Chapter 357 Liangfen Garden Blood Sacrifice

At dawn, Emperor Zhaoxing came to Liangfen Garden.

The members of the clan have already arrived, and they stand neatly in order, waiting in the main garden of Liangfen Garden.

Tai Bu watched quietly in the dark, all the royal family members in the capital came, except King Jin.

Why didn't King Jin come?

Could it be that some wind news has been received?
Emperor Zhaoxing stood facing the members of the clan for a moment. Hundreds of people including the clan kings, sons, and grandchildren stood facing Emperor Zhaoxing, and no one knelt down.

Emperor Zhaoxing had already prepared for this.

Members of the royal family resisted the ancient ritual most strongly.

At the beginning of the ceremony, Emperor Zhaoxing recited the prayer first.

The main purpose of this sacrifice is to promote the ancient rituals.

Today, Emperor Zhaoxing wants to let the royal clan members learn the ancient rituals first.

Learn ancient rituals in a special way.

"For the sake of the Great Propaganda Society, I will regain the way of the ancient sages, educate the stupid with the rites of the ancient sages, and educate the head of Guizhou with the methods of the ancient sages..."

Emperor Zhaoxing talked about the importance of regaining the ancient rituals, and praised the achievements of Shengen Pavilion. Finally, he hoped that the true god Canglong would send down an oracle to show that Emperor Zhaoxing had made the right choice.

Will the oracle really come down?
The members of the clan looked at the back of Emperor Zhaoxing, and everyone knew it well.

There will be an oracle, as long as the high priest is asked to say a few words at the last link of the ceremony, it will be an oracle.

What would the high priest say?
Whatever Emperor Zhaoxing asked him to say, he said.

No one would care about the "oracle" conveyed by the high priest, they could even guess the content of the oracle.

It is nothing more than the true god's recognition of ancient rituals and everything the emperor has done.

Of course, this is not an oracle, the clan has a real oracle in their hearts.

Zhao rises and falls, Li Rongwang.

This is what they saw with their own eyes in their dreams. In the past few days, they had the same dream.

King Rong is ready.

When Emperor Zhaoxing offered sacrifices to the True God of Canglong, King Rong would immediately read out the ten crimes of Emperor Zhaoxing, and King Rui would mobilize members of the clan to force Emperor Zhaoxing to abdicate.

If Emperor Zhaoxing does not obey, members of the clan will besiege Emperor Zhaoxing, not just verbally, but also physically.

They were even ready to beat Emperor Zhaoxing to death.

Are they not afraid of the emperor's minions?

Liang Jixiong is not around, and Canglongwei is almost dead, who dares to fight with clan members?
Does that servant Chen Shuncai dare?
Does that servant Gongsun Wen dare?
They dare not, not even the imperial army!

Many members of the clan secretly brought weapons into Liangfen Garden, and the imperial guards and servants did not dare to search them.

Besides, apart from Chen Shuncai and Qi Anguo, other servants and imperial guards are waiting outside Liangfen Garden, they are not eligible to participate in the sacrificial ceremony.

Forcing the emperor to abdicate, will he be charged with usurping?

will not!

Who will write down the charges of usurpation?

The officials will not, and neither will the common people. Everyone in the capital is looking forward to the disappearance of Emperor Zhaoxing, and no one wants to see the emperor who forces them to kneel.

Even the historian can only write down one thing. Emperor Zhaoxing acted against the law, and the people and gods were all angry. The true god Canglong issued an order to abdicate him!
King Rong was a little nervous, but he hid it well on the outside.

Today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Liang Xianhong's implementation of "ancient rituals" has completely aroused the anger of his subjects, and now he is forcing this stupid king to abdicate to conform to the hearts of the people.

Rong Wang Liang Xianjun is the younger brother of Emperor Zhaoxing. He was also born to the queen, and his blood is orthodox.

The faint king has abdicated, and the crown prince is far away in the north. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the king of Rong will succeed.

The most important point is that he has been recognized by the True God Canglong.

Daxuan is blessed by the True God of Canglong, and the oracle of Canglong is the highest will of Daxuan, none of them.

Compared with Liang Yuming and King Huai Liang Xiankang, King Rong undoubtedly got the best chance. He didn't need to collude with foreign enemies, and he didn't have to launch a rebellion.

And King Rong must do his own thing well - act decisively, and never cause future troubles.

King Rong subconsciously touched the dagger at his waist, and when the clan was besieging him, he would take the opportunity to kill Emperor Zhaoxing.

Liang Xianhong, don't blame me for being cruel, just blame you for your many unrighteous actions.

After Emperor Zhaoxing finished his prayer, it was time to offer sacrifices.

Liangfen Garden was originally the execution ground for officials, so offering sacrifices here naturally has a deep meaning.

Emperor Zhaoxing brought up criminals from various government departments, a total of more than [-] people, and escorted them to Liangfen Garden, where they were executed in a centralized manner, and the heads of the criminals were sacrificed to the true god.

Some of these more than [-] people committed capital crimes, some were sentenced to exile, some were sentenced to corvee labor, and some were not even convicted of crimes, but were just suspects.

It doesn't matter what the crime is. For the royal family present, they are just sacrifices to the true god.

The high priest recited the prayer, and King Rong waited for the executioner to appear.

Mere executioners are nothing to worry about, but it's best to wait until they leave the altar.

But he didn't wait for the executioner, only to see Emperor Zhaoxing wave his sleeves, the skin of the prisoner kneeling on the ground burst, blood gushed out, and the flesh and internal organs of his body fell off piece by piece.

All members of the clan were stunned, they had seen murder, even Ling Chi's torture.

But they had never seen anyone mutilate themselves in front of them. More than [-] criminals slowly melted into a ground of flesh amidst the screams.

The high priest hissed and shouted: "The true god kills the thief!"

Did the true god kill these criminals?
This sacrifice really invited the true god?
The royals are well-informed after all, and some have seen it.

This is the method of Mohism. Someone secretly used mechanism technique, but it is not known where the mechanism came from.

Tai Bu, who is hiding in the dark, knows where the mechanism comes from, the root of the mechanism, and the shackles on those prisoners.

There are extremely thin steel wires on the shackles, and the bones and flesh of the prisoner's body are strangled layer by layer by the steel wires.

Who can control such a clever mechanism?
Besides Zhong Shen, there was only one person in the capital.

The owner of the penance workshop, Ye Ansheng.

He is in Liangfen Garden.

But Taibu couldn't find his location.

After executing the prisoner, it is equivalent to offering a sacrifice to the true god, and it is time for King Rong to appear.

Emperor Zhaoxing stood on top of the altar, and King Rong stood under the altar, with the ground covered with mud between them.

King Rong took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, took a step forward, and was about to speak, but heard Emperor Zhaoxing say slowly: "Xianjun, don't worry, the sacrifices are not finished yet."

What does this mean?
What do you mean don't worry?
The emperor knows what I'm going to do?
Emperor Zhaoxing looked at Rong Wang Liang Xianjun with deep eyes, and looked at everyone in front of him.

At the secret meeting the day before yesterday, the clan kings swore an oath and made a covenant, saying that they would not share the sky with the faint king.

But today it was just a glance, and all members of the clan were avoiding the eyes of Emperor Zhaoxing.

They were afraid.

King Rong realized that the situation was not good, and he had to read Emperor Zhaoxing's crimes immediately, otherwise the royal alliance would collapse in fear.

"Hunk Lord!" Rong Wang just said two words, suddenly felt that his breath was blocked, as if something strange was growing in his mouth, blocking his throat.

A row of candles suddenly lit up in front of Emperor Zhaoxing, suspended in mid-air, very dazzling in the daytime.

Half of the candle flames were extinguished, and foreign objects emerged from the mouths of all the clans present, blocking the breath.

The members of the clan were shocked and wanted to escape, but a foreign object regenerated from the sole of their feet, which instantly burrowed into the soil, but firmly restrained everyone in place.

Everyone struggled hard, and foreign objects regenerated in the bones, which intertwined and bound all the joints.

The first joint to be locked was the knee bend, and all members of the clan knelt neatly on the ground.

The next thing to be locked was the spine. Everyone's bodies were twisted as rigidly as puppets. After bursts of crisp sounds, their spines were all broken.

But they still straightened their waists and knelt on the ground, and foreign objects replaced their spines to support their bodies.

Their necks were lifted stiffly, their facial features were distorted, and they stared at Emperor Zhaoxing with blood-red eyes.

They were alive, but only alive, they were incapacitated, unable to even blink.

Emperor Zhaoxing waved his sleeves, and the candles in front of him lit up one by one.

Every time a candle is lit, the facial and body distortions of the clan members will be reduced by one point. When the candles are more than half lit, many clan members can already move.

Seventy percent of the candles were lit, and the members of the clan were almost back to normal. They still knelt on the ground and bowed neatly to Emperor Zhaoxing.

All the candles were lit, and all members of the clan were smiling and moving in unison.

They sincerely kowtowed to Emperor Zhaoxing, and every time they kowtowed to Emperor Zhaoxing, they all shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is holy, the true God is holy!"

Seeing such a strange scene, Emperor Zhaoxing stood on the mountain of the altar with his hands behind his back, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Chen Shuncai stood behind him with a blank expression, as if he knew the inside story.

The palm print eunuch Qi Anguo stood beside Chen Shuncai, with a very strange expression on his face.

He didn't know the reason, he was very scared, but he still had to force a smile, which made his expression look hideous and funny.

Tai Bu focused the yin and yang energy in his eyes, scanning the royal family members under the altar.

He saw a tree, a huge tree.

The impermanent blood tree!
The royals were turned into a blood tree.

What binds their soles is the root of the blood tree, and their soles are already deeply rooted in the soil.

What binds their joints is the trunk of the blood tree, which supports their bodies and firmly binds their knees.

Their open arms are the roots and branches of the blood tree.

They bowed repeatedly, and it was the branches that swayed back and forth in the wind.

They shouted in unison, which was the sound of leaves in the wind.

Why did they turn into blood trees in such a short period of time.

Tai Bu looked around and found a clue.

He first saw the statue on the altar, which was not the statue of True God Canglong at all.

It was a statue of a god whose limbs and facial features could not be seen clearly, and Tai Bu did not dare to pay too much attention to that statue, otherwise he would be lost in disorder and chaos.

Around the statue, there is a huge magic circle.

The magic circle of the chaotic and impermanent way, it is this magic circle that turns more than five hundred royal family members into a blood tree.

This sacrifice has nothing to do with Canglong True God, Canglong can't perceive the existence of this sacrifice at all.

Tai Bu must leave, otherwise he will also be attacked by the magic circle.

At the moment when he gradually moved away from Liangfen Garden, he heard the voice of Emperor Zhaoxing:

"This is the power of the Son of Heaven, this is the power of the Son of Heaven, this is the way of the ancient sages and the gift of the Son of Heaven!

Pass down the decree, and the sacrifice lasts for three days, and the officials and the people of the capital are called to come here to listen to the oracle! "

If I can be promoted to the second rank this time, no one in the world will be able to compete with me.

If you can't be promoted to the second rank, let the blood tree help me to ascend to the second rank.
