Every ten years, the Beixiao Kingdom will hold a grand ceremony to worship the heavens, and the place of sacrifice is in Taihua Mountain. Taihua Mountain is located in the southeast of Beixiao Kingdom, 58,000 miles away from the imperial city of Beixiao City, this mountain is as high as more than 3,000 zhang, it is the highest and largest famous mountain in Beixiao Kingdom. The current emperor of the Beixiao Kingdom is named Yan Changzong, and he is the thirteenth emperor of the Beixiao Kingdom.

In order not to delay the ceremony, it is common to set off for Taihua Mountain at the end of the day. The civil and military officials had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, and there was a golden-feathered eagle lying not far away. The Golden Feather Eagle is extremely huge, and it is one of the protector beasts of the Beixiao Kingdom.

I saw the door of the palace slowly open, Yan Changzong and the queen walked out in gorgeous clothes, and hundreds of officials knelt down to worship them.

Yan Changzong's figure is tall and powerful, and the sword is worn by the body, and the dragon qi is entwined with the qi and the air is lofty. The queen has an elegant and beautiful temperament, wears a phoenix crown on her head, and a pearl hangs on her chest.

The queen's name is Ye Qingya, and she is the eldest daughter of Ye Beige, the lord of Beimu City.

The national teacher on the side said: "The time has come, let's go." ”

I saw the Golden Feather Eagle slowly stand up and stretch its wings to the sky and let out a long roar, Yan Changzong and Ye Qingya slowly flew to the back of the Golden Feather Eagle, and the hundred officials followed one after another. The Golden Feather Eagle's feet instantly took off into the air, and flew high in the air within a few breaths.

A minister next to him said happily: "Today's weather is excellent, the moon and stars are numerous, and the Big Dipper is shining, it is really a good celestial phenomenon, God bless Beixiao Kingdom!" ”

Yan Changzong was also in a very good mood at this time, and such a beautiful night scene was indeed refreshing. He stood at the front of the hundred officials, Ye Qingya was wrapped in his robe in his arms, the robe behind him was hunting in the wind, holding the sword, and the great rivers and mountains were in full view.

Yan Changzong looked at Ye Qingya and asked with concern, "Is it cold?" Do you feel anything uncomfortable? ”

Ye Qingya said happily: "I don't think there is at all."

Yan Changzong straightened the hair on Ye Qingya's forehead, and said helplessly: "If you don't come, you want to come, what if something happens to such a big belly?"

Ye Qingya buried her head on Yan Changzong's chest and laughed softly: "Isn't there still Chun'er, don't you still worry about her medical skills, besides, everything will be fine with you by my side." ”

Yan Changzong smiled: "I really can't help you." ”

Ye Qingya smiled: "Hold me tight, don't speak." ”

Yan Changzong laughed, "You, you." ”

Yan Changzong has been working hard to stabilize Ye Qingya's body from the cold, even if the weather is cold, no matter how fast the speed is, Ye Qingya can't feel the slightest cold and shaking. If it weren't for the fact that there would be a ceremony to worship the heavens in a while, he would really want to drink a few cups at this time, especially the dream of the three thousand in the North Curtain City.

And Ye Qingya is also a monk of the Gathering Star Realm, so this shaking and cold wind are not a problem for her.

The Golden Feather Eagle was very fast, and they reached the summit of Mount Taihua at the beginning of the Yin period. On the summit of Mount Taihua there is a majestic hall, which is specially used for the emperor and the hundred officials to rest before the ceremony of worshiping the heavens, as well as everything used to prepare the ceremony. The main hall is built a hundred zhang away from the northwest side of the central altar, the central altar is in the shape of ten sides, a total of nine steps, and the top layer is also built with ten huge bronze columns, which are built in the middle of the side. At the top of the bronze pillar, there are ten golden crow-headed torches, and in the center of the altar there is a golden giant tripod, which is painted with the patterns of dragons, auspicious phoenixes and other sacred beasts.

Yan Changzong and the hundred officials were resting in the main hall at this time, and the maids had already prepared tea, Yan Changzong looked at Ye Qingya next to him and said softly: "Qingya, do you want to sleep for a while, there are still about five minutes before the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, and it is still early." ”

Since Ye Qing has been pregnant for as many as eight months, Tao Chun'er said that Ye Qingya will be in labor in less than two months, so Ye Qingya can't be too tired at this time.

Yan Changzong originally resolutely disagreed with her to participate in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, but he couldn't bear Ye Qingya's stubbornness, especially when he saw Qingya Ye Qingya put on that distressing look, he completely crushed Yan Changzong's "resolute" heart.

The pregnant woman was sleepy, Ye Qingya also looked tired, and said with half-squinted eyes: "Don't go there, I'll lie in your arms." ”

Yan Changzong nodded and smiled: "You can sleep in peace." He asked the maid to bring a fur and put it on Ye Qingya's body.

As time passed quietly, the national teacher gently came to Yan Changzong's side, and at this moment, Yan Changzong was also closing his eyes to recuperate, so he whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the hour is almost here, we have changed our bodies and gone to the altar." ”

Yan Changzong suddenly felt goosebumps, and glanced at the national teacher with dissatisfaction.

The national teacher's name is Chu Ling, a young and polite scholar, he is dressed in an ink-colored robe, his hair is tied with a long strip of white cloth, a white jade flute hangs around his waist, and several small silver bells fall at one end.

Chu Ling smiled awkwardly and pointed at Ye Qingya, who was sleeping soundly in Yan Changzong's arms.

Yan Changzong naturally understood Chu Ling's intentions, but he was still not very comfortable, because Chu Ling's body always had a strange fragrance, which made his already soft appearance more like a woman. If you are not familiar with it, at first glance you will feel that he is a woman dressed as a man.

Yan Changzong was also in trouble at this time, looking at Ye Qingya in his arms.

At this moment, Ye Qingya blinked her eyes and woke up, and when she saw the national teacher Chu Ling next to her, she asked, "Ah Ling, has the time come?" ”

Chu Ling nodded and said, "Yes, Niangniang, it's time for us to leave for the altar." ”

Ye Qingya looked at Yan Changzong suspiciously, "Why didn't you wake me up in time?" Quick, let's go now, don't delay the hour! ”

Saying that he thought that he could get up alone, he was stopped by Yan Changzong in time, gently helped her up, and said with a serious face: "I'm about to be a mother, I'm still so crazy and stupid, I don't know how to protect myself at all!" ”

Ye Qingya suddenly made a mistake like a little girl, bowed her head and apologized: "The concubine knows that she is wrong, she won't dare next time!" ”

Yan Changzong couldn't stand it the most was looking at her pitiful appearance, every time he wanted to take her mistakes seriously, he was defeated by her appearance, which can be said to be a hundred ways.

Yan Changzong raised his right hand to support his forehead, and said to the hundred officials with a helpless expression: "Go to the altar!" ”

Standing on the top of Taihua Mountain, it seems that everything is at your feet, the moon on the horizon is still hanging high, just half-hiding the delicate face, from time to time a few flowing clouds like a veil draped, like a lotus half-open and half-closed in the water.

Emperor Changzong led Empress Qingya step by step to the altar, hundreds of officials stood around the altar, only to see the national teacher Chu Ling waved his left hand, and the ten golden crows on the bronze pillar were like a round of small suns burning, and the golden tripod in the center of the altar suddenly burst into flames, illuminating the entire Taihua Mountain, and even the sky was lit up. Standing at the foot of the mountain in the distance, it is as if you have seen the sunrise.

The two of them boarded the altar together, and Yan Changzong said, "Wait for me here." ”

Ye Qingya smiled and nodded.

Then Yan Changzong walked towards the golden Dading.

Yan Changzong pulled out the sword at his waist, raised it towards the sky, and said with a solemn face: "I am the thirteenth emperor of the Beixiao Kingdom, Yan Changzong, today I came with hundreds of officials and ministers to pray to the heavens, bless my Beixiao Kingdom for all generations and generations to be safe and peaceful, bless me Beixiao Country for peace and rain, and bless my sons and people!" ”

Anyway, raise the sword and cut a bloody mouth in the left hand, and inject the blood into the tripod through the air, only to see that the flame in the tripod changed from fire red to golden red, and the divine beast painted on the tripod seems to be alive and rises to the sky, especially the phantom of the golden dragon and the red fire phoenix looks up to the sky and roars, the dragon hovers in the air, the fire phoenix and it seem to have a heart-to-heart connection, and the two go one after another, the scene is breathtaking. Then the two circled in reverse and backwards, flew around the altar nine times, and finally flew towards the golden tripod to change into its original appearance, and then the flames in the tripod were extinguished, and the ten golden crows were also extinguished in turn.

This practice of the emperor is to sacrifice himself to the heavens, in order to seek the blessing of the heavens, is the most solemn sacrificial ceremony, his behavior is to connect his luck with the country, and if the country is broken, he will be broken!

After a while, Yan Changzong was already tired and breathing heavily, his body seemed to be unable to withstand the breeze and swayed, Ye Qingya behind him was very worried about his body at this time and wanted to go over to help him.

But Yan Changzong was like Ye Qingya's second "heart", and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine, you stay there and don't move." ”

Yan Changzong's luck stabilized, slowly turned around, walked to Ye Qingya's side, took her hand and smiled, "Let's go." ”

At the same time, the hundred officials knelt down in unison and said loudly: "God bless the Beixiao Kingdom!" God bless Your Majesty! ”

At this time, a civil official named Zhou Li said respectfully to Yan Changzong: "Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of today's good day to go to the Baihui Mountain to have a look?" ”

Yan Changzong was puzzled: "Why? ”

Zhou Li said with a smile: "I heard that there is a Shangxian Temple on Baihui Mountain, this temple is very effective, many people who went to pray have been favored, Your Majesty can just take Niangniang to go with you, pray for the dragon in Niangniang's womb!"

Yan Changzong was also in a very good mood at this time, anyway, he didn't have anything important to deal with recently, so he looked at Ye Qingya and said with a smile: "Then how about we go to Baihui Mountain?"

Ye Qingya smiled: "I'll follow you wherever you go."

Yan Changzong said to the hundred officials: "Everyone, Aiqing go back first, Qingya and I will go to the Baihui Mountain first, and Chu Ling and Doctor Tao will follow." ”

Everyone said together: "The ministers wish Your Majesty the dragon and phoenix on this trip!" ”

Then Yan Changzong and the four of them flew to the back of the Golden Feather Eagle and walked towards Baihui Mountain.

The hundred officials also left after looking at the emperor in the distance, some of them flew with imperial objects, and some rode away with spirit beasts.

Finally, the first rays of the day appeared at the end of the day, and the clouds in the mountains showed colorful colors under the refraction of the sunlight, and the crystal clear dew shone like the pearls, and the pleasant sounds of the spirits of the beasts came from the mountains.

What a picture of the morning in the world!
