If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 260 Dare to bind the blue dragon
No matter how many somersaults there were, on the scheduled day, the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was still held as scheduled.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang built a circular mound outside Zhengyang Gate, on the yang side of Zhongshan Mountain, and a square mound outside Taiping Gate, on the yang side of Zhongshan Mountain.In the tenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang decreed that the sacrifices of heaven and earth should be held in Yuanqiu.

Therefore, before Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, most of the Ming Dynasty's sacrificial activities in Nanjing were held at the Circular Qiu Altar.

This time is no exception. Civil and military officials, noble relatives, and anyone in Nanjing who is qualified to participate in the festival will not be able to do so. Even if he is too sick to get up, he will let his descendants take his place. Come forward yourself.

It has nothing to do with being loyal to the Ming Dynasty or not, or having a special respect for heaven and earth, it is simply a matter of interest.

After all, if you don't attend important national ceremonial events such as the emperor's sacrifice to heaven, then you won't be able to attend anything else in the future.

Not to mention that this is a heaven-sacrifice ceremony for the emperor after his victory in the Northern Expedition. It is to reward meritorious ministers. He is absent?Then there would be no credit and no reward.

Therefore, one by one, those in Nanjing who are qualified to participate in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony all wear their court clothes neatly, and stand in a state of beastly attire, waiting for the heaven-sacrifice ceremony to be held.

Zhu Zhanquan had a lot of work today. Although it was Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, who presided over the entire heaven-sacrifice ceremony, because the suppression of human luck could only be done by Zhu Zhanquan himself, so Lu Zhen was just the master of ceremonies. , the parts that really need to be done have to be done by Zhu Zhanqi himself.

Because of this, Zhu Zhanchun's work today was not easy at all, and he even felt a little nervous.

Although he knew how to suppress human luck and had seen others do it twice in the world of immortality, Zhu Zhanquan had never actually done it.

This made him somewhat unsure, and he couldn't help but say to the dragon girl in his heart: "Qinglin, you can help me with this in a moment. If anything happens, I'll have to rely on you."

"This is not what you would say, and I have also learned about the matter of worshiping heaven and conferring gods to suppress human luck. This is not difficult, and it does not depend on cultivation level. As long as people have profound luck and blessings, even if Even a mortal can successfully suppress it step by step, why are you so nervous? Even if your cultivation is damaged, your Taoist heart will not be unstable, right?" The dragon girl was a little confused and didn't understand why Zhu Zhanqi became nervous about this matter. .

However, Zhu Zhanquan stabilized his heart a little, and then explained: "Because luck is related, my current luck is connected with the national luck of the Ming Dynasty. Now I want to use the national luck of the Ming Dynasty to suppress the luck of humanity, which will inevitably cause harm to myself. Affected, confused mood is just one of the effects I suffered.

Suppressing the destiny of humanity will itself be affected by the destiny of humanity. Being knocked down and having an unstable mood are just one of the many symptoms. Even my own destiny will be affected. If there is any accident or mistake, I would like to ask you to help me to avoid failure in this sacrifice to heaven. "

Under normal circumstances, although suppressing human destiny would be a challenge for Zhu Zhanchun, it would not be to the extent that it would destabilize his Taoist mind.

But his luck is connected with the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. This suppression of the human destiny has a great impact on the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he has also been greatly affected by the human destiny. His state of mind is disturbed, and his own destiny is disturbed. There are changes in destiny, and these can only be regarded as appetizers.

When we really start to suppress the human destiny, we will face the impact of the will of the creatures contained in the human destiny and the counterattack caused by the unwillingness of the human destiny to be suppressed. That will be the real challenge.

So just to be on the safe side, Zhu Zhanjun specifically asked Dragon Girl to prepare to take action to prevent the heaven-sacrifice ceremony from being messed up.

"How about I do it? I can use the destiny of the dynasty to suppress the destiny of humanity. Moreover, I am a dragon, so I have an advantage in resisting the influence of destiny. As long as you lend me your body, it will be fine." The dragon girl saw that With Zhu Zhanjun like this, he couldn't help but come up with a solution.

However, Zhu Zhanquan shook his head and said: "This matter is a hurdle in my spiritual practice. If I don't face it personally, it will become an obstacle for me in the future and make my mood unsatisfactory. So you can only help, but you can't." Do this for me.”

If he could do it for others, Zhu Zhanqi would certainly be willing to let others do it.

But he calculated that this incident would have a great impact on his spiritual path, not only the impact on his state of mind. Zhu Zhanqi secretly sensed that as long as he could successfully suppress the Ming Dynasty's destiny of humanity, he would be able to break through With the current pass, there is no longer any obstacle on the path of cultivation, and one can make great progress all the way to the state of spiritual training and return to the void.

Thinking back to the time when he was in the world of cultivating immortals, when he broke through the golden elixir and transcended the tribulation, he was almost killed by the heavenly tribulation, but now he could overcome these obstacles, how could Zhu Zhanquan be able to help others?
After understanding the situation, the dragon girl said nothing more and just said in Zhu Zhanjun's heart: "In that case, I will only help you protect the law."

"Sorry to trouble you." Zhu Zhanyu said thank you in his heart, and then recited the meditation mantra silently again to get rid of distracting thoughts and calm his mind. This was the method he used to calm his mind and meditate when he first embarked on the path of spiritual practice.

I originally thought that it was no longer needed, but I didn't expect that this time due to the influence of human luck, I would need to use this method to stabilize my mind.

This made Zhu Zhanju couldn't help but sigh, how long had it been since he had experienced this kind of unstable state of mind?
While Zhu Zhanquan was re-stabilizing his mind, Lu Zhen was also presiding over the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, completing the preliminarily ceremonial steps one by one. What was now going on was the stage where the emperor prayed to heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, and wished God blessings.

Originally, according to the rules, it was time to offer sacrifices and burn memorials to the heaven, but this time because of Zhu Zhanqun's intervention, nine large cauldrons arranged in sequence were placed on the top of the circular mound, and the cauldron was burning. with a special flame.

The people who had already arranged to put the grains, jade, tortoise shells and other sacrifices into the nine cauldrons respectively, and the rituals arranged in advance by Zhu Zhanquan took effect. The national destiny of the Ming Dynasty was gathering, and at the same time, the humane energy of the land of China was Luck also gathered into a blue dragon, which appeared in the sky above the circular hill. The dragon's head faced the circular hill, and the dragon's body stretched to the horizon, with no tail visible. It was a spectacular sight.

Zhu Zhanjun knew that it was his job next, so he winked at Lu Zhen, and after exchanging positions with him, he came to Zhu Di and said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to determine the destiny of the Ming Dynasty." Yongzhen’s humane destiny may bless our Ming Dynasty to be everlasting and prosperous forever!”

Zhu Di, who had already received instructions from Zhu Zhanyu, did not hesitate to follow Zhu Zhanyu's instructions and began to declare the imperial edict. At this time, he was blessed by the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. He really fulfilled the imperial edict with the heavenly constitution and the golden words in his mouth. It really has the effect of following the words.

The nine chains rising from the nine cauldrons restrained the blue dragon transformed by the human destiny in the sky. For a moment, the nine cauldrons vibrated endlessly, and the sound of ringing gold resounded throughout the fields, attracting all the courtiers and ministers who came to participate in the sacrifice to heaven. Xungui's expression changed.

When the blue dragon appeared in the sky just now, they were still surprised that Ming Dynasty was blessed by the sky, but in the blink of an eye, the emperor made nine chains to bind the dragon. What on earth was going on?
A few brave people wanted to stand up and speak out, but how could they be disturbed at this time?

Zhu Zhanjun shook off his cuffs without hesitation, and the golden armored general he had used to scare Zhu Gaoxu was thrown out again.The two god generals landed on the ground, their divine light shining brightly and their divine power scorching, which immediately frightened the officials under the circle.

At this time, Lu Zhen also hurriedly shouted loudly: "Every minister must be in his own place and must not move without permission! Anyone who oversteps his bounds will be killed!"

Originally, even if this kind of heaven-sacrifice ceremony was really disrespectful, it would not really lead to beheading. At most, it would be demotion and salary fine. But today is related to the national destiny and future of the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Di also issued a death order.

Following Lu Zhen's "cut" sound, the Jade Guards and Jinyi Guards, who were originally just ceremonial guards, unsheathed their swords and assumed a posture of killing whoever moved.

Facing the sword, the officials who originally had objections could only calm down at this moment, anxiously waiting for the end of the ceremony to sacrifice to the sky.

At this time, Zhu Zhanjun no longer had the energy to take care of other things. What was burning in the nine great cauldrons was the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. If the humane destiny could not be suppressed in time, it would be a huge loss to the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. The humane Qi The backlash caused by the failure to suppress the movement will definitely make Ming Dynasty face the disaster of national destruction.

This is also a risk that must be endured to suppress human luck, but as long as the dynasty's luck is prosperous, there is usually no problem as long as the preparations are sufficient.

Zhu Zhanquan was standing in the center of the altar at this time, manipulating the nine chains that were transformed into the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. While restraining the blue dragon transformed from the human destiny in the sky, he was also pulling it down. As long as he pulled this dragon of human destiny On the Circular Mound, one can complete the suppression of human destiny.

But how easy is it to seize humanity’s destiny?Even with the fate of the Ming Dynasty at stake, this is still a very difficult thing.

Generally speaking in the world of immortality, if a human dynasty wants to do this, the person who presides over this matter will either be the head of the dynasty himself who uses the national destiny to force the destiny of humanity, or a person with great perseverance and determination who has a strong mind and uses the supreme power to preside over the matter. Perseverance suppresses human destiny.

The former tests the luck of the dynasty, while the latter tests the character of the individual.

One must use one's mental perseverance to fight against the thoughts of the common people contained in the fate of humanity, resist the impact of the thoughts of all sentient beings with supreme determination, and use one's own will to surpass the thoughts of all sentient beings to pull the fate of humanity. Only in this way can we suppress humanity. Luck.

Originally, if you were in the world of immortality, everyone knew that the dynasty wanted to suppress the destiny of humanity, and they could gather the power of hundreds of civil and military officials to work together to restrain the destiny of humanity.

But in the Ming Dynasty, even if Zhu Zhanquan openly told everyone about this matter, these ordinary people who had never seen the supernatural would not believe it at all, and would instead refute it as heresy.

So instead of trying to convince the civil and military officials, Zhu Zhanqi simply didn't tell them what was going on.

After all, combining the power of all civil and military officials requires that all civil and military officials work together, and everyone has only one belief. For the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, this requirement is still a bit too high.

Rather than letting them hold back due to disagreements, it would be easier for Zhu Zhanquan to do this alone.

It's just that Zhu Zhanquan is not the leader of the dynasty, so it is difficult for him to use the destiny of the country to suppress the destiny of humanity. Instead, he has to rely on his personal character to resist the impact of the common people's thoughts in the destiny of humanity. This is undoubtedly a huge test for him.

Fortunately, when Long Nu saw that Zhu Zhancheng was having a hard time, she couldn't help but help him.

Although she has lost her body, the dragon girl is a real dragon after all. The aura of a real dragon is naturally compatible with the dragon of luck. Although she cannot control the actions of the Canglong transformed by human luck, she can still restrain one or two and save Zhu Zhankun. A lot of effort.

On the other side, Zhu Di was not idle at this time. He stood next to Zhu Zhanquan and pulled out the dragon-slaying sword that cut off the fate of the grassland at Langjuxu Mountain. He used this sword to point directly at the heaven where the fate of humanity was transformed. Canglong, blessed in his soul, shouted loudly: "The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there, and the country of Ming Dynasty will always be there! With the destiny of our country, the destiny of the Ming Dynasty, and the destiny of humanity!"

The leader of the dynasty, who had received the blessing of the dynasty's national destiny, naturally made his declaration a constitution. The national destiny burning in the nine cauldrons suddenly became fierce, and the pulling force generated by the nine chains also suddenly strengthened a lot.

Although he could not directly pull down the dragon of human destiny, it gave Zhu Zhanquan the opportunity and room to do something.

As he pinched the magic formula with his hands, he pushed his magic power to the extreme. While pulling on the nine chains, he also forcibly held down the Dragon of Humanity and Destiny in the sky, pulling it down by pulling and pressing it!

Seeing the Dragon of Humanity's Luck being pulled up to the circular hill, Zhu Di also felt the impact of the idea of ​​all beings contained in Humanity's Luck, which suddenly made the emperor who had spent half his life in the military feel a little distracted.

In the face of the thoughts of all sentient beings, whether they are Jindan monks or ordinary mortals, they are all affected by the thoughts of these sentient beings. Only through the protection of the dynasty and the national destiny, the impact is slightly smaller.

This point cannot be compared even if Zhu Zhanquan is Jin Danzhenren. After all, he is only a prince, and the dynasty's national destiny that he can borrow is limited.

Relying on the protection of the national destiny, Zhu Di quickly stabilized his mind, and then he was so blessed that he understood what Zhu Zhanqun was doing at the moment, so he stood beside Zhu Zhanqun without hesitation, stretched out his hand and grabbed the restraint of humanity with him. The chain of luck.

With Zhu Di's help, Zhu Zhanquan immediately felt a lot more relaxed, so he stretched out his hand and pulled all nine chains into his hands.

Then the grandfather and grandson used their strength together, and the Canglong transformed by human luck was really pulled down. In an instant, its body collapsed and was pulled into the nine cauldrons by nine chains!
The national destiny of the Ming Dynasty burning in the cauldron immediately burst into flames as if boiling oil had been poured on it, and the flames rising into the sky were several feet high!
Zhu Zhanquan hurriedly took a closer look, and the flames shot up higher and higher, and when they finally reached eleven feet, one minute shy of twelve feet, he bit the tip of his tongue cruelly, spit out a mouthful of blood, and used Use your own cultivation to make up for this difference!
In the end, the flame transformed into the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty rushed through a height of twelve feet, standing on the circular mound like nine pillars of fire reaching the sky, reaching the sky and the earth, symbolizing the prosperity of the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.
