Chapter 105: Sacrifice to Heaven
With a thunder-like bombing sound that went straight into the sky, the heaven-sacrifice ceremony of all countries in the world officially began. Feng Hao first climbed onto the altar of heaven, holding three sticks of incense in both hands, and Gao Changgong lit it, followed by all the civil and military officials.
Feng Hao knelt down and prayed devoutly facing the altar in front of him.
In fact, Feng Hao only did this to appease the hearts of these people. You must know that modern people never believe that worshiping the sky can bring good harvests or good weather. What he has always believed in is himself. He does not believe in heaven or earth.
Believe that what you are doing is right or wrong.
Everything is possible, and it does not necessarily have to be this way to make the country better. To put it bluntly, the monarch is diligent and hands-on when he is above and does everything for the people; when his ministers are below, he is diligent and does things for the people, so why should the country worry about instability?
Feng Hao, who was kneeling there, recited a prayer in his mouth: "The sky is above, and the earth is below! Today, Feng Hao is here to lead the civil and military officials of the Zhao Kingdom to pay you the highest respect. I wish our Zhao Kingdom good weather.
The harvest is plentiful and the people are happy!……”
After reciting the prayer, Gao Changgong followed the procedure and saw that he should go up and light the three sticks of incense. After taking the stage, Gao Changgong took out the fire stick and lit the incense. The civil and military officials still did not raise their heads and waited until
Feng Hao put the incense into the incense cauldron before getting up.
But the ceremony was not over yet. The Ministry of Rites asked a group of ten alchemists to dance on the stage. They said that in order to satisfy the gods, these people must dance to thank the gods for their gifts. But to be honest, Feng Hao
I have seen this kind of thing a lot, such as dancing, or asking a Feng Shui master to perform on-site practices. Anyway, it is as mysterious as it needs to be.
The alchemists began to dance on the stage for about five minutes under the playing of the drummer of the band. However, Feng Hao watched for a long time and didn't know what they were dancing, so he asked Wang Meng for advice, and Wang Meng said this
It is called Nuo dance, and it is a dance that has always been performed during ancient rituals to worship heaven.
Feng Hao touched the beard on his chin with his right hand and nodded slightly: "No wonder it's so strange... Wait, Nuo dance... I seem to have a little impression of its origin. The ancestors were curious about nature, and nature has
It brought good things to the ancestors, but it may also bring bad things, so Nuo was regarded as worship of nature. Later it developed to the point of belief in totems, worship of it, and then to witchcraft worship.
,right?"
Wang Meng nodded slightly, Feng Hao seemed to know a lot.
However, after the dance, the last ceremony is for the monarch to lead his ministers to kowtow three times to the altar to express gratitude and the highest respect.
Seeing that the ceremony was about to end, Chen Baxian and Xiao Daocheng ordered the artillerymen to load the shells immediately and prepare for the end. After the artillerymen loaded the shells uniformly, when Feng Hao and the officials kowtowed for the third time, they immediately fired the cannon to finish.
"Three kowtows!!!"
After Feng Hao and his officials kowtowed, Chen Baxian and Xiao Daocheng shouted in unison: "Fire the cannon!"
After a while, everyone heard the ordinary thunderous sound of cannon again. Feng Hao was shocked by the sound of the cannon. It took a few seconds to recover. Wang Meng was stunned and rushed to help Feng Hao. Gao Changgong stepped forward.
Come to stabilize Feng Hao. Chen Baxian and Xiao Daocheng didn't know what was going on, so they hurried over to see what was going on.
When they ran to the altar and saw that Feng Hao was stunned by the shock, they quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Did the general startle Your Majesty?"
Wang Meng and Gao Changgong said almost at the same time: "Look at how frightened the king is. Are you shocked?"
Xiao Daocheng stepped forward and looked at Feng Hao's blurred eyes. It seemed that there was only one way to wake him up completely.
When Feng Hao entered a state of confusion, he seemed to see his home far away, his friends, family, brothers, and the people he liked. He missed the feeling of going home...
However, when Xiao Daocheng said he wanted to slap Feng Hao, Wang Meng quickly stopped him. If he slapped Feng Hao again, he would not be able to get over it. However, Chen Baxian said that there seemed to be no other suitable method except this.
Just as Feng Hao was immersed in his fantasy, Gao Changgong pushed everyone away and spread his arms to slap Feng Hao's big round face. Wang Meng quickly got up and got out of the way. Chen Baxian and Xiao Daocheng supported him on the left and right.
Holding Feng Hao's body, just wait and see if Gao Changgong can win with one blow.
The ministers wanted to stop Gao Changgong, but this was the only way in this situation. In the end, there was really no other way. Gao Changgong ignored the group of people and only heard a loud "pop-", and Feng Hao's face appeared
There was a big red mark.
Feng Hao's eyes finally returned to the present. He looked at everyone in front of him and asked in a daze: "Where is this..."
Wang Meng quickly ran over to help Feng Hao, and everyone gathered around him and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to sacrifice at the altar of heaven?"
He looked at the people in front of him, and then he remembered that he had come to a parallel world that was far away from reality. After relaxing for a while, Feng Hao stood up slightly. He didn't know what happened just now, or why he fainted.
When Chen Baxian and Xiao Daocheng admitted their mistakes, Feng Hao showed no mercy at all and asked them to receive ten military sticks each to show their power.
Feng Hao put his hands on his temples and said to Chen Baxian and Xiao Daocheng, "If you two continue to shoot without my consent, I will use you two as cannonballs!"
At least, Feng Hao did not use very extreme methods to punish them for firing cannons without permission. Brothers Xiao Daocheng and Chen Baxian happily went to the altar to sacrifice to heaven and received the ten military sticks.
However, there was a problem with the live broadcast, which made people all over the world watch. How could Feng Hao be suddenly knocked unconscious by a cannon?
But the ceremony of worshiping heaven is still going on. The rituals in many countries are different, so the time is also different. For example, Song Dynasty has just started dancing at this time. Zhao Kuangyin and some dancers are dancing together on the altar of worshiping heaven. Although they dance
It's not very good, but at least it shows your sincerity.
The Zhao Kingdom's heaven-sacrifice ceremony ended, and the live broadcast also ended. The screen cut to other countries, and this time the commentators were Zhuge Liang from the Kingdom of Shu and his brother Zhuge Jin from the Kingdom of Wu. Why did they let them
The two are responsible for hosting the live broadcast and commentary, not because they are eloquent, but if the famous troll Mi Heng comes over, it will definitely become a hit immediately.
