Seeing that everyone did not refute and agreed to the regulations of the altar, Yinmu nodded slightly and announced the start of the ceremony.
"Get up!" the ritual officer sang, and Zhonghe Shao music was played on both sides of the altar of heaven and earth.
The eight notes are played repeatedly, and the jade vibrates and the golden sound is heard.
As soon as the sounds of these ancient musical instruments such as chimes and bells sounded, the entire audience fell into silence and a sense of majesty arose spontaneously.
Zhou Bai also entered the venue at this time, wearing a Jiuzhao tiara and a Jiuzhang tiara. This is a formal dress that can only be worn by kings, demonstrating the cultural orthodoxy of Tianxia.
Walking on the road paved with fine loess, millions of eyes converged on Long Shouyuan. Most people would definitely not be able to bear the pressure, but he still kept a calm expression.
In the past and present life, from the forty-sixth year of Xiangxing to the eighth year of Tongzhi, Zhou Bai experienced countless disasters, and his will has been polished to be extremely tenacious, and he has a true heart of a king.
Along the way, the imperial guards of Daxia beat their chests and saluted, the civil and military ministers slowly lowered their heads, and the people gathered in Longshouyuan suppressed their excitement and knelt down to worship...
They are all sincere. In just one year after Zhou Bai came to Liangzhou, all aspects of society have undergone earth-shaking changes. Except for the interests of a few powerful people and the upper class, everyone's life is basically getting better and better.
The heaven and earth altar is getting closer and closer, and the eyes of the people are becoming more and more fanatical.
With the publicity and popularization of science by the Xia Kingdom government, even the seven-year-old Mengtong who had just entered school knew that the stronger the country, the more luck it would bring to the people of Shengdou.
The human destiny and spiritual energy of heaven and earth that the principality and kingdom can attract are not at the same level. After today, Daxia doesn't know how many people will break through the realm.
In this atmosphere, envoys from various countries did not dare to look directly at Zhou Bai and bowed their heads to pay tribute. They began to realize that Xia Gong might really want to take a completely different path.
Looking at all the countries in the world, most of a country's destiny is controlled by the court officials, gentry, and powerful families. Only the Xia Guo can truly benefit the common people.
The promotion of an ordinary principality to a kingdom would at best increase a period of good weather and reduce disasters, but in the case of the Xia Kingdom, it would probably increase the national strength visibly.
"Your Majesty comes on stage to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth!"
Zhou Bai was at the end of the loess road, looking up at the towering Altar of Heaven and Earth. After hearing Yin Mu's slightly trembling voice, he took a deep breath and stepped on his steps to become king.
Climb up to the top step by step, luck will follow, and the dragon and tiger will appear.
When Zhou Bai finally stood at the highest point, the will power of twenty million Daxia subjects gathered together, seeming to be roaring and rolling, the royal aura was exposed and overcame everything, and the purple spirit was abundant.
The decoration on the altar is very simple. There is only a plain bronze cauldron, a sacred table with grains, livestock and other sacrifices on one side, and nothing else.
If it were a sacrifice from another great country, it would at least have the tablets of the gods of many gods on it, as well as the sacrifices of the heavenly beings supporting them.
Only in this way can the destiny of the country be offered up and gain their approval and support.
However, Zhou Bai became king today and only offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, not to heaven.
It's not that he doesn't understand the etiquette and acts arbitrarily, but it happens that he has insight into the truth behind the sacrifice.
Sacrifice is a transaction, a transaction of status and luck.
In the dynasty era, the heaven was high and had the highest power. If the emperor on earth wanted to obtain the orthodox position, he had to sacrifice a lot of luck to the rotating emperor in exchange for the title of emperor.
Otherwise, this means that virtue is not worthy of its place, and the world will not recognize it.
Heaven does not need to interfere too much. It only needs to issue decrees and reprimands in the name of Heaven and exercise authority.
Natural calamities will befall the heaven and earth, cutting off their destiny and causing dragons and snakes in the world to rebel.
Therefore, I have been punished by heaven and have nothing to pray for.
For example, if the Heavenly Court had not made a clear edict to denounce Emperor Daxu Tongzhi, just because he had not been entrusted by the Red Emperor, the three hundred years of history would have been overturned, and now even the Central Region could hardly be saved.
Zhou Bai didn't want to be a puppet of the Five Emperors, and Daxia didn't want to be used as someone's qualifications to attack the Taoist ancestors, but it didn't mean that he couldn't get the right name.
In the final analysis, the Heavenly Court only has the acting authority of part of the Tianyuan World, which does not mean that it is Heaven.
The recognition of the will of heaven and earth itself is far more orthodox than the recognition of the Emperor of Heaven.
At this time of near-unparalleled success, there is no better time than now for a showdown.
Zhou Bai took a deep breath and turned his eyes to the simple cauldron in front of him.
It is said that in the era of the Human Emperor, there was a humanistic artifact, the Shanhe Sheji Ding, whose commander-in-chief Jiuding suppressed the world's destiny. No matter humans, gods, demons or ghosts, they dared not stand up against the Human Emperor.
The bronze cauldron on the altar of heaven and earth is an imitation of the Shanhe Sheji cauldron, a human artifact. Although it is far from the power of the original, it still has some charm.
When the Liangzhou tripod was successfully cast, the Yin Court of Daxia Netherland received support, and the Yin soldiers swept across Liangzhou Netherland and captured more than ten blessed places.
However, the biggest benefit is not that the territory of Yin Ting has expanded, but that the foundation of Yin Ting has become thick again, and it has penetrated deeply into places that were previously unreachable.
The avatar of the God Lord received the fortune fragments from Gu Xia when the foundation of the Yin Court was growing. Most people would certainly not be able to intercept all of them, but the Heavenly Book of Fortune could naturally do so.
It is an inheritance in the long river of time, and any fragment seen is precious.
This imitation of the Shanhe Sheji Tripod was forged by Zhou Bai himself based on inheritance, and it contains a bit of ancient Xia charm.
He walked to the divine case, picked up a handful of straw that had just been harvested in autumn as a kindling, and then lit the huge incense stick inserted in the Sheji tripod.
When the first wisp of incense curled up and flew up, Shao music suddenly stopped, and Zhou Bai bowed to the cauldron and recited the sacrificial inscriptions.
"Zhou Bai, the king of Gu Daxia, kowtowed to the emperor and empress: Since I was born in Pingcang, receiving the destiny of Qianlong, I have inherited the lessons of the past generations, sympathized with the warmth and coldness of all living beings, complied with the weather, appeased the four directions, opened up territories, and never stopped for a moment. However. Xu lost his heavenly virtue, Qingxu tribulations were frequent, and the world was in turmoil. Our Tianyuan world was in an unprecedented predicament. Fortunately, the soldiers used their lives and the people worked together to unify the Liang... Thanks to the blessing of the great fortune of heaven and earth, our land of Great Xia , the grains are ripe and the beasts are prosperous..."
As I recite this, the situation between heaven and earth changes, and the cauldron buzzes.
Is this the induction of heaven and earth?
No, it was the Heavenly Court that was blocked by the Heavenly Membrane that took the lead in sensing. The immortals and gods had already noticed that there was an unruly master in the world, and tried to avoid the Heavenly Court from proclaiming themselves king.
In the early days of the troubled times, it was fine for some human beings not to inherit the fate of the Emperor of Heaven and to establish their own country. Anyway, when the struggle for dragons reaches a certain stage and they feel the difference in destiny and luck, they will still succumb.
Every few thousand years in history, there will always be special cases brought about by the great fortune of humanity. These masters did not have the support behind the Five Meridians of Heaven, but they still managed to dominate the world in the end.
Every few thousand years in history, there will always be special cases brought about by the great fortune of humanity. These masters did not have the support behind the Five Meridians of Heaven, but they still managed to dominate the world in the end.
But no matter how angry the ancestors are, and who have great achievements in the world, when they ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor, they will still respect the Emperor of Heaven and become the Son of Heaven.
Only Zhou Bai showed his ambition nakedly and relied on his own efforts instead of serving heaven.
You must know that in the current Tianyuan Continent, there are still many hidden dragons who have not chosen the imperial line. It coincides with the unprecedented changes in the world, and the will of heaven cannot decide everything.
If Zhou Bai succeeds, will the princes of the world follow suit, and will heaven's control over the human world be on the verge of collapse?
As soon as all the doubts came out, the clouds suddenly covered Longshouyuan, and the world became dark.
Many people were in panic and commotion, not understanding what was happening.
"Follow the plan!"
"Shun Tian obeys the order and overthrows Baoxia!"
"Quick, send the signal!"
In the dark, the entire Xia Kingdom seemed to be targeted from heaven, and the looming Dragon and Tiger Law Network suddenly disappeared.
The enemies of the various countries still don't know where this is. This is the best opportunity to destroy it, prevent Zhou Bai from becoming king, and interrupt Daxia's unstoppable upward trend.
"Xia Gong has been punished by heaven, so he cannot be forced to become king!"
"Sinners who do not sacrifice to heaven deserve to be punished by heaven."
"Kill, restore my beam..." In the dense crowd, hidden secrets from all sides were activated one after another.
Some people are using the banner of Jiuliang. It is obvious that the layout has been planned for a long time and the division is well-known.
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you is their common idea.
To be precise, all external forces, including Daizhou and Qinzhou, small countries that usually dare not act rashly, sent people to participate.
After all, only if the Xia Kingdom, which dominates the northern border, falls, will they have a chance to get a share of the pie. In the end, anyone may replace Xia Kingdom.
The shouts of killing were deafening, Qi and even spells were blooming in every corner, and some people had begun to flee.
Chen Zhongbang, the chief minister of the Xia Kingdom's cabinet, was calm and composed. He did not even look at the elite assassins who were attacking the imperial guard in the distance and trying to kill him. Instead, his eyes were brightly looking at Fangze above the circle.
The lord had already anticipated these chaos.
"According to your Majesty's order, suppress the rebels!" At the right time, Qu Zhi, the commander of the bodyguard and the army, raised his arms and took out the edict he had prepared.
The imperial guards from all the ministries heard the news and quickly formed a trap to kill the enemy. They didn't seem to be caught off guard at all.
At the same time, on the periphery, groups of Taoist officials from Great Xia had already received orders. With solemn expressions, they either mounted dragon horses or took to the air to control flying magic weapons and went to various luck nodes to support them.
“Sect Master, it’s like we are fighting with a heavy burden on our shoulders, our energy is being depleted too quickly!”
"Longshou is not originally part of the core of the city. Why can the Xia Kingdom's Legal Network still restrict us?"
"No, my magic power is lagging..."
These secret agents from all over the world, who were preparing to massacre all around, suddenly found that the feeling of being blessed with good fortune had disappeared.
Instead, there was endless pressure. Some monks raised their heads to check their energy, and they didn’t know when the heavy dragon and tiger luck withstood the dark clouds in the sky.
There was chaos below the altar, but everything was orderly above the altar. These disturbances could not affect the core circle of the sacrificial place at all, let alone the altar.
Zhou Bai recited the sacrificial inscriptions until the last moment. During this period of time, he had already felt the will of the world that pervaded every place in the world.
It was his sacrifice that allowed the will of heaven and earth to block the pressure from heaven. Otherwise, no matter how strong the national destiny of Daxia was, it would not be able to really stop the will of a certain heavenly emperor from coming.
In the past, there were no human masters who imitated ancient books and offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, but they were not children of luck.
"Today, our principality, the Great Xia, is full of good fortune, conquering the princes, and has the aura of a king... I hereby hold a grand ceremony to declare the king, and present jade bis, grains, and three animals and six animals... I hope that heaven and earth will witness that I will be crowned King of Xia, and I will kowtow three times!"
Buzz~
After the ritual recitation was completed, the Shanhe Sheji Cauldron suddenly erupted with bright golden light, soaring straight into the sky.
The appearance of Dingzhou Ding and Liangzhou Ding are shown in sequence on the tripod. The magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers of Daxia is fascinating. Twenty million people seem to have found their home and rush into the tripod crazily.
A nearly four-clawed fish dragon rose into the sky and let out a thundering dragon roar, making all unruly people unbalanced.
Unknowingly, Zhou Bai's body was filled with purple energy, and the throne shaped by luck beneath him gradually took shape.
"Throne form?"
"This is a sign of the blessing of human luck. It is said that those who hold this throne have a half chance of reaching the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan!" Yue Bai, the leader of Tuoyue Sect who came to watch the ceremony, exclaimed in a low voice.
Before the other sects could react, all the elders and disciples of Tuoyue Sect, who had originally planned to see Daxia's trump card, moved out to quell the chaos.
"Hurry, help Master Wang!" The major sects who knew the secret of the throne also took action after hearing the news.
After today, whoever says he is not willing to be a Taoist official is ignoring his future.
Perhaps Daxia's power to suppress the riots is too strong, and order will soon be restored.
It was at this last moment that several powerful Taoist techniques blasted straight towards the altar.
This is the last chance, we can only break up.
No one wants to see a true king born. If Zhou Bai really becomes king, the world will not be able to say anything about it, and there will definitely be no suspense in the north.
Faxiang Daxiu from Jin, Qin, Dai, Ling, Shu and other forces chose to join forces to attack. They did not dare to be arrogant at this time.
For a time, towering giant trees, ferocious white tigers, vast yellow sand... all kinds of phenomena covered the heaven and earth.
