After hearing this, the wizard laughed and said: "Yes, Heaven is Qi!
However, Heaven has no knowledge, Heaven listens to the people, and Heaven sees to the people.”
"Master, what do you mean, someone spied on us through the weather?" the youngest apprentice asked thoughtfully.
"Of course! Someone in the future should sacrifice to Qi Tian to get a glimpse of our ancestors!" the wizard said with a smile.
The apprentice said leisurely: "I don't know what this world will be like after thousands of years. I think my bones are already rotten, but I don't know if anyone will remember my name!"
The wizard smiled and said: "As long as you can become the emperor, your reputation will be imprinted in the sky, and it will not fall even if it lasts for thousands of years!"
The apprentice said: "I must become an emperor and build a big shrine so that my reputation can be passed down forever.
Let everyone know that my master is the great wizard who taught me!"
When the wizard heard this, he laughed.
…
"Ji grass is not easy to find..."
The so-called Jicao is actually grass stalks, the poles of millet.
Logically speaking, there are plenty of such things.
After all, in this era, millet is the staple food. Both rice and wheat are non-mainstream foods!
However, since it is used for casting spells, it is certainly not that ordinary. Just find a few in the field.
That means using millet straw grown in Sheji!
She is the land, and Ji is the food, which is millet.
In the ancient tribal Fang Kingdom era, a piece of land was often designated as Sheji, which was not only to worship the god of land and food, but also to be a place to grow millet.
It is said that only wizards are allowed to eat the millet grown in the land of Sheji in ancient times, or offer it to gods.
Even the leader of the tribe is not qualified to eat it.
And this kind of grass in Sheji is also a material often used by wizards to cast spells.
For example, divination, or this kind of doll.
However, in this era, the only one who can build a state is the emperor. And it has simply turned into a ceremonial building...
Of course, Tao Xiaowu estimated that the grass grown in the fields cultivated by the emperor himself could also be used.
Moreover, as Yang Fuhou, it is not too difficult to get a few grasses.
But the problem is that this is not Shenluo, but Hengyin, which is thousands of miles away from Shenluo.
Even if we hurry up now and send people to Shenluo to ask for grass, it will still take at least ten and a half days, which is simply too late.
Who knows when those Confucian scholars will take action?
Now that we feel in danger, the matter must be imminent!
Fortunately, Tao Xiaowu used the technique of sacrifice to penetrate time and learn this witchcraft that had been lost long ago.
Therefore, I have a thorough understanding of the principles!
He knew that in witchcraft and spells in general, many of the materials used had symbolic meanings.
That Jicao means Sheji!
This is why there are many scapegoat spells, whether in witchcraft or spells.
However, none of them could help Tao Xiaowu escape from the disaster.
You also need to use the sacrifice technique to learn this kind of scapegoat from ancient fragments.
However, this grass is not irreplaceable!
With similar and equally significant materials, straw men can actually be made.
And such materials do exist in the Yangfuhou Mansion.
Since ancient times, when the emperor enthroned princes, he often had to split the soil, that is, wrap a square piece of earth from the altar with white thatch and give it to the princes.
The meaning is that the emperor has granted this land to you...
Although this kind of ceremony has almost become a formality nowadays.
However, when Marquis Yangfu was granted the title of County Marquis, there was also this ceremony.
Tao Xiaowu once saw a piece of earth wrapped in thatch enshrined in Yangfuhou's mansion.
This kind of thatch has no practical control. If left for a long time, it may even rot.
Fortunately, the enfeoffment of Marquis Yangfu only lasted a few months.
Therefore, this thatch can still be used.
Tao Xiaowu stole the beams and replaced them with ordinary thatch, and no one would notice.
It's not that Tao Xiaowu didn't want to report it to Yang Fuhou Liang Xiu...
But this Fengmao, although it has no actual use.
However, the symbolic meaning is too great.
It symbolizes the fiefdom given by the emperor!
There was no way that Marquis Yangfu would give it to Tao Xiaowu.
Moreover, even if Yang Fuhou agreed, it would not have much effect.
Because this thing is under the control of Tai Changliguan.
Therefore, he had no choice but to use some means.
Fortunately, Tao Xiaowu was able to come into contact with these things as he was a wine minister in the Marquis Mansion.
This is naturally a very beneficial thing for Tao Xiaowu's actions!
The only pity is that this piece of thatched soil is enshrined in the ancestral temple of the Hou Mansion, not the family temple.
Otherwise, Tao Xiaowu could have completely guarded and committed the theft, and it would be as easy as a piece of cake.
Even in the ancestral temple, it is not managed by Tao Xiaowu, but by the etiquette officials sent by Taichang Qing.
However, although this piece of thatched soil is of great significance, in fact no one pays much attention to it.
Normally, no one would be so mad as to take such a big risk and steal a piece of soil and a few thatches.
Therefore, in addition to the dedicated servants cleaning and worshiping, there will be no special guards.
Tao Xiaowu came to the Houfu ancestral temple overnight, which naturally alerted the official Taichang Li.
Among the three princes, the prime minister is the leader.
Among the nine ministers, Taichang is the most respected.
Taichang was in charge of the heaven and earth that established the state, the gods, the rituals of humans and ghosts, the gifts of good and bad luck to the guests and the army, and the majestic objects such as jade, silk, bells and drums.
It can almost be said that all sacrifices and rituals in the entire emperor's court were under the control of Taichang.
It is precisely because of this that Taichang Qing's establishment is also the largest in the imperial court!
Especially in this era of communication with ghosts and gods, the importance of Taichang Qing can be imagined.
Originally, in ancient times, Tai Chang was the master of wizards.
However, in modern times, it has become a world dominated by Confucian scholars.
At this time, the Taichang Li official in charge of the sacrifices in the Marquis Mansion was also a Confucian scholar.
However, after he met Tao Xiaowu, he did not raise any eyebrows, and was even quite polite to Tao Xiaowu, to the point of being a little afraid.
But those who can be sent to the princes' mansions to manage the ancestral temple are of course some unlucky ones who didn't do well in Shenluo and were excluded.
I have dealt with Tao Xiaowu several times before and he was very polite.
And now that even the great Confucian Duke Fuqiu has died at the hands of Tao Xiaowu, this official is naturally in awe of Tao Xiaowu!
He was afraid that Tao Xiaowu didn't like him and came to cause trouble.
Tao Xiaowu was not polite to him, and said calmly: "My Ye Meng ancestral spirit is uneasy, so I came to check on you to see if you have been negligent and have treated the ancestral spirit of the Hou Mansion too slowly!"
When the Taichang Liguan and other officials heard this, their hearts beat secretly.
To treat the ancestors lightly, this is definitely a serious crime of beheading and confiscating the property.
Almost everyone in the group thought that Tao Xiaowu was here to cause trouble, and they almost cried.
