Chapter 229: The Book of Calamity

 Fu Tianchou stood on the side of Siyang Fangzun and smiled bitterly.

Shortly after Dagan founded the country, he did not have his own ritual of worshiping heaven, so he could only respect the Zhou rituals.

According to the Zhou rituals, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was presided over by the emperor and all officials followed. The main processes include welcoming the gods, performing rituals, raising the sacrificial quotations, offering the first offer, offering the second offer, and offering the final offer.

Before sacrifice, the emperor and all officials must fast and check the sacrifices and sacrificial tools of the gods.

On the day of sacrifice, the emperor led all officials to the suburbs early in the morning. The emperor wore a big fur and a robe (dressed with sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons and other patterns). He wore a crown with twelve tassels hanging from front and back. He had a big gui around his waist, held a jing in his hand, and stood facing the west on the southeast side of the Circular Mound.

The emperor went to the main position of the God Card of Haotian to perform the kneeling ceremony, and then went to the ancestors to sing incense and bowed. After returning to the throne, he knelt three times and nine times to the gods.

Then the drums and music sounded, and the Emperor of Heaven came to celebrate the sacrifice.

Then the emperor held the sacrifice dedicated to the Emperor of Heaven and slaughtered him.

These sacrifices will be placed on firewood piles with jade bi, jade gui, silk and other sacrifices. The emperor ignites the accumulated firewood, allowing the fireworks to rise high in the sky, and let the emperor smell the scent.

This is a burning fire, also called "sacrificial sacrifice".

Then, with the sound of music, the "corpse" was welcomed to climb to the Circular Mound. The corpse was decorated with a living person and incarnated as the incarnation of the Emperor of Heaven, representing the Emperor of Heaven to receive sacrifices and enjoyment.

The corpse was seated, and there were various ritual vessels containing sacrifices such as jade bi, tripod, and gui. First, the blood of sacrifice was presented to the corpse, and then five different quality wines were presented in turn, called Wuqi.

After the first two times, I would like to offer all the livestock, big soup (gravy), (xing) ginger (cauldron with a cauldron, two ears and three legs, and a cover) soup (geng), etc. After the fourth time, I would like to offer the food of millet and sorghum.

After offering, the corpse used three kinds of wine to thank the sacrificial person, which was called zuo.

After drinking, the emperor and the dance team danced in "Cloud Gate" together.

This music and dance was created during the Huangdi period and has been passed down to this day.

Finally, the priests also share the wine and liquor used for the sacrifice, and bless the corpse to the emperor, etc., which is called "gu" and also "drinking blessings".

The emperor then gave the flesh for sacrifice to his royal family members, which was called "Zuo".

Then, the officials who read the blessings, the officials who went to the silk to hold silk, and the officials who were in charge of the sacrifices were all sent to the burning furnace. The emperor went to Wangliao to watch the burning sacrifices. After the praise and ceremony was completed, the ceremony of offering sacrifices was officially over.

Overall, the ceremony is extremely complicated and requires preparation several months in advance.

Since he served as the Minister of Rites, he has never prepared a ceremony to worship the sky.

The last time Chu Hao sacrificed his life, he was still confined to the sky, and I don’t know what rituals there were at that time.

Thinking of this, Fu Tianchou looked to the side.

Hai Dafu looked gloomy and ordered the eunuchs to place various wine and meat for sacrifices on the altar, as well as some ritual vessels.

After seeing this scene, Fu Tianchou's face became even stronger.

As the Minister of Rites, he is now like a mascot, standing by and unable to do anything.

He wanted to say that the things that Hai Dafu prepared were not in line with the etiquette, but he could not speak at all.

In Fu Tianchou's opinion, Dagan was not even equipped with officials from various departments at this moment. Even if Wang Kuihua said that all the rituals should be simple, even if these rituals were simplified, they would not be able to be carried out by just a few people.

Thinking of this, Fu Tianchou shook his head and sighed with a complicated expression.

He had a premonition that he would be dismissed from office and was suspended from office again.

At this time, the shower and changing clothes were over, and Chu Hao, who had changed into a crown, walked to Fu Tianchou with a serious expression.

After glanced at the things that Hai Dafu prepared, he nodded slightly and asked Fu Tianchou: "Fu Tianchou, what else do you need to see?"

Fu Tianchou sighed in his heart. He knew that saying that the ritual is wrong at this moment might anger Chu Hao, but as the Minister of Rites, he had to mention it.

I immediately told Chu Hao about what I thought in my heart.

Chu Hao listened seriously at the beginning, but after listening for a few minutes, he saw that he was still talking nonstop, without any intention of ending, and his brows frowned involuntarily.

"alright."

Chu Hao waved his hand and said coldly: "It's not time to talk about these things. You can prepare whatever you can. You don't have to follow the ceremony of the Great Zhou."

"I always feel that it's good to be sincere, and the ceremony is so complicated and useless."

Fu Tianchou wanted to tell Chu Hao that the cumbersome ceremony was to express respect for God. But after looking at Chu Hao, whose face had already become cold, he could only suppress this thought.

While he was silent, Chu Hao had already walked to the altar and stood calmly for a while.

He didn't speak, and no one else dared to make any noise. He stood quietly with his eyes, nose, nose and heart.

After a while, Chu Hao emptied his distracting thoughts and irritability in his heart, then took a deep breath, thinking about the five turbidities and prayed sincerely to the Siyang Fangzun behind the altar, and said, "When the human world has encountered a great disaster, the king of the Han Dynasty, Chu Hao begged God to give him a way to rescue him."

Seeing this, Fu Tianchou, who was not far away, couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

He also knew what happened in Jinling City. In his opinion, Chu Hao, as the king of Dagan, should summon his ministers to discuss how to solve it, rather than hold a ceremony to sacrifice the sky to ask the ghosts and gods.

Just as he was thinking about this, the sky was shining with sunny sky suddenly became cloudy, and the clouds had already stacked up in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, purple lightning roared in the shape of a tree branch, and then a purple lightning suddenly cracked into the Four Sheep Square Zun.

The next moment, a milky white jade slip bathed in the lightning slowly floated up from the Four Sheep Square Lord.

Chu Hao was happy to see this, and the Four Sheep Fang Zun was indeed useful.

After three sincere prayers, the way of heaven was truly manifested and a solution was given.

Fu Tianchou looked up blankly and became suspicious in his heart.

Is it really not as good as a sincere heart?

While he was thinking about this, Chu Hao bowed three times to the altar.

After the three prayers, the thick black clouds in the sky immediately dissipated in all directions, and soon raindrops fell.

Chu Hao hurried to the altar and held the jade slip floating on the Four Sheep Square in his hands with both hands.

After the jade slip came into contact with his skin, the lightning on it disappeared into the jade slip.

Chu Hao held the jade slip in front of him, but saw that the front and back sides were smooth and smooth, with no word.

After being stunned, he quickly used the Qi-seeking technique to look at it.

"The Book of Heavenly Transformation?"

After reading the attributes of the Book of Transformation and Tribulation, Chu Hao murmured softly, and then after reading the notes behind, his eyes gradually narrowed.

Suddenly I remembered what the Golden Eye Beast of Water-avoiding Water once said.

"The Taoist ancestor opened the path of immortality for sentient beings, and even every grass and every tree is the path of immortality, and cultivation is also the path of immortality."

"Since the Taoist ancestor preached, I have no idea how many Yuanhe has passed. All things only know how to obtain, but not how to reward, and can live several Yuanhes at any time, or even longer."

"After attaining enlightenment, he will live in heaven..."
