Chapter 252: On the Verge of Death
The rites of the family in this world are not cumbersome most of the time, but on occasions such as the enthronement ceremony, there is a set of rituals that are often fixed.
For example, today's edict ceremony, skipping the two links of expression and worship, and directly starting the final edict, which is obviously a bit unreasonable.
Of course, this is not impossible, the real highlight of the edict ceremony is still in the final edict, and other ceremonies are changed, as long as there is a reason, everyone can understand.
"Qingzhou Liu Qi, the official worships the eight-rank captain, fights bravely, is not afraid of death, kills many demon clans, enshrines the nine-grade gods, and is honored as ......!"
......
"The rest of the souls of the soldiers who died in the war of our human race, they will be blessed with good luck and good health, enjoy the incense offerings of the human race, and give the Yin Mansion in the underworld, and the dynasty will support the families such as Er to comfort the merits of the soldiers!"
"The Emperor's edict, may the souls of my Terran soldiers rest in peace!"
When Emperor Xia Xian read out this last sentence, it was already more than an hour later, and there was more colorful mist in the sky above the venue where the edict ceremony was held, filtering the sunshine very softly, and also making the entire edict ceremony look more auspicious.
"May the souls of our Terran soldiers rest in peace!" everyone present, including Mo He, bowed and said in unison.
At the moment when the voice sounded, the bronze giant coffin placed there, the light emitted on it instantly became more brilliant, the original bronze light, at this moment covered with a layer of gold, several armor soldiers who were guarding the side saw this, immediately stepped forward, and put their palms on the lid of the bronze giant coffin.
Just as these armorers were about to exert their strength and open the lid of the bronze giant coffin, Xia Xian, who had already recited all the edicts, walked to the side of several armorers and also put his hand on the coffin lid.
"Today's events have a reason, inevitably there will be a change in the edict ceremony, Lone streamlined the two ceremonies, in order to avoid the resentment of the soldiers who came to the edict, Lone personally for the coffin of the heroic souls of the soldiers who died in the battle of our human race. ”
As he spoke, Xia Xian began to exert force in his hand, and when several armorers saw this, they also exerted force at the same time to open the lid of the bronze giant coffin.
At the moment when the lid of the coffin was lifted, countless golden streamers swarmed out, shot into the void, and turned into figures covered in golden light, standing in a dense space above the venue where the edict ceremony was held, almost filling the sky above this venue.
"Licheng, may the souls of all the soldiers of our human race enjoy eternal peace!" The voice of the ceremonial official sounded, representing the end of this imperial edict ceremony without any waves.
Mo He turned his head and glanced at Su Chong beside him, and it happened that Su Chong and the others were also looking at each other, and everyone saw the meaning in each other's eyes.
The edict ceremony is over, and the next thing is to go to meet the emperor Xia Xian and ask for an explanation.
However, at this moment, a cloud of black gas suddenly appeared out of thin air, and then swirled and twisted, like a pitch-black portal, standing in the sky above everyone's heads, and a voice came from it.
"Our ghost cultivation is related to the rest of the souls of our human race in the underworld, and we have opened this door to greet us. ”
This sound sounded, like a stone thrown into the calm water, instantly stirring up a thousand ripples.
Emperor Xia Xian didn't react yet, but all the courtiers who participated in the edict ceremony immediately blew up.
"Bold ghost cultivator, dare to be rampant in the Imperial Dynasty Divine Capital!" An elderly imperial courtier standing in front stepped forward, and the moment he opened his mouth to scold, his voice was as deafening as thunder, accompanied by rolling thunder, as if it was really thundering.
"Rampant ghosts, so daring!" a middle-aged scholar with a serious face, his fingers quickly swiped in the air, and in the blink of an eye, a poem was written under his fingertips, turning into a white sun, emitting a blazing white light, heading towards the dark portal.
Although the rest of the courtiers were also scolding, when they saw that these two had made a move, the others did not continue to do it.
"Haha, I'm just here to welcome the heroic souls of the Terran soldiers who died in battle, and I don't mean anything else, after all, I'm waiting for ghost cultivators, and I was also a Terran before I was born, since you are so unwelcome, then I will leave, just a reminder, Xia Xian, make a decision as soon as possible!" A voice continued to come out of the pitch-black portal.
It was only after this voice sounded that this rotating pitch-black portal was dispersed by the two courtiers who had just shot.
This is also because the ghost cultivator who opened this pitch-black portal has no idea of continuing to maintain it, otherwise with the other party's ability to open this portal in the divine capital, I am afraid that this portal can also be maintained without being easily dispersed.
"Sure enough, after this edict, the luck accumulated by the dynasty in the past few years has been consumed a lot, causing the power of the dynasty's law network to be restored to decline again, and it actually allowed these ghost cultivators to take the opportunity to open a portal to the underworld at this time. ”
"Even if the power of the net of the law is reduced, it is definitely not a simple matter to be able to open a portal to the underworld in the divine capital, the ghost cultivator behind him either cultivates to the heavens, or has some special means, but his behavior seems to be a little too rampant. Watching the pitch-black portal dissipate, Mo He thought in his heart.
Opening such a portal in the divine capital of the dynasty is simply slapping the face of the dynasty, these officials of the dynasty, at this time, each of them has a dull face, of course, the one who feels the most painful should be the emperor Xia Xian.
Mo He turned his gaze to the Human Emperor Xia Xian, and sure enough, he saw that the other party's face was very ugly, and he was squinting at the place where the portal was opened just now.
At this time, in addition to Mo He, many people also set their eyes on Xia Xian. Under the gaze of everyone, Xia Xian's original anger gradually became calm, because at this time, he could not be carried away by anger, he was the human emperor of the human race, so he had the bearing of a human emperor.
"Lone is very angry now, the Imperial Divine Capital was actually opened by the ghost cultivator to open a portal to the underworld, and it was at this critical time when the Imperial Sealing Ceremony had just ended. ”
"The souls of the soldiers who died in the battle of our human race are still here, they have not yet gone to the underworld to rest, they are lonely, they have just been enthroned, and the heroic souls of these soldiers who shed their blood for the human race are in danger. ”
"Today, the gods of the imperial dynasty are not strictly guarded, and the heroic souls of the soldiers who died in battle of my human race are frightened, which is a lonely crime, and it is also a dereliction of duty by your civil and military courtiers. ”
"The ministers are derelict in their duties!" said all the civil and military courtiers present in unison, and many of the young courtiers still had angry faces on their faces.
The Imperial Dynasty Gods are heavy, and a portal is opened by these ghost cultivators, which is indeed a very dangerous thing, even if this is just an individual case, it will not happen again in the future, they must think of a remedy as soon as possible.
In recent decades, I am afraid that the net of the imperial law will not be able to restore its power at its peak, because an edict will be held every few years to make up for the impact of the previous emperor being crowned as a second-rank deity.
During this period when the power of the web of law cannot be completely restored, there must be new means of guarding.
"Of course you are derelict in your duty, and you are also derelict in your duties, since you are derelict in your duties, then you must be punished, you must first make up for the loopholes of the guards of the gods as soon as possible, and be alone as the emperor, and punish yourself for a day today, and no one shall disturb before tomorrow morning." After Xia Xian finished speaking, his mind moved, and he controlled the power of the law of the dynasty, and sent the heroic souls of the Terran soldiers who had just obtained the edict in the sky away, and then left without looking back.
"This?" The principals of the Qin and Ming families were a little dumbfounded now, and turned their eyes to Su Chong beside him, who was also a little dumbfounded.
At the risk of displeasing Huang Xiaxian, he wanted to take advantage of the end of today's ceremony to ask the emperor Xia Xian for an explanation, but suddenly such a thing happened.
Now that the Human Emperor Xia Xian is angry, and he is ready to punish himself for a day, it will be a little inappropriate for them to go again at this time.
At this time, to touch the head of the mold, it is really to offend the human emperor Xia Xian, and even the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty will be offended by the way.
"Let's go back first, and wait until tomorrow to meet the human emperor, this incident happened today, and it is no longer appropriate to go again!" Su Chong sighed softly, and then said to the hosts of the Qin and Ming families.
"That's true, then I'll go together tomorrow morning. The hosts of the Qin and Ming families nodded, they also understood what Su Chong meant, it was indeed not easy to meet the human emperor Xia Xian now.
On the way back, Mo He remained silent, thinking about today's events in his heart.
To be honest, everything these ghost cultivators did during this period of time was beyond Mo He's expectations.
Originally, Mo He thought that before this edict ceremony, the power of the previous dynasty would be very peaceful, but as a result, these ghost cultivators of the previous dynasty did something at this time.
Mo He boldly guessed that one of the purposes of these ghost cultivators might be to sabotage this edict ceremony, and as a result, these ghost cultivators did not take action until the end of the edict ceremony.
"The style is rampant, but it has never crossed the bottom line that the major forces of the human race can tolerate. Mo He felt that these ghost cultivators were now dancing on the tip of the knife, testing back and forth on the verge of death, although they were aimed at the imperial dynasty, but if they were not careful, they might completely anger the major forces of the human race.
Thinking of these ghost cultivators, Mo He thought of Xia Xian's performance today, and he couldn't say how amazing his performance was, but as the emperor of people, his way of dealing with this matter at that time was relatively stable, and he did not spill his anger, but suppressed this fire, and it turned out that this anger was much better than the effect of it, for today's situation, the civil and military courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty will soon come up with an effective way to make up for the guards of the gods.
Mo He was thinking of Xia Xian, at this time Xia Xian had already returned to the palace, came to a palace with an ugly face, walked into this small palace, and then commanded the attendants beside him.
"Close the door, go out, Lone has to face the wall here, don't come in and disturb Lone before tomorrow morning!"
