Marquis of Shang

Chapter 16 Earth World (seeking further reading, seeking recommendation, seeking monthly pass)

There is no need to build special places for worship like the scholar-bureaucrats and above.

There is no need for the four seasons of the year, the vernal equinox to worship the sun, the summer solstice to worship the land, the autumnal equinox to worship the moon, and the winter solstice to worship the sky, and to worship according to the strict sacrificial system.

……

Just when Huangshi Xiaoyi was preparing to start the autumn harvest.

Chen Da, the commander of the cavalry who had been away for half a month, returned to Huangshi Xiaoyi with a troop of cavalry in a travel-stained manner, and handed over a bamboo slip sealed by the power of the totem to Chen Qingxiang.

Using the spirit of the totem to undo the totem ban, Chen Qingxiang smiled after reading the information on the bamboo slips.

Sure enough, the mother's mother who died early in the previous life is now the head of the family, and the uncle of the previous life is still ready to support this nephew who has a slight hope of inheriting the honor of scholar-bureaucrat.

……

After burning this bamboo slip to ashes, Chen Qingxiang started to get busy.

Just in the midst of autumn harvest, tax collection, granary counting and so on.

The time has come to August [-]th in this world.

In this world, there is no Mid-Autumn Festival before Chen Qingxiang traveled on August [-]th.

Instead, it is the Moon Festival.

On the festival of offering sacrifices to the moon, in order to report the ripening of the five grains.

And members of the clan like Chen Qingxiang, by the way, sacrificed to the ancestors under the nine springs of the earth.

At night, Haishi.

Round square.

Countless people and slaves watched from outside the square.

Chen Qingxiang was dressed in the ancient costume of the lord of the town, and stood in the center of the square with Wu Chenfang.

In the small town of Huangshi, Chen Fang, the witch, chanted the ancient oration of offering sacrifices to the moon.

Under the moonlight, the three animals used in the sacrifice began to shrink and dry up.

When Wu Shou Chen Fang stopped his voice, the three animals had already been reduced to ashes.

And just after that.

Ten five or sixty-year-old men wearing battle armor, holding battle swords, and excited expressions.

Under Chen Qingxiang's greeting, he walked out of the crowd and came to the square.

Among the ten old people, five still had the gray brand of slaves of the tenth generation on their foreheads.

But there are five people and five slaves.

……

Seeing the ten people coming forward, most of the people and slaves in the crowd showed envy, wishing to replace them.

Looking at this scene, Chen Qingxiang knew that he was envious of these ten old people.

This is death as life.

But the mythical giants in this world are not superstitious or ignorant.

It is really that after the body dies, it can live a new life.

Even live longer after death.

Chen Qingxiang, who was dressed in the lord's costume, communicated with the spirit of the totem.

First tilt a full bronze wine bottle, and spill the fragrant wine in it.

Then he spit out a sound like an elephant's cry, blessed with the power of the spirit image totem, and recited the ancient sacrificial rites to worship the ancestors.

In a good year, there are many crops and crops.

There are also Gaolin.

Trillions and Zi.

For wine and sweet wine.

Steam to the ancestral concubine.

To get a hundred gifts.

Congratulations to Kong Jie.

And as Chen Qingxiang recited the ancient sacrificial rites, ten old men in full armor.

Also recite the ancient sacrificial scriptures together.

It's just that while reciting the ancient sacrificial rites, the ten old men began to disappear one by one, as if they were receiving invisible power.

Chen Qingxiang used the power of the spirit image totem as a guide.

Immediately, the temperature of the entire square suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees.

A hall that shines brightly, like the palace of the fairy palace, slowly rises from under the earth and appears on the square.

Chen Qingxiang's predecessor, Lao Tzu, took the main seat of the palace, and a group of soldiers who looked like heavenly soldiers and generals stood on both sides.

Numerous maiden-like women are waiting on the side.

And as this scene appeared.

Outside the square, everyone and slaves were extremely excited.

All the people, the slaves, were talking to each other in low voices.

"Look, the general next to the Divine Master is my grandfather who was with the Divine Master half a year ago."

"Hmph, my father is also here..."

……

Just when the people and slaves outside the square watched the palace appear and started talking about it.

On the square, the ten old men who were reciting the ancient sacrificial rites all disappeared at this time.

And within the palace that came out of the ground.

Chen Qingxiang's predecessor, Lao Tzu, a group of soldiers, generals, and goddesses, all showed enjoyment on their faces at this moment.

It's like eating some delicious food.

It was not until several breaths later that the spirits in the palace looked at Chen Qingxiang in the center of the square with unsatisfied interest.

And this time.

Among the ten old people who disappeared, six of them reappeared in the square.

The six people who reappeared are all wearing battle armor and holding battle swords, and they have returned to their appearance in their prime.

And watching the six people reappear, outside the square, some people were happy and some were disappointed.

Each of the six people turned towards the outside of the square, as if they had said something, and then, wearing armor and holding swords, they stepped into the palace that appeared one by one.

As the six people stepped into the palace, the palace immediately sank into the ground and disappeared.

The lowered temperature on the square recovered.

In the eyes of Chen Qingxiang who is connected to the spirit of the totem.

Whether it is the palace, or its predecessor, Lao Tzu, all the warriors, including the six warriors who reappeared.

They are all illusory, just the body of ghosts.

There are three worlds in this world.

Heaven, earth, earth.

And the place where the palace is located is called the earth world by the great merchant who ruled this world, the place where the earth is underworld.

Sentient beings, where is the destination after death.

The reappearance of six old ghosts on the square represents that these six people have successfully transformed into ghost soldiers and ghost generals with wisdom in life, and they have been born relatively superior to ghosts.

The four ghosts of the old man who did not appear were the failure of the sacrifice. At this time, I am afraid that they have randomly turned into one of the godless and ignorant ghosts in the earth world.

……

With the end of the festival.

Only then did Chen Qingxiang relax again.

At this time, Chen Qingxiang was only three days away from the crossing, and it would be three and a half months.

The next day, early in the morning, after the inspection drill, the training room in the main courtyard of the Lord's mansion.

Inside the three-inch stone seal, two drops of innate good fortune liquid circulated.

But at this time, in Chen Qingxiang's body, the three spirit-like qi and blood circulated outside the route.

The fourth route of spiritual energy and blood was also fully formed at this time.

Along with the internal organs, the fourth spirit qi and blood formed, which meant that Chen Qingxiang had practiced the fourth level of spirit breathing.

To be able to cultivate so quickly into the fourth level of Spirit Elephant Breathing Art.

This is because half of the aura qi and blood in the first and second levels are anti-innate.

With this kind of situation, there is also the permanent proof of the seal of innate good fortune, the help of the power that will never go back, and the memory of the previous body's practice.

Chen Qingxiang was able to make the third and fourth levels which were several times more difficult than the first and second levels.

It only took less than two and a half months to cultivate successfully.

And with the success of this fourth level of cultivation, Chen Qingxiang knew that it was time to use the congenital fluid again.

Between thoughts.

One of the two drops of the innate good fortune liquid in the three-inch innate good fortune seal circulated between Chen Qingxiang's thoughts and merged into Chen Qingxiang's whole body.

Immediately, among Chen Qingxiang's internal organs, the rest of the spiritual image qi and blood cultivated the day after tomorrow, and the third and fourth levels of the spiritual image breathing skill.

At this moment, everything is rebellious against nature, everything is as natural as it is.

Among the entire five viscera, those areas of the viscera that have been cultivated by the first four levels of the Spirit Elephant's Breathing Skill are all against the innate.

　That sacrificial oration is Zhou Song Fengnian in the Book of Songs, and I only changed one word.
