Volume 2 Nine Plains Xuanxing Chapter 81 The Ancestor Worship Ceremony and the Secret Realm of Gouchen

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the day of the ancestor worship ceremony determined by Zhao Heng.

The ancestral temple is located in the northeast of the ancient city of Handan, Kyoto, about 20 miles, there is a group of magnificent and huge buildings here, but this building complex is not the palace of the emperor of Zhao State, but the ancestral temple of the Zhao family. The rest are the emperors and clansmen of the Zhao clan who died in the past dynasties.

And this place, which has been extremely quiet for thousands of years, began to be lively when the old emperor Zhao Heng announced that he was going to hold a ceremony to worship ancestors. Almost every day, he is a master who comes to probe openly or secretly. The officials and craftsmen who lived here were tormented by these people. Later, the Praetorian Guards sent someone to take over the ancestral temple, which made the situation better.

At this time, on the huge square in front of the ancestral temple of the Zhao family, the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Rites had already prepared all kinds of sacrifices and other things needed to worship the ancestors.

In the center of this square, there is a huge bronze four-legged square incense burner, which is more than two feet high. At this time, there are three sandalwood sticks that are the thickness of an adult's arm in the incense burner, and the curling aroma has always hovered over the ancestral temple for a long time.

Zhao Heng led all the clansmen of the Zhao clan to gather in front of the incense burner with a huge discount, and meticulously completed the entire process of worshipping ancestors according to the requirements of the Ministry of Rites.

In the audience, officials at all levels of the Zhao State, envoys from various countries, and heads of various sectarian forces were quietly waiting for the end of the ancestor worship ceremony as a crowd of spectators.

And the first person behind Zhao Heng is none other than Zhao Qingchan, who is the prince, although Zhao Qingchan is dressed as a daughter at this time, but the clothes on her body are orthodox Huanglong Yuntuan embroidered brocade robes, and the whole person is a little less delicate of her daughter's family, but has a little more majesty.

"Senior Brother Chu, this younger brother and sister is not simple! She has a strong dragon aura all over her body, and she must be an emperor! Are you sure she is just a trick for this old emperor?"

Hu Weiwei looked at Zhao Qingchan's mighty appearance, lowered his head and whispered to Chu Hong.

"Oh, Senior Brother still knows the way of observing qi?" Chu Hong was a little surprised, and said to Hu Weiwei.

"I understand a little, are you sure that the old emperor will open the Gou Chen Secret Realm this time?"

"Gou Chen's secret realm?" Chu Hong was a little surprised.

"It's the secret realm of the treasure of the former dynasty you said. This secret realm has a name, called Gou Chen Secret Realm. Since the collapse of the Gouchen Empire, this secret realm has never been opened. The major forces have sent people to look for it many times!

This time, you sent someone to send back the news, and the elders of the peaks felt that this might be the Gou Chen Secret Realm that disappeared at the beginning, so they sent so many people over at the expense of their blood. Otherwise, you really think that with just one of your tasks, you can get so many elite disciples to come?

Our group of people is only on the surface, and secretly there must be a real elite disciple in the Elder Carrier Sect who has come. And I estimate that not only our Jiuyuan Mountain, Qingyunmen, Demon Sect, and even the Dayu Heavenly Empire will have masters coming. So, you'd better be cautious. ”

Chu Hong listened to Hu Weiwei's words, and then realized that things were far from being as simple as he thought.

"Then what is in this Gou Chen Secret Realm, how can it attract so many people?"

"It's normal for you to be too young and young to know. The Gouchen Empire was one of the most powerful empires in the Vicissitudes Continent at that time, and even our Jiuyuan Mountain was not necessarily much stronger than him at that time. In particular, Emperor Gou Chen at that time was said to be about to break through the realm of emptiness and reach the realm of a true saint.

This Gouchen secret realm is the unique secret realm of the royal family of the Gouchen Empire, and it has always been the backyard of the royal family of the Gouchen Empire. It has never been open to the public, and even if outsiders are occasionally invited to enter it, they are tight-lipped. Originally, this was nothing, but the day before the Gouchen Empire fell apart, this Gouchen Secret Realm was once opened. Therefore, people at that time judged that Emperor Gou Chen should have hidden something in this secret realm of Gou Chen, or rather, this secret realm was inevitably related to Emperor Gou Chen's disappearance.

And this secret realm is valued by various forces, or it still stems from an old incident five hundred years ago. ”

Hu Weiwei watched the step by step ceremony of worshipping ancestors, and explained to Chu Hong.

"What's the old thing?"

"Five hundred years ago, a disciple of the Demon Sect suddenly appeared, and his cultivation was earth-shattering, and even the peak masters of our Jiuyuan Mountain and the elders of the Qingyun Sect joined forces and were not his opponents. That era was the era of the hegemony of the Demon Sect, and it was also the most bleak era for our righteous path monks. According to historical records, the man called himself the 'Winning Kui Sage', while the righteous monks called him the 'Black Devil'. Our righteous monks were suppressed to the extreme, and at that time, it was also the time when Her Majesty the current Empress of the Great Yu Heavenly Dynasty had just ascended the throne. Therefore, the Black Demon Ancestor wanted to raise an army to rebel, and arrogantly deducted the wild words to welcome the empress and become the co-master of the world himself.

In the face of such a provocation, Her Majesty the Empress resolutely sent a master to strangle the Dark Demon Ancestor. In the end, the forces of the Dark Devil Ancestor were strangled out, but the Dark Devil Ancestor was seriously injured and fled. Later, when cleaning up the spoils, a disciple of Qingyunmen at that time accidentally found the handwriting of the Black Demon Ancestor, and only then did he know that this person was actually the national teacher of the Gou Chen Empire who disappeared with Emperor Gou Chen at that time. and judged that he may have fled to the territory of Gou Chenmi. At that time, the Dayu Heavenly Empire sent people to almost turn the entire eastern region upside down, but they didn't find the secret realm of Gouchen. Later, the matter slowly fell apart. ”

"Although hundreds of years have passed, some people have been paying attention to this matter, after all, although the national teacher of the Gouchen Empire was not weak in cultivation before he disappeared, he was far from reaching the holy realm. After only two hundred years of disappearance, he actually broke through two great realms in a row and reached the holy realm. It's simply incredible. And the secret of this rapid breakthrough to the Holy Realm is very likely to be hidden in this Gou Chen Secret Realm, do you think it will attract the attention of those big people?

Therefore, this time, a treasure of the former dynasty that had never been heard of before suddenly came out, and many people suspected that this was the Gou Chen Secret Realm, so they sent their disciples at all costs. ”

Hu Weiwei's past made Chu Hong, who already had some clues, a little clearer.

"Senior Brother Hu, according to what you say, once this secret realm is opened, a large number of old immortals may take the opportunity to enter?"

"It's very likely, but it also depends on how well the secret realm is opened and how much it can endure. I estimate that the secret realm and the secret realm should not have been opened for hundreds of years, and it should have accumulated enough energy to allow those masters of the Imperial God Realm or even the higher Void Realm to enter. ”

"Doesn't that mean that if we enter, it will be the life of the food delivery?" Chu Hong said with some pity.

"Not necessarily, if it is really opened, someone should remind us of what realm people can enter. It's not too late for us to make a decision. ”

Hu Weiwei chuckled lightly and comforted Chu Hong.

At the same time, I also secretly sighed in my heart, you must know that I came this time, but I came with a very important task.

I still remember that the moment before I and the others were about to set off, I was suddenly directly detained by a magical force on the peak of Xuanxing Peak. The Sect Master and Master Xuanxing signed a decree to ensure Chu Hong's safety. If you can't go to the secret realm, don't go to the secret realm.

Therefore, Hu Weiwei did not hesitate to spend his words to explain and analyze to Chu Hong, hoping that Chu Hong would see the situation clearly and not be as reckless as before. Otherwise, the probability of dying this time is as high as eighty percent.

Hu Weiwei saw that Chu Hong finally listened to it this time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart,

It's so tiring to be a genius friend! Stimulation is excitement, but life is scared. You said that a little congenital monk, how can he be so able to toss? It's good now, in a place like the Far East, where birds don't, you can make such a big move.

Now don't talk about our Jiuyuan Mountain, even the competitors Qingyunmen and Tongtianguan know that you are such a person. Even the Great Yu Heavenly Empire and the deeply hidden Demon Sect were faintly listening to Chu Hong's news. The sect's plan to hide Chu Hongxue was completely bankrupt.

Hu Weiwei was thinking about a mess, and the ancestor worship ceremony over there was about to end.

With the high-pitched voice of the celestial official of the Ministry of Rites, "The ancestor worship ceremony is over", all the clansmen of the Zhao clan did the last set of long and complicated movements under the leadership of Zhao Heng. When this series of actions is completed, it will be the moment when the ancestor worship ceremony will be completed, and at that time, everyone present will be able to go back to their respective homes.

Finally, all the actions were completed, and Zhao Heng turned around to face the group of clan relatives behind him and the representatives of various forces who came to watch the ceremony. There was an imperceptible glint of excitement and anticipation in his eyes.

"All the Zhao clan relatives and representatives of various forces, I guess what you are most concerned about now is the recent rumors about the treasures of the previous dynasty, otherwise you would not have gathered in my Handan City. ”

Zhao Heng's tone at the moment was heroic and full of energy, and he didn't feel old at all.

"Today, on the occasion of the New Year, the ancestor worship ceremony is held not for anything else, but to pay tribute to a secret that my ancestors of the Zhao family have never forgotten for hundreds of years. But it's been too long, seven hundred years. For this secret, we Zhao don't know how much blood and tears we have paid in the past seven hundred years. I don't know how many clansmen were brutally killed.

Today I don't plan to let this secret continue to be passed on to my next heirs, I want to take this opportunity to make it public. As for whether you can find your own opportunities in it, it depends on the will of God. ”

Zhao Heng's words were like a bomb exploding in the crowd, and suddenly everyone on the viewing platform began to discuss.

"There have been rumors before that my Zhao family is the royal bloodline inheritance of the previous dynasty. That's right, I can tell you with certainty that my Zhao clan is the Gou Chen clan of the previous dynasty. As for the treasures of the previous dynasties that have been circulated, they also exist in fact, as for the specific location. It is also far away in the sky, close at hand. It's in this Zhao Emperor's Mausoleum. ”

Zhao Heng's words were not only on the viewing platform, but even within his clan at this moment, there was a lot of discussion.

Some of the elderly clan elders looked at Zhao Heng with a thumping of their chests, looking angry. In addition to the shock of the news, some young people are eager to try.

"As for the specific method of opening, I will sell it! Three days later, this place is still here, and I will open the secret realm of the previous dynasty. I won't stop anyone from entering, but I'll be there first. This secret realm was the resting place of the ancestors of my Gouchen Empire in the previous dynasty. There may be such a danger inside, don't force it, lest you make a mistake. ”

After Zhao Heng's last sentence was finished, there was a faint cruel smile on the corner of his mouth. And this detail happened to be captured by Zhao Qingchan, who was closest to him.
