Then, everyone waited quietly and solemnly, as if Shennong would really come here, and then began to enjoy the sacrifices offered by the Spring Glory City.

After waiting for two quarters of an hour, Cheng Tong shouted in a long voice: "The chief priest drinks blessings." ”

The chief priest was Cao Gao, the city lord of Chunyu City, and saw him go up to the high platform and come to the stone table, and after bowing to the statue of Shennong three times, he picked up the wine he had just placed in the middle from the stone table, and then knelt down and drank the wine in his hand.

Then, Cao Gao stood up, put the empty lord back into the distance, and then stepped back three times, walked three times, knelt down and bowed nine times to thank Shennong for the blessing wine.

Reposition.

"Bow three times. Cheng Tong shouted loudly.

Everyone continued to bow to the statue of Shennong three times.

At this point, the drink is finished.

"Cancel the food. Cheng Zhushu said in a long voice.

At this time, the sub-dedication officer and the final dedication official walked up to the high platform together, and after bowing three times to the statue of Shennong, they moved the sacrifice on the stone table a little down.

Reposition.

"Play "Ode to Shennong", perform four bows, and send Shennong ancestors. Cheng Tong shouted loudly.

Just like when they started to welcome Shennong, except for the five people who played music in front of the chime, everyone bowed four times to the statue of Shennong, and then flattened down.

"Wangliao. Cheng Tong shouted in a long voice.

Cao Gao walked up to the high platform, picked up the silk on the stone table, and threw the silk into the brazier on the right side of the stone table.

Watching the plain silk in the brazier slowly turn into ashes, and then slowly extinguished, Cao Gao and Cheng Zhushu slowly retreated and walked off the high platform.

At this point, the nine ceremonies of Shennong's sacrifice to welcome Shennong, laying silk, first offering, sub-offering, final offering, drinking blessing, removing food, sending Shennong, and Wangliao are all over.

When it came time to go back, the sacrificial procession was still in front, and the rest of the people followed back to the city.

After entering the east gate of the Spring Castle, the sacrificial procession returned to the square in front of the city lord's mansion. Because of the huge body of the tiger spirit fire, he still rested in the open space outside the square.

After that, there was a feast for the whole city.

Because the materials were prepared in advance, and the whole people participated, after an hour, the food and drinks in each place were ready.

The whole Spring Castle is filled with the tempting aroma of vegetables.

Naturally, the city lord of Cao also held a large banquet in the city lord's mansion and the square in front of the mansion to entertain those visitors from all over the world.

At this time, the city gate has long been closed, even the guards guarding the gate are also involved, because today is the Shennong Festival, no one dares to risk this big disapproval to invade Chunyu City, if anyone really dares to do this, then his only consequence is to wait for everyone in the entire Five Elements Continent to be wanted and killed. On the day of the Shennong Festival, this is a great disrespect to Shennong, and everyone in the world condemns it.

Fang Zixuan and the others naturally dined at the City Lord's Mansion just like last time, but this time, there were a few more big tables in the City Lord's Mansion, which were used to entertain those in the sacrificial procession.

At the beginning of the banquet, Cao raised his glass and toasted everyone present with a glass of wine, and then everyone moved their chopsticks to eat.

"Lord Cao, I listened to "Ode to Shennong", why are the emotions in this song so fluctuating?" Fang Zixuan asked puzzled.

"Hehe, "Ode to Shennong" can be said to be the unified ode to the Shennong Festival of the Five Elements Continent, the emotional ups and downs of this song, or Cheng Zhushu will explain it to you. Cao Gao laughed.

"I want to hear about it. Fang Zixuan said.

At the beginning of the music, the joy and cheerfulness are to express the joy of the ancestors of the Five Elements Continent who learned to fish, hunt and use fire under the leadership of the ancestors of Fuxi and Suiren, and their lives have improved significantly; the tune after that becomes low and sad, which is to say that although the lives of the ancestors have improved, they are still hungry many times, and they are prone to illness and death; the joy that springs up in the subsequent sorrow is to bless the birth of Shennong; the joy and joy after that is to tell about Shennong's invention of farming and the writing of " The great achievement of "Shennong's Materia Medica", because of farming, everyone no longer has to worry about not having enough to eat; with "Shennong's Materia Medica", everyone also has the hope of treatment and recovery when they are riddled with diseases; the last sad tune is to bid farewell to Shennong, because Shennong accidentally ate one of the five poisonous herbs in the world when he tasted all kinds of herbs, and finally died of pain under the tea tree. As for the solemn tune at the end, it is to express our solemn remembrance of Shennong's great contribution to the Five Elements Continent. ”

Hearing Master Cheng's explanation, Fang Zixuan and the others suddenly realized that they had thought that the sacrificial music was solemn and sad, but now it seems that they are taking it for granted.

Because millions of people ate the banquet together, the entire Spring Castle was plunged into a lively and exciting atmosphere.

Fang Zixuan and the others were affected by this atmosphere, and they also let go of their stomachs to eat and drink, of course, Yuan Zihan did not let go like Fang Zixuan and the others, and only occasionally ate snacks.

The feast of the whole city was eaten from the hour to the end of the day, and then everyone went back to rest.

Although Fang Zixuan planned to leave after the Shennong Festival, he saw that many people in the city were drunk, and even a few big people such as the city lord Cao were also drunk.

Fang Zixuan smiled and said to Yuan Zihan and the others: "It seems that we can't leave today, so let's stay here for one more day and leave tomorrow."

"Well, it's not a bad day anyway. Yuan Zihan said.

"Steward Cao, we will leave tomorrow, please tell City Lord Cao when the time comes. Fang Zixuan said.

"Okay, Master Fang, when the master wakes up, I will tell him. Steward Cao said.

Fang Zixuan nodded, and then went back to the room with Yuan Zihan and the others to cultivate. As for those drunk people in the city lord's mansion, they had their own servants and maids to help them go back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, Fang Zixuan and others walked out of Qingyun Courtyard and came to the hall, at this time, Cao Gao and Guo Fu, Xun Qi, Cheng Tong and Xiahou Fei were already waiting in the hall, and when they saw Fang Zixuan and others coming, they immediately got up to greet them.

"City Lord Cao, I've really troubled you these past few days. Fang Zixuan said.

"If the one is above, it is our honor to receive a few of them. Cao Gao laughed.

"Lord Cao, since the Shennong Festival has been watched, then we should also set off, so don't leave it at that. Fang Zixuan said.

Cao Gao knew that it was good for Fang Zixuan and the others to stay in Chunyu City for a few days, so he didn't keep it, so he said, "Then we will send Fang Shang, please." ”

Fang Zixuan and the others walked out of the City Lord's Mansion with Cao Gao, and then Tiger Linghuo followed a few people and walked towards the east gate.

On the way, those people in the Spring Castle City were still curiously pointing at the Tiger Spirit Fire and discussing a lot, but they didn't have the fear they had at the beginning.

Cao Gao and others kept sending Fang Zixuan to a long pavilion ten miles away from the east gate before stopping, and this ten-mile long pavilion was only one mile away from the statue of Shennong.
