The place where the ancient emperors sacrificed to the sky is called Yuanqiu.

The Emperor of Great Xia went out on patrol today, and he rushed to Yuanqiu, routinely sacrificed to the sky, and cultivated the world.

Suddenly, except for something strange in the dark...... Xu Changshou only felt that there was something to pop out of his head, it was not a monster, it was more like it came from the depths of the demon tower in that town.

On Changping Street, a beautifully decorated luxury carriage with tassels hanging down on the roof, Xu Changshou can vaguely feel the luxury.

In the carriage, a gorgeously dressed woman lifted the curtain on the carriage slightly, peeking at the crowd outside the window, and suddenly, a pretty melon seed face came into view.

Xu Changshou turned around and saw that the woman was wearing a tassel with delicate steps, a little orchid at the corner of her eyebrows, and her red lips were as natural as a hibiscus out of water, luxurious and decent, revealing a little resoluteness in her softness.

Xu Changshou was attracted by this person's appearance...... After a while, the woman covered the curtain and poked her head back into the carriage.

A group of carriages passed through the bustling crowd, and the people bowed and bowed, and the line was long lived here, even if they knew little about the number of rituals, but with the shallow knowledge of the original owner, the young man still learned from these ancient people to kneel together.

In the luxurious carriage, Princess Ziqing, the second princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, was dressed decently, elegant and easy-going, and sat up straight, with her hands hanging between her legs. Beside her was her jade-colored sword, a princess and a swordsman.

The jolting carriage swayed her headsteps, but the solemn and calm expression did not change in the slightest.

"Princess, you see that those people outside are so enthusiastic!" Yingluo, the personal girl on the side, said to this elegant and easy-going woman.

Princess Ziqing puffed out her cheeks slightly, and said with a smile: "My Great Summer Festival is today's festival, and the people of Kyoto are naturally enthusiastic!" ”

took the hot tea in Yingluo's hand, put it in front of the red lips, took two sips, and was silent.

"After months of preparation, my father has sent someone to rebuild the mound, and the heavenly sacrifice here is related to the rise and fall of my Great Xia national fortune, and I can't be negligent." Princess Ziqing sighed, then lifted the curtain slightly, and looked at the ordinary people kneeling down along the street.

"It's a pity that the teacher has hidden the mountains and forests since returning from southern Xinjiang, if there is the blessing of the teacher's heroic spirit, my Great Xia national fortune will return to the trend of the first dynasty!" Princess Ziqing sat in the carriage, thoughtful.

On the street where people come and go, Xu Changshou followed the flow of people to a wide and flat huge venue, which is the location of the middle line of Kyoto in Great Xia, with the scorching sun on his head and his feet on the ground.

The sacred place of the Great Summer Festival - Circle Hill!

As far as the eye can see, the mound is divided into three layers, each layer has nine steps on all four sides, ninety-nine are one, and are made of huge stones, and it is said in the ancient books: "The Son of Heaven was ordered by the heavens, and then he took the place of heaven and straightened out the mortal world!" ”

The whole body of the mound is circular, each layer overlaps each other, and under the mound, there are the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, the relatives of the emperor and the country. Going out in turn, Shinong and Gongshang bowed down in order according to the level, and on the outermost level, kneeling the common people of Kyoto City.

Xu Changshou performed three kneels and nine bows among many people, until he arrived at the Kyoto mound, a wide and flat field, the young man only felt a knee pain, it should be worn out of the skin!

Soon, Emperor Qingyuan drove the mound, walked out of the luxury carriage, he was dressed in a dragon robe, wearing a crown, a vein of the posture of an emperor, then the hundred officials bowed their heads and listened to the holy proclamation.

Xu Changshou and Li Yan knelt on the outermost part of the mound, and they had an unobstructed view of the inside and outside of the mound.

Compared with Ruan Xiaopei, Daxia attaches great importance to the strictness of the heavenly sacrifice, and beggars and the like are not among the key participants in the heavenly sacrifice, and can only kneel outside the mound, on both sides of the street, or in the outermost remote place of the mound.

The laws of Great Xia stipulate that all young and middle-aged men must participate in the heavenly sacrifice, except for some women in the family who have not been out of the cabinet to run the house, as long as the family has a little official position, they are not allowed to resign.

The people of the whole city were like dragons stranded, and the whole street was full of kneeling people.

Gyeonggi guards stood on both sides of the street to put order in order.

At this time, Xu Changshou knelt on the periphery of the mound, and saw that the luxurious carriage stopped in turn, and many relatives of the emperor, dressed formally and gorgeously, followed behind Emperor Qingyuan, walked through the bright red carpet, and boarded the mound.

"Following behind Emperor Qingyuan, the woman with a dignified gait, a plump physique, a bandeau yellow robe, and a phoenix gold crown on her head should be the emperor, and the biggest feature of the emperor is that there are many gorgeous jewelry on her head."

Looking at the royal family in front of him, Xu Changshou was thoughtful.

Then I saw a delicate girl.

"I'll go! What a delicate girl! ”

"The figure is exquisite, it should be the royal sister type! It's a pity that ancient clothes can't perfectly highlight the hazy curves of women! ”

Xu Changshou was attracted by the pair of bright eyes among the many imperial relatives behind Emperor Qingyuan.

Princess Ziqing of the Great Xia Dynasty, the second princess of Emperor Qingyuan, is not only the face of the entire Kyoto City, but also the personal disciple of a certain Confucian in Yunjiang Academy!

Xu Changshou feels that it belongs to the kind that binds a rich woman, at least in this life, she doesn't have to worry about breaking a few taels of silver!

Rich woman! You don't have to worry about lack of money, and you can still hold a beautiful woman.

Then he looked at the people on the side, which is basically a powerful existence among the hundreds of officials of cultural relics.

Daxia is a three-grade scarlet robe Li Wuzhen, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. The person next to him who is as calm as water as ever should be Guo He, a bachelor of Hanlin.

In addition, there is a person Xu Changshou has never seen, Gongsun Mu, a military general next to Emperor Qingyuan, a white-robed general with a sword hanging from his waist, I heard that he was only thirty years old, and he crisscrossed the world of Kyushu, becoming one of the top two peak sword cultivators in Great Xia, and once slashed the peak demon of the Nine Mirrors in the 100,000 mountains of southern Xinjiang with a sword formation of 3,000 sword formations.

He was clad in armor and his eyes were like blades.

Xu Changshou was stunned by the man's star.

"All the big guys!"

Xu Changshou felt sorry for his insignificance.

Compared with these, Xu Changshou still habitually looked at Princess Ziqing, who was alluring to the country and the city.

I'm a virgin at the peak of the twentieth realm and don't watch the innocent young lady, I went to see a group of big men, drank too much?

……

Ziqing is just the title given to her by Emperor Qingyuan, as the second princess of Daxia, she has followed her teacher in southern Xinjiang since she was a child, and she has learned superb martial arts in addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Xu Changshou's only evaluation of this kind of person is: "! You're really special! ”

However, Lao Tzu has no culture, and he is in the world!

Oh, the palace maids and eunuchs carried all the sacrifices on the mound, chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, sheep and other meat sacrifices, in addition to a huge tripod - Jiulong Fangding, a few days ago by Zhang County's order to hang the hot potato in the heart, now it has become the number one ritual vessel on the mound.

In addition, in the middle of the top layer of the mound, there is a huge stone standing, throughout the ages, it is rumored that it was erected by a certain immortal Confucian, which can dispel calamities, suppress demons and kill demons, and overwhelm mountains and seas.

Of course, that's just a legend, and now it is used as a Tianxin stone on the mound, and it also plays a role in sacrificing heaven and earth.

Emperor Qingyuan slowly climbed the mound, and looked at the majestic Tianxin boulder in front of him reverently, the boulder was engraved with Taoist runes, and the patterns were staggered and magnificent, and he knew at a glance that this thing was extraordinary.

In front of the Tianxin Stone, there is a rectangular long table, on which wax is lit and incense is lit, and all kinds of offerings are placed. In front of the table is a round seat, Emperor Qingyuan slowly stepped forward, and then knelt on the round seat, and performed a great gift to the sky.

The people standing on the mound, seeing the Emperor of Great Xia kneeling, all followed closely behind, and they couldn't afford to kneel.

Xu Changshou and the others then bowed with the crowd, kneeling three times and bowing nine times, and bowing to the sky. Then looking at the top of the mound, the back of the first king was high, and the imperial body of Emperor Qingyuan suddenly became tall and majestic, and he was gifted with human rights, which is the deep meaning of the heavenly sacrifice.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Qingyuan slowly got up and looked at the lonely ding......

The things that are prosperous in the peak are all miscellaneous grains and grains.

Emperor Qingyuan slowly walked to the Nine Dragons Fang Ding, grabbed the grain in the Ding, and then let go of his fingers, and the golden wheat grains slowly slipped from between his fingers until they fell back into the Ding.

Emperor Qingyuan looked back, looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in front of him, and then looked at the universe, the ethereal sky, and then opened his arms, looked up at the blue sky, and sighed:

"The Emperor of Heaven and the Queen of Earth, the majestic Great Xia, beg the emperor to protect my dynasty, the whole world, all living beings, live in peace!"

As soon as the words fell.

……

Crash!

At the Tianxin Stone on the mound, there was a sound of stones exploding!

The lines on the Tianxin stone are broken, and a few cracks appear......

This explosion made Emperor Qingyuan, who had just sacrificed heaven and earth, suddenly unable to stand and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the general Jian Xiu Gongsun Mu on the side held him up.

The shock swept through the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and thousands of people kneeling under the mound, and suddenly made all the officials, relatives of the emperor, and even the ordinary people who participated in the heavenly sacrifice on the mounds look at the place of Emperor Qingyuan on the top of the mound.

For a moment, the guards blocked the mound, and the breath was extremely tense.

Li Yan, who was kneeling under the mound, twisted her fingers around the beads, trying to calm her nervous emotions.

Xu Changshou set his eyes on Emperor Qingyuan, who was wearing a dragon robe on the mound.

"What's wrong?"

He suddenly felt very strange, so he looked at the top of the mound, at the Tianxin Stone, from where the explosion came from.

Listening to the sound, it should be the sound of the Tianxin Stone exploding......

He suddenly looked at Emperor Qingyuan, the monarch of a country who was originally calm and calm on the mound, and he couldn't help but guess that His Majesty had suddenly become so flustered, and the Heavenly Sacrifice didn't seem to be going well.

At the same time, the emperor and queen wearing the golden crown of Fengluan were stunned. The Manchu civil and military forces behind him ordered to discuss, but they were all rejected by the emperor and queen angrily, and they were abruptly silent.

The young girl glanced at the girl and asked:

"Yingluo, what's going on?"

Yingluo walked up to her master and whispered, "Princess! The Heavenly Festival is suspended! ”

Hearing this, the second princess of the Great Xia Dynasty was suddenly surrounded by confusion, and the heavenly sacrifice was suspended, what was the reason? Or is something wrong with the pool?

"Is my father okay?" Princess Ziqing then cared about the safety of Emperor Qingyuan!

"Rest assured, princess! I see that General Gongsun is by His Majesty's side, and with our Daxia number one sword cultivator sitting in the formation, Your Majesty is naturally fine! ”

Tianxin Stone exploded, Emperor Qingyuan suddenly ordered the guards to block the entire mound, Xu Changshou turned to feel that this matter was extraordinary, the Great Summer Festival, the first time he encountered this situation!

……

"Whew! Is something going to happen? Xu Changshou said with a long sigh of relief.
