Chapter 11 Typhoon Waves

The water is sparkling, the dragonflies point to the water, the big day on the edge of the sky has just climbed out of the mountain, the spring altar of the Qi Nian Palace has been full of hundreds of officials wearing uniform dresses, hundreds of officials are standing in a square on both sides of the main road of the square, each team has three columns.

The main road is paved with a two-foot-wide vermilion weave that stretches from the entrance of the square to the inner wall at the front of the Spring Altar.

The spring altar is semicircular as a whole, and the whole extends outward more than a zhang, and there are six pillars made of stones under the suspended platform.

On the table is a stone-carved offering table, on which is covered with a long strip of vermilion silk, the silk is not wide, the table top is not covered, and the two ends of the silk hang down in front and back of the offering table. On the silk is a golden copper incense burner, the incense burner is close to the outer edge of the table, and on the silk inside the incense burner are five jade pendants of different shapes and sizes, the largest of which is the size of an adult's palm.

On both sides of the silk are different melons and fruits, the difference is that there are incense candles to be burned on the right side, and a roll of bamboo slips on the left side.

The table is positioned about two feet from the end of the semi-circular table, which is surrounded by a wooden fence on the outer edge, but there is a vacant space in front of the table, just the size of the table.

Go down, first there are three steps, there is a bronze tripod on each side of the staircase, the flame has been ignited in the tripod, and bursts of black smoke float up. Then there is a small waiting area, on both sides of the field erected side by side vermilion flags, three of each, each flag embroidered with a large black bird, behind the flag is a fence erected in this field, here a total of six soldiers lined up at a time, soldiers in light armor, fully armed, armed with bronze swords.

In the center of the field, a square and two zhang weaving leather is laid alone, and the weaving leather is also embroidered with a large black bird, and the distance between the four sides of the weaving skin and the surrounding area is two feet.

Then go down, there are nine steps, the range of movement of this layer is only one circle, there are still heavy guards, and down is nine steps, the range of activity of this layer is slightly larger than the previous layer, the same circle, there are also heavy guards.

After the last nine steps, you reach the bottom, and on both sides of the staircase stands a stone statue of a bird with its wings outstretched, and a soldier standing in front of the stone sculpture. Next to the stone statue on the left, there is a tall chime, and a special official is waiting with a wooden mallet in his hand.

The soldiers in the square were all armed with swords, and there were also soldiers standing next to the chime. Behind the soldiers is about three zhang Huabiao, the top of the column is not specially decorated, and the column body is carved with a giant bird spreading its wings, and the giant bird is surrounded by layers of clouds.

Then there is the square where the officials are, and the officials are about three feet away from the nine-step stairs in front of them, and about two feet away from the main road on their sides.

At the end of the hundred officials and the position between the main road, there is a bronze tripod respectively, behind the bronze tripod stands neat soldiers, each soldier is two feet apart, until the entrance of the square - a tall Lingxing Gate, there are also two bronze tripods in front of the Lingxing Gate, these two bronze tripods are different from the rest of the shape, the rest of the bronze tripods are square, and these two are oval, each bronze tripod has a slightly raised square stone platform.

In the area where the team of hundreds of officials is outward, there is a two-zhang Huabiao standing before and after, the upper end of the Huabiao is squatting, the cloud board is inserted horizontally, the column body is engraved with flowing clouds, there are also birds among the flowing clouds, there are three flags standing behind the Huabiao, and there is a fence behind the flag.

All the officials were silent, looking at the altar at the height, King Xuan was already standing in the waiting ground, the eldest prince on the altar Zhou Fusu now lit the incense candle, and then held the bamboo slip, after opening the bamboo slip, I saw that the ode was engraved on it, and at this time, the bell rang and the sacrifice began.

"Haotian has a fate, and Zhu Xuan accepts it. Sixian Sheji, worthy of the sky. Stand up to me, Mofer pole. I will come to Mou, and the emperor will breed at the rate. Without this boundary, Chen is often in the summer. Liewen Pigong, Sizi is blessed. I have no borders, and my children and grandchildren will protect it. There is no seal in Erbang, and the king of Wei worships it. Nian Zirong Gong, followed by the king. There is no competition for the maintenance of people, and the Quartet will train them. If you don't show virtue, you will be punished. Therefore, the predecessors will not forget! ”

The venue is empty and silent, even if it is far away, you can hear the words of the eldest prince clearly, when the eldest prince speaks, the eunuchs in the palace carry the wooden barrel of water under the supervision of the great eunuch, walk from the path to the bottom of the altar, the shore of the lake, stabilize the body and then hit the lake water. This lake is the terminus of Weishui, one of the main tributaries of the Turbid River and the mother river that nurtured the Spring and Autumn Seven Kingdoms.

Zhu Xuanguo's custom is that if you drink the water of the lake during the sacrifice, you can get good luck.

Zhu Xuanguo's spring sacrifice is not the same as other countries, there is no need to prepare pigs, cattle and sheep as sacrifices, only need to prepare carefully carved jade, each piece of jade represents an ancestor who is extremely important to Zhu Xuanguo, and the jade is thrown into the lake, which is not only a worship to the ancestors, but also a prayer for the heavens.

Zhou Zheng held a sword in his left hand, staring at Zhou Fusu on the altar, Zhou Yujue stood in the team on the left side of the square, because of his identity, he stood at the front of the team, and it was also the leftmost position.

He doesn't know most of the people here, such as the person next to him, who is still a little related by blood, according to the generation, Zhou Yujue should call him his cousin, this person is also the prime minister of Zhu Xuanguo today - Qi Qi.

When he first came, he also greeted him, although every official present would say hello to him because of Zhou Yujue's identity, but it is rare to be as enthusiastic as Changping Jun, when Zhou Yujue looked at the face full of spring in front of him, although he secretly scolded in his heart, "Who the are you!" But there is no flaw on his face.

When it comes to the name of this prime minister, not many people may know it, but his title is like thunder, the famous "Changping Jun", the guy who will give Xuanwang Zhou Zheng a headache in the future.

Zhou Fusu rolled up the bamboo slip, held it respectfully with both hands, turned around and walked a few steps before throwing it into the bronze tripod in front of him, and the fire quickly wrapped the bamboo slip in scorched black.

Zhou Fusu walked down the altar, walked to the stairs and stood still, bowed his head and saluted, King Xuan held the sword in his left hand and raised the hem slightly in his right hand, and walked up to the stage.

When he came to the offering table, Zhou Zheng picked up a piece of jade and saluted with his hands.

At this time, bowls filled with lake water were handed to the hands of the hundred officials and the big and small princes, followed by the soldiers who guarded them.

"The Emperor and the Queen of Earth, bless me Zhu Xuan."

After speaking, the jade in Zhou Zheng's hand was thrown into the lake.

"Drink."

Seeing this, Zhou Fusu turned his head and glanced back, and after finishing speaking, he drank all the water in the bowl.

"Sss

Zhou Yujue looked at the bowl of water in his hand, and felt a little resistant in his heart, this water won't have diarrhea if he drinks it, right?

Just thinking about it, Changping Jun on the side cooed and drank it all, and Zhou Yujue was stopped by his "heroic".

After Zhou Fusu finished drinking, he looked at the back of his father in a daze, and Zhou Zheng, the king of Xuan, had already picked up the second piece of jade. Suddenly, somehow the back in front of him became two, overlapping each other, the sky was spinning, Zhou Fusu closed his eyes and shook his head, the feeling of dizziness became more and more intense, holding his uncontrollable drooping head, and he almost couldn't stand steadily.

Zhou Fusu shook his body and turned his head to look at the audience, only to see that everyone in the square fainted one after another.

Zhou Zheng picked up the third piece of jade, turned his head to look at it, didn't care, and threw the jade out of his hand.

"Huh."

Looking at the water in his hand that had not yet been drunk, and looking at the people who had fainted around him, Zhou Yujue also staggered and spilled the water in the shaking.

Several of the soldiers, who were drinking water, stood abruptly in place at this time, looked around, and when everyone fell to the ground, they threw away the Ge in their hands, drew their swords at their waists, and rushed towards the altar.

"Escort...... Escort! ”

I don't know which soldier struggled to shout, Zhou Fusu knelt on one knee, those assassins were about to come to him, Zhou Zheng had already picked up the fifth piece of jade, but he didn't throw it out like before, but lay the jade flat in the palm of his hand, this piece of jade was also the smallest piece.

Zhou Fusu took a few breaths, and the Gang Qi in his body slowly worked, I don't know what kind of poison it is, even he, the grandmaster, will be affected, and when he was frightened, three assassins had come to him, and the three of them did not slow down at all, and went straight to Xuanwang Zhou Zheng, shouting in their mouths: "Take your life!"

"Rest hurting my father!"

The assassin at the head felt that he leaned over, and was crushed to the ground by Zhou Fusu, who struggled to get up, and the other two continued to move forward after just one glance.

The person who was overwhelmed by Zhou Fusu pushed him to the side, ignored it, stood up and was just about to catch up with his companion, only to realize that the sword in his hand was missing. The man was just trying to find out, but he saw a stabbing pain in his chest, and something came out of it, the tip of the sword?

Boom! In the end, the man fell to the ground, Zhou Fusu coughed up a mouthful of blood, and held the sword with his hand, so that he didn't fall to the ground, he had done his best.

The two assassins got closer and closer to Zhou Zheng, who held the jade in his hand and remained motionless.

When the excited two assassins were about to stab their blades into Zhou Zheng's body, they only felt the world spin at the same time.

Hey!? That's our body, how come we don't have a head?

Zhang Han appeared in front of Zhou Zheng like a ghost, the sword in his hand was unsheathed, and in just a moment, he beheaded the two of them, and the blood splashed in front of him evaporated with all his might.

Zhou Zheng also threw out the jade in his hand at this time, and when the jade was about to sink into the water, it suddenly split in half, and then turned into powder.

"Thou tyrant also wants to pray to the heavens?"

The huge qi fell on everyone like a torrential rain, and the most stressful place was the altar, and the offering table was also turned into powder in an instant.

Zhang Han of the Grandmaster Realm was extremely difficult to even lift his finger at this moment, let alone turn back.

Grand Master!? And there are three more! Zhang Han couldn't say anything about wanting King Xuan to leave.

"Heh, even if you destroy the sacrificial jade, what can you do? The dog who lost his family, Lone does not trouble you, but you dare not know whether you are alive or dead, and dare to come to Lone. Well, since you're here, let's stay. ”

Zhou Zheng stood like a mountain, looking at the three great masters suspended above him, his face was full of contempt, holding the sword scabbard in his left hand and the hilt of the sword in his right hand, the heaven and earth were stagnant, and the violent pressure around him fell to the ground like porcelain, and it collapsed and fell apart.

"You go take care of Fusu and take him out of here."

Zhang Han only felt that his body was light, the gravity pressing on his body suddenly disappeared, and the words of King Xuan came from his ears, and he nodded and rushed to the eldest prince.

"Damn, I knew that Father must be the Great Grandmaster!"

Zhou Yujue lay on the fainted Changpingjun, motionless, squinting at everything that happened in the high place, I don't know whether to be surprised or happy.
