People have their own beliefs since ancient times, this is hope and good wishes, when their own ability is not enough to meet their own wishes, they need a miracle, what can realize the boundless wish? Immortals are the best sustenance.

Immortals can always do what they can't do, people can't live forever, immortals can do it, people can't fly in the air, immortals can do it, no one is perfect, no one is perfect, no one is gold, but is there a god in this world?

I didn't see it with my own eyes, and no one dared to give an answer for sure, although the Qi Dynasty was now the strongest dynasty to rule the Kyushu Continent, it also had its own beliefs, believing that the gods in the sky could give their country a long-lasting destiny, and even the wish of immortality.

Liu Cheng, the emperor of the Qi Dynasty, believes in the gods very much, hoping that one day he can enjoy the imperial power forever, although no one has seen it, but the Kyushu continent has existed for too long, and it is no longer possible to measure this length with numbers, and the folk legends about the gods are simply countless, so since Liu Cheng sat on the throne, the two most important things every year: one is the New Year's celebration, and the other is the sacrifice to the heavens.

At this time of the year, officials from all over the dynasty come to the main city of the dynasty, Wushuang City, to participate in this important sacrifice together!

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid the statue of this immortal hall hasn't been repaired for a year! I'm afraid it's too late now, I'll see how you explain to the emperor! “

"Lord Li, don't tell the emperor, the statue has been repaired, who knows that the heavy rain last month made the roof above moldy, I will replace the statue part of it now, to ensure that the emperor can't find it!"

"Lord Wang, this ...... It's not easy to do! If the emperor knows that I deliberately deceive, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the involvement! ”

"Please, Lord Li, the emperor attaches so much importance to the ceremony, if something goes wrong, not only will the lower officials lose their heads, but they will even affect the family!"

"Well, it's not impossible to want me to help you, it depends on how you do it!"

After all, someone took the handle, and Lord Wang could only let others fiddle with it if he was reluctant at this time.

"You can do what you say, you can be the master of the affairs of the Immortal Palace in the future, I promise not to disobey you, how about it?"

At this time, Master Li smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, a word is a decision, and I will be in charge of the Immortal Hall in the future!" ”

Of course, it is impossible for officials at all levels of the dynasty to get along in harmony, and every big and small thing, there is always a fight, a struggle for power, a fight for profit, a fight for women, some people cry and some laugh, and some people have soared from then on, changing the fate of their lives, and they are rich and rich. There are also people who have since collapsed, destitute, and do not know where they are.

Every year's ritual requires a large amount of gold and silver, the decoration of the immortal hall and the luxurious arrangement on the day of the ceremony, as well as the clothing, food, housing and transportation of officials at all levels, the pure gold immortal statue needs to cost thousands of catties of gold to build, and the benefits are unimaginable. At this time of year, there are officials who fight for their heads.

At this time, less than two hours before the sacrificial ceremony, a man in Tsing Yi stood on top of the Taichao Hall of the main hall of the palace, not knowing what he was thinking. There was also a man curled up beside him, not daring to say anything.

After a long time, the man in Tsing Yi looked up at the hour bucket above the main hall, and said slowly: "There are still two hours to go to the sacrificial ceremony, what to do, you understand!" ”

"Don't worry, the villain understands!"

"If something goes wrong in this matter, let alone you, I'm afraid your nine clans won't be able to save it!"

When Wu Liangfu heard this, he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to move.

The man in Tsing Yi seemed to know Wu Liangfu's fear, and said with a smile: "Don't be too afraid, as long as you handle this matter well, the future glory and wealth of your Wu family can be passed on from generation to generation!" “

The atmosphere eased a little, Wu Liangfu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and walked with the man in green clothes to the Immortal Hall in the deepest part of the palace.

In the hall of immortals, hundreds of officials gathered, and the annual sacrificial ceremony was presided over by the emperor himself. The emperor stood behind the statue of the Xuanwu Immortal and closed his eyes and prayed, the hundred officials knelt quietly behind him, and there were seventeen princes standing on both sides of the hundred officials.

The peculiar thing is that there are seven people behind the hundred officials and among the emperor, and the clothes on the seven of them are all with gold edges, not only did they not kneel, but they also stood upright like the emperor. The dignity of these seven people can be imagined, and all the officials did not dare to look up, but these seven people quietly watched the emperor pray without saying a word.

It takes an hour for the emperor to pray, and after the prayer is completed, it is the worship of the gods, and every year some rare toys will be found from all over the world to be enshrined in the temple of the gods, so that the dynasty will last forever.

The quicksand stone is the tribute of the Northern Regions to worship the Immortal Palace, and there are gifts from other countries because they are afraid of the Qi Dynasty, and the treasures collected by hundreds of officials from all over the world can enter the eyes of the emperor, and those who enter the Immortal Hall are rare items in the world.

The gifts should be presented one by one, all the items have been screened before, and the emperor decides that the items that can finally enter the temple of immortals, if the gift is too rare, the emperor will also give a reward, so at this time of year, the officials are desperately searching for the treasures that the emperor can see.

The glazed grass is a treasure given by the king of Beiping, this thing was inadvertently obtained when the king of Beiping conquered the war, if this thing is drunk with dew, it can reshape the bones of people, so that the broken bones heal again, and become harder.

Originally, this thing was intended to be used for the emperor's healing, more than 30 years ago at the beginning of the establishment of the Qi Dynasty, the emperor fought for many years, and there were countless injuries on his body, but the emperor's martial arts were too poor to enter the realm of the grandmaster, so he could not heal naturally, and now his body is getting worse and worse, so the king of Beiping wanted to dedicate this thing to the emperor for healing.

But the emperor refused, saying that such a precious medicinal material was only suitable for worshipping the heavens, in order to seek the peace of the dynasty, and his body was not only a bone problem, so the king of Beiping dedicated this thing to the immortal temple at the time of sacrifice.

The major courtiers have offered their own gifts, followed by the emperor's return gift, the royal family also treasures a lot of treasures, although not all of them are very rare and rare, but it is a good gift of the monarch, this kind of return gift is also related to the annual performance of the officials.

The emperor returned to the king of Beiping is a golden dragon, the legend is that it fell from the sky that year, this golden dragon is all gold, and lifelike, each scale seems to be real, the emperor knows that the king of Beiping worships the dragon very much and gave this thing to the king of Beiping.

All the courtiers were surprised, because the emperor loved this golden dragon very much, and the treatment of the king of Beiping was obviously higher than that of others, some admired, some were jealous, and some were even afraid.

After all the salutes were completed, the emperor said: "After the ministers have finished their salutes, the next is the big feast, and all the Aiqing can taste my flying feather feast."

Flying feathers are birds flying in the sky, and this flying feather feast is made of nine kinds of birds with the most delicious meat after being cooked through nine secret processes and adding various spices, which are extremely delicious, whether it is the recipe or nine different kinds of birds, it is not easy for outsiders to get, ordinary people can see one or two at most, even if it is good, let alone nine kinds of gathering.

This is the emperor's exclusive food, but this year's sacrificial ceremony is to let the courtiers feel the royal delicacy.

During the banquet, singing and dancing are leveled, and every year the Phantom Pavilion in the palace will choreograph several new dances, just to perform at the time of the sacrifice ceremony, so that the sacrifice is not so cold and boring, and the sacrifice is more solemn and elegant.

The dancers of the Phantom Pavilion pay great attention to etiquette, and they must remain virgins every day in the register, and if they don't know self-love, they will be immediately executed if they are discovered. If someone is forced, then it is the one who dies who is forced, and the dancer can be pardoned.

The dancing girls of the Phantom Source Pavilion are all beautiful women with outstanding appearance, even the children of major court officials, in order to better get close to the emperor or the prince, they do not hesitate to send them inside, through training, so that the body is more feminine.

All registered women can apply for withdrawal on their own, and after quitting, they can regain their freedom, and they are not strictly forbidden to stay in it for the rest of their lives. Many poor families are vying to send their beautiful daughters in. Because the treatment of the Phantom Source Pavilion is very good, one hundred taels of silver per year, the performance is good, and there are rewards from the big officials, and no one will come to harass them, the emperor attaches great importance to sacrifices, and no official dares to beat the idea of the women registered in the Phantom Source Pavilion.

One hundred taels of silver can feed a family of three for ten years, which is a huge fortune in the eyes of many poor people, so many people will desperately let their daughters enter the Phantom Source Pavilion.

The treatment is good, the competition is big, so the women inside are very outstanding, more than a dozen or twenty beauties dance together, what a enjoyment, every year in addition to the sacrificial ceremony, the emperor will also reward the courtiers for meritorious service, there are songs and dances that can be watched in the Phantom Source Pavilion, and they can also choose the type and form of song and dance.

The courtiers were eating the flying feather banquet, while watching the new song and dance "Bi Haiqing" arranged by the Phantom Yuan Pavilion this year, each dancer was wearing a light and elegant Confucian costume with a blue and green color, the skirt was over the feet, the sleeves were over the hands, a wave and a dance, every movement was as if it was writing, and the smell of books came to the face.

"Lord Wu's new song "Bi Haiqing" this year is simply a god, this, this, it's just unstoppable!"

"Master Li, pay attention to your demeanor, don't make mistakes!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare you hit the idea of the Emperor's Phantom Source Pavilion, it's just that this year's singing and dancing are so wonderful that it makes me difficult to control myself for a while!"

"Of course, it is said that for this year's sacrificial ceremony, Li Meier personally went to Shangguan Kite to arrange it, can it not be outstanding, and Li Meier can be the minister of the Phantom Source Pavilion, most likely because the emperor has taken a fancy to Li Meier and Shangguan Kite are sisters."

"Shangguan Kite, is that the beautiful dancing girl who is rumored to be the number one in the world?"

"That's right, it's her."
