Wandao long distance

Chapter 220

Bailin State, Guangyang Prefecture, Guangyang City.

Just yesterday.

Li Qi stood on an altar.

After more than 80 days, preparations for the grand festival were finally completed.

One day earlier, there were wild witches from all walks of life, clan elders and other figures from all villages, who spread the word to every household, asking everyone to turn off the lights and go to bed early, so as not to disturb the rats, and sprinkled some rice grains and cakes in the corners of the house for offering Rats eat it, which is called "mouse penny", which means that they can share a year's harvest with rats, so that they can be blessed.

Originally, doing so would definitely not get everyone's consent.

Because, in the past 80 days, almost all the crops in Guangyang have slowly withered.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this year's Guangyang is probably... a failure.

There is no food to eat.

Therefore, there is no food in the first place, how can it be distributed to mice?

However, these days, almost all the people in Guangyang who cannot afford to eat will have mice in their homes to deliver food.

The mice with golden hair and silver hair carried food from unknown sources, and gave it to each family.

Every household has received food from these rats.

At the same time, as early as more than a month ago, there were many people from the rivers and lakes, carrying wooden boxes on their backs, walking through the streets and alleys. There were rat boxes in the boxes, and a small painted wooden stage was tied on the boxes, and the artists sang slang songs. , beat the gongs and drums, and direct the mice to perform.

Mice perform in the boxes of these entertainers, such as "mouse pushing a mill" and "mouse swinging on a swing", making people laugh and linger.

People in the Jianghu are not all heroes who kill one person in ten steps and never stay behind for thousands of miles.

The real Jianghu people, on the contrary, are mostly buskers, drug sellers, thieves, liars, wandering warlocks and the like at the bottom of the society.

These people have no fixed residence, no fixed assets, can only wander around, and use various means to make a living, so they call themselves "Jianghu people", and some laugh at themselves, "Even if they are in the Jianghu, they are all hard-working people."

But it is this group of people who know the grassroots people best.

Zhang Lan called on Guangyang's rivers and lakes and green forest forces, gathered almost all the rivers and lakes buskers, and joined hands with Shu Yangfen to co-direct such a drama.

Let the performers and jugglers join forces with Shurangfen to transport food from the homes of big families, such as the Zhang family in Guangyang.

They hoarded a lot of food, enough to feed everyone in Guangyang for more than two years.

In this way, as long as the mountains, rivers and earth atmosphere are restored, it should be no problem to persist until next year's autumn harvest.

But this year's harvest is certain, so it is necessary to calm the panic in the hearts of the people.

For this reason, Wang Baiyan called on some old folks of the clan to spread the word "Rats Divide Money", and then performed all kinds of tricks and tricks that were usually invisible to make them feel peaceful.

Rats kept sending food to the family, and influential clan elders were promoting that rats are not scary. Coupled with various entertainment performances, the first wave of food panic was overshadowed.

This is Li Qi's first hand.

Shuyangfen was also happy to help, because it meant that they participated in the grand ceremony.

The first part of the great sacrifice benefited Shuyang Tomb. Although the original blood sacrifice was interrupted, which caused them to fail in transforming into gods, now they have the opportunity to make up for it.

Li Qi just needed their help.

There are tens of millions of little mice in Shuyang Tomb, tens of thousands of ninth-rank mice, more than a dozen eight-rank mice, and seventh-rank rat kings. With the cooperation of the government, this kind of power can completely penetrate into every household. .

Then, with this point, it is possible to promote what other sacrifices need in a deeper level.

The landscape gods in Guangyang were already dead. At this moment, the thousands of ninth grades in Shurang Tomb could be filled in and become new landscape gods.

In this way, the road to transforming the gods of the rat soil grave can be realized completely.

After all, there is only one purpose of Shurang Tomb from beginning to end, and that is to get rid of demons and transform gods.

At this moment, it is the moment when they are most likely to achieve their goals.

In this way, the two sides hit it off.

With the help of Shurangfen and Jianghu people, what rituals a certain village should do can be well conveyed and carried out.

These rats didn't even care about the people who Zhang Lan had killed them, they wholeheartedly cooperated with the Jiang Hu people called by Zhang Lan, and began to convey Li Qi's meaning.

In a small mountain village in Guangyang.

A gray-bearded clan elder nodded to the mice, then turned his head and coughed dryly at the people waiting behind: "Ahem, the mountain god said it!"

"Listen up, everyone! Tomorrow is the day when all the stars descend to the lower realms! As long as we pray for blessings, there will be blessings from the King of Stars. The dead crops will never grow back. That is the matter of the Mother Earth. The King of Stars has nothing to do with it, but Lord Star You can give us food so that we can survive until next year!"

The words of the clan elders gave hope to the villagers behind.

The clan elder paused for a moment on his crutches, and shouted sharply: "Listen up! No one is allowed to make mistakes. If you make a mistake and run out of food, you can kneel and die in the ancestral hall!"

The villagers and women nodded repeatedly, but they dared not answer, they just swallowed nervously.

Then, the clan elder began to preach what to do tomorrow.

First of all, small lamps should be made to burn and worship them, which is called Shunxing, also known as "worshiping stars" and "connecting stars".

The two god codes for the sacrifice have been prepared. The first one is printed with Xingke, and Chapter 2 is printed with a big golden-haired mouse. The location is enshrined.

In front of the magic code, there is a lantern made of yellow and white lantern paper soaked in sesame oil and twisted. Put it into a "lamp bowl" with a diameter of about an inch, and you need to use 49 lanterns to light it.

For cooked food and tea.

After dusk, sacrifice to the star. After the sacrifice, wait until the lamp is about to go out, and burn the god's code, vetch root, sesame straw, and pine and cypress branches together. Only in this way can the sacrifice be considered complete.

The villagers did not know what this ceremony represented, but they all firmly remembered how to do it.

After all, this is related to the rations for the next year.

In fact, this is using human popularity as a sacrifice, borrowing the power of the stars in the sky, and injecting it into the transformed mountain god of the rat soil grave, so that the mountain god has the ability to regulate the basic landscape.

As for the cooked food offered, it is actually only the carrier of popularity, not the main body of the sacrifice.

This is actually the truth of 'the suburbs are nothing but cocoon chestnuts, and steaming is not enough to grasp'.

The horns of the sacrifices used in the suburbs should not exceed the size of cocoons and chestnuts; the horns of the sacrifices used in steamed tasting should not exceed the length of a handful.

The reason why it is so small is because the gods come to the people with spirit, so they seek to prepare things, not to seek abundance.

The sacrifices are not essentially the food or livestock that need to eat you, but actually just serve as a carrier, as long as the sacrifices are complete, there is no requirement for a large number.

But these don't need to be memorized by the public, they are all distributed by Li Qi after a little bit of arrangement and consideration.

Even those mountain gods didn't know why they did this, they were just following Li Qi's order.

The village here is a place for worshiping stars.

This area is Li County, with 43 villages, all of which are in charge of Shunxing, guiding the power of stars in the sky.

Other counties also have their own tasks.

For example, Qinghe County in the east is responsible for attracting chickens.

In the extreme east of the world, there is a place called "Tanggu", where the sun rises every day.There is a huge tree named "Fusang" in the sea. It is indeterminately tall and thick.

There is a white jade rooster on the tree, which is a rooster in heaven. When the sun is about to rise, the rooster crows to announce the dawn, and all the roosters in the world crow in response, spreading the news of the rising sun in all directions. White".

In addition to guiding the power of the sun, this can also regulate the entire grand festival. As the saying goes, "the rooster judges, and the time can be judged", people use the crowing of the rooster as the dividing line between night and day.

Introducing chickens in Qinghe County can not only guide the power of the sun to descend, but also have the effect of regulating the scale of the large formation.

And so on, each of the more than 20 counties in Guangyang Prefecture has different responsibilities, various rituals and methods, which symbolize different powers and bring different effects at the same time.

The entire grand ceremony was assembled by small sacrifices composed of tens of millions of people in Guangyang.

Li Qi racked his brains, rummaged through countless books, borrowed countless strengths, and finally planned out such a usable grand ceremony regulation.

Arranging all the itineraries of tens of millions of people in a day, arranging tens of thousands of ceremonies, resulting in tens of thousands of different effects, which cannot be conflicted, and finally gathered together to revive the entire land force of Guangyang.

Just thinking about it makes it difficult.

However, with the help of Shen Shuibi, Li Qi spent more than 80 days, and finally completed this thing that was like a miracle to him.

Tens of millions of people will benefit from this, which can save millions of lives, and can also get the gratitude of thousands of landscape gods, and form a solid alliance with Shuchangfen.

He even had a faint premonition.

If he successfully completes the grand sacrifice, he may be directly promoted to the eighth rank.

Everything is proceeding step by step.

Li Qi stood on the altar, his clothes were clean, and he was full of energy, but even though he had already rested, the tiredness on his face couldn't be removed.

In fact, I have rested for a long time, and my body has fully recovered, but I am still tired.

Shen Shuibi went to sleep, she must be tired too.

Preparing for the grand festival is really a very difficult thing.

I completely underestimated the difficulty of this matter.

It can be said that Shen Shuibi shouldered more than [-]% of the workload by herself to complete the preparations for this great festival, and she worked much faster than Li Qi.

Most of the data calculation and data planning were handed over to her by Li Qi, and Li Qi himself was only responsible for the general framework design.

Boyue was also responsible for part of it, but he also had his own work to do. He just took the time to help Li Qi process some data, which probably accounted for half of the workload.

After presiding over a complete mountain and water formation, Bo Yue's background is sufficient, and he is also preparing to be promoted to the eighth rank, so now he is busy with his own work and cannot help Li Qi too much.

The Shanshui Great Formation, in essence, is the same as the grand ceremony presided over by Li Qi, it is a huge and complex system covering a whole state.

It's just that Boyue is much luckier than Li Qi.

The landscape array presided over by Bo Yue was already done by others, and he just learned after presiding over it.

If Li Qi wanted to achieve the same effect, he had to design it from scratch and then host it.

It can only be said that people are indeed different.

Both are Wushenshan sons, the luck of the two people is indeed a bit different.

However, after preparing for so long and mobilizing so many manpower, it is finally time to start.

It's time for the grand ceremony to begin.

The sacrifices have been prepared, the millet has been offered, the altar is cleaned, the sacrificial attire is solemnly put on, and the sweet wine is filtered.

This is one pure, two essences, three animals, four grains, five colors, six laws, seven events, eight sounds, nine sacrifices, ten days, twelve days, and so on. Count it to honor it.

The purity of one heart, the two essences of jade and silk, the three animals of cattle, sheep and pigs, the grains of the four seasons, five colors, six rhythms, seven sacrificial ceremonies, eight sounds of gold and stone, nine sacrificial methods, adjusted scales of stems and branches, and all the people and sacrifices official.

Mingde is used to show it, harmony is used to listen to it, and it is used to tell the world.

Everything is ready.

The hour has come.

Li Qi solemnly stepped onto the altar.

This is a seven-grade altar forged by Guangyang Sikong. It can be large or small. The upper part can look up to the sky, the middle part can look up to people, and the lower part can be grounded.

This is exactly what Li Qi is going to do now.

This is a sacrifice hundreds of times grander than the river opening ceremony!

It was a big festival that mobilized tens of millions of people!
At this moment alone, there are tens of thousands of ceremonies like the "first way and second way" of the trackers, all over the whole of Guangyang!
Chengtian, Shunren, Fudi.

He is the center of Guangyang.

He is the bridge of communication among heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts.

All Qi passes through his altar, and as a just and solemn wisher, he will uphold righteousness and righteousness, and maintain this balance for a long time.

Under the blessing of the entire Guangyang, he is like... some kind of existence that is more noble than a god.

The altar is very high, and countless people in Guangyang are looking at it. Everyone knows that there is a grand ceremony to be held here, so they are all paying attention to it while they are busy with things.

The dignity of the weather is as expensive as a thousand times, and the crowd is as rich as ten thousand gold.

However, these are not enough to describe Li Qi's appearance at the moment.

He seems to have extraordinary wisdom at this moment, and the surging power caused the altar to vibrate astonishingly!
As the protector, Le Ya stood on a tall building not far away, watching Li Qi over there.

A sentence popped into his mind.

"The essence of the people of the ancients did not carry the two, but they were able to be honest and upright. Their wisdom compared righteousness up and down. Their holiness could spread far and wide, their brightness could illuminate them, and their intelligence could hear them through. Come down."

"Those who have the appropriateness of etiquette, the rules of majesty, the respect of appearance, and the quality of loyalty and trustworthiness are regarded as 'blessings'."

This is the real witch, the real wish.

It should be so heroic, so grand.

Only such a person is worthy to be called the son of Wushen Mountain.

The fifth-rank witch of Wushen Mountain sighed.

Pity.

If nothing else happened, Young Master Qi should be able to use this to advance to the eighth rank.

Of course, the premise is... If there are no accidents.

He thought so, and then flew up, setting up a circle of defense around Guangyang City.

In fact, it has already been arranged.

He just wanted to add more.

A little bit, just a little bit.

　Uh... the classical Chinese in the first two chapters is not a book bag, but a very, very important plot. The reason why this expression is used is because it needs to fit the characters. It is not appropriate for both sides to speak vernacular on this occasion...
