What kind of place is Mingqiu Mountain, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a small hill made of yellow sand.

There is no abundant product like Kunlun, and there are opportunities everywhere; is not as famous as Wudang Mountain, which is famous in martial arts; It is not as well-known as Jingzhou Heiling Mountain because of the famous Buddhist temple.

But today, Ning Xiaochuan wants the world to remember the place of Mingqiu Mountain again.

On April 15, the third year of Dafeng Yongxi, on the Mingqiu Mountain in Xiangzhou, thousands of troops lined up, and all the generals gathered.

On this day, the sky was clear, and the breeze carried the fragrance of earth across the altar on the mountain.

Ning Xiaochuan stood quietly beside the altar, closing his eyes tightly, and a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a lotus hat saw that the hour had arrived on the sundial next to him, so he shouted at the top of his voice, "The auspicious time has arrived, and the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky has begun." ”

As soon as the sound fell, a low and solemn horn sound echoed on Mingqiu Mountain, for the Xiangzhou soldiers, the heavy and sad sound is the main theme of their military career, and the horn horn is undoubtedly the most suitable instrument for this melody.

The horn sounded, the Xiangzhou soldiers on the field looked solemn, and the Xiangzhou soldiers led by Xu Muliang, Chen Xinru, and Zheng Guangyuan took off their hats and quietly looked at the bluestone stele on the three-meter-high wooden altar in front of them.

The bluestone stele is half a meter long and wide, three meters high, and is carefully carved by Kunlun pure erosion jade.

Under the stele is a stone carving that resembles Xuanwu, named Gan Tuan, the nine sons of the dragon are different, and this Gan Tuan is the seven sons of the dragon, likes to bear the weight, often appears as a stele base, so the folk have the allusion of the Gan Tuan camel stele.

The bluestone stele is engraved with the words "Holy Heaven Eternal Prayer", why these four words are used in the worship of the heavens, there is no way to study, but there is no doubt that these four words come from the Taoist Gate.

According to Wudang, when Emperor Gaozu passed through Wudang, he had a dream at the foot of Wudang, and Gaozu in the dream saw the golden dragon bead coming straight to him, and the bead in the mouth of the golden dragon was engraved with the words "Holy Heaven Eternal Prayer".

For this reason, whether it is the royal family or the common people, as long as it is a sacrifice to the sky, the words "Holy Heaven Eternal Prayer" will be engraved on the stone tablet.

No one pays attention to whether this story is true or not, some people say that this is a means for Emperor Gaozu to balance Confucianism with Taoism, and Confucianism is used to govern the country, and Yin and Yang and Taoism are needed to continue the country.

With the sad and solemn sound of the horn, Ning Xiaochuan slowly opened his eyes, walked towards the stele with a solemn expression, looking at the bluestone stele in front of him, he seemed to see the picture of his father taking Zhao Xihe and other generals here to worship the sky thirty years ago.

"Drink! Drink! Drink! ”

Thousands of troops roared in unison, and the echo echoed through the sky.

Five grains and six animals have been placed on the offering table in front of him, and a three-legged copper incense burner is lying quietly on the offering table, and Ning Xiaochuan comes to the offering table.

Kong Zhenxuan, who was beside him, bowed down and presented a gorgeous wooden box, Ning Xiaochuan took the wooden box, put it next to the incense burner, and opened the lock in front of thousands of soldiers.

In an instant, purple qi came from the east.

The one in the wooden box was the Donghuang Bell, Ning Xiaochuan did not deceive Wang Zhuan, he did bring the Donghuang Bell to worship the sky.

After a moment of purple light, the light of the Eastern Emperor Bell gradually dimmed, and the Eastern Emperor Bell of the Northern Barbarians appeared on the table of the Great Bong, which was undoubtedly a great insult to the Northern Barbarians, but for the Great Bong, it was an inspiring feat.

After placing the Donghuang Bell, Ning Xiaochuan lit the incense and inserted it in the incense burner, which was the first step to worship the sky.

At the end of the incense, the bull-nosed Taoist priest next to him shouted, "Vaporize the heaven and earth, and the three incense worship the ghosts and gods." ”

Unlike the iron-armored soldiers behind him, Ning Xiaochuan was dressed in gorgeous white brocade, with a jade belt around his waist, and his long hair coiled behind his head, with an elegant temperament.

Nie Hongyi under the altar looked at the gentle son in front of him, and was a little stunned for a while......

"Bye."

Ning Xiaochuan shouted loudly, and the soldiers on the field knelt on one knee in unison, while he stretched his arms forward, leaned his right palm behind his left palm, palms facing inward, and gently bowed his head.

This is the second step of the sacrifice.

The Taoist priest came to Ning Xiaochuan's side with a whisk in his hand, walked around Ning Xiaochuan three times left and right, and while walking, he chanted a strange mantra that Ning Yan didn't understand, "Mingtong and Tai Chi, and ask for a moment." ”

"Three worship heaven and earth." Ning Xiaochuan shouted, he first looked at the bluestone tablet in front of him, bowed intently, and bowed his head in unison behind him.

After three bows, the Taoist priest came to the offering table, brushed the dust and lightly tapped the offerings on the table, and after some hand dancing, he came to Ning Xiaochuan, pulled his arm, and shouted, "Stroke your forehead lightly, and become an immortal at all." ”

After saying that, he pulled Ning Xiaochuan to the offering table, and his right hand was directly on the back of Ning Xiaochuan's head.

This is the third and final step.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The familiar sound of the horn sounded again, the bonfires around the altar were burning, Xu Muliang behind Ning Xiaochuan got up and looked at the soldiers behind him, and shouted with a solemn expression:

"Xiangzhou Yongli."

"Xiangzhou Yongli."

"Xiangzhou Yongli."

"Xiangzhou Yongli."

……

In the chorus of all the soldiers, Ning Xiaochuan slowly got up, looked at the monument in front of him, and smiled.

Is there really a heaven and earth immortal in this world?

It is said that martial arts is a way to three grades and nine realms, and when you reach the top-grade god spirit realm, it is the peak, but that day Pei Yu told him that there is a realm above the god spirit, and that is the immortal.

But what does it take to become an immortal? No one knows, because no one has ever become an immortal, some people say that the gods will ascend to the sky after they die, this statement is ridiculous in Pei Yu's opinion, people are dead, what else will they ascend to the sky.

Ning Xiaochuan came to the offering table, took back the Donghuang Bell, looked up at the bluestone monument, and the moment he touched the Donghuang Bell box, the Dantian in his body shook slightly.

Ning Xiaochuan, who felt the abnormal movement of the dantian, stared at the monument, and the Taoist next to him came to Ning Xiaochuan's side, bowed his head and said, "Childe, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens has ended, you can sit down and rest." ”

Ning Xiaochuan nodded, "I see." ”

After the Taoist priest retreated, Ning Xiaochuan withdrew his gaze, handed the Donghuang Bell to Kong Zhenxuan, and turned to look at the soldiers in front of him.

"Soldiers, you should all know my Ning Xiaochuan's name, but you have never seen my appearance, today, on behalf of the Xiangzhou Army, I, Ning Xiaochuan, are here to sacrifice the heavens with the Northern Barbarian National Weapon, just to let everyone know that the Xiangzhou Army also has a person named Ning Xiaochuan.

And from now on, I, Ning Xiaochuan, will be a part of the Xiangzhou Army, here, I, Ning Xiaochuan, solemnly promise to everyone, as long as I have one day in the Xiangzhou Army, I will never let the aliens outside the Guanxi step into Xiangzhou half a step, and will never let the people of Xiangzhou be bullied a little, if there is a violation, I am willing to be punished by God. ”

"Childe will be eternal." Xu Muliang shouted beside him.

The soldiers below also shouted.

Chen Xinru and Zheng Guangyuan looked at each other and smiled, after today's sacrifice, Ning Xiaochuan's name will be completely known to the world.

"Xiangzhou Army, Yongli !!"

Ning Xiaochuan raised his arms and shouted.

The whole audience shouted in unison, and for a while, the entire Mingqiu Mountain echoed with Ning Xiaochuan's name.

……

Just when Ning Xiaochuan was sacrificing to the sky, Yan Jie, the eldest disciple of the Yin and Yang family, arrived in Yindu.

Yan Jaw, who had just entered the Yin Capital, soon came to the Imperial Heavenly Prison with the identity of this big disciple of the Yin and Yang Family, just as Huang Jiuyang expected, when he heard that Yan Jaw was coming, Tang Xingshen personally came to the Imperial Heavenly Prison to greet him.

The white-haired old Sikong walked quickly to Yan Jaw, and Yan Jaw also hurriedly greeted him, "Senior Yan Jaw greets Lord Sikong." ”

At this time, Tang Xingshen's face turned pale, and his mental state looked very poor, and after seeing Yan Jaw, he directly took Yan Jaw's hand and said, "Hahaha, Senior Brother is finally willing to let the Yin Yang disciple come to the Imperial Heavenly Prison, it seems that he still has Dafeng in mind." ”

Tang Xingshen is also a disciple of Yin and Yang, and he is the junior brother of Huang Jiuyang, the head of the Yin and Yang family.

Yan Jaw said politely, "Master asked me to come to you, saying that you will tell me what to do next, dare to ask Lord Sikong, I want to ...... next"

Tang Xingshen interrupted Yan Jaw's words, "Don't be in a hurry to say this, you will know what to do next later." ”

"Juniors get it."

"By the way, how is Senior Brother doing now? Are you okay? ”

"Master is in good health, but you, you look a little ......"

Tang Xingshen smiled awkwardly, "There will be time to rest in the future, let's go, go in and say." ”

When he first came to the Imperial Heavenly Prison, Yan Jaw was shocked by the huge bronze dragon inside, and this is the place where the master grasped the dragon vein of Dafeng.

Tang Xingshen walked slowly to the dragon, looked at the dragon above his head and said, "What is in this armillary sphere is the luck of Dafeng, only we and His Majesty today know about his existence in the whole world, Dafeng can last for thousands of years, and this dragon is indispensable." ”

Yan Jaw looked at the pearl in the armillary sphere and said, "Lord Sikong, when you first arrived, you told me this, aren't you afraid of the juniors leaking secrets?" ”

Tang Xingluo shook his head and smiled, "If you dare to tell you, I'm not afraid of you leaking secrets, come with me." ”

Yan Jaw followed Tang Xing down, and in the Imperial Heavenly Prison, he saw the instruments that only existed in books in his memory, the Eight Toad Geokinetic Instrument used to detect the Earth Dragon, the Kyushu Divine Minute Ruler that measured the movement of the stars, and the Yuzhu Sundial with a height of 20 zhang in front of him, and so on.

All kinds of instruments emerge in an endless stream, plus the scholars who have surveyed and recorded next to it, the entire Imperial Heavenly Prison is like a school palace, and now, Yan Jaw understands why the Imperial Heavenly Prison can be compared with the Guozi Prison.

Soon Tang Xingshen brought Yan Jaw to a wall covered by a five-meter-high vermilion curtain, and Yan Jaw was puzzled, "This is ......"

"Let's pull away."

Tang Xingshen gave an order, the scholar next to him pulled the curtain, and a star map slowly appeared under the curtain, and the night sky on the giant star map flowed like flowing water, and the granite representing the stars on it moved with it, and the heavens, earth and stars were vast among them.

This is the first time that Yan Jaw has seen such a huge star map, and the most terrifying thing about these stars is just the territory of Dafeng, in which in the position of Yindu, the purple light is bright.

"It's ......"

Seeing this scene, Yan's jaw breathing became rapid.

Tang Xingshen seemed to look at his old friend, his eyes were gentle, and he stretched out his old hand to touch it, but the moment he touched the wall, the night sky rippled.

Tang Xingshen reluctantly withdrew his hand and said in a deep voice, "Thousand Douhuan Zhuxing Diagram." ”

Yan Jaw was shocked and looked at Tang Xingshen, as if he understood why the master had asked him to come here.

Yan Jaw helped up Tang Xingshen, "Lord Sikong, this picture is Dafeng Guoyun, you are using your life to maintain this picture!" ”

Tang Xingshen sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "It won't last long, I'm old." ”

"Lord Sikong, why are you doing this?" Yan Jaw looked at the old Sikong in front of him with red eyes.

Lao Sikong smiled indifferently and said with red eyes, "I can die, but Dafeng can't fall, the Yin and Yang family can be expelled from Zhongzhou, but Dafeng's national fortune can't be broken." ”

At this moment, Yan Jaw finally knew why he wanted to come to Yutianjian.

Tang Xingluo reluctantly looked at the star map in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Yan Jaw, the Imperial Heavenly Prison and Dafeng rely on you, this is the fate of my Yin and Yang family that cannot escape......"
