Chapter 774: Sacrifice to Heaven and Earth, Variables
In the sixth year of Qin II, on the first day of the first month, it was appropriate to offer sacrifices, make alliances, and break ground.
Loulan City this morning was a little more noisy than before.
Groups of soldiers, led by Shangguan, wearing armor and holding long spears, took to the streets in full gear, scattered in various important roads, and were on alert.
The city gates were opened wide, and red silk was spread all the way from outside the city to the Shuhou Palace.
Lin Ze, wearing a black gold silk robe and a flat crown on his head, walked forward on the red silk with a calm expression.
Following closely behind were Han Xin and others.
After that, there were hundreds of civil servants and military generals who had participated in the discussion.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Ze came outside the city and came to an altar ten feet high. His eyes fell on Zhuang Zhou and Hui Shi on both sides of the altar.
Zhuang Zhou, who was wearing an indigo blue Taoist robe, took a step forward knowingly and said loudly: "When the time comes, open the altar to worship heaven."
Then with a wave of the whisk, steps appeared out of thin air starting from the altar, from top to bottom, forming a staircase that landed at Lin Ze's feet.
Such a method of creating things out of thin air aroused the admiration of the civil servants and generals behind Lin Ze.
Lin Ze, who had already received Zhuang Zhou's instructions, took a step forward, stepped on it steadily, climbed up the stairs step by step, and walked up to the altar.
Surprisingly, every time Lin Ze took a step forward, the steps behind him would disappear, which seemed to imply that there was no way to retreat.
Lin Ze, who had practiced countless times, stepped onto the altar, looked up at the sky forty-five degrees, and recited loudly: "Heaven shows its way, and human beings only show it..."
A memorial essay of thousands of words slowly flowed out of Lin Ze's mouth, echoing between heaven and earth.
After Lin Ze finished reciting the memorial text, a strong wind came from nowhere and swept up the wind and sand, overwhelming Lin Ze and the surrounding civil servants and generals.
Lin Ze narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this, and snorted coldly. All the wind and sand were approaching three feet in front of him, and if there was a barrier, it would be difficult to move forward.
Just listen to Lin Ze say in a loud voice: "Today, I, Lin Ze, pray to heaven and earth, there are treacherous officials and traitors who steal our country and the Qin Dynasty, do whatever they want, and commit heinous crimes."
"Today, the traitors are controlling the government and acting in perverse ways. I, Lin Ze, do not want to be the accomplices of the tigers and join in the evil deeds. I am willing to establish a country of my own, called Western Qin. I will expel the traitors and restore the world to a bright and prosperous world. Please bear witness from heaven and earth."
"If I am lucky enough to restore the Qin Kingdom to Zuo, I would like to treat the people of the world well, select the talented and promote them, so that the old will be able to die, the strong will be useful, the young will be able to grow, and the lonely, weak and sick will all be supported, men will have their share, and women will have their share.
Return."
"..."
Lin Ze said a lot of good things eloquently, and the sky changed again. This time it was no longer a strong wind, but dark clouds, lightning and thunder.
Lin Ze looked at this scene with a slightly ugly look on his face.
Zhuang Zhou had told him beforehand that the way of heaven was supreme, and on the day of great change, people who were not favored by heaven could still gain the qualification to compete for heaven's destiny through sacrifice.
But there will be some twists and turns, such as a strong wind blowing people off the altar and interrupting the sacrifice.
So when the wind started blowing up, Lin Ze used some small tricks to block the strong wind.
Zhuang Zhou once mentioned that if Heaven continues to refuse to recognize the identity of the sacrificer, it will even rain down thunder.
If you want to avoid this kind of situation, you can learn Buddhism and make great aspirations, such as benefiting the people and benefiting the world.
Lin Ze did as he was told, but it thundered.
How could he be so unpopular with heaven and earth?
Not to mention Lin Ze, Zhuang Zhou and Hui Shi were both stunned.
Logically speaking, this situation would never happen. If heaven and earth really didn't want to see Lin Ze, how could they allow him to be promoted to heavenly being?
Even if you are as powerful as a Taoist saint, you cannot make a person who is not favored by heaven and earth gain the recognition of heaven and earth.
With a "boom" sound, a thunderbolt fell about a foot in front of Lin Ze. This was a warning.
"Junior brother, the situation is different. If nothing can be done, the sacrifice can be terminated."
Zhuang Zhou's secret voice sounded in Lin Ze's ears.
Lin Ze really wanted to complain: "Who wouldn't say something if the situation is different? Why on earth were you there so early?"
When it came to my lips, it turned into another sentence: "Dare I ask my senior brother, can the thunder from heaven kill the heavenly being?"
Zhuang Zhou was stunned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and replied in an inaccurate tone: "The gods reshaped the body, it is indestructible, and it can sense the way of heaven. The thunder of heaven probably cannot kill the realm of gods."
Lin Ze's face softened slightly after hearing this, and he raised his head to look at the sky. A look of cruelty and disdain appeared on his face, he was capable of killing his employer.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came into Lin Ze's mind, three thunderbolts fell from the sky, pointing directly at Lin Ze.
Suddenly, an aura of death appeared in Lin Ze's heart, and goosebumps all over his body reminded Lin Ze that if he were to be hit by these three lightning bolts, he would either die or be injured.
Lin Ze suddenly realized that he seemed to have been tricked by Zhuang Zhou, and the thunder from the sky seemed to be able to kill the heavenly being.
But it was too late to wake up, the thunder was coming in an instant, and Lin Ze could not avoid it.
Just when the thunder from the sky was about to fall on Lin Ze's head, the power of heaven and earth in Lin Ze's body naturally burned. A feeling of "defying heaven and changing fate" directly dispelled the feeling of impending disaster.
The three thunderbolts dissipated subsequently.
Lin Ze's back was soaked, and he almost collapsed. It was not because he was frightened, but because he had just automatically activated the secret method "Destiny Against Heaven" and almost made Lin Ze fuck him.
It wasn't until the power of heaven and earth scattered between heaven and earth entered his body that Lin Ze felt better, with a feeling of fear appearing on his face.
Ever since he obtained this secret technique, Lin Ze has been afraid to use it due to the high consumption. Unexpectedly, he actually passively used it completely today.
The effect was surprisingly good, even lightning striking the head was reversed.
At the same time, the dark clouds above Lin Ze quickly dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky.
The sound of the avenue sounded, and with Lin Ze as the center, a cloud quickly condensed and landed on top of his head.
Except for the center point, which is a rich purple, the periphery is nothingness.
Immediately afterwards, white clouds came from all directions and merged into the clouds above Lin Ze's head, filling the void.
Most of the white clouds come from Han Xin and others standing next to the altar.
Lin Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the process took some twists and turns, he finally gained the recognition of heaven and earth and gathered a cloud that could accommodate other people's luck.
As time goes by, more and more white clouds accumulate, the color gradually becomes richer, and a hint of cyan appears.
Lin Ze looked at this scene with a satisfied expression. When the white clouds on the outside turned purple from outside to inside, they would be able to be used by him to help him advance further in martial arts.
This is the greatest benefit of competing for destiny.
…
On a mountain peak thousands of miles away from the Western Region, a simple altar was built.
On the altar, it was Di Xin who had just been reincarnated, praying to heaven and earth with all his heart.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck down hard, turning most of Di Xin's originally burly body into charcoal.
"Ji Chang, even if I am struck by lightning from the sky, I still have to regroup the dragon of destiny to fight for destiny and make a comeback."
"Loneliness will never make it easy for you, absolutely not."
Di Xin had a ruthless look on his face, held his head high, said nothing, gritted his teeth and endured, waiting for the second thunder to come.
After a while, the dark clouds dispersed, and a cloud naturally fell on Di Xin's head, making him look stunned.
Why is there only one thunder? Shouldn't there be at least four? Could it be that it failed?
No, how can there be a Dragon of Luck if you fail?
Di Xin was puzzled, until a picture emerged in his mind, and he suddenly realized it.
"Hahaha, you took away the luck of my reincarnation, took away the opportunity of my reincarnation, but I suffered the corresponding cause and effect. God's way is just as it should be."
