Four people, three men and one woman.
Two people from Qi State, Peng Nannan and Sheng Fang.
Both of them practiced the art of swordsmanship. In Qi State, swordsmanship was the strongest method in the country.
Among the countries, it is also recognized that Qi's sword skills are the strongest.
On the Yan side, Gong Ze and Pei Sulan.
What should be practiced is the method of literati.
Dean Tianyi naturally wanted Shen Han to know himself and the enemy so that he could deal with it with ease.
But people of Shen Han's age rarely left the country before, making it even harder for him to show his strength.
For these younger generations, the information that can be obtained is really limited.
Dean Tianyi and Mr. Zhong Nan can only rely on past experience.
Explain to Shen Han the techniques that Qi and Yan are good at.
The strength of the three countries is almost evenly matched, each with its own merits.
If you want to sort it out.
According to everyone's consistent opinion, Wei is basically the strongest, followed by Qi, and Yan is the weakest among the three kingdoms.
But after a rebellion, Wei's national power declined a lot.
And in the past hundred years, the strength of Wei's younger generation has declined significantly.
The reasons are complicated, but the problem has been put in front of everyone.
In the Ten-Nation Competition four years ago, the Wei Dynasty did not get any benefits.
If it weren't for Shen Ye's sudden success, the Wei Dynasty would have lost even more miserably that year.
This year, Shen Ye did not go to the Ten Nations Competition due to injury.
Shen Han also knew that although he had a bad relationship with Shen Ye, he had a bad relationship with the Shen family.
But his performance will definitely be compared with Shen Ye.
If he performs poorly, perhaps all the bits of reputation he has accumulated in the past will disappear.
The Ten Kingdoms Competition is, after all, a foreign war.
No matter how they share the same hatred and hatred, the people of the Wei Dynasty are always united and outward-looking.
In the competition, he defeated Su Jinyu and Chen Ye's clone.
The performance of the nineteen-year-old is amazing and brilliant.
But if it performs poorly when playing against other countries.
By then, I'm afraid I will be drowned in saliva.
Of course, there are risks ahead.
If you perform extremely well, fame, fortune, and fortune will all come to you.
Shen Han was not too demanding about these.
But if he returns victorious, according to what Prince Qingyuan said, he can then try to compete for the title of Shen family.
Shen Han was still slightly interested in this title.
The Shen family had brought him so much trouble, and Shen Ye even wanted to kill himself.
In this case, Shen Ye has always wanted the title and the inheritance of the Shen family.
I just want to have a good fight with him.
Two days passed.
On the east side of the capital, there is the Temple of Heaven.
This is a place for sacrifices and prayers to heaven.
Major matters of the country must be addressed to heaven.
Pray to heaven for its will, carry out heaven's will, and prosper the affairs of the Wei Dynasty.
Every major event involves the step of offering sacrifices and praying to heaven.
In the Wei Dynasty, many people actually valued this providence.
Over the past few hundred years, praying to heaven has indeed led to several major events.
The sayings about the destiny of a country and the destiny of people were also widely spread in the Wei Dynasty.
Therefore, many people really value the results of praying to heaven this time.
Shen Han followed Dean Tianyi and followed the crowd to the sacrificial altar.
There was still a long way to go before the sacrificial altar, but the Imperial Guard had already taken over.
The crowd began to be divided.
Ordinary people in Beijing were led to a slightly distant position to watch.
People of certain status are naturally given preferential treatment and can stand closer.
The entire sacrificial altar is surrounded by a raised terrain in the middle.
When performing the ritual of praying to heaven, due to the terrain, everyone else will stand lower than the person in the center of the sacrifice.
This shows the dignity of the sacrificial ceremony.
The auspicious times for sacrifices are the four hours from Si Shi to Shen Shi.
The people who came here to watch the ceremony seemed to understand this.
It was almost time, and everyone began to fall silent.
Shen Han stood among the crowd, tilting his head slightly to watch.
Everywhere in the surrounding scenery is full of solemnity.
The important ministers in the court were already standing in front of the altar at this moment.
This time of offering sacrifices and praying to heaven was mainly to pray for Shen Han and others who were participating in the Ten Kingdoms Competition.
Naturally, Shen Han also followed Dean Tianyi to the front.
When the time comes, the ritual music of sacrifice begins.
A group of people dressed in ritual attire, playing ritual music, slowly passed through the road.
The sound of ritual music lingers.
At the same time, an old man, dressed in more luxurious sacrificial attire, held a golden scepter in his hand.
The old man seemed to be staggering, but his whole body was full of majesty.
Walking to the center of the altar, the golden scepter suddenly inserted into the square tripod.
Then he spoke plausibly, as if he was really chanting the words to call the gods.
Beside them, the ritual and music procession became louder and louder, and the tunes became faster and faster.
The old man is the minister of Yingtian in the Wei Dynasty, a person who inherits the will of heaven.
It was Shen Han's first time to participate in this kind of sacrificial ceremony, and his eyes wandered around a little.
At this moment, I saw some people I didn't want to see.
Not far away on the west side, two masters and apprentices, Luo Zuchen and Shen Ye, were standing there.
As if aware that he was looking at him, Luo Zuchen also squinted his eyes slightly and looked at him.
There was a ferocious look in his eyes, and he seemed to have the power to kill someone.
If other people saw this, their momentum would have already weakened.
But Shen Han didn't care about this and just looked at him.
No matter how fierce he is, I am still as calm as before, not afraid of him at all.
If you think about it carefully, Luo Zuchen has taken action against him so many times.
It was only the first time that he attacked me secretly, causing me some injuries.
Later, he tried to assassinate himself with one blow, and wanted to take his life away in his incarnation.
But once again he succeeded.
Therefore, why should I be afraid of him?
Seeing Shen Han looking at him brazenly, Luo Zuchen's eyes suddenly revealed a smile.
I don’t know what this smile means.
Shen Han is already immune to these.
In front of the sacrificial altar, the old man kept circling the golden scepter.
The words that came out of his mouth never stopped.
It seems that he really has a posture of praying to heaven.
And following the old man's words, mysterious visions began to appear in the sky.
It seems that three auspicious clouds have fallen over the sacrificial altar.
Three colors: red, yellow and purple.
Xiangyun followed the old man's words and seemed to really hear his call, and began to flow gradually.
There were many people watching around with expressions of reverence on their faces, as if they had really seen a miracle.
About half an hour later, the old man finally stopped.
With a solemn expression, he pointed at the scepter in front of him.
A loud voice: "Please offer sacrifices to the heaven!"
The old man's voice was extremely long, and his words were full of solemnity.
Shen Han looked towards the center of the sacrificial altar.
After a moment, the high-ranking saint stepped out.
This was Shen Han's first time meeting this holy king.
Somewhat different from what I imagined, this Great Wei Sage seemed to be
There is also some kindness.
This was indeed Shen Han's first impression. There was a faint smile on his slightly older face, not harsh.
Other people of the Wei Dynasty should also feel that he has a touch of kindness when they look at him.
Rumor has it that he is old.
But from what I can see in front of me, it seems that my life is still very long.
The saint just twisted the golden scepter on the altar.
Then the auspicious clouds in the sky changed, and the three-color auspicious clouds intertwined together, which seemed to be showing some kind of sign.
Shen Han also felt that it was mysterious, but he didn't believe that it was God's will.
Thinking about it, it should be a vision summoned by some method.
After a while, something was offered and thrown into the cauldron.
"Sacrifice, worship!"
With a loud shout, everyone responded with courtesy.
About a quarter of an hour later, Minister Na Yingtian spoke again.
"Pray to heaven for the blessings of the Wei Dynasty.
Praying for God’s will, get up! "
The sacrificial ceremony has ended, and the next step is to pray to heaven.
Praying to heaven means to deduce and pray for blessings.
It is equivalent to a prediction before departure to pray for blessings.
Behind him, Dean Tianyi patted Shen Han's shoulder gently.
Shen Han also understood and stepped forward.
Twelve people stepped forward from the surroundings and walked to the altar of sacrifice.
At this moment, these twelve people are the absolute protagonists, enjoying the attention of countless people.
Shen Han glanced at the others.
There didn't seem to be anyone he knew. It was probably the first time for him to meet the other eleven people.
"Inherit the great fortune of heaven, overcome the waves of the world, and strengthen Wei's prestige!
Pray to heaven for good luck! "
The old man's aging face showed a sense of majesty.
He took out the golden scepter in his hand and pointed it straight at the sky.
Then he spoke plausibly again and kept chanting.
While chanting, he stepped down from the sacrificial altar.
The scepter in his hand began to tap on everyone.
Every time you tap it, the auspicious clouds in the sky will shine and move.
Thinking about it, this should be some kind of auspicious sign.
The prayer ceremony of the first four people seemed to go smoothly.
Until the golden scepter touched Shen Han and tapped it down.
The previous auspicious omen suddenly changed.
The auspicious clouds that were originally sparse in the sky turned dark, like ashes and dust.
Even the plump appearance gradually faded away.
Around the sacrificial altar, the people who had previously been silent now began to whisper to each other.
There was a hint of panic in the eyes looking at Shen Han.
Not only that, the minister Yingtian holding the staff in front of him seemed to change his expression.
Take back the scepter in your hand.
The auspicious clouds in the sky instantly returned to their previous purple aura.
This change in the vision seems to indicate that Shen Han is carrying something ominous.
The entire ritual of praying to heaven came to a standstill at this moment.
Everyone held their breath.
The golden scepter touched Shen Han's body again.
That auspicious cloud was indeed the same as before.
It was originally full of purple auspicious signs, but the moment it came into contact with Shen Han, it became dilapidated and lonely.
The Yingtian minister shook his head solemnly, and the scepter in his hand touched the next person again.
Sure enough, when the scepter touches the next person, it is another auspicious sign.
Shen Han frowned and thought quickly in his mind.
What kind of providence, what kind of luck.
It's just a way for some people to manipulate people's hearts and grasp public opinion.
The minister Yingtian in front of him seemed to be targeting himself intentionally and wanted to turn himself into an ominous person.
It is similar to the Shen family's desire to ruin their reputation.
It seems that it will be even worse when this ominous name falls on him.
You will be ostracized and prejudiced as a matter of course.
While thinking about it, Shen Han's thoughts moved.
