Chapter three hundred and sixty seventh Feng Chan manifests the saint
There is a specific sequence and etiquette for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth:
The conventional steps are to welcome God first, and then raise fireworks in the furnace to convey the vision of respecting God from the world to heaven.
Afterwards, one has to kneel three times and bow nine times to the gods.
It is also necessary to offer jade, silk and other sacrificial vessels to the gods and ancestors.
Including zu (zu), a special utensil is used to place animals and other meats, which means to ask God to cook and for everyone to communicate with each other.
Such etiquette procedures are cumbersome and require the emperor to personally bow three times and kowtow nine times.
But Zhao Huaizhong simplified these steps.
He was not planning to offer a serious sacrifice to heaven. The fundamental purpose of holding the ceremony was to tell the world that Qin would unify the six kingdoms, sit in Shenzhou, and dominate all directions...
Why are many tribes invited to gather in Xianyang?
It was to take the opportunity to demonstrate Qin's military prowess, force, and national power, to intimidate all tribes, and further establish its dominance.
Therefore, this ceremony is no less than a battle, the purpose is to defeat the enemy without fighting.
Zhao Huaizhong told Jiang Shu before that he was here to show off, and it was not just a joke.
Not only do you have to pretend, but you also have to pretend to scare others. Only you can pretend in the future, and others don't dare to pretend. This is a manifestation of strength.
When the Fengchan Ceremony began, Zou Yan appeared and after reciting the Fengchan Ceremony, Zhao Huaizhong waved his hand on the tower to signal the Qin army to practice their troops.
Clang!
Without any command or slogan, tens of thousands of Qin troops suddenly moved at the same time, waving their Changge.
Outside Xianyang City, the armors roared, the soldiers clashed, and the uniform movements exuded the fierce momentum of the iron horses.
On top of the city, there were the Southwest tribesmen who were invited to watch the ceremony, all of them looked solemn.
Today's Qin Army's military and offensive techniques were simplified by Zhao Huaizhong himself based on the Nine Ges of Soul Lifting and integrated into the Qin Army's martial arts.
Therefore, when the Qin armies from all directions waved their weapons, sweeping across and slashing at them, their momentum showed that they looked at all directions and showed their elite strength.
On both sides of the city tower, the tribes watching the ceremony had different thoughts, but the shock on their faces was obvious.
Among the people watching the ceremony were the leaders of the Yelang Kingdom, the Qiang, Yi and other tribes and tribesmen in the southwest.
Standing next to Lord Yelang, who had a high neck and was dressed in black attire like the people of Qin, was a middle-aged man with bronze complexion.
He is Sotuo, the leader of the Southwest Yue Tribe.
At this time, he was paying attention to the Qin army, his eyes were bright, and he said to the Lord Yelang beside him: "No wonder the Lord invites me to Qin to watch the ceremony.
Is it just for us to come over and see the Qin people’s military front?”
Lord Yelang kept his chin slightly raised and glanced sideways at his side: "My Lord has long seen through everything, including your thoughts.
You Soto just want to rely on our advantageous location in the southwest and pretend to surrender to Qin. When Qin comes, you will show weakness, but when Qin leaves, everything will continue as usual.
I once said that if you offend the Qin people, it will cause great disaster. You didn't believe it at the time. How do you feel now that you have seen the power of the Qin army in person?"
The leader of the Yue tribe, who was strong and strong, said calmly: "The Qin people's military strength is indeed beyond our reach..."
This is the success of the Qin army's display of sage.
Military strength is the most intuitive manifestation of national power, and the strength of the Qin army is obvious to all.
Once you have seen its power, you must consider the consequences of confronting it.
The leader of the Yue tribe turned to look at the top of the city wall again: "Is that King of Qin really as powerful as the legend says?"
Lord Yelang raised his chin higher: "When I entered Qin, there were rumors about the Human Emperor in various places along the way. My Lord, I don't believe you haven't sent people to inquire about it.
As far as I know, the depth of King Qin’s cultivation is beyond our ability to speculate.
You should know that the leader of our country is no weaker than others in his life, but why should I advocate all the ethnic groups in our southwest to surrender to the Qin Dynasty?"
The leader of the Yue clan pondered for a moment and said: "Because of King Qin?"
"Exactly, I also came to Xianyang the year before last and was summoned by the King of Qin to ask for advice about spiritual practice in person."
The aloof look on Lord Yelang's face finally subsided a little, and his neck lowered slightly:
"I have been practicing Yelang's Kyogen for more than thirty years. The King of Qin just looked at me and saw through the way the Qi was operating in my body, and he pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of Kyogen.
I got advice from the King of Qin and it took me two years to gain enlightenment. Before coming to Qin this time, I had just made a breakthrough.
The leaders of various clans who came to Da Qin with me the year before last took the opportunity to ask the King of Qin about his practice.
The leader of the Qiang tribe has studied the secrets of the race for more than 20 years, and King Qin mastered it at the highest level, the ninth level.
The leader of the Qiang people was the most fiercely opposed to surrendering to Qin before. Why do you think he changed his attitude in recent years and took the lead in conquering Qin?"
The leader of the Yue Clan next to him looked thoughtful, but his eyes were full of doubts, and he obviously didn't believe everything.
If someone else had said this, it might have some credibility.
However, Lord Yelang was naturally willing to brag because he practiced kyogen, which was known to all the tribes in the southwest. The leader of the Yue Clan seriously suspected that Lord Yelang was helping the King of Qin to brag, so he did not dare to believe it.
At this moment, the Qin army's military display ended.
According to the steps, the next step is for Zhao Huaizhong to personally offer sacrifices to heaven and perform the ceremony of conferring Zen.
The ceremony begins.
Zhao Huaizhong stepped out from the top of the city.
At the moment he took steps, the surrounding mountains and rivers seemed to be retreating, with fleeting lights and stars moving around.
The world seemed to be in a trance. When it stabilized again, the crowd watching the ceremony couldn't help but become restless.
In just a short moment, Xianyang City seemed to have been moved to another world.
Everything around me has changed. As far as the eye can see, there are towering mountains towering into the clouds.
King Qin used his magical power to move mountains one after another?
Including Lu Buwei, Wang Jian, Wei Liao and others behind Zhao Huaizhong also looked shocked.
Is this the legendary method used by immortals and demons to move the world and turn everything upside down?
“Tarzan!
Did the king move Xianyang to Mount Tai, or did he move Mount Tai to Xianyang?"
Even a calm person like Lu Buwei couldn't help but look horrified.
Zou Yan stroked his beard at the side and said: "No, this is a magical power that is thousands of miles away. The King of Qin took action and shortened the distance between Mount Tai and Xianyang, so we feel that the two places are close to each other, but in fact the distance between them has not changed.
It’s just that King Qin’s power temporarily suppressed the void, making us feel as if the two are next to each other, which is visible to our eyes.”
At this time, Zhao Huaizhong was seen walking from the city tower to the top of Mount Tai.
In the south of Xianyang City, climb Mount Tai to achieve Zen!
Zhao Huaizhong only bowed slightly towards the sky, and immediately drew out the aura of Xiantai Pillar from Xianyang Palace.
There is a shadow of the Xiantai Pillar appearing on the top of Mount Tai.
At the same moment, five colors of divine light appeared on the ground, and an ancient altar loomed.
The whole earth shook, attracting the power of the stars, and the changes that happened that night when King Jian of Qi summoned the ancient altar to appear.
Zhao Huaizhong stretched out his hand to grab it, as if he had absorbed some kind of energy from the five-color altar in Mount Tai, and stored it in his sleeves.
However, his speed was so fast that no one onlookers saw clearly what he grabbed from the Taishan Altar.
When Zhao Huaizhong took another step and came down from the mountain, he returned to the head of Xianyang City.
A certain power in the void slowly dissipated, and Mount Tai suddenly retreated away, disappearing from everyone's sight.
It feels like Mount Tai has been taken in and then put back.
The process shown by Zhao Huaizhong can be regarded as the ultimate manifestation of sainthood in front of people.
Anyone who has participated in the King of Qin's Zen Ceremony will never forget what they saw today.
You can imagine how shocked the leaders of the Yue Clan and other ethnic groups in the southwest were.
Next comes the serious sacrificial ceremony, presided over by Zou Yan, with the sound of ritual music, the sound of gold and drums, and the sacrifice to heaven and earth.
The Qin people's clan and ministers performed the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven one after another.
The whole process lasted until noon.
Next, those invited to watch the ceremony were collectively moved to the back hall of Xianyang Palace for the banquet.
But no one was in the mood to eat, and their thoughts were still filled with the scene when Zhao Huaizhong climbed Mount Tai and turned the world upside down.
However, Zhao Huaizhong has not shown up since the ceremony.
Previously, Shenxian, Xunzi and others followed Bai Ze and ran to Kunlun Mountain to explore the Kunlun secret realm.
Just returned this morning.
Sky.
Jiejiao dojo.
"What's the situation? What does the Kunlun Secret Realm look like?" Zhao Huaizhong asked.
The goddess is wearing a lotus-colored long dress and has an elegant figure: "I originally wanted to bring the Kunlun Secret Realm back, but when I entered, I found that the Kunlun Secret Realm can only exist based on the Kunlun earth veins.
In that secret territory, everything was ruined and withered, as if it had experienced a catastrophe. Only a little luck remained, and the entrance has been reopened in Kunlun Mountain, and you can enter and exit at any time.
The most valuable thing found was a small piece of spiritual root.
Take it and ask the Shennong family to see if it can be re-cultivated.
This spiritual root is connected to the foundation of Kunlun Secret Realm, and it would be impossible to find it without Bai Ze."
Siying took out a dark brown piece, about a foot long, like a dead tree root, and handed it to Zhao Huaizhong.
"This spiritual root may be the legendary flat peach spiritual root, otherwise it will not be connected to the foundation of the Kunlun Secret Realm."
Zhao Huaizhong responded and put it away.
He left Siying and returned to Xianyang Palace, but came to the Stone Hall of the Ancestral Temple again, entered the Floating Hall, followed the original path to the Immortal Platform, and looked at the broken road leading to the Immortal Palace.
After he left here yesterday, he has been thinking about how to enter Sendai Palace.
In the Zen Ceremony just now, the ancient altar that summoned Mount Tai with the guidance of the Immortal Platform Pillar reappeared, just to take the opportunity to absorb the breath of the ancient altar.
The ancient altar in Mount Tai is the only place found so far that is related to the Sendai system.
At that time, Zhao Huaizhong grabbed a ray of five-color light from the altar of Mount Tai, as well as the energy of Mount Tai's veins contained in it.
In addition, there is an unusual change.
After he ingested the breath of the altar, there were symbols on the jade key that he had obtained from the previous sacrifice that shimmered, absorbing the breath from the ancient altar into the jade key.
The jade key has been shining ever since!
At this time, Zhao Huaizhong took out the jade key, integrated it with magic power, and promoted it.
However, one by one the incantation symbols were peeled off from its surface, and on some of the symbols, the five-color shadow of Mount Tai's ancient altar actually appeared.
The symbol on the jade key fell to the ground, and immediately merged with the broken front road of Sendai, and the light flowed.
Zhao Huaizhong's eyes brightened slightly, and the Taishan Altar was indeed closely related to the Sendai system.
Many formation patterns also appeared on the ground, intertwined with the symbols of the Jade Key... The broken road ahead was actually closing.
This change is exactly the same as the process in which the Sendai Pillars were reunited and the cracks were healed and disappeared.
The white mist on the ground disappeared, forming a jade-like texture, slowly filling the road leading to the Immortal Palace.
If the ancient altar of Mount Tai is combined with the Jade Key, the path to the Immortal Palace can be continued.
No wonder there has always been a legend that Mount Tai is a place that reaches the sky... and is connected to the Sendai Heavenly Palace!
The way to enter the Immortal Palace was completed so smoothly. Zhao Huaizhong himself was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was natural.
The jade key obtained from the sacrifice is the key.
It was emitting wisps of light, as if urging Zhao Huaizhong to enter the fairy palace ahead.
