"Masters of the Tianshui Sect, please follow this old slave."
The old eunuch who had previously led everyone from the Tianshui Sect to the heaven-sacrifice place came over with a smile and led Lin Bai and others towards the ancestor-sacrifice place.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Zhang Bailiu smiled and nodded, then followed behind with the sect master Chu Xi and the saint son Lin Bai.
Lin Bai saw other sects and families, also led by eunuchs, walking towards the ancestor worship site.
now.
Almost all the sects and warriors who came to attend the ceremony had strange expressions on their faces.
"What does this mean, Emperor Chu?"
"Ring the bell and drum yourself?"
"This doesn't seem to agree with the ancestral system of Chu, does it?"
Lin Bai looked around and examined the terrain.
Your father-in-law walked out of the ancestral temple and spoke loudly to all the warriors present.
The Emperor of Chu took the Queen, His Royal Highness King Chen, and the three princes into the ancestral temple and left, while the rest of the royal family members stayed at the entrance of the ancestral temple.
In the center of the square, there is a huge light gate about a hundred feet high and ten feet wide.
In this square, there are heavily guarded soldiers standing ready.
"Thank you Emperor Chu."
Sect leader Chu Xi thought carefully for a while, "My father... is indeed a bit mediocre in recent years, but when he was young, he was also a wise king with great talents and great strategies."
Emperor Chu walked out of the ancestral temple at this time, looked around the audience, and said loudly: "Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday. It's getting late now. I have already ordered people to prepare a banquet in the hunting world."
After leaving the Chu State Ancestral Temple, there were deer carts parked on the imperial road outside.
Sect leader Chu Xi and ancestor Zhang Bailiu did not hesitate and walked over.
But Lin Bai still vaguely saw Emperor Chu holding incense sticks in his hand, standing in front of a portrait and offering incense respectfully.
Lin Bai stood in the square and looked towards the ancestral temple. It seemed that there was a vague magic circle separating it, making it impossible for Lin Bai to clearly see the scene inside.
Ancestor Zhang Bailiu nodded slightly, "Then you think... does Emperor Chu have other intentions for doing this?"
But what is different from the Heaven Sacrifice Place is... the center of the Heaven Sacrifice Place is a huge stone platform, while the center of the Ancestor Worship Square is a majestic circular building about a hundred feet high.
"Sect Master." The ancestor Zhang Bailiu asked Chu Xi softly as he walked: "The Emperor of Chu personally struck the bells and drums. Doesn't it seem to be against the ancestral system of Chu?"
The warriors who came to watch the ceremony congratulated each other in unison when they heard the ceremony was completed.
The leader of the clan, Chu Xi, thought about it seriously and smiled awkwardly at Zhang Bai, "Hey, Master, I don't know too much. You know... the daughter's family is not taken seriously in the royal family. There are many ancestral systems, and I
I’ve only heard of it, but don’t know much about it.”
"Congratulations to the Kingdom of Chu for its everlasting longevity."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
"Thank you so much, father-in-law." Zhang Bailiu thanked him and followed the old eunuch to the place where the deer cart was.
"Please wait here."
Although she didn't know much about the ancestral system, she knew Emperor Chu very well.
There is a plaque hanging at the door of the ancestral temple with the words "Eternal Green" written on it.
"Please go to the hunting world for the banquet."
Lin Bai looked calm. In his opinion, since there was no crown prince in Chu State, it was not impossible for the Emperor of Chu to ring the bells and drums himself.
Like the place for worshiping heaven, it is surrounded by a huge square.
The process of celebrating Emperor Chu's birthday is extremely complicated.
Lin Bai nodded in sudden realization.
Although the daughter of the royal family has a low status in the royal family, Chu Xi was once one of the most beloved daughters of Emperor Chu.
I don't want to participate either.
The process of worshiping ancestors and worshiping heaven are extremely complicated. Lin Bai stood in the square and waited for nearly two hours before the worship of ancestors officially ended.
Zhang Bailiu frowned and said: "The entrance to the hunting world is considered the top secret in Chu State, and generally it will not be easily known to others."
"And Emperor Chu and the Queen will pass through the real entrance later and come to the hunting world."
Immediately, the leader of the clan, Chu Xi, thought about it seriously, "But it seems that within the ancestral system of the Chu State, there is indeed no system where the Emperor of Chu personally rings the bells and beats the drums."
At this moment, the light door is open. Through the gap in the light door, you can vaguely see a densely forested mountain range at the other end.
While Lin Bai and the others were walking and chatting, they unknowingly arrived outside the ancestral temple of the Chu royal family.
After the ancestor worship process was completed, Emperor Chu arranged for everyone to go to the hunting world. Lin Bai did not need to follow the entire process for the rest of the process.
Not long after.
The eunuch who led Lin Bai and others took Lin Bai and others outside the ancestral temple, and then ordered everyone to wait here.
"Where is the hunting world?" Lin Bai asked curiously after getting on the deer cart.
"Please follow me." The old eunuch parked the deer cart outside the square, then led Lin Bai and others towards the light door.
When he came to the light gate, the old eunuch walked over without any hesitation.
Many warriors who came to watch the ceremony were thinking in their hearts as they walked.
"Seniors of the Tianshui Sect, please follow me. I will take you on a deer cart to the hunting world." The old eunuch came to find Lin Bai and the Tianshui Sect members.
Other meanings? What does Emperor Chu mean?
Before Emperor Chu led the royal family to the ancestral temple, the warriors inside and outside the ancestral temple square quickly became quiet, their faces serious and respectful.
"Could it be that... Emperor Chu had other intentions for doing this?"
"Sacrifice to the ancestors! End of ceremony!"
Sect leader Chu Xi said to Lin Bai: "According to past rules, a separate transmission channel will be opened for Emperor Chu's birthday to allow all guests attending Emperor Chu's birthday to go to the hunting world."
This is the ancestral temple of the Chu State. Inside it hangs the portraits of the emperors of the Chu State and the spiritual tablets of the emperors of the Chu State.
Chu Xi's words made both Zhang Bailiu and Lin Bai fall into deep thought.
While the old eunuch introduced Lin Bai and others, he led Lin Bai and others towards the light door.
"On the other side of the Light Gate is the 'Pilgrimage Mountain' in the hunting world."
"Sir, this is the light gate to the hunting world."
Everyone present bowed and thanked him.
The deer cart drove in the imperial city for a short time and came to a huge square.
The old eunuch took Lin Bai and others to find the deer cart belonging to the Tianshui Sect. After Lin Bai and others got on the cart, the old eunuch drove the deer cart and left the imperial city in an orderly manner.
This is only a process that Lin Bai needs to participate in, and it has already taken a day. As for other processes, Lin Bai has no right to participate.
"So, I think..." Sect Master Chu Xi said to Lin Bai and Zhang Bailiu seriously, "My father went to ring the bells and drums himself. That definitely has other meanings."
Lin Bai was a little behind and walked in.
The moment he walked through the light curtain, Lin Bai clearly felt a tearing sense of power, as if he had transformed into a world with this step.
soon.
Cross the light gate.
Lin Bai felt a gentle breeze with a primitive and wild atmosphere blowing against his cheek.
