The guards in Shangshi City are indeed much stricter than before, the guards here are all cultivators, and the worst ones are also in the late stage of the Dao Spirit Realm, and they will check the identity of everyone who wants to enter Shangshi City one by one.

When these guards saw the Bai Miao tribe, they were puzzled, because they also carried a bamboo sedan chair in their ranks, this kind of sedan chair is made of two chairs tied to it, it is very simple and clear at a glance, this is convenient to check, the people sitting on it look like they are seriously ill and unconscious, the guards just don't understand what kind of ceremony they are participating in when they are all sick like this.

Ah Wei was also very helpless, because Yun Hao entered the meditation stage, they didn't dare to disturb and brought him in such a way, and they didn't know that they thought that Yun Hao was the head of the white seedlings.

After entering the Upper Stone Castle smoothly, I saw that countless torches were slowly moving towards the mountain on the mountain road leading to the top of the mountain, like a fiery snake winding up the mountain.

Ah Yu followed the team up, and Yun Jiu'er asked, "Why isn't this heavenly sacrifice ceremony held in the city?" ”

"I don't know as much as Sister Jiu'er, I only know that there is a heavenly pool on this Tianshan Mountain, maybe my clan thinks that it is a blessed land that can communicate heaven and earth, so I set the place of worship there." Ah Yu replied.

This Tianshan is shaped like an inverted sea bowl, the top of the mountain has no peak but a flat-topped mountain, just like there is a lake at the bottom of the bowl, it is watered by the rootless water of the sky for thousands of years, the lake water is as clear as a mirror, so it is called 'Tianchi'.

There will be three dry periods in Tianchi in a year, the predecessors placed four stone rhino statues in the pool, if the rhino horn on the head of the stone rhinoceros is exposed to the water, it means the beginning of the dry period, and now the stone rhinoceros has completely exposed the surface of the lake, it is an unprecedented dry period.

The Miao people who entered the top of the mountain stood in a circle around the funnel-shaped Tianchi, the light of the torches reflected on the lake like a wreath, and she looked at the four stone rhinoceros at the bottom of the Tianchi and said, "This place is really beautiful." ”

Shangguan Luo Yi said with a smile: "The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens will be carried out in a while, you may have to go to the heavenly pool, and when you get closer, you may feel more beautiful." ”

Ah Yu immediately said nervously: "Sister Shangguan, if it is really like what you said, can you accompany me." ”

Shangguan Luoyi nodded and said, "If you allow me, you can go with you." Then he looked up at the sky and continued: "It's already dark and oppressive, I'm afraid there will be a heavy rain, and I hope it won't affect the ceremony." ”

At this time, a group of people in black robes walked out of the crowd, and an old man on crutches walked out slowly on both sides of the team, this old man was skinny, his face was full of deep wrinkles, and a few strands of loose white hair hung down weakly, and his eyes were cloudy and only the whites of his eyes could not be seen.

The high priests of the past generations not only passed down their cultivation from generation to generation, but also the hereditary name of the high priest of the mandate of heaven, once selected to become the next high priest, he would abandon his current identity and could only continue to pass on the identity of the high priest.

Peerless Ji raised his head and scanned the surrounding Miao people with his cloudy eyes, and then said slowly: "Today is the great day of my Cangfeng Miao Kingdom, as the high priest, I will ask the heavens for a decree, and pray that God will choose the people of heaven for my Miao country." ”

After hearing this, the Miao people immediately knelt down, raised their hands and said, "May God protect the wind and Jiuli." ”

Absolute Heaven continued: "The heads of Jiuli have all arrived? ”

The head of the priest replied: "Report to the high priest Jiuli tribe flowers, ancients, ghosts, red, white, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and all the leaders of the tribe have arrived with their rods. ”

Jue Tianji said: "Collect." ”

Hearing the order of the high priest of the Mandate of Heaven, nine people came out of the priest procession, went to the Jiuli head people and took the scepter to the heavenly pool, but the heads of each department did not need to follow.

The water of Tianchi is now very shallow, the white rice stones on the face are clearly visible, only just overflowing the calves of the gods, nine gods hold the staff in both hands in the Tianchi in a circle, the heavens go to the gods and raise the scepter in their hands to pray to the heavens, and all the Miao people also kneel on the ground and worship to the sky.

These praying Miao people also put a kind of leaf in the air to chew, and Ah Yu is no exception, and they belong to a foreign race, so they naturally don't have to do it.

As the incantation in the mouth of the Heavenly Peerless Machine continued to be chanted, Yu Xuanji could clearly feel the surrounding qi slowly flowing, this breath was not spiritual power but more like the vitality of a human body, and this huge torrent of life was constantly pouring into the Heavenly Pool.

At this time, the nine divine servants holding the Jiuli Scepter released the scepter, and the nine scepters were suspended in the air, and the dark clouds in the sky began to stir constantly.

Yun Jiu'er looked at this scene and couldn't help but say, "Not to mention that we have already cut off the induction of heaven and man, this high priest can still control the wind and clouds with his own strength?" ”

Shangguan Luoyi paid attention to the movement in the Tianchi, so he replied: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, look at the pool of water." ”

The calm in the Tianchi was abnormal, and there was not even a little wave, Yun Jiu'er didn't know what Shangguan Luoyi asked her to see, but after looking at it for a while, she also found something strange.

The pool is as calm and smooth as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding things very clearly, but the weirdness lies in this, the dark clouds rolling in the sky can be seen with the naked eye, but the scene reflected in the pool water is still, not only the dark clouds in the sky, but even the dancing torches are not moving in the mirror!?

Yun Jiu'er said: "It's weird, isn't this sacrifice to the sky to the sky on our heads?" Rather, it's a world in the mirror image? ”

Shangguan Luo Yi said: "This Cangfeng Jiuli has always been mysterious and unpredictable, this heavenly sacrifice ceremony has lasted for thousands of years, and it will not cause any harm in the future, we just need to be cautious." ”

At this time, I saw that the peerless machine threw the scepter in his hand into the air, and it was in the center of the circle formed by the other nine scepters, and the ten scepters immediately rotated rapidly in the air, and then slammed down into the heavenly pool.

The water in the pool surrounded by the scepter immediately churned, as if it was boiling, and the high priest's scepter floated in the middle and began to rotate non-stop, until at this time, except for Ah Yu, the other leaders of the eight seedlings raised their heads nervously.

At this point, the choice of a successor will be revealed, and as soon as the tip of the high priest's staff stops and points to any of the nine scepters, the successor will be born in his clan.

So at this point, it's like guessing the word flower to buy and leave, and it is clear who the flower is going to be, how can they not stare at it carefully when it comes to such an important matter.

The scepter was still spinning rapidly, and there was no intention of stopping, and the corners of his forehead, which had almost run out of oil, were already oozing sweat, as he gradually felt that he had lost control of the ritual of worshipping the heavens.

At the beginning of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, it encountered such a thorny problem, which made the Absolute Heavenly Machine feel powerless, and at this moment, the spinning scepter stopped abruptly.
