Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Sacrifice
"Bang"
"Bang"
"Bang"
The sound of firecrackers kept coming, the red lanterns hung high, and the entire eldest son city was a little more joyful out of thin air!
Looking at the piles of burning bamboos in the city, Jujiu felt a little worried in his heart, afraid of causing a fire, but he couldn't stop it, this must be the custom of removing the old cloth and the new at the end of the year in ancient times, and sacrificing ancestors!
"Let the soldiers work hard, and send more people to patrol from tonight!" Jujiu was wearing a red gold-edged nine-chapter costume, and the jade tree was in the wind, which looked quite festive!
"No, please rest assured, the people in the city are keeping watch all night tonight, to prevent the attack of the night beast, and naturally they will be cautious and careful about the fire!"
In the morning light, there is purple qi coming from the east, this is the most intense moment of the day, the vitality of heaven and earth, countless ancient wood elixirs are swallowing the vitality of heaven and earth, absorbing the purple vitality contained in this sunlight.
The eldest son city, which occupies a circle of nearly 100 miles, is located under the Fajiu Mountain Range, the ancient mountains stand in a forest, stretching endlessly, the mountains are deep in the white mist, and there is a morning glow to confide, in the distant mountains and dangerous places, there is a dull hiss from time to time, and after a silent night, the new hunt has opened the curtain again!
Unlike the bloody battles in the barren mountains, today is the end of the year, the end of the month, that is, Chinese New Year's Eve!
On the occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, the Jin government and the opposition of the whole country rested, up to the princes, down to the people of Li stopped working, and every countryman put on a new robe and gathered to the square of thousands of zhang outside the palace of the Jin Dynasty.
"Childe, when the time comes, please move and prepare for the sacrifice!" Meng Zhong looked up at Chenxi and reminded in a low voice!
Escorted by a burly guard soldier who was five hundred and nine feet tall, wearing a red bronze armor and a red robe, his body was as majestic as a mountain, exuding an aura of not being angry and arrogant, and he walked down the ninety-nine and five-level white jade steps in front of the Jinyang Palace on the top of the ancient mountain step by step, so he was not in a hurry, and walked towards the altar standing in the center of the square step by step!
Sacrifice is a major event of a country, just like the later dynasties to worship the heavens, and even need to bathe and fast for a few days, representing the sincerity to the heavens, and at this time, the degree is more rigorous than that of later generations, which is also the human race through the sacrifice to achieve spiritual comfort, no room for any exaggeration.
Finally, Kujiu came to the position below the altar, and at this moment Wushuang's eyes were looking at him, waiting for him to ascend to the altar!
The sacrificial platform made of white stone is five steps and nine zhang, which is to obtain the meaning of condensing the supreme of heaven and earth, and also because this sacrificial platform has the power to communicate with heaven and earth, touching the ancestors and sages who are sleeping in the underworld.
But this altar of sacrifice to heaven is not random to cast, it contains infinite mysteries, at the same time, the different levels of the countries, the casting of the altar of sacrifice to heaven is also different, a little overstep, will immediately attract the kingdoms to cut it!
At this time, in front of the wine, it is the high platform that covers an area of dozens of zhang square, five steps, nine zhang and five levels, at this moment, on the five-order high platform, in addition to the top high platform, there is Jin Guoding alone in the column, and the rest of the four high platforms below, into a column of six tripods and six feet, the flames are rolling.
Seven tripods and six tripods are the standard of princes, but unlike other countries, the top Tianding of the Jin Kingdom is cast in brass, with brilliant gold, which has suppressed the Jin Kingdom for 600 years, and it is also a psychic heavy weapon.
In ancient times, there was a saying that the mountains and rivers of Dingding, the weight of the tripod is as heavy as Mount Tai, the weight of the mountains and rivers is as heavy as ten thousand jun, the divine object is cast into the shape of a tripod, it can be imagined that the grade of this tripod is extraordinary.
The remaining twelve pieces, all cast in bronze, also have a history of more than 600 years, but no matter how you look at it, it is worse than the giant tripod on the altar of the sacrifice, this golden three-legged tripod is the Jin Ding, and it is also a symbol of the power of the Jin Dynasty!
"It is worthy of the Jin Kingdom that has been inherited for nearly 700 years, and this tripod is not weaker than the nine tripods, and it deserves to be the important weapon of the country!" Looking at the golden tripod placed on the altar and the flickering patterns, the Xuande brothers who accompanied Jin Jun to watch the ceremony took a breath of cold air!
"Ding is the supreme weapon to suppress the luck of mountains and rivers, when my Terran Emperor Yu cast nine tripods, expelled hundreds of tribes, set the world, suppressed the luck of the human race, so that foreign races do not dare to have a peep heart, Jin this Ding is also a collection of the world's divine casting, Ding Cheng is psychic, after hundreds of years of national sacrifices, the will of the human race and the years of heaven and earth aura have fallen more baptism, it is rumored that it is a town artifact!"
Suddenly, Xuan Hao's eyes froze, and two essences flashed in his eyes, looking at the golden Dading and muttering to himself, but it seemed to be asking Jin Jun!
Wisps of strange fragrance mixed with bloody breath, constantly overflowing from the Great Ding, the bronze canon, these twelve bronze sacrificial ritual vessels have exhausted the plasma of thousands of fierce beasts, among which there are hundreds of demon beasts, dozens of demon beasts The blood of the demon beasts of the demon realm, after several days and nights of fire, this huge black tripod has already been boiled out of a trace of translucent gelatinous materials, but it exudes bursts of strange fragrance.
The trapezoidal steps, all the way to the top of the five steps on the high platform, whether it is the white jade steps, or the white stone split bricks, are carved with a variety of lines, there are eternal, in the legendary reckless beast competition, there is an ancient dragon soaring for nine days, shaking the universe, there is a divine phoenix for the dance, the flame burns the sky of the nine heavens, these legendary beasts, but it represents an eternal myth.
The sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers and mountains, the slash-and-burn cultivation of the ancient human race, hunting and gathering, year-end sacrifices, all pictures, but at this moment become vivid, the ancient barren land seems to be alive, and it actually appears in front of everyone's eyes.
Standing under this altar at this moment, you can feel how vast the fortune of the human race is, how small it is, and the people around it are involuntarily prostrate on the ground, all looking at this altar with a look of admiration.
The power of God is like a prison, and the grace of God is like the sea, this is the coercion of the altar of sacrifice!
"The time has come, welcome the prince to the roof, sacrifice to the heavens and the earth, and announce the ancestors of the Jin Kingdom!" Su Qin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, bowed and shouted.
Under the watchful eye of the crowd, Jujiu did not hesitate, took a deep breath, his face became solemn, and he raised his feet and stepped on a step of steps.
Boom! His body suddenly seemed to hit an invisible barrier, preventing him from stepping on, as if he was not stepping on an ordinary step, but on a ladder to heaven.
"Whew!" The purple qi above the eldest son city rolled, and a dragon roar resounded through the sky, so frightened that the ghosts and gods fled for their lives, and in an instant, a sixteen-zhang long golden dragon turned into a golden light and silently entered the body of the wine!
Raise your foot again, and at this step, the altar shook. And on the body of Jujiu, the power of rich blood and qi exploded, and there was an invisible general trend stirring, this simple step drove not only him, but the boundless general trend of the entire Jin Kingdom.
On the rooftop, there is an infinite blessing of human luck, the real divine power is like a prison, and the divine grace is like the sea, and at this moment, the wine is on the rooftop, in a way, it is this rebellion against the will of the human race, this is against the sky, but the dragon qi is added, he ascends the heavenly platform with ease, and he can't stop him from advancing the law.
