Chapter 374: The Sacrifice to the Heavens
"Let go!" Qin Lei glared at Xiao Xiaoqi fiercely, he had tried to break free, but he couldn't.
Xiao Xiaoqi was unmoved, and even clenched his hands tighter and tighter.
Qin Lei gritted his teeth, and he also saw the black crow on Xiao Xiaoqi's shoulder showing a weird smile at him, as if it was laughing at him.
"Bastard!" Qin Lei couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his other hand to slap it at Xiao Xiaoqi.
Xiao Xiaoqi was not afraid at all, and calmly watched Qin Lei's movements.
"Stop!" Ming Wanwan stopped Qin Lei at this time, and said to the queen at the same time, "Don't hurt my friend, can't I go with you?"
When the queen heard this, she showed a smug look at this time, and then she looked at Qin Lei, "Stop." β
Qin Lei frowned, but he was unwilling, "Queen Mother, these two people offended you so much, you can't easily bypass them!"
Before the queen could speak, Ming Bangwan rushed to speak, "Everything is my fault, if you want to punish me, punish me, if you dare to embarrass my friends, believe it or not, I will make trouble with the imperial brother!"
The queen hesitated, according to Ming Wanwan's character, she was really afraid that this girl would make some kind of moths.
"That's it......," the queen instructed, "The matter of the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is important, so let's make it a trivial matter, otherwise no one can afford to disturb the holy car." β
Qin Lei gritted his teeth, but the queen said so, and he didn't dare to refute anything, and finally he withdrew his hand, and Xiao Xiaoqi also let go, but Qin Lei's wrist that had been pinched was red.
Immediately afterwards, Ming Bangwan was forced to be dragged away by the queen, and Li Jiuju wanted to stop it, but Ming Bangwan gave him a reassuring look, and he could only give up.
Moreover, there are more important things, Li Jiuju doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, anyway, there will be no life safety tomorrow.
As for Qin Lei, the queen ordered him to keep an eye on Li Jiuju and Xiao Xiaoqi, and Qin Lei also accepted it happily, staying on the second floor and watching Xiao Xiaoqi and them.
Qin Lei clasped his hands in his arms and said coldly to Li Jiuju: "Now see who will protect you...... Originally, you were not qualified to stand here, but now that you are fortunate enough to participate in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, you should stay well, don't be uninteresting!"
Li Jiuju looked at Qin Lei, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's just a fox and a fake tiger, maybe you will feel very naΓ―ve and ignorant in the near future!"
"You ......"
Qin Lei was quite unhappy when he saw Li Jiuju, but before he could exert his power, a shout came from outside: "The Holy Emperor has arrived!"
Everyone suddenly fell silent, including Qin Lei, and some people who were sitting also stood up and looked in the direction of the entrance.
Li Jiuju and Xiao Xiaoqi both stepped back a little at this time, not wanting to attract too much attention from Ming Bo at this time.
Xiao Xiaoqi said softly at this time: "I'll wait and find a chance to get mixed up, after saving my father, you take people away, and I will cover you." β
Li Jiuju didn't think about it for long, and then nodded slightly, "Then we are ready to pick you up." β
At this moment, a large group of men and horses poured in from outside, but they were Ming Bo's guards.
Those guards are fierce and vicious, and they are not easy to mess with at first glance.
And behind the guard, guarding a chariot, the chariot does not look simple, pulled by two powerful unicorn spirit beasts, it looks like a small moving house.
The "little house" is gently covered with tulle, but to the surprise of others, there seem to be two figures in the car?
Xiao Xiaoqi frowned slightly at this time, and he could vaguely guess who the second person in the car was.
At the same time, the audience played ceremonial music and beat drums to shake the sky, making Ming Bo Pang's appearance look full of momentum.
Everyone stared at the scene in front of them, and there was only one who could deserve such an appearance.
After a while, the chariot came to the front of the Temple of Heaven and slowly stopped.
Immediately after, the figures in the car slowly got up, one walking in front and the other following behind.
The palace maid stepped forward and rolled up the light yarn, revealing the figure of Ming Bo Pang, and behind Ming Bo Pang, it was just the old heart!
Ming Bo did not stop, and finally stood in front of the chariot, looking around at everyone, he was dressed in a gilded dragon robe, with a flat crown on his head, quite a momentum of dominating the world.
"Long live the Holy Emperor, long live, long live!" everyone at the venue shouted in unison, and at the same time bent down to salute, probably because of the crowd, so they didn't bow down, but this also made it convenient for Xiao Xiaoqi and Li Jiuju, they didn't want to bow down to Ming Bo, they even just lowered their heads, and they didn't even salute.
The shouts of the ministers were so loud that they spread almost throughout the palace, and Ming Bo couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Then, Ming Bo Pan stepped out of the chariot and stepped on the ladder to the top of the Temple of Heaven, so Xin Yao followed closely, in addition, the Dust Annihilation National Master and Dongfang Changgong appeared at the right time, and also followed behind Ming Bo Pang, which should be regarded as a kind of protector.
During the whole process, everyone lowered their heads, didn't dare to get up, without the emperor's flat sentence, they didn't even dare to look at their eyes, except for the spirit master hall master to compete for heavenly selection, he should have some privileges, and he still sat firmly in his seat.
Click...... The audience was silent, and only the sound of Ming Bo's slow and crisp footsteps remained.
After walking for a while, Ming Bo finally reached the top, he stood at the top, looking down at everyone, at this moment, he was obviously the existence of the top of the Ming Hui Dynasty!
"No courtesy, flat body!" Ming Bo shouted without hurrying or slowing.
Everyone got up slowly, and then they dared to look up, but their backs were still a little burdened, and they didn't dare to straighten up completely, looking cautious.
Xiao Xiaoqi and Li Jiuju are different, although the two are cautious, they are not the slightest timid, hidden in the crowd, and it is difficult for Ming Bo to find them.
Xiao Xiaoqi was even a little impatient, and if Chopin hung on it for a while, the more torment he felt in his heart, and he was even estimating the probability of his current success......
"Bear with me. Li Jiuju said softly, "What should Ming Bo do next, when the brothers will cause some chaos to attract attention, then we will do it again." β
Xiao Xiaoqi nodded slightly, he didn't have anything to do, but he didn't want to burden the people of the Qishi Society.
At this time, Ming Bo sat down on the dragon chair at the top, and then he nodded to one of the Ministry officials below.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites understood, and immediately said loudly: "In the Ming calendar of one thousand and one year, God has the virtue of a good life, and sent divine power to give me the Ming Dynasty, which has brought unprecedented prosperity to the dynasty, and now the merits of the Holy Emperor of our Emperor, the ministers will see, under the leadership of our emperor, the Ming Dynasty will move towards more and more prosperity, creating an unprecedented Xiuzhen Immortal Dynasty, therefore, the special ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, thanksgiving to the heavens, feeding back to the heavens, hoping that the ministers can go hand in hand, and forever maintain the prosperity of the country!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone shouted again: "Long live the Holy Spirit, long live, long live!
"Okay!" Ming Bo Pan had an unusually confident smile on his face, and he got up and said impassionedly, "I believe that with the help of all Aiqing, I will have a broader future!"
Xiao Xiaoqi frowned slightly at this time, this is bright, and his heart is really not ordinary.
Xue Ying couldn't stand it anymore, "This guy is too narcissistic, and he is more ambitious than this seat." β
Xiao Xiaoqi smiled indifferently again, "Being in a high position and having lofty ambitions is understandable, I'm afraid that he will lose his mind and become unscrupulous." β
At this time, Ming Bo at the top said loudly again: "I announce, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, begin!"
As his voice fell, the entire Temple of Heaven began to glow with golden light......
Immediately afterwards, a palm-sized jade seal suddenly appeared in Ming Bo's hand, the jade seal is so expressive, the top is a hovering white jade dragon, lifelike, as if the next moment is going to fly away, the base of the jade seal is engraved with a few big characters with gold edges, I can't see what the words are, but it exudes a royal might, which makes people's hearts sink for a while.
Ming Bo raised the dragon jade seal in his hand and shouted: "The luck of inheriting the sky, the way of the sky, the national fortune, I am the Holy Emperor!"
The golden light of the entire Temple of Heaven became more abundant, and in addition, there was also a faint power of a rune.
At this time, everyone also found that a ray of golden light was seeping into their body, and it felt a little strange, as if it was connected with something.
"This is ......" Xiao Xiaoqi couldn't help frowning as he looked at the golden light that also seeped into his body.
Some of the people who were completely unaware began to panic, fearing that the golden light would hurt them.
Ming Bo spoke again at this time, and he comforted everyone, "Don't panic, this Temple of Heaven is from the hands of the Dust Annihilation National Master, called the Feeding Spirit Great Array, these golden lights are not harmful to you, but are of great benefit, because the Feeding Spirit Great Array is based on the national fortune!"
Everyone can't help but be shocked, the national fortune can also be used for things that cannot be seen or touched?
Ming Bo said to himself: "That is to say, the fortune of the country is strong, and you are also strong, as long as you work hard, the Ming Dynasty will also feed back to the ministers!"
It is so wonderful, many people have already felt the beauty of this, because their strength has faintly increased, and this kind of cultivation method is simple.
Everyone shouted one after another: "The emperor's grace is mighty!"
Xiao Xiaoqi didn't think so at this time, he could be considered to know why he couldn't see this big array yesterday, because the entire Temple of Heaven was one, and the Temple of Heaven was a rune array!
As for what Ming Bo said, yes, it can indeed bring a lot of benefits now, but this is also equivalent to tying the fortune of the country to the monarch and the ministers, and it is both prosperous and prosperous, but it is also a loss!
And Xiao Xiaoqi had to doubt Ming Bopeng's true purpose, he did this to control everyone's life and death.
Therefore, Xiao Xiaoqi had a lot of eyes, blocked the golden light, and did not let the golden light penetrate into his body, and the same was true for Li Jiuju next to him.
At this time, many people in the audience were excited, which can be described as very lively, but there was an atmosphere of universal celebration.
Ming Bo on the high platform looked at all this and was very satisfied, but there was a coldness in his eyes, and he glanced at the crowd, as if he was on guard against something.
Immediately after, Ming Bo waved to Dongfang Changgong on the side and asked, "Lord Dongfang, how is the situation now?"
Dongfang Chang bowed, he also knew what Ming Bo was asking, "Your Majesty, everything is under control, as long as the traitors dare to jump out today, they will be wiped out!"
Ming Bo nodded slightly, and then asked, "Listening to your report yesterday, Ming Xiaoling is not dead yet?"
"That's right, the minister saw with his own eyes that the second prince is indeed alive, and he still appeared in Wangxifang yesterday. Dongfang Changgong said firmly.
Ming Bo squinted slightly, "No, the second prince died three years ago. β
After he finished speaking, he deliberately gave Dongfang Changgong a meaningful look.
Dongfang Changgong instantly realized, "Yes, the second prince has long fallen, and now there is only the traitor Ming Xiaoling!"
Ming Bo nodded with satisfaction, and then checked the jade seal in his hand, "Remember, don't let him get close to here." β
"The minister understands that Zhengtianwei has set up a heavy defense at the palace gate, and once he finds his trace, he will be killed!"
"Well, what else, can Xiao Xiaoqi find out?" This is one of the questions that Ming Bopeng is most concerned about now.
"Xiao Xiaoqi hasn't found any traces yet, but the Holy Maiden of Xuanyumen has mixed in. Dongfang Changgong reported truthfully.
"Oh?" Mingbo raised his eyebrows, "Where?"
"On the second floor. β
Ming Bo smiled quietly when he heard this, but he didn't look for it, probably for fear of being detected, "Prepare, catch her, how can you do it without sacrifices in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony?"
Dongfang Changgong said at this time: "Do you want to arrest someone now? Maybe we can use her to lure Xiao Xiaoqi out." β
Ming Bo shook his hand, "No need, if you want to lure out Xiao Xiaoqi, it's enough to have his father here." β
As he spoke, he looked at a stake not far from him, and at Chopard, who was hanging from it.
"Arrest someone. Ming Bo Pan ordered.
"Yes!" Dongfang Changgong didn't refute again, slowly retreated and began to gather people and walk towards the second floor of the Temple of Heaven.
......
On the other side, taking advantage of the noisy crowd now, Xiao Xiaoqi and Li Jiuju happened to be ready to do it.
Li Jiuju walked to the side at this time, looked towards the bottom of the Temple of Heaven, and he quickly found Ziniang and Mi'er.
Zi Niang and Li Jiuju glanced at each other, and then both of them nodded.
Zi Niang will blow a whistle, it should be some kind of signal.
As the whistle blew, the civilian population at the bottom quickly reacted and suddenly became chaotic.
I don't know who suddenly shouted: "We are not convinced, why do we have to stand at the bottom, we have to go to the top!"
Such a call was not a sentence or two, but soon someone responded to it, and gradually, it turned into a piece of voice.
This movement quickly attracted the attention of the others on the Temple of Heaven, and everyone paid attention to it.
"What are these untouchables crazy about?"
"That is, being able to participate in such a grand ceremony is already a blessing accumulated in the previous life, and you still want to climb up?"
Similar discussions spread quickly, and many people expressed disdain for the voices of the civilians below, believing that such a situation would soon be suppressed.
In fact, instead of stopping, hundreds of civilians below began to climb the ladder and rush upward.
Zhengtianwei, who maintained order, quickly rushed to stop those who rushed up, "What are you doing?
However, those people seemed to have fallen into madness, they didn't listen to persuasion at all, and rushed upwards with all their might, and those Zhengtianwei couldn't even stop it, and the defense line was smashed open, and the scene was even more chaotic.
The movement was so loud that Ming Bopeng, who was standing at the top, could naturally see it clearly, but he was not in a hurry, as if everything was under control.
Then he said aloud: "Zhengtianwei listens to the order, I allow you to use spiritual power here, and there will be no forgiveness for those who disturb the festival!"
"Yes!" Suddenly, more Zhengtianwei rushed over, trying to suppress the civilians.
Some high-ranking officials on the Temple of Heaven couldn't help but laugh proudly, "These untouchables really don't know the height of the sky, and when they are on the field, how can they still live?"
"Hahaha......" There are a bunch of people who are watching a good show, so they should watch a performance and cheer them up.
However, the situation was once again beyond everyone's expectations, and it was originally thought that when Zhengtianwei could use spiritual power, it should be easy to deal with this group of crazy civilians, but it didn't.
I saw that most of the civilians were brave and good at fighting, and a strange force burst out from their bodies, and their strength was very great, but they repelled Zhengtianwei!
Some people in the know immediately reacted, "They are members of the Qishi Society!"
Everyone was shocked, especially those officials sitting in high positions, their bodies trembled, they had already heard of the name of the Qishi Society, this is a real killer organization, specifically targeting court officials, and it has come and gone without a trace, and it has caused Zhengtianwei a headache in the past two years.
It was too late to say that it was too late, and the people of the Qishi Society had already rushed to the third floor of the Temple of Heaven at this time, making the scene even more chaotic.
In the crowd, Li Jiuju nodded at Xiao Xiaoqi at this time, signaling that he could make a move.
Xiao Xiaoqi did not pause at all, blended into the ranks of civilians, and quietly touched the top, the target was the eighth layer where his father was.
Coincidentally, Xiao Xiaoqi and Li Jiuju's strange behavior was discovered by Qin Lei, who had been monitoring them.
"Oh~ It turns out that you are also traitors!" Qin Lei and the others immediately surrounded Li Jiuju.
At this time, Li Jiuju put away his original smug side, and glanced at Qin Lei with cold eyes.
Being stared at by Li Jiuju's eyes, Qin Lei's heart palpitated inexplicably, what is going on? How do you feel that this waste has suddenly become a killer who kills people?
However, Qin Lei did not flinch, but became more courageous, and spiritual power fluctuations suddenly burst out from his body, "Li Manzi, just arrest it, so as not to affect your whole family!"
Seeing that Li Jiuju was going to use spiritual power, his companion couldn't help but be a little worried, "Qin Shao, it's not appropriate to use spiritual power here, right?"
Qin Lei said: "Don't worry, we are here to arrest the traitor, and the saint will not blame us." β
As soon as the words fell, Qin Lei took the lead, his fist covered with a layer of spiritual power armor, and smashed towards Li Jiuju.
"Stinky barbarian, this time I'll see how you can beat me!" Qin Lei seems to have won the battle, he couldn't use spiritual power before, which caused him to be overpowered by Li Jiuju, he has long been unhappy about this, and now that he has the opportunity to use spiritual power to teach Li Jiuju a lesson, how can he let it go!
It can be seen that Qin Lei is now a purple-level spirit master, and his strength can already be regarded as a small master.
In the blink of an eye, his fist came to Li Jiuju's eyes, and Qin Lei's eyes were full of excitement, as if he had seen Li Jiuju being punched by him.
However, the next moment, Qin Lei only felt a flicker in front of him, and then his fist was caught by Li Jiuju, and it was caught steadily!
Qin Lei's pupils shrank suddenly, and before he could react, with a snap, the spiritual power armor of his fist actually made Li Jiuju burst violently!
Li Jiuju only said coldly: "What kind of thing are you?"
