Jade Bi City is like a jade stone. There is a circular vacancy in the middle of the circular plane. In the central vacancy, there is an artificial planet suspended, which is where the Ancestral Temple of the Qin State is located.
The whole process of ancestor worship was very complicated. Fortunately, Han Sen and Bao'er were prepared in advance. They copied the memories of the two waiters and acted according to their memories without making any mistakes.
Han Sen and Bao'er followed Prince Qin Bai on the left and right, and had been kneeling in front of the statue of the ancestor for nearly three hours, but the ceremony was not over yet.
Han Sen secretly glanced at the statue of the Ancestor Emperor, and it turned out to be Qin Xiu's appearance. This made Han Sen feel a little strange: "If it was the Kaiowen who died in the genetic universe, why would the Kaiowen look exactly like Qin Xiu?"
Woolen cloth?"
Too lazy to think about this problem again, Han Sen secretly observed the side hall on the left, but unfortunately he didn't feel anything. In a place like this, it was hard for him to release his power to observe, otherwise it would be bad if he was discovered.
Now Han Sen finally understood why Qin Bai didn't like to worship ancestors. He didn't want to kneel here for a long time and listen to rituals that he didn't understand at all. From time to time, he had to bow three times and nine times. Han Sen roughly counted, from just now to now
, they had probably kowtowed for more than thirty years. If it weren't for the purpose of taking a look at the Well of Destiny, Han Sen would have been unable to bear it.
After finally completing the worship of the ancestor emperor, I then had to go to the side hall to worship the emperors of all dynasties. Although I already knew this process, it was still very depressing to actually do it.
Emperor Jingzhen led a group of royal family members and important ministers, and kowtowed to the tablets of previous emperors one by one. Even Han Sen felt a little confused after going around.
"How many emperors are there in the Qin Kingdom? How come the kowtows to each other are endless?" Han Sen looked at the rows of emperor tablets and didn't know how many emperors there were.
They are still kowtowing in rows. If they really kowtow one by one, they will probably die here just by kowtowing.
"It's not a good thing to inherit a family for too long. It will cause trouble for future generations." Han Sen muttered in his heart.
After finally paying homage to all the emperors, it was already midnight. Han Sen only remembered that they came early in the morning, either kneeling or kowtowing, and they have been kowtowing until now.
"Finally, it's my turn to worship the Well of Destiny." Han Sen breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Bao'er on the side doing the same. The two of them had lived for so many years, but they didn't kowtow as much as they did today.
When worshiping the Tianming Well, all the ministers withdrew, and even ordinary royal family members retreated outside the ancestral temple. Only the direct descendants of Emperor Jingzhen were eligible to enter and worship.
Even Emperor Jingzhen's daughter could only retreat outside the palace and kneel there to wait.
Emperor Jingzhen only had one son, Qin Bai, and Qin Bai had not yet married and had children. As a result, Emperor Jingzhen and Qin Bai were the only ones who finally entered the side hall to worship the Tianming Well. The others were in charge of the sacrifices.
The priest, and the etiquette attendants around Qin Bai, namely Han Sen and Bao'er.
Han Sen finally saw the legendary Well of Destiny. Different from what Han Sen imagined, the Well of Destiny did not have a royal look. It was just an old well made of bluestone. The bluestone at the mouth of the well had been destroyed because of its age.
It is smooth and oily, as if it has been polished.
On the octagonal well platform, just as Qin Bai said, there were three words "Destiny Well" engraved on it. The handwriting of these three words seemed a bit familiar to Han Sen, and they were very similar to the handwriting of Qin Xiu he had seen before.
The image should undoubtedly be from Qin Xiu.
Different from the previous sacrificial ceremony, after Emperor Jingzhen and Qin Bai came in, this time they did not kowtow in a hurry, but knelt on the futon in front of the well, as if waiting for something.
Han Sen and Bao'er knelt behind Qin Bai, one on the left and the other on the right. From the memories of the two etiquette attendants, they only knew that they had to wait until midnight to start the sacrifice.
Part of the reason why the previous ceremony was so long was to wait until time to worship the Destiny Well.
There was less than a quarter of an hour left before midnight, and Han Sen could only wait patiently. Qin Bai was usually very arrogant, but he did not dare to go beyond the limits during the sacrifice. He honestly did whatever he was told.
I didn’t say much, I guess I must have suffered a big loss before.
Han Sen didn't see anything special about this Well of Destiny, and secretly wondered: "Did you say that after midnight, there will be something special about this well?"
Finally, I managed to stay up until midnight, and under the auspices of the priest, a simple worship ceremony was performed.
Compared with the previous cumbersome rituals, worshiping the Tianming Well was indeed very simple. Emperor Jingzhen and Qin Bai, the father and his son, burned incense and prayed, then bowed three times, and it was over.
Han Sen thought that was the end of it, and he was disappointed in his heart. He never saw anything special about the Well of Destiny.
But who knew that the ceremony was not over yet. Under the arrangement of the priest, Emperor Jingzhen got a sacrificial knife, cut his finger, and dropped a drop of blood into the ancient well.
After the drop of Emperor Jingzhen's blood entered the ancient well, the originally quiet ancient well suddenly felt like a pot was being boiled, with constant gurgling sounds, just like the sound of boiling water.
Han Sen was surprised. The expressions of the priest and Emperor Jingzhen changed slightly, but no one dared to move. They all stood in place, staring closely at the ancient well.
The noise in the ancient well became more and more intense. After a while, the black iron chain hanging down into the ancient well suddenly vibrated and made a rattling sound.
The iron chain was thicker than an adult's arm. One end was driven into the stone on the well platform, and the other end was hanging down into the well. At this time, there was a constant rattling sound, and the entire iron chain was stretched straight, as if there was something there.
It's like dragging it down below.
Han Sen frowned slightly. He had heard from Qin Bai the legend about the iron chain. It seemed that the iron chain locked the sacred beast of Qin State. With that beast suppressed in the well, Qin's luck would not be the same.
If it is exterminated, Qin will not be destroyed.
But Han Sen didn't listen to Qin Bai's words that there would be such a movement. He couldn't help but look at Qin Bai, and saw that Qin Bai's face looked a little unsightly. He was obviously frightened. Obviously, he didn't know that there would be such a movement.
The high priest suddenly said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, it is possible that the prophecy of the ancestor is about to come true."
"Really?" After hearing this, Jing Zhen's face showed joy.
"The water in the well is boiling, and the destiny is locked. This is the precursor of the prophecy predicted by Lord Ancestor." The high priest also had an excited look on his face, and he led a group of priests and ceremonial attendants to kneel down to the destiny well.
At this moment, a clanking sound was suddenly heard, and the iron chain, which was thicker than an adult's arm, broke from the well mouth, and the entire chain sank into the well.
Then I saw a volcanic eruption in the well, spewing out a large amount of well water. However, the color of the well water was a bit scary, showing the color of blood. A large amount of well water spurted out, hitting the ceiling of the hall, and turned into ashes.
