The Tianqi Soul Sacrifice is held every sixty years.
It has the meaning of offering sacrifices to the heroic spirits in the ancient city of Chao Di, and it also has the meaning of going up to heaven to offer sacrifices to the White Emperor.
This day is the most solemn ceremony of the Tianqi royal family.
All members of the royal family and those with the blood of the White Emperor in their bodies must attend the ceremony.
For the royal family, this day is a day of worshiping the heavens. For the monks in the four regions and one sea of Xianyun Realm, it is the day when the ancient city of Chao Di opens.
At midnight in the early morning, the melodious sounds of chimes and phoenix flutes had already spread from the palace and resounded throughout the entire imperial city.
All the monks in the imperial city heard the melodious and melodious sounds of the sacrificial music.
Kong Jin walked out of the house early and stood in the open space in front of Qingyun Hall together with Cong Yun, Han Honghua and Shangguan Yuzhou.
Listening to the loud and urgent sounds of ritual and music in their ears, the four of them looked in the direction of the palace with solemn expressions.
Because the four of them all know that when the ceremony ends, the ancient city of Chaodi opens.
Kong Zhen looked at the palace with a pair of deep eyes, recalling in his mind the words Princess Qing said when she summoned him a few days ago.
On this trip, the five of them entered the ancient city of Chaodi. Only Kong Jiang knew how dangerous it was, and he was tossing and turning over it in the past few days.
"Opportunity is secondary, I just hope nothing big happens."
Thinking silently in his heart, Kong Ji turned his eyes and looked at the three people beside him.
Because they didn’t know the truth about Prince Yaoyun, Cong Yun, Han Honghua and Shangguan Yuzhou all looked calm.
The expressions of the two militants, Han Honghua and Shangguan Yuzhou, even showed excitement that could not be concealed, and they were eager to try.
Seeing this, Kong Zhi was silent for a moment, and suddenly a relaxed smile appeared on his face and he asked casually: "Do you still remember what I told everyone yesterday?"
"Remember? ! Remember! Don't worry, Sister Hua is very safe." Han Honghua waved her hand to indicate that she understood.
On the other hand, Cong Yun is a real person. He clasped his hands and responded seriously: "When encountering an irresistible crisis, I will sacrifice the scroll handed over by Princess Qing, and then activate the order of inheritance to leave the ancient city of Chaodi."< br>
As he spoke, Cong Yun shook his head with emotion: "I'd rather trouble Princess Qing to bother you. That scroll is not a mortal thing at first glance, so I deserve it."
"What's the trouble? Princess Qing is Junior Brother Kong's mistress and an elder! You are Kong's good friend. You will have to help in Chaodi Ancient City when the time comes. Isn't it right to give you something to save your life?" Shangguan Yuzhou smiled nonchalantly, hooked Congyun's shoulder and said with a smile: "When the time comes, I may have to rely on the master's Buddhist skills to help."
Congyun first accepted Princess Qing's advice. Two Buddhist relics, an ink scroll painted by Princess Qing herself, and the free eating and drinking at the Princess' Mansion for the past year.
Naturally, he would not refuse this request. He responded with a serious look on his baby face: "If you have a request, you must give it your all!"
Kong Ji knew Cong Yun too well. Well, although this fair-weather monk doesn't abide by Buddhist rules on weekdays, he actually does it when things happen.
So after hearing his affirmative answer, I felt relieved, and the smile on my face did not diminish. I continued: "Master's mother's scroll can only be used once, and can only be used in times of crisis. You should be cautious. "
"I understand, I have remembered Princess Qing's kindness!" Han Honghua nodded solemnly.
When she returned from Qingyun Palace that day, Princess Qing handed Kong Fu five scrolls.
She wrote it all herself with magical powers.
Everyone had just one share, and Kong Xian handed it to the four of them respectively.
Kong Ji has seen the power of Princess Qing's scroll, and even the day and wind can't do anything about it.
No one can survive under the scroll of Princess Qing.
With Princess Qing’s picture scroll, this is also one of the reasons for Kong Ji to enter the ancient city of Chaodi this time.
“Master’s wife is interested!” Kong Ji reached into his storage bag and grabbed the scroll in his hand, breathing a sigh of relief.
The whole five scrolls must have consumed a lot of Princess Qing's energy and resources. That is to say, Kong Xian and Huangfu Wuqin had great reputations, and it would be difficult for anyone else to get a scroll.
Thinking of this, Kong Qin's cold eyes looked towards the direction of the palace again, and murmured: "I don't know how Junior Sister Huangfu is doing."
Huangfu Wuqin is also a member of the royal family.
She had to be present for the soul sacrifice in the imperial city. Not only her, but her mother Princess Qing also went to the palace early to watch the ceremony.
Before entering the ancient city of Chaodi, Princess Qing was giving instructions. Huangfu Wuqin must have listened to a few words.
There is also Dapeng, which cannot stay in the imperial city at all. Yesterday, I told it not to run around, but today it disappeared again.
But it carries the order of inheritance, so as long as it is within the scope of the imperial city, there will be no problem.
On the other side, inside the palace.
The white stairs rise from the ground and stretch thousands of feet into the void of the palace.
At the end of the stairs is a bronze tripod with three legs and two ears.
In the cauldron, there is a dense and colorful sparkle, which cannot be seen through.
A heroic man dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe with a fur crown walked up the white jade staircase. He had a long beard and his eyes were indifferent. Occasionally, he glanced down, and his eyes looked down on all living beings.
This person is Emperor Kangren of Tianqi.
The biological father of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, the Ninth Five-Year Plan of Tianqi.
At the bottom of the stairs, all the princes, princes, princes, princesses, and members of the Tianqi royal family who have the blood of the emperor in their bodies are all gathered around. There are hundreds of people.
The leader is the prince who is dressed in a five-clawed dragon robe.
Prince Qingluan, Princess Qing, the Second Prince, and Huangfu Wuqin stood on both sides of him.
Everyone looked solemnly at Emperor Kang Ren who was walking towards the white jade staircase.
Until he walked to the bronze tripod.
Emperor Kang Ren first bowed respectfully towards the bronze tripod, and then gently scratched his forehead.
Boom! A bright golden light instantly bloomed at the top of the white jade stairs.
The blinding brilliance flooded the bronze tripod and swallowed up all the white jade steps.
After a long time, the golden light converged, and a drop of golden blood was placed in the palm of Emperor Kang Ren's hand.
At this point, Emperor Kangren turned around, his golden pupils looked down at the people below, and his powerful voice spread throughout the imperial city.
"With the emperor's blood as a gift!"
The words fell.
The royal family members below all scratched their eyebrows.
Boom boom boom! Drops of golden blood bloomed under the white jade stairs, like a golden ocean.
Then drops of blood flew uncontrollably towards the end of the white jade stairs, into the hands of Emperor Kang Ren.
The golden light in his hand shone even brighter.
Like a golden sun, rising slowly in the palace.
All the monks in the imperial city saw the golden sun.
Kong Geng is no exception.
He saw a figure stepping out from the golden sun.
His whole body is bursting with gold. He is wearing a familiar yellow robe with dragon patterns and a crown with twenty-four beams reaching the sky.
Boom! The moment he walked out of the sun, the world was silent.
Even the breeze blowing in the void of the imperial city, the fallen leaves falling from the trees in the city, and the water in the moat seemed to have stopped at this moment.
The golden light in the imperial city almost turned into substance, it was so scorching hot that even the palm-born power felt horrified under the golden light, giving people the feeling that they could not look directly at it.
At this moment, everyone who was watching subconsciously lowered their heads.
Kong Zhen did not dare to look. He even felt that if he looked directly at that figure, he would probably have a more miserable outcome than when he looked at the black mountain snake.
Kong Jin did not dare to have a trace of blasphemy in his heart, and secretly exclaimed: "This is the Human Emperor Baidi!"
I had seen the second prince activate before in the Cangwu Sect. The Human Prince, a similar shadow appeared at that time.
But that time, it was obvious that there was no such domineering presence in the imperial city now.
Golden light bathes the entire imperial city.
This is not the Bai Emperor himself, but the spirituality left by the White Emperor in the Xianyun Realm stirred up by the many bloodlines of the royal family.
If this person were to show up, who knows what kind of terrifying vision it would cause in this world.
Kong Chi is not the only one who is frightened by this.
The monks who came to Tianqi from the Four Realms and One Sea, as well as the monks from other worlds who were secretly lurking in the imperial city, were also horrified.
Let you be the best in heaven, let you create life or create mystery.
When they see that figure, they will lower their heads subconsciously.
At this time, his eyes moved to the top of the green mountains with tall pines outside the imperial city.
There are three figures standing on it that look like they are not from Tianqi.
The leader was covered in a strange black mist, making it impossible to see his true appearance.
Only the two people on his left and right sides could see his appearance clearly.
A man and a woman, both covered in animal skins, lowered their heads, not daring to look at the golden shadow in the rising sun.
Only the man in the black mist did not lower his head, as if he was spying on something.
But he finally suffered the consequences.
Even from such a long distance, the moment his eyes came into contact with the golden shadow.
The black mist covering his whole body collapsed instantly.
Revealing a tall figure.
His whole body was outlined with black tattoos, and his facial features were covered with black tattoos, with no clean area visible.
I can barely tell that he is a teenager.
The tattoos are not birds or animals, I can’t figure out what they are.
However, the tattoos exposed are twisted and evil. One look at them, and even the soul cannot be drawn into the horror.
The moment when his true appearance is revealed. puff! A mouthful of black blood spurted out from the boy's mouth, as if he had been seriously injured.
Not only that, the boy's body began to collapse.
Bang bang bang! Cracks burst from his skin.
It covered his whole body like a spider web, and it had a tendency to spread crazily. Under the cracks, you could even see the bones and internal organs under the flesh and blood.
"Wata Kasuo!" The young man's situation shocked the two people standing beside him to scream in Gujiang language, with anxious expressions on their faces.
But they could do nothing but scream.
Seeing that the boy's physical body was about to collapse.
Suddenly, the tattoos on his body seemed to come alive.
Tentacles grew out of the young man's collapsed flesh and blood, sewing his flesh and blood together that were about to collapse, and forcibly stopped the trend of collapse.
Black mist rose from his body again, covering his whole body.
This time the young man chose to lower his head. After all, he did not dare to look directly at the figure in the void.
However, under the black mist, the crazy voice of the young man could be heard, vaguely tinged with some sense.
"Jie Jie, this remnant of the White Emperor will one day be swallowed up by the Witch God!"
The eyes returned to the imperial city.
The golden shadow stepped out of the golden sun for only a moment.
Kong Jin felt a faint trembling movement in his storage bag.
"Huh?" Kong Zhi hummed in confusion before he lowered his head to check.
Phew! A stream of light flew out of the Qiankun bag.
Looking closely, it is the order passed down by Kong Xian that was kept in the Qiankun bag.
Now the surface of its simple token was also dyed with golden light, and it flew into the void in front of Kong Ji and stopped flying.
In the same situation as Kong Geng, there are Han Honghua, Shangguan Yuzhou and Congyun.
Four handed down orders floated in front of the four people.
The golden light on their surfaces seems to have the same origin as the golden light covering all directions.
They are not the only ones who have the Orders flying out. As long as the monks in the entire imperial city hold the Orders, the Orders in their pockets are attracted by the golden light in the sky.
Tokens are suspended in the air.
Then everyone was surprised.
Swish, brush, brush!
The brilliance on the order suddenly soared and turned into a pillar of light reaching into the sky.
Looking from a distance, you can see a hundred tiny light pillars rising into the sky from the handed down order in front of the holder of the order.
Finally, the beams of light gathered together and flew towards the looming shadow of the emperor standing proudly on the top of the palace.
Fifth Princess Mansion, in front of the clearing of Qingyun Hall.
Kong Ji’s eyes reflected beams of light all over the sky, and his pupils were deep.
The existence of the moiré monument allowed him to see things that others could not.
Just talking about the cloud pattern tablet that belonged to him in front of him, at that moment when the brilliance soared into the sky, he could clearly see the gold and white luck that belonged to him above his head and trembled. .
It seems that a ray of golden luck has been pulled away, and it converges along the light beam of the cloud pattern monument towards the hand of the golden shadow on the sky.
Because there is too little luck that has been taken away, it is extremely difficult to detect without careful observation.
Seeing this scene, Kong Xian recalled in his mind the conversation he had with the prince in Qinchun Garden, with a thoughtful look on his face: "This is what the prince said, borrowing the luck of all living beings." To nourish the country's luck."
Because it was not just him who was deprived of his luck, but also Shangguan Yuzhou, Han Honghua, and Cong Yun beside him.
Kong Xian believed that the monks who held the order of passing down the world had all their luck taken away by the order.
After all, the original intention of building the ancient city of Emperor Chao was Bai Emperor’s means to preserve the destiny of Tianqi.
In response to the prince's words, 'When the fortune of the dynasty is at its peak, the fortune will be dispersed in the world and shared with the people. When the luck is not strong, the luck of the people is used to nourish the luck of the country. ’
Anyone who can hold the order handed down from generation to generation is not one who is extremely lucky.
Having a wisp taken away from each person is a good luck for ordinary people. Although the number is not large, it is much if they are gathered together.
And it has been like this for thousands of years.
“It’s no wonder that Tianqi can stand for thousands of years.”
Kong Zhi looked at the pillars of light that filled the sky carrying the luck of the order holder, and marveled at Bai Emperor’s methods.
Thoughts just started in Kong Xian’s mind.
The brilliance that burst out from the Legendary Order has all fallen into the hands of the White Emperor's shadow.
Finally, they gathered into a golden fruit-like object, with a bright golden light and a strange rhythm.
The moment when the fruit has just solidified.
Ouch! Kong Ji seemed to hear an earth-shattering dragon roar in a trance.
After the sound, Kong Ji’s pupils shrank suddenly.
He saw the shadow of Ichijo slowly raising his head from inside the palace.
It is completely illusory, seeming real and imaginary.
The whole body is wrapped in golden scales, and a pair of golden dragon horns stand facing the sky.
It’s actually a giant dragon.
It is so big that when a dragon head is raised, it can barely hold up half of its body, and it almost fills the sky above the imperial city, almost touching the clouds in the sky.
Strangely, Han Honghua, Cong Yun, and Shangguan Yuzhou who were beside Kong Jiang did not seem to see this scene.
Only Kong Ji witnessed the dragon's rise.
At this moment, Kong Zhen seemed to understand something. He stared blankly at the unbelievably huge golden dragon and murmured: "The destiny of the country."
People have Luck, the strength of luck determines the size of the opportunities he can carry.
Similarly, a sect also has its destiny, and a country also has its destiny.
That golden dragon represents the destiny of Tianqi as a country.
The Luck Dragon was as docile as a pet in front of the White Emperor's shadow, and gently rubbed its exaggeratedly large forehead against the latter's body.
Then it opened its mouth, and the luck fruit in Bai Di Xuying's hand was swallowed by it.
The moment he entered the fruit's entrance, Kong Jiang could clearly see that the illusory body of the golden dragon had become much more solid.
It's a pity that Kong Zhen didn't wait to observe the appearance of the giant dragon.
The white emperor's shadow has dissipated in the void.
Just as it appeared, the giant dragon slowly lay down on its body that shook the sky and shook the earth, and disappeared into the palace.
On the other side, on the white jade stairs in the palace, a three-legged bronze tripod burst out with a loud roar of dragons.
Ouch! ! !
As the sound of dragon roar spread, a huge portal slowly appeared in the void of the imperial city.
That portal is not luck, everyone can clearly see it.
It is nearly a thousand feet wide.
There is a giant dragon pattern outlined on the door, with a simple rhythm lingering on it.
“Behind the Dragon Gate is the ancient city of Chao Di!” Many monks had collected information about the ancient city of Chao Di and smiled when they saw the appearance of the giant door.
Kong Zhi's eyes also reflected the appearance of the dragon gate. He knew that when the portal opened, the monks holding the order of inheritance would all enter the portal in an instant.
Kong Ji withdrew his gaze, glanced at the three people around him, and asked in a low voice: "Are you ready?"
"I've been impatient for a long time." Han Honghua raised her head. He grinned as he looked at the huge portal.
Shangguan Yuzhou chuckled and added not to be outdone: "Hey, I've been waiting for three years."
"Young monk is ready." Congyun replied calmly. A smile.
The three of them finished speaking at the same time.
Bang! The portal opens.
The huge door panel slowly moved inside in full view of everyone, revealing a gap.
At the same time, Kong Zhen felt the Shirenshi Ling emerging in front of him tremble, and a soft energy spread out and slowly wrapped around him.
The feeling is like being inside a ball of cotton.
The next moment, Kong Ji felt his whole body light up, and then his whole body was lifted up into the sky by that energy.
Flying out with him were Han Honghua and three others.
The four of them turned into streams of light and flew into the open door.
The same scene kept repeating itself in the imperial city.
Even in the palace, there are several streams of light reaching into the sky.
Huangfu Wuqin, the second prince, the prince, Jing Yushou and several members of the royal family who were barely qualified to enter the ancient city.
The other side is outside the imperial city, on top of the towering green mountains.
The young man and his two companions, who were covered in black mist, also turned into streams of light and disappeared.
Countless rays of light poured towards the stone gate from all directions, no more, no less, exactly a hundred.
The whole process only takes three or two breaths.
Until all the streamers have entered.
Cang! The volleying portal suddenly closed. (End of this chapter)
