Five Hundred and Forty Years of Miracles
Yushan.
This is some distance away from Tsuchimikado's house, a high mountain that seems to be in contact with the night sky.
The mountain is lush with trees and uninhabited. There is only one mountain road leading directly to the top of the mountain. It is very spectacular like guiding people straight to the sky.
On the highest point above the mountain top, all the trees here have been cut down, even though the surrounding area is still surrounded by tall trees, but the center has become a square, which is not considered vast, but it is not considered narrow either.
In the center of the square, there is a stone platform.
There are still unburned bonfires placed in the four corners of the platform, and four shrine-like torii gates stand in four directions, each with its own color.
The torii on the east side is blue.
The torii on the west side is white.
The torii in the south is red.
The torii gate on the north side is black.
Four torii gates surround the platform, making a sacrificial table on the platform look extraordinarily solemn and sacred.
Taking a closer look, on the sacrificial table, there are various sacrificial items for offering.
There are plates painted red with white silk scrolls bound with silver thread.
There are very old looking pommel horses.
There are dolls made of paper.
A bell tied with a rope.
In addition, beside the sacrificial table, there are also taiko drums and conch shells, and a folded shape.
This is the altar of the "Taishan Fujun Sacrifice" that has been used by the Tuyumen family for generations -- the Temple of Heaven.
At this time, three people came here.
It was Luo Zhen, Natsume, and Dalian Temple Suzuka.
The three stood in front of the platform, quietly looking at the Temple of Heaven in front of them, relatively speechless.
This situation has been maintained since the very beginning.
The three of them have been here for some time.
Because of this, some items needed for the ceremony can be fully prepared, so that the Temple of Heaven can be placed neatly.
And the person who prepared these was of course Suzuka of Dalian Temple who planned to hold the "Taishan Fujun Sacrifice".
By manipulating the simple formula, Dalianji Suzuka completed the preparations as quickly as possible, and the current scene was formed just now.
"Ready."
Dalian Temple Suzuka didn't look at others, but only looked at the Temple of Heaven, and spoke in a low voice.
"The ritual can now be performed at any time."
This sentence made the surrounding somewhat tense.
"Really?" Luo Zhen nodded, and said very simply: "In that case, let's start."
Hearing that, before Suzuka of Dalian Temple expressed his opinion, Natsume finally couldn't help but speak out.
"Is this really okay?"
Natsume couldn't help talking to Luo Zhen.
"Even if it's just the "Taishan Mansion Monarch Sacrifice" passed down from generation to generation by the Tuyumen family instead of the emperor's style, it's dangerous to hold this ceremony casually, isn't it?"
Natsume was worried about this.
Luo Zhen also knew that Natsume's worries were not superfluous.
According to Yin and Yang Taoism, after a person dies, his soul will return to Mount Tai.
There is a hell in Mount Tai, and there are gods who govern the soul.
The gods are called Taishan Fujun, who breaks yang during the day and yin at night, and is the god who justly judges the two realms of yin and yang.
It is said that the Lord of Mount Tai is the god who is the most upright and greatest person in the world, and he changes every five hundred years.
The "Taishan Mansion Lord Sacrifice" is to sacrifice to the god-level spiritual being named Taishan Mansion Lord, so as to connect with it and manipulate the soul, which is equivalent to a grand ceremony to ask God for assistance.
Of course, the modern pan-style does not recognize the existence of the soul, and even rejects all religious overtones. All spells and research on the soul are regarded as taboos, and contact is not allowed.
Now, although the
It is precisely because of this that since the night light, the Tuyumen family has not held the "Taishan Mansion Lord Sacrifice" ceremony, so that the Temple of Heaven has been sleeping here for almost half a century.
Now, Luo Zhen is preparing to carry out this ceremony again, and Natsume is naturally not worried.
"Although the Yinyang Hall did not prohibit the Tuyumen family from performing the "Taishan Mansion Monarch Sacrifice" again to perform sacrifices, but this time it is not a sacrifice at all, but preparations for the spirit descending. Is this really good?"
Natsume looked worried, and it was clear at a glance that he disapproved of Luo Zhen's doing so.
Luo Zhen had anticipated this, and didn't say anything, just glanced at Dalian Temple Suzuka.
Dalian Temple Suzuka still didn't look at Luo Zhen, but as if aware of his gaze, he spoke in a low voice.
"You can go back on your word at any time."
The tone of Dalianji Suzuka was full of self-deprecating and self-abuse-like emotions.
It seems that after realizing his defeat and calming down, Dalianji Suzuka has realized his own obsession, and is now in a state of self-destruction.
Luo Zhen just pouted.
"Don't worry, since I said it, I won't break my promise."
Luo Zhen promised like this.
"Autumn view!"
Natsume couldn't hide her worry anymore.
For such Natsume, Luo Zhen smiled.
"Okay, Natsume, when have you ever seen me do things without measure?" Luo Zhen said: "I assure you, there will be no problems, just trust me."
Luo Zhen gave Natsume another promise.
Under such circumstances, Natsume couldn't say anything more.
"You should know how to hold the "Taishan Mansion Monarch Sacrifice"?"
In the end, Natsume could only say such words with a sigh.
"I know." Luo Zhen nodded, and said: "After all, it was a ceremony held by generations of the Tuyumen family in the past. Even though it is basically abandoned now, I still got the ceremony book from my father, so let's write it down .”
Under the teaching of Tsuchimokon Taisumi for many years, Luo Zhen basically inherited what the Tsuchimokon family should be inherited.
Among them, it naturally also includes the ceremony of "Taishan Mansion Monarch Sacrifice" passed down from generation to generation.
"I'll start now."
Luo Zhen made a decisive decision and stopped delaying. After leaving such a sentence, he walked towards the Temple of Heaven.
Seeing this, both Natsume and Dalianji Suzuka also held their breath.
Because, next, they will see the miracle of the Yin-Yang Dao that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Luo Zhen came to the Temple of Heaven and stood in front of the sacrificial table.
"Snapped!"
The next moment, without any warning, Luo Zhen suddenly closed his palms together, making a crisp sound.
At this moment, spell power emerged from Luo Zhen's body.
"Boom!"
Around the altar, a bonfire was suddenly lit, causing the flames to burn.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
With the sound of three consecutive explosions, the other three bonfires also burned.
The bonfire around the altar illuminated the surrounding area, and even emitted a hazy light, covering the entire altar.
"Snapped!"
Luo Zhen clapped his hands again, releasing the magic power.
"Boom!"
This time, the taiko drum was struck suddenly, hit directly by the mantra, and a heavy drum sound came out.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The drums beat one after another, rhythmically ringing.
During this period, Luo Zhen clasped his hands together again, causing the magic conch on the sacrificial table to float, and was blown under the instigation of the mantra.
"Woo----!"
The long conch sound resounded throughout Yushan, and even spread to the night sky and the distant sky.
It wasn't until this moment that Luo Zhen stretched out his hand, picked up the shape on the sacrificial table, and opened it.
Above, densely packed congratulatory speeches appeared like sacrificial texts.
