Chapter 881 The First Sacrificial Dance of the Qin Dynasty! King Zheng of Qin Sent Qin Chang'an Jun Chengjiao to Inform Dilong!
September 6, the fifteenth year of the Qin Dynasty.
The end of Pingdan (5:00)
Nearly 300,000 victims took the Zhengxian altar as the center and the eight Shinto lines as the grid, forming square formations according to gender, age and child.
Every victim has his hands drooped, his head lowered, solemn and solemn, and his eyes full of fanaticism.
Nearly 300,000 victims stood quietly under the night without stars or fire, like the ghosts of the dead soldiers hiding under the underworld!
It wasn't until the first ray of morning sun shone on the altar that the victims finally raised their heads, and then invariably looked to the west.
"Dang~~~"
The chimes in the rescue camp were rung, making melodious music.
"Woo~~~"
When the sound of the chimes was about to dissipate, ten virgins blew their horns.
"Boom!!!"
When the sound of the horn became increasingly desolate, sixty-six shamans stood around the eleven spiritual drums and chopped down the drumsticks together!
The gate of the camp suddenly opened, and sixty-six flat cars rushed out of the camp gate first, then lined up in two lines along both sides of the main road and drove to the altar while playing Chinese chapters.
Following the musicians, Fengchang's subordinate guards poured out of the camp gate and lined up on both sides of the Shinto to protect him.
"Dang~~~"
Another chime sounded, and a jade chariot (lù) carried by five horses slowly drove out of the camp gate carrying Ying Zheng.
On the left side of the jade chariot, a flat chariot also ridden by five horses carried Ying Chenglong and went out simultaneously with Ying Zheng.
The soldiers of the Chang'an Junfu carried twenty Chang'an red flags used in disaster relief on their shoulders, formed a Daqin official formation, and followed behind Ying Chengyu to protect him.
Further to the rear, the ministers of the Qin Dynasty were riding in chariots and horses, accompanied by regular officials, carrying sheep and grain, and came to the scene.
When the twenty red flags were fluttering in the wind, the victims could no longer hold back. They raised their hands in the direction of the red flags and shouted: "Greetings to Lord Chang'an!"
Fortunately, Zheng Miao and other lower-level officials were also mixed in the crowd, shouting at the top of their lungs: "Meet the king!"
When their shouts spread to the distance, the invisible victims lined up at other shrines, although they didn't know what happened, hurriedly raised their hands and shouted together: "Greetings to Lord Chang'an! Greetings to the king!"
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth turned up slightly, and he said in a funny tone: "The voice of all the people cheering for the king's brother is more sincere than the voice of cheering for the brother!"
Ying Chengyu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Are you envious?"
"Later, Big Brother will announce another tax reduction order, and the people's voices cheering for Big Brother will definitely be more sincere than the voices cheering for Brother!"
Ying Zheng smiled and said nothing.
Will few people be envious?
I am just happy that although Wang Di cannot learn how to govern the people, he has mastered the method of governing the people that belongs to Wang Di alone.
In this way, I will feel more at ease!
Upon seeing this, Ying Chengyu stopped saying anything. He tried his best to make his posture more upright, imitating the appearance of the statue in his memory, and cast loving eyes on the victims along the way.
After riding all the way to the outside of the square, Ying Chengyu slowly stepped off the flat car, and Ying Zheng also walked slowly off the jade chariot. The two brothers stepped onto the Shinto side by side, and climbed to the altar along the Shinto.
Standing at the highest point of the altar, stepping on a copper plate engraved with images of the gods under the earth dragon, majestic mountains, cordyceps, birds and beasts, Ying Chengyu slowly turned around and spoke in a deep voice: "Play music to invite the gods!"
The virgin rings the bell.
Every six wizards stood around a six-sided spiritual drum and waved the drumsticks together.
Under the vigorous performance of the six wizards, the spirit drum not only made a deafening roar, but also transmitted most of the vibrations to the ground due to its special structure, causing the earth to tremble slightly, and even raised the sound that had been sprinkled on the spirit drum earlier. Floating soil nearby.
And there are sixty-six such spiritual drums!
Looking down from the angle under the altar, you can see the dust jumping and flying to the rhythm of the wizards' drumming, as if the earth has joined in the celebration.
Ying Chengji shouted loudly again: "Use dogs to control the poison!"
Eighty large black dogs specially bred for sacrifice were carried outside the square and arranged in various directions.
Dazai's subordinate covered the dog's mouth with one hand, and with the other hand, he quickly slashed the black dog's throat with a dagger.
"Wooooooooooo!!!"
The severe pain hit, and the black dog wailed miserably and struggled hard, but the experienced Dazai subordinates had already controlled the black dog extremely firmly, and also used the strength of the black dog's struggle to spray the black dog's blood more evenly.
Half a quarter of an hour later, everyone participating in the sacrifice breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the black dog blood had completely surrounded the outside of the square.
Because in their opinion, these black dog blood will be able to block all evil ghosts and lewd monsters for this sacrifice!
Ying Cheng's dragon shouted loudly again: "Sacrifice and dance to entertain the gods!"
From the pavilions, platforms and pavilions above the altar, sixteen young and beautiful witches with a height of more than seven feet four inches (1.7 meters), skin like cream, bright eyes and white teeth, and beautiful appearance came out.
The smooth, delicate, white and slender feet are not wearing shoes so that the copper plate can be placed in the west.
With his long sleeves fluttering, he dances along the lines on the copper plate to the sound of music like a light and cheerful elf. His posture is enchanting and dignified, sacred and unrestrained, full of contrasting temptations!
But Ying Zheng didn't even give the witches any of his peripheral vision, he just looked at Ying Chengyu with a smile.
Ying Chengyu's face turned slightly dark, but he still stepped forward.
The music played by the musicians gradually became different, the rhythm became more and more distinct, and Ying Chengyu also added a dubbing for himself in his mind: [Group 1, stretching! 】
【preparation! 】
【rise! 】
Ying Chengyu was screaming like a wild groundhog in his heart, but his solemn face was already looking to the left, and at the same time he extended his left hand to the left.
After two beats, Ying Chengjiao retracted his left hand, turned his head to the right with a solemn face, and raised his right hand to the right.
Then Ying Chengjiao stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, raised his hands high and touched the back of his head.
Ying Chengjiao put aside all distractions, with an unprecedented sense of faith and mission, restrained the shame that was about to overflow, and continued to do the actions deep in his memory.
Ying Le: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Daqin officials: o(Д)っ!
All disaster victims: Huh? ? ?
Sacrifice is a very common activity in Daqin. Not only the court will organize sacrifices, but also local government offices will organize sacrifices. Therefore, all Qin people, regardless of their status, have seen sacrifices and sacrificial dances.
But no one in Daqin has ever seen such a sacrificial dance!
Not only is it very different from all the sacrificial dances they have seen before, there is even no beauty to speak of. It seems to be just moving arms and legs!
"This, this, this, is this really a dance for worshipping the gods? Why does it feel like this can't be called a dance at all!"
A minister muttered what many people were thinking, but he was soon met with angry glares from others.
"Do you know ghosts and gods or does Chang'an Jun know ghosts and gods? Are you a great witch or is Chang'an Jun a great witch? Chang'an Jun is a person who knows ghosts and gods and knows the world. Even if Chang'an Jun's actions to serve the gods are incredible, they are right! If you can't understand, then try to understand!"
"Although Chang'an Jun is not a fierce general, he has repeatedly fought in battles, which shows that Chang'an Jun is an extraordinary martial artist. How could he not be good at dancing? Even if Chang'an Jun is not good at dancing, he can dance with a sword to entertain the gods. Since Chang'an Jun chose such a dance, it means that this is the dance that the earth dragon likes!"
"The sacrificial dance in the past seemed gorgeous, but it could not be blessed by the gods. What's the use? The reason why we feel absurd when watching Chang'an Jun's dance is because we have never seen a real great witch sacrifice! How sad!"
Although the sacrificial dance performed by Chang'an Jun does not look like a sacrificial dance, and does not meet any standards of sacrificial dance.
But, this is a sacrificial dance performed by Chang'an Jun himself!
A sacrificial dance performed by a great witch like Chang'an Jun himself, how can it be wrong?
The reason why it is so different from all the previous sacrificial dances must be because all the witches' sacrificial dances in the past were performed wrong! No wonder Chang'an Jun can become a rare great witch in ancient and modern times!
A minister, Li Shu, suppressed his strangeness and looked up at the dancing Ying Chengjiao with reverence.
Pedestrians, merchants, and visitors from other countries even wanted to take out paper and pen on the spot to carefully draw every move of Ying Chengjiao, so that the witches in their motherland can also dance this dance exactly to entertain the gods of heaven and earth!
[Section 6, body rotation exercise! ]
Secretly beating the rhythm in his heart, Ying Chengjiao's eyes were still observing the progress of the witches' dance, and at the same time he shouted in a solemn voice: "Give the sacrifice!"
One hundred adult fat pigs, three hundred two-year-old rams, and six hundred strong sacrificial dogs were tied up tightly in the tortoise shell way and thrown on the copper plate.
Thousands of officials of the Grand Chancellor held short and narrow hand knives in their hands and walked towards the livestock step by step with solemn and gorgeous dance steps. While dancing, the hand knives had cut all the carotid arteries of the thousands of sacrifices.
Accompanied by the screams of the sacrifice, blood gushed out like a spring, which happened to become the background board of the dance of thousands of officials of the Grand Chancellor!
The hot blood flowed around along the lines on the copper plate. The witches continued their light and cheerful dance along the direction of the blood flow. The pairs of tender and cute little feet were covered with blood, which added a bit of weirdness and mystery to them.
[Section 12, three movements! 】
Following the three-round round shooting formation in the army, Ying Chengjiao shouted again in a deep voice: "Sacrifice with offerings!"
Ying Le personally led the Taile, Taizhu, Taizai and other Fengchang assistants to hold up the seven tripods and six gui carrying grains, salt and various vegetables with both hands, stepped onto the altar step by step with exactly the same steps, and carefully placed the seven tripods and six gui on the edge of the copper plate.
[Section 18, Beheading Movement! ]
[One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four...]
Accompanied by the beat in his heart, Ying Chengjiao finally finished the last section of the broadcast body... the sacrificial dance.
The Fengchang officials have also completed most of the sacrificial procedures.
The toes hidden in the boots were tapping the ground frantically, but Ying Chengjiao's face was still full of solemnity and piety.
With his sleeves waving, Ying Chengjiao bowed and shouted loudly: "King Zheng of Qin sent Prince Chengjiao of Qin Chang'an to inform the earth dragon."
"Qin has achieved great success with the blessing of the heaven and earth, and has governed the world on behalf of heaven, nurtured the people, and cultivated the ethics and order. No one dares to forget it."
"You have received the grace of the heaven and earth and have made the way of gods clear, governed the world on behalf of heaven, benefited the people, and benevolent to the world. You have divine merits and virtues, and are respected by all people."
"Now Chengjiao sincerely offers sacrifices to you. I hope you will work with Qin to comfort the people and live up to the trust of the heaven and earth!"
"Cai Xin Lai Ge (ghosts and gods come to accept the sacrifice)!"
Ying Chengjiao led sixteen witches to walk backwards out of the copper plate range, and then flicked his sleeves and ordered in a deep voice:
"Enjoy the feast!"
