Purple Mountain is located in the east of Shenjing City.
The distance is not far, but it cannot be said to be too close, probably about ten miles or so.
This was originally a garrison barracks, and usually there were at least 100,000 forbidden troops on standby. The area was naturally wide, and the ground was also very flat.
Because it is considered a military camp, there are not many people who dare to wander around here on weekdays, but today, it is different. If you look at it from a high place, it is basically a dark place.
There were over ten thousand people, covering the sky and the sun.
This is on flat ground, but if you stand on a high place and still see endless sight, then the number of people is more than just over 10,000.
Three hundred thousand elite Imperial Guards were divided into four directions and formed a military formation.
In addition, there are more people in the capital and nearby areas, as well as those martial artists.
The Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is undoubtedly a grand event for many ordinary people. In fact, except for those knowledgeable and martial arts warriors who criticize Jingtai verbally and writingly.
Many people don't think so.
Because, for such a grand event, the emperor would usually grant a general amnesty, which would not be comparable to the whole world, but at least the people in the capital and Zhongzhou would still be able to get some benefits.
Otherwise, why would outsiders rush to get a household registration in the capital?
Someone once joked that the dogs in the capital lived better than the people in other state capitals.
This sentence is biased, but it also proves something.
Therefore, the people in the capital are really good.
Even though the Sima family's reputation in the world is not very good among other state capitals, in Zhongzhou, it is still widely popular.
Therefore, many people have smiles on their faces.
I feel like I can witness a grand event.
The predecessor of Purple Mountain was Baizhang Mountain. Its name was very ordinary, and the mountain was also very ordinary. It was only a few hundred meters high in total, so it was naturally not much grander.
But that was before, and now...
After the court's rest and reorganization, Baizhang Mountain has changed greatly.
A mountain peak that was originally bare is now covered with green. For those beings who are like gods and immortals, this method is very easy.
Yes, even in this autumn wind and the approaching winter season, the mountain can still be lush and green.
In addition to the greenery, there is also a staircase extending to the top of the mountain, which was just built and covered with various mysterious lines.
As if it symbolizes something.
As for the actual top of Baizhang Mountain, it has been flattened, opening up a platform more than ten feet wide, and on the platform, there is a giant cauldron standing.
The huge cauldron was several feet high, and its entire body was like ink. The walls of the cauldron were also engraved with divine patterns, as well as several divine beasts such as the Azure Dragon, Xuanwu, Suzaku, Xuanwu Qilin and so on.
The origin of this tripod is also very extraordinary. There are rumors that it is one of the nine tripods left by Emperor Wu to suppress the nine states in the Central Plains. Some people say that it is the divine tripod imitated by Taizu of Chu.
It is a ritual vessel specially used to worship heaven and pray.
But these rumors are always rumors, and there is no definite conclusion. The only certainty is that Jingtai wanted to completely imitate the legendary Chu Taizu in worshiping his ancestors.
This is true whether it is the various divine patterns of heaven and earth passed down from ancient books or the giant cauldron.
Many common people and warriors looked at the giant cauldron with admiration, yearning, and anger in their eyes. It could be described as very complicated.
Many Jianghu people, before coming to the capital, claimed that they wanted to mess with the giant cauldron and disrupt the heaven-sacrifice ceremony in Jingtai.
But when he came to the vicinity of Purple Mountain and saw the black-armored sergeant who could not see the end of the mountain, he immediately restrained his thoughts.
Instead, watch the ceremony....
What is the concept of three hundred thousand elite forbidden troops?
Even if it is not as powerful as the Beiliang Army, the most powerful army in the world, once the battle formation is completed, who among the immortals would dare to try their hand at resisting an army of hundreds of thousands with their own strength?
At least, 99% of the people present didn’t dare.
In addition to being wary of these elite soldiers, they were also wary of the patrol guards who wore black cloud uniforms and had wild goose feather swords on their waists like stakes, as well as the powerful men of the imperial court.
Today, on the bright side alone, there are four great true kings and more than a dozen Huayang true kings sitting in charge.
Even a single immortal sect is absolutely not qualified to shake such imperial power.
The imperial court is very weak, but that is compared with the entire world. Not to mention the imperial court, can even the Northern Barbarian Royal Court and the Southern Xinjiang Monster Clan really overwhelm the Central Plains world?
Therefore, the strength of the imperial court is not weak at all. If the two kings of the north and the south join sincerely, it will actually be stronger.
Facing the gaze of such a powerful imperial court, many people's original enthusiasm has dissipated. They feel that with their small arms and legs, they can just watch the excitement.
If you really go up there, you will definitely end up dead without a whole body.
There are actually more than a million people gathered near Purple Mountain. If you listen quietly, you will only feel an annoying buzzing in your ears.
But no one really yelled into silence.
There are no warriors in the martial arts world, and no one in the imperial court.
It seems that everyone is quietly waiting for a certain moment to arrive.
The 300,000 forbidden troops were on the outermost side, as if they were guarding the door, or trying to catch turtles in a urn against the people inside. They basically locked the area tightly.
The second level is where most of the people are. In fact, the Purple Mountain is already a bit far away from here, but it can still be seen clearly.
Even though the ceremony hasn't started yet, there are still people standing on tiptoes to watch.
The third level consists of the relatively thin martial arts warriors.
Thinness is also relative.
Only those who can enter the martial arts dare to be called Jianghu people.
And compared with hundreds of millions of people, they are far behind.
Therefore, even if the total number of warriors from all parties here is actually only close to 100,000, there are still many people who come from afar to watch the excitement.
Otherwise, it would just be less.
As for how many ulterior motives there are, it is unknown.
At least, Chen Yuan, Jiang He, Lingxu and others are among this group.
They did not release their spiritual thoughts to investigate, because this would reveal their identity. Correspondingly, the other powerful people from all sides did not use their spiritual thoughts to scan stupidly.
On the fourth floor are the military guards of the Tianxian Division, who basically stand in a line, isolating the nobles on the third and fifth floors.
Here are the civil and military officials and family records of the court, as well as the harem concubines, the royal family, and some strong men from the Ministry of Rites.
Well, in front of them is a huge musical instrument that looks like a bull's horn.
The sun rises higher and higher, but because it is autumn, it is not really hot, and no one is impatient, waiting quietly for the emperor's arrival.
"It's almost time..."
Taoist Lingxu suddenly spoke.
"It seems that there are many records in Shushan."
Old Taoist Tianxu on the side smiled.
At the first meeting, he had already recognized the identity of Taoist Lingxu. It was not because the two parties had interacted with each other, but because there were rumors in the world that Shushan had formed an alliance with Taoist Palace.
Apart from Jiang He, none other than Shushan possesses such sword intent.
"It seems that Taixu Palace doesn't exist?"
They are both immortal sects, and even though Taixu Palace has been hidden from the world for many years, they still have some background.
They are also aware of the current arrangement.
The reason why the Immortal Sect is called the Immortal Sect is that in addition to its unparalleled strength, it also has a millennium of inheritance. They are all Taoist traditions that have been established since the Chu Dynasty or before.
Naturally, there are records of the time when Taizu of Chu worshiped heaven and ascended to the throne of human emperor.
"Taixu Palace...is in a state of decline."
Old Taoist Tianxu sighed.
If he hadn't been down and out, how could he have joined the world and bet on Chen Yuan?
He just wanted to use Chen Yuan's style to revitalize the sect.
"There are still three nails in the broken ship. Taoist priest Tianxu is serious." Chen Yuan agreed.
"That's not a compliment."
"I'll just help you patch it up from now on."
"You are calm and collected."
Taoist Tianxu looked at Chen Yuan's expression and slowly shook his head.
"The matter has come to this, what's the point of worrying anymore? I will definitely kill Jingtai, and I will destroy the imperial court. No matter how many arrangements Jingtai has, it will be of no use against the world's heroes."
Chen Yuan indeed thought so. He was very solemn when facing Jingtai, but he never panicked. After all, Jingtai really had the power to push through everything.
It’s not like the current world is like this.
As long as the heroes from all over the world swarm forward, an army of hundreds of thousands, under the many Yang Shen True Monarchs, will be just ants and nothing.
Today, although he didn't feel any breath, he could be sure.
There are definitely a lot of strong people coming today!
It's quite a bit like the 18th princes attacking Dong Zhuo.
However, the premise is that they dare to go out and take action.
If you are all thinking of reaping the benefits, it is actually of no use.
Therefore, it is actually not an easy task to get those strong people to take action.
First of all, you have to show your strength!
Give people hope.
"That's true."
Ling Xu smiled.
The arrangement of the imperial court is very deep, but they are not just for a living.
Dao Shen Palace, Taixu Palace, and Shushan Immortal Sect joined forces, and the number of True Lords dispatched exceeded one palm, which was almost comparable to the previous battle.
As long as other forces take action, there really is no suspense today.
Jiang He was also beside the three of them, but he didn't say a word. He just looked quietly at the deepest area, where Li Hongshuang was.
Next to him sat Li Kuangxiu.
Taoist Tianxu raised his head and glanced at the sun again, and said softly:
"coming!"
coming!
It’s really here!
From the direction of the capital, a golden glow shrouded the area without concealment. Many people subconsciously looked up and saw nine divine beasts pulling a dragon.
There are real dragons and phoenixes, white tigers and unicorns, golden cranes and white deer...
And for such a miracle, for the people below who have little knowledge, they naturally admire it extremely, and their eyes are filled with a look of reverence for gods.
Tiger!
Tiger!
Tiger!
The 300,000 forbidden troops roared at the same time, as if they had been rehearsed in advance, and the sound was shocking!
Many of the people on the outside even knelt down and shouted long live the emperor.
But for the martial arts experts on the third level, there is no feeling.
Not to mention the real master of the fifth realm, even the master of the alchemy realm of the fourth realm can achieve similar means, although it cannot be as precise.
But they can still see the essence through the phenomenon.
Those various divine beasts are completely controlled by the gathering of the vitality of heaven and earth.
"hehe...."
Taoist Tianxu suddenly smiled.
Chen Yuan on the side responded as if he was following suit:
"Why is Taoist Master laughing?"
"According to ancient books, when Taizu of the former Chu Dynasty sacrificed to heaven, the mythical beasts he pulled out to chase away were all real. This Jingtai really imitated them in a decent way. It's interesting..."
There are definitely mythical beasts in the world.
Although Chen Yuan has never seen anything else, the fire unicorn under the Tangshan Buddha is one of the proofs, but such existence has become increasingly difficult to find.
Chen Yuan's ability to find the Fire Qilin was also due to the Altar of Luck.
Even if Jingtai wanted to find it, he couldn't.
Of course, he probably doesn't have the strength to subdue the beast.
All divine beasts are not weak in strength. Chu Taizu first became a Martial God, and then became a Human Emperor. His own strength has already reached the realm of immortal gods, and his strength is outstanding.
Where is Jingtai?
At least when he didn't turn the power of incense into his own body, on the surface, he was just practicing Tiandan.
"It's indeed interesting, just wait and see."
Chen Yuan didn't have much idea, he just agreed casually.
The dragon flew across the sky, bringing up a sky-covering brilliance, and gradually fell from the void to the foot of the Purple Mountain steps.
"See Your Majesty!"
The closest civil and military officials, noble family members, harem concubines, and royal family members, including Li Kuangxiu, Gu Tianqiong, and Sima Che, all knelt on the ground.
They didn't have to kneel originally, but this was not an ordinary occasion. They had to kneel before the emperor offered sacrifices to heaven.
"See Your Majesty!"
The Tianxiansi Wuwei who isolated the third floor were all kneeling on one knee at this moment.
"See Your Majesty!"
Most of the people on the fourth floor began to kneel down, and there were only a few who did not.
As for the warriors on the third level, none of them knelt down!
Some people were intimidated by Jingtai's momentum and wanted to kneel down, but seeing that no one around them was kneeling, they still did not lose face and knelt down to Jingtai.
I used to call people dog emperor, but now I kneel down and call myself a minister. Wouldn’t I be ridiculed by others in the future?
Anyway, if everyone doesn’t kneel, then I won’t kneel either.
This is what many people think.
"See Your Majesty!"
No one on the third floor knelt down, but the 300,000 forbidden troops on the outermost side all hammered their chests with their hands and shouted.
I have a stomach and armor, so it is inconvenient for me to kneel down.
But it can be considered as a bow.
After everyone shouted, they shouted again:
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
Jingtai wore a bright yellow dragon robe, looked forward, and said in a deep voice:
"Flat body!
! "
Its sound is so powerful that it spreads all over the place.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After thanking the emperor, everyone began to stand up.
As for the martial arts warriors on the third floor, no one looked at them, and no one scolded them, not even Jingtai himself. He just glanced at them, then waved his dragon robe, and the surrounding mythical beasts disappeared into the world.
Then, Jingtai turned around and stepped onto the steps to the top of Zijin Mountain with a solemn expression.
As soon as I stepped on it, there was a mighty divine voice and shining light.
It's like a ladder leading to heaven.
Every time he takes a step, a light will light up, and at the same time, the light behind him will not dissipate.
Looking from a distance, it really seems like you are ascending to an immortal.
And the people below understood.
It turns out that the formation patterns carved on the steps actually have this effect!
To put it simply...pretend...than...
"Fancy."
Jiang He, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
Chen Yuan shook his head and retorted:
"That's the effect we want."
If he one day worships heaven and is promoted to human emperor, the scene will probably be even bigger than this. There is no way, what man can refuse such a scene?
He wanted to kill Jingtai, he wanted to kill him very much.
But after Jingtai appeared, he suddenly calmed down and watched the other party's movements quietly.
It can be said that...the murderous intention has temporarily subsided.
"Ah...."
Jiang He curled up the corner of his mouth and chuckled, which seemed to be a bit contemptuous, but he didn't say anything else.
Jingtai's eyes were also very calm. As he stepped onto the high platform step by step, his aura gradually changed. This was not an improvement, but a natural change.
His eyes gradually became serious and profound.
The Human Emperor...is this all?
Overwhelm the world, and all people will surrender.
What he wanted, what he had planned from the beginning, today... is finally about to come true.
The top of the mountain is not high, but it is not low either. At least it will take some time to walk up step by step, and Jingtai's aura is gradually changing in front of everyone.
All the civil and military officials surrendered, and the concubines in the harem surrendered. Li Kuangxiu looked at Gu Tianqiong next to him, and seemed to understand something.
The Road to the Human Emperor.... does seem to have something to it.
No wonder the emperor would rather risk the disapproval of the world to worship heaven at Purple Mountain.
When Jingtai walked up the last step, the aura on his body was as deep as the abyss and the sea. Although his cultivation was still Tiandan, his aura seemed to swallow thousands of miles.
Jingtai stood in front of the giant cauldron and picked up three magical incense sticks from the eucalyptus table prepared beside him. They were specially used to worship ancestors and heaven, and were of high value.
Even just smelling it has the effect of refreshing your mind and calming your mind.
What he held in his hand were three incense sticks as tall as a man and a half.
The value is higher.
Jingtai lit the sacred incense, bowed three times to the giant cauldron, inserted it into the giant cauldron, then turned around, looked down at the millions below, and said loudly:
"The world is in chaos and the people are suffering. The monster tribes in the southern border, the barbarians in the north, the Japanese slaves in the East China Sea, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes are all watching with eagerness and promoting chaos for their own interests.
This is... my fault. "
"It was my failure to protect the world that caused trouble in the world. These days, I have been sleeping hard and night, with fear in my heart, searching hard for a way to save the people of the Central Plains. Now, I have found it.
I pray to heaven and ascend to the throne of Human Emperor, and use the power of Human Emperor to protect all the people of the Jin Dynasty. I know that I have no meritorious deeds, and I do not have the force to dominate the world. It is really difficult for me to conquer the people by occupying the position of Human Emperor.
But this is the only way that can save the people of the Central Plains.
For the sake of hundreds of millions of people in the world, I am willing to accept it even if I am criticized and criticized by others. "
After the words fell, the world became silent.
Jingtai did not stop there. He looked at the tens of thousands of warriors below and said in a deep voice:
"I know that some of you are dissatisfied and even want to cause trouble at this moment and disrupt the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, but for the sake of the people of the world, I will still do this.
If anyone is dissatisfied, you can come forward. Hundreds of millions of people are behind me. I... will take them all! "
There was some commotion among the nearly 100,000 warriors below, and some wanted to step forward to scold them, but seeing that the people around them didn't move, they didn't dare to take the lead.
Jiang He touched the Zhuxian Sword in his hand and prepared to take action directly.
But Chen Yuan patted him on the shoulder.
"Um?"
Jiang He turned his eyes to Chen Yuan, somewhat inquiring.
Chen Yuan smiled indifferently, pointed at Jingtai above and said:
"Don't rush to take action yet, others haven't moved yet."
"Not your style."
Jiang He frowned. He felt that Chen Yuan should be more impulsive than him.
Chen Yuan chuckled and said:
"At this time, it would be a shame not to pretend."
————
Five thousand two, make up a little first.
