to shout in a long voice.

As Cheng Tong's voice fell, Cao Gao walked up to the high platform with a note of incense, lit it, bowed three times to the statue of Shennong, and then inserted it on the incense burner on the stone table.

After walking backwards from the high platform, Cao Gao returned to his original position.

Being able to walk down the nine-step stone stairs smoothly, it seems that Cao Gao should have practiced.

Half an hour later, Cheng Tong shouted: "Make the first offering." ”

Cao Gao took the silk from the hand of the silk bearer, slowly walked up to the high platform, then knelt down in front of the stone table, and held the silk high above his head.

After fifty breaths, Cao Gao stood up, then placed the silk on a stone slab about two feet high behind the stone table, and then took three steps back.

Then, Cao Gao took a step forward with his left foot, knelt down on both knees, bent over, with the back of his hand up, kowtowed three times, and got up; took a step forward with his right foot, knelt down on both knees, bent over, and raised the back of his hand and kowtowed three times, and got up; took a step forward with his left foot, knelt down on both knees, bent over, and raised the back of his hand, kowtowed three times, and got up.

After that, he slowly walked backwards down the high platform.

And after performing three kneeling and nine bowing salutes, he was reset.

The fourth one who walked up to the high platform was the old man in black who held the mushroom, and he placed the jade plate on the north side of the stone table, that is, from the right side of the stone table as seen in front of him. And after performing three kneeling and nine bowing salutes, he was reset.

The last to walk up to the high platform was the old man in yellow who held the rice and placed the jade plate in the middle of the stone table. And after performing three kneeling and nine bowing salutes, he was reset.

After the grains were placed in their respective directions, Cheng Tongyi on the high platform changed his previous long tone to a high-pitched voice full of charm.

In the primeval world, Zhaoli was at the beginning, but he knew fishing and hunting, but he was not familiar with farming, the epidemic was raging, and the people were not able to make a living. My ancestor Shennong, dreaming of sleeping at night, chopping wood for the plow, kneading the wood for the plow, cultivating the axe, for the plow, the benefit of the plow, in order to teach the world.

It is also made of five harps, which is the sound of elegance, cultivating virtue and accumulating benevolence, smoothing customs, civilizing and edifying, and returning from the wilderness. After that, he tasted all the herbs and found out the salty and bitter taste, and used it as medicine to get rid of the suffering of disasters. Unfortunately, he died of poison and was buried under the tea tree. My ancestors have braved hardships and dangers, benefited the people, and died for themselves. Great benevolence and virtue, cast my soul of the five elements, and pass on my descendants of the five elements. The example of the eternal is the concentric of the five continents. Around the city of Youwu Spring, the five grains are abundant, and the people of Youwu are not invaded by all diseases. Yu Chen Bodian, with the expression of filial piety. Woohoo woe!

These five continents refer to the West Gold Continent, the North Water Continent, the East Wood Continent, the South Fire Continent and the Middle Earth Continent.
