After a long time, Yan Yan opened his eyes again, and then he saw Shao Siming, Yan Lingji and others guarding him, looking at him nervously.

"Bring water!" Yan Yan's voice was a little weak. Even if he adjusted his inner breath, he would still be as weak as after the war, especially when his mouth was filled with the smell of blood.

Mo Ya hurriedly handed a kettle to Yan Yan's hand.

Yan Yan took the kettle, opened the stopper, poured water into his mouth to wash away the smell of blood, and spit it out.

"The terrible Grand Master!" Yan Yan cursed in a low voice.

Even now, he doesn't want to face a Grandmaster level master like Old Man Bailu again.

"Are you okay?" Yan Yan turned to look at Yan Lingji, Shao Siming and others, and finally looked at Dianqing, who had gauze wrapped around his hand.

"It's okay!" Yan Lingji shook her head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jianqing also shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

"Today's events must not be spread outside the country. The founding ceremony of the country will continue!" Yan Yan said seriously.

Originally, they should have gone to the center of Sanji City to hold the founding ceremony at this time, but they did not expect such a disaster. Fortunately, they did not miss the time.

"Your Majesty's injury..." Dianqing and others hesitated. The founding ceremony can be postponed. It would be bad if Yan Yan caused internal injuries again.

"All the princes and families are watching, we can't have any surprises!" Yan Yan said, taking off the broken Cangyun armor and having someone bring him a new uniform to put on.

"Here!" Dianqing and the others could only escort Yan Yan towards the central square of Third Prince City.

In the central square, envoys from various countries and experts from hundreds of schools were also waiting for Yan Yan's arrival. Just now they wanted to rush to see what was going on, but there was a sudden ban in the palace and no one was allowed to approach, so they could only Return to the scene and wait.

They were all relieved when they saw Yan Yan's car arriving from the palace.

"Something's not right!" Six-fingered Black Man and others looked at Yan Yan standing under the canopy.

Although he was standing and wearing his uniform, his palms were firmly holding the mast under the canopy, as if he was relying on the mast to stand firm.

For an expert like Yan Yan, he can stand firmly with the strength of his feet, and there is no need to use a mast to support himself.

"Don't meddle in other people's business. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it after the ceremony!" The Six-fingered Black Man whispered to stop the discussion among his disciples.

Li Mu also looked at Yan Yan with some worry, but he also suppressed his curiosity and worry and waited until after the ceremony.

"Bing Jun is here!" As the chariot walked towards the central square, the Jimo doctor who presided over the ceremony shouted loudly.

The soldiers on both sides of the road turned around, slammed their weapons on the ground, and knelt down on one knee to salute.

The driver slowly came to a stop in front of the Bingzhou tripod, which was covered with red cloth.

Yan Yan didn't let Dianqing help him, he got off the chariot and walked towards the Bingzhou tripod. Then he stood still, flicked his long sleeves, turned around vigorously, and bowed to the guests from all directions.

"Greetings to Mr. Bing!" The guests around him also stood up and returned the greeting.

"Is Bingjun okay?" Dr. Jimo, who was serving as the sacrificial wine for the ceremony, was a little worried about whether the ceremony could be completed normally, so he walked to Yan Yan and asked in a low voice. "Nothing, the ceremony will be held as usual!" Yan Yan said in a low voice.

Dr. Jimo took a deep look at Yan Yan, then returned to his seat and continued to preside over the ceremony.

The founding ceremony of the country is an auspicious ceremony among the five rites. It requires sacrifices to the gods of heaven, earth, humans and ghosts. The three steps also represent the heaven, earth and people!
Therefore, it is necessary to offer wine and pray to the jade book, to worship God Haotian, the sun, the moon and the stars, and to enlighten the heaven.

The original plan was for Yan Yan to read the Jade Book of Sacrifice to Heaven, but now, Yan Yan was unable to do it at all, so it was Dr. Jimo who read it for Yan Yan.

There was only one copy of the jade book, but Dr. Jimo recited it in a loud voice. The words on the jade book in Yan Yan's hand could not be seen at all, but there was not a single mistake.

After the more than 300-word jade book offering sacrifices to heaven was read out, the red cloth covering the Bingzhou tripod was also lifted, revealing the heavy Bingzhou tripod.

"Bing Jun and the common people of China, we pay our respects!" Dr. Jimo continued the ceremony meticulously.

Yan Yan threw the jade book in his hand towards the Bingzhou Ding, shook off the hem, solemnly returned to the Bingzhou Ding, and bowed heavily.

The guests and people all around also knelt down and kowtowed to the Bingzhou tripod.

The sacrifices to the gods were also done by the Jimo doctor. All Yan Yan had to do was to throw the jade into the river, and then lead the guests and people to worship in all directions.

Finally, there are sacrifices to human ghosts. Human ghosts are not the wild gods of the evil temples, but the emperors and sages of China such as the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, King Yu, etc.

What is different from ordinary auspicious rituals is that this time the person officiating is no longer the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but King Yu!

"The descendants of Huaxia China dare to ask King Yu to build another state on top of the nine states, add a tripod, and call it Bingzhou!" Dr. Jimo roared loudly, and his voice spread throughout the countryside.

Everyone is also concentrating and waiting for the vision of heaven and earth.

In fact, it is not inevitable that there will be any strange phenomena of heaven and earth. Even if there is just a gust of wind or a cloud passing by, it will be written down in the history books, and it will be greatly modified and polished into rare phenomena of heaven and earth.

And coincidentally, a cloud passed by, blocking the sunlight above Yan Yan's head.

"Five Emperors Canopy!" Dr. Jimo suddenly knelt down towards Yan Yan and shouted loudly.

"Ah?" Yan Yan was stunned and looked up at the clouds above his head. Isn't it normal for there to be clouds in the sky?
"The Five Emperors have appeared, and Bingjun has been recognized by the Five Emperors!" Dr. Jimo continued.

The guests all around looked at the white clouds above Yan Yan's head and fell silent, but they still knelt down in cooperation. They knew what the truth was, but the people of the entire Third Prince City and the guests who were far away didn't understand!

"A vision of heaven and earth, the five emperors' canopy appeared, blocking the scorching sun for Bingjun!"

The three of them became tigers, and with everyone talking about it, the people of Third Prince City who didn't know the reason also spread the word that it was magical, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

The more people spread the word and the more people believe it, the more people who really know the facts tell lies!
At least the historian will not be stingy about embellishments on this kind of thing. Of course, if Yan Yan does something in the future that makes people and gods angry, then what comes down will not be the canopy of the Five Emperors, but a warning from heaven and earth!

Having figured this out, Yan Yan finally understood why among the six arts of a gentleman, etiquette is the most important thing. People who haven't learned it may not be able to react like this.

However, Yan Yan was curious about how Dr. Jimo would explain it if it suddenly started raining heavily and there was lightning and thunder!
"Union the state, unite the country, unite the king, and the ceremony is completed!" The final ceremony ended, announcing the completion of the founding ceremony.

Yan Yan stood up and looked at the surrounding guests and the people of Third Prince City. Finally, the state and the country were established, and he became one of the princes!
