Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh sacrifice
Pei Ziyun finished speaking, but the plum blossoms moved, but did not show it immediately.
Yingzhou
The sun shines down, bringing some warmth,
There was a lot of wind in the city. Compared to earlier times, there were much less crowds on the streets. There were some vendors setting up stalls. There were fewer people in front of the bustling bun shop, only a few of them.
There were more patrolers. At this time, a team of soldiers patrolled by, and everyone was afraid of them. A person who bought buns scolded: "Damn the soldiers and thieves."
"I can't say it, I can't say it." The friend beside him was frightened after taking a bite, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "You dare to talk nonsense. The Marquis of Jibei defeated the imperial court, and then went to another county, and even killed Pingyuan Bo. He has been accused of Duke Ji these days, so you don't have your life or take me with you."
"What?" The man's eyes flashed, and someone started whispering.
Jibei Hou Mansion
The Governor's Office was originally the former site of the Duke's Mansion, and it was originally a grand rule. Now that the Marquis of Jibei has taken over and repaired it, it looks majestic and elegant, and it is indeed as elegant as the Duke's.
At this time, the palace was full of officials coming to discuss matters, filled with an uneasy and turbulent aura.
"The Marquis of Jibei is here!"
With the sound of the warrior, the side gate of the Jibei Marquis entered, and the officials in the field were kneeling on the ground and shouting: "See the Marquis!"
The Marquis of Jibei sat in the main seat with a smile, and reached out to the official and said, "You are calm."
"Mr. Xie"
As Jibei Hou said, the officials stood up one after another, looking disturbed. A warrior took a step forward and shouted to him: "Sujing."
The Marquis of Jibei also looked down from a high place, and there was no sound in an instant when his eyes reached.
Shen Zhi had already changed into the fifth-rank official robe at this time. He then took a step forward and reported: "Mr. Marquis, I have something to report."
"explain!"
Shen Zhicai shouted loudly: "Mr. Marquis, now we have defeated Pingyuan Bo, and have a place in one state and five counties. It is no longer in line with the situation. I also asked the Marquis to be crowned Duke."
Shen Zhi's voice was clanging and strong, and his words echoed in the hall. The officials looked at each other for a long time. After walking forward, he said, "Please take the marquis as the throne of the Duke."
The Marquis of Jibei sat on it, looked at it with a smile on his face, and was silent for a moment, saying, "You are the Lord, since you have asked me to be the Duke of the Kingdom, then that's it. Shen Qing led the ritual officer to prepare for the Imperial Ascension."
Shen Zhi replied: "Abide by the order."
"You have something else to do, report it one by one."
A general took a step forward: "Lord, I will report something to you. Although I have defeated Pingyuan Bo now, I have achieved many results, but the soldiers are still exhausted when they fight."
The veterans have suffered a lot. The most important thing now is to repair them. The organization of each government must be clarified, and the above-mentioned teams must be registered in the book."
"And the ordnance also consumes a lot."
The Marquis of Jibei sounded carefully and said that the small court had already started to handle matters in the court. However, although he listened, his mind had actually changed. Three more days would be the time to ascend to the Duke of Jiguo.
January 20th morning
The bell rang, and the ritual music sounded. A bird flew towards here. He was disturbed by the ritual music. He was so scared that he turned his wings and fled. The Marquis of Jibei changed his clothes in the mansion and counted the maids to serve him.
I saw that I was wearing a six-stamp crown and a yellow python robe, looking majestic.
There were already carriages waiting outside the mansion. The carriages were left and right, and officials followed. The Marquis of Jibei boarded the carriages and surrounded them to the altar outside the city to pay homage to heaven and earth.
The altar was prepared outside the city, made of five-colored earth, surrounded by guards, and was empty, with dense flags fluttering in the wind.
The Marquis of Jibei went down the carriage solemnly and saw guards on both sides of the corridor. Hundreds of musicians beat drums and chimes, and the music was loud. Amid the deep music, the Marquis of Jibei slowly walked towards the high platform.
Wherever he went, the officials knelt down one by one, and the Marquis of Jibei went up the steps and looked down at the bottom, with his eyes flashing. He had been involved in the world's struggle twenty years ago, and followed the emperor to storm and fight south and north. When he worked hard for many nights, he only thought about how many times he would reward him in the future. He thought about how many times he had the great emperor's grace was.
But the emperor only granted a title of marquis, and it was acceptable to grant a title of marquis, but the repeated cuts of military power gradually accumulated dissatisfaction.
At this time, he attacked and captured half of Yingzhou. He said that the life and death of thousands of people were really unable to sleep at night. This feeling was that nothing could be replaced.
"Your Majesty, if you don't give it, I'll take it myself!" As the Marquis of Jibei thought this way, he felt that his fear, depression and excitement had been integrated for many days.
"Happy!" This sound awakened the Marquis of Jibei. Marquis of Jibei no longer hesitated and said loudly: "I dare to sue the heavens carefully. The emperor gathers all over the emperor and ghosts are rampant. I am a good person, but I only follow the will of heaven, raise troops to clear the side, take the position of Duke of Jiguo, go to heaven, and learn from my heart!"
After reading the sacrifice, I performed the three kneelings and nine kowtows to the heavens. When the ceremony was completed, I was suddenly shocked. An unknown heart gradually spread and my face became pale.
The officials below didn't know the inside story and all knelt down to salute.
Qi Xuanshan·Dao Temple
A flash of lightning flashed in the Taoist temple, illuminating the world in an instant, and the rain crackled down. In the small hall, the blind Taoist sat upright in the darkness and suddenly stood up: "It's done!"
A dragon roar sounded at the anchor on the divine position. As the dragon roar sounded, a faint red and yellow mixed black gas dragon appeared. As it appeared, the anchor lit up a red light and some strange runes lit up.
Under the red light, the cracks in the anchor were gradually repaired. The blind Taoist felt that his body relaxed, and the dry white turned black, and the skin of the age spots gradually moistened.
After a long time, the anchor stopped and a talisman appeared. The blind Taoist chanted a spell at the talisman, "Boom", and it lit up in an instant, piercing through the void.
The distant void and the world
The sky was blood red, clouds were burning constantly, black lightning rushed through the dark clouds, "booming" a huge meteorite fell in the sky, splashing dust, knocking the fire clouds in the sky open a cave. At the entrance, unfathomable darkness, stars, and countless debris can be seen.
Meteorites fell one after another in the sky, instantly smashing clouds with holes. The earth was full of cracks, flames everywhere, and huge craters full of life seemed to have no living creatures.
"Demon Army, Demon Army!"
A huge, towering into the clouds, shining with dark metal light. There was only one dark giant on the altar. The giant had three heads, and the clouds were flowing in its hollow eyes, but it was full of three sides.
Suddenly, the three-headed giant moved, holding a long chain in his hand. The huge iron chain spread out into the void and extended to an invisible place.
"I've taken the bait and found my place." The three giants laughed, and six rows of sharp teeth showed their eyes. With the laughter, dark clouds in the world gathered.
"Boom" a meteorite hit the giant. The giant swayed slightly, and black air filled his body, and he roared at it: "Sacrifice, sacrifice!"
A mysterious ripples spread out.
The flames and cracked earth were shaking, and monsters of different shapes continued to emerge from the ground. Looking around, the original desolate land instantly turned into a monster paradise.
The giant opened its mouth and started to chant, and the demon army's eyes turned red, and the tide continued to flow like a tide, moving along the prescribed road.
The altar is getting closer and closer, and is getting bigger and bigger, at least three hundred feet. The altar is lit with dark red blood light, hundreds of black shadows flying and falling on the altar, and they are seen that these black shadows are not humans.
The body is much thicker than that of humans, and there is no particular difference in body shape, except that some have scales, some have curved corners, some have big tails, and have wings. The difference between them and monsters below is that they are more human-shaped and intelligent.
"Only by offering sacrifices can you open the door to other worlds!" The three giants shook, and the hundreds of black shadows immediately understood the meaning.
On the altar, a huge force gradually formed. Those monsters with distorted shapes, snake body, human head, tiger head, pig body, etc., seemed to be forcibly pieced together, with traces of patchwork on their bodies. Many bloodstains fell when they were moving, and four stone levels at the altar were rushing to run forward.
When he stepped on the altar, a red light enveloped the monster. The monster seemed to be crying happily in the paradise, and its body exploded, turning into blood mist and pouring into the center of the altar.
The monster behind them was not afraid and rushed forward and continued to explode and turned into blood mist. A thick pool of water was accumulated in the blood pond in the center of the altar.
The three giants placed the chains on their hands on the altar before they put them on. The chains continued to grow roots, densely black, sucking the pool of blood flowing out of the monster.
The chains vibrated, as if they had pulled the heavy object, and red lights continued to pass into the void.
Qi Xuanmen·Dao Temple
"Ka" The blind Taoist looked up and the anchor seemed to hook something, and he felt the world tremble.
"Boom"
"It's an earthquake, it's not good, it's an earthquake." A voice came from outside, and the surveillance warrior shouted loudly and hurriedly avoided the open space.
The blind Taoist had no time to think about it, and saw a red and black gas coming out from the anchor, rising and scattering in the sky.
"Is this the essence?" The blind Taoist reached out and touched it, but couldn't touch it: "Why does so much essence appear and disperse it?"
The blind Taoist was moved and ran out of the hall and looked into the sky.
I saw a strange scene appearing in the sky. On one side, the sky is thick and the clouds are like ink, and thunder is faintly heard, while on the other side, the sky is bright and the golden light is sprinkling.
A gust of wind blew over, and the thunder sounded "swish", and the raindrops swept over and stopped again. The blind Taoist shook his mind and realized that this scene was not a dream. This person was meditating on the secrets of heaven and faintly felt the change, and he was surprised in his heart.
Pei Ziyun took a boat south all the way, which was the fastest way.
Hundreds of water boats were continuous for more than ten miles. At this time, they temporarily stopped at the dock of a county along the way, a restaurant. It was rare to be clear, the sky was untainted by the blue sky, and the river was wide and wide. Looking through the window, the road was already dyed green. Pei Ziyun smiled and said to an official: "Please tea, I wanted to talk for a while, but you are the prefect, so you can only go back for a while, just talk about it."
After saying that, sit upright.
Chapter completed!
