A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 574: Sacrifice to Heaven, Divine Artifact of Destiny

There have been severe droughts in the world for many years. In the 13th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong. There was even a severe drought in the Luoyang Basin and Nanyang.

The drought is serious, but fortunately, the imperial court has always built Changpingcang. Officials in other places may embezzle Changpingcang, but Guanzhong and Luoyang are both royal confidants, so naturally this will not be the case.

But the problem is that the Luoshui River is cut off, the Yellow River is cut off, the water level of the Huaihe River is also in danger, and water transportation is interrupted.

Luoyang City has a population of hundreds of thousands, plus a million people nearby. A lot of supplies are needed every day.

As the center of Daqian, it needs to transport materials from various places every year, and most of them are transported by water. However, now that there is a severe drought in the world, water transportation has been interrupted. There will be big problems in the lives of millions of people around Luoyang.

All kinds of materials are transported along the river, but the supply is still insufficient.

Although the Chidao in Luoyang was well built back then, how many people were there in Luoyang at that time? Three to four hundred thousand. Later, as the population increased, the imperial court dug canals for water transportation. However, Chidao has not been expanded, and now there is a shortage of supplies in Luoyang.

Daqian's destiny has become like a candle in the wind, which seems to be extinguished when a gust of wind blows. Not long ago, the direct descendants of the royal family received warnings from their ancestors and ancestors of the First Emperor, and the Daqian royal family was already preparing for a retreat.

Although they knew that their destiny was about to end, there were still many people in the Daqian royal family who were unwilling to give up.

After four hundred years of great work, how could it be so easy to let go?

It's just that Daqian's destiny is approaching. If he wants to continue it, he will have to go against nature. Going against nature requires extremely powerful talents and abilities.

How can it be so easy for man to conquer nature?

Zhuge Wuhou was extremely talented and talented. He wanted to go against the will of heaven, but in the end he was still defeated by the sky and died of illness in Wuzhangyuan. In this world, only Zi Jue and the Son of Destiny from the Huai Kingdom period are the only ones who can succeed against the odds.

But now, the way of heaven is becoming more and more perfect, and it will be more difficult to go against heaven.

"no!"

"Why not!" Several royal family members were arguing in Shangyang Palace.

"The people of the world are in dire straits. The royal family has always put the people first and the Xia first. Why is it unwilling to use the divine weapon of destiny this time?" Emperor Wang Jian, who was wearing a royal robe, said calmly.

Several royal children nearby wanted to dissuade him, but they were speechless.

"Huanghuang Daqian, we relied on the protection of our ancestors to enjoy the national destiny for four hundred years, but now we need to go forward on our own."

"But even so, Your Majesty should not use the Divine Artifact of Destiny!" Everyone urged.

"It is difficult for mortals to control the power of heaven. If it were not for me, the head of the Wang family, I am afraid that if you use it, you will be dead and come back!" Wang Jian shook his head and said.

"Besides, as the head of the Wang family, I naturally want the head of the family to make decisions!"

Wang Jian overcame all opinions and decided to use the divine weapon of destiny to save the people of the world.

In the cave world, Zijue and Wang Luo looked at the scene in Shangyang Palace. Wang Luo sighed slightly: "Why is this so!"

"This is their own choice." Zijue said lightly.

"Although they are my descendants and your descendants, they are also independent people with their own ideas. Since the younger generations want to work hard, let them work hard. If they always rely on their ancestors, then they and the puppets What's the difference?"

Wang Jian overcame everyone's objections and ordered a high platform to be built outside Luoyang City. He wanted to personally offer sacrifices to heaven to bring peace to the world. When this edict was issued, many people in the court were a little confused, but soon they seemed to think of something again, and everyone became a little uneasy.

Many people want to know whether the magic of the royal family is true or false, but they are afraid of how they will face it if it all becomes true.

The people in Luoyang City had simple thoughts. They all hoped that the royal family's sacrifice to heaven would be successful and the world would become peaceful.

The imperial court issued an order and recruited tens of thousands of people to build the altar day and night. Tens of thousands of people built a platform on the banks of the Luoshui River. It only took three days to build an altar large enough.

Wang Jian summoned his ministers and went to Luoshui to offer sacrifices to heaven.

Along the Luoshui River, there was a sea of ​​people. More than 100,000 people gathered here, and 30,000 Yulin guards were on guard here. Everyone's eyes are focused on the high platform.

Wang Jian wore Yanfu and slowly climbed onto the high platform. On the high platform, five-color flags and flags were fluttering in the wind. The three animals and six animals were ready. Wang Jian lit the incense and then burned the prayers to offer sacrifices to heaven.

After completing this, I took a deep breath, took out the Astronomical Phenomena Heavy Rain Card, which I had already prepared, and then chose to use it.

Along with a golden light rising into the sky, the originally clear sky and the scorching sun suddenly became violently windy.

The five-color flags on the altar roared, and in the sky, billowing dark clouds gathered from the horizon. In just a moment, the entire sky was covered by dark clouds.

Along with a thunder, big raindrops fell, and the dry land ushered in a long-awaited heavy rain.

On the banks of the Luoshui River, countless people were shocked when they saw this scene, and the next second they knelt in the mud and shouted loudly: "God bless you, your majesty may you live long and prosperous!"

The ministers who were closer to the altar could see it more clearly. They saw that just because the emperor's sacrifice to the sky was completed, the sky immediately became covered with dark clouds and it rained heavily.

Everyone was confused: "Does this Daqian still have destiny, and the royal family still belongs to destiny?"

Many officials above the Daqian court have placed more emphasis on their respective orthodox schools and no longer put the royal family first. But after seeing everything in front of him, everything in the Confucian classics family seemed to be no match for this destiny.

Many ministers who originally had different ideas became more honest one by one.

Wang Jian looked at the heavy rain and the performance of everyone, and he felt relieved. As long as people's hearts are still there, Daqian will continue.

If people's hearts are separated, then it will be the death of me.

The destiny artifact used by Wang Jian actually contains the destiny purple energy, but the amount is different. For example, the best destiny artifact is equivalent to a complete destiny, so it can go against heaven.

But low-level destiny artifacts like the Rainfall Card contain only a trace of destiny purple energy. Moreover, continuing the destiny requires consuming more destiny purple energy.

The area covered by this heavy rain was not large, only a thirty-mile radius of Luoyang. It can only relieve the drought in Luoyang, while Guanzhong, Nanyang and other places are still suffering from severe drought.

Wang Jian's eyes flashed with determination. He knew very well the consequences of continuing to use the Divine Artifact of Destiny. However, using this weapon alone could only unite the hearts of Luoyang, but it could not solve the drought, and the world would still not change.

Working together, people also need to eat.

After seeing the rainfall, Wang Jian's heart moved slightly and he activated several other rainfall cards. The dark clouds that originally only enveloped Luoyang expanded rapidly, and then enveloped Guanzhong and Nanyang as well.

It rained heavily.
