Chapter 404
"The auspicious time has come, let's perform the sacrifice."

As the year-end festival kicked off, bursts of ancient music came to mind.

The end-of-year sacrifice is dominated by the royal family, and Long Yu, as the master of the Longhua Empire, should be the chief priest.Long Yu, who had already changed into a sacrificial attire, entered the arena from the south gate and walked to the southeast.Then walk up to the altar from the left hand side, walk all the way to the middle platform and stand in place.

"Burnt firewood stove, welcome the gods, and play drum music."

When the sound of the drum music sounded, Long Yu stepped up to the main seat of the emperor card on the upper level.

bow down……

Incense...

Afterwards, Long Yu moved again, and came to the allocation tablet of the ancestors of the royal family.

kowtow...

Incense...

After completing the above steps, Long Yu slowly retreated to the seat on the middle platform.

Kneeling three times and prostrating nine times...

"Lay jade and silk, and play drum music."

The sound of the drum music changed quietly, and Long Yu once again stepped in front of the main seat of the upper emperor card.

lay jade silk...

Behind the tree, Long Yu moved again, and came to the tablet of the royal ancestors.

lay jade silk...

After completing the above steps, Long Yu slowly retreated to the seat on the middle platform.

"Jinzu, play music."

The end-of-year ceremony has just entered the third process, and Bu Fan has already begun to feel like sitting on pins and needles.Seeing Long Yu start to walk up and down on the altar again, Bu Fan suddenly felt a little dizzy.

"I said, isn't this year-end ceremony really boring?" Bu Fan sat upright and kept his eyes open, his lips slightly opened and closed, and his voice was extremely low: "His Majesty the Emperor is going back and forth, I feel tired for him." uncomfortable."

"Hehe...did you just know?" Wu Ping glanced at Bu Fan, then imitated his appearance, pretending to be serious and said: "This is not halfway through yet, we don't dare to sit here Panting, but His Majesty the Emperor still has to run back and forth many times."

Bu Fan and Wu Ping sat there whispering, they didn't dare to show any disrespect.The dragon feather on the altar is really like what Wu Ping said, going up and down non-stop.Every time the ceremony goes through a process, Long Yu has to make such a lap on the altar.

The end-of-year festival was still going on, and Bu Fan tried his best to restrain the urge to yawn.In the past, Bu Fan heard from his sister more than once that the end of the year ceremony is a very torturous ceremony.Now that Bu Fan has personally experienced it, he thinks her sister's previous remarks were too conservative.

"Aha……"

The tranquility on the viewing platform was broken, and someone actually yawned on this occasion.Everyone on the viewing platform took a sneak peek, and the yawning one turned out to be Bu Wangshu.The Patriarch of the Bu Family twisted his neck, and then sniffed hard, as if he was dozing off and catching a cold.

If this matter is placed on others, it is inevitable that someone will accuse him of disrespect.But this happened to the Patriarch of the Bu family, and all the sensible people around him pretended they didn't see it.After all, among Longyu's 24 families, the one closest to the royal family is the Bu family.

"You are really a child of the Bu family, you have exactly the same reaction as the Patriarch of the Bu family."

Wu Ping withdrew his sneaky scrutiny, and turned his eyes to Bu Fan beside him.Bu Fan was choked by Wu Ping at once. He pondered for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but I'm speechless."

The two talked nonsense in a serious manner, passing the boring time of watching the ceremony.Bu Fan looked around unobtrusively, and the heads of Longyu's 24 families, as well as some direct descendants, were all present.Bu Fan suddenly thought of the southwest border, where the war had not subsided yet.

"Hey... Hey, what are you staring at, what are you thinking?"

Wu Ping quietly elbowed Bu Fan, and Bu Fan finally recovered.After thinking for a while, Bu Fan expressed the doubt in his heart: "Hey, you said... we are holding a year-end festival here, will the Maurya Dynasty take the opportunity to sneak attack?"

"The year-end festival is being held in Longhua, which is indeed an opportunity for the Maurya Dynasty. However, I don't think they will act rashly, because their goal is not the territory, but the magic teleportation array in the border city."

It was Wu Shan who answered Bu Fan, which surprised Bu Fan and Wu Ping.Neither of them expected that Wu Shan would join their whispers.In fact, it's not that Wu Shan can't stand loneliness, but he saw that the topic of the two of them was quite to his liking, so he lowered his voice to explain the confusion for the two of them.

"Longyu 24, the Lin family, the Liu family and the Zhao family are mainly in the military." Wu Shan said and gave the two of them a wink, and the two followed his gaze.After seeing the members of the Lin family and the Zhao family respectively, Wu Shan continued: "Have you noticed? The people from the Lin family and the Zhao family have not all returned."

Wu Ping took his father's word from the side, and continued to popularize the manpower of the three families for Bu Fan.In fact, including the Liu family, all three of these families have manpower on the southwest border.It would be fine if the Maurya Dynasty didn't sneak attack, but if it did sneak attack, it would be exactly what it wanted.

In the Taoist area closest to the main seat, sitting alone in the most marginal position seems a bit out of place.Although this man was covered tightly, if Bu Fan saw him, he would still be able to recognize him as a Taoist name.

Dao Ming mixed with the Taoist team and came to the ceremony site of the end of the year to find someone.Dao Ming wanted to use his relationship to try to see if he could meet Long Yu.And the key to whether he can meet Long Yu lies in his friend who has not seen him for a long time.

"Burning sacrifices, watching the fire, and playing drums."

The ceremony of the end-of-year ceremony was still going on, but this time Long Yu finally stopped running back and forth.As early as the end of the previous process, he had already moved to the position.At this time, the sacrifices that were transferred to the incinerator were lit up, and the green smoke soared upwards. Long Yu watched Liaoyan and folded his hands together to pray silently.

The sacrifice was still burning in the fire, and Long Yu had left the place and exited the altar.Applause broke out on the viewing platform, and some young people cheered loudly.People are celebrating the complete success of the Tail Festival, and they are also celebrating that they have finally survived the boring ceremony.

"Red clothes, you go." Seeing that the tail sacrifice ceremony was over, the second prince waved his hand at the woman in red behind him.

"Yes." The woman in red replied respectfully, then bowed and retreated quietly.

Almost at the same time that the second prince sent out the woman in red, the third prince was naturally not willing to be left behind, and also sent out his confidants.The two princes wanted to have a conversation with Bu Fan, and they had to be ahead of each other.

Although the sacrificial ceremony was over at this time, it was not yet time for everyone to leave.Therefore, every move of the two princes is always under the supervision of Longwei.Some unknown dragon guards like Han Yao had already been secretly eyeing the subordinates of the two princes.
