Chapter 173: Mount Hatomo
Ten days later, early in the morning, the sound of firecrackers was heard everywhere, which meant that the autumn festival had begun.
The people cheered, the streets were lit up with lights, holding all kinds of fruit cakes, visiting relatives and friends, and the sky was already lively as soon as it was light.
At this time, Luohua had already followed the large army, starting from the palace and heading all the way to Mount Haruma.
The festival is held for three days, and all members who go to Mt. Hauma are to burn incense and bathe in a pious heart, and bow down to the gods with devotion to give thanks for the year's harvest.
Luohua's position is in the princess's soldier team, which was specially arranged by Xiangqing, in order to let Luohua hide his identity, he deliberately put on makeup and changed into the clothes of a male soldier.
She's on the thin side, but she's tall enough to be inconspicuous in the crowd.
Although she has cooperated, she is still trying to find the existence of Gu Cheng and others.
In the end, it was surprising to find that Gu Cheng was by the princess's side, but the monk was at the front of the team, that is, Emperor Yan's side, and he was very happy to see Emperor Yan and the monk chatting, Luo Hua was a little unsure whether Emperor Yan was optimistic about the monk or not, or what the monk's plan was for Emperor Yan.
The other one, Xiao Mu.
In the previous negotiation, it was said that Xiao Mu wanted to go with them, but now he couldn't find anyone.
Luohua's expression was solemn, and in the group of soldiers, she pulled her hat down again, no matter what, the most important thing for her was to find an opportunity to get rid of these people, so that she could get rid of them.
Turning from light to dark is a good way to gain the initiative.
Mt. Hauma is right next to the capital of Kunima, and the Autumn Festival lasts for three days, and it takes about a day to travel from Kunikyo to Mt. Hatoma, and the Autumn Festival will be held at noon tomorrow.
From Gu Cheng, I got the general topography of Mount Hatoma.
The place where the autumn festival is held is very large, it was built by the next emperor after the death of Emperor Rui, covering an area of 100 miles, and the most important thing is the Temple of Heaven where the sacrifice is held.
The overall layout of the Temple of Heaven sits south to north, which is very similar to the general layout of Guojing, and is also surrounded by two square altar walls in the shape of a hollow zigzag, divided into an inner altar and an outer altar.
The outer altar surrounds the inner altar, and with it as the center, there are buildings such as the imperial chamber, the palace, the shrine, the sacred kitchen, the slaughtering pavilion, and the bell tower to meet the needs of the entire sacrificial period.
The inner altar is mainly used for sacrifices, so there are few buildings, and the shape is simple, without cumbersome decoration.
Try to be as simple and generous as possible, the shape is square, two meters high, fifty meters long and wide, there are two groups of buildings, respectively in the front and back of the central axis on the two sides, the front is the altar, the back is the place to worship the gods, it is the regulation of simulating the palace building "front to the back bed".
At the beginning of the autumn festival, there will be a variety of livestock and melon and fruit delicacies prepared on the altar, there are as many as 38, symbolizing the harvest of the whole year, by the Yan Emperor toasting and sacrificing on the altar, and then to the place where the gods are worshipped incense, and then the banquet is held, so that the representatives of all walks of life can eat and drink after the sacrifice.
The map Luo Hua obtained, the only exit was on the altar, to be precise, under the altar, the altar was two meters high, which contained the secret passage.
Follow the secret passage to the Tomb of Ruidi.
She couldn't act directly, in her plan, the sooner she entered, the better, but Gu Cheng repeatedly told her that the vigilance on the first night was very strict, and after the sacrifice was performed on the second day, she would enter the secret passage after everyone had relaxed.
Luohua always felt that this time was boring, her skills, she could go to the secret passage with a teleportation, and whatever she said about being strictly guarded was just an excuse, Gu Cheng and the others must have other plans.
After a day's journey, Luohua finally saw the tall building of the Temple of Heaven.
White walls, marble buildings, and all kinds of guardian beasts, vivid, distributed in the eight directions of the Temple of Heaven, firmly guarded this Mount Hatoma.
It has been hundreds of years since Ruidi to the present, and it is not easy to maintain the style of the building.
And Mount Hauma, Luohua looked up, the whole Mount Hauma looked like a lying Arhat, there are mountains and waters, the water flows around the mountains, the mountains are lush, it is indeed a good place.
It's no wonder that Rhett chose to bury himself in this place.
Luohua followed the team and entered a large courtyard, which was a little dilapidated, far less intact than other buildings, and should not have been built for a long time.
After all, it is the residence of the accompanying soldiers, and it is too far away from the place where the princess and Emperor Yan live, so it is naturally incomparable, and Luohua wants to go to the altar from here, but he doesn't know how far he has to go.
She found a place against the wall and used it as her temporary bed, and a bold soldier wanted to grab the position, but Luohua was not polite, and directly hit the man to roll on the ground, and finally screamed and admitted defeat.
When the other soldiers saw this, they no longer dared to fight the idea of this thin soldier.
When it was late at night, the surrounding snoring sounded so much that people's ears hurt, and Luohua got up directly and went out.
The air outside the door was a little cold, but it was much better than the smell in the house, and Luohua walked along the path to the door, wanting to see the centuries-old building.
After a closer look, she realized that Mt. Hatomo was indeed different, and there was a faint flowing aura.
It is true that the aura has disappeared for thousands of years, but it is not completely absent, but this aura, it is not naturally existing, just like the spirit island, which is a large formation, forcibly left behind the aura, and here, this faint aura is more like coming from some items.
It's not surprising that there will be a little bit left over from some of the remnants of the end of the Dharma era.
But since she felt it, she naturally wanted to find out.
She followed the senses and walked all the way to the edge of the Temple of Heaven.
Finally, in what appears to be a deserted gazebo, a middle-aged man is found.
The middle-aged man looks ordinary and easy-going, wearing cotton clothes, in a desolate pavilion, alone, drinking a glass of wine.
When Luohua appeared, the middle-aged man seemed to see her as well.
Raise your glass and invite her to come along.
Luo Hua was not polite, the closer she got, the more certain she was that this middle-aged man had a remnant of the end of the law era that still had aura.
"Sir, so interested, what do you call it?"
After she left the temporary shelter, she was still wearing a soldier's uniform, and she was still a man at this time, and when she greeted the middle-aged man, she gave her hands hard.
"Sit, I have one last bit of wine, blessed are you, boy. ”
Luohua was not polite, sat down with his legs crossed, and even deliberately shook his legs, like a man.
"Autumn Festival, it's this day again," the middle-aged man poured a glass of wine for Luohua with emotion, and then said: "At this time of year, Mt. Hatomo will be lively for three days, and you are also here to be lively?"
Indeed, the Hauma Mountain is so big, and the Temple of Heaven also covers an extensive area, and even if there are people in ordinary times, there are only a few in twos and threes, how can there be the grand occasion of the Autumn Festival, so many people appear here.
Luohua heard from these words that the middle-aged man had been staying in Mt. Hauma for a long time, and heard that there was a group of special guards in Mt. Hatomo, some of whom had committed crimes, and some of whom had voluntarily come to guard the tomb.
