On the way to the mountain, Gu Ming's mood calmed down a lot, walking beside Liuyi, he didn't say much, just looked at those stone steps, thinking about something else.

Of course, the smoky mountain is very high, although those civil and military officials are already a little uncomfortable after only walking about halfway, but no one dares to complain a few words at this time, at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor is in front, and behind him are countless strong people in the cultivation world, they dare to make Daqi lose face at this time, they are afraid that after a sacrifice to the sky, their career will come to an end.

Not to mention whether you can still think about high-ranking officials and Houlu, and whether you can live the rest of your life comfortably, it's still hard to say.

However, fortunately, not all the hundred officials are the kind of scholars who are powerless, and many of them are cultivators who have just glimpsed the way, and it is not difficult to climb the mountain, and with their support, the hundred officials still climbed to the top of the mountain.

The top of the Smoky Mountains, because it was not the first time that a ceremony had been held to worship the heavens, had already been arranged, and there was a huge platform on the top of the mountain, which was large enough to accommodate these mountaineering officials.

There was a huge high platform at the front of the platform, which had already been arranged, and on both sides of the platform, the seats of those great cultivators had also been arranged.

After a while, Emperor Daqi took the stage to worship the heavens, and all the strong cultivators had to watch the ceremony in the designated seats.

There is no room for error.

Gu Ming, these young cultivators, would also be in the same column as the princes, watching this grand event.

As for the hundred officials, they would be in the middle of the platform, before the cultivation powerhouse, two long dragons would be discharged, watching the Great Qi Emperor walk through it.

Hundreds of officials stand according to the rank of officials, and they are very well-behaved.

Standing at the front, it is naturally Lord Taifu and Lord Taibao.

When Gu Meng and Liu Yi came here, the hundred officials had already stood up, and the cultivators had already taken their seats, but the Great Qi Emperor was still under the canopy and did not show up.

Gu Meng and Liu Yi stood at the end of the young cultivators who participated in the trial, and for a while, they still didn't attract attention, Gu Luo glanced at Su Su and the Southern Chu monarch successively, and then quietly withdrew his gaze, was silent for a while, and still said to Liu Yi: "I don't know what Liu Daoyou have in mind, but I still want to say something, the trial can be invincible, save your life first." ”

This expedition to the so-called Great Power Cave Mansion was extremely dangerous, and this danger not only came from the cave itself, but also could be killed by other young cultivators.

After all, the rules of this trial don't say that they can't fight each other.

Even if it is said, few people will take it seriously.

After a short period of commotion, a group of people from all walks of life in the imperial capital who came to watch the ceremony came up from the bottom of the mountain, and each found a place.

Liu Yi said: "When the time comes, you will have to rely on Gu Daoyou. ”

Liu Yi looked at the venue and said such a sentence.

But it seems to be a little careless.

Gu Meng didn't say much, but he didn't think about those idle things anymore.

Everything is ready at the moment, and the only thing left to wait for is the hour.

The Great Qi Dynasty's sacrifice to the heavens not only requires His Majesty the Emperor to come forward in person, but even the time is very strict, and there is nothing wrong with it, this is related to the face of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Time passed little by little, and finally in the distance, Daqi's musician began to play the ritual music, which meant that the heavenly sacrifice ceremony was about to begin.

People who don't know why just look at the excitement, and people who know something slightly frown slightly.

"Where's Dazai-sama?"

In the crowd, a voice finally rang out.

This voice was not loud, but it was still heard by many people, and everyone remembered something that had been forgotten before, that is, Dazai-sama, who was in charge of presiding over the heavenly ceremony, how could he not see a figure from beginning to end.

"Why didn't Dazai-sama come?"

More and more amazing voices sounded, from ancient times to the present, in addition to His Majesty the Emperor, it is indispensable for any dynasty to worship the heavens, and so is Dazai-sama, who presides over the heavenly sacrifices.

These two people are indispensable.

But now, Dazai-sama, who has seen the head and tail of the divine dragon, has not even appeared in front of everyone, what does it mean?

I'm afraid that anyone who knows a little bit should know.

Dazai-sama didn't come, and this sacrifice to heaven really can't be carried out.

But even if Dazai-sama is ranked as the third prince, on such an occasion, he dares not to come?

Many people remembered the rumors about Dazai-sama in the Xian Mall, and some people said in disbelief: "Is it possible that Dazai-sama is really immersed in a certain liquor store and lingering? Or Dazai-sama, is he really drunk?"

"Don't talk nonsense, how can Dazai-sama be so unclear about the severity?"

The retort was made by a scholar who had always regarded the Three Princes as an idol, and although he did not approve of Dazai-sama's daily behavior, it was absolutely impossible for others to tolerate others slandering one of the Three Princes.

"Dazai-sama is ranked as the third prince, there will never be such a mistake, even if Dazai-sama can't come today, it should be something that can't get out, maybe it's the strong man over there who is there, Dazai-sama raised his sword to meet the enemy!"

The scholar opened his mouth like this, although few people would really feel that it was as he said, but there were still some people who felt that what he said was right, Dazai-sama was not only a scholar, but also a very advanced sword cultivator, among the three princes, his knowledge was definitely not the first, but when it came to swordsmanship, the other two were tied together, and they were not his opponents.

The voice over there gradually reached Gu Ming's ears, listening to the four words of Dazai-sama, Gu Miao's expression, these days when he came to the imperial capital, he had heard many things, the Dazai-sama named Gu Bai had not appeared for a long time, and many bigwigs in the imperial capital were skeptical about whether Dazai was still in the imperial capital.

There are even more big people who have many doubts about the time chosen by Emperor Daqi.

It's just that these are things that are under the surface, and no one has made them public.

Gu Meng muttered, "If Dazai doesn't come, how will this end?"

The voice was not loud, and even Liu Yi didn't hear it clearly, but a voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Without Dazai, of course Daqi will lose face in front of these sects." ”

A middle-aged man in a white robe with a wine jug in his hand appeared behind him at some point.

The man was a head taller than Gu Ming, but he was not good-looking, after glancing at the scene in front of him, the middle-aged man straightened his somewhat messy bun, only then did he notice Gu Ming's appearance, he was surprised, and then said with a sigh: "Such a good-looking teenager is a little similar to when I was young." ”

When Gu Meng heard this, he remembered his cheap master on the mountain.

Gu Meng didn't say anything, he didn't know when this middle-aged man appeared behind him, which means that the other party's realm must be much higher than him.

It should be some of these great practitioners who came to watch the ceremony.

"You kid, why don't you reply?" The middle-aged man subconsciously patted his waist, and then remembered that he didn't bring a wine jug for today.

Suddenly withdrew his hand, the middle-aged man didn't intend to continue talking to Gu Ming, he walked towards the front by himself, muttering as he walked: "This kid is a sword cultivator, but how can the sword intent on his body not tell which sect it is?"

The middle-aged man walked forward, and soon passed through an area where young cultivators were standing, and finally came to several princes.

Originally, in the face of this middle-aged man who suddenly appeared, several princes frowned slightly, and only after they looked at it and discovered the identity of this man, did they whisper: "Dazai-sama." ”

This middle-aged man is either someone else, or Dazai Gu Bai.

Dazai nodded, turned his head to look at Prince Yu, and asked casually, "Your Highness looks at my hair in a mess?"

Prince Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Dazai-sama should have done it earlier, this is almost a joke." ”

Dazai smiled, "Your Highnesses, in this kind of important matter, let's learn more from Your Majesty." ”

After speaking, Dazai walked towards the front and appeared in the eyes of everyone.

At this moment, the whispering of discussion came to an abrupt end.

"Dazai-sama is here!"

The gentleman was the first to speak.

"I'll just say that Dazai-sama won't be so insignificant. ”

Someone immediately chimed in.

Dazai listened to those words, he didn't pay attention, just walked slowly, and soon came to the canopy, only then did he bow slightly, and a plain voice like water came out under the canopy, "That woman's sword fairy's sword, how is it?"

Listening to His Majesty the Emperor's question, Dazai smiled bitterly: "It's very domineering, just look at the way of the sword, if someone tells the minister that she is a woman, the minister will not believe it." ”

Emperor Daqi also laughed, "Being able to become the leader of the world's kendo as a woman, this kind of person, how ordinary is this, but you still have a chance, practice hard for twenty years, maybe you can fight." ”

Dazai nodded and smiled: "The minister will pick up a life this time, I don't know if next time, I will also end up with a sword and people buried in the belly of the fish." ”

Emperor Daqi snorted and ended the topic, "Go ahead, it's not too early." ”

Dazai straightened up, didn't say much, and walked out from the canopy, and under the gaze of the hundred officials, he came to the high platform over there step by step.

Taking charge of the festival is the most important thing for Dazai.

This is a major event of the dynasty, and it is not something that ordinary people can preside over.

The procedure of worshipping the heavens is cumbersome, and Dazai needs to do it one by one.

Watching the middle-aged man who walked out from behind him walk step by step to the high platform, Gu Ming, who knew the identity of the other party no matter how stupid he was, widened his eyes.

"Dazai Gu Bai, why are you so young?"

In his opinion, Taifu and Taibao are already old men in their twilight, no matter how young Dazai-sama is, how young can he be, how can he be a gray-haired old man.

But who knows, the other party is a middle-aged man, and he has talked to himself before.

It doesn't look like that kind of scholar leader.

Gu Meng rubbed his eyes, and suddenly lost his mind.
