Yaoguang's move towards the Bagua Jade Platform was obviously in vain.
No matter how much she wants to see her Liudi ancestor, she must follow the rules.
As soon as the nuns from the Tiannu Division entered here, they allocated at least half of their power to control the Bagua Jade Platform to prevent anyone from trespassing.
As soon as Yao Guang flew up, he was intercepted by several nuns.
Nu'e said: "Miss Yaoguang, you don't have to be impatient. The Wood God is the savior of the world. You must be in awe of him. You all have come here to pay homage to the mausoleum. After the sacrifice is completed, you will be allowed to witness the sacrifices of your ancestors."
Style.”
When she said this, Yao Guang had no choice but to wipe away her tears and wait patiently for the sacrifice to be completed.
Unless you stand on the Bagua Jade Platform, you will never realize how huge this jadeite stone is.
Jade is a very strange stone. It is a kind of jade, but it is not found everywhere. Its origin is only in Shiwanda Mountain in southern Xinjiang.
The finest jade is of smooth quality and priceless.
In terms of jade prices, the value of jadeite is generally higher than that of Hetian jade.
Human beings have an almost paranoid enthusiasm for jade. Jade is an important part of human civilization and is a symbol of purity and nobility.
The activities of offering sacrifices to the mausoleum began step by step.
For a sacrifice like this, three things are indispensable.
Jade, Gui inkstone, bronze tripod.
Millions of years have passed from ancient China to the present, but the rules of large-scale festivals have not changed much.
The sacrificer burned the watch and placed it in a bronze cauldron.
There are two people standing on each side, one holding an inkstone and the other holding a top-quality ancient jade.
The inkstone used for sacrificial rituals is an inkstone with sharp edges and corners, and the front end looks like a sword. It is said that it was made of jade in the past, but was later made of stone.
Ancient jade used for sacrificial rituals is divided into six types, also known as the six sacrificial utensils.
"Zhou Li Chunguan Da Zongbo" records: "Use jade as six utensils to pay homage to the four directions of heaven and earth: use the blue wall to pay homage to the sky, the yellow cong to pay homage to the earth, the green gui to pay homage to the east, the red canopy to pay homage to the south, and the white amber to pay homage to the west.
Pay homage to the north with Xuan Huang."
There are six ancient jade sacrificial vessels in total, which are precious treasures used to worship heaven and earth, and the gods of the four directions, southeast, northwest and northwest.
They are the Green Dragon's Gui, the Suzaku's Zhang, the White Beast's Hu, the Black Tortoise's Huang, the Huang Lin's Cong and the Cang Chi's Bi.
Judging from the names and colors, we also know that they are used to worship the east, south, west, north, earth, and sky in order.
Except for the big Yong tripod, the six jade utensils, and the Gui inkstone that Ye Xiaochuan could gather from Xiao Qi, no one else had any of these sacrificial utensils.
Fortunately, Nu'e had already prepared complete sacrificial supplies.
A group of people stood in an open space on the Bagua Jade Platform and began a lengthy sacrificial ceremony.
A very old nun took out the altar and started singing.
It was still sung in an ancient language, but Ye Xiaochuan and the others didn't understand it. It was probably just some rhetorical words praising the Wood God.
The old nun chanted for half an hour, while everyone stood there with their hands down, their heads lowered, not daring to move. If they moved, they would be immediately labeled as uneducated and rude barbarians.
Ye Xiaochuan was originally worried that Xiao Qi and the ghost girl would get into trouble, so he secretly glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that these two girls were as honest as big quails.
This made Ye Xiaochuan look at the two girls with admiration.
Even though these two girls always love to make trouble, they are very clear about etiquette.
From this point of view, they are definitely not ordinary second-generation playboys. They have received top-notch education and know that sacrifice is the most sacred and solemn ritual for all races in the three realms.
No matter how complicated and lengthy the sacrificial activities are, they have to endure them.
Half an hour later, the old nun finished singing, closed the black-yellow sacrificial watch in her hand, and prepared to hand it to Young Siming.
Shao Si ordered Nu'e to shake her head gently and said: "I won't be in charge of the sacrifice to Ye Ling this time. The real guardian of the tomb is right in front of you. Yun Xiaoya, come on."
The ghost girl said nothing, stepped forward from the crowd, stretched out her hands, bent ninety degrees, and took the sacrificial watch from the old nun's hand.
Ye Xiaochuan and others immediately broke into a cold sweat.
Along the way, everyone became more or less familiar with the ghost girl and knew that this girl was ignorant and incompetent.
All of them were afraid that the ghost girl would mess up this solemn sacrificial ceremony.
But the ghost girl's etiquette is flawless, just like the eldest minister in the imperial court's etiquette department, who performs all the etiquette and etiquette impeccably.
The ghost girl raised the sacrificial table above her head, stood in front of the bronze tripod, and said loudly: "Yun Xiaoya, a member of the mausoleum-shou clan, today led everyone in the world to burn the table to offer sacrifices to comfort the senior wood god. Kneel down!"
Except for the two nuns who were holding inkstones and jade objects in their hands, everyone else stretched out their hands to salute, then knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
The scene was very strange. After everyone kowtowed, their heads did not rise, but rested on the Bagua jade platform in front of them.
After about ten breaths, the ghost girl said: "Get up!"
After hearing the word "Qi", everyone raised their heads and stood up.
The ghost girl said again: "The catastrophe from the sky is coming to the human world, and all living beings are in disaster. Please pray to the Wood God for protection and help all living beings in the world survive this calamity. Kneel down!"
Everyone knelt down again.
Nine knocks and eighteen bows are the highest etiquette for worshiping the deceased.
The wood god can afford this courtesy.
Ye Xiaochuan saw that the ghost girl was hosting the entire Yeling sacrifice ceremony in an orderly manner, and he finally let go of his heart. At the same time, he secretly admired in his heart that the evil god is the evil god, and the daughter he has taught can stand alone in any situation.
Kowtow to the Wood God, the savior of the three realms. This is what people of future generations should do. No one has any complaints.
However, one person seemed to be a little distracted.
That person is Nangong Bat.
She came here to find her heart, but deep down in her heart, she didn't seem to be interested in the Wood God, and she didn't have much respect for him.
In fact, she seemed to hate Mu Shen in her heart.
However, out of etiquette, she had to kneel down and worship the Wood God.
The people who enter here, except Nangong Bat, are all cultivators. Kneeling three times, knocking nine times and bowing eighteen times is not difficult for them.
But for Yao Guang in the team, this kind of sacrifice would cost her life.
It will take at least several years for her legs to completely transform.
Although she could barely rely on her legs to stand upright on the ground, her feet were as painful as if they were scraping bones with thousands of knives.
Out of respect for Liu Di's ancestors, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain silently.
The suffering she has endured in recent years is unimaginable to ordinary people.
The fish tail transformed into human legs, and had to endure severe torture every day. In the past year or so, the fish tail turned into legs, and the pain that was worse than death, like burning the soul, gradually weakened and disappeared.
At this moment, Yao Guang stood on the ground with both feet, suffering unspeakably, but she could not scream out loud like she did when she transformed into a fish tail in the Underworld Sea. She could only bear this pain and suffering silently.
Of course, this was her own choice. To offer sacrifices to the Wood God and Liudi ancestors, no matter how much pain she suffered, she had to complete this sacred sacrificial ceremony.
