Chapter Forty-Six: The Sacrifice of White Dew, the curtain opens

Thirty-five years of Wu Yi, Bai Lu Day.

White Dew, August Festival. Autumn is golden, golden and white, the yin is gradually heavier, and the dew is condensed and white.

For the Yin Shang clan, Bailu was an extremely important day of sacrifice.

The Divine Destiny Bird descends to give birth to business.

In ancient times, when the white dew was the time when the Xuanniao clan was preparing to go south, many ethnic groups in the Xuanniao ancestral land had to fly south to the Huangniao ancestral land at this time.

Especially the Xuanniao who was born and was born in the south, when he was in the south, he once left a family of blood, which was for Yan.

Yan is the blood descendant of Xuanniao after losing his supernatural powers, also known as Yuan Bird.

The swallow bird family is a typical spring and autumn migration, the first time of the spring equinox, the arrival of the first bird, the second wait of the white dew, the return of the first bird.

The so-called first and second phases, each solar term time period, 24 solar terms, each solar term is divided into three phases.

The sacrifice of white dew, since before the Tang Dynasty, is an important day of sacrifice for the Shang people.

After undertaking the summer destiny and becoming the central country, he worshiped his ancestors every time he went to Bailu.

Different from the ancestor worship on the first day, it needs to be in the temple, and the sacrifice of white dew can be selected from other places.

This time for the sacrifice of white dew, the place chosen by Emperor Wu Yi of Shang was the Sinyutai outside the palace, or Wanfangtai.

Before dawn on this day, the people in the city, whether they were merchants or not, spontaneously headed towards the location of Wanfangtai.

His Majesty Wu Yi will have a big sacrifice in Wanfangtai today, which is already well-known news.

Not only the people of Qiyi, but also many Fang countries around Yin Shang, especially the lord of Fang Guo who was named Fang by his son surnamed Shang, also came one after another in the past two days to worship together with Shang Emperor Wuyi.

Gaozu Chengtang and Yi Yin are the roots of their sons' surnames Shang and ruling Zhuxia, and for five hundred years, their merits dare not be forgotten.

When the lord of Fang Guo and the people of Fangyi came to the Wanfang Terrace and looked at the grand altar in front of them, they couldn't help but feel excited.

In front of the highest tower of Wanfangtai, a huge stone altar was built, and four steps led to it, several people high.

In the middle of the altar, there is a five-color altar with a length of half a zhang, and the platform is divided into five colors, which is blue, red, yellow, white and black, representing the virtue of the five emperors and saints;

Around the five-color altar, there are nine large tripods, which are divided into nine states, which are Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou, representing the work of Zhuxia and the land of all directions;

There are five kinds of Yueyu, treasure knife, red knife, Daxun, Dabi, Wan, Yan, displayed in the west of the altar;

Da Yu, Yi Yu, Tianqiu, Hetu, and Luo Shu are displayed in the east of the altar;

The dance costumes, large shells, and large snare drums made by the clan are displayed on the west side of the altar;

The Ge made by the Hui Fang, the bow made by the He Fang, and the bamboo arrows made by the vertical Fang are displayed on the east side of the altar;

The things of the four directions are juxtaposed on the stage, representing the prestige of Yin Shang and the prosperity of the sub-surname Shang.

The jade chariot is placed in front of the steps taken by the lord of the kingdoms, the golden chariot is placed in front of the steps that the Shang Emperor is going to take, the elephant chariot is placed on the left side of the altar steps, and the wooden chariot is placed on the right side of the altar steps.

There were two people wearing red black top hats and holding triangular spears, standing at the door of Yunhuaitai.

There were four people wearing blue-black top hats, holding on to the steps, and standing opposite each other on both sides of the steps.

In front of the east and west steps, two people each wore yellow and black top hats and held axes.

In front of the north and south steps, two people each wore white and black top hats and held three-edged spears.

There is also a person wearing the crown of the Heavenly Master, dressed in yellow and black clothes, with a sword hanging from his waist, standing on the altar, within the nine tripods, next to the five-color platform, it is the priest Ji Kao of this sacrifice.

Since the dawn of the morning, Ji Kao has arranged all the sacrificial things, and then climbed to the altar himself, holding his head high, looking into the distance, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Shang.

"Your Majesty is here. โ€

When the sun gradually rose, Wu Yi finally took the ministers of Yin Shang and came to Wanfangtai.

He was dressed in dark sacrificial robes, with a crown on his head, and he strode with his head held high, and walked towards the altar.

Behind him, all the ministers also came in black, walking on the road with their own thoughts, or expectation, or worry, or anger, all kinds of expressions, almost undisguised.

"Meet Your Majesty. โ€

Except for some people who had positions above the ceremony, when they saw Wu Yi coming, they all immediately bowed down and bowed their hands.

Emperor Shang waved his hand and smiled: "You are exempt from courtesy." Today, Wanfang Taichung will have a lot of good shows, you can come, you will not regret it, in the future, this will be the story you will tell to your children and grandchildren. โ€

After saying that, he laughed again, and then when he approached the altar again, his face gradually became solemn.

The retainers remained under the altar and stood on the west side, opposite the lords of the foreign kingdoms of Banggi who stood on the east side.

Outside, there are many armor warriors to ensure the smooth flow of the sacrifice, and the people of Fenyi are outside the armor warriors, they are actually far away from the altar.

However, even if you just watch this sacrifice from afar, it is not in vain.

Wu Yi went to the steps west of the altar, slowly walked up to the altar, stood in the middle of the nine tripods, under the five-color society platform, standing in the middle, looking down.

When Ji Kao saw Wu Yi standing still, he said loudly: "On the orders of Your Majesty, before the sacrifice, the law of all directions will be passed on. โ€

This was originally said in advance, before the sacrifice, for the Wanfang Tai, the thirty Qi Refiners who won the inheritance of the true person of the gods were awarded the inheritance jade slip.

As soon as he finished speaking, around the Yunhuai platform, on the thirty high platforms, there was a qi refiner in each of them, and he flew in the air and flew to the altar.

"Meet Your Majesty. โ€

These Qi refiners were dressed in uniform clothes, still dark and crowned, they all came to the clouds, watched them fly, and then under the altar, they saluted Emperor Wu Yi of Shang.

Whether it was the lord of all parties near the altar, or the people of Zhuyi who were a little farther away, they all felt that this scene was immense, and a kind of pride poured out at a glance.

"Qi refiners from all directions worship each other, Your Majesty is worthy of being a rare saint after Gaozong. โ€

"Yes, Your Majesty has Qi Refiners to help you attack Siyi, and you don't need to beg Wu Zhu to help them help like the two first emperors. โ€

"Wu Zhu was suppressed, which is a blessing for our people. โ€

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

The people of the town below watched this scene with relish, and were still discussing it in private.

Some elderly people recall that decades ago, when the first emperor Gengding, the power of Wuzhu was rampant, and many things that had nothing to do with the sacrifice of ghosts and gods did not need to go through the hands of hundreds of officials, and any Wuzhu could be dealt with directly.

And even if the first emperor Gengding knew, he never said that Wu Zhu did something wrong.

The power of the government was all paid to the hands of the three divisions, and the matters of expropriation were all subject to Wu Zhu's opinions.

Even almost, the witches wanted to use Yindu as the base to establish the witch religion and put the power of the Shang emperor under the witch religion.

At that time, the first emperor Gengding collapsed, and His Majesty Wu Yi took over the throne of Emperor Shang.

Then, he contacted Wuding's former ministers, protected his own life, moved the capital to Fuyi, established a platform for crimes, and suppressed Wu Zhu, step by step, in an orderly manner.

The people in the city, but they witnessed what Emperor Wu Yi of Shang did, and they were very deeply moved by this.

"Please worship the tiger and come to the stage with the inheritance of the jade slip. โ€

Ji Kao said loudly to a building in the distance.

Then, one of the people on the high platform responded: "No." โ€

After a "promise", there was a huge and incomparably whistling sound, which reverberated in Wanfangtai.

Then, the ground of Wanfangtai was trembling gently, and it was still very rhythmic.

Everyone looked up and looked in the direction where the tiger's roar and tremor came from, and found a huge black monster coming rapidly in the direction of the altar.

"This, a tiger?"

The appearance of the monster is indeed a black spotted tiger, but this tiger does not look smaller than a giant elephant.

On the back of the tiger, there is a heroic man, holding a delicate copper plate with both hands, and the plate contains thirty jade slips.

When he was a hundred steps away from the altar, the man on the tiger's back whispered to the giant tiger, "Stop here, you make me smaller." โ€

As soon as he finished speaking, the black giant tiger shrank into the size of an ordinary tiger, and then the man turned over and got off the tiger.

It was only when the man walked to the altar that everyone could see his countenance, his dark complexion, his tall build, his leopard's head and eyes, his swallow's jaws and his beard.

"Is this Chonghou Hu? Sure enough, he is a fierce general. โ€

When Ji Kao saw this person, his heart couldn't help but move, this is also a hundred years ago, Wu Ding's important minister, Chongfang's wait, and the famous tiger.

It's just that he is not like Hou Hao and Fu Yu, they all fake their deaths to get out, no longer pay attention to national affairs, and concentrate on cultivation. This Chonghou, who was named the king of Chongfang, has often consulted the Quartet for Yin Shang for a hundred years.

Chonghou Hu stepped on the altar, held up the copper plate with both hands, and bowed deeply to Emperor Shang: "Please Your Majesty preach the Dharma on behalf of all real people." โ€

Shang Emperor Wu Yi smiled: "I've been waiting hard, I just returned to Shiyi, so I asked you to do this." โ€

Chonghou Hu replied: "It is the honor of the tiger to serve His Majesty and Yin Shang. โ€

The sound was like a huge thunder, resounding in all directions.

"Okay, I am waiting for the humerus of my Tianyi businessman, and I will reward him for this matter. โ€

Over the years, Chonghou Tiger commanded the southwest and competed with the people of Shu, and now that Shang Shu has negotiated peace, Chonghou Hu will naturally return to the city.

Jiang Lan was also in the crowd, and when she saw Chonghou Hu, her expression changed slightly. She remembered very well that her father Yingxu Xuan's relationship with this Chonghou could be regarded as extremely poor.

In his early years, when Ying Xu Xuan drove for Emperor Wu Ding of Shang, he was slandered by many Chonghou Hu.

This is also the reason why Jiang Lan wanted to teach Chongpi, the grandson of Chonghou Hu, a lesson on the way from Youyu's family to Fengyi.

Of course, Jiang Lan also thought about these things, and what Emperor Shang did, every word and deed, is the focus now.

The curtain opened at this time.
