The most important national sacrifice ceremony in Badu for a century is approaching day by day, and all the city walls in the country are getting busy. The main ceremony place is of course in front of the palace in Batu City, and each city wall must hold a ceremony at the same time, and the city lord
Leading the people to accompany the sacrifice, the scene can indeed be called a universal celebration in Bayuan.
Just at this time, a shocking news came from Chiwangqiu. It is said that the leader of the Baisha Sect has ascended to the sky, and Master Xuansha has been released from seclusion and will officially succeed the sect leader. The celebration was held in the Chiwangqiu Sect Dojo.
The date is also the winter solstice this year. Since Chiwangqiu was planning to build branch monasteries in various places some time ago, the news spread quickly throughout Bayuan through the disciples.
Didn't it mean that Master Bai Sha and Lord Xuan Sha would both go into seclusion for ten years before the next leader of Chiwangqiu would officially succeed? Less than half a year has passed, so how come Bai Sha has already ascended to heaven?
This is not what Xuanyuan said, nor what the two elders Liefeng and Zhijie said. The elders of Chiwangqiu just claimed that Bai Sha was no longer alive. Of course, other Chiwangqiu disciples who did not know the inside story could not be like Bai Sha.
Having been beheaded by Huwa, since Bai Sha has become an immortal, they naturally believe that Bai Sha has ascended to heaven, so they publicize this to the outside world.
As for Xingyao, according to his elders, he has decided to follow Bai Sha. Bai Sha has ascended to the sky, how can Xing Yao follow him? Although his cultivation is not weak, he is still far from becoming an immortal.
Oh! There are also some good people who like to inquire about the truth. Some Chiwangqiu disciples explained based on speculation that Xingyao should have closed the barrier of life and death.
The so-called life and death barrier is not a certain state, but a kind of vow. Xingyao should have vowed to follow Bai Sha and either fly to the sky one day, or die in seclusion, in short, he will never appear in the world again.
. This surprised many people, but it was Xingyao's closest confidants who could understand it best. They knew Bai Sha's position in Xingyao's heart, and it was not impossible for Xingyao to make such a decision.
As for the truth and how shocked people were when they heard this, it may not be important. In short, Bai Sha is no longer alive and Xing Yao will not appear again.
Ascension to the sky sounds like a myth and legend from ancient times. Many people had extravagant hopes and imagined whether Chiwangqiu would hold a celebration specifically for Bai Sha's ascension, so that everyone could witness with their own eyes how the immortal family ascended to the sky.
. But the news came so suddenly. Bai Sha didn't even say hello, he had already sneaked up to the sky on his own?
Is it because the cultivation of the Immortal family is mysterious and unknown to the world? Bai Sha originally thought that it would take ten years, but when the opportunity to ascend to heaven really came, even he couldn't control it. That's why this happened
An accident? Many people speculated this way, but this unexpected change also disrupted their original plans.
Even if Baisha has ascended to the sky and the new leader of Chiwangqiu succeeds to the throne, the major forces in Ba Yuan will certainly send envoys to congratulate him and send him gifts. But the date set is too close, and the journey is far away.
It was too late to send people, so we could only make up for the congratulatory gifts afterwards. Moreover, the leaders of the major forces had to go to Batu City to attend the national ceremony. Many of them had already set off on their way. There was no way to rush to Chiwang Hill.
Not to mention the top forces in Bayuan, even ordinary tribal leaders from all over the country are inseparable on the winter solstice. They also have to participate in the national ceremony in each city. This is something that has been decided long ago.
It would be impossible to send the most important person to Chiwangqiu to express his congratulations, otherwise it would not only be a breach of promise, but also disrespect to Bajun and the country of Ba.
If the five kingdoms had not yet been unified and Baisha was still alive, everyone would rather complain to the young minister than offend Chiwangqiu. Perhaps they would rather miss the national ceremony. They would also find a way to get to Chiwangqiu to congratulate them. But now
The situation has changed subtly. Congratulatory gifts must be sent, and congratulatory envoys must of course be sent, but it is hard to say whether they can make it in time for the winter solstice.
Of course, the leaders of the major forces in Bayuan are not fools. They have long heard that the master of ceremonies at the national sacrifice ceremony is Mr. Peng Keng, and Mr. Peng Keng is the husband of Mr. Xuanyuan Sha, the new sect leader of Chiwangqiu. According to what they have long heard,
) If you have a good plan to attend the national ceremony, it cannot be considered as not giving face to Master Xuansha.
The people of the country and the leaders of each tribe decided to participate in the national ceremony as scheduled; and those who rushed to Chiwangqiu to participate in the new sect leader's enthronement ceremony were the senior monks of the major sects.
Why did Xuanyuan make such a decision? Huwa thought it was a good idea? Because this is what a practicing and inheritance sect should look like. In the past, Chiwangqiu controlled by Baisha Xingyao was abnormal. No matter whether Xuanyuan had this ability or not
, she has no intention of becoming another Bai Sha, and the changes in Chiwangqiu began from the day she officially succeeded as the sect leader.
In a sense, it is precisely because of the existence of Xuanyuan that the sect inheritance of Chiwangqiu is preserved, and the peace of the Bai'e clan is protected. Without her, the relationship between Huwa, Baisha, and Xingyao
What situation the conflict will eventually evolve into, and whether it will bring catastrophe to Chiwangqiu and the Bai'e clan, is something that no one can predict.
Xuanyuan hates Bai Sha, otherwise he would not have run away from the mountain in the first place. There are many people in this world who have hated others due to various circumstances, but when they are finally in the same position, they often become what they once hated.
That kind of person. But Xuanyuan doesn't know that. This is the state of mind of a Dacheng monk.
It can be said that in addition to Huwa, Mingsha, Shrike, and Elder, all the famous people in Ba Yuan, as well as unknown masters and monks from various sects, will gather at Chiwang Hill on this winter solstice.
Of course, Shrike and Changling will attend the National Sacrifice Ceremony. These two masters have an extraordinary relationship with Shaowu and the State of Ba. In the years when Huwa was absent, they once replaced Huwa as the officiants at the National Sacrifice Ceremony.
As for Huwa, she is the person who officiates at this ceremony. But Mingsha's identity is very special. She is not only the "holy queen" established by the young minister, but now she has become the god of national sacrifices.
When the young minister sent orders to all the cities to prepare for the national sacrifice ceremony, he issued a royal order. According to the promise of the year, Sha was officially appointed as the god of national sacrifices, ranking after Taihao and before Yan Zhao. In other words, starting from this year's
At the beginning of the national sacrifice ceremony, the Shaowu led the ministers and the people to worship the gods, including Mingsha.
This is something that has never happened before. From a ceremonial point of view, everyone does not know what to do. Because in the previous ceremonies, Shaohao and Yan Zhao were of course unable to be present. In all cases, the king led the crowd to the sky.
But does Mingsha need to be present at this year's ceremony? If she comes, where should she sit?
Is it necessary to invite Mingsha to sit on the altar, leaving corresponding spaces on the left and right to symbolize Taihao and Yanzhao, and then let the young minister lead the ministers and people to kneel down and sacrifice to her? Sacrifice to gods and wine to heaven were originally all
The Master of Ceremonies pours the wine, and then hands it to the King to sprinkle it on the ground. So in this ceremony, will Huwa be asked to pour the wine, and then the Young Minister will kneel down and sacrifice himself while holding the cup?
Ceremonies were extremely important in that era, not to mention the national ceremony. It represented the orthodoxy of etiquette and righteousness. Every detail had a special symbolic meaning and must not be messed with. The person responsible for the ceremony procedures should be the students.
Mr. Peng Keng, the others don’t dare to say anything!
In fact, Shaowu had already been under tremendous pressure when he ordered Sha to be officially appointed as the god of national sacrifices and ranked her before the Salt Omen. Although the title of "Holy Queen" is extremely honorable, it is still in Shaowu's name after all.
He not only worshiped his princess as a god, but also worshiped her in front of his ancestors, which would probably attract endless scolding.
Fortunately, Shaowu's reputation as a wise king had already spread far and wide, and after he unified Ba Yuan, his prestige was even greater, and he could still control the situation. Otherwise, such an order would not be obeyed by all places. The status and cultivation of Mingsha were also
Many people dare to be angry but dare not speak out, but everyone will inevitably criticize in private.
In this case, if the ceremony of this ceremony is improperly designed, even the officials will be stigmatized.
Fortunately, Shao Wu has a good brother Hu Wa, and Hu Wa happens to be the academic director of Ba Guo. Let Hu Wa be responsible for formulating the ceremony of the national memorial ceremony, which also transfers part of the pressure from Shao Wu. This matter is too difficult to handle. If
If the ceremony is designed to make Mingsha dissatisfied, it will offend the god of national sacrifice; but if it blindly involves Mingsha and makes the people dissatisfied, then it will not only offend the king, but also offend all the people in the country.
Nowadays, no one except Huwa can take up this burden. No wonder the young minister insisted that Huwa must serve as the officiant at the national ceremony. No one else can do it, not even a shrike or an old man.
Although Huwa had never been a director of Xuezheng's official office, he was not incapable of becoming an official. His method of handling the problem was very simple. He directly sent Deputy Xuezheng Hougang to Meng Yingqiu to ask Mingsha face to face. What do you want to do? National Sacrifice
The ceremony has been established for hundreds of years, and every procedure of the ceremony is very clear. But this year's such an important ceremony is a little troublesome precisely because you are the god of national sacrifice.
Huwa let Mingsha solve this problem by himself! Only he dared to speak like this.
In terms of identity, Huwa is not afraid of the "Holy Queen" of Mingsha and the name of Meng Yingqiu's clan leader; in terms of cultivation, Huwa has already reached the third level of the ninth realm, and is above Mingsha, so there is no need to be afraid of her; even if she is compared to
In terms of power and influence in the world, today's Huwa is probably not weaker than her, the so-called "God of National Sacrifice".
But the god of national sacrifices that Shaowu worships is Mingsha rather than Huwa. Whether Huwa is willing to be the god of national sacrifices is one thing, but whether he can do it is another matter. For experts,
Generally speaking, you should not only look at the immediate results, but also the original causes.
I think when Mingsha made this request to Houlin, she was already the leader of the Meng Yingqiu clan, and Huwa was just a little kid playing with stones in the wilderness.
But now less than twenty years have passed, and Huwa has already stepped on what the world calls the path to heaven, and Mingsha is still Mingsha. It cannot be said that Mingsha's cultivation has not improved at all, at least he has passed the realm of transformation.
Eighth-level cultivation to nine-level transformation. This is already very good for an expert like her. The path to heaven is extremely difficult, and it is impossible for everyone to be a tiger baby. (~^~) Mobile phone users please visit http
