Chapter 291 Military Saint Lectures

As soon as the three-day deadline came.

The mighty convoy set off from Qinghe and headed straight for Qinghe Paddock.

Autumn hunting.

It was not a simple hunting, but would last for a full month.

The most important thing for a country is sacrifice and war.

The most important thing for autumn hunting is, of course, sacrifice. Just like the Tiannan Paddock, the first thing is a grand sacrifice that lasts for three days.

Only then will the formal autumn hunting begin.

But it is still not hunting, but Lord Yuan will personally open a forum to talk about martial arts and answer everyone's martial arts questions. This is a great opportunity for martial artists.

Getting a word of advice from the top ten in the world is worth ten years of hard training.

Otherwise, why would the elders of these major clans want to bring their families and follow them?

It is just to listen to Lord Yuan's martial arts talk.

The forum lasted another three days.

Then it was time for the highlight, the martial arts talk.

Lord Yuan, of course, would not take action, and because Lord Yuan's offspring was still young, he would let the young talents of Yunzhou take the stage to compete.

If it was in Tiannan Paddock, the scene would be even bigger.

All the royal children had to participate in the competition, which was spectacular.

The top three would receive rewards from Lord Yuan.

Finally, it was the theme of the autumn hunt - hunting.

It lasted for ten days.

It was not really necessary to send these rich disciples to Shiwan Mountain to fight with monsters. The enclosure was of course to hunt monsters. At that time, some monsters would be caught and put in Qinghe Paddock for people to hunt.

Similarly, the top three with the best results could receive rewards from Lord Yuan.

The whole process took a month.

It took such a long time to express respect for the gods and bless the longevity of the Yu Kingdom. When they arrived in Qinghe, they had to show their loyalty to the Holy Lord.

"Brother Li, who do you think will win the first prize in this autumn hunting?"

Wang Li and Li Rui rode side by side.

There are almost no weak scholars in Yu State. They don't know martial arts, but at least they are proficient in archery and horse riding.

Li Rui smiled and shook his head: "There are so many talented people in Yunzhou, how can I know."

This time.

It is said that they are talented people in Yunzhou, but in fact, many geniuses from other states have also come here.

But it is not considered to be breaking the rules. They are all big families with branches in Yunzhou, so Lord Yuan turned a blind eye.

"I think Brother Yang should be able to enter the top three."

Wang Li said while looking at Yang Heng, who was also a guest not far away.

"It is possible."

Li Rui echoed.

Yang Heng was valued by Lord Yuan and invited as a guest. His talent and bones are naturally good. It is said that he stepped into the realm of rising bright moon a few days ago, and the next step is innate.

It is quite remarkable that he is close to innate at the age of forty, and he can be said to be very proud.

Look, they all ride with their heads held high.

Just as Li Rui and Wang Li were chatting casually,

Suddenly,

they heard a rapid sound of horse hooves.

Turning his head,

he saw a sturdy man riding a blood-red demon horse passing by them like red lightning.

Wang Li smiled bitterly and said,

"This is the sixth adopted son of the Marquis, Hu Yanku."

Li Rui took a closer look.

Everyone knows that Marquis Yuan has a total of eight adopted sons, all of whom are excellent in martial arts and are fierce generals who lead troops into battle.

This time,

there are a total of three adopted sons who followed Marquis Yuan to Qinghe.

Hu Yanku, who was just seen, is one of them.

None of Marquis Yuan's adopted sons are spoiled, all of them followed the war and crawled out of the pile of dead bodies.

They are all ruthless people.

Wang Li continued, "General Huyan is indeed a fierce general, but he has a bad temper. He is known as an iron-headed leopard. Brother Li, please don't provoke him."

"Of course."

Li Rui is not idle, so why would he provoke the adopted son of the Marquis.

Don't think that they are the guests invited by Marquis Yuan.

That was Marquis Yuan's face to Yunzhou. In fact, the status of the four of them in the Marquis's mansion is not high. Marquis Yuan has been the governor for so many years, and his subordinates are of course full of talents. Even if most of them were given up after taking off their armor, the few who stayed by his side are already outstanding.

The eight adopted sons are even more brave, and they are ruthless people who followed Marquis Yuan to fight thousands of miles.

The fierce black and white evil spirits before were not killed by Yuan Xiong, who ranked eighth, with one man and one gun.

The gold content needs no further explanation.

In the evening.

The mighty group of people came to Qinghe Paddock.

Ning Zhongtian and officials from the Qinghe and Yunzhou etiquette rooms had been waiting here for a long time.

"Big brother."

Ning Zhongtian saw Li Rui and walked over.

He looked at Yuan Dingting who was surrounded by people and walked into the Qinghe enclosure, and said with a sigh: "What a grand ceremony."

This time.

There were hundreds of officials, elders and disciples of the sect accompanying him.

All of these people were elites from all over the place.

Qinghe can really be said to be a place of glory.

Li Rui smiled: "By the way, everything for the grand sacrifice is ready."

When it comes to the grand sacrifice.

Ning Zhongtian just felt a headache.

During this period of time, the old dogmas of the etiquette room were pointing fingers one by one, such as the lack of guests for the three animals, the stone platform only has eight steps, etc., which was really annoying.

He was born in the underworld and hated these red tape the most.

"Don't worry, everything will be done according to the wishes of those old guys."

Li Rui nodded: "Fourth brother, you have worked hard."

If it weren't for his elder brother, I'm afraid Ning Zhongtian would have been thrown out of Qinghe Paddock by the old men in the etiquette room one by one.

There is no way, the grand sacrifice is not really for communicating with the illusory fairy court.

It is more for showing the majesty of the royal family.

The numerous processes are to deepen people's awe invisibly.

That's all.

But this process cannot be sloppy at all, this is etiquette.

If you dare to ignore etiquette and get caught, it will be a big crime.

In the autumn of the eighty-seventh year of Tianwu.

In Qinghe Paddock, an altar was set up for a grand sacrifice, in order to pray for the prosperity of Yunzhou martial arts and the continuation of talents.

The autumn hunting sacrifice was held in Tiannan Paddock, and the holy lord of Yu State personally offered the sacrifice.

Qinghe was the substitute sacrifice.

The specifications were naturally not as high as those in Tiannan Paddock, and the three animals used were also pigs, cattle and sheep. Of course, they were all monsters of high grade, not comparable to ordinary wealthy families.

In order to find the three animals for the priest, Ning Zhongtian squatted in Shiwan Mountain for half a month.

Today.

Yuan Dingting, wearing a bright red python robe, stood alone on the nine-step stone platform, overlooking the crowd in the enclosure.

Annan Hou was originally a marquis. According to etiquette, wearing this bright red python robe was definitely beyond etiquette, but the old scholars in the etiquette room below the stage were full of respect on their faces. It was not only because of the status of Lord Yuan that they dared not speak, but also because this bright red python robe was bestowed by the Holy Lord.

There are only two people in the Yu Kingdom who have this honor.

One is Lord Yuan in front of him, and the other is Mr. Zhang, the current chief minister of the cabinet.

The two, one civil and one military, are the pillars of the empire.

No one dared to object to getting the bright red python robe.

Since it was a substitute sacrifice, everything was kept simple, without those cumbersome welcoming gods, offering jade and silk, offering sacrificial offerings, first offering, second offering, and final offering.

Otherwise, people would think that it was presumptuous.

The etiquette officer directly recited the sacrificial words.

"Heaven and earth are equal, but I admire them. I am here at the purple altar, thinking of seeking their way. I respectfully accept the sacrifices, and I am happy to be in a mess. I am embroidered all over the world, and I am the supreme god."

The words are ethereal like the sound of immortals.

No mistakes in one poem, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

One by one, the officials of the Yu State and the elders and disciples of the sect knelt on the ground, with solemn faces.

Instantly-

The shadow of a long spear surged, piercing the sky, more than ten thousand feet high, across the sky.

The aura of a martial saint!

Seeing such a spectacular scene, everyone looked up at the same time, their mouths opened wide, and they couldn't close them at all. How could this be a means that a martial artist could do? !

The top ten in the world, so terrifying.

If it weren't for being called a land immortal, what's the difference between this move and that of a real immortal? ?

The sacrificial speech paused, and the ceremonial officer looked at the huge gun curtain and was shocked and speechless.

Yuan Dingting reminded him at the right time: "Wang Liguan, continue the sacrifice."

"Yeah, uh."

Wang Liguan nodded blankly, and then continued to recite the sacrifice, but he was not as calm as before, and even had a little tremor.

Qinghe, dozens of miles away.

Whether it was the dignitaries or the common people in the city, they all looked up and saw the magnificent scene of the Qinghe enclosure.

"The Spear Immortal, it must be the Spear Immortal."

"Short-sighted, that's the method of our Marquis!"

Some Qinghe people even knelt down and kowtowed.

Those elders and disciples of the big sects who knew the situation couldn't help but kneel down one by one.

This is the effect that the sacrifice wants to achieve.

Show strength.

For ordinary people, it is a god descending to the earth, practicing metaphysics, and for the people of the sect, it is a martial saint born, practicing mechanics.

In short, a sacrifice works for everyone.

The grand sacrifice lasted for half a day.

It ended then.

After that, they fasted for a day to show respect for the ancestors and gods.

The ceremonial officer would hang a fasting sign on the left side of the tent and the house, and the fasting person had to wear a fasting sign on his waist when he went out, so that everyone could supervise each other.

In addition to not eating meat, fasting also prohibited drinking and playing music. All extravagant things were prohibited, and those who violated would be severely punished, including royal relatives and nobles.

"The food is tasteless, it's really tasteless."

The attendants delivered the food to each tent.

A bowl of rice, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, that's it.

Tan Hu was so uncomfortable eating. On weekdays, he couldn't live without wine and meat, so he couldn't get used to such light food.

Ning Zhongtian smiled and looked at Tan Hu:

"Huzi, you have improved. You follow your elder brother and can use four-character words."

Tan Hu rolled his eyes.

Li Rui chewed the food carefully and said to Tan Hu: "Huzi, if you don't eat today, go to bed. Don't make trouble, otherwise the Marquis will blame you and I can't save you."

It's okay for a warrior not to eat for a day, but if he breaks the rules, it's a big deal.

Exile is possible.

"Yes, yes, listen to my brother."

After saying that, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and prepared to get up.

But he was stopped by Li Rui: "You can live in my tent today."

Hearing this.

Tan Hu immediately cried.

The next morning.

Everyone was awakened by the crying and shouting, and they all went out to watch.

They saw that the three adopted sons of Marquis Yuan took the soldiers to the center of the camp.

"Gathering to drink and play with women, breaking the rules, they were arrested on the spot."

Some people who knew the inside story laughed and said.

In the past, Yunzhou did not allow sacrifices. Whether it was officials or sect elders, they were all lax, especially those who were accustomed to the martial arts world. But now that Lord Yuan has come, it is different.

It is like a dragon coiling and a tiger lying.

Whoever dares to break the rules will be dealt with according to the etiquette and law.

The four men's Dantian was broken, and their martial arts were completely useless.

The next step was to be exiled to the bitter cold land in the north. Without martial arts, it would be difficult to survive.

Everyone was horrified when they saw it.

Fortunately, they did not do anything beyond the etiquette, otherwise the four people in front of them would be their future fate.

After a small episode.

Take a day off.

Then it was the highlight of the autumn hunt, and Lord Yuan opened the forum to talk about martial arts.

Originally, this step could be done by the great masters in the Marquis' Mansion. The Tiannan Paddock was where Lord Dingyuan talked about martial arts on behalf of the Holy Lord.

It was only because this was the first autumn hunt in Yunzhou that Yuan Dingting personally opened the forum.

There will be no such opportunity in the future.

It was a martial arts lecture.

Naturally, there was no need to cleanse the filth, invite the gods, and pardon the sins of the three yuan like the Taoist preaching. Yuan Dingting was originally from the military, and he valued rules and ignored etiquette. After the grand sacrifice, he simplified it.

Spread a blanket directly in the center of the camp.

Everyone sat around in a circle.

It seems casual, but in fact, there is a lot of mystery.

The Marquis doesn't care, but the people who listen to Wu do. The order is of course based on status.

Li Rui is undoubtedly in the first row.

He is not strong enough, but he has the advantage of Qinghe, so he can occupy a seat.

Yuan Dingting's voice sounded slowly.

It was not loud.

But it could be clearly heard by everyone, and this move alone was amazing.

Transmitting sound with Qi!

Li Rui's heart was shocked.

"For a warrior, the most important thing is his will. Muscles and bones are the foundation, internal breath is the key, and skills are the use. If the will is not strong, it is difficult to achieve great things. Just like a tree without roots and water without a source, even if you are brave, it is difficult to last. Therefore, a warrior should have a will like a mountain and act like water, and not be moved by external things."

"."

"For a warrior, the lower grade imitates beasts, the middle grade imitates monsters, and the upper grade imitates immortals."

"The cultivation of martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. A martial saint can move mountains, walk on the sea, and kill immortals!"
