Chapter 699: Sacrifice to the Heavens

It was the day of the opening of the altar.

The hundred officials entered the palace early, and then arranged by the Ministry of Rites to come outside the hall one by one.

In such a matter of worshipping the heavens, the officials of Xiao Yipin also had to participate, so that the entire square outside the main hall was full of officials, and it was crowded with people at a glance.

In the middle of that sea of people, a path was set aside.

The forbidden army in the palace stood on both sides, wearing armor and spears and swords in their hands.

Looking along the road, a large tripod stood in the center, and I saw that there were three pillars of incense candles burning in it, and the green smoke rose and went straight to the sky.

Si Ming held a wooden sword and stood in front of Na Ding.

This stop is two hours.

When the sacrifice to heaven needs to respond to the heavens, all the officials need to wait in front of this main hall, and they cannot move or speak.

There is no other way but to get through it.

After an hour, the sun fell through the clouds.

Coupled with such heat and standing for a long time, some officials were already pale, and some could not hold on.

Naturally, there are also fallen.

But after it fell, someone would immediately come to support it, and even if he fainted, he would have to wait until the end of the sacrifice before he could leave.

The breath of Si Ming, who was standing in front of the ding, was calm and waiting.

On the square, the eunuchs of internal strength reported the hour, and reported it every half an hour.

"It's time!!"

"It's time!!"

One by one, the eunuchs in the square spread the news until the sound of the hour spread throughout the square for everyone to hear.

It's still early.

This time, the time was set at noon.

That is, they still have to stand for an hour.

The sun was shining, it was getting hotter and hotter, there was no sip of water, and some officials had chapped their mouths, but they were still standing here.

"It's noon!!"

Accompanied by the eunuch's words.

The big drums on both sides were beating.

The majestic sound came, accompanied by the vibration of the drums, and in an instant woke up those who were in a state of drowsiness.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

And the former commander of the Ding Dynasty also raised his head.

He raised the peachwood sword in his hand and did it in front of Nading.

The sword picked up a few sword flowers in his hand, and saw the water and fire burning, and after a week around the Ding, the priest recited the sacrificial words.

Then introduce the talisman and burn it into the tripod together.

Take a handful of incense candles, count ninety-nine, clasp them with both hands, and light all the incense candles with the burning of the talisman.

"Phew!"

Si Ming drank in his mouth, holding the handful of incense candles and walking around Ding again, although the incense ash fell on his hand and blistered, he didn't stop, as if he didn't know.

Back to Ding, his hands shook.

The ashes floated up, and the incense candles in his hands were like sparks.

Si Ming looked at the eunuch on the side.

The eunuch nodded, then tore his throat, and a deep sound pierced the entire square.

"Goodbye !!"

The echoes are constant and awe-inspiring.

Thousands of officials on the square knelt on the ground, and the main hall of the square, which had been silent for a long time, finally had some other voices.

Si Ming held each other and worshiped the sky.

"Goodbye!!"

The sound resounded through the square again.

After the sound of squirming, it can be seen that a few people fainted under the bow, probably because they had stood for too long.

Immediately, someone went to help him up and dragged him to the end of the prayer.

After a long period of calm, the eunuch spoke again: "Three bows!" ”

With this third prayer falls.

Everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

It is said that the last time the sacrifice to the heavens was the most fatal for these officials, nine people died, and the body was out of breath as soon as it arrived.

If you can survive until three worships to the sky, you can be regarded as saving your life.

Si Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and after reciting the sacrificial words, he inserted the incense candle into the ding.

"Knock !!"

The drums sounded.

The door to the main hall was opened.

From the side door were several generals, and the other was a eunuch with his head bowed.

After scattering on both sides, I saw His Majesty in a dragon robe walking out of it.

"Your Majesty arrives !!"

As this voice came out, the hundred officials in the field knelt down again.

"Long live my emperor!!"

"Long live my emperor!!"

The momentum was huge, and this sound seemed to spread throughout the entire Shangjing City.

Yan Ruchu stepped forward slowly, glanced at it and said, "Zhong Aiqing is alive!" ”

Several officials in the front row slowly got up.

The one in the back dared to stand up slowly, but it took a long time to get up.

Yan Ruchu stepped forward slowly.

The hundred officials also turned their bodies with His Majesty's movements.

The drums beat constantly, and every step seemed to be magnificent.

On top of a large hall in that palace.

A few people were sitting on it watching.

Qing Tianyou looked at this scene and couldn't help but say: "It's really strict and powerful!" ”

It's much more interesting than I've seen in a cage.

Although this inexplicable rule is somewhat criticized, it may also be because of this that the importance of this sacrifice to heaven is revealed.

After hearing this, Mo Yu said: "It's much better than when I saw it at the beginning, when I still sacrificed living people to the sky, which was extremely cruel. ”

Qingtianyou was not surprised, but said: "The same is true in the spirit cage. ”

"The living... Worship the sky? ”

Tanuki winked and asked, "What kind?" ”

On the side, Mo Yuan stretched out his hand and knocked on him, saying, "They are talking nonsense." ”

Tanuki touched her head and wondered, "Really?" ”

Qingtianyou smiled: "Well, we are talking nonsense. ”

Jian Shenghua stood on top of the hanging ridge with his hands crossed, speaking of which, he also felt magnificent when he saw this scene, at least in the Immortal Cultivation Realm or before, they had rarely felt such a solemn and vast atmosphere.

Ruyi squatted aside, she frowned, and said, "Red tape." ”

Several people looked at each other.

Ruyi was stunned and asked, "I, I'm not wrong." ”

Qingtianyou laughed and nodded, "It's not wrong to say it's red tape." ”

It is indeed a bit cumbersome and cumbersome, and has no substantive effect.

Ruyi smacked, and then asked, "By the way, Uncle Chen is still not here?" ”

Mo Yuan looked at her and said, "Mr. Chen has something more important. ”

"What do you have to go quietly?" Wishful curiosity.

Mo Yuan smiled: "I don't think anything can stump Mr., and Miss Ruyi doesn't have to worry." ”

Ruyi blinked and said, "It's the same." ”

Mr. Chen is a god, a very powerful and powerful immortal.

"Boom!"

The drums flickered.

At this moment, Yan Ruchu had already walked in front of Na Ding.

He took the incense and candle and lit it with a talisman.

"I! Commanded by heaven! ”

A deep voice came out of his mouth.

"The duty of the Son of Heaven is greater than courtesy, courtesy is greater than points, and points are greater than fame. What is etiquette? Discipline is also; What is a score? Monarchs and ministers are also; What is a name? Gong and Hou ......"

Reciting for a long time is called the duty of the Son of Heaven, which is also one of the processes.

It is not until this paragraph is read that it is considered to be the main topic.

"Taizu is in the world, the heavens and the earth are smart, all the spirits are rising, the heavens are humane, prosperous and prosperous, however, prosperity also produces chaos, the goblins in the mountains make chaos in the world, and there is suddenly an uncertain phenomenon."

"I am the Son of Heaven, and I should be in this chaos."

"Therefore, canonize nine immortal officials, suppress my mountains and rivers, and put an end to this chaos!"
