Chapter 10: Sacrifice to the Heavens
Summer goes to winter!
Walking out of the secret room, walking out of this room, you can already see that there is a goose feather snow floating in the sky, and there are snowflakes, which is a unique scene!
"Before I knew it, more than seven months had passed since I crossed over to this world..."
Standing in the courtyard, feeling the cold, watching the snowflakes fall from afar, Chu Yun remembered his hometown in another world... My hometown is in the south, and many times, even in the coldest weather, it is rare to snow.
If you want to see a hearty heavy snowfall, you can only run to the north.
The north, although it is not his hometown, is also his homeland, this world, Chu Yun still has not been able to completely integrate into it, and the snow here is not as pleasant as the snow in his homeland after all.
"Prince, why don't you stand in the snow without adding a piece of clothing, and you are not afraid of freezing. ”
Shuang'er saw it from afar, and immediately went to pick up a piece of clothing, and then ran back again.
When Chu Yun heard this, he laughed, it seems that not only he is not used to this world now, he is used to here, even Shuang'er has not accurately realized the biggest difference between him now and the past.
Cold?
At the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm, the coldness in the ordinary sense was no longer enough to affect Chu Yun's senses.
"Prince!"
Shuang'er hurriedly ran back, draped his clothes on his body, and then whispered: "Prince, tomorrow is the New Year." ”
Chu Yun's expression moved, tomorrow is the New Year, according to the habits of his hometown, today, is Chinese New Year's Eve.
Here, there is no habit of Chinese New Year's Eve, this Chinese New Year's Eve, only Shuang'er is accompanied, but, enough, one Shuang'er, better than countless people, because the original world, even if too many people surround him, how sincere can he be?
Seeing that Chu Yun didn't seem to react, Shuang'er said again: "Will you go to the festival on the first day of the new year?"
Worship the sky?
In Chu Yun's mind, information about the so-called sacrifice to the heavens appeared, and slowly, he also understood that this sacrifice to the heavens was an annual event of the Chu Dynasty.
The so-called sacrifice to the sky, worship to the sky, pray, pray to God, bless the country, the people, and the prosperity of the country!
On this day, everyone in the royal family will participate in it, which is indeed a big event.
Between Chu Yun's eyebrows, a trace of coldness slowly emerged, Sacrifice to the sky, this will probably be his opportunity, and it will be an opportunity for countless people in the palace to get to know him again.
"Do we need anything to prepare?"
Shuang'er said in a low voice: "No, as long as the person arrives, it's just that after the sacrifice to the sky, he will go out of the palace to worship the ancestors, the prince..."
Chu Yun finally understood Shuang'er's nervousness and worry, he rubbed Shuang'er's head with a smile, and said, "Go and prepare well, don't worry about other things." ”
"Yes, yes, I'll prepare!"
Shuang'er laughed and cried, this is joyful and full of relief, it has been ten years, of course, there are still worries!
In the early morning of the next day, the huge palace, the already lively palace, became more lively, too many people, early in the morning, began to enter the palace, worship the sky, of course, to be held in the most honorable place, and in the Chu Dynasty, the most noble place, is this palace.
The Chu Dynasty has been passed down to this day for thousands of years, and the base of the royal family is naturally very large.
Today's Chu king's line is naturally orthodox, in addition to this department, all branches of the royal family also have to participate in this ritual of worshiping the sky, so this sacrifice to the sky will be a grand gathering of the royal family of the Chu Dynasty.
The more people, the better!
Chu Yun took Shuang'er and walked out of Qianlong Palace and walked slowly towards the central square of the palace.
This is the first time in a few months that he has walked out of Qianlong Palace again, and speaking of which, it is also one of the few times he has walked out of Qianlong Palace.
Unlike any time in the past, today, walking on the avenue of this palace, there are many eunuchs and palace maids, and there is no more shameful and insulting words, everyone who sees Chu Yun is from a distance and begins to salute.
A few months ago, there was a murder in front of the Yinghua Palace, and I have to say that it was a big enough deterrent for these eunuchs and palace maids.
"The prince has arrived!"
Near the central square, the sharp voice of the eunuch sounded high, listening to it, it made people sigh and sigh a lot, this is the identity and status brought by strength.
If there was no such thing as the power to kill, how could there be this?
Chu Yun has long been accustomed to it, he is already high in the original world, he has seen more different strengths, and the different treatment he has brought, but Shuang'er, who is not aware of it deeply enough, such a sound made her taken aback, and she immediately became more and more nervous.
Whether it's sacrificing to the sky or worshipping ancestors, there have always been a lot of people, Shuang'er just hopes that they will finish these things silently without being noticed, and then go to do their own business.
Sure enough, with the sound of this voice, the people who had already arrived at the central square turned around in unison, and when they saw Chu Yun, in those eyes, no matter how restrained, more or less, there was some contempt in their eyes.
Yes, a few months ago, Chu Yun burst out and killed people, which made people see his changes, but no one knows how big this change is.
Killing the fourth-layer Qi Realm proves that Chu Yun's cultivation is at least at the same level, but what else is there? nothing, just by killing a eunuch, it is obviously impossible to gain the respect that the prince deserves.
"It's rare, since the death of the first queen, I have never seen the prince come to participate in this sacrifice to the sky, but I didn't expect to come this time, it's really a little rare. ”
As he spoke, someone appeared in front of Chu Yun and Shuang'er.
The person who came was of the same age, had the royal nobility, and had an extraordinary bearing.
The people who can appear here today are all people from the royal family, and this young man is no exception, but unfortunately, Chu Yun doesn't know, there are many people he doesn't know.
Since he didn't know him, there was no need to pay attention to it, as for this provocative move, there would always be times when they regretted it, and Chu Yun knew better than anyone else that worshipping the heavens and ancestors was important to him.
"Prince, it's too rude, isn't it?"
The young man stretched out his hand to stop Chu Yun, and his voice was deliberately raised: "I heard that after the master fell into the water that day, people have changed greatly, but he is so arrogant, it is inevitable, too uneducated, right?"
When he said this, he could capture the jealousy that flashed in the young man's eyes.
Chu Yun couldn't help but smile and asked, "Who are you?"
The young man said: "Rongjun Palace, Chu Lin!"
Chu Yun nodded lightly and said indifferently: "A few months ago, Lone broke out outside the Yinghua Hall and killed a martial artist of the four-layer Qi Realm, perhaps in the eyes of countless people, such a record is really nothing remarkable. ”
"However, Gu has been a waste for seventeen years, but all of a sudden, he has the strength to kill a four-layer Qi Realm martial artist, which inevitably makes many people feel uneasy. ”
"Therefore, there will be people who want to see how big the change is in Lone, and you are deliberately trying to test Lone, right?"
Chu Lin was a little uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "I really don't understand the words of the prince!"
Chu Yun's voice was slightly cold: "It's nothing to test Lone, but have you thought about it, if Lone's change is not big, waste is still waste, and what you get from it may not have many rewards, but if Lone's change is far beyond your expectations, Chu Lin, do you think you can still get out of it?"
Chu Lin was disgraced, and his footsteps couldn't help but retreat.
Chu Yun smiled, the laughter sounded directly in Chu Lin's ears, and at the same time, it seemed to spread throughout the entire square, and everyone, no matter how far away, could hear it clearly.
"If you want to test Lonely, you might as well send some decent people over, such a waste... Rongjun Palace, if you have time, Lone will personally come to Rongjun Palace, but I want to see if Lone's upbringing is not good, how is the upbringing of Rongjun Palace!"
The so-called upbringing, going further, is the same as having a mother's birth and not having a mother's education, Chu Yun can not care about any other form of insult, only mother and Shuang'er!
The voice spread, everyone's hearts were shocked, not to mention the coldness in these words, just the sound of these words, can be clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, this is not simple, and many descendants of the royal family present may not be able to do it.
"Shuang'er, go!"
Chu Yun stepped forward, and everyone in front of him stepped aside, and their eyes were a little complicated.
All the way forward, directly to the front, here, is the center of the square, stands a stone monument to the sky, as if connecting the heaven and earth, on which exudes the ancient vicissitudes of the years.
"Shuang'er, when will this ceremony begin?
Shuang'er was stunned and couldn't answer, she was also coming here for the first time.
"The hour is almost up, just wait for Princess Liu and the second prince to arrive, the ceremony will begin, as for the process, there is no trouble, the sacrifices to the sky and other things are ready, at that time, the process will be very fast. ”
Not far away, a voice was heard.
Chu Yun looked sideways, there was a smile in his eyes, he clenched his fists slightly, and said, "Hello Brother Sanwang, thank you for the incident of Tianshuang Tower that day." ”
The third prince Chu Lingchen chuckled lightly and said: "Rong Tingxuan has no dignity and humility, offending the prince, he should be punished, and it is also the obligation of the foolish brother to relieve the siege for the prince. ”
This sentence, of course, is polite, Chu Yun took advantage of the situation that day, and Chu Lingchen was just maintaining the face of the royal family.
Of course, this does not prevent the two from being polite now.
There are not many people Chu Yun knows in his memory, but at least a few brothers have seen them, and in this memory, Chu Lingchen, the third prince, is one of the very few people who has never stepped into Qianlong Palace.
has never entered Qianlong Palace, which means disdain for Chu Yun and disdain to pay attention to it, but in the same way, it also means that Chu Yun has never been bullied.
"In any case, I have to thank the three royal brothers, after worshiping the heavens and ancestors, I don't know when the three royal brothers will be free, I invite the three royal brothers to have a drink and chat to express gratitude. ”
When Chu Lingchen heard this, his heart fluctuated slightly, and after a while, he said: "Thank you for the prince's kindness, it's just that the foolish brother has taken on a new task, you have to prepare well, you won't be free in a short time, and when the foolish brother is done, come and invite the prince." ”
Chu Yun smiled slightly and said, "Okay!"
The two immediately stopped talking, the meaning of their respective words, the other party had understood, and the conversation naturally ended...
