Emperor Chu has a burly figure and a resolute face. He is dressed in a black robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns, highlighting his arrogance. The nine-bead imperial crown on his head shows his supreme authority.
Followed by Emperor Chu was a young and beautiful woman wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei. Her footsteps were half a step behind Emperor Chu. Just following, her every move, every gesture and every smile showed elegance and grace.
This woman is the queen of Chu State today.
She is not a disciple of the five families and seven sects of Chu State, the family she belongs to is just a small and unknown family in the eighteen states of Chu State's imperial power.
In the early years, after she became a queen, she also wanted to support the rise of her family and make her family the "New Five Great Families" of Chu State.
However, she still underestimated the power and means of the "five major families" in the imperial capital today. As soon as she had this idea, the five major families immediately countered.
Later, although I don't know what happened, the family of the queen was almost slaughtered, and only a few seed warriors were left to survive.
If it wasn't for the queen, I'm afraid these seed warriors would all be slaughtered.
After that incident, the empress has been unhappy, not caring about the hegemony at home and abroad, and practicing in the palace all day long.
It is said thatthe Queen's cultivation level is already comparable to that of the Emperor Chu, but no one has seen the Queen make a move for many years, so they don't know her specific strength.
During this period of time, the empress was making breakthroughs in seclusion. If it hadn't been for the birthday of Emperor Chu, she might not have left the seclusion.
Behind the Emperor Chu and the Empress, there are the two most powerful princes in the royal family of Chu State today, namely the third prince and His Royal Highness Chen Wang.
Emperor Chu had many children in his life, and there were not a few princes and queens who participated in this birthday festival, there were more than 30 people.
However, only the third prince and His Royal Highness Chen Wang are the closest princes to Emperor Chu, which also means that they are the closest to the throne!
The rest of the princes and princes followed behind the third prince and His Royal Highness Chen Wang, walking silently without saying a word.
Behind many princes and princesses, there are royal family members, such as Prince Mo and Prince Su who have participated in the investigation of the death of the first prince and the second prince.
King Liang, with his eldest son Chu Zimo, two princesses Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue, also followed in the ranks of the royal clan.
Most of these "princes" are brothers of Emperor Chu, and their power inside and outside the court is not in vain.
Under the leadership of Emperor Chu, the queen, the princes, the royal family members, and more than a hundred royal warriors walked up to the Tiandao platform in a mighty manner.
At this moment.
The world is silent.
There is a faint oppressive force lingering in the place of offering sacrifices to heaven, making all the warriors present feel as if a huge rock is pressing on their hearts, and they have to be careful even when speaking and looking.
"Play music!"
"Sacrifice to heaven!"
The eunuch "Your Eunuch" next to Emperor Chu shouted loudly the moment he saw Emperor Chu's foot stepping on the Heavenly Dao Platform.
The line of musicians who had been waiting around the square for a long time began to sing the ceremony and music for offering sacrifices to heaven.
The melodious and melodious melody is mixed with the heavy feeling of years and history, echoing between the heaven and the earth, and echoing in the ears of all warriors.
From this heavy sound of ritual and music, it seems that people can see the 300,000 years of Chu State, how he has grown from an unknown country to the overlord who is in charge of the Eastern Demon Realm.
Accompanied by the sound of rites and music, Emperor Chu walked up to the Tiandao platform step by step, and came to the altar; the queen stood beside him quietly and gracefully.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang and the third prince stood respectfully and solemnly.
The rest of the princes and royal family members did not climb up to the Tiandaotai, but stood around the Tiandaotai, looking up at the Tiandaotai.
Emperor Chu stood upright in front of the altar on the Tiandao Terrace with his head held high, his hands behind his back, and he looked up at the sky.
"Your Majesty, please" Your eunuch prepared the incense sticks and respectfully sent them to Emperor Chu.
Emperor Chu held the incense sticks tightly in his hands, looked up at the sky, with a very serious and respectful expression, and said in a deep voice: "I, Chu Liang, the forty-second emperor of the Chu Kingdom, burn a stick of incense today, to tell the Lord of Heaven, and hope to bless Chu! The country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and the Chu family will live forever."
After Emperor Chu finished speaking, he put the incense stick in his hand into the purple gold incense burner in front of him.
"Your Majesty, please" Your father-in-law immediately sent a second injection of incense sticks.
Emperor Chu took the incense sticks and said solemnly, "I, Chu Liang, the forty-second emperor of the Chu Kingdom, burns a stick of incense today, respecting the earth mother, and looking forward to the earth mother's protection."?, the people of Chu State are like dragons, and the territory of Chu State is as solid as gold. "
After finishing speaking, Emperor Chu inserted the incense stick into the incense burner again.
"Your Majesty, please" Your father-in-law immediately sent the third injection of incense sticks.
After Emperor Chu took it, he said meticulously: "I, Chu Liang, the forty-second emperor of the Chu Kingdom, burn a stick of incense today, and pray to the Heavenly Dao, and hope that the Heavenly Dao will bless you"
Next, is the process of offering sacrifices to the heavens of Emperor Chu.
Starting from offering sacrifices to the heavenly father and the earthly mother, to the way of heaven, the sun, the moon, and the stars, the nine heavens, ten earths, and eight directions Lin Bai has seen the cumbersome process of offering sacrifices to heaven in Chu.
Lin Bai really wanted to know In the world of martial arts, is this kind of sacrifice really useful?
Whether it is offering sacrifices to heaven or ancestors, there are many in the mortal dynasty. They have not mastered the method of martial arts cultivation, and they are particularly afraid of unknown creatures.
If a Taiyi Daoguo realm warrior like Lin Bai went to a mortal dynasty and showed the ability of "flying to the sky" at will, he would immediately be worshiped as a god.
But in the world of martial arts, powerful fighters are enough to pursue the stars and the moon, and move mountains to fill the sea. In a sense, these fighters are like gods.
A martial artist at Emperor Chu's level, except that he has not broken the shackles of life and death for the time being, his cultivation and strength are almost equal to gods.
So is this kind of sacrifice still meaningful?
But what happened next shocked Lin Bai.
Following Emperor Chu inserting sticks of sticks of incense sticks into the purple gold incense burner in front of him, the curling green smoke flew up into the sky, and a burst of purple air suddenly appeared in the sky above the Tiandao Platform.
"The purple air is coming from the east"
Many people noticed the vision above the Tiandaotai, and looked up one after another.
As Emperor Chu inserted more incense sticks into the purple-gold incense burner, more and more purple air gathered over the Tiandaotai.
Gradually the wisp of purple air from the beginning turned into a purple cloud covering the sky and covering the sky of Chu State.
At this moment.
Many warriors inside and outside the imperial capital looked up to the direction of the imperial city, and saw the majestic purple air gradually spreading out from the imperial city.
Everyone watched the expansion of the purple air, until the purple air expanded to a full 80,000 miles, and then suddenly stopped.
And Emperor Chu also inserted the last stick of incense into the purple gold incense burner, and looked up at the 80,000 miles of purple air above his head.
"hehe."
In the imperial capital, a storyteller at a wonton stand looked up at Ziqi in the direction of the imperial city, "Ziqi is eighty thousand miles away, the imperial aura of the Chu royal family is really extraordinary, no doubt it is Chu who is protected by heaven. royal family."
After the storyteller muttered a few words, he put down the spoon of wonton soup brought to his mouth, frowned, and whispered strangely: "That's not right, Chu Liang is not a wise king, right? During the ten thousand years of the emperor, Chu was turbulent at home and abroad, how could there be such a good national fortune?"
"Hissstrange, strange, really strange"
After the storyteller muttered a few words, he ate the cold wontons into his mouth.
