Missy, She Always Doesn't Seek to Make Progress.

Chapter 1188: Sacrifice to Heaven, Earth Shakes

Just when Qin Liuxi plunged into the library of the Jade Buddha Temple and immersed himself in the various Buddhist formations, the whole Dafeng was undercurrent. The people suddenly discovered that there seemed to be many more Taoist monks walking around in the market, although they felt a little weird. , but didn’t think deeply about it.

For the common people, both Buddhism and Taoism are Buddhism. They will go to burn incense and worship Buddha and ask questions. However, these monks move around in the secular world, either for alms or preaching, and do not think about the destruction of the world.

Ordinary people may still believe in evil spirits. After all, they have always believed in the existence of such things as evil spirits, but they dare not think or believe such a fantasy as the destruction of the world.

Of course, even if the world is destroyed, they probably have no time to care about it, and they are already a little numb, because this year has been so sad.

Frequent natural disasters, no harvests, soaring prices, countless people died in various ways in the disasters, this tragedy has not yet passed, winter comes again one year, ushering in a cold wave and cold winter again, how can we not be numb, how can we not despair?

Some people probably think that it doesn't matter if the end comes, since they can't escape death anyway.

Therefore, no one noticed the reason why the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism and even some wizards came out one after another. Just because the cold winter was coming, they wanted to live in another way.

On November 20th, Emperor Kangwu went to the altar to worship heaven and pray for the world.

The altar is located next to Yongyang Gate in the eastern suburbs of Shengjing. It is built along the Yushan moat. In order to have better access to the altar, the ladder leading to the altar has ninety-nine steps, with handrails on both sides. Black iron chain links can be used as handrails for climbers.

This time, for the sake of piety, half of the ministers who could move around in the court came, and some of the female relatives came to accompany him. Therefore, the momentum was so great that the troops from the West Beijing Camp were dispatched to escort him. and maintain order.

But apart from the saint, the nobles who came to accompany the driver had smiles on their faces, but they were scolding in their hearts. It was so cold that they could barely breathe, and they came to the altar to worship heaven. Isn't this nonsense? A toss?

Look at the day, it's gray and it's about to snow heavily. It's too cold.

If you have this money, you might as well do something practical, such as preparing more rice, or charcoal for heating. Who doesn’t know that this year will be difficult, even the charcoal for heating is much more expensive than in previous years, because of the quantity few.

On the altar, everything has been prepared, waiting for the royal chariot to arrive.

Yan Dingbang, the Minister of Guanglu Temple, was sweating a little in the cold weather. He looked at the sky from time to time, feeling uneasy in his heart, as if something was about to happen.

He came to Niu Guangpeng, the minister of Honglu Temple, who was also co-organizing the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, and said, "Old Niu, it must be an auspicious day. Are you okay? My heart is beating so fast, something feels wrong."

Niu Guangpeng's eyelids twitched and he scolded in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is an auspicious day and auspicious time for Qin Tianjian to come out. How could it be wrong? Don't be so talkative."

Ahhhh.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a big crow landing on the stone beast Chi on the roof of the Temple of Heaven's Great Sacrifice Hall, and squawked a few times.

The two of them saw each other clearly, and their faces turned dark when they looked at each other.

How could there be a crow on such a cold day? It was so unlucky to appear at the time when the saint was offering sacrifices to heaven.

"Let someone scare it away with feather arrows." Niu Guangpeng said with a dark face.

The crow stood at the tail of the auspicious beast, looking carefully to confirm that the auspicious beast in front of him was the same as the one he had seen before. When the arrow was shot, it flapped its wings and flew away, its huge wings fanning out a small whirlwind. , disappeared quickly.

And the auspicious beast exuded an ominous black energy, which slowly spread.

The hour is right and the auspicious time is coming.

Emperor Kangwu appeared at the altar surrounded by nobles and two or three princes' sons. The Minister of Rites sang the lyrics, and the people watching at the foot of the mountain shouted long live.

The Dafeng flag was fluttering in the cold wind, swaying loudly, there were clouds piled above the head, and the sky was dark. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like an auspicious day to worship the heaven.

Emperor Kangwu also showed his displeasure. Everyone in Qin Tian Jian clearly said that it was an auspicious day to offer sacrifices to the sky, but this was not an auspicious day in the zodiac with dark clouds gathering, so Jian was about to step down.

But now that he has come, the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven must be held, and he himself insists on coming to offer sacrifices to heaven. Saints are not wrong, and any mistakes are the fault of the people below.

After a tedious process, Emperor Kangwu personally recited the sacrificial inscriptions, offered incense to the gods, and knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times.

Outside, the wind was raging.

Someone felt the ground shake slightly and couldn't help but be a little surprised. They asked the people around them: "Did you feel it?"

"What?"

"The ground seems to be shaking."

Heavy snow like goose feathers suddenly fell from the dark sky. The people standing outside shivered from the cold, and the ground shook slightly again.

This movement was much more obvious than before, and more than one person felt it.

Those with sharp eyes saw that the auspicious beast Chiki on the roof of the grand sacrificial hall seemed to come to life, shrouded in an ominous black mist, and opened its huge mouth as if to swallow a ridge.

There was a loud click, and the roof ridge broke, followed by a sudden tremor.

Everyone was stunned. When they realized what was happening, they screamed and ran away in all directions.

The ground is shaking!

In the Great Sacrifice Hall, Emperor Kangwu had just put the incense on the altar when he was frightened by the sudden shaking and his heart skipped a beat.

I don’t know who called out for escort first, and those who were timid subconsciously ran out.

Emperor Kangwu also walked out surrounded by ministers and generals. However, the ground shook more and more intensely, and he staggered and almost fell.

The national master suddenly appeared in his sight.

"Master, please save me." Emperor Kangwu saw that he was slightly calm, although he had doubts about the master and didn't trust him very much. He even believed the man in the nightmare and felt that the master had evil intentions.

But the Imperial Master had never harmed him, and now he suddenly appeared during the earthquake, which naturally moved him.

The imperial master was standing at the gate of the palace. Above his head, the chi kiss swallowed the ridge of the roof, and the tiles and beams fell down, heading straight towards Emperor Kangwu.

King Zhao, who was closest to Emperor Kangwu, knew that the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds had come, and shouted: "Father, be careful."

He rushed over and opened his hands, intending to protect Emperor Kangwu, but when he came to Emperor Kangwu, he pushed him in front of everyone's stunned and horrified eyes.

Yes, a push.

When Emperor Kangwu fell to the ground, a white shadow flew over to protect his upper body, but the beam hit his lower body.

Click.

Emperor Kangwu screamed.

King Zhao: "!"

Deja Vu was hit by a beam.

No, who is he, where is he, what did his hand just do?

In full view of everyone, he pushed his father and made him lie under the beam, where he was knocked upside down.

Is he committing regicide?

During the violent shaking, King Zhao's eyesight went dark, and he was finished. (End of chapter)
