Chapter 106: Going to Beijing
It was already noon, and Fang Haoze was sitting in the room on the second floor of the fortune boat, sitting cross-legged and observing the godhead jade plate in his body. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoEverything is fine, and there is still a little magic power in the account every day.
It has been the third day since he followed the orders of the Seven Princes to go to Beijing.
The lucky boat is the top of the ships prepared by the imperial court, with great strength, two heavy buildings, wide bottoms, and high heads and tails. Such an official ship can accommodate up to 100 people, and the shape and specifications are the most complete.
Although the ship was very capable of loading, there were not many empty rooms left on the ship at this time. In addition to the fifty servants that Li Jinyu insisted on sending, Fang Haoze also brought Mingyun and the cultivators in his family.
This is a long way to go to the mountain, and Fang Haoze is not worried that the cultivators in his family will be out of control, so he simply left the Fang Mansion with ordinary subordinates, and the rest of the property is shelved, and brought all the fifty cultivators from the family to the capital and find another way to settle them.
These fifty cultivators were all recruited from Tengyun Village and Qingfu Temple successively. Among them, there are more than ten second-order masters, and there are also twenty first-order cultivators, which is also a considerable strength in the rivers and lakes.
"Shenzi, there is Tianlin Gorge in front of you, and the water is urgent, do you want to move down from the building?"
"Oh?" Fang Haoze responded, stood up from his cross-legged state, and called Mingyun in at the same time. "There seems to be some saying about Linxia this day?"
"Tianlin Gorge is the most dangerous section of the Dingjiang River, even if the fortune boat passes here, you must be careful. Mingyun entered the room and replied respectfully.
Fang Haoze, who has read a lot of books, knows that this Dingjiang River is thousands of miles long, and it is the longest river in the Daxin world, since it is the most dangerous place in Dingjiang, it is no wonder that Mingyun suddenly came over to remind himself.
"The sky is steep, and it is very bumpy above the first floor, so please go downstairs. In addition, this day Linxia is said to be the location of the Dingjiang Water Shrine, and passing ships need to be sacrificed to prevent sinking ships from falling into the water. Mingyun continued to explain.
"And this custom? Then I'll go down. When Fang Haoze heard the legend of miracles, he was also immediately interested. Although he wants to do things in the court to accumulate divine power, his future goal is still the divine realm, so when he hears the water god, he has to check it out.
"The sacrificial things are ready, please move. Mingyun made a gesture and invited.
When they went downstairs, they saw an offering table on the bow of the ship. There were three sacrifices on it, a plate of fresh fruit, a pig's head, and a pot of blood.
"Is this actually human blood?" Fang Haoze's cultivation had reached the fourth order, and his sense of smell was sensitive, and he could smell the smell of blood from afar, and it was fishy. So he asked with a frown.
"Childe, this is indeed human blood, but it is squeezed out by a knife per person of a hundred or so people on the boat, among the sacrifices of the water god of the Dinghe River, the most important thing is human blood, and there is a certain amount, if it is less, I am afraid that the boat will be in danger. ”
Seeing that Fang Haoze's face was unhappy, Mingyun hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"This water god loves blood, and I don't know if his deity is worshipped, if so, this water god must be an evil god. After Fang Haoze heard Mingyun's explanation, he was silent, but he thought silently in his heart.
You must know that human blood contains essence and spirit, and it is also a great tonic for ghosts and gods.
If the ghosts and gods who worship blood sacrifice get the blood of more than 100 cultivators, after a little refinement, I am afraid that there will be hundreds of divine powers. Even for ordinary people, such a big basin of blood has dozens of divine powers.
Fang Haoze looked around at this time, there were still many large and small boats on Tianlin Gorge, and some small boats of only dozens of ordinary people kept pouring blood into the river water, and the people on the boat were all pale, obviously a sign of blood loss.
In this situation, Fang Haoze frowned slightly when he looked at it.
"Childe, Dinghe is the largest river in the world, and the god of Dinghe water is known as the father of the world, and it is said that he is the leader of Shinto, but this sacrificial ceremony is indispensable. Mingyun looked at Fang Haoze, who was frowning slightly, and hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"It's not easy to deal with such an evil god, so I'm not going to get involved in Shinto first, so let's sacrifice according to the customs, just take a look. ”
Thinking like this, Fang Haoze nodded, stepped forward in three or two steps, and came to the edge of the offering table.
Mingyun beside him handed over three incense, this fragrance is tangy, although the cigarette is only a thin wisp, but hovering in the air, not affected by the wind at all, it actually goes straight up, very strange.
With just one glance, Fang Haoze understood that the doorway in this incense offering was at least blended into the incense with the materials of the first order, and more importantly, the materials of this level also wrapped the divine power of the incense, and when it was burning, it was slowly released.
"This is a special incense made by the god of Dingjiang water, and the temples of Dingjiang along the way are sold, a piece of ten taels of silver. Mingyun explained intimately on the side.
"How is the procedure for sacrificing to the god of water?" asked Fang Haoze as he pinched the incense in his hand.
"The sacrificial words are very simple, the son silently recites the three sounds of the Dingjiang water god, inserts the incense into the incense burner, and then pours the things on the table into the water, even if the sacrifice is finished. Mingyun introduced.
Hearing the explanation, Fang Haoze first compressed the energy of the Divine Jade Plate, just in case. Then he said three silent words in his mouth, and suddenly there was a reaction under the surface of the water.
A hazy consciousness descended on this offering table through the river, and this consciousness that only Fang Haoze, who was also a god, could perceive, was actually very weak, like a crystal clear little fish, rolling on the offering table.
Fang Haoze pretended not to know, and inserted the incense into the incense burner, the small fish was only the size of a palm, and he sucked it on a few sticks of incense. After a few breaths, the aroma was inhaled into the abdomen, making the size of the little fish several times larger.
In the eyes of Mingyun and the others, the three sacrificial incense sticks were quickly burned out as soon as they were inserted into the incense burner.
"Childe, you can put sacrifices. Mingyun saw that the incense of the sacrifice god was burned out, and hurriedly reminded.
"You can help me get it, I'm not going to do it. Fang Haoze looked at the little fish still beating on the table, and he didn't like it in his heart, so he excused himself.
When the little fish smoked the cigarette, he had already seen that the little fish was not the object of sacrifice, but just played the role of a porter, carrying the power of the incense fire.
This should be a common practice in the world of great faith, the gods and mundane are kept isolated as much as possible, but the divine power of incense is still needed after all, so develop various means to absorb it.
Similar to a fourth-order god like Gong Wen, the divine power of incense is stored in the Tribute Courtyard, and it should be collected uniformly at certain intervals. And the means of this water god of Dingjiang are even higher, usually storing incense in the temples along the river and making it into sacrificial incense.
Then it is incinerated by the large and small ships passing through the Dingjiang River, and the timely extraction is completed. "No wonder it is called the God of the Father, this water god's ability is indeed not small, and it is likely to be the high-ranking god of this world, but I have to be careful. ”
Fang Haoze knew that this Great Faith World was a fifth-order, and the highest level of the gods must also be fifth-order, just one order higher than himself, so he really needed to be careful.
Then, Mingyun pushed the things on the table into the water, and the little fish that carried the divine power occasionally jumped onto Mingyun's hand, with a covetous look in his eyes, biting Mingyun's body from time to time.
This Mingyun is also a third-order power, and he is already a bit extraordinary, he only feels occasional pain in his arm, and the strength is slightly transferred, and it is eliminated.
If it was an ordinary mortal, if it was bitten by that small fish, it would naturally be bitten away by one or two traces of soul power by this small fish, but as soon as Mingyun used his strength, the fish would not gain anything when it was bitten, and he couldn't help but have a fierce expression.
But as all the sacrifices entered the water, the little fish had no choice but to enter the water with the sacrifices, and at the end of the day he glared fiercely at the blessed boat.
