In the early morning of the next day, the shrine was shrouded in warm sunlight. Once the Heavenly Court approved the legal priesthood, there was even a trace of golden light shining on the plaque.
It’s just that it still lacks humane support.
On the flat ground of the shrine, the army rushed to the shrine. All the soldiers were densely packed and gathered here.
Last night, all the eighteen hundred spirit tablets were made.
It's time for "Lord" to meet, and someone reminds me.
"Joy!" Ye Qing gave the order immediately without any delay.
The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs
Sacrifice is one of the two most important events in the country, along with the military. All dynasties have had a strict national sacrificial system. Generals who have received their vocation are legal and based on their rank.
Suddenly, the music started to boom.
This music is completely different from that of folk sacrifices. It is dominated by yellow bells and bells, accompanied by chimes and bronze chimes. In the music, a master sings:
"When Yunwei was the sage, he ordered the officials to worship, build an ancestral hall, and offer sacrifices to the soldiers in front of the hall. The heroes were given by the Holy Spirit...
Ye Qing listened very seriously, but when he saw everyone looked solemn, some people shouted: "Dance"
Selected soldiers waved their swords and danced, with golden sounds and jade vibrations, full of shocking heroic qualities. In the midst of the music and dance, a sheep and a pig were driven up.
The rules of sacrifice in this world are to offer sacrifices to the Taoist Lord and the Five Emperors, and to offer jade and oxen. The difference is whether it is five oxen or three oxen. Three animals are not allowed to be used, only oxen are used. This is called a big sacrifice.
In addition, the emperor and some noble gods used Tailao - cattle, sheep, and hogs (pig) were all available as "Tailao".
These sacrifices need to be raised in a prison before performing sacrifices, and they must be given an enema before the sacrifice to keep them clean.
However, princes and ministers (level five or above) are only allowed to use sheep and hogs in sacrifices, and no cattle are allowed to be used.
So this time I only used one goat and one goat. I rushed to the statue, put incense and candles on it, and with a flash of the sword, the blood of the goat and goat spurted out. This is the so-called blood food.
At this time, the music stopped, Ye Qing bowed, the soldiers knelt down on one knee, and shouted: "Shangshi!"
As the mountain shouted, wisps of white and red air poured in, filling the temple. After waiting for a moment, Ye Qing bowed and said, "Please bring the spiritual tablet into the side hall."
The host receives the sacrifice, gets permission, and then invites the spiritual tablet into the side hall. This is the ritual.
The music started again, and what was different from the previous one was that it sounded mournful and solemn. All the soldiers could not take their eyes away, watching the magician carrying thousands of spiritual tablets into the house. Seeing this, many soldiers shed tears and said
: "If you can enter the temple to offer sacrifices, your death in battle will not be in vain."
After the spiritual tablets were completed and the music stopped, Ye Qing and all the generals and officials entered the side hall and offered incense in front of the shrine. Of course, it was impossible for all the officers and men to worship one by one. They all sent representatives to offer incense: "Brother, you are good to go.
"
Although it was not possible to offer sacrifices with proper etiquette, traces of white and red gas were flowing in. In the incense, there were faintly the souls of many soldiers, crying in return. Seeing this, Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh.
Ye Qing remembered that some faces were still familiar, and he felt a little sad, but he couldn't lose his composure. After lighting the incense, he walked over and stood leaning against a pillar, his face seemed sad and happy, and he looked into the distance, and finally said lightly: "Yes.
The guests are coming, let’s go back to camp.”
"Yes" As soon as someone answered the order, they all left and the place suddenly became deserted.
The only thing that has changed is that the temple is filled with a kind of incense smell, with a white and red aura that slowly circulates in the temple.
ancient battlefield
Throughout the morning, a steady stream of so-called reinforcements arrived from all over the west of the county.
They all just handed over greeting cards and did not join forces with the Jundong Allied Forces. Instead, they set up a new camp, buried pots to make rice, and rode for reconnaissance...
The various busy things that had just arrived, and the gradually calming down of the Jundong coalition camp, presented two completely opposite atmospheres.
"The coalition forces in the west of the county arrived late...it seems they can't catch up with the meat."
"Li Yunzhen was the first to arrive. He had some opportunities, but bad luck..."
On a gentle slope in the distance, hundreds of magicians, led by a dozen real people in exquisite and mysterious Taoist uniforms, gathered together, casually exchanging information about the temporary alliance in the west of the county.
"Jun Dong's aura is a bit strange." The leader, who was dressed in red with gold patterns, frowned.
"Oh...what does Master Nanli mean?"
After hearing this, the real people around him couldn't help but pay attention. When watching the luck of the commander, they all tacitly avoided the dormant dragon in the main camp, and only looked at the calm and peaceful military spirit... It was so quiet that it always felt like it never happened.
Things are the same.
"The strength is indeed good, but it looks like... you haven't experienced the appearance after the war, right?" Master Nanli was very puzzled. He carefully looked at the several military flags erected throughout the camp several times. It was clear that there was no blazing aftermath after the war.
The air escapes, which is easy to distinguish.
"Master Nan Li is right," Shao Hanzi immediately agreed, showing a respectful look towards the middle-level immortal sect leader, and took the opportunity to add insult to injury and said: "The other side may be bluffing... There was a bloody battle last night, and the enemy was powerful.
, no matter how heavy the casualties are, it may just be the reason why Ye Qing wants to take advantage of this ancient battlefield."
Master Nanli frowned. He had fought with a remnant Yin Cavalry on the way, and it took a lot of effort for his disciples to completely annihilate them. He didn't think that the battle last night was easy... Furthermore, he didn't like the malicious intent of this person's provocation.
In this world, mortals must pass the imperial examination to obtain the right to practice law, and to open a Taoist ban, one must be a Jinshi, have great merit, or have an imperial edict.
In total, there are about fifty places per year. Of course, this does not guarantee completion.
Immortal sects are different from local aristocratic families. They are out of touch with local military and political affairs. At the same time, they are subject to quota restrictions. They have different rights to revise laws and open roads and bans according to the size of the large, medium and small.
You can be aloof at ordinary times, but in troubled times, you have to be extra careful when facing the rise of real princes. Who is full of food and looking for trouble with a dragon now?
Yun Shuimen was originally conflicted, he just decided to act according to the prevailing situation, and used Master Cao's face to get involved in the Governor's Mansion. This kind of person who can get some light and get out in time is a good move.
At this time, he revealed it unceremoniously: "You are the master of a sect of the Immortal Sect. You must be a little conscious. You have colluded with the Li family and made the sect nondescript. You will rise and fall at your own risk. Don't drag me away from the Nanli Sect."
"Go in"
Shao Hanzi's smile froze, but he didn't dare to answer. He was right before Li Li, and the opponent was Yang Shen Zhenren... He cursed secretly in his heart.
Some of the real people around also suppressed their laughter and glanced sideways at this young man...
The fortunes of the Shaohan Sect are declining. There is such a philistine sect leader on the stall, and he has no sense of being a celestial sect at all. No wonder he is getting worse and worse. If he loses his place again, it can be said to be destroyed.
"The Heavenly Seal has fallen, and General Wei has established the Divine Realm, so don't think about the benefits of this ancient battlefield..." Master Nanli glanced at this and said to his colleagues in the surrounding counties and west.
Moreover, the ancient battlefield is still Yin, which has always been somewhat incompatible with Huode. No wonder he lacks interest. Everyone knows this, but looking at the faint golden light appearing on the land in the distance, they are all dark jaws.
The so-called cutting down mountains and destroying temples is to deal with different systems, and it is difficult to do it if the Heavenly Court is established.
"In fact, I suggest that peace and cooperation should be the main focus for the Shaodudufu. These so-called commanderies have a longer history except the Yu family - but it was also interrupted once by the destruction of the family, so there are many twists and turns now - Yudu has only experienced two or three dynasties, but our immortals
Where is the door?"
"Although it is difficult to achieve great success after leaving the world, it has lasted for a long time, and there are records and legends. We all know that heavenly power is not so easy to obtain, but do we really ignore the lifeblood of the sect in order to gain power?" Master Nanli said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.
: "And those green lights just now are far from being as simple as the Qingji of Heaven and Man."
"Could it be..."
All the real people looked at each other, but couldn't help but think and weigh quickly. Their expressions were very cautious, and they didn't have the same contempt for Shao Hanzi just now.
"In the prefecture city, there is news from Guangyuan Gate that Qin Lie and Yu Fan will be tested instead of Ye Qing."
"Hey... no matter how powerful the Guangyuan sect is, it can't control the sect that is not Huang De. We will only follow our own interests."
"That's right. Our power is limited and information is slower. The Great Immortal Sect always gets the big picture news first. There are always all kinds of deliberately laid traps... We had previously made rumors that we wanted to support Ye Qing, but now we have changed our words, ha...
In the fairy sect ecology of this domain, all the right to speak is ultimately based on strength. Not only the hard power of cultivation, but also the vision of choice in many critical moments is also a component of soft power.
Different from the big immortal sects overhead, which monopolize states, perfect Taoism and law, and have numerous talents, the survival basis of small and medium-sized sects is more based on the distribution of # domain characteristics.
The runoff in the west of Nancang County is not developed, so there is less water vapor, and the four channels of earth, metal, fire, and wood are relatively strong. Normally, the strength of more than a dozen small and medium-sized sects is distributed like this, but many surrounding factors will interfere with the strength.
The growth and decline presents a fairy gate ecology with ups and downs.
In terms of water virtue, Yunshui Sect is the dominant one in the east of the county as a water virtue, while Shaohan Clan is not mainstream in the west of the county as a water virtue.
In Jin De Shang, Nancang County is close to the southern border of Wei State. The somewhat ideal Jin De Immortal Gate moved to the grassland in the early years. For example, the Yingzhou Seven Soldiers Sect moved northward. At a young age, it is said that they participated in the Northern Wei Dynasty's invasion of the Northern Desert and Icefields.
Exploitation, to a large extent, is a humanitarian achievement that helps the development of Kyushu.
Lao——Humanity has a long-term destiny, which has the advantage that the disciples of the sects will emerge one after another. Now the momentum of development is getting better and better, but the sects that remain in this county are all without ambitions. At that time, they might have been bigger than the Seven Soldiers Sect, but they were one
They were all submerged in the assessment and no trace was left.
In terms of Tu De, since the rise of the Tu De Cai Dynasty three hundred years ago, the Fire De Sifang Sect, which originally monopolized Yingzhou, was implicated in the decline due to misjudgment and supporting the old dynasty. The originally strongest Tu De rose up after smelling blood and worked together to defeat the Sifang Sect.
After the matter was settled, they gathered spontaneously
In the Zhoucheng area, a new generation of great sects was formed with the Guangyuan Sect as the core. Although this new sect's disciples' strength and innovative techniques have reached the standards of the Great Immortal Sect, the sect's heritage and ideas of doing things are not as long as the real history.
The Great Immortal Gate.
With the Guangyuan Sect drawing on the talents and resources of the local Tude sects, there are no small or medium-sized Tude sects that have become popular in Nancang County.
Mu De, in terms of the overall environment, is distributed in large and small states and deep-sea islands in the east, but it is very rare in inland places. There is no Mu De sect in Nancang County at all, so it will not be considered.
So the only one left was the Nanli Sect, which was originally a branch that migrated out when the Sifang Sect was separated. The assessment rules of the Dao Sect acted as a check and balance, limiting the struggle to a certain extent, and not being completely chased to death by the Guangyuan Sect.
Some remaining branches survived.
This is similar to the pace of Yunshui Sect's gradual decline. Although the strength is no longer good, Zeng Daxian Sect still has a little bit of survival vision. As long as it is not deliberately seeking death, a more outstanding sect leader will always be born at the critical moment to serve as the immortal sect.
Your destiny choice will have a little more vitality.
The heads of all the sects in the county knew this, so when they saw Nanli Zhenren, they all made a decision. After weighing it, they all agreed: "We are about to take the exam, and we really can't take the risk, so we should help the young governor."
A free ride from the government.”
"Yes, after passing this level, you can deal with it according to the situation."
"Taoist Hua Shu came back from the investigation from the north. It is said that there are more than 200,000 Yin soldiers. This time it seems that they have chosen Nancang. We really cannot allow us not to fight with all our strength..."
"Thanks to Master Nanli for the reminder..."
Master Nanli listened quietly, with a reserved smile on his lips. He gathered the power of the Immortal Sect in the west of the county and sold it to the young governor for a good price... These stupid guys deserved to be sold to others and paid for them.
I will fail future assessments.
Until a disciple came over in a hurry, and after a silent exchange of spiritual consciousness, Taoist Nanli's smile became stiff.
"What's wrong?" Shaohanzi asked shamelessly, observing his words and expressions.
Taoist Nanli shook his head, thought for a while, and then said it: "The county and city issued a notice at midnight last night, and the door was rushed to deliver it overnight... The number of Yin soldiers going south is 400,000."
Suddenly everyone's expressions changed drastically. Shao Hanzi turned even paler and shouted: "Four hundred thousand? They are all coming for us, but there is no one on Yu Chengen's side..."
Someone looked at him with disdain: "The Yu family and his son just blew the whistle, and Yu Fan disappeared. Yu Chengen even defended 30,000 Yin soldiers and asked for help. Do you still expect him?"
This made some real people from the Immortal Sect who were once a juren feel uncomfortable: "In this case, then... I can only look at the young governor."
"What are the results of last night's battle?" Someone else asked at this time.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that they had returned to the original topic. Only then did they really become worried... Could this so-called young governor's martial arts be just a boast?
"listen……"
The sound of thunderous drums came from the distant military camp. Nanli Zhenren had already digested the shock and his face remained as usual: "The generals are being summoned over there. The Jundong soldiers must have made some moves. Let's go and take a look.
Can."
After a pause, he added to the Taoists around him: "No matter what, look at the Ye family's military spirit. It has already taken shape. With this military spirit, even 400,000 people can fight."
All the Taoists looked up and saw that with the sound of thunderous drums, the military aura was fluctuating like the water surface. There were faint flags inside, causing the groups of military auras to gather together and form one, with the central part
, even more arranged in an orderly and neat manner.
Of course, there is still chaos on the outside, and groups of military auras are gathering together and not dissipating, but they cannot be arranged in an orderly and neat manner.
So that everyone can understand the difference between the Ye family's army and the private armies of other families at a glance.
