There are snowflakes in the sky, but it can't dampen the enthusiasm of the people at all, because the long-awaited ceremony of sealing the land is finally here!
The location of the establishment is at the source of the Longteng River, the holy land of Dayu, crossing the heavenly ladder!
The Hengduan Sky Ladder is a cliff with a very smooth cross-section, as if it had been neatly trimmed, but the reason why it is called the Sky Ladder is that the cliff wall that it extends from the ground is not vertical, but like a giant staircase. One step up, one step up, there are nine steps in total!
Legend has it that this is the place where the gods ascended to the sky, and the ninth-order ladder is the miracle left by the gods after ascending to the sky!
Under the ladder is the source of the Longteng River. It is said that when the god ascended to the sky, the tears shed because of his unwillingness to give up his beloved turned into a river. There are dense clouds on the ladder, and it is said that it can lead directly to the palace of the goddess.
Because the starting point of the Grand Canal is here, the grand canal sealing ceremony will also be held here, and the legend of Heng Duan Tian Lai is a goddess, so every time a big sacrifice is held here, a woman is required to preside.
Gong Yimo was wearing a complicated palace attire. During the process of going up the mountain, she opened the curtain and looked at the sky.
It was already afternoon, but the visibility was not high. Many people were already waiting at the sacrifice platform of the Hengduan Sky Ladder. They threw the paper-folded lotus off the cliff and prayed for themselves before the ceremony of sealing the soil. In the New Year, everyone brings good wishes and hopes to take advantage of this auspicious day to be blessed.
Countless ministers and nobles have all arrived, but today, they traveled in a simple manner, all stood beside the sacrificial altar, looking at the wooden altar that had been erected for nearly 400 years, with a solemn expression.
Speaking of which, this altar is even longer than the national history of the Great Yuguo! And they looked solemn because the founding queen of the Great Yuguo, an admirable woman, jumped from this place. For fifty years later, the founding emperor never allowed anyone to come here. Later, he Dead, here is reopening!
When the emperor and his concubines arrived, everyone knelt down to greet them. Everyone wore dark clothes and walked to the sacrifice platform with serious expressions.
The emperor took the stage first, and Shen Sheng announced the start of the ceremony. Everyone present bowed their heads and bowed their heads. At the side of the stage were the ministers, then the forbidden army, and the outermost circle was the common people.
"Today is auspicious! In this sacrifice to the sky, the Zetian Dayu Canal has been completed. From then on, the weather will be good for all the people!"
The officials shouted, and everyone took out a pearl that had been prepared for a long time, held it up, and faced the emperor's direction.
After the emperor is the crown prince. The crown prince has done a good job in building the canal, so today's ode to the heavens is read by him. After he read it, Gong Yimo appeared!
For today's event, everything was kept simple under Gong Che's arrangement. Gong Yimo only had to hold the pearl in his hand, kowtow in three steps, and finally go to the edge of the cliff and throw the pearl in his hand! This matter is fairly simple, Gong Yimo breathed a sigh of relief.
There are people around. Although this ceremony is simple, it is also solemn. Everyone looks at her seriously, because in the hearts of everyone, this ladder seems to be the closest place to the gods, and all filth is not allowed. Before coming here Not only do you have to bathe and change clothes, but you must also become a vegetarian three days in advance, so you can't be sloppy at all.
Gong Yimo knelt down.
There are people on both sides of the wooden sacrificial platform, including Jin Yun and Longcheng Tingxue, and there is a road in the middle paved with white brocade, from a distance, it seems that it can really reach the sky.
She bowed, then took three steps forward and knelt down again.
From the moment she got off the chariot, her feet couldn't be stained with any dust. The morning before she came, she soaked in the water, burned incense and bathed, and she… bowed again.
At this time, Longcheng Tingxue's eyes became very resentful when he looked at her. Even if Gong Yimo didn't look directly, he could feel it. Yes, even though it took three steps and one bow, it was also an honor. In itself is an honor above faith!
The status of this ladder to sacrifice to the roof is equivalent to Lou Ye's holy lake. How could she not be jealous
Gong Yimo smiled and bowed again.
At this moment, her heart became especially calm. During this time, she really didn't like the way she was trapped in mud algae. The cold wind on the Hengduan ladder was blowing, which made people sober, and she could see clearly. , once again see his own appearance.
She... shouldn't be a person who is deeply in love.
The crown on the head lightly touched the white brocade on the ground, and the smooth and cold hand made people feel refreshed.
At this time, the people on the altar had already left, and they were replaced with new ground brocade, which was completely white, covering all the wooden boards below, and there was a feeling that there was nothing at all.
She smiled slightly, and finally, stepped up.
The altar was built so long ago that there was a "creaky" sound when she stepped on it, so she couldn't help but lighten up her strength and was about to step up with her other foot, and at this time, a voice suddenly came from the crowd laugh.
"It's ridiculous, in such a sacred place as the altar of the ladder, you actually let an extremely filthy woman go there?"
Gong Yimo's gaze crossed the crowd and landed on that person exactly. At this sight, he felt like he knew each other
Gong Jue's eyes turned cold, and almost the next moment, he was ready to let the Imperial Army kill that person!
At this time, Gong Sheng said quickly, "The altar cannot kill people!"
This is an iron rule! It is an iron law left by the founding emperor and must be obeyed!
Gong Jue narrowed his eyes, stared at the man in Tsing Yi, and said solemnly, "Drag it!"
But the man in Tsing Yi smiled and pulled out a sword, scare the surrounding people away, and made a way!
"I'll leave after I say what I want to say, don't force me to kill!"
Gong Sheng's face was like water, he was thinking about whether to break the ring, but he glanced at Gong Yimo, his daughter should have no reason to catch it!
At this moment of hesitation, the man in Tsing Yi showed a successful smile and walked to the person step by step.
"I said, she, the princess of Dayu, looks noble, but inside is dirty!"
"you wanna die!"
Gong Che suddenly said, "Father, do you want to allow this person to confuse the public here?"
"Am I courting death?" The man in Tsing Yi saw that everyone around him was intrigued by his explosive news. There were many people who wanted to see Gong Yimo miserable. As long as he added a fire, he wouldn't worry about burning too much!
"Everything I'm going to say next is true! If you say anything false, you will be punished!"
He said this, and people couldn't help but believe him a lot. This was originally an era of full-name belief, and it was in a sacred place like the Sacrificial Sky Terrace. How could he dare to lie
Gong Sheng was still hesitating, but at this time, the man had already pointed at Gong Yimo and spoke coldly, and his voice was so loud that everyone could hear it clearly!
"This person, this seemingly high-sounding woman, is secretly having an affair with her own younger brother! Tell me, is such a woman qualified to be on this platform?"
His words caused an uproar!
