In the center of the square in front of the palace, there is a huge altar, which is the place of worship for the gods built after the founding of the country, and it is also the place where the national festival is held every year in the country of Ba and the country of Ba in the present. Yan Zhao was sacrificed to Emperor Taihao back then, and now Yan Zhao himself has become the god of national sacrifice in Bayuan.

Around the altar, there are nine pillars that are several feet high and hug together. This pillar is made of wood, and has been sacrificed into a ritual vessel, and it was also erected by Yanzhao 500 years ago, and it is carved with patterns such as clouds, flying dragons, branches, fairy fruits, and birds. Feeling its breath, it is like nine towering giant trees, but the branches are entangled and turned into pillars, and the flying dragons, birds, branches and leaves, flowers and fruits on the trees have become patterns on the pillars.

At the top of each pillar is a striking bronze mask, which, when viewed from a distance, seems to be a strange human body with a strange face. The nine masks have different expressions, some have hideous faces, some have smiling faces, some have protruding eyes, some have winged ears, some have huge mouths that occupy half of their faces, and some have a cloud flying from the center of their eyebrows......

In this kind of place, it is not easy for the tiger baby to unfold the mana in her divine consciousness to disturb anything, but she vaguely feels that this altar and the nine giant pillars seem to be some kind of formation. He was wondering when he suddenly heard Mr. Changling's voice in the Yuan Shen-

"This altar and the nine giant pillars were built by Yanzhao back then, and no one dared to destroy them even during the civil strife a hundred years ago. It is a symbol of the founding of the country of Ba Yuan, and it is also the place where the national sacrifice is held every year, and its formation is only opened at the ceremony of the king's throne. These nine pillars are called Fuso, also known as Jianmu.

Of course, they are not real sacred trees, but salt omen based on legends. The Ba clan is the tribal descendants of Emperor Taihao, and he entered Ba Yuan not only to escape the scourge of war, but also to find a happy land under the guidance of his ancestors, and also to find the relics of Taihao.

Legend has it that Emperor Taihao opened up the sacred land of the emperor's hometown, and set up a building wood in the field of the capital as a ladder to the sky, and climbed along the building wood to grow into an immortal. The ruins of Taihao are ethereal and difficult to find, and Yan Zhao set up an altar here to simulate the construction of wood. Tell future generations that the so-called capital is wide and wild, and it is under the feet of the world. ”

Mr. Changling sat in the car in front of him and spoke to the tiger baby with a divine thought, and he knew that the tiger baby would have doubts in his heart when he saw the altar and the nine wooden pillars in front of the palace, so he told the tiger baby what he knew.

Of course, Huwa has long heard the legend of Jianmu, in fact, when the mountain god Li Qingshui is righteous for Baguo, he often walks by this square. When the mountain god told the tiger baby about this legend, he also talked about his own understanding - the so-called building wood of ascending to the sky should refer to the path of ascending to the sky in the eight realms, nine turns, and seventy-two steps.

There is no such ladder in the world that can reach the Imperial Land of the Divine Land. However, Emperor Taihao left behind the essence of the essence, which can make people refine the vitality between heaven and earth like the immortal elixir Langji. This is not only a secret method of cultivation, but also a guide to the Imperial Land of the Divine Land. And the tiger baby saw the magic circle and the surrounding altar composed of nine giant trees in Badu City, which is not only a symbol, but also has a very practical meaning for the people of Bayuan.

It can unite the will of all people, and have a common spiritual support and identity. This is a place to worship gods and ancestors, and its meaning is not only to respect and recall the ancestors, but also to cherish oneself and inspire. Cherish the zào created by the ancestors and inherited by oneself, based on the field of the capital. Create the world in which you live and leave it for posterity.

If the present man sacrifices to the ancestors, the descendants will sacrifice the present person. The sacrifice of the present man is due to the deeds of the ancestors, and the sacrifice of the future generations. It is the people of today who have done something. So in this kind of ceremony, we must understand a truth - what to do in this life, so that we can enjoy the sacrifice of future generations in the future?

When the tiger baby saw the altar surrounded by huge pillars and heard what Mr. Changling said, these were the things that came to mind.

The first half of the palace has a square and a main hall. It is the place where the courtiers meet and hold various ceremonies, and behind it is the residence of the monarch and the harem. Mr. Changling did not attend the court meeting, but went around to the side gate on the east side and entered the palace. The king knew that Changling was coming. The herald ordered the carriages and horses to enter the palace gate directly, and the accompanying elders waited outside the gate.

The two carriages did not stop until they came to the courtyard of a side hall, and Huwa sat in the car and heard a familiar voice: "Mr. Changling, Master Peng Keng, you have finally arrived!"

The tiger baby lifted the curtain and got out of the car, and saw a group of people standing in the courtyard, they had just come out of the house, and it was the queen of the country who was surrounded in the middle. Houxiao's appearance has not changed from a year ago, and she is still in good spirits. Huwa had personally treated his illness, and of course his physical condition could not be clearer, and within a year the monarch would have no problems.

Now there is still more than half a month left before the one-year period, even if he gets the elixir nourishment, Hou Qi is afraid that he only has a few months of longevity left, and after the autumn, his body will weaken day by day. But in any case, Hou Liao waited for Shaowu to return to Shaowu, and Shaowu had completed his entrustment that year.

At the same time that the tiger baby saw Hou Li, Shao Wu had already jumped into the carriage and pounced, knelt down in front of Hou Li, hugged his legs and said, "Father, my son is finally back." ...... In the past four years, I have missed you all the time!" said with tears streaming down his face.

Although in front of the ministers, Hou Liao couldn't hold back the old tears, and gently stroked the top of Shaowu's head with a tremor and said: "It's good to be back, I've been waiting for this day, you have suffered in the past few years...... Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me!"

It was supposed to be a scene of the ministers meeting each other, but because of the scene of the father and son meeting each other, no one present could interject, so they could only watch quietly from the side. Huwa met several acquaintances in the courtyard, such as the generals of Zhendong, Zhenxi, and Zhennan, as well as the engineer Shrage. He didn't know more than ten other people, presumably they were the most important ministers in the Ba Mu Kingdom and Hou Li.

But Huwa didn't see the general of the Northern Dao clan, and on the way he had heard that the sword general had committed something and had been demoted and removed this spring. Today, there are four Zhenguo generals in Bamuro Country, and the position of Zhenbei General is still vacant.

Why the Beidao clan was reprimanded has something to do with the tiger baby. After the autumn of last year, Hou Liao sent the Beidao clan as an envoy to visit Zheng Muguo, return the money, grain and utensils borrowed due to the disaster in Shanchuan City, and secretly sent Huwa out of the country to Wufuqiu. But the Beidao clan took the opportunity of serving as the envoy this time to make too much money, and everyone else mixed into the caravan in the mission, but he was good, he simply mixed in a large caravan with an embassy, and he did it blatantly.

At the banquet to entertain the envoys, the Beidao clan was ridiculed by the ministers of Zheng Muguo, but the general didn't care, and openly declared that Zheng Muguo wanted too many things this time, and he just wanted to earn back all the losses he had suffered.

When the envoy took a caravan to make a profit on a foreign trip, in order to make up for the hardships of the long journey, as long as he did not go too far, everyone would turn a blind eye. But the general of the North Dao clan was too flamboyant, and he actually said this openly at the state banquet, which was really insulting to the status of the national envoy, so after he returned to the country, he was impeached.

It is said that some people complained privately to the monarch's queen, accusing the Beidao clan of being pampered and arrogant, and having all kinds of despicable words and deeds during their mission to neighboring countries. This is not a false accusation, since someone is impeached, the monarch also has to deal with it, and he reprimanded the North Dao clan in public during the court meeting.

But Hou Liao just scolded, and didn't treat the Beidao clan well. After the Beidao clan "dedicated" a strategic material brought back from Zheng Muguo to the treasury of the country, the matter was closed. Everyone can see that this is the monarch's favor, because the Beidao clan recommended the divine doctor Peng Keng not long ago, and he has just made a great contribution.

Although the monarch let the Beidao clan go, the Beidao clan became even more arrogant, and asked around who was complaining in private? Even the ministers of the court and the central government were very puzzled, everyone knew that the Beidao clan's envoy to the neighboring country seemed to be flamboyant, but in fact, everyone did not resent him doing that in their hearts. And as long as he is not a fool, he can also know that the Northern Dao Clan is deeply favored by Hou Li, and this little thing can't sue him at all, and if he complains behind his back, it will only cause Hou Li's disgust.

No one knew who impeached the North Knife Clan, and of course the North Knife Clan couldn't find out, so one person was unlucky.

The Wind Collector is responsible for conveying news to the monarch of various places, and at the same time, he also conveys the events of the country to the various castles, and manages the wind collectors in each area. This position seems inconspicuous but also important, so it is called Fengzheng, if someone hears rumors of impeachment, the biggest suspect is Caifeng.

Even if it wasn't done by Lord Caifeng himself, it was very likely that it was done by the wind collectors under him, and what these officials are best at is secretly complaining.

The general of the Northern Dao clan inquired for many days to no avail, so he poured his anger on Lord Caifeng and ran to his home to inquire. This is not only a taboo but also a violation of etiquette, but the Beidao clan doesn't care, and they hold Lord Caifeng in their hands like a chicken and ask him, and he can't explain it.

The Beidao clan boasted at the time: "I don't see it, your little body is a hard bone, and you can strictly abide by the etiquette and law of the country, and you are very competent!" and then beat up Lord Caifeng.

This disaster is a big one, and Hou Liao was furious, removed him from the post of general of Beidao Town, and demoted him to the Pengshan forbidden land to be an ordinary town guard general. And under the coercion of the general of the North Dao clan, the unyielding master of the wind was also greatly rewarded by the monarch. In fact, the adults who collected the wind were beaten and received rewards very inexplicably, because he really didn't know who sued him!

This incident shook the national capital half a year ago, some people felt sorry, and some people secretly applauded.

General Beidao has stepped from an ordinary sergeant to his current position, and has a deep influence in the army. He used to be the main disciple of Wufuqiu, and more importantly, Shaowu was once the deputy general of the Northern Dao Clan. If Shaowu succeeds to the throne as the new monarch, the general of the Northern Dao clan must be his most powerful arm in the army. (To be continued......)
